To the Editor Of THE TIMEs:
Last night, on my way home I hap.
pened to pass bv one of the moving
picture theaters on the Avenue. / pur-
chased a ticket without realizing the
time. but soon discovered it was too
late to see as much as one part Of the
five-reel picture. I would like to ask
If 1t is right to keep on selling tickets
so late without calling the attention
of patrons to the fact that it is impos-
sible to see the whole show p. H. L.

COMFORT STATION FLOOR PLANS,
Idea Of How Court House Basement Will Appear if
Plans Are Adopted

ticalIy the same as the ladies' room,
skx24, with a large vent running up
to the roof. Entrance may be gained
thru the main hall in the basement OF
the court house. or from the outside
direct, by door leading from the First
avenue side, as shown in the illustra-
tion. A vestibule would be constructed
for this outside entrance. Two lava
tories and ample toilets will be pro-
yided here. M
Would Enlarge Rest Rooms.
Enlargement of the rest rooms Tor
women is also planned. The room
marked dining room" in the plan is
the one north of the present rest room,
facing the east on First avenue. Half
of this room has been partitioned off
as the historical society room, but in
the other half as many as twenty-five
girls from the country who attend
school or work here, come every noon
to eat their lunch. II the present &C
concentrations prove too small the
partition will be removed. and the en-
tire room could be given over to this
use. Tables and chairs are provided
now. ~
With the excellent facilities already
at hand in the court house basement,
an outside comfort station would only
be an added expense. The present
plan seems by far the best and least
expensive, and will In all probability
be carried out. @e

Convenience, both as 70 size and
ventilation, IL the principal asset OF the
proposed public comfort station, rest,
and toilet rooms which are planned for
the basement Of the court house, ana
which are Illustrated in the accom-
panying cut. The plan Of the east half
OF the court house was drawn by e.
H. Eckman. architect, for the Mar
shalltown Club, and shows clearly just
how the rooms will be arranged.
The plans arrange for a new en-
trance to be constructed to the ladies'
rest rooms, facing the east, SO
that the entrance may be seen from
Main street. One OF the windows.
probably the one farthest south, could
be cut thru for door, and steps built
down from the street level. The ladies'
toilets would be west Of the present
rest rooms in room Shx24 feet In
size, originally built for vault. A
large window in the. toilet room would
face the south. There is good-sized
vent running clear up thru the roof OF
the court house which will afford
ample ventilation. There could be eight
toilets and four lavatories In this room.
No direct outside entrance Will be
built for the ladies' toilet, but entrance
may be gained thru the rest room.

county engineer office will be utilized

But over in Vienna and Marion town

Old Paper Tells Story.
While rummaging around in some
old effects of his father, the late Or
lando Marsh Llewellyn G. Marsh, GU
Jerome street, came across a copy OF
the Marietta Weekly Express, pub
lished in what was then the most pre-
tentious town in Marshall county, and
the county seat. The paper was of
date Of June 2, 1858. when A. ]. High
and A. j. Kenney were editors and
publishers of the paper.
The Express tells the story OF the
excitement of finding gold as follows:
I'VE are happy to state that Mar

Oh counties in Iowa in which gold has
been discovered. Considerable quanti-
ties of the pure article have been found
in Marion and Vienna townships dur

to the gold field ourselves, but we
have seen specimens and found our
statement of the existence Of gold in
this country upon the testimony OF
men whose word we can not doubt.
On Monday Mr.. Glass, Of Vienna
township, showed us fine specimen OF
gold bearing quartz containing a large
percentage of the precious metal, which
he found near his own residence. he
said he had more of the same sort at
home, and that he had submitted his
specimens to three California gold dig
gers, who pronounced them "all right

cording to the Hebrew calendar.
This feast was established for his
toric reasons and celebrates the VIC
tories Of the Maccabees over the
Syrians. Ahtiochus, king of Syria. IN
the second century before the common
era, aspired to dominate the countries
OF the east. He pursued the policy OF
suppressing all national distinctions
and OF foisting upon his subjects. in
\ the various countries which had coma
under his control, the religion and civ
ilization Of Syria. This, tho Greek in
origin, was debased in spirit and prac-
tice. The Jews. proud Of their tradi-
tions and devoted to their pieties and
moraiities, resented the intrusion and
the violence OF the Syrian conquerors.

Women would prefer earning their
money naturally as mothers, serving
their own children, than unnaturaIly

By making it certain that all moth

will give their children the best pos
sible advantages we will increase the
number. of mothers and rapidly re-
duce the other kind.
The old idea that the birth of a
child can be disgraceful is all that
stands in the way. The birth of a
human being-an immortal soul, if
you please cannot be disgraceful in
the eyes Of nature or God.

still many, seem ignorant Of a cure
for poverty and prostitution. Girls
working for SIS per week prove lack
Of opportunity and the need for SELL
ing out as slaves. For every slave
killed or abused in former years
there are now a thousand suicides
and murders traceable to poverty and
deaths from disease and ruined lives.
Yet the people are slow to see present
slavery. Poverty cannot now be laid
to individual fauIts-it is too general
and too severe. When this is realized
we will begin to look for the cause

MEAT SUPPLY INCREASES

Washington, Feb. AT last the
supply of meat visible in the United
States is on the increase. Since 1910
every year the number of beet cat
tie has declined. This year the agri-
cultural department finds that there
has been turn and an increase Of
3.4 per cent over the number a year
ago as reported. This amounts to
1,212,00O head. Swine have also in
cresed SO per cent. These facts will
have tendency to check the in
crease in the price of meat, which
tendency will probably be more than
offset by the huge expectations of
meat abroad for war purposes
net result being the old story of the
increased cost of living on the pay
envelope which either stays the same
or has been depleted.
