1.-THE higher up he is the more de-

ability to promote wisely, and at the

grasp Of things to have made great de-

TROOPS PATROL LEXINGTON
TO END RACE RIOTS.

Lexington, KY, Especial. IT h e
streets of Lexington are being patrol
led by armed mounted and foot SOL
diers of the Kentucky national guard,
following a series of outbreaks in the
principal streets here between Negroes
and soldiers. The town is quiet but
suppressed excitement and i'll feeling
is apparent, and threats of further
trouble are heard. The authorities be-
lieve they have the situation in hand.
The street fighting was the culmin-
alton of series of disorders between
soldiers camped at thel edge of the
city and Negros who have been flock
ing to Lexington during the week
from the A. and M. Colored fair, near
by. One Negro was taken to the hos

least nine other blacks received lesser
injuries. The soldiers escaped with

Fire and Water.

Why does WAFER put out fire? This
Is at first puzzling question, because
back In your mind is the thought that,
since hydrogen and oxygen are neces-
sary to make a fire burn, 1t seems
strange that water, which Is composed
of oxygen and hydrogen, will also put
1t out.
A burning Gre throws or heat, but Il
too much OF the heat is taken from the
fire suddenly the temperature Of the
fire is sent down so far belox the
point at which the oxygen of the air
win combine with it that the fire can
not burn, says the Book Of Wonders.
We speak commonly as though water
thrown on a fire browns 1t. That Is
practically what happens. Scientih-
cally what happens is that the water
thrown upon the fire absorbs 50 much
Of the heat to itself that the tempera-
ture Of the fire is reduced below the
point where oxygen win combine with
the carbon In the burning material and
the fire goes out.

Dies Three Days After Telling Proph-

Marshfeld, Wis.-In a letter received
by Miss Anna Urbanus from her sister
in Reform, Ala, she tells Of a queer
case Of a child, aged seven, which has
bearing on the present war. Up to
date the child never spoke a word until
one day when the mother broke a dish
the child exclaimed, you broke one
dish!'
Then he was again mute. The father
then broke a dish to see II the child
would speak again, and this time he
said, 1.-Two dishes are broke"
A doctor decided to break dish also.
The child exclaimed, Three dishes
are broken and I am going to die In
three days, and the war will end In
three months"
The boy died on the third day, and.
according to the letter, the citizens Of
Reform are eagerly awaiting for the
three months to elapse.

by Teuton submarines. More recent
arrivals in the prison camps had served
as gun crews, since the arming Of our
merchant ships.
Speedy provisions for their relief and
for those who may be taken prisoner Is
necessitated by the German policy Of
giving their prisoners Of war food to-
tally inadequate to keep men in good
health. The extremely high death rate

Women come into this court and lie

lying just by watching their faces.
But you can't tell 1t on a woman.
They lie outrageously and stick to

1t will be what the Greeks named
it countless centuries ago, the noble

With the prolongation Of the war
and the increasing emission Of paper
currency by the European belligerents,
silver has correspondingly risen in
value. The rise Is significant In sew
eral respects. What it suggests chief
ly IL the general reconciliation Of
silver after peace WIN have been con-
cluded.
This Of course will ease and level the
purchasing power Of nations.
To America the prospect Is not
alarming. With silver the United
States Is supplemented and unmin-
ed. In consequence the far west should
flourish a. of yore. Palatial hotels
should multiply again in Colorado. Sill
yer cupolas should again glisten in the
Nevada sunlight. Copper coins should
disappear from California. Denver
should witness the reverse Of what she
saw when the silver purchase act was
annulled, should people from every
