Twins and a Stepmother," a new
Thanhouser comedy romance. will be a
part o. the bill at the Colonial Theater
today.
The twins loved their rather-and their
Sunday school teacher, Miss Willis. who
lived next door. Their mother had died
when they were babies-but Miss willis.
they thought, must be very much like
her, and SO they were NOT so lonely as
they might have been. Little did they
dream that their father had fallen in
love with their beloved teacher-and when
they heard that they were soon to have
stepmother they were broken-hearted.
OF course. they must run away before
the awful woman arrived-and the only
place they knew to run to was the house
next door. When they arrived, bag and
baggage. and explained to the astonished
Miss Willis the motive of their night, she
was secretly much amused. They begged
her to marry their father and SO prevent
the dreaded stepmother coming. Miss
Willis hid the children, and solemnly sent
for their father. Then, in the twins hear
ing. she told him that his little girls had
left home. and would go back to him only
on condition he married her. their loved
teacher. Lewis cleverly takes his cue and
plays up to the role expected Of him. He
gives his promise in all seriousness-the
twins rush out to embrace father and
prospective mother-and to this day they
actually believe II was themselves who
made the match.

RINK IN THE KAISER?

Pascal once made famous reflec- tion to the effect that the difference of half an inch in the length of Cleo patra's nose might have changed the history of the world.
 Now Philadelphia professor of os- teopathy puts the blame for Europe's agony on a kink in the kaiser's spine A case of osteopathic lesion, argues the doctor, producing abnormal and terrific brain activity. Nor is the kali ser's case unique:
 Napoleon was almost a hunchback.
 His great adversary, Wellington, always stood with one shoulder high CT than the other. The Greeks said Alexander was lopsided. Pericles had peculiarly shaped head and neck Archimedes walked with a terrible stoop. Who knows but this malfor- nation indicated osteopathic lesions which resulted in overstimulated brains in these and other equally ia. nous instances?"
 The idea is new. A society in Paris has for years been accommodating da ta to prove that genius, unusual ca pacity or energy are invariably at tended with asymmetry of head or face. In exceptionally brainy or act i've people the two sides of the head CT than the other, jaw off 'evel, nose or mouth deflected to one side.-Ex

crate, we get 5OO,OOO French casual ties.
 About the same number of Rus. sians as of French have been cap.
 tured by the Germans. Where 2OO,. 900 soldiers have been taken alive 300, ,00O or more must surely have been
 killed or wounded, including the East Prussian defeat, the hard Galician campaign and the battle of Warsaw.
 That makes another 5OO,OO0 for the
 grand total.
 Great Britain, having a compara, lively small force engaged, has had far smaller losses. The government
 admits 57,OOO casualties up to Mo- vember 1. For 100 days, then, the total must be 6O,00O or more. Servia must have lost no fewer than 5O,OOO in her fierce fighting against superior Austrian numbers. For Belgium the total can hardly be less than 100000.
 These figures, then, give us a lit tie more than 2,8OO,OO0 soldiers put out of business in the first 100 days of the war. It may easily be 3,000,OOO, and it certainly far exceeds that num- Der if we count those disabled from sickness.
 For the whole 1O0-day period the total is overwhelming. That great casualty list matches the total num- Der of efficient males in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Bos- ton, Tacoma, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Min neapolis, New Orleans, Pittsburg, St. Louis, San Francisco and Washing ton Imgaine all those cities depop- ulated of all the males except boys too young and men too old to carry gun or dig a trench, and you have some conception of the havoc wrought by war.
 Of course, most of the wounded will recover. A large part of them, doubt less are already back on the frins line. And the unwounded prisoners will for the most part return home safely. But it is quite bad enough. And the longer the war lasts the worse it is likely to become, for more nations are entering the Armageddon, and the fighting grows more ruthless ard destructive.-Ex.

MONDAY NOVEMBER 30, 1914.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT GOES TO
 SEA-

The official program for the formal opening of the Panama Canal, and concurrently of the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco, has been made public. Its general features have long been known, but we now have precise dates fixed for the jour- ney of the president from Washing ton by sea to San Francisco.
 It will begin at Hampton Roads on March and with pauses at the canal and at San Diego will end on March 24 This is the longest sea voyage that a president of the United States has ever undertaken. Time was when such an expedition would have caused much head-shaking on the part of constitutional hair-splitters. We have largely got over that sort of thing.
 It is stated that seventeen American take part in the naval parade from Hampton Roads as far as Colon at least. It is not yet stated what na- tions will be represented. Unless the naval situation of the European war greatly changes it is to be feared that the German and Austrian flags will be rather conspicuous by their ab sence. Should it greatly change the British, French and Russian flags may be equally conspicuous.
 Of course it may be that the war will be over by that time, or may at least have reached the armistice and peace conference stage. While we may not expect this we may still hope it. Then what a glorious celebration the formal opening of the Panama Canal would be! It would celebrate the successful completion of the greatest single work of peaceful industry in human history and the return to peace of warning nations after the worlds greatest war. That might happen when the president of the United States goes to sea to certify the linking of the oceans. Let us all hope and pray that it will!-Ex

SCRAPS AND A DINNER.

A French Chefs Feat With Food That Had Been Discarded.
 A year or two ago was chef in country gentleman's household in Eng land. The morning after my arrival looked around the kitchen garden, and in the dust bin that stood in the back yard l saw a mixture of food that could have been turned into first class dinner.
 In about four quarts of milk that had turned sour were swimming stale half loaves. drumsticks of fowls, old ham bones, cold boiled potatoes. trim mings of dough made for piecrusts, cracked eggs. some old codfish and some spoiled macaroni.
 Next day l found second consfgn- ment, very similar. about to be carried away and thrown out. l stopped this lot. sorted it out and. with the help of a little stock. half dozen eggs and a hare that had been shot on the es- tate, served a seven course dinner for a family of ten that night, and the master of the household called me up and complimented me before the whole family on the best dinner they had had for year.
 ~Afterward his wife sent for me and told me that. though pleased with the dinner, she feared had been too ex- travagant and said that her rule was not to allow more than shillings per head in housekeeping. It was a se- were shock to her to hear I had fed the family on the sins of the cook that had left the day before, the cost being not over ninepence per head.--From an Interview With French Chef in Ma tional Food Magazine,

The Market In Cauls,

We believe that there is still some market for cauls among sailors. who retain their belief in the efficacy of the membranes as protection against shipwreck and drowning. Notices of 'Cauls For Sale Within were to be seen recently in windows in the vicin- ity of the docks of both London and Liverpool, but it is some time since we have noticed an advertisement of a cauI for sale in the daily press. It may be remarked that the sale of cauls, so far from being very ancient custom. is comparatively modern innovation. The witchcraft of the middle ages de- clared against the caul retaining any virtue whatever If parted with by gift or sale to any but member of the child's skindred-London Lancet

PERSIAN GULF PEARLS.
The Divers Arc Practically Slaves of tho Boat Masters.

The Divers Arc Practically Slaves of tho Boat Masters.
 Bombay, noted for its pearl markets, is not a pearl producer, though the gems are bought there for shipment to all parts of the world. The pearls sold in Bombay come from the Bahrein islands. a small archipelago on the western side of the Persian gulf, which, although adjacent to territory under the control of Turkey, is gov erned by an independent sheik under special British protection, the British government maintaining political agent there.
 Of this group of islands only those of Bahrein and Maharak are of any size. Their importance, however. is out of all proportion to their extent. for they are the great center of the Persian gulf pearl fisheries, which are Nhe worlds chief source of supply for pearls. The sheik of Bahrein is said to nave a customs revenue amount ing to about $4OOOO0 per year, which makes him the richest ruler in the Persian gulf. The pearls fisheries un- der his control may in good year bring to his islands as much as $2,- 5OO.OOO.
 It is difficult for newcomers to ob- tain the services of good divers owing to the system in vogue, which prac- tically makes this class of men slaves to the masters of the pearling boats The mems earnings in the majority of cases are insufficient to keep them all the year round. and consequently they take advances from their masters year after year to such an extent that they can never repay their debt. When diver elects to engage himself to an- other boat the owner of the latter has to pay up the debt due to the former master should he engage him.-Argo- naut
