Shade from the glare of the sun Is

what is ugly and out of keeping with
the surroundings. In the village we

which we are afflicted in the name of

was exceedingly scarce. Yet when you
pick them up they generally void two

large water sacks on the back, and
these afford them their water supply.

During rants first term his secre-
tary of the navy, Borie. for time
turned the actual administration over
to Admiral Porter Admiral Porter
was a sailor In the strict chronological
sense of the term in that he believed
there was nothing like sails. As soon
as he was in authority he caused the
four bladed propeIlers of the vessels
to be removed and replaced by two
bladed ones in order that the ships
might maneuver better under sail. The
ineficiency thereby brought about is.
of course, apparent to any engineer, as
the size of the propeller opening was
fixed and the two bladed screw could
not be made large enough. A few years
later in report to the department he
actually claimed that the vessels were
faster under steam with the mutilated
screws The facts, Of course, were just
the reverse, and when his influence be-
fitted. This was when he was still in
his prime and his judgment was. at
least. not impaired by age. About
twenty years later, when the Roach
cruisers were being built. the dear old
man, then over seventy, went before
the naval committee and said that the
plans of these vessels were wrong be-
cause they had only auxiliary sail
power. In his Judgment they should
have been given full sail power with
steam as an auxiliary. He was still a
sailor! The world had not moved for
him.-Engineering Magazine.

WOMEN WRANCLE IN
HOUSE OF WORSHIP
Jewish Temple Scene Of Most
Spirited Debate.

Cincinnati, O., Dec. This is a
house of God, and 1, As chairman of
the committee on meetings, will not
tolerate such conduct as is being en-
acted here" exclaimed Mrs. David
Philipson at special session in the
Avondale temple called by President
Rosenberg to pass upon the expul-
sion of the Cleveland section of the
National Council of Jewish Women.
The early part of the program was
run off smoothly, and about the time
the delegates were to leave for their
respective places of abode the an
nouncement of special meeting was
made.
President Rosenberg arose and said
that she would compel the Cleveland
section to reply to the report of the
arbitration committee on it's expul-
sion. She said that before she would
accept a denomination this would
have to be done Every woman in
the meeting was on her feet at once
with something to say in favor or
against this.
At this period Mrs. Philipson utter
ed the exclamation given above. AT
ter much discussion, during which
the matter took on a heated aspect,
it was finally decided by rising vote
to have the Cleveland section send its
ultimatum to the meeting not later
than Tuesday evening at o'clock.
The question as to the legality of the
arbitration committee, because of its
makeup, was questioned, but was
overruled The Cleveland section
must either resign or abide by the
constitution to retain it's membership

SUNSHINE TRIP.
Valuable Method of Boosting Home

Valuable Method of Boosting Home
Interests and Attracting Trade.
A splendid method Of helping on To-
cal trade and home interests has been
adopted by the Mercantile club of
Kansas City, Kan. This is nothing less
than a sunshine trip. The best BOOM
ers and hustlers in the club start out
on tour of nearby and contributory
points. Fifty-two stops are made, three
Of them overnight At every place
touched the praises of Kansas City are
sung, friendship is cultivated and trade
solicited At the three all night stops
stereopticon lectures are delivered.
This method can be adopted by every
town, the radius of the trip being de-
termined by the size of the place, its
natural trade radius and the opinion
Of those having 1t in charge. Such
sunshine trips will prove of inestima-
bic value in more ways than one. They
will make everybody concerned more
optimistic and more friendly, which
means general betterment. 1t will
show outlying points that the mer-
chants Of the town sending out the del
egation are enterprising, which counts
for great deal. 1t will engender a
friendly spirit, which counts for a
great deal more. Mere physical con-
tact breaks down barriers of prejudice
and creates bond of sympathy, which,
be it slight or strong, is yet worth con-
sidering. Moreover, such trip is a
novel and striking advertisement. 1t
focuses public attention in a powerful
because a unique way. 1t helps indi-
vidual merchants participating in it
and the town In which they do bust
ness. 1t furnishes a pleasant outing
and broadens the outlook and the ac-
Quaintance. In word, it is method
of carrying on a business campaign,
somewhat spectacular perhaps, but
this is an age that calls for somewhat
spectacular methods Besides, this is
not spectacular in any offensive or un-
worthy sense.

SIX DAY BIKE RACE is ON
First Day of international Contest In
Madison Square Garden.


New York, Dec. The six day BIZ
cycle race, formerly one of the prom
inent events in the sporting year and
still of much interest to the bicycle
fiends," is again being ridden in Mad
ison Square Garden. AS usual, the
race has called together in the great
amphitheater a crowd of enthusiasts
and the well known scenes of enthu-
siasm are enacted every time one of
the favorites attempts to gain a lap
on his competitors.
America, France, Italy, Germany
and Holland are represented in the
race. Among the favorites is the Ger
man-Holland team, Walter Rutt and
Johan Stul, winners of last years
grind. The opinion is freely expressed
that they will repeat the perform
ance. The other foreign riders as
well as the Yankees have plenty of
supporters, however, and the race is
considered by impartial judges one
of the most open of recent years.
