USED AS EDUCATIONAL AIDS
Moving Pictures Are Being Put to an
Extremely Practical and
Valuable Use.

The growing adaptation of NOV
ing pictures to social and educational
uses is illustrated by the films which
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany is sending out as part of its
safety campaign.
The first film, "The Price Of
Thoughtlessness," has had so good an
effect that a second, "The Cost of
Carelessness," has just been pre-
pared, showing safety patrols at
work and following children from
the school to the playground, with
incidental encounters with trolley
cars and automobiles on the way.
There is a real thriller for the eli
max, when a trolley car runs into
and smashes g recklessly-driven au-
tomobile, a "stunt" which cost the
price of a secondhand limousine and
considerable risk on the part of the
chauffeur and the trolley conductor.
Some of our rural exchanges note the
use of moving pictures for teaching
geography and in prohibition and
other social campaigns. The time is
coming nearer for the fulfllment of
Edison's prophecy, that films would
yet be used in the schools as short
cuts in teaching geography and his
tory. The professional films have
long taught history as it runs, week
by week, and from that to the incor-
poration of the movies as a recog-
nized adjunct to education the step is
not long.-Brooklyn Eagle. .

An Ideal of Boyhood.

The following article, written by Samuel G. Blythe in the Satur-
day Evening Post, shows what that eminent authority thinks of SEN
aor Clark:
GLOW few of Is achieve our early ambitions-how few! Con-
spicuous among the disappointed many is Clarence d. Clark. When
he was a young man he longe6 to be a brakeman on a freight train,
with the ultimate idea of it might be, rising to be a conductor. In
his youth he ardenty desired to help convoy box cars up and down
the Burlington road.
"He couldn't make it. The trainmaster wouldn't have it,
What! scofed that potentate-you a brakeman Nothing to it son;
nothing to it at all! 1t takes brains to be a brakeman. You would
MT make in a thousand years. Lay off that stuff, boy, and go
back to the farm"
sit is not too much to say that Clarence D. Clark as bitterly
disappointed. He saw stretching before him a future devoid of long
nights of hopping off and on ice coated trains; a future minus op-
portunItes to squash off fingers when throwing in coupling pins; Il
future that had no ray of hope of flying switches made by him, or of
twenty-scven carsp piled up in a ditch because he hadn't pulled a
switch all the way over.
Ut was cruel! Crushed, thwared, desperate, he saw no alterna.
NV h to become a United States Senator, and he became one.
Likewise he has been ont. for twenty years. And it is probable that
Darius Miller ls mighty glad that trainmsster didn't give Clarence
the Job, for if Clarence had been Is useful as a brakeman s. he has
al a senator, likely Is not he would now have Darius Job and be
president of the road.
But even to this day the Senator feels that a great railroad
genius was nlpped in the bud. Why, it is within the possibilities
that If he had attained his desire he might now be under investiga-
ton by the Senate instead of doing the investigating You never

WHERE HEARING CEASES.

Experiments have been made
showing, it is said, that a vibration
of sound having an amplitude of less
than one twelve-millionth of a cent?
meter could still affect the sense of
hearing. Such a vibration would be
so short that it would have to be en-
larged one hundred times before the
most powerful microscope could rem
der it visible, supposing that it were
susceptible of being seen at all. Aged
persons, it is said, do not hear high
notes which are audible to young peo-
pie, and there is reason to believe
that babies hear notes inaudible to
their elders.

That Primary Election Law.

some comment is being passed at this time respecting the pri-
mary We have our own opinion about that lovely primary, our
" mites selves, and If we stated our full feeling on the matter,
there Is good reason to believe that Uncle Sam would not want to
carry our paper through the mails for fear of communicating the bal
ance of the matter.
We don't know what kind of liquor a man would have to drink
10 make himself believe that this primary is anything but a one-sided
make-shltt for securing candidates for the general election We
nope that the next Legislature will repeal it by a unanimous vote.
All these nw tangled ideas, such at the primary, the initiative and
referendum and recall, should have a bounty nut on the heads of
those who dare to advocate them in future.
VII hughes Is certainly a very disturbing element in the diges,
ton OF the Democratic editors. 1t is certainly amusing to hear them
cough and spit and stew. 1t takes a bitter pill to make a Democrat

NODANGEROUS
BOMBS IN THE
APPAM
Prize Commander Says That
Nearby Shipping Is Not
Immediately Menaced
e AssocrATEp PREaa.

Newport News, Va, Feb. 5.-There
are no explosives on board the cap
tured British liner Appam, held in
this port by German prize crew,
that would endanger shipping in this
harbor in the even of an accidental
or premeditated discharge. Lieuten-
ant Berg, the prize commander, gave
this assurance to Collector of Gus
toms Norman R. Hamilton this morn
ing. When the commander came
ashore to DISCUSS with the collector
minor details with regard to permits
sion for the loading Of food supplies
and medicines.
Lieutenant Berg did not say, how
ever, that the explosives aboard the
liner were not sufficiently powerful
to destroy the ship, if it should be de-
cided to blow her up.
At noon Lieutenant Berg and Ger
man Vice Consul Won Schilling called
at Collector Hamilton's Office for an
other conference on minor, though
necessary details in connection with
the Appam.
Several of the seven German SOL
diers from West Africa who were
found prisoners aboard the ,Appam at
the time of her capture, have deveI-
oped mild cases of malaria, the lieu
tenant told the collector this morn
ing, and it was for them that he
asked permission to procure medi-
cines. Mr.. Hamilton asked the CON-
mander if he dseired to send any Of
them to a hospital and he did not
think it necessary for the present
Collector Hamilton today forward.
ed to the secretary of the treasury
another voluminous report on the APP
pam. case, covering yesterdays de-
velopments in fifteen typewritten
pages.
The general situation with regard
to the Appam quieted down notably
today. IF there has been any fric-
ton between Commander Berg and
the united States officials, it no
longer exists. The lieutenant now is
thoroughly satisfied with American
neutrality, and today he personally
expressed to Collector Hamilton his
appreciation for the uniform courte-
sizes eand friendly assistance rendered
him during the past two days.

Arkansas Fears Break of

Suffering
THOUSANDS ARE
DRIVEN FROM HOMES
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Arkansas City, Ark, February S.
Scorea Of small villages have been en-
quilted, approximately one hundred
thousand acres Of farm lands are IN
der water, Clarendon, McGNhee and
Lakeville are flooded and further
threatened with weakening levees and
this city fearing break of the Chicot
lake pike, which means disaster here,
tells the story of one of the worst
floods in the history of southeastern
Arkansas. -
Hundreds4sof refugees are here and
Lakeville reports several thousand
driven out by the Chicot county
floods, gathered on the highlands near
there In need of food. All the Mis-
sissippi levees are still holding.
Weather bureau warnings were
sent to Clarendon, on the White river
today, advising the removal of all per-
sons and livestock from the town. A
stage of 3S feet at Clarendon by Feb
ruary 8 was predicted, with the river
standing at S4.4 this morning, rise
of 81 feet in twenty-four hours.
Back water was reported falling at
Warner today, where hundreds of ref
1gees have sought shelter. Grady re-
ported seven feet Of water in the
streets Of that town and the drown
ing Of one negro.
DR.. @. c.. Price, engineer of the
Binwood- Auburn levee district, who
reached Pine Bluff today, told an in
teresting story of the manner in which
the state convicts, nearly 800 of them,
were handled in the flood at Cum
minis, which for a time threatened to
drown more than 400 Of them. When
it was learned at. the farm that the
levees would not hold, orders were
given for the negroes to move. A
dry floor appealed more to the blacks,
however, than thoughts of safety and
they openly rebelled. Clubs and
straps were used by the few white
men left on the farm. During the
transfer a white guard fell into the
water. This further increased the
fears of the negroes. After several
hours Of strenuous coercion the blacks
were driven from the stockade 10 the
top of the levee.

Dixieland for Visit

Washington, Feb. 5.-While tele-
grams and letters of congratuIation
on his middle western preparedness
trip continued arriving at the White
House, President Wilson was con-
sidering another trip-this time to
the south and possibly some far west
ern cities. The possibilities OF the
Lusitania situation, It was said, Of
.fered the only obstacle likely 70 in
fluence him against such a program.
It is known that the presidents ad-
visers have told him there was need in
the south for a special effort for pre-
paredness and invitations have come
to the president to visit Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Texas.
Additional invitations for President
Wilson to visit cities in the south ar
rived at the White House today in
large numbers. Governor Harris tel
egraphed asking him to go to Geor-
gia; Senator James invited him to
Paducah and Louisville, KY, and SEN
ator Sheppard urged him to visit Dali
las, Galveston and other points IN
Texas.
