Frank Jones, Porter, Extinguishes Lighted Fuses Just in Time to Keep Bomb from Causing a Catastrophe. Is Seriously Injured in Fall While, Doing Heroic Act. Will be Rewarded for Bravery New York, Jan. 22.—What is known to Inspector Owen Egan, of the Bureau of Combustibles and members of the Bomb Squad of the Police Department as a "scare" bomb—that is, one made by an amateur and not containing enough explosive material to do serious damage—was found early yesterday under a stairs of the Manhattan Street subway station in a place, the police said, where had a high explosive been employed the damage to the elevated structure would have tied up service north of Manhattan Street for many days. Frank Jones, Negro porter' of the station, made his morning rounds at 8:30 o'clock, armed with his broom. As he reached the mezzanine platform alongside the escalator his attention was attracted to some newspapers under the stairs, leading to the station platform, where little refuse had ever collected before. When he started to pick these up he noticed that a part of the paper was on fire. He attempted to scatter the papers with his broom, but they would not move. Then he observed a fuse, which was slowly burning 'its way to a tin can wrapped in the newspapers. In running for a pail of water Jones fell headlong, but was not seriously injured. He managed to put out the fuse, which had evidently been burning, but a little while. Detective Coy, of the Bomb Squad, and Detectives Collins and Boyle, of the Fourth Branch, summoned by the station agent, could find no elue to the person who placed the bomb. Inspector Egan found that a quantity of smokeless powder had been placed in the can, which had formerly contained preserves, together with eleven slugs, two springs, and the top of a newel post. The can was wrapped in newspapers, one dated January 17 and another January 20. "The bomb was too erudite made," Captain Tunney, of the Bomb Squad said yesterday afternoon, "to do more damage than cause a fire." No real bombmaker would use preserve tin, as it is too weak. Had the tin burst, there would have been only a flare-up." Captain Tunney said some of the slugs might have come from a railroad shop, and the springs appeared to be the sort used in subway seats. It is expected that Jones will be rewarded for his act of bravery. INQUIRY IN NEGRO ABRESTS Savannah, Ga.-The Police Committee of the City Council is conducting an investigation into the wholesale arrests made by the police department of Negroes who were said to be leaving Savannah to work in the North. Attorneys for the Negroes, employed by the Colored Business Men's League, maintain that the majority of those arrested were young Negro students and that the arrests were illegal, and without cause. JURY TO HEAR CASE OF "JIM CROW" SCHOOL BOOM Mother of Colored Children Fights Segregation at Downingtown West Chester, Pa. - Several weeks ago Mrs. Rebecca Simms, Colored, of Downingtown, refused to send her two daughters to the public school, because, she contended, that they were discriminated against on account of their color. She was twice arrested for violation of the compulsory educational law, and on the second occasion was fined $4.40, which she declined to pay, and was committed to prison by Justice Hunter Wills. Through her counsel she applied to 18th court for allowance to appeal from the summary conviction. At the hearing she testified that all the Colored children had been taken from the five lower grades and placed in a basement room under the care of one teacher, a young Colored man. LOCAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE TAKES PART IN FREE BRIDGE OPENING Among the organizations which took part in the celebration of the opening of the Free Bridge last Saturday were the members of the local Negro Business League, of which H. A. Smith is president. The St. Louis Argus Hampton, January 21.—Special: Dave Richards, a Negro of Estill, was taken from the county jail here last night by a party from Estill, and although not lynched, he was badly beaten up and left in the woods. According to the Negro's statement, his life was spared as the result of the pleading of one member of the party. The reports of the affair vary, though the salient features are substantiated by a number of witnesses. Richardson, who, according to the report, was drunk, assaulted a Mr. Glover, an elderly man, who clerks in the store of Marvin O'Neal at Estill, last night by drawing his pistol on Mr. Glover. He was arrested and taken to the jail at Estill. Later the mayor of the town, learning that a party was being formed to take him from the jail and lynch him, had him removed by automobile to the county jail at Hampton-Magistrate's Constable J. A. Cook and John O. Smith brought him to Hampton. Crowd Makes For Door Arriving at the county jail the Negro was delivered over to the jailer, J. P. Bowers, who proceeded upstairs to the cells with his prisoner, locking the front door of the jail. Then one of the men who brought the Negro to Hampton went back downstairs to get the Negro's hat which he had dropped in an effort to get away. When he unlocked the door and went out he was met by a party of about thirty-five men, according to his estimate, who rushed for the open door. Just as the crowd reached the door, the jailer's daughter, who is about 14 years of age, ran into an adjoining room, grabbed one of her father's pistols, and rushed back to the door, covering the lynching party with the revolver and declaring "I will shoot the first one that enters the door." She held them thus at bay until her brother, fearing that some harm might overtake her, took the pistol from her, whereupon some of the crowd rushed in and went upstairs, overpowered the jailer, took the prisoner and fled in automobiles in the direction of Estill. MERCURY Notified The young lady then notified Sheriff Lightsey by telephone, stating to him that the prisoner had been taken away by five or six men. She stated that it was a "put up" game. The sheriff left Brunson, where he resides, for Hampton and immediately took up the trail of the party but was unable to find out anything as to their whereabouts or the whereabouts of the Negro. Jailer Bowers pleaded with the party not to lynch the Negro, after they had overpowered him and taken his prisoner. Today the Negro was found at another Negro's house a few miles from Hampton. He seemed to be still drunk and was badly beaten. The theory is that the would-be lynching party, on account of the fact that the members of it were recognized by several people in Hampton, and as cars from Hampton were following the party closely, decided not to kill the Negro, but beat him and threw him out of the car. The Negro stated that he did not know who the members of the party were. An eyewitness stated that there were three automobiles in the party. Richadson will be given medical attention and brought back to Hampton to await trial.

NEGRO PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE DIES AT SPRINGFIELD Springfield, Ill., January 24.—No one in the large audience who heard William Jennings Bryan speak here last night, not even Bryan himself, knew that an opponent of his in the presidential race of 1896 lay dying less than six blocks from the State Arsenal, where Mr. Bryan spoke. Virtually at the hour Bryan's meeting ended, William T. Scott, candidate of the Liberty party in 1896, passed away. Scott was the only Negro ever nominated for president by a regularly constituted delegate convention, in which most of the states were represented. At the time of his nomination Scott was wealthy and resided in Cairo, Ill. MUSICAL RECITAL MUSICAL RECITAL THOMAS THEODORE TAYLOR, GREAT PIANIST, AT WHEATLEY BRANCH Y. W. C. A.

Harold Henry. 426 Pine Arts Bldg., Chicago, Ill., May 28, 1913. To miss hearing Mr. T. Theo. Taylor, one is losing a rare treat. Combined with beauty of tone and refinement of expression as well as brilliancy is the undefinable charm that shows the gifted musician. M. T.

THE OSTENDE CLUB FORMAL RECEPTION Pythian Auditorium to-be Some of Gala Evening Under Anpices of Prominent Social Set February 6 That well-known social organization, the Ostende Social Club, is about to provide another of its ever welcome contributions to the gayety of the present season. A formal reception will be given on Monday, February 5, at the Pythian Auditorium, in the prodigial manner in which the club is accustomed to entertain those fortunate enough to be able to attend its affairs. The prospective guests will alight at the mouth of a spacious canopy extending from the curb to the entrance of the auditorium, thus being assured of an entry to the elegantly and expensively decorated hall, untouched by either the inclemency of the elements or the prying gaze of unwelcome onlookers. The hall will be filled with waving palms, forming many sequestered nooks, where, in the subdued light emanating from hundreds of electric bulbs, each covered with a multicolored Chinese lantern, youth and beauty may find respite from the alluring, but arduous tolls, of the most modern dances. The color scheme to be carried out throughout the hall is purple and gold, and official colors of the club. No expenditure of either time or money will be spared by the devoted members of this prominent organization in their effort to give St. Louis society one of the gala events of the current social season. Professor Grant will act as master of ceremonies. The mere announcement of this fact should be sufficient to guarantee that all of the niceties of social conduct will be serupulously observed. The officers of the club announce that the admission price of this reception will be the modest sum of fifteen cents per person, this including the service of the Ostende Special, Delmonico ice cream and mixed cakes as the necessary concomitants of a glorious social evening.

HEALEY AND JONES CONFESS IN GRAFT CASE Latest Developments Look Bad for Chicago's Negro Alderman, Oscar De Priest. Stripped of Lieutenancy in Mayor Thompson's Following. Denies Charges. State's Attorney says "Syndicate" Collected Thousands of Dollars Monthly Chicago, Ill., Jan. 25.—Police Capt. Stephen K. Henly and Henry (Teenan) Jones have confessed to charges made against them in indictments obtained for members of the "Vice Trust" last week. States Attorney Horne says the statements obtained clinches the case against Oscar De Priest, Negro Alderman, and all who have been mentioned in the "Black Helt" shake up. De Priest has been stripped of lieutenancy in Mayor Thompson's following, and the administration, after casting him aside, has set out to crush his influence. A dozen places in the Cottage Grove Avenue and Stanton Avenue, police districts are listed as tribute payers. Each, Mr. Hoyne says, paid its "bit" to the "syndicate" headed by De Priest. "Profits from the dozen or more gambling houses operated by the syndicate ran into thousands of dollars a month," said Mr. Hoyne. "Jones, says De Priest got the biggest share. The Alderman let the word go round that as long as the present administration remained in power he, De Priest, would let gamblers go as far as they wanted to—so long as he was "declared in." Alderman De Priest denies the charges made against him, saving: "The statements of Capt. Healy and 'Teenan' Jones are mysteries I can't solve," he said, in reply to a question. "I have never taken any money. I can't understand the situation." Mr. Hoyne already has a confession from Cadozas covering his partnership with De Priest. He refused to accept a confession from Lewis because the latter insisted on a guarantee of immunity. Captain Healy and Lieut. A. M. White, who also confessed, are white and it is stated that they have earned Hoyne's promise of "consideration," for baring the workings of the "syn- dicate." WILSON IS ASKED FOR GOD'S BAKE TO BE AN AMERICAN New York, January 24.—Henry A. Wise Wood sent this letter today to the president: "Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D.

COURAGE WITH BACKBONE chad last week a news article telling of a fist Stanley, of Kentucky, to the little town of Murfoug, which threatened to take place if the continuance in the case of a Colored man who was a white man. We learn of the acts of the governor in the villages as an outstanding character, and my political positions. After hearing his most eloquent speech, in his soul: "Before blackening my soul with a sword to the dictates of a disorderly mob, I am me by the neck until I was dead," and sent it, they began sulking away one and two a few more governors like Stanley. Yes, men and mean it; men who are able to stand the majesty of the law. In for right and justice the governor said: "But one difference between civilization and communities where men sleep at night with unrivalves and children about them and none to you are wont to do here in Calloway—they between such a community and the jungle where with a knotted club above the body of his mother and his simple holdings by the strength of houses, reverence for law and order, and the citizen to look to the law for the vindication of his property are the essence of freely courts and insult judges, you lapse into Irish all claim to civilization. There in this temple of justice, not only with his law, but with the sanction of a higher deed from Sinai. We are not to snatch the accused from punishment, violence; not to paralyze, but to give vigor to the strong arm of the law. It is my man is tried as speedily as may be consistent on trial, and freedom from every form of trial from those who would incite to murder to children. Go back and tell them and what you have almost done, and if they in thisudge, come and wreak your vengeance can. Blackening my soul with a base perjury and states of a disorderly mob, I would suffer you until I was dead, or in your ferocious wrath to and feed the dismembered fragments to the body at the stake and send back to my wife and brave and honest man, rather than to purchase the price of perfidy, cowardice, and dishonor, real eloquence because it expresses conviction backed by action. We published last week a news article telling of a flying trip of Governor Stanley, of Kentucky, to the little town of Murray, to prevent a lynching which threatened to take place if the local judge granted a continuance in the case of a Colored man who was charged with killing a white man. The more we learn of the acts of the governor in this case, the stranger he illumes as an outstanding character, and model for the men in high political positions. The mob, after hearing his most eloquent speech, in which he said with all his soul, "Before blackening my soul with a base perjury and submitting to the dictates of a disorderly mob, I would suffer you to hang me by the neck until I was dead," and seeing that the governor meant it, they began sulking away one and two at a time. We need a few more governors like Stanley. Yes, men who will say a thing and mean it; men who are able to stand the "jeers" of a mob to uphold the majesty of the law. "There is but one difference between civilization and savagery, between communities where men sleep at night with unlocked doors with their wives and children about them and none to make them afraid, as you are wont to do here in Calloway—there is but one difference between such a community and the jungle where a savage chief stands with a knotted club above the body of his dusky spouse to protect her and his simple holdings by the strength of his right arm. Courthouses, reverence for law and order, and the willingness of every citizen to look to the law for the vindication of his wrongs and the protection of his property are the essence of civilization. When you defy courts and insult judges, you lapse into barbarism, you relinquish all claim to civilization. "I speak here in this temple of justice, not only with the authority of the civil law, but with the sanction of a higher decree first proclaimed from Sinai. "I am here not to snatch the accused from punishment, but to save him from violence; not to paralyze, but to give vigor and strength and dignity to the strong arm of the law. It is my purpose to see that this man is tried as speedily as may be consistent with his security, while on trial, and freedom from every form of outside interference. "I appeal from those who would incite to murder to mothers and wives and children. Go back . . . and tell them what I have said to you and what you have almost done, and if they condemn me or condemn thisudge, come and wreak your vengeance upon us both, if you can. "Before blackening my soul with a base perjury and submitting to the dictates of a disorderly mob, I would suffer you to hang me by the neck until I was dead, or in your ferocious wrath to tear me limb from limb and feed the dismembered fragments to the vultures, or burn my body at the stake and send back to my wife and children the ashes of a brave and honest man, rather than to purchase a cycle of security at the price of perfidy, cowardice, and dishonor." That is real eloquence because it expresses conviction and courage and was backed by action. BUSINESS CONFIDENCE going to an article which appeared in the "Pacific Olive Street Terrace Realty Co., with office in Park Building, it appears that the officers and said scheme to doubly charge the Negroes of the company in South Kinloch. The company has not been fair to their Negro client, filed against the Negro and according to state Dispatch," the president of the Olive Street Terrace, states that the Negroes must pay twice as much as the lots, and that the company would not even for cash for the same price that they were remembered that the representatives of the Negro for the past four or five years, gone around and Colored people to buy lots at Kinloch and have been much dissatisfaction on the part of suits have followed. Concern of these professed friends of the Negro lots at an exorbitant price, to the Negroes was the next time such men come around with the Negro will look a long time before he will men. Successful business is run on confidence. According to an article which appeared in the "Post-Dispatch," of Jan. 24, Olive Street Terrace Reality Co., with offices in the Boatmen's Bank Building, it appears that the officers and salesmen have a well organized scheme to doubly charge the Negroes who buy lots from the company in South Klnloch. The company has not been fair to their Negro clients. They have discriminated against the Negro and according to statement made in the "Post-Dispatch," the president of the Olive Street Terrace Co. Mr. Ferris, states that the Negroes must pay twice as much as the whites for the lots, and that the company would not sell to the Negroes even for cash for the same price that they would sell to the It will be remembered that the representatives of the Olive Street Co., have, for the past four or five years, gone around and begged and coaxed the Colored people to buy lots at Kinloch and as we understand there has been much dissatisfaction on the part of purchasers and law suits have followed. The effrontery of these professed friends of the Negro who have sold these lots at an exorbitant price, to the Negroes will be Born, bred, and the next time such men come around with "gold Brick" to sell, the Negro will look a long time before he will accept their proposition. Successful business is run on confidence. WOMEN OFFICERS Now that the fourteen year old daughter of a South Carolina sheriff stood off a mob with her father's pistol, saying, "I'll shoot the first one who enters this jail," we think it is high time for the women not only to vote, but they should hold office and, no doubt there would be less lynching in the South. The act of this young Miss has clearly proven the fallacy of the but the fourteen year old daughter of a South woman mob with her father's pistol, saying, "I'll enter this jail," we think it is high time to vote, but they should hold office and, no doubt, teaching in the South. Of this young Miss has clearly proven the time worn saying of officers that, "the mob overp Any man who has not the courage of a fourteen business with an office. time worn saying of officers that, "the mob overpowered" the sheriff.

"Giles B. Jackson and other Negroes," so say the wires, have appeared before a Senate committee in Washington and asked for the establishment of a "Negro West Point." Giles is an alleged lawyer from Richmond, Virginia, who has figured in a number of Jim-crow propositions, but this one caps the climax. How any man born in America, can go to Congress and ask that the badge of infirmity be placed upon him and his children by Congressional action, is beyond the comprehension of The Appeal. If colored men are willing to risk their lives in defense of their country, they ought to be trained in the existing West Point and if they are Jim-crowed they ought to refuse to enlist. It would be interesting to look into Giles' head and see the wheels go round.—St. Paul Appeal. America has no business in the wars of Europe. The varied sympathies of her population make it unwise to throw herself on the side of either belligerent. It would produce a house divided against itself and tear the nation into fragments by internal dissentions. Let us follow wisdom whose "ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace." THE LORD'S SUNDAY MRS. SUSAN VAUGHN Lovejoy, Ill., Jan. 24.—A grand, re ception was given by the members of Queen Elizabeth Court No. 6, at the Masonic Hall in honor of Grand Most Ancient Matron of the State of Illinois and its jurisdiction, Mrs. Susan Vaughn. ST. PAUL A. M. A. CHURCH Last Sunday Dr. Johnson preached a soul-stirring sermon from the subject, "Heavenly Citizenship."

Come and worship with us. The new financial system is progressing nicely. Bring the children to Sunday school at 9:15 a. m. and come to the League at 6:30 p. m. Welcome is the watch word. BACCALAUREATE SERMON AT ST. JAMES Dr. W. H. Peek will preach the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of Summer High, Sunday, January 28, at 11 a. m. This promises to be a literary treat, as Dr. Peek's reputation as a gifted paterteer is well known. This is one of the most wide awake schools in the city. The Primary Department has taken on new life. Two of our most capable young women are at the head: viz. Misses Grace Williams and Marguerite Stewart, who are devoting both time and talent to this special work. Under the new system they have inaugurated, this is destined to become the most complete and pepitiful among our churches. We are grieved to report the relapse of Mrs. Peck, who is very ill at this writing. We are praying for a speedy permanent recovery. Dr. Peck has the sympathy of the entire membership and nothing will be spared to administer to her comfort. Her mother, Mrs. McCampbell, of Kansas City, is with her. Mrs. Benzie Page Rev. McGee, the evangelist; is conducting live and very successful meetings. In his plain way he pours out the gospel. Last Sunday he chose as his subject, "What Does the Gospel Mean to Me." The pastor, Rev. S. A. Mosley, makes all visitors and strangers welcome. The revival spirit is existing also in the Sunday school, Sister Roach, of 4015 Flaney, the old cat member in the church, is sick. We were pleased to have Sister M.

The wonderful sermons of Bishop Kyle, of Metropolitan Church, are drawing larger and larger crowds each night. The bishop is possessed with peculiar qualifications, such as justly fit him, for evangelistic work; he is not only wonderful in preaching but Rev. J. W. Hall, Pres. L. E. Molton, Seey. S. M. Collins, Reporter. great in his singing. People are being converted in every service. Sunday afternoon, he will speak to married men and married women only, or those who have been married. This will be a wonderful message; he has spoken a number of times on similar occasions. Nothing is more beautiful than to see strong robust men and women give up the things of the world and take a firm stand for Jesus Christ. The metropolitan choir is rendering splendid music, it is melting the hearts of the people with the gospel, in song. All are welcome to these services. The interest and enthusiasm continues good at Providence. Hear our choir. The Sunday school is growing rapidly under the leadership of our new superintendent, Mr. W. Chiles Henderson. The men of the church met last Thursday night, and organized the "Willing Workers' Club," with Sister Birdie Austin as president.

China is credited with having nurtured the genius who first conceived the idea of a writing material made from fibrous pulp, and some investigators profess to have found evidence that paper existed in the celestial kingdom at least two centuries before the Christian era. Whether these claims of centuries of priority will endure the light of further research, or whether they will be discredited just as have been the same nation's claim to the invention of the mariner's compass and gunpowder, the fact is fairly well established that when the Arabs defeated a raiding party of celestials before the gates of Samarkand, in the middle of the eighth century, they captured a party of Chinamen who were skilled paper makers. It was from this city of Russian Turkistan, once the capital of that most ruthless of Mongol princes, Tamerlane, that the art of these captives spread throughout Asia Minor and northern Africa, into Moorish Spain and finally into Italy, where the first extensive factories were established in 1276 at Fabriano, still a center of the paper industry in southern Europe. "Up to the closing years of the eighteenth century all paper was made by hand, sheet by sheet, but in the same year that Napoleon fought the battle of the Pyramids, Louis Robert, humble workman in the paper mill of Didot at Esonees, south of Paris, invented a machine for making paper in an endless web. The invention was developed in England by the two Fourdriners, who lost a fortune in their pioneer work. Their names, however, are perpetuated in the papermaking machines of the present day. "The first American paper mill was established by William Rittenhouse in Borxborough near Philadelphia, just 83 years after the first permanent English settlement in the United States at Jamestown." The simplest task the hand can try, The dullest round of duty, Knowledge can amply glorify, And art can crown with beauty. Wholesome Foods for Children. Fruits in season are always good for the youngsters, to keep them rosy- checked and airy. Cornmeal, oatmeal and whole wheat should form a large part of the diet of young and old. **Cornan) Brandy** Take a cupful of whole oatmeal, one half cupful of barley flakes and one half teaspoonful of salt, a pint of milk, a quart of water, a yeast cake and whole wheat flour. Mix the cereals, add salt to the boiling water and stir in the cereal; cook about two hours, rub through a sleeve, adding water to make three cupfuls of gruel, then add the milk, previously scalded, and the yeast cake, dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of water. Add sufficient whole wheat flour to make a soft dough, mixing thoroughly with a spoon, beating for five minutes. Let stand well covered in a warm place to rise until very light. Add more flour, mix again and pour into well-greased pans to stand until light. Bake in a moderate oven for 40 minutes. Whole Wheat Ralain Bread. Take three cupfuls of milk, one cupful of water, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one and one-half cupfuls of raisins, one yeast cake and whole wheat flour. Scald the milk and when lukewarm add a yeast cake softened in a little warm water; add the salt and whole wheat flour to make a soft dough, beat well and let stand until light and spongy. Then add the raisins, floured and seeded, and enough more flour to make a stiff dough. Knead, mold into loaves, put into greased pans and let stand again until light. Brush the tops of the loaves with milk and bake in a moderate oven 40 minutes. Apple Roly Poly. Chop two cupfuls of apples very fine, add a half cupful of raisins and place on a thinly rolled sheet of pastry. Fold up with all the laps on top and place in a deep saucepan, adding a cupful of boiling water, a cupful of brown sugar and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Bake in a moderate oven one hour. Serve with a sauce made from brown sugar, water and butter boiled to a thin stirp, or with sweetened whipped cream. This pudding may be made in individual puddings if desired. Warm gingerbread with cream, either whipped or plain, makes a most wholesome dessert. A Movie actress who has won high favor among patrons of the silent drama. Wanted One More A large manufacturing concern sent frequent and urgent demands to a certain delinquent dealer and, being unable to get as much as a response, sent a representative to personally wait. "My dear sir," responded the delinquent, smiling, "those collection letters from your firm are the best I have ever seen. I have had copies made and am sending them out to the trade, and it's wonderful the number of old accounts I have been able to collect. I haven't paid my bill, as I felt sure there was another letter in the series. I have some hard customers to deal with, and I need the last letter." Driving Screws Into Plaster. When screws are driven into a plaster wall they may be made firm enough to hold considerable weight if they be withdrawn, wrapped with cotton string and dipped into plaster of parts until sufficient adheres to fill the hole in the wall and to permit some of it to be forced behind the plaster. This latter forms a plier that holds the screw firm. ee ee a rT ee eS eee : i eee eS : = oo wah ea racer See ek . : ae * : : | eres, |" 4221408 | Licenses] DEATHS OF THE WEEK |—~—— —____ eS ra B® a ed ‘ ’ a Johason......21a §.

WITH A BACKGROUND A DER-MA-TAS FAVORITE OF THE FILMS THE FILM OF "THE MISSING WOMAN" BY JOHN H. HARRISON, WITH A FILM BY JOHN H. HARRISON. Rhys Alexander, Star Who Has Won Wide Favor With Movie Patrona. A hen, like a human being, needs to be made comfortable in order to do the best work. As soon as the breeding season is over the male birds should be separated from the hens. The business of our domestic hen is to produce plenty of eggs, and we must feed her for them. Ducks and geese require deep drinking vessels, especially if reared and kept on land. Spotted or decaying flesh, if eaten, will surely cause limberneck. Burn or bury the dead. A little beef scraps or cut, fresh bone will help the pullets and the well-molted hens to start laying. Feeding fowls on one grain, or not feeding them enough, is very expensive, because it produces a loss instead of a profit. Remember that an egg is more than half water and that the fowls must have plenty of clean, fresh water to drink at all times. If the most of the grain fed to the fowls is corn it must be balanced by giving them plenty of wheat bran and beef scraps or cut fresh bone. When the hens cannot obtain green stuff in the fields, it must be supplied to them in the form of cabbage, mangels or something of that kind. While plenty of fresh air is necessary to keep the fowls in good health, it must be admitted to the henhouse in such a way that a draft does not blow on the fowls, especially at night when they are on the roost. Dinosaur of Ancient Days It has been said that the first duty of a whale is to be large—the blue whale is, then, the most successful whale, for it is the largest creature which has ever existed on the earth or in its wafers. Even those extinct giant reptiles, the dinosaurs, which splashed along the borders of the inland seas of Wyoming and Montana 3,000,000 years ago, could not approach a blue whale either in length or weight, declares a writer in the New York Independent. In 1903 a blue whale was weighed in sections in Newfoundland. The animal was 78 feet long, 35 feet around the shoulders, the head was 19 feet in length and the tail six feet from tip to tip. The total weight was 63 tons. The flesh weighed 40 tons, the blubber eight tons, the blood, viscera and baleen seven tons, and the bones eight tons. Exaggerated accounts of the size of blue whales are current even in reputable books on natural history, but the largest specimen which has yet been actually measured and recorded is 187 feet long, stranded a few years ago upon the coast of New Zealand; it must have weighed at least 75 tons. Hot Air Bath in Bed. An apparatus in which one can take a "hot air bath" in one's own bed is the invention of William F. Erath of Rosetbank, N. Y. It is of semicylindrical shape and consists of half hoops connected by lazy-tong members by means of which the apparatus can be collapsed when not in use. This frame is covered with blankets or comfortables packed closely around it to form an extemporaneous chamber for the occupant. A suitable heater or alcohol burner heats the air in a metal drum, which is connected by a pipe with an opening in the end of the bathing chamber. Another opening above it is for the disposition of the used-up air. A rod with a handle at its end, supported on a bracket, extends from the heater along the side of the bed to a point within convenient reach of the person and the compartment this enters the heat supply can be controlled mildly. An optical device, which is said to rival if not surpass the telescope in revealing the mysteries of the heavenly bodies, was exhibited at a recent meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in New York. The invention was exhibited by Dr. John A. Brashear of Pittsburgh. "This instrument is called a diffracting grating," said Doctor Brashear, as he showed what looked like a rectangular piece of metal about 2 by 4 inches long that changed colors under the electric lights. "On the plane surface of this polished plate, made accurate to one-tenth of a light wave, or within one-forty-five-thousandth of an inch, are ruled more than 45,000 lines between which there is no greater error than one-two-millionth of an inch. "With this delicate piece of apparatus, made possible, first, by rigorous scientific research; second, by the skill of the artisan; third, by a knowledge of and vigorous care to avoid temperature changes, and, fourth, by the accuracy of the mechanism, the astrophysicist has been able to tell the composition, temperature and distance of the stara." Paying Doctor to Keep One Well Not a Fantastic Idea We haven't yet learned to take advantage of the resources of civilization in anything like the extent we might. For instance, we wait until we get sick and then we pay the doctor to help us get well. It would be much more sensible to pay him to help us keep from getting sick. Fantastic idea, you say. Not at all. It already is working in a large number of college communities. Right here at home, in the state universities of Missouri and Kansas, for instance, says the Kansas City Star. "In both institutions the pupil is charged a fee which is applied to safeguarding his health. In the University of Missouri the plan is still further developed so that the fee covers medical and surgical attendance. The important point is that these universities and other schools are proving that health can be made much more of a community matter than had been supposed and that the wise thing to do is for groups to pay medical men to keep them well. Common Sense Exercises. Do simple setting up exercises, especially rotary abdominal exercises for five or ten minutes every morning, advises Cleveland Moffet in McClure's Magazine. Form the habit of doing abdominal exercises or muscles tensing and flexing exercises at odd times through the day. You can do these anywhere without attracting attention. Walk three or four miles a day and form the habit of breathing deeply and rhythmically through the nose as you walk—so many strides (usually five or six) to the outgoing breath, then the same number of strides to the incoming breath. Do this rhythmical breathing occasionally as you feel like it, and avoid making this or any other part of your plan irksome or monotonous. Do these things because you wish to do them. Do not force yourself to do them against your will. Train your will to be a consenting, an approving, a controlling power behind your actions. Things That Are New. A ferryboat that transports automobiles across a river in Washington is operated by jacking up the rear wheels of a car and connecting them by belts to machinery that drives the boat's paddle wheels and propeller. For the most rapid photography a camera has been invented in which the film is automatically shifted by the shutter closing and which is fitted with a pistol grip to aid in aiming it, at the same time keeping it level. An auxiliary set of wire net blades in a new electric fan are driven by the air moved by the regular blades and pass through a tank of water, vaporizing it so that it cools and purifies the air of a room in which the fan is used. Grease stain can be removed from kitchen wallpaper by covering them with a paste made of pipe clay and water and allowing it to remain several hours before removal with a clean brush. A screen of ambertinted glass to be attached to any motion picture projecting machine to filter out the ultraviolet rays that cause eye strain is the invention of a resident of Columbus, O. Steel, thinly veneered with wood, has been invented for interior finish of railroad cars, having the advantage that it will not splinter in event of accident, besides being a nonconductor of heat and cold. A famous optical works in Austria is using ultraviolet rays produced by are lights, the carbons of which are impregnated with the salts of iron, for examining the purity of material with which it deals. An automobile that turns easily in narrow streets that two New York men have patented has a wheel at each side and one at each end, the steering mechanism operating the last simultaneously.

HELP THE BLIND INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O, SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright: 1917, Western Newspaper Union) REWERENCE OF JESUS FOR HIS FOLLOWERS' HOUSE LEBSON TEXT—John 2:13-22 GOLDEN TEXT—My house shall be called a house of prayer—Matt. 2:13. Skipping the details of genealogy, birth and boyhood, John plunges into the work and ministry of our Lord. Our previous lessons have taken up the matter of his eternal Godhead, the word made flesh, the witness of John, Jesus and John the Baptist, his first disciples and the wedding at Canaan. Some of these events have been skipped over without much consideration, yet the teacher should review them briefly. The wedding at Canaan probably occurred in March, A. D. 27, and the events of this lesson in April of the Passover week of that year, both events occurring early in the first year of the ministry of our Lord. Jesus went to the wedding for he had many things to teach by means of it. The story is familiar, and yet God is performing the same miracle every year except by somewhat slower process. John lays strong emphasis upon the "signs" which Jesus performed as evidence of his office. This miracle is an allegory. It also throws light upon Jesus' relation to the home. 1. Jesus Applies the Word of God (vv. 12-57). As the "Son of the Law" Jesus observed all of its requirements and therefore went to the Passover (Deut. 16:18; Luke 2:41). We would suggest the reading of Edersheim's "Life of Christ" at this point, especially his description of the feast. Jesus found much of interest, and also saw that which filled his spirit with indignation as he entered the temple (v. 14). Great numbers of oxen and sheep and doves were required for the sacrifices. Every family must bring for sacrifice a lamb, the sacrifices being in in the inner court near the great altar. Those living nearer the city could bring their own sacrifices, but those who came from far distant points found it more convenient to purchase their sacrifices nearer the temple. Thus a business had grown up within the courts, which gave rise to an immense amount of covetousness and selfishness. The yearly tax due from every Jew could not be received except in the native coin; hence the money changers within the courts. The result was that the temple had become a "den of thieves" (Mark 11:17). This had undermined the power of religion, and turned men away from the truth. This place, made to be a house of prayer (Jer. 7:11; Iss. 56:7) had become a vanity fair; a show, and the very object of the temple was sacrificed to the great of gain. The defense often made in our day, of buying and selling in the house of God that it has to do with the cause of worship will not bear scrutiny in the light of this passage. Into these surroundings this young reformer enters, and places his finger upon the heart of the matter when he quotes the scripture. The reason of his action was what the scripture said about the house of God. Present day followers of Jesus can learn a lesson from these words. II. Jesus Fulfill the Word of God (vv. 18-22). Jesus spake as one having authority, and these merchants knew they were in the wrong. He embodied in himself, as prophet, the moral sentiment of the nation, and exerted his authority. It looked like highhanded usurpation unless Jesus were a prophet sent from God; therefore the demand for his credentials (v. 18). Jesus gave a sign, a sign which they did not understand at the time (v. 19; Matt. 12:38-40; 16:1-4). The resurrection of Jesus is God's seal to all of the claims of Jesus. He also speaks of his body as a symbol and type of what is to take place in their national temple, an event which occurred some forty years later, though they at the time did not understand it. Jesus forewax that these leaders would destroy his body on the cross, and that for the same reason they were at the present time, opposing him in what he had done. The Jews, thinking only of their temple, in whose courts they were standing, referred to the time spent in the erection of the building (v. 20), and thought that their argument was invincible; but they did not know what was to take place. Not even the disciples of Jesus understood his word: at the time, but after his resurrection they remembered them and their fulfillment. The death and resurrection of Jesus was in accordance with the word of God. His whole life birth and works can be traced in the Old Testament in type and prophecy. Young people should be taught to be reverent in the Sunday school and in all religious meetings. Attractions of Christian Work By REV. HOWARD W. POPE Moody Bible Institute, Chicago workers. We are told that the streams are dwindling just as the time when the banks should overflow. Doubtless there are many reasons for this, but one principal reason, I am sure, is the fact that so little is said about the attractions of Christian work. PETER H. worked and underpaid, and that they cross the "deendline" at fifty, but seldom do we hear the other side presented. There is another side, and if those who enjoy their work would occasionally set forth its attractions, surely there would be more young men to say: "Lord, here am I, send me!" Among the minor attractions the following may be mentioned: 1. It is a life of contact with men and books. It compels one to read, think and study human nature. A Christian worker may indulge in a wider range of reading than most men. If he has any hobby, such as botany, geology, or electricity, he can pursue it to his heart's content. No knowledge comes amiss to him. Nature and the supernatural are so related that one illustrates and explains the other. For a lawyer or doctor such studies would be a digression, but a Christian worker may explore the heavens, the earth, or the bottom of the sea, and come back better fitted for the special work to which God has called him. 2. The variety of the work is also an attraction. Preaching, prayer meeting and visiting the sick are but a small part of it. He is expected to agitate temperance, to be enthusiastic on missions and to aid Christian endeavor. In fact, every good cause looks to him for support. To be sure, with so many calls upon him, he has little time for profound study, but out of it he gains experience and versatility and becomes a good, all-around man. He learns what his forte is, and if he is wise he devotes himself mainly to that, leaving to others the work for which he is not fitted. Of all callings ours is the least monotonous. It is a life of constant activity and continual change. 3. One of the chief attractions of Christian work to me is the opportunity which it affords for religious growth. What I am spiritually. I owe to my profession, indeed, knowing my disposition, I am convinced that had I chosen any other calling I should by this time have had a good bank accounts and a soul as small as a mustard seed. A soul-winner must be a good man or fall. His own or others' necessities drive him constantly to the throne of grace and compel him to live in closet fellowship. with God. 4. It is no more than fair to admit that there are some discouragements as well as attractions. Inadequate compensation is one of them. The Christian worker is expected to have the instincts of a millionaire, the generosity of a prince, to dress as well as the best, and to do it all on a small income. And, strange as it may seem, most of them manage to do it. A lady once sald to a friend of mine: "I would as soon take a ticket to the poorhouse as, marry a theological student." But some of the best and brightest girls do not think so, as almost every parsonage can testify. Parish breezes will sometimes spring up and threaten to wreck one's usefulness, but if one will keep his temper and restrain his tongue, the storm will usually blow over and leave him stronger than ever in the affections of his people. 5. The supreme attraction of Christian work, however, is the opportunity which it affords for usefulness, and usefulness, of the highest kind. The merchant, the manufacturer and the farmer are all useful men. They supply the wants of the body; but our business is to transform the body into a temple of the Holy Ghost. The surgeon sets broken bones; but we heal broken hearts. The lawyer administers justice, but the Christian worker proclaims mercy. The one examines titles of real estate, while the other secures titles to mansions in the skies. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS Church D St. James A. M. E.

T. M. THEATRES The vaudeville show is snappy and breezy with an appreciable amount of class. The big picture feature "Salambo," for magnificence and superb beauty, has all others backed off the screen. Trixie Smith opens the vaudeville with a couple of lively ragtime melodies. She sings well, has good expression and is favored with much applause. The Princess Blance is the artistic dancing net on the bill. The princess is in reality a man, but his female impersonation is so natural in form, style and movements that one is loath to admit the deception until he makes a little speech. Incidently, his dancing is of the highest class. His interpretations are "Mexican Shawl Dance," "Dance of the Symbols," "Egyptian Scarf," and "The Dance or the Cobra." The act is borrowed from "big time" and is an exceptional treat. The Powers close the bill with a singing, dancing and juggling act of rare merit. The little lady scores a big hit in her character work and dancing. The male member is a juggler and balancer of distinctive talent, doing difficult, and uncommon feats. The team closes with an aerobic dance finale that is the best ever witnessed in Mr. Turpin's popular theater. "SALAMBO" The great six reel drama "Su-mambo" showing at the Booker Washington Theatre this week, establishes, first of all, in one's mind a lasting impression of grandeur and magnificence. The beautiful architecture with massive balustrades, marble halls and wonderful statuary, sublime scenery massive armies of soldiers marching on to war, brilliant costumes and costly raiment, all seem like a dream impossible to reproduce. Yet with this classic and wonderful setting the theme, or plot, is so simple that a little child can understand and enjoy it. A beautiful love story that tells of bravery, fidelity and reward runs throughout. The scene is laid in Carthage. Three conspicuous characters are inseparable in the action of the play. Salambo, daughter of Amilear, ruler of Carthage, and Priestess of Tanit, is the keeper of the Saered Vell, "on which human eyes must not gaze." Matho, a slave, who becomes the leader of a band of mercenaries, fighting for Carthage, and Spendius, Matho's faithful servant, who shares all the experiences in his leader's thrilling career. This character is played by a Negro and is minutely depicted. Salambo falls in love with Matho and the effect is so mutual that the powerful leader cannot rest with his great victories in war. He must have her. Spendius learns from the "old man of the mountains" that if they can steal the sacrel vell they will win the day, for it carries the love of Salambo and the rulership of Carthage. This they do after daring feats of bravery, strength and courage. Salambo is ordered by the priests to reclaim it, which she succeeds in doing. Matho is made a prisoner and is sentenced to die, but Spendius again saves him and finding the entrance to the Oracle of Tunit, causes this idol to proclaim Matho acceptable to the god and will some day rule Carthage. Matho and Salambo are married and the ceremony is celebrated with imposing pompness. Words cannot picture the wonderful success of this stupendous production; its brilliance must be seen to be appreciated. The play can be seen at Saturday and. Sunday matinees, beginning at 2 p. m. and nights, in connection with the vaudeville, beginning at 6 p. m. Mr. Turpin has purchased the United States' rights and will book the film THE ST.

Lilies and Children 5c ADMIS The month of February will see two master serials commence at the New Movie Theater. On Monday, February 5, the first episode of "Patria," with Beauty or Brains A photographer in New York won a prize of $500 for the photograph of a beautiful girl. Many artists have raved over the classic beauty of this girl's features, but the young lady herself has no illusions as to the power of mere beauty. "Something besides prettiness is necessary to achieve success," she said recently. "If I had my choice between being the prettiest girl in America and the most talented girl, I should unhesitatingly choose the latter." "Yes, of course she is pretty—but she's an awful flat!" resorted an honest college boy of a certain young lady who felt that good looks excused her from ary attempt at intelligent conversation. Portraits of women who, as history tells us, have ruled the world by their charm, and swayed the destinies of empires, reveal the fact that they have rarely been beautiful in the accepted sense of that term. Cleopatra, Mary of Scotland, as well as plenty of more modern charmers, have not been women whose chief appeal was to the eye. They have influenced their times through the keenness of their minds, their personal magnetism, and their power of being agreeable. Things That Are New For the same purposes as an electric medical vibrator one has been invented that is connected with a washstand spigot and operated by water power. Of English invention is a trumpet to be attached to a telephone receiver so its sounds can be magnified and heard without holding it to the ear. On one side of a new electric porch light are grooves into which figures can be slipped to make it serve as a house number either by day or night. By placing a turbine in front of an automobile a French inventor believes he utilizes the air resistance met by the car in running to increase its power. More Joy Taken From Life; Ban Placed on Mistletoe Science has 'handed another loft to the joy of living. No more will the mistletoe hang from the chandelier during the festive Christmas season for there won't be any mistletoe hang—that is there won't be any if the cold-hearted men of science have their way. The government forest experts have made a thorough survey of the mistletoe matter and have declared it a pest responsible for the loss of a great many thousands of dollars to this country annually by strangling, stunting and finally killing the trees to which it attaches itself. The mistletoe is a parasite, attaching itself to a great variety of trees, including hardwood trees of the forest, shade and fruit trees, and once it takes a hold it is very difficult to dislodge, and unless it is removed, it will eventually spread until it covers the entire tree and cause its end. While the plant is pretty, it has no value, except the sentimental role which it plays at the Christmas season, and the demand for it at this time is not great enough to check its spread to any extent. --- ing Picture Show Market St. from 1 to 11 p. m.

Navy Dies a Hero After Making Long Swim to Rejoin Colors Official dispatches have cleared up for all time the fate of Bum, the only dog ever regularly enlisted in the United States navy. They told of the heroic death of the great Newfoundland, known throughout the world where naval men meet, and for 12 years registered as a member of the crew of the United States steamship San Francisco, flagship of the mine-laying division of the United States navy. The story of the dog's death promises to become a navy classic, even as the animal's life always was an inspiration to navy men. According to the dispatches, Bum enjoyed shore leave with other members of the San Francisco's crew when that vessel put into Guantanamo-bay for practice on the Guantanamo rifle range. During the shore leave sudden orders came for the San Francisco to sail at once. "Quarters" was sounded, and within a few minutes the San Francisco, all of its crew aboard except "Bum," was steaming away from the Cuban shore. Bum, in some manner, had wandered away and failed to respond to the bugle call—the first time in his 12 years of service. Months elapsed before the San Francisco's men were able to communicate with Guantanamo bay again. They were informed Bum was there, and arrangements were being made to have him brought back to this country to rejoin his ship, when the United States gunboat Eagle sailed into Guantanamo bay. Bum was on the shore and spied the vessel when it was still three miles off shore, just dropping anchor. The dog sprang into the water and in the face of a heavy sea swam toward the boat. An hour later, exhausted and hardly able to move his paws, Bum was lifted onto the gunboat's deck. He died a minute afterward. Inventors Busily at Work Inventors are just as busy inventing as ever, according to the Popular Science Monthly. Among the most recent inventions are the following: A wrestling dummy for gymnastism practice; a life-preserver which keeps its occupant afloat and warm; an instrument which enables you to see the sounds that you sing; a periscope attachment for field-glasses; a combination Christmas tree-holder, telephony band and tabouret; a rain alarm to make the hired girl get up and close the windows; a machine that massages your pains away with air; and a mechanical telephone operator which takes down the number of a call or a message when you are out. Scientific weather prediction by man and animal instinct are being investigated at the University of Kansas. Two prairie dogs, in a cage in the basement of the university natural history museum, never fail to predict bad weather by going into their burrow and refusing to come out, even for food. Sometimes before the government weather signals are flying on a nearby university building the two dogs have disappeared into their burrows. They never yet have missed giving a correct forecast, although they live in a big room with heavy stone walls, where the temperature is approximately the same the year around. The Unborn Truth.
