Turkish School chlIdren.

Turkish children rec1te their lessons all together in the old fashioned schools, and if you could hear them you would think that you had gone into Wonderland with Alice where things wouldn't come straight" The dttle girls go to school in groups, and with them is always an old servant who carries all their books on what looks for all the world like a small clothes tree. The boys go and come An two long lines attended by their teacher They carry their own books and wear long trousers and fezzes exactly like their fathers. Some of the tiny girls carry their own little tables and draw ing boards. In, the gipsy village in Scutari the children learn their lessons by songs in the street. They stand in a circle with & big girl in the middle and they get noisier and noisieE the more interested they grow.-LindRmirh Harbeson in St. Nicholas

WHITE CLOTHING.
 OR NONE, IF DYES ARE NOT OFT AIMED
More Than LOGO Mills, Elm ploying 100, ,OOO,. Are Clos
 ed or on Part Time.

New York, Jan. 6.-Reports on the dyestuffs situation in this country, laid before the National Association of Clothing Manufacturers at a spe- eial meeting held yesterday at the Ho- tel Brevoort, indicate that crisis for the garment trade is already at hand, and that before long everybody will have to wear white clothes or none at all. H Nf Representatives of more than $75,- GOO ,00e of capital invested in the man ufacturel of nuns garments heard the reports that attempts to relieve the situation by inportations of logwood dye had been a failure, as all the log wood dye. in Jamaica, if available, would be inadequate.
 A committee of seven was appointed to go to Washington and make the strongest possible appeal for relief to netary Penfe1d and the British, French and German ambassadors.
 More than LOGO textile mills, ern- ipIoying upward of 100000 persons, are now either idle or running on part
 There is no immediate hope Of relief from the creation of an American an- iIine dye industry. Capital cannot be interested in a project of this kind be- cause it is regarded as temporary and the belief is that American dye works would not withstand the re- newed German competition after the war without a great measure of tariff protection.
 With a view to providing for the fu- ture, at the same time that they are taking emergency measures for the present crisis, the members of the as- sociation resolved to begin an active campaign for the passage of a bill, a1- ready introduced in Congress by Rep resentative Hill of Connecticut, i'm posing a high protective duty on i'm ported dyestuffs.

ITALIAN LINER HERE, MOUNTED
 GUNS ON DECK

t 5 Washington, Jan. e-The state de- partnnent probabIy will take up with the Italian government the question of guns mounted on the liner Gfu- seppe Verdi with a view of having the pieces dismounted before the ship leaves American waters
 The guns on the Verdi promise to bring up again a point which has been disputed once since the war began. At the outset of hosti1ities the United States took the position that ships entering American ports with guns of not more than six inches in calibre mounted we'll aft for purposes of de- fense would not be considered armed but reserved the right to change its position in the light of changing con ditions of warfare.
 The state department later had in formal negotiations with Great Brf- tain and France through their ambas- sadors here and asked that any guns whatever be removed from the big passenger liners coming into American ports. The two foreign governments, though resolving their rights inform ally complied. Later a British ship. the Waimana, was denied clearance papers at Newport News because a finch gun was mounted astern. Still reserving it's rights. the British gov ernment ordered the gun removed and the ship was cleared.
 Since the question of the gun on the British liner Persia has arisen. the point has been brought up again but Secretary Lansing has declined to an nounce any. position and has let it be known that he would not be commit ted-
 State department officials expressed the view today that the Italian gov ernment would probably be asked in formally to dismount the guns on the Verdi before she sails from the Uni. ted States
 New York, Jan. 6.-The Italian liner Giuseppe Verdi arrived here to- day from Genoa, Naples and Palermo carrying two four-inch naval guns mounted in the stern. Passengers said they understand the Italian govern ment had been responsible for the mounting of these guns which were intended to repel any submarine that might have attacked the steamship in the Mediterranean.
 After leaving Palermo on Dec. 24, all lights on the Gisuppe Verdi were carefully concealed and during the daytime the steamer covered a round about course for the purpose of avoid- ing hostile submarines. /I
 Officers reported having encount- cred terrific northwest and west gales during a considerable portion of the voyage and the high seas smashed several of the liners lifeboats and put out of commission the telephone system between the bridge and the piIothouse and engine room.

APPRECIATION OF WORK

That the efforts of the volunteer firemen who worked against the fast spreading flames at the Tempe house fire early Saturday morning. were not without reward is evidenced by the liberal contributions that have been made to Fire Chief W.ckliffe by the business houses and individual cici- Zens. Even within few hours after the fire. five dollar check was hand cd in and others, always voluntarily rendered, were added to the list during the course of the day That the town needs better equipment and better or ganization of the fire department is readily conceded and it is thought that this is one of the means that will stimulate the people to the right move Insurance adjusters have visited the scene of the fire and as soon as the losses are adjusted the wreck of the fire will be cleared away.

 o may I know Thy presence near, In darkness send to me thy light. Send out thy light o, Lord to show The pathway leading up to Thee; To keep my feet from depths below, o Lord send out Thy light to me.
