Prisoners on Mars, or a
Glance at an Unq
known Planet
by HOWARD FALK.
(contInued from saturday)
BY HOWARD FALL


The leader of the committee was
called a Pamla by the inhabitants.
He was a young, intelligent looking
man of about thirty. II was two
months later when we were taken
before him.l by the time we had
learned the language and had sue
ceeded in convincing the people that
we had nothing to do with the sleep
belt, which one and everyone of them
cordially hated because of its un-
pleasant effect.
THE Pamla questioned us:
'Senecas (people), how came you
on our city, and did you influence
the drema (sleep-belt) in any way?'
" No, most honored Pamla,' said
Ralph, and he told his story and told
about our planet, of which the Pamla
was very interested.
Il believe you,' he returned; and
you shall have your liberty
we taught the Martians religious
things, and a. method of writing which
they all voted excellent.
by means of the giant mirror we
exchanged heliograph signals with
the earth, which still had millions OF
people on it, although millions had

"Ten is the best time" he mumbied

find out later
He went home, put on his coat ana
started on q short cut which he well
knew. He started on a run and then
a trot, and last of all he walked fast.
The station was a good four miles
distance. He started at o'clock ami
reached Pikesville at o'clock, which
was destination. He immediately
told the station agent OF what he
heard. The agent telegrapned at once
to the station agent at the next sta
ton back to stop at Pikesville, where
they seldom did. as this train was an
express train.

peace between the warning, floating
cities forever, we decided to return to
the earth All the necessary needs
were procurable on that planet. so we
returned safely.
1.-THE earth was entirely changed.
The Pacific ocean was no more; the
Atlantic was twice rs large as for
merly. Half of Mexico was part of
the Atlantic. Alaska and Siberia
were Joined. The land which was
formerly covered by the Pacific was
found to contain mountain ranges,
valleys, canyons, caves, plateaus and
millions of dollars in gold, silver etc.
Millions of wrecks were uncovered.
The sea had at last given back its
toll, and we never forgot when the
sea gave back It's toll.
Now there is constant line of
Auto Grays between earth and Mars,
due to our exertions, and we freely
signal Mars"

1t was a thing to be expected That
imports should show a. considerable
increase at the end of last year, says
The Journal of Commerce. The tar
lift act reducing duties went into effect
Oct 3, and for the next two months
there va considerable releasing of
goods which had been held in bonded
warehouse awaiting that event.
The removal of the duties ON raw
wool did not take effect until Dec. I
and the record for that month con
tinued to be materially affected by
the warehouse accumulation. The re-
suit is the highest record ever attain
ed in single month, the value of
imports being $3.50, 732, 736, compared
with $3.50 ,444 in December, 1912
This was, no doubt, chiefly the re-
suit of tariff changes, but not exactly
q result that can he expected to con-
finue as normal, since it was largely
due to the warehouse adjustment. AS
the rest of the wool schedule did not
take effect until the beginning of this
year. there will be some further ad-
5ustrnent of the kind for the presen1
month.
Exports for December show a de-
crease in aggregate value from $780,.

PUBLIC MORALS BOARD.

The Kansas City Board Of Public
Welfare has been in existence four
years, and has justified itself by re-
suits. Cleveland, Duluth and other
cities are now organizing similar
bodies.
The function of the board seems to
be to do everything hat the regular
city departments leave undone. 1t is
the keeper Of the public conscience, the
monitor Of the morals OF the city No
wonder that it has encountered op-
position!
Among its activities are the follow
ing:
Regulation of dancing.
Enforcing safety and comfort in
factories.
Parole Of worthy prisoners.
Social centers started in the public
schools.
Inspection and regulation of motion
pictures.
Legal aid bureau.
The Kansas City board is self-per-
petuating. The mayor has the appoint
i've power, but he always accepts the
recommendation of the board.
The board makes a study Of private
charities. and recommends those which
1t finds well administered to the pub
lie for support. Last year the board
spent $124.95 arranging for the free
use of vacant lots for gardens. 0ver
$4,000 worth of produce was raised.

Marked originality of design charac-

Other innovations are:

cts, heavy splicing, special pivot or

The bridge is also notable for the
magnitude of its chord sections and
their robust makeup; for the great
weight Of single Notwithstanding

parts of large bridges previously
erected; and for its great weight,
which averages about 3S, 900 pounds
steel and $4,000 pounds total per lineal

due to the large live-1oad capacity
provided. No existing large-span
bridge is designed for four lines OF

it reached 1886, 461, 1850, but hat was
the direct result of the financial panic
in the autumn Of the previous year,
which caused a heavy falling off in

gold from abroad, which would not
have been necessary if we had had a
sound banking system. But in that
case there probably would not have
been the panic.

nightmare, thankful to be alive, and

have a tendency to put a different
view to the possible candidacy Of
Andy Miller and Editor Black of
Grand Forks. If Worst is a candidate
he will be a factor that will have to
be reckoned with. OF course, Senator
Gronna is against the field. And
every one admits he is q power.
It is doubtful if Burdick will have
the united support of the insurgents,
many feeling that while Hanna has
made some political mistakes his
administration has been a business
one, and that by all rules of the game
he Is entitled to a reelection if he
wants it. It is even limited that the
element who Ire backing Burdick are
merely doing SO to keep in line until
they get a clear idea of the possible
lineup. Tom Hall, as secretary of
state, apepars to have given satisfac-
ton to all except a few up around the

bowed down in a few matters Of small
