of excellent quality, but of poor design.
1t was in vain that he cut the price on
them; the trade refused to buy, and at
length he became desperate. He nicked
out six N G.. customers, who, under or
binary circumstances, were not to be trust
ed with G. O. D. delivery, unless the ex-
pressman passed over the package with
one hand and received the cash with the
other. To each Of these he shipped thir-
teen pieces of the woolens, accompanied
by letter stating that the goods were
cheap and Of splendid quality. He called
attention to their extremely low price and
enclosed bill for twelve pieces only.
Rabinowitz reckoned that, when each
of the customers received the thirteen
pieces of goods and bill for only twelve,
they would see a chance to profit at his
expense, and they would, therefore, keep
the goods and remit the amount of the
bill However, it was what Professor
James would call bum psychology, for, as
one man, the six customers pursued the same
course of action. They each wrote let
ter to Rabinowitz, telling him they were
sorry that they were unable to buy the
dozen pieces of goods he had shipped them,
and the next day they returned only
twelve of the thirteen packages. The
remaining one they kept, together with
Rabinowitz's own bill, which they filed
away for future reference.
Also! The three Potash & Perlmutter
stories went the rounds of the magazines
and were much too radical for acceptance
by the editors, for most editors are con-
servative buyers, and mistrust new styles
Of stories At length I sold two of them
to magazine proprietor out in Detroit
Mich. and he promptly "busted up" on
me- His magazine continued under new
management, however, and after CORES
pondence which babe fair to eat up all
the profits in postage stamps the new pro-
prietor compromised for ridiculously low
figure The third story appeared in the
"Scrap Book - and the fourth in "Mun-
sey's' Then came ''Taking it Easy"
in the Saturday Evening Post,' fol-
lowed by "The Arverne Sacque,' and
with that the season opened.
Whatever popularity these stories have
attained is due to the wide circulation Of
the "Post,'' and it gives me pleasure,
Gentlemen, could assure you" to make
this acknowledgment to it's editors and

FAITH AND SINCERITY OF
MOTHER NEEDED.

The American Hebrew addressed number
of ladies known to be interested IN the SUD,
ject 1.-The Religious Education of the Child"
asking their opinion as to the best means by
which this education could be best directed
by Jewish mothers. Among those SO ad-
intendent of the Associated Jewish Charities
of Minneapolis who has been well known e tya
Of he repK o a
follows:
Your request to send the material for
your symposium four days after receipt OF
your letter implies that we may have some
remedy ready to hand warranted to meet
all requirements. Not so.
1t so happens that just at present there
are many forces that will help to infuse
the spirit of Judaism into the adults, and
indirectly, at least, into the children.
Our first conclusion is that the children
Of plastic age come from homes whose
mothers are themselves more or less es-
tranged from the traditional customs which
formed so large part Of the religious
life.
Our sober second thought is that large,
very large proportion you, Mr..
Editor, our statistician, can give us some
idea as to the fgures-are Of foreign-born
parentage, still practicing customs COM
monty believed to effect this spiritual bond
in the home. Internationally we probably
hold American Jewry more particularly re-
sponsible for the lapse.
Religious instruction will probably not
be reintroduced into the home on any
large scale.
Rather there will be continuous efforts
made to improve the Sabbath Schools,
for which purpose must be enlisted the
services Of the great educational psycholo-
gists, who have done so much for the
study of the individual child, and for
the secular school.
If they have not faith in the Sabbath
School as an agent in religious and moral
education, the mothers cooperation will
not help much. But just as the Mothers
Clubs and Parent Teachers Associations
have stimulated all concerned, so would
Sabbath Schools react to intelligently di-
rected help on this score. Insight and
sympathy, clearer understanding Of the
problems, purposes and sphere Of the school
might be the result.
In the home religious practice cannot be
successfully reintroduced until the parents
desire it sincerely. Not all the seven
branched candlesticks from the curio shops
will make one real HOLIDAY.
But whoever can vitalize those wonder
full concepts of ancient days, whoever can
convincingly show that they are our herit
age and our gift, he will be the educational
reformer Of the Sabbath School. He will
need the services Of women in home and
school, as did Froebel in his plan.
A people to whom the ignOramus-the
Am Ho 'orez-was contemptible-a people
to whom knowledge was informed with
spirit, and was consecrated to righteous
ness, has merely transferred much of this
feeling to social service.
Today we are, we must be stirred by
events such as we thought belonged only to
dead and gone past and we are bound

"Did none of the talk come to your

neral one of the cousins began to
speak Of mystery, and Mr.. Blair shut
him Off"
"Your necklace was taken from that
body"
Her eyes grew wide. "Was she the
theft" she asked eagerly.
1.-THE person who took the necklace
from the body is the one for whom
am searching. Now, Mrs. Blair, will
you tell me in a word how your hus-
band met his death? Your father-in-
law gave you to understand, did he
not, that Wilfrid Blair met and quar-
relied with-with certain person and
was killed in the encounter which fol-

How shall l ever free myself from
the consciousness of my own part in
it?" she shuddered. "Don't-don't speak
Of it again. / can't bear it,
you won't have to very long," Kent
assured her. LET us get back to the
jewels. You would be willing to make
considerable sacrifice to recover
them?' So

this man?"
Drawing newspaper page from his
pocket, Kent indicated an advertise

"They were valuable, these jewels 2
'Fhe rings were, intrinsicaliy, but
what most valued was the necklace
Of rose topazes. They were the Gros-
venor tOpazes."
"A family relic?''
"Not my own family. My husbands
mother left them to me. They came
down to her from her grandmother.
Camilla Grosvenor. She was rather
famous person in her time. G. L. Ell
lott painted heroine of his finest por-
traits, l believe. And-and she was
remarkable in other respects. She was
a woman of great force of character
and great personal attraction, l be-
lieve, though she was not exactly beau
tful. When she was still under thirty
she became the leader Of band Of
mystics and star worshipers. believe
that she became infatuated with one
Of them, young German, and that
there was an elopement by water. This
remember, at least-her body washed
ashore on the coast not very far from
Hedgerow house."

me. For my husband it had an uncan-
ny fascination. He used to talk to me
about the place."

Ia GrOSvenOrr
"Of course. The Elliott portrait
hangs In the library at Hedgerow
house."
Kent took from under his coat the
drawing purchased from Elder bennett.
"That is the same" said Mrs. Blair
unhesitatingly. ut isn't quite the
same pose as the finished portrait, and
it lacks the earring which is in the
portrait. But should say it is surely
Elliott's work. Couldn't it be a pre-
urinary sketch for the portrait?'
probably that is what it is"
"Can you tell me where it came
from?"
"From between the pages of an old
book. Tell me how your necklace was
lost, please"
II don't know. On the afternoon of
July l left Hedgerow house rather
hurriedly. My maid, whom trust i'm
plicitly, was to follow with my trunks,
including my jewel case. She arrived
a day later, with part of the jewels
missing, and note from Father Blair
saying that there had been robbery,
| but that l was to say nothing Of it."

Manager Boyle Wires Rumor Three
Players Released Is Not True
-Penner at Burlington.

Rumors in circulation here today to
the effect that three members of the
Keokuk baseball team had been re-
leased were discredited by Manager
Boyle. The following telegram from
Manager Boyle was received by The
Gate City this afternoon: Nothing
to rurnor about change in players.
Harvey Joined us yesterday and Pen
ner is in Burlington taking treatment
for sore arm"
Penner's injury is the one he re-
ceived here in the last series played
at home when he was forced to quit
in the middle Of game when his
shoulder muscles were strained. He
has been unable to work since that
time but has been with the club until
yesterday when Manager Boyle sent
him ahead of the club to Burlington
where he now is receiving treatment
It is hoped that Penrer will be in con-
dition to work in the games with Bur
lington. Harvey has not yet fully re-
covered from his injury, a. strained
tendon in his ankle, but he worked
in part of the game yesterday at
Waterloo.

DjetastefuI Methods.

Hopkinton Leader: 1t has been gen.
orally accepted that Lieutenant GOV
ernor Harding will be a candidate, but
whether he has it in mind or not
there is no doubt OF the effort to side
track him and make his running an
impossibility. 1t may not be too early
to discuss probabilities for next year,
but It is assuming too much authority
over the mass OF voters to forestall
possible popular choice Of candidates.
The methods used to pocket Harding
and put him ont of the race are dis
tasteful to those who have sense OF
fairness, and it is obnoxious to the
primary principle. Those who assume
that the mass of Iowa republicans
will always submit to having their
candidates handpicked and put up in
packages are likely sometime to get
a meritorious jolt. Iowa ought to elect
it's governors and other officers for
their ability and observation-disclosures and
not at the behest of political intrf-
guers

decided that this process BE- adopted.
Even after the Eastland is forced
back to the upright position, the exact
number of dead may not be known.
Work as they did risking life in the
efforts, dredgers and divers had re-
covered only five bodies today since
resuming their sickening task at 7:30
after a brief respite, after forty-three
hours of ceaseless toll. These men
reported scores upon scores OF bodies
still jammed in state rooms, on COM
panion ways and between decks. They
were still working late this afternoon
on tearing out Of heavy steel wire
gate that held what was computed at
fifty or more bodies tightly held in
the stern Of the ball room deck. These
bodies are all that are expected to be
removed until the hull is raised.
Upon completion of this task ten
days hence, heavy charges of dyna-
mite will be dropped to tho river bot
tom and there discharged to shake off
tina clutch of mud and debris that is
believed to still hold the bodies OF
many victims.
While the hunt for more dead was
thus planned, the hunt for the respon-
s,ble alive took definite shape. The
coroner's inquest finally was set to
convene tomorrow morning. One hun
dred or more witnesses told the
states attorney their stories, while
the federal district attorney was
rounding up a specially summoned
grand jury.
Among those who talked with the
states attorney today were members
Of the Eastland crew. AS soon as
each had been heard he was taken
secretly to an outlying precinct to be
held for later questioning.

the Narew success at time when
doubt must have begun to prevail at
Berlin concerning the success of the
present operations. About thirty miles
separate the Germans along the
Narew from Warsaw. This is twice
the distance ebetween the Polish CAPT
tai and the German army which for
so long has been held in idleness
directly to the west.
Since the Slavs have been able to
save Warsaw from besiegers only fif-
teen miles away, there remains the
possibility that the Nanew triumph
may likewise be halted before 1t
reaches the German goal. 4
If the Germans reach the Bug from
the direction Of Narew the Slavs must
begin their preliminary retirement
from Warsaw The Narew-Bug opera
tions, therefore, are the dominant
ones, for the movement and they may
decide Warsaw's fate.

NEW YORK, July 26.-All interest
converged again today on the group
of industrial stocks which have been
heavily traded in since the prospects
of profits from war orders" became
the topic of chief discussion in specu-
lative circles After opening at ad-
vance since saturday of from l to Z
points in the active issues, the market
continued the advance until the news
was received touching the sinking OF
the Leelanaw off the coast OF Scotland.
Then there was a period of hesita-
ton, followed by general selling which
led to declines ranging from to 10
points in the industrial shares. The
decline of Is points in Bethlehem
Steel was the most pronounced.
Within a half hour there was a
good rally and some Of the early
losses were made up, Bethlehem Steel
making new high record. In the aft
ernoon there were further gains and
some of the so-called war issues
touched their early high level. To,
