Edison on Moving Pictures

Edison on Moving Pictures
No one has ever charged
Thomas Edison with being a
cheap panderer to the vicious
tastes of a. debased society.
Rather he has been always a
friend and uplifter of the race,
and it is by Mr.. Edison that
such words as these are written:
Moving pictures bring to
everyone an absolutely clear
idea of foreign peoples through
their customs and through
lscenes of the world and through
the industries and pursuits Of
man. They have a tremendous

A Defect

A certain skeptic was con-
tending before a minister that
the work of the Creator was
manifestly imperfect. "Have
you not yourself" he asked,
noted defects in the human
organism, for instance, and
thought of better contrivances?"
To his delight there was the
frank reply. "Why, yes, l really
think l hav.>." In what re-
'pect% "Why," drawled the
parson, "you see, when l want
70 shut out anything disagree
able from my sight, l can draw
Town my eyelids, and it's all
done; but, unfortunately, /
haven't any flaps to my ears"
Free conversation ceased at
about that point. Christian

Editor Times Will you give
space for the following which
is to my mind pertinent and
exactly to the point at the pres
ent time. | understand Supt.
Bryan advocates as wearing APP
parel for the graduating class
at the coming graduating ex-
ercises, a costume which will
be uniform and can be had for
a rental of 81 SO. This strikes
me as entirely appropriate and
a departure which would result
in good to the Mo. Valley high
school. It would be a hardship
on some patrons of the school
to dress their children so they
could appear and feel as well
clothed as those who are more
favored.
| can remember the most
notifying experience l had
while attending school was not
being able to dress so we'll as
others. Pupils when gradual
ing are at that age when this
experience has a telling effect
and should be eliminated so
far as practicable. We boast
of our free schools while as a
matter of fact the expense has
increased until poor people
have a hard time putting their
children through the graded
schools. just recently the
seniors contemplated purchas-
ing class emhlems at a cost of
$625 each but finally adopted
one at a cost of So Is, which in
dictates only one item of ex
Ipense. Can poor pupils meet
such an experience and con
ItinuA in school? | think not
and feel it the duty of parents
to coop rate with Supt. Bryan
to the end tina; all can appear
upon an equal footing and with
out embarrassment at gradual
irg time.

FOUR SACRED BUNDLES.
Made by the Usage Indians Are New
Collections at Smithsonian Institute.

Washington, March 25.-An addi-
ton which is regarded by officials of
the bureau of ethnology of the Smith
sonian institution as lone of their
choicest treasures" has been made to
their collection in the form of four
sacred bundles, or packs. of the Usage
Indians. They were secured for the
institution by Francis Laflische, an
educated Omaha Indian, employed by
the bureau of ethnology, from an In
dian in Oklahoma to whose care they
had been entrusted.
The sacred bundles represent the
hottest fetish of a tribe and are gem
orally guarded by special priest or
medicine man. They are opened at
certain times and the contents wor-
shipped amid most elaborate cere-
monies.
One of the bundles has been opened
by DIR. Walter Hough, a curator oil
the Smithsonian institution. The out
side wrapping or sack, was made of q
rare Indian fabric, woven of silky
brown hair from the buffalo. It was
bound with buckskin, decorated with
human scalps and the legs of an eagle
Inside was buckskin bag which con-
tanned a haverSack in which was a
pipe decorated with scalps, a tobacco
bag, a braided cord made of wooden
fabric and a bundle of buffalo blad-
ders with a thong ornamented with a
scalp, and one other bundle which
represented the holy of holies.''

MORE CRUDE OIL.
in Kansas VIII Be Largest
Ever Known.

Unless all signs fail, the production
of crude oil in the Kansas oil field
this year will be the largest the state
has ever known. 1t is expected to at
least equal, if it does not exceed,
the production of oil during the boom
days of five or six years ago. The oil
country in southern Kansas is just re-.
covering from the boom and going
ahead with substantial companies
working the fields for all they are
worth.
More new wells are going in down
in the oil country this year than since
the days of the BOOM" said Joseph
Longshore, state oil inspector, today.
New wells are going in everywhere
and the well are producing lots of oil
and every gallon is being taken. There
is a very active demand from the re-
fneries and from the crude oil deal
ers and shippers. No well owner needs
to hold any oil at all. 1t is all being
taken as fast as he can get it to the
top of the ground.
There are fourteen new wells either
just brought in or being drilled around
Chanute. Other towns in the same
section show a large number of new
wells being drilled. think more wells
are being drilled this season than in
any year except the biggest of the
boom years and I am not sure but
that the record of new wells this year
will not exceed the biggest year the
field ever had.
TT is the fuel oil business that is
increasing the oil production in Kan
sas. So many of the big industrial
plants and hundreds of little plants
have adopted the fuel oil that there is
a demand for every gallon of oil that
can be produced. The coal strike last
summer helped the oil business a great
deal. For a long time the managers
of the big manufacturing plants were
unable to tell how long they could
run as there was no certainty of the
fuel supply. On account of this and
the cheeDness and ease of handling
hundreds of steam plants, including
packers, millers. all kinds of manu-
featuring plants and many electric
light and water companies and numer-
Gus city owned plants changed to fuel
oil. The oil is almost as cheap as coal
to start with. It is so much easier to
handle. it requires fewer men and less
space for storage and makes better
and more heat and is so much less
dirty than coal that it will not be long
until the clouds of smoke and SCOT
coming from industrial plants will be
| changed to Just little films of smoke
| on account of the use of oil instead of
coal The oil is almost entirely con-
sumef and there is nothing like the
waste fuel in it that there is in coal,
so there is not much smoke to go out
| of the chimneys''
Within the last year there have been
half a dozen new fuel oil companies
organized in Kansas The demand for
the fuel oil, either the crude product
as it comes from the wells or the par
TALLY refined product has become SO
great that the older companies had all
the business they could handle and the
new companies are growing rapidly.
MANY of the oil companies organized
to operate in the Kansas field are de-
voting all their attention to the pro-
duction of crude oil for fuel pur-
poses

HEROES OF SAN MARCOS
A Cat and Cock WithstoOd the Hail
of Shots and Shells.

Washington, March 25.-The heroes
of the San Marcos were cat and
cock. Like those Of the Merrimac,
those of the old vattleship that now
rests upon the bottom of Chesapeake
Bay withstood a hail of shot and shell.
Their conduct under fire will probably
give them chief place among navy
mascots so long as they live to tread
the deck of a. battleship.
With others of their kind the cat,
yclept Henry v. and the rooster, dub
bed Robinson Cruso, were placed upon
the San Marcos to deWonstrate for the
naval experts when the trial was held
a few days ago. whether the fire of
the battleship New Hampshire would
snuff out the lives of living creatures
while reducing the old battleship to
junk When the shooting was over,
Secretary of the Navy Meyer went
aboard the hulk Emerging from a
mass of Wreckage and an experience
that must have made back fence adj
ventures of the past, with bootjacks
and beer bottles whizzing around him,
seem tame indeed, Henry v purred his
way along and rubbed against the sec
retary's leg.
Perched on the upper works was
Robinson. He and Henry were the
survivors. Discovery was made that
4 shell had taken off one of Robin
sons legs. He was taken to the flag
ship stretched out in the cockpit,
treated to a proper amputation and
fitted out with a wooden leg. At last
reports he was in a fair way toward
recovery.
