A CHINESE sTRArAeEm.
Legend Of How Projected Invasion

tiers. 1t is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council of his
generals and mandarins. and dpon the
advice Of crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails trees were planted on the deck.
the vessel was manned by numerous
crew of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital. When it arrived-the
most wonderful part of the story Is
that it did arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long 1t had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In confederation Of
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which, they said. had been stout
iron bars as thick as a mans arm when
they started. "You can see," they
concluded. that China must be a very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.

Liquidation Has Taken Place Extern
sively and Weak Accounts
Eliminated.
Special TO The Ne,US.

New York, Jan. 25.-The downward
movement in stocks received a fresh
impetus this week by the sensational
break in Columbus & Hooking Coal &
Iron. Other influences have been at
work unsettling market confidence,
hence the decline, which has been an
ticipated in these advices for some
time past. Values have now declined
from to Is points on the active
stocks, while many of the high-priced
issues have fallen as much as 80
points since the high figures of 1903.
This is a pretty severe break, and
as there are no important changes in
fundamental conditions it suggests
that the market is approaching, if it
has not already reached, bedrock
level. Liquidation has taken place
upon very extensive scale weak ac-
counts have been eliminated, unfa-
vorable developments pretty thorough
ly discounted and the bank situation
materially strengthened by the calling
in of the loans and strengthening of

OLD EPIGRAMS FALSE;
NEW IDEAS ON HEALTH
Chicago Health Department Of
fers Substitutes

Kiss goodby to all those old house
hold sayings that we biindly thought
held so much of helpful truth. The
Chicago health department says they
are only dirty epigrams,' and has pro-
scribed them. In their stead it gives
us a bunch of so called "healthgrams'
which are the concrete expression of
the accumulated knowledge of the city's
official doctors.
These are some of the folk sayings"
that are sent to limbo:
One must eat a peck Of dirt before he dies.
The street child is healthy.
People were healthier in the good old days.
goat keeps stable healthful.
Gas works are good for consumption.
In lieu of what is taken from us,
what do we get? Here are few sam
les-"healthgrams" all:
Open windows close the door to consumption.
Your lungs can't be washed out, but they can
be aired
One Hy swatted in May is equal to one million
Mothers milk for babies; cows milk for
calves.
Floods of sunshine in the home may. fade the
carpets but 1t puts the bloom of health on your
cheeks. Take your choice
In justifying its edict against the
dirty epigrams' the department says:
The peck of dirt idea is capable of
doing great harm, especially in the
feeding of children.
'The child who lives in those parts
of the town where children play in the
streets because there is no other place
for them to play stands the poorest
chance of surviving. The child death
rate in those parts is fAghtfully high,
as compared with others portions of
the town.

works are untrue. Each can do harm,

SAN JOSE, June 12.-Mrs. Fred Can

near Gilroy was the heroine of a thrill
ling runaway accident in the southern
part of the valley yesterday, when she
saved her life and the life of her child
by coolheaded resourcefuIness.
With her horse galIoping at top
speed and the light rig which she was
driving swaying dizzily, She clambered
over the back of the seat. Several per-
sons, helpless to assist her, held their
breath as. though much hampered by
her skirts, she accomplished this feat.
She then lowered the child over the
back of the rig, its feet pointed under
neaht the vehicle and its head as far
back as possible, so that when she
dropped it it did not strike on its head,
but slid along the dusty roadway. Mrs.
Candee followed the babe and escaped
with slight scratches. The babe suf-
fered a sprained ankle

TRAINING OF SOLDIERS
IMPROVES WILL POWER
Experiments in Austria Show
Result of Fatigue

That military training strengthens
the power of the will was shown by re-
cent experiments in Austria. To de-
termine what effect the fatigue result
ing from a long march might have
upon the shooting efficiency of trained
soldiers, the Austrian school of mus
kerry recently had a cyclist detach-
ment of so men, all over two years
service, do Is miles in eight hours, the
return journey being against a strong
head wind. Before and after the march
they each fred 10 rounds at a target
representing a section of 26 men in
skirmishing order lying down at 500
PAGES, says the Chicago News.
Before the march the detachment
made 30 hits on 10 figures; after the
march, 80 hits on 16 figures.
The experiment was then repeated
with a section of ~ noncommissioned
officers, before and after 2S hours
exercise in the field, during which 80
miles were covered. This section, con-
sisting principally of marksmen, made
81 hits on 81 out of 26 figures before
starting and 62 hits on 20 figures after
their return.
But the raw recruit when subjected

MOTHERS ADVISED TO
DEVELOP CHARACTER
They Are the Real Conserva-

DENVER, Colo, June I2-Mothers
are the real conservationists of this
country, Miss Elizabeth Harrison, pres
ident Of the Chicago kindergarten col
lege, told the national congress Of
mothers convention at its session here
this afternoon. She advised them to
study psychology. better to equip them
selves for their duties in this direction.
The conservation of our natural re-
sources will avail US little,' Miss Har-
rison declared, unless our spiritual
forces also are conserved. In COM
mercial circles character is sought
after and pay is always forthcoming
for reliable character. The mothers of
the land have in charge the conserva-
tion and development of the most pre-
ciOus Of our natural resources"
Miss Harrison urged that ''the study
of motor nerves, brain centers and the
like is the study Of the instruments of
the soul, which it is the duty Of moth
ers to develop.
An informal reception for Miss Har-
rison was arranged for tonight. but
she was excused by reason of a head

settled upon the 81 passengers of the

they were informed that instead of

have to spend another week in quaran-

sion of the day was baseball game
between two teams of japanese sailors.
The deepest roar was from the Brit

were many who were hurrying home
to take part in golf tournaments and
other popular athletic events.

anese sailors did much to dispel the
gloom. They arranged wrestling
matches. jiu jitsu contests, fancy
fencing of ferocious kind and Japa-

Courts to Settle Fight
TSpeciol Dispotch TO The Call

GUTHRIE, Okla, June 12.-The courts
viii be called upon by Guthrie to deter
mine the legality of the state capital
removal initiative bill which was voted
upon by the people of the state yester-
day. resulting in its adoption by per-
haps 10000 majority. A light vote was
polled throughout the state. Guthrie
citizens. as a rule, admit the bill has
carried.
The general opinion is that Governor
Haskell. who early espoused Oklahoma
City for the permanent capital location,
will issue a proclamation after mid
night declaring the initiated bill has
carried and that Oklahoma City is the
states capital.
It is even reported that Haskell, if it
should become necessary, will order out
the state militia to enforce his procla-
nation. The citizens of Guthrie have
taken the position that the compact
with the federal government that the
temporary capital should remain at
p Guthrie until after 1913 is binding.
