Wears Same Garment
Five Years.

Because of lack of training,
the Arabiansare extremely poor, !"
said DR.. Paul W. Harrison. re-
Gently a medical missionary in
Arabia;7 who spoke in the chapel
Of the Ohio State University We'd
nesday. Il have been told," DR..
Harrison continued, ''of one Be-
douin who wore one garment for
five years, and when it began to
drop off he bought a new one,
but put it on without removing
the old one."
The Arabians, according to the
speaker, are by no means an infer
ior race, but lack of opportunity
has handicapped them. For this
reason, it was shown, missionary
workers in this field were neces-
sary.
In discussing the character of
the country, DR.. Harrison went
on to say that the seasons are de-
termined by the great numbers
of insects which prevail at differ
ent times. The fly season comes
first, during which time the flies
are so thick that more can be
found on one square foot than
can be found anywhere else on
four square feet. The following
season is marked by the coming
of the fieas.
The Arab in spite of his many
inconvenience remains cheerful,
and even the poorest of then
feels a contempt for other men,
whom he regards as inideIs.

washlnuton,s Bio Saving.

The state of Washington is figuring
her savings under prohibition. Under
license the drink bill of the state was
estimated at $2,75O,OOO a month. Per.
mits to import liquor for personal use
are issued under prohibition. In Jan.
Lary of this year 3,777 of such per-
1,its were issued. In the full quantity
md the maximum cost these permits
involved the expenditure of $4,000, or
less than half of l per cent Of the
amount paid for liquor under license.
No wonder the people of Washington
are delighted with the big saving.

New York.-(Special. )-Following
the action of the National Liquor Deal

ture industry untruthfully magnifies
barroom scenes, thus prejudicing its
patrons against the liquor traffic IL
quor journals have opened fire on the
movies for what is termed their injus-
tice to the saloon interests. The
Photoplay Magazine for May comes
back with this shot, which staggers
the whole liquor camp:
1--WE hereby offer to run set Of pic
lures fully descriptive of any big
thoughts, high ideals. public spirited
actions, or types of splendid manhood,
which the saloon business, may have
evolved or will evolve"

titled Tell MotherI'll Be There,
in a very impressive manner and
many were the tears shed by the

the thought expressed in the pa
rer read on the subject, Moth
ers as Home Makers. " The spea-
ker emphasized the fact that the
mother is the greatest factor in
the home life. She alone can
create and formulate the atmos-
'phere of the home. What is home
without a mother? What a bles-
sing it would be to the world to-
day if all womankind could real
ize the responsibilities and duties
resting upon them. But it is a
sad fact that there are many wo-
men in this age who do not COM
prehend the great purposes OF an
all wise Creator, or at least their
actions and mode of life do not
correspond to the thought.
The rubber flip-jack in the
hands of the small boy is becom-
ing somewhat of a nuisance and
we think ought to be dispensed
with before something serious
takes place.

A second vessel. also for a Nor

Der. The remaining two steamships
now under construction are for de-
livery in 1917. This company has con-
tracts for fourteen ships in all, with
total cargo tonnage of 132,25O.

WOULD CONVERT TROLLEY

Residents of the section bordering
on both sides Of the Pine street bridge
are protesting because the Whining
ton and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany is dismantling it. The bridge
has been in use either for trolleys or
for pedestrians for many years and
now the traction company has no
further use for It. Before the merger
of the Peoples Line and the Whining

pany the cars we're routed that. way,
but since the merger the Eastlake car
is now on the Washington street line
and the Market street cars take care
of the other section.
The work of tearing up the plank
ing is now we'll along, but the resi-
dents of the section hope to get some
action by the Levy Court Commission
ers before the steel work of the bridge
is removed. A committee will 60 be-
