PLEA FOR COUNTRY LIFE.

In an address ON "City Congestion
and Farm Desolation," the Rev. DR..
Joseph Krauskopf of Philadelphia
makes a strong plea for the National
Farm school, near Philadelphia, of
which he is president. Pastoral pur-
suits, he says, are potent remedies
against the evils which grow out Of
congestion in the parts of the cities
into which foreign immigrants drift.
The resources of the farm school are
limited, the dormitories accommo-
dating only eighty-hve students, and
for the purpose of enlarging the in
stitution and increasing its activities
DR.. Krauskopf asks all who are in
terested to become members.

HOW SCENT Is MADE.

There are several methods of max
ing scent. The cheap and nasty way
is by mixing chemicals together to
counterfeit the odor of flowers. This
is how the low-priced and inferior
scents are derived from the flowers
themselves. The blossoms are spread
on glass thickly coated with pure
grease and exposed to the sun. AS
they wither the flowers are removed
and replaced again and again by
fresh ones until the grease has be-
come charged with the fragrance.
Another process is by constantly in
fusing flowers in oil, and third by
stepping them in ether. This last
method is the most expensive of all,
and produces the finest results. By
the way, you may like to know that
some of the best kinds of scented
soaps are made from the flower
scented grease. After all the scent
possible has been extracted from it
by stepping 1t in spirits it is still
fragrant enough to make toilet soap.

ALONG CLASSIC LINES.

One of the most perfect types Of
classic buildings in America, accord
ing to architects, has been built by
the United States government at
Denver, Colo, to be used as a post
office and to house the various fed
eral offices in that city with the ex-
ception of the mint, says Popular
Mechanics. The building is of pure
white marble from Colorado quarries
and is 80 feet long by $50 feet deep
and four stories in height. The style
is a type of Roman architecture
adapted to modern conditions, and
the facades are regarded as notable
in the faithfulness of their classic
lines. On each of the longer sides
there are sixteen massive columns,
and on the shorter sides six columns.
Symbolic statuary is used in groups
and in single figures to relieve the
building of the severity of its gen.
eral outlines, the entire structure
giving an idea of simple beauty that
makes it a striking example of public
building architecture.

NEW KIND OF RAILROAD HOG
He Attempts TO Keep Two seats So
AZ TO Be on Shady Side
Of Car.

A man who frequently uses the in
terurban cars out of Indianapolis re-
ports a new kind of railroad hog.
"I boarded the car at the Denison
hotel corner" he said, "and noticed
there was only one seat outside the
smoking compartment not occupied
by some person, and 1t had in it a
large suit case. In the aisle directly
across from the suit case was a fat
man who evidently did not belong
to this part of the country and was
unacquainted with the geography.
'T moved the suit case to the aisle
and took the seat. After we had left
the city and started across the coun-
try the fat man scowled. at me,
picked up the suit case and, going
into the smoker, sat down in a va
can't seat on the same side of the
car where l was sitting, the shady
side.
Evidently he had tried to make
sure of two seats, so as to be able
to select the one on the shady side
after the car had started on its cross.
country route, but my removal of his
suit case had spoiled his plan"

WHY THEY WANTED A BANK
Matter Of convenIence That Led 10
Demand for Establishment Of
Financial Institution.

Harry L. Confer, chief clerk in
the bank department in the Office of
the auditor of state, spent an hour
a few DAYS ago trying to convince a
budding financier that the ordinary
village in Indiana cannot support
more than one bank properly, and
that demands for second banks in
such places could usually be traced
to some purpose other than legiti-
mate banking.
"When was in a bank in Elk
hart" he said, 81 was approached
one afternoon by q small merchant
on the South side, who asked if our
bank wouldn't consider a proposal to
establish a branch in his part Of the
city. / told him that under the new
law we we're not permitted to estab-
lish branches, and asked him why he
was anxious to have a bank in his
neighborhood, where there were only
small shops and good banks within
a dozen blocks.
"We fellows down there some
times have lot Of trouble about get
ting change he replied, and we
thought if we could have a bank
down there, it would be handy

LONDON AS A NERVE CURE
American Actress Says Its Cheerful

Laura Nelson Hall, an Ameri-

in "The Easiest Way" is telling
why she likes London, which she
finds $50 restful after New York

cause of its immensely, its endless

cause it is the most restful place I've

of the courage of the British dog (;
it is the most eloquent tribute to the

feet the unrufled calm of their own

MANY USES FOR PEROXIDE
u IL a Powerful Bleaching Agent and
Also 10 Valuable az an Anti.
septic.

One Of the most powerful bleach
ing agents employed in various
trades is peroxide of hydrogen, also
known as hydrogen dioxide and oxy-
genated water. The natural color in
ostrich plumes is removed by it and
it will also bleach a great number of
other things, such as bones, ivory,
silver, wood, silk, cotton and hair.
1t can be used to restore the color to
old oil paintings which have become
darkened by age. Peroxide is val
liable antiseptic and will also de-
stroy Objectionable heterogeneous
in water. 1t can even be used to
cure indigestion, but for this pur-
pose, as well as for other medicinal
uses, it must be diluted. A drop of
pure peroxide is strong enough to
raise white blister on the skin. Mi
mute quantities of peroxide of hydro
gen are found in the air, in rain
water and in snow, and it is some
times found in the juices of certain
plants. The liquid is produced on
large scale by the action of acids
on peroxide of sodium. The solu-
ton may be concentrated by allowing
the water to freeze out, by passing
dry air through it or by evaporation
in vacuum over sulphuric acid

II Looks Bad.

The disclosure that members OF
New York's police force have made
a business of selling the law would.
of itself, occasion little surprise.
The disclosure that the Mayor, the
Police Commissioner and the
actual heads of the force lack
either the disposition or the power
to deal with such a situation when
directly brought to their notice.
both surprises and shames.
1t has been over a week since
Rosenthal was called to the front
of the Hotel Metropole and shot
down on a crowded street by
party of gun men and policemen,
the police officers who witnessed
the shooting making no effort to
interfere or even to arrest the
murderers until after it was GER
tain that they had made good Their
escape.
1t is a sinister. though not damn.
ing, fact that every officer VIII
witnessed the murder gave in
wrong report as to the number o.
the car from which the shootin.
was done and in which the muir
derers, with no pretense at hurry.
drove off when their work was
done. The average patrolman Is
more like than not to govern his
ideas of what to do and what t.
leave undone by the orders of his
immediate superior. Granting
that the officer in charge of the
district had been a partner in hi
gambling game and wanted Rosen
thai put out of the way to proven
his squealing, the blindness of tn:
police of that district when an
since Rosenthal got his" is moi
hard to account for. But how
does it happen that the Distric'
Attorney, in his fight to get at the
facts, not only of Rosenthal's muir
der, but of the causes which lee
up to it, has had to play virtually
a lone hand, to rely on private de
tectives and private subscription
to carry on his work9
1t seems incredible that the cor
ruption among the force can be s.
wide spread as to incluce the me
at the head of it or to tie thei
hands with the fear of what ma
come to light if the Rosenths
probe goes deep enough. But.
such be not the fact, the appear
ances of the events of the past fey

BALTIMORE PARADE
Plans Launched for Great Assemblage
of Suffrage Workers to Be Held
on May 81.

At a most enthusiastic meeting
on Tuesday, December 3, at 4 P.
NJ, at SI7 North Charles street, the
initial plans were formulated for
the next Baltimore parade. The
day was fixed for Saturday, May
81, and 5 o'clock was tentatively
named as the hour at which the
parade would start. Mrs. +. F.
Ramey was elected chairman of the
committee, Mrs. w. S. Symington,
Jr., recording secretary; Mrs. r. T.
Foster, corresponding secretary,
and Miss NJ. f. Lent, treasurer.
Miss Ellen LaMotte was elected
chairman of the finance committee,
and DR.. Nellie Y. Mark and several
other arduous workers volunteered
their services for this important de
partment. DR.. Mark delighted
everyone by promising at once to
raise $IOO toward the $1,000, which
was said to be necessary for general
expenses, and one other member Of
the committee promised to raise
SIoo also.
1t was decided to ask Mrs. Bel
mont if she would be wiling to sup
ply the four extra golden chariots
now needed to represent the four
new suffrage States.
Another committee meeting will
be held on Friday, December I3, at
4 o'clock to appoint the advertising
committee, floats committee, music
committee and delegation commit
tees.
