Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT ELEVENTH YEAR For State Treasurer E. Webb, Former Treasurer Of Sedgwick County Enters As A Candidate For State Treasurer A Strong Candidate The candidacy of no man could give more general satisfaction than that of Mr. E. Webb, of Sedgwick county, who has announced himself as a candidate for State Treasurer, subject to the Republican primary in August. While Mr. Webb has always been a Republi- SELDWICK COUNTY, Candidate for State Treasurer, subject to the Republican primary in August. can of the highest type—yet the high esteem in which he is held by those who know him regardless to party lines, has always made him a successful candidate. His standing as a man who believes in and practices fairness, justice, honesty and square dealings with his fellow man has won for him a precious spot of friendship in the hearts of his acquaintances, and he has legions of friends in every walk and avenue of life—regardless to party or race. Mr. Webb is one of the few men who place humanity and good citizenship above party and this has won for him honor and fame. He is one of the old settlers of Sedgwick county, having located in this county in 1871. He is a general farmer and stock raiser. In 1893, when the Republican banner was almost trailing in the dust, the friends and party acquaintances of Mr. Webb knowing the sterling qualities of Mr. Webb and the high regard in which he was held by all, persistently urged him to enter the race for county commissioner from the old First commioner district. He finally consented—entered the race and won by a large and handsome majority and has the distinction of being the first and only Republican ever elected from that district as then constituted. In 1904 the Republicans of Sedgwick county "drafted" Mr. Webb and the Republican county convention unanimously chose him as the party candidate for ocunty treasurer. He was elected by a majority of over 800 when the county went Democratic by over 2,000—he being the only Republican elected that year. He was re- elected in 1906 by a largely increased majority. As county treasurer he has handled more than four millions ($4,000,000) dollars of county funds during his four years as treasurer. He will, no doubt, be the only candidate at the primary from this section of the state seeking state honors, and has the unanimous endorsement of his party. His name on the state ticket will add strength to it. Voice Of All The action of the Kansas Day Club in Topeka last Saturday in rsfusing to endorse the rotten administration of Gov. Walter Roseoe Stubbs of Kansas, was a good move and shows the good sense and good judgment of the men there. There never has been a Governor of the State of Kans who was more obnoxious, self-praising, and unpopular as is th present Govenor Stubbs — and yet — in the face; of his detriment to the State as Governor it may be possible that on account of the tyranical state wide primaey system he may slip in again. Instead of being endorsed — the Stubbs administration should be everlastingly condemned. What has he done? Nothing. He filled the stote with long interviews of self praise until the people got rired of his rot and the Stubbs press was forced to desist or lose a large portion of their readers—the people just would'nt stand for it any longer. Now the Governor comes forth without a grand stand play and banters the republicans to "trot out" some one against him. His challenge should be accepted at once—and not only should it be accepted — but every republican should pull of his toat and go to work in his neighborhood and show the wind-puffed Governor where "the chicken got the ax" Kansas comes nearer having no Governor today — than ever in her history. There is one thing sure and certain Gov. Stubbs if nominated — will not become a hump-back on account of the large Negro vote which he will recieve either at the primary or election. --- NEW JOB TYPE An order went from the Search light this week to the Type Fonndry for new, late faces job type to be used in the Job Department of the Searchlight.

Mrs. Landrum had been lingeringly ill for some time and her husband, family and friends had for some time been aware that the worst might happen at any time. Her faithful husband left nothing undone that human skill could do to bring his wife back to her health—but all his efforts and those of the most skilled of physicians were of no avail. Ella Dandrum was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs John L. Rowles of this city and was born in Paola Kansas Jan. 22nd 1870 she was married Dec 22nd 1897 to Edward Landrum.

Where he has been employed for the past fifteen years. Although one of the largest property owners among the colored people of his city, yet account of the responsibilities attached to his work he has less time to mingle with his race and take part in their social and other affairs than the average. Mr. Neeley is one of the race's best men. Intellegeut, industrious and far seeing. He has invested his earnings to good and paying advantage. He is a thorough race mouaud is deeply interested in the up-lift and advancemene of his race. He has learned the great lesson of the value of a dollar. He is a staunch christian and a Master Mason aud is a man of whom any race may justly feel proud. He is a married man and owns a well fitted cozp and comfortable home on Blaine Ave. It is such men as Hal L. Neely that help materially to give a race a higher standing in any community. Ambross Morris is of the high type of young men full of vim, vigor, vitality and industry who carry with them those qualities which fills his fellywomen with in spiration. A comparatively young man Ambrose has made his mark and has accumulated and has one of the most modern homes to be found in our city. He is a man with legious of warm friend Is a Master Mason and Treasurer of Western Stat Consistory No. 18 He has a splendid family A wife and Ambrose Jr. —who takes after his dad. For several years he has been in the employ of the Wichita Street railway where he has made a trusty and valuable man. He is motorman of the construction work car and holds the proud distinction of being the only colored motorman in the west. To meet him you will admire him and become one of his friends. So far as we are able to learn Edward Hathman of this city is the only colored man west of Mississippi and possibly in the United States, who is a real,live and actual forman in full charge of the construction of street rail way tracks, Ed is formen for the Wichita Street Railway and is an dmitted expert in the laying repairing grading and building street ear lines. He has a crew of men working under him during the whole year numbering from 20 to 100 men—as needad. It is with no discredit that we say that Ed is a sdre—enough Negro—which proves that black men are capable of far greater thihgs than the black race is oft times given credit for. He is a K. of P. and has lately joined the Masons. Ed is wider and would make a "good catch" for some little maiden. Just recently he is aid to have invested in Wichita real estate which may mean something more than a mere "investment:" In the medical professsyn Dr. A. K. Lawrence is coming to the front. He came to Wichita torece or four years ago as a pharmacist, later entering into his practice. Doe, is wholesole, pleasant, and agreeble. Besides being a medicine man he is also a finished musician and diretyr of the 2nd. Baptist choir. He is a bachelor — which explains that he has no wife and children. As long as there is lite—there are hopes —however—even for a bachelor. He is a member of the firm of Drs. Brown and Lawrence, 517 N. Main. He is a member of the K of P. the Masons and is Secretary of Western Star Consistory No 18. The rsally great and beneficial men of any community are those men who, no matter how sparkling and splendid has been their own success, and no matter how urgent and important is their own personal affairs, and no matter how honorable and how worthy in their personal standing — yet in the midst of all of their success, in the midst of all important personal affairs and in the midst of their high, lofty standing — they have time to give an ear and aid the needy in their community and to lend a helping hand to their less fortunate fellowmen. Such is the ideal character and personal magnetism of Mr W. H. Jones, one of Wichita's splendid and most substantial colored citizens. It is his tender hearted NO.44 sympathy and desire to help his less fortunate fellow man much as his industry, thrift and fine business qualities which make him one of our really great men. There possibly is no man in our city who has extended advise and the benefit of his wide experience to aid others more freely than has W. H. Jones. He is one of those men of sincerity who do good work for the good it will do and not for a show or public notriety. He is a hustler and a man of affairs. By strict economy and business methods he has accumulated much of this world's floods and is reckoned as one of the most finnncially substantial colored men in Sedgwick county He has a palacial residence at 906 N. Water and also owns three other fine houses by the side of his residence — beside the other valuable and well improved property. Hecame to Wichita in the early day and has always been held in the highest esteem by his fellows. He has been honored with several positions of public trust—the most important—possibly was as guard at the state penitentiary to which position he was appointed by former Gov. W, E. Stanley while Judge E. B. Jewett was Warden On account of his education he was made purchasing agent for this big state institution—a position which he filled with dignity, honor honrsty and sobriety to the credit of all concerned and by his close purchases of dollars Coming back to Wichita he was appointed as patrol-man under former Mayor Graham—but on account of his health he resigned and opened a pool hall at 350 N. Main which he still conducts. The Grim Monster The grim monster — death — is reaping on the right and on the left among the colored people of Wichita right now. Four deaths within forty-eighth-hours — is the penalty which he has exacted from the colored population which is a terrible blow. The whole colored population bow their heads in sorrow for their departed friends. The lifeless form of the dead is a solemn lesson to the living — that though they may flourish like a beautiful flower today — tomorrow they may wither and decay. What is life but a dream — while death is real and lasting. In life we may discriminate and be discrimination against — but death — that equalizer of humanity — knows no man by race or color — and is no respector or person. Let us prepare in life to meet the exacting demands of Death. THE AMERICAN HOME W.A.RADFORD EDITOR THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is authorized authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 194 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. I always like to see even a small house well built. When a man is investing in a house, either as a home for himself or as a renting investment, it has always seemed to me that a good, thoroughly constructed, substantial house is the best kind to build. A very little extra in the first cost makes all the difference between a mere shack which will tumble down in a few years and a house of the same size construction in a way to endure for generations. The difference in the ease of heating the two houses is all on the side of the well-built structure, and the extra rent, if it is to be rented, and its freedom from repair, if it is to be lived in by the owner, will very soon make up for the added expense at the start. As our country grows older and becomes more thickly populated it will, without doubt, follow more and more the examples set by England and will profit by the experience of our cousins on the other side. Our ordinary frame construction is not used at all any more over there. Everything is brick, stone, tile or cement. The advantages of this are cleary demonstrated by the last annual report of the fire insurance board. In England last year the fire loss per capita was 54 cents. Compare with this the fire loss last year in the United States, which reached the astonishing total of $2.43 for every man, woman and child in the country. This simply goes to show the great advantage, from the fire-proof standpoint, of building even our smaller houses in a thoroughly substantial and fire-resisting manner. Of all materials developed during Of all materials developed during 1910 recent times for building, concrete blocks have done most to bring substantial masonry almost within the reach of all. At a cost barely 20 per cent in excess of the most cheaply constructed frame cottage, the design can be carried out in cement blocks and finished up in a first-class way, making a house that will last for years without deteriorating very much in value. The accompanying design is a very good example of this kind of a home. Who would not be pleased to live in a snug, trim little house of this kind?

It is simple in arrangement, 24 feet square with a simple gable roof, the gable end fronting the street. Rockface concrete blocks are used for the foundation and first story walls as far up as the top of the first story windows. Above this high-colored pressed brick is used. A slate roof is very appropriate on a house of this kind and the extra expense of it would probably be worth while. The interior arrangement of this house conforms in spirit with the ex- terior. The rooms are square, conveniently arranged and of good size. There is no nonsense about this house, either within or without. It is a thorough-going, business-like structure. At the same time, with the proper planting of vines and shrubbery, it could easily be made very attractive and homelike. The second floor provides two bedrooms and a bathroom besides a considerable amount of storage space. The interior of this house is to be finished in plain sawed, red oak down- BED ROOM 16'0"X10'6" DOWN BED RM 10'0"X12'0" BATH 5'6"X8'4" Second Floor Plan. stairs and yellow pine upstairs. The interior of the walls should be furred, lathed and plastered in the approved style and are very nice when finished with a sand-finish plaster coat. This sand-finish plaster is to be tinted with plain water colors, no wall paper being used. The tinted sand-finish plaster is considerable more satisfactory than plain-colored wall paper, as with it there are no seams to show. The cost of this house, constructed as indicated in the foregoing, is estimated at $2,000. This includes the 1 7-foot basement, or cellar, under the entire house, having first-class cement floor and foundation walls, made to be thoroughly waterproof. This is done by applying a hot tar coat to the outside of the wall, finishing the inside with Portland cement and water. There are also numerous special waterproofing substances on the market that can be used in making the concrete block walls thoroughly damp proof. Rusting of Iron. An American physicist, Dr. Cushman, announces that the rusting of iron is really due to electricity. He has found that the first attack on the metal is made by hydrogen in the form of exceedingly small particles, but not, as the text books have taught us, by oxygen. This is in agreement with the modern theory that many substances, when they are dissolved in water, are dissociated into ions, or minute particles smaller even than atoms, all carrying electrical charges. Even pure water contains a number of these. Acid impurities multiply the hydrogen ions and strengthen them in their corrosive effect upon iron. The action is purely electric, and involves an exchange of the electric relations between the hydrogen and the iron. By immersing the iron in a concentrated solution of chromic acid and then washing and wiping it, says Dr. Cushman, the metal is rendered passive, so that it becomes capable of resisting electro-chemical attack. This, if true, remarks the Circle, means that a method has at last been found for protecting structural iron work and machinery. Side Lights on the Same. Thucydides, with the manuscript o: his history of the Peloponnesian war under his arm, walked into the office of his publisher. "Another history, I suppose," snarled the publisher. "Why don't you write a comic opera? There's ten times as much money in it." Even as a writer of history, how ever, Thucydides achieved considerable success HEN a man who contemplates being married seriously asks how he shall "manage" his future wife, it may safely be predicted that there is trouble in store for her. People who want to manage each other ought not to marry. The husband's duty is to "love, cherish and protect," the wife's to "love, honor and obey." Because every government must have a nominal head, the husband, being physically the stronger of the two, is regarded as the responsible head of the family, but the loving obedience to his wishes which a wife owes her husband is in no way incompatible with perfect equality between man and wife. If a woman does not look up to her husband and in all things fitting defer to his judgment, it usually is the man's own fault. From the days of Eve, wives, for the most part, have proved amenable to the law laid down for the first woman: "Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." Any woman who loves a man will do all she can to please him; it is the joy of her life to make him happy. But when the rule is selfish and unreasonable, foolishly indulgent one day and tyrannically unjust the next day, what wonder that wives rebel and fail to obey where they are unable to honor? There never yet was a woman, from palace to hovel, with whom praises and kisses were not more effective than curses and blows. The man who is tenderly considerate of the wife who loves him, who recognizes her efforts to please him, who is patient with her mistakes, may make of her pretty much what he pleases, limited only by her capacity. In justice to the men, it must be said that scarcely any of them are willfully unkind to the women whom they marry. They are thoughtless, preoccupied, ignorant of women's ways, and sometimes selfish. They do not think it worth while to bother with the trifles which make up the sum of a woman's life. When husband and wife truly love each other there can be no struggle for supremacy between the "two souls with but a single thought," whose greatest joy is found in each other. While husband and wife each have separate duties which the other is unable to perform, their interests are identical, and together they must stand or fall. Whatever injuries the one necessarily in greater or less degree must hurt the other, and neither can wholly clear their skirts of the consequences of the acts of the other. Neither can anything befit the one and not accrue to the advantage of the other. "It is ill quarreling between the bark and the tree," says the old proverb with reference to man and wife. ager should be taught she did not know it all. Now this manager seldom left her office during the luncheon hour, bringing her toothsome luncheon from a well-filled, home-cooked table, while these girls for the most part ruled over no one thing except hope, in their hearts, but sat at a restaurant table and cooked appetizing dishes in their own rooms when they had time. Bright, sparkling eyes had the first girl who was to try the scheme upon the "Goddess," as she came in one noon hour. She made chance to talk with the "Goddess" and so had her beyond her depths in the discussion of some intricate problem. This wise girl related her experience to the other girls and from that on about once a week some one of the girls would begin to talk science, politics, arts, craft, books, picture exhibits, and one thing and another as their line of knowledge lay. It was not long until every girl in that office saw the gains she had made in her own favor. Since that time the "Goddess" has grown more tolerant of those girls, many of whom are her superiors (in many ways) and now knows that office girls have some other way of spending their time than in mere chatter. They have opened up a new world to the manager and shown her that she is not the only one who knows a thing or two. We may be all right in our own line of knowledge, but the world's knowledge is of many sorts, as are its pleasures, but we, like the "Goddess," are densely ignorant of that which the other fellow knows and because he does not know our own pet hobbies, or line of work, our interests, or "butterflying," as the French call pleasuring, we must not condemn him as ignorant. are first taught how to write and how to teach others to write, and this is not a difficult thing to do if it is gone about in the right way.

In "our office"—we all call it that, from the proprietor, who spends his odd time in looking up Scotch ancestry that he can in some way annex as a family tree—there is a division manager whom we call the "goddess," who has (or had) an idea that she knows it all. This, in an office where there are some ten girls, all keenly alive to what is going on in the world outside and each having her own special hobby, is sometimes resented. One day at an office gabfest they one and all decided this same know-it-all man- we did not know it all.

Why are seven out of ten grammar and high school pupils poor writers? What is the remedy, if there is a remedy? We answer that the remedy lies with the teacher. Yet I am not censuring the teacher. She does the best she knows how. The fault lies with those in authority. Systems of penmanship have little to do with the result. What we need is not system, but method. Copy books do no particular harm, although as they are generally used they certainly do little good.

MORE DEATHS IN MINE EXPLOSION DRAKESBORO MINE IS VISITED THIS TIME. TWENTY-SEVEN KNOWN DEAD One Hundred Men In Shaft at Time of Explosion, All Brought to Safety Except the Twenty-seven. Drakesboro, Ky.—Twenty-seven miners were killed here by an explosion in the Browder mine. Ten are known to have been killed outright by the hot blast and seventeen more met a more terrible death, when they were cut off from escape by falling slate and were trapped to die slowly from the fumes. Eight of the bodies have been recovered, all of them horribly mutilated, and some of them past identification. Because of the accumulation of gases in the east entry where the explosion occurred, 170 feet beneath the ground, and 700 feet back from the main shaft, it was impossible to begin active rescue work until six hours after the disaster occurred. The damage to the mine, investigating parties have discovered, was not great. Others Barely Escape. There were 100 men in the mine at the time of the explosion, more than half of them in the west entry. All of them hastened to the cages and were quickly drawn to the top. Later all in the east entry except the unfortunate 27 fought their way to the shaft and were brought to safety. As soon as it was safe to begin with the rescue work, miners were sent down in relays under direction of J. Abercrombie, mine foreman, and G. Reynolds, mine superintendent. Bodies Blown Many Feet. In the immediate vicinity of the explosion ten men had been working. The concussion tossed the bodies distances of many feet. What caused the ignition of the gases has not been ascertained. The remaining missing men were in entries but a few feet distant from the workings where there was the greatest known loss of life, and the searching parties have been unable to locate these entries. It is believed all the men entombed there are dead. The pit mouth presents a pitiful scene with the shrieking wives of the dead and missing miners crowding about waiting reports from the rescuers. Uncovered Lamp, the Cause. Josse Jonzhan was rescued alive, but is so badly burned that his recovery is doubtful. It is believed that the explosion was caused by a track repairer going into an abandoned room with an uncovered lamp, as the room is shattered almost to atoms and the body of the repairer is nowhere to be found. The Browder mine, with three others in the vicinity, is owned by a syndicate of Tennessee and West Virginia capitalists. The mine is not on fire and the fans are working. This gives rise to the hope that all of the bodies may be recovered by daylight. Sixteen bodies were recovered, eight of whom have been identified, ten others have been rescued alive and from 25 to 60 men are supposed to be still entombed in the mine. Re-Enter Ill-Fated Mine Cherry, Ill.—Work was resumed in the St Paul mine by scores of men, following the removal of the hermetic seal that has kept the subterranean passage closed for two months. Frantic efforts will be made to clear the mine of noxious vapors, to wall in any smouldering fire and to recover the 160 bodies of miners who have lain entombed in the lignite labyrinth since the fire broke out on November 13. At 9 o'clock the big new fan began to suck out the gases. In ten minutes the main shaft was clear and Mine Inspector Thomas Hudson and John Dunlap descended without specific apparatus. Soon the signal to holst came from below and the men came up smiling and reported that the gases were well cleared. Chief Mine Boss Archie Frew called for volunteers to begin work in the mine. A score of men stepped forward promptly. Their narrow escape from death last November did not seem to deter them from tempting fate another time. 110 Escape by a Miracle Peoria, Ill.—A firebug put a torch to the wooden surface building of Sholl Brothers' coal mine, destroying them. By a miracle 110 men escaped death, as they had come out to give way to the night shift. While the fire was raging in the shaft and upper works, a rescue party entered the escape shaft of the mine at South Bartonville, a mile away from the main shaft, and brought two miners, nearly dead from suffocation, to the surface. The fire is believed to have an incendiary origin.

They were little girls, so small that the teacher was telling them about divisions of time, and receiving all sorts of answers to her simple questions. The little girl who lived in a boarding house was a year older than any of the others. "We have learned that years are divided into months, months into weeks, and weeks into days," said the teacher. "Now can any one tell me how the days are divided?" The little girl who lived in a boarding house raised her hand, and was asked to speak.

A young Calif. wife talks about coffee: "It was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum a trial, but my nerves were so shattered that I was a nervous wreck and of course that means all kinds of alls. "At first I thought bicycle riding caused it and I gave it up, but my condition remained unchanged. I did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble for I was very fond of it. At that time a friend came to live with us, and I noticed that after he had been with us a week he would not drink his coffee any more. I asked him the reason. He replied, 'I have not had a headache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, after drinking Postum!' "I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions whee, we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were convinced that coffee caused his suffering, so he returned to Postum, convinced that coffee was an enemy, instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more with insomnia. "I, myself, have gained 8 pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now to quit coffee that caused our aches and ails and take up Postum."

APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY BY PROF. STEPHEN SHELDON COLVIN PSYCHOLOGY, the newest of all the sciences, has been discovering and relating its principles during the last quarter of a century. It has by no means found all of its facts and is far from a complete interpretation of those which it has discovered. Nevertheless there are some things that it has worked out with absolute certainty and SCHOOL CHILDREN LEARNING SERIES OF NON-SENSE SYLLABLES children in Urbana, Champaign Bloomington, Danville and in some of the normal schools of the state have been tested to determine certain conditions under which they learn most advantageously. One of the questions asked in these investigations has been Olympic Games many others concerning which it is in a position to make definite hypotheses. The time has now arrived when it is attempting to apply its facts and principles to the solution of some of the most important problems of our daily life. It is a matter of common knowledge that during the last few years there has been an ever growing attempt to cure diseases, both of the mind and of the body, through the tremendous power of suggestion. Prof. Munsterberg, in this country and others abroad, through experiments and practical applications, have conclusively shown that our knowledge of the laws of mind may be used to relieve human life of some of its greatest ills. Probably no discovery in physical science promises to be of as great and lasting benefit to the world as the discovery of the power of suggestion as a law governing a large part of the life of every individual. The time is soon coming when no reputable physician will dare to practice medicine without some knowledge of the facts of psycho-therapeutics. service to the state in which it is situated and it owes its support, it should be able to show theoretical work of the laboratory can be applied the bettering of human conditions. The agricultural and the engineering experiments at the university have been attempting to practical men of the state information in regard best means of preventing wastes and of obtains greatest efficiency in the various fields of their e. A similar attempt is being made by the department psychology of the university to show to the so of the state how they can save time and how so regulate the environment of the school as to greatest results with the least possible expense energy. All knowledge is based fundamentally upon it and it is quite obvious that if the most economic ods of learning are discovered and applied tree wastes in the schoolroom will be saved. It is a Recently, and very largely under the leadership of Prof. William Stern, of the University of Breslau, extensive investigations have been carried on in regard to the psychology of testimony. These investigations have thrown important light upon a vital phase of court procedure and have shown its great weakness in many particulars. Soon this new field of applied psychology will be able to lay down definite laws in the conduct of the examination of the witness. The time is not, probably, far distant when every court will have some officer attached to it who is an expert in the psychology of testimony and who will be able to correct many misunderstandings that are now current in regard to the essential elements of the witnesses' report and the extent of its belief. In Zurich Dr. Jung has devised a method for discovering some of the most important facts in regard to the mental makeup or an individual. This procedure he calls the "diagnostical association's method." He gives to the subject to be tested, in succession, a list of 100 words, to which the subject is to respond with the first association that comes into his mind after the presentation of the original word. The character of the associations formed and the time which intervenes between the presentation of the stimulus word and the response are important elements in diagnosing the mental condition of the individual and in discovering essential facts in his previous history. This method has been used with marked success in the discovery of crime and it promises to be of great importance in the diagnosis of nervous diseases and in the detection of the criminal. While the application of psychology to the treatment of diseases, to the discovery of truth and to the detection of the criminal is tremendously important, another field of its application, while less spectacular and while not calculated to excite immediately so great popular interest, promises to be of more far-reaching consequence in the regulation of our daily life. This last named field is in the psychology of learning and applies to the work of our entire school system, from the kindergarten through the university. The leader in this movement is Prof. Meumann, of the University of Halle. During the last decade Meumann and his pupils have been attempting to discover the most direct and economical methods of the acquisition of knowledge and a large amount of material has been brought together, many facts have been established and conclusions of practical value obtained. It is in this phase of the work of applied psychology that the University of Illinois is particularly interested. For the last four years experiments have been carried on under the direction of the psychological laboratory at Illinois, in regard to determining some of the most important facts concerning memory and kindred topics, the thought being that if the department of psychology were to be of maximum service to the state in which it is situated and to which it owes its support, it should be able to show how the theoretical work of the laboratory can be applied to the bettering of human conditions. The agricultural and the engineering experiment stations at the university have been attempting to give the practical men of the state information in regard to the best means of preventing wastes and of obtaining the greatest efficiency in the various fields of their endeavor. A similar attempt is being made by the department of psychology of the university to show to the schoolmen of the state how they can save time and how they can so regulate the environment of the school as to get the greatest results with the least possible expenditure of energy. All knowledge is based fundamentally upon memory and it is quite obvious that if the most economical methods of learning are discovered and applied tremendous wastes in the schoolroom will be saved. It is a striking fact that most students who come to the university do not know how to properly memorize their material. They lose a very large amount of time that might be saved greatly to their advantage, if they had the simple knowledge of how to go about their work before them. What is true of the university student is undoubtedly true even to a greater degree of the pupils in the public schools. It is clear that if the teachers knew what was the best method by which the pupils could memorize a certain material and could train that pupil in such methods of memory highly beneficial results would be accomplished. Working along this line, some years ago the department of psychology at Illinois instituted a series of experiments to determine as far as possible the exact facts concerning what is technically know as the ideational types of school children and the relation of these types to the memorizing of different kinds of material. By the ideational type the psychologist understands the sort of mental imagery in which a person thinks—for example, if a child recalls in imagination a bird he may do so by having a mental picture of the bird as a visible object or he may recall the bird in terms of the song that it sings. It is further possible that he may not, in thinking of the bird, see it mentally or recall its song, but that he may merely see the word, bird, written or hear it spoken, or attempt to pronounce it himself. If he actually sees the bird in his mind's eye he is said to have concrete visual imagery. If he hears the song that it sings mentally, he is said to have concrete auditory imagery. If he sees not the bird but the word, he is said to have verbal-visionary imagery, and if instead of seeing the word or hearing it he simply has the mental imagery of pronouncing the word, he is said to have verbal-motor imagery It is then possible for the person in his ordinary thinking to employ either concrete imagery, in which he recalls the actual object as presented through some of his senses or to employ verbal imagery, in which latter case he does not recall the object at all, but in which he recalls the printed symbol for that object either in visual, auditory or motor terms. It is possible also to have not only concrete visual and auditory imagery but to have concrete motor imagery as well. A person, for example, in mentally recalling a foot race, may think of the runner as he appears ready for the starting signal, or he may think of the starting signal, or, finally, he may think of the muscular sensations which come in running the race. In this latter case he would think of the runner in terms of concrete motor imagery. Probably the football player, in recalling the experiences of the game in which he has taken a part, does not see the plays as the spectator does from the grandstand, but recalls them in terms of the movements which he makes in executing them. - life. This is a great advantage in abstract thinking. It is, however, a distinct hindrance in appreciation of culture and art. If we wish to train our children to think accurately and abstractly we must train them, as the schools evidently are now training them, in the direction of verbal imagery. If, however, we wish to develop artists, poets, men of letters, inventors and those with technical skill in the various professions, we must see to it that this concrete imagery is not lost; for if this loss takes place it will mean tremendous waste and disaster for many. The experiments further showed that those children who thought in visual terms were best able to memorize material with a visual content and that those who thought in auditory or motor terms were best able to learn material with an auditory or motor content. This, of course, means as far as the application of results to school work is concerned that the material which the child learns must be in some way adapted to his idealational type, if the best results are to be accomplished. This, perhaps, is not so vital a fact with the average child who has many ways, it may be, in which he can imagine his experience, but there are always in every schoolroom numbers of exceptional children who are very slow to get on in certain fields and who, nevertheless are far from being mental defectives. To take a concrete illustration, there are children who have great difficulty in learning to read and yet who are often bright in other school subjects. It is probable that such children have not developed the type of verbal-visual imagery. The printed word fails to carry its proper significance. Such a child, obviously, must be treated differently from the average individual. In the first place, he may be helped in his reading by being instructed to spell and pronounce words. The method of showing him words and having him grasp them as visual signs will be a hopeless method of procedure in his case. Further, the child may be aided by a systematic attempt to strengthen his verbal-visual imagery. There is ample evidence that children can be trained in any type of imagery and it is the business of education to see that those who are defective in an essential type are trained to overcome this defect. We cannot think for a moment of demanding the same sort of thing from the child whose eyesight is poor that we demand from the child of normal visual acuity. It is just as foolish to expect the child who is defective in a certain ideational type to do the work of a normal child as it is to expect the child who is defective in his visual sensibility to accomplish the same results under the same conditions that the child of normal sensibility accomplishes. Another important problem which has been undertaken by the psychological laboratory at the university is to discover the most advantageous conditions, besides those relating to the ideational type, under which certain kinds of school material may be memorized. At the outset of such an investigation the psychologist is confronted with the difficulty of selecting the sort of material for memorizing which will be sufficiently uniform to be tried on many children and on the same child at various times. It is quite evident that if we use the ordinary materials of the schoolroom, such as the child has had in his reading, geography and history room, that this material will not be of the uniformity desired. It was to avoid this difficulty that the psychologist, Ebbinghaus, nearly 25 years ago, tried a memory experiment, in which he used for material nonsense syllables, that is, certain syllables which could be pronounced and which yet had no significance; syllables, for example, like nee-doz-hux. Here we have a relatively uniform material that has, for the most part, little or no significance. Using this kind of material, several thousand school It doubtless makes a good deal of difference just what sort of imagery the school child uses in memorizing his material, as to whether the best results are to be obtained or not and it is obviously important that the teacher should know the character of this imagery if he is to deal adequately with the pupil. The results of the experiments by the department of psychology at the University of Illinois clearly indicate that most children in the beginning grades of the school think predominantly in terms of objects seen, that is, they possess concrete visual imagery and probably, to a certain extent, also concrete auditory and motor imagery as well. Later on this concrete form of imagining dies out. They think in terms of words and the actual experience behind these words becomes dim and obscure. The whole process is to make their learning a thing of books and not a thing of vital, pulsating life. interval between learning and recall can be most advantageously filled, then the arrangement of the school program of studies can be worked out on a psychological basis and not on the more or less haphazard basis which seems to be the present plan. Among other problems in this field of applied psychology which the department has undertaken or proposes to carry out in the near future may be mentioned the following: 1. What are some of the most advantageous conditions of learning to spell correctly? 2. In learning, is it better to give all of the time to a study of the subject matter to be learned, or is it better to devote a portion of the time in the attempt to recall material that has already been mastered? 3. Is it better, in learning, to attempt to memorize the material by commencing at the beginning and running through to the end consecutively and by repeating this process until the whole has been mastered or is it better to learn a part and then another part, and so on? 4. What method of presentation is more advantageous in learning? By this is meant, specifically, is it better to present to the child material to learn orally or visually, and is it better to present the material simultaneously or successively—that is, should the whole thing that he is to learn be given at once or is he to study one part and then the next and so on? In considering the first of these problems it may be said that results at Illinois clearly point to the fact that the method of teaching children to spell by giving the word as a whole and not breaking it up into syllables is not the psychological method and that the old method of syllabication with some of its obvious faults had distinct advantages over some of the extreme methods of to-day. Apropos the second problem it is clearly established by experiments at Illinois that there is great advantage in not spending the entire period of learning on studying the material presented, but that it is of very great advantage to spend part of this time in attempting to recall what has been shown. Train the pupil to look at the page that he is trying to memorize for a period and then to turn his gaze away and in his mind's eye recall the printed matter. It is generally held by investigators that the best method of memorizing is to learn the material by commencing at the beginning and running through the whole process to the end. The Illinois experiments brought out this fact, that in such consecutive learning there are certain parts that are mastered more quickly than others and that it is advantageous to first go over the whole material consecutively until the more easily acquired material is mastered and then to spend some time in learning those parts that are more difficult and to finally relearn the whole consecutively. Now, in attempting to answer the fourth question, experiments have been carried on at Illinois which show rather clearly that the most advantageous way to present material to little children is visually and in succession. The reason for this, in part at least, is because successive presentation secures better attention than simultaneous presentation and that the word when seen, especially if it is difficult, can be better comprehended than if it is merely heard. The foregoing account gives a statement of some of the most typical and important experimental investigations now in progress in the psychological laboratory at the University of Illinois. As has already been said, the main emphasis is being placed upon the psychology of learning, more specifically on technique and economy in our processes of acquisition. At the same time ample scope is given for the theoretical aspects of the subject so that the field in a general way may be covered and that those who wish to obtain higher degrees in the subject may find ample opportunity for research in the direction which interests them most. children in Urbana, Champaign Bloomington, Danville and in some of the normal schools of the state have been tested to determine certain conditions under which they learn most advantageously. One of the questions asked in these investigations has been this: Suppose the child is given something to learn and is asked to recall it later on, under what conditions during the interval between learning and recall will his memory be most retentive? The data obtained has been so extensive that it has not been completely worked over as yet. Some very interesting conclusions, however, have been reached—among these this, that writing serves as a great distraction and that the child can recall material better when the interval is filled with such a strenuous activity as number work, than when it is filled with the writing of some familiar phrase, as "My Country, 'tis of Thee." The greater distracting tendency of writing than of other school occupations shows itself particularly in the lower grades. It has also been found out that when young children are required to learn by keeping perfectly still they are at a disadvantage. If you wish to have the child learn under the most disadvantageous conditions, require that child to keep perfectly still. The experiments at the University of Illinois clearly show that oral composition is the most satisfactory method of developing real power of expression in young children.

The Quaint Belluga Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than real and veryainty—and preserve only the spawn, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender.

He declares that the purpose is to find out what the reason for the high prices is, especially if the new tariff law is to blame. Champ Clark declares that it will have to be all that and that he is going to the bottom o things if it can be done.

I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I end you a picture taken when she was about 18 months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H.

Children's Coughs Cause the Little Ones Much Unnecessary Suffering PISO'S CURE It was during the second term in the penitentiary that the great plan first came into Jim Byers' head. At first it was only a thought that stole upon him during the night, while he tossed uneasily upon his plain bed; then a desire; suddenly a mighty and overwhelming passion which must be fulfilled. When he was freed prison societies came to him and offered him help. But he refused and started on his tramp eastward with the little money that he had earned. First he must fulfill his determination. It was 150 miles up state to the old home where his brother—the rich man—still lived. Walter had stayed at home and prospered, and was always spoken of as a prospective millionaire, while he, the outcast, the prodigal, the jailbird, the broken man, tramped eastward along the railroad line for that first reunion after 15 years of absence and silence. It was his absolute determination to meet his brother face to face and kill him, kill him as calmly and remorselessly as he himself had once killed cattle in the slaughter yards, because he had prospered while he was starving. What would come afterward he did not think or care. For five nights and days he tramped along the railroad line, exulting at each remembered landmark for the vengeance which was to come to him. A dusty tramp, disheveled, torn, a few coins dancing in his pockets as he tripped from tie to tie, the knife hidden in his sleeve which was to absolve his debt of hatred. In this wise he reached the little village. He stood still, rubbing his eyes in wonder. This his home site? Why, here was a factory town, with smoke belching from the tops of 20 tall chimneys. Did anybody remember the old Byers homehead? Yes, the saloonkeeper remembered it. But he did not remember Jim in his tramp's clothes, with prison pallor upon his face. It had been sold and pulled down these ten years or more. Walter Byers? Why, that was the Byers' home, that red brick building on the hill yonder. He might get a job there possibly. Mr. Byers was always in need of hands in his factory. Slowly Jim turned his face toward his brother's house and toiled up the hill painfully. No matter, his work would soon be over. But when he reached the gate of the garden he stood still, staring into the face of a little girl who sat there, shading her eyes as she gazed cityward. "Is Mr. Byers at home?" and he felt the steel beat a tattoo against the bare flesh of his arm. "Father's not home yet," said the girl. "There's nobody home but me." girl. 'There's nobody home but me.' "So you're Walter Byers' daughter, are you? Have you any brothers and sisters?" "No, there's only me. You're not my Uncle Jim, are you?" She looked into his face frankly and anxiously. "No, I know you're not. Because you're so poor and Uncle Jim's rich. He's coming home some day to take us by surprise. Only, you see, we're all so anxious for him to come, because father tried so hard for years to find him, and we know he's making his fortune out in the west somewhere and he'll come back again." He had become a myth, the rich uncle who was to return some day to his devoted family! Jim heard incidents of his boyhood, exploits now greatly magnified, from his little niece's lips. And they were proud of him! For the first time since he had left the penitentiary he laughed, then stopped and drew his sleeve across his eyes. He turned away. "Won't you wait for father? He won't be long. Who shall I tell him called to see him?" Jim straightened himself. "Tell him a broken man who's gone out to fight the world again; to lift up his head and look it in the eye squarely. A man who's taken his beating and learned his lesson." He turned and plunged down the steep hill westward in the direction of the railroad line. New York Farms. A farm in Central New York, bought a few years ago for $15 an acre, produced two years later a crop of peas worth more than $60 an acre. This incident, considered in conjunction with the face, that many farms can be bought for even less than the value of the buildings standing on the land, is used in a bulletin by Commissioner Pearson of the state agricultural department to indicate the possibilities of agriculture in New York. This publication also gives the value of crops in this state for a period of 40 years, showing that New Y k is the fourth state in agricultural importance. A significant feature of the statistics is that while in 1875 New York raised 35,000,000 bushels of potatoes, valued at $10,985,179, last year it produced 34,850,000 bushels, valued at $26,138,000. Similarly increased value is shown in other crops, while the volume is about the same. What's the Use! Isabel—I'll never have another photograph taken. Dorothy—Why not, dear?

You Look Prematurely Old UNCOOKED MEAT VERY DANGEROUS FEARFUL SUFFERING CAUSED BY EGGS OF PARASITE WHICH IT MAY CONTAIN—STATEMENT BY A PRIEST. Omaha, Neb., Feb. 2.—Probably the most unusual feature of the excitement that has been created by L. T. Cooper's visit to this city is the removal of parasites or tape worms by his preparations. During the early part of Cooper's stay in Omaha individuals who were taking "New Discovery," as it is called, brought either to himself or to physiologists throughout the city immense parasites that had left the system after using the medicine. Many of these people were frightened, and cases of this sort became so numerous that Cooper finally made the following statement for publication: He said: "In every city I visit these things are brought to me within a few days after my medicine is sold in the city. They are what is known as the tape-worm, and grow to an enormous size. "Few, indeed, realize how prevalent these creatures are. I think I have been the first to demonstrate what a large factor they are in the poor health of this generation. I believe that fully one-half of the chronic stomach trouble now so universal is caused by these parasites. "Individuals may have them for years and not be aware of the reason for their continued ill-health, but attribute it to many different diseases, when in reality one of these creatures is robbing them of their vitality. "These parasites are taken into the system in uncooked food or raw meat, in the form of an egg, which hatches almost immediately. People suffering from them experience a feeling of lassitude and are extremely nervous. The action of Cooper's 'New Discovery' seems to be fatal to these great worms, and in most cases a few doses of the medicine drives the creatures from the system. I will have hundreds of them brought to me before I leave the city." This grewsome prophecy has been amply verified, for not only hundreds but thousands of Omaha people have been relieved of some of these fearful parasites since taking Cooper's preparation, and the entire city has been aroused by the fact. Some of these parasites are of such enormous size as to startle the imagination. The statement of Father John Baptist Arnolis, one of the best known and best beloved priests in this section of the country verifies this. His statement, among others given to a reporter, was as follows: "For years I suffered from what I thought was a general run-down condition of the system caused by stomach trouble. I felt extremely tired all the time, and it was a great effort to attend to my duties. I would wake up in the morning feeling as worn out as when I went to bed. If I stood for any length of time I would have pain in the lower part of my back, and would have to sit down. "I was very nervous and depressed in spirits, and was troubled with dizzy spells. I would see spots before my eyes when I stooped over and raised up quickly. I had a very irregular appetite, and would have palpitation of the heart after ascending the stairs. "The talk about Cooper's preparations was so universal that I decided to try some, although I do not take patient medicines as a rule. I took four doses of the 'New Discovery' as it is called, and a tape-worm about sixty feet in length left my system. "I am very thankful for this great relief, and now I know what has been the cause of all my suffering." The story of Father Arnolis is a fair sample of the experience of an astonishing number of Omaha people, and Cooper's preparations are selling here in immense quantities. It is now estimated that he has sold one hundred thousand bottles to date in this city alone, and the sale is still increasing. Nil Desperandum Percy Parkington rose and brushed the dust from his knees. Then, drawing himself up to his full height, he gazed resentfully upon the form of Miss Muriel Muggins, who nonchalantly fanned herself the while. "Very well, Miss Muggins," came in bitter tones from Percy. "Oh, very well! You have spurned me, it is true! Indeed, you have spurned me twice! But, though despair eats my heart, I shall not die! I mean to go into the busy world. I will fight! I will win! My name shall become known, and my riches shall become envied—" "Pardon me for interrupting you, Mr. Parkington," interjected Miss Muggins, "but when you shall have accomplished all that, you may try me again."—Lippincott's.

EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO HE HAD LESS THAN 3 DOLLARS HE IS NOW ONE OF THE RICHEST FARMERS IN SASKATCHEWAN, CENTRAL CANADA. Arriving in Canada in 1891, just eighteen years ago, E. A. Guillomin could speak but his native language. He is a Frenchman. He had but a little over two dollars in his pocket, thus being short over seven dollars of the ten dollars required to secure entry for a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres. He eventually borrowed the money and near Forget, Saskatchewan, he started life in Canada on the homestead in which to-day he is the fortunate possessor of fifty quarter sections of land, or 8,000 acres. Now Mr. Guillomlin did not acquire all these acres as a result altogether of his farming operations, which were extensive. He looked with satisfaction upon what he was doing on his limited area, he was saving, careful, and had foresight. Surrounding land could be had for about $3.00 per acre, and he continued buying as his savings would permit, until now he has fifty quarter sections, some of which he can sell at $25.00 per acre. Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels. This year he was engaged in threshing on his place for $64\frac{1}{2}$ days. He threshed out 50,000 bushels of wheat, of which he sold 34,000 bushels, one train load, at a price varying from 84 to 87 cents per bushel. He has on hand still 16,000 bushels. In addition to wheat he raised 30,000 bushels of oats, 7,000 bushels of barley and 500 bushels of flax. He owns 104 horses and a number of cattle, but since the construction of the railway he has been engaged chiefly in raising wheat. This year he bought his first threshing machine, paying for it the sum of $2,100. He estimates that the machine earned for him this fall $3,000, thus paying for itself in one season and leaving $900 to the good. The weather was very propitious for farm threshing, not a single day being lost in the two months which were spent in this work. The wheat averaged 23 bushels to the acre and graded No. 1 and No. 2 Northern. In the past nine years seven good crops have been harvested on this farm. For six successive years the returns were excellent, that is in the years 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two following years there was a partial failure. As the years have passed the quality of the buildings on the farm have been steadily improved, and are now as good as can be found in the district. About $10,000 has been invested in this way by Mr. Guillomin. The farm consists of 6,880 acres, of which about 6,000 acres were under crop this season.

But it has illuminated that statement and given it a meaning ever broadening with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When the blood is "bad" or impure it is not alone the body which suffers through disease. The brain is also clouded, the mind and judgement are effected, and many an evil deed or impure thought may be directly traced to the impurity of the blood.

REMEDIAL LEGISLATION URGED Government's Chief Forester Declares That People’s Rights Can Only Be Saved by Prompt Action at Coming Congressional Session. Washington, Oct. 3—Unemuivocalls asserting that a monopoly now is in process of formation whose object is to obtain possession of the water pow er sites of the country, Gftord Pin. chot, chief of the buresu of forestry, who returned from an extended in spection in the west declared that remedial legislation must be enacted at the coming session of congress if this great natural resource is to be preserved to the people. ‘The problem of how best to prevent the nation’s water power sites fom being gobbled up by such combina: tions, Mr. Pinchot predicted, will be one of the biggest issues before the next session of congress. The alleged trust is now in the formative stage, Mr. Pinchot declared, and prompt ac- tion on the part of congress is neces: sary to throttle it, Another big problem which will con- front congress will be disposition of vast areas of coal lands in the west, principally in Alaska. It is important that congvess should take prompt ac- tion on this important matter, Mr. Pinchot said, for the protection of the country's fuels supply and also to pre- vent a monopoly in that product. Any doubt that may have existed as to whether Mr. Pinchot would con- tinue to advocate the polices for which be has fought so hard was set at rest by him. As a resuit of his western tour he is as fully determined as ever to continue his policies regarding the conservation of the country’s natural resources and the great national forest qeserves, He asserted that President Watt is thoroughly imbued with the conservation movement, and declared that the people are now more com- pletely aroused over the matter thar ever. President ‘iait, Mr. Pinchot said, has expressed himself in favor of a conservation commission and added that he (Pinchot) was also in accord with that suggestion. After de¢laring that “there is a water power trust certainly in the process of formation” Mr. Pinchot added: “In my jffdgment, the tendency to consolidation which is now running through all industrial enterprises, wil necessarily in the end, lead to’ the consolidation of the water power in- terests exactly as+it has to consolida- tion of steel and oil interests. ‘There has got to be legislation on this water power business. President Taft has indicated his intention of asking con. gress for legislation governing, as 1 understand it, the disposal of water power sites on the public domain; so that the whole water power question will naturally be taken up before con- gress. -.e question is, are we going to give these power sites in per. petulty? That fs a question with which congress will have to deal.” Tis it possible to head cff this so: valied trust?” Mr. Pinchot was asked, “The government cannot probably prevent formation of such a monopo- ly," he replied, “but {t can control ft.

HALLEY'S COMET TO COME CLOSE Astronomer Seagrave Says Earth Will be Swept by Star Dust Next May. Province, R. 1, Oct. %—Frank A. Seagrave, the Province astronomer, whose caleuiations relative to Halley's comet have attracted world-wide at- tention, announces that the correction of a slight error in his calculations has developed the discovery that May 19, 1910, the comet will reach the same plane as the earth in his orbit. It is thereby determined that the tail of the comet will sweep across this plane instead of clearing it. The earih and comet will meet on the same plane, but not on the same path, There will be a distance at the near- est point of 13,000,000 miles between the two. Mr, Seagrave said the earth would not be endangered, but that it will be swept by “star dust,” similar to the display of June 30, 1861, whez ine tail of the comet of 1861 caused apprehension among the superstitions shortly after the beginning of the Civil war, : Traseaty Gonditions Batter.
