SPOKANE. Nov. 22.-With the de-
velopment Of Arcadia-the new irri-
CATION scheme embracing over 1000
miles north Of Spokane-as a commu-
nifty of suburban homes. it is proposed
by the promoters to inaugurate some
Of the social reforms which are now
attracting the attention and the deep
est thought Of some of the greatest
students Of the present day.
With the almost miraculous change
which, by the introduction Of irriga-
ton, will transform the desert into
beautiful gardens and rich orchards,
it is proposed to make corresponding
improvements in the social conditions
For the furtherance Of such plans, the
next legislature will be asked to pass
certain laws giving broader rights to
communities organized to carry out
certain social reforms.
Do Not Mean Socialism.
"Our plans for Arcadia do not mean
communism, nor do they mean social
ism," stated General ]. D. Mcintyre
secretary and chief engineer of the
association, "but the reforms we pro-
pose to institute will mean the de-
struction Of private monopoly of any
and all public utilities. 1t will be a
compromise between individualism and
collectivism.
Arcadia, when fully developed, will
contain about 5000 people. 1t will own
its own schools, in which every child
will be taught trade, and all grad
yates Of it's trade schools will be mas
ter builders.
License No Vicious Resort.
1T will license no vice producing in
stitution.
Public amusements and entertain
ments. as we'll as public library, will
be maintained at public expense.
1T will maintain a school of hor-
ticulture to teach its people how to
grow fruit scientifically and how to
prepare it for market.
There will be a municipal restaur-
ant, a municipal cannery and preserv-
ing factory.
In religion, Arcadia will keep open
house. All religions that teach the
Bible will have equal rights, but nc
sect can get a corner on Arcadia. The

ENGLAND and America Facor .lnterna-

LONDON, Nov. 22.-Existing horri-
BILE conditions in the Congo are to be
no longer tolerated by England.
Foreign Minister Sir Edward Gray
intends to make strong reference to
the subject in mis- next address to par
lament and there is good reason to
believe that whatever steps England
may take will have Americas sup
port.
England and America are known to
favor an International Congo confer
ence. The European powers distrust
one another, but If America takes the
lead in Congo reforms this jealousy
will disappear.

SPORTS OF CHILDREN.

Skipping rope Is a childish pastime
Of ancient origin. In place Of a rope,
a vine stripped Of leaves was original
ly used.
The childish amusement of riding .
cane is of great antiquity. 1t was
practiced by the children of Greece
and ancient Rome.
The game of hide and seek is an
other youthful pastime Of ancient
origin. 1t came from Europe about
the beginning of the seventeenth CEN
fury.
The spinning of tops, a favorite
amusement among children in the
spring, also came from the Greeks.
Records show that this kind Of fun
was in vogue at the time of Vergil.
Leap-frog is mentioned in the
works of both Shakespeare and John
son. 1t has been played by children
from early times, and Is still ia
vorite game with boys.
The flying kite derived its name
from its originally being made to re-
semble that species Of bird called a
kite. The amusement Of kite flying is
about two centuries old in Europe.
Probably 1t originated in China,
where, so records tell, the practice
Of flying kites is very ancient.

Gay and jaded Paris has a new sen.

Gay and jaded Paris has new SEN
sation.
Wearied of great crimes and tan
gled political plots, the gossips of the
French capital are busy with the mys-
terry concerning the identity Of the
Man in the Mask.
Handsome and apparently wealthy.
the natural inference is to set him
down as notoriety seeker, but this
is not enough for Paris.
Who is he, and why does he fear the
recognition Of the world?
No one has yet been able to satisfy
the Parisians on either of these points.
His First Appearance.
The Man in the Mask appeared first
about two months ago. Tall, slender
and graceful, CARRIED in the most mod
ish of evening clothes, he appeared
in the fashionable Maison Doree, in
the Boulevard des Italiens. At first
glance there seemed nothing strange
in his appearance, but on closer in
spection 1t was seen that drawn tight
ly across the upper part of his face,
and fitting the shape of his features,

him-and was seen no more until the
next day.
There was just one clew which for
a time promised to reveal to the Gu
rious ones something tangible regard
ing him-that was the fact that he gen.
orally appeared 10 the public gaze
coming from the Rue de PEchelle into
the Rue de Rivoli, short distance
from the Palais Royal and the Tuil-
cries. Once he was seen to turn from
the Rue Saint Honore into the Rue
de lEchelle-a short half block from
the place he usually appears in the
Rivoli. But beyond that he never has
been traced.
Some declare that he slips on the
mask while walking along the street,
and that, when he wants to disappear
and elude pursuers, all he has to do
Is to take off the mask and walk past
them unconcernedly.
They declare their belief that his
statement that he never would re-
move the mask was a mere pretense.
Greater Mystery Than Ever.
A short time ago three young men,
sitting with a party Of actresses IN a
boulevard cafe, drinking wine, saw
the Man in the Mask stroll out and
they pledged themselves in cup OF
wine to follow him and unmask him
He walked down the Boulevard
Beaumarchais, closely followed by the
trio Of young men. He turned to the
left into the Rue st. Claude, with the
men pressing close behind him. The
man seemed absolutely ignorant of the
fact that he was being Swallowed, and
walked leisurely, playing with glove
that he carried in his hand.
About that time sergeant of police
in citizens clothes, observed the DDS
procession, and, noticing the suspicious
actions of the three young men, fell
into the shadowing game to see what
was happening.
Directly in front of the Church of st
Denis du Saint Sacrement, in the Rue
de Turenne, the three men sprang for
ward and grappled with the Man in
the Mask Two pinioned his arms be-

CHICAGO PACKERS TO MOVE.
Location to Re in Indiana-City Officials
Have Ordered Changes Made
in Present Buildings.

Chicago, Ill.,-Rumors to the eff
feet that a new stockyards with Sir
Thomas J. Upton Of London as its
chief hacker is to be established near
Gary, Ind, adjacent to the property
of the United States Steel corporation,
were in circulation Friday. Several Of
the best known real estate men in
Chicago were named among those said
to be acquiring land for the purpose.
Although the story generally was
discredited among the packers, it was
declared that at least six plants are
to be removed from Chicago to In
diana. 1t is said the plans include the
digging of a canal to the little Calumet
river for the purpose of carrying off
refuse.
The building commissioner, Peter
Bartzen, and the sanitary commission
er, Perry l.. Iiedrick, served notice
Friday On the packers to make I'M
provemeuts which it is estimated by
Bartzon will cost close to SlO0O,00O.
Bartzen declared that practically all
the buildings in the stock yards were
erected without city building permits
He said lie will ask tho city council
to give him fifteen special inspectors
for term of thirty days. The SAM
tary commissioner said the packers
are willing to adopt all suggestions
made by his department.
Mayor Dunno sent letter to the
Secretary of Agriculture, James Will
son, urging him to give his views in
reference to the joint appointment of
a committee of high grade pathologists
and experts 10 pass on the purity Of
meats sent out from the stock yards.

took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very

sink away and seemed like he would

When l reached my sisters home

feed him Grape-Nuts and, although
had never used the food, we got some
and for few days gave him just the
Juice Of Grape-Nuts and milj,. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
In wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.

came, raised her on Grape-Nuts and

motion, reached for the mask to teal
it from the mans face. Twice his
fingers clutched at the mask, then, just
as the sergeant sprang forward, the
man fell back as If frightened, and
stood staring in establishment at the
masked one.
The man in the mask smiled slightly.
The other assailants, when the
sergeant grabbed them, released the
man and all three of the young roi-
sterers were placed under arrest.
Seems to Become Invisible.
AS usual, the victim Of the assault
was requested to accompany the ar
resting officer and enter complaint
against his assailants. He bowed his
acquiescence to the officer, and an in
slant later had disappeared as If off
the earth-leaving the officer and the
three prisoners standing dumb with
establishment.
The roisterers were released on pay
ment of nominal fine, and then the
one who attempted to tear the mask
from the face Of the mystery told to
his friends Of the cafes and concert
halls the strangest thing of all. He de-
clared that the mask was no mask.
but part of the face Of the man. He
vowed that either some thin material
had been pasted to the skin, or that
the mask was strip of skin itself, col
ored with some pigment.
Effort after effort has been made
since then to solve the mystery, but
with no success. The mystery of the
