LIFTING LIFT TOO AUSTRALIA HAS FISH THAT CRY Explorer Says They Moan In Treetops and Nurse Their Young. New York.—There are thousands of square miles of fertile, well-timbered land practically unexplored in the "Never-Never" of the great northwest of Australia, according to Capt. Charles Beltrand Alexander, explorer, pearl merchant and trader of Broome, Western Australia, who arrived here recently on the Cunarder Berengaria on his way home via San Francisco. Captain Alexander said the British government had decided recently to spend, £11,000,000, to which Australia was contributing 55,000,000, for building steamships and developing the cattle trade from Derby, 100 miles north of Broome, which was the port for the new pasture country called the Kimberleys. Captain Alexander said the possibilities of the northwest of Australia were unlimited. On a recent exploring expedition he found an ebony forest covering more than 100,000 acres and another of cypress pine twice as large. "There are all kinds of wild animals," he said, "including the wild buffaloes, bounding kangaroo and the wallaby and that remarkable fish only found in Australian waters, called the platypus, which leaves the sea at midnight, climbs to the top of the tallest tree and after uttering three plaintive moons dives down into the water below. Why the poor fish does this one knows. The platypus has a duckbill, nurses its young and is web-footed." Within 150 miles of Broome, the captain continued, there are cannibals. "These aborigines of Australia are very friendly. They use spears, boomerangs and wakobris, a kind of club with pieces of flint in the end. The aborigines have no knives, or steel or iron implements of any kind and take a year to cut a canoe out of a tree trunk with flint axes of the kind used in the Stone age. "The chief industry of Broome is the pearl fisheries which are controlled in New York. We export about 1,400 tons of mother-of-pearl a year, which is worth $2,000,000 and the industry employs 200 vessels with 1,600 native fishermen, mostly Malays and Japanese. The output could easily be increased to 3,000 tons a year by putting on more boats and more men. Send Mother-of-Pearl Here. The fisheries extend from Cape Londonderry on the north of Australia, south to Exmouth golf, more than 1,000 miles. The best spot is considered to be the 'hundred-mile beach', where Broome is located. It provides most of the mother-of-pearl that is exported to New York for making buttons. Occasionally we find rare pearls in the oysters. I sold one for $15,000 a little while ago in London and another for $5,000. "Air pumps are used for the divers who work in a depth of 39 to 42 feet. Until 1916 the pearl was all sent to London and the New York button manufacturers bought their supplies there but now it is all handled here." The captain said that it was unsafe for white men to venture far into the Never-Never land unless they were in a party and well armed. The climate is sub-tropical and healthful, he said—New York Times. France Revives System OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING Paris. The dearth of skilled workmen in France is causing a revival of the apprentice system in the form of training schools in factories. One of the most advanced of these is in a Paris automobile factory, where sons of employees are given a two-year course of lectures, demonstrations and experimental work, and finished off with a year in the shop, doing a man's work. The boys get alternative lessons in theory and practice, and are given a week or two at a time at some machine with the regular skilled operator. Somewhat similarly, the theater of Paris have established training courses for scene shifters in several of the best equipped houses. Plymouth. Mass.—Noticing a skunk with something shiny on its head. Henry Knight killed the animal. He found that its head was encased in a jelly tumbler. The skunk, in order to get the jelly out of the glass, apparently had put its head in so far that it could not get it out again. On Her Wedding Day New York.—Blanche Phillips of 590 West End avenue is what some people will call a lucky girl. In addition to her husband she will get on the day she marries $50,000 from the estate of her father, Isaac L. Phillips. Mr. Phillips, who died November 22, provided further in his will that five years after her marriage $100,000 is to be paid her.

WOULD KILL KLAN FORMER HEAD TELLS COOLIDGE WOULD KILL KLAN FORMER HEAD TELLS COOLIDGE Clarke Says Hooded Order Is "Cheap Political Machine," Dealing In Character Assassination and Violence. DEMOCRATS ARE TO SWAT IT Democratic National Committee Held Certain to Propose Anti-Klan Plank, As Predicted by Crusader Service. Washington, D. C., Jan. 4.—Edward Young Clarke, Imperial Giant of the Ku Klux Klan aggregation of hooded cowards, who as Chief Kleagle and promoter took charge of that bigoted band with a few scattered chapters in the South and spread its virus of hate over the country with unparalleled rapidity, began here recently a movement for either its "reformation" or destruction. Armed with documents which, it is said, will further condemn the klan before the bar of public opinion, he established headquarters in the capital, issued statements deploring the tenency of the order toward lawlessness and political dictatorship and, in order to assure a public hearing, addressed a letter to President Coolidge asking the President's co-operation in forcing the lawless element out of the klan or, this being impossible, a complete stamping out of the menace. Clarke's Record Usurvacy In order to judge of the motives back of Clarke's move, it is necessary to scan Clarke's past record. Some of the chapters in the life of this leader of the klan in its campaign of "morality and anglo-saxon domination" are: Feb. 9, 1910: expelled from his church after his pastor had formally charged him with lying, extortion, fraudulent and unjust dealings, improper handling of funds, false and malicious slander, inordinate ambition, insubordination and "hypocrisy and treachery". Clark never appealed from this action and no litigation followed. On Oct. 31, 1919. found guilty with his business partner, Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, of disorderly conduct. The two had been picked up a few nights before in a notorious inland resort in Atlanta, Ga., run by Mrs. Tyler. Both were in under-garments. Feb. 28, 1928: indicted at Houston, Texas, on a charge of taking Louise Martin from Houston to New Orleans in violation of the Mann White Slave Law. It is practically certain that when the Democratic National Committee meets to select the date and place for the party's national convention the incorporation of an anti-Ku Klux Klan plank in the platform upon which the presidential candidate is to run will be vigorously urged. In thus following the prediction of the Crusader Service, the Democratic Party will be the first of the two big parties to follow the precedent set by the Federated-Farmer Labor Party, the Workers Party and other embryonic Labor parties in repudiating the Klan. It is generally agreed by committeemen representing Northern States, where the Democrats hope to make substantial gains next election, that if the platform is silent on the Klan OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1924 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION (Copyright, W. N. U.) COOLIDGE FREES NEGRO LIFERS AS CHRISTMAS GIFT Washington, Jan. 4. — Christmas pardons and commutations for eleven men serving terms in Federal penitentiaries were announced today by President Coolidge. These pardons do not include Marcus K. Garvey, who was recently convicted in New York on the charge of using the mails to defraud, and whose fanatic followers have been sending frequent petitions to the President for a pardon for their leader, but do include Alvin E. White, held in Leavenworth Prison, and Willis Swofford, a prisoner at Atlanta. White was serving a five-year sentence for having forged a paycheck while employed in the Navy Department. Madam Anna Schell, 1314 North Twenty-fifth street, Webster 5669. Meetings every Tuesday night.—Adv. blocks of Catholic and Jewish voters will desert the party. Moreover, the Negro vote in the North has become a factor in the councils of the Democratic chiefs. Chief Murphy of New York is among those who have called attention to the apparent willingness of the Negro voter in the North to vote the Democratic ticket where that party gives them the square deal always promised but never performed by the Republican Party. And it is not only among the Northern Democratic committeemen that one finds fierce opposition to the Klan. Democratic committeemen in Texas and other Southern States are also joining the fight against the hooded order. In view of this tendency on the part of the Democrats to condemn the Klan, it is with added interest that the Negro voter contemplates the Republican alliance with the Klan in such States as Indiana, and Republican silence in most of the other States. Slippery Going M STROMQ CLUB IS PROMISED OMAHA BASEBALL FANS STROMQ CLUB IS PROMISED OMAHA BASEBALL FANS President Burch, Who Will Be 1924 Manager Signs Crack First Baseman of Syracuse Club. Hits .340 KERR IS LIKELY TO RETURN Barney Burch, president and manager of the Omaha Western League entry announces that if his money will turn the trick, Omaha will have a regular ball team during the coming summer. His first step to make this a fact occured during the past week when he purchased 1st baseman John A. McCarty from the Syracuse International League Club. The purchase price was reported to have been in the neighborhood of $5000.00. This deal has been on the fire for some time. At the recent meeting of the leaguers in Chicago, Burch and the Syracuse magnate got their heads together, but Burch was unable to close as the eastern wanted more time to think the matter over. But the ultimate signing of McCarty is taken as a positive indication that "Big Train" Konechty will not don an Omaha uniform in 1924. McCarty played with Columbus in the American association before joining Syracuse. While with the Association club the new Omaha first baseman played in the outfield. He hit .340 with the International league team last season and is considered a good fielder at the initial sack. With McCarty at first and Frisco Thompson, former Nebraska State leaguer, at second; Kerr at shortstop and Jimmy Wilcox at third, Burch believes he has an infield that will stick with him throughout the season, something the 1923 infield failed. GIRREL JULES WAS AND SINGLE D I TACHLED CUNNERS AND- Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 4—Alabama's disgraceful convict lease system will be abolished at "an early date," according to the Birmingham News. Negotiations under way between the State Convict Board, which turns over the convicts to capitalist exploitation, and the coal operators, who do the exploiting, are said to be predicatory of "sufficient success to insure a change from the present leasing system." New York, Jan. 4.—The Young Women's Christian Association of New York is planning to replace with a modern dormitory the present building at Seventh Avenue and 137th St. used by the segregated Negro Y. W. C. A. of this city. The Association is trying to sell the present building for $72,000, and plans to apply the proceeds to a modern structure. In the outfield the Omaha manager has Dick O'Connor, Joe Bonowitz, Don Brown, Althaus, and a recruit by the name of Pedersen. The chances are that Nick Cullop, recently sold to the Yankees, will be sent back to the herd. Should this happen, Cullop will probably be used in the outfield, as he is a good batter, being a better hitter while playing the outfield than he is when taking his turn on the hurler's mound. Burch is dickering for a pitcher from a big league club. Just who the chucker is we are not at liberty to say, but if Barney lands his man he will be a mighty valuable addition to the hurling corps. Already Burch has Byron Speece, Harry Lee and Bill Bailey as the nucleus around which to build his pitching department. A small army of recruit hurlers will report to Burch at the Shreveport (La.) spring training camp. Whole Number 443 hops PROMINENT NEW YORK CITIZEN IS CALLED BY DEATH William Henry Smith Passes Away at Ripe Old Age After an Active and Useful Business AMASSED LARGE FORTUNE Arrived in Metropolis Youth of Sixteen with Only Few Dollars and Found Employment in Wall Street. Son Lives Here (Special to the Monitor) Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 4.—William Henry Smith, one of New York's most useful and prominent citizens passed away at his home, 638 Lexington Ave where he had resided for the past thirty-five years Christmas Day in his eighty-eighth year. Despite his years he had been quite active up to within a few weeks of his death. Born in Baltimore, Md., February 24, 1836, of humble parents, young Smith came to New York when sixteen years old with seven dollars in his pocket and with no education. He found employment with some of the leading families of this city, prominent in banking circles. He spent his leisure hours in study and was dependable and alert. He was employed at a responsible position with the Bank of New York for forty-five years. During this time he engaged in the catering business which was largely conducted by his wife and served meals and lunches to the banking firms in Wall Street. He invested in real estate, the rise in the value of which gave him a neat fortune. An earnest and devout Episcopalian he was for years chairman of the property committee of St. Philip's Episcopal Church and was responsible for its removal from Mulberry street to West Twenty-fifth and subsequently to its present site in Harlem. The funeral was held from St. Philip's Church Friday, December 28 and was attended by a large concourse of friends. The Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, officiated, assisted by the Rev. George Frazier Miller and the Rev. Joseph Alton. Mr. Smith is survived by his widow and eight children, one son being J. Frank Smith of Omaha, Nebraska, who had just returned to the west from visiting his father. SPANISH WAR HERO SUCCUMBS Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 2.—John C. Jordan, former chief gunner of Admiral Dewey's flagship, The Olympia, and famous for gallant service at Manilla Bay, during the Spanish-American War, passed away peacefully in this city after a brief illness. His death marked the closing of a unique career, which began with his enlistment in the navy in June, 1887. During the battle of Manilla Bay, Mr. Jordan took charge of the guns on the Olympia, and for his excellent service during that period he was later assigned to important duties at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. He leaves relatives in Washington, D.C., where his body was brought for burial. Mr. and Mrs. Doris Thornton motored over to Nebraska City, Sunday to visit relatives and friends. Fisher COME HERE THIS MINNIT! GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 27 GIVEN $10,000 FOR $50 LOAN GIVEN $10,000 FOR $50 LOAN Grubstake Enabled Prospector to Recover Land Sold by Guardian—Held in Asylum. Olympia, Wash.—Combining a curious case in legal practice with the glamour and romance of the Alaskan gold fields is the decision of the state Supreme court affirming the claim of Henry Embola to a return of $10,000 for having added $50 to a previous loan of $270 made to John Tuppela. A shift of fortunes, from being the inmate of a madhouse to the ownership of a half-million-dollar mining property, is pictured for Tuppela. Nor was it the rich mine owner who contested the $10,000 payment for the $50 loan or speculation. He wanted to pay the money, but his trustee refused. So suit was started against Tuppela with C. H. Farrell as guardian ad litem. Confined in Insane Asylum. The circumstances were unique. John Tuppela had joined the Alaska gold rush and after years of prospecting was adjudged insane and confined in an institution in Portland. He had, however, acquired valuable mining claims. Released four years later he found his mining properties had been sold by his guardian. In 1918, destitute and out of work he met in Astoria Henry Embola, an old friend of 30 years' standing. Embola advanced money for his support and took him to Seattle, where he was taken in by a relative of Embola. Tuppela unsuccessfully sought funds to fight for his claims, which were then estimated to be worth $500,000, and finally made the proposition to Embola: "You have already let me have $270. If you will give me $50 more, so I can go to Alaska and get my property back, I will pay you $10,000 when I win my property." Court Rules Loan Was Grubstake. Embola agreed and immediately advanced the money. Tuppela went to Alaska, finally recovered his property, and remembering his agreement, requested Mr. Cobb, his trustee, to pay the full amount, and upon his refusal to do so this action was instituted. Supreme court denies contentions of a mere loan, of usurious interest and inadequacy of consideration. It holds, rather, the money was advanced as an investment; that the transaction was in the nature of a grubstake contract, which has been upheld by this court, and the risk of losing the money in this case was as great as under a grubstake. Judgment for the $10,000 is accordingly affirmed. Moralists are afforded a pretty theme for dissertations on the dividends of friendship. Public Health Service to Study Common Cold Washington. A detailed study, of common cold is to be made by the public health service in co-operation with a number of the country's leading universities. Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon general, says colds, influenza and similar conditions are responsible for a great deal of suffering, loss of time, disability and a not inconsiderable number of deaths. He says there are few, if any, individuals who do not suffer from some acute respiratory condition at tasten once a year, losing from a day to a week or more as a result, and some attacks develop into more serious conditions, at times even a latent pulmonary tuberculosis being lighted up. Comparatively little is definitely known as to the real causes, distribution, manner of spread and epidemiology of these so-called minor respiratory ailments, Doctor Cumming says, and this detailed study being undertaken is expected to be of value in attempting to prevent these afflictions. The work will be actively undertaken at Harvard university, Johns Hopkins Medical school, Georgetown and Howard universities, Washington; Tulane university, New Orleans; Ohio State university, University of Chicago and University of California. It is anticipated the studies will extend over two or three years. Honest Man Pays Board Bill After 33 Years Fellansbee, Ariz—John Davis has paid a board bill which he owed Mrs. Elizabeth Grimm of this city for 36 years. The bill was $4. Davis was unable to pay the bill when he left the Grimm house, but he returned. Mrs. Grimm will frame the $4 as a memorial to "the most honest man." Hilo, Island of Hawaii—Steam flowing everlastingly from a fissure in the side of the volcano of Kilauea is now being used to heat the office building of the Hawaiian National park commission. The vapor leaves the ground at 120 degrees and is guided through conduits a distance of 40 feet to the building. In the winter time it easily keeps the offices at a uniform temperature of 70 degrees.

We are therefore facing its future with all that it has in store for us individually, collectively, racially and nationally; yes, and internationally, for it is gradually dawning upon our consciousness that the whole world is kin. The truth of the solidarity, the oneness of humanity is becoming more and more evident. This is in reality the solid fact upon which Christianity is founded and rests. It is because humanity is one that the world's Redeemer assumed human nature,homo factus sum, became man. This is the Christmas message still ringing in our ears and giving us the keynote of the new-born year. And so in thinking of the opportunities and possibilities of the year upon which we have just entered we should consider them with the broad outlook of all humanity. The chief point with each one of us should be, how may I make my life count for the most that the world may be the better for my having lived in it. It this be the dominant thought with which we face the future it is quite clear that it will place all we do upon the high plane of the public good. This will move us to be industrious, considerate, kindhearted and neighborly. taking advantage of every opportunity to improve ourselves along all lines that we may render more intelligent and efficient service wherever our duties call us. Starting with the right perspective and dominated with the desire and determination to do our best we can face the future with faith, confidence and assurance that we shall reap abundantly of the things which we have sown. BEARING FRUIT INTELLIGENT agitation against mob-murder, commonly called lynching, is bearing fruit. Statistics show that the known lynchings last year were fifty per cent less than those of the preceding year. The figures for 1922 are fifty-seven and for 1923 twenty-eight, a fraction less than one-half. Moreover it is noteworthy that there were forty-six cases in which the officers of the law prevented mob-murders. This proves the position that we have always taken that lynchings can be prevented in nearly every case if sworn officers of the law will only do their duty. As usual: nearly all the victims of the mob belong to the colored race, twenty-six of the twenty-eight being of this race. It is to be hoped that the time will soon come when America can point to a clean record and take her rightful place among the civilized nations of the world with her escutcheon purged from every stain of mob violence and mob-murder. Agitation and education must continue until this be brought to pass. HAVE FAITH IN COOLIDGE SOME of our contemporaries are very much disturbed by the fact that President Coolidge in his first message to Congress stated that the matter of racial adjustments in their final analysis belong to the respective local communities. They look upon this statement as a sop to the South. But granted that it is which we do not admit, is it not true? The ultimate solution of all misunderstandings must be worked out in one's own household, one's own community. CARPING CRITICISM CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always welcomed and should be welcomed by broad-minded people, charged with responsibility who are anxious to obtain the best results; but there are people who seem to take delight in criticizing everything and everybody for the mere sake of criticism. Carping criticism butters no paranips. If you have cultivated this habit cut it out. JACK FROST ARRESTED NEW YEAR'S DAY mercury touched nine degrees below zero in Omaha. A real cool spell, thank you. Omaha police officers arrested Jack Frost whom they found sleeping off a jag of choice booze in a snow bank. He was taken to jail to sleep off his drunk. Tuesday the weather moderated. And some would have us believe that Omah's police force don't get good results. ADAM McMULLEN A CANDIDATE Adam McMullen of Beatrice filed as a republican candidate for governor Dec. 22 and made a statement in which he says he believes that he is, in a sense, obligated to become a candidate, that he stands ready, in return for educational advantages in business and in agricultural opportunities, to render back to the state any service he can perform, that the hopes and problems of the farmer are his own. He does not pledge himself to work miracles. His pledge is the same he made to the people in the past campaign, that if nominated and elected, wherever through his recommendation or official action the burden of taxation can be lessened or the condition of the state improved in any way, it will be promptly done. THE TEN MUSICAL SPILLERS One of the notable colored added attractions with the big double show "Giggles," at the popular Gayety twice daily all next week. THE TEN MUSICAL SPILLERS Added Feature With "Giggles," the Big Double Show at the Gayety A visit to Columbia Burlesque at the popular Gayety theatre next week should be planned by lovers of light entertainment and admirers of pretty girls. "Giggles" is the name of the attraction scheduled for the week and its producers give assurance in advance that this title only half conveys the amount of fun that will be found in its nine attractive scenes. It is reported from other cities where "Giggles" has played, that while there are plent y of giggles as the show proceeds, there are lots more real hearty laughs. Producer Levitt, Harry Evanson and William Davis, the authors of the book, have striven for comedy and are declared to have been unusually successful. An organization that knows how to get the most out of the amusing lines and situations is said to have been assembled. St. Clair Dotson and Millard McConn, colored steppers are tangle-foot dances of the first water. This aggregation of fun makers is headed by Harry Evanson the featured comedian and includes William Davis, Joe Lang, Sid Rogers, Olive DeCovney, Miltred Simmons, Kitty Warren, the Burley Symphonists and La Penty and Kaney, Harry Evanson is well known to local theatregoers as a boo comedian and is said to be funnier than ever. William Davis, a very clever straight man, is the foil for Evanson's comedy undertakings. Kitty Warren is noted in the world of entertainment for her impersonations of male types as well as for the facility and grace of the style of entertaining she does as a singing and dancing soubrette. Sid Rogers and Joe Lang are character comedians who will assist Harry Evanson in perpetuating waves of laughter to the last ripple. The world famous Ten Musical Spillers, the raziest, jazziest boquet of colored artists who ever rolled into town on car wheels, is an added feature. Mildred Simmons, ingenuue, possesses a pleasing personality and a fine voice; La Penty and Kaney are marvelous dancers who come from far off Argentine while the Burley Symphonists is composed of women who are declared the best instrumental interpreters of syncopated tunes heard in many moons. Costumes of rare and beautiful design are changed ten times in the twice-daily presentations of "Giggles" by a chorus of girls favored with good looks and talent. MENT OF CENTER OF COLORED POPULATION Washington, D. C., Jan. 4.—It has been given out by the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce, that the new center of Negro population is near Fishing Fawn, Ga. For the first time in its history, it is said, this center has moved to the northeast, its former movements having been in a southwesterly direction. Says the Bureau: "The present northeasterly movement was due principally to the great increase in the Negro population of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvanai West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The total increase in the Negro population of the United States was 635,368 and the increase in the Northern States, noted was 56 per cent of the total increase. This hegira North of the Negro population was due mainly to the expansion of certain industries during the World War. It is probably true that this movement has been continued due to the reduction of the cotton crop and the demand for common labor at higher wages in the North." BALL FOR ACTORS A ball will be given next Wednesday night at Dreamland Hall in honor of the talented colored actors who are playing at the Gayetey theatre with the Giggles' company. Some members of the company have relatives living here. Our people responded liberally in their subscriptions to the Community Chest. Many paid cash. Others subscribed, promising to pay quarterly.

COLORED CONTRALTO SOLOIST SCORES WITH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 4.—Marian Anderson, a twenty-two year old colored girl, of this city, recently scored a heavy hit as contralto soloist with the Philarmonic Society, one of America's leading orchestras. The young artist, who is at present studying with Guisepe Boghetti, rose to the occasion of her opportunity, and, with musicianly sensibility and a voice of quality far above the average, rendered a number of outstanding selections. First, she offered "O Mio Fernando," from Donizetti's "Favorite." Then she sang two Negro spirituals, "My Lord, What & Mornin'," and "Heav'n, Heav'n." Delivering the Donizetti air with telling fervor and dramatic emphasis, she passed to the more congenial field of the racial songs in which she was thoroughly at home. These native ballads she gave in a way that reached and stirred the hearts of all who heard her luscious and resonant voice, with a driving power of art and temperament behind it. The applause, when she finished, came like a sudden blast of gun-fire, and continued through so many recalls that it seemed as if a rule must be broken and an encore granted.

FIND REMEDY FOR FATAL TSETSE FLY SICKNESS FIND REMEDY London, Jan. 4.—A new German remedy for sleeping sickness, "Bayer 205," may save 10,000,000 Africans from death and result in repopulation of enormous areas laid waste by the ravages of the tsetse fly, a famous expert on tropical diseases told newspaper men here recently. This expert regards the German discovery as the most important in medicine, except insulin, in many years. He said he had used it in hundreds of cases in Africa, and the result was a cure in most of them. He said the area depopulated by the tsetse fly, but now destined to be reclaimed, stretches from the Southern Sudan in the upper waters of the Nile down to Lake Bangweola, Northern Rhodesia.

New York.—Engineers are studying the problem of sleeping berths on airplanes, it was revealed recently in a report by Archibald Black and Donald R. Black, aeronautical engineers of Garden City, L. L., at the forty-fourth annual meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at 20 West Thirty-ninth street. Railroads are on the verge of air competition that seriously will menace their extra-fare train traffic, the report declares, and this competition will appear between New York and Chicago when costs can be brought down by a headway of at least 50 airplanes daily each way. "It would seem," the report states, "that there is a reasonable probability of a headway of 50 planes a day being reached in 15 or 29 years after the start of operations, and it is quite possible for this headway to be reached in as little as ten years." At least one commercial line will be operating a packet service between New York and Chicago within the next two to five years, according to the report, which says night air service could practically eliminate competing night-letter telegraph service for distances up to about 1,200 miles. The most logical development, it adds, would be for the railroads and telegraph companies to take over the development of airplane transportation and conduct it parallel with their other activities. Ghostly Noises Reveal New York.—A lost carrier pigeon, which fell down a chimney and for four days furnished a first-class imitation of a ghost, was found recently in the home of Abram Wosnitzer, hat manufacturer, of No. 743 Clinton avenue. The Wosnitzers and their four children began to hear strange noises above their living room fireplace Saturday. The family dog investigated and the noises increased. They occurred at intervals night and day. Mrs. Wosnitzer became so nervous that plans were made to tear down the chimney, when a door above the mantle was opened and the bedraggled, tired pigeon flopped into the middle of the room. The pigeon was identified by leg-bands as belonging to William Holver of No. 316 Old Bergen street, Jersey City. Holver, a fireman of Engine Company No. 15, is a member of the Jersey City Racing Pigeon club. The bird was one of twenty racing from Washington to Jersey City. MOL WORLD PHOTO London.—Professor A.

An antiquated story-and-a-half Creole cottage sitting right down on the banquette, as do the Choctaw squawns who sell bay and cassafras and life-everlasting, with a high, close board fence shutting out of view the diminutive garden on the southern side. An ancient willow droops over the roof of round tiles, and partly hides the discolored stucco, which keeps dropping off into the garden as though the old cafe was stripping for the plunge into oblivion—disbobling for its execution. I see, well up in the angle of the broad side gable, shaded by its rude awning of clapboards, as the eyes of an old dame are shaded by her wrinkled hand, the window of Pauline. Oh, for the image of the malden, were it but for one moment, leaning out of the casement to hang her mockingbird and looking down into the garden—where, above the barrier of old boards, I see the top of the fig-tree, the pale green clump of bannanas, the tall palmetto with its jagged crown. Pauline's own two orange trees holding up their hands toward the window, heavy with the promises of autumn; the broad, crimson mass of the many-stemmed oleander, and the crisp boughs of the pomegranate loaded with freckled apples, and with here and there a lingering scarlet blossom.—Cable. WOMAN'S WORLD IS WIDER Increased Opportunities for Gainful Employment Are Found by the Fair Sex. Women are now enfranchised and enjoy almost equal educational opportunities with men. They may enter practically all professions and trades, and 21.01 per cent of them are gainfully employed. The passage by almost every state of married women's property and equal guardianship acts has freed wives and mothers from the medievalism of the common law, says Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale in Current History Magazine. Millions of home-making women are organized for cultural, philanthropic and civic ends, which modern domestic conveniences and labor-saving devices give them leisure to pursue. City homes are smaller and social life is consequently spent more in public. Prosperity and machinery have given us on the one hand the largest leisure class of women the world has known, while on the other hand modern industries (replacing the old home industries by quantity production in factories), plus the increased cost of living, drives an ever larger proportion of women into extra domestic remunerative work. Murder Defined. What is murder in the first degree? In the second degree? in the second degree. These definitions differ with the statutes of the states. In general it may be said that murder in the first degree is confined to homicide committed by poison, lying in wait and other killings committed in pursuance of a deliberate and premedicated design, and to those which accomplish the commission of some of the more atrocious felonies, such as burglary, arson and rape. Murder in the second degree occurs where there is no such deliberately formed design to take life or to perpetrate one of the enumerated felonies as is required for the first degree, but where, nevertheless, there was a purpose to kill (or at least to inflict the particular injury without caring whether it caused death or not) formed instantaneously in the mind, and where the killing was without justification or excuse, and without any such provo cation as would reduce the crime to the grade of manslaughter. Our Currency At the present time there are five kinds of paper money or currency issued for circulation purposes. The United States Treasury issues three kinds: (1) United States notes, an authorized issue of about 346 million dollars protected by gold reserve of approximately 152 million dollars; (2) gold certificates issued against an equal amount of gold held in the U. S. Treasury for redemption, and (3) silver certificates issued against an equal amount of standard silver dollars held in the U. S. Treasury. Two kinds of bank currency are issued—national bank notes, secured by deposit of United States bonds, and Federal Reserve notes, secured by commercial paper and gold—Argonaut. First Engine Used in 1829 The first attempt made in the United States to use locomotive engines, otherwise than for mere experiment, was made on the railway from Carbondale to Honesdale, Pa., 16 miles, built by the Delaware and Hudson Canal company. The Storbridge Lion, a locomotive built in England, was placed upon the road in August, 1820. In 1830, construction was begun on the South Carolina railroad, and the road was designed and built to be operated by steam locomotives. This was the first railway built with the purpose from the beginning of using steam locomotives. Nothing at All. "And you'd love me just the same if I hadn't a cent; wouldn't you, dear?"
