Sidney Whitman, Bismarcks old
friend and biographer has established
friendly relations with the present
chancellor, Prince Won Buelow, who
has just made him the mouthpiece for
an interview calculated to mollify
England and lessen the tension arising
from the Moroccan situation. For the
chauvinists in either country, who are
perpetually tanning the flames Of
hatred, the chancellor has nothing but
contempt. He intimates that Germany
will soon show in some unmistakable
way her determination to be a factor
for peace, and her friendliness for
Great Britain. Especially significant
is his declaration that the dominant
influence in the world is neither Eng
land nor Germany, much less any
single individual in either country y
but rather the worlds conscience"
often called public opinion. This is a
striking tribute to the effect which
scrutiny of national policies by an
audience, international and inter-
racial in makeup, is having on the ma
tions and their controlling officials.

Conquer your moods; don't let your
moods conquer you. People who give
way to moods never amount to much,
because they are never masters OF
themselves. They never know in the
morning whether they are going to do
a good days work or not, whether
they are going to be a cheering or a
depressing influence on the people
around them. If they feel like being
good-tempered, they will be; If they
feel like Swapping" at everybody, they
Will snap. People who suffer from
''moOds" should be careful about their
habits. They should be regular about
meals, sleep, exercise and work The
condition of the health has much to do
with moods, and there is nothing that
contributes so much to health as alb
solute regularity.

Hand Embroidery on Blouse,

Hand embroidery is not positively
necessary as a means of introducing
color in a blouse, although little
hand-work of this sort is very desira-
BILE. Very fine and dainty embroideries
of batiste, with embroidered vines or
dot patterns in color, are to be had,
and can be introduced as trimming in
combination with a little valenciennes
or cluny lace in a blouse of sheer
white fabric. White null frills, seal
loped in color, are also good in the
finer machine-made embroideries.

1t is natural to overestimate the
wealth of millionaires. Probate courts
and executors are constantly proving
how exaggerated many Of the esti-
mates are. Legrand Powers Of the
United States census bureau, in the
current American Journal Of Sociol-
Ogy, deals statistically and logically
with claims that are made against
millonaires as class, and shows
that either the census estimates Of
the wealth of the entire population
are ridiculously small or the popular
estimates of the relatively few mil
lionaire fortunes are exaggerated. He
stands by the census estimates, in the
main, and denies that there is any
such concentration Of wealth as has
been assumed by some economists, as
well as by popular demagogues.

Women Would Vote on Bond Issue

Women Would Vote on Bond Issue.
The Womans Civic league of Allan
ia has passed a resolution asking the
city council to allow women to vote on
a proposed bond issue of $1,500,OO0.
The league points cut that Atlanta has
many women property holders who
have the good Of their city at heart;
that in many instances their property
is the result of their own efforts. and
that if women know how to make mon
ey and how to take care of it they
certainly should have the right to say
for what purpose and by whom their
taxes should be expended.

will it be a success?

ELEPHANTS TRAINED TO WORK.
Experiment Declared to Have Been
Attended with Success.

African elephants, hitherto regarded
as valuable only for their ivory, are
now being domesticated at Api, in the
Kongo. A small herd of young ele-
plants has been kept in captivity
there for several years and finally
after much effort in training them, sat
isfactory results have been obtained
Already the oldest members OF the
elephant farm do the porterage and
traction work of the station. They
carry drivers on their backs and pack
saddles with loads. Some draw Wag-
onettes and others are trained to draw
the plow None of the animals is more
than seven years old and since the In
dian elephants are most efficient at the
adult age, Is years, 1t is believed even
better results may be looked for. Nor
tality among the elephants newly cap
tured has been great, and as yet 1t
has not been possible to attempt to
breed them in captivity, but expert
ence is solving the problems Of domes-
tication; the deaths are now few and
fresh recruits are being constantly
added. Eventually, it is expected, ele-
phant caravans will be established.
Success in the undertaking means a
great deal for the future of the coun-
try. Despite railroads and steamboat
lines, the Kongo will always be a
country of forests and of savannas in
tersected with swamps, for the travers-
ing of which elephants may prove in
dispensable. In the region OF vast
plains cut by rivers and swampy
streams of the Uele district the ele-
plants thrive. They live especially in
the marshy regions, feeding on the
grass Of the plains in the early morn
ing and returning to the shelter OF
nearby forests when the suns rays
grow warm. Rarely are the solitary
"rogue" elephants met in the Kongo.
The African species are found gen.
orally in families of three to six indi'
viduals, but troops Of 20, 80 or 100 are
not rare, and witnesses even affirm
that troops of several hundred exist.
Stunning man, and as rule fleeing
at his approach, the African elephant
when attacked often shows fight, and
is dangerous prey. Kongo specimens
have very large ears, that even
stretch back beyond the neck and
cover part of the flank. In color the
Kongo elephants are of a grayish blue
almost slate-like tint. No one has
ever reported seeing specimens of the
sacred white elephant Of India there
In size Kongo elephants have been
killed more than IA feet high at the
withers and reckoned at more than
eight tons in weight. Tusks obtained
are sometimes more than 200 pounds
in weight and 61s feet in length.

he gave the child q severe reprimand
and threatened to thrash 1t. Mrs.

table and. without uttering a word,
took deliberate aim and fired at his
wife as she was seated facing him.
Then he killed himself.
