THE LONESOME HEART"
This Play Will be Presented at the
Majestic Tomorrow "Wednesday

When James Stuart laid the little
baby girl on the porch Of the county
orphan asylum, he little thought that
Sara Prue, the superintendent, had OBJ
served every movement. Neither was
he aware that the child's real name,
Dorothy Loomis, was embroidered on
the shawl in which she was wrapped,
and consequently that anyone would
ever know that onehalf of his wealth
belonged to the infant, whom his part
ner, Dorothys father, had left in his
care. The child, who became known
as Samanthy at the orphanage, grew
up into a dreamy romantic girl. One
day after being punished by Sara Prue
for spending too much time reading
foolish love stories, she ran away and
was found by George Stuart, son of
James, who was hunting in the woods
The child's sad story appealed to the
young man and he took her to the
home of his old nurse. Later on when
he decided to adopt the girl, his father
opposed the plan, and Samanthy, her
dream shattered, returned to the or
phanage. George, however, had fallen
in love with Samanthy and followed
her. At the asylum he found his faith
er in conversation with Sara Prue who
was using her knowledge of Saman-
thy's identity to extort money from
him. So, to ease his conscience, he
told Samanthy she was an heiress,
and new life dawned for the hither-
to lonesome heart"

NUTS GATHERED BY
GERMAN CHILDREN

BERLIN, Oct. 10.-In further.
ance of the suggestion that school
children assist in conserving the a
tional resources by a systematic col
lection of acOrns, horse chestnuts
and other nuts that ordinarily go to
waste for the sake of the oils they
contain, the Prussian minister OF
agriculture has just issued a long
and minute list of instructions and
advice.
This includes a detailed account OF
the methods to be employed in pre-
supply has been collected. The uses
to which each variety of nut can
lie put as food for animals. The
percentage of alubuminous and oily
contents of each variety and final
r.. tie market for the nuts ard the
prices that rule in it.
This market is the newly formed
war commission for plant and animal
oils and fats, located in Berlin. Pro-
vided one works assiduously enough
in collecting nuts there is a tidy
bit of pocket money in the labor
for the commission offers As marks
for 100 kilOgram of beech nuts, SIS
marks for 100 Kilograms of dried
beech nuts. and 140 marks for as
many bass nut seed. Dried acOrns
bring 10 marks per 100 Kilograms.
crushed acrOns 80 marks; dried and
shelled acorns "A marks; dried horse
chestnuts 10 marks. and crushed and
dried horse chestnuts 2S marks.

WILL PREVENT PEERA('ES
FROM BECOMING EXTINCT

LONDON, Oct. 10.-Means are to
be adopted to prevent peerages
from becoming extinct in cases
where the male heir has given his
life to his country. In the ordinary
course succession to a peerage IS
limited to direct male descendants
of the last or of a former holder OF
the title, daughters being excluded
But by special remainder as the
provision is called, the nearest Oh
other male relatives will now be CIV
en- the title.
There are now as least 200 hetrS
to peerages in the army and navy
and a number have already fallen
Titles are allowed to descent by the
female line by special remainder IN
a number of existing cases. notably
in the case of Lord Roberts, whose
only male heir was killed in the
Roer war. OF course there are no
lack of direct male heirs of former
title holders in case of the historic
reerages. but the recently bestowed
| titles lack this advantage. Lora
; Kitchener's heir is, by special re-
mainder, his elder brother Col ii
f. c. Kitchener. Lord Stratchcona s
title passed to his daughter, TIE
Baroness Strathcona.

EXTRACTING NITROGEN
Fro THE ATMOSPHERE

BERLIN, Oct. 10.-German farm
ers will continue to feed the coun-
try without the aid of oversee i'm
ports, in the opinion of Prof. Ger
ZACH, an authority in agricultural
chemistry. Speaking before the
German agricultural society at it's
yearly meeting at Berlin he gave do
tails showing to what extent in 1914
and 1915 the yields of crops was
increased by using sulphate of am
monia and cyanamide, a combine
ton of atmospheric nitrogen with
calcium, as fertilizers. In these
fertilizers, he says. German farmers
have a fully satisfactory substitute
for the nitrate of soda which they
had been importing to the mount or
about 500. 900 tons a year.
Prof. Gerlach regards the new
industry of extracting nitrogen from
the atmosphere as of great promise
for the future of the German food
supply. He said that the factories
for it's recovery, mostly begun since
the outbreak of the var, are no"
finished or nearing completion, and
that when they are all in operation
they will produce yearly an equiva-
lent of 10000 tons of pure nitro
gen or already considerably nor
than half of what was formerly i'm
ported. A considerable proportion
of this is O being used by the mil
itary authorities for making ammu-
milton but will, after the war DO
available for fertilizing purposes.
Pending the increase of the out
nut till all kinds of crops can be
fortified with cyanide, Prof. Ger
ZACH advises that it be used mainly
for increasing the grain yield; pota-
toes. the largest crop by far pro-
duce1 in Germany. can do very Wen
without a fertilizer. as is proved
by the splendid crop of this year

RAINY SEASON AID
TO RUSS SOLDIERS

PETROGRAD, Oct. 4.-The early
and persistent rainy season over the
greater part of the fighting front is
taken by the Russian peasants as a
sign that the text inscribed on the
regimental standards, God is on our
side" is not misplaced. The Russian
place great faith in the defensive
merits of his rainy season espec-
tally in the marshy sections, where
intimate knowledge of the boys will
enable local guerrilla bands, under
the skilled leadership of picked
Cossack daredevils, to keep up a
continual harassment of the German
: tanks and rear.
The local %peasantry alone is fa-
miliar with the shifts and tricks of
the marsh lands, especially in tho
treacherous Pinsk district, for there
according to the rainfall. A case has
already been reported from this dis
trict in which a German column was
'cunningly surrounded by a small,
force of guerrillas, who crept by
secret ways across the swamps and
raised an alarm on all sides at once.
The enemy, seized with panic. en-
d~eavored to find a way out and the
whole column disappeared in the
treacherous morass which seemed a
POSSIBLE road to safety from the I'M
known strength of the attackers.
1t is still somewhat early for the
appearance of the guerrillas, whose
best opportunity will come when the
snow obliterates the landscape for
all save the native born.

SPANISH LANGUAGE
TO REPLACE GERMAN

LONDON, Oct. 1O.-The educatl-
al authorities in London are con-
sidering the substitution of Spanish
for German as a second language in
schools and public examinations. The
advantage of Spanish over German
is thus stated by one of the advo-
Gates of the change:
We do not want German trade, but
we do want South American trade
The Germans have made great prog
ress there but the war has halted
them for the time being. so that the
field is open to Great Britain if we
can speak the language.
Spanish is easier to learn than
German. 1t can be taught very
quickly to a student of French,
which is the first language in all
English schools.
German is of little use outside of
Germany, whereas Spanish is spoken
over a very considerable part of the
world.
The teaching of Spanish is being
encouraged in the United States
with a view to that country cap
Germany's trade. Great Brit
ain wants a share in that trade.
