Panther's Case Recalls
Missing Prairie, Which
Lost Touch With World

On only two occasions within the last
year has the Navy Department been
subjected to such strain as since the
reports have been published that the
Panther is missing Immediately after
the Titanic disaster the Navy Depart
ment was a center Of feverish activity.
More recently, while w. T. S. Doyle
and Brig. Gen. Frank Mcintyre were
cruising in Dominican waters, the Navy
Department lost track of the Prairie for
several days. She had $50 marines on
board, in addition 20 the officers and
crew. In that case it happened that
communication across the island had
been interrupted and the direct cable
from Santo Domingo had been cut some
time previously by rebels, and was out
of touch with points of communication.
The Navy Department believes there
will be a similar end to the excitement
over the Panther.

Congressman Lever of South Caro-
lima, slated for the craftsmanship of the
Committee on Agriculture, declared in
the closing session of the American
Forestry Association that If he is elect
ed and an attempt is made to cede for
est and mineral lands to the States he
will be constrained to go back a few
years and Cannonize that kind of propo-
sition." He expects to. have the back
ing of the committeeman in this view.
I'VE are going to see to it that no
insidious effort to steer us away from
the correct attitude shall succeed" he
continued. 1.-The Democratic party is
not going to change materially the
policy now in vogue with reference to
conservation; if there is any change it
is going to be a change for the better
and in the interests of all the people"

nine knots an hour, making her due at

Bad weather was undoubtedly en-

Last year at this time, when heavy
weather was also experienced, the
Panther took exactly seven days for

Despite this reassuring statement, the

To Break "Vehicle Trust"

An important portion of tie bill en-
powers the Commissioners to fix con-
veyance rates during inaugural week,
thus carrying out effectively the plan
of the local transportation committee
to break the vehicle trust
The Senate will show practically no
opposition to the resolution, it f.
thought, and while slight opposition
probably will develop in the House. it
is not considered nearly strong enough
to defeat the measure.

historic interest is as follows: William

PLAN FOR HOUSING
MILITIA IN SCHOOLS
GETS A SETBACK
Chairman Weller May Take
the Matter Up to
Congress.

The fight for use of schools as bar
racks for soldiers during inaugural
| week has been abandoned, temporarily
at least, but Chairman NJ. /. Weller, of
the public comfort committee, may still
carry out his threat to take the subject
| to Congress for vote. The Board Of
Educators vote against his project
changed his plans at the last minute,
! and he reported at the noon meeting of
the inaugural committee merely that he
is anticipating no trouble in housing all
the troops and visitors.
\ change in plans for reviewing
stands construction was voted upon the
recommendation of the stands commit
tee that Waddy B. Wood, of the street
decorations committe, could oversee the
work to better advantage than to have
it merely under the one committee. Mr.
Wood will now have entire charge Of
street decorations and construction of
the Presidential and Lafayette Park
stands, but the sale of seats will be
as heretofore.
Major General Wood was absent from
today's meeting, and submitted no re-
port on the matter of President-elect
Wilson's choice of personal escort.
Fund Reaches S75,66s.
Chairman Thorn, of the finance COM
mittee, reported that the inaugural
fund has reached s75,665, go per cent of
which is in cash, while the remainder
is expected before January Is under
the contribution pledges. Chairman
James, of the transportation committee,
reported favorable action by the great
trunk line associations on petitions fer
favorable rates to and from washington
during inaugural week.
The committee voted $500 to the mar
shal's committee, and SOU to the
medals and badges committee, which Is
planning a larger medal than hereto
fore for the President, Vice President,
and inaugural chairman, and commit
tee members.
Chairman Harper, of the civic or
CARNATIONS committee, reported
heavy amount of business with salts
factory progress.
The first meeting of the fireworks
committee will be held tomorrow night,
when plans for the pyrotechnic displays
submitted today by manufacturers now
in Washington. will be considered.
Designs For Souvenirs.
Beautiful designs for the souvenirs
and ball tickets have been decided upon
by the committee in charge. The Blu
reau of Engraving and Printing is now
busy turning out these designs and soon
will start on producing the souvenirs
and tickets.
Favorable action on the joint resolu-
ton introduced in the Senate and
House, covering inaugural committee
requests, is expected on Monday. The
resolution asks for use of the Pension
building, except the pension payment
departments, for the inaugural ball, I'M
der a time limit to be set by the Secre-
tary of the Interior; for an appropria-
ton OF $500 for maintaining public
order during inaugural week, and for
permission to string lights and wires in

in about two years. Assur was thu
first Asyrian capital city, giving it's
name. to the Assyrian nation; there the
Oldest ASSyrian monuments have been
discovered, Assur continued as a sacred
city until the fall of Nineveh in SOS,
E.. G.
DR.. Andrae and his successor, DR..
Maresh, traced the ancient double walls
Of the city and the moat and cleared
the ancient gateways. In places the
parapet along the outer edge of the
summit of the walls was preserved, and
even the loop-holes through which the
archers might shoot the enemy at its
base are still perfect. Within the city
were discovered the earliest Assyrian
palace and temples, the home OF the
mayor, with an intricate system of wa
ter works and drainage, a business
street lined with shops and paved with
blocks of marble. the thickly crowded
residential section of the poorer -peo-
pie, the great vaulted tombS of the
mobiles. with massive doors Of stone,
which still swing on their stone ptvots,
weapons and innumerable
of gold and stone. At the southern part
of the city in an open space by the
walls there appeared a veritable forest
of stone monuments, monollths from
-four to eight feet high, each engraved
near it's top with an ASsyrian inscrip-
ton containing the name of the king
or noble to whom 1t was dedicated One
of them bore he name Shamuramat,
or the nee supposed mythical Sem
iramis, who, so tradition says, was
transformed into a dove. OF all the
objects discovered by the Germans in
Mesopotamia this one is Of the great
est historical value.
Within the past three months the
Germans have gone to the south Ba-
bylonian ruin of Warka. to begin their
excavations in hat largest, of all the
Babylonian mounds. There lived. the
hero of the Gilgamish epic. and Erech,
it's ancient name, is. mentioned in one
Of the early chapters of the Bible.
Should it's. excavation be carried on
with the same patience and thorough
ness with which the Germans have
worked at Babylon and Assur the
world may expect discoveries of the
greatest interest.

Another way to have fresh dough-

as directed and cut off enough each
morning to roll out and fry for break

the refrigerator, which chills the yeast

cook must rise early to raise the
dough. The first method is easier.

Getting Up.

Don't jump up the first thing your
eyes are open, is the injunction of a
writer in The Family Doctor. Re
member, he says, that while vol sleep
the vital g a are at rest. The vital
ity is lowered and the circulation not
so strong. A sudden spring out Of bed
is a shock to these organs, especially
to~the heart, as it starts pumping the
blood suddenly. Don't be in such a.
hurry. Stretch and yawn and yawn
and stretch. Stretch the arms and legs,
stretch the whole body. A good yawn
and stretch is even better than a cold
| bath. Take time. 1t will keep you
young and add years to your life.

Miss Mabel A. MacKinney mas
just retired as president Of the
International kindergarten Union,
which held its annual meeting in
Washington. Under her admins
tration for the past two years the
organization has grown greatly,
and she left the chief office with
the union in a fiourishing condi-
ton. During the meeting she pre-
sided with the dignity of a presi-
dent of the United States senate,
and parliamentarians in Washing
ton-where they are plentiful-re-
marked that she was n of the
best presiding officers they had
known.
Miss MacKinney is a graduate
of the Chicago Kindergarten COL
lege, now the National Kinder
,garten college, and at this time
she is supervisor of the Brooklyn
Free Kindergarten society, an I'M
official 1 organization which has
done much to promote the inter-
ests of kindergarten work in con-
nection with the public school
system.
