AGED MAN FOUND
DEAD IN BED
John Evans Fails to Shut Off Gas
in Extinguishing Light
Before Retiring.

Feeble from senility. John Evans, sew
enty-two years old. for many years a
resident OF the Capital and well-knOWn
as a baseball fan in the early history
Of the Washington Baseball Club. failed
to shut or the gas when he CNtinguish-
I'd the light before retiring late Satur-
DAY night IN his room at IL Third Street
Northwest.
Lying upon his back, with his hands
folded over his chest. his lifeless body
was discovered i'm bed shortly after \
o'clock yesterday morning. when his
laudIady. Mrs. Mary Brown. failing to
awaken him by knocking ON the door
turned the knob and entered. The OdOr
OF gas. seeming TO come from the room,
mad awakened her suspicious.
Two windows were closed, but it was
a custom of the aged man to lower the
windows in cold weather. The gas
jet was but partly open, but the small
escape had been sufficient TO fill the
small room with poisonous fumes. Cor
nner hewitt found that Evans had met
death by accidental asphyXiation and
allowed relatives to take charge of the
body.
Evans was an uncle Of Detective
Harry Evans. Of the Sixth precinct.
The aged man had lived here practi-
csIly all Of his life and had scores of
friends.

Germany's Food Problem.

The population of the German En-
pire numbers about 65.ooo,ooo. and most
of these live in cities. occupied in in
dustrial and commercial enterprises
but in spite of this, it is the large land
owners who decide the politics of the
empire, impose the taxes, and deter
mine the duties levied on all imports.
As result, in Germany duties are paid
on meat and all kinds of food stuffs.
The duty, in many cases, is so high
that it is practically prohibitive, which
means that the state derives no income
from it.
The regime of the great land owners
has found a remedy against this. too
TO raise the necessary revenue for the
state a number Of heavy taxes have
been laid upon the shoulders OF the
people. which, in the main. hit only the
large population of the cities, while the
rural population goes free The Ger
man Chancellor recently has held sew
eral conferences to discuss measures to
end the rise in the price of meat, but
few expect any permanent results.

Speed f. the desire Of man to get some

Nobody heard much about speed until
a hundred years ago. II a man couldn't
run fast enough to suit himself i'm the

body discovered a method Of stuffing

the world began to take up speed as a

We now have trains so fast that they
can transport passengers sixty miles
across country and half way up the

An automobile which only goes mile

from the fast cars Automobiles can now
run around a mile track so fast that the
driver is breathing his own dust all the

A few years ago an aeropIane which
travelled thirty-ive miles an hour was a

The Board of Education of New

example OF Chicago and other cities
which were violating the conspiracy
of silence" in the interest of future
generations. After consideration OF
ways and means it determined to grant
the request OF the Public Education
Association and permit lecturers OF
that organization to discuss sex ny

lectures. which lectures. however. must
be confined strictly 10 parents

not endangered, and they desire infor-

be prevented from obtaining it?

Airships in the Balkan War.

Aeroplanes appear to have been serv-
iceable to the Balkan allies in their
operations. Particularly have they
lived up to what was expected in
scouting. Success in surveying the
enemys lines accounts largely for the
accuracy of the Bulgarian artillery FIRE
and not the better French artillery"
With Turkey defective in a now i'm
portant department OF military tactics,
the allies enjoyed a big advantage
through their corps OF aerial scouts.
The lives sacrificed in developing the
aeroplane amount to hundreds. Yet
that loss of life is trivial when COM
pared with the number in battle that
can be picked out for slaughter by
enemies aloft. or when compared with
an army equipped with flying machines
and operating against the unenlightened
foe. Thus. more than ever. war will
swallow human life Easier reconnois-
sance will bring armies together in the
decisive crash in a few days, where
once weeks or months were used for
desultory skirmishing.
Putting more hell into war will
tend TO keep the war dogs in leash
When nations let them slip the shock
will be more quickly met and the de-
cision fastened The long-drawn-out
war is thing OF the past
