EUROPE URGED TO ACT.
British Bankers Feel Mexico's de-
fault on National Debt Iatercst,

WASH NGroN. Jan. 2i.--Announccment
from London that members Of the Lond m
Chamber of Commerce are heing cam
vassed regarding their opinion On the adj
Instability OF urging the British Govern
ment to negotiate with the French and
German Governments with view to
"regularizing' Mexican finances was re-
garded here to-day as a most interesting
development. II IL understood that the
desire Of the British for Governmental
action grows out OF the default of the
Huerta Government on the January inter-
est on the Mexican foreign debt.
There Is no doubt in official quarters
here that the British financial interests
will I've found to be heartily In favor OF
the action which is proposed. Similar
sentiment has been expressed by inter
ested parties in Germany and France
where the default on the Mexican debt Is
said TO he causing distress To many. That
the British Government will be inclined to
act on such representations AS the imam
,ial interests may make Is considered
very doubtful. 1t is believed that Great
Britain France and Germany are still
bound by their pledge to President Will
son to await the results OF his policy be-
fore taking any action In regard tn Mexico
In diplomatic circles here there is every
Indication that the European Governments
are still OF the opinion that they can dc
nothing but wait for the United states u
clear up the Mexican situation.

WHY CALLED DEVILS METAL" "
Nickel, Now So Extensively Used, Was
Once Considered the Bane OF
the Miner.

Nickel was first discovered by
Kronstadt In 1851. No use was made
of it, as it was found only in small
amounts. For a great many years the
German miners called it kupfernickel.
or devils copper. 1t was believed by
those simple folk that Old Nick, or the
devil, made this ore purposely to
bother the miners, as 1t looked exactly
like copper ore and yet no copper
could be extracted from it.
Nickel was scarce until New York
assayer found a quantity of 1t IN a
shipment of ore from Canada. He
stated it's value in his report and the
owner of the mine prospected for more
and found large quantities of it.
Nickel is hard, ductile and malleable
1t is white in color, with a yellowlsn
cast. It ranks next to iron and cobalt
in magnetic properties and is exten
sively used for plating purposes, be
cause it will take high polish ant
will not rust. Nickel added to stee

ALWAYS EVIL TO BE IDLE
Jaoanese Proverh That Is Well Worth
Taking to Heart by the People
of This Country.

There is an excellent proverb, which
has been handed down to one genera
ton after another of japanese. 1t
ought to be In every language. II
runs thus, ITO do nothing is to do
evil" Perhaps it is this which makes
the Jap SO busy. remarks the Boston
Advertiser. It is very hard to eaten
him doing nothing. Even his social
intercourse is filled with things to do.
There is infinite bowling and scraping
and bending double, before friend is
properly greeted or tea is properly
served. But the proverb may not be
compelled to work so far as the Japa-
nese make 1t work, in order to do
good. 1t Is a question whether the
wise of this country realize as they
might. and as the wise should, how
evil 1t is to be idle. 1t is this whict
leads the children of the city into mis-
chief. The houses are so close to
gether that they have lost the chores
which were once theirs. The chores
are done out on the farms or by thu
city. 1t is idleness which is the curs
of the rich and of the poor. Yet 1t i
idleness which seems to be the grea
desire of the individuals of our na
ton. In desiring 1t they desire evi
and they do not realize what 1t
they wish.

Eye to Business.

eOld customs die hard in Africa,
writes missionary teacher in the
Methodist school at Quessua, Angola
"A man came to us last year and
brought two of his daughters This
spring he brought two more. He
seemed very happy to place them In
our care, and l was touched by his
fatherly interest in just girls. So ]
asked him his motive in bringing them
to US. He told me quite frankly that
his brothers daughter had been stu.
dent in our school and that when she
went home she could read books, write
letters and sew, and that the man
who married her gave her father $24
more than the usual gift for wife
Now he concluded, if you will whiI

THEArER PRICES FALL

London Oct. 2.-The war has
brought about two innovations in the
leading London theaters, reduction
of prices and the privilege of sitting
in the best seats without wearing
evening dress. The stalls of London
houses, which correspond to orches-
ira seats in America, are ordinarily
sold at $2,50, but several of the prin-
cipal theaters have reduced the prices
to So. Although there was no hard
and fast rule there was a custom
which only a few independent people
had the temerity to violate that every
occupant of the stalls should wear
evening dress. The exceedingly fash
ionable theaters controlled by Sir Her
bert Beerbohm Tree and Sir George
Alexander were among the first to
recognize that war is a time when
formalities are at a discount. When
people are cutting off their luxuries,
and many in mourning or oppressed
with anxiety for relatives at the front,
theater going suffers sharp decline.
In the interests of the many people
who depend upon them for living
the managers are doing their best to
keep their houses open. Profit shar-
ing has been adopted by many Lon
don and provincial establishments,
