First Preliminary Agency.
1.-THE first preliminary agency is edu-
cational," said DR.. Slingerland. More
teachers a nd schoolhouses and play
grounds will aid nightly in solving the
welfare problems of rural communities.
Che second agency to be established IS
N endless chain OF social centers among
he people, by the people. and for the
ieople. This implies 4 constant and gen.
.ral use Of schoolhouses and Fairgrounds,
III ways some of which We're unknown
to our fathers. but proven effective
wherever properly and intelligenuy UNI
dertaken. The third constructive ele-
ment is the revitalizing and moderniz-
ing of the country church to correspond
to the city church, which has largely
adjusted itself to the new conditions due
to modern civilization. The rest Of the
program includes adequate institutional
provision for the feeble minded. there
being one feeble-minded person for every
three hundred OF population. This, and
the extension of the work Of agencies
and societies dealing with child life SO
that these activities cover the rural dis
tricts, will solve the main problems Of
rural welfare work.

Concerning Fire.

There are different kinds of fire.
Have you ever wondered why the
fame of the kitchen stove is blue, why
the open gas jet and the incandescent
electric bulb shed yellow light, why
the gas mantle shines white and why
the electric arc is blue, especially
when you see it burning in the day
time? The source of the light is diff
ferent
The old fashioned gas jet and the
incandescent bulb shine because the
carbon Tor tungstenD in them is more
than red hot. The difference is that
the thin wire of carbon Tor something
else) in the bulb is heated by electric
ity and the fine carbon dust of the
open flame Gt is called SCOT when it's
cold. is heated by the blue flame.
The yellow gas flame is not nearly so
hot as the blue. That is why you
should not turn up the gas too high
when you are cooking things on the
kitchen range.
The gas mantle is white because the
fabric is heated to a great degree by
a blue fame inside, much like that of
the kitchen stove. and very, hot The
electric arc shines with the light from
intensely hot carbon, but mostly from
the oxygen of the air, which is raised
to white heat by the passage of cleo
tricity between the two carbOns.

Geoaraphical Game.

Seat the players in a ring. Let the
first one say aloud the name of city,
mountain, river, lake, and SO on, locat-
ed i'll any part of the world. The
next player gives a name beginning
with the final letter of the previously
said name, and the third supplies one
beginning with the final letter of the
second, and so on, around the ring
thus: America. Africa; Sacramento,
Oberlin. Each player is allowed thirty
seconds in which to think. If by the
end of that time he has failed to sup
ply name he must drop out of the
game. The one who keeps up longest
is the champion. Any player at any
time may be challenged to give the
geographical location of the place he
has named. If on demand he cannot
do so he must pay forfeit.

SAVINGS About Apples,

There are a great many people who
are fond of apples. and it is right that
they should be, as this lovely autumn
fruit is not only good to the taste, but
wholesome to eat. Long, long ago our
ancestors made up this little rinle
about apples:
Eat an apple going to bed,
Make the doctor beg his bread.
The Danes had saying, THE rot
ten apple spOils its companion" a re-
hinder of the fact that evil is easily
spread. Another saying connected
with this fruit was, HE goes from
apple to apple till he gets a crab"
This meant that persons who are over
particular in choosing are apt to select
just what they do not like; the crab
means the crab apple. which is usually
sour and harsh.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Basic the Bear.

This is a lively blood warming game,
well suited for the noon hour or the
recess period. says Youths COmpan-
ion. Any number of boys can play.
The only implement required is an old
gunny sack for each player.
The sacks are loosely rolled the long
way, but not tied. To start the game,
one boy volunteers to be the bear. He
chooses another boy for his keeper.
The bear stOops. as the boy does
who is down at leap frog. If he
does not bend his head far enough at
first he will soon learn to do it. He
holds his ankles with both hands, but
with one hand he also holds one end
of his own sack. The keeper holds
the other end of the bears sack in
one hand. and in the other his own
sack.
The rest of the players circle round,
watching for a chance to hit the bear
with their sacks and escape being hit
by the keeper. The keeper tries to
touch one of the players with his sack.
Whenever he succeeds. the player so
touched becomes the bear, tho old
keeper joins the players, and the ex-
bear becomes keeper until he can win
his place among the other players
again.
Should either the bear or his keeper
let go of either end of either sack and
thus break the circuit" the bear may
be blasted" until the connection is re-
stored. No touch made by the keeper
counts unless both he and the bear
have hold of the bears sack. Thus it
becomes an object of the game to
strike at the bears sack and break
either his hold or that of his keeper
or else to 'disarm' the keeper by
striking his sack with another sack
and giving quick pull as the sacks
entwine.

A Fish Story.

1t was down in South Carolina that
Mr.. HERS went fishing. He had just
taught fish and pulled it up out of
the water when an eagle, which SEEM
ed to be hungry. swoOped down and
made a bite at the catch. Mr.. HERS
yelled and swung his arm, and the
eagle tapped aside, but its wing
caught in the hook that had already
caught the fish. So Mr.. HERS killed
the bird after fight and carried it
home to exhibit it in triumph to Won
dering neighbOrs. 1t measured nearly
six feet from tip to tip of the wings.

The Furnace Man,

The furnace man comes every day
To make the steam heat go.
And when we have a storm he has
To shovel off the snow.
I help him with my shovel
To clear away the snow.
When two men work together
It's easier, you know.

THAW TO HIGHEST TRIBUNAL.
Foundation is Laid for Carrying Case
to Supreme Court if Failures
Come Below.

Littleton, n H, Sept. 16.-Counsel
for Harry K Tlaw laid today the
foundation for plans to carry his case
to the supreme court OF the United
States if such a step is found neces-
sary.
When the governor of New Hamp-
shire passes on the matter Of the eX-
tradition of Thaw to New York, at
the hearing to be held at Concord on
Tuesday next, the findings, if adverse
to Thaw, will be reviewed by the
United States district court, and
should a decision against him then be
rendered. successive appeals will be
taken until the case reaches the high
est court in the land.
This was the announcement made
by the Thaw lawyers. tonight after the
most notable court victory for the
fugitive either in Canada or in the
United States since his escape from
Matteawan. 1t was made after a
hearing on federal writ of habeas
corpus obtained in Thaw's behalf, and
invoking the 18th amendment to the
constitution, had been indefinitely sus-
pended until sucn time as counsel saw
fit to- begin arguments after the ex-
tradition matter had been decided by
the governor.
Edgar Aldrich, United States judge
for the district cof New Hampshire in
deciding that Thaw had the right, in
effect, to hold his habeas corpus writ
in obeyance, explained in his receipt
that this was the petitioners privilege
in that SHOULD he be ordered extra
dited ''it would still be open to fed
eral authorities to afford such pro-
lection as the constitution ard the
laws of the United States require"
JubilGnt Counsel.
Thaw's jubilant counsel, headed by
Moses Grossman and L. J. Vorhaus,
departed for New York, leaving their
client in the joint custody of the
United States marshal and Sheriff
Drew of Cosos county, not to return
until hearing before the governor is
called. The, head of the New York
State forces, William TraTers Jerome,
and Deputy Attorney General Ken
nedy- and Sheriff .Hornheck of Dutch
ess county, also, left, tonight y
They will come back for, the hear
ing Tuesday. Thaw, according, to the
understanding reached, will be taken
to Concord tomorrow morning. He
was quartered in Thayerss, hotell to-
night, feeling fine, and predicting that
the gates. ..of Matteawan would. never
close behind him again. -,
Mr.. Jerome had little to say. "Thaw
is tied up now with federal writ, .
he said, "and there is no getting
around it. But the questions to be
decided by the governor are simple
and we hope for victory"
Concluding his rescript today, Judge
Aldrich engaged Mr., Jerome in in
formal colloquy as regards Thaw's
status as an insane man or criminal
1t was perhaps the, most interesting
part of the brief court procedure.

for many others, the skirt with plaits
somewhere about it is a pronounced
favorite. The illustration shows n
of the latest ideas along these lines.
The four cores give a center back

vides a convenient place for the clos

serted at the lower edge gives a lit
