ORIGIN OF THE GUN SALUTE
Inspired by Desire of One Nation to
Show FriendIiness for Ships
of Another.

The origin of the salute with guns
is supposed to have been inspired by
the desire of one nation to make
show of friendliness for the ships of
another In the old days of smooth
bore and muzzle-loading cannon 1t re-
quired several minutes to load and
fire the gun. and this lapse of time
was meant to indicate a friendship
trust in the mission of the warship OF
another power.
In the beginning of the salute in the
United States the one for the Union
gave one gun for each state. Finally
the national salute was fixed at TWEEN
ty.one guns. The president as well as
the presidents of foreign republics
and sovereigns Of foreign states are
saluted with twenty-one guns. The
salute for ambassadors Of this or 9th
er nations is nineteen guns. The vice
president of the United States also is
entitled to Eineteen-gun salute.
Admirals and cabinet members are
entitled to seventeen guns, ministers
plenipotentiary and vice admirals fif-
tecn, and the commanding officer of a
ship of war seven.

THE JEWISH HERALD
A NOVEL GOOD SAMARITAN
HS Carries on Great Work Among
Criminal Glasses Under Cover
OF Silence.

Somewhere in this broad country
of ours there is man quietly and
silently working among the fallen and
degraded ones of earth and accom-
plishng wonderful results, He is
man Of stern initiative with great
courage of conviction and the meth
DDS he uses in doing his work are
simple and essentially logical
For years he has been moving
among criminals of all descriptions,
raising thereto a respectable posi-
tion and starting them again along
the path of virtue His method,
little peculiar, is very simple. He
meets the criminal on his own level
extracts a confession from him, gets
his confidence and treats him as an
equal For drug fiends, drunkards
and that class of criminals he OBJ
tains medical treatment, establishes
them in good physical health, gets
them a job and places them on a
footing level with the active, self
respecting world They respect this
treatment and treat him square in
return. and seldom ever do they 80
back to their former life of crime.
This kind of work our novel Good
Samaritan considers recreation and
adventure, and the good works he
has done along these lines can never
be estimated Seldom does he fail in
converting case. and the most
unique side of his methods is that
he entertains these poor fallen ones
at his home with all the honor and
respect due to men and women OF
honor and good reputation. The drunk
ard. drug fiend, safe cracker, Mag
dalen and professional crook are all
represented among his converts.
The strapgest thing about this
man is that he refuses to let his
whereabouts or identity be known to
the general public He prefers to
work silently and unknown to fame.

people has been at least temporarily
impaired. A period Of rest is needed
for recuperation. A good many fall
ures have taken place during the past
six months. and more are to be anti
cipated. Lower prices for commodi-
ties. however. and time for recupera-
ton will gradually work out a better
and sounder situation. Labor is still
generally well employed and securing
good wages; SO hat there should be
no serious abatement in the consump-
ton of necessities. Luxuries only
should suffer. Should the crops turn
out satisfactorily, and should the
country escape any unfavorable polit-
ical developments, we may look for a
resumption of trade activities next fall
and winter. Disappointment, however
in either OF these respects would in
evitably affect trade injuriously; hence
a period Of caution and waiting is ne
cessary, until the possible outcome of
these elements can be fairly estimated.

have been able to strengthen their

report Of March %. The improvement
in bank reserves, however, has been
chiefly In the east and central west.
Many OF the southern and southwest
ern institutions still show decline in
reserve strength. In these sections no
doubt further ~liquidations will be in
order; but the pressure imposed by in
etrior bankers, unwelcome as it may
have been, will inevitably result in
strengthening the credit situation.
There is still more or less apprehen-
sion OF a money squeeze in certain
sections OF the interior. though the
increased working power Of money

gate any undue stringency. The New

Warm weather and beneficial rains
