Threatened Trouble Between

ITALIAN DEMANDS CONCEDED

Rome. April 22. - The threatened
trouble between Italy and Turkey ap.
parenfly has ended as a tempest in a
teacup. and for the present at least
there will be no demonstration by
Italian warships in Turkish waters.
Indeed. it now seems likely that the
incident will produce a better feeling

The Turkish government has given
its permission to Italy to establish
postofices in the Turkish cities whore
the other powers have like institu,

Italian demands with regard to other

Especially is this the case with lie
gard TO Tripoli, which Italy does lot
wish to occupy, but merely wishes to
be open to peaceful settlement by Ital

Italian waters and the incident practi,

The Bottling Industry.
AS before stated, 1T was only in re-
cent years that the bottling of these
famed waters was made an industry.
The demand for them made the indus
try necessity, and the management of
late years was prompt to meet the de-
mand. A bottling establishment was
put in at the spring, and that it might
be perfect, the most up-to-date ma
chinery was installed, among other
things a filter, that is a guarantee that
every bottle of water that goes from
the plant is pure. The two waters are
put up in half-gallon bottles and in
five gallon carboys. In this shape the
waters are shipped to every part of the
country, and the demand has grown
from year to year. until now the ship
ments amount to from one to two car
loads per day.
Physicians In various parts of the
country, knowing the superior quality
of the Mecklenburg lthia water and
its Alternative powers. and also know

Long-Tclt Want Met.
/, Numerous physicians urged Colonel
Hughes to try the experiment of pre-
pairing a ginger ale, a combination OF
lithia and ginger, that would meet a
condition which had long been trou-
blesome. This led to the establishment
of the ginger ale works in conjunction
with the litha water and calcium chic
bride bottling works. Mr.. w. Fl. Gillian
who for a number OF years had beer

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL LIFE

Notwithstanding the Fair and the

many of the Americas fair" to the
Capital City; the week has been a
bright and happy one socially, several
smaller card parties and the larger
and brilliant one of Mrs. McCaskell--
already noted in this column-have
made glad the hearts of those who en-
joy a social game.
The week also marked the opening
of the theatrical season, and it is a
matter of sincere regret to all lovers
of good plya, that such unseemingly
behavior prevailed at the initial per-
formance
A few rude and boorish persons,
with their disorder, noise and loud
outlaws at pathetic passages of a
dramatic climax, can ruin the entire
effect of good acting, and spoil the en-

sun WORSHIPFRS
TOOK DEW BATHS
Sent to Restrain Gift TO
Cult Leaders.

Boston, Mass, Oct 24.-Dew baths
of the followers of the Mazdazdan, or
Sun Worshippers, cult were describ-
ed as part of the testimony in the
petition of a conservator over Mrs.
Helen NJ. Shaw of Lowell in the Mid
dlesex Probate Court, at East Cam
bridge, today. The petition is by
Miss Mabel Dutton of Boston, a cou-
sin and others, who seek to restrain
Mrs. Shaw from giving her property
to the followers of DR.. o. 2. Hanish
of Chicago, the leader of the cult
in this country.
While Mrs. Elsie Ditman of Chi
cago was testifying, T. w. Kilt
redge attorney for Miss Dutton
rose and accused Mrs. Mary Eliza
beth Ruth Hilton, high priestess OF
the Lowell Mazdazdan Temple, of
attempting to hypnotic the witness
to prevent her from continuing in
her testimony. The court ordered a
recess, and at it's conclusion Mrs.
Ditman explained how Mrs. Hilton
had been gazing fixedly with her left
eye in line with the left eye of the
witness, following one of the laws
of the Mazdazdan to get one mind
under the control of another. The
witness declared she had been able
to Withstand the test up to that
time, but was very uncomfortable.
Mrs. Hilton was ordered to take a
seat further back in the courtroom.
Mrs. Ditman said she first knew
DR.. Hannish when he was a type
setter on the Desert News in Salt
Lake City ten years ago. He claim
ed to be native of the Far East
and new Christ. she said With
him she went to Chicago, where tenn

pies of Sun Worshippers were opened.
She characterized the teachings at
that time as "profane and obscene.
She said that oil, charcoal, and brio
a-brac purchased from ten-cent
stores was bought and put up as
coil from Assyria,' and the other
articles packed in small packages,
and all sold at high prices as arti-
Giles from the East. Some of these
articles, she testified, were sent to
Mrs. Hilton in Lowell.
Mrs Ditman told the court that
while in Lowell, and before she left
the cult, she saw DR.. Hannish, burn
charcoal and incense to cloud the in
tellects of the cult members and
make them more susceptible to his
teachings and influences. Asked
why the Mazdazdans wore little
clothing, she replied that they be-
lieved the sun could cure all, and
they made obeisances to the sun in
scant clothing that they might be
nearer to it and thus purify the
body.
Miss Alice NJ. Wells of Lowell, a
reporter, testified that she had at
tended some of the meetings of the
Maydayans. There was speaking by
DR.. Hilton and Mrs. Hilton, leaders
of the cult in Lowell and by DR..
Hannish
Il saw DIR. Hanish, the congrega-
ton was singing Peace, Peace, with
Abundance clasp hands with Mrs.
Hilton and kiss her." said Miss Wells.
This occurred only once. The rest
of the congregation went about
singing the hymn and embracing each
other and walking back and forth. !
Idid not see DR.. Hanish kiss any one
but Mrs. Hilton"
Winifred S. Dutton of Dorchester,
husband of the petitioner, testified
that he had known Mr.. and Mrs.
Shaw for ten years, and that in the
last four years he had noted change
in Mrs. Shaw She told him not to
eat meats, because if he did so he
was eating the flesh of his aunts
and uncles."
He said he saw her many times
taking her dew bath. She would
stop and pick sorrel and eat it.
During the examination the court
asked the attorney for the petitioner
not to present evidence bearing too
much on the beliefs and forms of the
Mazdazdans, as it tended to make
DR.. Hanish the defendant instead
of Mrs Shaw. The lawyer replied
that he wanted to show that DR.. Han
ish was the dominating force, and
that Mrs. Shaw was completely under
the domain of the Mazdazdans.

A New Bridge Club.

The initial meeting of the Round
Dozen Club" was held on Thursday
afternoon with Miss Rebecca Mathis
as hostess, and was a most thoroughly
enjoyable occasion.
This cotorie, numbering among its
small membership some of the best
bridge players in the city, has for it's
object the study and enjoyment of the
popular game without the quite unnec-
essary trouble of elaborate entertain
ments. No unusual decorations are
allowed and no refreshments, other
than trays of bonbons or sailed nuts
placed upon the tables.
The players will register their
scores at each meeting and at the end
of the season it will be interesting to
note the scores made during the win
ter. Miss Claude Mclaughlin won the
top score on Thursday afternoon. The
two invited guests were Mrs. Emmett
McNulty and Mrs Henry Allen.

WOMEN GROWING
YOUNGER YEARLY
Time Near When There Will
be no More Old Maids.

Berlin, Oct. 24.-Adele Schrieber,
the famous advocate of women's
rights, has just published an essay
entitled Woman at Her Best" which
is causing much discussion She
says in part:
The time is near when there will
be no more old maids certainly
none ridiculed ON account of their
years Even today women referred
to as old maids are not the scare
crows pictured by writer's as late
as the last of the nineteenth CEN
tuE Women are growing younger
in appearance, in manner and ambi-
tion-at least they impress one as
younger than their birth certificates
warrant.
AS a rule, our women of 35 and
40 are younger looking, more elastic
fresher and more vivacious than men
of the same age. There is an in
creasing number of marriages be-
tween young men and women their
seniors by five or even ten years.
DIR. Schneider quotes from a Swed-
ish womans journal the result of a
query sent to its readers: What are
woman's best years?"
The great majority of the answers
fix woman's best years as between
35 and As One poetical writer states
his opinion as follows
"a woman's best years are the
period when she is still young
enough to appreciate true friendship
A very young person is seldom a
true friend She has not sense
enough, and is too eaten up with he1
own Importance to tolerate the
shortcomings of others. "
Another writer says; Il prefer
the woman of 40 or Whereabouts, the
woman of experience, for experience
alone makes a woman warm hearted
sympathetic and universally kind"
A third opinion offered reads as
follows That woman is at her best
who combines the Observation-Disclosures OF
youth with an appreciation of life's
responsibilities.
