TURKEY AGREES TO EVERY CONDITION ALLIES INSIST ON OTTOMAN EMPIRE CONCLUDES AN ARMISTICE WITH BRITISH REPRESENTATIVES. FREES PRISONERS AT ONCE Truce Provides for Passage of Bosphorus to Black Sea and Occupation of Dardanelles Ports in Order to Secure Safe Passage. London, Nov. 1.—Turkey, weary of waiting for Germany to fulfill promises of financial and military support, threatened with defeat at the hands of the Allies, threw up the sponge and definitely retired from the war as a member of the Central Powers. Armistice terms, including the opening of the Dardanelles to the Allied fleets, were signed at Salonika by representatives of the British and Turkish nations. The truce went into effect immediately and the Dardanelles were reported to have been opened. Official Announcement Made. Official announcement of the unconditional surrender of the Ottoman empire was made in the House of Commons by Sir George Cave, home secretary. Sir George said that occupation of the Turkish forts on the Bosphorus and in the Dardanelles, and repatriation of Allied war prisoners were two of the terms of the truce. One of the ironies of the surrender was the taking of the offer of Turkish capitulation to the British naval authorities by General Townshend, the British commander captured at Kutel-Amara. He was released from captivity several days ago to carry the offer to Vice Admiral Calthorpe, in command of the Allied forces in the Aegean sea. Armistice Formally Signed. The Turkish peace envoyes arrived at Mudros early this week and the armistice was signed Thursday night by Vice Admiral Calthrope. It is believed, though not officially reported, that ships of the Allied fleet have already entered the Dardanelles. London, Nov. 1.—British representatives have concluded an armistice with Turkey at Saloniki, according to authoritative information received here. The terms are said to include free passage of the Dardanelles and to be such that it will be impossible for Turkey to resume hostilities. Turkey is thus definitely out of the war. The proposals from Turkey are regarded as tantamount to unconditional surrender. The actual terms of Turkey's peace proposals have not yet reached London. Vienna, Nov. 1.—Austrian troops fighting on Italian soil will be withdrawn, according to an official statement issued by the war office. The statement reads: "Taking into account the resolve so often expressed to bring about a conclusion of an armistice and peace, putting an end to the struggle of nations, our troops fighting on Italian soil will evacuate occupied regions." GERMANS LOSE HOLD ON HAWAIIAN SUGAR Industry on the Island Passes Into Hands of Group of Residents. New York, Nov. 1.—Elimination of German control over the Hawaiian sugar industry by the purchase by Americans of the powerful Hackfeld company was announced by A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian. The purchase of the German concern was arranged by Mr. Palmer. As a result of this transfer, the center of pro-German propaganda in the Pacific has been destroyed and the German hold on the principal industry of Hawaii permanently broken. GENERAL TOWNSHEND TURKISH MESSENGER Turks Release Captured British Officer to Carry Their Request for an Armlistice. Paris, Nov. 1.—General Townshend, commander of the British Mesopotamian force which surrendered at Kut-el Amara, was the messenger who bore the Turkish request for an armistice to the Allies, it was officially announced. General Townshend was forced to lay down his arms April 29, 1916, and was sent as a prisoner to an island in the Sea of Marmora. THE TWIN CITY STAR. SINGLE COPIES 5 CTS. JOHN H. ROSSITER C. WARDIS & EWING John H. Rossiter of San Francisco, director of operations of the United States shipping board, has one of the biggest war jobs in Washington. He directs the movements of Uncle Sam's shipping, a business which is growing more rapidly than any other industry in the country. Before coming to the shipping board he was vice president and general manager of the Pacific Mail Steamship company. He was one of the men who, 20 years ago, established the first regular steamship service between San Francisco and the west coast of South America. At thirteen Rossiter was an office boy, and at thirty-eight manager of W. R. Grace & Co. BRITISH FORCED SURRENDER CAPTURED ENTIRE TURKISH FORCE ON TIGRIS RIVER. London Announces Taking of Seven Thousand Men and Much War Material. London, Nov. 1.—"Hard fighting beginning Oct. 24 ended Oct. 30 with the capture of the entire Turkish forces opposed to us on the Tigris," it was officially announced. "We took 7,000 prisoners and much booty." The text of the statement reads: The text of the statement reads: "The hard fighting on the Tigris, which began Oct. 24, ended on the 30th with the capture of the entire Turkish force opposed to us on that river. The prisoners are estimated at about 7,000, with much material:" DESTROY EIGHTY-ONE GERMAN PLANES IN DAY British Airmen Establish New Record in Series of Violent Encounters. London, Nov. 1. — British airmen went into action with vengeance and established a new record for enemy machines destroyed in a single day. Sixty-six German airplanes were destroyed. Sixty-four machines were destroyed in the air, two on the ground, and 15 more driven down out of control. Only 18 British machines are missing. CHIEF OF STAFF MARCH WEARS BROAD SMILE War Department Officials Look for More "Big Doings" in the Near Future. Washington, Nov. 1.—"Big doings," was the enthusiastic exclamation of Chief of Staff March when informed of the capitulation of Turkey and the reported appeal for an armistice on the field of battle of Austria-Hungary. And War department officials indicated they expected more "big doings" before long. CHAOTIC CONDITIONS PREVAIL IN AUSTRIA Railways Necessary for Maintenance of Military Forces Have Been Disorganized. London, Nov. 1.—Conditions in the interior of Austria-Hungary virtually preclude a continuance of fighting, according to news reaching London. The railways necessary for the maintenance of the military forces of the dual monarchy have become utterly disorganized. Football Star Is Dead. Camp Dodge, Iowa, Nov. 1. — MaJ. William B. Dean, former West Point football star and acting division machine gun instructor here, died of pneumonia, which developed after influenza. Dean, twice unanimous choice of critics for all-American halfback, was directly responsible for West Point's victories over Yale in 1910 and 1913. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., NOVEMBER 2, 1918. VIENNA PLEADING FOR AN ARMISTICE VIENNA PLEADING FOR AN ARMISTICE DEFEAT OF AUSTRIAN ARMIES AND INTERNAL CHAOS ARE PROVING TOO MUCH. ALLIED VICTORY IS DECISIVE More Than 50,000 Prisoners Have Been Taken and From the Mountain Region to the Plains the Foe is in Flight. London, Nov. 1.—Turkey is out of the war, and Germany's remaining ally, Austria-Hungary, badly defeated on the field of battle, her battlline rent in twain and with chaos reigning inside her border, is pleading for an armistice. Thus far her importunities have received no better answer than the redoubling of the efforts of the Allies to crush her warriors. The capitulation of Turkey is believed to have been an unconditional one; the victories of the Allied forces over the Austro-Hungarians threaten to send what remains of the enemy armies reeling back to their border line shattered and completely vanquished. More than 50,000 prisoners have been taken by the Italian, British, French, American and Czecho-Slovak forces, and everywhere, from the mountain region to the plains of Venetia, the enemy is being sorely tried. In the mountains, where stiff resistance had been offered to keep the foe from entering the back door of Austria, the enemy's front is cracking under the violence of the attacks and important strategic positions are being lost. Wedge Driven Into Line. To the east of the Plave the Allies have driven in a sharp wedge to the northeast of Belluno, some 20 miles from their original point of departure, and severed connection between the armies in the north and those on the Venetian plains. Over the plains leading to the Austrian frontier at the Isonzo river the invaders everywhere are in full flight, with the Allied troops pressing them hard. Here the debacle seems to be complete. The enemy in his flight is leaving behind large numbers of guns and great quantities of war stores as he endeavors to reach the passages over the Tagliamento river. It seems not improbable that on the plains and in the region east and west of Belluno large numbers of the enemy are destined to be captured. Brilliant Aerial Work. On the western battle front there is still little fighting of a violent character, but the intensive operations of the airmen seems to presage an early return of battle of major importance. In Belgium both the British and Belgian troops have made slight gains, while the French on the southern part of the line in France have advanced their line and taken prisoners. Aside from reciprocal artillery duels and continued aerial raids by the Americans and Germans, the American sectors east and west of the Meuse have been comparatively quiet. BERLIN CALLS COUNT VON BERNSTORFF HOME German Envoy to Turkey Recalled for Consultation on American Affairs. Basel, Switzerland, Nov. 1. — The Frankfort Zeitung says Count von Bernstorf, German minister to Turkey, has arrived in Berlin, having been recalled from the Constantinople embassy, less on account of recent events in Turkey than the necessity to have some one in Berlin especially acquainted with American matters. UNITED STATES AND TURKEY NOT AT WAR Severance of Diplomatic Relations Was Taken by Sultan in April, 1917. Washington, Nov. 1.—For several weeks after the United States declared war on Germany, Turkey took no action but on April 21, 1917, she severed diplomatic relations. However, there has never been a declaration of war either by the United States or Turkey. Iowa Athlete War Victim. Davenport, Iowa, Nov. 1.—Capt John Swiney, for three years star forward on the Iowa state college basketball quintet, died Oct. 8 in France of pneumonia, according to word received by relatives here. He was captain of the Ames quintet in 1916 and was chosen on the "all state" team three successive years. GERMAN CITIES ARE RAIDED BRITISH AIRMEN ATTACK MANU- FACTURING CENTERS. Efforts Concentrated On Munition Plants, Aerodromes and Railway Communications. London, Nov. 1.—Continuing raids on German manufacturing centers by planes of the British Royal air force have resulted in the weakening of the morale of the German civilian population to such an extent that numerous indignation meetings have been held and requests for stronger air defenses forwarded to the German government. Unlike the German airmen, who drop their bombs promiscuously on open towns, Red Cross hospitals and the like, the British flyers have been concentrating their efforts on German munition establishments, aerodromes, railway communications and carefully selected military objectives. The two most frequently raided objectives of late are the Sablon railway station at Metz and the station and freight yards at Thionville. 69 Raids in 90 Days. These places were raided 69 times in 90 days and the air force have concentrated their efforts at these two important junctions, which are practically the center of the strategic railroads of Lorraine and the whole of the lower Rhine basin. Interruption to traffic at these points disorganizes the transport of a great battle zone, and more particularly the passage of munitions for troops holding the line against the French armies. The Badische poison gas works at Mannheim have been badly knocked about by the hundreds of bombs dropped by British airmen, and our young pilots are only too glad to have the opportunity of destroying these immense chemical works, where the mustard and other devilish gases used by the Germans are manufactured.

Would you suppose—that any native-born American, whose father answered Lincoln's call to save the Union—who enlisted as a boy in the regular army and volunteered for service when McKinley declared war against Spain—and whose only two sons are now in the active service of Uncle Sam's National army—would be guilty of disloyalty, unless those who made the charge could produce the evidence. NO! A THOUSAND TIMES, NO! Why should such a loyal community as we have in Minneapolis allow a disloyal Mayor to retain his position, without Federal action against him?

He has maintained an open door to all at all times, and in many instances has given evidence of his spirit of justice and sympathy. He appointed a member of our race on his Advisory Board and our first police woman and an assistant stenographer in his office. He stopped the display of objectionable signs in public places, such as "Colored Patronage Not Solicited," etc. He urged our people to pass the civil service examinations, so that we might qualify for positions in the city departments.

Albert Van Lear, the father of Mayor Thomas Van Lear, served throughout the Civil War in the Union army. The Mayor's father was one of the first to answer Lincoln's call and fought through some of the bloodiest battles of that struggle. He was wounded three times during the course of his service and was given an honorable discharge from the army late in 1864, but a few months before the Confederate surrender at Appomattox.

It is true that the fowls must be protected, but if they receive 80 much protection that fresh afr 1s kept out of the house they will suffer more from breathing bad alr than they. would from a little lower temperature. The air in a tightly closed building oon becomes laden with impurities from the breath of the fowls and from the filth that accumulates. ‘To breathe this alr over and over again Is to take back into the system many of the Im- purities that the system Is trying to throw off. As the oxygen of the alr becomes exhausted It can give less and Jess heating elements to the body of the fowl and gradually the fow!'s pow- er of resistance to cold is reduced. Unless there 1s sufficient ventilation to keep the alr reasonably pure the house becomes damp and in time moisture collects on the walls, which in cold weather turns to frost. These ‘are some of the reasons why suffictent ventilation should be provided at all times and why the hen houses: should not be closed tightly at the approach of cold weather. Drafts, however, must not be allowed to blow on the fowls, particularly when they are on the roosts at night. Montana Farmers Are Badly ‘In Need of Water on Land. “Water on our lands during 1917 and 1918 would have meant thousands of dollars to this country, to the farm- ers, and to the city people,” the ex- ‘ecutive committeeman in charge of Ir- rigation in the Fiathend county farm bureau, Montana, writes. The Flat- head county farm bureau is deter- mined that the drought conditions of ‘the present season shall not be repeat- ed and has made irrigation one of its major lines of work for the year. Dif- ferent localities will handle the prob- Jem in different ways. Irrigation in this valley will make it possible for the farmers to change from straight grain farming to the practice of a dl. versified system employing live stock ‘as well as the necessary crops.

Most of them are wives of business men, foremen, professional men and others, who have been called to the colors, but there are also women who have learned that we have nicg dogs for distribution and, - conseqdently, come looking for these faithful and trustworthy guardians, especially in view of the wholesale robberies and the sinister activities of numerous gangs of youthful thieves. As you know, a close watch has to be kept over the power belts in the factories to prevent thelr disappearance, as is also the case with lumber in the yards, and all kinds of goods in thé stores and warehouses. “Many women, whose husbands are at the Yront, are afraid to stay alone and wish at least to have a watchful animal with them to give warning of the presence of strangers at the door, through growling or barking. So the dog has become a much desired an!- mal, People willingly pay the $4 tax and don’t seem to worry about the problem of supplying the dog with food if they can thus get a keen-eared and loyal guardian, Such dogs are very dear now. A ‘Doberman’ costs from $90 to $200; shepherds, up to $120; coachdogs, up to $40; fox ter- riers, from $15 to $20, and pure-blood ‘Dackel,’ from $12 to $20.

In the first place, it is exceedingly porous. It is produced, by roasting wood, dried blood, or other organic material, and this roasting decomposes the material into two parts, one of them gasedus, which passes off from the retorts, and one of them solld, which remains be- hind as charcoal. Every minute cell of the wood and every part of a cell gives up some of the gas during the op- eration and thus leaves minute pores all through the material. ‘Thus the wood charcoal that we know is very bulky for Its weight and contains innumer- able fine pores, Now this highly por- ous charcoal has a remarkable prop- erty of absorbing certain kindseof sub- stances. “In the gas mask contaminated alr passes through a layer of highly ac- tive carbon before it reaches the mouth, and the poisonous material is absorbed: It is apparent that the more active the charcoal Is, the more the absorbing power can be packed into the small box on the front of the mask.

McDonald Candidate for 7 ALDERMAN Fifth Ward THE coLOR TH es NOT RUN “The colored troops fought bravely.” It does not matter whether this his- torfe report emerged from the Civil War or from one of the earlier strug- gles of the Republic. It has been his- torically true at all times. General Pershing reports from the field of France: “I cannot commend too high. ly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops who exhibit fine capac: ity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work.” In these words the American commanding of- ficer bears glad testimony to the brav- ery and devoted spirit of the American Negroes who are doing their full share for the defense of their country and the triumph of civilization and deniec- racy. It always has been so. In every war in which the United States has en- gaged, the report has been to the same effect as the historic message quoted: “The colored troops fought bravely.” In the Continental army, in the Am erican revolution, in the naval trium: phs of the War of 1812, in the struggle between North and South and finally in the brief contest with Spain, the American of African descent proved his valor and staying qualities. Now, in the greatest of wars and the greatest of duties, the Negro has conducted himself so as to win the ap probation of our greatest soldier.

They accomplished some in- erediblo thing—fought with skill and calmness as thelr wounds accumu- lated, substituted one weapon for an- other as their assailants crowded about them, finally best back a score and more of Germans before they sank unconscious at thelr posts as help came to them. For the arriving squads there was nothing to do ex- cept to carry them Back to the lines for transport to the hospital; these two',men had finished the job and Johnson's sole thought was of his duty: “Corporal London, turn out the guard!” were his first words when consciousness came back to him. They will get well of thelr wounds, but Rot as soon as they want to, and their only wish is to return to the trenches. Of them the French General, a sol- dier not unaccustomed to heroic and skilful military deeds, wrote to his superior: “The American report is too modest. As a result of oral information fur- nished to me it appears that the blacks were extremely brave and this little combat does honor to the American.” The Medical Diplomat By IMES MAC DONALD (Copyright, 1918, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) In consternation Holister sat back in his chair and polished his eyeglasses impatiently. "Not the country, Doc! For heaven's sake, not the country." "The country for yours," said Dr. Dubbs, positively. "Why not the seashore, Doc? Some nice place on the seashore?" "No seashore for yours, Hollister. I know that seashore stuff! Ragging around all day and eating and drinking all sorts of junk, and dancing half the night, drinking and eating more sorts of junk. You've got to go to a place where there's nothing to do after dark but go to bed so early that by the time the sun rises you're so tired of being in bed you want to get up. You're going to a place where you'll get enough physical labor to get your muscles and digestive apparatus into normal condition—where the food will be wholesome and plentiful enough to build up your degenerated tissues and make you keen for your work and your rest. And absolutely you're not to have an idea in your head for the whole six months. No man can keep up the mental pace and no-sleep strain that you have in the last ten years and last another ten. It can't be done." "I'm not all in yet, Doc. I can still do more work than seven men." "I'll make a little bet you can't plow more corn than seven men! And as far A man fishing in a stream with a woman sitting beside him. In the background, a man and a woman are sitting on a fence. She Leaned Forward. as your rotten paper is concerned, it can get along without its talented editor for a few months," added the doctor, sarcastically. "If you dled this very minute, they'd keep on getting out their morning editions just the same, you know." And so it happened that Hollist found himself on the Allison farm, some two miles' from Glenville, and forty miles from a town of any size at all on a certain morning in the middle of May. His status as a "paying-working guest" was somewhat of a puzzle to Pa Allison, who came in for a moment when Hollist ate his 9 o'clock breakfast and wondered if he ought to call him down for not getting up at 4 o'clock to help with the chores before the family breakfast at 5:30. But there were no more 9 o'clock breakfasts for Holister for some time to come. By the middle of July he was writing Dr. Dubbs that he was "strong as a horse—had gained twenty pounds—and guessed he was cured." The belligerent Doctor Dubbs headed him off imperatively, but two weeks later Holister wrote that he was "going bugs." He couldn't stand it any longer. He was feeling fine, but would soon be dead from the neck up. The mental inaction was unbearable—sweep that in another month his last brain would have departed. Couldn't he have a typewriter? Maybe he could start that novel he had in his head. But Dr. Dubbs sat on that proposition with decision and dispatch. A typewriter would mean too little sleep. Did he want to lose all he had so far gained by sticking to orders? However, for fear that Hollister would eventually kick over the traces, throw over the cure in its most critical stage, the wily Dr. Dubbs decided to call for assistance, and to that end sought out his favorite niece. "What do you say to a month in the country, Milly?" he asked that young woman, pinching her round arm. "Really?" she asked. "Do you mean it. Uncle Doc?" "Provided," said the doctor, judiciously. "Provided what?" she demanded curiously. "Provided you go where I send you—and do as you're told when you get there." And then the doctor explained about Holister. "And all I've got to do is to enter rain this nice man until you think he's ready to come back to his work?" she asked. "All you've got to do is to interest him and keep him interested. You must meet him in such a way that he can't help noticing you. He needs something to occupy his mind." "I'll feel like a vampire," she mused But she went. So a few days later Mildred Morrison was established as the star boarder on the Jackson farm on the other side of the road and a quarter of a mile below the Allison place. Holister heard of it at breakfast the next morning. Mr. Allison said that a right pretty looking city girl had come to board with the Jacksonons for a while, but he didn't think much about it until some time later in the week—the day he went fishing to be exact The weather was perfect and work had slackened enough so that Hollster felt that he could, take a day off with a clear conscience, so he walked through the woods and the fields to the Horton pond some three miles away. There at the grassy foot of a steep bank some ten or twelve feet high he made himself comfortable and set out a couple of lines. He was all unaware that Mildred had been stalking him for the past several days. She had seen him several times, but there had been no opportunity to meet him in any other than an ordinary way, and Mildred meant to obey Uncle Doc's orders if it was possible to do so. That afternoon in her wanderings she came to a fence that ran along the top of an unexpectedly high bank, and peering down discovered to her surprise the unsuspecting Hollster tending his lines. She leaned forward against the fence to get a better look at her victim. The old rotten posts gave way, and Mildred suddenly found herself describing a beautiful somersault that landed her most jolingly on her hands and knee at Hollister's side. He stared in startled surprise. "I-I just dropped in—to see if—if you were having any luck," she said dizzily, as soon as she could catch her breath. "I think," he said, relieved to see that she wasn't hurt, "I'm not sure but I think this is going to be the luckiest day of my life." He looked back up at the top of the bank from which she had descended upon him. "What circus were you graduated from?" he grinned. Mildred looked up at him from under her tumbled hair and Holister looked deep down into the offering of her glance—and from that instant neither he nor she nor the orders of Dr. Dubbs had anything more to do with it. In less than a week the neighbors had noticed it. In ten days Holister had succeeded in kissing Mildred after several false starts—and in three weeks Dr. Dubbs received a letter from Holister that made him snort. "Dear Doc.—You needn't think you've put anything over on me. You haven't. I put it over all by myself. As a matter of fact I don't care if I never come back to town. You see there was a wedding in these parts yesterday and your fair ambassador-ette has confessed all to yours truly. "HER HUSBAND." Battle Field Meeting. A New York woman attached to the American Red Cross happened to be in Paris and volunteered to help in taking care of the wounded coming in from the battlefield. She was working busily when startled by a loud cry of "Mother!" Turning, she saw her son, a young lieutenant in the United States army. He had been wounded in the leg by shrapnel. The first news she had had that her son was engaged in the battle was when she heard his cry. She obtained permission to accompany him to a hospital. After seeing that he was attended to she went back to the station to cheer, as she said, the boys who had no hope of finding a mother to welcome them. The mother is a prominent social worker in New York and has been doing Red Cross relief work among the refugees in France. Her work usually keeps her in the south of France. In the Sailor's Cap. A young sailor was evidently explaining things in the navy to his sweetheart, because as an illustration he removed his cap and turning it over disclosed inside a muslin lining drawn together by an elastic band. Then he demonstrated how a cap may be used as a pocket. He inserted his hand and drew out the following articles: A few letters, two packages of cigaret papers, a pocket comb, nail file, fountain pen, a dozen photographs and a bunch of cigaret coupons. It might be supposed his cap would be bulky and ill fitting with all these things in it, but it was not. The elastic band tightly drew the lining together so that on taking off the hat nothing fell out. It seemed comfortable on the sailor's head and he appeared highly satisfied. All He Wanted Frederick Harkness of Los Angeles was annoyed so much by flies in a room which he occupied in an up-state city hotel during the past summer that he summoned a boy to make a complaint. "Want your room changed, sir?" inquired the boy. "Room changed, no!" said Mr. Harkness. "It's the files I find fault with, nothing else." The boy reported to the proprietor of the hotel that Mr. Harkness was satisfied with his room, but that he wanted the files changed. WHEN FUR MEETS FABRIC I Winter Hats More Colorful T A splendid fabric appears at its best in the rich and stately wrap which is shown in the picture above. The design reveals an understanding by its creator of the fitness of fur fabrics to the making of ample and luxurious garments. This one is a long and beautiful draped cape to which sleeves have been added. The fur-fabric is an imitation of broad tail and it is finished with a marten collar and cuffs. Each serves to set off the other; the fur and the fur fabric are rivals in beauty. This is one of several very handsome wraps in which furs have been made up with fur fabrics with an effectiveness not equaled in the past. Among them there are long coats, in which very wide borders of genuine fur form half the length of the skirt portion and collar and cuffs are very large. A variety of plushes—which is the other name for fur fabrics—made up with a variety of furs, have resulted in some entirely new and very handsome coats, but nothing finer in design has been offered this season than Winter Hats For some reason the millinery of midwinter is more colorful and somewhat more elaborate than that which ushered in the fall season, although the simply trimmed hat cannot be outclassed. But variety is the spice of millinery as well as of life, and some of the latest arrivals in the assemblies of midwinter hats are far from simple. The hat at the center of the picture is an instance of this new departure. In the face of a vogue for sedate colors and meager trimming, its designer has chosen to be audacious and has vindicated her choice by making a beautiful hat. It is a picturesque model with a wide brim, faced with rose-colored crepe and edged with a double drill of velvet in that cool brown called "elephant." The brim is wider at the left side than elsewhere and has as the many graceful turns and curves as the edge of a flower petal. A whole company of small curling ostrich heads—which is the millinery name for little plumes—finds a resting place on it and they are of the same shade of brown. The crown is rather high and lifts at the left with a band of tucked belting ribbon about it in rose color. Just to show that quite a lot of trimming can be used successfully, rather large brown beads are set at wide intervals about the upper edge of the ribbon, and even the lovely little ostrich plumes are not left alone in their glory—brown Japanese aigrettes spring up among them. Another lovely midwinter hat, at the right of the picture, brings visions of theater parties—weddings and all sorts of bright assemblies. It is of taupe velvet faced with silk in three the regal wrap pictured. It covers its wearer from neck to shoe top, looks warm and is warm, and it is really a splendid achievement of the cloth manufacturer and the designer. One wonders where all the pelts come from that go to make up everpresent furs. It seems as if many species of animals must become extinct before long. In the meantime furfabrics are showing their ability to take the place of skins and may gradually replace them; at any rate they are already joining forces in making wraps that are everything we could wish for. A Slim-Over Blouse. A pretty slip-over blouse is of white dotted Swiss with deep circular yoke of white organdle, to which the dotted Swiss blouse and sleeves are attached. The organdle yoke is rounded out at the throat and finished only by a corded piping. Cuffs are of organdle and the long sleeves of dotted Swiss, Swiss and organdle are joined throughout the blouse with lines of hemstitching. More Colorful colors, pale rose, blue and lavender, in bands inside a border of taupe on the underbrim. It is one of the few very wide-brimmed hats that have flourished in the midst of much more numerous small ones. At the left a brown beaver hat with a crushed collar of velvet about the crown has only a fancy pompon of uncurled ostrich for ornament. Thief is a furore for beaver hats and therefore it is sure of as much consideration as its more trimmed rivals. Julia Bottomly Feel New Shoes Rule Soon The government ban on fancy shoes, which will limit the styles and delightful tints of milady's footwear, will begin to make itself felt in a short time. Cutting of the new shoes, according to classification, height and style, is said to have begun in factories throughout the country. Retailers and wholesalers are given until June 1 to dispose of their present stock of shoes at the present prices. After that time shoe dealers will carry only the regulation grades of shoes, ranging in price from $3 to $12, all of which will bear the government stamp, classifying them in the three grades, as follows: Class A, from $9 to $12; class B, from $6 to $8.50; class C, from $3 to $5.50. Fur and Beads. An astonishing Parisian turban, designed by Lucie Hamar, has a crown of kollinsky fur, while the rest is made up of gold beads twinkling through thin folds of crepe in soft brown, tomato red, and white. United States Did Not Seek Its Broad Influence. CHOSE TO BE KINDLY GIANT Wanted Only Peace and to Be Permitted a Fair Market—Hohenzol- lerns' Greed has Proved Their Undoing. (From the Committee on Public Informa tion, Washington, D. C.) BY ELLIS PARKER BUTLER. Every person of middle age, and those who have studied the matter even slightly of whatever age, cannot but be aware with what extreme reluctance the United States took its place as a "world power." Our whole instinct has been against becoming anything of the sort. We had no desire to meddle in the affairs of the world across the Atlantic. We had been urged by the founders of our nation to avoid foreign alliances—"entangling" ones were specified, but all foreign alliances are "entangling," or they are not alliances—and the advice lingered in our minds. Added to this was the fact that we were sufficient unto ourselves. We had abundant land, abundant food, and were able to consume more manufactured articles than we could produce. From the first the intent of the United States was to live quietly at home, attending to our own affairs, and pursuing happiness in our own way without bothering our neighbors. I might say that the United States, from the beginning, resolved to settle down to a quiet family life. I am not an old man, but I can remember when it was first printed, with something, like awe, in our newspapers, that we were growing at such a rate commercially and in population that we were actually becoming a world power. It was a new thing, a new thought. It was not unlike hearing that Johnny had got his first long pants when we had hardly thought of Johnny as anything but a small boy. The United States did not seek to be a world power; it simply grew to be one, as Johnny grows from boyhood to manhood. There was no intention, but it was inevitable. A nation with so many people and such industrious people, shipping goods to all parts of the world, became a world power by the mere process of growth. We did not seek the status; it came to us. Desired Only Peace. When we discovered that we were a world power in spite of ourselves we tried to decide how we would behave in this new state of being. We might build ourself a great army, swagger around and issue ultimatums, combine with other world powers and bully the world, if we chose. No American can ever be made to believe we did this, because we did not. We chose to be a kindly giant, a benevolent world power. We wanted nothing but peace, here or elsewhere. We had grown to manhood and the world knew we were strong, but we wanted nothing but to be permitted to stay on the old farm, doing an honest day's work each day, attending to our own affairs in our own way. From the world we asked only that we be permitted a fair market in common with other nations, and a safe road to market. In contrast with the manner in which the United States grew to world power I put Prussia. I say Prussia instead of Germany, because "Germany" outside of Prussia would never have thought of becoming a world power. "Germany," which was Bavaria and the many small states that Prussia hounded into the German empire, had no dreams of world powerfulness. Prussia had, Austria had, but the other Germanic states were quite satisfied to exist. Instead of Prussia I ought, perhaps, to say Hohenzollern, and by that I mean the Hohenzollern family that practically owned Prussia, as you own a flock of sheep or a farm or a pocketknife. The Hohenzollern family had a mania, and that mania was power for Prussia. Prussia must be the most powerful German state; more powerful than Bavaria, than Baden, more powerful than Austria. This was the fixed idea in the back of every Hohenzollern head. It originated, no doubt, with Frederick the Great, who left when he died the dictum, "Every Hohenzollern king of Prussia should add at least one bit of territory to Prussia." The Hohenzollern Dynasty. It is only fair to the first emperor of Germany (William I) that if left alone he would have been satisfied with the addition of Schleswig-Holstein, which he grabbed from Denmark. He was then only king of Prussia and he had done his share. He had added his bit. There was, however, Bismarck. Bismarck, even before he came into power in Prussia, had planned Prussia's future. First, Prussia must be the supreme power in Germania, then Germany must be the supreme power in the world. That was his life work; it was what Prussia pledged him she would do. And to Bismarck Prussia meant the Hohenzollern dynasty. With malice aforethought, with lies and trickery assisting his wonderful statecraft, with a war against Austria and a war against France as part of his plan for making Hohenzollernism a world power, Bismarck labored and won. He piled Bavaria and the lesser German states together, placed Prussia on top of them, and held the Hohenzollerns on the top of the whole pile. By show of armed strength (in which the war against Austria and the war against France were planned as exhibitions) he forced Hohenzollern into world powerfulness. Long before he died he planned another war against France as another exhibition of German strength. A reason for the new war? He had the same reason that a slave driver has when he drags an innocent black before the assembled slaves and beats her until she faints. Hohenzollernism must, every so often, show its power. The world must be kept cowed. The Difference. So you see how two nations have reached world power—the United States and the imperial Hohenzollern Germany. We grew; imperial Germany planned and schemed and forged bayonets. We are a world power because we are great in size and strength; Germany was a world power because she was a theater of murder. She was a world power because she carried at all times a bludgeon. Imperial - Prussian - Hohenzollern-Germany was a structure of bayonets; it existed, as Bismarck would brutally admit were he alive today, for the honor and glory of the Hohenzollerns, and for no other reason. It was to prove that Wilhelm Hohenzollern, king of Prussia, was a world power that Germany was driven into the war we are now fighting, and not to prove that Germany was a world power. Germany has paid a dear price for Hohenzollernism of the Wilhelm II variety. The world has paid a frightful price. Germany without the Hohenzollerns would be a great nation and a true world power. As it is, she is a bleeding, wounded, hungered tool. She is being used by a Hohenzollern-to prove that a Hohenzollern king of Prussia can do what he pleases with Prussian slaves and the slaves of Prussia. This is a Hohenzollern war. It was planned by Hohenzollerns to keep the Hohenzollerns of Prussia firmly seated on the throne, and for no other reason. Well. Where Does It? W. R. Secker, manager of the Lincoln hotel, says often he is regarded as a regular bureau of information, and like most hotel men is supposed to be a walking encyclopedia. Secker's son William often wishes to know the "whys" and "wherefores" of some almost unanswerable matters. "While putting Billie to bed the other night and on leaving the room, I switched out the light," he said. "Billie called me back saying: 'Daddy, turn on the lights again.' I obliged; then he asked me to turn out the light. "Then like a bolt out of a clear sky Billie queried: 'Daddy, where does the light go when you turn it out?'" According to Secker, the best he could do in the emergency was to say that Billie's mother would explain it all in the morning.—Indianapolis News. Eugenica and English Science Eugenics and English Science. Eugenics may be described as the study of agencies that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations, either physically or mentally, the declared aim being the betterment of the human race. The science was founded by Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911), a famous English statistician, anthropologist, and traveler. He distinguished himself by his remarkable work in anthropometry or measurements of the human body. For some years he conducted a system of anthropometrical records at South Kensington Museum, London, compiled from measurements taken from visitors to the museum. He founded the study of eugenics at University college, London. Has Floats Like Footballs. One of the newest types of life preservers consists of a belt to which are attached two or three inflatable units shaped like footballs. Each has a casing of properly reinforced duck, and is lined with a rubber bladder having a valve at one end for inflating it. The preserver weighs only about one and one-fourth pounds and when deflated can be carried in the pocket. Equipped with two bags, it has sufficient buoyancy for use in swimming, while the three-bag life preserver will sustain a person weighing 250 pounds in the water—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Dialects In British Isles Several languages and many dialects are spoken in the British isles. In Northern Scotland most of the people speak Gaelic, as they once did in Ireland, where the Gaelic language has been undergoing a revival in recent years. The Welsh have a distinct language of their own which is of Celtic origin. The Cornish people until far into the eighteenth century spoke a Celtic language very similar to that spoken by the people of Brittany in France. Nearly every shire of England has its peculiar dialect. Pretty Tall. A private in an Irish regiment and a life guardsman were "blowing" about the standard of height in their respective regiments. "Why," said the life guardsman, "one of our fellows is so tall that he can light his pipe at a lamp post." "Be jabers," retorted Pat. "Finnigan of D company, is so tall that the beggar has to get down on his knees when he wants to put his hands in his trousers pockets."—TitBits.

REPUBLICANS RAISE CRY There is the usual old alibi of "no money for political advertising," being raised by the Republican campaign managers. To hear their pleas of poverty would appeal to the sympathy and charity of the average listener, who did not know that it was an old game. The present campaign has been an expensive one, and the Negro papers have received very little consideration, while the dallies and white press in general have been flooded with advertising. No effort has been made along decent lines to interest the Negro voters, and the carpet-baggers, who manage things, have not even paid due respect to such Republican leaders as William T. Francis of St. Paul, and W. R. Morris of Minneapolis,"who is who" so far as the interest of the Negroes is concerned, than our new arrivals, many of whom are anxious to vote for their best interests, not having had such an opportunity before. There is no head or tail to the makeup of the campaign committee. Minnesota has been called the "battleground of the party" in the Congressional campaign, but it is really the garbage barrel. When it is considered that a few hundred votes of Negro citizens, kept Minnesota in the Republican ranks, it appears that they would be worth something to the winner. It would be advisable for Chairman Will M. Hays to organize the Republicans in Minnesota and not have a set of personal profiteers, who seem to represent the printers and bill posters more than the candidates. Many of these embryo managers undertake to tell Negro publishers why they should not publish advertising for other than Republican candidates, and attempt to claim possession of the Negro press, because of "what the Republican party has done for the Negro race," while every Negro editor in Minnesota was familiar with the principles and policies of loyal Republicians long before many of the forbears of these managers (?) had passed through the gates at Ellis Island. When the Republicans shall employ men and women of our race about their headquarters; appoint them to positions for political patronage; give them fair recognition as other citizens, not claiming their votes as personal property of the party, but realizing it is an important factor and a valuable asset, then they can depend on the Negro to stand by the Republican party. Until then, he will be an unknown quantity. J. A. B. SCHALL SEEKS RE-ELECTION Congressman Thos. D. Schall is a candidate for re-election. He has stood for everything for public good and used his best efforts to "win this war." Let us show our esteem for our Congressman by giving him a big vote at the next election. RE-ELECT SCHALL and VAN DYKE. Congressman Thos. D. Schall and Carl Van Dyke are candidates for re-election. They have proved faithful friends of our people and stand as ardent supporters of a winning-the-war policy and an adjustment afterwards, which will grant all men equal rights, privileges and opportunities. The Negro vote is an important factor. The candidate who does not get them, will be among the "also rans." CALDERWOOD IS ALL RIGHT. Atty. B. S. Smith speaks in highest terms of W. G. Calderwood, the candidate for Senator. They have been close friends since Mr. Smith has been in the Sykes block. Mr. Calderwood had no objections to "colored people occupying offices in that building," when others objected, and was the cause of Atty. Smith securing more desirable offices near him. He is an unprejudiced American and draws no color line. He is an advocate for the uplift of all humanity and would well represent us as our Senator. ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY MADE GOOD Argued. Against "The Birth of a Nation." Atty. R. S. Wiggins, assistant city attorney, who is a candidate for the Municipal Bench, will be remembered as the people's representative, who so successfully argued against the "Birth of a Nation," in the Dlstrict Court. He made such a strong showing before the State Supreme Court, that the opinions in the decision against the film from Minnesota, were used effectively to prevent its being shown in many other cities. Mr. Wiggins is able to boast of an ancestry whose identification with leading abolitionists, is a record, he can point to with pride. His father was one of the first teachers of Negro slaves in the days of the "Underground Railroad." He is congenial, conservative and well qualified to be a Municipal Judge. We notice that many of the newcomers from the South are becoming paid subscribers to the Twin City Star. They have been accustomed to patronizing their own newspapers, where the real news of the Negro is published.

He is well qualified, having served in the Engineers Corps, U. S. A., and recently had charge of the building of the Jefferson Highway. Mr. Deterly is an active citizen and does things for the civic advancement of the community. He is popular in fraternal circles and did his bit to win the war by instructing the drafted boys in military training; also is the captain of the Citizens' Auxiliary to the Sheriff. He shows no partiality on account of race or color and boasts of his friendship with many leading and loyal citizens of all nationalities. We are living in an age and an epoch which is characterized by a growing and insistent demand for justice and democracy. The United States is sending men, money and munitions to the battle fields of Europe as its demand for justice, freedom and equality of opportunity for all peoples, and it would be well for the Americans at this time to remember that here in our own country for the past fifty years since the abolition of slavery, is a race loyal, patriotic people who are not enjoying at the hands of this government here at home the principles of that democracy for which we are fighting to make the world safe, and in which fight God helping us, we will be victorious.

Burnquist and the Republican Ticket Prepared and Inserted by Hennepin County Republican Committee Prepared and inserted by the Hennepin County Republican Committee, for which $18.00 is to be paid. Walter H. Newton for Congress. Voters of the Fifth Congressional district owe it to themselves, to Minneapolis, to all men in the nation's service and to the flag to repeat and make intensive the rebuke administered at the primary election to the man who has misrepresented the district for nearly two years. The logical, effective, memorable way to do this is to elect Walter H. Newton by the largest plurality ever given a candidate in the district. We believe the voters purpose doing that very thing, but it cannot be done unless each loyal citizen makes it his special, paramount day's duty to cast a ballot next Tuesday. Voters of the Fifth district are too intelligent and too discriminati-g in their patriotic sense to be hoodwinked by special partisan pleadings at this time. The very great majority of them, we are sure, will put principle above party, loyalty above mere personalities, ability above availability in the making of their decision at the polls. The mere fact that Mr. Newton's opponent has behind him the acknowledged support of the Van Lear Socialists and their kindred elements should be enough to bring about the overwhelming election of Mr. Newton. Every vote for him will be a vote in rebuke of the party to which Mayor Van Lear belongs—the party that officially, in its platform, declares this "the most unjustifiable war of all modern history" and "a crime against the people of the United States." There are other weighty reasons, however, why Mr. Newton should be sent to Congress at this time. Leaving aside the question of character, which in the case of Mr. Newton is irreproachable, he is well equipped by study, experience, temperament and mental discipline to become either a war-time or peace-time national lawmaker. He believes this is pre-eminently a day for the exaltation of statesmanship and for an avoidance of demagoguery. His forward-looking is sanely directed because his sympathies are broad, because he understands fundamental aspirations and because he glimpses the future in the light of the mistakes as well as the wisdom of the past. He is pledged to do his best in support of the nation's righteous war aims without partisan bias and to do what lies in his power to make ours a truer and better democracy. Nor is it unimportant, in view of these qualifications, that he is a Minneapolis product with a long-time heart interest in the physical, moral and social welfare of the community. J. B. E. B. B.

To the Public: Not having the time to see many of my friends personally, owing to the fact that my time is taken up in my regular duties at the office, I avail myself of this means of communicating with you concerning a matter of vital importance to me, namely, the re-election of Mr. Langum. I think you will agree with me that Sheriff Langum's past record speaks for itself. He has in the past been confronted with many preposing problems, but has, by the exercise of good judgment, succeeded in doing his duty without force and with the least possible interference to all concerned. Sherif Langum has, during all of these trying times, had but one object in view, that of maintaining peace and protection of property, leaving the settlement of disputes to the parties directly involved. Sherif Langum has permitted no discrimination on account of race in the County Jail, where all prisoners are treated equally. In view of this, and the fact that I have for some years been one of Mr. Langum's co-workers, knowing him as I do, I have no hesitancy in saying to you that during all this time he has shown himself just and square in his official duties, always willing to aid and assist where possible; and if ever an official was worthy of public confidence it is Sherif Langum, who has the confidence of, and is entitled to, unstinted support by the citizens of this community. Therefore I ask your active support in his behalf from now until election, assuring you that such action would not alone be highly appreciated by myself, but in my opinion you would be doing a wise act for the community as a whole. Sincerely yours, JOHN H. ALLISON. Political Advertisement—Prepared and published by John H. Allison, Minenapolis, in behalf of Sheriff Otto S. Langum, for which he has paid the sum of $10.00. PETER H. JUDGE W. W. BARDWELL. It is a privilege and an honor for every Negro to vote for Judge Bardwell of the Municipal Court for election to the District bench. He is an exceptionally good judge, and has given more than the ordinary consideration to our people. He has been merciful in several cases, where offenders, have benefited by his lenency. Aided the Negro Elks. Judge Bardwell was a delegate to the Grand Lodge of the white Elks, when the question of "rights of Negroes to form lodges and use emblems of the white Elks" was an important issue. He had an interview with the Star, which was published long ago, and was active in bringing about the present harmony between the Grand Lodges, and the matter is—after certain adjustments—a closed incident. We need judges who are merciful, just, intelligent and impartial. Winnifred W. Bardwell measures up to this standard. Remember, "Bardwell for District Judge." The War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities has made provision for the entertainment of a labor battalion of about 1,000 colored troops which has been sent to Camp Kearney, Linda Vista, Cal., for sanitation work around the camp. This battalion is made up of colored men unfit for overseas duty by reason of minor physical disabilities. rs es William A.

Brooks, one of the’ lead- ing business men of Minneapolis, is the president of the Aero Club, whose motto, “Help Win the War in the Air,” has resulted in the location of an aviation field and training school for mechanics fn this city. The record which Mr. Brooks has made in public affairs, through his ef- forts in behalf of the Aero club, Lib- erty Loan and Red Cross campaigns, has brought him prominently before the public and many of his friends, Make City Aviation Center. “In other words, we want Minne- apolis on the aviation map, and when the carrying of mail by the air route 4s {naugurated we want Minneapolis to be a successful bidder for the prin- ‘cipal landing station in this vicinity. T also believe that in the near future the manufacturing of aeroplanes will become as important an industry in the United States as the manufacturing of automobiles was a decade ago, and that the business men of Minneapolis and all the various trade and labor as- soctations of our city will, when this war 1s over, take steps to establish in ‘Minneapolis factories for thig purpose which will be a credit to the city and bring to our community a most {m- portant and valuable industry which will give splendid employment to many thousands, of our trade and la- bor people.” feeling the importance of having in the state Senate men whose loyalty could not ‘be questioned, whose judgment is sound, and who can honestly and ef- ficlently serve the community, have prevailed upon Mr. Brooks to stand as a candidate for senator from the ‘Thirty-first district, composing the Fifth and Sixth wards. Mr. Brooks has lived in Minneapolis for 48 years and has been a resident of the Fifth ward for 20 years. He has never heretofore sought office. Since 1887 he has been identified with the lumber business, and has also been actively interested in many civic matters. He has recently been instru- mental with a few other citizens in securing the franchise of the ‘Minne- apolis baseball club. Regarding the future activities of the Aero club, Mr. Brooks says: “Of course, at the present time all our thought and attention is centered on winning the war. But some day this war will be over and when that day comes there is no department of business that will prosper and develop, we believe, so rapidly as commercial aviation and we, as citizens of Min- neapolis, must be in a position to take advantage of the situation and have the city of Minneapolis receive all the possible benefit therefrom, @MOKE THE RELIABLE SMOKE THE RELIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR THAT'S ALL!

He and a friend were paddling up the Magalloway river one day shortly after September 12, that big day when 18,000,000 men went quietly to registration places throughout the United 13,000,000 men went quietly to registration places throughout the United States to sign up for Uncle Sam. 2014 Buck, a backwoods guide, constituted the third occupant of the canoe. Was he backwoods? He was so far backwoods, it is declared, that beyond him was nothin'. They don't come any more backwoodsy than Buck. A young old fellow, gray-haired, tanned, quiet, determined, there is only one Buck in the world, friends say. They were going through the "big eddy," when all of a sudden, out of the clear sky, came the sounds of firing. "What's that?" said one camper. Buck took a few paddles before he answered. "Couple o' Bangor sports," he replied. A "Bangor sport," by the way, is the backwoods term for some sportsmen who frequent the big woods. They usually are blustery fellows, who affect to make comrades of the guides, who, in their turn, secretly despise the sports. Sure enough, there on a promontory could be seen the sports. One was fishing for trout, while the other, with a .32 rifle, was popping away at a target. The "Bangor sports" could not as yet see the canoe and its occupants. Then the canoe rounded into sight of the men. The man with the rifle lowered his piece and looked across the eddy. "Well, well, well!" he shouted, familiarly. "If there ain't old Buck! How are you, Buck? Have you registered in the draft, Buck?" If the question was meant as a slur on Buck's age, it didn't work. The guide shot the canoe forward. "You bet I'm registered," he called across the water. "An' I ain't wastin' no ammunition on this side, either." Those "Bangor sports" haven't thought up a reply yet. Small Girl, Japanese Tooter and the Conductor Small Girl, Japanese Tooter and the Conductor THERE is a new toy—made in Japan—which looks like a lead pencil and sounds like a horn. Everybody—leaving out old man Scrooge—accepts a Christmas horn as a forgivable crime, but it was perfectly obvious that every passenger on the car wanted to choke off a small girl who tooted her way from Capitol hill to Center market the other forenoon. Her presumable mother bore the affliction with a chronic patience characteristic of parents who are too mistakenly fond to make their youngsters behave, but the passengers around were not so placidly resigned. Two jolly, commonplace women, each loaded with empty baskets and cord bags, had things to say on the subject, and they said them good and loud: off a small girl who tooted her way from Capitol hill to Center market the other forenoon. Her presumable mother bore the affliction with a chronic patience characteristic of parents who are too mistakenly fond to make their youngsters behave, but the passengers around were not so placidly resigned. Two jolly, commonplace women, each loaded with empty baskets and cord bags, had things to say on the subject, and they said them good and loud: "I like kids all right, but if that young one belonged to me I'd spank her so hard that——" "What can you expect with a mother like that?" The two marketers got out at Seventh street and the horn virtuoso slipped into a window seat one of them had vacated and sounded a farewell to jubilation. It was also what you might call her swan song, for the conductor, goaded to intervention, politely invited the young miss to consider her recital at an end. To the gasp astonishment of everybody around—and just to show that it takes all sorts of people to make up a car crowd—a fat, little old body in badly laundered white, topped with a rose pink sweater, charged a lance in behalf of the breaker of the peace. "Let the child play if she wanster! Don't you know that the angels in heaven play horns? If you don't, I can show you a picture of little winged cherubs a-blowing gold——" "That's all right, lady. I haven't got a thing to do with running heaven, but I'm expected to look after this car." "Young man, you think you're mighty smart, don't you? But let me tell you something.. If you was to see that picture——" "I know all about 'em, lady. Little angels, all heads and wings, and not a lung in the lot to blow with." Somebody chuckled and the small girl discarded the horn thing to consider the conductor with lavish smiles—of the teeth-shedding variety. And all was peace. Little Incident in a Washington Antique Shop Little Incident in a Washington Antique Shop MOST people are honest, but it is the exception that gives pungency to the rule. One man, for one instance, keeps medieval junk. Among his customers the other afternoon was a woman who wanted a table, something in Chimpendale to match a whatnot. The Chippendale to match a whatnot. The proprietor was starting off to bring forth Chippendale when the woman, seeing a chair convenient, sat down. BREAKIN THIS WILL COST YOU $20 I'LL NOT PAY IT! Spindle-legged furniture is artistic but treacherous, as the lady should have remembered before she weighted her overstock of too, too solid etcetera, on spidery legs that cracked the instant she let herself go. The tag price of the chair was something awful—though as the proprietor protested what could you expect of a treasure that had had its honored place in an Italian palace for over two hundred years, but if the lady would pay $20 for the damage she had done—— And then another customer who had been looking the chair over stepped into the situation. "I happen to be in the business myself and know the exact value of this chair. Without going into embarrassing particulars, let me suggest, madam, that you pay this man 15 cents for his time and trouble in mending it; and if you hear any more from him let me know and I'll go into court myself with a charge of false pretenses. It is fraud of this sort, sir, that ruins any trade. Better come out with me, madam, and the next time you want antiques take an expert along." Psychological Study of Sweet Potato in Capital Psychological Study of Sweet Potato in Capital ADVENTURES of a Sweet Potato in Washington." Sounds as if it might be the title of a novel about a war worker, but it isn't. It merely has to do with the flight and landing of a sweet potato thrown by an urchin at a street car conductor on the Eleventh street line. A The car was going gaily downtown when, all of a sudden, a hefty sweet potato came whirling through an open window, missed an elderly lady by an inch and landed squarely on the shoulder of the conductor. There you have all the elements for a psychological study. Given the sweet potato, the small boy, the ability to throw and the mark—to wit, the conductor—what more would a psychologist ask? "Ah, ha!" sayeth the psychologist. "I will proceed to study the effect of said sweet potato and its integral flight upon the various personalities of this novel—or, street car." TALES FROM BIG CITIES Finds a Five Hundred Dollar Ring in a Giant Codfish SAN FRANCISCO—Seafaring men, friends of H. C. Dally, a fisherman who has just returned from Bering Sea, contend along the waterfront here that Dally is entitled to a medal with a palm or two on it, and for two reasons. Either he is the luckiest man that ever Either he is the luckiest man that ever went fishing, or he is the biggest fishing trip Ananias in or out of captivity. But let Daily tell his own story. OH LOOK! "See this ring?" he asked the other day of a small group of friends, at the same time exhibiting a solitaire diamond in platinum setting that had evidently been worn by a woman, and which was inscribed "From C. to J." upon the inside. "It's a daisy, isn't it?" was Dally's next question, which he answered himself by saying: "It sure is, and I'll tell ye how I got it. I was up in the Bering sea cleaning codfish at the rate of three a minute and paying no particular attention to anything else, when suddenly I picked up the biggest codfish I'd ever seen in me lifetime. He was a beauty, too. Fat? The fattest I'd ever handled. "All right, mates. I plumped by knife into him and was just about to pass him along when something shiny in his 'inards' caught my eye. It was this ring. Yes, sir; this same sparkler that I'm a-showin' you. "Now, lads; how'd that ring get in that fish's stomach? Whose ring is it, or whose was it, anyway? I'm willing to return the ring to the owner, but ownership must be satisfactorily established, as the stone alone is worth $500, a jeweler tells me. Yes, sir, 500 beans—simoleons—plasters." "I'm going to look up a brainy newspaper feller—if there are any brainy ones left, now that the smart guys are all at the front or getting ready to go there—and have him write a story about it, and mebbe I'll get a nice reward, anway, if the owner is found." Akron Deaf-Mute's Experience in an Army Camp AKRON, OHIO.—One of the most interesting army experiences that has come from any training camp is the one that has just been reported of Hinton Wilson, a rubber worker employed by a local tire company, who for a month was detained at Camp Sherman, suspected of shamming deafness to avoid conscription. WHEN I SAY WHEN I SAY HALT I MEAN IT. YA HEAR ME! DON'T TALK BACK EITHER- Wilson is one of about 500 deaf-mutes doing their bit in a factory, working on war materials that are helping to equip our armies in France. "I was registered in Atlanta," Wilson said after his release, using sign language, "but requested a transfer where I was working. One night I found a squad of husky khaki-clad lads awaiting my return from work, who became incensed at my inability to answer their questions, and unceremoniously hauled me before the examining surgeon. I was pronounced physically sound and the next morning was hustled off to camp, where the boys, taking their cue from the officers, regarded me as a contemptible slacker. "Fortunately a deaf brother of one of the boys paid a visit to the camp, and, after talking with me in sign language, assured my comrades that I was deaf. Their attitude toward me immediately changed and they treated me royally thereafter, doing everything possible to make things pleasant for me. "They waked me at reverille and usually connived to get me in the second rank at drills, so that my mistakes would not be so readily observed by the officer, and that I might have the advantage of imitating the movement of the men in the front rank. But occasionally I landed in the front rank, and I suppose I am fortunate that I could not hear the bawlings out I received from the officer when I marched blithely forward while the rest of the company executed a 'right about face.'" "Ernie, the Bug Shooter," Now Eleven-Year-Old Thug KANSAS CITY.—The glare of the arc light at Twelfth and Charlotte streets four years ago disclosed a small boy seated on the curbing. His chubby fists grasped a revolver, his fingers tugging at the trigger. The officers heard a childish cry "Up hands—beetles!" The boy smiled as a patrolman jerked him to his feet. Ernest Hardwick, seven years old, living at 620 East Twelfth street, with his "mamma and step-papa," said he "wanted to be a hold-up mans." Since then the boy has been known as "Ernie, the Bug Shooter." In 1914 he stole a coat belonging to a woman neighbor. In 1915 Ernest was peroled from the McCune Home. The boy smiled as a patrolman jerked him to his feet. Ernest Hardwick, seven years old, living at 620 East Twelfth street, with his "mamma and step-papa," sald he "wanted to be a hold-up mans." Since then the boy has been known as "Ernie, the Bug Shooter." In 1914 he stole a coat belonging to a woman neighbor. In 1915 Ernest was paroled from the McCune Home. Then Ernest was arrested for stealing a box of candy. A month later he took three packages of tea from a grocer. And in another month he robbed a creamy company of several butter packages. His parole was revoked, but he escaped from the home. Ernest pleaded guilty the other day to robbing a jewelry store, a saleon and a cigar store. He was assisted by two other boys, Paul E. Buck, nine years old, 1016 Locust street, and James Swearingen, nine years old, 4342 West Prospect place. In a "play house" in the back yard of 816 Locust street the police recovered most of the stolen articles. "I'm the oldest—eleven years," Ernest told the judge. "I've got more sense than they. Send me to jail, judge, but don't be hard on Jimmie and Paul—they ain't to blame." Judge Southern sentenced Ernest to the McCune Home for four years. Jimmie and Paul were paroled to their mothers. "Ernest," said Mrs. Swearingen, "Mrs. Buck and I want to thank you——" "Gwan," said "Ernie." Milwaukee Has Young Amateur Probation Officer MILWAUKEE—To be a probation officer, one should start very young. At least that was the information revealed in Judge Karel's juvenile court when Jimmie, fourteen years old, faced the tribunal on a charge of exercising "a little too much authority." It was charged he had punished Billy, a ten-year-old boy. WOW However, had Jimmie not repeated the process of punishing Billy the case might never have been brought to light. While playing near North avenue and Fortieth street Billy spied a pile of cement blocks and not seeing any one near he proceeded to smash up one of the blocks. That was his sin. Jimmie, the ardent protector of property holders' rights, the amateur slenth and probation officer, was leaning against a post with his bicycle by his side. When Billy surterted down the street, Jimmie rode after him. "My father's a detective," Jimmie said when he reached Billy. "I saw you breaking those blocks. You must either go with me to the detention home or take a licking." But Billy was in fear of the detention home, so choosing the lesser of two evils he decided to take the "licking." He was to meet Jimmie the next day to receive his punishment. At the appointed time Billy was there and accompanied Jimmie to Washington park, where in a clump of bushes he felt the blaws of the "law." He was then made to report with his reader. This time he was taken to a pond on the West side where, after removing his clothes, he sat, according to orders, and read to Jimmie. However, his reading was not quite "up to scratch." Jimmie said, and as a result Billy was tied to a tree and left alone. He was found by a schoolteacher and a complaint was filed against Jimmie. Jimmie was released on probation after he promised to behave and not W ↑ D An American steam laundry going close to the lines to clean and sterilize the underwear and uniforms of our soldiers.

"A hard biscuit and a slice of cold salt beef," which Dana mentions in "Two Years Before the Mast" as his usual meal after a long, hard watch off Cape Horn, is no longer the diet of the American merchant sailor. OOKING at sea is not what it used to be in the "good old days" that we read about. "A hard biscuit and a slice of cold salt beef," which Dana mentions in "Two Years Before the Mast" as his usual meal after a long, hard watch off Cape Horn, is no longer the diet of the American merchant sailor. The modern sailor man is well fed, with plenty of fresh meat, vegetables and soft bread, no matter what the voyage he may be on. Modern refrigerating plants and modern cooking methods are to be thanked for that. On the hundreds of new ships which are being built for the merchant marine by the United States shipping board careful attention is paid to the equipment for storing, cooking and serving food. The government is fully aware that sailors, like soldiers, work best on well-filled stomachs. Care is taken also that efficient men are employed as cooks on the nation's new merchant fleets. Good sea cooks are not numerous, even in normal times. Having that fact in mind, the United States shipping board, with the thoroughness that marks all its efforts to create an unequal merchant marine, is engaged in training an adequate number of cooks to man the galleys of its new ships. Young men of character and intelligence are chosen for instruction. The training of cooks is part of the work done by the shipping board's recruiting service. This service has a fleet of training ships, based at Atlantic and Pacific ports, on all of which young Americans are taught by experienced cooks the serious business of preparing good food at sea. Besides that, the board has special cooking schools on two of the ships—the Meade, a former Atlantic liner stationed at Boston, and the steamer Dorothy Bradford, stationed at New York. Cooking at sea is by no means the same thing as cooking on land. The sea cook has several things to bear in mind that the land cook, in hotel, restaurant or home kitchen never has to think about. Take for instance some of the precautions he must observe as illustrated by the following "Don'ts for Sea Cooks." Don't fill a kettle full of liquid. The rolling of the ship will cause the contents to stop over and with fats may start a fire. Don't allow pots and pans to get adrift. As a guard against this, the galley range has an iron, rail around it. Don't permit dishes to be left on dresser or pantry shelf as on land. If you do they will slide off and be smashed. There are little pigeon holes for each kind, into which the dishes fit, there being a high bar across the front, with a space cut out through which a dish may be reached and lifted out. On modern ships the serving is done by men in the steward's department, called stewards, so the sea cook of today needs none of that dexterity of foot that one-legged John Silver showed as he pegged his way aft with dinner along the slippery deck in the brig of "Treasure Island." It is a trulism aboard ship that only a cook who likes his job is worth his salt. A discontented cook will spot good food. This psychology is recognized by the shipping board in choosing young men for training as cooks. Only those who volunteer for the job are wanted. There are plenty who do. Out of 3,000 apprentices always on the training ships a certain percentage may be counted on to ask for training as cooks. These young men are serving on the nation's "bridge of ships" from patriotic motives. Some may go back to their home towns when the war is over; but others will remain in the merchant marine, and will take a part in the country's peace expansion at sea as dignified as that taken by captain, mate or engineer on the ship on which they serve. Nor will they suffer in a financial way, for a chief cook gets $90 a month wages, be- --- Nothing Changed But the Price Sight Drafts Still the Same Fine Old Cigar You're Always Liked When your dealer asks you six cents apiece for your old friend Sight Draft, don't get the idea that he is trying to put something over on you. The plain truth of the matter is that our labor and other manufacturing costs have increased so much that we had the choice of cutting down the size of the Sight Draft cigar, using inferior tobacco, or raising the price one cent. We believed you would rather have the same old Sight Draft quality, the same old size, even if it cost you a penny more. So, from now on Sight Drafts will be six cents. Try a Sight Draft today. It's worth six cents, and you experienced smokers KNOW it is. W. K. Grash & Song, makers. W. S.

When the young law student, or bank teller, or blacksmith's helper who has decided to become a sea cook reports for instruction on the Mende or the Bradford he is taken in hand by a wise old chef who proceeds to teach him the A, B, C's of sea cooking. These embrace some general rules as to cleanliness and general galley practice, neatly typewritten, under the head "Advice to the Cook." The most particular housewife will find these rules sound. Here are a few of them: Great cleanliness, as well as care and attention, are required from a cook. Keep your hands very clean. Try to prevent your nails from getting black or discolored. Don't scatter in your galley; clean up as you go; put scalding water into each saucepan or stewpan as you finish using it. Dry your saucepans before you put them on the shelf. It is the ambition of most sea cooks to get on big ship. In wartime, cooking on the small vessel is an essential calling, but the big vessel with its modern equipment and efficiency organization appeals strongly to the type of young man now taking up sea cooking for Uncle Sam. The large vessels carry several cooks. A 5-ton freighter has a chief cook, a second cook, is also baker, and a third cook, or cook's mate. The chief cook is usually the meat cutter and in these times scientific meat cutting, as is cooking, is required on the merchant fleet taught in the shipping board's floating cook schools. WOMEN ARE GOOD MECHANICS. According to a report of the national industry conference board, women in wartime employment are showing a remarkable adaptability for china shipbuilding. Never scrub inside of a frying pan; rub it with wet silver-sand, rinse it out well with hot water afterwards. Wash your pudding elths, and hang them to dry directly after using them; air them before you put them away, or they must be musty. Keep in a dry place. Be careful not to use a knife that has cut onions until it has been cleaned. Keep sink and sink-brush very clean; be careful never to throw anything but water down sink. Do not throw cabbage water down it; throw it away, as its small is very bad. Never have sticky plates or dishes. Use very hot water for washing them; when greasy change it. Clean coppers with turpentine and fine brickdust, rubbed on with fannel; polish them with chamois and a little dry brickdust. Clean your tins with soap and whiting mixed, made into a thick cream with hot water. Rub it on with fannel; when dry, whisk it off with clean chamois and dry whiting. Take care that you look at the meat the butcher brings, to see if it is good. Let there be no waste in the kitchen. In Uncle Sam's school for sea cooks instruction begins, logically, with cereals for breakfast. It happens that the instruction chef on the Bradford is a Scot, and when Jamie Nicol gets through teaching a new hand the art of cooking oatmeal there is nothing further to be said. The novice is next shown how to fry eggs and bacon, how to make hash and how to prepare hamburg steak. These are his first steps. He next gets a chance at dinner, with making soups and roasting and boiling meats and cooking various kinds of vegetables. In this work he learns the mysteries of the big galley range — a mighty stove, near seven feet long—of the steam kettle that will cook soup for 100 men and of the steam-oven cooker for vegetables. If he is ambitious, the beginner takes a special course in baking and pudding making, for real puddings take the place of the traditional soggy duff of old times on Uncle Sam's merchant ships. Rice pudding is a favorite. Lucky is the young man who learns to cook rice from a veteran who acquired the art on a trader out of Rangoon or a clipper from Calcutta. "Never put your rice into the kettle until the water is boiling, then scatter it in." That is the standard rule for rice. "Then we tell 'em to be sure never to put in the sugar until the rice is done," says the chef. It has been found that six weeks of intensive training will make a very good sea cook of a beginner if he shows proper aptitude. "We can tell the natural cook," says Jamie Nicol, "by the questions he asks. The good beginners ask all about everything and make notes. We have a number who put everything they want to remember down in a book. They will make good." It is the ambition of most sea cooks to get on a big ship. In wartime, cooking on the smallest vessel is an essential calling, but the big vessel with its modern equipment and efficiency organization appeals strongly to the type of young man now taking up sea cooking for Uncle Sam. The large vessels carry several cooks. A 5,000-ton freighter has a chief cook, a second cook, who is also baker, and a third cook, or cook's mate. The chief cook is usually the meat cutter also, and in these times scientific meat cutting, as well as cooking, is required on the merchant fleet and taught in the shipping board's floating cooking schools. WOMEN ARE GOOD MECHANICS According to a report of the national industrial conference board, women in wartime employment are showing a remarkable adaptability for machine shop work. The report summarizes information obtained from 131 establishments employing 335,015 men and 49,823 women and including 10,657 women engaged in work formerly performed exclusively by men. Their labor, says the Christian Herald, has ranged from the operation of drill presses and lathes to coremaking, inspecting and assembling mechanical products and performing many precise machine operations. In the main it has been confined to the lighter processes requiring rapidity and dexterity, and in such work their output has proved equal to and frequently greater than that of male employees. This was notably true of women's work in automobile manufacture and in a munition plant manufacturing fuses, where women operatives on drill presses and milling machines were from 25 to 50 per cent more rapid than men. SINGLE SHOES NOW SOLD IN LONDON. One of the many pathetic side lights on our war is reflected in advertisements published by British shoe merchants, which vividly impress upon one's mind the sacrifices that many of our sons and their comrades are gallantly making. Owing to the large number of crippled veterans of the western front, London dealers in men's footwear now sell single shoes for one-half the prices of pairs. To quote an advertisement that recently appeared in a fashionable illustrated magazine: "Wartime boots at 26/3 a pair or 13/2 a boot. The single boots, rights or lefts, are for those men who have been so unfortunate as to lose a leg."—Popular Mechanics Magazine. AMERICANS BUYING DIAMONDS. Among facts disclosed in the investigation conducted by the council of national defense to learn the buying trend in civilian trade during the war are a decided increase in sales of small diamonds and a falling off in sales of sizes from one-half curat upward. This is attributed to the great increase in price and the tendency of people to buy diamonds by price alone; that is, they have, perhaps, $75 or $100 to put in a stone, and it brings them a much smaller jewel than the same amount would procure a year or two ago. Watches are in great demand, especially wrist watches, which have been enormously popularized by the war. CALLING A HALT. "Senator Fudge relates an amusing anecdote—" "If it's new, all right.

FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, BILB. W. WERNER Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 3 LESSON TEXT—Genesis 25:27-34. GOLDEN TEXT—Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a cor- intrigue. Now you have no incorruptible.—I Corinthians 9:25. DEVOTIONAL READING—Romans 14:13-23. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS—I Corinthians 8:1-13; 10:23-33; Hebrews 12:15-17. 1. Boys With a Difference (v. 27). Esau and Jacob were in decided contrast. They differed in appearance and disposition. Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. They were born that way. Every child born into the world possesses a peculiar bent which we call individuality. No two are exactly alike, even twins like Esau and Jacob. The wise parent, the wide-awake teacher, the educator, seeks diligently to discover that peculiar individuality, and to give it direction according to the laws of its own being. This bent is the basis of character. Neither Esau nor Jacob is an ideal personality. Both are selfish. II. Parental Favoritism (v. 28). Isaac loved Esau because he did eat of his venison. He ought to have loved him because he was his son; but it is a sad commentary upon a father that his love for his son had such a sordid basis as that of his stomach. Isaac, however, was like many today whose love is secured through their appetites. Rebecca loved Jacob, though we are not told why. Perhaps it was because of his cunning. In this respect he was like his mother, who practiced craftsmith to a finish on her husband. Cleverness is a bond which strongly binds together many people. Many hold the respect of their friends because of their shrewdness, irrespective of their moral qualities. Parents should treat their children alike. To show partiality is both unwise and unjust. Even when children possess peculiar qualities which call forth parental affection, it should never be made manifest that preference is made. III. A Birthright Sold (vv. 29-34). 1. Essau's profanity (Heb. 12:16-17). He sold his birthright for a bowl of potriage. The birthright was the right of being at the head of the patriarchal family, a position of honor and influence, as well as being the inheritor of a double portion of the father's estate. This being a gift of God should not be despised. He came from hunting physically exhausted. In this moment of distress, he thought only of that which promised immediate satisfaction. He was willing to rellinquish all claim upon the future, if only his present desire could be gratified. A profane person is one who for the enjoyment of the present will forfeit all claim upon the future. He would gladly gain both worlds, but seeing that mess of potriage he lets go of the future for the present. Swearing is profanity, but not the most common. To be under the sway of appetite is to be profane. What profanity about us! For a moment's sinful pleasure men and women are throwing away innocence, happiness, and their souls eternally. This is most serious, for acts are irreverable. 2. Jacob's cunning. It was right that Jacob should have the birthright, for it was according to God's plan which had been pronounced (v. 23), but his scheme to get it is to be condemned. He took advantage of his brother's weakness to drive a sharp bargain. The same thing is practiced when under the force of necessity unlawful interest is exacted, or property is bought under price because one is obliged to sell. To get rich at the expense of another is to practice Jacob's sin. Modern competitive business methods to a decided extent are of this type. Let each one ask: "Is my name Jacob?" The end never justifies the means. God said that the elder should serve the younger. It was his plan that Jacob should be at the head, but God was able to bring his own plans to pass. He did not need the scheming of Jacob and his mother to further his plans. To do evil that good may come is always wrong. Understanding the Bible I believe that the Bible is to be understood in the plain and obvious meaning of its passages; for I cannot persuade myself that a book intended for the instruction and conversion of the whole world should cover its true meaning in any such mystery and doubt that none but critics and philosophers can discover it.—Daniel Webster. Public Good. There never was found in any age of the world, either religion or law that did so highly exalt the public good as the Bible.—Bacon. With Christ's Aid. With the power of Christ perfected in my weakness, I am equal to every temptation, competent for every duty, equipped for every struggle, the master of every fear.—W. L. Watkinson.
