The Athenian sLiturgy." !"

One of the most interesting cases of voluntary taxation is the ancient Athe- nian liturgy" which meant something very different from the liturgy of to- day, the etymological meaning of the word being public work" The liturgy was a special contribution made to, the state by a wealthy citizen or group of citizens. There were ordinary hts1r- gies, such as the provision of the chorus for a great tragedy, and extraor- dfnary ones, such as the equipment or maintenance of a warship. The htur- gy was fundamentally a tax, and 1t was often evaded by all sorts of
 shifts. But in the palmy days of Athens it was considered disgracefu1 for those upon whom it was imposed
 to do no more than the law exacted,
 and sometimes rich citizens would vol unteer a liturgy from public spirit or to win popularity.-London Chronicle.

EMPIRE

A perfect example of a love that was so deep and lasting that it kept a man single and faithful during the many years that his desire was mar ried to another is shown in the Mor- osco photoplay, t"The Code of Marcia Cray released on the Paramoun Program and showing today at Keeney's Empire theatre.
 Handsome Forrest Stanley Or Iando Castle, the lawyer who was the disappointed suitor for Marcia's hand and heart plays difficult role in a finished manner
 The spectacular career of Harry Gray. the f1nancier, ends in prison cell and it is to Castle as 3, last resort that Marcia comes.
 In these fiber testing times Marcia cannot help but compare the real caliber of the two, her husband and Castle. To Castle it is the acid-test for he is with Marcia constantly.
 Compelling realism is given to this interesting situation by the capital act ing of this strong cast with Constance Collier the English star and Marcia Other feature photop1ays.

RECRUIT MUTlNY
 STIRRED BY GOLD
 SENATOR CL
Eneny's s Influence Apparent Tn Australia, Is As
 sertion.

sydney, Australia March 21-A re- cent riot at Sydney in which some 1 B. 900 soldiers were involved can be caN- ed by no other name than "nutiny' the Minister for Defense, who express .es his belief that trouble among the Australian recruits has been inspired by 1senemy gold and infhence.''
 Newspapers in Sydney and else where, however, attribute the out the defense department to see that wartime discipline is maintained at the training camps.
 (Some details of the riots at Syd= ney have already been learned through the arrival of steamships at San Francisco, but the following eleb- crates and confirms previous advices.)
 The troops involved in the n1utiny were from the training camps at Ca- Hsula and Liverpool, near this city. The trouble was due primarily to an order from the Inspector-GeneraI of the Commonwealth forces, Major General J W. McCay, increasing the number of hours of weekly drill from 36 to 40 1-2. This order was issued from headquarters at Melbourne, and was immediately received with poor grace by the recruits at the two big train ing camps. The order was to go, into effect on the morning of February IA lon that morning 5, 900 men narched Hout of the Casula camp, which is about 25 miles from Sydney, on what they called a strike It is assumed that the military guard at the camp was not strong enough to offer resist ance. In any case the Casu1a men marched to the nearby Liverpool camp and induced about 10, 900 men to join in the ttstrikey' Although a consid- erable, number of recruits at both camps refused to join in the rnusino us Toe strike were followed by a big ma jority of all the recruits
 The first trouble occurred in the town of Liverpool where, before noon, large bodies of soldiers had wrecked two saloons, drunk much Ifquor and taken practical possession of the place. The trains running from Liv- erpoo1 to Sydney were seized by the soldiers and they swarmed into Syd- ney during the rest of the day. The men at first contented themselves with parading in military formation, but later they began to '1 dshr trolley cars, commit petty -looting, and Frightening women and children. By evening the situation had become se- rious for the majority of the men had become intoxicated. The city police were called out to their maxi mum strength in both foot and mounted men and attempted to enz force a special order for the closing of saloons. The police were unable to cope with this situation, however, and armed regulars were s brought from the Casula and Liverpool camps.
 In the early evening the rioters stormed the German club. Although that institution was closed bX the au- thorities some time ago. the men wan tonfy stoned it, and broke into many other buildings. A large number of arrests were made. Finally a par #ty of strikers" attacked a number of soldier-picket stationed at the Cen traI Railway Station The rioters were first to fire, using their revol. vers and the piclsets returned with ri- f1es As result of this clash a cav

and eight other recruits seriously wounded.
 During the night the regular sol= diers succeeded in getting the recruits back to their respective camps. hav- ing arrested the ring leaders. Some of the latter were dealt with leniently with short jail sentences, but the principal ones were taken in hand by the military authorities for court mar tia1.
 Keen regret was felt in Sydney and all over Australia because of the nu- tinous conduct of the recruits sAp- prehension was felt lest the reports of the trouble should be exaggerated abroad, and for a time the censor ship prevented any account of the oc- currences.

Power of ocean Rreakera.

Experiments made at the Bell Rock and Skerryvore lighthouses, on the Scottish coast, have shown that, while the force of breakers in the German ocean may be taken as about a ton and a half on every square foot of surface, Atlantic breakers fall with a weight of about three tons to the square foot. On one occasion during a heavy gale huge blocks of granite were washed about like pebbles at the Plymouth breakwater, carried POO feet up its in- clined plane and scattered beyond it in all directions. One of the blocks weighed two tons.

RANGE FINDING IN AIR oUgLs.

A French writer on aircraft indi-
Gated the difficulty in finding the
range in an air duel. If you have
two machines flying in opposite di-
rections each at speed of 100 miles
an hour and thus having a combined
speed Of 200 miles on hour the dis
lance of the two machines varies dt
the rate of nearly 800 feet a second,
which means, he says, that within
the space of five seconds required for
aiming after estimating the range
the target is 1900 feet closer than
it was at first. II the trajectory of
your missile is slightly too curved
you will fire over the target.

ESKlM0S HAVE MANY GAMES
Also Are Said to Show Remarkable
Proficiency in Contests That
Call for Skill.

In the matter of amusements the
Eskimos are not badly off. They
have form of the cup-and-ball
game played there, the ball being a
block of ivory with holes at different
angles, into which one of the PLAYERS
strives to insert an ivory peg as the
block falls, the position of the hole
determining the value of the stroke.
Another game closely resembles
iominoes, while, when they can Dor
row or purchase a pack of cards, the
more intelligent of them will play
with considerable skill and they en-
JOY drafts, having learned these
games from the whalers. They also
have game exactly like solitaire,
with the exception that ivory pegs
take the place of glass balls.
The special amusement of the
women is a species of "cat's cradle"
which has beenbrought to such per-
lection that they develop from the
string twenty to thirty different fig
ures in it. Indeed, they are extreme
ly clever in performing tricks with
string, winding and twisting a piece
in and out among their fingers, and
then disentangling it by single pull
of the end.

BILLY SUNDAYS JAZZ
PRAISE OF MOTHERS
Boston, Dec. 20.

| DOStOn, Lee. ~.
"The bravest battle that ever was
fought.
Shall | tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you'll find
il not
Twas fought by the mothers OF
men,"
Thus Billy Sunday paid his tribute
here to the mothers of the land when
twice, afternoon and evening, to an
aggregate of 26,O people, most Of
them mothers, he preached his fam
Gus sermon on Mothers. ;" Under
the spell of his sermon LOOP men and
women hit the TRAIL"
Here are some Of the high lights of
Sundays sermon on Mothers:
81 want to tell you women that
fooling away your time hugging and
kissing poodle dog, caressing a
Spitz, drinking a society bran mash
and cocktail and playing cards is
mighty small business compared to
molding the life of child"
Get the boys and girls started
right and the devil will hang crepe
on his door, bank his fires and hell
will be for rent"
'The Bible should be on every
teachers desk, and the opinion of
those who are opposed to it can go to
perdition.
IF men had half as much grit as
women there would be different stor-
les written about good many homes.
"If the mothers would live as they
should, we preachers would have lit
tie to do"
Most any old stick will do for
daddy; God is particular about the
mothers"
"The devil gets in many a boy by
getting in his daddy first"
when a woman's heart and a
baby's tears get tangled up together,
something happens that gives the
devil cold feet"
IF the devils in hell ever turned
pale it was the day when mother love
famed up for the first time in wo-
mans heart"
No woman has any more right to
raise her children for pleasure than
have to pick your pockets or throw
red pepper in your eyes. "
Being a king, an emperor or
president is mighty small business
compared to being mother or the
teacher of children.
IF you want to find greatness,
don't go toward the throne; 90 to the
cradle, and the nearer you get to tine
cradle, the nearer to greatness.
