As we go to press today the city has arrested the photo play manager, who has put on "The Birth of a Nation" and they are in our municipal court on trial for the violation of our city ordinance. It is a hard fought battle. The city has won at every stage thus far. There are ten great lawyers in the fight. Against the play there is ex-Attorney General Webb Byers, corporation counsel; Guy Miller, city solicitor, his assistant, also Hon. Geo. H. Woodson, S. Joe Brown and Casper Schenk. On the photo play side are Read & Read, O. M. Brockett, Nelson and one of the regular show lawyers. They began their suit last Saturday by asking an injunction against the city restraining them from bothering the play. Judge Ayres of the district court overruled the injunction. Then the city arrested the company employees for a violation of the city ordinance and that trying. The city called as witness is the case that they are now about thirty people, Rev. Dr. J. E. Kirby, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church; Dr. J. K. Porter, pastor of the Presbyterian church on East Side; Dr. B. F. Fallman, pastor of Baptist Church, East Des Moines, Casper Schenk and Mr. Regadale, an old soldier. They were all star witnesses for the city and against the play. There was no doubt in the minds of all of them that the play was immoral, obscene, indecent and calculated to incite race anti-pathy and should be suppressed. Too much praise cannot be given all of the above named witnesses, as they are leaders of the Anglo race here, and each one simply did their duty as a high class, broad minded Christian gentleman. No colored witness was put on the stand. found that chance. During that year I worked from choice, not from necessity, days, nights and Sundays trying to make myself a necessity. I was worried about the future. At the end of the year I became a member of the firm of Gatch & Weaver and was to have $50 per month and if 20 percent of the net earnings at the end of the year amounted to more I was to have the difference. Thus I began my career as a lawyer. AN APPEA Woman, oh wowing, Every human c awaking; Get up and get, race, For the man are swift pace Woman, oh wow sleeping. A MIGHTY UNIVERSITY ALMOST FIETY, YEARS OLD Nearly fifty years ago the charter for Howard university, Washington, D. C., was granted, and in the half century has sent into the world upwards of 3,000 well equipped men and women as teachers, preachers, dentists, doctors, lawyers and laymen, many of whom have made their impress on the community in which they have lived and every true graduate of this well known educational institution is requested to at once communicate with the alumni secretary, care the university. The charter of Howard university (Washington, D. C.), which was granted March 2, 1867, grew out of a plan for "Howard Theological Seminary," which afterward took on the form of Howard "Normal and Theological Institute" for the education of teachers and preachers, and finally Howard university, as now, a university with departments as follows: Academic, consisting of college of arts and science and teachers college, the academy, commercial college, school of manual and applied sciences, school of conservatory of music, professional, consisting of school of theology, school of medicine and school of law. The April number of the Howard university, Washington, D. C., Record issued as an alumni number has been received. It is a 48 page edition with an illuminated cover in the college colors and contains much information of interests to the alumni located in all parts of this and foreign countries. Any alumnus can obtain a copy by applying to the alumni secretary of the general alumni association, care of the university. SAMPSON FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL Mr. Sampson has won for himself during his long term of service as attorney general an enviable reputation and is commonly spoken of as a strong, fearless, efficient officer. His name would impress one as his bein a man of great physical strength, yet such is not the case, His great strength lies in his intellect. Mr. Sampson is a man of slightly less than medium height and weight, but his great administrative executive ability, his keen, clear conception of the law, his fearlessness in its enforcement, the courage of his convictions on all questions looking to the betterment of the people, as a whole, the upbuilding of a greater Iowa, his uniting efforts in behalf of the wealth producers and laws in which they are directly interested as legal adviser for them concerning workman's compensation laws, with his fairness to all classes in his official duty and his great capacity for assimilating work have won for him in his campaign throughout the state the slogan-"Sampson, the Strong Man, for Attorney General." We asked Mr. James B. Weaver, republican candidate for representative from Polk county at the June primary, whose portrait appeared recently in these pages, to tell something of his early life and start in Des Moines. He said: "I was born at Bloomfield in Davis county, July 19, 1861. I was raised in that town, attended the common schools there and when about 17 years of age attended two winters at the southern Iowa Normal and Scientific Institute at the same place. In the summer time I farmed those two years. The first tractor was twenty acres. I had a little mare, "Pet," and hired another horse, plowed the land, and then cultivated it with one horse and a double-shelf plow. The second year I rented a stumpy acres out on the old Goss farm and handled things the same way. I then entered in my 18th year the general merchandise store of John H. Taylor, clerking at $25.00 per month for two years. I saved enough from this to attend the law school at the state university, which I entered in the fall of 1891, graduating in June, 1882. I then came to Des Moines to find work in some law office. Five dollars was my entire available capital. I had never been in a city as large as Des Moines. I arrived in the night and stopped at the old Morgan house, which took 50 cents of my five dollars. Next morning I applied at the office of C. H. G. Hatch for a chance to work. I got it, at a salary of $25 per month as office clerk. I went out then to look for a room. I found it in an old man-sardroofed house on Sixth avenue between the Rock Island and the Des Moines Union tracks. I rented that room at $5.00 per month and found a boarding place at $2.50 per week on Third street above Grand. In August, 1882, Colonel Gatch and Mr. Bancroft dissolved partnership. Gatch called me into the office and asked whether I would go with him for a year. I was not to be known in the firm and was to receive $25 per month. It can be imagined that I answered in the affirmative. I was concerned for a chance to work and to make a living. I never worked harder or was happier than when I found that chance. During that year I worked from choice, not from necessity, days, nights and Sundays trying to make myself a necessity. I was worried about the future. At the end of the year I became a member of the firm of Gatch & Weaver and was to have $50 per month and if 20 percent of the net earnings at the end of the year amounted to more I was to have the difference. Thus I began my career as a lawyer. As can be imagined, I have a warm place in my heart for Colonel Gatch and Judge Baneroft, who gave me a chance to work. BURNETTE FOR RECORDER. Mr. A. S. (Buzz) Burnette of Valley Junction has announced his name as a candidate for county recorder, subject to the republican primaries. Mr. Burnette is one of the best qualified young men for his office that Polk county could find. He has been deputy county auditor for about seven years, also worked in the recorder's office a short time. He has lived in Valley Junction for the past twenty-two years. For three years he was postmaster there. He was in the grocery and hardware store for several years. The editor of The Bystander has known Mr. Burnette for many years and has found him to be a gentleman, honest with all races. He has never held an elective office. His many friends solicit your support. PETER H. H, M. HAVNER FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL One of the strongest members of the bar has entered the race for the office of attorney general on the republican ticket—H. M. Havner of Marengo. It will be recalled that when the fight over the saloon petition came up four or five years ago this lawyer was called to Des Moines to take charge of the case for the drys. It was a long hard fight through both the district and the supreme court, with a decision finally in favor of the drys. Shortly after this another saloon petition was circulated and again Mr. Havner was called upon to lead the fight for the drys. This time the saloon interests were so completely snowed under that they gave up the fight before the drys were half way through introducing their evidence. His fight against the saloons have carried him into contact with many of the ablest lawyers of Iowa and he has always been equal to the occasion. He whipped the saloons out of his own county years ago and has been the leader in fights against them in many other places. Mr. Havern is the son of John Havern, a civil war veteran. Mr. Havern himself was a private in the Spanish-American war. He was born and raised in the good old state of Iowa. Worked his way through college and law school and started in the practice at Marengo about seventeen years ago. He entered into the court work with a firm determination to put his best into every case. So that now he is regarded as the strongest trial lawyers in Iowa and has an extensive practice in both the state and federal courts. As a member of the Methodist church he holds a position on one of its most important national committees. As a farmer he has some of the best improved farms in Iowa; as a business man he has been unusually successful. This is the first time he has ever sought favors of the voters. He is not such a politician as the voter is best acquainted with, but he is well qualified to fill the office and in casting your vote for him as attorneyally clean, professionally able and armed with every evidence of a strong character. He is the man Iowa needs in the office of attorney general. For a burn or scald apply Chamberlain's. It will allow the pain almost instantly and quickly heal the injured parts.

Every human creature on earth is awakening; Get up and get, or you'll loose in the race, For the man are all running a mighty swift pace. Woman, oh woman, why are you sleeping, Look at the harvest that we should be reaping; Put on thy bonnet and speed fast away, To the beautiful meadow, and gather the hay. Woman, oh woman, the time now has come When we all rake the harvest, as we long should have done; Years that have passed, and can't be replaced, Time has effaced us, now we're disgraced. Woman, oh woman, take heed to the call, Daylight will be darkness to you, me, and all, Get yourself ready, and fight with all your might, For man will assist us, he knows we are right.

Mr. Barton is one of our old settlers of Polk county, having lived here twenty-six years. He has been a contractor for twenty-one years, and by his various experiences in life he will no doubt make a splendid treasurer. Mr. Barton is an active member of the University Church of Christ for fifteen years, and stands for honest in that is high, clean and honest in our city life, and if elected will give all races a square deal. He is a good friend of the colored people. He is 46 years old and will make an ideal county treasurer. THE NEW YORK TIMES SENATOR J. H.

Obtainable everywhere. SENATOR CHARLES H. THOMAS FOR STATE TREASURER. Mr. Thomas is worthy of recognition in this connection. His legislative record proves him to be a man of broad comprehension—a most intelligent, efficient and fearless worker for every law for the advancement of society, the protection of the wealth producer and betterment of the home. Some of the most notable laws for which he is responsible are the famous blue sky law, prohibitory amendment, minimum wage and other such laws which have worked for the betterment of society. Mr. Thomas has championed no laws which would especially privilege any individual, race, class or people. He has always worked on the broad assumption that we were all Americans and citizens of Iowa and for the advancement of her citizenship, her laws must be for the benefit of all her people. Starting life as a farm hand without a dollar, but with unlimited will power and determination, he has made a success of life and is now one of the leading merchants and banners of southwestern Iowa. His senatorial record shows that he has never forgotten his early life nor his duty to those less fortunate. As senator he was always found championing the cause and interests of the wealth producing classes and the many testimonials of appreciation and recommendation from the different labor bodies throughout the state, thanking him for his activity in their behalf insures him their appreciation of the necessity of him being elected to the office of state treasurer, for as a member of the executive council his influence in their behalf will be greater than that as senator. Mr. Thomas' practical business training, together with his legislative knowledge, has especially equipped him for the office to which he aspires, and will, if elected, make us a most efficient state treasurer.

Rare Washington Portraits. A rare and curious mottoturt portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Jayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned on last year in Boston. It is entitled George Washington the late president of the United States of America, ete- tically published March 14, 1831, by J. Hinton Linden. It is a small folio and is lately by hand. It looks a much like George tl. as it joes the Father of His Country.

He was industrial and was well liked by his white neighbors, but in the planting and harvest times when there was a dearth of farmhands they could generally outbid him in the labor market, leaving him without assistance at work. He found a stable to keep colored hands for any length of time because, with no other members of their race near at hand, they found it a lonely life. In 1906 Jackson began to think about the situation and decided that what was needed was a community of colored people which would be large enough to be self-sufficient. Having come to a decision he started to work out his plans. Since then there has grown up on former government land in Weld county, Colo., a settlement of 250 Negro men and women fairly started toward independence. The name of the settlement is Dearfield, and the force behind it is the Dearfield Developing company, organized on a cooperative basis and preaching self-help. The story of the struggles which the founder and the small group of pioneers which he gathered around him had, and of the momentum which the movement gained as it became successful, is told by W. J. Harsha in an interview with Jackson in the Southern Workman. Efforts were first made to obtain suitable land from the state land office, but none was found available. Then attention was directed to the federal authorities and locations were offered in three different counties in Colorado, Jackson and the two or three men whom he had associated with the county. W. J. County site because of its fertility, availability of water, and good railroad connections with the large markets of Denver only 70 miles away. The Jackson family was the first to settle, in May, 1910, and a home was established a year later. Of the first settlers Mr. Jackson says: "I met most of the first settlers in a casual—way—in restaurants and barber shops and on street corners. I was invited to speak at our Denver church on the importance to our people of getting land before it is too late; after the meeting people crowded around me asking for particulars. After several men had filed they sent their friends to me. Woman calmahta—widows, spinsters, deserters. We publish a little paper and mention in it all flings made, and this attracted attention, when we now recyling lots of men and many callers asking for homes. "The Dearfield settlers were as poor as people could be when they took up homesteads. Their advancement has been something wonderful for our people, who know nothing of pioneer life. Some who filed on their claims had not enough money to ship their household goods and pay all their railroad fare. They paid their fare as far as they could and walked the balance of the way to Dearfield. Soon after arriving in Dearfield they secured work with the wealthy-white farmers in the district and began to build houses on their claims. Some lived in tents, others in dugouts, and some in natural caves in hillsides. "The first year there were only seven families in the settlement, and we had only three teams. We managed to get in some garden corn, melons, pumpkins, squash, Mexican A big piece of work done at Daytona by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune was the clearing up of the turpentine districts. Such places have an evil reputation in the South. A man will buy a large tract of pine forest for the purpose of getting the turpentine. He puts up a few shanties and a distillery and gathers together the riff-raff that he can find on the streets and sets them to work at small pay and large promise of rum. Women are sent out as cooks, and the place is soon unsavorably spoken of as a "turpentine camm." "We are changing conditions down there," Mrs. Bethune declared. "Once a week two or three workers or students of the school are sent to the various camps to speak to the women and children. The people are shown the right method of living, the dignity of the home, and the error of their ways. The children get three months of schooling every year. The men get higher wages and have learned how to spend and save judiciously. We have established a temperance sentiment in everything, and have driven out strong drink. We carried the polls when Day." A new method of using coal in competition with oil fuel has been tried at Vancouver, British Columbia. Those conducting the experiments say that crushed coal can be supplied to steam-producing furnaces by the same method in use for oil. It is proposed to use the new process for smelting in the big mining plants. Japan is planning to adopt an alphabet of 47 letters, including most of the Roman characters, some Russian and the rest original symbols. A cold-blooded view of the war hospitals reveals the wonderful and otherwise unobtainable practice that young surgeons, of which many are Americans, are obtaining. The young follows who are going into that profession could not have chosen a better class for their graduation than 1916 or 1915. Those employed in France receive $3 a week and $3 a day existence money. First oil that works well in engines of aircraft types is being produced in the United States and slate. beans and potatoes. We cleared a few acres for hay ground, removing the sagebrush by hand, the women and children wielding grubbers as industriously as the men, though not as sturdily, perhaps, and after grubbing we plowed, harrowed and burned the remaining brush." Suffering in the little community was intense during the first winter. There were only two frame houses. Firewood had to be carried from three to seven miles. Three of the horses died from starvation, and the other three were too weak to pull even an empty wagon, Mr. Jackson continued. Yet the little group managed to keep up their own and each other's courage, and after the first winter was weathered, further problems and hardships were more easily met and overcome. Now, in addition to having settled all the available claims, a small Negro town is growing up at Dearfield, where professional men, tradespeople, artists and manufacturers on a small scale serve the needs of the farming community. From the inception of the settlement Jackson and his colleagues tried to advertise their movement for a Negro farming community in such a way that white people would not hear about it and come in and take up the land where it was hopeful that colored farmers would settle. These efforts were only successful in a measure, and many of the best locations were taken up by white settlers. At the same time Mr. Jackson speaks with considerable satisfaction of the type of white man who came into the community, and of the fact that most of them have shown a willingness to sell out their holdings at reasonable valuations to 'prospective Negro settlers. Owing to the laws governing the taking up of homesteads it was not possible for the settlers to gather together and clear one common plot for cultivation. Instead, the method of co-operative help used was for a group to collect on the homestead of one settler after another and clear away the prospective owner. In this way each colonist soon had under cultivation the amount of land required by the government for proving up his title to the homestead. After the first few years, during which it was absolutely necessary to devote all the tillable land available to the cultivation of the commonest stables and forage for the stock, the farmers gradually began to add various kinds of vegetables and fruits, including the inevitable watermelon, not only for home consumption, but also as a surplus for sale for sale in the markets of Denver. Then attention was turned to improving the yield of the crops, particularly hay, until now the colony has passed from the stage of bare self-sufficiency to increasing prosperity. The scarcity and high price of coal in Spain has become a problem as well as a menace to all manfacturing industries in that country. With lessened importations of British coal and scarring prices for freight more attention is being paid to domestic coal, of which there are large undeveloped deposits. According to returns, 1,595,028 tons of coal were imported into Spain and 167,795 tons of coke during the first 11 months of 1915, in contrast to 2,313,630 tons of coal and 328,107 tons of coke in 1914, a decrease of 718,602 tons of coal and 160,312 tons of coke. tona had to vote on the drink question.

Our girls go out and become efficient workers, among whom are numbered dressmakers, laudresses, teachers, and students in higher schools.

GERMAN MACHINE GUNS MOW DOWN RUSSIAN MASSES Terrific Assaults of the Czar's Soldiers in Ten Days Bloody Battle. DEAD PILED HIGH ON FIELD "Magnificent, but Criminal," says Teen Officer, in Describing Advance Made by Slaves in Face of Certain Death. By OSWALD F. SCHUETTE. (Special Correspondent of Chicago Daily News). With Field Marshal von Hindenburg's Armies, Near Postawy, Russia. — I have come to these blood-drenched battlefields too late to see the terrific assaults of the great Russian adversary, so I can only tell the story of this battle that raged day after day by picturing the scenes as I find them and piecing together into one ghostly mosaic the fragments of what I am told. I have talked with officers and men of the German regiments that held back the Russian deluge and have carefully gone over the statements of the Russian prisoners. This battlefield consists of an open glade cut through the Russian primal forest. It runs almost due north and south and varies in width from the woods to the grass. The Russians were intramed along the eastern edge of this opening, while the forest behind offered splendid opportunities for concealing movements of troops and emplacements of artillery. The German lines skirt the western edge of the ridge. Battle Lasts Ten Days. The Russian fighting at this point lasted ten days before the czar's troops finally gave up their attempt to break through the German lines. On the first day the Russian fire was sporadic, apparently to make certain the range of the guns. Then for two days more the Russian bombardment continued, but now it was a real "drum fire." This means that the cannonading is so heavy that it sounds like the raid of a tank. On the afternoon of the third day the Russian drum fire was suddenly lifted from the German trenches and converted into a "sperreuer" (curtain fire) back of the German lines to prevent the bringing up of reserves. It was the signal for a Russian attack. Out of the forest came the storming Russians straight for the German lines, straight into the curtain of German artillery fire that tore great gaps in the attacking columns, though those quickly closed up. In the meantime the German troops rushed and of their dugouts into the water-filled and shell-torn trenches. Almost in a moment the machine guns were fired, and the protection and after being hastily mounted on the wreckage of the breastwings, began to sputter their fearful greeting to the Russians. Between the machine guns rattled the infantry fire. There was no time for giving commands and there was no need of any. There were no volleys. Each German soldier fired as fast as he could. The gaps in the Russian line widened, and then the Russians would halt and fire toward the German trenches, but it was hard to aim, and the bullets scarcely checked the withering crash of machine gun and rifle fire. Stopped at Barbed Wire. The Russian wave reached the barbed wire entanglements before the German breastworks, but came no farther. "Torn, beaten and shattered into a thousand fragments, the remnants of the Russian host beat a retreat. How many reached the protection of their trenches under the unceasing German fire no one can tell, but the ground between the German and Russian lines was covered with dead and dying. There was no further attack that night. Toward morning the thunder of the cannon quieted and the cries of the wounded were almost stilled by daybreak. The great battlefield was asleep only for an hour when the action of the fourth day began with another terrific drum fire, which lasted until long past noon. Again the Russian wave broke from the forests, but it had hardly got out of the woods before the German artillery opened fire. Again shells tore open the ranks; again the machine guns piled up the dead. The task was more terrible than on the day before, as the Russians had to storm over the bodies of their dead comrades. In the night the freezing cold, again the hours were bideous witht the cries of the dying men out there on the battlefield and again the darkness was filled with the thunder of cannon. To prevent a night attack, the Germans kept up a discharge of illuminating rockets and a blue-greenish glaze added to the ghastliness of the field of death. But no Russians dared to advance. At daybreak the Russians opened with a third drum fire. This time it was more terrible than on the previous occasions, for it was directed not only on the German trenches, but deep into the lines behind them, to hold Woman Students Say Men May Smoke and Play.

THE BYSTANDER THE BATTLE OF THE BAYSIDE IS NOW IN THE WORLD. THE BATTLE IS NOW IN THE WORLD. THE BATTLE IS NOW IN THE WORLD. A life-saving suit which keeps the wearer's head above water and his body warm even in zero weather has been perfected by T. E. Aud, of Hernon, Va. The suit was tested in the Potomac river in the presence of Gen. George Uhler and other officers of the United States steamboat inspection service, the test resulting in a favorable, though unofficial, report by General Uhler. The lower part of the suit contains four pounds of lead to the foot, and the upper part is filled with cork to float the body in an upright position. The material is non-conducting so that the heat of the body will keep the wearer aloft for a long time. In the inventive claims, in the picture Mr. Aud is shown wearing the suit. back the reserves and prevent the bringing up of relief to the half-frozen German soldiers, who, bundled up, were standing in the water-filled dugouts waiting for the attack which knew was inevitable. At eight o'clock the attack came and this time it was more successful. Despite the artillery, despite the machine guns and despite the infantry fire, the apparently inexhaustible regiments of Russians swept on over the front lines, and the German soldiers before the German line, over the first trenches and routed the German soldiers, who were half frozen in the mud of their shattered shelters. A terrific hand-to-hand conflict followed. Hand grenades tore down scores of defenders and assailants alike. The men fought like maniacs with spades, bayonets, knives and clubbed guns. Within 100 Feet of Victory. But the Russians won at a fearful price for so slight a gain. It might have been worth more had the Russian deluge swept farther, but it did not. The Russians stopped within a hundred feet of victory. It may have been lack of discipline, lack of officers or lack of reserves; no one knows. The Russians seemed helpless in the German trench; instead of sweeping on into the second lines they tried to intrench themselves in the wrecked German first line. Immediately German artillery hurried shells of the heaviest caliber into these lines, and tore into fragments. The enemy came to attack the reserves, and by nightfall the Russians had again been driven out, $80 of them being taken prisoners. Four days of almost absolute quiet followed, with only occasional artillery fire and now and then a sputtering infantry volley across the glade with its burden of death when the scout posts on either side thought they saw the enemy.

On the eighth day reports reached the German lines that the Russians intended to make a surprise attack that night without any drum fire. The German artillery therefore shelled the Russian woods at a terrific rate at hourly intervals through the night. All the troops remained on duty without a minute of sleep, but no Russians came. The next day was quiet. That night again it was feared there might be a surprise attack and so again the German artillery shelled the Russian lines until morning. But there was no attack until the following preparation, the Russian onuslaugh was repeated. A German officer told me the story of that attack. He said that if he had not seen it himself he would never have believed it possible that an attack would come out of the Russian woods, where the lines were almost 1,500 yards apart. Suddenly, without any warning a mud-colored wave began to pour forth from the forest. It was a line of Russians three ranks deep, containing more than 1,000 men. They marched step by step, and did not run. Behind this was a second wave like the first, and then a third, the intervals between them being about 150 yards. The German artillery tore back at the ranks, wounded, only close in an up attack, and on made an attempt to fire. They marched, as though on parade. "It was unsignificant, but criminal," said the German officer. Then came a fourth line like the other three. The first line was less than 1,000 yards from the German trenches. It came so slowly that it was possible for the Germans to trans to the Germans with cruel precision to meet it. Caught Between Walls of Fire. When the fourth line emerged from the Russian wood the German artillery dropped a curtain of fire behind it and then a similar wall of shells ahead of those in front. They then moved these two walls closer together with a hail of shrapnel between them, while at the same time they cut loose with the machine guns. The splendid formation of Russians, trapped between the walls of fire, scattered headlessly in every direction, but in vain. She glanced deep below in the opposing ranks. The air was filled with clamor and frantic shrieks were sometimes heard above the incessant roar and cracking or exploit g projectiles. Deafened men sought to dig themselves into the ground in the foolish belief that they could find safety there from this deluge of shells. Others raced madly for the rear and some escaped in 'this way as if by a miracle. Still others ran toward the German lines, only to be cut down by the German machine-gun fire. In less than twenty times the terrible drama was over. The attack had cost 100 lives, and yet a Russian soldier had come within 500 yards of the German lines. "It was a terrible harvest of death," said the officer who described the battle. It was the last gasp of the Russian offensive at this point.

Employees of United States Assay Office "Roll in Wealth." Institution Has Been Kept Extremely Busy Lately Handling the Foreign Shipments That Have Come in Such Large Amounts. Within the heart of a Wall street block in New York city is the unpretentious building of the United States assay office, nothing from its exterior indicating the great wealth contained therein. For the past few months, the various departments have been working to full capacity, endeavoring to handle the great shipments of gold forwarded to this country in payment for munitions of war. When the storage Weighing the Gold. space was filled the overflow was put in the vaults of the subtreasury building adjoining. Armed guards are stationed at the entrance and in the rooms wherever deemed essential to protect the wealth of gold that is there. System is observed everywhere. When the foreign coin is received in New York the iron-bound boxes are opened and the bags of coins carefully weighed and recorded. As the alloy standards of France, England and this country are so nearly the same, the process is not a complicated one. The scales are so finely adjusted that the result is disclosed to a very small fraction of an ounce. The bags of gold are then taken to the smelting room and the metal melted. At the right temperature the molten stream is run into brick-shaped moulds, and when full, powdered charcoal is sprinkled over the top and a second mould placed upon it, which is this full another is added to the process and repeated till there are titer after titer of bricks. After these are weighed and marked they are ready for our mint. The work is more complicated with the bullion. While the weighing and melting are the same, in order to produce the long brick to its constituent parts chemicals and electricity must be applied. The silver is separated and run into special moulds. From the remainder the gold, platinum, iridium, etc. is separated. The gold obtained in this manner is pure and is melted into bars of different sizes. After being tested and stamped, they are put away till wanted. War Raises Drug Prices. The big war in Europe is helping to make it costly, if not criminal, to be ill these days. The proverbial ounce of prevention is not only better than a pound of cure, but it is a hundred times cheaper. The war has added from 25 to 300 per cent to the consumer's cost of these drugs, and many of them—entirely disappeared from the market—cannot be obtained at any price. In many instances no sign of lower prices appears. In others there is certainty that diminishing supply must result in the most outlandish price figures. Factors in staple drugs and war are, they insist, endeavoring to conserve the limited quantities they have by mixing prohibitive figures—not for the purpose of gouging the consumer but to make possible to hold on to enough of the precious products to supply emergencies. Veronal, its solutions and compounds has almost disappeared from the market, and antipyrin, to be had in only moderate quantities, has advened from 35 cents to 5 per ounce. It Was Too Big a Job. It may not be generally known that Larkin Goldsmith Mead, the American sculptor, is a brother-in-law of William Dean Howells. W. H. Sherwin of Kansas City is a cousin of the novelist, and the offer evening told this story: "Someone asked Mr. Howells why he did not have Mead, a talented painter, but he asked the artist as well as a sculptor, illustrate him. Howells replied: "I have asked him, so but he has answered me by saying that if he made the pictures he would have to read my books, and he would be hanged if he ever did that." Maybe They Were Friendly The Mesopotamian valley, up which the British expedition from the Persian gulf has made its way, is, according to tradition, man's first—and last—paradise. But Tommy Akkins, toiling through the sand under a blazing sun, fighting fleas and flies as well as Turks and Arabs, did not find the country Edenic. One night when the troops were to sleep one soldier was to sleep to another: "Ere, Bill, if this is the Eden of Eden, I wonder what Adam and Eve did with these 'ere mosquitoes abuzin' around 'em!"

The Sausage, Declares the Government, isn't What It Was Fifty Years Ago. A half a century ago sausage sizzled and burst. On a cold fall evening it diffused a pleasing aroma through the house, and the children, drawn to the kitchen by an irresistible compulsion, were quite sure to get underfoot—which was the great childish erime. Sausage was then at the zenith of its power. It had all seasons for its own, but preferably the fall and the winter of our content. When you say that it sizzled in the pan, you have said much. Sometimes it was necessary to prick it with a fork, lest it burst and the send the hot fat flying about the stove. The odor of sage was in the air and the prepared sausage had about it a crispy, frizzly, sagy "bite" that was delicious. But how changed! How fallen from its high estate! Sometimes, we are led to fear, never to rise again. "Commercialism" insinuated its way into the sausage trade, the false commercialism of the writers on political economy. Chopped beef took its place on the links beside the pig, and it has even been said that considerable water was forced into this unnatural federation. Be that as it may, somewhere about the time of the Caliphate of Ben Harrison sausage lost its size. Appeals to the meat men seem to be of little effect, though here and there gleams of hope are held out to the hand only to become apples of Sodom to the teeth. Some of the savants who have studied the subject find that in the old days there was youth, and the appetite that waits on wood sawed in the open air, mixed into the ingredients of the sausage. But this cannot be so, for the children of today show by their actions that sausage is simply food, set on the table, and on a par table, other two foods. They eat it, and make no difference. No, sausage has changed!—Minneapolis Journal. Device That Enables Motorman to Tell at a Glance if He is Running on Time. A time-schedule indicator particularly useful for motormen, is being employed on an English street car line. The central portion of the device consists of an ordinary clock. About the face of the clock is a large circular frame into which is fitted a cardboard ring. This is divided by ra- diating lines into 60 equal segments corresponding to the minutes of the hour. The names of the stops on the motorman's trip are written in clockwise order on this ring. The number of spaces separating the names corresponds to the number of minutes apart these points are on the schedule. The cardboard is then placed in the frame so that, at the time of starting, the minute hand of the clock will point to the name of the place where the journey begins. As the trip continues the motorman can tell at a glance whether he is ahead or behind his schedule. If desired, the return journey can be indicated on the other side of the cardboard. In case the trip is of more than an hour's duration a second ring can be inserted at the end of the first hour.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Psychology Gets Its Bumps. Psychology was handed a brand new bump by the aldermen of New York, who do not believe that the cops of the city should be taught the science of the mind in order to detect criminals. Recently the police commissioner appointed two doctors to teach psychology to the uniformed force. After qualifying, a cop was supposed to be able to tell the condition of a man's mind by the he灯 a cigar or a cigarette, scratched his nose or answered the simplest question. The city fathers' upper lips curied when the request for the pay for the psychology teachers was read at the meeting. "The taxpayers' grief is the greatest challenge," said the president. "They've paid to preserve the peace and not to read men's minds by outward actions. And intelligent cop can come pretty near distinguishing between a sane man and one who isn't." It looks as if the psychologists will be dealt with harshly. Killing Germa by Machinery. In order to prevent epidemics a wonderful system of regular daily disinfection is now carried out behind the battle lines, and war is waged against microbes on a wholesale scale. Specially designed machines are used in carrying out this work. Each machine consists of a steam lorry with two huge portable disinfectors, which are able to disinfect the clothes of a battalion of men in two hours. The cleansing agency is steam, which is generated by the lorry engine itself, and this plays upon the garments and articles placed inside two large cylinders mounted on a dragon. A very long section of the front is covered by these portable killers of germs in the field, and more than one epidemic has been nipped in the bud, thanks to their timely aid. So There You Are.

Jackson was the only Negro farmer near Boulder, Colo. He was industrious and was well liked by his white neighbors, but in the planting and harvest times when there was a dearth of farmlands they could generally outbid him in the labor marsh. He worked without assistance at the crucial time, so found it impossible to keep colored faces in any length of time because, with no other members of their race near at hand, they found it a lonely life. In 1906 Jackson began to think about the situation and decided that what was needed was a community of colored people which would be large enough to be self-sufficient. Having come to a decision he started to work out his plans. Since then there has grown up on former government land in Weld county, Colo., a settlement of 250 Negro men and women fairly started toward independence. The name of the settlement is Dearfield, and the forces behind it is the Dearfield Developing company, organized on a cooperative basis and preaching self-help. The story of the struggles which the founder and the small group of pioneers which he gathered around him had, and of the momentum which the movement gained as it became successful, is told by W. J. Harsha in an interview with Jackson in the Southern Workman. Efforts were first made to obtain suitable land from the state land of face, but none was found available. Then attention was directed to the federal authorities and locations were offered in three different counties in Colorado, Jackson and the two or three men whom he had associated with him finally selected the Weld county site because of its fertility, water and good rail road connection to the kets of Denver only 70 miles away. The Jackson family was the first to settle, in May, 1910, and a home was established a year later. Of the first settlers Mr. Jackson says: "I met most of the first settlers in a casual way—in restaurants and barber shops and on street corners. It was invited to speak at our Denver church on the importance to our people of getting land before it is too late; after the meeting people crowded around me asking for particulars. After several men had fired they sent their friends to me. Woman claima-tima—widows, spinsters, deserters. We publish a little paper and motion in it all things made, and this attracted attention. I am now receiving lots of mail and many callers asking for homes. "The Dearfield settlers were as poor as people could be when they took up homesteads. Their advancement has been something wonderful for our people, who know nothing of pioneer life. Some who filed on their claims had not enough money to ship their household goods and pay all their railroad fare. They paid their fare as far as they could and walked the balances of the way to Dearfield. Soon after arriving in Dearfield they secured work with the wealthy-white farmers in the district and began to build houses on their claims. Some lived in tents, others in dugouts, and some in natural caves in hillsides. "The first year there were only seven families in the settlement, and we had only three teams. We managed to get in some garden corn, melons, pumpkins, squash, Mexican --- A big piece of work done at Daytona, by Mrs. Mary McLoehns Bethune was the clearing up of the turpentine districts. Such places have an evil reputation in the South. A man will buy a large tract of pine forest for the purpose of getting the turpentine. He puts up a few shanties and a distillery and gathers together the riff-raff that he can find on the streets to work for and pay and large premiums for him. Women are sent out as cooks, and the place is soon unavoidably spoken of as a "turpentine camp." "We are changing conditions down there," Mrs. Bethune declared. "Once a week two or three workers or students of the school are sent to the various camps to speak to the women and children. The people are shown the right method of living, the dignity of the home, and the error of their ways. The children get three months of schooling every year. The men get higher wages and we have learned how to judiciously. We have established a temperance sentiment in everything, and have driven out strong drink.

We cleared a new acres for hay ground, removing the sagebrush by hand, the women and children wielding grubbers as industriously as the men, though not as stardily, perhaps, and after grubbing we plowed, harrowed and burned the remaining brush." Suffering in the little community was intense during the first winter. There were only two frame houses. Firewood had to be carried from three to seven miles. Three of the horses died from starvation, and the other three were too weak to pull even an empty wagon. Mr. Jackson continued. Yet the little group managed to keep up their own and each other's courage, and after the first winter was weathered, further problems and hardships were more easily met and overcome. Now in addition to having settled all the available claims, a small Negro town is growing up at Dearfield, where professional men, tradespeople, artists and manufacturers on a small scale serve the needs of the farming community. From the inception of the settlement Jackson and his colleagues tried to advertise their movement for a Negro farming community in such a way that white people would not hear about it and come in and take up the land where it was hopeful that colored farmers would settle. These efforts were only successful in a measure, and many of the best locations were taken up by white settlers. At the same time Mr. Jackson speaks with considerable satisfaction of the type of white man who came into the community, and of the fact that most of them have shown a willingness to sell out their holdings at reasonable valuations to prospective Negro settlers. Owing to the laws governing the taking up of homesteads it was not possible for the settlers to gather together and clear one common plot for cultivation. Instead, the method of cooperative help used was for a group to collect on the homestead of one settler after another and clear away enough land on each claim to grow the prospective crop. In that way each colonist soon had under cultivation the amount of land required by the government for proving his title to the homestead. After the first few years, during which it was absolutely necessary to devote all the tillable land available to the cultivation of the commonest staples and forage for the stock, the farmer gradually began to add various kinds of vegetables and fruits, including the可食able watermelon, not only for home consumption, but also as a surplus, was raised, for sale in the market, to improve the yield of the crops, particularly hay, until now the colony has passed from the stage of hard self-sufficiency to increasing prosperity.

GERMAN MACHINE GUNS MOW DOWN RUSSIAN MASSES Terrific Assaults of the Czar's Soldiers in Ten Days Bloody Battle. DEAD PILED HIGH ON FIELD "Magnificent, but Criminal," Says Teuton Officer, in Describing Advance Made by Slaves in Face of Certain Death. BY OSWALD F. SCHUETTE. (Special Correspondent of Chicago Daily News). With Field Marshal von Hindenburg's Armies, Near Postbury, Russia. — I have come to these blood-drenched battlefields too late to see the terrific assaults of the great Russian offensive, so I can only tell the story of this battle that raged day after day by picturing the scenes as I find them and piecing together 'into one ghastly mosaic the fragments of what I am told I have talked with officers and men of the Russian regiments that held back the Russian deluge and have carefully gone over the statements of the Russian prisoners. This battlefield consists of an open glade cut through the Russian primeval forest. It runs almost due north and south and varies in width from 400 to 1,560 yards. The Russians were entrenched along the eastern edge of this opening, while the forest behind offered splendid opportunities for concealing movements of troops and emplacements of artillery. The German lines skirt the western edge of the clade. Battle Lasts Ten Days. The Russian fighting at this point lasted ten days before the czar's troops finally gave up their attempt to break through the German lines. On the first day the Russian fire was sporadic, apparently to make certain the range of the guns. Then for two days more the guns bombardment continued, but now it was a real "drum fire." This means that the cannonading is so heavy that it sounds like the rattle of a drum. On the afternoon of the third day the Russian drum fire was suddenly lifted from the German trenches and converted into a "sperferreu" (certain fire) back of the German lines to prevent the bringing up of reserves. It was Russian attack. On of the forest came the storming Russians straight for the German lines, straight into the curtain of German artillery fire that tore great gaps in the attacking columns, though these quickly closed up. In the meantime the German troops rushed out of their dugouts into the water-filled and shell-torn trenches. In a moment the machine guns were jerked out of the bombproof protection, and after being hastily mounted on the wreckage of the breastworms, began to sputter their fearful greeting to the Russians. Between the machine guns rattled the infantry fire. There was no time for giving commands and there was no need of any. There were no volleys. Each German soldier fired as fast as he could. "The german infantry would halt and fire toward the German trenches, but it was hard to aim, and the bullets carefully checked the withering crash of machine gun and rifle fire. Stopped at Barbed Wire. The Russian wave reached the barbed wire entanglements before the German breastworks, but came no farther. "Torn, heaten and shattered into a thousand fragments, the remnants of the Russian host beat a retreat. How many reached the protection of their trenches under the unceasing German fire no one can tell, but the ground between the German and Russian lines was covered with dead and dying. There was no further attack that night. Toward morning the thunder of the cannon quieted and the cries of the wounded were almost stilled by daybreak. The great battlefield was asleep only for an hour when the action of the fourth day began with another terrific drum fire, which lasted until long past noon. Again the Russian wave broke from the forests, but it had hardly got out of the woods before the German artillery opened fire. Again shells tore open the ranks; again the machine guns pilod up the dead. The task was more terrible than on the day before, as the Russians had to storm over the bodies of their dead comrades. Again the night was freezing cold, again the hours were hideous with the cries of the dying men out there on the battlefield and again the darkness was filled with the thunder of cannon. To prevent a night attack, the Germans kept up a discharge of illuminating rockets as a blue-green glare on the ghastfulness of the dead of death. But no Russians dared to advance. At daybreak the Russians opened with a third drum fire. This time it was more terrible than on the previous occasions, for it was directed not only on the German trenches, but deep into the lines behind them, to hold Woman Students Say Men May Smoke and Play Bridge, but Must Not Drink.

THE BYSTANDER 1930 A life-saving suit which keeps the wearer's head above water and his body warm even in zero weather has been perfected by T. E. Aud, of Hernon, Va. The suit was tested in the Potomac river in the presence of Gen. George Uhler and other officers of the United States steamboat inspection service, the test resulting in a favorable, though unofficial, report by General Uhler. The lower part of the suit contains four pounds of lead to keep the wearer's heart is filled with cork to float the body in an upright position. The material is non-conducting so that the heat of the body will keep the wearer alive for four days in ice water, the inventor claims. In the picture Mr. Aud is shown wearing the suit. back the reserves and prevent the bringing up of relief to the half-frozen German soldiers, who, bundled up, were standing in the water-filled dugouts waiting for the attack which they knew not was inevitable. At eight o'clock the attack came and this time it was more successful. Despite the artillery, despite the machine guns and despite the infantry fire, the apparently inexhaustible regiments of Russians swept on over the dead, over the barbed-wire barriers before the German line, over the first trenches and routed the German soldiers, who were half frozen in the mud of their shattered shelters. A terrific hand-to-hand conflict followed. Hand grenades tore down scores of defenders and assailants alike. The men fought like manifacs with spades, bayonets, knives and clubbed guns. Within 100 Feet of Victory. But the Russians won at a fearful price for so slight a gain. It might have been worth more had the Russian deluge swept farther, but it did not. The Russians stopped within a hundred feet of victory. It may have been lack of discipline, lack of officers or lack of reserves; no one knows. The Russians seemed helpless in the German trench; instead of sweeping on into the second lines they tried to intrench themselves in the wrecked German first line. Immediately German artillery buried shells of the heaviest caliber into these lines, and tore them into fragments. Then came the German reserves, and by nightfall the Russians had again taken prisoners, 800 of them being taken prisoners. Four days of almost absolute quiet followed, with only occasional artillery fire and now and then a sputtering infantry volley across the glade with its burden of death when the scout posts on either side thought they saw the enemy.

One girl wrote: "What is money to me? Give me a true, loving husband and a cottage."

Smoking would be permitted, even demanded, by a large number of the again and the field of battle was an almost unimaginable swamp. Attack Without Drum Fire. On the eighth day reports reached the German lines that the Russians intended to make a surprise attack that night without any drumming. The German artillery therefore shelted the Russian woods at a terrific rate at hourly intervals through the night. All the troops remained on duty without a minute of sleep, but no Russians came. The next day was quiet. That night again it was feared there might be a surprise attack and so again the German artillery shelted the Russian lines until morning. But there was no attack until the following moon, when without any artillery preparation, the Russian onslaught was repeated. A German officer told me the story of that attack. He said that if he had not seen it himself he would never have believed it possible that as attack would come out of the Russian woods, where the lines were almost 1,500 yards apart. Suddenly, without any warning a mud-colored wave began to pour forth from the forest. It was a line of Russians three ranks deep, containing more than 1,000 men. They marched step by step, and did not run. Behind this was a second wave like the first and then a third, the intervals between them being about 150 yards. The German artillery hole holes in the ranks, which merely closed up again, marched on and made an attempt to fire. They marched, as though on parade. "It was magnificent, but criminal," said the German officer. Then came a fourth line like the other three. The first line was less than 1,400 yards from the German trenches. It came so slowly that it was possible for the Germans to make plans with cruel precision to meet it. Caught Between Walls of Fire When the fourth line emerged from the Russian wood the German artillery dropped a curtain of fire behind it and then a similar wall of shells ahead of those in front. They then moved these two walls closer together with a hail of shrapnel between them, while at the same time they cut loose with the machine guns. The splendid formation of Russians, trapped between the walls of fire, scattered heedlessly in every direction, but in vain. Shells gouged deep holes in the dissolving ranks. The air was filled with clamor and frantic shrieks were sometimes heard above the incestant roar and cracking or exploit g projectiles. Deafened men sought to dig them selves into the ground in the foolish belief that they could find safety there this deluge of shells. Others raced madly for the rear and some escaped in this way as by a miracle. Still others ran toward the German lines, only to be cut down by the German machine-gun fire. In less than twenty minutes the terrible drama was over. The attack had cost the Russians 4,000 lives, and within not a Russian soldier had come within 500 yards of the German lines. "It was a terrible battle," she said, as she described the battle. It was the last gasp of the Russian offensive at this point.

Institution Has Been Kept Extremely Busy Lately Handling the Foreign Shipments That Have Come in Such Large Amounts. Within the heart of a Wall street block in New York city is the unpreintentions building of the United States assay office. Nothing from its exterior indicating the great wealth contained therein. For the past few months, the various departments have been working to full capacity, endeavoring to handle the great shipments of gold forwarded to this country in payment for munitions of war. When the storage JUSTICE Weighing the Gold. space was filled the overflow was put in the vaults of the subtreasury building adolaining. Armed guards are stationed at the entrance and in the rooms wherever deemed essential to protect the wealth of gold that is there. System is observed everywhere. When the foreign coin is received in New York the iron-bound boxes are opened and the bags of coins carefully weighed and recorded. As the alloy standards of France, England and this country are so nearly the same, the process is not a complicated one. The scales are so finely adjusted that the result is disclosed to a very small fraction of an ounce. The bags of gold are then taken to the smelting room and the metal melted. At the right temperature the molten stream is run into brick-shaped moulds, and when full, powdered charcoal is sprinkled over the top and a second mould placed upon it; when this is full another is added and this process is repeated till there are tier after tier of bricks. After these are weighed and marked they are ready for our mint. The work is more complicated with the bullion. While the weighing and moulding the sand is in order to rpgduce the long back to the parts chemicals and electricity must be applied. The silver is separated and run into special moulds. From the remainder the gold, platinum, tridium, etc. is separated. The gold obtained in this manner is pure and is melted into bars of different sizes. After being tested and stamped, they are put away till wanted. War Raises Drug Prices. The big war in Europe is helping to make it costly, if not criminal, to be ill these days. The proverbial ounce of prevention is not only better than a pound of cure, but it is a hundred times cheaper. The war has added from 25 to 300 per cent to the consumer's cost of these drugs, and many of them—entirely disappeared from the market—cannot be obtained at any price. In many instances no sign of lower prices appears. In others there is certainty that diminishing supply must result in the most outlandish price figures. Factors in staple drugs affected by the war are, they insist, endowing to conserve the limited resources of the prohibitive figures—not for the gouging the consumer, but to make it possible to hold on to enough of the precious products to supply emergencies. Veronal, its solutions and compounds has almost disappeared from the market, and antipirum, to be had in only moderate quantities, has advanced from 35 cents to $5 per ounce. It Was Too Big a Job. It may not be generally known that Larkin Goldsmith Mead, the American sculptor, is a brother-in-law of William Dean Howell. W.H. Sherwyn of Kansas City is a cousin of the novelist, and the other evening told this story: "Someone asked Mr. Howell why he did not have Mead, a talented painter. He asked me to paint a sculptor, illustrate his books." Howell replied: "I have asked him to do so, but he has answered me by saying that if he made the pictures he would have to read my books, and he would be hanged if he ever did that." Maybe They Were Friendly. The Mesopotamian valley, up which the British expedition from the Persian gulf has made its way, is, according to tradition, man's first—and last—paradise. But Tommy Atkins, toiling through the sand under a blazing sun, fighting fleas and flies as well as Turks and Arabs, did not find the country Eden. One night when the troops were trying to alight one soldier was beheaded to say to anyone "Ere, Bill, if this is the Garden of Eden, I wonder what Adam and Eve did with these 'ere mosquitoes a-buzzin' around 'em?" A Clincher. "I have here," said the book agent "a set of books which should be in every home." "Not in this one," snapped the man of the house. "I have no time for reading and I hate the very sight of a book夹." "Other than these books are the very things you need. Just think how handy they'll be to throw at the next book agent that comes alone." The Sausage, Declares the Government, Isn't What It Was Fifty Years Ago. A half a century ago sausage sizzled and burst. On a cold fall evening it diffused a pleasing aroma through the house, and the children, drawn to the kitchen by an irresistible compulsion, were quite sure to get underfoot—which was the great childish ermine. Sausage was then at the zenith of its power. It had all seasons for its own, but preferably the fall and the winter of our content. When you say that it sizzled in the pan, you have said much. Sometimes it was necessary to prick it with a fork, lest it burst and the hot fat firing about the stove. The odor of sage was in the air and the prepared sausage had about it a crispy, frizzly, sizable "bite" that was delicious. But how changed? How fallen from its high estate? Sometimes, we are led to fear, never to rise again. "Commercialism" insinuated its way into the sausage trade, the false commercialism of the writers on political economy. Chopped beef took its place on the links beside the pig, and it has even been said that considerable water was forced into this unnatural federation. Be that as it may, somewhere about the time of the Caliphate of Ben Harrison sausage lost its size. Appeals to the meat men seem to be of little effect, though here and there gleams of hope are held out to the hand only to become apples of Sodom to the teeth. Some of the savants who have studied the subject find that in the old days there was youth, and the appetite that waits on food is open in the arm, made in the ingredients of the sausage. But this cannot be so, for the children of today show by their actions that sausage is simply food, set on the table, and on a par with all other foods. They eat it, and make no comment. No. sausage has changed!—Minneapolis Journal. Device That Enables Motorman to Tell at a Glance if He Is Running on Time. A time-schedule indicator particularly useful for motormen, is being employed on an English street car line. The central portion of the device consists of an ordinary clock. About the face of the clock is a large circular frame into which is fitted a cardboard ring. This is divided by ra- diating lines into 60 equal segments corresponding to the minutes of the hour. The names of the stops on the motorman's trip are written in clockwise order on this ring. The number of spaces separating the names corresponds to the number of minutes apart these points are on the schedule. The cardboard is then placed in the frame so that, at the time of starting, the minute hand of the clock will point to the name of the place where the journey begins. As the trip continues the motorman can tell at a glance whether he is ahead or behind his schedule. If desired, the return journey can be indicated on the other side of the cardboard. In case the trip is of more than an hour's duration a second ring can be inserted at the end of the first hour.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Psychology Gets Its Bumps. Psychology was handed a brand new bump by the aldermen of New York, who do not believe that the cops of the city should be taught the science of the mind in order to detect criminals. Recently the police commissioner appointed two doctors to teach psychology to the uniformed force. After qualifying, a cop was supposed to be able to tell the condition of a man's mind by the he灯 a cigar or a cigarette, scratched his nose or answered the simplest question. The city fathers' upper lips curled when the request for the pay for the psychology teachers was read at the meeting of the neurologists made of cops," said the president. "They're paid to preserve the peace and not to read men's minds by outward actions. An intelligent cop can come pretty near distinguishing between a sane man and one who isn't." It looks as if the psychologists will be dealt with harshly. Killing Germa by Machinery. In order to prevent epidemics a wonderful system of regular daily disinfection is now carried out behind the battle lines, and war is waged against microbes on a wholesale scale. Specially designed machines are used in carrying out this work. Each machine consists of a steam lorry with two huge portable disinfectors, which are able to disinfect the clothes of a battalion of men in two hours. The cleaning agency is steam, which is generated by the lorry engine itself, and this plays upon the garments and articles of the two large cylinders mounted on the front long section of the front can be covered by these portable killers of germs in the field, and more than one epidemic has been nipped in the bud, thanks to their timely aid.

Beside the hygienic, there is the esthetic side of vegetable and meat combinations. Potatoes have little flavor and are better borne by the palate than many other vegetables. In consequence in many homes they are served daily and offender. In our food combinations if we please the eye we will please the palate and thus the stomach is also pleased. There are certain foods which seem made to go together. For example, mutton with rice, and lamb with peas. Group with these some pleasing combination of green vegetables and the main part of the menu is thought out. For a roast beef main dish, mashed or baked potatoes, spinach, cauliflower, cooked cabbage, brussels sprouts or string beans are good combinations. With boiled beef we like turnips or carrots and plain boiled potatoes, with a lettuce with French dressing or a cold slaw, celery or sliced tomatoes. With boiled turmeric, vaper sauce and rice with stewed turnips, or asparagus or green peas. Breaded chops with tomato sauce and peas. Lamb, mint sauce, rice and peas, or a dish of young carrots. Roast turkey, potato croquettes, boiled onions and a green salad. Cranberry jelly. Rapeseed apple sauce, stewed onions and a lettuce salad. Roast duck—stuff with celery and serve orange salad with French dressing. Geees—stuff with potato flavored with onion; serve apple sauce and sauerkraut. The goose may also be stuffed with apple and prunes and the salad be of watercress. Venison—serve a spiced grape jelly, mashed potatoes and lettuce and to mate sauce. Boiled chicken, cream sauce, wafé fisa. With fish—potatoes are always served. The mintage of wisdom is to know that real life is love, laughter and work.

Chicken Pudding or Souffle—Chop the uncooked white meat of the chicken, then rub it fine. Put half a cupful of dry bread crumbs with a cupful of milk over the fire to soften, add the chicken, salt, pepper and the yolks of three eggs, beaten. Mix well, then fold in the well-beaten whites and put into a buttered baking dish. Bake in a moderate oven twenty minutes or until it is firm. Serve at once or it will fail. It is much better to entertain two or three guests on different days than to give us a large affair which upsets the routine of the day before entertaining company one might have turkey, then the cold slice meat may be used in various ways or served in sandwiches for the evening. A pineapple or Edam cheese keeps well and is perhaps a more economical cheese to buy unless cheese is bought in very small quantities. Loft-over fish may be served in a cream sauce or in a salad, making very good dishes so that one may buy a fish, boll or bake it and not feel that it is too expensive for the small family. The following is a good dinner menu for the small family: Tomato soup, broiled slice of fish with lemon butter, potato balls, sliced cucumbers with French dressing, apple pie, cheese and coffee.

Good Furniture Polish WASTE PRODUCTS FROM CANNERIES MAY BE UTILIZED Cherry Pits, Now Source of Annoyance, Can Be Made to Yield Valuable Oils. NEW INDUSTRY IS POSSIBLE Specialists in U. S. Department of Agriculture Declare Also That 105,000 Gallons of Juice Now Thrown Away May Be Converted Into Jelly and Sirup. Washington, D. C.-Sixteen hundred tons of cherry pits, now a source of annoyance and expense to canners, can be made to yield two valuable oils and also a meal for feeding cattle, according to specialists of the United States department of agriculture. In addition, 105,000 gallons of cherry juice now wasted in searing cherries can be turned into alcohol jelly and sirup, or even vinegar. A saving of abuse, wusable by-products from cherry canning may make possible the domestic manufacture of substitutes for almond oil and bitter-almond oil, now imported, and at the same time establish a new industry in the cherry packing districts of the North Atlantic, North Central and Western states. The specialists, however, have not yet carried their work to a point where they can say that the converting of this juice and the cherry pits would be a profitable side industry for the ordinary or smaller cannery. In cases where a number of canners are operating within a reasonable distance of one another, the specialists, however, believe that the waste products could be sent to a central co-operative or other plant at small cost and there utilized to advantage. Studies, however, are being carried on to determine whether means cannot be devised for making these waste products profitable also when handled on a small scale. Some time ago there was similar investigation of the use of peach and apricot pits for making oils and meal, and a commercial enterprise has been established in California for dealing with these products. The department has published a bulletin on this subject and also one dealing with the utilization of raisin seed from the seeded raisin industry. It was found that many tons of raisin seed had considerable fruit content, and when turned into a very desirable raisin slurp for use of confectioners and others. After this pulp had been used it was found that an oil useful in the arts could profitably be pressed from the seed, and experiments are under way to determine whether the crushed seed could not be used to advantage in feeding stock. The following description of these products, and methods which have been developed for making them, are taken from professional paper 350, "The Utilization of Cherry By-Products," by Frank Rabak, chemical biologist, bureau of plant industry. "The kernel of the pit, as long has been known, contains a considerable quantity of oil. Investigations recently conducted show that the oily constituents of the kernel can be converted into a fixed oil much like almond oil and a volatile oil practically identical with oil of bitter almonds.

Lynn, Mass. - Twenty aerosplanes with 1,000 horsepower engines, which are expected to cross the Atlantic in 30 hours, are to be built at the Burgess Aerospace company plant at Marblehead for the United States government. THE BYSTANDER The residue after these oils are extracted shows on analysis ingredients that may make it a practical cattle feed similar to lined cake. "The fixed oil is the most important by-product of cherry pits. It has a golden yellow color and a pleasant nutlike taste and odor. In character it is so closely related to imported almond oil that it is believed to possess the characteristics in the commercial manufacture of drugs, oils and soap. "If the pits of all domestic cherries, now thrown away at canneries, and the pits extracted from imported cherries, were processed in this way it is estimated that they would yield 320, 000 pounds of fixed oil, worth in the neighborhood of twenty cents a pound. The best quality of this fixed oil is extracted from the kernels in hydraulic presses. The shells of the pits are first cracked in a mill and the uncrushed kernels separated out with sieve. The oil is then pressed out from the meats. In a laboratory experiment the kernels yielded 21 per cent of fixed oil under a pressure of 2,750 pounds to the square inch. On a commercial scale, however, with presses equipped for heating the kernels under pressure, it is believed that 30 per cent or more can be obtained. The oil also can be obtained by grinding the pits and extracting by means of solvents. Volatile Oil Second Product. "The volatile oil, the second product, remains in the pressed cake after the fixed oil has been extracted by pressure or by solvents. The volatile oil is then secured by chemical means and distillation. In the experiments the oil was obtained at the rate of nearly one pound for every 100 pounds of residue treated. It is estimated that 100 pounds of oil could be obtained if all the cherry pits handled at canneries could be used. The value of this by-product ARMY IS MAGNET Illicit Dispensers of Liquor Busy in Dry Territory Along Mexican Border. Cook With Troopers at Columbus Pedias Refreshments From Hia Oaken Limb Until Officers Discovered Source of Supply. Columbus, N. M.—Everywhere that the broad trail of the army leads, the trail of the "bootlegger" parallels. Particularly if the route of the troopers lies through dry territory, the illicit dispenser of the draft that sometimes cheers is a hanger-on. And he has a million and one ways to evade the regulations. The bootlegger arrived in Columbus about ten seconds after Uncle Sam's soldier boys. He did a profitable business, especially around pay day. Some of the troopers, disgruntled because they were forced to remain in inactive while their mates were playing hide-and-seek with Villa in the sand dunes, were intent on drowning their sorrows. Others celebrated their good fortune when they were ordered to cross the line. "Pegleg" is, or was, a cook for the civilian employees of the quartermaster's department. The name comes from his portside limb, which is of sturdy oak. After the troops arrived, Pegleg seemed always to be in the mood that can come only from looking on the wine when it is red. And he became surprisingly prosperous. His condition drew the suspicion of the army authorities. Lieut. Austin M. Pardee of the Twentieth infantry, detailed as a provost marshal, decided that Pegleg would bear watching. After several hours of watchful waiting he saw two troopers slide up to Pegleg's tent and in distinctly audible tones bid Pegleg to "set out the joy juice." Pegleg was complying when Lieutenant-Pardee arrested the three. "I won't go!" declared Pegleg, and promptly lay down. "Get two men to carry him," suggested a sergeant. "Get nothing," decided Lieutenant Pardee. "You fellows take off his pants and his leg, and let him lie there. He won't escape on one leg, that is certain." Pegleg protested vigorously, but it availed him nothing. The pants came off, likewise the leg, and with the latter came the secret of Pegleg's success at dispensing. The leg was hollow, lined with tin, and held at least a half a gallon of liquor. Pegleg, his stores confiscated and poured into a dry but unappreciative desert, was landed on an eastbound freight. Half an hour later Lieutenant Pardee saw a white-haired, venerable gentleman alight from an eastern passenger train. He carried a suitcase. Two soldiers greeted the old man affectionately. "Got anything good?" queried Lieutenant Pardee. "S--s-h-h; it's six bits a bottle. I got to get big money because its risky business here," replied the aged one. "So it is," commented the lieutenant as he took the suitcase and started leading the procession for the jail. Since the troops have been here, construction and as soon as it is completed aviation experts stationed at the United States school of aerial instruction will test it. It is estimated that these machines will cover 100 miles an hour. Old enough to Know Better. Paris—The French courts refused to grant a divorce to a woman seventy years old, because of the age of the parties and the length of time the marriage had lasted. The husband is eighty-five years old. based on the current prices for the very similar imported bitter-almond oil, would be in the neighborhood of $54,000. "The press cake left after both fixed and volatile oils have been removed, is believed to contain substances which may make it a desirable stock food. Its most important constituents, as shown by analysis, are fat, protein, including nitrogen compounds, and sugar and other carbohydrates. The protein amounts to 30 per cent and in this the cake compares favorably with other stock foods. If cherry kernel meal proves in practice to be as good for feed as the laboratory analysis would indicate, the annual value of this product would be about $12,000. Much Juice Is Wasted. "The 105,000 gallons of cherry juice wasted each year in the canneries, the experiments show, would, if collected and treated, produce 85,000 gallons of desirable jelly or a large quantity of table syrup, or could be made to ferment and produce alcohol. In the experiments a cherry jelly, bright red in color and with a fruity odor, was made by concentrating the cherry juice with can sugar in a vacuum. A small amount of gelatin was then added and the mixture allowed to cool. Other processes in which the concentrated juice is heated with pectin or fruits rich in pectin, the investigators believe might produce even better results. The juice could be made into some 100,000 gallons of an agreeably table syrup by neutralizing the acid in the filtered juice with milk or lime and concentrating it by evaporation and then settling or filtering out the lime compounds. "The cherry juice, if fermented by the addition of yeast and then distilled, can be made to yield 36 per cent alcohol or about 600 gallons.

CO-ED GOWNS ARE CENSORED Some Girl- Sent Home From Dances — Frocks Are Too Low at Top or Too High at Bottom. Bloomington, Ind.—The Indiana uni- versity, authorities have established a censorship of clothes worn by the “coods.” The censorship 4s in charge of Miss Ruby C. B. Mason, dean of women, who is attending all dances and inspecting the frocks and gowns. If the evening gowns of the girls do not conform to regulations as to length and style, the wearers are sent back to their rooms for a change of attire. This has happened to several young women recently. The censorship is established because of the loyalty of the Indiana “co-eds” to the prevailing styles, especially in dancing frocks. The frocks have been cut so low from the chin and so high from the ground that they have been shocking to some, the university authorities say, all during the winter. GIRL RIDES BLIND BAGGAGE June Glemen Says Woman Will Do Anything for the Man She Loves. San Jose,—Jane Glemen, held here on a charge of grand larceny, told Deputy Sheriff Buffington that with Louis Long, who is also here, and seven other men, she had ridden the blind baggage from Salinas to San Luis Obispo, pedding stolen goods as opportunity offered. Her explanation was, "You will do anything for the man you love." Rate Lower for Stepmothers. Harrison, N. J.—Joseph Gendiskt, arrested for "kicking his mother," was fined $20.

The neatest yard now has a smooth lawn grass sod kept closely mown, while the flowers and shrubbery are restricted to the sides and rear. This not only renders the lawn more easily kept than where there are flower beds to mow around and trim, or trees or shrubs to doodge, but it is really more restful in appearance. If there is room for only one shrub, let it be Hydrangea paniculata, the magnificent tresses of bloom lasting for weeks. It should be cut back every spring fully half of the previous year's growth. While this may go against the will it insures larger blossoms and more of them. Liberal unmilling with stable mature is also in order. Roots may be transplanted in either spring or fall. The Deutzias have extreme hardness, neat form, profusion of bloom and early blossoms to commend them, and are worthy of a place in any collection. Several of the Spirea are beautiful with graceful rose colored or white blossoms. While not all of these withstand the late frosts which come in May, just when they are ready to put forth their feathery bloom, the beauty of the blossoms when they are perfect atones for an occasional miss. Among June blossoms none are larger than the mock orange, the flowers being as fragrant as beautiful. While the shrub itself is perfectly hardy, late frosts sometimes kill the buds; and an observing grower gives the rule that there will be orange blossoms when there will be peaches. Calycanthus is a curious shrub, the brownish blossom is odorous of strawberries, yet with so many beautiful as well as fragrant blossoms it can scarcely head the list.

In the mild climate of California and some of the southern states, dalesis bloom all the year around. In California these flowers grow very much larger than those of the East, as do all the Pacific coast flowers; but they seem to lack brilliance, and to many persons are not as satisfactory. Luther Burbank developed the Shaeta daisy to a very large and beautiful flower, and this is largely taking the place of the Marguerite or Paris daisy which has long been a favorite with Californiaans. In some colder climates, of course, it is impossible to keep daiesis blooming every month; but by planting different varieties, some of them may be kept blooming nearly the entire summer. The daisy is really not a domesticated flower, as a great many long-growing wild flowers are called dalesis. Many varieties are classed as weeds. In fact, the ox-yed daisy, which is plentiful all through New England lengthen, branch and bear long plumy hairs, either greenish or tinged with red. The Spigella is handsome when in bloom, the tubular blossoms of white, rose or purple being produced in profusion. A variety with leaves variegated with gold is especially pleasing. Instead of planting in rows the fancy is now to group the shrubs and the flowers for cutting. Place the taller ones in the rear with the shorter ones from the front. Arrange that the blooming season shall be prolonged throughout the summer and see that no two specimens with blossoms which do not harmonize in color shall be in bloom side by side at the same time. To make boxes in windows with a northern exposure attractive and cheerful fill them with the following plants: For vines, plant either variegated vincas or English ivy, or both intermingled. Vincas are very bright, but they will not survive exposure to freezing temperature, while English ivy will stand unhurt all through the winter. Either of these vines should be planted about one foot apart. The main part of the boxes can be planted with begonias, which can be procured from any florist in various colors, white, pink, red. The boxes, if planted wholly with material of a uniform height, are apt to have an artificial appearance, to prevent which, plants that saw tall and having a more graceful nabit should be placed, say, one to every half dozen of the others, and for this purpose few plants equal dracaena terminals. Pansies do fairly well in the shade, and so does salvia or scarlet sage. If English ivy is used for a vine, it will be found to be of at least three times the other plants in the boxes are killed by frost the ivy remains and can be left as a decorative plants taken by the plants filled with small evergreens. rizona, Showing the Enormous Crop of One Tree. and some of the northern states, is called white-weed. The chrysanthemum and wild assers are called daisies, and really belong to the same family. While it would not be possible perhaps to have a dairy hedge in bloom all the year, still by planting the various species of daisies, chrysanthemums and asters, some bloom could be had from April to November in all except the extreme northern states. OLD-FASHIONED FLOWERS The rose-geranium stip planted early in May will soon become an immense plant with most luxurious foliage, which is one of the prettiest things for finishing your bouquet. The leaves can be used for scenting handkerchief boxes, and a leaf placed on top of your jelly will give it a delicious flavor. When only a few flowers are grown do not depend on the mignonette alone. There are many other fragrant plants that have the added advantage of being beautiful in form and color. ity, ter- sit, it a B die an accl two, he, si fu corto reg par M dis it B ur own By BETTY PAKE.

Save the white meat for creamed chicken or for pudding and one may have sweet meats from one chicken. EASTERN CITY HOSPITAL Chicken Pudding or Soup—Chop the un cooked white meat of the chicken, then rub it fine. Put half a cupful of dry bread crumbs with a cupful of milk over the fire to soften, add the chicken, salt, pepper and the yolks of three eggs, beaten. Mix well, then fold in the well-beaten whites and put into a buttered baking dish. Bake in a moderate oven twenty minutes or until it is firm. Serve at once or it will fail. It is much better to entertain two or three guests on different days than give a large affair which upsets the routine of the day the day before entertaining for evening company one might have turkey, then the cold slice meat may be used in various ways or served in sandwiches for the evening. A pineapple or Edam cheese keeps well and is perhaps a more economical cheese to buy unless cheese is bought in very small quantities. Left-over fish may be served in a cream sauce or in a salad, making very good dishes so that one may buy a fish, boll or bake it and not feel that it is too expensive for the small family. The following is a good dinner menu for the small family: Tomato soup, broiled slice of fish with lemon butter, potato balls, sliced cucumbers with French dressing, apple pie, cheese and coffee. Mutton Boudina.-Take a pint of finely chopped mutton previously cooked. Cook together for two minutes two tablespoonfuls of soft crumbs and half a cupful of stock or water; add a tablespoonful of butter and the meat nicely seasoned with salt, pepper and onion juice and two well beaten eggs. Set in pan of boiling water and bake until firm. Turn out and garnish each boudin with parsley. Lack of occupation is not rest. A mind quite idle is a mind distressed.

Cabbage With Pork.—This is a homely, old-fashioned dish, but very appetizing. Place half a pound of salt pork in a kettle of boiling water and cook gently for three hours. Place the cabbage in the kettle with the boiling pork and cook until the cabbage is tender. Serve with vinegar. Smoked ham or bacon may be used instead of the pork. If liked. Celeriac.—This is a delicious vegetable tainted by our German friends, and one that should be more often grown. The roots, not the stalks, are used. They are about the size of a turnip. Pare the celeriac, cut in thin slices and let stand in cold water. Drain from this water and drop into boiling water and cook until tender. Drain and rinse in cold water, then reheat in the dish white sauce and serve. Celeriac makes a nice cream or simply cooked and seasoned with butter, salt and pepper and used as a vegetable with chicken it is most appetizing.

Potatoes have little flavor and are better borne by the palate than many other vegetables. In consequence in many homes they are served daily and oftener. In our food combinations if we please the eye we will please the palate and thus the stomach is also pleased. There are certain foods which seem made to go together. For example, mutton with rice, and lamb with peas. Group with these some pleasing combination of green vegetables and the main part of the menu is thought out. With boiled beef we like turnips or carrots and plain boiled potatoes, with a lettuce with French dressing or a cold slaw, celery or sliced tomatoes. With boiled mottled, vaper sauce and rice with stewed turnips, or asparagus or green peas. Breaded chops with tomato sauce and peas. Lamb, mint sauce, rice and peas, or a dish of young carrots.

At fifty, if men and women have lived correctly, physical and mental powers should be at their best, and their waking decides whether these powers continue to a ripe old age. The fountain of eternal youth springs from the river of Coffee enthusiasm, and he is never old who keeps in touch with the moving things of life. Physical and mental nourishment cannot be separated and it is yet one of the unaccountable things that we will not recognize it. A perfect old age has its foundation on youth, one cannot defy all the laws. God for three years and expect to enjoy old age. Someone has said that four-fifths of the diseases which embitter life are caused from improper food or avoidable errors in diet. The child in the building of his structure needs appropriate food. After the building process is complete he needs only that food which repairs tissue and gives heat and energy.

No one laughs at food, hurrying through the meal back to brain work usually has no time for death-bed confidences. A wholesome meal for a brain worker, who takes time to mastigate it, is a small piece of red meat, carefully cooked, a baked potato, a sliced tomato, some boiled rice or a baked apple with cream, cup custard or sponge cake with stewed prunes, whole-wheat bread, with plenty of butter, and a moderate use of coffee.

WASTE PRODUCTS FROM CANNERIES MAY BE UTILIZED Cherry Pits, Now Source of Anny nance, Can Be Made to Yield Valuable Oils. NEW INDUSTRY IS POSSIBLE Specialists in U. B. Department of Agriculture Declare Also That 105,000 Gallons of Juice Now Thrown Away May Be Converted Into Jelly and Shrimp. Washington, D. C.—Sixteen hundred tons of cherry pits, now a source of annoyance and cannery, can be made to yield two valuable oils and also a meal for feeding cattle, according to specialists of the United States department of agriculture. In addition, 105,000 gallons of cherry juice now wasted in seeding cherry can be turned into desalination and shrimp or even fish. A saving of those valuable by-products from cherry canning may make possible the domestic manufacture of substitutes for almond oil and bitter-almond oil, now imported, and at the same time establish a new industry in the cherry packing districts of the North Atlantic, North Central and Western states. The specialists, however, have not yet carried their work to a point where they can say that the converting of this juice and the cherry pits would be a profitable side industry for the ordinary or smaller cannery. In cases where a number of canners are operating within a reasonable distance of one another, the specialists, however, believe that the waste products could be sent to a central co-operative or other plant at small cost and there utilized to advantage. Studies, however, are being carried on to determine whether means cannot be devised for making these waste products profitable also when handled on a small scale. Some time ago there was similar investigation of the use of peach and apricot pits for making oils and meal, and a commercial enterprise has been established in California for dealing with these products. The department has published a bulletin on this subject and also one dealing with the utilization of raisin seed from the seeded raisin industry. It was found that many tons of raisin seed had considerable fruit adhering to them which could read to them into very valuable raisin strap for use in confectioners and others. After this pulp had been used it was found that an oil useful in the arts could profitably be pressed from the seed, and experiments are under way to determine whether the crushed seed could not be used to advantage in feeding stock. The following description of these products, and methods which have been developed for making them, are taken from professional paper 350, "The Utilization of Cherry By-Products," by Frank Rabak, chemical biologist, bureau of plant industry. The "kernel of the pit, as long has been known, contains a considerable quantity of oil. Investigations recently conducted show that the oily constituents of the kernel can be converted into a fixed oil much like almond oil and a volatile oil practically identical with oil of bitter almonds.

Lynn, Mass.—Twenty aeroplanes with 1,000-horsepower engines, which are expected to be built by the Burgs Aeroplane company plant at Marblehead for the United States government. One of the aeroplanes is now under ARMY IS MAGNET FOR BOOTLEGGERS THE BYSTANDER The residue after these oils are extracted shows on analysis ingredients that may make it a practical cattle feed similar to linseed cake. "The fixed oil is the most important by-product of cherry pits. It has a golden yellow color and a pleasant nutlike taste and odor. In character it is so closely related to imported almonds that its believed to possess similar possibilities in the commercial manufacture of drugs, oils and soap. "If the pits of all domestic cherries, now thrown away at canneries, and the pits extracted from imported cherries, were processed in this way it is estimated that they would yield 320, 000 pounds of fixed oil, worth in the neighborhood of twenty cents a pound. The best quality of this fixed oil is extracted from the kernels in hydraulic presses. The shells of the pits are first cracked in a mill and the uncrushed kernels separated out with sieves. The oil is then pressed out from the meats. In a laboratory experiment the kernels yielded 21 per cent of fixed oil under a pressure of 2,750 pounds to the square inch. On a commercial scale, however, with presses equipped for heating the kernels under pressure, it is believed that 30 per cent or more can be obtained. The oil also can be obtained by grinding the pits and extracting by means of solvents. "The volatile oil, the second product, remains in the pressed cake after the fixed oil has been extracted by pressure or by solvents. The volatile oil is then secured by chemical means and distillation. In the experiments the oil was obtained at the rate of nearly one pound for every 100 pounds of residue treated. It is estimated that the volatile oil the second product could be obtained if all the pails handled at canneries could be used.

Cook With Troopers at Columbus Peddies Refreshments From His Oaken Limb Until Officers Discovered Source of Supply. Columbus, N. M. —Everywhere that the broad trail of the army leads, the trail of the "bootlegger" parallels. Particularly if the route of the troopers lies through dry territory, the illicit dispenser of the draft that sometimes cheers is a hanger-on. And he has a million and one ways to evade the regulations. The bootlegger arrived in Columbus about ten seconds after Uncle Sam's soldier boys. He did a profitable business, especially around pay day. Some of the troopers, disgruntled because they were forced to remain inactive while their mates were playing hide-and-seek with Villa in the sand dunes, were intent on drowning their sorrows. Others celebrated their good fortune when they were ordeered to cross the line. "Pegleg" is, or was, a cook for me civilian employees of the quartermaster's department. The name comes from his portside limb, which is of sturdy oak. After the troops arrived, Pegleg seemed always to be in the mood that can come only from looking on the wine when it is red. And he became surprisingly prosperous. His condition drew the suspicion of the army authorities. Lieut. Austin M. Pardee of the Twentieth infantry, detailed as a provost marshal, decided that Pegleg would bear watching. After several hours of watchful waiting he saw two troopers slide up to Pegleg's tent and in distinctly audible tones bid Pegleg to "set out the joy juice." Pegleg was complying when Lieutenant-Pardee arrested the three. "I won't go!" declared Pegleg, and promptly lay down. "Get two men to carry him," suggested a sergeant. "Get nothing," decided Lieutenant Pardee. "You fellows take off his pants and his leg, and let him lie there. He won't escape on one leg, that is certain." Pegleg protested vigorously, but it availed him nothing. The pants came off, likewise the leg, and with the latter came the secret of Pegleg's success at dispensing. The leg was hollow, lined with tin, and held at least a half a gallon of liquor. Pegleg, his stores confiscated and poured into a dry but unappreciative desert, was landed on an eastbound freight. Half an hour later Lieutenant Pardee saw a white-haired, venerable gentleman alight from an eastern passenger train. He carried a suitcase. Two soldiers greeted the old man affectionately. "Got anything good?" queried Lieutenant Pardee. "S--s-h-h; it's six bits a bottle. I got to get big money because its risky business here," replied the aged one. "So it is," commented the lieutenant as he took the suitcase and started leading the procession for the jail. Since the troops have been here, construction and as soon as it is completed aviation experts stationed at the United States school of aerial instruction will test it. It is estimated that these machines will cover 100 miles an hour. Old Enough to Know Better.

"The press cake left after both fixed and volatile oils have been removed, is believed to contain substances which may make it a desirable stock food. Its most important constituents, as shown by analysis, are fat, protein, including nitrogen compounds, and sugar and other carbohydrates. The protein amounts to 30 per cent and in this the cake compares favorably with other stock foods. If cherry kernel meal proves in practice to be as good for feed as the laboratory analysis would indicate, the annual value of this product would be about $12,000. Much Juice Is Wasted. "The 105,000 gallons of cherry juice wasted each year in the canneries, the experiments show, would, if collected and treated, produce 85,000 gallons of desirable jelly or a large quantity of table sriup, or could be made to ferment and produce alcohol. In the experiments a cherry jelly, bright red in color and with a fruity odor, was made by concentrating the cherry juice with can sugar in a vacuum. A small amount of gelatin was then added and the mixture allowed to cool. Other processes in which the concentrated juice is heated with pectin or fruits rich in pectin, the investigators believe might produce even better results. It could be made into some 21,000 gallons of an agreeably flavored table sriup by neutralizing the acid in the filtered juice with milk of lime and concentrating it by evaporation and then settling or filtering out the lime compounds.

While it would not be possible perhaps to have a daisy hedge in bloom all the year, still by planting the various species of daisies, chrysanthemums and asters, some bloom could be had from April to November in all except the extreme northern states. OLD-FASHIONED FLOWERS The rose-geranium sip planted early in May will soon become an immense plant with most luxurious foliage, which is one of the prettiest things for finishing your bouquet. The leaves can be used for scenting handkerchief boxes, and a leaf placed on top of your jelly will give it a delicious flavor. When only a few flowers are grown do not depend on the mignonette alone for fragrance. There are many other fragrances that have the added advantages of being beautiful in form and color. ```markdown ``` By BETTY PAKE HEALTH. HINTS. A.J, Booker. M. D. ‘The essence of Christianity is char- ity. Not the charity which consists of giving away'old clothes and a few preserves, but the charity of mind and ees Te is in this that most of us fail. Fundamentally all of us are same. If we could all be reared under the identical circumstances, which would ‘soon make us of about the same tem- erament we would differ little in opinions and acts, ‘We get our opin- fons and modes of living through the five senses. It is contact with differ- ent things, or the same things under Aifferent circumstances, which makes ‘us come to different conclusions and ‘chuses us to act differently under the Game Secon Ws are wha our past bas madeus and most of us are 80 perverse that we imagine hap- piness to be the opposite of our ex- periences. So"the' Esquimax pictures Heaven to be's place of bright warm fires; the people of the tropics desire @ place where the sun is not hot; ‘poor people Who have a scramble for money imagine ‘a place where the streets are paved with gold, and so on. We admire the opposites. Youth Jooks with. wistful eye upon the sup- posed freedom of maturity, old age casts longing eyes upon ‘the past which will never return. The poor envy. the rich and the adulations which power and wealth bring, pall on ears-which detect deceit. in ‘prof- fererd friendship, ‘The six-foot man, who is the ideal of every runt, wishes he could buy ready made clothes, All of us are modified by the things with which w come in contact. So every” man reflects himself in his opinions of others, unless he is an adept at deceit. Honest people are trustful, thieves are suspicious; under the same circumstances a man would do the same thing he suspects others of, unless perchance he has done them. The real charity of xiving is found with the poor. The finest charity and tolerance is found among people who have suffered, or have been suffering. ‘The most exquisite tyrany is found in people who imagine they are good. ‘Truly good people are mereifal and have charity. ‘When you see some soul who has done what you think is wrong because you have had’ different contact and different teaching, when you see them trying to live up to your ideals, striv- “ing to shake off the memory of past experiences and bruises, extend the hand instead of the tongue and thank God that you have escaped the iden- tical bruise and search your soul to see if you are 80 fortunate as to have no sear that which you fear will show. If you have not, then much more s0 should you be merciful; if your past is not one open book for all the world to read be careful that some one with a tongue as flabby as yours does not happen along and tear the mask of <cespectability-aapase f0r_al)-the.ssorld to see. “The highest culture is to ‘speak’ no ill.” G.
