pleasing the patrons, at the same time
no extra charge will be made for the
additional features, the prices of ad-
mission remaining 10 and cents as
usual.
This will furnish one of the last
chances for friends of baseball and
the home club in particular to contri-
butte to the successful close of the seas
on. The home team has played con-
sistent ball this season and has stayed
right around the top in the percentage
column. This fact entities them to
better support than they have receiv
ed, but the success of the show tonight
will help matters considerably, and al
who can attend should do so, not only
on account of the excellent program
but as evidence of interest in the home
ball team.
There will be two good pictures
and Wednesday the Lomo will presen
Faust in two colored reels.

EDISON SAYS DEATH MYSTERY
MAY BE SOLVED.

Paris, Aug. 21.-That the mystery
of life after death may soon be solved,
il the belief of Thomas A. Edison, as
expressed In an interview today.
Mr.. Edison has been interested in
the surgical experiments OF DR.. Carrel
at the Rockefeller Institute. He said:
"Dr. Carrel has succeeded in graft
ing the leg of dog which had been
cut of and kept in cold storage back
onto an animal so that the grated leg
became normal again." said Mr.. Edi-
son.
"Such successful experiment in
spires the imagination; it prompts one
to ask II the great question of con
seriousness after death may not even
tually be solved in some such man
ner.
IF some day tie scientists arrive
at a point where the human body at
ter life is extinct, can be thus pre-
served and after an indefinite time
through the trarsfusion of life-givine
blood on fluid, be brought back to re
eume its normal functions. who car
say that we may not learn DEFINITELY
II there is consciousness after death.

ENGLISH STRIKE
Continued from Page OneJ

hoods were centered this afternoon
in getting a train from Euston station
to Liverpool to connect with the llhef
Celtic, which had succeeded, with the |
aid of warships, in getting out of the
hands of strikers. One of the impor-
tant transatlantic liners posted no.
tices that passengers would have to
make their way to Liverpool as pest
they could. No regular passenger lists
could be. made up, but passengers were
assured if they could get aboard the
ships there would be fair chance OF
getting back to America.
A few belated refugees showed up
at the Euston station. All carried
hampers of food.
1t was announced that the Cornia
would sail tomorrow.
The announcement of the settle
ment of the strike was received with
great joy throughout the whole coun-
try.
ready the pinch of hunger had begun
to be felt in London, Manchester and
other great centers Of population, and
there was grave danger that the suf'
fering would become acute. Then
the constantly and rapidly increasing
number of men thrown out Of employ
ment in all parts of the country way
becoming a very great menace.
Urged by hunger. it was feared ITO
: great mass of the unemployed might
become entirely unmanageable ant
even the full available strength Of t.
army would not be adequate to pre-
serve order.
These fears and the Serious breakius
up Of the business routine had op
pressed Great Britain like a hideou'
nightmare,
The relief can hardly be overesti
= mated.
The settlement is in large measure
a personal triumph for Chancellor Da
vid Lloyd George From the very frs
the strikers have declared they would
trust Lloyd-George, and Lloyd-Georgt
only, as the representative executive
of the government in any attempt tC
reach a settlement.
