Invite Roper.
A resident Princeton graduate was
telling me this morning that the Wash
ington alumni have invited Bin Roper.
the football coach, to attend the annual
dinner Of the local branch Of the asso-
ciation at the Chevy Chase Club on
April 6.
Roper is decidedly popular with the
younger graduates. and he should be
able to tell some mighty interesting
things about the gridiron situation In a
certain little New Jersey town. The
failure to beat Yale last fall was q
mighty disappointment to Princeton.
White is writing.
When Doc White was appearing

out in these columns that the clever

broken forth as a full-fedged Journalist.

CASEY WAS CAUGHT

Man Who Has Been Frightening
Suburban Residents May

y man who has been worrying ev-
erybody in the neighborhood of East
Lake Park by untimely visits. enter
ing houses, and making demands for
food and otherwise frightening peo-
pie, was caught by the city police
yesterday afternoon and is resting
quietly in the city holdover. He gives
his name as James Casey, is about
forty years old and will say nothing.
Casey is a very eccentric character,
if not of unsound mind, and for the
week just past has kept most of the
women i'm the east side of town terri
fled by his threats and actions. For
several days the police have tried to
catch him, and have been aided by
phone calls from the people in the
neighborhood, but the man evidently
would hear the phone ringing and
would disappear completely before the
police got on the ground.
II was only yesterday afternoon that
Motor policeman Hosmer after an eX-
citing ride during which he opened
his machine up. spotted the man and
captured him before he had gone a
hundred yards from the house he had

Baptists send nearly as much. while
MethOdists send $500, 900 a year. The
end of fifty years of effort there was
celebrated by all societies at a great
Shanghai conference last year. when
an estimate of at least S50.000,00O of
foreign missionary money was made

work began there This was the
Protestant figure alone. The Cath
Ollie contributions are unknown, but
they have been large.
While the number of Chinese
Christians is small as yet compared
with the vast native population. it is
declared that the influence of the
Christian population. because of bet
ter education, is out of all proper
ton to their numbers. In some prov
inces Christian day schools are be
ing founded in vast numbers, and
supported by private gifts sent from
the United States. These are laying
the foundations of a public school
system. For the most part, and by
agreement, European missionary socie-
ties have the fields in southern China,
while American and Canadian soc
ieties have those Of the northern part.
This explains why American news is

THE UNITED STATES AND THE
INVENTOR

In the current number of Harper's
Weekly Philip Edelman describes some
of the humOrs of the patent office.
whose millionth patent was issued re-
Gently. "One particular unfortunate
inventor had great schemes for lighting
the world with phosphorus solutions,
running a railroad by a perpetual-mo-
ton engine. and changing lead into
pure gold. He is merely illustrative Of
the class. The last which was heard
Of him was to the effect that he was
going to build a great bridge up n
Heaven-and then the keepers got
him. Recently man invented a won
derful automobile in which an engine
was mounted in the body of a artificial
horse. Wheels and levers were con-
nected from the gasoline engine to the
jointed legs of the manufactured horse.
and a wagon was hitched to the said
animal" But not a few of these an
parently worthless patents make very.
successful toys. and thus the inventor
in a measure reaps the reward of his
ingenuity.

a dozen of them at least, and the
great propaganda of the faith in the
Catholic church. and practically all
Protestant societies have missionaries

of dollars into that country annu-
ally. There is not a province which
has not in it at least a few foreign
missionaries. and very few societies
in the whole world. doing foreign
work, that are not represented there.
The exceptions, if there are any. are
some small ones in South Africa,
which limit their work to Africa. and
one or two i'm Australia. which do
work in the South Sea Islands.
Fifty-siX societies have medical
missionaries in China, and forty-two

This years fair boosted all Arizo-

folks. let us not overlook the work
Of the school girls in the domestic
science department. These girls have
been gaining educative and refining
experiences in the household arts as
was shown in their work in the Phoe-
nix school exhibits. One case which
displayed canned fruits, bread. rolls.
pies. cakes and cookies. indicates that
they are mastering a knowledge. the
lack of which, causes one of the
gravest leakages in the family ex-
chequer.
The mothers very flatteringly COM
mend the results obtained by the girls
i'm this department one mother re-
marked especially on the training her
daughter was getting in how to buy
and prepare foods so as to save
money
The work in sewing is also of in
estimable value to the girls as one
can readily understand by looking at
some of the trim suits made by the
young misses for their own apparel.
The instruction in sewing begins in
the fifth grade, where the girls are
taught to sew by hand, and on through
the grades until they are able to
make their garments on a machine.
Some excellent work from the sew
ing department was shown at the
fair and many words of commenda-
ton were spoken of them by the
visitors to this display.
