far more damage than was supposed.
The result is that a club is being or

its object the discoura cement of win

wheat there are few bugs to prey on
the corn. This move has the indorse-
ment of the county farm adviser.

DEATH SUNDAY
OF A LITTLE GIRL
Mary Edith koIlmyer Baby Daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew J.
kollmyer.

Mary Edith Kollmyer, little daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew j. Kohl
myer of No. 1919 Bank street, died at
2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon of
scarlet fever, after an illness Of one
week and two days, aged two years,
four months and two days. She was
a bright little girl, favorite with
the friends and neighbors of the fam
lily, and notwithstanding her tender
years, she seemed to realize her dam
gerous condition and made a heroic
effort for her life.
A touching little event coincident
with her death was tina. the holy
chimes Of st. Mary's Catholic church
rang out on that quiet Sabbath a1er-
noon just as her baby spirit passed
to The land of the leal.
The little girl is survived by her
parents, one sister Helen, ten years
old. and one infant brother, Harry,
aged six months.

This is the entering up Of ali the
variances that are found existing be-
tween the present Catholic Latin Bible
and the original manuscripts. For
this purpose, a big ledger has been
prepared. On each page are forty
ruled columns and each column is de-
voted to one OF the original manu-
scripts, while on the left is a column
reserved for the text of the present
version. When therefore, the last
comparison has been made in some
distan. monasteries the result sent to
Rome. and the variations recorded,
each OF the big pages of this ledger
will show at glance all differences
existing and the final work OF revis-
ing and editing the text for the per.
fected version Of the scriptures VIII,
be comparatively easy one.
Special interest for America has
been given to the work by reason or
the fact that some Of the most impor-
tant of the manuscripts used are the
property OF j. Pierpont Morgan or
New York. These are what are known
as the Golden Gospels written in
gold and they date back to the seconu
century.

Non Militant suffrasettes VIII Get on

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. I
LONDON, Jan 2o.-Lady Henry
Shersy and Lena Ashwell, the dra.
matte star, are the leaders of the
coun sry-wide movement Of non-mili-
tant suffragists to pray for success for
the votes for women measure, which
will come up for division In the house
of commons on Friday
Beginning today, one thousand wo-
men in London and throughout Eng
land, who are not militant, will give
five minutes each noon-time to silent
prayer and meditation to further the
cause Of equal suffrage until the COM
mons vote.
It is women's week in England.
The long heralded fight for votes for
women is at hand, the really decisive
battle, compared to which all previ-
Gus debates on the subject will
dwindle into insignificance.
Premier Asquith some days ago
gave the women unprecedented stand
ing, when he decreed that suffragette

house Of commons this week David
Lloyd George, chancellor of the ex-
chequer was designated as the cab-
net member to receive the women.
The bill will be debated day or
two before the final action on Friday.
Votes for women hangs on the So
called franchise BILL a measure de-
signed to make 25.OO0.00o additional
men in Great Britain parliamentary
electors. If the advocates of equal
suffrage win. they will also enfran-
chise 13,0o0,000 women.
A clause of the bill provides for
the extension of the franchise to
every male person. Sir Edward Grey,
foreign secretary. will move to amend
by striking out the word male Pre-
mier Asquith, an anti-suffragist, will
lead the fight on Grey's amendment
The cabinet ministers are about
equally divided on the subject.

The Gate City Is In receipt OF a
climbing from a Los Angeles, Cal,
newspaper, sent by friend on the
Pacific coast, extolling an invention
by w. C. Cutler, whom this friend
saws lis well known to many read
ers Of The Gate city" This inven-
lion is for the purpose of catching
natural gas from a great oil we'll,
chill 1t with an ice machine. change
ii into extremely valuable liquids far
colder tLan ice. and then discarding
the ice machine, use these sam.
iiuuids to chill the rest OF the gas
and make mole liquids. n SOUNDS
like a perpetual motion story and yet
It is claimed that this is what Mr..
Cutler, inventor and scientist. is do
Ing with his new plan. at Olinda 1t
is claimed to be the first strictly re.
migrating plant for the reduction of
gasoline from natural gas ever estab-
lished in the world and 1T is further
claimed in a note accompanying he
clipping that this plant Is making
gasoline at less than two cents gal
lon. It is said that " tn a single

sas he housewife will be able to:
First, to cool her ice box; second. to
run the gas through a pipe and there
by light the house; third, heat the
house; fourth, do her cooking in the
Kitchen
Wonderful expectations are present
ed as to what it will do to revolu-
tionize in the matter OF heat, refrige-
ration and power in cities reasonably
accessible to oil territory. An inter
estlng story is told Of this wonderful
invention and of what it promises.
and then, 1t has brief closing in a
personal way of this successful inven.
TOR and scientist, known 10 many
Gate City readers" who will no doubt
be interested and entertained in this
mention, and who will recall him as
an acquaintance and Friend of other
days and some Of them have probably
Kept In touch with him even to the
present time.
Speaking of him personally, The
Les Angeles, Calf, Tribune OF a re-
cent date says:
Cutler is an odd scientist. He is
lond Of working in his garden; has
taught his pet rooster how to crow
' wnen spoken to; has seedless rasp-
berries and grapes from Algiers in
liourlshing condition. He has not a
e g education. although he would
llRe one, but he reads deeply and
p,ersistently, and his questions fall on
Tue ear as fast as the hoofs of a
norge at sharp trot. He is married
and mas pretty home and five acre
