COLLIDED WITH ENGINE
STREET CAR AND COTTON BEL FREIGHT COME TOGETHER AT MAIN AND I'll lRo-oNLY EMPLoYEs ON THE cAR AND ALL ESCAPED IN JURY, AN. THE CAR WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY DAMAGED.

What might have been a very se- rious and even fatal accident occurred at S:30 o'clock Monday morning when car No. 12 of the Citizens Light and Transit company's lines and a north bound freight train on the Cotton Belt railroad came in collision at the junc- ton of Main and Third. Perhaps the only reason why it resulted no more seriously was because of the fact that the street car was almost empty, on. ly employees of the company being on tt tae time. As it was, the escape of the employees without even a bruise or a scratch, is considared rather mirac- u,cus. Even the street car received on ly slight damage.
 It was at the hour named, when car No. 12. in charge of Conductor J. A. Moren and Motorman Lockhart started south on Main. A new motor san named Carruthers was at the mo. tor or his initial trip over the line, and another employe of the company, a lineman, was passenger on the car. ! hese four were the only persons on

RATHER REMOTE
l.. Extension of Street Railway on
 East Fifth.

Reports are current on the streets that the Citizens Light and Transit company will soon begin the extension of it's street car lines down East Fifth avenue, thus creating a new route. The company already has line down West Sixth, and the new one down the east end of the city. in the south part of the city, is badly needed.
 When seen about the matter, J. F. Rutherford stated that no defin te &C., ton of any kind had been taken in the matter, and rather initmated that the chances of building the new line were rather remote.

THE HOLY LAND GERMANY SUPREME, FRANCE ,t

Paris, Nov 27.-France tas lost bcr dominant influence in Palestine. StoV,= ly but surely what amounted almost tG q French protectorato has been uu Germned by the German c5nsuls and and consular agents until today the policy of Emperor William is supreme
 Tn 5 fact explains the cmperor'8 SO. Ecitously friendly relations with the sultan at Constantinople and the real reason for his visit to Jerusalem in 1928, announced then 10 be q sem .ro- ligious pilgrimage
 The loss of French influence na3 even gone so far as the gradual los, of Frances r,sht to the protection of Catholics held and maintained eyer since Turkey granted the European powers an eX-territorial grant in Palestine. Italy and Spain have talk en the assumption of the right of pro lection over Roman Catholics of their nationality and other nations
 Thus one of the dearest wishes of the sultan-to stir up riyalr.es and jealousies among the powers in Pat estine-has been recalled
 The publication of these facts by the Temps which specially investigat- cd the changing conditions in PaIes- tine, has produced a sensation throughout France Germany, which ls already epcroaching on the French colonies in southwest Africa and has a jealous eye on the French posses sions in Australasia, has succeeded in Germanizing the French "sphere of influence" in Asia Minor.
 Pointing out the growth Of tle Ger. man influence in Palestine, the Temps says there is now German postal serv ce there, a German bank and Ger man schools, tine latter fourishing to such an extent that the French have begun sending their children to them.

board. When Third avenue was reached, block distant from the starting point, the fiagman at the crossing signalled for the street car to stop, as heavy Cotton Belt freight train from the south was pulling in. The motorman shut off the current. and applied the brake, but for some cause it refused to work. The motor man then reversed his current. but the track has considerable grade just at the crossing, and the car had re-. ceiyed such impetus that the wheels though locked, continued to slide, un- til the foremost end of the car reach ed the Cotton Belt tracks. The incom- irg freight was running at about a sped of five miles per hour, and reach ed the crossing at the same instant the street car did, and collisioon re- suited, the big, heavy freight engine striking the front end of the street car and knocking the car clear of the tracks. turning it about until the train was clear of it. The street car was hot overturned, and only slight dam- age was done it by the collision.
 In half an hour after the accident, the car was again on the tracks and the tracks were clear.

AMERICAN RICE IN CUBA.
Demand Steadily Increasing and a Monopoly of the Market
 Assured.

The introduction of American rice into the Cuban trade has had an au- spicioas beginning, and the salesmen who are introducing it confidently pre- dict that within a year American rice will supply half the Cuban demand for this staple article of food and with in two years will have practically monopoly of the market There are many logical reasons why this should be so, among the most potent Of which are the nearness of the Amer ican rice fields 10 the Cuban market the various lines of transportation be- tween gulf ports and Cuba, the exist ence of reciprocal trade relations be- tween the two countries, and an earnest desire on the part of the Gu ban merchants to buy food products Of the United States.
 Perhaps in no country in the world does rice enter into the daily con sumption of food to a greater extent than in Cuba. Here all classes con sume il. Indeed, among the peasantry, or country people, where wheat bread io SAdi tciS hSed dS all, liee io fSi itably the staff of life' It is eaten al every meal, and no one knows bet ter than the Cuban housewife it's varied and acceptable uses.
 It has long been the custom with the provision houses of Cuba to pur- chase their rice in Hamburg and Liv- erpool, but they are now showing a disposition to buy nearer home, espe- cultivation of rice is rapidly becoming one of the leading industries in cer- tain Of the gulf states, and in view Of the further consideration that the quainted with the superior quality of American rice, prefers it to the rice of India, China or Japan. In the comparatively small sales thus far made of American rice in Cuba, it has given universal satisfaction, the peo pie claiming that il possesses richer flavor and greater nutriment than the eastern rice.
 lima, Louisiana and Texas will make determined effort now to capture the Cuban trade, they should, with prox- unity to the market and preferential cuity in winning against European competition. The time is propitious.

This is to prevent the vehicle from turning over It is by no means an easy task to drive such a weird team, as you cannot pull up your horses by reins. If you did it would probably result in serious in- jury to the valuable birds. The only way to guide the conveyance is to hit the offside bird on the opposite side to that which you want him to go.

His feet were tied up ill smooth paper and then he was set down on the noor. Then spool tied to q string was put before him. Dick loved to play with snools and was quick to catch them. He liked to play ball with them or make believe they were mice to be tossed or worried, But when DICK tried 10 catch the spool with his paper boots on 1t was a funny sight Ills legs went wherever they chose. They did not care what he wanted at all. Each foot went skating by itself and left poor Dick fiat on the floor. He kicked. rolled over and over and was the most puzzled eat you ever saw.

GRAIN CROPS IN EUROPE.
Recent Reports Are to the Effect That General Conditions Are
 Favora ble.

The European grain markets are at present chiefly ruled by news regarding the condition of the crops. The local press, however, notes as a curious fact that the European markets are infiu- eneed by American news to much smaller degree than heretofore This. they claim, is due to the fact that tho European markets do not rely for their supplies mainly on the American re- eeipts
 They claim that during a recent week. for instance, the imports of wheat from Argentina amounted to 116,360 tons; from Russia 6,300 tons; while the inn ports from the United States amounted to only 5000 tons, which is less than the combined imports from Australia and India. amounting to 55000 tons.
 They argue that the quantities afloat from Argentina. Australia and India ap- pear sufficient to supply the further im- port demands of the European markets. and that consequently the late rises in New York for early delivery, which they attribute to manipulations in Chicago. will have no influence on the European markets
 As regards the state of the growing crops in Europe, the reeounts of the con- dition of the wheat crop in Austria-Hun- gary are of a favorable nature, which applies to both the summer and winter crops Tn few instances complaints were received from Bohemia about the undue amount of rain; while in Hun gary in some districts, more moisture is needed. These complaints. however. do not amount anywhere to any serious apprehensions respecting the condition of the crops.
 As regards the rye crops. the re- ports are less favorable Almost from all quarters complaints are loud re- specting the present state of the crops It is claimed. however. that the damage Is not of such a nature that it might not be remedied by subsequent favorable weather
 The reports from Germany, France and England are also said to be satisfac- tory. In Russia the crop reports are quite generally favorable, especially in the southern districts where the show cry weather of the last weeks proved beneficial for the winter crop and facil- itated operations in the fields for the summer crops.

Drawing Through Glass

To get correct drawing of iano- scape or of other objects in the right perspective. hold pane of glass over the drawing paper, which must lie on the table or be fastened to the drawing board.
 Hold the glass in a slanting way so that the lower edge of the pane rests on the table or ordinary board, while the other edge slants toward you SO that il is close to your chin.
 Looking perpendicularly down on the paper through the pane of glass. you will see the landscape or other object reflected in the glass. and il will be easy to draw the outlines of your ob- ject on the paper.
 The only difference is that the pie ture appears upside down. but with q little practice you will be able to get drawing which is absolutely correct i'll regard to perspective.
