THE BROAD AX Ex-Governor William Sulzer of New York Has Become the Candidate of the American Party for President of the United States. He Was Nominated in a Most Enthusiastic Convention at Minneapolis, Minn. He Declares That He Will Pull More Than Two Million of Votes.

Ex-Governor Cand United astic That Spec THE PLATFORM OF THE AMERICA MR. SULZER'S SHORT ELOQU HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE NEGRO SOLDIERS." HE WILL WAGE A BRILLIANT PRESENCE WILL BE FELT IN CONTEST THIS YEAR IN ALL The remainder of this year will be a great time for statesmen and politicians to forge to the front and the latest Richmond in the field for president of the United States is former Governor William Sulzer of New York, who is one of the best known men in this country, who has been nominated as the standard bearer of the American Party. In a late interview Mr. Sulzer has this to say in relation to his striving to become president of this great Republic. "How does it feel to be a Presidential candidate?" repeated Mr. Sulzer to an inquiry. "Well," he smiled, "I have been a candidate so many times the feeling is familiar—and I take it philosophically. Jesús philosophe toujours, is an old maxim of mine. "Why didn't the Prohis, nominate me?" he again repeated. "Because I do not belong to the Prohibition Party, and they say Tom Taggart's machine in the Hoosier State was afraid if I got the nomination, the vote I was sure to get in Indiana, would defeat overwhelmingly the Democratic ticket in that State. "You know I am, and always have been, a true Democrat of the Jefferson School, and my candidacy meant defeat to the Democrats. Mr. Hanley has always been a Republican, and his candidacy will hurt the Republicans—and hence the fine Italian work of the Taggart machine. To those who watched the moves in the St. Paul convention, it was a glorious triumph of the Democratic machine of Indiana. However, the best laid plans of mice and men 'gang aft agley'—and we shall see ere long what will be as Horace Greely used to say, 'mighty interesting consequences.' "What will the American Party do?" the former Governor was asked. "It will make a great campaign for its principles, and when the votes are counted, it will not be the last in the race. We are out to win." We will start organizing and campaigning at once. We are now organized in seven states, and in a month we will be organized in a dozen or two more—and then watch our fight for the people and our free institutions. It will be a memorable campaign from start to finish—with plenty of pep and ginger. Somebody is going to get left. The branch will not be on us. "The American Party made no nomination for Vice President. It offered the honor to Col. John M. Parker, of Louisiana. If he finally declines, the committee is authorized to fill the vacancy. I hope the Colonel will accept but have no fear, we will get a good man. "I am a progressive through and through, and I favor a union of the American Party and the Progressive Party. If we unite we can win. A general conference looking to that end will soon be held. "The Prohi party is dead. The American Party is very much alive. The Progressive Party can be resuscitated. Up to the time of our convention the campaign of 1916 had infantile paralysis. But, from now on there will be life and vim, and vigor, and victory in the air. "Do not forget there is a fighting candidate—a new Richmond now in the field, and with the best and most honest platform ever adopted, he moves forward to challenge all comers for presidential honors." The platform of the American Party follows. **Platform of the American Party.** The American Party, in National Convention Assembled, in Minneapolis, July 22, 1916, declares for God, Home and Country; the Perpetuity of the Free Institutions of America; and demands these essential reforms to further the Brotherhood of Man. 1. Peace and comity with all nations—entangling alliances with none—and the establishment of an International Court of Justice—having jurisdiction of every International Question, with ample powers to enforce its decrees, and insure the peace of the World. 2. The prohibition of the manufacture, and the sale, and the importation, and the transportation of alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes—with an administration committed to its consummation. 3. Equal suffrage to women by the adoption of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment to the Federal Constitution; equality of all before the law; river and harbor improvements; good roads; the reclamation of desert lands; an American Merchant Marine; a more scientific system of taxation; an honest dollar; the safeguarding of American citizens at home and abroad; and an honest, and efficient, and an economical administration of public affairs—free from graft—with equal rights to all and special privileges to none. 4. Human rights before property rights; the man above the dollar; the protection of those who toil; the promotion of social justice; the betterment of the home; harmony between capital and labor by a more equitable distribution of the fruits of labor; an eight-hour work day; a Civil Service based entirely on the merit system; the conservation of our national resources; the initiative, the referendum, and the recall; the government ownership, and operation, of public utilities; simplicity and expediency in civil and criminal law procedure to secure the square deal; a uniform marriage and divorce law; the extermination of private monopoly; the prevention of the mortmain of idle wealth; the abolition of child labor in shops and factories; court review of departmental decisions; and a cheaper and more efficient ptelees post. 5. A single Presidential term; preferential direct primaries for the nomination of President, Vice-President, and Senators and Representatives in Congress—together with their election directly by the voters; and the assembling of Congress on the first Monday in January succeeding the election of the members thereof. 6. The perpetuity of our free institutions; civil and religious liberty; freedom of worship; complete separation of Church and State; no public funds for sectarian purposes; free speech, free press; free public schools; and a land of free men and free women—free from Tear; free from superstition; and free from the fetters of the dead and buried past—politically, medically, economically, and industrially. CHICAGO, AUGUST 5, 1916 7. On this platform, and for these principles, the American Party presents to the electors of the United States as its candidate for President, Wm. Sulzer, of New York, and as its candidate for Vice-President, John M. Parker, of Louisiana; and declares that their records, in the vineyard of the people, testify in tones more eloquent than words their loyalty to the public; their fidelity to these principles; their devotion to Peace, Progress, Prosperity, Patriotism, and Prohibition; their fitness for the office; and to secure their election the American Party cordially invites the cooperation of the patriotic citizens of our country regardless of past political affiliations. A positive evidence that William Sulzer has for many years been friendly disposed towards the Colored race, we take much pleasure in reproducing his short and eloquent oration delivered in the House of Representatives, Feb. 27th, 1909, in favor of doing justice to the "Negro soldiers" for he it remembered that for twenty years Mr. Sulzer was one of the foremost members of Congress from the 10th Congressional District of New York City, and if he fails to land in the White House as the president' of the United States, later on there are thousands of people in all parts of this country who would be very much delighted to see him resume his long and honorable career in the halls of Congress from his same old congressional district. "THE NEGRO SOLDIERS." On Feb. 27th, 1909, the bill to do justice to the Negro soldiers was up for discussion in the House of Representatives and on calling the roll William Sulzer like a brave and true blue liberty loving free American answered present at the same time standing on his feet and with all eyes rivited upon him he very eloquently delivered the following short oration on "The Negro Soldiers." Mr. Sulzer said: "Mr. Speaker: We have no braver soldiers in the Republic than the Negro troops. I am in favor of doing justice to those Negro soldiers. They are entitled to it. They never have had a square deal in or out of Court. "The innocent should not be punished for the guilty. I voted in favor of this bill in the Committee on Military Affairs, and I shall vote to pass it through the House. It is honest and it is just. "It will do justice to the innocent men. If we fail to do justice in this case, we will be false to ourselves, and false to every principle that we revere. If we refuse to do justice to the Colored soldiers who are innocent, we will violate every tenet of our boasted love of fair play. In my opinion, if this bill becomes a law, no guilty man will be able to re-enlist in the army, and no innocent man should be prevented from doing so. "I have no race prejudice. I want to say that I am now, always have been, and I trust always shall be, in favor of justice to all men—here and everywhere throughout the world—without regard to race or to creed. 'For justice all seasons summer, and all places a temple.'" No doubt on the seventh of this coming November many millions of voters in this country will not feel like voting for either President Woodrow Wilson or the Hon. Charles E. Hughes; then in that case they should cast their votes for William Sulzer for president of the United States for his warm liberty-loving heart beats in sympathy with struggling humanity. J.

Two Negroes and White Man Each Assessed $5 for Jackson Park Battle. Participants in the race riot at the Jackson Park beach night were each fined $5 and costs by Judge Rafferty in the Hyde Park court the first of this week. Those fined were Thomas Jackson, 5507 Lake Park avenue, and William Willshire of 5618 Harper avenue, Negroes, and John Merrick of 5616 Kenwood avenue. Five Negroes, with five Negro women went to the beach and a fight started between them and a crowd of White bathers. In court the Negroes charged that the Whites started the fight. This was denied There are many buldozing Whites who entertain the idea that they own the whole earth, and many of them do not own anything and there are many loud mouthed Negroes who are always walking around with chips on their backs looking for trouble and it is this class of Whites and Blacks who are the leaders and the instigators of race riots and it was well indeed that Judge Rafferty permitted the strong arm of the law to fall upon both the Colored and the White alike for there is plenty of room at the public beaches of this city for all to bathe without starting any race riots.—Editor.

Arageous Champion of the common People of the American Party for President of SMALL IS "TOP NOTCH" FARMER Candidate for State Treasurer Efficient Manager. Len. Small of Kankakee, Ill., a candidate for nomination for state treasurer, is one of the leading farmers of Eastern Illinois. Last year in the "top-notch" farmers contest Mr. Small was first chosen a "top-notch" farmer in his own township, and in the county contest was placed as one of the five "top-notch" farmers of Kankakee county. This is an especially strong record, because Kankakee county was the first county in the state to have an agricultural adviser, the result being that the farms in that county are in excellently kept condition. To be one of the five best farmers in such a county speaks much for efficiency. This efficiency has characterized Mr. Small, both in private and public work, and will continue to characterize his services if elected state treasurer. HON. LEWIS G. STEVENSON SHOULD BE NOMINATED FOR SECRETARY OF STATE AT THE STATE WIDE PRIMARIES WED-NESDAY SEPTEMBER 13. No mistake was made by the present chief executive of this state, when he selected the Hon. Lewis G. Stevenson, to succeed the late Harry Woods, as Secretary of State. For Mr. Stevenson has made a high class or tip-top, painstaking public official and plays no favors in the discharge of his official duties. Therefore he should be nominated for Secretary of State at the State wide primaries Wednesday, September 13th.

Fisher, who has honorably and intelligently represented the people of the 32nd Ward in the city council, for a good many years, and who is very popular with his constituents regardless of their politics and at all times approachable, has become one of the Republican candidates for the nomination for Congressman in the third congressional district and Alderman Fisher will conduct a manly and dignified campaign to forge ahead of his rivals at the primaries Wednesday, September 13th. LITERACY LAW IS DEFEATED. Oklahoma Votes Down Constitutional Amendment Proposed as "Grandfather" Substitute. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Interest in the primaries in that state last Tuesday centered in the proposed literacy test amendment to the state constitution, which official returns indicate has been defeated by a majority that might reach 15,000. The test would have disfranchised any person unable to read or write any section of the state constitution and was admitted intended as a substitute for the famous "grandfather" law, declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court because it in effect deprived Negroes of the right to vote.

Entered as Second-Class Matter Aug. 19, 1902, at the Post Office at Chicago, Illinois, under Act of March 3, 1879. GOES LONG WAY TO WED Pretty Newfoundland Miraveled to Vancouver to Marry. Vancouver, Wash.—Coming all the way from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to meet her sweetheart of school days, Miss Isabel M. Ewing, a pretty, twenty-two-year-old miss, was married to Herbert G. Bradley, a restaurant man of Portland, Ore., in the office of the county auditor here recently. It was only a few hours after her arrival in Portland, whence she had come at Bradley's call, that they came to Vancouver together and were married. Though it was several hours after the time for the marriage license bureau to close, Mrs. May R. Hacok, the county auditor, obligingly went to the courthouse and issued a license. Justice of the Peace W. S. T. Dart was called, and the ceremony was performed in the auditor's office. Only two friends from Portland and the local officials witnessed the ceremony. Bradley left his home in Newfoundland several years ago and came west in search of fortune. In a dairy lunch business in Portland he built up an income sufficient to send for his sweet heart. LAD. TEASED. USED GUN. Boy, Who Was Mountaineer, Made Onion Weeders Scatter. Kenton, O.—A real Kentucky mountaineer of fiction type—six feet one and a half inches tall and weighing 100 pounds, although only fourteen years old—awoke the quiet settlement of Alger on the Scioto marsh, the center of the greatest onion raising district in Ohio, when he started a cannonade that sent the natives to the trenches. He was Charles S. Hale, who hails from Greensburg, Ky., and who came to Tardin county to weed onions. The youth bought a gun and threatened to shoot the hats off any one who opened their heads to him. He says the other weeders were teasing him. The trouble came when officers tried to arrest him. The bullet hit Harvey Porter. Spectators scattered. The lads was sent to the Lancaster Industrial school. HAS SHAVED 243.960. Barber Says He Has Had That Many In His Chair. Lorain, O.—Theodore Curtis, a Lorain barber, has just celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the beginning of his career. Curtis, who has kept account of every man he has shaved, says he has removed the whiskers of 23,300 men. "I have also cut enough hair to make eleven mattresses and to pad 43,562 crutches," said Curtis. The barber has shaved some of the country's widely known men, including Presidents McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, Senators Mark Hanna, Matt Quay, Albert Reveridge and Ben Tillman, "Doc" Cook, Buffalo Bill, Jessie Willard, Tod Shead and Harry Thaw. "I would like to add Charles Evans Hughes to my list of notables," observed Curtis. NOW IT'S "SWAT THE WEED." Arkansas Begins Campaign to Protect Soils From Useless Growths. Fayetteville, Ark.—"Swat 'em" applies to other things in Arkansas besides the fly. A campaign against weeds was announced recently by the extension division of the University of Arkansas, with the terse advice: "Swat 'em and save future labor and soil fertility and soil moisture." Weeds may cost a community or state millions of dollars, according to an extension division bulletin. Spread of weeds is said to be due to carelessness. After farmers let weeds ripen the seeds are scattered by travelers or birds or are sold with hay to infest other neighborhoods. The bulletin urges children be taught to "swat" weeds and never let one ripen to seed. HUGHES IS TOLD OF NOMINATION Republican Leader Scores Wilson Administration. MEXICO TARGET OF ATTACK The Nominee Intimates That He Would Have Backed Up Americans on Lusitania by Deeds, Not Words. Charges Administration With Vaciliation—Favors Woman Suffrage and Protection. New York—In his address in Carnegie Hall, New York, accepting the Republican nomination for president, Charles Evans Hughes said: "Senator Harding, members of the notification committee and fellow citizens—This occasion is more than a mere ceremony of notification. We are not here to indulge in formal expressions. We come to state in a plain and direct manner our faith, our purpose and our pledge. This representative gathering is in a happy augury. It means the strength of reunion. It means that the party of Lincoln is restored, alert, effective. It means the unity of a common perception of paramount national deeds. It means that we are neither deceived nor benumbed by abnormal conditions. We know that we are in a critical period, perhaps more critical than any period since the civil war. We need a dominant sense of national unity, the exercise of our best constructive powers, the vigor and resourcefulness of a quickened America. We desire that the Republican party as a great liberal party shall be the agency of national achievement, the organ of the effective expression of dominant Americanism. What do I mean by that? I mean America, conscious of power, awake to obligation, erect in self respect, prepared for every emergency devoted to the ideals of peace, instinct with the spirit of human brotherhood, safeguarding both individual opportunity and the public interest, maintaining a well ordered constitutional system adapted to local self-government without the sacrifice of essential national authority, appreciating the necessity of stability, expert knowledge and thorough organization as the indispensible conditions of security and progress; a country loved by its citizens with a patriotic fervor permitting no division in their allegiance and no rivals in their affection—I mean America first and America efficient. It is in this spirit that I respond to your summons." Criticises Diplomatic Appointments. In discussing foreign relations and appointments Mr. Hughes declared that the executive had not commanded the respect of the world by his conduct of the state department. Competent diplomats, notably Ambassador Herrick of France, have been retired for no other reason than to meet partisan demands. "The dealings of the administration," Mr. Hughes declared, "constitute a confused chapter of blunders. We have not helped Mexico. She lies prostrate, impoverished, famine stricken, overwhelmed with the woes and rages of internecene strife, the helpless victim of a condition of anarchy which the course of the administration only served to promote. For ourselves, we have witnessed the murder of our citizens and the destruction of their property. We have made enemies, not friends. Instead of commanding respect and deserving good will by sincerity, firmness and consistency, we provoked misapprehension and deep resentment. In the light of the conduct of the administration no one could understand its professions. In decrying interference, we interfered most exasperatingly. We have not even kept out of actual conflict. We have restored to physical invasion, only to retire without gaining the professed object. It is a record which cannot be examined without a profound sense of humiliation." Huerta Treatment Follish Intervention. Reviewing the interference with Huerta. Mr. Hughes characterized it as "a vacillating and ineffective intervention" and as "the height of folly." "So far as the character of Huerta is concerned, the hollowness of the pretensions on this score is revealed by the administration subsequent patronage of Villa (whose qualifications as an assassin are indisputable) whom apparently the administration was ready to recognize had he achieved his end and fulfilled what then seemed to be its hope. "The question is not as to the non-recognition of Huerta. The administration did not contend itself with refusing to recognize Huerta, who was recognized by Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Spain and Japan. The administration undertook to destroy Huerta, to control Mexican policies, even to deny Huerta the right to be a candidate for the office of president a the election the administration demanded. With what bewilderment must the Americans have regarded our assertion of their right to manage their own affairs." Huerta More Pretext After describing the seizure of Vera Cruz, Mr. Hughes says: "We are now informed that 'we did not go to THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, AUGUST 5, 1916 Vera Cruz to force Huerta to salute the flag,' we are told that we went there 'to show Mexico that we were in earnest in our demands that Huerta must go.' That is, we seized Vera Cruz to depose Huerta. The question of the salute was a mere pretext. "Meanwhile the administration utterly failed to perform its obvious duty to secure protection for the lives and property of our citizens. The bitter hatred aroused by the curse of the administration multiplied outrages, while our failure to afford protection to our citizens evoked the scorn and contempt of Mexicans. ate that position I am confident there would have been no deed of American lives by the slur the Lustania. Moreover, a financial policy would have been supported by our people, and opportunities of the development ter feeling would have been deuced. "It is a great mistake to resoluteness in protecting rights would have led to war in that course lay the best a of peace. Weakness and index the maintenance of known ra always sources of grave danger forfelt respect and invite Left Mexico to Be Ravaged. "Destroying the government of Huerta, we left Mexico to the ravages of revolution. I shall not attempt to narrate the sickening story of the barbarities committed, of the carnival of murder and lust. We were then told that Mexico was entitled to spill as much blood as she pleased to settle her affairs. The administration vacillated with respect to the embargo on the export of arms and munitions to Mexico. There was an utter absence of consistent policy. "For a time we bestowed friendship on Villa. Ultimately we recognized Carranza, not on the ground that he had a constitutional government, but that it was a de facto government. The complete failure to secure protection to American citizens is shown conclusively in the note of the secretary of state of June 20, 1916. Raids Go Unpunished. "The Santa Ysabel massacre, the raid at Columbus, the bloodshed at Carrizal are fresh in your minds. After the Columbus raid we started a punitive expedition. We sent a thin line of troops hundreds of miles into Mexico, between two lines of railway, neither of which we were allowed to use and which we did not feel at liberty to seize. We were refused permission to enter the towns. Though thus restricted, the enterprize was still regarded by the Mexicans as a menace. Out troops hostile forces and it is not remarkable that our men fell at Carrizal. What other result could be expected? We were virtually ordered to withdraw, and without accomplishing our purpose we have been withdrawing and we are now endeavoring to safeguard our own territory. The entire national guard has been ordered out, and many thousands of our citizens have been taken from their peaceful employment and hurried to the Mexican borders. The administration was to seize and punish Villa for his outrage on our soil. It has not punished any one; we went in only to retire, and future movements are apparently to be determined by a joint commission. Wishes Peace for Mexico. "The nation has no policy of aggression toward Mexico. We have no desire for any part of her territory. We wish her to have peace, stability and prosperity. We should be ready to aid her in binding up her wounds, in relieving her from starvation and distress and in giving her in every practicable way the benefits of our disinterested friendship. The conduct of this administration has created difficulties which we shall have to surmount. We shall have to overcome the antipathy needlessly created by that conduct and to develop genuine respect and confidence. We shall have to adopt a new policy, a policy of firmness and consistency through which we alone can promote an enduring friendship. We demand from Mexico the protection of the lives and the property of our citizens and the security of our border from depredations. Much will be gained if Mexico is convinced that we contemplate no meddlesome interference with what does not concern us, but that we propose to insist in a firm and candid manner upon the performance of international obligations. To a stable government appropriately discharging its international duties, we should give ungrudging support. A short period of firm, consistent and friendly dealing will accomplish more than many years of vacillation." Wholehearted! for U. S. Discussing the European war and the maintenance of American rights. Mr. Hughes declared that "national security demands that there shall be no faltering with American rights." Continuing he said: "We countenance no covert policies. No intrigues, no secret schemes. We are unreservedly devoted, wholeheartedly for the United States. That is the rallying point for all Americans. That is my position. I stand for the unfinishing maintenance of all American rights on land and sea. Blames Wilson for Subsea Horrors. "We have had a clear and definite mission as a great neutral nation. It was for us to maintain the integrity of international law; to vindicate our rights as neutrals; to protect the lives of our citizens, their property and trade from wrongful acts. At least we were entitled to the safeguarding of American rights. But this has not been secured. We have had brave words in a series of notes, but despite out protests the lives of Americans have been destroyed. What does it avail to use some of the strongest words known to diplomacy if ambassadors can receive the impression that the words are not to be taken seriously. It is not words, but the strength and resolution behind the words that count. Had this government by the use of both informal and formal diplomatic opportunities left no doubt that when we said 'strict accountability' we meant precisely what we said and that we should unhesitatingly whi- cate that position I am confident that there would have been no destruction of American lives by the sinking of the Lusitania. Moreover, a firm American policy would have been strongly supported by our people, and the opportunities of the development of bitter feeling would have been vastly reduced. "It is a great mistake to say that resoluteness in protecting American rights would have led to war. Rather, in that course lay the best assurance of peace. Weakness and indecision in the maintenance of known rights are always sources of grave danger. They forfeit respect and invite serious wrongs, which in turn create an uncontrollable popular resentment. That is not the path of national security. Not only have we host of resources short of war by which to enforce our just deamads, but we shall never promote our peace by being stronger in words than in deeds. We should not have found it difficult to maintain peace, but we should have maintained peace with honor. During this critical period the only danger of war has lain in the weak course of the administration." No Danger of Militarism. Referring to preparedness, Mr. Hughes said: "We are a peace loving people, but we live in a world 'of arms. We have no thought of aggression, and we desire to pursue our democratic ideals without the wastes of strife. So devoted are we to these ideals, so intent upon our normal development, that I do not believe that there is the slightest danger of militarism in this country. Adequate preparedness is not militarism. It is the essential assurance of security; it is a necessary safeguard of peace. "It is apparent that we are shockingly unprepared. There is no room for controversy on this point since the object lesson on the Mexican border. All our available regular troops, less, I believe, than 40,000, are there or in Mexico, and as these have been deemed insufficient the entire national guard has been ordered out—that is, we are summoning practically all our movable military forces in order to prevent bandit incursions. In view of the warnings of the past three years it is inexcusable that we should find ourselves in this plight. "We demand adequate national defense, adequate protection on both our western and eastern coasts. We demand thoroughness and efficiency in both arms and services. It seems to be plain that our regular army is too small. I believe, further that there should be not only a reasonable increase in the regular army, but that the first citizen reserve subject to call should be enlisted as a federal army and trained under federal authority. Democrats Caused Loss of Jobs. Mr. Hughes declared that the country was deeply interested in the organization of peace. New conditions which it must meet would follow at the end of the war. "We are undisciplined, defective in organization, loosely knit, industrially unprepared. Our opponents promised to reduce the cost of living. This they have failed to do, but they did reduce the opportunities of making a living. Let us not forget the conditions that existed in this country under the new tariff prior to the outbreak of the war. Production has decreased, business was languishing, new enterprises were not undertaken; instead of expansion there was curtailment and our streets were filled with the unemployed. It was estimated that in the city of New York over 300,000 were out of work. Throughout the country the jobless demanded relief. "It is plain that we must have protective, upbuilding policies. It is idle to look for relief to the Democratic party, which as late as 1912 declared in its platform that it was a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal government under the constitution, had no right or power to impose or collect tariff duties except or the purpose of revenue. We are told in its present platform that there have been momentous changes in the past two years, and hence repudiating its former attitude the Democratic party now declares for a non-partisan tariff commission. Stands for Protection. "The Republican party stands for the principle of protection. We must apply that principle fairly, without abuses, in as scientific a manner as possible, and congress should be aided by the investigations of an expert body. We stand for-the safe guarding of our economic independence, for the development of American industry, for the maintenance of American standards of living. We propose that in the competitive struggle that is about to come the American work ingman shall not suffer." Favors Votes for Women. Mr. Hughes came out unqualifiedly for votes for women. He concluded as follows: "We live in a fateful hour. In a true sense the contest for the preservation of the nation is never ended. We must still be imbued with the spirit of heroic sacrifice which gave us our country and brought us safely through the days of civil war. We renew our pledge to the ancient ideals of individual liberty, of opportunity denied to none because of race or creed of unswerving loyalty. We have a vision of America prepared and secure; strong and just, equal to her tasks, an exemplar of the capacity and efficiency of a free people. I indorse the platform adopted by the convention and accept the nomination." AID CITY WORKERS New York Enlarges Studies For Municipal Employees. AIM IS TO IMPROVE THEM. Success of Experiment Results In Organization of a Great Continuation School at City College For Those Who Wish to Advance Themselves. New York.—An advisory board was recently organized here to take part in the direction of courses at the College of the City of New York, of which Dr. Sidney E. Mezes is president, to train young men for the municipal service. The following men were appointed by Mayor Mitchel to serve on the newly created advisory board: Alfred D. Flinn, deputy chief engineer of the board of water supply; Michael Friedsam, well known in the mercantile world; Public Service Commissioner Henry W. Hodge, Curt G. Pfeiffer, Civil Service Commissioner Henry Moskowitz, President Charles Straus of the PETER H. HARRIS Photo by American Press Association. DR. SIDNEY E.

In the last four years the City college has granted special student privileges to persons in the city employ, with the view to improving the efficiency of the municipal service and aiding individuals to advance. Last year the experiment was made, in cooperation with New York university, of conducting special courses for those in the city service in the municipal building. The success of the experiment last year influenced the mayor to appoint the advisory committee and lay plans to organize a great continuation school which will aim to improve all those in the service who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity and to stimulate men to study for advancement in the city employ. SORRY $54,923.15 WORTH. Last Year's Conscience Fund Breaks All Records. Washington. — Contributions to the treasury's conscience fund for the fiscal year ending June 30 amounted to $54,923.15, making a total of $498,763.54 returned by persons made uneasy by frauds against the government. Figures compiled at the treasury department show the returns were much larger during the past year than ever before, chiefly because of two contributions, one for $30,000 and one for $10,000. It was in 1811 when the first $5 came with a letter saying the writer had taken that amount from the government. It is an unwritten law of the department that no effort shall be made to learn the identity of these contributors, and even where the writer has confessed to theft the money has been accepted and no effort made to prosecute. From 1811 until 1827 there were no receipts. Since then, except for 1848, not a year has passed without amounts coming in. SOLDIER FUGITIVE PARDONED Kentuckian Says He's Now a Corporal in United States Army. Frankfort, Ky.—A fugitive for twenty years, Milton Franklin, under sentence of life imprisonment, was pardoned recently by Governor Stanley a few hours after he had appeared at the Frankfort reformatory and surrendered to Warden Wells. Franklin was convicted of murder in the Floyd county court twenty years ago. He escaped from the Johnson county jail, where he was held pending an appeal. According to the story he told reformatory officials, he enlisted in the United States army soon after his escape and is now a corporal stationed at Columbus, O.. on recruiting duty. Wed When Two Steamers Met Wed When Two Steamers Met. Dawson, Yukon.—Miss Cassie Henderson, daughter of Robert Henderson, discoverer of the Yukon, was married on the steamer Casca when twelve miles above Dawson. The bridegroom was Irvine Crowther, employed with the Yukon Gold company on one of its dredges on Bonanza. Mr. Crowther and the Rev. Mr. Ross went up the river in the launch Reindeer, and the wedding took place immediately after the boats met. Hartford (Conn.) Lads Promptly Aroused at 5:30 Every Morning ing by Pet Bird. Hartford, Conn.—Herbert and Steward Carlson, brothers, are paper carriers in South Manchester and in order to get the papers around in time it is necessary for them to arise each morning at 5:30 o'clock. Ordinarily an alarm clock would be necessary to get them out, but they have a better method. They are called each morning by a pigeon. About a year ago Steward Carlson found a pigeon that had met with an accident. It was only a squab. Its wing seemed to be broken and one leg was damaged. The boy took it home, gave it attention and the wing grew stronger, the leg improved and after awhile it learned to fly. Instead of flying away it remained in the neighborhood and became a chum of the boys in the territory. The pigeon must have noticed the two boys leaving the house each morning about 5:30 o'clock and appointed itself an alarm clock. Every morning now, just at 5:30, the pigeon leaves its coop, files to the window of the room in which the boys sleep and coos and pecks at the screen until they awake. THIS SCHOOL IS RUN LIKE BASEBALL LEAGUE Four Classes Vie to Win Games and Maintain Batting Averages by Getting High Grades. Fort Dodge, Ia.—The following formula has been instituted in the high school here for a new game of baseball played with students and textbooks and recitations: One recitation group equals one ball player. One high school class equals one ball team. One day's recitation equals one inning. One week's work equals one game. Average of grades made by the different recitation groups equals batting averages of the individual players. Class with highest averages wins inning. It is the result of studies in motivation for high school work undertaken by W. H. Blakely, principal, and is printed in a current issue of the School Review, published by the University of Chicago Press. Mr. Blakely has 400 boys and girls engaged in an opening series of games between the four classes. The students and teachers both are said to be very enthusiastic about the scheme. The work of figuring the averages and the standing of the teams and their members is left to the arithmetic classes of the commercial department. The bookkeeping classes keep records, and typewriting classes publish the reports and scores. LEFT HAMDED CHAIRS MADE. Students In Kansas University to Get Seats For Their Convenience. Lawrence, Kan.-Left handed students in Kansas university will have seats made for their special convenience when the classrooms are opened next fall. John M. Shea, superintendent at the university, announced that five dozen left handed chairs had been ordered from a Grand Rapids machine firm and that they will be distributed as needed among the classrooms. The difference between the new chairs and those previously used is that the arms are on the left side instead of on the right side. The company that made the chairs had never received a similar order, Mr. Shea said. HONEYMOON RIDE COSTLY. Detroit Bridegroom Gets Into Cell For Speeding In New York. New York.—Thirty miles an hour in Detroit may not seem as fast as thirty miles an hour in New York, especially when the driver of the automobile be on his honeymoon. William Berman, a wealthy real estate operator, married recently in Detroit, found this out when he was arrested at Twenty-third street and Fifth avenue for speeding and also learned that the mention of Henry Ford as your friend falls to impress New York cops. At the West Twentieth street station he lacked $50 of the $500 ball required, so he spent two hours in a cell until a friend put up the money. AUTO OWNER NO DISTINCTION More Gold Watches and Pianos In One Kansas County. Troy, Kan.—Owning a motor car is not the only way in which to gain distinction in Doniphan county. You can achieve almost the same exclusiveness by owning a gold watch, a piano or four dogs. Although there are only 506 autos in the county, there are just 508 gold watches—that is, according to the assessors' reports, and 551 pianos. Ring on a Radish. Tiffin, O.—Four years ago Mrs. W. H.

Though we were a little prejudiced,” he adds, “against the thought that it could be possible that this metal should be so promiscu- ously and universally mingled with common earth, yet we endeavored to cleanse and wash the earth from some of it, and the more we did the more it appeared like gold. In order to be fur- ther satisfied I brought away some of it, which we lost in’ our confusion in China.” a ‘There were nine earths, according to medieval cosmogony, nine heavens, nine rivers of hell and nine orders of angels. The number being perfection since it represented divinity was of- ten used to signify a great quantity, as in the phrases, “A nine days’ won- der,” “A cat has nine lives” and “Nine tailors make a man.” In Scotland a distempered cow was cured by wash- ing her in nine surfs.

The professor guzed and, nothing daunted, stooped and plucked the horns from the head of the reptile wriggling at his feet, remarking to a bystander that the man would prob- ably think twice before trying to palm off upon any one else a harmless snake as a cerastes by the ald of a couple of fish bones. With anybody else the charmer would probably have succeed- ed. He had tried it on the wrong man. Attar of Roses. Attar of roses, by common consent, ranks at the head of the list of per- fumes.

Hon. Julius Johnson of Moline, Illinois, Republican candidate for the nomination for Auditor of Public Accounts for this state was born in this grand old state, April 18, 1871, at Lynn, Henry county, where his highly respected and honored parents who were among the early Swedish settlers, still reside. He received his early education in the public schools of his native town, later on in life attending Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois, after rounding out his education he returned to farming for several years and in time he became actively interested in a newspaper and in large manufacturing industries at Moline, Illinois. From time to time he has held various responsible positions in the office of Secretary of State, the State Treasurer, the State Insurance Department and other branches of the state service, therefore he is thoroughly familiar with the business of the various state offices and departments, having a wide acquaintance in all parts of this state and in every way he is just the man to nominate for Auditor of Public Accounts. For more than twenty years he has worked very hard for the success of the Republican party at all times, but this is the first time that he has been a candidate for an elective office and from every point of view he is more PALMER'S SERVANT LEAVES MACOUPIN. Took Care of General in War Time—Goes to Soldiers Home. Carlinville, Illinois.—Martin Taylor has gone to the Quincy Soldiers' Home. Martin Taylor was the body servant of Brigadier General John M. Palmer before Corinth, Miss. The general became stricken from pneumonia while in active command of his troops. The faithful Colored man brought General Palmer home to Carlinville, where he remained as a servant in the Palmer family. He is the hero of the folk-story, "Banty Jim," published in war times by John Hay, secretary of Abraham Lincoln. The old "black laws" were still on the statutes of this state but not enforced. Some over-zalous citizens took their enforcement into their own hands and early one morning they came to the residence of the general to take his servant, and remove him from the state. An indictment setting forth these obsolete laws was found against General Palmer for bringing Taylor into the state. As described in "Banty Jim," force was met with force and slavery in Illinois was driven forth forever.

Mr. Johnson is happily married and he and Mrs. Johnson are the proud parents of two bright and interesting children, they are devoted members of the Lutheran Church and they reside in a lovely home at Moline. Mr. Johnson is a prominent member of many fraternal and benevolent organizations, he is also a member of the Hamilton Club of this city. In his race for the nomination for Auditor of Public Accounts he has so far visited 75 counties out of the hundred and one counties in this state and he will visit the other 26 counties before he ends his campaign. He has traveled thousands of miles by auto, thereby enabling him to come in close contact with the voters. The Swedish American Republican League of Illinois at its meeting at Peoria the first part of last March, 443 delegates present and voting highly endorsed him for the position he is seeking. Shortly after the middle of August Mr. Johnson will spend the most of his time from that time on until the close of the state wide primaries in Chicago, in an effort to meet thousands of its voters face to face whom he believes will greatly assist in putting him over the plate Wednesday, September 13th, for Auditor of Public Accounts for the great state of Illinois.

Funeral and Burial of LAWRENCE WILLIAMS DePRIEST Mayor William Hale Thompson, Congressman Martin B. Madden, State Senator Samuel A. Ettelson and Many Other Prominent Citizens Attended the Services at the Grace Presbyterian Church The entire south side was shocked, then thrown into tears Friday morning of last week when the news came that Lawrence Williams DePriest, eldest son of Alderman and Mrs. Oscar DePriest, had drowned in Lake Michigan at the foot of East 34th Street. Lawrence, as was his custom, had gone to the beach for his daily swim. An expert swimmer, he had braved the deep water for a distance of 75 feet out, but when he started the return trip he was stricken with cramps—the dread of all swimmers—and despite the assistance of his chum Robert Anderson, was carried beneath the water and to his death. Unfortunately, all the swimmers present were youngsters and most of them inexperienced in such a situation, and it was only after repeated efforts by Francis McCormick and others, covering an hour's time that the body was brought to the surface. A pulmotor was at once put into service but to no avail. The body was taken to R. W. Green's morgue. Meanwhile frantic efforts were being made to locate Alderman DePriest who was finally found in the office of Mayor Thompson in conference. Mrs. DePriest had gone down town on a shopping tour and only learned the dreadful news when she returned to her home. Utterly prostrated, her grief and suffering were indeed heartrending. Like wildfire the doleful news spread over the city and the bereaved home was soon besieged by tearful, heavy-hearted friends, extending to the stricken family sympathetic offerings of condolence. From Friday to Monday morning a continual stream of weeping friends came to the saddened home. Men, women and children of every walk in life came to the bier of Lawrence, the beloved, a fitting testimonial of the splendid, upright, though short life he had lived. Mothers and fathers spoke of his manliness and politeness; boys and girls testified to his good nature and friendliness. By Sunday evening 'the home was a bower of beautiful FORMER MAYOR CARTER H.

THE PHOENIX The Phoenix, 31st and State is showing all the latest serial and other feature plays the same as the other houses. Mr. Gains says their clientele demand the very best on the market, and that that is what the management is trying to give them. That this effort is very much appreciated is attested by the fact that they do about as much business this hot weather as any of the remainder of the houses. Bert Williams appeared again last Tuesday in his famous "A Natural Born Gambler." Knocked them off their seats. The "Mysteries of Myra" on Wednesday was well attended, Thursday, the Walking the Dog contest was well received by those who care for that kind of stuff. Francis X. Bushman appeared in "The Girl at the Curtain, and on Sunday THEDA BARA in the "Eternal Sapho" packed the house. Many fans keep the place always cooler in than out. AT THE PICKFORD Here Mr. Rice is to be congratulated in his efforts to give his summer patrons the best on the market. No spirit of economy at the expense of the theatre-goers seems to have permeated the atmosphere there. "Twenty degrees cooler on the inside" is a fact there, and their ventilation is about as perfect as they make 'em. Their program for the coming week follows: Sunday, Aug. 6, Bessie Barriseale in "The Payment." Monday, Aug. 7. The Vitagraph presents "The Shop Girl" with Edith Storey and Antonio Moreno.

Possibly an overindulgence in fried chicken around at Mrs. Blacks restaurant had something to do with it. But the information given out at the States disclosed that Mr. Bailey's indisposition was due to a bad tooth. Here again, the evidence might be applied as above. The program for last week was such as: Chaplin in "The Vagabond," "The Cave of Despair," "The Iron Claw," "The Deserter," "The Eye of God," "Mutt and Jeff," and other pictures of equal mention. Always good pictures at this house. THE NEGRO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE The Negro Fellowship League will hold a conference on the Jackson Park Beach "Race riot," Sunday August 6th, at 4 P.

HEALTH, CLEANLINESS, PROPER LIVING, SANITATION, ETC. ey Dr. W. A. DRIVER 3300 So.'State Street Phode Dougla: 3617 SUNSTROKE. Sunstroke called heat exhaustion, in- soiation, thermic fever, heat stroke, country fever, Florida fever, ‘siriasis, and in the tropies called fievre inflam. matoire or Coup de Soleil is a disease produced by exposure to excessive heat. Iiext exhaustion and sunstroke are dif. ferent conditions, manifesting different symptoms. Heat exhaustion is due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especial- ly if it is combined with physical ex- crtion in an individual who is below the standard of moral health. What- ever interferes with the body functions predisposes the individual to the dan- ger of heat exhaustion. The use and abuse of alcoholic beverages such as beer, whiskey and the like is ackuowl- edged to incline those who are exposed to prolonged heat to the condition known as heat exhaustion. Overindul- gence in food, another form of intem- pearance is a predisposing factor in the production of heat stroke or heat ex- haustion. The symptoms are varied from restlessness to extreme prostration, collapse, unconsciousness, emotional ir- ritability, delirium and even violent insanity. It does not require the in- dividual to be exposed to the direct rays of the sun but the disease may manifest itself in the night or when in WALTER'S A. M. E. ZION CHURCH AND LOCAL NOTES. By Wm. J.

Sunstroke requires exposure to the rays of the sun and a body subnormal on account of errors of commission or of omission. Soldiers on the march with their heavy equipment are par. ticularly liable to suffer sunstroke. Teamsters and others who labor under the direct rays of the sun, particularly those who drink heat producing drinks and who disregard the rules of clean living are most" liable to suffer sun- stroke, Heat exhaustion often presents a subnormal temperature, as low. as 95 or 96 degrees Fahrenheit while in sun- stroke the temperature is high, as high as 110 degrees in severe cases. Death is sometimes instantaneous with symptoms of heart failure, difficult breathing and fainting. When con- sciousness returns and the temperature falls recovery is probable. The best treatment is preventive treatment. Eat little and drink no al- coholic drinks and avoid excessive heat artificial or natural. Take cold baths as often as is compatible with comfort even three times a day in the hot weather. Keep cool mentally and phys- ically. If the disease comes, apply cold wet cloths to the forehead and call the doctor as soon as possible. On to CH is »S the slogar of the women.

Stump Lands in Waco, Texas Waco, Texas—I am now numbered among the veterans, and it will now not be long before I will be in the his tories studied in the public schools and the children will all call me blessed ‘and the Lord will be willing to tell me a few things. It has been a question in my mind how people got their names in books and in history of the country, but never could find out until I had that battle back on my farm in Kansas with them bed bugs and their allies fleas and flies, but as I cleaned up, I could almost class myself with the Germans. I don’t know what I want to be, although I stood alone. I did not have any help at all until I got to Kansas City, and then it was only a woman. She put out of business the creeping thing and that was sufficient. I will soon have before my name either Col- onel or General Stump, and I will be some pumpkins then. Of course you know I have been riding since then, beeause I came right on into the south. You will rentember the days I spent in Jackson, Miss., attending the session of the Baptist State -convention, which was presided over by Dr. A. M. Johnson, of Vieks- burg, Miss. Now that was the regular Baptist convention. Don’t know when I have seen so many people together. They were there from all parts of the State, and were there to transact business as I told you in my last letter. I think I told you what happened. I wish you could have seen Dr. E. P. Jones, how sick he looked when that thing was over. He was disap- pointed, and I tell you it is an awful thing to be disappointed. He made sure that them people were’ just going to fall all over themselves getting to him, but behold this was only a dream, because only a few followed him, and then after he had organized his con- vention, the old convention withdrew the hand of fellowship from him, and he had to go alone. This same thing was done from the Rev. Dr. G. W. Gayles one of the leaders, who was elected the president. I saw these people get organized, talked with the leaders for a while and then I turned my attention to leaving the town. It was a nice thing to be in the convention and to talk with them people and ‘them leaders. While I was in Jackson, I was doing some thinking. I thought of what Mississippi used to mean to the Masonic fraternity. I thought of them big grand masters, and all them big men, and then I thought of the death of Grand Master E. W. Lampton, and later the death of the Grand Lodge, so far as the Masonic Benefit Associa- tion was concerned. The grand lodge is still living with W. W. Phillips Grand Master. He is trying to pull it up again, and perhaps will be suc- ccssful. known by many that she was in the city. Those present enjoyed the talk she gave and we hope it will bear good fruit. They need more women to help the good work along. BOYS PUMPED WELL DRY. Wanted to See a Water Wheel Work and Left Their Play. Brazil, Ind.—Finding that surface water running into his well had made the water impure, a citizen of Brazil started to pump his well dry. After pumping half an hour in the hot sun. he gave up the job. ‘Then he -made a miniature water wheel, which he attached to the end of a trough. After he had attracted the attention of several boys who were playing on a vacant lot, he went to his work. When he returned in the even- ing the boys had pumped the well dry to see the wheel go round. MAINE GETS NATIONAL PARK. Reservation Comprises 5,000 Acres on Mount Desert Icland. Washington.—Creation of the first national park east of the Mississipp! river, comprising 5,000 acres on Mount geoct island, Maine, was announced Wy the interior department. It will be known as Sieur de Monts National monument. The tract was donated to the federal government. Its northern boundary is only a mile from Bar Harbor, and sev- eral popular summer resorts lie near it. There are ten mountain peaks and four lakes within the tract. Cuts Wheat at Night. Salina, Kan.—Frank Johnson, a wheat grower in this county, is ‘this Fear cutting wheat by electric light, using the filumination on the front of & large tractor, which pulls several binders. This is an innovation that is working satisfactorily. Haste is made necessary by the rapidly ripening wheat. ‘Then before the Knights and Daugb- ters of Tabor went to the wall, with Rev. A. A. Cosey as Chief Grand Men- tor, and they have not been able to pull up again. It was a strong juris- diction when it was living. But it is ® thing of the past now. But that is not all, just a few weeks ago, the grand lodge of Knight of Pythias had to close their doors, and Young Vadaman was appointed the receiver. He is go- ing to close out their affairs and then they will have to try to do some other kind of business. It is hard to see these things close out, because they will have a hard time. The Jakes and the Odd Fellows are still living and I hope that they may continue to live and do all the good they can for humanity. There are only two banks left in Mississippi now, and just a few years ago they had fourteen. They have some good insurance companies, and ‘they are going on to do business. They declare that they, will never go out of business, but will-go on and on to bless mankind.” They are going to be there to comfort the widows and orphans, and I hope that this will be done. Now I left Jackson, Miss., bright and early on Saturday morning and was in Dallas Texas Saturday evening, and that is doing some riding, believe me. Many people thought that it was im- possible, and I was thinking so too un- til it happened, and this is how it was done. I rode over the V. 8. & P., to Shreveport, and found the T. & P., there waiting for me. Well this con- nection was made, and at Marshall I made another change and at 7:30, I was in that Pythian Temple in Dallas. I spent Sunday in the city, the guest of Rev. Dr. J. F. Williams, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, and had the pleasure of preaching for him Sunday morning, and for Rev. J. 8. Ladelle Sunday night, and Monday morning found me right here in this town, for the meeting of the convention. ‘What I am trying to tell you is that I left there for Waco the place where I was when I started this letter, but I did not get through with it, and I took up this paragraph of it'in Helena, Ark., hence you see I have been doing some riding since I started to write to you. I am now unable to tell you how I felt in that town in Texas the place where the young man was burned at the stake a few weeks before, and it is still in the memory of the people. The White people tried to see just how nice they could be, except one conductor on the railroad and he forgot himself. I mean on the street car. He wanted to have a little fight with me, but I carried it up to the superintendent, and he thanked me for bringing it, and as- sured me that it would not happen again.

JACKSON OUR CANDIDATE FOR THE LEGISLATURE te erst nba It is necessary to place a Cross [X] in front of his name in addition to the Cross in the Party Circle. DO NOT FAIL TO DO SO! JACKSON, MAJOR R. R. (Representative, Republican) 435 East Thirty- seventh street, Chicago, was born in Malta, IlI., Sept. 1, 1870, and received his early education in the public and high schools of Chicago He obtained his early business training by working as a newspaper merchant. He sold papers at Harrison and State streets nearly forty years ago, and by this he was able to care for his grandmother for a number of years and at the same time attend school. He also worked as an elevator conductor. Jackson only used his ele- vator position, however, as a means to an end, because while in this position he met many of the leading men of the city. He took civil service examina. tion, made good marks and was oppointed to a clerkship, in the Chicago post- office, where he made a good record, serving twenty-one years. For twelve years Major Jackson served as assistant superintendent of Armour station, the highest position held by any member of his race in the Chicago postoffice sys- tem. He is a charter member of the Eighth regiment, national guard, and ie at the head of one of the largest printing establishments in Chicago. For a young man he has a splendid record asa soldier. During the Spanish-American war when the Eighth Illinois regiment was ordered to the field Major R. R. Jackson was ready for duty. He made many friends in Cuba and showed while there his military ability. Major Jackson was elected a member of the Ilinois legislature, and was seated just a short time before the legislature ad- journed sine die. He made good use of his opportunity. Immediately upon being seated in the house of representatives Speaker McKinley recognized his worth by appointing him on the following committees: Chicago charter, fra- ternal and mutual insurance, federal relations, military affairs, miscellaneous subjects and municipal courts of Chicago. The fiftieth anniversary of the ‘emancipation of the slaves claimed his attention. and he supported a bill ap- propriating $25,000 for that purpose, which went through without opposition, receiving a unanimous vote. PONY SAVES BOY’S LIFE. | . . ‘Master In Nebraska. Fairfield, Neb.—A pet pony ridden by Aubry Craft, son of Albert Craft, liv- ing north of this place, is believed to have saved the boy's life while he lay unconscious after’ an attack by a vi- elous bull. ‘When the boy failed to return after having gone for the cattle a search was started. He was found lying in the pasture, his face badly torn. He was unconscious. Near by was his pony. The tracks in the dirt showed the lt- tle animal had raced round and round the unconscious boy, keeping away the bull that bad attacked him. Later, when driven near the bull, the pony at- tempted to attack the animal. CAT DIVES FOR FROG. Bright Angora. Bangor, Me—Warren Clement of Milivale while at work in his hayfield heard a lot of splash in a pond near by and, thinking that perhaps a horse mackerel had got into the sheet of water, noiselessly approached the spot and was astonished, although he knew that he had one of the brightest cats in Maine, when he saw his pet Angora coon cat dive froma stump and disap- Dear in the water, only to reappear within a few seconds bearing a frog in its mouth. Depositing the now lifeless frog on the ground, the four footed coon gained ‘the stump again, crouched, another spring, another dive, another swim and another frog.

NOT SPOTTED BY OUTSIDERS. ‘Their Tailored Checked Suits, At- tractive Ties and Stylish Hats. Jefferson City.—The man who is re- leased from the Missouri penitentiary today does not have the appearance of the one who was berated a few years ago, and he is no longer spotted by the children in the town as an ex-convict. Instead of the suit of a dull brown mixture, the coarse shirts and the heavy, squeaking brogan shoes that marked him a few years ago, the pres- ent warden, D. C. McClung, has made It possible without additional expense to the state for the men to leave the prison in neat suits of fine checked pat- ‘terns, such as any man might select. ‘These suits are made to measure of cloth manufactured in the prison. And ‘In addition to these suits the freed con- ‘viet wears attractive shirts, pretty tles and stylish hats. “By careful buying Mr, McClung has ‘bought shirts that would retail at three or four times the price. Neat overcoats are given the men who go ont in cold weather. All this work comes under the head of the commis- sary department, which has undergone an overtauling. Carl MeClung, son of the warden, has taken the commissary out of a small dungeon of a room to a good, clean building that formerly was used as an overall factory. All the edibles and wearing apparel are kept in this building. Every plece of clothing, every bag of flour and every pound of ail stuffs used, is tiek- eted and can be checked up.

Mrs. French was among the first women who offered their serv- fees as nurses in the European war. She took up relief work in Servia, to which country her father, Walker Fearn, was at one time United States minister. Mrs. French had charge of one of the American hospitals in France and Stood alone on the banks of the Aisne ‘with shells bursting about her, watch- Ing an artillery duel between the Brit- ish and Germans. She says: “It was my good fortune to drive several staff officers to the lines in my car. As a result I saw a small slice of the battle of the Aisne. I could see shells bursting in the air, and sudden- ly the whole scene of the artillery duel spread before me from the high plateau on which I was standing. It was so exciting that the thought never oc- curred to me that I was in danger, and even when shrapnel burst a few hundred feet away I was so engrossed ‘with the spectacle that my own per- fon seemed wholly unimportant. Aft- erward I learned that the Germans could easily have hit me if they had wanted to.” FOR A CHILDREN’S PARTY. Hints to Help Mother and Also Please ‘Sn Vacnnntare, ene eee Be sure to have an abundant supply of wholesome, attractive drinks, Chil. dren are always thirsty after romping about. Chop all the fruits you use for the cakes, even the currants. In this way they don't upset the little “tummies.” Do not use carraway seeds or much candied peel. Most children do not like them. A supply of small individual sponge cakes, iced with chocolate and made in attractive shapes, are sure to be popu- lar and are quite wholesome. Keep the menu very plain, but deco- Fate lavishly and gasly. Food that Yooks pretty and party-like will de- Ught the little people, while the sim- ple, wholesome fare that leaves no after effects will make the mothers rise up and call you blessed. ‘Very thin sandwiches filled with sim- ple fillings und free from condiments ‘will be much appreciated, especially if cut in fancy shapes and garnished prettily. Let the party begin early and break up early. Put the time clearly in the invitations. If the tots are kept up much after thelr usual bedtime it means frazzled nerves with subse. Quent squabbles and tears to spoil the Joy of the evening. Fruit pastes, homemade fudge, plain taffies are the best candies, and an 01d fashioned candy pulling adds con- siderably to the pleasure. In warm weather an out of, doors marshmallow roast, corn popping and Peanut roast, accompanied with story telling, is an unfailing success. Cucumber Sticks.

Vivid Chat About the Very Latest Kinds of Waists. Many and varied are the lineg of the new blouses; possibly the most note- worthy feature is the peplum or skirt sections which are seen on many of fhe new models. To be sure, these peplumed blouses were introduced some time azo, but they have not at- tained the wide popularity which they would seem to deserve as pleasingly ‘different and affording splendid oppor- tunity for effective trimming. | New blouses of this type are of crape, taffeta and satin, and when in match- ing color with the separate skirt give the appearance of, smart dresses that eliminates one of the chief objections to separate blouses and skirts—that of giving the figure a cut in half look that fs disastrous to the average figure. ‘A very striking example of this pep- tum blouse is of taffeta, the wrist length sleeves set in at a drop shoul- der line; the peplum a straight gather- ed one about eighteen inches long and the sleeves and bodice generously trim- med with tiny buttons. Still another feature is the draped or hoodllke col- lar of the blouse material. Striped silk used on the bias is an- other fashion feature, and an interest- ing blouse made thus is finished as @ Dasque and is to be worn without a belt or girdle. Most of the dressy washable blouses and many of the ailk and crape ones are enhanced by effee- tive hand embroidery, for the vogue of this attractive trimming is now as- sured. Sleeves are long of short as one pre fers in dresses and blouses and set into regulation extended or drop shoulder armholes, so you see fashion is kind Just now and does not restrict us to one and only one style. Probably there will not be a narrowing of new fash- fon features, such as was the case a few years azo. Women do not lke to be dressed like an aggregation of twins, and we have come to know that there {fs not one particular fashion that suits ‘us all to perfection. z NEW MODEL OUT.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS. ‘An Expert Tells Mothers How to Avoid ‘anil Prevent This Soouran. ‘The following statement was issued recently by Dr. Charles F. Bolduan, di- rector of the bureau of public bealth education of New York city: “Infantile paralysis is caused by a ‘very small germ, perhaps the smallest germ known, entering the brain and spinal cord of little children. The germ probably gets in through the nose or mouth. It is important to Keep your children away from those who have the disease and also away from the other members of the family in ‘which the case has developed. “The reason for this is that the germ 4s in the nose and throat of the patient and frequently is carried there by oth- ers in the household. “Read the list of addresses where the Gisease has occurred and which are published in the newspapers, and keep away from the infected houses. “Every mother should keep her chil- dren about her much as a ben looks after her little chicks. It 1s dangerous to let children attend parties and fest!- vals and to take them into crowds ‘Where they may sit alongside of some Person who has the germs in his or her nose. “Since the germs are so very small and may be present on the hands or the face or solled handkerchiefs, even when there is no visible dirt, the ut- most cleanliness is necessary. See that the hands and the faces of your chil- Gren are kept absolutely clean. Soap and water, after all, are the greatest foes of all disease. “Clean up your house. Throw away all useless rubbish.

One stormy day it was dreary for him. No children came in to hear him play. He had an old, old violin. He knew nothing about this violin, except that it was willed to him at the death of an old friend of bis father's. He loved the instrument dearly and often won- dered where it had come from. To soothe his restlesw spirit he decided to play. He had no sooner taken the precious instrument when that same thought came to him asain. “Where did that violin come from’ and what is its his- tory?” . He played. " His thoughts were tar off. As his fingers wandered over the strings sad and sweet, wild and tri- umphant notes came forth. ~ ‘They told of a youth who had loved that violin dearly, who had often soothed a little old mother’s heart with its touching music. ‘Then came wild clashing notes, tell- ing of war; then sobbing, plaintive tones of the little mother left behind. But, bravely shouldering his gun, the young man went forth. At the last moment he turned back to take with him his beloved violin. After a lonely and patient year of waiting the mother received back not her son, but the violin he had loved. ‘His faithful comrade brought it and told of his dying a hero and how he bad also comforted and inspired others with his glorious music. Sobbing over her lost son, yet proud of him, the little old mother passed away, giving to the faithful comrade the beloved instrument. At last sunshine and happy Uttle faces peeped in the window. The old violinist laid his violin carefully away and told the children the “Violin’s Wit and Wisdom. Why is a stick of candy Iike a horse? ‘The more you lick it the faster it goes. Difference between an auction and seasickness? One fs the sale of effects, the other the effects of a sail. ‘Why 1s the letter A like 12 o'clock?

Take selected currants of large size, one by one, and with tiny embroidery scissors carefully cut the skin on one side, making a slit one-fourth an inch or less in length. ‘Through this with a sharp needle remove the seeds, one at a time, to preserve the shape of the currant. Take the weight of the cur- rants in strained honey and when hot add the currants. Let simmer two or three minutes, then seal as jelly. If the juice of the currants liquify the honey too much c:irefully skim out the currants and reduce the sirup at a gentle simmer to the desired con- sistency, then replace the currants and store as above. ‘The following recipe is’ less work, but gives a nice preserve: Get the largest size currants, red or white, and stem them without breaking. To each pound allow three pounds of sugar. Take some ordinary currants and bruise them while warm until you have a pint of juice. Put half a cupful of this into a porcelain kettle and three pounds of suza". Bring slowly to a boll and skim carefully. After bolling five minutes drop in very care- fully one pound of the large currants and let simmer four minutes. Take them out without breaking them and Doll the sirup down five minutes or longer if not very thick, as the cur rants are sometimes less juicy than at others, A few minutes more will be needed at one time tan another, When thick skim well and strain through a hot cloth over the fruit. Put into lit- le jelly glasses and when cold cover ‘as in jelly making. PAPER ROPE FOR WEAVING. ists This Summer. Raffia and reed have long been pop- ular for weaving. but now give way to the more practical material—paper ropes. In using this article all neces- sity of wetting avd singeing disap- Pears. It is soft nnd therefore easy on the hands. The lenzths are greater, minimizing the need of continual plec- ing, and the possibilities in color com- Dination make it far thore adaptable. Dainty blue rooms, pink rooms, yellow or violet rooms may haye woven waste- baskets, lamps and even whole desk and bureau sets of matching color. A soft finish is often preferred, but if something more durable is desired a coat or two of shellac will produce a hard, glossy finish that will stand any amount of wear. The shellae.will keep the basket in shape and will shed dust. It makes no difference how intricate the chosen shape may be, baskets can be made in curved lines or straight. with sharp angles or tapering lines. ‘This is because the foundation is of wire—easy to bend, yet strong ongee® to hold a shape once formed. baskets are offen uneven when finish- ed, for the material is springy and the spokes vary in flexibility.

Some of them are striped and others have clocks of bright color. Picturesque are the frocks with the skirt trimmed with narrow upstanding frills that are finished at the bottom with narrow ribbon. THE NEW FREEZER Ice Cream as It Should Be Made In Your Home. FOOD VALUE OF IT IS GREAT. A Domestic Science Expert Talks About the Substitutes For This Hot Weather Delicacy—The Real Thing Dishes Out Quite Different From Gelatinous Mixtures. ‘The government standard calls for ‘an ice cream made of cream, sugar and flavoring and containing from 12 to 14 per cent of butter fat. Since cream itself averages about 20 per cent of fat and may have as much as 40, this would not seem unreasonable, but many there be who consider ice cream, made of cream, to be the dream of an idealist and too rich for the average taste and digestion. If you don't want a straight ice cream, well and good. If a frozen cus- tard, a sherbet or a cornstarch pudding 1s preferred, have it, but buy it and, incidentally, pay for it under its own name. Don't call it ice cream. Let ice cream be sold as such to pre- vent fraud, that the invalid, the con- valescent and the child may not get something they should not have, and that every one may know what he is eating. For true ice cream is a sub- stantial food; it 1s not merely a frozen dainty for topping off a meal. With 6 per cent of tissue building protein from the milk—and the best kind of protein at that—1é per cent of fat, also of the most approved quality, about 16 per cent of sugar and with an energy ‘Value almost equal to that of brown bread, weight for weight, the food value of ice cream {s not to be over- looked. Of course if one wants a sturdy, companionable product, one that will ‘ait about sociably with the family on a warm summer evening and show no disposition to run away, then a starch- gum-gelatin mixture, with just enough milk and flavoring to give it character, is just the thing, but it isn’t ice cream. ‘While various dangers threaten ice cream, the most serious are those due to the use of carelessly handled cream containing disease organisms or strep- tococe!, the melting and refreezing of the product and {ts manufacture or storage in uncleanly, insanitary places. ‘We cannot depend upon the freezing nor even upon pasteurization to de- stroy the toxins produced by organisms in the milk, even if the bacteria them- selves are Killed. ‘Typical illness mark- @@ by colic, headache, depression and diarrhea has been traced to the pres- ence of colon bacilli, acquired during the process of manufacture while the mixture cooled in an insanitary place. It 1s a good plan to know your ice cream maker like a brother or to make it yourself. And obviousty the children should be warned against the ice cream cone and the wayside stand that so appeal to their vagrant hearts and fearless stomachs, cruel as such @ pre- caution may seem. After the third or fourth year chil- dren may be cautiously iptroduced to plain vanilla cream. small amounts at ‘weekly intervals being given.

Our medieval forefathers were quite accustomed to women workers in many of the trades which in our pre-war days were closed to women. Chaucer and Langland use many words with characteristic feminine suffixes, which indicate the trades then open to them. as, for instance, baxteres (female bak. ers) and souteresse (female shoemaker). ‘There were also female candle makers, wigmakers and bookbinders, and in the Act of 1454 (88 Hen, VI., ¢. 5) com- plaints are noticed of the women silk manufacturers of Londan against the Lombard merchants.

Some persons are totally lacking in color sense—taste in colors. to put it aifferently. In other respects they are quite normal persons and often, of course, get far ahead of those with the keen color taste. Other persons lack appreciation, taste, in other re spects. Usually appreciation or taste ean be trained, although sometimes color or music appreciation is utterly lacking. The time to begin to train is with very young children, The place fs the home: If a child brought op tn s tasteful home it will unconsciously grow up with a cultivated taste. In addition, of course. it is well to note the child's individuality. If it seems dull to music. painting, color, form, help develop its taste along these par- ticular lines. A house, to be the ideal environ- ment for 2 growing child, should be beautiful, of course, but it should have the beauty of simplicity and find the beauty in its surroundings without de- pending on elaborate furnishings. Perhaps the best way to train a child’s taste, if the child seems rather hopelessly deficient, is to let him work things according to his own ideas for a little while. If a little girl likes gandy colors, let her have a frock of a gaudy color, which she herself choos- es. She will, the chances are, soon tire of it. If the small boy likes impossible ornaments and hangings in his room. Igt him have them. Not only will he himself dislike them soon enough, but his friends will doubtless make fun of them, and so they will become intol- erable to him. ‘Once there was a boy of nine or ten years who chose for the wall paper of his room a dainty design with pink background upon which there were medallions slowing little French maids in all their finery. His mother remon- strated with lim, telling him his choice was not boyish, that it was babyish, @ nursery paper, or at best one for 2 Yery little cirl. But he wanted that Paper, and he got it. It had not been on his wall vers long before he re- alized his mistake. Of course he bad to put up with it for months, but its presence there taught him a lesson in interior decorating he never forgot. EASY WAY TO CLEAN SILVER. ‘This May Help You to Save Your E!- bow Grease. A simple way to clean discolored silver fs to put a quarter of a pound of sal soda into a gallon of water. Place this on the stove and let it come to 2 boll. When at boiling heat dip in the Pleces of silver, one by one, taking each out quickly. Wash in soapsuds and dry with a soft. clean cloth. This method takes about one-quarter of the time consumed by polishing. Silver spoons or forks may be ket brightest if they are left for several hours in strong borax water. Silver that fs frequently washed with amz0- nia water will need cleaning less often. Silver teapots, being seldom in con- stant use, are very likely to becoue moldy. They can. however, be kept ia perfectly good condition if, after wash- ing and’ drying them thoroughly, @ Tump of sugar is placed inside. The sugar absorbs the dampness and keeps the teapot sweet and fresh. Silverware should always be kept bY ftzelf and wrapped in tissue paper. each piece separately. Silver dress trimmings may be cles2- ed by covering with magnesia ant leaving for two hours. Giddy Towels.

Happily the shark has not been gifted with sufficient sagacity to be aware of this peculiarity, for had he been so he would: unquestionably abendon his habit of swimming close to the surface of the water and would in that case be enabled to approach his victim unobserved. ‘The shark is a slow swimmer for his size and strength. Byron observes, “As darts the dolphin from the shark.” But Byron was a poet and does not appear to have been a close observer of the habits of in- habitants of the water or he woul have known that a shark would have no more chance of catching a dolphin than a sheep would of overhauling a bare. Cin dt Pink ie Good manners, like the gold at the foundation of all money, are current the world over. Emerson noted this: “Give a boy dress and accomplish. ‘ments and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes wherever he goes. He has not the trouble to earn or own them; they solicit him to enter and possess.” “all your Greek,” Chesterfield wrote to his son, “can never advance you from secretary to envoy or from envoy to ambassador, but your address, your atr, your manner, if good, may.” “The difference between a well bred and il] bred man is this,” Samuel John- son said, “one immediately attracts your attention, the other your aversion. ‘You love oue until you find reason to hate him; you hate the other until you find reason to love him.” Civility, polished manners, mean much to a youth in his first position, Cites Gees.

A Phrase Exoleined. Medicus tells us that it makes him mad whenever he sees some writer us ing the old southern phrase “the spit an’ image” without showing any know!- edge of what it means. Medicus says that he has even seen it spelled thus: “The spittin’ image.” So we have seen in the works of an English novelist: “He's the spit and image of his fa ther, as they say in America.” And an American short story writer makes a negro character say: “Yassuh. He's de spittin’ image of his ma.” The phrase was originally “the spirit and mage,” explains Medicus. Of course that means that one person is both mentally and physically like an- other. Southern people are careless about their rs. so the phrase became “the spit an’ image” and “the spittin’ image."—Lonisville Courier-Journal.

San Diego, Cal., has a wonderful clock with twenty dials, which tell the time simultaneously in all parts of the world, also the days of the week and the date and month.

"If you were lost in a desert or in a forest and tried to find your way out," says a well known scientist, "you would be almost sure to walk in a circle." This well known fact is due to a slight inequality in the length of the legs. Careful measurements of a series of skeletons have shown that only 10 per cent had the lower limbs equal in length, 35 per cent had the right limb longer than the left, while in 55 per cent the left limb was the longer. The result of one limb being longer than the other will naturally be that a person will unconsciously take a longer step with the longer limb, and consequently will trend to the right or left, according as the left or right leg is the longer. The left leg being more frequently should take place more frequently to the right than to the left, and this conclusion is quite borne out by observations made on a number of persons when walking blindfolded. The inequality in the length of limb is not confined to any sex or race, but seems to be universal in all respects. Courtesy In Business Pays. In the American Magazine is a story by Fred C. Kelly to prove that courtesy in business pays. It has to do with George C. Boldt, manager of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York city and former manager of a Philadelphia hostelry. "One night when all the hotels in Philadelphia were crowded and it was almost impossible to obtain a room a man and his wife drove up to Boldt's hotel and asked in a tone of despair if he could not give them a place to sleep. "Yes. Boldt told them; 'you can take my room. That's all I have' "The next morning the guest told Boldt that a manager with his sense of courtesy would be an assured success in a much larger hotel. "And, added the guest, 'I'm willing to provide you with the hotel.' "Since then that same guest has invested many millions of dollars in hotels under Boldt's direction. The guest was William Waldorf Astor." The Silver Fox. The silver fox is, really a black fox, instead, as some persons suppose, of being almost white or a silver gray. The name is given on account of the presence of glistening white and grayish hairs which appear among the black. In the better grades the long, silky brush has a tip of pure white. About a quarter of a century ago the little animal, which weighs when full grown only about twelve pounds, became almost extinct. Because of the beauty of its fur the species was trapped until almost the last of them had disappeared. For a long time the standard price offered by the Hudson Bay company for silver fox pelts was around $1,000, and the efforts of the French Canadians, half breeds and Indian trappers to obtain this sum, to them a fortune, can be better imagined than described.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Curious Recruiting Custom. The Russian army in the early part of the nineteenth century had a curious way of raising troops. A levy of two to four men out of every 500 were selected and then medically examined at the army's headquarters, either at Moscow or St. Petersburg (now Petrograd). If the recruit successfully passed he was then turned over to an officer, who saw to it that he was correctly measured and, if the proper height, was sent into another apartment, where the front part of his head was shaved. If rejected as being medically unfit or short of the necessary height the back part of his head was then shorn of its locks to prevent him from appearing again among new brides. Grocer—Yes, ma'am; that's the way it comes. Mrs. Newed—Well, I don't want any of it. I'm not going to pay for a pound of cheese that contains a half pound of beans! "I am glad to say," remarked Mr. Sockton, "that I never spoke a hasty word to you." COST A DIAMOND FOR EACH TIME JILTED Youth Has Only Three Remaining of Original Seven In Locket—Hopes to Find a True Lover. Kansas City, Mo.—A well dressed young man walked into a loan office here. He brought forth his pocketbook and paid the interest on money he had borrowed on a locket. Then he asked Frank Nevin, apprasier, to be allowed to see the trinket. Nevin produced it. The young man examined it and grew confidential. "That socket," he said, "represents four love affairs gone astray. You will notice four of the seven diamonds with which it was originally set are missing. It was four years ago that I became engaged the first time. The girl suggested I take a diamond from the locket for our engagement ring. I have been engaged three times since, and every time I have used one of the diamonds. The girls have broken their engagements and then kept the ring. "You see these three remaining stones? I hope to be able to find a girl that will keep her promise before they are all gone."

The cafes and motion picture houses are well attended, and the theaters are crowded. Recently there was a big first night in the Petit Champs, the occasion being the performance of a French comedy. The actors were Turks, but the actresses were all Armenians, as Turkish women are not yet permitted to appear on the stage, but the general opinion is expressed by all thinking Turks that before long their women will make their first appearance as actresses. The emancipation of women in Turkey has made remarkable progress since the beginning of the war. In the best society in Constantinople the women no longer wear their vells when receiving their guests. Though vells continue to be worn by the Turkish women in the street, still the fashion has made them so dimsy and transparent that they might just as well be dispensed with. Consequently all the fascination and mystery that heretofore has surrounded the harem has suddenly disappeared. There is no longer any such thing, and in its place there is simply the usual family life. The Turkish woman is as much a housewife as her European sister, and in this war her resources have been taxed to the utmost. Despite the fact that the rich agricultural country of Anatolia is not far distant, the prices of all necessaryes of life have increased enormously. Turkey has awakened from its long lethargy, and the war has brought a new life in the empire. Progress is now the keynote, and the indications are that within a few years Constantinople will be one of the most advanced cities in the world. WOMEN NOT REAL ANGLERS New York Commissioner Pratt, Therefore, Would Let 'Em Fish Free. Albany, N. Y.—"Women," says Conservation Commissioner Pratt, "do not constitute a factor of importance in the fishing situation." Therefore Mr. Pratt recommends that the fair sex, as are children under sixteen years of age, be exempt from the provisions of his bill to compel fishermen to take out an annual license costing $1.10. "It is not desired," he adds, "to put any burden upon these young fishermen." Under the bill a license is not required to catch suckers, bullheads, carp or other plebeian fish, but to catch fish propagated by the state the $1.10 fee must be paid.

'Phone Randolph 803 Honolulu.—The reforestation or now barren Kahoolawe island, in the Hawaiian group, is the proposition the territorial board of agriculture, the members of which, after a visit to the small islet heretofore designated unsuitable for settlement, decided to begin the work of planting algaroba trees there. It is recommended a portion of the island swept by the strong trade winds be fenced to prevent depredations by sheep and wild goats. Members of the board say the introduction of horses on the island would assist in the distribution of seed. It is also proposed to construct several large reservoirs to conserve the rainwater that falls so plentifully at all times. Algaroba trees planted there ten years ago have reached a substantial growth. COLORS EMPLOYED ON FARM. Barnhart Tells How He Made the Whole Place Yellow and White. Reading, Pa.—Henry A. Barnhart of Indiana told the committee of the state board of agriculture, in session here, of his efforts in behalf of the artistic side of farming. He illustrated this by citing that his big barns and outbuildings are all painted yellow, with white trimmings; the farmhouse is painted white, with yellow trimmings; the cattle have the same yellow color, because they are Guernseys; not a horse is used except he is yellow and has a white mark on his head and white feet. The shepherd dog is yellow, with a white band around his neck; there are yellow colored chickens, yellow colored squirrels, the place being known as the "Color Scheme Farm of Indiana."

When Twins Came Along He Asked For License, Which Was Granted. Olympia, Wash.—A man in Vancouver has a motor driven baby carriage and has applied to the secretary of state for a license to operate it. He wrote as follows: "A short time ago I took out a license for a motor attachment for a bicycle, and now I want to transfer that motor to a baby carriage that I purchased when twins were born into my family. May I do this without taking out a new license?" I. M. Howell, secretary of state, in his reply to the proud though anxious father replied that the transfer would be allowed. Cheapest Light and Fuel Cheapest Light and Fuel The U.S. Bureau of Standards announces, in an official bulletin, that the mantle gas light is the cheapest of all house lights. The Bureau's tests show that the antiquated flat flame burner uses up five times as much gas as the mantle burner to produce the same amount of light. The tests also show, that for the same amount of light, flat flame lighting costs about four times as much as mantle lighting, including cost of mantles. Since "candle power" is useless in mantle lighting, isn't it perfectly plain that the most economical household would save money with "heat unit" gas and mantles for all lighting? And since "heat unit" gas would be more economical than "candle power" gas for cooking and all heating purposes, what reason remains for retaining "candle power" gas in Chicago. Talk to your Alderman about this. ---
