TO THE POOR FARM

Harmon Swicher, an aged resident
OF the South End, appeared before the
board OF works this morning to ask
for consideration in the matter Of op-

MODERN TEACHING
Fallen Woman Must Help
Herself, All Attention
Given the Man,

That people nowadays are too
prone to pick up the fallen man and
leave the women to take care of her
self, was the argument presented by
DR.. J. B. koehne At the First Presby.
terrain church last evening. in giving
an address on the personality OF
Christ. Dr. Koehne admitted that this
spirit which causes twentieth century
Americans to help poor men where
they will not help women in the same
circumstances, was only human NIT
ture, but stated It was far opposed to
the divine doctrine taught by Christ.

Christ's personality ON the world. DIR,

vinity through elimination. for. he said
He must have been an ordinary man.

ing. He did not stop long to consider
the Arst possibility. for DR.. Koehnc
maintained that even the skeptics i'd

that he was more than an extraordi-
nary person. DR.. Koehne asserted. was
of course. the evidence given in the BIZ

the resurrection. But. even without
this. His wonderful personality. which
att ting at first only through few indi-
viduals, notably Paul. has now influ-
enced the entire civilized world. was \

ton OF DR.. Koehne in his lectures to-
night and Friday. This evening no

Lii Yuan Heng, formerly commander
in-chief Of the revolutionary army,
will have places in the new cabinet.
The election of Yuan is regarded as
q master stroke of statecraft on the
part of the republicans because of
Yuan's vast influence with the Man

over the imperialist troops. BY his
elevation the imperialist army of the
north is practically placed beneath

years of effort he has given to the
movement. He was lauued as one Of

every state in the Union Before appropriation be OBJ
tanned from the legislature for such organization consider
liable publicity must be given the movement and public sentl

Probably the best proof Of the value of state survey
1.-THE fact that most states have long supported organizations of
this kind Colorado, whose mining industry has recently
shown alarming decline, is trying to improve conditions by
putting greatly increased at the disposal of the state
geoogst knowledge of local geology is of great aid to in
egent prospecting and to proper development work and such
knowledge best be disseminated by the publications of

inquiries from mining that only be answered properly
by state geoogis Moreover inquiries from
people outside the state regard to mineral industries
Adequate publications telling of would be OF great
value in attracting outside capital for their development
1t is the custom of the United States Geological Survey
