A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, And The Knights And Ladies of Harmony of The World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction Ewing Bill Advanced to Engrossment Wed'esday Measure Creating School For Delinquent Colored Boys Up Which is Tulsa's Most Popular Colored Church? Ewing Bi Measure Creating Delinquent Co Bill Would Put Penal Institution on Grounds Now Owned by the Colored Agricultural and Normal University thus Bringing the Colored Youths of the Race Who are Striving for Higher Education in Direct Contact With the Criminally Inclined. There is a bill before the legislature which if enacted will establish a penal institution for Colored Boys on the same grounds of the Colored Agricultural and Normal University at Langston. The bill in question is amended house bill number 447 by Representatives Ewing of Logan county, Nesbitt of Pittsburgh county, Johnson of Okmulge county and Norten of Oklahoma county which is styled "An Act Creating a State Training School for Delinquent Negro Boys, Locating same and Providing for its Management and control, and Making an Appropriation Therefor." Section 1 of this bill reads as follows: "There is hereby established a State Training School for Negro boys, to be located on the 320-acre farm belonging to the Colored Agricultural and Normal University, near Langston, Logan county, Oklahoma." The small sum of $10,000 is appropriated by this bill for erecting and equipping or furnishing the necessary buildings and supplying necessary implements of working the farm. The 320 acres referred to is now being used by the school at Langston on which it is located, and if this law is enacted it will mean that parts of the ground will be used by the delinquent boys and the other part by the students of the Langston Universitq. No good results could possibly come from such arrangements and to pass this law would work a great injustice on the people it is intended to help. No doubt the friends of this measure mean well and are sincere in their efforts to promote the interest of the Colored people and the state at large, but they will make a mistake to pass this bill without amending it so as to locate the training school for delinquent boys at a good safe distance from the University at Langston. The Colored of Oklahoma are badly in need of such an institution and the state owes it to her citizenship as a whole to provide it; but the best Colored citizens of the state, and doubtless the best White ones, are opposed to locating it on the grounds of the Langston University and would rather not have any school for delinquents than to have it located there. The Colored people of the state are hopeful that their friends in the legislature will discover their mistake before it is too late and make the necessary amendment. The bill was advanced to engrossment in the house last Wednesday and is probably in the senate by this time. Which is Tulsa's Colored C THE TULSA STAR WILL PUT ON A SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST WHICH WILL DETERMINE THIS ALL IMPORTANT QUESTION. The people of Tulsa will soon know which is the most popular Colored church in the city is the subscription contest to be put on by the Tulsa Star can possibly determine the question. Beginning next Sunday every church in the East End will commence the struggle to prove its popularity in the community by procuring monthly, quarterly, six months or yearly subscriptions for the Star, and each subscription will represent so many votes. For instance, a one month subscription will represent 50 votes, two months, 100 votes, three months 250 votes six months 500 votes and one year 1000 votes. Each church will have voting coupons with their church and its pastors name printed thereon, and at the conclusion of the contest, which will last two months the pastors of the church winning the contest will be given a gold medal on which these The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma Williams Demands Retraction East End Garage Man Under Threats of Violence, Demands Retraction of Article Published in The Star About Him. The Star Publishes the News as it Happens, and Makes no Appology for it. There Will Be No Retraction. The editor of The Tulsa Star stands in eminent danger of being ruthlessly annihilated by J. W. Williams proprietor of the East End Garage and the Dreamland Theatre unless the Star retracts the statements which appeared in this paper last week under the head lines: "WILLIAMS PAID OFF OLD DEBT." Of course the Star will make no retraction, because so for we have been able to assertain, both before and after the publication the facts stated therein are true. The story as it appeared in the Star last week came from the lips of several people, one of whom is Barney Cleaver, the noted criminal catcher, and if it is a "damned lie" as "Slim" says it is Barney Cleaver is one of those who told it. Not only that, but the records of Justice Lee Daniels court are also false. Williams claims that there was nor car or auto concerned in the case; that it was something else, altogether. What the something else was he did not say. But according to a statement made by Justice Daniels the records of his court show that Williams was sued, as the Star stated, and, that judgment was returned against him on the 20th day of February. Tuesday February 23rd the officers visited Williams with garnishe attachment for one of his cars and would have taken the car had Williams not taken the advice of Barney Cleaver and coughed up the money, some $90.00 or more. This is the story as the Star got it. Now Williams or "Slim" as he is sometimes called, demands that the editor retract all that was said and says that the whole thing was untrue. This the editor emphatically refuses to do, all of Williams denials and threats to the contrary notwithstanding. We see no reason for offense in the publication of the article. Certainly no offense was intended. In taking offense, however, he exercised his privilege and he has his recourse at law. If the Star is guilty of any wrong doing we are willing to suffer whatever punishment the law prescribes. words will be printed: PRIZE WINNER MOST POPULAR CHURCH IN TULSA TULSA, OKLA., 1915 Each church in the contest will receive 10 per cent of the money raised, whether it wins the prize or not.

Jackson, a Barber of Long Experience has Opened a Barber College for Colored Women, Hoping to Open an Avenue of Employment for Those who Care to Learn the Trade. A barber college for colored women was opened in this city last Monday by Captain T. D. Jackson, a barber of long experience, for the benefit of colored women and girls who may desire to learn that trade to earn a livelihood. Captain Jackson is a fullfledged race man who desires to do whatever he can to give employment to the great army of unemployed girls and women of the race who can not find CAPTA1N T. D. JACKSON other vocations to their liking and when this idea was suggested to him some time ago he promised to give it consideration. "I believe this is the proper thing to do" said the Captain last Saturday, "and I have decided to make the venture. So many of our women and girls are out of employment and many of them are good deserving women who could easily make their living if they had a trade to follow. I think I shall take the Star's advice and give the women a chance." So far as we know this is the only college of its kind in the southwest for colored women. There is a similar school here for white women which is said to be turning out many graduates. Big Event Will Consume Entire Week at Muskogee Fair Grounds Where Agricultural, Industrial, Mechanical, Live Stock and Every Other Kind of Exhibits will be on Display by Afro-American People. Baby Show will be one of the Special Features of the Fair and Premiums will be Awarded to the Winner in Every Contest. What promises to be the most gigantic and successful undertaking ever attempted by the colored people of Oklahoma will have its beginning at Muskogee on the 6th day of next September when the Negro Independent State Fair Association will raise the curtain of a six days exhibition showing every feature of the race's progress and attainments in Oklahoma. Every colored person in the state is invited to prepare exhibits for the occasion and the association is putting forth every effort to arouse the proper interest. The colored people of Oklahoma are said to be the most wealthy people of the race in the United States and this wealth is represented for the most part in the agricultural and live stock industries, and for this reason it is thought the greatest interest will center around the exhibits of these products. But while this is probably true it is certain that the school room, domestic science, manual training, art work of all kinds, merchants and every other department of endeavor the Negro is engaged in (and he does a little of everything) will be represented in the exhibits. A special feature of the six days fair will be a baby show. Every mother will be an anxious that her baby win the prize and hundreds of little tots will go smiling or otherwise into the contest unmindful of the great anxiety, hope and interest of which each will form a center. Thousands of people coming from all parts of the state and many from adjoining states will visit Muskogee to see this great fair. The officers of the association are J. W. Kintz, President; A. J. Turner and W. L. Wade, Vice Presidents; G. H. Ambrose, Treasurer; D. E. Woldridge, Assistant Manager; S. T. Grimes, Secretary and General Manager. Notice to Teachers The Southeast Oklahoma Normal Institute for colored teachers will be held at McAlester, and will comprise Pittsburg, Atoka, Seminole, Hughes and other counties. It will be affiliated with Langston University and credits given. Indian Gets Job Formerly Held By Negroes Cherokee Indian of Tahlequah Succeeds Gabe Parker as Register of Treasury. WASHINGTON, March 3.—President Wilson today nominated Houston B. Teehee, of Tahlequah, Okla., to be register of the treasury to succeed Gabe Parker, who recently became commissioner of the five civilized tribes. Teehee is a Cherokee Indian, and now is attorney for that tribe in Oklahoma. He formerly was a member of the lower house of the Oklahoma legislature. Supreme Court Decides Segregation Law Void Georgia Supreme Court Declares Atlanta Ordinance Unconstitutional. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 14.—The Supreme Court of Georgia has held unconstitutional an ordinance passed by the Atlanta City Council to segregate the residences of white and Negro peersons. In its decision the court says that to prohibit members of the two races from living in the same city block was "to deny the inherent right of a person to acquire, enjoy or dispose of property, and for these reasons is violative of the due process clause of the Federal and State constitutions." The ordinance designated certain city blocks for the residence of white persons, certain ones for Negroes, and others where members of both might live.

NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE WILL MEET IN BOSTON IN AUGUST AND ALL EYES ARE WATCHING OKLAHOMA TO SEE WHAT SHOWING SHE WILL MAKE. State League in State of Lethargy While all Over the State are More or Less Inactive. Officers of State League Should Have Been Elected in February but Up to Date no Meeting has Been Called. Just what showing Oklahoma will make at the National Business League meeting at Boston in August depends upon the activity of the various local Leagues of Oklahoma and the State League, which at present appears to be resting in a state of coma. The enthusiasm aroused at the meeting of the National League at Muskogee last August seems to have died for want of nourishment. So far as we know the local League of Tulsa is the most active organization in the state, and it too is far less active than it should be. The State League is technically speaking, without officers, the term of the past years officers expired last month, and unless president Elliott see fit to call a meeting soon for the purpose of submitting his final report and electing officers, the State League will go on indefinitely in its present state until it is too late to effectually organize and make the proper showing at Boston. It is high time now that the officers the State League and all the local Lagues were busy putting forth every possible effort for the trip to Boston. Each local League should send one or two representatives to the Boston meeting and everything should be done under the supervision of the State League. Five months is a very short time to make preparation under present conditions and if Oklahoma expects to make a creditable showing at the Boston meeting there is no more time to lose. Lynched For Stealing Hogs Lynched For Stealing Hogs Two White Men Are Killed by Mob After Officers Arrest Them. CLARENDON, Ark., March 3—Sheriff Frank Milwee, after an all-day investigation, tonight confirmed the report that Jeff Mansel and H. M. Caudy, two white men, White river fishermen and pear fishers, who were arrested yesterday tor stealing hogs, had been taken from officers and shot to death late yesterday. The affair occurred in a wild and remote section and the news did not reach here until today. It is said residents of this section had been aroused to great indignation by wholesale thefts of hogs. It was alleged that some of the stolen hogs had been seen and identified at the homes of the two men. Officers arrested Mansel and Candy after a severe struggle and were taking them in a boat to a justice. While paddling up a bayou a command to stop emanated from a clump of bushes from which muzzles of shotguns and riffles poked. The officers were commanded to land and then to depart quickly, leaving the prisoners. The officers complied and a few minutes later heard several shots. They returned to find their prisoners dead. The officers saw none of the attacking party, but say there were about eight guns in sight. Sheriff Milwee says that the feeling against the dead men in the section where the crime occurred is so strong that it is impossible to secure information as to the identification of those in the mob.

THE TULSA STAR R LADIES OF FA A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of JE Late N Friends of the Tulsa HOLDS ODDS AND ENDS USEFUL RECEPTACLE FROM DIS- USED TIN BOXES. Covered With Brightly Colored Cretonne It Will Not Be Out of Place in Any Room—Suitable for Children's Use. Preserve the tin boxes that have contained marshmallows and convert them into strong and handy receptacles for odds and ends that are apt to litter up bed and living rooms. The larger ones will come in handy for holding the cherished belongings of children, for the boxes are practically indestructible. After washing the box thoroughly outside and in, a thin lining (paper or silk) can be put in if preferred, but there is no real necessity for a lining. The outside is covered with a bit of brightly colored cretonne. The bottom of the box is left bare and the cretonne is tightly stretched all around the box, held down with a good paste. The top is padded with cotton under the cretonne and should be cut a little larger than the top of the box to allow of the edges being turned over. Snip or notch this surplus material to make it lie flat and before pasting the cover to the top sew a ball button in the center, preferably a white glass button, and then paste a strip of cloth around the sides of the cover. Do not bring the material over the opening Box for Odds and Ends. of the box. If you do it will be difficult to close it. The tiny strip of tin left will never be noticed, and to leave it bare will make the box much more practical, especially for children's use. Instead of odd things lying around they will be put into it.

The centerpieces are used as an outer covering and can be laced together with a cord or ribbon passed through eyelet holes worked upon the edges of the linen. Incidentally a round cushion that may be on hand has become shabby could be made like new again by the addition of the bits of decorative linen. Square centerpieces could perform the same charitable office for a square pillow. Smaller dollies may be arranged upon linen and used as a decoration to a AIM IS ARTISTIC EFFECT Rugs and Carpets Should Be Chosen With Care and a Discriminating Taste. Vivid yellow dandelions on a green lawn—that is, a natural background with bits of color—is the artistic carpet idea that we are developing today. Carpets are becoming plainer, more to look like floors, after the European idea of tiled effects. One merchant has gone so far as to show a carpet in black and white like a marble floor. All-over carpets are coming to be the fashionable thing instead of rugs, although the large rug is so established an element of household convenience that it can be found to fit any room, whatever the size. For bed rooms the washable rug is a sanitary boon. When one is setting out to furnish a home in harmony it is well to remember that wall papers, draperies and carpets are made "to match" in color and often in design. The merchant can give valuable assistance in choosing it as he knows exactly the sort of wall papers you have in mind, or what is termed the tone of carpet.

After the dolls are inserted the linen could be further decorated with needle and thread, as the pewer preferred, the whole bordered with a machine fillet or clunk lace or a handmade crochet. Some of the latter designs are very lacy and pretty, and certainly there is no trimming that wears better. When one can make it the expense is, of course, nominal. CARE OF ARTICLES OF SILK Proper Washing Is, of All Things, the First Requisite for Their Preservation. Most women wear silk hoslery and vests, and they often wonder what they can do to save the wear on these articles. There are a few thing which can be done, among which is their care. Everyone knows that perspiration will cause anything to wear out quickly, but these frail silk garments wear out much easier than cotton or woolen cloth. Thus if each one would rinse out stockings and vests as soon as they are removed it would be found that they would wear about three times as long as they do without. It takes only a few minutes to wash these things through the hands, which avoids the rubbing which they are likely to get if they are washed with the general wash. If they are stretched they can be used again in the morning. Another thing which is important about these silk vests and stockings, especially if they are white, is the fact that if washed with other clothes they will turn yellow. In some cases people use one teaspoonful of borax in the water, and find that the clothes will remain white. Of course, when these things are being washed soft warm water and white soap should be used, which is never rubbed on the silk, but make suds and then rub between the hands. It is surprising how few pairs of stockings and undervests are required when they are cared for in this way. This is also true of white silk gloves or silk shirt waists in white. This is the reason many young women have what is usually termed "a wash out." To housewives it is strange to do washing in this way, but it is necessary to consider expenses. It is a very economical method. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Peroxide and ammonia will bleach superfluous hair, but will not destroy the growth. Keeping the fingernails well manicured is a sure cure for the habit of bitting them. When baby bumps its head, rub salt butter on the spot. It will stop swelling and keep the place from turning black and blue. If you are troubled by round shoulders hold up your chin and carry your head high and your shoulders can't bend and curve.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girl's after a "Danderine hair cleanse." Just try this—moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. Besides beautifying the hair at once, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff, cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair. But what will please you most will be after a few weeks' use when you will actually see new hair—fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair and lots of it, surely get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store and just try it. Adv.

I went on crutches for four months, then I started to use some of your Limnite, according to your direction. I was very happy and I wonderfully. I threw my crutches away.

His exhibit was awarded first prize at the Oklahoma state fair, eastern Oklahoma fair at Muskogee and the Tulsa county fair. What this ambitious little colored boy accomplished has brought him into favorable notice of the state board of agriculture. Dewey Green resides with his father on a farm near Jenks, in the lowlands of the Arkansas river, which cannot be excelled in Oklahoma for cotton. He was enrolled in the Tulsa County Boys' Cotton club early last year. When it was announced that Dewey had decided to join the club the white boys in the club were inclined to view the advent of a Negro boy with disdain. "You won't get anywhere in a contest with the white boys," was the fling one boy took at Deewey. "You all jes' wait till pickin' time and I'll show you who can grow cotton," was the rejoinder of the lad. On his one acre of cotton he made more money than did his father on forty acres of the same land adjoining. Not only was the yield unusually heavy, but in point of lint, number of bolls to the stalk and seed it outgraded anything shown in the three falls. Dewey says he accomplished what he did by following out the instructions of the department of agriculture to the letter and by refusing to seek the shade when the torrid sun of July and August took all of the "play" out of experimental farming. Dewey has enrolled in the Boys' Corn club of Tulsa county and will go in for corn this year, as the disastrous luck attending the marketing of cotton owing to the war will have a tendency to eliminate cotton from the 1915 crops in Tulsa county. If anything, the Negro farmers of Tulsa county take more interest in the efforts of the government to promote scientific farming than the whites. They attend agricultural meetings and listen with rapt attention to all that is said. Many Negro farmers are going in for wheat, oats and alfalfa who until two years ago had never raised anything but cotton and corn. All who tried wheat and oats in 1914 made money. Where they have planted alfalfa they have for the first time in their lives gone in for hog raising Maj. Robert Russia Moton, commandant of cadets at the Hampton institute, in making his appeal for the school, said: "As a result of Hampton's extension work, the Negro Organization society, a movement which grew out of Hampton institute, has succeeded in getting nearly two hundred thousand colored people in the state of Virginia during "clean-up week" last April, to clean up their premises, destroy breeding places for mosquitoes, files, etc., thereby making possible better sanitary conditions for blacks and whites "The workers at Hampton, led by its self-effacing principal, Doctor Frissell, are helping in a concrete fashion to bring peace on earth and good will toward men—black men, white men, northern men, and southern men—and helping toward a peace and good will which a very large part of the civilized world, at the present time at least, seems to have quite forgotten. This year Hongkong has exported $200,000 worth of peanuts to the United States. After hearing Frederick Douglas and Anna Dickinson speak at the first Southern Loyalist convention at Philadelphia, John Minor Botts, the famous Virginian political leader, said: "Today I ha. e heard the greatest white woman and the greatest colored orator in America. I tell you, sir, if Douglas had been a white man he would have been regarded as one of the greatest men in America." "Well, sir," was the reply of his northern listener, "we regard him as one of the greatest men in our country, even though he is a colored man." After accepting office, Douglas virtually retired from the lecture field, and whenever he appeared in public made Republican speeches. Mr. Douglas died in Washington, December 10, 1895. Charles H. Summer of Goffstown, N. H., has an old clock, which is in a soapstone case, with dots for the hours and no numerals. The case stands about fourteen inches high. The works are peculiar, having double escapement with a straight verge and will run in any position. It is more than a century old. Early Days of Lead Pencils. It is not easy nowadays to find a lead pencil that is not too old at forty, as it were. In the early days of lead pencils the produce of the Seathwaite mine was deemed so valuable that strong guards of soldiers were engaged for its protection, and a special act of parliament was passed penalizing illicit traffic in plumbago, which then realized from three to five shillings an ounce. Although the miners were stripped and carefully searched when leaving off work, says the Lon- AN CULLINGS Booker T. Washington was the principal speaker at the annual New York meeting in the interests of Hampton institute, Virginia, at Carnegie hall. Mr. Washington said: "The Hampton institute in Virginia, whose interests bring us here tonight, more than any single institution in the South has led the way for a higher and better civilization for both whites and blacks in the South, and the credit for this leadership is very largely due to the far-sighted, modest, unselfish, brave man, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, the principal of Hampton institute. "Aside from the millions of white people in the South, there are nine millions of black people. Taking the country as a whole, there are more black people in the United States than there are people in the Dominion of Canada, nearly as many as constitute the population of the whole of Mexico. We have enough Negroes in the United States to populate five of the smaller European countries, and then have two million remaining." "We can all congratulate ourselves that the United States congress refused a few days ago to enact that unjust law preventing more Negroes from coming into the United States. Such a law would have been unjust and needless." "While here and there we often have evidences of needless racial friction in the South, yet, when we consider what is going on in Europe, where the races are white, we may congratulate ourselves that in the South, where we have two races, different in color, that conditions are so peaceful and hopeful as they are, notwithstanding the wrongs that so frequently come to the surface. "The South just now is the most interesting place in which to live because there are so many changes taking place and so much work to be done." If the buildings of the school at Manassas need painting or repairing, the boys take care of it; all the children's shoes are kept in order, from a small patch to half soles and heels, by the young cobblers; the mattresses used in the dormitories are all made at the school; the washing for the entire school, as well as for the teachers, is done by the girls, as well as all the housework and cooking. In fact, there are few occasions when there is need to call in outside labor for a job of any sort. These boys and girls go back to their home towns or rural communities carrying with them the inspiration of skilled usefulness and ideals of better living, and the surrounding community is showing decided signs of this influence in most gratifying ways. The school comes also in touch with the people of the country round about through the Negro Agricultural, Educational and Industrial alliance, which meets three times a year at Manassas. This brings together the farmers, ministers, teachers and leaders of industrial work among the colored people to discuss their special problems, as well as the best cultivation of the soil, crops and stock, home building, school work, co-operation of home, school and church, and any other subject which presents itself as timely. A caterpillar's eyes can see nothing at a distance beyond two-fifths of an inch. Six women, leaders in local society, members of the Wom.n's Charitable association, acted as pall bearers at the funeral at Punxutawney, Pa., of Mrs. Martha Thomas, an aged colored washwoman. The pall bearers were Mrs. James S. Lockard, Mrs. W. E. Porter, Mrs. T. C. Redding, Mrs. W. S. Sutter, Mrs. G. L. Shicker and Mrs. T. G. Alabran. The women agreed to bury the Negress when it was found that the body would be turned over to an anatomical society, and had an undertaker prepare the body for burial. When the body was about to be removed to the cemetery, the women found they had no pall bearers. They volunteered to act and the funeral proceeded. While digging potatoes in Hope, Me., Arthur Hobart found one 12 by 15 inches in circumference, in which was a mouse nest, containing one old one and four little ones. The skin was left on the top like a trap door.

Training and efficiency, and not sex, should be the qualifications of those wishing to fill positions in life, says Dean Emilie W. McVea of Cincinnati university.

Field Is Set Aside on Which Supplies Are Grown and Stored in Readiness to Appease Hunger of Chance Visitor. In South Africa, among the natives, there is a custom which has never been mentioned by any traveler in his tales. In the Transkel, Basutoland and Bechuanaland, nearly fair-sized village has a field set aside for strangers. In a village where the king resides, usually his chief wife is told off to cultivate this field and store away all the product in the upper part of her hut, or in any adjacent village some chief woman is saddled with the work, no man of the tribe is permitted to touch any food thus stored. The king's wife, or whoever cultivates the land, takes her share of the product and makes her living out of it, but all over and above the amount actually consumed must be set aside and preserved. She may not trade with any other wife of the king. This field is known as the "Strangers' Field." Whenever a stranger comes to the village he makes known his wants to the king and he is immediately relieved. The best hut in the village is set apart for him, he eats the food of the stranger's field, and the wife of the king prepares the food for him with her own hand. He remains a week, or a month, or any reasonable length of time, and his departure is never hastened. Sometimes he stays long enough to become a members of the tribe. An amusing feature of this custom is the fact that indigent members of the tribe occasionally leave the village and go to other villages and become strangers, so that very often when a familiar face has been missed from a certain village and anyone asks where So-and-So went or what became of him, the inquirer has been gravely informed that So-and-So was poor and became a stranger. Some lazy men go around from village to village, and when they return to their original kraal they spin the yarn that they have been working in the mines! Then again one often can run across So-and-So in a distant village living on the fat of the land as a stranger and being treated to royal hospitality. There are no beggars in Africa. When a man becomes too poor to get along comfortably he makes a circuit of the adjacent villages as a stranger. Saved Victoria's Life. Lieut. Col. Gordon Wilson, who was killed at the front near Ypres recently, was, when he was a boy at Eton, instrumental in saving the life of Queen Victoria in March, 1882. When a young man named Roderick Maclean attempted to fire a pistol at the queen on the platform of Windsor station, Wilson, with his umbrella, struck up the assailant's arm, for which act he was summoned to Windsor castle and personally thanked by the queen. The boy's act gave rise to a clever pun. It was suggested that he receive a peerage, and Basil Young, the engineer, remarked that if this were done his coat-of-arms ought to be an umbrella, with the motto: "Pour la Reine." As a subaltern he rode in famous midnight steeplechase at Melton. He served with distinction in the South African war, and was an aide-de-camp of General Baden-Powell throughout the siege of Mafeking, being several times mentioned in dispatches. Activities of Women New Mexico is the only state in the Union which has no suffrage organization. Less than 10 per cent of the young women in a large city have normal bodies. Approximately 6,200 women are employed in the garment factories of Indiana. If New York state grants equal suffrage nearly 3,000,000 women will share in the franchise. Missouri has over 60,000 women workers, of whom about 10,000 live away from home. Crocodiles Live Long. Crocodiles are very interesting because they are survivals of an ancient and vanished epoch. They resemble closely some of the saurians that walked on the earth and swam in the ocean during that age of reptiles which, according to the geologists, came to an end many millions of years ago. It is probable that these creatures live longer than any other animal in the world. There is a crocodile in the embassy garden at Mutwal, in Ceylon, which is known to be 155 years old, though its age when first captured could not be ascertained. Domestic Paradise.

Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair. Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair A well-known druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant. Adv. His Turn Next.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES They Are Closely Observing Public Health Conditions. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. According to this it would seem that a medicine for the kidneys, possessing real healing and curative properties, would be a blessing to thousands. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., who prepare Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, the well-known kidney, liver and bladder remedy, claim that judging from evidence received from druggists everywhere, who are constantly in touch with their customers, and also indisputable proof in the form of grateful testimonial letters from thousands of reliable citizens, this preparation is remarkably successful in sickness caused by kidney and bladder troubles. Every interesting statement they receive regarding SwampRoot is investigated and no testimonial is published unless the party who sends it is reported of good character. They have on file many sworn statements of recoveries in the most distressing cases. They state that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot is mild and gentle in its action and its healing influence is soon noticed in most cases. Swamp-Root is purely an herbal compound and Dr. Kilmer & Co. advise all readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give it a trial. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes—50c, and $1.00. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamten, N.

ALLIES FORCE DARDANELLES "IMPREGNABLE" DEFENSE OF THE TURKS FALLS BEFORE MODERN GUNS. MOSLEM CAPITAL IS MOVED And Constantinople, the City of a Thousand Sieges. Must Once More Know the Flag of the Invader. London.—The forts at the entrance of the Dardanelles have been levelled before the attack of a combined Anglo- French fleet. The Turkish capital has been removed to Broussa, in Asia Minor, and the fall of Constantinople, over which the Star and Crescent has waved for four and a half centuries, is a matter of days and hours. The allies report only one Turkish shell hitting a ship and this killed three men. The new battleship Queen Elizabeth, one of the largest members of the British fleet, took part in the bombardment. This is the first time, it is stated, in which 15-inch naval guns have been in action. The Queen Elizabeth, a vessel of 7,500 tons has eight 15-inch guns. The admiralty statement follows: "The entrance to the Dardanelles was guarded by four principal forts, namely, Cape Helles Battery, Fort Seddul Bahr, Fort Orkhanieh Tabia and Fort Kum Kalossi Tabia, which will be described for convenience as A, B, C and D. These forts were armed as follows: "A—Two 9.2 guns. "B—Six 10.2 guns. "C—Two 9.2 guns. "D—Four 10.2 and two 5.9 guns." "The weather having improved although the wind was still from the southwest, the attack on these forts was resumed Thursday morning (February 5) at 10 o'clock. "The Queen Elizabeth, Agamemnon, Irresistible and Gaulois began by deliberately bombarding forts A. B, C and D, respectively at long range. "Fort A replied. One shell at 11,000 yards hit the Agemennon, killing three men and seriously wounding five. The Irresistible and Gaulois made excellent practice on forts C and D while the Queen Elizabeth concentrated with great accuracy on fort A, putting both of its guns out of action by about 11:30 a. m. "The Vengeance and Cornwallis then ran in under cover of long range fire and engaged fort A at close range. The reduction of fort A was completed while forts C and D opened a very slow and inaccurate fire. "The Suffern and Charlemagne next delivered an attack on forts C and D advancing to within two thousand yards of them. It was then seen that they were in no condition to offer an effective resistance. All Forts Reduced. "The Vengeance, Triumph and Albion were then ordered in to complete the reduction of the forts. All four were reduced by 5:15 p. m. "Sweeping operations, covered by a division of battleships and destroyers, were immediately begun. The enemy set fire to a village at the entrance as darkness fell. "A report also has been received of the operations of February 6. The straits had been swept up to four miles from the entrance. The Albion and Majestic, supported by the Vengeance, proceeded to the limit of the swept area and began an attack on Port Dardanus and some new batteries which had been erected on the Aslatic shore. The fire in reply was ineffective. "After being shelled from inside the straits, the enemy retired from the forts at the entrance and, during the afternoon demolishing parties were landed at Kum-Kale and Seddul Bahr (Sedd-El-Bahr) from the Vengeance and Irrisistible. "Forts A, B and C were then completely and fort D war partially demolished. "The enemy encountered in Kum-Kale were driven out over the Mender bridge, which was partially destroyed. Two new four-inch guns, concealed near the Tomb of Achilles, were also destroyed and four Nordenfeldts covering the entrance were destroyed. Our casualties on the 6th were one killed and three wounded."

THE TULSA STAR JACKSON SIR EDWARD GOSCHEN British ambassador to Germany when the war broke out, one of the foremost statesmen of England and a valuable counselor of his government. 11 SHIPS ARE LOST IN BLOCKADE AND TWO TEUTON SUBMARINES ARE MISSING. Wilson Hints at Absolute Embargo Our Exportation of Food Products to Both Sides. London.—The German blockade of the British Isles has been in effect for a week with the result that, so far as known, two Norwegian, one French and five British steamers have been sunk or torpedoed by submarines, with the surprisingly small loss of four lives. Two of these steamers—the Belridge and the Dinorah—succeeded in reaching port. On the other side of the account it is reported that two German submarines are missing and that a third had been hit and possibly sunk by a French destroyer. Besides the vessels which fell victims to the submarines, two American and one Norwegian steamer have been sunk by mines in the North Sea. It is feared one or two British steamers have been lost, as they are several days overdue. The blockade, however, has had the effect of increasing insurance rates and some neutral owners are keeping their ships in neutral waters. In addition to the loss of the merchantmen, the British admiralty has been impelled to give up hope for the armed steamer Clan MacNaughton, which had not been heard from since February 3, and which it is believed went down as did another armed merchantman, the Viknor during the storms which prevailed early in the month. Americans Demands Insistent. Washington. Great Britain has submitted to her allies, France and Russia, the proposals made by the United States government designed to end the menace to neutral commerce arising from the retaliatory measures of the European belligerents toward each other. Briefly the American proposals, which have been submitted to both England and Germany, seek the elimination by Germany of the recently prescribed war zone around Great Britain and Ireland with its dangers to neutral shipping through mines and submarine torpedoes and the adoption by all the belligerents of a definite policy with regard to the shipment of foodstuffs destined for the civilian population of their enemies. Officials, while reticent about what has been said to Germany and Great Britain in the latest complications, do not deny that the gravity of the whole situation has been made unmistakably clear. In some quarters the suggestion was made, but without confirmation from sources usually well informed, that an embargo on exports of foodstuffs from the United States to both the allies and Germany was being considered as the next step in the event of an absolute rejection of the American plan for ameliorating the situation. There is no concealment, either, of the feeling in high official quarters that if the present tension over the attitude of the belligerents continues and any American lives are proved to have been lost as a result of their activities, the Washington government may be called upon to abandon its present attitude of friendliness toward all the, warring powers. Government Wins Oil Lands. Washington.—President Taft's withdrawal of oil lands in California and Wyoming in 1909 without empowering legislation was upheld by the supreme court and entry claims of individuals and corporations valued at hundreds of millions of dollars annulled thereby. President Taft withdrew the lands as a conservation measure and on June 25, 1910, congress passed a lew ratifying his action. Oil corporations principally entered many tracts between the two dates. PUTS PRICE ON HEAD OF STARR GOV. WILLIANMS OFFERS $1000 DOLLARS REWARD FOR CAPTURE. IT IS PAYABLE DEAD OR ALIVE Famous Bandit Believed To Have Committed Long Series of Oklahoma Bank Robberies After He "Reformed" In Colorado Pen. Oklahoma City.—A reward of $1,000 for Henry Starr and other bandits taking part in the daring raid on the State Bank of Carney December 29 is offered by the state in a proclamation issued by Governor R. L. Williams. A "dead or alive" clause is included in the proclamation. This is the first reward offered by Governor Williams under the provisions of the recently passed bank robber bill empowering the chief executive to place a price on the heads of bandits, enacted by the legislature after a series of flagrant daylight robberies and successful safe-blowings had left the state agape. The price of $1,000 is the largest the governor is permitted by the bill to pay in a single case. The holdup of the Carney bank was staged December 29 and netted the robbers nearly $3,000 in cash. Early in January it was followed by several equally brazen robberies in rapid succession. The whole southwest was shocked, and the Oklahoma legislature was moved quickly to pass the hurriedly drawn bill which carried a $15,000 appropriation to be paid for the capture or death of the highwayman and safe-blowers. A robbery at Terton, in which Bob Moore, a deputy sheriff, lost his life, was the fearful climax to the series. Many Banks Were Robbed. During the interval between September 30 and January 13 thirteen banks were robbed and another, that of the Oklahoma State Bank at Preston was damaged to the extent of about $1,200, though no money was secured. Out of the number only in three cases were any of the looters caught. Bob Moore, an officer, was killed while trying to effect the capture of the robbers. Three were caught in this case. One afterwards pleaded guilty and was sentenced to thirty years in the penitentiary and another will be tried for the murder of the officer. Two were caught in the robbery of the Farmers' National Bank at Tupelo on October 6 when $800 was taken, and two were caught as being connected with the robbery of the Garber State Bank on January 13. One of these pleaded guilty and was given a sentence in the penitentiary. Following is a list of the banks robbed since September 8 to January 13: September 8, Keystone State Bank, $3,000; September 30, Kleifer Central State Bank, $6,400; October 6, Farmers' National of Tupelo, $800; October 14, Pontotoc Bank of Pontotoc, $1,100; October 20, Byars State Bank of Byars, $700; November 13, Farmers' State Bank of Glencoe, $2,400; November 20, Citizens' State Bank of Wardville, $800; December 16, Prue State Bank of Prue, $1,400; December 29, Carney State Bank of Carney, $2,853; January 4, Oklahoma State Bank of Preston, $1,200 damage, no money taken; January 5, First National Bank of Owasso, $1,500; January 12, First National Bank of Terlton, $1,800; January 12, Garber State Bank of Garber, $2,500; January 13, Vera State Bank of Vera, $1,300. Starr Noted Character. Henry Starr, the only man named in the proclamation, is a brother of the famous Pony Starr of the Porum feud and is descended from Belle Starr, the picturesque woman bandit whose name is familiar to pioneers in Oklahoma. All his life is spotted with penitentiary intervals. He was convicted of murder in the Indian Territory many years ago and went to the federal penitentiary only to be pardoned by President Theodore Roosevelt. He was confined in the Oklahoma penitentiary for robbery when the institution was located at Lansing, Kan. A parole signed by Governor C. N. Haskell gave him liberty. He was doing time in the Colorado prison for robbing a bank/at Amity in that state. His wife was formerly a school teacher in the eastern part of the state, and a very estimable woman. When Starr went to the penitentiary in Colorado he announced to the world that he had quit crime and decided to try to redeem himself. Starr was finally paroled from the penitentiary after serving several years of his term. The next heard of him, however, was in Oklahoma. Allies Proclaim German Blockade. Washington.—All commercial intercourse by sea between Germany and the outside world was declared prohibited by Great Britain and France. If this policy is enforced it will no longer be possible to ship cotton, manufactured articles and commodities hitherto of a non-contraband character from the United States to Germany directly or indirectly and from the latter country the supply of dyestuffs and other merchandise will be cut off entirely. --- CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK, UGH!

MAY BE COFFEE That Causes all the Trouble When the house is afire, it's about the same as when disease begins to show, it's no time to talk but time to act—delay is dangerous—remove the cause of the trouble at once. "For a number of years," wrote a Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet I was so fond of it, I could not give it up. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely most of the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone—my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism. "Two years ago I stopped using the coffee and began to use Postum and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest it without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats strong and regularly. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me.

BROUGHT BACK NATURAL HEALTH The Facts About an Interesting Case Of Serious Female Trouble Benefited By The Use of Cardui. Walnut Cove, N. C.-Mrs. E. A. Rothrock, of this town, says: "About two years ago I was in very bad health for three or four months. At this time I had a serious female trouble, which lasted severely for nine weeks. I got awfully weak and could scarcely go, and my doctor said I ought to be in bed. My two sisters, who had used Cardul with good results and who now use it as a tonic, recommended it highly to me, saying it is a fine medicine. I felt if I lived I must have something to help me, and as other medicines had failed to relieve me, I thought I would try Cardul, the woman's tonic. At this time I was almost skin and bones. I seemed to improve after the use of the second bottle of Cardul. The trouble stopped. I suffered less pain, and began to get back my strength and health. I took five more bottles and got back my natural state of health, also my flesh, and could do work easily. This spring I was run down in health; had over-worked myself. I took nearly three bottles of Cardul, as a tonic, and it brought me back to my natural state of health. Last week I put up 78 jars of fruit, which I could not have done before taking Cardul. I am glad I heard of it, and I hope other women will too." Your case may not be as bad as the above, but even if only a mild case, we suggest that you begin today to try Cardul, the woman's tonic.—Adv. Some men reach the top through their own shrewdness and some through the stumidity of others. IF BACK HURTS CLEAN KIDNEYS WITH SALTS Drink Lots of Water and Stop Eating Meat for a while If the Bladder Bothers You. Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table-spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases.—Adv.

LESSON TEXT-I Samuel 9:17-10:1. GOLDEN TEXT-Fear God, honor the king-I Peter 2:17. Because of the acts of Samuel the people petitioned for a king (ch. 8:5). They are told plainly what to expect if a king is set in authority (ch. 8:19). God, however, granted their petition and spoke "in the ear" of Samuel, saying, "I will send thee a man," telling him of the work which this man is to undertake (ch. 9:15, 16). I. "Samuel Saw Saul" vv. 17-21. Saul was a man to gaze at and admire (ch. 9:2). His fruitless search for his father's asses leads him to the city wherein Samuel was residing. There he is advised to consult the "man of God" about his difficulty—a good suggestion for us all. This experience (ch. 9:6-14) exhibits Samuel in a new light. The word "seer" indicates "one who sees," one who sees the things God makes manifest in dreams (Num. 24:4-16). While the word is similar to the modern term "clairvoyant" yet the latter are not the successors of these Old Testament "seers" or "prophets." They are rather the successors of the false prophets (Jer. 17:14), and of those who dealt with familiar spirits (1 Chron. 10:13-14; Isa. 8: 19-20; 2 Kings 21:1, 2, 6). Saul evidently did not know Samuel (sv. 16-18). Samuel took Saul with him for the night to take his mind off his father's asses and to prepare him to receive the word from God. Christians take far too little time to withdraw themselves and take their restless minds off the things of time and sense to be still and hear the word of God. What were a few asses to Saul, to him "for whom all that is desirable in Israel" (v. 20 R. V.)? Christians who are heirs to the heavenly kingdom ought not to set their affections on the poor possessions of earth (Col. 3:1, 2; 2 Cor. 4:18). In response to Samuel's information, Saul disclaims any greatness; indeed, is he not from one of the least of the families of one of the smallest of the tribes (v. 21). Such humility gave great promise for Saul's future usefulness. Such was the mental and spiritual attitude of the man whom God chose to be king (ch. 15:17). It was later, when pride and power had puffed him up, that the kingdom was taken away from him (ch. 15:23; 16:1; Luke 14:11; Heb. 13:1). II. "Samuel Took Saul" vv. 22-24. Saul was then led into the guest chamber and placed in the chief seat. Read our Lord's parable found in Luke 14:7-11. Samuel then bade the cook bring the thigh, which was a choice piece of meat especially reserved for those thus honored (Ezek. 24:4). Such a portion belonged to the priest (Lev. 7:32). That which did not belong upon the altar Saul was to eat (v. 24). Samuel and Saul may have had the preference and eaten before the other guests (v. 13), and Saul is made acquainted with the special honor conferred upon him. Following the feast, they return to Samuel's home, where Saul is conducted to a couch upon the flat housetop (Acts 10:9). Here Samuel had private converse with Saul (v. 25 R. V.). What that converse may have been we know not, but we are reminded of one such nocturnal conversation which gave to the world God's most precious summary of his love (John 3:1-16). Samuel poured oil upon Saul's head. Prophets, priests, kings and cleansed lepers were so anointed, a type of the anointing by the holy spirit (I Kings 19:15, 16; Lev. 8:12, 14:2, 16:18; Isa. 61:1; I John 2:26 7 V.). This act was also a symbol of entire consecration to God, and pointed forward to the coming king (Messiah, Anointed One) whom God himself would anoint (Ps. 45:7). Saul was anointed to be "a prince" and to save God's people (ch. 9:16; Acts 5:31). His ear is always open to the cry of his people. Even though they had sinned, and their sorrow was because of their own disobedience, yet God regarded their affliction (Ps. 106:43, 44). Only God's anointed ones can save (Isa. 61:1:3). Saul's selected task was to save Israel out of the hands of the Philistines (See Luke 1:69-71). God's eye sees the oppression of mankind and his ear is always open to the cry of the poor and needy; of innocent children suffering because of the sins of parents; of men defrauded of justice. But the delivering reedy will not be brought by any earthly king. Mankind is today crying for a king (sometimes it is termed "democracy") and will not have God to rule over them. Heedless of his warnings, blessed by his bounty, they struggle and scheme to heal their own hurt. Saul's humility rapidly gave place to pride and pride to ambition, ambition to oppression, and finally to an untimely end, due to disobedience When our king comes the skillfully constructed scheme of man's government, wherein graft and gudge, ambition and lust, find such a prominent place, will be set aside for a kingdom wherein justice and love, equity and service, will be meted out to every man; one wherein ideals will become realities.

Professor Weekley, in His Romance of Names, Has Dealt With the Subject in an Interesting and Instructive Manner. The study as to the origin of sur- names is •ore intricate than one who has never engaged in this di- version may suppose. The name of the present president of France, M. Poincare, appears to mean "square fist," which could hardly need a coat of arms to go with it. The greater part of our English names ending in "ing" are, according to Professor Weekley, in his Romance of Names of Anglo-Saxon origin. Among thes are Browning, Bening, Dunning Kilping, Manning and Spalding. Among Anglo-Saxon suffixes greatly changed in their spelling and pro- nunciation are bead (bold), beert (bright), cytel (kettle), god (good), heard (strong), here (army), man (man), mund (protection), roed (counsel), ric (powerful), weald (ruling), weard (guard), and wine (friends). The name Everett is from the Saxon Eoforhead which also takes the form of Everhard; Gunter was Gundhere. Redmond, the name of the great nationalist leader, is not Irish, but is from the Saxon Raedmund; neither is the name Parnell Irish. "Mand" and "Mund" were often interchanged so that from Eastmand came both Eastman and Esmond. The name of the fat knight Falstaff, comes from the Saxon Fartwulf, and Hubert, Hubbard, P. hert and Hibbert have as their ancestor rebeorth (army bright), and Rezen mund came to be Raymond. The name Cytel is connected with the Kettle or Cauldron of Norse mythology. It survives in such names as Chettle, Kettle, Chai' and Kell, whence comes the name Kelsey, the "ev" tending to confirm the opinion that the original Kelsey was an islander Many names of common folk; the plain people, have been ennobled. Proceed among these is Stewart or Stuart, which became royal with Walker, the Steward of Scotland, who married Marjorie Bruce in 1315. It stands for sty ward, where sty means pen, but is not necessarily limited to pigs. "Perhaps the most interesting group of nicknames," says Professor Weekley, "is that of which we may take Shakespeare as the type. Incidentally we should be thankful that our greatest poet bore a name so much more picturesque than Cornelia (Crow) and Racine (Root). As Bard's ley well says, it is impossible to retell all the nonsense that has been written about the name of Shakespeare—never a name in English nomenclature so simple or so certain in its origin it is exactly what it looks—Shakespeare." Dealers In T U L S A. O K L A.. ST A R STUDYING ORIGIN OF LIFE Scientists of Many Kinds Have Found This One of Most Fascinating of Problems. The search for the elixir of youth passed away with the age of fable; the search for the secret of life goes on with ever-increasing persistence. The Harvard professor who has just "surprised" a Baltimore audience with a theory on the subject, is only one of a host. For every biologist and physiologist today the problem looms large. Chemists are thinking of it. Even the physicists have it on their mind. To all of them it looks simple, and yet is enormously complex. Given such substances as oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus sulphur and what not in the innate world, how does it happen that when they come together under organic conditions life should result? Do they "get busy" on their own initiative or does a so-called "vital energy," different from physical energy, intermute to make them alive? Is it their partnership that gives rise to life, or do they already live, if with a lower order of vitality, in advance of the combination? To questions like these several sorts of scientists are trying to give answers, and they have more than one method. One is to see the thing out, the other is to reason it out. The emeraldists bring their microscopes to bear on the organic cell with keen attention to parts and workings. They insist on studying the riddle where it shows itself; they believe that where organic conditions prevail vital phenomena must appear; many of them even hold, with Schaefer, that it will be possible to "synthesize" in the laboratory. The rationalists, on the other hand, despairing of aid from the microscope, are content to find out where life comes from. And even here two schools of thought have taken the royal road. By the one it is maintained that life does not start up suddenly in the living body, but is more or less "latent" in all matter. That hypothesis is implicit in the hylozolm of the ancient Greeks: it has been expanded in modern Germany by the Nagelis and the Haeckels; it shows itself once more in the view represented by Professor Henderson at Baltimore. Then there is the cosmic theory championed by Arrhenius. His cosmogony the vital germ which started organic evolution came to us from other worlds, or from the spaces between, wafted thence to the earth by the impelling power of solar light Modern Zoology. In his presidential address before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, now printed in Science, Dr Edmund B Wilson of Columbia university discussed the more pressing problems of modern zoology. In regard to Darwinism, he said: "Undeniably there is a large measure of truth in the contention that natural selection still belongs rather to the philosophy than to the science of biology. In spite of many important experimental and critical studies on the subject Darwin's conception still remains today in the main what it was in his own time, a theory, a logical construction, based it is true on a multitude of facts, yet still awaiting adequate experimental test. Simple though the principle is, its actual effect in nature is determined by conditions that are too intricate and operate through periods too great to be duplicated in the experimental laboratory. Hence it is that even after more than fifty years of Darwinism the time has not yet come for a true estimate of Darwin's proposed solution of the great problem." An International Pig. The Anglo-American war of 1812-14, from the conclusion of which we date our centenary of peace, was due remotely to one of the most trivial incidents that could be imagined. At the Rhode Island elections in 1811—so the story goes—one constituency was lost to the Federalist party because a certain farmer arrived at the polling place too late to cast his vote. He had been delayed by the difficulty of releasing one of his pigs that had been caught in a fence. The result was that this constituency elected a pro-war candidate to the state legislature by a majority of one. The representative sent to the United States senate by this legislature was elected by a similar majority, and ultimately it was by a majority of one that congress declared war against Great Britain—Manchester Guardian. War Rations. "It was shortage of supplies that caused the Germans to retreat from the Marne," said Prof. Heinrich Siegel at the German-American chamber of commerce in New York. "I know a story to confirm that—a story, confirming, too, the German light-heartedness under difficulties. "An American correspondent said, in Paris, to a German infantryman, wounded at the Marne: "These new hairy rawhide knapsacks—do you Germans like them?" "Do we like them? the wounded German infantryman answered. 'Why, with pepper and salt and a dash of onion we just dote on them.'"—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Happy Thought. "Sir," said the bright young man, "I trust you will object to your daughter marrying me." "Why?" queried the astonished parent. "Because," explained the young student of feminine nature, "if you do, I think she will insist upon leading me to the altar. See?"

We Handle a Full Line of New and Second Hand Furniture and Stoves, Yes, We sell on Payments HAD TO BE TAUGHT FRENCH English Horses, in Service of Gallic Owners, Unable to Understand Words of Command A French writer tells a quaint story of the war. He says that the English cavalry in France found themselves in possession of a number of horses which were not found suitable for cavalry work. By arrangements with the French government they sold them off to French peasants for agricultural work. The farmers were delighted; though the horses were not adapted for cavalry work, they were better than they had been accustomed to have for farm work. But when they came to work them a difficulty arose. The horses did not understand French. When addressed with "Hue" or a "Dia!" (which is idiomatic French for "Gee up!" and "Way, whoa!") they did not budge. No doubt carters in France, as in England, have a whole vocabulary of horse talk. Apart from the starting and stopping, there are special cries which tell the horse to turn to the right or left or to take up a particular posture when it is being groomed. Even in England these carters' and grooms' words differ in different counties, but probably that would be no difficulty in the way of transferring a horse, say, from the north of England to the south. For, as the experimental psychologists tell us, animals do not really understand articulation: what they do understand is the tone in which words are spoken. This has been said even of dogs, which are much more intelligent than horses and much more attentive to the speech of man. Dog lovers, however, deny this, and say that dogs understand the spoken word in whatever tone it is uttered or however quietly. However that may be, it would not help the English horses in France, since the French tones expressing the various moods of entreaty or command differ even more from the English than does the pronunciation of the words. The horse is not the only animal to which French would be a foreign tongue. In France you call a cat not by a hissing sound. "Tsh, tsh," or "Psh, psh," as we do, but by something between a kiss and a whistle. Hence in France the vocative of "cat" is not "Puss" but "Mimi." Aeroplanes of Russian Make: Sukhomlinoff saw that a weak point in the Russian army was that too much of its equipment came from abroad—a vulnerable situation in wartime, as the present shows. So he set himself busily building up armies factories, cartridge factories, and so on within the boundaries of Russia, and at the same time established a central laboratory where new mechanisms, explosives, inventions might be tried out. He also organized—and this gives us the measure of his foresight—a first-class school of military aviation, and set the best Russian mechanics at the development and manufacture of aeroplanes, which today take the place of cavalry as "the eyes of the army." The result is that for the last four or five years Russia has been making her own aeroplanes and training a large staff of officers able to use them. Sukhomlinoff also developed an effective corps of army automobiles, for the rapid transport of men and supplies.—American Review of Reviews. The Dutch at Whitby. Whitby's last experience of naval warfare was rather curious. In June, 1636, two Dutch warships chased "a pickroon belonging to the king of Spain" into the harbor, and though in neutral water, England being at peace with both combatants, lowered their boats to board the Spanish vessel The governor of the town, Sir Hugh Cholmley, protested, but the Dutch carried out their design and captured the enemy's ship. Thus set at defiance, Sir Hugh called up the trained bands, took boats, recaptured the Spanish ship and took prisoner one of the Dutch captains. Whitby's chief fame is that from its abbey emerged the first English singer, Caedmon. He was remarkable among his fellows for his ignorance of such simple skill in the art of song as belonged to the monks of those days—Pall Mall Gazette. Another Edison Marvel When the telephone was nothing more than an experimental toy in 1870, Mr. Edison predicted that this form of communication would not be perfect until combined with the phonograph, so that telephone messages would be recorded automatically. And now, forty-five years later, when fifteen millions of conversations are carried annually over the telephone wires, Mr. Edison is ready to exhibit at the Panama-Pacific fair for the first time the telescribe a combination of the telephone and dictaphone, which will put upon a cylinder for reproduction every syllable uttered into the transmitter. A little thought will enable any one to realize what a revolution will be wrought in commercial and legal affairs when a telephone conversation can be proved beyond dispute as readily as a written document.
