Weather Conditions

harometric pressure continues high over the southeastern scorner of tle country and a wave of high pressure is crossing the middle Rocky mountains. A narrow trough of low pressure extends between these highs from Maine to lower Cali forpia through the middle Mississippi valley. This pressure distribution is con- tinuing the southeriy winds that have been blowing across Alabama for the last two or three days, and keeps the weather unsettled.

Actual German invasions of France occurred at Nancy and Longwy, while a battle is reported to have taken place at Nancy.
 From the Russo German frontier come reports that Russians invaded Germany near Schwinden.
 Servia, the original cause of the up- feaval, seems to have been almost lost sight of. The Austrians. according to reports from Nish virtually have ceased operations against Servia in order to meet the greater danger in Russia

to the European embassies and consulates-
 The most immediate concern of many tourists is to obtain funds for sustenance. Although there are enough steamships running to care for those who desire to leave officials realize that transporta- tion facilities will diminish. Inasmuch as the Washington government chartered steamships to take American refugees from Mexico, there is little doubt that an appropriation for such purposes will be asked from Congress.
 Many Americans abroad are school teachers and anxious to get back for the opening of schools in September. Tourists who carried just sufficient funds for their trip find themselves in embarrassment because of the delay in steamship sail- ings and the expense of prolonged stay at hotels
 Although the United States is a neutral observer in the war, the manifold interests of America in Europe today commanded the incessant attention of President will son and government officials.

PIE ORDER?

The juicy apple pie is not the neat
est looking thing on the pantry shelf.
Yet when one wishes to indicate ex-
IRENE neatness, the first thing one
thinks about is the expression Gin
apple-pie order" To find the reason
for this, one must go back to the old
fashioned housewives, who decorated
their apple pies with little turrets of
pie crust. These we're set in place
with the greatest precision, in rows,
or, as the old-fashioned word was, in
orders" So, when anything was
particularly neat or orderly, it was
said to be like an apple-pie row or or

Check Brain Work When the Child l.
 Growino Rapidly


 As soon as child begins to grow rapidly all intellectual exertion should be checked Such is the theory which pr. C. Mercier. the famous English au- thority on children. expresses in an article ill the London Lancet ESpe- cially when there is any family tenden- cy to nervous or mental disorder. rap idly growing children should be with drawn from school altogether until the period of rapid growth is over.
 Mercier does not think that intelec- tual work at high pressure is harmful to either boys or girls as long as food. sleep and bodily exercise are sufficient. but he is sure that pressure of intel lectual work in those who are grow ing rapidly should never be permit ted. and if growth be proceeding very rapidly all intellectual work should be put aside.
 pr. Mercier insists that it is scarce ly possible to give growing children too much to eat. and 1t should always be borne in mind that the carbohy- drates = starch. sugar and fat = are mainly fuel that Is burned up in pro- ducing muscular movement and that the proteins are the main elements in the formation of tissue Consequently it is d mistake to restrict the meat ra tion of children

 Leaving Boston the l6th of October. went by railroad to New Haven. passing through Springfield. The rapid ity of the locomotion is frightful to those who are unused to 1t, but you adapt yourself to the speed and soon become. like all the rest of the world, impatient of the slightest delay. l well understand that an antipathy for this mode of travel is possible. There is something internal in the irresistible power of steam. carrying such heavy masses along with the xwiftness of lightning.
 The habits growing out of contin- ued contact with railroads and the in- fuence they exert on a portion of the community are far from agreeable un- til one Is familiar with them You would cry out in dismay did you see your baggage flung pel mell like logs of wood-trunks. chests, travelling bags. hat boxes-all in the same mill. and if here and there something goes to pieces no one is astonished Never mind!

 contcibuted Liquor Interests Fear "John BarIeycorn" in Movies''

It is reported by the general press that the liquor interests of the Middle West have offer ed S25,000 to the company which is making the moving pictures for the presentation of Jack London's "John Barley corn,' if they will agree not to exhibit them in certain Speci- fled states engaged in local campaigns.
 Frank Garbutt. vice-president of the company, is said to have admitted that the offer had been made, and quoted from a letter in which R. J. kilhoser, corresponding secretary of the league, wrote:
 "If you will hold off the pres entation of these rictures un- til December. 1 in the states of Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, h. diana, Iowa, Michigan and Mis- souri, we will pay you s25.- 0OO."
 "Shortly after We began work on the John Barleycorn' pic. tures," said Mir. Garbutt. "I re- ceived a letter from Kilhoser in which he said his organization had heard of the pictures and wanted to send a representa- tive to see them. On receiving the representatives report, he said the League might make me an interesting proposition.
 "The representative saw inc pictures, and then came the letter stating that the board of directors of the Personal Lib- erty League did not wish them shown, and making the offer of S25,OO0.
 "We turned the offer down without hesitation. The pie lures point great moral lesson and while I am not teetotaler, We are in the business of man. ufacturing films and selling them and the offer will not be considered.

RuPPERT'S YANKEES
Johnson Refuses to Make
Statement Until After
Close of Deal.
TsY LEASED WIRE.1

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The final de-
tails Of the sale of the New York
Yankees probably will be perfected
this afternoon. According to a prom
inent baseball man who is in close
touch with the situation, "Wild Bill"
Donovan, the former Detroit pitcher.
who led the Prosidence Grays to the
International League championship In
1914, will be the next manager of the
Yankees.
To the report that Donovan would
be made manager when Jacob Rup-
pert and Captain Huston closed the
purchase of the team, President Ban
Johnson, of the American League said
early today that he would make an
announcement later in the day. I'll
give you the name of the new manager
when the deal is closed" said John
son. HE is favorite with New
York fans and has won many pen
nants."
The story, as originally given out,
was that every effort had been made
by the American League moguls to
crafty Huston and Ripper by making
Hughey Jennings or Connie Mack
manager of the Yankees. These eff
forts failing, Donovan was offered.
