KIND
 OF LAMP NOW
 ON EXHIBITION

On exhibition in the show window of Calderhead's Victrola Shop is an electric lamp stand made from a drawn shell fitting a l-pound gun. The stand is not only beautiful. but very unique for the reason that there is probably but one other piece of work like it in the world. It was made for Mrs. J. H. Caskey by her brother George Penketh who is guar. terman in the boiler department of the United States navy yard at Brem- erton, Washington, and sent in by Mir Caskey when he was returning north from the Outside It's com panion work was made by MT Penk- eth for his own home.
 With the exception of the piece that represents the penetrating part of the shell, the stand is made en- tirly from a shell from one of Uncle Sans big guns. The base on which it stands is fashioned from the breech of the shell, and the three arms which support the lights are made of brass from other shells
 The most wonderful part of the work, however, is the scroll work which ornaments the stand as 1t is. It was all done by the aid of a handmade stencil after the figures had been drawn out on paper. acids being used to remove the brass from around the figures The shell. where the figures do not stand out in re- lief in the original brass, is indented with little holes, numbering in all something like 100000.
 It took considerable time to con- plete the work In fact it shows that it must have been made by man with unlimited patience.

AMAZING STORY OF HOW PROVIDENCE
 JOURNAL DISCOVERED GERMAN PLOTS

in the car, the portfolios were chang ed. This happened on Saturday morning. Albert, in a statement lat, CT. said that he discovered the trick the same day, but We know for a fact that he did not discover the differ, ence until Monday morning. Need less to say, the men who were fight. ing on the street car were also in the employ of the Journal
 Tt was through the Journal, MT. Rathom said, that a great quantity of important papers were secured from Wolf von Igel These papers revealed the Easement plot for the Irish uprising. When the papers were taken, MT Rathom said, in il. frustrating his point that there is a certain amount of stupidity in all German diplomatists. Non Bernstorff made application to the state de partment to have them returned. He was told that any paper he could identify would be returned to him, and then he realized how he had committed himself in asking that the papers be returned
 Aeked Iourp,I StIppreceiop
 Three days before Bernstorff was ordered to return to Germany, MT, Rathom declared, he demanded that the American government suppress the Providence Journal.
 Every statement that we have made in regard to German plots in the United States have been proven to be posivitively true declare Mir Rathom For the first nine or ten months no one believed what We were saying We were shouting against the wind. The dismissal of Doctor Dumba was the first result of our months of effort.
 "'We have not printed one-fiftieth of what we secured but we were very glad, when events turned, to turn the key on the safe in which it is deposited and forget the balance, because the work we tried to do has been accomplished

It's a Great Story.

Its a great story, and greater slII in is hints of what it might be, Here it is:
 The Providence Journal" begins the Editor and Publisher, happened upon its course Of exposure through having had for ten years before the war what other papers described as d bug on wireless telegraphy. The paper had maintained two powerful wireless plants at Point Judith and al Block Island When war broke Q, they Aa decided 10 listen in on the messages crossing the At lanuc. For five months they kept record of these messages, and then .ley set out to find the codes and make revelations Of the material they secured they used only a frac-
 -lal part,
 one cf the newspapers stenogra- phers was sent and secured an ap- pointment in the Austrian consulate .A New Tork. other of its workers were constantly engaged in shadow ing Captain Boy-Ed, Captain von Pa pen, former Austrian Ambassador Dumba, the German Ambassador Berustorf and other German and Austrian officials The two wireless plants increasingly listened in, two shifts of operators at work day and night, on Sayville and Nantucket, the two wireless stations which were being used mostly by the Germans to keep in touch with Berlin, from where they received instructions for every detail of their plotting policy.
 For the United States government the Brooklyn navy yard had instruc- Lons to keep a close watch on the Sayyille and Nantucket stations, but nothing suspicious was ever reported until MT. Rathvon took some of the messages which he had received from his operators to the state depart ment. It was then learned that the navy yard operators had been in the pay of German agents in America, and had been told not to hear too much

Ingenious Codes Used.

The codes used by the Germans were of the most ingenious nature. eJouy of them pretended to be stock a...,ations, and some were even done ID as funeral directions. In some cases, however, the codes showed evidence of the green blubber' re ferred to by the speaker, as on one occasion when MT. Rathvon was able to go to President Wilson and show him copies of eight separate mes sages sent by the wireless plant within nine days, all relating that little Emily" had died of such and such an illness, in a certain part Of d room, had been buried in a certain cemetery beside such and such a previously deceased relative. In ey- CT one of .41se messages the ill 1.ess, the part of the room, the name of the relative, the cemetery, and so on, varied, and clear code was detected in each Of the messages.

 John R.

 The story bristles with dramatic utIe scenes almost unbelievable in humdrum America. There is Bern storfrs confidential secretary at the last moment at Halifax revealing him self at an American. There i. the pretty stenographer who sat on the packing box with Captain yon Papen and made him write the evidence of his own guilt.
 And through it all runs the .rail ol the green bIubber," which IS Mr. Rathyon's word for the strange air holes" in German brains which make them overlook the most obvious things.

.ta.n Boy-EI 10 go to New York and get a suite of six quiet rooms in a hotel where Boy-Ed and his people could meet Huerta. Naturally enough, my man. being loyal, could do noth. ing else than select the rooms We selected for him. so he went to the Manhattan hotel and got a suite of rooms which he riggcd up with the apparatus l spoke of; and, to make assurance doubly sure. I got another man to act as chauffeur on the auto tha, brought Huerta.
 They had their conference, and ar the conclusion of that conference every word that Was uttered uttered through an interpreter because Boy. Ed did not speak Spanish-was sent down 10 the department of state the next morning. They had the entire facts before them and knew every thing, and for several months later, when Boy-Ed and Bernstorff were Irothing at the mouth and uttering denials, the state department had the very words that were uttered
 Romance Among Spies.
 Another incident he continued, that is of great interest came when one Of our valued and Heenest sten- ographers in our own office, d girl that came to us seven years ago from about twenty miles outside of Proyi, dence, was given a position in the office of the Austrian consul general in New York city. She had never been in New York before, but was ahead of d number of people in com petition, and the man choosing the stenographer they wanted Ca capable girl able to do his work and to keep her mouth shuD had been informed that she was the party to choose by other friends of ours. One day about five or six weeks after she got there she informed us that a great packing case was being filled up with propaganda documents and with bills of expense in connection with explosions in mmition plants and other vital and valuable things, and Was to be shipped off the follow ing week right straight to England on Swedish ship and from there to Germany.

Won Papen Flirts.


 The only thing we could possibly do was to identify the package. One day when they were about to close the package up this girl, under in structions-and l may say incident ally she is now back at work get, tirg her $16 a week-sat on this box eating her lunch Nearly everybody else had gone, but Non Papen, rather debonair and fond of ladies, wan dered in and sat on the packing box and asked if he could share her lunch with her. She said certainly, and while they were sharing the sand wiches he maue some sentimental advances and she in rather a dreamy way took out large red pencil and drew two big red hearts on this packing case. Ii was Captain Won Papen himself who put an arrow through them. And, ladies and gen, tIemen, when the ship Austrias Il reached Falmouth they picked that package out of the hold from about hundred and fifty others and identi- fled it by the two big red hearts. And yet they say there are no bril- liant people but the Germans
 Another incident, the loss of a portfolio belonging to Dr. Heinrich Albert, an Austrian official, which contained papers relating to Ambas, sador Dumba's effort to incite labor troubles in the United States, created quite a stir among the diplomats. MT. Rathom told of how a Journal reporter got the papers as the result of which Dumba was sent back to Austria by the President.
 "'One of the Journal reporters had been shadowing Doctor Albert in New York, but for months nothing seemed wrong. One day he went into leather goods store, where he ordered a portfolio and gave the sales man instructions to put his initials on it. The reporter, as soon as Albert had gone out, walked up to the salesman and ordered another portfolio of the same kind, but with no initials, saying he would rather see first how the other gentleman s initials looked. When he came back and saw the iniiatls he said he did not like them and departed to go to another shop and have the same mi tials put on his portfolio. His work was becoming less tiresome and less fruitless than it had been.
 "A day or two later Albert, carry, ing the new portfolio, was followed from the front of his apartments by the Journal man. Albert boarded an elevated train. He placed his bag containing papers on the seat beside him. Suddenly he was stirred by a fight in the front of the car. As he stood up to see what the trouble was. as did nearly everybody else

NAMES GIVEN
 TO STATIONS
 ON RAILROAD
Especial to The CitlZen)

NENANA, Aug. 2.-Deyelopment along the line of what is known as the Fairbanks division of the Alaskan government railroad has now devel- oped far enough to permit the es- tablishment of stations along the line and the naming of the same. In reality the stations in most in stances have not yet been estab- lished, but the places where they will be located have been designated by the commission. Whether or not the names will be retained after the road shall have been completed is a matter of conjecture, but it is sup posed that they will unless towns of considerable size spring up around them and they are changed by the inhabitants. Each station also is des- ignated by number. The names o1 the places and the mile on the rail road where they are located, num- bering from the coast end of the railroad, are as follows:

Local pineapple Gamers have mott.

hours OF girls and young women in
the canneries, the court being Of the
opinion that overtime, caused by the

A case was before juvenile court re-
Gently of young giSl who was get.
ting home from the cannery at various
hours during the night. The court
then began an investigation with a
view to making arrangements to allow
all young girls to leave the canneries
In the evening while it is still light.
Coupled with this was q movement to
prevent the girls from being over
worked. or working too long period.
In both instances the canneries have
offered their cooperation. -,
The girls, althugh. they do not
have to, want to work overtime in
order to make more money" said
the Judge in comment, "and they
want their employers to let them work
long hours. But the court feels that
this should not be allowed to go ont"
Another point brought out in the
recent hearing is that undesirable
Filipinos are in the habit Of hanging
around the canneries at night, and
their presence Is considered by the
court to also be a menace to the girls.

chance in the business world and 4
mans pay, and they don't want to
be treated like a man. They want you
to aIways remember that they are
ladies instead of just cogs in a big
machine for grinding out dollars,
which is all that any business is.
One OF tie chief reasons that wo-
men 50 seldom rise to high places
in business houses is not their lack
of ability, but because they have not
enough sporting blood to stand the
punishment by which a younger man
gets rnauled into the shape in which
he is most useful. BY that i mean
that when | get hold of a promising
boy, I 60 after him with a sledge ham,
mer when he makes mistakes or
shows symptoms of slackness, and II
there is any stamina in him he doesn't
suIk, but learns how to do his work
efficiently, and eventually is worth
good money to himself and the firm.
But when tell my stenographer
that she is bailing up business by
coming to her work an hour late. or
that prefer the spelling Of the late
Noah Webster to her peculiar per-
sonal variety, or that 1t doesn't add
to the credit of business house to
send out smeary and untidy letters,
why she bursts into tears and sobs
out that ] don't treat poor work
ing girl as II she was q lady.
Its easier on the nerves to lire
an incompetent girl than to stand for
her wounded feelings while you are
trying TO teach her, and that's where
the young business woman loses out,
through not having the sporting spirit
-one Of the most valuable assets
that her brother has. 80. 49,.
And fits Women's lack Of gameness
that's at the bottom OF half Of the
domestic misery In the world. Sta
tistics show that more than three
fourths Of the divorces are asked Tor
by women. This Is not because men
make so much worse husbands than
women make wives, but because the
average man is q pretty good loser,
and the average woman is q bad loser.
'There are just as many men who
have made fatal mistakes In their
choice of a life partner as there are
women. There are Just as many men
TO women who do not under
stand them, women who make their
lives unbearable by temper or nag
ging, women who are lazy and shift
less and extravagant as there are
women married to men who are
brutes, but the man generally shuts
his teeth on his misery and bears 1t,
while the woman tells her troubles
10 all who win listen or goes with
them to the divorce court.

| And look at the way women plunge
in matrimony, and the way they bach
out Of their bargains when they gel
just exactly what was coming to them
There are the women who fall In
love with poor men and who marry
them knowing perfectly we'll how Lit
tie the men earn. But is such a wo
man game enough to accept her man
on the plane on which she married
him and go cheerfully to work to dc
her own cooking and Homework and
be perfectly happy though wearing q
last years suit and riding in the street
cars?
Not once in a blue moon. She
frets and fumes because she can't
have Paris gowns and motor cars like
her rich acquaintance have, and nags
the poor fellow because he don't
know how to make money, which lie
paying the matrimonial game pretty
low down, in my opinion.
Consider also the women who de-
Eberately pick out drunkards for hus-
bands and then consider themselves
poor prosecuted martyrs when their
spouses come home intoxicated. If
/ were a woman who married a man
who l knew drank, I'd be sport
enough never to say word to him
in reproach, and I'd spend my time
applying wet cloths to his feVered
brow and mixing him bromo settlers.
And there are the women who are
married to good, ordinary fellows, the
sort of men who are working like
slaves, trying to do the very best that
is in them for their families, but who
have all the heart and courage In
them taken out by the ceaseless com.
plants and whines of their wives over
the hardships Of their lives. These
women could change their husbands
from failure to success, and their
homes from places of torment and
gloom to sunshine and happiness II
they only had enough spirit to buck
up and take a fighting chance at life.
"of course there are exceptions to
all rules. There are many women who
are game to the core; women who
take their chance and lose and pay;
women who marry worthless black
guards and stand by them to the bit
ter end without a complaint ever
crossing their lips.
And when you find a woman like
this with sporting blood in her veins,
YOU have found the superwoman."
