Wastefulness—in any form—has no place in American life today. If our food supply is to be adequately conserved, it means that former luxuries must be discarded and that everyone must give up something—even to the point of sacrifice. This Winter there will be an unprecedented demand for fuels of all sorts—and with coal scarce—we ask all users of Gas Service to cooperate with us by observing the greatest possible economy in the heating of your homes. We ask that you use no more Gas Service than is actually needed to keep a uniform healthful temperature, and during the extremely cold weather we suggest that the heat be confined to two or three rooms. There may be periods of short duration during the coming Winter when all the demands for Gas Service cannot be met, but if all of our customers will co-operate to the extent of eliminating unnecessary heat, serious inconveniences can be avoided.

HASKELL'S New Year's Message to the Christians Particularly of Cleveland, O. Columbus, O., Jan. 4, 1918. Hon. Henry C. Smith, Editor Garrett Dear Mr. Smith:—The Gazette is very much appreciated. You certainly are having some time with those Cleveland preachers. I glory in your spank—to defend yourself and the Christian ministry from reproach. You can be depended on to "clear the atmosphere." All Christians should give you not only their moral support but also their work. One thing that I would place in every Negro's hand, with the bible, is "The Old Reliable" Gazette, which I shall always do in whatever degree the opportunity affords. Wishing you a prosperous and happy New Year, I am. LYNCHINGS IN 32 YEARS The annual number of lynchings in this country during the last thirty-two years, will be of interest to those who are making a special study of the subject: e 1885 | 181 | 1902 | 96 - 1886 | 138 | 1903 | 104 - 1887 | 122 | 1904 | 87 - 1888 | 142 | 1905 | 60 - 1889 | 176 | 1906 | 60 - 1890 | 127 | 1907 | 65 - 1891 | 191 | 1908 | 100 - 1892 | 205 | 1909 | 87 - 1893 | 200 | 1910 | 74 - 1891 | 190 | 1911 | 71 - 1895 | 171 | 1912 | 64 - 1896 | 151 | 1913 | 48 - 1896 | 106 | 1914 | 54 - 1898 | 127 | 1915 | 98 - 1898 | 107 | 1916 | 58 - 1900 | 115 | 1917 | 38 - 1901 | 130 Two Generals and Four, Colonels Paris, France—There are now in the French army two colored men ranking as generals and four as colonels. There are also 150 captains and intemperable lieutenants. The French have absolutely no color line in their service. What will southern Americans do when they come in contact with them?

S. Scarborough The student body, faculty and friends came out to wish them Godspeed on their journey. An impromptu program was arranged as follows: Song, "America",...Student body Address...President Scarborough Address...Col.

Our papers of Louisville, Ky., charge that Kaufman-Straus, one of the oldest department stores in that city, now refuses to fit corsets on our women. I have no grievance whatsoever against the world or the people in it; I'm having a grand old time. I am what I am, not because of what I am, but in spite of it—Bert Williams, comedian. Patrolman Fowler, (wilite), of Louisville, Ky., has been dismissed for making indecent remarks to Mrs. Nancy Allen, a member of the race, who was sweeping off her pavement when the policeman came by. Douglas of the Race Provost Marshal Crowder, at Washington, D. C., announces that 737,628 visitors, or nearly 8 per cent, are Afro-Americans. 209,953 28 per cent, have been "called" and 75,697, or 36 per cent, have been certified for service. Of the whites "called," only 25 per cent have been certified for service. Our people of this state had better get ready for another extradition fight like the recent Bundy case. Tennessee is trying to get,Burley Lightfoot, arrested at Warren, last week Friday, on a charge of having murdered a white man in Memphis. See Warren letter elsewhere in this paper. Samuel V. Perrott, former chief of police of Indianapolis, has been sentenced to four years in the Federal prison at Atlanta. He was convicted by a jury in the Federal Court growing out of a civil suit filed by Thomas Campbell, a member of the race, who sued Perrott for damages, charging that the defendant beat and drove him from the polls.

The South is not a part of the United States, it is a "section" of the United States, and it has no more in common with the interests of the nation as a whole than has Manchuria, no more than it had during the period 1860 to 1865; and the sooner the New York World and all the people of the North understand this fact, the better will they be able to deal with this ignorant, arrogant, semi-civilized division of the country which has always been the trouble maker—Hon. Jas. W. Johnson in the N. Y. Age. The military commander who carried out that order was guilty of military lynching. It was done to appease the people of Houston, Tex. In order to appease them the commander took advantage of the state-of-war situation which made their execution possible without a report to Washington, D. C. If this thing had been reported to Washington we in this country would have had a chance to plead for mercy. Thirteen men in the U. S. army were denied the right of appeal, which is accorded to any criminal. These thirteen were sacrificed on the infamous altar of Southern prejudice. Yet we are still expected to glorify in patriotism. That deed is not calculated to enhance the patriotism of American Negroes, but to destroy it.—Rev. Geo. F. Frazier, Brooklyn, N. Y. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY "Let us have faith that right makes, might, and In that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty, as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest_makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the Inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotlines decide our least disputes.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1918 The greatest administrator in the country should head the war department. The Browning machine gun, says the War Department, is the best in the world. Only IT doesn't have any of them! It makes the chills run all over us when we have to choose between the fuel elocation of Gov. Cox and the coal psychology of Dr. Garfield. Dr. Harry Garfield says the Government will have to take over the coal. Possibly the Government made its mistake when it took over Dr. Garfield. Secretary of War Baker does no seem to have known that General Crozier should have been dropped. Possibly Secretary Baker is the man to drop. --- The "Tuskegee" lynching record for 1917 says there were 38, last year while the one kept by the Chicago Daily Tribune announces but 34 Either number is more than there should be in the "land of the free and home of the brave." O'RYAN VS. BRYAN In the Senate investigation, Senator Chamberlain, the Democratic chairman, said to General O'Ryan, commandant at one of the army cantonments: "A certain distinguished American recently said something about a million men rising to arms from sunrise to sunset. What chance would such men have in modern warfare?" "No chance at all," replied General O'Ryan, himself in private life a leading New York Democrat. "There is no short cut to efficiency." But there are a thousand short cuts to inefficiency and the party of Col Wm. J. Bryan seems to have taken them all. THE LEWIS GUN The French and English think enough of the Lewis machine gun to use 70,000 of them in the last great drive. Presumably they would have used better ones, after three and one-half years of desperate warfare—if they could have found a better one. The Lewis machine gun is an American invention of many years standing and by an American army officer. The War Department will have nothing to do with the Lewis gun. It has declared for the Browning gun. But after ten months of war, and two and a half years after the sinking of the Lusitania, it has no Browning guns—except on paper. On paper, it is said to be a perfectly good gun. On one battle field in France, 70,000 Lewis guns were found to be perfectly good guns in actual experience. After the Browning gun ceases to be a paper drawing and becomes a material actuality, it will still be an experiment. It will have to have its baptical test on the battle field. In a time when not merely time, but speed, is of the essence, why experiment? THE WOODEN AGE "The terrible Teddy" (Roosevelt) continues to speak up in meeting. He testifies that with his own eyes, in the cantonments: "Last fall I saw thousands of men drilling with broomsticks. I have such a broomstick now before me. Last fall I saw thousands of men drilling with rudely-whittled wooden guns. I have one such before me now. I saw them drilling with wooden machine guns as late as the beginning of December. I saw barrels mounted on sticks on which zealous captains were endeavoring to teach their men how to ride a horse. I saw in the national army camps in Illinois and Ohio scores of wooden cannon. Doubtless any man can see them now if he goes there." He adds that it will be impossible He adds that it will be impossible to get at all the facts of our unpreparedness as most officers will be very reluctant to tell the whole truth. "They know," he says, "that they will suffer if they do, because they have seen the punishment inflicted by the present administration on Major General Wood for the sole reason that he dared to tell the truth about our shortcomings, and dared to advocate preparedness in advance." PROVIDENCE INSCRUTABLE Some people seem to think that from one viewpoint, it is perhaps fortunate that the Democrats won the last national election. If Hughes had been elected, either with or without a Republican Congress, and we had later entered the war, as we would as a result of the policies Wilson had pursued, the new president would have been accused by the Democrats and by many others, of being the cause of our getting into the conflict. Wilson and his friends would have declared that he kept us out of war and that Hughes plunged us in. The Democrats in Congress would have refused that loyal support of the government which Republicans have freely granted. They would have found their excuse in the plea that it was not their war. While it is certain that a Republican administration would have put greater efficiency into the war than the Wilson administration has, yet it is perhaps better that the war be conducted by those under whose policies we got into it, than to have it conducted by men who would not get the hearty support of the Democratic members of Congress. MR. McADOO'S SELECTION As a war measure the taking over of the railroads was necessary. The priority system of the government had simply confounded confusion. With two sets of managers the railroads were not making good, notwithstanding they had hauled 15 per cent more freight in 1917 than in 1916. But was the appointment of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo as the railroad dictator the right one to make? Was not the place really one for the best railroad man in America? It must be borne in mind that Mr. McAdoo was already secretary of the Treasury, chairman of the federal reserve banking system, chairman of the federal loan board and chairman of the international highway commission. There are limits to the time and resources of any person. As the dispenser of the administration patronage, as the son-in-law of the president, whose successor it is rumored it is on the cards that he is to be, Mr. McAdoo is becoming the center of much power and great political opportunity. A prompt award of higher wages will not hurt him a bit politically. As a gratitude drawer the Adamson law would be a mere deuce in the deck.

Kindly answer at once. We are Very truly yours, SAMUEL T. KELLY, Sec. — Cleveland, O., Jan. 9, 1918.

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."2 Christian THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 12, 1918 DuBOIS AT HIS OLD GAME! Trying To "Hog" All The Credit for the N.A.A.C.P.for Raising Money In the East St. Louis, Ill., Massacre Cases Dr. Leroy Bundy's Wife "Let's the Cat Out of the Bag" Time for an N. A. A. C. P. Housecleaning! Chicago, Ill., Dec. 18, 1917. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Blackstone Bldg., Cleveland, Ohio. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: As the December Crisis, in quoting a paragraph of mine, says that I have made an antique statement about the East St. Louis matters, I beg the privilege of space in your paper to vindicate myself. In a letter to the people before going to East St. Louis to investigate Dr. Leroy N. Bundy's case, I said: Not a dollar has been raised with which to put someone on guard of the doings of the Investigation Committee." The editor of the Crisis follows this quotation with a blunt as- the N. A. A. C. P. As a matter of fact, nearly half of the $500 that was raised to defend the first 14 Negroes on trial was given by the Masons and other secret organizations, but the editor of the Crisis says that the N. A. A. C. P. raised the money to defend the men. The same is true of the other parts of the book, which the sapient editor, of the Crisis says they raised for "investigation, succor and defense." The colored people of St. Louis are extremely sore over the injustice done them by his-claiming credit for work done by other organizations. They say that while the N. A. A. C. P. raised some of the money it is quite untrue that they did it all and most of that they gave Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett sertion that this statement is untrue and then goes on to say that the N. A. A. C. B. has already spent $4000 for defense, succor and investigation. "We have hired excellent defense for the accused colored men and to defend Dr. Bundy," and then winds up with saying, "We have no objection to other persons and organizations collecting and expending money as they see fit but their pleas should be based upon fact not fancy." This letter in which the statement was made dealt with Dr. Bundy's case pure and simple and was made for the purpose of showing the people that they needed to do something else besides pray and march before we could be allowed to move in the east. He is outrages. The call to go to East St. Louis was made by Dr. Bundy's friends who stated that nothing had been done in his behalf. I spent three days in Lovejoy, St. Louis, East St. Louis and Belleville. My findings were published in The Gazette, and as a result of that investigation was raised upward of $600 which has been turned over to Mrs. Bundy. Not only that, but the loved one had been paid his behalf until after my visit. The N. A. A. C. P. did not employ Dr. Bundy's lawyer. It has only contributed to the monies raised and has cooled appropriated all that has been raised by others, as the following extract from a letter from Mrs. Bundy will show. She writes under date of the letter that she was asked for definite information as to how the money had been raised, had been expended and by whom; Mrs. Bundy's Letter "The president of the N. A. A. C. P. did not like it because some friends, having heard that nobody had been employed to defend Dr. Bundy, raised $51 and took it to Mr. Webb. He said he wanted all money raised to be turned over to the N. A. A. C. P. This was in a conversation held at his home after he had called me and informed me that my father and Dr. Bundy's family would have to put all they could into the case, as the N. A. C. P. could not pay the $1000 required by Mr. Webb. I immediately telegraphed Dr. Bundy's father and had him come back from Cleveland. He advised that perhaps we had better turn it all over to the N. A. A. C. P., who had promised to make up the balance. This is the way the money ..... Continuing, Mrs. Bundy says: "The N. A. A. C. P. has about worried me to death about the money. As soon as they read that money has been sent to me, they start running after me and will not let up until I have turned it over to them. They don't even allow me my expenses to look after Dr. Bundy and see that he is comfortable. I have to depend upon my father and mother for the support of us." You will see by this that the N. A. A. C. P. has raised but $149 of the nearly $1500 that has been raised for lawyers' fees, and they did not do that until after we had started the defense fund and, as a matter of fact, they have contributed less than anybody else to the Bundy fund. Yet the editor of the Crisis brazenly claims that they have done it all! I have no doubt whatever when the public reads the article, but I don't it with the statement of the editor of the Crisis, it will decide that he is making the untrue statements. No better example has been given of the hypocrisy, deceit and insolent arrogance of the editor of the Crisis, than to pretend that all is being done by the N. A. A. C. P. As a matter of fact, nearly half of the $500 that was raised to defend the first 14 Negroes on trial was given by the Masons and other secret organizations, but the editor of the Crisis says that the N. A. A. C. P. raised the money to defend these men. The same is true of the other parts of that $4000 which the sapient editor of the Crisis says they raised for "investigation, succor and relief" to the Negroes. Louis are extremely sore over the injustice done them by his-claiming credit for work done by other organizations. They say that while the N. A. A. C. P. raised some of the money, it is quite untrue to say that they did it all, and most unfair that they give nobody else credit for doing anything but themselves. There are a many tried and true maneuvers that they have given their best efforts to make the N. A. A. C. P. a real force in this country, but they have never understood why the truly representative Negroes are not in the movement, many of whom have been deliberately frozen out of the organization. The N. A. A. C. P. has done some splendid work for which it has been fortunate to have been ten-fold more if it will only get rid of some of the dead wood that is sapping the life out of the organization by failing to do-the work itself yet trying to kill those who do. IDA B. WELLS-BARNETT. The foregoing cannot fail to remind our many readers of how Prof. W. E. B. DuBois tried, several years ago, in his Crisis to claim for the N. A. A. C. P. the credit for barring that infamous photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," from the state of Ohio after some of our people of the state and a few white friends, led by the editor of The Gazette, had done the work Prof. W. E. B. DuBois Piqued, because this paper did for his foolish claim just what Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett is doing so well with her splendid letter, given herewith, the Ohio branches of the N. A. A. C. P., the past spring, whether under instructions or not, undertook to duplicate our work of several years ago, but without the assistance of those who led in the first fight (the success of the campaign showing in Ohio and made a dismal failure of it just as anticipated. The Gazette "put a crimp" in the foolish and unfair DuoBis claim of three years ago, and it is sincerely to be hoped that Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett will succeed, with Mrs. Leroy N. Bundy's able assistance, in doing the same, this time. Yes indeed, there is great need of a "house-cleaning" in the N. A. A. C. P. just as indicated by Mrs. Barry in her eviction (the reason is that she states. The good work cannot start too soon "for the good and welfare" of that organization. The following editorial note was published in The Gazette some weeks ago, and is worth republishing at this time for reasons obvious The sweeping decision, last week, of the U. S. Supreme Court, knocking out the vicious, insulting and harmful segregation laws of a number of southern cities, was won as the result of a fight made by Editor Wm. Warley of the Louisville (Ky.) News. Congratulations confere! Now watch the $3600-a-year editor of the Crisis, Dr. "Alphabetical" DuBois, claim the credit for this great victory for the N. A. A. C. P., just as he tried to do in the case of our successful fight against the infamous photo-play, "The Birth of a Nation," a few years ago, here in Ohio. Readers of The Gazette will readily recall the fact that DuBois did that very thing, and as a result will better understand Mrs. Ida B. Well-Barnett's letter and our comment on the same, H. C. S. If anybody does an injustice to our people, whether it be the President of the United States or somebody else, we must not be afraid to speak; we must fight. We have been the victims of a false philosophy that we should less about our rights and more about our duties. For several years I have been a student of moral law, and I can see no difference between right and duty. We need to look duty squarely in the face and throw consequences to the winds. It matters not what the enemy does against us or what a war or otherwise; when wrongs are committed against our men, our women and our children, we must continue earnestly to keep up our fight against it.—Rev. Geo. F. Miller, pastor of St. Augustine church, Brooklyn, N. Y., in an address at the recent midwinter N. A. A. C. P. meeting in N. Y. City. MILITARY PRISONERS How They Are Guarded at Garrisons —The Bull Ring. The hardest duty that a soldier is ever upon to perform in times of peace and the duty which he dreads the most is the guarding of military prisoners. These are divided into two classes: First—Garrison prisoners, who have received light sentences for minor breaches of discipline and will be returned to duty in a short time. Second—Military civilians, who for attempted desertion or other serious military crimes have been dishonorably discharged by order of a court-martial and have received sentences varying from a few months to several years confinement at hard labor, according to the gravity of the offence. Into their ranks the vicious element, or those who hold their oath of enlistment too lightly, eventually find their way. Every morning at fatigue call the prisoners are drawn up in a long line in front of the guard house and surrounded by a chain of sentries. The sombre prison garb of the "generals"—military convicts were formerly known as "general prisoners"—is marked with gigantic capital "PS" which render them conspicuous and therefore make escape more difficult. Some are evil looking fellows with long and unsavory records. Doubless many have "done time" more than once in civil prisons before evading the watchfulness of the recruiting officer and finding their way into the army. Others are rosy cheeked lads who in all probability have yet to see their twenty-first birthday, and in nine cases out of ten the charge against them is desertion. Home sickness or restlessness under military restraint and discipline have led them into the rash act, the heavy penalties of which they may not have fully realized. In groups of twos and threes and guarded by sentries with loaded riffles these men perform most of the disagreeable work and menial labor about the army post, which is highly varied in character and may consist of anything from sprinkling the flower beds on the officers' lawns to digging ditches for monster sewer pipes. Although they generally perform their enforced tasks cheerfully, occasionally a particularly disagreeable piece of work causes a miniature strike and a dozen men may "buck," that is, refuse to work. It is then that the historic "buil ring" is resorted to. A huge circle is marked out on the ground and the malefactors are required to walk around its circumference in Indian file for eight hours a day, preserving absolute silence. A ten minute respite is allowed at noon for a bread and water lunch. A day or two of this treatment usually suffices to break the most stubborn will. If not there still remains solitary confinement on the bread and water diet, and as a last resort the dungeon. The prison duty is by all odds the grimest phase of the soldier's life. He may find himself standing guard over his best friend, with orders to shoot to kill should his man attempt to escape. The effect of intercourse with military prisoners is, if nothing more, very damaging to the morals of the new recruit, and it is most unfortunate that some provisions has not been made for transferring this class of evil doers to civil penitentiaries or to some large military prisons far removed from the arm post. KEEPS HAT FROM BLOWING OFF They Now Put Rubber Safeguard in Sweatband. It has come at last—the hat that will not blow off. At least, that is the claim of its inventor, a New York man, in his recent application for a patent. Results are achieved by equipping the hat with a series of protuberances on a line with the sweatband, which grip the head of the wearer, defying anything but a direct pressure to remove the chapeau. Napoleon's Farewell. It was at Fontainebleau that Napoleon received the pope in 1804. It was at Fontainebleau that he imprisoned the pope—the apartment which served as his prison is still shown—in 1812 and 1813. Finally, for Nemesis would it be so, it was at Fontainebleau that Napoleon signed his abdication and said farewell to his army in 1814, coming down the horseshoe staircase at the head of the Cour du Cheval Blanc, and placing himself at the head of the guard, as if for a review: "For 20 years," he said, "I have been well content with you, and you have always been with me on the path of glory. With your help and that of all the brave men who are still loyal, I could have carried on the war for three years longer, but France would have suffered, and I did not wish that to happen. "I might have died—that would have been easy, but I would not. I prefer to follow the path of honor, and to write the history of our exploits. "I can not embrace you all, but I will embrace your general. Come, Gen, Petit. Bring me the eagle! Dear eagle! May these kisses find their echo in every brave man's heart! "Farewell, my children!" That, surely, is the most pathetic, as it is also the most dramatic, scene in the whole history of Fontainebleau. The trouble with good advice is that it usually costs nothing to get, but proves too expensive to follow. Successful Appeal. Judge—"Was that young Mr. Smith I saw leaving the house as I entered?" Daughter—"Yes, papa." Judge—"And didn't I prohibit him coming here any more?" Daughter—"Yes, papa, but he appealed to a higher court, and mamma has removed the injunction."

THE COW JUMPS OVER MOON FIDO IN PURSUIT WITH WONDER- FUL LEAPS Like a Flash You See It, but Movie Cartoonist Toils Long to Produce it. How movie cartoons are made to move is a mystery to most persons who take pleasure in their antics. At the same time there is much mystery about the mechanics of their production among artists who aspire to produce like effects, while several motion picture concerns are nearly as ignorant about it as the general public. The artists who are doing this work have only learned how after weeks and months of scheming and labor, and they jealously guard the secrets of their particular methods. In general, trick photography is combined with intricate study of motion and its portrayal. Some artists rely almost entirely upon successive drawings and others on cut out figures—a very elaborate and delicate process. A writer tells of a recent visit to the studio of a popular movie cartoonist who was completing two weeks' work on a 500 foot film and had a stack of 1,132 separate drawings to his credit. The next afternoon he visited another artist who had just finished photographing a cartoon of similar length. This artist, however, had made a few more than 500 drawings and had attained even smoother animation than the first one. The difference came in the methods employed. On the other hand, there are cartoonists who are making as many as 5,000 to 6,000 drawings for each 500 feet of film. Some of the sketch saving tricks are more or less public property. One of them consists of making a single drawing of a setting and then having a large number of half tone prints made of it, on which the motion is sketched in, thus saving an almost endless amount of work. Whatever the idea of the cartoon, the execution must be clever or it will fall flat. It is for this reason that so much importance is connected with the actual work of animation. In presenting animal cartoons, for instance, the artist has to make four legs move in a fairly natural way and at a uniform speed. If too many drawings are made, the picture drags; if they are too few, the motion is jerky and stiff. To strike the right combination is an art that not all of the present movie cartoonists have acquired by any means. One difficulty that confronts the movie cartoonist is the minute exactness necessary. Owing to the fact that the drawings are enlarged enormously when projected on the screen, the smallest inaccuracies are brought out. The cartoonists' drawings for a newspaper go thru just the reverse process, for they are reduced instead of being enlarged. TEST COIN-WASHING MACHINE Mint Starts Move for Cleaner Silver Money. Director of the Washington Mint VonEngelken is experimenting with a coin washing machine designed to clean silver coins much after the manner that paper money is laundered at present. The machine is largely Mr. Von Engelken's invention and is designed also to dry and count the coins. The new dimes, because of their slightly concave design, are said to be as dirt catchers without equal in American coins and many badly soiled specimens already have been returned to the mints, altho they have been in circulation only a short time. Because of the high price of silver, Director von Engelken has decided to buy no more silver for the present to mint the new half dollars and quarters, for which there is a big demand. As fast as needed, however, the new coins will be minted from metal obtained by melting old silver coins. MASTODON'S TOOTH IS DUG UP Weights Over 3 Pounds; 15 Inches In Circumference. A big tooth, which is supposed to have come from the jaw of some mastodon of prehistoric ages, has been unearthed by T. E. Nichols of Cottonwood Falls, Kans., and men employed in making a deep cut on Diamond Creek, one and a half miles northeast of Elmldale, Kans. The trench had been sunk to a depth of fifty-three feet and had passed thru on eight foot gravel stratum when the big tooth was found. A soapstone formation was encountered just beneath it. The tooth is well preserved. It weighs over three pounds, measures a foot and three inches in circumference around its base, and is three inches in height from its base to the points of the teeth. EARTH WILL BE MEASURED U. S. Gives $1,500,000 for Carrying Out Work. Since the war began many persons have observed that the world is being "trimmed." Be that as it may, the world is being measured.

MOTHER BEES, NOT QUEENS A Bee Master Says the Queen Is the One Real Subject. "There are no queens, properly so called, in bee life," said the bee master of Pleasantville, N. J. "There are hundreds of hives in my garden, and there isn't a queen in any of them. "If you keep a fairly close watch on the progress of any particular hive, it is very easy to see how the old false ideas got into general use. At first glance a bee colony looks very much like a kingdom, and the single large bee that all the others pay court to and attend so carefully seems very like a queen. "The mother bee seems, on the face of it, a miracle of intelligence and foresight. While as far as you know all other creatures in the world bring forth their young of both sexes haphazards, this can lay male or female eggs apparently at will. You watch her going from comb to comb, and the eggs she drops in the small cells hatch out females and those she puts in the larger cells are always males or drones. "More than that, she seems always to know the exact condition of the hive and to be able to limit her egg laying according to its need or otherwise of population; for either you see her filling only a few cells each day in a little patch of comb that can be covered with the palm of your hand or she goes to work on a gigantic scale and in twenty-four hours produces eggs that weigh more than twice as much as her whole body. "Then," he goes on in Van Norden's Magazine, "to cap all, as the honey season draws on to its height you are forced to think that the queen has conceived and is carrying through a scheme for the good of her subjects that would do credit to the wisest ruler ever born in human purple. "Every day of summer sunshine has brought thousands of young bees into life. The hive is getting overcrowded. Sooner or later one of two things must happen—either the increase of population must be checked or a great party must be formed to leave the old home and go out to establish another. "Then it is that the mother bee seems to prove beyond a doubt her wisdom and queenlessness. She decides for the emigration, but as a leader must be found for the party and none is at hand she forms the resolve to lead it herself. "A new ruler for the old realm must be provided to take her place when she has gone forever, and now you see a party of bees set to work on something that fairly beggars your curiosity. "At first it looks exactly like an acorn cup in wax hanging from the under edge of the comb. Perhaps the next time you look the cup has grown to twice its original size and now you see it is half full of a glistening white jelly. "The next time, maybe, you open the hive the acorn has been added to the cup, the queen cell is sealed over and finished, and about a week later there comes out a full grown queen bee twice the size of the ordinary worker and quite different in shape and often different in color. "If the mother bee really brought all this about queen would not be a good enough name for her, but the truth is throughout all the wonder workings of the hive the queen is little more than an instrument, a kind of an automaton, merely doing what the workers compel her to do. "They are the real queens in the hive and the mother bee is the one and only subject. The birth of a 'queen' is simply a question of where the eggs are laid. "Thousands and thousands of worker eggs are laid in a hive during the season, and each of those could be made into a queen if the workers chose; but the worker egg is laid in a small cell and the larva is bred on a bare minimum of food at the least possible cost in time, trouble and space to the hive, when a new queen is wanted a cell as big as your finger top is built and the larva is stuffed like a prize pig through all its five days of active life until, with unlimited food and time and room to grow in, it comes out at last a perfect mother bee." DUTCH USE QUAINT CRAFT Make Rotterdam Harbor More Picturesure Then New York's turesque than New York. Rotterdam harbor in some ways is more picturesque than the harbor of New York. There are no fringing sky scrapers, but there is as much life and movement, more color and contrast, a finer sweep of line and grouping of detail. The many canals that surround it, the quaint craft that ply up and down, the flying bridges that close many of the distant vistas, all these combine with the rich color of sky and water to make a whole that smacks more of the seafaring of romance, and less of the seafaring of commerce that is the keynote of our harbors today. The canals carry this same flavor into the city itself. You see the quiet, domestic life of Holland playing itself out on the clumsy barges. There is something intimately attractive about these maritime homes that has at the same time the elements of humor. The canal boat in Holland, however, is as much a feature of the landscape as the windmill, and much more so than the girl in blue calico and wooden shoes. The men that man the barges have the real seafaring strain in their veins, and would as leave work a square rigger to Sumatra as smoke their pipes on the waters between green fields. All men are born free and unequal. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 12, 1918 GEOLOGY IS GUIDE IN OIL VENTURES WAS RIDICULLED BY OLD-TIME PROSPECTORS Locating Wells by Science Now Recognized as Only Way by Heaviest Investors. When JamesHutton laid the foundation of the science of geology along about 1785, he dreamed only of research and an understanding of the things beneath the earth's crust. Were Mr. Hutton alive to day, it probably would surprise him beyond expression to know that the outgrowth of his theories is the card on which millions of dollars are staked in the oil industry every month. Geology is one of the newest of the sciences, and its application to the oil industry is newer still. Five years ago the old timer treated the geologist with contempt. Then were coined the nicknames "rock-biter," "rock hound," and a few other even less complimentary, by which geologists are known among operators and drillers of the school. But geology is not to be daunted by the scorn of a few unbelievers, for geology has arrived in the oil industry, and commands its price. When the man with a lease to sell talks to the man who buys leases, he submits a geologist's report at the outset of negotiations. If the lease is on "structure" bearing a geologist's o. k., the chances are the buyer of leases will take it at the proffered price without quibbling. If the lease has not been considered from the geologist's viewpoint, the men having it for sale might as well hawk a gold brick around the street—nobody wants his offering and nobody would pay it except at the lowest price. The development of geology in the oil industry dates back to the fields of West Virginia. A pioneer in the oil geological field was Dr. I. C. White, whose reports on West Virginia fields formed to a great extent the early working basis of oil geologists in other fields. In later years other geologists took up the work in Illinois and Pennsylvania, so that by the time Oklahoma and Kansas became the principal petroleum producing sections the stage was set for the geologist. It took him some little time to build properly his fences, but now he is reaping his reward in the esteem in which his opinions are held. And as esteem goes it is some esteem. One of the big companies operating out of Tulsa thought so much of the report of a widely known Oklahoma geologist that it paid $1,000,000 for a lease he recommended on which a well had never been drilled. They say in the oil country that every big company in the field is "playing" geology. Some of them deny it, but the saying persists just the same. One company relies so strongly upon the geological findings of its experts that it employs forty geologists. The other companies employ from one to ten or a dozen. From one to ten or a dozen of geologists be in such demand. There is scarcely an oil field in Oklahoma whose presence was not known to geologists before the first drill reached the pay. This is not saying, however, that geology is a sure shot. It is considered nearly so in proved territory, where the question is not one of locating a new field but of drilling at the most advantageous point on the "structure." In his experience, one widely known geologist says, the odds against success, even when a geologist recommended the drilling project, have been 11 to 1. But without his recommendation the odds against success were 100 to 1. On his authority, therefore, it would seem geology has decreased the chances against the operator nearly ten times. The United States Geological Survey has inaugurated a system of reports that is valuable to the geologist, and there is scarcely a State in the Union that has not established its own geological survey. From the maps furnished by the Government and the States geologists are able to locate districts offering inducements for further exploration. There isn't a man in the oil industry who regards geology as a sure thing. Not even the geologists themselves do that. But it lessens the chances of failure. INVENTS MOWING MACHINE GUN Man Designs Weapon With Barrels That Spread Like Fingers. William X. Stevens of Seattle, Wash., who inspected ordinance during Grant's campaign and celebrated his 81st birthday recently, has invented a new engine of war. The weapon, which he calls the "mowing machine gun," has fifteen barrels that may be spread like fingers. It is designed to shoot in volleys, discharging more than 1,000 cartridges a minute. The soldier who operates the gun sits slung beneath the contrivance, so the recoil of the fifteen barrel volley does not discomfit him. The files of the United States Department of Agriculture contain more than 1,000,000 cards concerning the distribution and migration of North American birds. M.
