Frequent study has been made of
the writer's of famous hymns, but less
heed has been given to the makers
Of the tunes which have often been the
means of carrying the words into
universal use. A tune is easier to
learn by ear than words are, and thus
singer may have recourse to book
for words without needing the score
for the melody. But after all, our as
sociations with hymns are quite as
apt to be with the music as with the
words; and the writer's of our best
hymn tunes are often eminent com.
posers.
Among the obscurer composers of
hymn tunes that have lasted long the
Christian Work mentions Isaac Baker
Woodbury. of Beverly, Mass, who be-
gan his career as a blacksmith's ap-
prentice. His interest in churchgoing
brought him at last to an interest in
music, and he even studied in Europe
and was an associate of the better
known musicians of the day. His
tune called "Siloam," sung to He
ber's by Cool Siloam's Shady Rill, !"
is known to most churchgoers.

! went with my lantern into Ze's
little hut; l sat down by the fire, and

Mpioga, still without teeth, was howl

Mother is relentless until both feet

leaf packet; there is salve made of
the bark of the redwood tree; she
adds little palm oil to this, and very
carefully she anoints the little feet.
The sobs subside and the child walks
off on his heels. Now the mother
pours more water into the bowl, takes
the fretful baby out of the hands of
little brother, stands the weeny thing

and swabs her down with water.

Able to Defy Burglars.

The story of the strong room is moth
ing more than one long fight between
the safemaker and the burglar. But
at last the vault maker would appear
to have won, and it is the boast OF
experts that many of the strong rooms
found in the more up-to-date safe de-
posits, banks and other institutions
are not only burglar-proof, but proof
against attack by armed mobs and
also from earthquake shocks. Their
great steel walls are absolutely un-
drillable on account of the hardness of
the metal employed, while by welding
the plates together it is virtually i'm
possible to burn through them.
Then, by means of time and COM
bination locks, it is impossible to open
the doors without a key and knowl-
edge of the combination, once they
are closed. AS further precaution,
many of these strong rooms are so
designed that an electrical alarm is
sounded should attack be made upon
them, or the basement in which they
are situated is flooded with water the
moment their mechanism is tampered
with,

Men Who Wear Feathers.

Among the strange tribes of men
about whom little is known are the
Chamacccos of the region about the
upper Paraguay river.
Although the Chamacocos wear but
little clothing they excel in the art of
making personal adornments from the
feathers of birds. Their country
abounds with birds of the most beau
tiful plurlage, including parrots, tou-
cans and trcgons, whose feathers are
dazzling in color: rheas, with gray
plumes; musk ducks OF glossy black
color, egrets with feathers of pure
white and spoonbills of delicate
pink hue.
T., All this wealth of color and grace
full plumage is combined by the Cham
acocos in a most artistic manner

PLANT BURlES ITS OFFSPRING
Peanut Has Most Effective Method
Of Protecting Them From
Their Enemies.

Here's a plant mother that buries
her children to protect them While
the children of other plants are being
kidnapped by animals and birds, these
youngsters are carefully hidden away
beneath the ground so they can grow
in safety. But man won't permit the
mother to keep her children long. He
digs them up-and eats them. The
plant is the peanut.
Its leaves look like a four-leaved
clover. Its blossoms are dainty yel-
low, shaped like those of the sweet
pea. When they wither and fall off
the mother plant begins to worry
about her seed children, for If the
birds and animals kidnap them before
they ripen they won't have a chance
to grow and produce more plants next
year.
So she bends her stalks downward
and each head where the flowers have
fallen off she pokes into the ground.
There the little seeds develop inside
of wrinkly, paperlike pods Sometimes
the little tunneling moles find them
and eat them, or maybe hogs viii come
and root them out Usually, however,
they're safe from all marauders.
America gave the world the peanut.
It was found first in Brazil. Since its
commercial value was discovered it
has been planted all over the world
Since 1866 it has been a staple prod
uct of southern United States.

ACTION IN EASTLAND CASE Is
DEMANDED BY OLANDER

President Wilson, the two senators
from Illinois and Sec'y of Commerce
Redfeld will today be mailed copies
of a resolution passed by the Chicago
Federation of Labor yesterday asking
for public investigation in the U. S.
steamboat inspection service on the
Great Lakes.
Victor Olander, head of the Lake
Seaman's union, introduced this reso-
luton along with two others. One
asked States Atty Hoyne to mail
copies of the July grand jury report
to the same parties. The other con-
dennis bill introduced by Congress-
man Britten from Illinois, which
Olander declares is a joker against a
law already in effect which limits the
hours which an officer of a lake boat
must remain on watch. Britten's
amendment is to exempt the Chicago
fire boats and really contains Joker
to nullify the whole law, says
Olander.

owners of Chicago and not the people
of Chicago" he declared. ''He shows

HENRY FORD TO AID CAMPAIGN
AGAINST PREPAREDNESS
Henry Ford is willing to spend the
millions he made in manufacturing
Ford autos in his fight to keep Amer
lea from entering upon a military
preparedness program. In an inter-
view he granted as he boarded his
train for Detroit he gave the impress
ion that he considered preparation
for war the same as preparation for
national suicide.
eff the people of this country let
the government get into the hands
of politicians who want to lead them
to war they are foolish" said Ford.
Preparedness is war. We in the
United States do not want war, but
the men who get us preparedness will
find war"
He said that a new movement to
fight preparedness in Europe and
America will be begun under his lead
ership this week. 81 am getting to-
gether an organization that will be
just as efficient as my automobile

The American newspapers gave
the wrong impression of the way his

abroad" he said. "They were de-

IS HELD
AS MURDERER OF
HIS AGED MOTHER
Grand Jury Returns True
Bill and Buffalo Man is
Remanded Without Bail.

Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 9.-The grand
jury today. reported an Indictment
against John Edward Teiper, charging
him with the murder OF his mother,
Mrs. Agnes NJ. Teiper, one of the vic
Tins of the Orchard Park Highway
tragedy. There were two counts in
the indictment relating to the death
of Mrs. Teiper.< to both of which Tel
per pleaded not guilty. Teiper was
committed to Jail without bail.
The indictment charges that the ac-
cused killed Mrs. Agnes M. Teiper
with a revolver, a hammer, a blunt
instrument and other instruments un-
known to the jury
After Teiper had entered his plea of
not guilty his counsel, Edward R.
OMalley, made effort to proceed
with the examination of the prisoner
under the charge made by District At
torney Dudley before Justice Marcus,
sitting as a committing magistrate on
Monday, but Mr.. Dudley objected. and
the court consented to the withdrawal
of this former charge.
The case against Teiper probably
will not be called until some time in
April. Grace J. Teiper's condition
showed considerable improvement to-
day, the hospital physicians said She
had a brief period of consciousness,
but said nothing that would throw any
light upon the Orchard Park tragedy.

of the Iowa board of railroad commits
sioners who was associated with Mr..

committee was guilty of infide1ity, of
breach of faith aQd of unprofessional
conduct in connection with one of the
greatest cases of this generation

Thorne charged that Brandeis, as an
attorney appearing for the shippers,

railroads was inadequate and that
