Joyous Immunity,


Let us take heart, though warm the day,
With sultrier August drawing near;
Though through the hills mosquitoes
play;
And monsters in the deep appear,
Though you are sunburnt till you find
Your neck is simmering in the glow,
One glad reflection soothes the mind
You're sure it isn't going to snow.
Though thunders rattle overhead
And little rivers fill the street;
Though the humidity, 'tis said,
Brings more discomfort than the heat /;
Though drouth asserts itself anew,
Cheer up, because this much you
know:
Whatever else it's going to do,
There's not O chanee that it will snow.

In the boom experienced by Washing
theater business throve
Washington especially. In The Star
Of July 10. 1866. is an
osSAs' item which tells of the
opening OF new playhouse, known as
Walls New Opera House.:
The building so conveniently situ-
ated at the intersection Of 9Th and c
streets and Louisiana avenue has just
been fitted up as an opera house and is
ranged houses in this section of the
country. The interior has been remod-
eled and renovated and now presents a
fine appearance. 1t contains in the par
quette and dress circle and gallery
seats for about 1900 persons: those in
the parquette and dress circle being
finely upholstered and the entire inter-
Tor newly painted and frescoed The
stage is large one and is furnished
with first-class scenery and machinery
ing the Bridge of ST Angelo"
This house later became known as
Ford's Theater, under the management
of John T. Ford, who was compelled to
seek a new place when the government
took possession Of his old theater on
10th street, where President Lincoln
was assassinated
In The Star of a few days later ap-

By-Products
From Coke.

0y-4 AOuuCto
and business experts
From Coke. of the Government
and of which they are willing to admit
that they are proud is the marked in
crease in the production of y-product
coke" To the layman this might seem
a humdrum product to wax enthusi-
astic about, but to the initiated the
statement that there has been an in
crease in by-product coke, or coke from
by-product ovens, is most significant.
1t is from the by-products obtained in
such ovens that are made some of the
things that America has been practi-
cally without as result of war condi-
tions-dyes. chemicals and rare drugs.
In the past most of the coke turned
out in this country has been in the
beehive" ovens from which all of the
priceless potential by-products literal
ly go up In smoke.
Recent compilations by the geological
survey show that more than 100000
tons of by-product coke were produced
in the United States last year. an in
crease of 25 per cent over the preced-
ing twelve months and 10 per cent over
the greatest amount ever before pro-
duced in this country. This Is taken as
significant by the mining experts, for
the total production of coke last year
was not SO great as the record output
of 1913. More than 65 per cent of the
hive ovens. the geological survey finds.
but the percentage is constantly de-
creasing the more scientifically pro-
duced by-product coke increases. Since
the end of last year. the survey has
learned. there have been few, if any,
additions to the beehive ovens, while
a sufficient number of by-product
plants are in process of construction
to add 100000 tons of by-product coke
each month to the country's output.
While the means for giving America
a home supply of materials for manu-
featuring the innumerable coal tar de-
rivatfves are constantly being in
creased. the plants for utilizing these
invaluable raw materials in various
ways are also springing up, 1t is dis
closed by Investigations of the Depart
ment of Commerce and the bureau of
mines. Numerous additional dye plants
are already in operation, turning out
the more usual coloring materials.
while chemists in the la laboratories of
these concerns are patiently working
out processes for producing the rare
colors which now are made only in
Germany.
The dye industry is not the only one
which is being advantaged by the in
creased production of coke by-prod
ucts. Manufacturers of explosives are
making use of tons of the material
and other tons in the form of ammonium
sulphate are being used as fertilizer

tilizer produced at home in large

bringing nation to a
| Children's condition of real pre-
paredness," and this Is
o"'iAse' being recognized by Tn
Gle Sam. whose energies are by no
means centered solely on military prep
aration. Through the bureau of edu-
cation he is advocating the general
adoption of school savings banks, which
are already in existence in more than
300 cities scattered over the country.
and which have been the means of
adding millions of dollars to the ma
tional savings account
In placing the advantages of the
school savings bank before the educa-
| Gators and parents of the country the
bureau of education points out that as
nation Americans are exceedingly
| wasteful. and that while 1t Is well
nigh impossible to overcome this
tendency among adults. BILE
school children can be taught thrift
and economy as easily as they can be
taught grammar and arithmetic. The
plan, as already in use in numerous
schools and as advocated for general
adoption. has more than one aim. 1t
| is designed not only to fnculcate thrift,
but also to teach business methods, to
conserve health by eliminating con-
stant small expenditures for such need
less and unwholesome things as candy,
soft drinks. chewing gum and cigar
cites, and to strengthen character and
moral stamina by encouraging the sac
rifice involved in refusing to satisfy
these petty present desires for the
sake of a future advantage, and by
| arousing and developing individuality
and responsibility
Though the detailed plans followed in
operating school savings banks differ
somewhat in different localities, the
general plan is the same. and involves
cooperation between commercial
bank or banks and the educational
authorities. the teachers acting in most
cases as agents of the bank and col
| lecting the deposits-which may be as
| little as one penny-from the children.
| Careful accounts are kept, and the chill
dren are provided with a pass card.
When their deposits reach certain
| amount. depending on the policy of the
cooperating bank, pass books are Is
sued and the account is segregated to
draw interest.
The aggregate of the school accounts
not large enough for NATURALIZATION
is deposited in the name of the school
principal, and the interest which 1t
draws goes into a school fund which
may be used for various community
aged not to expect their money for
savings to be donated by parents. but
to earn it, The details of the school
savings plan providing for varying re-
sponsibility on the teachers ana chlf-
dren and for different methods of ac-
counting may well be left, the ex-
perts of the bureau of education think,

The bureau of education has traced
the school savings bank to an origin

extensively used until placed in oper-
alton in the schools of Belgium in
