WAR KILLS MAN IN IOWA.
Homssick Russian Jumps From Oss
Moinss River Bridge to Death.

Homssick Russian Jumps From Dee
Moinss River Bridge to Death.
Des Moines, March S-After con-
ference Councilman Mitchell and Chief
Of Police Crawford decided that eff
forts to recover the body Of Emanuel
Markin, the young Russian Pole who
committed suicide by jumping of the
Walnut street bridge, would be futile.
The river 10 running swiftly at an av-
erage depth OF from twelve to fifteen
feet under the bridge and grab hooks
could not be used.
Fred White, 1416 Woodland avenue;
Charles Dixon, 612 South East Seventh
street, and Ralph Davenport were on
tine walnut street Drluge Wnen they
saw the young man remove his over
coat and hat. He quickly mounted the
railing and dropped into the swirling
current.
Mrs. Samuel Levinso, 644 Twentieth
street, cousin Of the victim, appeared
at the police station this morning to
look over the few personal effects left
by the man. There Is no word in his
papers and letters to indicate that he
had contemplated taking his own life.
The overcoat and hat We're Of fine
quality. In the pockets were found
many post cards from the war zone in
Russian Poland. Among them over
cards written in Hebrew, in Russian
and Polish.
Markin spoke seven languages and
was highly educated The letter written
yesterday was in Polish. It was long
one and told Of how homesick the
writer was in this far away land. He
longed to hear good news from MEM
bers of his family who were living in
the war zone and from whom he had
heard but little for several months.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Markin. parents
OF the lad, and one brother and one
sister reside in Warsaw. The father
is wealthy merchant. Emanuel came
to this country last May after receiv-
ing an invitation from Mrs. Levinson,
his cousin, to make his home in Des
Moines.
The young man had just past his
goth birthday and determined to come
to America for the experience. He
reached Des Moines after travelling as
a first class passenger and with ample
funds as one in his position naturally
would possess. He learned English
and tried to get work He planned to
go on a farm near Norwalk. But his
failure to hear from Warsaw and his
dependency in the fact Of lack Of
funds undoubtedly led to the suicide.

Making Big Guns

From the Chicago Journal
 A fascinating sight is to watch the first stages in the manufacture of the big guns which arc proving so devastating in the war A solid ingot of steel. some 50 feet in length and weighing about 100 tons is employed in the making of a 13- inch gun. After being forged and then allowed to cool so that it may be tough ened for the heavy work, this gigantic bar of steel is pressed into cylindrical shape by power hydraulic press. which ex- erts pressure of anything between 5000 and 10000 tons to the square inch. Later what is known as the trepanning opera tion is carried out. namely, drilling the bore from end to end. Next the bore is rifiled.
 The most impressive sight, however, is the hardening process. when the rough weapon is heated to dazzling white heat and plunged into a well full of oil. If the operation takes place in the night time the sight of this big, glowing bar of metal being lowered apparently into the bowels of the earth issuing leaping tongues of flames from the burning oil may be likened to a scene from Dante s Inferno. The gun is left to cool in the oil bath, out of which it comes hard ened, toughened and tempered.
 Now follows the whirl- winding operation to make the weapon stronger and impart to it some measure of elasticity. This wise winding Is much the same in principle as the wrapping on the handle of a criclS- ct bat. In this case, however, the whip ping takes the form of a strong steel rib bon. which is wound around the body of the gun. Every 13-inch gun has about 120 miles of this steel ribbon wound about
 it. Some idea of the labor involved in the manufacture of one of these guns may be gathered from the fact that from start to finish the time occupied is 12 months.

An acquaintance of mine has a slouth- hounds nose for things that are ''wrong. !" He appears to imagine he has a heaven sent mission to point whats wrong out to people That's the way to get them set right isn't it?
 The other day, having run mile and a half to a railway station to catch cer- tain train, and having arrived there in such a breathless state that he had hard ly gasp left in which to ask for his ticket. he was struck still more speeches. on being informed that the next train to the place he was going to would not start for % minutes. Monstrous. He made him. self as uncomfortable as he could in the waiting room and settled down to write a letter to the newspapers upon ''the dis organization of our railways Here was he, a business man, making hard strug- gle to pay his way in these hard times. and railway treated him like this! They took off train-the one he tried to catch and gave him no notice. Suppose they treated a million business men in the same way each day, it meant the loss to the community of 25,OO0000 minutes a day, He got so mixed up in calculating how many days, weeks, months and years 25,000,000 minutes came to that he missed the next train. However, he had got a really nice letter written at last. He showed it to me that evening befores he posted it.
 Sure there is train at that time you expected one?" I aNked him. He gave a snort of disguest and diving into packet brougth out the time table and requested me to believe my own eyes! Yes, there was the train sure enough.
 But the time table was for Hast month";
 The enthusiastic fault-flnder is one of the most pessimistic persons possible. He is only concerned with what is .done wrong"-and in the vast number of eases he is, when you find out things himself the person responsible for the disaster. He is the man who loses all his collars in the wash and never thinks 1t necessary to have a collar marked before it is sent to the laundry
 Sir Frank Lockwood knew a man of that kind. His great grievance was that, although he paid taxes, he could get no kind of police protection for his prem ises. How was it, he asked. that his house had been entered by burglars three times in F months? Was not the reason clear? Could anyone doubt that the police were in partnership with the criminals? Abom- inable! When Lockwood wanted to know how it was he was so specially selected as a victim, the indignant gentleman as- sured him he had no doubt thousands of other persons suffered in the same man. ner. but they took things lying down. didn't trouble. 1t would be most ridiculous to think he was 'the only one" In the end Lockwood discovered that the gentle man had an unfortunate habit of arriv- ing home at a most irregular hour in the morning. and in a condition in which he was perfectly oblivious to the desirability

life. For even then there may be ex- tenuation and excuse for follies caused by life at overtowering high tide. But as we pass down the mount of life into the sunset, what is the mitigating cir- cumstance there? That the glow of the sunset is in our eyes? That we fear the shadows that lie beyond and seek once more to wrest a full grown joy from life? Perhaps. but is that enough? Enough to tarnish that snowy crown that takes the place of the rosy garland of youth on a woman's brow?
 The man who drained the woman of her fortune on the pretense of loving her and desiring when times were bet ter' with him to wed her, is married. Still that the snowy crown may be less tarnished it is claimed that she did not Lnow this fact. That at the worst she was foolish. So foolish indeed that her reiatives tried to have her committed to an insane asylum. An effort in which they were unsuccessful, for, as the judge said. she is not insane but only un- wise.
 Yet to what depths of public shame may unwisdom fling us? Women of today fear the recession from the old reign of sentiment. They fear that In the pres ent tendency to let the brain sit aloft and rule they will become cold-eyed Maybe, but isn't that better than to be scft-headed? Better to wear judicia frown than a fool cap?
