PEKING, June 8.-The Stanadar Oil Company has withdrawn all it's pros pectors and equipment from Shensi province and has definitely abandoned the boring of wells in search of oil. The last of it's drilling crew has re- turned to Peking, and will sail for the United States in a few days.
 While there is still a possibility that the Standard Oil Company and the Chi nese government may reach an agree nent to conduct some further prospec- ting work some time in the future, there is believed to be little likelihood hat such action will be taken soon.
 No announcement has been made as to the success the American company has had in its exploitation work, but it is reported that the results of the drilling were disappointing.

TRUTHFUL PUBLICITY
 WILL SAVE NATION

Much is written relative to blue sky laws and the ade- quate protection of investors, but the real solution of the problem is, in proper publici- ty. Legislators may pass the laws requiring certain reports from the companies engaged in the sale of securities; they may refuse outright to grant charters to business aSSocia- tionS, and there are many ways in which the state could make the promoters of com panieS realize their public re- sponSibility. Still all of these are not sufficient to provide the means of enlightening the people so that they may use their own judgment with re- spect to their financial trans actions.
 Abraham Lincoln is report ed to have said tell the peo- pIe the truth and the nation is saved" and nothing is truer than this of our mining in Arizona. Mining all over the state is being boosted and boomed, but it is boosted on truthful statements; it has been realized by the people in the state the harm that comes from untruthful boom ing.
 The question does not lie with the legislators entirely, but lies in the education of the people as to the proper analysis of the stocks they buy or the investments they make. If it is necessary to have laws for the protection of investors, let them deal specifically with the reSponsi- bility of the organization to- wards the state in the char tering of it.

BERLIN, June S.-A mother who gives birth to twins, or to triplets, in Germany is entitled not only to the nursing money" and the "weekly war assistance" which the government pro- vides for its needy women, but may collect the prescribed sum in duplicate or triplicate according to the number of children born, according to a ruling established by the Imeprial Insurance Bureau
 The decision was the outcome of a suit of a Berlin woman, who, giving birth to twins, was refused nursing money and the weekly war allowance 'or more than one child The insu.r ance branch bureau in her district held that the law permitted only one payment regardless of the number o1 children born.

STRATFORDON-AVON, June s. Shakespeare's birthplace was visited by only 23,OOO persons during the past year as compared with 97,000 in the preceding year, and approximately 5O,- 900 in years of peace.
 The diminution of visitors from America was most marked, only 254 having signed the register album as against 5000 the year preceding and an average of over 11,000 during the five years prior to the war. The pres sure of the war also brought about a reduction in the number of admission s to Anne Hathaway's cottage and New Place
 The trustees of Shakespeare's birth place at their annual meeting elected the Earl ot Plymouth life trustee in place of the late Lord Ronald Suther- land-Gower
 Sir Sidney Lee, who presided, eX- pressed the confident anticipation that American visitors would come in their ordinary numbers when the war was over.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

oy local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi- ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta- chian Tube. When this tube is infianI-d you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the in f1ammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an inf1amed condl- tion of the mucous surfaces.

THE USE OF NAVAL
 GUNS ON SHORE
Associated Press1

PARIS. June S.-The use of naval guns ashore in the present war, 1t IS pointed out by naval expert, is not a mere expedient, resulting from acci- dental or incidental circumstances, but as a well defined reason in the greater initial speed of the projectile of a naval gun and the consequently longer range than that of field artillery. The new services they render are due to the aeroplane which gives the gunner on land longer ranges of fire than he used to get.
 The 15-inch naval guns with which the Germans occasionally lombard Dunkirk and Nancy are believed to be from the ships lying idle in the Kiel canal. They are utilized because they carry farther than the big mortars.
 The type of the naval guns would have been more commonly used on land for field work had it not been so much heavier and more difficult to manipulate than the shorter range field and siege guns. Seven inch to eight inch naval pieces may be mount ed on railroad trucks, but the recoil of the lrager calibres is so violent as to require a solid concrete founda' tion.

VIRGINIA PEARSON HELD EVERY

Those folks from Kentuck certainly are some people. Virginia Pearson, the handsome William Fox star, proves the assertion.
 When old Colonel Pearson trained his beautiful Virginia, back home in Louisville, he taught the girl all the things a bright beauty who was going to set out to conquer ought to know.
 This may constitute case of lese majesty in Kentucky, but the only real Kentucky institution in which Vir- ginia Pearson takes no interest and for which she has no liking is the mint tulip.
 Colonel Pearson made his big, love ly daughter a skilled horse-woman, a painter and singer of much capacity. He taught her a creed of beauty and of admiration for the beautiful.

Can Play Poker, Butt


 He also taught Virginia to play a good, brisk game of poker. In the course of time poker became no long CT fashionable and whist and bridge whist became the approved forms of card-playing. It is about bridge whist that you are now to be told.
 Card players, who are fond of bridge or whist, will appreciate the extra ordinary hand held by Miss Pearson during a recent game held at her home in Fort Lee, N. J.
 Miss Pearson and three friends were playing bridge. They were using two packs of cards and had been playing about two hours, when Miss Pearson, on looking at her hand was surprised to find that she held thirteen cards of the same suit-hearts. Her part ner on looking at his hand was sur prised to find that it contained twelve of the diamont suite.
 The hands were not played, as the extraordinary combinations caused too much talk They were so interested that inquiries were started to ascer- tain whether or not such other hands had ever been known.
 Research revealed the authenticated fact that in the military cantonment of Jubulpore, East Indies, in 1863, four British officers of the Ninety first Foot had almost a similar ex- perience. The game was written up and each officer signed the statement certifying as to it's correctenss.
 The cards they used on this occa- sion had been played with before and had been shuffled and cut in the usual way. When all the fifty-two cards had been dealt and hands looked at the combinations astonished the play CTS

A Remarkable Hand

The dealer had all the thirteen trumps (spades); his partner had elev- en clubs; his antagonist on the left had twelve hearts and on his right were twelve diamonds. That the dealers hand should contain thirteen trumps is extraordinary enough, but the marvel is increased by the fact that each of the other three hands should be made up so nearly of one suite only. This combination of i'm probabilities is so extraordinary as to make the possibility of such a phe- nomenon occurring again in actual play almost unheard of.
 A less authenticated story was found in which a dealer had all thirteen of the trumps, the presumption being that he took every trick, yet this is not true
 The dealer according to the story, trumped his partners ace, which started a row and the holder of the trump suite was thrown out of a win dow
 Richard A. Proctor, a famous math- ematician, has figured out that the pos abilities of one of four players holding the entire trump suit at whist is as one hundred and sixty thousand mil ions to one.
 The investigations conducted by Miss Pearson's friends revealed an other curious freak ill whist. This case is apparently well atested. It was that of one suite, spades, coming up as trumps thirteen times in success sion. It was noticed because one play. CT had an idea that he was unlucky with a spade trump, and was so i'm pressed as the spade turned repeated ,y that he called the attention of the othr players to the number of times it was recurring.
 This case is accepted by Mr. Proc tor, who computed the OddS aSalnSt such repetition as being more than 3O,OOO,OOO to one
 More extraordinary, however, are the odds figured by MT. Proctor against a dealer and partner holding all of the twenty-six red cards and theih opponents all twenty-six of the against this are SOO,OOO,0O0, 0,000,000 tc 1, yet in the hand played at Miss Pear sons home, she and her partner held all the red cards with the exception ot one-the seven of diamonds.
 Miss Pearson has preserved the cards with which this most extraor dinary game was played and will use it as a decoration in her card room
