WHERE BIG EARS ARE STYLISH.
East African Tribes Grow Lobes To
Hold Stones and Pots.

DIR. John Bland Sutton. F. r. c. s.,
has just returned to England from
British East Africa. where he made
a study of very extraordinary phase
of fashion and deformity' among the
Nasal and Wa-Kiyuyu tribes. These
natives believe that an enormously dis
tended ear is a sure sign of beauty
and refinement, and they spare them
selves neither pain nor inconvenience
to make their ears big.
If those people would let their ears
alone they would have remarkably
small and well-shaped lobes. But they
prefer ears like those shown in the &C
companying illustration. One of the
favorite methods employed by the fol-
lowers of fashion is to pierce the lobe
of the ear and insert small wedge
made of wood Gradually this hole is
enlarged by the introduction of thick

cylinders of wood, a ran, or a

serted in the lobules of the men.
Sometimes the women prefer to fill
the holes in their ears with large
rings made of small beads threaded
on thin wire. These bead rings are
not only used in the large hole made
in the lobe, but the women often have
long slit made through the concha
and rings of beads are fitted into it.

MEET DEATH IN
FIERCE BLAZE
Newark, n. J., the Scene Of Bad Fire, Resulting
in Loss OF Great Number OF Lives.

An immense crowd congregated and
it took the police reserves from five
precincts to handle the situation.
One Of the spectators said that at
least Is girls had jumped from the
fourth floor.
They stayed at the windows until,
frenzied by the flames behind them
and nearly suffocated by the smoke,
they leaped to the street.
With the exception of two girls en-
ployed by the Aetna company, all
the employees on the first and second
floors escaped unhurt The two who
were injured were Sadie Hanson and
Mrs. Margaret Molanthy. They were
burned about the head and face.
Twenty four Of the injured were
taken to St. Michael's hospital. Of
these two died. Life nets were put
into use Immediately after the arrival
Of the fremen. Perhaps thirty lives
were saved in this way One girl,
Hattie Delaney, was badly hurt.
She miscalculated the leap and struck
the edge of the net, falling to the
pavement. Hoppe Diehl was also
injured when she leaped for the net
Eugene McHugh, a foreman IN the
employ Of the Aetna company, was
among the first to realize the serious
ness of the situation and guided sew
eral score of girls to safety down the
fire escape. Less than twenty min
utes after the arrival of the fremen
the interior of the building was flame
swept. The floors of the upper part
of the building fell shortly afterwards.
It is believed a search of the ruins
will reveal other bodies.
Among those who were early at the
scene was Rev. e. E. Quirk, assistant
rector of St. Joseph's church. He
gave the last rites to seven of the

NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 26.-In a
disastrous factory fire here today 2e
lives are known to have been lost, 80
persons were injured, some probably
fatally. Nearly all the victims were
young women workers in the manu-
featuring plant of the building, four
story structure. which took fire from
an explosion on the third floor. Loss
of life and injury was heaviest among
the factory girls on the top floor, who
were trapped by the quick spres ding
Of the flames. Some Of them jumped
to safety in fire nets and others to
their death or serious injury on the
pavements below.
There is an engine house next door
to the factory, but before the fremen
could give any assistance at least 20
o4 LAS gins 1du JuIipGu.
The building in which the fire
occurred is a four story structure.
The first and second floors were occu-
pied by the Newark Paper Box com
pany. The third floor was occupied
by che Aetna Electric company makers
of lamps. The fourth floor was used
by Louis Wolf, manufacturer of
underclothes. It is believed that the
blaze started on the second floor in
the rear among a lot Of rubbish.
Within a minute or two after it was
noticed it had made it's Way into
q lot Of waste paper from which it
connected with the upper floors. In
all, about 200 persons were employed
in the building.
Jennie Gill, who was employed by
Wolf, said she was in room on the
fourth floor with Anna Hague, the
forewoman, and Anna Smith and Aug
usta Ebert.
Miss Hague discovered smoke and
ran to window. Panie-stricken,
she mounted to the sill and plunged
into space. Miss Gill went to fire
escape and was about to leap when
the firemen raised ladder and
brought her down.

Petty Postal Economies

There IS no little danger that in.
seeking to enforce more rigid economy
IN the government service a loss in
efficiency will result. For this reason
It is likely the special board appointed
by the president to cut down expenses
will find it necessary to view with the
closest attention all the plans submitted
for promoting economy.
One proposal which has already en-
countered criticism is a plan suggested
by the Postoffce Department to save
money in the registry division, amount
ing to some thousands Of dollars annu-
ally, by not returning to the sender a
receipt for a registered letter or pack
age unless an explicit request is made
for it.
One Of the principal things which
makes the registry service ef%ectual and
desirable is the return of receipts to the
sender, showing the person to whom
the article was addressed received it.
Many persons will not think about the
new rule and there will De a food Of
complaints following the putting into
effect Of such a rule, which will be
likely to convince the department the
rule was unWise.
Another result will be a decrease in
registry business. The latter, probably,
is not looked for or desired, but it will
follow. Economy is a good thing, but
it has always been held heretofore, in
the Postofice Department especially,
that efficiency should come ahead Of
economy. Otherwise, means might
long ago have been found to cut ex-
penses, and the rural free delivery
service, among other things, would not
have been inaugurated.

Oriental Limited leaves Passengers

When the Oriental Limited pulled
out Of the station at Wenatchee a few
days ago it left two Of its passengers
behind. Mrs. 4. K. Pierson Of Jack
sonviLle, ILL.,, on her way to Portland,
and Mrs. H. E. Cleveland Of Burling-
ton, Wash, left the train at Wenatchee
to look around, and failed to hear the
conductor call IAN aboard!' and a
few moments later made the discovery
the train had gone on without them.
Mrs. Cleveland had left everything
on the train, even her purse, which
contained her money and ticket. They
appealed to the ticket agent for aid,
and he furnished Mrs. Cleveland with
the necessary funds and sent the two
ladies' to a hotel. He then telegraphed
ahead and got in touch with No. l at
this place and had the property Of the
two ladies left here. They secured
their baggage and money Saturday
morning as they passed through.

Beware of All travelling Vendors

A travelling spectacle vendor from a
neighboring town was working the peo-
pie oil L~eavenworth this week. It the
people are wise in their day and gen
Grafton they will have nothing to do
with a travelling spectacle vendor, OF a
vendor Of anything that a be bought
from a reliable dealer right here at
home, usually for less money.
# the glasses you buy from the tra7-
cling vendor do not fit your eyes, as
they are almost sure not to after you
have worn them a day or two, the
spectacle man is gone. You have his
glasses and promise to fit you; but he
is gone with your good money, and
you do not know where ne is.
II you deal with a man who is estab-
lished here, your glasses will most
likely cost less, and you may rest as
sured he is compelled to make every
promise good. Why? Simply because
you can make him. He is where you
can get at him, and he has property
that is subject to execution if he will
not do the square thing.
Moral-Buy your s~pectacles from an
established man.

A LING for PLAY

It was left for the town of Armenia,
NY, to proclaim a rural field day
where the boys and girls from the
country could come together for a days
pleasure and recreation. Some Of the
principles set forth in calling together
this affair deserve to be followed BY
every town and hamlet. Most ruthfully
do they say:
You have got to make the county
as attractive socially as the city, if you
want to keep the young folks on the
farm.
There's a good deal of work in the
country, but most Of u boys and girls
have forgotten how to play.
Have the boys and girls forgotten
how to play? If so. they need a few
days like this to take up some Of the
old games. Baseball has taken up too
much attention. It's a fine game, but
only a few can take part in It. There
are many other games that are not only
as interesting to watch, but in which
everyone can take part. Let Us by all
can have a playtime as well as a
time for work.
