CAREY AND SWARN MONEY WHICH COMES OUT OF TAXPAYERS THROUGHOUT THE For several months past we have been so busy in writing about the big and little politicians that it was impossible for us to find the time to pay our passing respects to Governor Edward F. Dunne, the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, notwithstanding all the things that we have had on our mind during that time we have been pleasantly dreaming about all three of them each and every night for they are mighty near or dear to our heart. To come right down to the point, one year ago it was stated in these columns that the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D., who is the best begall preacher in the world, revived his old church organ in time to gobble onto some of the state printing and our predictions came true for on August 29, 1913, his old church organ came to life after it had been dead to the world for almost two years, and on September 5th the state printing appeared in its columns and at that time it had not been admitted to the United States mails for it was nothing more than a wildcat church organ, then, after running until September 12, 1913, it went fast asleep again or it was absolutely dead to this world until the latter part of August, 1914, it knew its dealing political, bible pounding owner, the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D., whom we would not trust any farther than we could heave a large elephant by the tail, permitted it to come to life again for the avowed purpose of raking in some more easy money for state printing and if anyone has sense enough to read it they can readily see that it was admitted to the United States mails at the Chicago post office August 14, 1914, and one or two copies of it would be printed every other week until Saturday, October 24, 1914, for on that date through the generosity of Governor Edward F. Dunne, it bloomed forth with five solid columns of state printing amounting to four or five hundred dollars and from that time to the present the cut or the picture of the Hon. Edward F. Dunne has appeared in the columns of the old church organ in order to partly pay --- him for presenting its tricky so-called editor and owner with five hundred dollars worth of state printing. Mrs. S. B. Turner, business manager of the no Idea, visited Springfield last summer and called to pay her respects to Governor Dunne in an effort no doubt to induce him to throw her a large slice of the state printing which would pay for running his cut in the columns of the no Idea but Governor Dunne closed his eyes real tight and he could not see her for more than one column of the state printing which amounted to about fifty dollars. The Hon. or Col. William T. Scott of Springfield, Ill., who claims to be at the head of twenty thousand Colored Democrats in this state and who is the editor and owner of the Leader of that city, received about one column of the state printing as payment in full for all of his bowing, scraping and showing his pearly white teeth to the wishy washy Governor of Illinois. On the other hand as stated before the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph.D. D. D., who according to our way of thinking has not one honest christian hair in his lady loving head nor on any part of his body, gobbled well onto five hundred dollars worth of state printing. Under no circumstances would the present chief executive admit to this truth in our presence but we have been reliably informed by some one who is very close to him that he has stated on numerous times the past year, that he has had more real trouble over the appointments of his two strange pets or pals, the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, secretary of the Illinois State Commission, and the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D., than all the other appointments which he has made to date and so far he is still unable to arrive at the end of the rope which they have so skillfully wound around his neck and weak head. It is clearly evident to our mind that those two eminent or distinguished gentlemen, who have the nerve and the gall to loudly and publicly boast of the fact, that they can rush into the private apartment of Gov. Dunne whenever they CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 21, 1914 BEC HON. EDWARD F. DUNNE The wishy washy Governor of Illinois old time pals, the Rev. Hon. Arch Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, to the expense of all the taxpayers The wishy washy Governor of Illinois, who has made it possible for his two old time pals, the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph.D. D.D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, to spend money like half drunken lords at the expense of all the taxpayers throughout the sucker state. visit Springfield without even knocking at his door or waiting to take their turn like other good citizens, that they walk over the rights of others in this bold manner whenever they want to see Gov. Dunne; that he has not the manhood nor the proper amount of self-respect to challenge or question their boldness in that respect which is further proof that they hold some terrible or direful dark secret over his head; that they can make or compel him to dance to their music whenever they play their fiddles or toot their horns. DEATH OF EX-COUNTY COMMISSIONER FRANK C. LELAND. Last Saturday morning Frank C. Leland, who served as one of the county commissioners from 1908 to December, 1910, passed away at his home, 2438 S.

Carey, is drawing down $75 per month in easy money as assistant secretary of the Illinois State Commission and their son, Madison Davis Carey, knocks out $4.00 to $5.00 per day whenever he feels like working in the County Treasurer's office, which he could not do if it were not pleasing to Gov. Dunne, and Messrs. Carey and Swann are spending lots of easy money which comes out of the pockets of all of the taxpayers throughout Illinois by the grace of Gov. Edward F. Dunne. Attorney Louis B. Anderson, one of the leading candidates for alderman of the second ward, has this week been confined to his home, 2821 Wabash avenue, with a severe cold. Thomas M. Grant, 3538 S.

Dearborn street, after a long illness from the effects of stomach trouble. Funeral services were held over his remains at Quinn Chapel Tuesday morning, its pastor, Rev. J. C.

Later on he became manager of the Chicago Giants, and being well known in the baseball world, many of its fans very much regretted to learn of his passing away. Mrs. Leland, his constant and devoted wife, uncomplainingly done everything in her power to relieve his suffering during his long illness. MRS. WILLIAM EMANUEL GAVE A BOX PARTY AT THE GEAND THEATRE. Mrs. William Emanuel entertained with a box party at the Grand Theatre Tuesday afternoon on the occasion of the Peyton Symphony Orchestra Concert, in which her son, Mr. Harrison, appeared as one of the star features. The party consisted of the following ladies: Mrs. Mamie Smith Odom, Mrs. Mary Williams, Mrs. Mable Washington, Mrs. Floyd Emanuel, Mrs. Madeline Motia. Extra Votes! Extra Votes! Extra Votes! Greatest EXTRA VOTE OFFER The Broad Ax Free Gift Contest TRIPLE . VOTE OFFER, THREE TIMES THE REGULAR NUMBER OF VOTES ON SUBSCRIPTIONS OR ADVERTISEMENTS FOR TEN DAYS ONLY. BEGINNING NOV. 20 AND ENDING NOV. 30 AT 9 P. M. THE PROPOSITION. Beginning Nov. 20, 1914, and ending Monday, Nov. 30, 1914, at 9 P. M., we will allow three times the regular number of votes heretofore allowed on subscriptions and advertisements. The scale of votes which appears below will prevail during this short period which lasts only ten days. This offer will not be extended or renewed. It is positively the biggest offer of the kind that will be made. You will get more votes for your advertisements and subscriptions now than you ever can at any other time. So get your business in now. THE REASON. We make this the Greatest Voting Offer now at the beginning of the contest so that all the contestants can get a tremendous number of votes at the start, and thus provide against the late starters who otherwise might plan to come in at the finish with a great amount of business and so defeat the workers who has been hustling from the beginning. Another reason is that the people want more votes before they are willing to give you their subscriptions or advertisements. Now that we offer you a vastly greater number of votes on every subscription and advertisement you will find that your friends will be much more willing to give you their $2.00 that may be the means of your winning the $1,500.00 automobile. BACK TO THE OLD SCALE AFTER THIS OFFER As soon as this short time expires and this offer ends the little old scale will come in again. Then you will get just one third as many votes as you will be able to get during this offer. Think of it a ten dollar subscription or advertisement means that you will get 45,000 votes, whereas before it would only get you 15,000 votes and after the 30th of November you will only receive 15,000. CANDIDATES HEED We can't impress on you too strongly the importance to you of getting every No. 9 possible subscription and advertisement because you can never again get nearly as many votes as you can get now. ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL It is absolutely essential that you make the most of this opportunity. To many of you these few days mean success or failure. If you lag now then you lose. BRING THEM IN AT ONCE That insures their immediate service and satisfies the people that you and The Broad Ax are doing business promptly. Fight for for your business now and get the big special vote. THE PLAN It costs absolutely nothing to enter and win. Any person may enter the contest and win any one of the prizes. No objectionable character, nor no employee of The Broad Ax, nor no member of an employees family can enter. To enter, all you need do is to send in your name on a nomination blank, or by mail or phone or personally. You can nominate yourself or some friend that you would like to see win a $1,500 automobile. The nomination counts 5,000 votes and starts you on the way to success. TO GET VOTES There is a coupon in each issue of The Broad Ax that counts ten votes. Ask your friends to clip these coupons out of their paper and vote for you. Also we allow 3,000 votes on every subscription paid for one year. If a friend wants to pay a year's subscription to The Broad Ax ($2,00) he can get 3,000 votes for you by so doing. You can see that the fastest way for you to get votes is to go to your friends and tell them that you are in The Broad Ax contest and that you want their subscriptions and their votes in order to win the $1,500 automobile. By referring to the scale of votes published below you will see that a subscription for two years counts very much more than two subscriptions for one year each, and you will find that many of your friends will give you more than one year's subscription so that you may have the great advantage of the extra votes. A still better way for you to get a great many votes easily and quickly is to get advertising from merchants where you and your friends trade. Many (Continued on page 4.) PAGE TWO Woman's World The New Queen of Roumania. Photo by American Press Association. QUEEN MARIE OF ROUMANIA Queen Marie, wife of King Ferdinand of Roumania, who has recently succeeded his uncle, the late King Charles, on the throne of that beautiful little kingdom in the Balkans, is said to be one of the handsomest women in Europe. Her father, the late Duke Alfred of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, was a son of Queen Victoria of England. Her mother was a Russian grand duchess, the aunt of the present czar. Duke Alfred had one son, who died just a year before him, but he had five daughters, whose beauty and cleverness made them the toast of every court of Europe. Strange to say, none of them made particularly brilliant matches. The eldest, Princess Marie Alexandra Victoria, who was born in 1875, married the crown prince, now King Ferdinand, of Roumania in 1893. She is the mother of two sons and three daughters. One of her sisters married the Grand Duke Cyril of Russia after divorcing the Grand Duke of Hesse, brother of the czarina. Another sister wedded the Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenberg, while the third is the wife of the Infante Alfonso of Orleans. Queen Marie, while neither so brilliant nor beloved as her predecessor Queen Elizabeth (Carmen Sylva), is a woman of great taste and kindness of heart. She has done much to encourage interest in the artistic work of Roumanian women, wearing their lovely embroideries herself and persuading her royal relatives to exploit them. Novelty Togue. The toque of black velvet illustrated here is made on chic lines, with deeply notched upstanding brim, edged [Image of a person wearing a tricorn hat]. VELVET CHAPEAU. with dull gold lace. A fanshaped ornament of velvet juts out from the front, held to the crown by a rose of gold lace. Sleeveless Evening Gowns Sleeves are an absolutely unknown feature of evening gowns. And in daytime models many of the sleeves consist merely of loosely shaped coverings of malines, chiffon or net unlined; and clearly displaying the arm. The effort to restore the high guillem, which was tentatively tried out last spring, failed altogether, and doubtless it is due to that failure that the sleeveless and transparent sleeve effects are now so much in evidence. Are, the contour of the arm or cilimatic conditions weigh not at all against fashion's decree. More fur, satin, lace and what not compose the skirt, but the seminudity of the corsage effects are more apparent than ever before. For Bluing Clothes When using bottled bluing for washing the common tendency to pour in too much can be overcome by removing cork and cutting a triangular slit the entire length of cork. Reinsert cork and the bluing will come out very slowly. This saves pulling the cork out each time you have occasion to use the bluing. Good form Bowl and Spoon Shower. Bowl and spoon shower. An inexpensive yet very acceptable shower was given by twenty girls who lived in the same neighborhood with the bride to be. They wanted something different from the usual shower, as all were going to give rather costly wedding gifts. Each girl brought a bowl and a spoon, and such a variety! They delegated two of the girls to do the buying so as to have as few duplicates as possible. It was an afternoon thimble party, and each brought one dish towel to hem, also for the bride to be. Then one by one the bowls and spoons were brought in by a small brother of the hostess. When each was served the cups were small bowls of blue and white Chinese ware, to be used as individual custard or gelatin molds, and there were several lovely nests of Chinese or Japanese ware. Every one said it was a most attractive party. The spoons were of aluminium, porcelain enameled ware, wooden and tin. One was a glass one for salad dressing. A large wooden chopping bowl held flowers and fruit in the center of the table and was also presented to the delighted guest of honor. New England Breakfast Recently a clever girl gave an entertainment which she called a New England breakfast. The hour was 12 o'clock, and the spread was indeed a decided change from the ordinary "society" menu. With the exception of a few frills, the hostess declared it was what was served for breakfast every Sunday morning by one of the best housekeepers in a New England village. The table had a plain linen cover, a bowl of flowers shaded from pink to crimson was in the center, and on either end of the table there was an old fashioned latticework china fruit dish filled with fruit. This was served. Then there was white cornmeal mush in blue Canton bowls, with cream and hot rolls. Next came codfish balls and individual plates with scrambled eggs. Genuine Boston baked beans in brown earthen ramekins, Boston brown bread (the real article), then coffee with doughnuts and cookies. No artificial lights were used, and the hostess poured the coffee at the table. Young Girls' Masquerade. A novel party for young girls is the children's masquerade. For the invitations use the party stationery that comes, fill in the day, date and hours and write on "Come dressed as a child under ten." Serve ice cream, animal cookies, cocoa with marshmallow in each cup, stick candy, and have the favor motto caps. Ask each girl to tell some story of her own child life, like the worst thing she ever did, the worst scare she ever had, etc., and I promise you the party will be a success. For games play old maid, casino and any other you liked when you were "really, truly little." When the Bride Calls. If a bride is calling upon a married woman with her husband living she leaves two of her husband's and one of her own visiting cards when she returns her first visits. Separate cards should be sent to the son and daughter and one to the father and mother, addressed "Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Smith." It is not good form to say "and family" on the outside envelope. "Will be at home" is correct, and just "at home" on the inclosure cards, with the date given. Short Names Fashionable Long names and many initials are no longer smart. One must be satisfied with a Christian name and a surname if one would be quite up to the latest in the world of fashion. Even a married woman is not entitled to more than two initials if she considers herself smart. Perhaps the idea is due to the fact that monograms of two letters are usually more artistic than when three letters are used and certainly easier to decipher. For the Tea Table. A pretty novelty for the smart tea table is a set of hand painted Hungarian china, rimmed with wicker. There are the slender, long dish with tall handle of wicker for serving sandwiches, the little round and oblong dishes for bonbons and, prettier than these, the holder of wicker with rims for three small, round china saucers, one for olives, one for pickles or any relish desired and one for radishes or something of the sort. Guest Room Stationery. One of the newest ideas for the country place is that of having the stationery in the guest room harmonize with the coloring of that room. Papers in exquisite blues, yellows, tans and mauves are to be found. The name of the home, if it has a special name, is placed at the center top of the pane, while at the right or left corner is the name of the railroad station and the telephone number. Lefting Guest Alone There are ninety-nine ways of entertaining house guests. All of them are right--for some guests. But the wife hostess is she who lets her guests help by suggesting the things they like and then helping to carry them out. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO. NOVEMBER 21, 1914. C SATIN AND NET GOWN. The girl who is planning her gown for the holiday dance may find much to please her in this gown of pink satin draped in white net, heavily trimmed with silver embroidery. The deep crush girdle is of cloth of silver in low waisted effect. NECKWEAR VAGARIES A directoire collar of handkerchief linen with long necktie has ends ornamented with drawn work. A new wing collar is finished with double featherstitched hem. It has narrow revers outlined with a band of blue moire ribbon terminating in a bow. A vest made of hand embroidered plique with high collar has a piping of black moire. New styled examples of neckwear exhibit high closing tucked fronts with two or three inch width side plaited frills attached. The high style, conservative collar is made of sheer batiste or fine cobwebby linen pressed into plats and trimmed with fine laces flatly attached and hung from the middle of the back of the collar. The ascots, those long time, many years old styles, are returning. The novelty of these familiar looking neck fixings consists of the white foundation collar worn with colored ties and with a frilled rather than with a plain shirt. Much of the new organdy neckwear is not all white. There are Roman striped corners on some of the collars and cuffs of bright, printed colors—stripes half an inch wide. There is much striping of black on collars and vests of organdy. Some of the newest things are embroidered in oriental designs with red and green and other colors. Instead of sewing the high standing ruche or collar into the neck of your dress sew snaps every two or three inches along the facing of the neckpiece and the corresponding parts at equal distances on the neck of the dress. CARE OF THE LOOKS. Have a comfortable bed. Never sleep propped up with pillows. Lie as flat as possible, with a small pillow or none at all under the head. Never sleep with the mouth open. Knitting the brows when reading or working is a habit certain to produce disfiguring lines on the face. Heavy hats cause headaches and are very bad for the hair. A hat should be light and should not be worn so tightly on the head as to exclude all the air. Lack of ventilation for the hair is one of the causes of baldness. Always file the nails from the corners toward the center of the nails. This tends to make the finger tips slender. It is well to file the nails on the same day every week. Relax the muscles, cultivate a pleasant expression and remember that lips which curve upward and smile are much more attractive than the drooping sort. Little squares of blotting paper hung in the dress closet, moistened once a week with perfume, will be found to be most efficient sachets, for the odor seems to permeate and remain in the garments longer than when the powdered product is used. Stately Garment to Slip on Over the Evening Costume. A BROCADE EVENING WRAP. This stunning new evening wrap is of brocaded satin with deep gathered insert of gold lace from shoulder to hips. The standing collar is trimmed with bands of skunk. WHY POPCORN POPS. Why popcorn pops is not fully understood. Formerly it was supposed that the popping resulted from the expansion of oil in the kernel on being heated, but more probably it is due to the expansion of moisture contained in the starch cells. The moisture expands when heated with sufficient force to cause an explosion of the cells, and the kernel turns completely inside out, enveloping the embryo and hull. Probably the expansion of the air within the seed coat also plays some part in the process. TWO IN ONE Simple Frock Which is Susceptible of Widely Different Treatments. Mothers on the lookout for a simple, plain little school frock will like this dress made with kimono body portion and straight plaited skirt. Those who are seeking a more dressy frock will appreciate the addition of the overblouse with tunic effect shown on the figure. In this picture this latter is made of flowered challis and plain batiste, but there are many materials that can be put together in the same way. For the ten year size the dress will require four and one-eighth yards of 10 GIRL'S TUNIC DRESS. material twenty-seven inches wide, with two and seven-sixths yards twenty-seven inches wide for the tunic and trimming. This May Manton pattern is cut in sizes for girls of six to twelve years. Send 10 cents to this for giving number, 8448, and it will be promptly forward to buy by mail. If in haste send an additional two cent stamp for letter postage. When ordering use coupon. Cookery Points Some Delicious Purees. A purée may be either an accompaniment to meat or form the foundation of a substantial soup. Whatever vegetable is turned into a purée must first be well boiled, then passed through a sieve, a work demanding patience, it is true. The purée will then have a little butter and seasoning added to it. cream or the yolks of eggs or some gravy sauce, according to what meat it accompanies. A puree of chestnuts accompanies veal or poultry and requires the addition of a little thick cream. A puree of white haricot beans accompanies roast mutton. A puree of sorrel or spinach or both combined is really nicest when served without meat and placed in individual cottages or in shells of fried bread. After passing the spinach, etc., through the sieve it is beaten up with a little butter and cream and liberally seasoned. It should not be boiled more than just enough to cook it tender, and then it will keep its color and flavor. Marrows, turnips, artichokes and pumpkins all make delicious purees, sweet or savory. Another delicious puree of small white onions and new potatoes makes a dainty dish if sufficient cream is added and the mixture is put into small china dishes and browned on top. The purée destined for serving alone or as an accompaniment to meat must be kept thick, yet smooth. The purée that forms the foundation of a soup is lengthened out to make a sufficient quantity by adding to it meat or vegetable stock and milk or cream or yolk of eggs, etc. The eggs and cream should not be put in until after the purée is cooked and taken from the fire. Canning Chicken. For quick lunches, unexpected guests and many occasions when she might not be prepared with needed food an enterprising housewife cans chicken each year, when the fowls are young, tender and wholesome. She cuts the chickens as for frying and stews until tender enough to slip off the bones. She packs glass jars which have been sterilized and are boiling hot with the chicken, fills up with the hot broth, then seals. Chicken canned in this way is delicious for salad, sandwiches, chicken pie, croquets, or may be used in any of the other many ways in which chicken is served. The broth will make fresh gravy or may be cooked down and jellied for many other ways of serving. The chicken of course must be thoroughly cooked, the jars and the meat hot and the jars perfectly air tight. The Ever Useful Casserole. Cold roast lamb, beef, veal, chicken, kidneys, etc., may be warmed up in the casserole. Heat any gravy that is left over to almost bolling point and then put in slices of lamb or beef and let them get warmed through. Do not cook them. In the absence of gravy a rich beef juice could be used. For boiled or fricaseed chicken have ready some boiled rice and put this first in the casserole. Take off the skin of the chicken and bone it, place the bits on top of the rice, pour over gravy or bits of butter, add seasoning if needed and a dust of curry powder. Then cover the casserole and let the rice and chicken heat to the cooking point. When heating the lamb and beef slices the casserole must not be covered, as the steam toughens the meat. Chestnut Dressing. Chestnuts make a delicious dressing for the turkey. Take one pound Italian chestnuts, one-half cupful shortening, one cupful breadcrumbs, one-half cupful seeded raisins, one and one-half tablespoonful poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, celery salt, sugar, cayenne to taste. Blanch the chestnuts; boll till very tender and put through a rice. Add the breadcrumbs, shortening, seasoning and raisins and balance of seasonings to taste. Mix thoroughly. Seeding Grapex When preparing grapes for pies get rid of the seeds by following this plan: Wash the grapes, slip off the skins and put them in one pan and the pulp in another. Cook the pulp for a few minutes and rub through a sieve, taking out all the seeds. Now add the skins and sugar to the pulp, cook for a few minutes and can and seal. It is all very quickly done, and the pies made of the grapes without the seeds are delicious. Washing Fresh Fruit Wash fruits before eating. Millions of germs lurking on the outside cause trouble if they reach the stomach and bowels. Intestinal disturbances are also caused by unripe or overripe fruits. The only irritating properties are found in the rind or husk, which is easy to get rid of. Old Fashioned Recipes. For blueberry pudding line a pudding dish with slices of buttered bread, fill with canned berries and sugar. Cover with the slices of bread. Bake until you find the bread covered with the juice. Keep a large plate over top for the first half hour or so. Eat cold or with cream. For the Children Prince Rupert and Princess May of Teck. Photo by American Press Association. Happy looking little folks these here pictured, Prince Rupert and Princess May of Teck. They are members of the royal family of Great Britain. Young America has small knowledge and little regard for high sounding titles, but across the ocean they amount to a great deal. The boy and girl are son and daughter of Prince Alexander of Teck, who gets his title from Germany. Their mother is granddaughter of the Duke of Albany, who was one of the sons of the late Queen Victoria of England. And here we have a very lamentable situation. The little people have friends and relatives on both sides in the war now being waged. But they are too young to realize what a terrible calamity war is. Princess May is eight and her brother seven. Cakewalk Party There could be no more enjoyable way of spending a winter evening than at a "cakewalk." When sending out your invitations ask your guests to come dressed to represent some kind of a cake. You will be surprised to learn how many there are. Number your guests as they arrive, handing each one a card and pencil. The names of the cakes are to be guessed and written on the cards, and a fine cake may be presented to the person guessing the largest number, while a cake of soap may be used for the booby prize. For the "cakewalk" play the old game of "going to leumlem." Serve as many kinds of cake as you can for refreshments, with hot coffee or chocolate if it be a cold night, lemonade or grape juice if it be mild. You may add salted nuts if you care to "Jelly roll" has been represented by wearing a bolster case, with red seahorse to suggest the jelly. A jolly boy in Dutch costume suggests Duck cake. An elaborate costume consisting of white muslin fastened around a barre hoop and worn as a hoopskirt, the top drawn into a peak covering the head was White mountain cake. A white apron had the bars of the musical and printed across it, for a border the note C occurring at intervals. A fringing of peanuts was fastened along the lower edge. It took some time to guess the kind of cake—dough (doot nuts). Politeness In Athens A long time ago in Athens the Spartan boys were guests of the Athenian boys at the theater. They were sitting in the front row because they were the guests of honor. Just before the play began an old man came into the crowded theater and made his way down to the front. He stopped by the seats of the Athenian boys, and they commenced to make fun of him. He turned sadly away. As he was about to go away the Spartan boys all rose and motioned for the old man to come and sit with them. At first the Athenian boys were ashed; then they began to cheer. All the people were attracted by this and looked to see the cause of it. When the cheering was over the old man stood up and said: "Athenian boys know what is right but Spartan boys do what is right." A. Strange Idol. Madagascar natives have a strange idol. It is a piece of wood corored with silk and attached to a wire, which the priests pull in a certain way. The god performs movements in all directions, to the great terror of the faithful, who believe it is really alive. The priests dwell in houses of wood, as the god will have neither stone nor brick. To distinguish themselves from the other natives the faithful wear their hair rolled in curl papers, like women, and keep it in the shape of a horn by means of pins. Dorris In Australia Dangers in Australia. Bush life has its decided drawbacks in Australia, even in the quiet walks of life. While the Rev. Dr. Davidson was conducting service at Runnymea, Victoria, a voice in solemn tears cried, "Do not move, Mr. Davidson; there is a snake at your elbow!" The minister glanced around and shuddered, for quite close was a tiger snake quietly coiling up for a slumber. It required considerable nerve for him to remain still, but he did until one of the congregation killed the reptile. Transpositions. I'm first a tax, and then transpose me. A mark of pity you'll expose me. Answer—Rate—tear. Transpose a Chinese plant, 'twill give What you must do if you would live. Answer—Tee—set.

GATION The interview between President Woodrow Wilson and William Monroe Trotter has become a part of the history of this country and nothing can ever change it or efface it from its pages in justice to Mr. Trotter it must be said in his favor that he is a graduate of Harvard which is one of the best and oldest educational institutions in the world; that he is the owner and the brilliant editor of the Guardian of Boston, Mass., which is by far the best newspaper published in the interest of the Afro-American race in any part of this country; that through its columns he loyally supported the Hon. Woodrow Wilson in his more than successful race for President in 1912; that before entering the White House, November 12, for the sole purpose of seeking an interview with the President and (not for social equality) he was backed up with petitions signed by more than one hundred thousand Afro-Americans residing in all parts of this broad land, (and many of them had cheerfully voted for the President in 1912), bitterly protesting against segregation in the departments at Washington, D. C., which has caused the Colored clerks and others effected by the new order of things to feel like aliens and cowardly criminals in a strange land; that Mr. Trotter's father before him, J. Monroe Trotter, bravely fought in the Union army during the war of the slave holder's rebellion; that he was Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia under the first administration of that great Democrat who towered like a wonderful giant above all the spineless Democrats of the present age and in all the ages of the past for that matter, who was one of the best and most patriotic statesman that this country or any country in the world has ever produced—the late President Grover Cleveland. In view of the above undisputed facts Mr. Trotter, as any other American citizen, had the right to present his side of the case or argument to President Wilson in a plain matter of fact and manner, for no sane person can uphold or defend segregation of the various races in a democracy, like the one we are supposed to exist under or along the lines of a Democratic form of Government. Those who are loudly condemning President Wilson for being unable to see the light of day or the bright sunlight shining forth on the final solution of the so-called Negro problem, or question in this county, must remember that President Theodore Roosevelt without trial or jury mobbed and lynched three companies of the 25th Regiment; that President William H. Taft, after his election in 1908, spent the winter of that year down in Georgia that more than one half of his inaugural address, March 4, 1909, was devoted to his Southern policy, which he would adhere to in dealing with the Negro; that he was the first Republican President broadly speaking to evolve the idea of segregating the White and Colored clerks in the various governmental departments at Washington; that the detectable unreconstructed rebel southern Democrat of Tennessee, Luke Wright, was a member of the Roosevelt and Taft cabinets; that not more than ten White men out of one thousand in any part of this county are willing to permit any Colored man to argue or dispute any point or question with them unless they, the Whites, feel highly insulted or offended. Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist church; Rev. J. C. Anderson, pastor of Quinn Chapel; Rev. William Gray, Rev. A. J. Carey and many of the other preachers residing in the second ward, are all shouting for Hon. Oscar D. Deprist for elderman. --- THE CITY, COUNTY AND STATE ELECTIONS FOR 1915. The following are the city, county and state elections for 1915, which has been prepared by the board of election commissioners: Jan. 23—First day for filing petitions of primary candidates for mayor, city clerk, city treasurer and aldermen. Feb. 2—Pre-primary registration day. Feb. 3—Last day for filing primary petitions. Feb. 23—Primaries for nomination of mayor and other municipal officers. March 16—Registration day. April 6—Mayorality election. June 7—Election of fourteen Circuit Court Judges, one Superior Court Judge and five justices of the Supreme court. Party conventions for the nomination of judicial candidates will be held immediately after the mayorality election. Politicians assume it would be impossible to get an emergency bill through the legislature in time to provide for primaries in April. VACANCIES ON BENCH Judge Theodore Brentano is the only judge of the Superior court whose successor will be elected in June. The terms of all the Circuit judges expire. Circuit and Superior judges are elected for six-year terms, while justices of the Supreme court serve for nine years. Chicago voters will have a hand in the election of only one justice of the Supreme court, the other four justices being elected from downstate districts. Supreme court justices whose terms expire are Orrin N. Carter of Chicago, Alonza K. Vickers of East St. Louis, Frank K. Dunn of Charleston and James H. Cartwright of Oregon, republicans, and William M. Farmer of Vandalia, democrat. ALL SEEK RE-ELECTION All are candidates for re-election. Defeat of one o1 the present republican justices by a democrat will mean that a majority of the Supreme court will be democratic. The two justices whose terms do not expire, George A. Cooke of Aledo and Charles Craig of Galesburg, are democrats. PENNANTS TO BE AWARDED FOR BEST RED CREEH SEAL SALE. National Competition in Seven Groups of Cities and Towns. Pennants or banners will be given by the American Red Cross and The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to the seven counties, cities, towns and villages in the United States selling the largest number of Red Cross Christmas Seals per capita before January 1st, according to an announcement from head quarters in New York today. In order to make the competition even in all parts of the country the counties, cities and towns have been grouped according to their population in 1910 into seven classes, as follows: From 500 to 2000; from 2000 to 8000; from 8000 to 25000; from 25000 to 50000; from 50000 to 150,000; 150,000 to 500,000; and over 500,000. A specially prepared pennant will be given to the county, city, town or village in each class anywhere in the United States selling the largest number of seals per inhabitants. Last year Cody, Wyo., was among the largest buyers per capita selling over 22,000 with a population of 1200. Some cities in New York, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and other states sold from three to six per resident. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which is carrying on the promotion of the sale considers that any city of 10,000 to 100,000 population ought to sell at least three cents worth of seals per inhabitant. All of the proceeds from the sale of Red Cross Seals, except the expenses of the sale, go to fight tuberculosis in the community, state, city or town where the Seals are sold. NEGEO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE The League has had some very interesting and instructive meetings for the past Sundays. It is holding a series of meetings for the benefit of teachers, parents and pupils of the public schools, in order that they may be better able to solve the problems that come up from day to day. Sunday, November 22nd, at the Reading Room, 3005 State St., 4 P. M., Miss Williamson, principal of the Coleman School, will be present and tell of her experiences with relation to school and the home. All parents and friends of pupils in this school are especially invited to be present. Miss Louise Scroll, principal of Keith School, was with us last Sunday and gave a most excellent talk, telling of the bath, gymnasium, manual training, which the pupils of Keith enjoy. She hopes to have the penny lunches ere long. THE LATE EDWARD G. ALEXANDER PASSED AWAY AT THE HOME OF ME. AND MRS. SAM BROWN, 4534 S. STATE ST., AND NOT AT HIS HOME ON RHODES AVENUE. It was stated in these columns last week and in the other newspapers that the late Edward G. Alexander passed away at the home of his relatives, 3741 Rhodes avenue.

MICHAEL ZIMMER The popular Sheriff of Cook county, who will hold forth at the Bethel Literary at 4 o'clock this coming Sunday afternoon, November 22nd. He will talk directly to the children and their parents. That statement was not true, as it appears that he closed his eyes in death Wednesday morning, on November 11, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Brown, 4534 S. State street, where he had resided most of the time for the past year. Later on, on that same day, his remains were removed to the family residence on Rhodes avenue.

The management of the Vassar Dancing Academy wishes to correct the erroneous statement that has been so widely circulated in the city—that the Wednesday class has closed. We wish to assure the public and our many loyal friends that such reports are purely malicious in purpose and we are intending to still maintain the same standard that we have heretofore established. The demand for the beautiful dolls given each lady on Nov. 18 has won the approval and admiration as being so unique and we are requested on many demands to give our friends another and the same treat on Nov. 25.

CONTEST NOW OPEN The contest for $2,500 worth of free prizes is now open and of course the sooner one gets started the better his or her opportunity to succeed. Those who begin early have a distinct advantage in being able to solicit all their friends and acquaintances before any one else gets to them. ASAD PLIGHT The other day I saw an old couple set out of doors because they were unable to pay their rent. "Brute of a landlord" I hear you say. But no, you are wrong. The landlord, too, must live this hard, cold winter. He is not a rich man. He cannot live without the rent from his flats. He has waited as long as he could before asking the old couple to move. How his well-cared-for features contrast with the pinched and shrivelled faces of his tenants. Yet, years ago, I knew both couples. Both were prosperous, both lived in comfortable homes. Yet there was this difference—one paid rent, the other paid the same amount on a home, paid it without stinting himself too mueh, without foregoing any of the pleasures of life—rather, his pleasures were increased by one of which the other knew nothing—the joy of possession. This feeling of possession will round out your life, insure a comfortable old age, and it is easily obtained. Simply let your rent apply toward a home. It will not be long, and after you have paid your money out like rent, it will still be yours. For instance, a modern flat building in the Forty-eight block on Langley avenue brings in $1,512 each year. It is selling at $9,000, so you see the rent will pay for this place in less than six years, and after that you will have $1,512 a year to do with as you please. That is better than the poorhouse, or dependency on a relative, for neither is pleasant. There are many other bargains in real estate on all the popular streets, and in all sections of the city. We have some rare bargains on Forest, Wabash, Prairie, Green, Eberhart, Kenwood, and other exclusive residence districts. We invite you to call and let us tell you about them. Fraternal Real Estate Co., 6155 Wentworth Ave. Phone Wentworth 1712.

FINE CLOCK FOR THE APPOM TOX CLUB. On Thursday evening at 8:00 o'clock Mr. Delbert Lawrence Lee presented the Appomattox Club, 3441 South Washab Ave., with a magnificent clock and as a special compliment to his personal friend President Frank L Hamilton, the clock is the handwork of Mr. Lee himself. Informal dancing followed and those present delightfully enjoyed the occasion. CHARLES A. GRIFFIN TO MAKE THE RACE FOR ALDERMAN OF THE SECOND WARD.

By L. W. Washington. The Willing Workers, one of the active organizations of Hyde Park, gave a very unique entertainment last week for the purpose of paying on a new carpet purchased for the church. It was a success. Miss Birdie Williams, president; Mrs. Stella Davidson, secretary. The sick room of Mrs. Eva Raymore, the president of the Hyde Park Charity Club, looked like a veritable flower garden, interesting of tokens from her many friends and club members. Baby William Paris, Jr., of 5426 Kenwood avenue, was given a surprise party Tuesday evening by his father and uncles. Both mother and boy were delighted. Mrs. Tresa Macon, ex-president of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Illinois, gave an able address to the Neighborhood Association at the Clotee's Scott's Settlement. Miss Scott read an excellent paper. Rev. Perry has moved; likewise Mrs. H. Lee, with whom he was stopping, from 5615 Harper avenue to Lake Park avenue. Mr. Perry aside from being superintendent of the Sunday-school is one of our young, aggressive ministers. A union of organizations constituting the St. Paul Baptist church, the Hyde Park A. M. E. church, the Hyde Park Women's Charity Club and the Benevolent Club, for the purpose of caring for the destitute family of Mr. Simons, who lives at 5473 Kimbark avenue. He has been stricken with paralysis for over a year. His four children are dependent upon what support his dear companion can give them, which is very small, owing to the time she has to give to her husband in his illness, and many, many nights she has been left alone to sit up all night at his bedside. The Broad Ax commends this union of forces, for it is moving in the right direction. Would to God a better understanding would prevail like this with the whole people. "Let us be doers and not hearers only." Quarterly meeting was observed last Sunday afternoon by the Hyde Park A. M. E. church, with Dr. W. D. Cook, the presiding elder, in charge. This was a splendid service and the people gathered in large numbers to hear Dr. B. W. Taylor of St. Stephen's church, west side, who selected his text from Paul's epistle to the Romans, 15th chapter, 29th verse. His theme was "Christian Confidence," the thing seemingly most needful today in the Christian world and more so among ourselves. We are very sorry to hear at this late hour of the death of the mother-in-law of Rev. W. H. Griffin, pastor of the Hyde Park A. M. E. church, and brother to Chas. A. Griffin, one of the Colored candidates for alderman in the second ward. We hope to say more about it in our next issue. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING Nowadays one hears much of the "high cost of living,"—it is higher and soaring higher. That is a fact too evident to be denied and so the question of the day with most of us is "How can I cut expenses—how save a little?" There are many ways of solving this problem—by cutting grocers' bills—by careful use of gas—by economy in dress. However, it is by none of these methods that we can help you, but we can help you to lower your rent bill. We have lots of modern flats in desirable neighborhoods at very low rental—lower than you can find anywhere else in the city. Call at our office and let us help you.

ALPHA SUFFRAGE CLUB The Alpha Suffrage held its regular meeting at 3005 State St., on Wednesday last. Mrs. Sadie Adams gave a full report of the suffrage convention recently held in this city. The women are studying all phases of politics in order to be up on all questions that might arise in the coming Spring campaign. Great interest is being manifested, and the club is accomplishing splendid results in teaching the women their duties in affairs of government. CHIPS Charles E. Morrison, one of the high attaches of Mayor Carter H. Harrison's office, may make the race for alderman of the second ward, as many of his friends are urging him to do so. Attorney George W. Ellis addressed the Men's Club at Grace Presbyterian church last Sunday evening on "The Psychology of Race Prejudice." The church was crowded by those who were anxious to listen to his remarks. The A. M. E. preachers met in their regular Monday morning conference last Monday and after winding up their business for their Lord, they passed a resolution indorsing the Hon. Oscar DePriest for alderman of the second ward. Capt. William Robinson, 3511 Federal street, who is one of the headlights of Company A of the 12th Regiment of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, is strongly in favor of the Hon. Oscar Delpriest for alderman from the second ward. Attorney Walter M. Farmer, 184 W. Washington street, will be the leading speaker at the Sunday afternoon meeting at the Y. M. C. A., 38th street and Wabash avenue. His subject will be, "What benefit has the European war been to the Colored people of this country." Sylvester Russell, the dramatic writer, was the first of this week arrested for some cause or other at the instance of H. B. Miller, owner of the two Monogram theatres, and after the hearing in one of the municipal courts, Mr. Russell was discharged and given a clean bill of sale (as it were) and now he has entered suit against Mr. Miller, asking for damages to the extent of $10,000. "So Jack Hansom has married Miss Goldie?" "Yes, and I was mighty sorry to see it." "Sorry? For her sake or his?" Sorry. For her sake of his. "For mine. I wanted her."—Boston Transcript. If you judge things by their titles You are apt to come to grief. Just for instance, there are few things Longer than a lawyer's "brief." —Judge. First Student (in a burst of admiration)—Professor Gabby is a wonder as a linguist. What tongue hasn't her mastered? Associate Professor (dryly)—His wife's.—Baltimore American.

Peck-I think it raged at the rate of 300 words a minute. - Philadelphia Ledger. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 21, 1914 SIRES AND SONS. Senator Weeks of Massachusetts weighs 275 pounds. The famous French lawyer, Maitre Labori, who became an international figure at the time of the Dreyfus case, is now fifty-five years old. Dr. Doyen, the French surgeon, is generally considered to be the wealthiest medical man in the world. He is also one of the busiest, and it is proverbial in Paris-that no healthy man can ever get a talk with him. Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, who has been made a member of the Rockefeller institute, has for the past ten years done important medical research, work for the institute. Dr. Noguchi is a Japanese and has spent a large part of his life in this country. Dr. Emanuel Lasker, the world's chess champion, won the title from W. Steinitz, who had successfully defended it for twenty-eight years. It almost looks as if his successor, like Steinitz, would reign supreme for a long number of years, as he has never been beaten in any match and has won a great number of first prizes in international tournaments. Pert Personals. Richard Harding Davis says the English people were calm and silent when he reached London. Maybe they did not know he was coming.—Indianapolis Star. Naturally, Lillian Russell is peeved over her daughter's latest marriage. Competition even from one's daughter is not pleasurable.—Richmond Times-Dispatch. Has everybody heard the story about how Brand Whitlock accepted the Belgian post for the purpose of "gaining peace and quiet for the leisurely writing of his next book?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. G. Bernard Shaw says he is a cosmopolitan, an antivivisectionist, a vegetarian, a teetotaler, a nonsmoker, an atheist and a liar. This will be a surprise to those who thought that he smoked.—Washington Post. Town Topics. A few executions might discourage the common practice of highwaymen killing men in St. Louis—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Judging from the quiet times preailing in New York, that city has been suffering from a shortage of Black Hand importations—Washington Post. Classes for the study of civics are being organized among Chicago women. As yet, however, it has not become necessary to organize classes in domestic economy among the men.—Chicago News. It is now possible to go from Boston to New York or from New York to Boston by trolley without change of cars if you care to go from Boston to New York or from New York to Boston.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Flippant Flings. The Frenchman who got that $2,000 for capturing the first German flag was some pennant winner.—Philadelphia Inquirer. However, there's no chance of anybody "bottling" the American fleet, as it's against Bos'n Daniels' rules.—Washington Post. A subway train approaching a citizen who leaned too far over the platform removed his teeth. The economical might also try this with warts and moles.—New York Sun. The kaiser is reported determined to hold Klauchau. If you have ever experienced the difficulty of holding a sneeze, you can sympathize with the kaiser.—Manchester Union. High Prices. Uncle Sam has declared war on the price boosters, and it's a mighty popular declaration.—Milwaukee Sentinel. The way in which the country mobilized against inflated prices for food seems to have had some effect.—Philadelphia Press. While the dogs of war are loose in Europe some of the hogs of war are busy in this country raising food prices.—Chicago News. Americans are not in the mood to take the boosting of prices on food products as a matter of course just because a war is in progress in Europe.—Sloux City Tribune. German Gleanings Germany has 50,000 boy scouts. Every German regiment has a chirap- odist in its ranks. The present German empire has an area of 208,780 square miles. The postal department of Germany employs over 8,000 girls, whose wages range from $12.50 to $17.50 a month. Prussia requires that lightning rods on government buildings shall be inspected by an expert electrician at least once a year. Facts From France. In France last year 14,500 divorces were granted. The wealth of France is estimated at about $50,000,000,000. Before the war France made nearly 26,000,000 pairs of gloves yearly, and of these 18,000,000 pairs were exported. The walls of all the rooms of a new building at the University of Paris are lined with lead to make them impervious to emanations of radium, with which experiments are conducted.

Mrs. Ruby Ross Goodnow, the writer, and Rayne Adams, the architect, are collaborating on a book which will deal practically with problems of home building. Robert Eugene Pougheon, to whom the Grand Prix de Rome for painting was recently awarded, is a French artist who has already attained a high place among painters of the world. A little French girl, Mlle. Huguette Vitoy, who is only fifteen years old, recently had admitted to the exhibition of the Society of French Artists a plaster cast of a little girl putting her doll to sleep. George Annard MacKenzie, who recently obtained his M. A. degree at Cambridge university, is deaf and dumb. Five years ago he won unusual academic success by taking the degree of bachelor of arts. He has already wooed art with success and has become both a portrait and a landscape painter. Current Comment.

Just at this time there is no disposition to look down on the American diplomat merely because his legation building is not supremely orate and elegant.—Washington Star.

Uncle Sam's ship of state may yet prove the Noah's ark of nations.—Chicago News. Europe is nearer to a universal language than in many years. But the mouths of cannon speak it, and it is of no use to the Esperantists.—New York World. Well, you who would like to have lived in great days, like those of Caesar, Washington, Napoleon—you are living in them. Are you conscious of it? Are you greatly affected?—New York Tribune. Fashion Frills. Silk stockings may grow scarcer, but there's nothing to prevent a grown man from wearing white socks and a wrist watch.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. If we can't get our fashions from Paris any more perhaps we shall be able to invent some fashions of our own which we will not feel so much disposed to ridicule.—Philadelphia Press. A house dress with a single fastening is advertised, but there is no relief for the husbands who are accustomed to earning contempt in their capacity of lady's maid when a party gown is in order.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Short Stories. Turks now tolerate portraits. Prophets are predicting a cold winter. The coast of the state of Maine was at one time lined with volcanoes. The Arabs were the first to use orange blossoms as bridal wreaths. Wilkesland coast, in the antarctic regions, is said to be the windiest in the world. Vacuum carafes, permanently installed in the rooms of new hotels, will disband the "ice water brigade." English Etchings. The leading daily newspapers in London number twenty-five. There are coal fields in Great Britain that have been worked for at least 700 years, yielding every kind of coal except anthracite. A London physician practicing in the poorer districts of that city says that 25 per cent of the children coming under his observation wear charms and amulets under their clothing. Science Siftings. The pulse of a horse is a little more than half as rapid as that of a man. According to a German scientist, hailstones are formed by the electricity of the thunderstorms which they accompany. Distinct traces of light have been detected in the ocean at depths of more than 3,000 l. set by an English oceanographical expedition. Ways of Women. Very few girls look queenly in a wrapper.—Kansas City Jurnal. What a pretty girl likes to be told is that she is clever too.—Detroit Free Press. From a woman's point of view, to be compelled to suffer in silence takes all the pleasure from it. — Philadelphia Record.

A rising composer wrote an anthem for a celebration in a certain colonial capital. Toward the end of the ceremonies, when the people were going out a few at a time, the author rushed to the conductor and said: "Is it over?" "Practically." "But, great Scott, man, they have not sung my anthem?" "Well," said the conductor, "so long as the people are going out peacefully and quietly why sing it at all?"—Stray Stories.

"Aren't you afraid he'll prove a rival for leadership in our party?" "No. Just let him go ahead making speeches while I devote my attention to the real business." — Washington Star. Difficult Children Said his father to Jonathan Sinjin: "My lad, you're as wild as an Injun. Really, you ain't, John. What I'd call a saint, John. And I think that you're in for a swingin'!" Said her mother to Little Miss Chumley: "You color your hair rather bumly. Do it more blondily. Daughter Cholmondley. Don't streak it and freak it so rumely!" —New York Sun. She Was Surprised. "I've got something I want to tell you. You haven't heard about the shocking Billinger tragedy, have you?" "Yes. I've heard about it at least four times. You're late." "That's funny.

Anybody who knows anything about a family fight should know enough to remain strictly neutral. While machine guns are melting their bearings in Europe, there is talk of reviving archery in this country. If only the supply of habit forming drugs were shut off the war might prove a blessing to this country. There may be as much wisdom in preparing for peace in time of war as in preparing for war in time of peace. Switzerland's bid to become the international hospital camp is due to the fact that the tourist business is ruined. Food speculation is an ancient and dishonorable pastime that has failed to be reformed in the course of centuries. The newspapers are finding as much trouble in naming the present war as a young couple finds in naming the baby. After this the Belgians will probably want to move their country to some place out of the track of other people's wars. The transatlantic steamer passenger may now feel the excitement and awe of the blockade runners of half a century past. No wonder Greece is irritated. She paid full price for a pair of second-hand ships and then Turkey got two at a forced sale. Usually "decisive" battles do not occur until late in the war. And seldom has it been possible to tell one until after it was over. BANK OF CHICAGO STATE SUPERVISION WITH STATE STREET CAGO, ILL.

Washington St. Residence 5548 Jefferson Av. Phone Midway 5515 Chicago In time of peace prepare for a war tax. Will Switzerland come to blows with Bolivia? Happiness is mostly a matter of the imagination. One of the war needs is a self pronouncing geography. The geographer is having his troubles mapped out for him. An exchange of compliments is equal to trading green goods. When some men think, they make a noise like a boiler shop. Where rigid censorship is needed is in the case of fish stories. Who was it that was inquiring about the "blessings of civilization?" To the naval vessels coal is as much a munition of war as powder. Anyhow, those European standing armies aren't standing any longer. Some men trust to luck; others to the good nature of their friends. Even the high filer has to come down when it comes to footing the bills. Some of the war poetry that is being written is almost as bad as the war itself. The foreign picture postcard market also has suffered some discouragement. Just now one man's guess as to how long the war will last is as good as another's.

Train and Track The French railway in Indo-China uses metal sleepers entirely. For handling freight cars at Cleveland a large railroad has installed electric locomotives which run on separate tracks and push the cars with side arms. An English railroad has built a machine operated by compressed air that loads two cars at once with steel rails or unloads them and places the rails ready for laying at a rate of four a minute. --- Phone: Douglas 3256 3030 State Street JESSE BINGA BANKER S.

King Louis of Bavaria claims lineal descent from the Stuarta. Prince Henry, inspector general of the German fleet, is the only brother of Emperor William. The king of the Belgians, though comparatively a young man—he is only thirty-nine years of age—is one of the most versatile monarchs in Europe. He has taken his degree as an electrical engineer and railroad engineer, and himself drew up the plans for a new railway between Antwerp and Brussels, superintending the work himself. According to one of the war aviators, they have to fly high in order to be safe. Yes, and then they are not disgustingly safe. For an implement definitely relegated to the military scrap heap by the experts the bayonet is doing an amazing amount of work during these days of blood and horror. In reckoning the cost of the war the figure "million" has been found pitifully inadequate. It's necessary to talk in billions. Next to the sweetness of having a friend whom you can trust is the convenience of having a friend who will trust you occasionally. Mark Hambourg, the famous Russian pianist, has sued the London Mail for libel for calling him a German. War makes strange lawsuits. --- HARRY J. KELLY Prop.

Carter of Boston pays $42,588 as her tax on personal property worth $2,433,500. Dr. Lillian Herald Soph, head of the Kentucky state bacteriological laboratory at Bowling Green, is said to be the only woman to hold the important position of state bacteriologist. Mrs. Amy D. Winship, who, at the age of eighty-three, completed a four years' course at the University of Wisconsin last June, says that she finds in study the best means of keeping young, and she has accordingly planned a three years' course in graduate work at various universities. Mile. De Seilligny, member of one of the foremost families in France, found two wounded soldiers in the ruins during the bombardment of Senlis. She got a donkey and cart, hoisted the wounded men into it unlaided and, de spite bursting shells, marched thirty miles beside the donkey to the nearest ambulance. State Lines. During the past fiscal year, July 1, 1913, to June 30, 1914, 57,762 acres of land in the national forests in California were listed to 510 applicants under the forest homestead laws. Texas, the largest of all the states in area and fifth in the number of inhabitants, ranks nineteenth in the value of its mineral production, according to the United States geological survey. In 1911 it ranked twenty-third. Illinois was third among the states of the Union in 1913 in the value of its mineral production. The state owes its prominence as a mining state chiefly to its importance as a producer of coal and petroleum and to the development of its clay working industries. PITH AND POINT. Nothing succeeds like being prepared for success. Diplomacy is the art of concealing our dislikes. Confession of weakness is the beginning of strength. To a large part of the populace it is a long time between baseball seasons. The impregnable fort, like the largest ocean steamer, now has to be started all over again. Unless you are nervous you can't realize how much noise there is in the so called busy world. Do not sit forever waiting for your ship to come in. Better dig a few clams along the shore. Reports from Europe to the effect that business is going on as usual must refer to the junk business. There are not going to be any rivers of doubt on the map of Europe after the great powers get through with it. What business needs to do just now is to make more things in the United States to bear the label "Made In the U. S. A." DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Mrs. Helen Speer of New York makes a business of installing children's playrooms in large hotels. Miss Margaret J. Tuke, principal of the Bedford College For Women in London, is an M. A. of Dublin university. Mrs. John D. Rockefeller is averse to publicity and is the least known of all the wives of world famous men. She was Laura Celestia Spellman, and she is now seventy-five years of age. Miss Annette Adams of San Francisco, who has been appointed assistant United States attorney in that city, was before her appointment a practicing attorney. She is a graduate of the State Normal school of California, of the State university and other institutions. Dr. Katharine B. Davis, commissioner of corrections of New York city, began her career of usefulness as a clubwoman and was a delegate from the Literary club of Dunkirk N. Y., to the first biennial of the General Federation of Women's Clubs when it met in New York city twenty-two years ago. Forest Notes. Six thousand bushels of lodgepole pine seed are being collected this fall on the Arapahoe national forest, Colorado, for use in reforestation work next spring. Officers of the Okanogan national forest, in the state of Washington, are installing powerful signal lanterns for night use in reporting forest fires from lookout peaks. The Philippine bureau of forestry has recently invited bids for the cutting of nearly 300,000 acres of choice timberland on the public forests on the island of Luzon. Flippant Flings. In order to escape being accused of lack of neutrality nowadays one must confine one's remarks to the mean annual rainfall.-Chicago News. Judging from the effect, those blue and white papers issued by the foreign chancelleries must have contained a seidlitz powder.-Cincinnati Enquirer. Housewives are blamed for the high cost of sugar, says an eastern paper. It's gradually getting around to the old man, where the blame for everything eventually lands.-Detroit Free Press. SHORT AND SHARP. Europe's race war puts all others to shame. The world is a cage in which humanity is tamed. There are not many waves of success on a sea of trouble. No man is so illiterate that he cannot teach others something. A truthful statement never needs to be backed up by a lot of lies. Some of the fellows who believe only half of what they hear always believe the wrong half. The "buy a bale of cotton" campaign has extended to Europe, but the demand is for gun cotton. With a few more years of war in Mexico the parceling out of the land won't find enough peons left to go round. Spain's offer to care for the wounded of other nations indicates she, at least, has no intention of departing from neutrality. It will be a long time before the rulers of some nations of Europe return to the custom of greeting their neighbor kings with kisses on each cheek. Thrifty Don'ts. Don't let false pride cost you money. There is no happiness in it. Don't forget that peace of mind is better than things you can't afford. Don't feel too sure you are getting the most possible out of your expenditures. Learn what "hard pan" really is. Don't forget spendthifts need to be capitalists. One can be a spendthift with a dollar as well as with large sums.—Pittsburgh Press. Town Topics. Baltimore has the celebration habit and is constantly improving with practice.—Baltimore American. If Chicago's Union station had stood where Rheims cathedral stood not so many persons would lament the consequences.—Chicago News. Boston's new $4,500,000 tunnel is only a little one, a mile and a half long, but it none the less adds to the Hub's prestige as subway constructor.—New York World. Four Wars. The Crimean war lasted 724 days and cost 485,000 lives and $1,525,000,000. The Boer war of 1899-1900 lasted 362 days and cost 90,898 lives and $1,000,000,000. The Franco-German war, 1870-1, lasted 405 days and cost 290,000 lives and $1,580,000,000. The Russo-Japanese war, 1904-5, lasted 576 days and cost 555,900 lives and $2,250,000,000.

Europe is gradually acquiring a brand new stock of battlefields for display purposes. Many a man is so public spirited that he tries to mind everybody's business but his own. The foundries in the European mon- archies are busy making decorations as well as big guns. Victory is sure to perch on the banner of the chap who never lets doubt creep into his heart. Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise on former geographical bound- aries of European countries. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` FRANK DUNN J. B. MoCAHEY TRUSTEES! FRANK DUNN J. W.
