Most Meritorious of Season.

The new year was auSpiciouSly
ushered in at the Orpheum with a bill
of unusual merit Thur sday afternoon
and evening. From an artistic stand

The Russian musicians proved the
popular hit Of the bill and were COM
PEELED to respond to many recalls at the
end Of their act Thursday evening. The
quartet is composed of d. Eisenberg,
violinist ]. Loseff, cello; Mrs. Essen
berg, pianist: and Mrs. Loseff, soprano.
Mr.. Eisenberg is deserving Of the
highest praise, his violin numbers be-
ing real musical treat. Mr.. Losers
cello solo was no less deserving. Mrs.
Loseff has a pleasing voice, and APP
peared To best advantage in the clos
ing number. the ssextet from Lucia
The Imperial Quartet has been in
this country five years. and shortly
before coming to America had the
honor Of appearing before the royal
family. They are under contract with
the Davidson Lyceum Bureau for the
coming summer season.
I James Callahan, a character actor Of
recognized ability. appears in num-
Der of character changes that are ex-
ceptionally good. All of the changes
are made in full view of the audience
in remarkably short time. Thursday
evening Mr.. Callahan appeared as
Abraham Lincoln. Emperor William,
Gen. Robert E. Lee. Mark Twain. and
Pope Leo. The last was remarka BILE
impersonation. Mr.. Callahan has pre-
scented his act for many years turnout

associated in several bills with T. Nell

HARD TO INTERRUPT SERVICE
Common Mistake That Wireless Com
munication Can Be Easily In
terfered With.

Many suppose that II is possible for
an enemy to disrupt and suspend all
wireless communication at will by pro-
ducing very powerful waves of irreg-
ular length; in other words, by inter
ference or "jamming' According to
Commander F. G. Loring Of the Brit
ish navy, such tactics are seldom sue
cessful 1t is very hard, If not i'm
possible, to lam" well-organized
wireless service, for there are many
ways, both technical and methodical.
to defeat such an intention. II the
enemy attempts interference, he must
put his own wireless communication
completely out OF action for the time
being, with no certain prospect OF Sc
riously mountaineering the communi-
cation Of his opponent. Commander
Loring also believes that the risk OF
having the signals Of the fleet inter-
cepted by an enemy Is very slight.
"Co-operation between operators, with
full knowledge Of each others meth
DDS, Is extremely important when han
ding difficult code messages, and the
more skilled the organization, the
more difficult 1t Is for strange OPP
orator to take down with the neces-
sary accuracy the groups of a code
message He cannot ask for the
repetition of doubtful groups, and he
has no intimate and daily familiarity
with the methods of the sender to as
sist him in his task. And, after all,
giving the enemy every advantage,
giving him a perfect record of the sig
nails, the ley Of the code to his hand,
and equal facility of skill and lam
guage to translate it for use-a most
important combination, it must be adj
mitted-he has still failed to prevent
the all-important information from
reaching It's destination" - Youth s

MUCH SOUND; LITTLE EFFECT
Protest of Champ Clark Reminded
Alabama Statesman OF
Humorous Story.

The most dramatic day of the Sixty
third congress was when Champ Clark,
the speaker of the house, took the floor
for his famous speech explaining why
he opposed President Wilson's policy
of repeating the Panama canal tolls
exemption law. Clark was on the los
ing side, and everybody knew that the
vote would certainly uphold the presi-
dent
While the speaker was delivering
his remarks in his vibrant, booming
voice, Tom Heflin Of Alabama walked
through the Democratic cloakroom.
Even there the thunder of Clark's
voice was audible.
Heflin stopped, laughed and said:
That reminds me of an old colored
man down in my state. He was work
ing out in the middle of field on a
hot summer day. 1t was so hot that
the heat seemed to be simmering Wis
IDLY wherever you looked. After a
while the midday train rushed by
about half mile away, whistling for
a crossing and roaring and laundering
as it went.
The old man watched 1t go by,
took hold of his hoe and stopped over
his work once more. Then he said,
talking to himself:

MEDICAL SCIENCE AND WAR
Vast Advances of Recent Years Have
Greatly Reduced tho {.
Mortality.

While the war in Europe is by far
the greatest in the history of the world
and the destruction of life cannot fail
to be tremendous, there is satisfaction
In considering that, on account OF the
vast advances that have been made
In medical and surgical science in re-
cent years, the percentage of loss will
be greatly reduced
In the Franco-Prussian war the sur
geons looked upon the infection OF
wounds as matter OF course. They
regarded the presence of the attendant
pus as a necessity, and as long as the
pus was what was known as "laud-
able" they were satisfied with the con-
dition of the patient. Other patients
developed another form of pus,
streptococcal, which caused the doc
tors Of those days gravely to shake
their heads and prepare for the death
Of the patient. Even the best hos
pitfalls were not properly ventilated
and were filled with the foul odors
emanating from infected wounds and
gangrene All this was considered I'M
avoidable. At that time suppuration
and kindred complications in wounded
men we're regarded as of spontaneous
origin, although the researches OF
Pasteur had already pointed the way
to a general understanding Of germs
When at length purulent infection was
found to be the result of germs disin-
fectants were brought into use. Car
bolic acid was the agent generally en-
ployed at first for that purpose, and
the attendant success In treating
surgical injuries and in performing
operations where carbonized dressings
were used and the air was subjected
to carbonic acid spray, caused the
most profound Scientific

1913 according to the bureaus figures
1851 men were killed in mining and
approximately 100000 were injured.
The death rate for each thousand men
engaged in the industry was $40.

ORIGIN LOST IN ANTIQUITY
Phrase That Has Become Famous Has
Been Credited to Many Think
ers and Writers.

"Germany's place in the sun" is a
phrase usually credited to the former
Chancellor Won Buelow. But how far
back does 1t go?
A writer to the New York Evening
Post quotes from Ernest Remains Life
Of Jesus" THE situation of a poor
nan is dreadful; literally there Is no
place for him in the sun" The writer
Of the letter observes, ut would be
Interesting to know If the metaphor
was original with Renan."
1t was not.
In Pascal's Thoughts" this occurs:
This place in the sunshine Is mine;
that Is the beginning and the type of
lsurpation the world over" And Pas.
Ills Thought" Of that moment, was
If war.
Was It Louis Fourteenth (the mon
arch of Pascal's maturity who had
coined the phrase to justify his ambi
lions? Or was it the phrase of Richie
lieu (discoverer of the youthful Pas
calls genius) who used it for France?
Was it then an old saying, borrowed
from Caesar, or Alexander-or maybe
from Rameses?

Early History of Pittsburgh.

The investment of all there was Of
Pittsburgh at the time by the victo-
rious army Of General Forbes was
completed November rs, 1853, the day
following the blowing up of Fort Du-

of them and their Indian allies. The
small and scattered forces command
ed by the dying General Forbes, who
had insisted on being brought on for
the celebration of the fall of the fort,
assembled at the meeting of the wa

General Armstrong having come down
from Kittaning by hasty marching, at
which place they had fought a severe
battle with the Indians, the general
being later honored by having the
county named for him Of which Kit

Homestead entries have been maze
on some twenty million acres OF Gov
eminent land since March 4, 1913 when
the department of the interior came

Uncle Sam stll has land enough to
give away a great many farms, ana
much care is exercised TO see that II
goes TO bonafde home-seekers, Every
homestead that is given away-and
they are being given away continuous
lv-means new farm, This, OF course
means increased agricultural produc-
ton. but despite the opening OF thou
sands Of new farms every year pro-
duclion does not keep pace with the
charging population
While new farms are being estab'
lished many old ones through improper
management, are wearing out In the
older sections Of the country abandoned
farrs are numerous. Throughout the
Middle West there is an enormous
acreage of "old fields that are no
longer cultivated because they have
become unproductive. Those who cuI-
tivated these lands years ago DID not
know or care anything about soil
building. Farms were fewer then and
virgin land was more plentiful, When
the soil had been exhausted by repeated
tillage Of the same crops the field was
handed back to nature and the farmer
cleared up new tract for his agrcul-
tural operations.
1t is not so much a lack Of farms as
lack Of efficient farming that IS re-

New York Sun: Are the American
people going to confess that they lack
the self-control to use alcohol properly?
Are they going to confess that they are
in this respect lamentably inferior 10
the French and the Germans, those wise
and sober enjoyers of lifeY We don't
belivo it, we don't see these United
states as a continental alcoholic ward.
Meanwhile, good many of the rest
of us will continue to deny that even a
great deal of evil, If it exists in the
liquor business is as great an evil as
the State lying on us clumsy hands on
personal freedom-let alone the intoI-
cradle connivances, hypocrisies, cor
ruptions and "rotgut' thai are the
fruit of prohibition.

SPHERE FOR WOMAN DOCTOR
Writer'S Opinion Is That She Has
Properly Taken the Place
That Is Her Right.

They tell us now that we are the
fighting sex. Why have we been so
long? Ardent, beautiful, sweet as a
nut, with nut-brown eyes under lids
like pointed white flames, with her rip
ping wing of hair In the same sweet,
hot tones, with her tall grace and
grave glance and white, expert, sensi.
tive hands-the scientists hands
which take account of a hair-why is
she here-this mountaineering over
her tubes and TASKS and microscope
instead Of in drawing room, with
bowls of white hyacinths at her ell
bow? Why, within sixty years after
medicine is open to women, are 10000
because we are tired of ignorance in
pity?
If there were no other field for
woman doctors, unmarried mothers
would make a place in the world for
them. If there is any psychology Of
sex, or sex antagonism, or sisterhood
among women, or any of the other
things we talk of so gayly in our
search to get at the truth about men
and women, surely it is easier to look
into a woman's eyes than into a man 8
