FRENCH BUILD THE
GREATEST TUNNEL

With the greatest war in history or
their hands, the French have found
time and resource to continue their
work on the great commercial canal
which will connect the port of Mar
settles with the Rhone River. In the
course of this construction they have
found it necessary to complete the
greatest tunnel ever driven for the pas
sage of the canal at one point. The
tunnel is four and a half miles long.
and the material removed was much
greater in quantity than would be the
case with a similar railroad tunnel.
More rock was removed than from any
two of the tunnels which pierce the
Alps. The canal will not be completed
for some time, but the tunnel has been
successfully finished

RUSSIAN SYMPHONY oRcHES-
IRA AT LEXINGTON.

The Russian Symphony Orchestra.
Modest Altschuler, conductor; Ber-
nard Altchuler, cello soloist, and
Michel Cushion, violinist, will be
heard in a great festival of music at
the Lexington Opera House in two
performances, afternoon and evening
of March 20. This great body of mu-
sicians and their wonderful conductor
have been having the most phenome-
nal success on their present spring
tour. and the review from the Dayton
Journal, after their performance in
that city, says:
There was no neutrality, armed or
otherwise, on the stage at the Victo-
ria Theater last night when Modest
Altschuler and the Russian Symphony
Orchestra gave an all-Russian pro-
gram. 1t was all-Russian up to the last
two minutes Of the Concert-bleeding
sorrow-ridden Russia, Borrowing and Ia
menting. Then came two minutes
which the audience will never forget
two minutes in which Zangwill's Melt
ing Pot was depicted by thobbinG
strings, crashing brasses and vibrant
reeds. In a word, Altschuler gave his
men a signal and they turned from the
fiercely wild 'Marche Slav' to the soul
stirring strains of The Star Spangled
Banner AS one man, the orchestra
and audience arose. A gesture from
Altschuler signaled his hearers, We
Are All Americans Now and the au-
dience broke forth into the nations
anthem. To the everlasting credit of
Dayton, let it be recorded that the big
chorus not only knew the words, but
sang them with fervOr that reverber
ated in thrilling rivalry with the roll.

Only a few moments before the con-

Drised that the Car had abdicated
The news fairly electrified the players
and it is doubtful whether those pres

in years hear the music played with
the zest and fervor which character
lied the program. TschaikOwsh
great Pathetique Symphony was the
chief piece CT the evening. Needless
to say it's production was a marvel Of

YES! LIFT a CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN:
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to
Dry Up a Corn or CaIious So X
Lifts Off With Fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of Freezone applied directly on
a tender, aching corn or callous, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callous loOsens so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of Freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callous. This should be tried, as
it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any Freezonc
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts Ike a charm every
time. (adv)

it may be clear that a man owes =
perfectly just debt. Yet if the deb;
has passed beyond the statute OF linn.
itations, the lawyers would probably
fight the case, and do their. best to
save the client from payment of the
debt. 1t may be legally right, but if
the defendant escapes payment of a
just debt, has not a moral wrong
been committed? There are thous-
ands of cases where it seems to the
layman, as it did to the speaker who
addressed the Bar Association, thai
law needs adjustment to the condi
tons of modern life.
Some people say lawyers as class
are dishonest. Yet for every tricky
lawyer there is rascally client. Law
yers see so much of the crookedness
of life that it is a constant temptation
to fight fire with fire.

Spanish War Lesson.

What is the grave danger that has
forced us to adopt the espionage

and continues: Let us recall a bit ri
our Spanish War history. Without as
sured command of the sea, we made
our plans TO throw an army Of some
5000 men into Cuba, defended b.
$4,000 Spanish soldiers, most OF
whom were regulars, seasoned and ac-
climated. From a conventional mill
tary point of view, the enterprise was
bold gamble, that could be expected
TO succeed only if executed as a sur
prise attack. But no sOore- had we
decided upon the Cuban campaign
than our press began TO publish in de-
tail the facts pertaining to the number
of our troops. their equipment, their
movement to the point of embarkation.
and even the probable points of at
tack. All this information was prompt,

We went lion-hunting with bows and
arrows and a brass band. By our luck.
not our merit, the lion proved to be on
his last legs, stricken by maladies we
knew nothing of. Our next enemy is

to avail himself of information freely
offered by a press preferring circula-
ton to the success IF the nations un

ChiIdren's Gardens.

The child garden movement that
has been started in so many places
was for a time something of a joke
The children may have planted the
vegetables and flowers. But me par
ents bought the fertilizer, had the
ground spaded up, and were apt to d.
most of the wedding. Afterward they
were supposed to pay the youngsters
for the vegetables thus produced.
Long lists of prizes awarded TO
children for garden work are now ap
pearing in many Of the newspapers
One such list now at hand names one
child of four as receiving a prize fOT
several varieties of flowers.
An agricultural college expert a
few days ago went through the chill
dren's gardens in town Of some 1000
people. He gave a hasty glance to
perhaps half the plots, and remarked
that those he had seen contained
products worth at least $1,000. Evi-
IDENTIFY when the fall harvest is COM
pleted. these youngsters had added
several thousand dollars to the wealth
of that town. 1t was done out Of
time previously spent at aimless plays.
1t is a joke no longer.
The American boy is not trained to
work. He resents regular tasks. If
compelled to hoe up weeds while hear
ing the yells of the neighboTing boys
over in the back lot, his soul revolts
at the gross injustice of the world
and the heartless cruelty of parents.
But the modern American child is q
pretty mature little creature. He :
perfectly capable OF raising a profita-
BILE garden if he wants TO. There ara
good many boys to-day taking cattle
shows and county fair and school
prizes for amounts Of vegetables rails
ed the past summer running up into
the hundreds of dollars.
The garden movement has made
much better progress since the govern
ment and State experts conceived the
idea of organizing the youngsters into
clubs. A boy does what his gang
does. If his mates decide that raising
the biggest pumpkin is just as good
fun as knocking the longest three-bas
ger, he wants to take hand in the
game.

PEPPER AND SALT
HIGH COST NEXT.

Diners at New York hotels may

condiments as we'll as for their butter
and bread. The heads of twenty of
New York's uptown hotels are consid-
ering putting a charge on these hith-
erto free accessories to the meal.
Some of the hotel owners said they
must put charge on the use Of pep.
per and salt, saying their expenses
were increasing so fast that such z
move was necessary. The hotels have
been charging for bread and butter
for several months.
Action on the latest increase in the
price of meals was deferred a week.
but the hotel men predict the addi-
tional cherges will be levied.
