Dr E W. South, of McAlester
Grand Master of Exchequer was
expelled from the Order Thursday
because of shortage in his accounts
Dr. South was elected in 1908 and was removed from office for shortage in his accounts to the tue of $2,500 in 1913. The trial committee in the Grand Lodge Thursday expelled him from the Order.
With the streets of Tulsa abloom and with decorations and hundreds of delegates here, th eighth annual Grand Lodge convened in the city convention hall Wednesday morning with every prospect for a lively convention. Very little was done during the morning session, and the afternoon session was taken up in hearing reports from the various local lodges.
The Uniform Rank, comprising 4 from Oklahoma City, Muskogee, Wagoner and McAlester, was encamped at the Midway Park on the Sand Springs car line, where they pulled off a splendid exhibition drill late Tuesday afternoon. The four companies and officers are as follows:
Christopher Columbus Co. No. 1, Oklahoma City; R. S. Holmes, captain; John Smith, first lieutenant; A. Bentlett, second lieutenant.
Bright Jewel Co. No. 2, Muskogee; W. H. Morgan, captain; Gilbert Banks first lieutenant; W. H. Waid, second lieutenant; Arthur P. Trotter, sec.
Progressive, No. 5, Wagoner, Okla.; C. J. Allen, captain; J. R. Reager, first lieutenant; Davie Davis, second lieutenant.
Starks Co., No. 3, McAlester; John tenantHorn, captain; R. B. Clark first lieutenant; R. G. Galney, second lieutenant; Wm. Jones, see.
Wednesday evening the Uniform Rank entertained a large crowd at the Association Park, almost in the heart of the city, with a public drilling exhibition and band concert.
The program at the Convention Hall Tuesday n eight did not start until a late hour, and because of the program at the Midway Park the attendance was rather small. However, those present were tilled with the spirit of the day made up in real enthusiasm what they lacked in numbers.
O. W. Gurley was introduced by Grand Master Harrison as the master of ceremonies.
Rev. C. Dearman of this city welcomed the delegates on behalf of the local lodges, and Dr. Carter of Coweta responded.
The secretary of the white commercial club, Hon. E. O. Tilburn, delivered a very eloquent and able address of welcome on behalf of the commercial club of Tulsa. He did not fail to make the delegates and visitors feel that all of Tulsa extended a hearty welcome to them, and wanted all of them to enjoy themselves while here, to the principle of one for all, and all for one," he said. "I have lived in nearly all of the larger cities in this country," said Mr. Tilburn, "and some of the larger ones across the ocean. Tulsa is not a very large city when it comes to area, or in the point of population, but it is the largest city of population, but it is the largest city I have ever seen in all my life when it comes to enterprise, pushing together and pulling together, and doing things. Look at this convention hall, a most magnificent building—the most imposing of its bkind in the state; in fact, there are only half a dozen such buildings in the United States as this convention hall, and it belongs to the citizens of Tulsa—all of the citizens of Tulsa, from the most prominent to the most humble. Look about this great city now and you will easily see that all I have said of Tulsa and her citizens are true."
Lawyer H. R. Edwards responded to Mr. Tilburn in a very able manner, waxing warm into an easy flow of eloquence as he thanked the citizens of

A very prominent woman in Oklahoma, who attended the Grand Lodge here this week. Mrs. Sauner is the wife of G. W. F. Sauner, a noted cotton buyer of Chandler, said to be one of the wealthiest men in the state.
Tulsa for the warm welcome extended the visitors and delegates.
Mayor Wooden, who could not be present to welcome the convention on behalf of the city, sen' Judge J. O. Oliphant as his proxy. In his course of welcoming the visitors to Tulsa Judge Oliphant said among other important things that the Negro race had made greater progress in the past fifty years than all the other races on the face of the earth. "Fifty years hence, if you keep on," he said, "you will be ahead of the world, and the white folks will have to take a back seat."
Attorney T. S. E. Brown, of Oklahoma City, responded to Judge Oliphant, or rather he was introduced to respond, but with fitting language he delegated his commission to the Grand Chancellor, William Harrison, of Oklahoma City, whom he introduced as t talking machine. Mr. Harrison is noted all over the country for his ability as an orator, and when he arose a storm of applause greeted him, which lasted several seconds. After a few preliminary remarks the little orator let himself out and soon captivated his audience. Frequently he was interrupted with prolonged cheering, and when he had finished both Mr. Tilburn and Judge Oliphant rushed to shake his hand, visit the commercial club rooms while

The parade Wednesday afternoon, led by Tulsa's three colored officers, mounted on horses, was a very spectacular affair. Autos were converted into temporary floats and used for the occasion. The K. of P. band from Oklahoma City furnished music for the occasion as it did also for the exhibition drill at Association ball park Wednesday night.

The U. B. F. and S. M. T. Grand Board convened in its fifth annual session here Wednesday for a two days session. About 200 delegates arrived and Tulsa has taken them in with the same outstretched hands that welcomed the K. of P. Grand Lodge delegates.
The W. B. F. and S. M. T. organizations held their meetings in the Gurley hall. G. W. P. Brown, a prominent lawyer of Muskegon, delivered a masterful address to the organizations Wednesday afternoon. The board meeting closed Thursday night with a splendid program.
Gets Ninty Days
WHITE WOMAN AND NEGRO SWEET. HEART ROUTED BY MRS. DEE GEORGE.
Ninety days in jail was the fine assessed two white women in police court for lewd conduct, and Otis Beck, the negro sweetheart of one of the women was sentenced to 45 days, when the trio was brought before Judge Clark for trial last Thursday morning. The officers had apprehended one of the white women with her Colored lover, and he accompanied by her spouse went to the home of Mrs. Dee George to reprimand her for "turning her up" to the officers. The white woman used some rough language to Mrs. George and for her trouble received a good threshing. Her lover, who was on the outside, rushed into the George home when he saw his girl getting the worst of the bout and attempted to strike Mrs. George with a brick, put was prevented by Mrs. George's sister-in-law.
It developed that the people living at 313 N. Exeter, next door to Mrs. George, Mr. and Mrs. Peryman, conducted a kind of assignation house where white women met Colored men, and Colored women met white men. The officers arested them and went to a house on North Detroit, and arested two white women and a white man. All were taken to the police station where the two white women, Virgile and Beatrice Wilson, were given 90 days and Otis Buck, the Colored lover, of one of the women 45 days, and the Perymans were fined $25 each. The white man, H. A. Straight, also got a fine of 90 days.
Fined Fifty Dollars For Lewd Conduct
Dr. B. F. Smith, a licensed physician of this city who has caused much unfavorable comment about himself because of his alleged unprofessional conduct and his unmany treatment of his wife, was arrested about 3 o'clock Thursday on N. Exeter St., in company with a woman named Morie Wright and taken to the city jail where he was held under $100 bond. The woman was released on a $10 bond. It is said that Dr. Smith's conduct with this woman has been very unbecoming. Last Monday night it is said he had a tilt with his wife because of her and that he publicly threatened his wife.

COME HOME
(By George W. Perry, former editor of the Progress.)
The letter published from Mr. White explains more clearly what we have predicted in time past concerning the robbing scheme that left so many people homeless and penniless in the United States. We will quote a few more extracts from letters of the various delegates to their friends and relatives asking for help. Note carefully the following from one of the delegates:
"Dear Wife:—Don't send me any money. I'll try ana get home some woy. I have a plan to get home and I will try and get home some time."
Oh! They are up against it now and want to come home. Where is the Where is your Moses, Mr. Delegate?
We have another letter that makes us feel good when we know we were fraud ever worked on our people.
Note carefully the following one from another delegate: "Don't send me any money; I won't be able to get it. Send me a ticket by cable so I can come home."
The above delegates relatives sent for him and we may expect to hear the story in its entirety when some of them get back. What will Lyddell do is it a fact that they are raising money to send for Sam? No, a thousand times. No! We believe they are putting the money in their pockets. One of the members of the movement said that Doctor Dorman and Doc. Garrett tried to get some land from the natives and they would not sell them any and that Dr. Dorman and Garrett had tied up the ship, and that what was giving them trouble. Hurst said he believed Sam was trying to starve them out so he could get away with the ship. It looks that way now.
Some of the delegates will be back soon and they will tell us all about it. Now they are talking about go-

as his opinion on direct examination
hat Thaw was suffering from “para:

On cross-examination he sald he did
fot know what “constitutional in.
feriority” meant but that he had used
the term which he described as being
new, because he thought it applicable.
John B. Stanchfield, chief counsel
for Thaw, contended that there had
deen testimony to show Thaw lived a
normal life in New Hampshire after
his escape from Matteawan. Doctor
Flint declared this was not inconsist-
ent with hig theory that Thaw was a
paranoiac, Answering Judge Hen-

Nellie Maxwell Tells of things new and delicious to tempt the Palate
The Lady Friends of the Tulsa Star
BLUE SERGE WALKING DRESS
One of the Parisian Designs That Has Been Received With Favor in the United States.
This walking dress is made of blue serge with a box-plaited skirt. The sleeves are long and cut to form a point at the wrist. The sleeves and the front of the waist are laced with strips of patent leather. This material also goes to make up the vest and
collar of the costume. The dress is finished off by a patent leather belt knotted in the front. A black bone necklace tends to harmonize well with the rest of the costume.
MAKE USE OF SEALING WAX
Material May Be Employed in the Construction of Many Little Knick-Knacks for the Home.
Do you know how to use sealing wax to beautify yourself and your house? No Well, it is a new art, but it is one worth mastering.
With sealing wax of various colors, some shoe buttons, a little lamp and a small metal dish or ladle you can make very attractive "enameled" buttons for your new chiffon blouse. Melt some pink and blue and green and gray wax in the ladle, without mixing them very thoroughly, and dip the buttons in. Then let them dry and you will see that you have some lovely round buttons with almost opalesque coloring.
Or suppose you want a pair of pins for a baby's frock and do not feel inclined to pay $1.50 for the blue enameled sort you desire. Buy a stick of the lovely pale-blue sealing wax and a 10-cent pair of pins at the notion counter, melt the wax carefully so that it does not scorch to a darker shade and dip in the pins. Dry—and presto! you have the enameled baby's gift you desired.
Perhaps you want a string of beads. You can make them, too, of sealing wax. You can dip wooden beads—the kind that come for children to string on stout thread—in gold sealing wax, and when they have drilled you can dip half of each bead in again, and let that dry, and then put just a little of the bead's surface in again, and so work up a bead of irregular shape, like the lovely Venetian beads of glass and gold. You can use other colors, too, with the gold, for different effects.
No, this does not mean hours of tedious eyestrain and miles of fine white stitches. Some of the newest embroidered hats are quite simple affairs. You may use braid, beads, cotton or wool. How would you like a white rattine sailor hat, with the material stretched quite tightly over a buckram frame, and then how would you like to take bright red, yellow and green wools and darn an occasional rose over the white rattine surface? The result will more than repay the few hours' work. Or how would you like a floppy peanut straw around the crown of which someone had applied large, juicy roses cut from cretonne? You can have one exactly like it, and so will every other girl of the sewing circle when they see yours!
Tassels are gaining in favor. They appear in all sorts of material, silk cotton, wool, metal, thread, etc. Sometimes but one or two will add the desired smartness to a frock, and again they are beautifully strung upon various parts of the gown.
HAT MOST IMPORTANT
HAS DISPLACED HAIR AS WOM
AN'S CROWNING GLORY.
Americans Might With Profit Follow the Lead of Their French Sisters in the Matter of Suitable Millinery.
It used to be said that woman's crowning glory was her hair. Perhaps there have been times when this was true, when luxuriant tresses were at a premium, as they were worn flowing or in braids whose length and thickness were a subject for envy, hatred and malice among those whose hair did not possess these attributes.
Nowadays, however, when we fold all the locks we own into the smallest possible compass, pin them down and restrain them with nets and combs, woman's crowning glory might more truly be said to be her hat. The old saying is still useful if it draws attention to the importance of the proper dressing of the head and emphasizes the balanced relation between gown and headgear.
We sometimes tire of hearing eternally of the superiority of French women in matters of dress. Stout champions in this country are beginning to lift their voices courageously to express their belief in the supremacy of our own women even in respect of clothes. Continuous fault-finding is as injudicious as continuous praise would be, and it is unnecessary for the improvement in the art of dressing is so great and so general in this country that our women actually begin to dream of wrestling the palm from their French cousins who have borne it for so long.
There is still one detail of the science of clothes, however, in which the French surpass us in which their supremacy is unchallenged. That is the way in which they hat themselves. There has been improvement on our side of the water in this respect also, but oh dear, there is room for a lot more. There are now fewer women who keep a veil tied around their hat, and, on going out don everything at once, running in the pins and pulling down the veil with only a pertinency glance at the mirror, or none at all.
If you are going to wear a veil at all you might as well put it on properly. There is a certain duty to society in looking as well as one can, and the moral result of making the best of yourself physically, is one whose effect, both upon yourself and upon those with whom you come in

contact it is difficult to overestimate.
Of late years there have been few veils worn in Paris; by the way. French artists have a way of making themselves heard in clothes matters, and they object strenuously to veils. The women seem to know how to keep in perfect trim without them. It is almost a pity that they have been so generally discarded, as it is a charming study to watch a Parisian adjust one. She does it with the fingers of an artist and the insight of a philosopher. The line across the face comes at the psychological point; if there is a pattern it is arranged to the best advantage. She does not allow a spot or a flower in the design to obliterate the tip of her nose or make the mouth look lopsided or obscure her eyes.

SEASONABLE DISHES.
Now that cherries are in the market,
do not fail to prepare some.
Cherry Olives. — Pit large, dark cherries,
cover with vinegar and let stand overnight. If
the vinegar is too acid,
dilute with water. Pour off the vinegar in the
morning and add equal parts of sugar to the
cherries; stir until dissolved and place in a jar covered with a cloth and a plate. They will be ready to use in two weeks. The meaty Bing cherries make the best olives.
Compote of Cherries.—To a pound of cherries use a half pound of sugar, the strained juice of a lemon. Wash the cherries and trim the stems, leaving an inch and a half on each. Put the cherries into a saucepan with the sugar and strain over the lemon juice. Put on the cover and stew gently for 15 minutes or until the cherries are cooked without being broken. Lift them carefully to a glass dish and pour the juice back into the saucepan. Boll this until thick then pour around the cherries.
Ham En Casserole.—Take one thick slice of ham, one small onion, one bay leaf, one blade of mace, four cloves, one-half a teapoonful of celery seed, one small sweet green pepper, salt, pepper and cider. Brown the ham on both sides in a hot frying pan, then lay it in the casserole; add the seasonings, the pepper and onion chopped. Pour over it enough sweet cider to all but cover the ham. Cover pan, bake slowly for two and a half or three hours. Serve with hot cider sauce.
Dorchester Custard—Scald a quart of milk in a double boiler. Mix two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar and a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt. Pour scalded milk gr. really on the mixture and cook in a double boiler ten minutes, stirring constantly. Add the yolks of three eggs, and cook three minutes. Add a few stewed prunes or figs, and finish the top with a meringue made of the whites of the eggs and powdered sugar.
There's not a wayside pool so foul with mud
But that its depths, if we gaze deep enough
Reflect the pure blue of the summer sky
And every fleecy cloud that floats overhead.
So we learn with loving eyes to look
Beneath humanity's rough outward line
Deep down into the treasures of the soul,
We shall behold, however much obscured
By turbid waves of faults and weaknesses,
The clear reflected image of its God.
SUMMER DISHES
Fresh berries with gelatin make most appetizing hot weather desserts.
Take two tablespoonfuls of gelatin, two-thirds of cupful of water, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, three cupfuls of strawberry juice. Heat the berry juice and add the gelatin, which has been soaked in water, and stir until dissolved. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and a few fresh berries; pour into individual molds to set. Serve with sugar and cream.
Any kind of cold meat may be chopped and used in an omelet, or combined with rice and tomatoes, used for a scalloped dish.
Banana Pudding.-Put three large, ripe bananas through a sieve. To this pulp add the juice of one lemon and a cupful of sugar, one half cupful of preserved peaches. Mix a cupful of bread crumbs with two cupfuls of rich milk, flavor with the rind of a lemon and add a cupful of sugar; stir in the beaten yolks of three eggs and one tablespoonful of melted butter. Add to the banana and pour into a buttered baking dish. Bake in a moderate oven until firm in the center.
Tomato Toast.-Toast thin slices of bread a delicate brown, molten with hot water and spread with softened butter; place on a platter and pour over stewed tomatoes, and top each slice with a spoonful of whipped cream.
Cocoanut Pie.-Line a deep pie tin

with a rich pastry and stand in the ice chest for half an hour. Beat one half cupful of sugar, the rind of a lemon and four eggs together; then add two cupfuls of milk. Sprinkle over the top two cupfuls of fresh grated coconut and fill the pie crust. Bake in a moderate oven for an hour.
In giving recipes to use leftovers it is almost impossible to give accurate measurements, as the leftovers vary from a tablespoonful to a cupful. If you have only a few tablespoonfuls of left-over chicken, mix it with egg and crumbs, season with salt and pepper and form into croquettes or small cakes to brown in butter. These, with a lettuce salad and bread and butter, will make a satisfying luncheon.
**Chicken Scrapple.**—Into a quart of chicken stock, boiling hot, stir one pint of cornmeal. Season to taste and cook for a half hour, then add any bits of chopped cooked chicken that are at hand and pour into a mold. Cut in neat slices and brown in hot fat for a breakfast dish.
Chicken Custard.—This is a good way to use leftover chicken. Cut off every scrap of meat from the chicken bones and put through the meat chopper. Mix the meat with equal quantities of cooked rice, season with salt and pepper and press together in a round form in the center of a baking dish. Make a custard of two eggs, one pint of milk and two tablespoonfuls of flour, moistened with milk. A few peas may be added. Pour the custard around the chicken and rice and bake until the custard is set.
Griddled Eggs.—Heat the griddle hot as for cooking cakes. Butter lightly and arrange small muffin rings on it. Drop an egg in each, after greasing them well, and turn as soon as lightly browned.
Fish Croquettes.—Take two cupfuls of cold boiled fish, two cupfuls of mashed potatoes, one tablespoonful of butter, one-half cupful of hot milk, salt and pepper, chopped parsley and a teaspoonful of minced onion. Form into balls, dip in beaten egg, roll in crumbs and fry in hot fat. Drain on brown paper.
FOR LOVERS OF CHOCOLATE.
One of the most satisfactory fudges and one that is usually creamy and smooth is: Take a half cupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, a square of chocolate, a third of a cupful of corn sirup, two cupfuls of sugar and boll to the soft ball stage. Flavor and let stand until nearly cool, then beat until creamy; pour into a buttered pan and mark off in squares.
Chocolate Caramels.—Put two and a half tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan and when melted add two cupfuls of brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls of molasses and a half cupful of milk. Bring to the boiling point and add four squares of unsweetened chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted. Let boll to the soft-ball stage, add vanilla and pour out to harden.
Chocolate Roll—Beat the yolks of five eggs until thick; add gradually, beating constantly, one-half cupful of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of cocoa. Beat the whites of the eggs and fold into the first mixture a third of an inch thick and bake in a moderate oven. Remove from the pan to a paper well sprinkled with powdered sugar. Spread with a cup of sweetened and flavored whipped cream. Trim off the edges and roll like a jelly roll. Cover with melted chocolate.
Rochester Chocolate Cake.—Cream a fourth of a cupful of butter, and a cupful of sugar gradually, beating constantly; then add two squares of melted chocolate, two eggs well beaten, half a cupful of milk, one and a third cupful of flour, mixed and sifted with three teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a half teaspoonful of salt. Beat well, add a teaspoonful of vanilla and bake in a moderate oven forty-five minutes. Cover with ice cream frosting.
Ice Cream Frosting.—Boll to a thread two cupfuls of sugar and six tablespoonfuls of water, pour the slurp gradually over two eggs beaten stiff; beat until thick, flavor with vanilla and spread over the cake.

THE NEGROES OF MUSKOGEE own more automobiles than the Colored citizens of any town in the state.
WHEN YOU HEAR anyone condemning The Star or abusing the editor (in his absence) investigate and you will find that person is not among the best people of Tulsa.
THE "BUGABOO" CRY OF NEGRO DOMINATION is an old trick of antiquated politicians, poor ignorant fools of the deepest dye. May the good Lord pity them.
HOLT DIED praying for peace. So far as he is concerned, there is peace. Death always brings peace, and though it came to him at his own bidding, it is still peace, and may it abide with him forever.
IF TULSAPUSHES FORWARD under the present administration most of us will soon forget the men responsible for it. If it retards and is pronounced a failure we will never forget them. "A hint to the wise is sufficient."
WHEN A MAN allows a cunning, designing woman to make a fool out of him it is almost useless, as a rule, for his best friends to advise him. He is like a drunken man—knows more than any one can tell him. "What foo some mortals be."
THE SOREHEAD FANATIC who is not satisfied with the prosperity of his town or any worthy enterprise of the town, who is always finding fault with the city officials, or some imaginary nuisance is a boni-fide pest and should be dealt with accordingly.
THE VISITORS to the K. of P. Grand Lodge next week are expecting to find in Tulsa the best all-round good town in the south west, and they will not be disappointed. Every citizen should take a personal interest in the visitors and see that they are properly entertained.
CONTRARY TO THE EXPECTATIONS of some and the wishes of others the editor is again at his post of duty, and The Star will continue to twinkle in the interest of right and justice.
LET NO ONE deceive themselves or allow others to deceive them concerning The Star. Remember, in spite of predictions that we would fail inside of three, six or eight months, and malicious and libelious assaults made upon us by our enemies, we are still in the business, and The Star continues to fight your cause just as it has been for more than two years.
THE SADDEST AND BITTEREST TIME in the life of the American Negro is that time each year when he is called on to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars into the treasury of a government in which he has little or no representation. Surely this is enough to arouse the spirit that empelled the "Boston Tea Party" but for the Negro's patience and forbearance.
THERE ARE A GREAT NUMBER OF NEGRO DEMOCRATS in Oklahoma who believe in the principles of true democracy and they will vote for DEMOCRATS who conform to the true principles of that party. If Negroes who vote the republican ticket and the democratic ticket alike will vote for MEN who are favorably disposed toward them as a race, the rabid loggerhead democrat and the prune-fed "Lilly White" republican would soon be consigned to a peaceful eternal oblivion and the political and economic condition of this state would advance accordingly.

NOMENCLATURE OF THE NATIVES
SINGULARLY PICTURESOUE.
Mrs. Oyster, Atlantic Ocean and Stomach Are Examples—Male Infant Christened "Mrs. Tompkins," Girl Named "Samson."
The natives of Hawaii are singularly picturesque in their choice of names, Mrs. Scissors, The Thief, The Ghost, The Fool, The Man Who Washes His Dimples, Mrs. Oyster, The Weary Lizard, The Husband of Kaneia (a male dog), The Great Kettle, The Nose, The Atlantic Ocean, The Stomach, Poor Pussy, Mrs. Turkey, The Tenth Heaven, are all names that have appeared in the city directory.
They are often careless of the gender or appropriateness of the names they take. A householder on Beretania street, Honolulu, is called The Pretty Woman (Wahine Malkal); a male infant was lately christened Mrs. Tompkins; one little girl is named Samson; another, The Man; Susan (Kukena) is a boy; so are Polly Sarah, Jane Peter and Henry Ann. A pretty little maid has been named by her fond parents The Pig Sty (Hale Pua). For some unknown reason—or for no reason at all—one boy is named The Rat Eater (Kamea Ol 1 Ole).
Reverend Doctor Coan of Hawaii possessed the love of his flock. One morning a child was presented for baptism whose name was given by the parents, Mikia; when the ceremony was finished the parents assured the doctor that they had named the baby for him.
"But my name is not Michael," said the doctor, supposing Mikia to be aimed thereat.
"We always hear your wife call you "Mikia!" answered the mother. She had mistaken Mrs. Coan's familiar "my dear" for her husband's given name.
An old servant in Doctor Wight's family, at Kohala, caused her grandchild to be baptized in church. The doctor (Kauka); that was its only name. By way of compliment to the early physicians, many children were named after their drugs, as Joseph Squills, Miss Rhubarb, The Emetic, The Doctor Who Peeps in at a Door.
Names uncomplimentary, or even disgusting, are willingly borne by their owners; others convey a pleasing and graceful sentiment. Among the latter are the Arch of Heaven (Ka Ria Lani), The River of Twilight (Ka Wia Linla), The Delicate Wreath (Ka Lei ma Lil). The name of Lilu O Kalani, the queen now in retirement, means A Lily in the Sky.—Youth's Companion.

They have been accustomed to look upon them as weeds and wild things, and so unfamiliar are they with native flowers that they fail to recognize them when they meet them outside their native haunts. A writer tells how he transplanted a stalk of goldenrod from a fence corner in the pasture to a place in his garden. It flourished luxuriantly, and sent up many stalks as high as a man's head, each crowned with a great plume of brilliant flowers.
A neighbor was attracted by the beauty of the plant, and declared it must have cost its owner some dollars. When told, however, that numbers of the same plant were flourishing behind his barn, he exclaimed: "What! You mean to tell me it's yallerweed!" And he went away with the air of one who had been imposed upon.—Country Gentleman.
Marks Historic German Spot.
Standing approximately on the exact spot where in 1414 Frederick of Hohenzollern, count of Nuremburg, with a heavy cannon partly destroyed Friesack, Germany, today rests a curiously built monument in the shape of a war piece made of log wheels, millstones and wood. The town lies on a branch of the Rhine in Prussia near Potsdam. Close to it is a large estate bearing the same name, whose fortified castle was captured by Frederick after a bitter fight against the rebellious knight Dietrich von Quitzow. It was below the place where the cannon now stands that the Quitzows were intrenched.—Popular Mechanics.
Accepted the Apology.
A young practitioner appeared before a pompous old judge, who took offense at a remark the lawyer made criticizing his decision.
"If you do not instantly apologize for that remark," said the judge, "I shall commit you for contempt of court."
"Upon recollection, your honor," instantly replied the young attorney, "I find that your honor was right and I was wrong, as your honor always is."
The judge looked dubious, but finally said he would accept the apology.
Voice of Experience.
"I'm learning to make fudge and taffy," said the prospective bride, "so that I can please my husband with some after we are wedded."
"Fudge and taffy are what the men like, responded the old married woman. "That suits 'em, whether you make it or whether you talk it, my dear."

a bout with him. During his three terms at Columbia he saw her frequently. Her people live in New York and of course they were often together. Finally when he could no longer resist Cupid's call he armed himself with a courage peculiar to desperate lovers and asked the question. Love replied to Cupid's call and on June 3, 1915, one day after he graduated, the solemn ceremony was performed which made them "two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one." He had mastered the text books of English classics, and even conquered Blackstone, but he found himself a weakling before Cupid and a beautiful woman.
Miss Carter, now Mrs. Stradford, is a graduate of the Weehawgan high school and an art school in New York. Some of her work is now on exhibition at the New York Art Exchange. Mrs. Stradford expressed herself as given them and says she hopes to soon meet more of Tulsa's citizens.

HON. C. F. STRADFORD
Graduate of Columbia University of New York, who will practice law here
Under the auspices of the local business league a reception was given Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Stradford, son and daughter-in-law of J. B. Stradford of this city, who were recently married in New York City following the graduation of Stradford from the law department of the Columbia University. The receptin was given in the Gurley hall and quite a number of Tulsa's best citizens were there to meet the newly-weds and wish them well. Young Stradford will engage in law practice here. He will rent offices somewhere down town. There are now seven Colored lawyers in Tulsa, but all of them except Stradford have offices in the East End.
Cornelius F. Stradford was born in Lawrenceburg, Ky., Sept. 3, 1891, polis and Alexandria, La., and high school at Coffeyville, Kansas. In 1908 he entered the Oberlin College, from which he graduated in 1912. He then matriculated at Columbia University in New York and took up the law. While here he was president of the "College Men's Round Table" the society which won the honors from the Howard University this year, being the only one to win from the latter institution. June 2 he graduated from Columbia with his law degree and the degree of Master of Arts. Shortly after going to New York Stradford met Miss Ada E. Carter of Weehawken, N. J., and it was then that little Dan Cupid got the best of

Health Bathe
Hiking Best Grippe Killer
The epidemic of influenza that has been troubling the city for nearly a month continued last week, according to a mortality bulletin issued yesterday by the board of health. The statement says there were 35 deaths in the city last week from this cause, or 20 more than the number for a single week of 1914.
Deputy Health Commissioner Emerson says the best way to avoid catching influenza is to walk a mile in the open air twice a day. It will add ten years to a person's life, the doctor asserts.
The number of deaths reported during the week was 1,778, compared with 1,566 in the corresponding week of 1914, the death rate increasing from 14.63 to 15.98 per 1,000 of population.
Despite the epidemic of influenza the death rate for the first 16 weeks of the year, 14.66, is .81 below the mortality for a similar period of 1914. New York Sun.
Spain Fixes Price of Flour
Spain Pixes Price of Flour.
El Imparcial, one of the leading dallies of Madrid, states this morning that the government has sold 25,000 metric tons of Argentine wheat to flour mills at 355 pesetas per ton (about $65.50 per short ton at today's exchange, $1 equaling 4.92 pesetas). Liberal credit has been given and the mills have agreed not to raise the present price of flour, which is 477 pesetas per metric ton (about $88 per short ton at today's exchange). It is noted that wheat is converted into flour at a selling price of the latter that is an increase of 34 1-3 per cent over purchase price of the former.—Consul Robertson Honey, Madrid.
O. Yes; Quite Often.
After some skillful maneuvering about to get a seat at the picture show where a post would not intrude, the Grouch settled down to at least a half hour of unobstructed view.
"At last," he told himself, "I shall get something for my money."
Then came a pleasant demand from one of the ushers: "Please move over one to make two seats for these ladies."
The grouch, being helpless, did so. Perhaps you know how it is.
Kid Raising for Gloves.
Before the war the peasants of many a little village made a living by raising kid to supply the gloves for which France has long been famous. The perfection of the skins is considered by the French manufacturers to be the keynote of the perfect glove. Their method is to have one workman handle the prepared kid from the time it is brought in until the gloves which are shaped from that kid are entirely finished.

WOMEN AND TOBACCO
MANY SMOKERS AMONG FAIR SEX
A CENTURY AGO.
Mother of Thomas Carlyle Was an Inveterate User of the Weed— Snuff Commonly Used by Pioneer Women.
"As a matter of fact, is the use of tobacco by women more common now than it was a century ago? The mother of Thomas Carlyle was an inveterate smoker, and as her habit in that regard is not spoken of as singular in any way the inference is that smoking among decent Scottish women of the peasant class was rather general," says a letter to the editor of the Boston Herald. "Whether they smoked in church or not, who knows? Their husbands did so, when they had a mind, if we may credit Sir Walter Scott. When I was quite young I saw an American woman, born about the time Washington died, fill it and join my father in a good smoke while they discussed the problems of reconstruction. She came from North Carolina, but was a native of Pennsylvania. Many of the pioneer women of western New York and the Ohio reserve took their tobacco in the form of snuff. I recall one old lady, born just a century ago, who used to go all to pieces if through some mischance she missed her regular ration of snuff. As I remember that old lady I think I should prefer making love to a girl that smoked cigarettes rather than one that took snuff—other things being equal. It is curious that the few women I have known or heard of who were habitual users of tobacco lived to the ripest kind of a ripe old age—near the century mark—with their natural forces unabated clear to the end. And they were all extremely pious.
In "The Shoemaker's Holiday" (first published in 1599 or 1600) Hodge, one of Eyre's treasurer, asks Eyre's wife, Margery, if she will "drink a pipe of tobacco." Margery answers: "Oh, fie upon it, Roger, perdy! These filthy tobacco pipes, the most slavering baubles that ever I felt. Out upon it! God bless us, men look no like men that use them." Phrynne in his "Histrio-mastix" (1633) says that it was customary to offer tobacco pipes to ladies at the theater. Tobacco was smoked by women in the time of Charles II. Jervin de Rochefort, whose "Travels in England" were published in 1672, wrote: "The supper being finished they set on the table half a dozen pipes and a packet of tobacco for smoking, which is a general custom, as well among women as men;" and he told how school children were taught to smoke by their teacher, Mary Frith, the "Roaring Girl," on whose life Middleton's comedy of that name was founded, boasted that she was the first woman in England to smoke. She was born about 1584. Her portrait printed in the 1611 edition of the comedy represents her puffing a long, stch-steamed pipe.
Despite the war, a conference is to be held to attempt to standardize time on the railways of Europe. Anyone who has traveled even a little on the continent will know how bewilderingly diverse are the railway times of different countries. Dutch and Spanish railways keep time of Greenwich, and so did those of Belgium until the "conquest," when their timetables were synchronized with the German. Our three enemy countries, together with Italy, Switzerland and Scandinavia, keep railway time just one hour ahead of us. Bulgaria and Roumania are two hours ahead, and Russia two hours and one minute. Other countries have time standards of their own, differing by half-hours and half-minutes.—London Chronicle.

LATEST NOTE ON LUSITANIA
AFFAIR DISAPPOINTMENT
TO WASHINGTON.
OFFER IMPOSSIBLE CONDITIONS
As Price of Safety To American Travelers Germans Require Report On Cargoes of All Vessels Leaving U. S. Ports.
Washington.—German's offer embodied in the reply to the United States note regarding the sinking of the Lusitania and submarine warfare, which was delivered to James W. Gerard, the American ambassador, is:
First—Reiterated assurance that American ships engaged in legitimate traffic will not be interfered with nor the lives of Americans upon neutral ships be endangered.
Second.—The German submarines will be instructed to allow American passenger ships to pass freely and safely, Germany entertaining in return the confident hope that the American government will see that these ships do not carry contraband; such ships to be provided with distinguishing marks and their arrival announced a reasonable time in advance. The same privilege is extended to a reasonable number of neutral passenger ships under the American flag and should the number of ships thus available for passenger service prove inadequate, Germany is willing to permit America to place four hostile passenger steamers under the American flag to ply between North America and Europe under the same conditions.
The outline of the German note as cabled by Ambassador Gerard is far from satisfactory to officials. With respect to the sinking of the Lusatania on which more than one hundred Americans perished, no admission of liability is made. Whether in extenuation or not, the view is expressed in the draft that when torpedoed it was not believed the Lusatania would sink as rapidly as she did. As for the future, citizens of the United States would be permitted to travel with safety on the high seas if passengers are on American ships or belligerent ships not carrying munitions of war.

The United States would be required to inform the German government of the date of the departure and character of vessels carrying Americans and guarantee that such ships had no munitions of war on board.
In this connection high officials stated that it would be an unneutral act for the United States to notify any belligerent government of the date of departure from an American port or the character of the cargo of a merchantman of another belligerent.
Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, was in communication by wireless with his government during the day and is understood to have advised the Berlin foreign office that the form in which the proposals had been made did not appear to be acceptable to the United States. He learned that the position of the Washington government is that there must first be a recognition by Germany of the principle that an unarmed and unrestoring merchantman must be visited and searched and passengers and crew removed to a place of safety before the ship is destroyed. Until there is an agreement on this principle, the American government cannot discuss any modus vivendi or temporary arrangements, it is declared. The German ambassador, it is believed, is urging his government to make a broad statement on the principles involved and reserve for later discussion arrangements concerning the separation of passengers and contraband traffic.
There are many evidences in official circles that the German controversy was again regarded as critical and that the reply as outlined was very disappointing. The concessions were referred to as a slight departure from the illegal position held by Germany and it was pointed out that the United States holding a strictly legal position was unable to make any changes or surrender any point.
London—The Italian navy has suffered its first serious loss, an Austrian submarine having successfully torpedoed the cruiser Amalfi in the narrow waters of the Adriatic. Most of the crew were saved. As an offset it is claimed a French warship has sunk a German submarine in the channel, while the British admiralty announced that it was a British submarine which torpedoed a German warship in the Baltic recently.

Frederick Birkmer, a street sweeper of New Rochelle, N. Y., "too poor to be laid up by an accident," he said,
was knocked unconscious when struck in the back in the Pelham road by a motorcycle ridden by Frank Purdy of Port Chester. Birkmer, still unconscious, was being lifted into an ambulance, when he regained his senses, struggled to his feet and staggered toward his broom.
"Can't afford to be hurt," he muttered.
Purdy and a hospital surgeon forced him into the ambulance. At the hospital his skull was found fractured. He was prepared for the operating table.
A moment later he sprang from bed, tore off the bandages, and, struggling with an interne, strove to reach a doorway.
"I must go back," he faltered.
Then he fell unconscious and died.
The London tram was not kindly received on its first appearance in the city in 1861. It aroused much the same indignation among citizens as the advent of the first motor bus. The form of rail first introduced was considered so dangerous that the tramways soon had to be removed, after one of them had been successfully indicted as a nuisance. However, they returned again in ten years, lines from Brixton to Kennington and from Whitechapel to Bow being opened in 1870. And as proof of the growth of our tram system all over the country since the 70s it may be mentioned that whereas in 1878 146,000,000 passengers were tram travelers, by 1909 the number had risen to 2,659,891,136. —London Chronicle.

There has just been issued by the Historical Publishing Company of Washington, D. C., a magnificent illustrated history of the construction and builders of the Panama Canal. The editor of this great history is Mr. Ira E. Bennett, with associate editors, John Hays Hammond, celebrated mining engineer; Capt. Philip Andrews, U. S. N.; Rupert Blue, Surg. Gen. U. S. Public Health Service; J. Hampton Moore, Pres. Atlantic Deeper Waterways Ass'n; Patrick J. Lennox, B. A., and William J. Showalter.
One of the most interesting portions of the book is that dealing with the feeding of the immense army of laborers. A few paragraphs concerning one of the foods chosen and supplied by the Commissary Department, are quoted (beginning page 428) as follows:
"Visitors to the canal who were privileged to get a glimpse of the routine inner life will recall a familiar picture of workmen going to their places of labor carrying round yellow tins.
"Often, as they went, they munched a food poured from the tin into the hand. This food, which played no inconsiderable part in 'building' the canal, was the well-known article of diet, 'GRAPE-NUTS.'
"The mention of Grape-Nuts in this connection is peculiarly pertinent. Not merely because Grape-Nuts is a food—for of course proper food was an integral part of the big enterprise—but because it is a cereal food which successfully withstood the effects of a tropical climate. This characteristic of Grape-Nuts was pretty well known and constituted a

How to Stick a Stamp.
One of the young men who assist Mr. Burleson in the conduct of the United States postal service has explained to the Sun that the gum on postage stamps, the apparent sticklessness of which has caused much irritation, and, regrettably enough, no little profanity, is in fact of excellent quality, sufficient in quantity and of a superior adhesiveness.
This authority declares that the difficulty of which numerous complaints are made arises from the fact that stickers of stamps wet the gum too much. He recommends moderation in the use of the moistening fluid, and assert that those who merely dampen the glue will find it sturdy and tenacious in the accomplishment of its purpose, while those who flood it will dissolve from its reverse side the mucilaginous coating which Mr. Burleson applies to his stamps.
In the interest of good temper and fair language Mr. Burleson's young assistant urges all patrons of the post to correct their habits, and conform to the enlightened suggestions thus unofficially set forth.

ASSASSIN,
DYNAMITER,
SUICIDE
SUCH WAS THE LAST WEEK OF THE CAREER OF HARVARD PROFESSOR.
MORGAN'S ASSAILANT
DANGEROUS LUNATIC
Tried to Blow Up the Capitol and an Ocean Liner—Identified as Erick Muenter, Wanted as a Wife-Murderer.
New York.—The dead hand of Frank Holt, assassin, bombmaker, alleged wife murderer and suicide, reached out over the Atlantic and menaced with dynamite attacks two trans-Atlantic liners with nearly 1,000 men, women and children aboard.
Somewhere on the ocean, Holt wrote his wife, the liner Saxonia or the Philadelphia—he was not sure which—would be destroyed July 7. A dynamite bomb containing thirty pounds of explosive which Holt is known to have received and which had not been accounted for is believed by the police to be the means Holt had chosen to destroy the ship.
Wireless Sends Warning
While Holt lay a suicide in his cell in Mineola, L. I., where he was taken after his attempted assassination of J. P. Morgan, the wireless crackled a warning over the Atlantic, telling of his threat to blow up a ship and the mystery of his life was cleared away with his positive identification as Erich Muenter, the alleged wife murderer, who fled Harvard in 1906.
Nothing more dramatic in the last few crowded days of Holt's life has come to light than the warning of destruction that was uncovered after his death. His confession that he placed the bomb in the capitol at Washington, his attempted assassination of J. P. Morgan, the growing belief that he was Erich Muenter, alleged murderer of his wife, culminating in his positive identification in Jeath—as Muenter, and his sensational suicide by leaping from the top of his cell to the floor formed a series of events to which the threatened destruction of the Philadelphia or the Saxonia fitted as a startling climax
The powerful wireless stations of the navy yard were enlisted in the efforts to prevent the threatened disaster at sea. In answer to the warning there were received messages from the captains of the two steamers which said that everything aboard had been identified and that all was well.
Holt lived thirty years of his life unknown to the world. Saturday, July 1, he shot J. P. Morgan twice, and at once confessed that he dynamated the senate reception room of the capitol the night before; next day his identity was associated with that Erich Muenter, Harvard professor who disappeared nine years ago, after the presumed murder of his wife during an experiment to see of the soul would leave the body like a blue lame; next day he committed suicide by fracturing his skull against the floor of his cell. Then the police found a trunk full of dynamite among his belongings, his wife received a letter telling of the bombs on the ships and Bertillon measurements verified the Muenter identification.
Holt was a dangerous lunatic, obsessed wit., an idea that he could stop the war by violent means.
AEN. HUERTA MAY BE RELEASED
If He Gives An Iron-Clad Guarantee to be Good.
Washington.—It is believed here that the case against General Huerta, charged with conspiracy to violate American neutrality by inciting a new Mexican revolution, might be availoned.
Huerta is due to appear this week before a United States commissioner for a hearing. Although officials are逮etic, persistent reports are current that there will be no prosecution and that Huerta will agree to leave the Mexican border and take up its residence somewhere in the northern part of the United States, to interfere no more in Mexican political affairs.
It was pointed out in official quarters that such a settlement would accomplish the chief end desired by the government—prevention of Huerta's return to Mexico, complicating the situation there.
New Marker on State Line
Columbus.—A real marker now designates the southeast corner of Kansas instead of the mound of stones which has marked the boundary since the state was admitted into the union. The mound was placed there in 1823 at the time of the Missouri compromise to mark the dividing line between the Osages and Cherokees. It has been respected as the boundary between Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma since that time. The change was made because of the building of a new road.

BIG INCREASE OF FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows Increase of Over 20 Millions.
Figures just compiled by the publicity branch of the provincial department show that last year, notwithstanding that quite a third of the province was affected by the drought to a very serious extent, the total value of agricultural products actually produced in the province showed an increase of over twenty million dollars over that of the previous year. Although southern Alberta had a bad year agriculturally, the province as a whole experienced a period of great prosperity, due principally to mixed farming, which is becoming more general with each succeeding year. The value of mixed farming, in fact, was never better illustrated than last year as the value of the animals slaughtered and sold alone equaled the value of the spring wheat crop, without taking into consideration the value of the butter, milk, cheese, poultry, vegetables, and other by-products of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop, 1,147,382 acres being seeded, and producing 34,397,117 bushels, or 3015 to the acre. Sold at an average of 50c per bushel, these yielded a revenue of $17,198,558. Comparatively little winter wheat was produced, the yield being a little short of one million bushels, but the spring wheat crop amounted to 15,102,083 bushels, the yield per acre being 15.26. At an average of $1.35 per bushel, the value of the spring wheat crop was therefore $20,387,812. The total production of barley was 7,847,640 bushels, which, at 55c per bushel, yielded a revenue of $4,316,202.

The statistics also show that the value of the live stock in the province at the end of the year was $110,044,630, this being an increase of $7,762,845 over the previous year. There were 609,125 horses, 750,789 swine, 501,188 sheep, 192,905 cows, 165,035 other cows, 190,923 beef cattle and 533,020 other cattle—Advertisement.
The value of candy is recognized by military authorities. The British soldiers in France are reported as consuming "prodigious quantities of sweets." A captain at the front with the British army reports that the canteen has "five times the demand for sweets that was expected, and one-fifth the demand for beer." The Australians encamped in Egypt have eaten all the chocolate to be had in Cairo.
Scientists contend the sugar has much food value and is a good substitute for alcohol. Chocolate, for example, is harmlessly stimulating. Soldiers have discovered what scientists knew before, that sugar will relieve fatigue quickly and give a sense of strength that is real without the subsequent depression experienced by those who use spirits. Sugar and candies are found to be useful not only to the physically tired, but to those who suffer mental exhaustion—Westminster Gazette.

FROG IN BABY'S STOMACH
Tadpole Grew and Waxed Fat on the Infant's Milk Diet—Child is Dead.
The eighteen-months-old child of Mrs. Harry Wolf of Chicago is dead, following an operation which disclosed conditions that many surgeons had declared to be impossible, says a Goshen (Ind.) dispatch to the Indianapolis Star. While visiting her parents in Syracuse, Kosciusko county, last summer, Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink hydrant water. Within a short time the infant became sickly and lost flesh. Treatment for indigestion was given, but it did not reach the seat of the trouble. Then an X-ray examination disclosed a black spot on the stomach, and an operation resulted in a frog weighing more than half a pound being taken from the infant.
Doctors who operated said they believed that when the child drank hydrant water in Syracuse a tadpole was taken into the stomach and that the frog developed and lived on milk, which was given the patient in large quantities. Following the operation the child improved rapidly and complete recovery was practically assured, when pneumonia developed, causing death.

Jimmy, five years old, had discovered that he could do a few turns on the swinging rings in the gymnasium of the Boys'*club, following the athletic example of his older brother. But, as all joy must end, so ended the happiness of the young swinger. His hold slipped and he landed on the floor. His brother rendered first aid.
"Did the rings hit you?" he asked.
"No," Jimmy replied between sobs, "but the floor did."

Four-year-old Donald was out on the lawn, wrestling with a somewhat older boy, and getting decidedly the worst of it. His quick wit thought out a way to avoid defeat, so he called out:
"Mamma, did you call me?"
Not receiving any reply, and being on the verge of defeat, Donald yelled desperately:

Threw Boy Away on Hampstead Health, but Was Searching for It Next Morning.
4 Hamstead Health may yet contain a precious relic of Charles Lamb. "On summer's evening" writes Hone. "I was walking on Hampstead Health with Charles Lamb, and we had talked ourselves into a philosophic contempt of our slavery to the habit of snuff taking, and with the firm resolution of never again taking a single pinch we threw our snuffboxes away from the till on which we stood, far among the turse and brambles below, and went home in triumph; I began to be very miserable, was wretched all night, to the morning I was walking on the same hill; I saw Charles Lamb below, searching among the bushes; he looked up laughing, and saying, "What you are come to look for your snuff box too." "Oh, no, said I, taking a pinch out of a paper in my selfcoat pocket, I went for a halfpenny worth to the first shop that was open."—London "brontëe"

WHAT RUSSIANS WOULD LIKE
Military Feature of Control of Dardanelles Doesn't Completely Cover Her Dreams by Good Deal.
Under the caption, "Russia's Dreams," Harper's Weekly says: "To the Slavic mind the fall of Constantinople will be the greatest military event in centuries."
Certainly, but the military feature of control of the Dardanelles doesn't completely cover Russia's dream by a good deal.
Dream of a country whose population has increased 90 per cent in 40 years, whose resources in human necessities, such as fuel, food and building material, are hardly approached by any other country on earth—dream of such a country getting a fair chance to compete for the world's trade, and you are getting somewhere near the size of the Russian dream. Hundreds of thousands of acres of finest timber in one forest alone; unlimited oil spouting from mere pricking of the earth's crust; vast deposits of all sorts of minerals that have hardly been scratched; already leading the world in production of cereals; labor at oriental prices; an army of 10,000,000 fighters who fight merely because or dered to do so.
Do you dream of great Russian commercial fleets sailing the Mediterranean in continuous procession? May be the English, so-called "the nation of traders," are dreaming such things. Maybe the next mighty struggle will be between the two great allies whose gunboats now have designs on the op-

CLOGGED UP BY SEDIMENT
Flow of Water in City Mains Restricted by Sedimentation and Incrustation Taking Place Within.
It has only recently been observed that the efficiency of the flow of water in a city's main is very much restricted by the sedimentation which takes place in them. Because of the slowness with which these deposits occur, it is not readily noticeable, but the difference is quickly discernible by making note of the character of the stream tissue them from before and after cleaning. In the case of an eight-inch main in Camden, N. J., the capacity was found to have been cut down to less than one-quarter. Another illustration may be derived from the experience of Belle Plaine, Ia. Here a cast iron water pipe nearly a mile long and six inches in diameter had a capacity when clean of 335 gallons a minute, with a pressure of 60 pounds. This pipe became so clogged that a pressure of 125 pounds was necessary in order to deliver 248 gallons a minute. There are several mechanical means of accomplishing this task. One consists of a nine-foot device which is placed in the pipe and sent along by pressure behind it, and as it moves the deposit is cut by the many revolving knives of which it is made. A flow of water is maintained and the released material is washed away as it is detached.

HARMONY NEEDS TO BE HOME
Ifness and Disturbed Surveys Are to
Sure Result If It Is Loading
There.
The imperative need of harmony it serve surroundings as well as in business life is being fast by thinking more every day. It is impossible to so our best work in any atmosphere of confusion, and it is an almost invariable rule that, illness and disturbable nerves are the penalty exacted if we allow ourselves to be drawn in to conditions that do not spell harm. Our home is our castle, and nothing should be allowed to enter there, that makes us unhappy.
If one is obliged to take strangers into the home on account of financial consideration it is wise to make sure that they are not antagonistic in any way that will affect the family relations, otherwise it is better to give up the extra profit and do with less if it means peace of mind. There is no price too great to pay for harmony for it means health, happiness, financial success to you and yours, the ability to help others, and all through the gaining and holding the mental noise which is the peace of understanding. Some of us have to be beat on with many stripes before we rose like the head of and grasp the nose of harmony, but those who have already felt a longing for it and pain to listen will get the respiration in its possession like honeysuckle.
