TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

Kate Anderson in the Christian Reg
lister: Some so-called friends are
people that will flatter you simply be-
cause they want to please you by PAM
pering your vanity. Their pretty
speeches do not ring true. Benjamin
Franklin tells US that they are the
folk who have some Interior motive,
"an AK to grind" You will recall
that amusing anecdote of his which
relates how he toiled at the grind
stone for a wearisome while, sharpen
ing an ak for stranger who had pat
ted him on the head and called him
a fine little fellow. When that re-
lentless tool was at last brought to
nice, fine edge, the boy was curtly
told to go about his business. And
30 it is that tive grown-ups, wise as
we think ourselves, are sometimes
brought into contact with people who
have some ak or other TO be put into
good working order. They tell us

But q true friend, without intend
ing any deception, may speak with ap-
probation of the excellence which

praise does world Of good. When
ever we speak sincerely to friend

which he has done, we help him In

HIGH COST OF STAGING MOVIES.

Every frequenter of the motion pic
ture theaters must have been struck,
at some time or another, by the lux
uriousness of the stage setting of
most Of the society dramas-the mag
nificence of the decorations and the
costliness of the dresses worn by the
performers, says London Answers.
Few, however, have any real cop
ception Of the huge cost of these
things, or appreciate the pains taken
by the big film-producing companies
to get the best of everything.
Take, for instance, the costumes of
the principal actresses. The capitals
of Europe are ransacked for the la
test creations" in millinery and
modes. When Miss Miriam Nesbit
and Miss Mary Fuller were last over
here with the Edison company they
paid visit to Paris for the purpose
Of purchasing stock Of such things
for future Edison productions, and
in two days shopping they spent more
than $4,000.
Miss Lottie Briscoe, the Lubin star
actress, recently played in film
which necessitated no fewer than four
teen changes Of costume. each costing
on an average about $75 and she
needs, when on tour, twenty trunks
for her wardrobe.
Miss Gene Gauntier wears one set
Of furs in the Kalem films that cost
$4,000, and she has other sets almost
equally as valuable. Miss Asia Neil
son is credited with being the most
expensively dressed actress in the pic
lures. Frequently her costumes in the
society scenes in which she specializes
will cost as much as $500 apiece.
1t might be thought that as the
actual dresses worn by the perform
ers are not seen by the public, but
only the Photographic representation
Of them, that common material or imi-
tation stuff would do as well as the
real articles.

TRY OUT OF POLICE
DOGS IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-A taxicab
containing four "gunmen" dashed up
to bench on which four men were
sitting in Van Courtland park today.
One of the bandits brandishing an
automatic revolver, was proceeding to
stick up" the two men on the bench
when a policeman a hundred yards
away came into sight. He sounded
his police whistle and drawing his re-
volver, started on a run towards the
scene Of the holdup, firing as he ad-
vanced. The three men in the taxi
answered the policeman's fire as did
the driver also.
As the policeman came up with the
taxi six policemen leading half doz-
en- rangy police dogs entered the park
and made for the scene of the shoot
ing. When the police reserves were
within few yards of the would be
bandits they loosed the dogs which
made for the robbers. Two of the
dogs leaped to the front seat Of the
taxi and pulled the driver to the
ground while the others made for the
men who had been Sticking" up the
victims. He was soon thrown to the
ground. The three robbers in the cab
threw their guns and and surrendered.
After some difficulty the police pull
led the dogs away from the bandit
and the taxi driver. Some 10000
spectators cheered Justify.
This was but one of the evciting
numbers on the program at Van
Courtland park today when the New
York public was invited to witness
the police dog trials and competi-
tions. Many high police and city
officials attended. Entered in the
competitions were several dogs train
ed by the famous German police dog
INSTRUCTORS" Boetger and Oschurtz,
brought over especially for today's
trials. The competitions were held
under the supervision Of the Ger
man sheppard dog club, and Miss A.
Tracy, niece Of the late J. p. Morgan,
was chairman Of the committee on
arrangements.

WHERE oPT1MIsTs WIN.

Brushing aside all the temporary is-

in the business and financial world,
one solid fact is left for an anchor.
Nothing can permanently stop the ms

Wars may cause heavy liquidation
of securities, while adverse legislation
may hamper and discourage business
people everywhere, and yet our popu-
lation and our lands are still here.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 23.-
Economists who hailed with delight
the enactment of the law creating an
industrial commission just about one
year ago, today are besieging con-
gress for some action in the matter.
The measure, which was passed with
considerable eclat, has not yet be-
come effective simply because no com
dertake the work. President Taft
nominated nine commissioners but
they died" with the last congress.
More than month ago President Will
son sent in the names of nine per-
sons, but so far the senate has failed
to act upon them. The fear is now
expressed that unless the commission
is soon able to get down to work, it
cannot complete the task assigned to
it in the time specified in the creative
law. The Hughes-Borah bill establish
ing the body specified that it must re-
port to congress within three years
after passage of the measure. One
year already has passed without any
action at all.
If the commission lived up strictly
to the scope Of the work outlined for
it, it is expected to be one of the most
important steps even taken toward So
lutions growing out of the age-old
war between capital and labor. 1t
originated with some of the ablest
thinkers and best known industrial
students in the country, about the
time that the nation was shocked by
the Mcnamara dynamiting confess
sions 1t was designed to ascertain
exactly the relations between the en-
ployers and their employees in every
field of labor.
The lawy provides for commits
sion of nine members, three represent
ing the employers, three representing
the employees and three representing
the public. The members are to be
paid their expenses and $40 per day
while actually working. The COM
mission is given broad inquisitorial
powers. It's specific duty is to inquire
into the general condition of labor in
the United States in all the principal
industries including agricultural. and
especially into the industries controll-
ed by corporations; to study the eff
feet Of industrial conditions on pub
lie welfare; to study conditions of san
itation and safety of employees; to in
vestigate labor unions and associa-
tions and organizations Of employers;
to investigate disputes between capi-
tai and labor and formulate some plan
of settlement to be suggested to con-
gress.
Just why the nominations have been
held up in the senate this session has
not been made clear except that GER
tain southern senators are said to
be dissatisfied that there is not enough
representation from that section
among the membership. Those named
by President Wilson are:
Representing the employers--Fred-
erick A. Delano, president Of the Wa
bash railroad; Harris Weinstock, mer-
chant of California; S. Thurston Bal
lard, manufacturer of Kentucky.
Representing labor--James O'Con-
nell, president of the metal trades de-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor; John B. Lennon, treasurer
of the American Federation Of Labor
A. B. Garretson, chief Of the Order
of Railroad Conductors.
Representing the public--Mrs. J
Borden Hartman Of New York; F
P. Walsh, Kansas City; John r. Com.

SHERBROOKE, Que, Aug. 23.-
Lawyers today admitted it is impos-

which will probably take place We'd

Thaw is quarreling with his law
yers, believing they are negligent in
opposing his deportation.

rested on the charge of bringing
Thaw, lunatic, into Canada, threat
ems to reveal the details of the escape
unless he is aided financially.
Harry Thaw has had fight with
his Canadian lawers. The situation is
the most tangled yet since his escape,
Thaw wants to stay in Canada. His
lawyers think Vermont the safer.
Canada objects to Thaw's presence but
is unwilling to deport him into the
hands of New York authorities.
According to Dominion authorities
and lawyers if Thaw is willing to go
to Vermont Canada will help him
there. If the prisoner insists on stay
ing and fighting deportation from Can
ada they will surrender him to New
York in the event he loses.
Lawyers say they can keep the case
in the Canadian courts for five years
but are not hopeful of the final out
come. They told 1haw today he must
to follow. He will announce his de-

DOINGS OF MEN OF SCIENCE
IN AMERICA AND ABROAD

The new disease-carrier discovered
by Professor Townsend of London is
a small, moth-like, hairy midge of
the genus Phlebotomus. This fly runs
well, but moves sluggishly in flight,
carrying its wings over its head, and
on coming to rest it folds the wings
back slantingly, like the roof OF
house. 1t lays its eggs in dark crev-
ices. They hatch in a week into cy-
lindrical larvae, living in stagnant wa
ter and decaying vegetation, and these
pass in eight weeks into pupae, when
burst in two weeks, letting out the
perfected flies. The flies are scatter
ed throughout tripical and subtropical
regions. One species is now found to
be the carrier of "seven days fever
which occurs where this fly is found,
and nowhere else. The fever virus
transmitted, closely related to those
of dengue and yellow fevers, is OF
the minute kind passing through ill
ters.
