Curfew Ordinance Passed
The curfew ordinance was passed

REALLY OF LITTLE SERVICE
HydroaeropIane Not Likely to Be
Developed, Is the Opinion of Men
Who Should Know.

There seems some reason for believ-
ing that the hydroaeroplane, that is,
the aeroplane carrying a boat or float
beneath it for alighting on the water,
was a development in the wrong direc-
ton. In the first place, such machines
cannot be made seaworthy. Even now
the aeroplane flies in winds that keep
smaller water-borne craft shut up in
port-winds kicking up such sea that
alighting on it would be difficult if not
impossible. Secondly, the aeroplane
is steadily increasing it's radius Of
action, and if past growth is any
criterion, will eventually be able to
traverse even the Atlantic in single
flight. The use of duplicate engines will
greatly minimize the danger of forced
alighting, and the time should not be
far distant when the accidents of the
past due to structural weakness under
sudden strains will be as rare as they
have been common
Finally, the use of a mother ship"
that is, marine platform for launch
ing and receiving again from the air
the aeroplane scouts of the feet at
sea, seems a more feasible means of
solving this problem than that of fast
ening an alighting boat to each plane.

DISCOVERY OF GREAT VALUE
New York Physician Claims to Have

DR.. Clarence Webster of the staff

tai says he believes his new discovery,
which is a safer substitute for twi-
light sleep and an anesthetic, is of
great Importance in the medical
world, but he is not quite ready to
give his knowledge to the public.
'When l think the proper time

that the best way"
"Is your anesthetic given hypoder-
mically?' he was asked.

is inhaled"
"Do you consider it far superior
to chloroform or ether or any combi-
nation of the two?"
ooh, yes. We hope and think that
we have made very important dis
covery. We have been working with
it at the Presbyterian hospital for
about six months-but we are not
ready to announce anything just
yet"
els any special apparatus required
for its use?"
''Not at all. 1t can be given in the
course of general practice and the
patient need not even be taken to
hospital"
No one at the Presbyterian hospi-
tai has been given Doctor Webster's
secret, at least they say they haven't.

CLEANING Day.

A practical joke which was played
in small town created lots of fun and
some Indignation. A joker notified
many of the housewives that on GER
tain morning the telephone company
was going to blow the dust out of the
phones and from the wires. They were
told to tie cloths over the phone to
prevent the dust running wall paper,
furniture and pictures. Some of the
phones were kept closely tied for an
hour or two and others were under
the rags for half day, or at least
until they found by making inquiries
of central that the joke was on them.

leave town for a day or two to escape
the righteous indignation of women
who were fooled.-Cincinnati Conner

double-barreled name. He was very

in clubbing him "Muggins."

and went straight to his chief before
whom he made long and indignant
complaint.

ONLY TRANSMITTED BY MILK
Man Cannot Get Foot-and-Mo Dis
ease by Eating Meat, Declares
Doctor

That the foot-and-mouth disease can
not be transmitted to human beings
by eating the flesh of diseased ami
mails, but can be contracted by drink
ing unboiled milk or butter made
from the milk of an infected COW,
is the statement made by DR.. e. j.
Danek of Chicago. who has studied
the disease.
THE symptoms in man." he says,
"are as follows: There is fever; this
is usually low, but may reach as high
as 104. 1t may be accompanied with
chill, loss of appetite, pain in mus
cles, back and head, with cramplike
pain in the abdomen Nausea and
vomiting are common. The primary
seat of infection is the mouth The
disease when uncomplicated is mild
It's average duration is two weeks
from the onset. Severe cases may
last six to eight weeks
This disease is transmissible to
man through unboiled milk or butter
and cheese and also directly from the
saliva or contents of the vesicles of
infected animals gaining entrance
through abrasons of the skin It is
especially frequent in children and in
those whose work brings them in con-
tact with diseased COWS. 1t appears
that this disease cannot be trans
mitted by eating the flesh of infected
animals"

SITUATION TEMPERED

storff's Call on Bryan

storff's Call on Bryan
German Ambassador Won Bernstorf
called on Secretary Bryan and ex-
pressed deep regret that the events
OF the war had led to the loss of so
many American lives"
After half hours conference be-
tween Bernstorff and Bryan, the state
ment was made by mutual agreement,
given out by the secretary:
The German ambassador called at
the state department and expressed
his deep regret that the events of the
war had led to the loss of so many
American lives
One point seems settled for the ad-
ministration in connection with the
Lusitania case:
Germany evidently is not seeking to
provoke trouble with the United
States. Fears were expressed at first
that the kaiser would assume. a
naughty or at least Indifferent atti-
tude concerning the death of Ameri-
cans en- the liner.
Officialdom does not pretend that
this eliminates the difficulties ahead,
but it is agreed that it opens the way

HOPES TO AVOID WAR
America viii Set Peace Example to
the World. Says President

the World, Says President
President Wilson gave to a gather
ing of 1000 naturalized Americans at
Philadelphia the first intimation of the
course which the United States gov
eminent probably will pursue in the
situation resulting from the loss OF
more than 100 lives on the British
liner Lusitania.
He spoke by implication, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
meaning that, while the United States
would remain at peace, it would seek
to convince Germany of the injustice
to mankind of the tragedy of last Fri
day.
America, said the president,
must have the consciousness that
on all sides it touches elbow and
touches heart with all the nations or
mankind. The example of America
must be a special example, and must
be an example not merely OF peace
because it will not fight, but because
peace is a healing and elevating in
fiuence of the world and strife is not.
There is such a thing as a man
being too proud to fight. There is
such a thing as being so right that it
does not need to convince others by
force that it is right.
These remarks precipitated a tu-
multi of applause and patriotic en-
thusiasm, ending by the waving OF
thousands of small American flags.

COMING LATE TO DINNER
Really Form of Egotism, According

why do some people always come

Coming late to dinner said Mr..
Depew, sis a form of egotism 1t is a

will be an event With some people
it is sort of advertisement of having
remembered only when it was too late
to get ready in time, because of such
multitude of engagements.
MANY years ago one prominent lady
was always late for dinner. Her ex-
cuses were innumerable, and always
occupied the attention of the whole
room, like a speech before dinner. l
sent her an invitation to one of my
dinners, fixing the time half an hour
before the hour named for the other
invited guests. Consequently she was
not the last to arrive, and did not keep
the company waiting. She never for
gave M.

be said to have come into its own

gate of the Priory of st. John of Jeru-

of which were pulled down to supply
material for the erection of the palace
of the Protector Somerset. After its
conversion into an inn it was partially

the priory was also sacked by Henry
