Paste This on the Family Tool Chest
The idea of this cabinet Is to furnish
amusement to the family when they
have scratched up all the furniture and
done all the damage elsewhere they
can think of; therefore
Do not replace or put back anything
that you take out of these drawers.
Try, if possible, to select and remove
from this cabinet some article or tool
that is absolutely Indispensable, leav-
ing it preferably out in the back yard.
If you have anything hanging about
your room that is Of no earthly use
you might store it in one Of these
drawers.
Remember that the main idea Of hav"
ing this cabinet on the premises is
gradually to fill it with utterly useless
things.
And remove from 1t at the same time
all the useful things.
Patience! Keep at it and you are
bound to succeed.-Life.

GLOOM CAST OVER THE
FOREIGN SITUATION
BECAUSE OF GERMANY
A DISASTROUS FIRE
IN ATLANTIC CITY

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Feb. A.
TEree are dead and four seriously
ly injured, the result of disastrous
fire here this morning. The property
damage will be considerable, but at
noon had not been estimated.
The dead were all guests of the Ov-
erbrook hotel, which was destroyed in
the contiagration. The building oc-
cupying one entire block, was almost
wholly destroyed. Several of the dead
leaped from upper story windows and
were crushed to death by the force of
their fall. others met death through
suffocation, being unable to reach
openings or find stairways. The hotel
elevators became unmanageable short
ly after the fire was discovered, and
to this fact is attributed the inability
of the victims to escape.
Indication are that the fire originat-
ed in the kitchen of the overly hotel,
but the flames spread so rapidly, it was
impossible to definitely locate their
origin. Nearby buildings were saved
from serious damage, by the work of
the fire department.

Aerial Movements Interesting.

LONDON, Feb. Aerial activities
are of chief interest in today's war
news, these raids being reported from
all sources and on several fronts.
The Austrian report~having attack
ed Durazzo, but there is no Italian con-
firmation of this report. Another raid
directed against Avlona, is also re-
ported from Vienna.
Increasing aerial activity by the
Russians in Galicia has been COM
menced, but points attacked are not
given. The raids in that region are be-
lieved to have been directed against
austrian entrenchments and in recon
noitering.

liahed news despatch from the Cau-
casus saying Erzerum had been evac-
uated by the Turks, but no confirma-
ticn of this report can be gained.

attempted second raid over the En-
tonte encampment at Saloniki during

irated. None of the attackers succeed

Germans hink DOfferent.

DR.. Alfred Zeimmerman, under sec
rotary for foreign affairs, and who has
represented the Kaiser throughout the
negotiations with Washington, in an
tpterview given out today, explicitly
states that Germany has done every
thing in its power to maintain friend,
ly relations with the American gov
ernment. But there are limits beyond
which even friendship snaps" he adds
DR.. Zeimmerman expressed the opin-
ion that the matter had been amicably
settled, until new demands were
made" but no intimation is given con-
cerning the nature of these demands.
Your must not push your demands
too far" Dr. Zeimmerman said. "Yoa
must not push your demands too far
You must not attempt TO humiliate
Germany" These words, ever, though
not officially addressed to official
Washington, indicate the tension thaf
exists, and coming from so high an az
thority as the under secretary for for
eign affairs, are believed to portena
an interruption of diplomatic relations
unless the American government
reconsiders its position.
