Popular Poverty.

Katie, aged seven. was the only child
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, One day. vixen
the new minister called Katie, upon
her own invitation. went into the par
lor TO entertain him until her mother
came down stairs. AS she approached
the parlor door, Mrs. Jones heard the
minister ask Katie how many children.
her mother had, and was very much
surprised TO hear her little daughter
reply six"
Her mother wisely made no comment
upon the startling reply OF the child.
but sent her out to play, and when the
minister's visit was over she asked
Katie why she had told him that her
mother had six children, and was more
dumfounded than ever when Katie
said, Because. did not want the
strange gentleman to know that you
were so poor that you didn't have but
one child. Monthly.

An Efficiency Recipe,

Be earnest, but be calm. no matter
what happens. \ man may learn to
treble his days work by Systematically
shutting out all feeling during office
hours. What fatigucs and annoys us
is not our work, but the mental fric-
ton, nervous strain, muscular tension.
emotional wear and tear which we nj.
low to accompany our work \ real
man is always a machine while on the
Job, never machine at any other time.
Recipe for efficiency: Be a plodder by
day and IL poet by night Do your
planning, your dreaming, your resolv-
ing, when silence and solitude open the
mind for great thoughts and purposes;
then appear to the world just as an or
linary business man with nothing
unique about you to rouse the neigh
bors' Suspicions.-New York Indeyend.

The flag will be a snow white square
Of bunting on the field of which will
be blue bird representing the eagle in

The presidents flag consists of the coat
Of arms Of the nation on a blue field.
This is the first time that there has
been prescribed for the vice president
a distinctive flag to be displayed on
naval vessels while he is on board
The president, the secretaries and the
assistant secretaries Of the depart
ments Of war and the navy all have
distinctive flags. The admiralS. vice
admirals and rear admirals have dis
tinctive flags
1t remained for Secretary Daniels to
provide the vice president with a flag
His action grove out of the fact that
Mr.. Marshall is going to San Francisco
to represent President Wilson at the ex-
position. He is to be received on board
the cruiser Colorado, the flagship Of
Admiral Howard, commander in chief
Of the Atlantic fleet; hence the new
flag, which will be a permanent insutu-

INVISIBLE iCEBERGS.
Conditions Under Which They Cannot
Be Seen on Clear Nights.

/ In a recent communication to the
New York Tribune Abbott II. Thayer.
the artist. asserts that many vessels
have been lost by collisions with ice
/ bergS because under certain conditions
of sky and light they are invisible. He
cites the fact that on the occasion Of
the Titanic disaster, although the black
ship was clearly visible to survivors al
q distance Of several miles. they could
not see the white bergs against which
they actually heard the wash OF the
sea.
Mr.. Thayer claims that on clear.
starry night the b"rgS are so nearly
the same color as the sky that they are
totally invisible and that the same is
the case under many conditions Of
cI"ad:aess, the only exception being
len the side of the berg viewed is in
such shadow that it shows black
against the sky. In other words, it is
impossible to see white against white.
In answer to the criticism of those
who say they never Saw a berg al
night that was the color of the sky
the answer is that this is very natural,
because this is the very condition III
der which the berg is invisible. Mr..
Thayer makes the suggestion that u
very simple way TO avoid the danger
of cOlliding with an invisible berg
would be to use Searchlight. The re-
fectiOn would show up the berg very
plainly.

DARING ROBBERY AT IMPERIAL LAUNDRY Bandit Covers BOOkkeeper
 and Confiscates Money UNSEEN FROM STREET Robber Ran When J. o. Andrews Calls
 to Clerks in Rear for Assistance.
 Believed to Have Secured . About $2O
UNSEEN FROM STREET

As J. o. Andrews, boolSk eeper of the Imperial laundry. 2316 Fourth avenue, was balancing his accounts about 6:S0 o'clock last night he heard a quiet voice Say.
 Leave that alone I will take care of it."
 MT Andrews looked up quickly and then drew back in surprise for a large calibT~ pistol was pointed straight at him, almost touching his nose. The pis- tol was in the hands of a well dressed young man who smiled perceptibly at the apparent nervousness of the book. keeper.
 Don't get nervous said the young man with the pistol, "as I don't in- tend to shoot uNless You embsrrass me in. my work"
 Then the young man reached over and took all the ready cash in sight which the bookkeeper had been count ing when W D. Womack clerk in the laundry, who had been in the rear appeared on the scene. This did not disconcert the young man, for he merely shifted his pistol so that it GOV cred Womack and said:
 Stand by that other fellow, if you please" and then to Andrews: Don't try to shut the door of the safe as I will take care of that also. Now be good" ss
 Just then Andrews cried out to the rear of the laundry for W. H. Miller another clerk, to come out The young man with the pistol gave Andrews a : wicked look but lie pocketed his gun and ran out of the laundry. After a few moments the clerks followed in pursut.
 In reporting the case to the police last night MT. Andrews stated that he did not know how much money had been taken but that he was positive it was not over $20 However, the Sook- keeper stated that if the robber had reached the contents of the safe he would have been well repaid for his trouble.
 According to Assistant Chief T. J. Shirley, the holdup at the Imperial laundry is one of the boldest perpe- trated In Birmingham in the past sev- era1 months Several detectives were detailed to investigate the affair as an excellent description of the young man was given by the clerks.
 According to MT. Andrews the young man had beenf noticed peeping through the windows in front of the laundry for upward of a half hour previous to the holdup Finally he entered and gave over a small package of laun- dry. Andrews toolxscare of the pack : age and informed the young man that it would be ready on the morrow and resumed his work of counting up the days cash. It was then that the hold up happened. The whole incident, it was stated by the clerks, took less than a minute ands was not noticed by the large number of people passing in front of the laundry.
