The French government has decided
to prohibit the "cent-in-the-slot"
gambling machines which are to be
found in all the smaller wine shops
of the Republic. The latest statistics
show that in 1911 there were no fewer
than $4,000 OF these petty gambling
machilHsses in use in France, and that
their total receipts during the year
Amounted to hearty $50 million francs
($80,009000)
These machines are usually leased
by saloon-keepers on profit-sharing
basis. During 1911 the propretors re-
ceived from twenty to thirty per cent,
of the total takings as their share Oi
the profit, in other words about $40,

When France decided to increase
the compulsory military service from
two to three years in OIL der to keep
pace with Germany, one of the gov
ernments staunchest supporters was
the veteran General Pau, who lost his
right arm fighting against the Ger

When General Pau, then a lieuten-
ant was lying wounded after the bat
tie OF Froeschwiller, with his hand
shattered by shell, he heard one doc
tor say to another that the supply of
chloroform was giving out. When his
turn came to be operated upon Pau
said to the doctors, "Give the chloro-

The doctors took him at his word and
sawed through his wrist while Pau
bit his handkerchief to pieces.

Cheeses more than a century old

Switzerland, where the finest Gruyere

cheeses are considered great delicacy

dition each family possesses a giant
cheese which is handed down as a
souvenir from one generation to an
other. The cheese is religiously guard

on the occasion of marriages, bap-

PROGRESS OF COLORED
RACE TOLD BY SOLON
Senator W. L: Jones of Washington
Makes Address at Madre's
Park Celebration.

Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington
delivered the principal address yesterday
at Labor Day celebration by the col
ored Sunday schools of this city at
Madre's Park.
Senator Jones congratulated the race
on its progress since it was freed from
slavery. He said that in the years from
1900 to 1910 the number of colored farm
ers in the United States increased 10 $40
per cent. OF 6,s61,502 farms operated in
1910. he said. s2O,S53 were operated by
colored men.
II believe could not give you better
advice than to say, Go to the land, be
come owners as soon as possible said
Senator Jones. THE demand for farm
products is so great as to make possible
more remunerative prices than ever be-
fore have been received. This must con-
tinue as long as the city population con-
tinues to increase. There are millions Of
acres of unimproved lands suitable for
farming that you can acquire cheaply,
and by energy, thrift and frugality you
soon can become independent and make
yourselves and your families more happy
and more comfortable.
Your progress has been great. From
the most reliable information could OBJ
tain. 1 found that you have accumulated
more than $JOO00.OO0 worth of church
property and have erected about 5000
churches, with accommodation. for 7,000.-
600 persons. About 100000 of your chill
dren are attending the public schools and
more than 1000 are attending institu-
tious of higher learning. More than 5000
are teachers. Twenty-eight thousand are
learning trades and several thousand are
pursuing classical, scientific or business
courses"

UNCLE SAM HAS NEW
WAY TO GIVE NEWS
VIII Inaugurate Improved System oI
Circulating Agricultural Data
This Month. -

In order to give TO the farmer imme-
date news OF crop conditions in his own
State. the Department of Agriculture
about the middle OF September will make
test experiment with a new system OF
circulating crop Information by tele-
graph.
The department will try this test first
in six States-Illinois, Missouri, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Kansas, and Texas. The
government crop news for each Of these
States will be telegraphed to a central
point in that State. There the intorm.-
ton will be quickly reproduced and
mailed to all the newspapers in the States
In this way every paper, not merely the
large dailies, but the county seat and
small town papers. even In the most dis
tant States, should be in possession of
this information within from twelve to
eighteen hours after 1t is issued.
The printed matter thus circulated will
give these newspapers a full list OF the
crops, the average condition Of each
crop for ten-year periods in that particu-
lar State, and the condition of the State
crops for September g. In the adjoining
column will be given the same data for
the United States, so that the farmers
who read these notices can compare the
crops in their State as Of September 8
with the ten-year averages OF their own
State, and in the same way with the
average condition throughout the United
States on September and for ten years.
The cost OF this service, 1t is found,
will be only nominal All that will be
necessary win be to telegraph the figures
for two columns, and this can be done at
a cost Of not more than 70 cents for each
State.
II the contemplated experiment Is a
success and the newSnaDerS co-oDerate hy

rest OF the country in this respect" said
Judge Lindsey. You have a fine District
buIdIng, ana the city Is so ATTRACTIVE IN
other respects that somehow I took il
for granted your Juvenile Court came up
to the same high standard.
In falling to care properly for its
children's court, Washington is guilty of
what we call 'contributory negligence
out in Denver. And because It is the
National Capital it is daily committing
an offense against the children of the
whole United States, as well as against
those over whom it has immediate juris-
diction."

1t is to be hoped that the police
officials of this great city can see
their way clear this week to pro-
vide sufficient police protection to
allow the circus that is to show here
Wednesday and Thursday to hold It's
street parade.
On two occasions this year thou
sands of children, many of whom
could not afford a visit to the cir
Gus, have been denied even a view
of the parade owing to the police
officials refusing to allow the pa.
rade to take place.
Please, Mr.. Police Commissioner.
and other high officers, remembel
that you were once children your
selves. I'll bet you liked to follow
every parade that came to tow
when you were young. Now, didn'
you? Won't you please give us tn

The Missing Link.

A Western millionaire Of the newly
rich" variety recently came to New
York and one of his first extravagant
purchases was a pair of diamond
crusted cuff links for which he paid
$3.50.
But the pride of possession lasted
only two days, for one of the links
became lost. High and low the mil
lionaire hunted for 1t, turning the
whole hotel upside down in the search,
but it was not recovered. But he
would not give up the search.
One evening a week later while CIV
ing a dinner party to few friends
and business associates, he recounted
the circumstances of his loss, and
concluded by saying
"Confound it, l don't understand it.
