Los actores alemanes

Tn alto funcionario prusiano juzgo
comprometida su dignislad porque un
comedante de Berlin escogio como
nombre artlstico un apellido igual al
sqyo, que es POGO corriente.
Y Sc dirigio los tribunales para Que
estos prohibieran al comediante usat
dicho apellido en- la escena y fuera DE-
ella.
Decia EN- su escrito que cada vez que
le preguntaban 81 era pariente del actor
en- question, sentiasc humillado
En- dos instancias sucesivas han re-
chazado su peticion.
Ell fallo del Kammergericht de Ber-
lin, que reproduce la Gaceta dc Voss
es particularmente notable.
Dicese en- el que el apellido es usado
muy honradamente por el actor, que es-
te eS TN hombre de talento y que su Vi
da privada desaffa toda cr1tica.
En- tales condolences, el funcionario
prusiano debe. sentirse orgulloso de que
le cream pariente del comediante.
Los actores alemanes estan muy sa-
tisfechos con fallo tan halagiieno.

SEWING MACHINES
WILL Be PURCHASED
FOR USE IN SCHOOL

Two sewing machines will probably
be purchased for use in the domestic
science department of the local schools
as a result OF the recommendation Of
Supt. Osborne to the board of educa-
ton at It's regular meeting last Wed
nesday evening.
One hundred and twenty eight girls
are taking sewing in the domestic
science department at the present
time and in order to give efficient in
struction it has been felt that it is
absolutely necessary for the depart
ment to possess at least two sewing
machines.
Sewing machines are furnished by
the manufacturers to schools at about
half price. At present four machines
Of leading makes are being tested out
at the schools and from these a selec-
ton will be made.
superintendent Osborne has recon-
mended that the board buy one ma
chine and that the pupils and teach
ers through their organizations buy
another Thus the cost to the school
board will be only about SIC to SIS
for two machines.

New Manhole Constructed

Street commissioners James Megin-
ley, reconstructed the manhole at the
southeast corner of Main and Pleas
ant streets Tuesday. At that point the
six inch sewer from the south empties
into the main trunk sewer. In addi-
ton to this the entrance to the sewer
through the manhole must handle the
water from the cutters in two direc-
tions. To obviate the liability of
gorging the sewer at this point the
oriflce through which all OF the water
from the cutters and branch sewer
must pass before entering the trunk
line had been reduced TO six inches in
diameter.
In the reconstruction, the new
orifice was made eight inches in dia-
meter instead OF six. This will allow
the passage OF a great deal more
water and will eliminate the nuisance
OF having the surface water back up
in the cutters on this corner. The
new manhole Is of brick and concrete.
with ample wings to collect the sur
face waters and allow them to pass
into the trunk sewer readily.

FRED A. WASRbURN
HEARD NJ CUTCHEON
ON EUROPEAN WAR

While in Chicago last week +. A.
Washburn had the good fortune to be
extended an invitation by one of his
Indiana friends TO attend an impromptu
luncheon held by the Indiana society
had unexpectedly returned from trip
through the European theatre OF war.
Mr.. Washburn considered it great
honor to attend the function at which
about seven hundred were present
McCutcheon with five other men left
the United States expecting to go to
France. When the party arrived in
London they were advised to go to
Antwerp instead, as they could get
nearer the seat OF war at that point.
Arriving at Antwerp they engaged an
automobile for two days to take them
out to the front. After the two days
trip Mr.. McCutcheon and his as
sociates could not in any way induce
their driver to go farther. They then
bought an old horse and buggy and
two bicycles. With these aids to
travel they advanced to where they
could hear the cannonading quite
distinctly AS they were driving along
a by-road the newspaper party sudden
ly and accidentally fell into the center
of a group of German staff officers.
They were quickly surrounded and
asked to identify themselves.
When the men explained to the
officers that they were American war
correspondents, and were seeking the
most reliable information obtainable
on the war, they were treated very
courteously but told that they would
not be allowed to go to the front be-
cause the German papers did not have
representatives at the front and IL
would not be just to grant Americans
the right.
Failing to get to the front the news
paper party crossed the border and
went to Louvain. They remained in
that city during the passage OF the Ger
man army. The soldiers required
three days and nights to pass.
Mr.. McCutcheon stated that they
were accorded the very best Of
treatment by the people OF all the
countries and the stories of German
atrocities, in his opinion. were great
ly exaggerated. In his judgment the
war would be long and he would not
care to venture any opinion as to the
outcome. He did believe, however,
that the most serious part would be
when the war is over.
Mr.. McCutcheon viewed the forti-
fications of the city OF Paris from the
deck OF a zeppelin. In Mr.. Wash
burns opinion Mr.. McCutcheon gave
an excellent discussion of the situation
from a general viewpoint.

Foot and Mouth War
Now Blamed For Foot
and Mouth Disease

CHICAGO. Nov. 10.-The gent
who planned the plot TO asass nate
Archduke Ferdinand and thus
blew of the lid for the European
war, must rise and defend him
self against the charge OF inrto-
ducing the foot and molth disease
into this country. and placing 4:
states under quarantine.
One Of the consequences OF the
war was European demand for
American meat. And, as the story
goes here, an Austrian cattle buy
er hied Chicago-ward, bringing a
miscellaneous collection In his
travelling bag that included one
well-worn pair OF furry gloves
which he wore In driving his
fathers cows to market.
IL was cold day when the
Austrian visited the Chicago stock
yards. the story continues. and he
slipped on the fury gloves. Each
glove contained 1,29S,377 germs
of foot and mouth disease, eager
to roam on American farms. Cat
tie destined for Niles. Mich, be-
came infected. but the disease did
not make itself known for n week,
and the Austrian gentleman with
the furry gloves was Oh hia way.
