Cincinnati, o.. Aug. 5-Rev.
Frank r. English, pastor OF the Fin
Hey M. e. church of Cincinnati, who
has just returned from Ethel, Miss,
where he was mobbed by a party OF
citizens for shaking
'hands with q colored presiding elder
lat conference of the colored NJ. f..
church, says that 1t was his knowl-
ledge of the Masonic signs that saved
his life when the mob chased him.
He was met by a man at the dor
of the church and slipped out the side
door after retreating into the house,
but the mob caught sight OF him and
igave chase. He ran TO the station OF
the Illinois Central railway station
and there met the station agent. Rev.
Mr.. English gave the signs OF the Ma
scnic order and they were recognized
by the agent The latter took him in
and told his fellow townsmen to be off
and allow the preacher to get out of
the town. They wanted to take Eng
lish out and horsewhip him. but lis
tened to the station master and wait
ed for their victim to emerge. The
man, however, slipped out the back
door of the agents house when the
train came up and escaped.
"The mob had told him to get to
It and to hurry II there was any
hurry left in him. He says he hur-
.ried. There will be no formal in
vestigation OF the affair by the
Freedman's Aid society, which con-
trolls Rust university, IL which DIR.
English was chosen preident.
Secretary M. c. Maon says that
,he can't say who will be chosen to
take DR.. English's place, and that SO
far as he knows he doubts IL any
preparation for filling the presidency
mas been made. The members of the
board of directors will meet here
Aug. II to accept DR.. English's
resignation and to appoint new
man.
DIR. English has been urged by Mr..
Mason and his friends to let THO
matter of the mob rest and take the
place, but DR.. English says, mo, no,

of the society says that the body
Is busy trying to secure another man
for the preidency, and that it is

AS certain savings bank investment

oned for the present term, is 1t not
of most vital importance that all

state congressman, and protect their

has been proposed for Ohio Senators
and Representatives to consider.
The main points which are involved
in this act may be mentioned as fol-
lows:
1st, Why does the Government ac-
cept the Security of savings banks
as provided under State laws of New
York, Connecticut and Massachusetts
only as security for Government de-
posts?
End, What bonds and stocks" are
legal Investments for savings banks
as named under those laws?
3rd, If bonds and stocks which are
named in the laws of the three states
are sufficient security for the Gov
ernment, why should not the State
mutual savings banks. be safe and pro
per repositories for government
money?
4th, II the laws of the three named
states are the only ones that are re-
garded safe for savings deposits, or
for Government deposits, what can
be said for the savings banks of other
states?
5th, If the Government officials
can name bank investment laws of
states which are satisfactory TO them,
why not name laws which might be
satisfactory to all the states?
9Th, II the Government has found
savings investment laws of other states
defective or Objectionable, why not
say so and advise depositors in those
states accordingly?
9TH, II Government officials can
use the brains of the ordinary state
congressman only in deciding gov
ernment security for deposits, why not
have the United States Congress
decide just what State shall furnish
the brains?
Sth, Should we not urge bank de-
positors to send their money to the
savings banks which are favored by
the Government?
9th, What Railroad companies

the Government as deposit securities

GUN THAT RELOADS ITSELF.

Ever since men began to kill each
other. which was very soon after
selfish interests began to clash,
good share OF their leisure time has
been devoted to the elevating pur-
suit of inyenting instruments for
that killing. From the time when
early prowler in the primeval forest
discovered that, by tying to the
end OF a stick the stone destined to
crack the skull OF his enemy, he
could make the crack more surely
as it Is Of his high rank among the
creatures, has been busy over this
problem. How to strike with fatal
effect upon his foe and with safety to
himself has been his study and he
has given birth to many an idea
tending more and more from age to
age to enable him to do this work
by mechanical contrivance.
1t is curious that crudities still
appear in the weapons which the
geniuses OF centuries have labored
to perfect and that our eye should be
opened at this late day to almost
ludicrous imperfections in our most
cherished killing machine, the rife.
Yet 1t Is only few years since the
smoke OF black powder was done
away with and comparatively a mat
ter OF days since young Mr.. Maxim
produced his sound-cho1ing, flame
suppressing device. And now comes
news from Sweden that an inventor
there has found means, at last, to
stop the kick which has made sore
shoulders from the time the first
blunderbuss was discharged, and has
constructed weapon that will drop
men so fast that a single marksman
may dispose Of regiment in an hour.
Eleven hundred and twenty-five
shots to the hour from a gun that
Is carried in the hand and fired from
the shoulder Is high record. II
that gun is smokeless and kickless,
1t is convenient to handle and but
little trouble to operate Swedish
Mr.. Sjorgen has made distinct sub
traction from the demerits of the
rife from the standpoint OF the user.
for his new gun has made this record
and has the new feature. And the
weapon has already taken rank with
the most approved and will doubtless
become a part Of the armament OF
many OF the worlds armies.-Tech-

AN EDITORS PROTEST.
The Light the Citizens Do Not Get.
but Pay For, Is Dear at Any Price.

put ray Tor, Us Lear AZ ANY TTiSe.
A cordial invitation TO highwaymen
is extended by the lighting system Of
Bay City Belated pedestrians on
Broadway. Garfield or other streets in
the south end. as well as on Woodside
avenue and streets in the north end,
will meet dozens of late homegoers
walking In the center of the street.
The universal darkness is the eloquent
explanation. The inky darkness that
prevails under the heavy shade trees
gives the highwayman exactly the op-
portunity he desires. The conditions
are at their best for the exploitation
IF his peculiar talents.
Meanwhile Bay City is getting its
flights at $50 per year" That figure
is cheap. Bay City has about 90
lamps in operation OH the east side,
fed by the east side station. and when
275 lights are credited with the full
number Of hours Of duty every night
In the year it is an easy matter to Sc
cure low figure of cost per light.
But the city doesn't get the light it
pays for, or at least is supposed TO
pay for. If the 275 lamps give but 10
per cent of the full lighting power or
capacity, then the cost per lamp for
the light furnished is % per cent high
er than appears on the books. for the
reason that the city Is paying out
money at sos per lamp for light 1t
doesn't get. The proposition is easy.
Two-thirds Of the lamps on the east
side are not giving light and have not
been giving light for long time.
Only in the downtown and Immediate
ly surrounding districts is light fur
nished. In all the great stretch of ter
ritory south of Fifteenth street not a
light is burning.
North of Madison street and clear
down to Essexviile no lights are or
have been burning for a long time.
Yet for every lamp hanging on the
street corners the property owners
are paying so per year. Truly cheap
light-without the light.
If private corporation were light
ing Bay City, how long would the city
stand for il? How long would it he
before the council would be tearing
the hair Of corporation that SO
shameful!y treated the property own
ers who pay for the light-they don't
get? The answer is easy.
The superintendent says it is the
"wornout machinery proposition the
city is up against, and yet in the suit
between the city and the local electric
company, tried in neutral territory,
Flint. it developed and was admitted
by the city that there was ample pow
er at the electric lighting plants for
adequate street lighting purposes.

isfaetion Over Supposed Low Cost

The report OF the city electrician Of
Chicago for last year is somewhat Of
a disappointment. In the previous re-
port the customary false statement
that the total cost per street arc was
1920 was modified ten pages further
on by an admission that there is
some justice in the contention that
various omitted items of cost should
be included-in fact, that he would
have made out full statement of the
items if the National Civic federation
had not undertaken to do the same
thing in q thorough and impartial
manner. In the present report how
ever appears the same false statement,
total cost per lamp $685." again
modified on another page by the ad
mission that this is not the total cost.
The other items are not given because
they ARE not readily ascertained,"
and the figures given in the National
Civic federation report are not quoted
because they differ In some respects
from those obtained by the Reform
club five years before. All this, of
course, was to delude the citizens into
the belief that the. municipal plant
was furnishing lights ut cost lower
than private company would charge.
This report neither deceived nor sat
isfied Mayor Busse. AS a result an
investigation has been made by an en-
gineer Of the highest standing and by
q reliable accountant. Their report,
just made public, shows that in 1907
the cost per arc was $S1.6 instead Of
the 1928 claimed as The total cost"
Even this higher amount includes in
terest on only about half the invest
ment under the mistaken idea that in
some occult way a depreciation charge
pays off the capital. This mistake
would not have been made If the plant
had been built by bond issues instead
Of by appropriations. An interest
charge on the entire investment,
which alone affords basis for fair
comparison with private enterprise,
would have made the cost per lamp
500 20. AS a private company had Of
fered to take the entire lighting con-
tract at $50 or less and give better
service. we are now able 10 get an au-
lhoritative estimate OF what Chicago
has lost by municipal ownership.

EATING TOO MUCH.
Ovsrnutrition 10 Just as Harmful as
MaInutrition.


1t is an acknowledged fact that al.
most every soul of us eats too much.
The digestive organs are constantly
overturned and finally weakened.
When wisely followed, the practice of
fasting can be most beneficial. An ex-
pert OH the food question has said that
one should rise from the table with
the feeling of hunger, which is an eX-
perience known TO very few of u.s..
On the contrary, the majority of peo
pie leave the board with a sense Of
burden which only an hours siesta
can alleviate. This is not so much
owing to the fact that the food is un
commonly rich, for the rule of the
simple life obtains now in the fash.
ionable cuisine, but it Is the quantity
taken. There is large community at
the present moment which fasts from
breakfast time till dinner at night. 1t
is a question II It is wise to leave the
stomach entirely without food during
all those hours, but there Is no Ques-
ton that the lighter the lunch taken
the better will be the health Of the
individual. BY Eight lunch" in this
instance is meant what most people
would not call lunch at all-that IS
to say, few crackers with cheese
IA much maligned article Of diet. a
few nuts and a bit of fruit or a cup
of cocoa with dry toast. Such a
feast" prevents the craving for food
and In no way taxes the digestive or
gans. Overnutrition is just as harm
full as malnutrition and is far more
frequently the cause Of maladies
With judicious fasting the system re-
covers its lost tone, and mental work
ers would find that the brain worked
with surprising lightness, for the brain
is one of the chief sufferers from over
eating.-New York American.
