Taking Up Italian,

Now that German is being ousted
from the curriculum of some of Eng
lands secondary schools, possibly
Italian may be inserted in its place.
Such an alteration would have been
cordially welcomed by Gladstone. "a
favorite topic with Mr.. Gladstone"
writes the present head master Of
Elton, twas the preference in English
education Of German to Italian. He
used to deplore it, saying that when
lie read Dante he felt that he was in
the hands of a master, but that the
Germans had produced no first-rate
literature. Sometimes his interlocu.
tor would object that Goethe was
1rst-rate writer. The rejoinder was
Certainly not. Goethe created a
world without any conception of
duty Sometimes a discussion would
arise on this point, but I never heard
that it reached any conclusion."-

NOVEL MOVIE" USES
Films to Be Employed in Educa-
tiOnaI Work.
Great Railroad Will Use Them to
Show Result Of Workman's Care
lessness-Hope to Get Scenes
Showing Wars Horrors.

The New York Central railroad has
had a moving picture play" construct
ed around the story of trainman's
carelessness which resulted in an &C
cident in which he was injured, and
his family left needy. 1t has been
carted around the great system and
shown to employees, on whom it made
a great impression. Other roads are
going to borrow the films and carry
the show over their lines, as a means
of intoxicating the solid principles and
lessons Of the safety first campaign.
1t is announced that a series of
moving picture shows will be provided
at the Panama-Pacific exposition in
San Francisco, to illustrate work of
the government departments. The de-
partment Of agriculture has for some
time been doing experimental work,
looking to the extensive use of moving
pictures to educate farmers, chicken
raisers, dairymen, and others, in prop
er methods. The public health service
work is especially susceptible to this
kind of presentation in the effort to
educate the public.
Commercial concerns have been
studying the publicity possibilities Of
the films for long time, and they
are using them in some ways; but
their use for pure commercial adver-
Using has not thus far been made
very effective 1t is in the realm of
educational effort that they carry
their lesson most effectively.
If somebody has been able, or shall
have been able before the war ends,
to get some properly impressive films
of war scenes, the movies" will give
the world it's most striking demon
strations of the desirability of peace
and the horrors of war.

FOUND CHAMPION MEAN MAN
Walter Long, One of the Best-known
Leading "Heavies," Administers
Rebuke That Must Have Stunq.

Walter Long, one of the leading
"heavies'' with the Reliance and Ma
jestic Mutual organizations, believes
that he is the discoverer of the stingi-
est man in the world.
Long is powerful swimmer At
the beginning of the summer season
he was named as one of the NUM-
cipal life guards at Ocean park, work
ing on Sundays and holidays when
the crowds at the beach were the
largest.
A swimmer who went out beyond
the breaker line became caught in a
rip tide and shouted for help. Long
went to his assistance, and, after a
hard struggle with the big breakers,
succeeded in bringing the near drown
ing man ashore. where he was revived.
A short time later the rescued man,
nattily dressed in his street clothes
and wearing a big diamond, appeared
and thanked Long for saving his life.
Here, have good cigar on me-" said
the rescued individual as he proffered
Long dime. Long was on his way to
purchase a sandwich and had a five
cent piece in his hand.
He accepted the proffered ten cents
and returned the nickel with the state
ment, Here is your change" The
man whom Long rescued accepted the
five cents and then beat hasty re-
treat. Long has nailed the dime to
the wall of his dressing room as a
memento of the occasion.

Comedian Sid Smith.
''Well, I may not be so much, but
I am open to proposition" said
Smith, who can fall off the break

to shore in an ocean storm.
These proved fighting words, and
the wager was arranged on the spot
to the effect that Sid could not'swim

ancient joke with natives, but many
newcomers bite" After the money
was up the crowd adjourned to the

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar of
Resinol Ointment and cake of Resi-
mol Soap. With the Resinol Soap and
warm water battle the affected parts
thoroughly, until they are free from
crusts and the skin is softened. Dry
very gently, spread on thin layer of
the Resinol Ointment, and cover with
a light bandage. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-(Advt.)
