CERMAK, ETIES FOR LOCAL SELF GOV ING SOME MIGHTY HOT SHOT TIVE OF CHICAGO. In every direction the politicians and the leading statesmen throughout the country are beginning to whip themselves into shape for the great political contest, or struggle in 1916, and Illinois will be the chief or the main battle ground which will be fought over inch by inch by the Democratic and the Republican hosts, for the Hon. Lawrence Y. Sherman has already begun to put forth his best efforts to secure the nomination for President of the United States and many clubs throughout the State have been and are being formed for the special purpose of advancing his candidacy and so far he is far in advance of all the other Republican candidates seeking that high honor or position. Senator Sherman has this to his credit and that is that he is not being fought by the followers of the Hon. Charles S. Deneen and they may be forced to stand solidly behind him in order to clip the political wings of the Hon. William Hale Thompson. It is also interesting to note that the Hon. James Hamilton Lewis has started his boom for the nomination for vice-president of the United States and it seems that the cards stacked for him to be the running mate of President Woodrow Wilson and the Sherman-Lewis, fifty-fifty clubs are springing up in all parts of this state, no one in this country is more capable of presenting to the voters in a forcible manner the things or the policies which are uppermost in the heart of President Wilson than Senator Lewis and as he can easily count his friends by the thousands in all parts of the United States, he will make a live vice-presidential candidate. The latter part of last week the sheriff of Murphysboro, Illinois, permitted well on to three or four thousand people including women and children to publicly witness the hanging of NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS Reported by the National Negro Busi ness League. A new bank known as the Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corporation has been opened at Savannah, Georgia. The Georgia Baptist, published at Augusta, Georgia, for thirty years by the late William J.

It is said that the people for many miles around that town made a regular holiday of the affair which should have been very revolting to all those who claim to be fully or half way civilized. Yesterday sheriff White fully intended to pull off the same public show or holiday at the hanging of Elston Scott who is also a Colored man, at that point Governor Edward F. Dunne decided to take a hand in the hanging and as the sheriff failed to inform him just how many people he intended to permit to witness the hanging, Governor Dunne on Tuesday granted a reprieve to Scott for thirty days. It is not possible under the law for Governor Dunne to remove sheriff White for his reprehensible conduct but at the same time Governor Dunne whose heart is in the right place deserves to be highly commended for turning his manly back against the spirit of mob and lynch law in Illinois. "Big Bill" Mayor William Hale Thompson, who was accompanied with his retainers and shouters, struck this big town on Tuesday morning with his presidential boom and from now on the rallying up of his friends and followers will be on to the White House in 1916. Not many of his former friends among the saloon men were on hand to greet or to extend the glad hand of welcome to him when his special train pulled in at the railway station. Shortly after landing in town he started in to make the fur fly in every direction and most of the time he has been engaged in a battle through the columns of the newspapers with A. J. Cermak, secretary of the United Societies for Local self government and Mr. Cermak has been throwing or pumping some mighty hot shots into the sides of the present chief executive of Chicago. courage more Colored people to patronize Colored business enterprises. At the last meeting of the National Baptist Convention which was held in Chicago, September 6th to 11th, an automobile was presented to Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. This was the gift of admiring friends in all parts of the country. The Star of Ethiopia, a historical pageant, written by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois of New York City, was presented to large audiences at Washington, D. C., on the evenings of October 11th, 13th and 15th. N. C.

Buck of Galveston, Texas, a Colored representative of the American National Insurance Company has been awarded a free trip to the Panama-Pacific Exposition for writing the most insurance in his district. At the recent El Paso County Fair held at Callahan, Colorado, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Hopper were awarded first prize for the best oats, hay and potatoes exhibited. They were the only Colored people to enter the contests. Thomas J. Pillow is regularly employed as demonstrator for the Western Motor Car Company of Los Angeles, California. His picture was shown in the last issue of "Motor" showing him with a group of representatives sent out by the California Automobile Club to mark the western end of the trans-continental highway. The Royal Life Insurance Company of Chicago, Illinois, has inaugurated a department for Colored people with Frank L. Gillespie of Chicago as superintendent. In addition to giving him this responsible position, the officers of the company presented him with a gold watch as a token of appreciation for his long and faithful service with them. JEWS STAND BY THEIR COLORED GUEST. San Francisco, Oct. 19, Special to The Broad Ax.—Clay Ford, the tailor, 1318 Volenia street, and his wife, were invited to an entertainment given by a Jewish society today in the hall at Van Ness avenue and Sutter street, but the proprietor of the hall, a Southern White man, attempted to force them to leave the building, giving as his reason: "I am a southerner and have lived among your people. They have several times tried to rent my hall and I refused because I did not intend for any of them to stand on this floor." Mr. and Mrs. Ford had been cordially received by their hosts, and more than two hundred Jews present had shown every sign of friendliness. After they had participated in several dances, the southerner, who is the proprietor, approached them and said to Mr. Ford, "Here is a dollar; you and your wife leave the hall." Mr. Ford refused to accept the dollar and immediately went to the manager of the entertainment. The manager said to the owner: "That man has a card of invitation and he is as good as you are," and Mr. and Mrs. Ford remained to the end of the entertainment. THE DOUGLASS MUSICAL RECITAL UNDER THE DIRECTION OF PROF. B. EMMANUEL JOHNSON WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. Monday evening, Joseph H. Douglass of Washington, D.

First: The Jews believed in many gods and must have worshiped them since they believed they (all the gods) created man. Second: Later they made Jehovah their tribal god and while he was intensely jealous of the others—the gods of other tribes—the people respected them and, in spite of any vote from Jehovah, had a law to the effect that the people should not revile the gods. (Ex. 22:28). This was a sensible law, for in the event of Jehovah's turning his back on the Jews, they had some of the other gods to fall back on, which they often did. Third: Lastly the Jews came to absolutely repudiate all the gods except Jehovah and become absolute monotheists. All this forward movement was brought through infidelity to former divine authority; but it was not good for the people in every way, as it gave Jehovah too much authority, making him an absolute monarch. During the conflicts between the gods the people had better opportunity to use their own brains; they could see that the gods could not altogether be depended upon. They could not altogether be infallible. Infallibility is the end of progress. When one gets perfect information he seeks no farther; he is in the condition of the fellow who thinks he knows it all. It gives him the big head and degrades his intellect. The fool has some chance, but the one who can't make a mistake in hopeless. But on the other hand— One change impells another change and forces the people to think; thinking is dangerous to divine authority. First stand. We, the Jews, love all men because they, as well as we, being created by all the gods, are our brothers. Second. We, the Jews, are indifferent in love to those not Jews, because they are not the children of Jehovah, while we are his chosen people. Third. This indifference in love for others gradually grows into hatred and savagery. "Thou shalt destroy them and leave nothing alive that breatheth."—Jehovah. Fourth. The wisest of Israel, some sears and prophets—for some had the good of the people at heart—could see that if one god created all he was the father of all and all were brethren. This was a beautiful doctrine, but it was infidelity. It would not be tolerated one moment by the people. The sears dare not undertake to put this doctrine into practice, but they could tell the people what Jehovah was planning on doing in the future, even though different from what he ever had done. But they dare not undertake to establish changes in present customs fixed by divinity, possible fearing they might be stoned to death should they even venture such predictions they could interpolate them in writings of some former prophet already dead who had since death, if not before, become popular. "And it shall come to pass" that * * "The Lord's house shall be established * * and all nations shall flow unto thee." -Isa. 2:2, 3. No. 5 This gave a start and later prophets added here and there until a new doctrine sprang up in Israel, but it appears that it never was universally accepted. But more anon.—A. A.

Last Friday evening, the second Anniversary of the Louise Training School for Colored Boys was held at the home, 6130 Ada street. William E. Mooney, Rev. Wilson and Dr. Daniel H. Williams were among the speakers. Aside from the silver offering, $24.50 was lifted, which is to be expended in buying a new washing machine. Mrs. Elizabeth McDonald, founder and superintendent of the home, read her annual report for the year which was well received. On Tuesday evening of the present week, at the meeting of the Trustees, Rev. C. Lee Jefferson, William O. La Monte and L. O. Phillips were elected Trustees for three years and Mrs. Morris Cummings were elected for the same length of time to succeed Mrs. E. J. Jenkinson, Will T. Davies was re-elected President for another year. William F. Harra, the new Sergeant-At-Arms of the City Council is the right man in the right place. He is very affable at all times and he is extremely popular with all the city dades and with all others who frequent the council committee rooms as well as the council chamber. PAGE TWO STABLE GOVERNMENT NEED OF MEXICO Recognition of Carranza Fans Hope of Peace. President Wilson having given formal sanction to the plan of the Pan-American conference to extend recognition to the Carranza government in Mexico, it is expected that all other American republics will take the same action. It is also understood that the European nations will follow the lead of the United States. Great Britain and France, it is known, have intimated that this would be their policy, and it is believed that Germany and Italy will do likewise. Carranza has guaranteed that the lives and property of aliens will be respected in accordance with the prac M. B. B. Photos by American Press Association.

General "Pancho" Villa is still keeping up his fight against Carranza, although many of Villa's supporters have announced their determination to hold aloof from any guerrilla warfare. It remains to be seen whether Carranza has the strength, physical and moral, to control the situation and to overcome his foes. Mexico is in a terrible condition because of civil strife and is dreadfully in need of stable government. DREYFUS COMMANDS FORT. Hero of Spy Trial, He Volunteered For War. Alfred Dreyfus, who was the hero of the spy trials that split France into bitter factions several years ago, is now commanding one of the forts surrounding Paris. Dreyfus, who was a captain of artillery when he was convicted of having sold to Germany plans of a new French gun, was promoted to the rank of commandant (major) after his retrial and acquittal. He holds the same rank [Image of a man with a bald head, a mustache, and a suit with a tie]. MAJOR ALFRED DENEFFU. now. Though he is fifty-four years old, Dreyfus volunteered his services at the outbreak of the war. The restoration of Major Dreyfus to active command in the French army at this time, when his country is at war with her arch enemy, must be looked upon as the most complete vindication of the French artillery officer from the charge that at one time he sold secrets to Germany. SIRES AND SONS W. L. Douglas, former governor of Massachusetts, is now seventy years old. Robert Tuttle Morris, who claims that microbes are working out the destiny of each human being and so the destiny of the world, has been professor of surgery of the New York Postgraduate medical college since 1898.

General Friedrich A. J. von Bernhardl, one of the best known military writers of Germany, has been assigned to a field command at his own request. Before going to the front he served as commander of the Fiftieth army corps, which consists of home units. Admiral LI of the Chinese navy is a Christian, and his firm adherence to his principles has of late months made his official life unpleasant.

SUFFRAGE WORK IN NEW YORK State Has a Million Suffra-gists, Says Mrs. Catt. BY CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT. WHEN our campaign opened two years ago we investigated first of all the causes of opposition to woman suffrage. We found that our opponents had certain claims upon which they based their opposition. They are still standing by those claims and have never varied them much during the two years. They are, first, women do not want to vote; second, woman suffrage in operation in twelve western states has not brought good results. We therefore set out to answer these two chief objections as best we could. We urged the women in villages, towns and cities to canvass among women and to learn how they regarded the proposal to give them a vote. In all the campaigns to enfranchise men there has never been any phase which has illustrated devotion to a principle so clearly as this canvass of the women. They have taken their baby carriages and gone out of an afternoon, stopping house by house to make their queries. They have done their housework and washed their dinner dishes and gone out for the two or three hours in the afternoon they have for rest. They have gone without dinner in the cities in order to go to the homes of the great masses of women who are only to be found at home in the evening. While New York state has not been canvassed to the last man or woman, we are yet in a position to know that a very conservative estimate of the number of women who want to vote in the state of New York and who will avail themselves of that privilege as soon as it is granted is not less than 1,000,000. The largest number of men registered in this state at any one election was 1,764,352. Upon the supposition that the number of women eligible to vote would be about the same, it is A. E. © Underwood & Underwood, New York. MRS. CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT. clearly manifest that a good deal more than a majority are counted in the million women who want to vote. At no time in the history of man suffrage and in no country has there been so universal a demand for the vote as among the women of New York. We note that our opponents, despite the demonstration which they themselves must have found among women, are hammering away at the old objection. To answer the second objection we secured long ago the testimony of every governor of an enfranchised state and from many other men who hold positions which would make their word of value. To complete the testimony we have invited prominent men from suffrage states to come to New York during the month of October and upon the platform of 150 mass meetings to give their testimony as to suffrage in actual operation. As soon as we win we shall reorganize for the purpose of training the women in the new duties of citizenship which will come to them, and we shall maintain our nonpartisanship in that work. We shall not teach women why they should be Democrats or Republicans or why they should belong to one of the other parties. We shall merely teach them the functions of citizenship, the object of our government, the duties of various political officers, and we shall teach them something of American history, and that history will be certain to include a phase not now taught in the public schools, and that is the evolution of woman suffrage in America. We shall teach them the sacredness of the ballot. We shall teach them that to sell a vote or to buy a vote or to get a vote by any dishonest means is a moral crime second to none in the Decalogue. We shall teach women to read the newspapers about all political matters and to learn how to sift and balance and judge whether statements are neutral or of political bias. We shall hold civic schools all over the state of New York for this purpose. The flaw in the operation of man suffrage is that men are nowhere taught the sacredness of a vote, the patriotic service it means. Men ought to regard election day and the vote they cast as the hooliest and most religious service they ever perform. This is not taught them. We mean that it shall be taught to women, and to men too. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Mile, Marie Marvingt of France is considered the greatest female athlete in the world. The New Mexico Medical society has elected for its president Dr. Evelyn Frisleyn of Albuquerque. This is the first time in its history that the society has elected a woman president. Mme. Caillaux, the French pre-mier's wife, who was acquitted of the charge of murdering M. Calmette, is now in command of a nursing corps at the rear of the main French army. Lady Scott, the widow of the explorer, is a keen motorist and a first rate driver. She is now driving a Red Cross car at the Anglo-French hospital near Chaumont, in the Marne canton. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the first woman in this country to receive the degrees of D. D. and M. D., is now in her sixty-eighth year, vigorous and forceful. She was brought to this country from England at the age of four years by her parents. Miss L.

It's almost as bad to say mean things as it is to do them. A grudge nursed in secret will poison the system of any person. Fighting the hookworm ought to displace fighting human beings. It is difficult to convince the head of the house that two heads are better than one. War is expensive without holding any respectable status either as a necessity or a luxury. The imprudent man reflects on what he has said and the prudent man on what he is going to say. It is human nature to want more. The minute a man is able to live comfortably he isn't satisfied to live that way. With the human voice carrying from Washington to San Francisco there'll be no escaping the siren tones of our leading orators. It is estimated that $750,000,000 a year is spent on education in this country. But you might not think so from the way some people act and talk. A New York apartment house announces choice flats at $30,000 a year. Just think of having to pay 5 per cent on a capital of $600,000, or about $2 a day, for house rent. Horses must go, declares Edison. But if he can invent a way to make one go which is constitutionally inclined to balk the world will be ready to spell wizard with a capital W for the rest of time. Animal Oddities. When elephants are in the vicinity of tigers they beat their trunks on the ground. If a chimpanzee is wounded it stops the bleeding by placing its hand on the wound or dressing it with leaves and grass. Ants have the faculty of crossing water by means of the surface tension of the liquid, but they resort to it only under great pressure. The teeth of the badger are very peculiar, for instead of resting on each other when the animal's mouth is closed they fit into each other. Wild pigeons are known to be the most voracious eaters of the animal kingdom in proportion to their size. One consumed a thousand grains of wheat in a day. Short Stories. Soda water siphons are filled through the spout. Men have a stronger sense of taste than women. Saws were first fashioned in imitation of the jawbone of a snake. Some machine guns have a firing power of over a thousand shots a minute. The size and value of the coconut industry in Ceylon may be gauged when it is considered that fully 60,000,000 coconut trees are under cultivation. Turkey's remaining territory in Europe is 9,910 square miles, about as much as Delaware and New Jersey combined. The population is 2,348,000. FRENCH WAR DOGS BRAVE SENTINELS Also Valuable as Scouts and Dispatch Bearers. "I have already three sons and a son-in-law with the colors; now I give my dog—and vive la France!" wrote one father when offering his dog. What that means one may not know until the real service dogs are rendering the tricolor in this war is told. When the story of the war is written the world may hear of canine herds as brave as the men in uniform. France has three classes of dogs at the front, patrol dogs, linking dogs and ambulance dogs. The first class are always of the sheep dog breed, chiefly from Picardy or Flanders. The sheep dog's sense of smell is wonderful. He ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. FRENCH WAR DOGS. easily detects the presence of an enemy a hundred or even a hundred and fifty yards away. The training of the dog for sentinel and patrol work, when he is always accompanied by soldiers, is simple and speedy. Of course there is, first of all, a selection of specially intelligent dogs, but when the dogs selected have been sent to the front it requires only four nights' teaching to make them fit for their work. The chief difficulty is to make them learn not to bark, but only growl. Violence is never used; a tap or two on the head is enough when they start barking. The training of dogs for linking purposes—that is, for keeping two bodies of soldiers in touch with each other—requires two months. The course for an ambulance dog is nearly a year. The ambulance dog, unlike the patrol or linking dog, must be taught to bark so as to give notice to the battlefield searchers when he has found a wounded man. The patrol or sentinel dog works only at night. During the day he stays in the trenches with the men, most of his time asleep. Then when night descends he leaps with the patrol or listening party out of the trenches and passes the hours till dawn in the perilous work of patrolling the 400 or 500 yards of front the party is assigned to cover. Thanks to him, the party is insured against surprise by an enemy patrol. KUROPATKIN REINSTATED. Former Generalissimo In Manchuria is Appointed to Command Corps. General Alexei Kuropatkin has been appointed chief of the Russian grenade corps. This shows a remarkable reversal of opinion in Russia regarding [Name] GENERAL ALKKEI KUROPATKIN. a military leader who was disgraced because of Russian defeats in the war with Japan. After the defeat at Mukden and the retreat of the entire Russian army to Tieling Kuropatkin resigned the command to General Linevitch, taking the latter's place at the head of one of the three armies in Manchuria. He was later retired from the army in disgrace. General Kuropatkin was born in 1848 and entered the army at the age of sixteen. In the war of 1877-8 against Turkey he earned a great reputation. In 1882, at the age of thirty-four, he was made a major general and eight years later a Heutenian general. SHORT AND SHARP. As the soldiers burrow the warring nations borrow. It's still an open fight in Europe, and anybody can get in. Advice is cheap because there is so little demand for it. It's easy for the man who never suffered pain to talk of patience. If a home conscience fund were established, how it would help our family expenses! One naturally wonders what effect a sudden treaty of peace would have on a floating mine. If this wild war stock gambling keeps up there'll be a lot of killed and wounded in Wall street. Next summer the outdoor lecturer is in danger of being crowded off the platform by the campaign spellbinder. War is said to be popularizing whiskers, but it is really an exorbitant price to pay for re-establishing facial foliage. Habit is something which the person who has it strongest imagines he could break at any time if he wanted to, but never does. Mr. Edison rises to remark that the naval advisory board does not invent; it merely advises. Inventions are not made to order. The people in Europe are for peace, declares an American suffragist returning. And an increasingly large number of men are finding it. Albeit in rather a querulous spirit, John Bull admits once again that in the making of a bargain Brother Jonathan is there with "the bells on." The Royal Box. Four out of the last nine czars of Russia have been assassinated. Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria was crowned emperor of Austria in 1848, when eighteen years old, and has reigned as such for sixty-seven years. When what is called the dual constitution was adopted in 1867 he became king of Hungary. Prince Leopold of Bavaria, the man who, technically at least, captured Warsaw, is a veteran in military experience. His military education was received in the Austro-Hungarian army before Bavaria became a part of Germany. He took a prominent part in the Austro-Prussian Italian war of 1866. He fought entirely through that war and came off without a scratch. The Writers. William Dean Howells, the novelist and editor, as a boy set type in his father's newspaper office. Boccacello, Byron, Dante, Dickens, Dr. Johnson, Lytton, Moliere, Shakespeare and Socrates all made unhappy marriages. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been intrusted by England with the writing of the official history of the war, a task which will occupy his energies for some years. Charles E.

Colonel L. Baldwin, the engi: neer, removed the first turf Sept. 10, 1794. ‘The capal was thirty feet wide and four feet deep, bad twenty locks, seven agueducts and fifty bridges. The route was from the Merrimac river, near what is now Middlesex village, through the Billerica and Concord riv- ers to the Shawsheen river, through Wilmington and Woburn to the Mystic river and through Medford to Charles- town. Until 1836 the canal flourished, but with the building of the Lowell and Boston and the Lowell and Nashua railroads about two-thirds of the busi- ness of the canal was diverted to the railroads, and the canal never paid aft- erward. It was built for $130,000, but in 1859 the supreme court of Massa- chusetts issued a decree declaring the franchise forfeited through disuse. Tbe ruins of the locks and aqueducts are still to be seen along the route. Crab Locomotives, ‘The queerest locomotives are the types used in mining and called “crabs.” Gliding into the black gal leries of coal mines and halting at a crevice in the wall from which issues the distant ring of pick and shovel, the crab lets out a flexible tentacle (a steel cable) for perhaps 200 or 800 feet, drawing it back presently with a car of coal in tow. Feeling into the holes, first on one side, then on the other, it moves along and never fails to secure its prey. Finally, with a. dozen or more cars in its wake, it proceeds to the shaft or outlet and delivers its booty to the crusher. ‘These crabs operate by trolley con- ductors. They run through the main passages of the mine. Each crab is furnished with an electrically operat- ed drum, on which are carried 200 or 300 feet of steel cable. This is hauled into the side passages or drifts by a man who couples the end to a loaded car, then gives a signal, and the crab does the rest.—George Frederick Stratton in St. Nicholas. Tubular Chimes. Tubes instead of bells for chimes came into use in England half a cen- tury ago for three reasons—they have a mellower, more musical tone; they take up much less space than bells, and they weigh much less. The sub- ject of tubular chimes has all the in- terest that pertains to bells generally. In making a bell the most expert founder cannot predetermine with ex- actitude the tone of the bell. General- ly bells and tubes have to undergo nice modifications after they are finished, and it is much easier to alter the tube delicately to get just the pitch and tone quality sought than to modify the bell. Tubular chimes used in tower clocks, organs and elsewhere are fundamen- tally identical with the dangling gold tubes upon which the gifted vaudeville performer plays “Home, Sweet Home.” —New York Sun. Soler Heat. M. A. Veronnet has attempted to cal- culate the time the sun's activity could be maintained by (1) chemical action, @) intra-atomic energy (radium) and @) the work of gravitational contraction. For the first he gets 2,000 years, for the second only 170 years, while for the third he finds that gravitational con- traction, according to the well known theory of Helmholtz, would account for several millions of years of solar heat, as demanded by the geological record. ‘The fall of meteorites into the sun could account, at most, for only the four hundredth part of the sun's heat.

Many kinds of the smokeless variety have come and gone, and from the elimination of ‘the un- fittest the nitrocellulose and the nitro- glycerin powders have survived. ‘The nitrocellulose type is used by the United States army and navy, by the French and German army. Nitro- glycerin is used by the British army and navy and by the German navy. ‘The principal ingredient in both kinds of powder is guncotton. ‘The smokeless powder needed by the United States army and navy is in part manufactured by government plants and in part purchased from private manufacturers. The smokeless powder 4s made at all plants, both government and private, in accordance with speci- fications prepared by a joint board of army and navy officers.

A young man was sitting in a bar ber’s shop looking at a magazine when an old farmer, with little knowledge or appreciation of literary people, stepped up behind his chair and looked over his shoulder: “Who's them?” he inquired, pointing to a group of portraits. “Well known authors and play- wrights,” was the reply. “Humph!” ejaculated the farmer con- temptuously. “Jist writin’ fellers, eh?” Then he caught sight of an author with a long, solemn face, and his eyes sparkled. “That's the one I like,” he said, with decision, putting his finger on the writer’s mournful countenance. “Oh, yes; nearly every one likes him!” agreed the young man. “His humorous writings are”— “Don't know nothing ‘bout his writ- tm’, but I like his face.” “Why 207” “Cause he's the only feller that looks like he was sorry for what he'd Gone.”"—Chicago Herald. Bic Trees. People generally associate ideas of the California big trees with the Mari- posa grove, near the Yosemite, and yet it appears that there are in the Se quoia National park 1,168,000 trees, 12,- 100 of which exceed ten feet in diame- ter. Some idea of the immensity of one of these big trees can be gathered from the statement that “3,000 fenceposts, sufficient to support a wire fence around 8,000 or 9,000 acres, have been made from one of these giants, and that was only the first step toward us- ing its huge carcass, Six hundred and fifty thousand shingles, enough to cov- er the roofs of seventy or eighty houses, formed the second item of its product. Finally, there still remained hundreds of cords of firewood which no one could use because of the pro- hibitive expense of hauling the wood out of the mountains.”—Manufacturers’ Record. oO Bieecerstiie tin. ‘The most memorable ride in English history was that of Sir Arthur Owen. which placed the Hanoverian dynasty on the throne of Great Britain. The act of settlement by which in 1701 parliament elected the house of Han- over to the British throne was passed by only one vote, and this casting vote was given by Sir Arthur Owen, the member of parliament for Pembroke- shire. He arrived at Westminster, dusty and travel worn, only just in time to record his vote, having ridden with furious haste from Wales for the purpose on relays of horses kept at all the posting houses along the route. To that ride Britain owes its Georgian era; hence its Queen Victoria and her descendants. Home of Musical Fish. Lake Batticaloa, Ceylon, has the probably unique distinction of being the home of musical fish. The sounds emitted by these are said to be as sweet and melodious as those which would be produced by a series of aeo- Man harps.

Leeses From Consumption. The ecenomic loss due to tubercu- losis is stupendous. Some years ago I made a careful estimate and was as- tonished to find that, counting the earnings lost, the cost of medical at- tendance and nursing, special foods, institutional care and, above all, the capitalized value of the lives cut off in their prime (for tuberculosis kills at thirty or thirty-five), the total annual cost in this country alone from tuber- culosis is over a billion of dollars. This is merely the cold cash cost and takes no account, of course, of sentimental or emotional losses from the death of loved ones.—Good Health.

For a time this skull attracted Much attention not only from the pe Ble in California, but from scientific men the world over. It was reported to have been found in 1886 near the town of Angels, Calaveras county, at a depth of 130 feet, in tertiary grav- els underlying tertiary lava. The find- ing of a human skull embedded in such deposits was for a time believed to indicate that man had been in exist- ence in North America longer than had been supposed. Strange to say, the skull is of a higher type than skulls which, although known to antedate his- toric times, are known also to be much younger than the tertiary. Although Professor J. D. Whitney, then state geologist, accepted the skull as a bit of genuine scientific evidence, it is gen- erally believed by students of the an- tiquity of man that the Calaveras skull, while undoubtedly old, probably did not come from the auriferous gravels at all.—Argonaut. tn Goan Once the capital of the kingdom of Portugal, Coimbra possesses a number of interesting monuments.

Squarely seated upon its plat- form, its walls pierced only by narrow windows that resemble loopholes, its roofs and parapets embattled, it recalls the day when praying and fighting went hand in hand, and its rough hewn stones sheathe it as in a bronze cutrass chased with the delicate tracery of its south door added ata later epoch. Its interior, too, is severely plain, though adorned with the only fine rere- dos that I saw in Portugal, and with side chapels that contain a notable ar- ray of old blue tiles—Ernest Peixotto in Scribner's. Hidine Behind Smoke. ‘The accuracy of modern naval gun- nery 1s so marvelous that the only hope for a ship to escape being sunk when within range of the guns is to hide itself. That 1s easier said than done, however, and there is only one way in which it can be done, and that is by means of a “smoke screen.” It fs hard for one ship to hide herself behind her own smoke unless the wind 4s favorable, but for a number of ships te put a huge fog of black smoke be- tween them and thelr pursuers is com- paratively easy. ‘The smoke is caused by oll fuel, and it can be turned off or on at will by supplying more or less air to the furnaces. It is so dense and black that it 1s quite tmpossibie to see more than a few yards through it— Pearson’s Magazine. inal aa i Falconry, or hawking, was a favorite sport with the nobility and gentry of Europe down to the first half of the seventeenth century. Hawks were trained to mount and pursue game and bring it to their masters and mistresses, coming and going to the call of the latter with marvelous docility. ‘The hawks were tricked out with gay hoods and held until ordered to pursue the quarry, or game, by leathern straps fastened with rings of leather about each leg just above the talons, and with silken cords called “Jesses” to each of these leathern straps, or “be- wets,” was attached a small bell. In the flight of hawks it was often so arranged that the bells made “a con- sort of sweet sounds.” Still Has Friends. ‘Two retired tradesmen residing in the country were discussing matters generally, when one asked: “How is your son doing in the city?” “Oh. he doesn't say much about his business.” was the reply, “but be writes me that he’s got a lot of friends!” “Phat's very encouraging,” remarked the other, “for it shows that he hasn't had to borrow money yet!”—Pearson’s Weekly. ‘a email Shahid Teck. “Does your boy take kindly to farm Ife now that he bas finished college?” “Oh, yes!" replied Farmer Cobbles. “He says that after the strenuous four years he's been through it's a pleasure ‘to loaf around Lome and watch the hired men at work. ”—Birmingbam Age ‘Herald.

Early Coai D.scoveries. The first meution of coal in the ter- ritory which afterward became the United States bas Leretofore been cred- credited to Father Louis Hennepin, who showed on a map’ publisbed in 1689 the location of a “cole mine” along Ulinols river near the site of the pres- ent city of Ottawa. According to S. 0. Andres of the Illinois state geological survey. the credit for this frst mention of coal does not belong to Hennepin, as the discovery of coal in the Unitea States by Europeans was made by Joliet and Marquette in 1673. How- ever, nearly a century and a half elapsed after the discovery of coal in Lilinois before mining began. The Journal of the Franklin Institute for 1836 states that the first mining op- erations conducted by white men were at the Mount Carbon mines, in Jack- son county, Ill. These mines were opened in 1810 and worked to a small extent for many years. The earliest recorded production was in 1833. when 6,000 tons of coal is said to have been mined.—Detrolt Free Press. ‘A Kindly Human Touch.

Parts of the earth seem detached and set afloat. Ships are visible, upside down, in the sky; objects lying behind hills are beheld apparently lfted above them; lakes of gleaming water, sur- rounded by palm trees and refreshing vegetation, spring into view in the midst of sandy deserts; unknown cities, with towers and pinnacles, make thelr appearance suspended in the air; aerial animals appear, browsing in illusory pastures; processions of men and horses are seen, marching or galloping where no foot has ever trod—such are some of the recorded marvels that the mirage has produced.—New York Jour nal. ienaiee ein In the vicinity of Mayagtz, Porto Rico, are several historically interest- ing places.

To escape it, don’t hibernate—ventil- ate. And don’t dissipate. ‘When the windows go down the death rate from the bad air diseases goes up. Fresh air, sunshine and a cheerful disposition are good tonics; no drug store sells them. Chew your food until you can taste it, Thorough mastication is both a pleasing and important part of right eating. If you are not hungry, don’t eat. ‘When appetite calls, eat. Few people in this land die from starvation, but thousands dio every year from over- eating. Dirt and filth accumulate all the time; and if neglected soon become ugly, unsightly and dangerous. Cleanli- ness and beauty can only be maintained. by constant vigilance and labor. . It pays to have clean, attractive sur- roundings. It pays in dollars and cents for the rehson that a tidy and well- kept property will sell for more money than will the property that is dirty, untidy and neglected. It pays in com- fort and satisfaction; in pride, joy and self-respect. Eyesight is one of the most precious of human possessions.

GRAND-DAUGHTER OF ONCE SLAV- ERY FOE. BECOMES BRIDE Miss Myra Bradwell Helmer was married Thursday evening to Dr. J. Stewart Pritchard, of Ontario, Canada. ‘The nuptial serviee, elegantly exelu- sive and very rich in its setting of palms and chrysanthemums, took place in the gold and white ball room of the Virginia Hotel. Dr. William P. Merrill, cousin of the bride and pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York officiated. Only the relatives and a few im- mediate friends witnessed the cere- mony; but there was an aftermath of gayety in the elaborate supper fol- lowed by a series of dancing numbers in whieh 400 guests participated. Gifts came to this pretty bride from every point of the compass. The sur- passing feature of the wedding presents was a large piece of marble statuary, “The Slave,” from a distant relative in the East, whose father was a friend st the bride’s late maternal grand- father, Judge Bradwell, of Chicago, whose name has gone down in history for the stand he always took on the question of slavery. The Judge, too, was a close friend of President Lineoln and it was from Mrs. Lincoln he received an autograph letter of the martyr President on his definition of Democracy. The missive had come into the possession of an acquaintance of Judge Bradwell and after a sort of “endless chain’? trip, the valuable lost letter came to light and was ‘bowed’? with a piece of white ribbon to “The Slave’? gift for the bride. It reads: “<To Judge Bradwell, Chieago, DL: “As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of Democracy. Whatever differs from this to the extent of. the difference, is no Democracy. A. LINCOLN.”” | ‘The bride’s grandfather, James B. ‘Bradwell went down in history by per- sonal views expressed on African slav- ery in the South. In 1861 he was elected County Judge of Cook County and it was while in that capacity he decided one very important question presented in his Court; and that was the question whether a marriage made during slavery between ‘slaves was valid upon emancipation. He ex- pressed himself in a way that was characteristic. He said: “Were there a thousand of these decisions made un- der this influence in favor of slavery and against the conclusions I have come to in this ease I would brush them aside as I would a spider’s web and decide this ease upon what I consider to be the first principles of law, jus- tiee and humanity.’? The Bradwell’s have always ea friendly to the Colored people, the head of that name which will continue to be written on the pages of the history of the State of Illinois for many years to come, Judge James B, Bradwell, was the head and the front of the un- der ground railway station in this see- tion of the country and many a run- away slave owed his liberty to him, THE GRAND SYMPHONY ORCHES.

W. SAMPSON BROOKS HEADS THE DELEGATION FROM MISSOURI TO THE GENERAL A. M. E. CONFERENCE IN 1916. REV. E. C. MORRIS, WHO WOULD LIKE TO HOLD ON FOR LIFE AS PRES- IDENT OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION, GIVEN A SLIGHT DIG IN THE RIBS. os 100m, Sass Se own oe take my pen in hand, I have in my Possession one first-class ticket t Nashville, Tenn. so before you cat read this letter I will have had the new experience of riding in the Jim Crow car. I thought that my lette this week would continue it, but 1 will be so far from the office, until 1 think it best to say a few things this week and then next week send you 1 letter from Nashville. Last week I intimated to you that there was a conference, here, but failed to say that the Baptist had a big eon vention here at the same time, so ] just went from one to the other look ing to see what I could see and how I could see it. Now I don’t know how to report three meetings at the same time, although I saw Charles Stewart doing it, and how he accom plished it I don’t know, but I have made up my mind that I am going tc lay him in the shade when it comes to this reporting business. We have some trained young peo ple who are willing to help. They got education in their heads, and are wil ling for it to come out for use. Among this number I met Miss Beatrice Dyson, of Quiney, I, a young woman of ability and training. She was willing to assist me in getting information, and she just got so much information on these things, that I did not know what to do and how to do it. I don’t know how to put it together. It is hard for a man to say he don’t know a thing, but no man ¢an come right off the farm and go into a newspaper office and be a star reporter, but I hope to be able to arrange anything this time next year. Miss Dyson has the proper training because she took so much patience with me. She had the patience of Job, and that is having some believe me. I feel like just putting all this matter in‘ letter and sending it to you. As I told you Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, one of the next bishops was entertaining the conference, but it will be over when you read this letter. They did not fail to entertain these people. I was so delighted to have the pleasure of seeing her and talking with her, and by this I mean the queen of the parsonage, Mrs. Brooks. Every Jay was full of interest. Mrs. H. B. Parks has made some friends on her rounds, and the women look up to her as their leader. She is the wife of Bishop Parks, and they all love her for her intellectual and spiritual worth: She will leave for home from here, and when she gets home her Chicago friends will be de- lighted to see her. ‘The Baptist convention was just like shat one in Kansas. It met in the Tabernacle Baptist church of which the Rev. Dr. S. A. Mosely is pastor. Dr. Mosely is one of the leading preachers yf the country in the Baptist church. [ learned that he came from Arkansas where he has been in some big charges, und where he has made the world know that he belonged to it He is a man yvery inch of it. They highly enter- ained the conference. Not a confer- snce but convention. : I had the pleasure of meeting one Shieago preacher, the Rev. Dr. Wm. aray, re ‘this rh of the spoke of Bev. J. F. rorid. He spoke of Rev. J. F. Thomas, in Chicago. So much for that. I met Dr. J. H. Garnett, president of the Western college, Macon, Mo., a fine man, Speaking of educators, I would like very much to be a man full of rea) education that I could be a college president. I imagine that I would make a good one and the whole world would be flocking to get in my school. If it is not too late, I will go to schoo! after I get through writing for the paper, and get me just a little more education and become a college presi- dent or professor. The Rev. Dr. J. M. Booker, 2 preacher from Kansas City, was much in evidence during the session of the convention. He has a preacher from the villes of preachers, and he knows his business. He has erected a church and in doing so he has erected a mont- ment for himself, I am sure a man can do this if he desires to do so. Going in the Baptist church on Sun- day, I saw a man who looked like I had seen him before some where. Pret- ty soon he was introduced to us. It was Rev. E. 0. Morris, D. D., presi- dent of the National Baptist Conven- tion. I remember of seeing him. He was making an address when the depu- ty sheriff served a paper of some kind on him. I think they called it an “‘interjunction,’? or some such name. It stopped his mouth at any rate, and they had to go before Judge F. A. Smith and get straight. I think Judge Smith ‘resolved’? it or he made it so that Dr. Morris could finish his address and hear reports. This paper was ‘signed by Rev. E. P. Jones, Dr. R. H. Boyd, and another whose name I do ‘not remember. _ Dr. Morris made a great big speech here in St. Louis, but did not air the ‘Chicago trouble, but went on trying to lift up the people and teach them right and duty along practical lines. He realizes the thing to do is to teach cs people love and not hatred. ‘The women had their convention, too, ‘and it was presided over by Mrs. M. Re Goins, of Jefferson City, Mo, and she is some woman, and some presid- ing officer. Mrs. C. R. McDowell is ‘to be found right by her side, and then there were other women. Timo will not Permit me to tell you about all of them ‘so I am not going to try, but they were there. __ I met Mrs. Rosa Gipson, of Pleasant Hill, Mrs, A. J. Abington, of Clarks- ville, Mrs. Cora Hackney, of St. Joseph, and a host of others, Perhaps I have said enough to you for this time. You may look for an- other letter from me. Conference is just about to close now, and the ministers will be assigned by Bishop Parks. Ho is just a big man and a good man at that, and I am delighted to know him. They clected delegates to general conference. Those who were elected were: Revs. W. Sampson Brooks, J. D. Barksdale, A. A. Gilbert and J. F. Sage. These are all strong men. -Dr. Brooks is the leader of the delegation, and he is to be the bishop if enough of the other delegates will vote for him. As I go into the south tomorrow, to ride in Jim and James Crow cars and the world will meet.me, I want you all to pray te nee I may hold out and-hold eo ood.

Gray Lucas vs. Ilinois Commission Half-Century Anniversary of Negro Freedom, alias Illinois Com- mission (National) Half-Century An- niversary Exposition, otherwise known as Illinois Half-Century Exposition Commission, a corporation, and Samuel JOSEPH CAMPBELL’S TRIAL NEXT WEEK. | ‘The public at large is interested in the outcome of the trial of Joseph Campbell which begins next Thursday at Joliet and will last a week or ten days. The sensational tragedy which oeeurred at ‘the Joliet prison in June is still in the minds of everybody and it will be remembered that Campbell was charged with the crime as soon as the theory of Mrs. Allen’s death was changed from accident to murder. Campbell was a ‘trusty?’ in the pris- on and expected to be paroled the next day. No motive is assigned for the murder but when a White person is killed and a Colored person can be lo- cated anywhere near the time and place of the homicide, suspicion points its finger at the Colored man. Campbell has always declared he was innocent and has appealed to the public for funds to help him secure a fair trial. Following his appeal a commit tee was formed of the following per- sons: Frank Hamilton, L. B. Anderson, E. H. Wright, Daniel Jackson, 8. A. T. Watkins, George ©. Jones, Robert Lacey, S. L. Williams and Charles Ward. ‘This committee has issued an appeal and all who-are interested in giving an innocent man a fair trial are invited to make donation to the fund which may be sent to Mr. Charles Ward, 184 'W. Washington Street or to the Fellow- ship League at 3005 State Street. All donations and expenditures will be, pub- lished in the public press. The appeal is as follows: ‘Joseph Campbell indicted for the mur- der of the wife of Ex-Warden Allen of the Iilinois Penitentiary appeals to the publie for help to secure a fair trial. The County Board of Will Coun- ty voted the States Attorney Five Hun- dred Dollars ($500.00) as a special fund for the prosecution, but when Campbell asked to be furnished a copy of the Coroner’s minutes, by order of Court, his request was denied. Yet our Con- stitution provides that every person ac- used of crime ought to have “‘Right and justice freely and. without being obliged to purchase it”? cet ihn rin ts His Appeal for Help. Fallows.

Edward H. Morris and J. Gray Lucas Attorneys for the plaintiff. The above speaks for itself, and is the second step taken by Hon. J. Gray Lucas against the apparent repudiation of their contract with him, for the bal- ance of his contract money and their public statement by Bishop Fallows. There seems to be no lack of other ereditors to hear from in the after- math. preparation of the case, and stenogra- pher’s fees will be heavy and a Defense Fund is being raised to meet these ex- Penses and provide counsel. With the grateful approval of the accused pris oner, F. L, Barnett has been retained as Counsel. Joseph Campbell has protested his in- nocence from the first and only asks an opportunity to tell his story before a fair aud impartial jury. Will you help by donation to the De- fense Fund?

One of our able contemporaries expresses a desire to find the stimulus that will move mankind to action so as to get them to put into practice the knowledge they possess. He informs us that the need is not knowledge but the execution of what they know. He said, all doctors are agreed that tobacco is a potential cause of nervousness, blindness and heart disturbance and although they say tobacco is a poison they do not practice what they preach. That is quite an indictment against the medical profession. If we confess that we play with a poison, we also confess that we wilfully sin. How can we expect the layman to heed our warnings under such circumstances? How can we expect to advance the cause of health with such conduct? Small wonder the so-called "Christian Science" decries the people into believing that matter is a misconception. Small wonder is it that the conscious mind is argued out of existence and the subconscious mind alone is taken as the only one. Is it sin to mislead the precious people? When the leprosy was bestowed upon the servant of Elisha it was for his sin, and it was the curse put upon his descendants for the same reason.

Next Sunday he will address the Star Literary Society on "Can we learn any thing from our Inferiors." A. E. H. in the history of all time, often dismissed the cured patient with the warning "Go in peace and sin no more!" Only one instance does the writer recall that the patient was afflicted that the word of God might be made manifest. The contemporaries knew that sin played a great part in sickness and hence asked the Master "Who did sin?" We instinctively look for the cause or causes of our indispositions, disabilities and our diseases. We know that we are either guilty of sins of commission or sins of omission. We instinctively know that laws of nature can not be broken with impunity. When we feel pain or other evidence of bodily discomfort, we try to recall the particular infraction of the great law of nature and nature's God, called sin. If for any reason we cannot recall the exact breaking of the law, we keep trying to fix responsibility in order to be on the safe side in the future. The truth is we all have a good general idea of what is right and what is wrong as regards the natural law. The able contemporary is right, we do not act in accord with our knowledge. Europe knows the beatitudes but it does not harmonize knowledge with action. Hence the disease of Europe and it must be due to sin. Nations are like individuals in many respects. We are not proud of our diseases; "sin is a reproach to any people." COLERIDGE TAYLOR PROGRAM AT THE APOMATTOX CLUB. Sunday afternoon, October 4, at 4 P.

Harrison Emanuel, 6352 Rhodes avenue, was the first of this week for the second time freed or acquitted in the Criminal Court of all wrong doings in relation to any young girl or woman residing in this county or state; which was very gratifying to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Emanuel and their many friends.

Ask any schoolboy to give the highest point in the state of Colorado, and nine out of ten will name Pikes peak. Pikes peak is 14.110 feet above sea level, but there are many higher peaks in Colorado. Massive mountain, in Lake county, is one of the two highest points in the state, whose height has been determined by the United States geological survey and is 14.402 feet above sea level. Elbert mountain, in the same county, has the same elevation. Blanca peak, in Costilla, Heurfano and Saguache counties, is 14,390 feet high; Castle peak, in Gunnison and Pitkin counties, is 14,259 feet high; Evans mountain, in Clear-Creek county, 14,260 feet; La Plata peak, in Chaney county, 14,332 feet; Quandary peak, in Summit county, 14,256 feet; San Luis mountain, triangulation station, in Mineral and Saguache counties, 14,149 feet; Uncompahgre peak triangulation station, in Hinsdale county, 14,306 feet, and Wilson mountain triangulation station, in Dolores county, 14,250 feet-all higher than Pikes peak.-Geological Survey Bulletin. Sunset and Twilight. Twilight is a phenomenon caused by atmospheric refraction. When the sun gets below the horizon we are not immediately plunged into the darkness of night. Although the sun is below our horizon, rays of solar light are bent or refracted by the terrestrial atmosphere and continue to furnish some slight illumination. The process continues with diminishing intensity until the sun is so far below the horizon that the refracting power of the atmosphere is no longer able to bend the rays enough to produce a visible effect. The time after sunset that the sun reaches such a position varies with the latitude of the place. There is less twilight at the tropic zone than at the temperature or frigid zone. This is due to less time taken by the sun's rays to pass through the atmosphere, at the tropic zone the sun's rays being perpendicular and at the temperate and frigid zones oblique. Aeroplane Wings Various kinds of material including linen, silk, cotton, celluloid films and aluminum foli, have been tried for covering the wings of aeroplanes, but none has proved so satisfactory so far as linen covered with several coats of a rubber solution. This coating increases the strength of the linen about 5 per cent, makes it more enduring under varying weather conditions and causes it to stretch to an absolutely smooth surface, a feature that is of the utmost advantage in fast flights. Silk, which would seem to make an ideal covering on account of its lightness and strength, has been found unsatisfactory, as it does not withstand exposure to sun and rain and does not lend itself readily to the application of coating compounds.-London Answers. Dumas' Last Jest. Dumas the elder was the son of a general of Napoleon Bonaparte, who would take his soldiers by the breeches and fling them over the palasades to an assault. Dumas inherited much of that same spirit. It is said that Dumas left Paris for the last time taking with him a single gold piece, which he solemnly laid on the mantelpiece of his room at Puys. Toward the end his eye wandered across the sickroom to this coin, and, pointing to it, he said to his son: "See there! Fifty years ago when I came to Paris I had one louis in my possession. Why am I accused of being a prodigal? I have preserved and possess it still. See! There it is!" When Jackson Dined. When Colonel Davy Crockett was a member of congress and was at his home in Tennessee some one asked him about the dinner hour in Washington. He said the common people ate dinner at 12, the next above them at 1, the merchants at 2, the representatives at 3, the senators at 4, members of the cabinet at 5 and the vice president at 6. "But when does the president diner?" "What! Old Hickory?" said Crockett, anxious to fix a time that would suit his idea of Jackson's greatness. "Well, he doesn't eat till next day!"

Designed by refugee Polish artists and sculptors and dressed by Polish seamstresses who are paid for their work by the fund, these dolls actually incorporate the characteristics and even the expressions of Polish peasants, while their raiment, fashioned of bits of silk, ribbon, satin ```markdown ``` Copyright, 1915, by E. B. Lyman, HALKA OF WARSAW. and real lace, charmingly typify the quaint costumes worn in every province of Poland. These interesting, droll, wistful little people of all toyland now laid waste in Europe are the only dolls that promise to cross the Atlantic in time for Christmas. The tariff on each one is only $5, and they are delighting the hearts of American children all over the country while giving food to thousands of hungry Polish children. Torn from her playmates, Halka of Warsaw greets you and hopes you will like to get acquainted with others of her friends. Halka is doing such a wonderful work that it seems almost unkind to remark that coming over the salt water took the curl out of her bang. VELVETS FOR WINTER. Any material with a pile will be most acceptable for the development of the winter modes. It may be argued that the materials in demand for the bouffant effects that are to be the winter's vogue should have more body than the velvets we know. This is true, but Rodier has taken care that his velvets meet all these requirements. They have not only had the approval of the leading couturiers of Paris, but large orders have been given for these very materials, and many gowns to be shown at the very earliest openings are fashioned of velvet. Not only are the velvets to be striped and checked, but they are made up in charming color combinations. Other materials are a combination of velvet and faille or taffeta, and many are further enriched with metal threads. It is said that never have novelties shown by Rodier been as marvelous as they are for the coming season. PAGE FIVE Pottary and Sacracy. In the royal manufactory of pottery at Melsen, Saxony, the work was formerly carried on with the utmost secrecy to prevent the processes from becoming known elsewhere. The establishment was a complete fortress, the portcullis of which was not raised day or night, no stranger being permitted to enter for any purpose whatever. Every workman, even the chief inspector, was sworn to silence. This injunction was formally repeated every month to the superior officers employed, while the workmen had constantly before their eyes in large letters the warning motto, "Be Secret Unto Death." It was well known that any person divulging the process would be imprisoned for life in the castle of Koenigstein. Even the king himself when he took strangers of distinction to visit the works was enjoined to secrecy. One of the foremen, however, escaped and assisted in establishing a manufactory in Vienna, from which the secrets spread all over Germany. Light and Sound and Glass. Why doesn't the closed window shut out light just as much as it shuts out sound? Both light and sound travel through the air, and their waves come in contact with the glass. The light, after it has gone through the window, seems just as strong or stronger, while the sound seems ever so much weaker. Why is it? Many of us have wondered. The reason is that light is not a wave of air, while sound is. Light is a wave in the ether which is in the glass as well as in the air, so that light in passing through glass still has its natural path of ether. But when sound waves strike the window glass they must put the glass into vibration, and the glass in turn must make the air inside vibrate. All this lessens the strength of the sound waves, and they reach our ears capable of producing a less startling effect than are the light waves which reach our eyes. The Measure of a Man. At a meeting at which a prominent modern statesman, who is short in stature, was to speak the local chairman, endeavoring to be witty, observed that he was somewhat disappointed about the politician's physical proportions. "I had heard so much about this gentleman," he said, "that I naturally expected to meet a big man in every sense, but, as you see for yourselves, he is very small." Many an orator would have been upset by such an unfortunate beginning to the proceedings, but not so this one. "I am grieved to find," he said, with mock seriousness, "that your chairman is disappointed in my size, but this is owing to the way you have here of measuring a man. In my part of the kingdom we measure a man from his chin up, but you evidently measure him from his chin down." Feared Premature Burial The doctor who left instructions that a bell watch should be fixed to his wrist after death as a precaution against premature burial may have heard of the similar safeguards prescribed by Meyerbeer. Two men were to watch over him night and day for five days, he directed, and bells were to be hung from his hands and feet to give warning of the slightest movement. Finally, incisions were to be made in his throat. Harriet Martineau also had a fear of burial alive and left directions for her body to be decapitated, while Lady Burton stipulated for a post mortem examination of her remains. Which, we may ask, is greater, the fear of death or the fear of life?-London Standard. Ducks and Mosquitoes. According to experiments reported by S. G.-Dixon, the most formidable animal enemy of the mosquito is the duck, and the introduction of this bird is recommended for eliminating mosquitoes and the diseases which these insects spread from marshy regions, where draining would be too costly. Two artificial poools were constructed of equal area, ducks being placed in one and fish in the other. The former pool was quickly freed from mosquito pupae and larvae, while in the other they continued to abound. Wild ducks are said to prefer mosquitoes to all other food.—Indianapolis News. Natural Pottery. Excellent natural pottery is manufactured by nature in the case of a certain cactus. Woodpeckers are apt to excavate nests in the trunk and branches, and in order that it may protect itself against these incursions the plant exudes a sticky juice, which hardens, forming a woody lining to the hole made by the birds. Eventually the cactus dies and withers, but the wooden bowl remains. Dodging Trouble. "My wife says I don't know how to handle the baby." "I wouldn't get muffed over that, son," said the older man.

A Bint for | the Needleworker Crocheted buttons are extensively ‘used this season, and those that are handmade have a distinctive charm all their own. When you are clever enough to make these buttons yourself you solve the difficulty of shopping for Unusual shades to match gowns and coats, for twisted silk or skeins of silk come in almost every color, as do wool = ‘wooden The crocheting is put over molds, and these mold¢ome in various shapes and sizes—square, round, ob Jong or oval—and silk, wool or mer cerized cotton can be employed with equal success, the material used de- pending upon the use to which the but- tons are to be put. ‘Those that are cov- ered with silk can be used for orna- mentation, as well as for pure utility, but handmade sweaters this season are showing buttons covered with the same material of which the sweater itself is made, either wool or silk. But tons covered with mercerized cotton have infinite possibilities, for they can be used on all wash fabrics, as they Jaunder beautifully. These buttons are quite simple to make, the main secret being to crochet tightly, so there will be no spaces between the stitches, re- Vealing the wooden mold beneath. Start with a chain of three stitches, Join, and into this ring put eight single erochet. Into every second stitch of these eight stitches put three single crochet. This will start the four cor- ners. On the next row put three sin- gle crochet into every fourth stitch, which will bring it to the middle stitch of the three stitches in the row be- low. Continue around, increasing two ‘stitches on each side, until you have made a square large enough to cover the top of the mold. ‘Then crochet two rows without increasing at the cor- ners. Put in the mold and begin to decrease by skipping every fourth stitch. Do this for several rows. Then skip every third stitch, then every sec- ond one, until you reach the center. A row of single crochet around the cen- tral stiteh forms a fine shank and makes it easier to sew on, as well as to button. For round buttons start with a chain of three stitches, join, and into the ring put eight single crochet. Into each of these elght stitches put two single crochet. On the next row put two single crochet into every second stitch, then into every third stitch, reg- ulating this by keeping the circle per- fectly fiat When you have crocheted’ enough to cover the top of the mold crochet two-rows plain without adding any stitches. Fit this on the mold and begin to take off, skipping first every fourth, then every third and then every second stitch until you reach the cen- ter. ‘The covering should fit the mold very closely, so this may have to be modified somewhat. To make oval buttons start with a chain of four stitches, turn and work a single crochet into each stitch of the chain. In the last stitch put three single crochet and continue on around on the other side of the chain, working three single crochet into the middle stitch on the other end. Work on around, putting three single crochet Into the middie stitch of each ené. If it does not lie smooth put in four stitches instead of three on each end. When you have worked enough to cov- er the top of the mold make two plain rows all] around. Insert mold and be- sin to take off by skipping every fourth stitch, then every third and every sec- | nd stitch until it is finished. Then | vork one row around the middle stitch | 18 a shank. Of course these directions nay vary a little, according to the ais | if the button, but a little experience | ielps to overcome any difficulties, | Belts In Favor. Belts are in high favor again, which 1s probably due to the fact that most of the frocks and skirts have the trim normal waist line. The leather belts are more varied and beautiful than ever before. They range in width from two to six inches and in many cases are much wider. Patent leather is much in favor for the new belts, and it is shown in vari- ous colorings combined with black or white. One beautifal wide belt of soft erushable white kid had a shaped in- Set piece of blue patent leather at each side. There was a long narrow buckle of white kid. Another wide belt of white kid had & large buckle of white kid and red patent leather trimmings. Another wide belt of white kid had trimmings of brown suede.

Put the same clothes on the woman who stands on her heels instead of on the balis of her feet, the woman who sinks down in her corset and by so doing throws her abdomen outward, her hips forward, lets her chest sink in and her shoulders round forward, while her back hollows below the waist line— any amount of style in the costume worn by this woman fs swallowed up by the lack of style in the woman her- self. ‘The lines of a woman's gown or cloak are altered to their ruin when by incorrect carriage of her body they are turned and twisted out of place. The woman who is admired for her style in dressing looks—no matter what the time or the occasion—as if what she wears at that time, upon that oc- casion, had been planned with refer- ence to that time, that place and to her.—Good Health.

Unfortunately many girls believe that daintiness costs money ‘and pass it by on the plea of a small Pocketbook. Daintiness, as a matter of fact, can be achieved for a very small amount of money, provided one is willing to spend some time and not a little thought on the decoration of one’s bedroom. Pink and blue have been the colors Jong honored as the young girl's, but the young person of decided character who feels that these pale tints do not reflect her vivid personality may choose in these very modern times cubist and futurist colorings and, with the aid of some of the new and artistic chintzes, may achieve a very stunning effect. ‘The furniture par excellence for the girl’s room is finished in white enamel, and if you are not fortunate enough to possess this sort you can easily change what you have at hand by a can of white paint and one of white enamel. Painting is by no means easy work, but it is work which many a girl has accomplished successfully at home. It will be necessary first to purchase ‘a can of paint remover so as to take off as much as possible of the original stain. ‘Then give the pieces of fur- niture two or even three coats of white or cream paint and finally one of white or cream enamel. This should be allowed to dry thoroughly before an attempt to use it is made. Now, if your bed is a wooden one you can produce a very quaint effect by pasting over the head and base ‘boards chintz in a pretty design. This should be cut to fit the boards exactly and edged with braid to match the chintz, the whole being glued flat on to the head and base boards, or brass headed tacks placed at one inch inter- vals can be used to hold the chintz, Some girls have created a very pretty. effect by cutting out flowers or birds: from chintz and pasting these designs at conventional intervals on the base and head boards. The dressing table can be made very pretty by the aid of chintz, and if you ‘want a dressing table don’t despair. Just make one. “How?” perhaps you ask. It is really the easiest thing in the world. If there is a fair sized ta- ble somewhere in the house which is not used for any particular purpose claim it as your own and use this as| the foundation for your dressing table. First it must be coated with white or cream paint or enamel. Then fit a cov- er of the chintz over the top and sew @ ruffle of the same around this flat cover. The ruffle should be only three or four inches long and should be quite full, so that it will frill prettily. Over the top of the table should be placed a thick piece of glass, which you can purchase and have cut to fit at any glazier’s. This will be the most ex- Pensive item in the making of the dressing table—it will probably cost $4 or $5—but this money will be well ex- pended, for it saves the top of the ta- ble and the chintz from dirt and wear. ‘Now comes the question of the mir- ror over the table. In the basement of any of the big department stores a cheap mirror can be purchased for $1.50 or $2. This will have a brown or imitation mahogany frame and will not be a thing of beauty. But the glass will be fairly good, and the frame can | be covered. Remove the nails which | hold the back of the glass and the front | of it together, take off the frame and | cover neatly with the chintz, gluing | it fat to the surface and allowing an | inch or two to overlap to the back on | either side. When this is quite dry put back on the glass and fasten the back to the front with the nails which were removed previously. Hang over the mirror and complete the charming ef- | fect by purchasing two white enamel candlesticks which should be topped by | dainty shades made from the chintz. | ‘To carry out the color scheme drape | the windows with thin silk mull in a! white or cream shade, at 25 cents a yard, and sew a band of chintz to the edge of the curtains, or use the mull curtains plain, edging with a bit of lace, and introduce the chintz effect in | a short valance at the top of the win- dow. Do not, however, leave over cur fains of the chintz. They shut out too much light and air, and a bedroom | needs as much of these as possible. | |_ American cooks use the egg white ‘More than the egg yolk, but how true is the instinct of the European cook in Preferring the yolk even if the white cannot be utilized (he generally makes lady fingers or some of the other so called “biscuits” with it) can be seen by studying some of our most recent ‘selentific books on foods.

The above question is not intended to be personal. We are quite sure that you are a good, steady going citizen; but, all the same, we are equally sure that you cannot walk straight without the help of your eyes. Naturally your tendency is to walk in a circle, and you would do this if your eyes were not constantly correcting the tendency. You may easily test this. Place two stakes in your garden about eight feet apart, take up a position some sixty feet away, get some one to blindfold you and then try to walk between the two stakes. You will find that you are going in a circle. Why? The explanation is very simple. You walk faster with one foot than with the other. Everybody does One leg always takes a longer stride, with the result that you naturally walk more to one side than the other. Men who have been lost in the Australian bush have marked the trees they passed and found that they again and again returned to their starting tree after describing a complete circle—Dundee Advertiser. Unique Bible Character One of the few men in the Bible who have nothing recorded against them is Joseph of Arimathea. Every one of the evangelists has a good word to say for Joseph. One says he "was an honorable counselor," another that he "was a just man," another that he was "a rich man," another that he was a "secret disciple." Only one of the evangelists speaks of the birth of Christ, but all four of them erect a monument to Joseph of Arimathea. When he became a disciple we are not told. Dr. Andrew Bonar of Scotland says he can just imagine that Nicodemus may have been moved by Joseph of Arimathea to believe in Christ. At all events, Nicodemus didn't come out very boldly himself. He didn't get his discipleship out very clean. They were both members of the sandbed, but it is evident that none knew that Joseph was a secret disciple until a certain night—Christian Herald. THE FASHION OF THE TIME IDEAL FOR CALLING. This charming gown is developed in navy pussy willow silk, with a "cuffed" skirt and deep embroidered yoke. The simple long sleeved bodice has a georgette crape yoke and cuffs. Please note how the girdle is laced with a blue velvet ribbon, finished with ball tassels. With this smart frock go white topped button boots and a navy velours felt hat set off with a jaunty white ostrich plume. For Dripping Candles. Everybody who has watched candles in a draft knows what troublesome things dripping candles are. If they stand on the dinner table they make pools of melted wax on the cloth that later hardens. But unless it is very carefully removed after it has become absolutely cold it leaves a stain on the cloth for many days—perhaps forever. If the burning candles stand on a wooden surface the inconvenience of splotches of melted wax, hardening into fantastic shapes, is equally great. There are little disks of glass, pierced in the center with a hole the size of the ordinary candle, made to catch this melting grease. They are perhaps two and a half inches or three inches across, and they are made with edges slanting slightly upward, so that they serve as sancers. To adjust them slip them over the candle after it is firmly secured in the candlestick or else thrust the lower end of the candle through them before putting it in the stick. They come in several different designs—some with scalloped edges, some with a Roman key engraved as a border, some with a tiny star sprinkled over their surface. They cost from a dollar a dozen up and can be used on glass or silver candlesticks. LONG WAISTED COATS. The average woman is more interested in her autumn coat suit than she is in evening frocks, although the changes in fashions for the latter should enable her to alter whatever she has, if that is possible, in order that they may meet the social life of the early fall, when people come together in town again and one wants informal evening clothes, if no other kind. Nothing is settled here in the way of any clothes until models are received from Paris, so far as the winter is concerned. But some of the advance styles are belted exactly at the waist line, as they were in the late spring; others have an exaggerated point in the fronts somewhat after the manner of an Elizabethan bodice with a faring peplum attached and running high at the sides. This is a novelty, and whether or not it will be repeated frequently one cannot tell. There are many women to whom it will be very becoming. At least it is a decided change from what we have had, and there are rumors that it will usher in a variety of coats that run down to a point either in the front or back with high side lines. For the woman who is over fifty and whose hips have broadened the point will be good, and the side shaping can be managed accordingly to her requirements. --- THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 23, 1915.

HATS TRIMMED FREE Da Vinci's Career Leonardo da Vinci was a great Italian painter and sculptor, architect and civil and military engineer, a scientific inventor and a man of universal genius. He was born in Vinci, near Florence. in 1452. Two of his earlier productions are still extant-"The Adoration of the Magli," in the gallery of the Uffizi at Florence, and "The Virgin of the Rocks," in the British National gallery. His great painting of the "Lord's Supper" was finished in 1499. The original has been wholly defaced; but, judging from copies, this work is universally regarded as one of the greatest ever produced. In 1499 he painted his celebrated portrait of Mona Lisa del Glocondo. in 1507 he painted a Madonna and child. His extant works are few, and some of those attributed to him are believed to have been executed by his pupils. He died May 2, 1519. Moths That Eat Your Clothes. THE little clothes moth is grayish-yellow. It is not the winged moth that eats up clothing. The caterpillar is the real perpetrator of all the damage done to garments. All the flying moth does is lay eggs, for it has no mouth for food. But the winged moth is the source of mischief "higher up," for its eggs hatch hungry little worms. They are fancy little worms that eat our clothes, for each lives in a little case or jacket adapted to its growth in a curious way. Without leaving its case the clothes moth makes silts and inserts gores on the sides and also lengthens its jacket to meet its needs. The fresh material needed comes from the clothing wool, fur or feathers on or near which the crafty moth has laid its almost invisible eggs for this very purpose—Exchange. His Handicap. On his first visit he looked around for a possible partner at a game and approached a stout gentleman whose deportment suggested social standing. "Certainly, sir," replied the latter in answer to the newcomer's invitation. Then, as they approached the first tee, he went on: "By the way, I'm a four man. What are you?" The novice was startled, but after a minute's consideration he said: "Foreman, are ye? Well, I'm a straw hat manufacturer."—Bek's Weekly. Giving Credit.

"What are you reading so intently?" "Balzac. I have to post up on Balzac because my beau is interested in Balzac. Don't you ever post up on the things which interest your beau?"

A., has recently corrected a popular mistake in the history of natural history. The discovery of the kangaroo family is generally credited to Sir Joseph Banks and is supposed to have occurred during Captain Cook's first voyage in 1770. This date, it appears, is nearly 150 years too late. When the Dutch East India company's ship, the Batavia, under command of Captain Pelsart, was wrecked on the Abrolhos islands in 1629 the survivors encountered among other strange things the Dama wallaby, the first member of the kangaroo family known to Europeans. Captain Pelsart described it as a species of cat about the size of a hare, noted its remarkable hind legs and described in considerable detail the abdominal pouch for the young and the use of it. An Ancient English Inn. Among the inns that put forward a claim to antiquity place must be found for "Ye Old King James and Ye Tinker," which still "carries on" its business at White Webb's Lane, near Waltham Cross. It claims to have been established well over a thousand years ago and came by its present unique title through King James I, visiting it during a royal hunt in Enfield Chase and meeting with a tinker imbibing his modest cup of malt who desired to see a king. His majesty promised his wish should be granted and took him on his horse to where his nobles were assembled, throwing off his incognito at the proper dramatic moment, to the great confusion of the tinker, whose embarrassment was solved by a knighthood and commemorated in a ballad.—London Chronicle. We Should Not Worry. "Worry would kill a horse," says Mrs. Clara Z. Moore, health expert. "There is no sickness more insidious, no drug more poisonous, than the continued effects of worry. "Proper physical exercise will remove the worry and the tired out condition that causes it. A sick body often produces a sick mind, and the opposite is also true that a sick mind causes a sick body. "The moral is, 'If you do not want to be sick do not worry.'"—Chautauqua News Drunken Elephants. The fruit of the umganu tree of South Africa yields a strong intoxicating drink. Elephants are said to be very fond of it, becoming quite tipsy, staggering about, playing antics, screaming so as to be heard for a mile and sometimes having tremendous and sometimes fatal fights.
