BROTHERHOODS AGREE TO CONTEND ONLY FOR NECESSITIES FOR WELFARE. GIVE ASSURANCE TO WILSON Four Chiefs in Conference With President Say Transportation Not to Be Interrupted Dur Washington, Nov. 23. — President Wilson in a statement declared that the railroad brotherhood representatives had agreed at a two-hour conference at the White House to stand practically by the government and to consider any proposed solution "in a spirit of accommodation" and were not inclined to contend for anything which they did not consider necessary for their welfare. Shortly before the brotherhood chiefs in a statement announced that any suspension of transportation would be avoided, and declared their willingness to discuss and consider any suggested solutions of the difficulties. Statement of Brotherhoods. The statement of the brotherhoods, signed by the four chairmen, Messrs. Stone, Lee, Carter and Garretson, follows: "The men who comprise the railway brotherhoods are thorough Americans, therefore they believe in American standards of living and in consequence of this realize that standards of pay that were established in 1912 and 1913 are inadequate to meet present day prices for commodities and for that reason are demanding an increase in present rates that will meet half at least of the increase in cost of those things which they are compelled to purchase. "They want to co-operate in every way possible in successful prosecution of the war and they fully realize that the most serious thing that could occur during the conduct of the war would be any interruption of railway transportation and they in common with the great body of the people are determined to do everything within the bounds of reason to avoid such interruption. "Being fully conversant with their attitude and desire in this matter, we are in a position to give the assurance that if a situation should arise which threatens interruption of transportation men whom we represent would be more than willing to discuss and consider any solution of the difficulty which presented itself, doing so in the spirit of patriotic co-operation, and would undoubtedly co-operate with the government to the utmost extent in arriving at a just, equitable, as well as patriotic, conclusion." President Makes Statement. Later President Wilson issued this statement: In addition to the statement given out by the heads of the railway brotherhoods, the President authorized the representatives of the press to say that he had got from the interview exactly the impression conveyed by the statement of the heads of the brotherhoods." "PHOSPHOROUS" GANGS ARE FIRING ELEVATORS Grain Firm Auditor Says Destruction is Due to Plots. Mobridge, S. D., Nov. 23.—The traveling auditor of a grain company declared here that an average of four elevators a day are being destroyed by fire in the Dakotas and Minnesota. The fires, he said, were traceable to various "phosphorous" gangs. Two fires in Lemmon were extinguished without serious damage. One was found under coal sheds of the Western Lumber Company, and the other in a brewery warehouse. Armed vigilantes continue to guard Lemmon. Police failed to gather information of supposed incindiarism from the few persons questioned. Two men reported to have left the vicinity after the fire, were traced to Reeder, North Dakota, where their trail was lost. English Girls Insist on Tobacco. London, Nov. 23—"Well, of all the cheek!" This is the popular comment by girl smokers on the suggestion of the tobacco controller that they give up smoking in view of the serious shortage of tobacco in this country. Smoking by English women and girls has increased to an enormous extent since the war began, and they resent the suggestion that they do all the giving up. THE TWIN CITY STAR. SINGLE COPIES 5 CTS.

TRANSPORTS RUN TO SAFETY AMERICAN TROOP SHIPS ATTACK ED BY SUBMARINES, ESCAPE. Two Ships in Collision Crossing the Ocean—Both Reach French A French Port, Nov. 23.—The latest American transports to reach here made an exciting trip through the submarine zone. The first night in the zone two transports collided. One was slightly damaged, while the other had a small hole torn in her bow and a few projecting guns damaged. Temporary repairs were made and the ships proceeded. Attacked by Submarines. The following night a submarine attacked the transports. The wake of a torpedo was seen off the bow of one of the vessels, but no conning tower or periscope was visible. The transports raced ahead and succeeded in reaching port safely, where the collision damage was repaired. GERMAN CONFESSES HE PUT BOMB IN THEATER Chicago Teuton Admits He Imperilled Lices of Opera Goers. Chicago, Nov. 23. — Reinhold A. Faust, a German-American, 52 years old, and for about 35 years a resident of Chicago, planted the bomb in the Auditorium theater a few nights ago which threatened death and injury to the large opera audience. Faust lives with his wife and two grown children. After his arrest he confessed to police and federal officials. He also admitted having written letters to James B. Forgan and Frank O. Wetmore, both executive heads of the First National bank, demanding they surrender $100,000 to him. ALLIES HOPE TO RID ITALY OF TEUTONS THIS WINTER Efforts to Be Concentrated There, Says French Premier in Statement. Washington, Nov. 23.—The Allies will attempt to drive Austro-Germans from Italy this winter, according to the interpretation placed on official Rome cables which reported Premier Clemenceau of France as saying: "The winter campaign of the Allies will be carried on in Italy." Clemenceau's prediction was received with enthusiasm, the messages said. The resistance on the entire line from the Trentino to the Adriatic has restored the confidence of the Italian people, the dispatches said. U. S. Soldier Held as Spy. Denver, Nov. 23—Max Linder, escaped from a German interned ship, who took out naturalization papers in Wichita, Kan., and enlisted as a baker in the United States army, has been arrested at Fort Logan as a spy. Prominent local Germans are reported implicated in Linder's espionage activities. * GREECE ABOUT READY * TO STRIKE BLOW IN WAR * Washington, Nov. 233.—Greece * * is rapidly preparing to take her * * part in the war.

ITALIANS IMBUED WITH NEW COURAGE FAR OUTNUMBERED THEY ROUT ENEMY AT POINT OF BAYO-NET IN FIERCE FIGHT. CASES OF HEROISM SHOWN Teutons Succeed in Breaking Through in North at But One Place—Bloody Fighting Marks Battle. Headquarters of the Italian Army in Northern Italy, Nov. 23.—The fourth Italian army under General Robilant is meeting the full force of the tremendous shock the enemy has concentrated between the Plave and Breta rivers. In authoritative quarters the correspondent was told that the enemy forces delivering this blow are in the proportion of three to two as compared with the Italian forces, and is virtually the relative strength on the two wings west of the Breta where General Pecoril commands the first Italian army and the right wing along the Plave, where the Duke of Aosta holds the enemy as in a vise. Line Broken at One Point. In this position the Italian army is experiencing attacks in rapid succession. Reports early were satisfactory, as the main fighting ground was farther north, on the enemy's positions, though at one point the enemy succeeded in breaking through the Italian lines on the foothills of Monte Fana Secca, compelling the reformation of the defensive lines farther back. These fluctuations are marked by the bloodiest fighting with the enemy rerseves coming forward for three successive attacks, which were met at the point of the bayonet and driven back, except for one push down the covoted valley. It has seemed as if the Italians were suddenly imbued with ten-fold courage to save their country, and individual cases of bravery stand out amid the general heroism. At one point a contingent of 30 Italians left a shelter and hewed their way through the lines, bringing back 27 prisoners. The whole range of this fighting ground presented a scene of frigid desolation, showing the rigors of the winter campaign now in full operation. Snow lay six inches deep along the slope and drifted in places to a depth of five feet. Just west of the main field of action, the Italian first army rushed the enemy positions near the Breta river and in two attacks and counter attacks held the occupied ground which was strewn with enemy corpses. BRAZILIANS UNEARTH U-BOAT BASE SCHEME All Navigation Lights Along Coast Shut Off as Preventative. Rio Janeiro, Nov. 23.—A resident of Rio Janeiro, well known in Brazilian society, has been arrested for photographing sections of the coast, especially near German colonies. A search of his house revealed extensive plans for operation and subsistence of submarines in Brazilian waters. The authorities are of opinion that it is the intention to operate German submarines along the Brazilian coast. As a result, all navigation lights along the coast have been shut off and vessels are navigating without lights. MARCHING OF JAP ARMY THROUGH RUSISA IS SEEN Sending of 5,000,000 Fighters Advocated by Teklo Newspaper—Slavs Would Have To Pay. Washington, Nov. 23.—Marching of a Japanese army of 5,000,000 to Europe through Siligria, emulating the feat of Genghis Khan, who invaded Europe through Asia in the Thirteenth century, is advocated by the Teklo Mainichi, in the event Japan decides to mobilize in Europe. The paper quoted a dispatch from Petrograd saying, General Alexieff, former chief of the Russian general staff, believes Japan will mobilize and Japan's compensation will have to be paid by Russia. Awarded $200,000 in Labor Suit. Fort Smith, Ark., Nov. 23.—The jury in the suit of Dache-Denman syndicate against the International Mine Workers and others, returned a verdict in the federal court awarding plaintiffs damages in the sum of $200,000. Under the Sherman act plaintiffs are entitled to three times this amount, or $600,000.

Dispatch Says Belgian Relief Snips And Neutrals Are Giyen Week's Notice. Amsterdam, Nov. 23.—Extension of the German "barred zone" for shipping to include the Azores and Greek waters is announced in a Berlin dispatch received here. The statement described the Azores as "containing important hostile bases for Atlantic navigation." Belgian relief ships and neutrals were allowed one week in which to withdraw from the new barred zone. United Press dispatches received last week from Buenos Aires reported dispatches from Spain that the United States was "fortifying" (the Azores. Washington), in denying the report, said there was only the usual activity in connection with naval operations there. The Azores are Portuguese. Several cable lines center there. U. S. WAGE ADJUSTMENT BOARD MAY BE FORMED May Be Outcome of Conferences Between President Wilson and Officials of Brotherhood. Washington, Nov. 23.—Creation of a federal railroad wage adjustment commission may be the result of President Wilson's conference here with officials of the railroad brotherhoods over wage demands of the organized railroad workers of the country. Officials of the brotherhoods, conductors, trainmen, firemen and engineers are in Washington to lay their case before the president. They have already agreed to submit to any method of settling their grievances that the president may determine. RUSSIA TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE U. S. SUPPLIES Provisions Are Now Moving And Are Not To Be Halted, War Trade Board Announces. Washington, Nov. 23.—Supplies are now moving to Russia and will not be halted, the war trade board officially announces. With the war board's statement of the government's change in attitude toward Russian supplies came a significant change of sentiment at the Russian embassy' here. Lenine and Tratsky, leaders of the revolt were pictured by embassy officials not as German-inspired reactionaries, but as sincere, patriotic and well meaning visionaries. KAISER GIVES HIS O. K. TO PRUSSIAN REFORMS Approves Bills For Changes In Suffrage and Parliament Composition. Amsterdam, Nov. 23.—A dispatch from Berlin says Emperor William has approved bills for Prussian suffrage reform and for changes in the composition of the upper house of parliament. The dispatch adds that the bills will soon be introduced in the diet. Japs Want More Active Part. Tokio, Nov. 23.—A resolution urging Japan take a more active part in the war by closer co-operation with the Allies, was adopted at a meeting in Osaka of the party known as the Seiyukai, which supports the present government. TWENTY TOWNS TAKEN FROM FOE TWENTY TOWNS TAKEN FROM FOE 333—Nightingale Nov 22 FOUR—A BRITISH FOLLOW UP BRILIANT STROKE AGAINST HINDENBURG LINE WITH MORE GAINS. CAMBRAI IN RANGE OF GUNS Important German Supply Base Menaced—Ridge Commanding City Taken—Score of Towns Fall —England Jubilant. News dispatches from London indicate that everything has not been told of the extent of the British victory. Cavalry is reported in action in large numbers while some reports declare that British forces have pushed northward from Cranlounc behind the broken wing of the Hindenburg line potentially imperiling the railroads of the Germans who were entrenched between the Bapaume-Cambral road and the Scarpe river, opposite Arras. London, Nov. 23.—Triumphant in their brilliant stroke against the Hindenburg line, British troops are pushing on Cambria, now only two and three-quarters miles away. They have captured the village of Fontaine Notre Dame in their new offensive, the war office announces. This town is southwest of Cambrai and commands the city from a high ridge. Great Holes in Defenses. Great Holes in Derehes. In two days General Byng's army has gained almost as much ground as in the first four months of the Somme battle. As it was unlike any previous operation on the Western front so was the success of General Byng's smash. Without artillery preparation and with only tanks to cut wire entanglements British cavalry is now taking part in the drive toward Cambral and the Belgian border beyond. Surprised by the suddenness of the thrust Tuesday the Germans fought back Wednesday, but, the British pushed steadily toward the immediate goal. Capture Towns And Villages. Nearly a score of towns and villages have been taken and more than 8,000 prisoners have been captured. The Germans have been driven from the high ground west, southwest and south of Cambral. This city, formerly German main headquarters in the west and one of the main links in the German supply system, is at the mercy of British artillery. While British troops attacked on a front of 32 miles between St. Quentin and the Scarpe, their main effort was on a 15-mile front west and southwest of Cambral, where an advance of more than five miles has been made. May Be War Turning Point. May Be War Turning Point. In England the victory of General Byng is hailed as the greatest on the Western front and it is looked upon as forerunner of still greater achievements against the supposed impregnable Hindeburg line. New tactics of the British apparently overwhelmed the Germans and In the view of military critics hold out great possibilities for the future, especially as to its efficacy without the usual preliminary artillery fire. Effect on Italy Drive Unknown. What effect the British drive will have on the Austro-German invasion of Italy is not yet apparent, but Italians are holding tenaciously to their positions and the invaders have not been able to make a marked gain in two days. Around Asiago Italians have repulsed strong attacks, while on the important sector between the Brenta and the Plave the Austro-Germans have eased their attacks, apparently worn out by fruitless efforts against Monte Tomba and nearby defenses. The Plave line is still unbroken. French Also Gain. French troops have carried out a successful attack on a front of two thirds of a mile between Granonne and Berry Auc Bac. German defenses were captured and 175 prisoners fell into French hands. British Near Jerusalem. In Palestine General Allenby's force in within five miles of Jerusalem on the northwest and six miles on the west. It is not yet clear whether the Turks intend to defend Jerusalem, but if they should do so the defending force seemingly is in great danger of being cut off from the north and northwest. Allen Enemies Poison Sheep. Salt Lake City, Nov. 23.—That alien enecles are at work in Utah destroying sheep by poison is the belief expressed by Dr. R. W. Hoggan of the State Livestock commission, upon receipt of information that 50 head of sheep had been poisoned at Delta. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY SEES [FALL OF BALESHEVIK] DR. SOSKICE, CONFIDENTIAL SECRETARY TO KERENSKY, TALKS. Says Support Was Won by False Promises and Control Cannot Last Long. Stockholm, Nov. 23. — "No matter how dark the situation in Russia is today—and it is dark indeed—it must not be forgotten that Russia is a country of unlimited possibilities," said Dr. Soskice, confidential secretary to A. F. Kerensky, the deposed Russian premier, and his right hand man, to the Associated Press correspondent. "The Bolshevik were in control of Petrograd and many other places when I left the capital on Friday," continued Dr. Soskice, "but they cannot maintain power. I consider four weeks the utmost length of time they can last. They have no support except that which they have won by false promises. They are today saying to their adherents: 'We have given you peace and land, the decree issued on Friday declaring all the factories and workshops now the property of the workmen." The future government, Dr. Soskice believes, will be a homogeneous, all socialistic government. Won't Conclude Peace. In regard to whether the future government in Russia would be forced to conclude peace, Dr. Soskice expressed the opinion that this would not be the case. "But," he continued, "the future government will have a some of the planks of its platform a demand that the Allies again state their war aims and thus cut the ground from under the feet of the German militarists. Before the present trouble began the government had worked out a scheme for forming a volunteer army. The next government will have the cordial help of Great Britain and America. This army probably will not be capable of great offensive action, but it will suffice for defensive purposes." Plot to Poison Hog Shipments. Austin, Texas, Nov. 23.—State authorities declare that the mysterious poisoning of hogs during shipment in Texas has reached an alarming stage. Reports received by State Food and Drug Commissioner R. H. Hoffman, Jr., have caused deep concern and that department has started an analysis of the contents of the stomachs of a number of poisoned anomals. A poison plot is suspected. THE WEATHER.

What Thanksgiving Means to the Boys in Our Of course there will be a "real feed," with turkey and everything, wherever it's possible on land or sea. And at the naval training stations there will be special doings to help the lonely lads forget to be homesick By RHYS G. THACKWELL More than 500 years ago John Alden and his little band of Puritan followers in New England passed a terrific year of fame and skiliness that nearly elapsed the full span of his life. Health conditions improved. Clearing were enlarged. The drouth broke. Good crops were raised. A bountiful harvest was realized. A bountiful Pilgrims turned their thoughts to God. Their hearts welled in gratefulness. They appointed a day for public Thanksgiving. Every year since, when the United States have observed Thanksgiving day—since 1865 on the last Thursday in November. The following article concerning the observance of the day in the many years was prepared by a direct descendant of John Alden. AR from their homes, perhaps for the first time in their young lives, many thousands of young American sailors will forget on Thanksgiving day all of the serious business of war. Thoughts will be of home. It will be a day of meditation for the men of the great fleets which are aiding the allied nations in exterminating Prussianism from the earth. It will be America's first AR from their homes, perhaps for the first time in their young lives many thousands of young American sailors will forget on Thanksgiving day all of the serious business of war. Thoughts will be of home. It will be a day of meditation for the men of the great fleets which are aiding the allied nations in exterminating Prussianism from the earth. It will be America's first Thanksgiving in this great world war. At the training stations, on the ships which patrol the coast lines, in the submarines which move about a hundred feet below the surface of the water, and on the great battleships on the high seas Thanksgiving day is to be observed as it never before has been by the boys and men who are dedicating their lives to America's cause. It will not be merely a day of sensuous pleasures, of stuffing oneself with foods to please the taste; rather it will be a day of mental inspiration, of a spiritual gratification, of thoughts of home and those who are dear. In a general way the stories of how Thanksgiving is observed in the two branches of the American fighting forces do not differ. Soldiers who are yet in this country will perhaps be given furloughs so that they can be with their families or other relatives on Thanksgiving day. Sailors and marines who are detailed to the training stations may be invited out for the day or they may gather in the big mess halls for a program. But the lads who are far away from their loved ones, those who are on the high seas, will experience a feeling entirely new to them. And it is going to have a tremendously important influence, too. Perhaps you have wondered some time or other why the tight-fitting blouse, the black handkerchief, and his saucy little white cap seem to give the jackie a more youthful appearance than the khaki or olive drab do to the soldier. It is not a deception resulting from a marked difference in the uniforms. Rather this apparent boyish appearance of the jackies in comparison with the soldiers is a reality. The jackies are just boys—the brightest youth of America, who, before they have attained their manhood, are offering their lives to make this country secure from Prussianism and to establish peace throughout the world. A spirit of youth permeates the United States navy—an atmosphere which perhaps is not to be found in the army. Most of the boys, who are being trained to man the battleships, and the majority of those who already have met the German fleet in sea battles, are scarcely out of their teens. There is a fascination for the sea, for the experience of moving about on the waters and being constantly in danger of attack from beneath the sea or by hostile ships—a something which holds a peculiar charm for American youth. And so it is that the American navy is composed of a great host of young men—youth who seek adventure, those who are eager to avenge the terrible atrocities wrought by Germany. Months have passed since many of these young jackies, transformed in an incredibly short time from schoolboys to fighting men-o-wars-men, left their mothers and their fathers to join other youths in protecting our country from the ravages of a barbarian foe. Their activities have been so strenuous that few have had the time or the inclination to meditate about their homes. But all of these boys have been separated from their own people long enough to give them a sincere longing to visit again hometown and to see mother. Men of the army are better able to combat a feeling of homesickness than the jackies can because the soldiers have come, as a general rule, from the offices, from the cares of business, from colleges, and from situations which have, in their very nature, separated the men, more or less, from their family interests. Should this statement sound exaggerated and false let me amend it somewhat. The soldiers probably are more accustomed to absence from home than are the sailor boys, most of whom came directly from the influence of their mothers and who are all by themselves for the first time in their careers, confronting some of the bigger problems of life. And so it is that this Thanksgiving the many thousands of American boys who are fighting in the first line of defense are going to experience a great mental awakening—a spiritual change, which might not have come to them under normal conditions until they were much older in years and experience. It will be perhaps their first Thanksgiving day on which they have actually taken the time to meditate over the blessings for which they should give thanks. The boys probably have not previously had occasion to appreciate the home influence. They will rejoice in the knowledge that the United States now has a navy which measures up to the best in the world. They will be glad because they THE TWIN CITY STAR, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Means to in Our Navy Navy THE SCHOOL --- know that this country is aiding the allied nations in exterminating so-called "kultur" and in establishing peace on earth for centuries at least. The boys will give thanks because they have been privileged to give their services, their money for Liberty bonds and their lives, if necessary, to bring to a close this worst struggle of all the ages. At the naval stations elaborate programs have been prepared. Mrs. William A. Moffett, wife of the commandant of Great Lakes naval training station, early conceived the idea of giving a big Thanksgiving dinner to the 20,000 boys now training there. Actuated by her splendid mother spirit, Mrs. Moffett confided her wish to some of her friends. "Can't we do something to bring home a little closer to the boys for just one day?" Mrs. Moffett asked. "Many of the young boys actually need to pass Thanksgiving in a real home—they have been separated from their own people so long that their hearts are calling out for a glimpse into a home where there is a mother, father, some noisy children and home-cooked food." Mrs. Moffett's idea quickly became popular. A committee was formed to secure the boys who were to accept the scores of invitations from Chicagoans and other hospitable people along the north shore of Lake Michigan who showed a desire to entertain the jackies on Thanksgiving day. Chaplain Charles W. Moore lent his aid in selecting the boys for the invitations. More than 1,000 young men were granted liberty to visit the homes where they are guests of honor for a real Thanks- Rome in the days of Augustus was a city of more than 1,000,000 persons, and it did not have a single hospital. The city was built mainly of brick, with narrow, tortuous streets. But it had some broad and well-paved thoroughfares, the fashionable avenue being the famous Appian way, which was the metropolitan terminus, so to speak, of one of the great military roads that radiated from Rome as a center to all parts of the empire. The houses of the rich, and even those of the fairly well-to-do, were supplied with running water. No modern system of aqueducts surpassed that of ancient Rome, and the water was distributed to dwellings by underground pipes that furnished the fluid through lead pipe connections to tanks elevated on pillars at regular intervals along the street. From these tanks lead pipes carried the water to the houses on either side, which were provided with faucets and basins like our houses of today. This in itself is a very interesting fact, because even two centuries ago there was no such adequate system of water supply for cities anywhere in the civilized world. In respect of this important item of civilization, the destruction of Rome by war put the world back about 1,800 years. When Julius Caesar first visited Alexandria in Egypt, the occasion on which he was captured by the Greek charms of Cleopatra, he found there so complete an underground water-supply system that the city seemed "hollow underneath." The aqueducts of ancient Rome, substantial remains of which still exist, supplied numerous street fountains, at which the people drank, and, much more important, the enormous bath buildings, erected and maintained at fabulous expense by various emperors. There were no street lamps. Soldiers employed as policemen carried torches through the streets. It was a method corresponding nearly to that in use in European cities a couple of centuries ago. Stoves were unknown and dwellings were heated with braziers of charcoal. Olive oil lamps and candles of tallow and wax furnished domestic illumination. House furniture—sofas, chairs, beadsteads and what not—much resembled in pattern what we have today, and for the rich was no less luxurious. Grain was ground by watermills and windmills. Boats on the Tiber carried mill wheels that were driven by the current of the river. Chickens were hatched by incubators on a great scale for market. Ice obtained from mountain heights was stored in summer time for winter use. A big book might be written about the "modern giving dinner. Most of the boys are to be taken to church services before the dinner. Automobile rides and other forms of entertainment constitute the afternoon program. Probably every boy will feel an impulse to write a message to mother. What is being done at Great Lakes, where the largest naval training station of the world is located, is typical of the programs at the other training stations. On every battleship guarding our coast lines, in every submarine craft which bears American sailors, or every other ship manned by the blue-jackets at least a portion of Thanksgiving day will be devoted to meditation. Religious services will be held on many of the ships. Turkey dinners with several courses, topped off with ice cream or other delicacies, are to be served to all of the navy men. And as they eat the boys will appreciate as never before the significance of Thanksgiving and the turkey dinner. They will better understand the hardships which the Pilgrims endured in order that they might establish a people who should be at liberty to worship as they saw fit. And as they think of the fortitude of the men who fought hunger, and cold, and disease, and death in order that somewhere there should be a country where people could be assured of liberty, the jackles sincerely offer up their gratitude to the power which has made it possible for them to aid in preserving this nation from the loss of that priceless liberty. conveniences" enjoyed by the ancient Romans. They were wiped out, together with nearly everything that was wqorth while in the way of civilization, by barbarous tribes, whose notion of warfare was "frightfulness" carried to the ultimate extent. These tribes were largely the ancestors of the present-day Germans. What they are today they were then. And what they did to Rome and to the civilization of which Rome was the dominant center put back the progress of the world just about eighteen centuries. An Odd Fish--The Sea Horse If mermalids were no bigger than some fairies, they might have horses to ride. The sea horses are creatures familiar enough, though most people have never seen one alive. Summer visitors at the seashore find them for sale—very dead, and dried—at shops that specialize in marine curios. The sea horse (naturalists say) is one of the most ancient of fishes. It is one of nature's oddest imitations—a "camouflage," so to speak. It has a horselike head, and its body is so shaped as to resemble the neck of that quadruped. But really, when one comes to examine it, the thing it counterfeits is the "knight" piece of the chessboard. The sea horse has a tubelike snout, at the end of which are the mouth and jaws. Its head is topped by a sort of coronet. Clad in a complete suit of armor plates, it cannot flex its body like other fishes, and its finless tail is of no use for locomotion. It feeds on small shrimps and other crustaceans. Occasionally, uncolling its tail from the supporting plant, it swims slowly, not like other fishes, but always in a vertical position, its back fin vibrating rapidly. Like other fishes, the sea horse possesses an air-bladder, which is always distended by a quantity of gas so exactly adjusted for equilibrium that, if a single bubble no larger than the head of a small pin be extracted, the creature falls to the bottom and must crawl about until the wound is healed and a fresh supply of gas has been secreted. But the most remarkable point about the sea horse is that the male is provided with an external stomach-pouch, in which, at the mating season, the female deposits her eggs. The lining membrane of the pouch secretes a nutritious fluid on which the young, when hatched, are fed. When they are big enough to take care of themselves, the father sea horse rubs his stomach against a winkleshell or some other convenient object, and by this means forces them out into the water.

LESSON TEXT—Psalms 103. GOLDEN TEXT—Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.—Ps. 103:2. This Psalm is man's response to the goodness and mercy of God. It expresses the joy and gratitude of a forgiven sinner as he worships before God. There is too much in this Psalm for one to attempt to set it forth, so we must be content to display some of its most prominent notes. I. Man's Entire Being Should Sing God's Praise, v. 1. The true worshipper praises God with every faculty of his being; his intellect, emotion, desires, affections all unite in praising Jehovah. The entire being responds in a song of harmonious praise. Some praise God with their voices but not with their hearts; some with their intellect but not with their affections; some with their emotions but not with their wills. That praise which involves the entire being alone is pleasing to God. II. The Benefits Granted, vv. 2-6. The Psalmist exhorts man not to forget all God's benefits. This seems to be needed now as well as then, for most of us are better at remembering our troubles and adversities, our losses and our sorrows, than we are at remembering our merches and blessings. It would be a good thing for some of us to keep a record of the good things of life and see that, after all, our blessings outweigh our burdens. We have more days of sunshine than of clouds, more joys than we have of sorrows, more hours when we are free from pain than we suffer with pain. If God were as forgetful of us as we are of Him, life would be nrnd indeed. (1) Forgiveness of sins, v. 3. In forgiveness we are freed from the curse of sin and its blight and burdens are removed. We are not only forgiven, but we are healed of sin's disease! not only freed from the burdens of sin but of its effects, so that we do not go after the things of this world. To be saved for heaven means that we are saved from the world. (2) Redemption, v. 4. We have been saved by Christ giving Himself as a ransom for our souls. (3) Satisfaction, v. 5. When God redeems, He so thoroughly renews the man that the good things which he gets from God satisfy him. His blessings are so real that he finds satisfaction in God. Men and women of the world are reaching out after fleeting things. They are ever grasping after something, but are never satisfied. Not so with the redeemed soul; he finds absolute satisfaction in the things which God gives him. Worldings may be satiated, but God's redeemed along are satisfied. (4) Executing judgment in behalf of the oppressed, v. 6. He is always on the side of the oppressed. God undertakes for his own, and sooner or later He will mete out justice to all. There is a reckoning day for the world coming. Those who have done evil shall suffer loss; those who have done good shall be rewarded. III. Attributes of God for Which He Should Be Praised, vv. 7-18. These attributes have been displayed in God's dealings with his chosen people. (1) Merciful and gracious, v. 8. He is slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. An example of his mercy is seen in the father of the prodigal son running to meet his son and kissing him. A very little thought will make very evident how God withholds his anger and waits patiently for an opportunity to extend his mercy. (2) He will not always "childe" vv. 8-12. When God forgives he forgives forever. Men say they forgive, but how often they "childe" and "keep anger." God has not dealt with us according to our sins, for, as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that they fear him. So really has God forgiven us that our transgressions are as far removed from us as the East is from the West, an incalculable distance. (3) He is compassionate and tender, vv. 13-14. This reveals God's fatherly heart. He fully knows our weakness. He does not deal with us as though we were strong. He knows how weak and fallible we are through the fall. It is consoling to know that God considers our "frame"; He knows that we are "dust" (4) His mercy is everlasting, eternal, vv. 15-17. Man is at best transitory, but God is eternal. The one who rests his hopes in God is eternally safe. This should encourage us to lean not upon man but upon God. (5) God is gracious to those who are in covenant relationship, v. 18. If we would enjoy these blessings revealed in God's attributes we must be God's children. His mercies are restrictive, only bestowed upon his own children. IV. A Call to All the Universe to Praise the Lord, vv. 19-22. Since God is such a wonderful Being, He should have universal praise. His kingdom is over all; his Lordship should have recognition. The true conquerors are often those whom the world calls the vanquished. -Max Muller. Why Jesus Delivered the Solemn Warning Against Profanity of "Thou Fool." "Whosoever shall say, thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."—St. Matthew 5:22. The excuse of "mere words" does not meet the case. There are plenty of idle words, vapid and thoughtless—rambling speech that starts from nothing and reaches no terminal. Yet it is a fair question whether even such words are altogether so idle and mere as they seem. Wise men have never undervalued speech. Jesus attached great importance to words. He warns us against over-fluency and would have us think before we speak. He tells us that our words either condemn us or honor us. We are making records of ourselves. In our prayers we use the name of God to lift us upward. Out in the street we may see the same name to curse another man. Words bind us to God. Words cut us away from God. Words weave our hearts together, and words ravel us apart. Words bless and make life beautiful, and words fill life with hate and sorrow. "What do you read, my lord?" asked Polonius, and Hamlet answered, "Words, words, words." But Hamlet found the one thing he could not endure to hear people trifle with words. He could not come to peace because he found life poisoned with false words, and Macbeth came at last to this sorry travesty of life, "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Hard to Forget. There are no "mere words." Somewhere all our words are woven into this thing that we are, making it either poor or rich, giving it substance and strength or frailty and poverty. It is almost easier to forget a blow that it is to forget a curse. The blow is somehow physical, brutal, a thing of the body. The curse is in some mysterious way a thing of the mind, the spirit. Boys have told me that they have never been able to forget their employer's curse, spoken in sudden wrath. They would almost rather have been struck. The same thing is true of all angry speech and accusation. Someone has offended you, and you flash forth your bitter words. The passion of your speech carries you, and because you have called him by some obprobious, hateful name you have all in a moment created a deathless memory. Friendships are severed, hones are ruined, husbands and wives are alienated, love is killed and trust destroyed and the heart of life broken more often, I think, by angry words than by wicked deeds. Jesus says that the doing of this sort of thing puts a man in danger of hell fire. Hell fire is not a physical flame but an undying regret, a sense of shame and loss that will not leave us. One of the gravest evils of hasty speech is that it has the very opposite result from that which those who use it think to secure. It builds up walls of dislike and separation. It arouses anger instead of correcting errors. It is destructive instead of helpful and upbuilding. Men and women who use it defeat their own purposes and lower the dignity of their own characters. Ask Forgiveness. Jesus speaks this word of warning because he knows what language means. If you are bringing your gift to the altar, and remember that you have done someone an injury, spoken unkindly, or cruelly or sightlyly of them, go and make amends. Ask forgiveness for your faulty speech, your unkind criticism, your rash and headlong condemnation of your false innuendo, and, having done your best to repair your wrong, come then and offer your gift. If your child, or your wife, or your husband arouses your impatience is it for you to fly into a passion or indulge in bitter, sarcastic speech? If you have a dislike for someone, and you let drop an ungenerous word that arouses suspicion and feeds the flame of a slow, deep burning distrust, have you not really done the coward's deed and struck below the belt? Jesus is giving us here the standard of a fine courtesy, the gentleman's creed. The fact is we live in a world where words have an almost infinite power to bless or curse. And rest assured of this also, that the word of blessing blesses both the speaker and the one of whom he speaks, and the word of cursing curses, often, even more bitterly, the one who speaks the curse. The old proverb still holds true, "A soft word turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger." — Rev. Pascal Harrower, Church of the "Ascension, West Brighton, S. L. Success. He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has galued the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory is a benediction.—Stevenson.

Tyler, ex-auditor of the Navy, is the logical man for Secretary of the National Negro Soldiers' Comfort Committee. He is the best newspaper man of our race, having long experience on white publications and is an expert on publicity. Mr. Tyler will have the confidence of a mass of friends in his work, and his selection by the committee is a very wise one. The American government, founded on the simple plan of the colonist,—"that they should take, who have the power, and they should keep, who can'—whose purpose was to extimitate the Indian and enslave the Negro; will reap what it has sown and work out its salvation with fear and trembling. America must win and the Negro will play the important part. There will be no question about his ability or desire to exercise his proven right as a real American citizen during and after the war. A NATIONAL PROBLEM. Press reports show that America will face the problem of educating many of the Negroes drafted for war service. It may be a "problem" now, but it is a long neglected debt which she must pay with compound interest. Other "problems" will follow in rapid succession. America will learn the lesson of patriotic economy at the school of bitter and expensive experience. Nature's centrifugal forces are working, and she rigidly enforces the laws of compensation. The Negro is, and always has been, loyal to our Nation. The war has caused many heretofore indifferent Americans to become pro-Negro in this critical hour. The conservationists and economists have found that their neglect of the health, morals and rights of the Negro has been a willful waste—now a woeful want. Now that the awewriting on the wall is seen, the race will come into its own. The Negro will suffer side by side with the other Americans and by so doing will deliver the destinies of the race. THE NEGRO IN THE WAR. The course of the Negro race has been highly creditable in this war. Upon barren soil fell the seeds of sedition and insurrection disseminated by German agents and pro-German newspapers in an attempt to incite the Negroes to uprising against the United States. So far as we have observed, Negro leaders have been conspicuously free from treasonable utterances. Drafted Negroes have gone to the front as cheerfully as any other set of men and, if history repeats itself, they will fight with signal bravery. German bullets will send as much torture and agony into black bodies as into white. Death will not discriminate against the Negro soldier. The patroltism of these people will not be forgotten and should ever be kept in mind and taken into account for full credit in the adjustment of racial problems.—Greenville, S. C., News. WAITERS WANT MORE WAGES. The waiters, who have been doing extra work at the various hotels, are asking for more wages. The increased cost of living and the salaries paid to laborers in other employment justifies their demand. They should get at least $2.00 for a day's services, even if employed only one meal. The preparation for the job, the time lost for other work, the advance protection given their employers by "booking a day or so ahead," with the services rendered, are well worth a few dollars. An extra waiter's expenses cannot be met with a dollar a meal, and that only about twice a week. There are too many places for working men new, where good salaries obtain, and good waiters will be wanted, if they are not paid better wages. There is not a Negro on the payroll of the entire military forces of the state. The Twin City Star stands for equal rights for all American citizens. The 36th Annual Convention of the Minnesota Woman Suffrage Association was held in the Palm Room of the St. Paul Hotel Friday and Saturday, Nov. 16th and 17th ending with a luncheon in honor of Mrs. Nellie McClung, well known Canadian suffragist at which there were nearly five hundred guests. The Every woman Suffrage Club was well represented at each session of the convention by its full delegation and many of the members. The delegates were: Mimes. W. T. Francis, Wm. B. Tandy, W. V. Howard and B. N. Murrell. Others in attendance at the sessions were Mimes. Saml. Wright, C. H. Miller, Orri Hall. Wm. Hood, F. A. Scott, T. Ervin, W. B. Walker, Chas. Sharp, A. H. Lealtad, Julia Moore, and Miss Katherine Tandy who was introduced to the convention as the youngest suffrage speaker in the state, Miss Tandy having delivered a splendid address on Womans Suffrage from the rostrum of the Mechanics Arts High School, in which she is a junior, last winter. Those who were guests at the Luncheon were Mmes. Sam'l Wright, W. T. Francis, B. N. Murrell, W. B. Tandy, C. H. Miller, Wm. Wood, F. A. Scott, T. Irvin, Orrington C. Hall, W. B. Walker, A. H. Leatad and Julia Moore. Mrs. Andreas Ueland was re-elected president of the Association, Mrs. Chas P. Noyes first vice-president, Mrs. Maud C. Stockwell secretary. Mrs. W. T. Francis was appointed a member of the local Committee on Arrangements. PROGRESS AND THE NEGRO. It takes years for great improvements to produce visible results. In the South a gregarious, pleasure-loving, improvident race has seemed to be but slightly affected by the economic and industrial changes of the times. The Negro has been the unskilled laborer, the poor tenant former, raising his bale or two of cotton and turning it over to the local buyer in liquidation of his debt for the year's living expenses. The teachings of institutions like Tuskegee, Calhoun and Hampton are producing a class trained in trades, efficiency and initiative, whose influence is a leaven slowly permeating the mass for industrial uplift and awakening in the Negro a sense of his economic value. The labor shortage has been an advantage to him. Seven thousand Negroes applied to the Federal Department of Labor last year in regard to opportunities for employment; testimony to the spread of industrial education.-Detroit Free Press. We have some among our advertisers and subscribers who are a credit to our race for their business-like methods. They pay promptly in advance and expect nothing unreasonable in return. Others want to know "Why we can't 'trust' them?" or send a bill, and then a collector, and finally censor a Negro editor because he can't run his paper "like the white man." Few persons realize that it pays to pay as you go. The Star is not an installment plan proposition. It is a real newspaper run under many difficulties mostly due to the foolish notions and ignorant whims of those whom it serves and protects and from whom it should get its support and their consideration. There is a great demand for laborers now and Negroes are being employed where before they were "not wanted." As a rule, they are making good and their efficiency will overcome much of the general prejudice against them. The Negro has been denied the privilege of employment mostly because of the ignorance of many employers. Since the Negro laborer has better opportunities, he will be a better citizen. The so-called race-problem will soon be solved because there is no Negro problem; it is the white man's; and its only solution is an intelligent consideration for the Negro as a man and an acknowledgement of his right to earn his living on equal footing with other citizens. FROM CAUSE TO EFFECT. The Negro is in the war at home and abroad. He must be true to himself to be true to his country. He cannot afford to surrender his manhood for position, or his birthright for finance; no more right here than he can afford to act as a spy or quit as a coward—Over there. Let us not be led astray by those friends who want us, because we give the most, but pay due tribute to those who treat us as men. And as a warning to St. Paul Negroes, let the white citizens accept the Negro in their own gatherings. Minneapolis sets the example. The boys here were given every consideration like the other races; and one of our black boys can do more among the white people by showing his loyalty and willingness to go, to advance us in their estimation as a race, than a thousand Negroes, by listening to the "bull" shot at us by a few white persons of prominence, who have done comparatively nothing for us, according to their positions and power; although they have been materially benefited by us.

D., Nov. 23.—What appears to be a wholesale plot to destroy elevators and feed warehouses in the Northwest may be revealed after an investigation is made of a $200,000 fire at Lemmon, S. D., when two grain elevators and an entire business block in the heart of that city was destroyed by a fire supposedly of incendiary origin. Phosphorous plants were found in several parts of the city and several arrests have been made. A vigilance committee has been organized and is patrolling the streets with orders to shoot all prowlers first and investigate afterward. The city is also menaced by an extensive prairie fire from the northwest. Sixty-five guests in the Palace hotel at Lemmon are believed to have escaped, although a traveling man from St. Paul was unaccounted for. The fire loss in the business section of Lemmon is estimated at $150,000. On Trial for Slaying Husband. Mineola, L. I.

The sister, Amalio, looked even sadder and more weary than Mrs. De Saulles. DARING HOLDING NETS $40,000 Highwaymen Raid Jewelry Store On Crowded Mill City Street.

They held up two clerks who had opened the store for the day, riffed the safe, stealing diamonds and pearls of value estimated at $45,000. Sugar For Russia Seized. New York, Nov. 23.—Ten thousand tons of sugar which had been purchased for the imperial Russian government before the revolution and stored in a warehouse here, has been seized by Federal Administrator G.

Well Known Writer of Verse, the Author of "Chords and Discords," "The Child of the Night," "The Black Soldiers," "Love's Unchangeableness," "Too Much, Religion," "Toast to the Ethiopian Maid," Eto. P. Considerable interest has been awakened recently in the literary works of Walter Everette Hawkins by the reading public, educational institutions and libraries. As a writer of verse Mr. Hawkins is thoughtful and inspiring. His poems bear the stamp of efficiency and show the easy grasp the author has of the English language. He is modest and withal a man of action in the world of letters who is to be reckoned with in his chosen line. Walter Everette Hawkins is a native of Warrenton, N. C., and is just approaching his thirty-fourth birthday. After finishing his studies in the public school at Warrenton he entered Kittrell college, Kittrell, N. C., from which he was graduated in 1901. Among Mr. Hawkins' best known works are "Chords and Discords," published by Murray Bros. at Washington; "The Child of the Night," "The Black Soldiers," "Love's Unchangeableness" and "Too Much Religion." While on a visit to New York in the early part of June Mr. Hawkins was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Edward Bruce of Madison avenue. The poet is now a resident of Washington, in which city he is making many friends. His poem "Toast to the Ethiopian Maid" follows: I mingle my goblet with oil of the vine And drink to the health of a maid most benign: No less do I drink to her beauty and youth Than the meek innocence, virtue and truth And meekly arrayed in thy modest brocade I drink to thy health, Ethiopian maid. Mid noontide and moontide, whatever thy themes, Thy vision creeps in the enchantments of dreams: The pipings of skylark and thrills of the wren Are mixed in the midst of the melody when Thy laughter rings out in the vine scented glade. As I drink to thy health, Ethiopian maid. I dance at the feast of the gay daffodil. I drink from the feast of life's full flowing rills The attar of roses, the nectar of wine, But I turn from them all for the love that is thine— The essence of life in thy beauty displayed, In thy radiance of soul, Ethiopian maid. When sun of the tropics turns westward and dies The magic still lingers in light of thine eyes: I mingle my goblet with oil of the palm Where the sun shines over and summer miles warm. And there mid the magic of forest and shade I drink thy sweet health, Ethiopian maid. Alien Slackers to Be Drafted. Washington, Nov. 23.—"Alien slackers" will be included in the draft.

In the Spanish language Christopher is "Cristobal" and Columbus would be "Colon"—so Cristobal Colon really is "Christopher Columbus." Approaching Colon harbor you notice two long lines projecting out into Limon bay; these are the east and west breakwaters, built of massive cement blocks and piles driven down many feet into the water. They protect the harbor from the heavy storms and "northers" that sweep along the coast, writes Alice Sims Macqueen in the Los Angeles Times. cents you "dip" any 10 p. m. and it is 3 day as Fo the pool in other two Just our pictures 1865 by co railroad a short ti a barracc since bee ship, the Indian no borers on are reser and visit A walk beach is Passing between the breakwaters the New Washington hotel on Colon beach, owned and built by the United States government, first attracts your attention, then your boat comes to a stop and a government health officer comes aboard to inspect the passengers before they land. After this examination you slowly pull up to an enormous concrete pier, one of five, and you are in Cristobal, Canal Zone, where Uncle Sam's workers on the Atlantic side of the canal chiefly reside. There are around 2,000 Americans living in Cristobal and a number of families residing in Colon, which city has a population of approximately 20,000. Before you land, however, the massive steel girders of the new Cristobal coaling plant attract your attention. This is where ships are supplied with coal before continuing their journey through the canal or northward. On the dock the customs officer inspects your baggage. This ordeal being over you try to decide which of the dilapidated looking coaches with their underfed, weary horses will be most apt to carry you safely to the hotel. There being no choice you take the first. Jingle, jangle! loudly peals a bell. No, it is not the fire department, but your driver warning the crowd that he is coming, while your poor old steed does his best at a run. Along Roosevelt Avenue. Out past the new Terminal building of the Panama Railroad company you drive into a street lined with wonderful coconut palm trees. This is "Palm" or "Rosevelt" avenue, and before the big docks and office buildings were erected in Cristobal it was the choice residence-section of the town, commanding an uninterrupted view out over the changeable waters of the Caribbean sea, north toward homeland. The big deserted-looking building at your left is the offices of the Hamburg-American Steamship line, little used since the European war; next is the United Fruit company's building, while last of all is the American fire station, with its big white horses peering out of their stalls as you pass. All this looks quite homelike, save the palms, but wait until you cross the railroad track into Colon, where you see the big commissary that furnishes Americans with everything from shoes to Christmas turkey and then it is just Colon, smelly, quaint, native Colon, with her hundred different races and numberless types, her sweltering streets and alluring Hindoo and Chinese shops. You turn a corner and a line of state-royal palms gives you a dignified meeting. This is Slifer park, where the native Panamanians and others either several times a week to listen to the band and gossip. For no Spanish city is complete without a "Parque central" and a band, no matter how nor how small both the city and the band may be. At the end of the park is the Washington hotel. It is of Spanish architecture, with wide veran- looking out to sea. There is a garden on all sides, where palms, lov- ed hibiscus and roses grow in abundance. A sea wall runs along the front of the hotel grounds and a love- ness walk cannot be found. This wall brings you to the outdoor swimming connected with the hotel. It is with ocean water and here for five cents you are privileged to take a "dip" any time between 6 a. m. and 10 p. m. The water is always warm, and it is just as pleasant on Christmas day as Fourth of July. At one side of the pool is Battery Morgan and at the other two concrete bath houses. On Colon Beach. Just outside of the hotel grounds is picturesque Christ church, erected in 1865 by contributions from the Panama railroad and missionary societies. For a short time the Colombians used it as a barracks and arsenal, but it has since been used as a place of worship, the members being mainly West Indian negroes—British subjects, laborers on the canal work. A few seats are reserved for white Episcopalians and visitors. A walk along the ocean on Colon beach is the next point of interest. Here you see big gray houses, facing seaward and flanked by rows of tall coconut trees. In these houses employees of the Panama canal reside. In most cases there are four families to a house, which is built somewhat on the style of an apartment house. At the end of the street stands the recently completed government hospital, where Americans are cared for at a minimum charge if they are government employees. Pass this building and you come face to face with a sign telling you to "keep out" of the quarantine reservation. Down back of the hospital the three tall radio or wireless stations loom skyward. Now let us take a coach and drive up Bolvar street. This street runs parallel with Front street, with a romantically named alley (Bottle alley) running between. In the early days Front street was filled with saloons (there are many even now) and all the bottles were dumped out back of the buildings. Front street was then the first and last street in Colon, because the land had not yet been filled in for building and it was just a swamp. The strange looking people are Jamaicans, Martiniquos, Barbandians and almost every other kind of folks, including Panamanians. Most of the children do not wear clothing until they are five or six years old. It all depends on the mother's ambition. Where the Officials Hold Forth. The large building to your left is the "administration" building of the Panamanian government, where the governor of Colon, the alcalde and other officials hold forth. In the basement you will find the post office, but do not make the mistake of addressing a letter to any of the American families living in Colon to this office, as they all receive their mail in Cristobal. A mammoth fire swept much of this section of the city a little more than a year ago, and the new concrete shops along the way mark this place. The ramshackle frame buildings are tenement houses, and the occupants pay from $7 to $12 per month for a single room. The overhanging balconies look as though they would tumble on the heads of the passer-by, but they have been clinging there for some time and we will hope for the best. Back of Bolivar street is Broadway, the widest street in the city, as its name would indicate. Here you find more tenement houses and on the side streets catch glimpses of the cottages of the better class of Panamanians and a few Americans who are in private business in Colon and therefore not entitled to government quarters. On Broadway also are two theaters, usually used for moving pictures, but provided with stages large enough to accommodate a small company of players. Further up toward the end of the street is the government corral, where horses and mules used in the work at Cristobal are kept. At the end of Broadway you come to Mt. Hope road, which leads out past the "substation," which furnishes electric current for government work and homes, to the cemetery at Mt. Hope. Now I had not the slightest intention of bringing you out to the cemetery and leaving you there, but it is a pretty spot, so full of flowers and wonderful tropical trees and plants, that one forgets it is a burying ground. On Colon Beach. THE TWIN CITY STAR, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. The KITCHEN CABINET A mind without convictions is like a road that begins everywhere and leads nowhere. ECONOMICAL DISHES. A ball or two of well-seasoned hamburger steak is sufficient to season a dish of macaroni or rice, making a most substantial dish. Break up a cupful of macaroni in inch pieces and cover with boiling water well salted, to cook until tender. Put a or rice, making a most substantial dish. Break up a cupful of macaroni in inch pieces and cover with boiling water well salted, to cook until tender. Put a layer of the cooked macaroni in a casserole or granite baking dish, add bits of the cooked hamburger, a little onion juice and celery salt, a little broth or butter and water, repeat until the macaroni is used. Place in the oven and bake for a half hour. Green peppers and tomatoes may be used for seasoning, if so desired. Where chestnuts are plentiful they may make-most dalty, nutritious, and at the same time, attractive dishes. Chestnuts contain carbohydrates which need cooking to make them more easily digested. Score the shell and drop them into a hot frying pan to blanch, when blanched remove the shell and thin brown skin and the nut is ready for various uses. Cooked until tender, mashed and seasoned with fat which it facks, salted and peppered, it may be served as a vegetable with steak. Chestnut Cakes.—Shell and blanch some good chestnuts, then cook in boiling salted water until tender. Rub them through a sieve and to every half cupful add the yolk of an egg, salt, white pepper, celery salt, and onion juice and Worcestershire sauce, to season highly. Make into neat cakes, brush with beaten egg, roll in fine crumbs, and try in smoking hot fat. Serve as meat. Mock Mashed Potatoes.—Cook a pound of chestnuts for a quarter of an hour, peel and skin them, and cook in a quart of milk until very soft. Add two tablespoonfuls of butter, one teaspoonful of sugar, and a teaspoonful of salt. Rub through a sieve and serve the same as mashed potatoes. This makes a nice vegetable to serve with chicken, and it has the additional advantage that it can be eaten by those to whom potatoes are denied. Deviled Chestnuts.—Blanch the nuts, then put them with a little olive oil into a hot frying pan, and salt and cayenne pepper and serve either hot or cold. Chestnuts cooked until tender, then mashed and seasoned with a well-seasoned stock in which the nuts were cooked, makes a most acceptable vegetable dish. Have you noticed that the women who have system in their work almost invariably appear to have the least to do? FOR THE INVALID'S TRAY. For the whimsical palate of an invalid a dainty is more acceptable. whatever it may be, if served in some unusual form. For the busy housewife who has but one pair of hands to perform all duties, time is a most valuable asset, and she has little for frills. However a few minutes spent in garnishing and arranging a dish will make all the served in some unusual form. For the busy housewife who has but one pair of hands to perform all duties, time is a most valuable asset, and she has little for drills. However a few minutes spent in garnishing and arranging a dish will make all the difference between receiving and eating it with anticipation, or refusing it altogether. So many fetching things may be done with ordinary things in the home, for example, a whole set of dishes may be made from a few lemons. Out the lemon that has a good projection for a spout into a cream pitcher, cut a ring of rind for the handle, scoop out the pulp and volla! a pitcher, not for cream, but for various jellies. Cut a lemon the other way across, put on two little handles and have a sugar bowl, the half of a lemon a little smaller with one handle will be a cup. Pigs, using toothpicks for legs, may be made, eyes of black pins, delighting the heart of a child. With dates and figs, turtles, with peanuts various figures, even a whole man may be made by using toothpicks and cork. Fruit Cream.—Beat the white of an egg, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and half a glass of grape jelly until it is stiff enough to stan. Serve in sherbet cups with a bit of whipped cream on top. Rice Cream.—Blend a tablespoonful of rice flour with cold milk, add it to a pint of scalding milk, a pinch of salt and three tablespoonfuls of sugar, cook until well done. Pour out into a pretty dish and serve with cream and more sugar if desired. An egg dropped into a ramekin with a tablespoonful of cream, set in the oven in water and baked just long enough to set the egg, is delicious when seasoned with a dash of salt and paprika. In all homes there are some choice bits of china, glass and silver, which will be used to advantage on the invalid's tray. Colored foods, like jellies and gelatin desserts look well in glass. For the child a little thing to divert the mind while eating will often lead to his eating a good meal, without realizing that he is being forced to do it. Nellie Maxwell INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE CITIES Why Girl Candy Workers Swore Off Sweet Stuff Why Girl Candy Workers Swore Off Sweet Stuff NEW YORK-While Miss Theresa Cohen of 233 Minerva place, the Bronx, was tasting the cup of popularity in the candy factory in West Thirty-fourth street, where she works, the ten other girls in that place were tasting another drink, in sight, the nut brittle or the chocolate fudge or the marshmallow creams which she had been stirring. Since she wasn't sure which, she began tasting the pieces of candy into which the three brands had been molded. Surreptitiously at first, but later—when Miss Cohen announced a reward—boldly the ten others began nibbling and quashing away at everything on the big marble-topped tables. Between sniffles and tears, Miss Cohen announced that it was her engagement ring—and, of course, that led to more sympathy and more search and more nibbling. Through it all she was the center of interest—even to have lost a diamond ring makes a girl popular in the Bronx. And then, just when it seemed that the whole candy supply was to be demolished, the porter came in to ask who had left a ring on the window sill in the washroom and Miss Cohen remembered that she had taken off her ring to wash her hands after working up that mean old peanut brittle. That's all there is to it—except that not a single girl offered to walk home with Miss Cohen that night—which, considering where she lives, may not be so strange after all. Baby Plagiarizes Scene From. "Immortal Will" Baby Plagiarizes Scene From. "Immortal Will" DETROIT.—A charming debutante is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Cole, 698 Artillery avenue. Although it's a harsh charge to place against one so youthful, Miss Cole is a rank plagiarist. Merely to create an impress- dents do say it was quite a hit. But even if it was not her own creation, Miss Cole's tour in her mother's laundry basket procured her a deal of public interest. Her mother placed a basket of soiled clothes on the porch for the laundry man. In some way Miss Cole got in the basket. How she got there seems to be a mystery, but it is believed she became hidden in the clothes and was put in the basket with them. Anyway the laundry man failed to see her and took her right away with him to the laundry, and her mother was frantic with worry, fearing she had been abducted, and policemen were called to search for her, and oh—lots of excitement resulted. Her hiding place was revealed just as she was about to be dumped into a boiling vat at the laundry. On her return home Monday afternoon, Miss Cole refused to discuss the incident. She is three months old. Jewish Refugees Reach America in Terrible Plight Jewish Refugees Reach America in Terrible Plight AN ATLANTIC PORT.—With minds and bodies almost wrecked by starvation and other European war horrors, 89 Jewish war refugees from Palestine arrived here on a French liner. No brush or word picture could repro to death. They were four months going from Jerusalem to Berne. Many died from starvation and exposure while on the way. The few who made the trip successfully arrived starving, emaciated and half nude. Temporary relief awaited them at Berne, where clothing also was provided. En route, they were attacked by a band of young Turkish soldiers who stripped them of everything of value, especially clothing and food. Many of them have relatives in America by whom they will be cared for. Others will be taken care of by Jewish charity. At Berne, an additional 1,000 refugees are waiting to be brought over. Their first act on arriving on American soil was to offer prayer for their safe arrival; their first request was for food. The request was granted immediately by the New York members of the committee. To say that two million people are starving; that in the Lebanon alone more than 150,000 have perished of starvation and disease; that in Palestine the population of Jerusalem has fallen by over one-third since the war's beginning, from the same causes, means perhaps very little to the horror-jaded mind. But to have seen the naked children lying out in the cold and rain of the garbage-strewn streets of Beirut, crying out for a crust of bread, till even the Turkish officials could not bear it any longer and appealed to the American ambassador to send help; to have seen the thousands of deported Armenians, mostly women and children, literally rotting to death on the banks of the Euphrates, these were sights never to be forgotten by those that hebel them. Wandering Ostrich Cleans Up City Back Yard SALT LAKE CITY.—John Stobbe of 3574 East Third street has an ostrich on his hands. Mr. Stobbe allows that it is some bird. At first it was generally supposed that it had wandered away from Liberty park, with a panel of pieces of broken dishes, knives, marbles, patchwork, tins and other bright morsels that appealed to his sense of things edible. Now the bird has settled down to watching for the falling of the apples and pears, unmindful of the decreasing supply on the trees. S. R. Lambourne, superintendent of the city parks, said last night that the bird undoubtedly belongs at the Wandemere resort. Insistence of many persons who telephoned to him that they had served the city by finding one of its ostriches led Mr. Lambourne to investigate when the bird had strayed. He notified the officials of the resort, but at last reports the ostrich was still holding down the outfield and infield in the Stobbe apple orchard. everything else in sight that looked big enough to contain a diamond ring. Later, Miss Cohen tasted the dregs of the same cup while the ten foolish virgins wrestled with the making of resolutions never, never to taste any horrid old candy for the rest of their lives, so help 'em. It all began when, in the midst of the forenoon, Miss Cohen suddenly gave a Bronx shriek and announced hysterically that she had dropped her diamond engagement ring in the pea- nut brittle or the chocolate fudge or the been stirring.

The only difficulty about this explanation was that the keeper found neither ostrich nor section of fence missing from his compound. In the meantime, the puzzle that his presence in the neighborhood provoked did not disturb the ostrich. He approached the back yard of the Stobbe residence under squatter's right. The yard was strewn with pears and apples from fruit trees. These he cleared up forthwith, along with such tables, patchwork, tins and other bright things edible.

"The pieces of coal," said Daddy, were nudging each other in the coal bin. "Soon will come our time of the year," they said. "People are beginning to light their furnaces these cold days. And when it gets really and truly cold—won't they think a lot of us? "One piece of coal was talking. I think it is splendid that there is such a season as autumn, and better still, winter. For if not we would never have any fun at all." "Ah, yes," said another piece of coal. "What fun we do have sparkling and crackling in the stoves, the furnaces and the grates. We get so warm playing and dancing and chasing each other." "Hide-and-go-seek is my favorite game,' said another piece. 'And we fool the people with that game. They think we are going out and that we haven't been properly lighted. But They Think We Are Going Out. we're simply waiting or smoldering as they say—yes, we're hiding from each other. That's a glorious game." "It is, indeed," they all agreed. "Well, what do you think of us?" called the pieces of coal from another bin. "We think you're nice coal friends, and we like you" said the ones of the first bin. "Ah, but we're better than that." "The pieces of the first bin nudged each other a little more and said: "You're pretty fond of yourselves to say you're better than we said you were." "And,' answered the pieces in the second bin, 'you're pretty fond of yourselves, or you wouldn't say that the finest thing in the world is to be friends of yours. But we will not pay any attention to such a remark. There are greater things for us to talk about." "What are they, pray tell?" said the first pieces, who were named the Furnace Coal Family. "The greater things we have to talk about are ourselves." 'Well, now, did we ever hear of anything to equal that?' said the Furnace Coal Family. 'Give us time and we'll explain,' said the others. 'We are called the Stove Coal Family. And we are not only appreciated in the winter. We are well liked in the summer. We are used for the kitchen stove—and all of our family can be used for different kitchen stoves. We make a specialty of stoves—and so we are used in the summer.' 'Must the kitchens be kept hot in the summer? We should think they would be kept cool just as other rooms and people and children and animals try to keep cool.' 'Still we must ask for time. If we did not work in the summer we would be very mean. For when we burn in the stove they can cook all sorts of things, and people must eat, von know.' "We suppose they must,' said the Furnace Coal Family. "And no matter what the weather, we work. They make pies and cakes; they cook meats and vegetables, and we help them. So we are useful all the year.' "Do they take a rest in the winter?' asked the Furnace Coal Family. "No,' said the Stove Coal Family; 'they never do.' "Then you do work hard,' they said, admiringly. "To be sure,' said the Stove Coal Family. "And to think of never resting!' the others said. "People never want to rest from eating," said the Stove Coal Family, 'and that is the reason why we must work, too. But of course we don't mind it. We love the heat. And it makes no difference to us if it is hot outside, for we are just as hot in the winter as the summer. We just naturally like the heat.' "So do we,' said the Furnace Coal Family. 'And to think you're busy all the time when we only work part of the year. Still it does seem nice to think that soon will come the time of the year when the people will be wondering if the furnace is turned on for all it is worth. Then we know how much we mean to grown-ups and children.' "Yes,' said the Stove Coal Family, 'we're both useful, for we keep them warm and we help give them food.' So they called themselves the Useful Coal Families from that day on." Prefers the Bobbles. Mattle when she saw her soldier ther for the first time in khaki looked at him critically.
