COLD UNPRECEDENTED.

Chicago, Jan. What was looked
upon as an exciting weather drama,
when the present stressful cold was
in process of sweeping eastward from
the Rockies and from Medicine Hat to
the Atlantic seaboard, is fast assuming

posure and suffering. Already the
blight of the severe cold has been felt
in many Western cities.
Fifty or more persons, score of
whom are in hospitals with injuries
that may prove fatal, were the victims
of accidents in Washington today as a
result of the sleet and snow which con-

Also Discharged = Situation
Grows Intense.

Washington, Jan. S.-Gifford Pin

he would be unfaithful to his trust if
he submitted longer.

what the dismissal of Forester Pinchot
means in political way. He has been
convinced for some time that the So
called insurgents" and other critics
of his administration had enlisted the
services of Mr.. Pinchot and practi-
cally were defying him to dismiss Pin.

GIRLS TO LEARN CARPENTRY

Jobs at which to amuse themselves.
The cult OF carpentry is entered into
seriously.
At various conspicuous country
places girls who keep abreast Of the
times have formed classes at which
practical carpentry is taught.
To procure a good teacher for such
class is also necessary to its sue
cess. A few of the most capable
teachers are women. Boston espe-
cially has provided a number.
The moment of intense interest oc-
ours when the class is promoted from
the general practice work on which
one has left her mark to the beginning

first choice of a girl is to make a table

the pupil when she finishes her first
