MURDERED BY SOME AGENT OF
HOSTILE FORCE"

London, June 2.-"Murdered by
some agent of a hostile force" was
the jury's verdict today at inquest
into deaths of Henry Good and his
wife, Caroline Good, two victims of
first Zeppelin raid on London.
Throughout proceedings, attended
by throng of weeping neighbors,
there was no mention of the location
of the house occupied by the Goods.
1.-TWO bombs crashed through the
roof" said the principal witness, a
neighbor "The house Immediately
burst into flames. When firemen got
the blaze under control, some of us
entered. We found the two victims
kneeling beside their bed. Mr. Goods
arm about his wife. Both had been
suffocated and their limbs badly
burned"
Fragments of the two bombs,
found by the firemen, were offered as
exhibits. Experts testified that the
bombs evidently contained some kind
of explosive, contained in a metal
shell and wrapped with tarred rope
that would burst into flames when
the bomb crashed into a solid sub
stance

several motor manufacturers have
looked over Chicago as prospective
field for jitneys and their entire sur
plus of cars for sale would be ready
for use.
St. Louis now has 1,1S8 jitneys,
Milwaukee 624. The $4,000 needed
for Chicago during a strike would ar
rive from day to day so that the long
er the strike lasted the better would
be the city's transportation system.
Street car service now is rotten
and without doubt the most unpop-
ular single one of all the public nui-
sances of Chicago. Hundreds of
thousands of straphangers now daily
jammed like stock yards cattle and
sheep into crowded, suffocating, dis
ease breeding cars, would be glad to
cooperate with the jitneys in an at
tempt to break the power of the trac-
ton trust.
The car men are tired of the trick
cry of arbitration. They say arbi-
traitor is talking match and justice
doesn't get a look-in. No arbitration
goes. No promises. No juggling of
figures. Nothing goes but an iron
clad contract specifying higher wages
and an arrangement of the working
day which will permit family men to
spend some time at home instead of
waiting at car barns between short
runs for short pay.

DIPLOMATIC MIXUP NEARLY
CREEPS INTO WHITE HOUSE


Washington, June 2. - President
Wilson saw German Ambassador Won
Bernstorff today.
The two had a thirty minute talk
together at the white house. Two
minutes before Won Bernstorff left,
Italian Ambassador Cellere arrived to
see the president. Considering the
relations between their respective
countries it would have been little
short of diplomatic tragedy had the
German and the Italian met. White
house attendants we're forced to some
lively maneuvering to get Won Bern
storff out by one route while Cellere
entered by another.
No statement was issued from the
white house concerning the nature
of the talk between the president and
Won Bernstorff.

Rayaces Of Rust.

Few people comprehend the extent
OF purely normal wear and tear Tit
Bits says that one large railway sys-
tenn suffers loss of more than eight
cen tons of metal daily, due solely to
the effect of rust. Thus far. the only
known preventive is to keep the metal
surface always covered with a suit
able paint. Some idea of the costli-
ness OF this remedy. however, may be
gained from the fact hat it requires
about sl.O00 annually 10 paint one
large railway bridge alone.
A typical case of this kind is the
Forth bridge, on which a corps of
painters are constantly employed
since the weather makes repainting of
one end OF this large structure neces-
sary before the workers have reached

demonstrated that pure iron surround

USED RAzORS ON THE PIG
Salmon p. Chase. as a Younsster, Die
Good Job, But II Failed to
Meet Appreciation.

Salmon p. Chase, governor of Ohio
senator OF the United States. secre
tary OF the United States treasury,
and chief justice of the Supreme
court of the United States, once had
an encounter with a pig that is worth
telling.
When a boy he attended a private
boarding school kept by his uncle,
the Episcopal bishop OF Ohio He
did the chores for his uncle during
the school term. and worked on the
farm during the summer. One day
his uncle told his nephew that he
should kill and dress a pig at the
close of the school that day.
With no little difficulty, the boy
caught the pig and killed it. And
now the question was how TO get the
bristles of. He had heard OF farmers
scalding hogs; so he soused the pig
into barrel of hot water. He either
held the pig in the water too long,
or did not have it hot enough. for in
spite of all his scraping. the bristles
would not come off. He then thought
Of his uncle's razors, and getting
them. he shaved the pig from nose
TO tail.
When the bishop returned. he con-
graduated his nephew on the splendid
appearance OF the pork. But when he
tried to shave the next day, he dis
covered that the razOrs would not
work What he said and did we may
imagine. but We do not know.
Chief Justice Chase was very dig
nified man. His private secretary, Mr..
Didier, says that he had little humor
in his composition. President Lin
coin once related the foregoing story
at meeting OF the cabinet, but Mr..
Chase did not like it very well, and
the president never referred to it
again.-Youth's Companion.

DANGEROUS JelIyfshes.

The singing threads of the com
mon jellyfish are not strong enough
to pierce the ordinary human skin,
but bathers on British coasts have
sometimes painful experiences OF
the virulence or the orange or blue
species. in other waters there are
much more formidable jellytishes.
Thus Mr.. S. F. Light. in describing
Philippine medusae. notes that the
sting of the tentacles is very dan
gerous. Swelling and Inflammation
begin almost Immediately, blisters
form. the heart action is impaired,
respiratory spasms and nervous
twitchings Of the muscles ensue. and
there is intense general pain. The

Mothers RESPONSIBILITY.

Don't allow yourself to get angry,
petulant, or even impatient.
Don't allow envy, malice, revenge
or resentment a place in your mind.
Such emotions set up cross-currents
in the consciousness that reflect upon
the body and its tissues, coagulatins
the blood and demoralizing the nerv-
Gus system. Many cases are recorded
where the milk OF a mother recently
angry has poisoned the nursing child.
Assesses, tumors, cancers and like
appearances are vents on the innocent
body OF the violent mental throes
within. Remember that every thought
and emotion must in due time express
itself.-Mother Magazine
