Paris, July 14.-Paris celebrated
Bastile day, the birthday of French

unprecedented since the war began.
Hundreds of thousands of Parisians

"QUEENIE" IS IN JAIL
Katherine Tassell, Liquor Dealeress
I'm for Sixty Days.

Katherine Tassell, referred to by
Mayor J. E. House as Queen of the
Jointists," is a dethroned queen She
is not only dethroned but she is in the
county Jail, due to serve sixty days and
pay fine of 5000.
Mrs. Tassell'S toys when she came to
the court house today, indicated that
she knew her reign was over tempo
rarily. Instead of the regal purple
outfit-dress, hat, gloves and stock
ings-she wore the night she made
her first grand entry at the police sta
ton, escorted by officers she wore to-
day very modest costume of white
and green. There was nothing regal
about it.
She was convicted a month ago or
two liquor counts but was released or
bond, pending sentence. She waited
until the last day before Judge G. H
Whitcomb started on his vacation, tc
accept sentence. Even then she tried
to get a respite. She abandoned hel
queenly poise long enough this morn.
ing to plead with Judge Whitcomb tC
give her more time. The reason she
gave was taht her father is sick ant
needs her care.
County officials were not inclined tt
grant her any further time and sh,
was sentenced. She went to the coun
| ty Jail alone.

stories of attacks by sharks upon
bathers along the New jersey
coast were discussed at today's meet

McAdoo announced that the coast
guard would be ordered to do what IL

dangerous fish and preventing Iurther
loss of life.
Instructions were sent by the treas.
ury department both to the coast
guard cutters and life saving stations.
No definite plan of action has been
worked out but the idea is to have the
service aid in locating and killing
sharks and when possible warn re-
sorts of their proximity.
Secretary Redfield told the CABINET

EVERY ONE LIKES TO DRESS UP.

even waiting for the cat to die she
scampered off into the house.
All through her own clothes closet
she rummaged, but not a single thing
did she find.that she wanted to wear.
To be sure there were bingham
dresses and percale dresses and two
nice new white dresses and one would
think that was enough for any little
girl But Helen wanted to wear
something different, something very
different.

called to see what she wanted

The Results of a Good Speech.
Some preachers are fond of pictur-
ing this address of Paul on Mars Hill
as a failure. They say it was TOO
learned and too philosophical, ana
they portray the apostle as leaving the
iAreopagus with eyes cast down ana
heart burdened in the CONSCIOUSNESS
that his fine speech was failure, ana
which is reading a theory into the
| text The converts of this address
were important enough to have their
names mentioned. When Paul Went
from Mars Hill and from Athens, he
| left behind him a mighty leaven in the
| lump of the city's life.
True, some of the merely, specula-
tive philosophers baked at his teach
lings of repentance and of the resur-
rection. Everybody who thinks that
religion is merely matter for discus
sion finds fault with Christianity on
this ground. Like every good sermon
PauPs Grafton on Mars Hill ended with
the presentation of definite duty
and of the GLORIOUS Hope" The dear
est hope of the race that life shall
continue beyond the grave is made
real and near by Christ, who Himself
| tasted death that man might taste
life. Christianity is not merely q
philosophical conception. II all heads
up in Christ and Him crucified, the
one Savior and the Everything Power
of those who accept Him.
Paurs message had much in com
mon with the teachings of the philoso-
piers. of the Areopagus. but in this
one point it went beyond them all, in
that it offered that of which they
were so barren, life, new and more
abundant.

Topekans are reported, to be lag

the support of the needy dependents
of the loyal soldier boys who respond
ed so promptly and cheerfuily to their
country's call. And this doesn't speak
very well for the generosity of To-
pekans. However, this call on To-
pekans for relief should only be tenn
porary, as this is an important matter
that the federal government should at
tend to and promptly. Regardless of
the gigantic expenses that the nations
of Europe have been under ever since
their war began, and merely to conduct

is hanging higher than ever in the

that six of the good Republicans of

sufficient to appease the wrath of Vic

the Bull Moose ranks. However, this

Faith Amidst Philosophers.
One of the classical examples of or
atory quoted in all standard books is
the address of the Apostle Paul on
Mars Hill. Here is the address itself:
Now. while Paul waited for them
at Athens, his spirit was stirred in
him, when he saw the city wholly
given to idolatry. Therefore disputed
he in the synagogue with the Jews,
and with the devout persons. and in
the market daily with them that met
with him. Then certain philosophers
of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics,
encountered him.. And some said
