The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1912-10-04

Resolutions recently adopted by the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce call
upon the congress Of the United States
to call the inter-oceanic waterway being
dug between the Atlantic and Pacific,
the American Canal. AS this is great
American enterprise it is argued that
the waterway should not be named in
honor Of Panama. Particularly is this
true since the land in the canal zone
has been ceded to the United States.
The Spokane chamber intends to try
to enlist commercial bodies all over
the country to support it in this move
ment, which is a patriotic one at the
bottom.

 Recently his lordship put the ban on a woman suffrage play called Cor onation,'' merely because it contained a representation of a king-not the King. Zangwill is the latest sufferer the production of his new drama ''The Next Religion having been prohibit ed unless the author should make nu- merous changes which would have de- stroyed the whole character and pur- pose of the pay. This Zangwill de- clined to do. Besides going alter the censor's scalp, he intends publishing the play, fortunately there being no censorship over literature in Eng land.

 Guard Children
Have 400 Of Their Young Charges Ready For Emergency in Early Morning Fire Near Convent

New York, Feb. 16.-FulIy dressed anc. m readiness for any emergency, 400 children, ranging from g to II years of age, stood calmly for more than an hour, just before daylight, to- day, in the convent of the Sisters of Mercy. in Brooklyn. White and black robed sisters walked slowly backward and forward along the line reassuring their charges while, a few doors away, a big part of the fire department of Brooklyn fought a desperate battle with q fire that threatened the de struction of most of that section of the city. The firemen won and then the children were marched back to bed.
 The fire was in the office of the furniture and fixture plant of E. Ham, burger & Company, on Emerson Place and it and a house alongside were completely destroyed. Four f1remen were caught in a back dFaught and rendered unconscious but were res- cued by comrades. Five brothers and sisters orphaned, who live in the house that was destroyed, escaped in their nightclothfng by dropping from rear window to a shed and then to the street. They were cared for in the convent.
 A pathetic figure of the nre was g years old Carrie Matthews, who is blind. She positively refused to leave her rooTD until Bess, her fox terrier and two puppies, which arrived, yes terday, were carried to a place of safety.

WHERE CHRISTMAS
 DECORATIONS ARE MADE

From Coburg, Germany, little rail- way only twenty-five miles long leads into the heart of the Thuringian for where Christmas ornaments are made. Nearly every house and hut is the home of a gIass-DIower, and the smaII> est child that can use it's hands un- derstandingly has some part in the work.
 The blowers make al their work from glass tubes of varied diameter and thickness, which are cut to con- venient lengths by scratching them with a file and breaking them at the cleavage. A burner consisting of two, four or more flames issuing from tiny gas jets converges it's fires upon a metal plate, which usually supports a piece of dry wood or charcoal whose slow but fierce combustion under the blue flame of the blow-pipes rapid y melts the hardest glass. Driving the bellows which supplies air to his blow pipes with his feet, the operator turns out with delft Swiftness balls, stars, pendants and larger ornaments of all most every conceivable shape and size. spray of gi ding or silvering solution into a great basketful of the tiny balls, used to festoon windows and Christ mas trees, or perhaps with greater skill, is coloring with delft fingers the interior of a larger ornament. The eldest boy may himself be a skilled operator, and perhaps exceIS his fath- CT in creating miniature reindeer with great spreading antlers, spirited horses coursing hounds, fragile airships and balloons, and most wonderful of all,
