Ramssey, Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Oustley, city, John. Michel and EDITORS OBSERVATIONS. Again after a week's vacation during the hot days of July we are back to the observation job. In company with my boy, John Nelson, we meted to Perry, a town of about 5,000 population, with about 100 colored people, of which about all of them are employed at the round house. They have a church organization. Among the leaders here are Ben Moore, A. B. Mines, A. Grifin, B. Senney, John A. Tuppeleton and M. L. Lambert. Those who became new subscribers are Mrs. A. B. Burke and Wm. Drwart. We next took a run over to Scandia, a little mining camp of several hundred people almost unknown to our subcribants, yet more than 100 colored people live up here, and several more are moving in here, Mr. G. W. Montague is a successful miner, Robt. Nichols, Ed Flesher, J. W. Owerton and several others are race patriots who are trying to do something. W. S. Miller, former of Bataryse, has moved here, also W. A. Renders and L. I. Smith, who are hard workers. We next motored to Oakalcoon, but did not stay there long enough to observe. We were on our way to attend the grand lodge in Ottawa. However, we all stayed in this quaint town to eat a splendid supper given by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnson. Ottawa being our destination to attend the Masciac grand lodge. Here we observed a great many things. One was the passing away by death of so many prominent and well known citizens. Among them was James Johnson, who worked no many years at the Ballongall hotel. Thomas Spier, a bookkeeper at one of the leading banks. Henry Elliott is one of the best known men here. See his write-up later in the Byrusher. Luther Williams and Walla Fowler were not here. Mr. Fowler had gone to Chicago, where he is preparing to move his family. They expect to make their future home here. Mr. Fowler has lived in this town for the past forty years and was active in church, society and civic life in this community. His whole family will be greatly missed. So in the absence of so many of those prominent citizens we usually meet we can see and feel their loss. Ottawa will be represented this year by Mrs. Cleo Thompson as the news reporter. Mr. Zack Taylor is no longer driving his express quarter of a city. He has for the past quarter a museum that he has for the past and is living on his income. He is well fixed. Mr. G. T. Gooch is working at the packing house. He is a valuable home. J. H.

He is doing a good work here and his church is growing. Mrs. Gilbert, who for many years, has run a restaurant, has gone out of business, so now there is no colored restaurant here. A good investment for some one. Mr. W. V. Hicks and father are still working at the Bellan-gall hotel, as is also P. Barquet. Frank Smith is doing well, working at the same place.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Robert R. Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee institute, will carry on Booker T. Washington's great work in uplifting the Negro race, Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute and member of the General Education board, told the National Education association association at New York. "Booker Washington's life was a distinct victory for the Negro race and for the ideas for which Hampton stands," said Doctor Frissell. "Washington carried from Hampton to Alabama a strong belief in the moral value of regular habits of industry. At the Tuskegee school Hampton ideas were reproduced. Throughout Washington's life he laid emphasis upon duties rather than upon rights. While he was sensitive to the injustices which his race suffers, he felt that the best preventive of injustice is improvement in physical, mental and moral conditions. Because of his real love for men, both white and black, and because he was able to render great a valuable service to both races. Doctor Washington exercised an influence second, perhaps, to that of no other man in this country. "Robert R. Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee, who was commandant at Hampton for many years, like Doctor Washington, spent part of his boyhood in an excellent Virginia home, where he learned to love white people and believe in their kindly disposition toward the blacks. This love and faith he has never lost. Booker T. Washington had certain noteworthy characteristics, possessed also by Robert Moton, in the production of which Hampton may at least claim a share—fairly, love, modesty and service. "Washington and Moton, carrying out Hampton's idea of education for service, believed in the educational value of daily activities. Both preached the doctrine of training the hands, the head and the heart." A Negro bishop has been assigned to St. Louis by the African M. E. Zion church, which recently held its general conference at Louisville, Ky. Rt. Rev. L. W. Kyles of Winston-Salem, N. C., former editor of the Quarterly Review, has been elected to preside over the Missouri conference, which embraces Missouri, southern Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and California. The growth of the denominational work of the Zion church in St. Louis during the last five years, under the lead of the Rev. G. Shaw, through the establishment of a social settlement in connection with the Metropolitan church, at Lucas and Garrison avenues, has placed St. Louis in the lead as a religious center. The educational secretary of the denomination, Prof. J. W. Martin, has been directed to transfer his headquarters to St. Louis. Professor Martin for the last ten years has been president of Arkansas college. He will have charge of 14 schools and colleges, valued at more than $800,000, and will annually dispense an educational fund of $50,000. Captain Morey says the colored troopers sang as they faced death at Carrizal. It will be remembered that the colored troops which helped to storm San Juan hill in the Spanish war went up into the rain of Spanish fire singles in the Anglo-Spanish bravery and devotion ought to be held to the lasting credit of their race in the time to come—Baltimore American. Public Service Commissioner Hayward of New York, who announced his intention of raising a Negro regiment for service in Mexico, if necessary, received scores of applications for membership. Four recruiting stations were opened, one on Lenox avenue, between One Hundred and Thirtheth and One Hundred and Fortieth streets; one in what is known as the San Juan hill district, one in Brooklyn, and a fourth in the suburbs. Colonel Hayward does not believe there will be much difficulty in getting the war department to permit Major Charles Young of the Tenth cavalry, now in Mexico, to take charge of the instruction of the new regiment. In Denmark the cost of living continues to advance. Considering the selling price of foodstuffs, textiles, metals, lumber, oils and labor as 100 in 1812, the index number last March was 1822. It is not believed that the end of the war will result in great relief. A semicircular top for automobiles that drops down of sight behind the seat when not in use has been patented by a Colorado inventor.

There is a barber in Augusta, Me, who has worked in the same shop con- tinuously for 44 years. Kansas has fewer millionaires than other state in the Union. Also it Rev. A. Eustace Day, rector of St. Paul's (colored) church, Atlanta, Ga., and head of St. Paul's Industrial school, met his death June 10 from heart failure, induced by overexertion while in the water at Fernandina Beach, Fln. For some months he had been suffering from the ill effects of overwork, and, on the advice of his bishop, was taking a vacation at Brunswick, Ga. He went on an excursion of the colored churches of Brunswick to Fernandina, went into the water, and was playing with the children, of whom he was very fond, when the cry arose, "Father Day is drowning!" A life line was thrown out and he was brought ashore, but died almost immediately. For 12 years he has ministered to the congregation of St. Paul's church and connected the school connected with the mission. The school has steadily grown up now it has 220 pupils, and now it has besides kindergarten, industrial training, and commercial courses. He was greatly loved and respected by the people of his own race and stood high in the esteem of the bishop and white clergy of his diocese. The burial service was conducted by the bishop of Atlanta, assisted by Rev. J. J. N. Thompson,ector of St. Athanasius (colored) church, Brunswick, Ga., in the A.M. E. church at Blackshear, Ga., Rev. Mr. Day's old home. His death is a severe loss to the colored work in the diocese of Atlanta. Fifty-two years a servant in one place is the record of Ucle Abe McClinney, who has waited on the dining table of the Judson Female college at Murion, Ala., ever since 1864. He is personally known and affectionately regarded by thousands of women all over the country who have attended that institution since the Civil war. The alumnae of Judson recently donated enough to restore McClinney's home, which was destroyed by fire. Uncle Abe is an old Negro of war times. His record for the same job at the college is said to be the longest in the country. In Marion there are almost twenty antebellum Negroes, whose attachment and service of early life bound them until death in the esteem of the white race. None is better known and more highly esteemed than Uncle Abe. He is still on the job, which he says he will hold down until he dies. When Dr. O. L. Shivers was called by the trustees to Judson to take charge of the boarding department in an effort to keep the institution going when Alabamn was prostrate from war, he carried Uncle Abe with him, and the old Negro has served through the succeeding many administrations. The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the District of Columbia (colored) closed its annual session in Washington, D. C., after having elected and installed John S. Jackson as grand chancellor; Alexander Henderson, vice grand chancellor; James F. Armstrong, grand prelate; W. W. Cochran, grand master of exchequer; J. Clay Smith, grand keeper of record and seal; P. W. Busey, grand master at arms; Charles Neal, grand marshal; Sir Campley, grand lecturer; L. E. Murray, grand representative; S. E. Minor and Messrs. Chestam and Wade, trustees. The installation exercises were in charge of Past Grand Chancellor M. F. Johnson. All the fragmentary accounts so far received of the bloody fight between Mexican troops and American cavalry at Carrizal agree that the colored soldiers who were attacked by much larger numbers made a gallant defense. They inflicted heavy losses upon a far more powerful force, the Mexican general in command being one of the slain. The little band of troopers fought until they had suffered very heavy losses, in proportion to their number, and they did their full duty in a position which made success hopeless. This is not the first nor the tenth time that colored soldiers in the service of the United States have shown themselves hard fighters and brave men. In many actions, under widely different conditions, they have been tested and found equal to every reasonable demand. If ever war should come it will be safe to predict that the colored troops of the United States army will make good records and that they will abundantly wipe out the score they have to settle for the treacherous butchery of their comrades of the Tenth cavalry.

Projects for Raising Long-Lost Rich Gallys and Warships Now More Favorably Considered Than Ever Before. Washington.—Must all the millions of dollars that now lie at the bottom of the sea in the form of ships and their suken treasure be forever lost to the world? Most of the vessels that have been sunk, whether by accident or in the course of war, lie in comparatively shallow waters, many of them at a depth of less than 300 feet, and the problem of their recovery does not seem entirely hopeless in the light of recent improvements in deep-sea diving and the feats accomplished by the expert divers of the United States navy. The matter is the subject of an article in the Pacific American Union at Washington. In discussing the organization of companies in the United States whose purpose is the recovery of some of the wealth now lying in the ocean's depth, the writer of this bulletin says: "Certain it is that the project of recovering sunken ships or the most valuable of the treasuries that have gone down with them is more feasible now than it was only four or five years ago. Such great improvements in diving apparatus have recently been made that it is now possible for a diver to operate for a limited time even at the great depth of 300 feet below the surface. It is also the remarkable experiments in deep-sea diving conducted under the auspices of the Bureau of Construction and Repair of the Navy Department of the United States in 1914. Prior to that time the greatest depth reached by divers was 210 feet, two English officers having accomplished that feat during a series of tests carried on by the British admiralty in 1907. For the benefit of those who do not appreciate the difficulty of diving to such depths may be stated that at a depth of ten feet below the surface of the ocean is 433 pounds per square inch of surface of the body surmereg. This pressure increases proprudently and at a depth of 100 feet it has increased to 43.3 pounds and at a depth of 300 feet to 129.0 pounds. Makes Salvage Possible. "Notwithstanding this tremendous pressure, the expert divers of the United States navy," this bulletin declares, "have succeeded in not only reaching a depth of 300 to 350 feet, but in remaining at that depth for from five to twenty minutes at a time, making examinations and observations in regard to a sunken vessel that made its subsequent salvage possible. This work was done in connection with the raising of the United States submarine F-4, which, it will be remembered, plunged to the bottom of the sea just of the harbor of Honolulu on March 25, 1915. Not only did the divers establish a new world's record for deep-sea diving upon that occasion, but the subsequent raising and recovery of the F-4 is the only instance in history where a sunken vessel was recovered from a depth of 300 feet." The bulletin writer thereupon gives a brief sketch of the history of diving as a useful art from the time of Aristotle to the present, and after describing a modern diving outfit and explaining in some detail the matter of the diver's being subjected to two pressures, viz., the pressure of the air inside the helmet and suit and the external pressure of the water, continues as follows: "In having the air pressure within the diving dress compensate the external water pressure, thus subjecting the diver to pressure directly proportioned to the depth to which he descends, is the dangerous element in deep sea diving. At a depth, for instance, of 100 feet, a diver must be subjected to a pressure of four atmospheres, or 60 pounds per Oddity Develops Years After Planting Lake Michigan, Trout In Oregon Lake. Baker, Ore.—What put the miniature camel-like humps on the fish of Rock Creek lake is the question that Ellert Ellertson. Rock creek rancher, is putting up to State Biologist Finley, Mr. Ellertson planted 5,000 Lake square inch, in order to compensate the external water pressure. Exposure to such pressure is apt to be followed by dangerous physiological effects, commonly known as 'calison disease', the symptoms of which include pain in the muscles and joints, commonly called 'bends', deafness, embarrassed breathing, vomiting, fainting, etc., sometimes resulting in death. Danger in Removing Pressure. Danger in Hibernation Pressure "These symptoms," the bulletin says, "do not appear when the pressure is being raised nor so long as it is continued, but only after it has been removed; and the view now accepts is that they are due to the rapid which are absorbed in the body fluids during exposure to pressure. Experiment has proved that when the pressure is suddenly relieved the gas is liberated in bubbles within the body and that these do the harm. Set free in the spinal cord, for instance, they may cause partial paralysis, or in the heart lead to stoppage of the circulation. It has been found, however, that if the pressure is relieved gradually the bubbles are not formed, because the gas comes out of solution slowly and is got rid of by the heart and lungs. To prevent these effects the withdrawal of the air pressure—in other words, the decompression—should be slow. Hence the diyer's ascent must be regulated accordingly, and the deeper he has been the slower and longer he must be the periods of decompression. It was particularly in regard to this matter of decompression that the experiments of the United States navy departments enable the divers to descend to 300 feet below the surface. Being able to safely observe and direct the work of rescue at such a depth and with modern lifting apparatus, who can say that the recovery of ancient treasures of sunken Spanish galleons, or hundreds of more recent wrecks of merchandise, and finally of many of the magnificent war vessels that have been sent to the bottom during the present war, is an idle dream? KING OF RAT CATCHERS BUSY Has Contract to Kill All Rodents in All Army Camps in England. London.—William Dalton of Southwark, who is known as the king of rat catchers, has been given the job of killing the rats in all the army camps in England. “This year,” says the “king,” “I am fighting almost single handed, and the menace is really serious. In less than six months I have caught over 12,000 rats, and cries for help are coming from all quarters. “The government has come to realize the necessity for killing the rats. At one camp I have already visited we caught 1,085 rats and over 70 of them weighed more than a pound and a half each.” THE FILM MAKER Miss Marie Peary, daughter of Admiral and Mrs. Robert E.

Recently, however, small humps just behind the first back fin were seen on many of them. It is not believed to be disease, and the size and the flavor of the trout do not seem to be impaired. There is no possibility of a cross with any other breed, because nothing but the Lakus Michigan trout have been planted in the lakes, which was originally devoid of Sal. "DEAD" SOLDIER IS REVIVED British Surgeon Massages a Man's Heart and Restores a Restores London.—A wonderful case of restoring the dead to life has just come to light in the case of Lance Corporal Mayes of the Queen's Westminsters, who had part of his right arm blown off by a shell in the fighting at Ypres. The injury was so bad that after the first-aid dressings the limb had to be amputated. He came to England and was in a hospital in the Midlands for some time. A short time ago he recovered sufficiently to leave the hospital and came to London apparently quite well. But from some reason infection again appeared in the amputated arm and a further operation was deemed necessary to stop the danger of poisoning. Corporal Mayes was put under an anesthetic, but the heart collapsed and ceased to beat. The case seemed to be hopeless and the waiting relatives in a few minutes would have been informed of his death. But Dr. Lionel B. C. Norbury, the distinguished surgeon who handled the case, was not beaten. He made an incision in the side of the patient and, inserting his hand and lifting the diaphragm, he saged the organ with his fingers. The heart responded to the action and began to beat again. The patient kid been restored to life when all other means would have failed. Lance Corporal Mayes is now on the high road to complete recovery. BIRD SINGS AT WRONG TIME Detroit Girl Who Loves Canaries Is Arrested for Stealing Songster. Detroit—Miss Nina Plock of No. 98 Adams avenue east, loves canary birds. If she were rich, she would have an aviary full of them. Her idea of bliss is to have just as many canary birds as she can find room for her house. The sweetest music in the world to her is the canary's song. But a canary's solo, piped at the wrong moment, landed in her police court. She had been arrested at the behest of Royce & Passmore, bird dealers. They told Justice Sellers that she entered their store recently and asked to look at some birds. When the clerk's back was turned she put one of the feathered songsters in her waist and then told the man that she guessed she would not buy any. Just as she was leaving the cany began *sng*. He sang loudly. The clerk barred the way to the door and sent another clerk to the corner for a policeman. Miss Plock was arrested. Twice before the woman has been in court for the larceny of annery birds, say the officers. This time she was fined $10, with the alternative of 30 days in the house of correction. And she had to give back the yellow soloist. ARGENTINA HAS IRON FIELD Discovery in Province of Buenos Aires is Expected to Be of Great Value. Buenos Aires. Iron has been discovered near Neocochea, in the southern part of the province of Buenos Aires, in such quantities that government officials say a proper exploitation of the field will free, the Argentine republic from dependence on other countries for its iron supply. The iron was found along the coast in the sand dunes that extend from the south of Patagones to Cape San Antonio. This is the same region in which petroleum indications were found recently, and concessions have been asked for the working of both the iron and oil fields. Jose M. Chuco, geologist, after patient examination and long study, has found a high proportion of iron in the sand in an almost pure state. Husband Keeps Dog. Wichita, Kan.-Mrs. Anna Morris, the young wife of a wealthy and middle-aged real estate man here, who was sued for divorce several weeks ago, wants her pet dog. It is a bull pup and since the divorce proceedings Mr. Morris won't let his wife into the house. He restricts the dog, and in a suit filed recently Mrs. Morris asks for the dog and one pillow, a pair of portieres, two stewpans and two geranium plants. Heard His Ribs Break Bristow, Okn—John Williams, collector for the Bristow National bank, met with qiuer accident the other evening. When he went to feed his hogs he found that they had rooted the trough over, and he leaned over the fence to straighten it, and in doing so broke two of his ribs on his left side. He stated that he heard his ribs break, and thought he had broken something in his pocket, but when he attempted to stand erect it was all he could do to get his breath, and then he knew that it was inside. 2,312 SHIPS ADDED TO THE AMERICAN MERCHANT FLEET SINCE WAR OPENED From the beginning of the European war to June 1, 1916, 2,312 ships were added to the American merchant marine. The new boats carrying the American flag were mostly constructed in American shipyards. Of the total number only 179 are foreign-built ships that have been admitted to American registry under the ship registry act of August 18, 1914. Most of the additions to the American-fleet from foreign-built ships came in the early months of the war, for the principal European nations began in February, 1915, to prohibit the sale of their respective merchant vessels to citizens of other countries. From July 1, 1914, to June 30, 1915, a total of 1,371 ships were added to the American fleet. Of this number 145 were foreign-built ships. From July 1, 1915, to May 31, 1916, there were 941 ships added to the American fleet, and of this number only 34 were foreign-built ships. The greatest additions to the American fleet were made in May and June, 1915. During those two months the fleet was increased by 361 ships. 'OLDGLORY' AMONG THE OLDEST FLAGS Stars and Stripes First Carried in Battle, However, in Mexican War. OF MANY SIZES AND SHAPES Banner That Inspired Key and One Carried by Paul Jones in Collection of the National Museum. A decree recently issued by Uncle Sam standardizing the form and size of the American flag has brought out some interesting bits of history connected with the Stars and Stripes. The fact that some sixty-odd sizes and shapes of American flags were found in use in the various government departments led to the executive order. The flags and Union Jacks of all departments, with certain exceptions in the army and navy, must now conform to specifications. There are 12 prescribed sizes, from 1.31-foot to 20-foot widest, and the 19-foot flag is to be the standard. The story now the American flag grew in a bulletin of the Smithsonian institution. Examples of the flag in its various periods of development are included in the collections of the United States National Museum. It is interesting to note, says the bulletin, that during the Revolution the flag had 13 stars, in the war of 1812, 15, in the Mexican war, 35, in the Spanish-American war 45, and today there are 48. The American flag is among the oldest of national flags, being older than the present British Union Jack, the French tri-color and the flag of Spain, and many years older than the flags of Germany and Italy, some of which, like those of other countries, are personal flags, or those of rejoining families. Banner That Inspired Key. Representative of the early type there is a 12-star flag said to have been used by John Paul Jones during the War of the Revolution, which is now in the National museum. Another flag of the very highest historic value is the original "Star-Spangled Banner" GOLD AND SILVER MINED ALL OVER UNITED STATES Report of Output of Precious Metals for 1915 Shows Varying Production in Many States. The United States produced 4,887,604 fine ounces of gold, valued at $101,035,700 in 1915, an increase of $6,503,000 over the previous year. The production of silver in 1915 amounted to 74,901,075 fine ounces, valued at $37,937,300. This was an increase of 2,506,975 fine ounces in the production of silver. A report of the bureau of the mint and the geological survey, just issued, of the mine as showing the wide distribution of this production over the United States. This report shows the value of the output of gold and silver in the various states and territories of the United States in 1915 as follows: Gold. Silver. Alabama $ 5,100 Alaska 16,170,100 $ 526,100 Arizona 4,555,500 2,826,500 California 22,547,000 843,100 Colorado 22,530,800 3,501,900 Georgia 34,800 1,00 Idaho 1,170,600 6,006,800 Illinois 1,900 Michigan 200,300 Montana 4,978,800 7,195,600 Missouri 27,700 New Mexico 1,490,000 7,210,500 North Carolina 170,700 700 Oregon 1,867,100 62,600 Philippine Isls. 1,320,900 7,600 Porto Rico 300 South Carolina 3,000 South Dakota 7,405,800 98,600 Tennessee 6,800 49,500 Texas 1,800 301,500 Utah 3,907,900 6,522,200 Vermont 100 Virginia 500 Washington 461,600 106,700 Wyoming 18,900 1,400 Total $101,035,700 77,397,300 More Fertilizer Used. Farmers of the United States used a great deal more fertilizer in 1914 than they did five years previously, according to Uncle Sam. A report of the bureau of the census on the industry shows that the output of fertilizers in 1914 aggregated 8,414,959 net tons, valued at $152,815,786. This was an increase of 49.8 per cent in quantity and 52.7 in value over the output of 1900. which flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore during the bombardment on September 13, 14, 1814, and was the inspiration for Key's anthem. This Fort McHenry flag is of the 15 stars and stripes type, adopted by an act approved by President Washington, January 13, 1794, which took effect May 1, 1795, after the admission of Vermont and Kentucky. It measures about 30 foot square, is much battered and torn, with one star missing, but this great historic souvenir has been preserved by quilting it on heavy linen cloth, and remains one of the country's most precious relics. From 1795 this form continued as the third flag until President Monroe's administration, when congress enacted that it should thereafter be of 13 stripes, with the addition of a star for each new state, commencing July 4, 1818. It seems that the army never carried the national flag in battle, though we have record of its use as a garrison flag from about 1787 or 1789 until 1846. Bodies of troops carried during this period, and before it, what was known as national colors or standards of blue embazoned with the arms of the United States, an eagle surmounted by number of stars, the designation of the body of the troops, an infantry or artillery inscribed on a scroll. Definite Rules In 1912. In 1834 the artillery was given the right of carrying the Stars and Stripes as recorded by the war department regulations, the infantry and cavalry still using the national arms with an added scroll in the eagle's beak bearing the words: "E pluribus unum." These flags remained the colors of the infantry until 1841, and of the cavalry as late as 1857, when they were ordered to employ the Stars and Stripes. Several flags of the period of the Mexican war, 1849-47, are in the museum collections. Among them is a flag of 13 stripes and stars carried throughout the war by the battalion of volunteers which enlisted from Maryland and the District of Columbia, and the flag of Company I, Fourth regiment of Indiana, with an eagle in the field. Ten flags of the collection pertain to the Civil war. Other flags include some from the Spanish-American war, the American colors carried by Rear Admiral Peary in his ice exploration in 1900 and the flag carried by the Smithsonian African expedition under the command of Col. Theodore Roosevelt in 1909-10. FOREIGN CLOTHES NOT WORN Very Few Ready-Made Garments for Men Imported Into United States —Exports Also Are Small. Foreign competition is one of the least of the worries of the ready-made clothing industry of the United States, according to Uncle Sam. With an annual production amounting to more than half a billion dollars, manufacturers in the United States have practically no competition from abroad. At the same time the United States exports very little ready-made clothing, in proportion to the size of the output in this country. These conditions are due to the fact that ready-to-wear clothing is not commonly worn in Europe except in the cheaper grades. American-made clothing for men was introduced in London about 1908 or 1909 and small quantities have been sold in other European cities. Most of the exports of clothing, however, have gone to Canada and Mexico. The total exports of woolen wear apparel of all kinds amounted to about 144 million in 1944. The little ready-made clothing that is imported into the United States consists chiefly of English overcoats and such novelty garments as golfing and motoring clothes. The only persons in the United States who prefer English clothes are a few residents of eastern seaport cities who are in touch with England socially or commercially, Neatly Turned. An attorney, angered because of an adverse ruling by the judge, left the courtroom remarking to another lawyer that "the judge was an ass and shouldn't be on the bench." Before the case ended the judge heard of the remark and called the attorney before him. "I hear," he said, "that you called me an ass and I asked not to be on the bench." "Sure," replied the quick-witted attorney. "Anybody with your profound knowledge of law is an ass to be on the bench. You ought to be practicing before the bar, where your talents could be cashd into big money." Silk Production Grows. The manufacture of silk and silk goods in the United States showed a big gain in 1914, as compared with 1909. A report of the bureau of the census shows that the value of the product in 1914 was $253,747,170, a gain of 28.9 per cent over 1900, when the year's product was valued at $196,911,687.

A thought constantly repeated at last becomes a fixed habit of mind, from habits that proceeds the life. —James Allen COOKING LOBSTERS. These delicate shellfish are so well liked that although in many states they are hard to get, a few ways of preparing them will not be amiss. Those who are fortunate enough to have them in plenty will appreciate a new dish. A medium-sized lobster is the best to choose, those which are lively and heavy in weight. Lobsters should be killed immediately be- fore boiling. If a pointed knife be run into the back between the body and tall shells, death will occur at once. No lobster is of good flavor that has been killed hours before it is cooked. A fresh boiled lobster has a stiff tail, which will, if gently raised, return with a spring to its curled condition. Care should be taken never to pull the tall straight, as it will never respond again. Lobster Toast—Canned lobster may be used for this dish. Pick over to remove any pieces of shell. Add one dessertspoonful of warmed butter, red pepper, capers and pickled cucumber. Pound till well blended, add salt. Heat hot and serve on buttered toast. Creamed Lobster—Remove the meat from the lobster and chop finely. Beat the yolks of two eggs and mix with a quarter of a cupful of cream, a few drops of onion juice, a half a teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of red pepper and a grating of nutmeg. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add the minced lobster, cook and stir for a few minutes; then add the cream and other ingredients. Stir until the combination thickens. Serve on toast. Broiled Lobster—Kill the lobsters as before described, and with a sharp knife and a mallet or with a cleaver split down the back on the line which runs down the middle of the line which remove the stomach and intestines, place the two pieces with the shell part down over a moderate fire. When half cooked, molten well with butter, sprinkle with pepper, salt and lemon juice. Crack the claws before serving. Wordiness is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance—the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it better, will persevere, than the sad er-Carryle. SUGGESTIVE DISHES. For a simple little cake to serve with a cup of tea, the shortbread enjoyed so much by the Scotch will be worth adding to your cookbooks. Scotch Shortbread.— Take a cupful of butter, creamed; one-half cupful of cornstarch or arrowroot, one-half cupful of rice flour and two cupfuls of wheat flour with one-half cupful of sugar. Cream the butter, add the sugar, and mix in the flour, kneading it well with the hands until well mixed. Pat it on a board until a fourth of an inch in thickness, and cut with small cutters, pricking well with a fork before baking. Bake in a slow oven. Walnut Catchup—When the black walnuts are green and still soft enough to pierce with a needle, pick a hundred. Allow six ounces of small onions, a clove of garlic, two quarters of vinegar, two ounces of anchovies, two ounces of pepper, one-fourth of an ounce of mace, one-half an ounce of cloves. Pound the walnuts in a mortar until well broken, the put them into a jar with the vinegar, onion and garlic, cut fine, with two halves of mace, stirring twice a day. Strain in the liquid, add the rest of the ingredients, and boil 30 minutes. Skim well and strain when cold, and bottle. Labscoach.—Butter a baking dish and fill with alternate layers of sliced raw potatoes and hamburg steak; season with pepper and salt and butter. When the dish is nearly full, pour over one half cup of finely chopped onions and one cupful of tomatoes, either cooked or fresh. Then pour over a cupful of sweet cream and set into the oven to bake. This should bake slowly an hour and a half. The tomatoes may be omitted if the combination is not enjoyed. Carrot Pudding—To a cupful of boiled and mashed carrots add two well-beaten eggs, one-fourth of a cupful of sugar, half a teaspoonful of clammon, the same of grated nutmeg, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and half a cupful each of milk and cream. Mix well and pour into a pudding dish and bake half an hour. Serve cold with sweetened whipped cream. Mock Guava Jelly—Wash and soak overnight a pound of home-dried apples. The next morning cook them slowly in the water; then strain through a jelly bag. There should be five cupfuls of juice; add to the boil. General Gallieni's Epigrams. The lie General Gallieni was a master of epigrammatic expressions. "Don't create until you can remedy," is one who obtained great favor in France, and might be recommended to critics here. "If you've got brushes, use them; if not, plant cabbages," was another of the general's sayings. "Set things going, and keep them going," and "Say what you want done, but don't say more than a man can remember," were two other counsels.—Westminster Gazette.

The ideal life the life full of completion haunts us all. We feel the thing we ought to be beneath the thing we are. FOOD SUGGESTIONS. A pressed meat which will be found appetizing for picnics or luncheons on hot days is prepared as follows: Boil together a pound of round steak and two large pork hocks. When done, mince the meat with a fork but do not put it through the meat chopper as it makes it pusty. Put into a mold and pour over it the liquor in which the meat was cooked. Salmon With Tomatoes—Prepare tomato cups by scalding the tomato, remove the skin, then hollow out the form cups, using a sharp teaspoon. Turn upside down to drain and place on ice to keep them firm. Fill with salmon and chopped celery with a good boiled dressing that is highly seasoned. Prune and Rice Meringue—Boll and drain one cupful of rice, then add two tablespoonfuls of butter, three of sugar, one well-beaten egg and one teaspoonful of ginger extract. Spread some of this mixture on a platter, cover it with a layer of stewed prunes; continue alternating the layers until all the rice is used. Sprinkle lightly with sugar, and cover with a meringue made of the whites of two eggs, one half cupful of sugar, and brown in the oven. Serve cold, decorated with whole stewed prunes. Apricot Tapioca Pudding—Cover one and a half cupful of tapioca with cold water and let it soak for three hours; then drain and add three cupfuls of boiling water, one-half a teaspoonful of salt and one cupful of sugar; cook in a double bowl until transparent. Skin and cheese to the bottom are stirred baking dough, pour over the tapioca mixture and bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Serve hot or cold with sugar and cream. Pickled Cherries—Select sound large cherries and to every quart of cherries allow a cupful of the best elder vinegar, two cupfuls of sugar, one stick of cinnamon, broken in bits, a blade of mace and six whole cloves. Pit the cherries, pack them in jars and pour the boiling vinegar and spices over them. Cork and set away; they may be used almost immediately. Monday's child is fair of face.

Mix the yolks of five hard-cooked eggs, with two tablespoonfuls of anchovy sauce; then press through a sieve and add very gradually six tablespoonfuls of olive oil, two of vinegar, one tablespoonful of made mustard, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of pepper and the whites of the eggs, cut in rings. Mix well and serve cole. Corn Salad—Allow half as much corn of chopped celery and walnut vinegar as of grated cooked corn; season with salt, pepper and one finally chopped onion. Mix with a good bolted dressing to which whipped cream has been added. Supper Dish.-Place eggs in a granite pie plate and sprinkle generously with cheese and bread crumbs, with salt and pepper to taste. Place in the oven and bake until the eggs are set. A little cream put into the pan before the eggs are broken into it is an improvement. Cafe Parfait.-Take a cupful of strong coffee infusion, add two egg yolks beaten, one-half cupful of sugar and cook in a double boiler until thick. Beat a pint of cream until thick; add to the coffee mixture when cool; pour into a mold and let stand in ice and salt three hours. Unmold and serve. Buttermilk Cake.-Take two cupfuls of buttermilk, one-half cupful of baking powder, one teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in the buttermilk; two-thirds of a cupful of wheat flour, two cupfuls of graham flour, unsifted, and one-half cupful of meat meats, coarsely broken. Bake one hour. This makes two loaves. The nuts may be omitted and a sour cream and nut frosting may be used to ice the top.

BEAUTIFYING THE HOME GROUNDS By L. M. BENNINGTON. If you want your bed of cannies or border of caladiums to make a grand showing from now to frost, give them a frost-like covering of bonemeal; then stir the soil, water thoroughly and mulch with lawn clippings. Do this toward the end of the month and be sure to remove the fading flowers. Copy nature by sowing seeds of perennials as they ripen. Provide some soil for the plants. A screen made of lath or one of unbleached muslin will answer. The robust-growing plants will need some sort of support. Let the supports be painted green or oiled to bring out the grain of the wood and you will find them more pleasing than rough sticks and far more satisfactory. Drive the stakes fast into the earth a little lower than the plants, so that they are inconspicuous. The plants needing supports are such hardy perennials as delphiniums, give them mats and dragonflies. Do not overlook giving stakes to the dahlias, cosmos, hydrangeas and gladiol. To maintain continuous blooming from now until frost, a few perennials must be preserved. Make a habit of cutting flowers freely and remove all the fading blossoms and nature will reward you with a lavish hand. After this month, allow the chrysanthemums to grow according to their own will—that is, stop pinching them back. TROUBLE WITH ASTERS By GODFRY FRY. The maggot is a deadly enemy of the aster. Look out for it and guard against it. Work wood ashes into the earth about the plants and remove a little of the soil about the base of each plant and scatter tobacco dust liberally around them. Wood ashes are one of the best remedies and a change of location of the aster bed each year is another wise move. The black beetle is another pest that does deadly work with the aster plants. This pest comes suddenly and quickly, a very little while. When you see the first beetle use the following emulsion liberally all over the plant, and repeat the application frequently. One half pound of any good soap, ivory or other white soap, reduced to a liquid by melting. One teacup of kerosene. Let the soap with a little water come to a boil. Add the kerosene. Stir the mixture vigorously while cooling. Use one part of this to ten parts of water. Be sure the water and the emulsion are united then use a spray. The spotted calla is a summer-blooming plant, that should be reset in the winter. THE BYSTANDER BEAUTIFUL and Shrubbery and Cultivation With Flowers and Trees. GARDEN NOTES Tulips increase by bulblets which issue from the side of the larger bulbs. Under certain conditions, too, the larger bulbs split up into smaller ones. In a well-drained, sunny bed the bulbs will live and increase from year to year, but should be lifted, divided and reset every third year, as the clumps become too much crowded to thrive and bloom. In potted illies, set the bulbs two inches or more beneath the soil. The larger the pot, the larger will be the plant. Auratum, Speciosum, Longiform and Brown are all suitable for pot culture. After potting, water and set in a dark closet or cellar, keeping the soil moist until roots form and the tops start, when the roots may be brought to a cool window, say in January or February, if early started. IRIS Take some strong clumps of iris, about two or three years old and not too large. Leave the earth on them and take them up 'just before the ground freezes and put them in large pots in a cool cellar. If they do freeze it will not hurt them, but see that the frost comes out gradually. Bring them up to one light and put them in a southern exposure and they will flower during February and March. If white ones are beautiful flowers they will be provided. With care iris will bloom almost half the year. The flowers grown in the house are more delicate and beautiful than if grown out of doors. Other winter flowers are expensive, but these can be secured at little cost, and when once started one can get them from one's own garden. Experiment with irises this fall; you will get pleasure and profit from it. TAKE CARE OF THE GARDEN TOOLS Any steel tool will rust if exposed to damp air, yet I have found that tools subjected to the following treatment every three months will not rust unless actually thrown on the ground, or exposed to a hard rain. Take two parts each of graphite and tallow, and one part gum camphor; melt together, and if not soft enough to form a stiff paste add more tallow or lard. Remove all rust from the steel surface, wipe dry, and apply the paste. Let it remain on for 24 hours and then rub dry. Unless the tool is needed, even longer than one day will be still better for the tool to be covered with the preparation. The above preparation has the effect of a coating of oil, though every vestige has apparently been removed for months.—H. F.

SIX HITS IN SEVEN SHOTS Scored on Moving Target Six Miles Out at Sea—All Seven Shots Hired In Four Minutes and Twenty-one Seconds. New York.—They did a reassuring thing with their big guns at Sandy Hook the other day, reassuring for any people of this city who may be disturbed from time to time by the periodic outbursts of the army critics who think that the Coast artillery doesn't know how to shoot. On the contrary they shoot so well that on the day in question they broke the world's record for big gun fire on a range of over ten thousand shots who fired and six hits scored with a 12-inch gun playing on a moving target something over six miles away, 11,120 yards to be exact. The target was a floating pyramid, 12 feet square at the base and 15 feet high, a mere dot on the surface of the sea to the gunners at Fort Hancock. And yet so accurately did they locate the dot and gauge the motion through the water that had the films pyramid target—been a battleship, six of those 7,000-pound projectiles would have torn through her engine room. There were not only six hits, but they were bunched hits. And all seven shots were fired in 4 minutes and 32 seconds. Furthermore, the target was two or three miles farther away than a ship would be before she could get into the channel that would enable her to come up within hitting distance of the city. The Men Who Did It. The artillerymen who made this record were the members of the Forty-eighth company, Leut. Marcellus H. Thompson commanding. Of course, shooting 12-inch guns so they will hit something is their regular job, but that particular day's work did attract some attention. (One hit in seven at 10,000 yards or over is considered good shooting.) Thompson says his men did it, and the men say Thompson did it. The silence of the a 12-inch gun immediately before and after is as impressive as its roar. But the supreme instant of its silence is when it gets up to speak. It has been so well fed—1,046 pounds of steel and 268 pounds of nitrocellulose—this chief speaker at a party that is a sort of international entertainment for a visiting fleet. Lieutenant Thompson, toastmaster, in a word of army lingo and a gesture, makes the introduction. Somebody releases a metal tooth that had locked and held another metal tooth, and the 52 tons of gun gets up above the parapet, rises 20 feet into the air without a sound as its lead counterweight sinks as silently 20 feet down into the emplacement. Then, the speech to the audience on 20 feet down into the emplacement. Lieutenant Thompson dodges compliments and congratulations by explaining how the record shooting of his company never would have been possible but for the long years of hard work and training of the Coast artillery corps as a whole under the direction of General Murray and General Weaver. Fuss About Missed Shots. The men of the Fifty-eighth company fuss more about the one shot that missed than the six that hit. They explain apologetically that at the instant the range for the fifth shot (the one that missed) came over the wire from the plotting room the gun was fired and the man at the time-range board did not hear accurately. He got the second or third figure beyond the decimal point wrong, and that made the next shot fall a trifle short. But the very next shot not only came within the limits of a battleship's vitals but demolished the pyramid target itself. Before thinking that they must have been very careless on that lost shot, try to visualize and "nudibillize" what goes on in the emplacement and the range-finding station when they are firing big guns. Remember that they have to make sure that the a thousand and one things matter to the gun between shots, and that with a moving target each firing involves a brand-new problem involving a mass of hifalutin higher mathematics. Also that you have to know the answer to each of these problems in 30 seconds. For each gun there are 15 men in the range section or position-finding service, and they must all agree on the result, and what they do must be supplemented by the 42 men who serve the gun itself. There can be no hitch. A blunder of one sort will lose a shot. A blunder of another sort will destroy a gun and scatter the fragments of half a hundred human bodies up and down the beach. Again, only 30 seconds in which to do all those tremendous actions actually teamwork, if ever there was such a thing! You can't say that the brains of the thing are here or there. They are everywhere, one great composite brain. How They Do It. The beginning of each operation is in the base-line observation stations, two observatories 2,600 yards apart on the beach. In each of them a man works in a large glass chamber through a powerful glass; the intersection of the crossed hairs in the glass Knoxville Man Shows Florida People Something New in Piscatorial Line.

Bells ring simultaneously in both these stations on the twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth and thirteenth end of each observation. On the third bell both observers read the angles on the scale and telephone those findings to the men at the plotting board, a big semicircular table, equipped with swinging brass arms to be moved on the board to give angles and distances. That plotting room in firing time sounds very much like the old-fashioned schoolroom when the awful hour came for oral arithmetic. dredge part of a degree the travel of the target affects the problem. All in Half a Minute. Then the shot itself, in a journey of six miles, is going to deviate some from a straight line. Answer to that please. So all these things are called out to the man at the range board, who must co-ordinate them and correct the first answer. This, too, is all done in 80 seconds. And by the time the observers had used the observers and the plotters have done the thing all over again and flash the next range to the men at the gun. There then is muzzle velocity, which is never twice alike from two lots of Only in the plotting room they throw in a lot of decimals, and one man takes up the problem at the instant it falls from the lips of the one ahead of him, and they not only have to think but use a lot of mathematical instruments at the same time. And when you think you have the answer, that is only the beginning. That is merely the uncorrected range. Are goals to tumble into the situation as fast as a man can talk, several men rather. The wind is blowing and something must be allowed for that, three-tenths of a degree, say, for an eight-mile breeze. A man at the wind-measuring table must figure that out and contribute his bit. Don't forget the tide. With reference to the beach, where the gun is, the vessel on the sea, there is a decimal or higher or lower for every shot. Somebody figures that out. The ship is moving over her course. Somebody else must work on that trifle to see by what hun- ORGANIZE FIRST MOTHERS' POLICE Women of New York's East Side Form Force to Regulate District. PROTECTION FOR THE GIRLS Principal Crusade Will Be Waged Against Cadet System and Modern Dress and Movie Theater Evil Will Be Fought. New York.—What is to be the first mother police force in the history of the world has been organized on the lower East side of New York city. The primary purpose of the organization, which is composed exclusively of mothers of the district, is the protection of young girls. To this end it will make war on extremes in the early day dress, the dance and movie against that type of dance and movie hall regularity, known as the cudet, and keep open house at all times for the young girl in need of advice. As side lines of endeavor, the woman police will keep a look out for false wages and tricky trades in trade shops, instruct immigrants in the requisites of good citizenship, keep watch on the public parks to prevent waste paper, litter and other forms of desecration, and generally aim at the unbuilding of community life. The "mother police" is the idea of Harry H. Schlacht, a young attorney, who started the boy police movement, which has spread through the country with such rapidity the past few years. It was from the operation of his boy police force that Mr. Schlacht received his inspiration for the organization of this new department. The "juvenile cops," as the boys styled themselves, were denied entrance to dance halls and were looked upon with disfavor at many moving picture theaters—or in general in fields of endeavor fruitful for the cadet. The young attorney talked the situation over with a number of mothers of the East side and 100 of them volunteered to lend their aid in the formation of an organization to abate the cadet evil. Mr. Schlacht assumed active charge of which one on the island has been able to determine. A special in the Tampa Morning Tribune says: "Doctor Kelso and E. B. Burns, with J. A. Saunders as guides, had caught about forty some-odd fins, kingfish, and were on the verge of returning, when the doctor realized the fact that he had hooked a wumpus of some kind, and after a tremendous fight on at last fifteen minutes the strange fish was pulled into the boat. It weighed dredth part of a degree the travel of the target affects the problem. All in Half a Minute. Then the shot itself, in a journey of six miles, is going to deviate from a straight line. Answer to that; please. So all these things are called out to the man at the range board, who must co-ordinate them with the first answer. This, too, is all done in 30 seconds, and by by by they are loaded the observers and the plotters have done the thing all over again and flash the next range to the man at the gun. Then there is muzzle velocity, which is never twice alike from two lots of powder. So the coast artillerymen blend their powder by hand, taking grains from different cans (a grain of atrocellose is about the size of a spool of thread) till they get the mixture they like, make a trial shot with that to see what muzzle velocity it gives, and then figure on the factor remaining the same so long as the same blend is used through one period of target practice. Of course, after a little while a change in the weather or temperature will upset that calculation, and another blend has to be made. And after all this can be blending powder, the gun in the mathematics of the thing, there comes in the gun弹器, not the man behind the gun, but the man crouched alongside it on his narrow, oblique limb with his eye cost pleasant events or his hand on the curved surface that in the last instant must be directed to a hair's breadth if the shot is going home. the membership campaign and already has succeeded in enrolling more than 5,000 applications from mothers who want to lend their support to the movement.

A good remedy for sleepiness is to wet a towel and apply to the back of the neck, pressing it hard against the base of the brain, and fastening over this cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and peaceful full slumber. Warm water will better warm the brain. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from overwork, excitement or nervousness. WEDID 30. 11 84 Crawford—Do the ich know how the other half live?
