FATALITY IN A WORD.
Why France Changed the Name Of tho
"Life Saving Belt"

"lIfe Saving Belt"
A vivid illustration of the power Of
mere words over human beings was
once brought to the attention Of French
people by Francisque Sarcey.
After the wreck of the Dourgogne
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life preservers on. These
life preservers were fastened upon the
bodies, but round the middle instead
Of under the arms, and the greater
weight Of the upper part of the body
had tipped the head under water and
the person of course was inevitably
drowned.
Now it appears that the greater num-
Der Of the persons so drowned were
French. The French term for life pre-
server is ceinture de sauvctage or life
saving belt" This word ceinture sug.
gests to the mind in its moments of
disorder and unreadiness. such as a
great catastrophe brings, the idea Of
putting ON belt, and as a belt is put
round the waist and nowhere else the
frightened person instinctively adjusts
the life preserver close about the hips.
The result is that as soon us the
person so provided falls into the water
his body tips over, with the heavier
part downward, and the head is plung.
ed beneath the surface.
The word belt" therefore, was the
cause Of the loss of many lives in the
Bourgogne disaster. Sarcey according
ly proposed to counteract the fatal ef-
feet Of the French word by remaining
the article and calling it brassiere,
which is kind of waist, and by bring
ing the word bras, or arm, to mind to
teach people to put a life preserver on
just underneath the arms.

ATHLETIC ASSN. PLAY, "Cu-
P|D At VASSAR', , MADE HIT

On Thursday evening the
Hope High School Athletic
Assn presented their play to a
good sized audience. The title
of their production this year
was Cupid at Vassar", the
story dealing with the chief
events in the lives of two young
ladies who are attending this
popular ladies' school. The
events are Influenced through
the rascality of the villain but
before the final curtain every.
thing works out very happily.
The parts of the leading young
ladies were taken by the Misses
Mary Helen Cassell, as Kate
Carol, and June Fuller, as Wan
da, Kate's half-sister. They
surmounted the difficulties of
leading parts and presented the
characters very effectively Rus
sell Mcclellan as the hero and
Percy Olson as the villain mot
deep dyed, but just starting)
handled their parts with care
hut with freedom that would
have done justice to more ex.
perienced personators. In the
comedy roles, Francis Fulmer
as shiny, the lazy darkey, and
Howard Reynolds as Hank, /,
the unsophisticated hired man,
both made decided hits with the
audience. Viola Olson portrayed
the part of the matron of the
girls dormitory with a dignity
not to be surpassed by one OF
these ladies in real life. The
Misses Nellie Lunding, as Kate's
roommate, and Ruth Lathrop, as
the freshman, we're both very
good. The Misses Grace Ericlz
son, Pauline Rickard, Lucens
Fuller, Wava Plaine, Dorothy
Hanson, Gertrude Roney anc
Ruth Smith made as pretty {
group of college girls as can be
found at any institution of learn
ing in the country. Miss Rutl
Cummings directed the play anc
is to be congratulated on it's sue
cess.
The association netted a nea

All along the great Roman roads sta

or six miles from one another. At
each Of these stations forty horses
were constantly maintained, and by
the help of relays it was easy to travel
100 miles in day.
These services were intended for the
state only, it being imperative to Sc

happily oblivious to inconven

FIRE DESTROYED C. H.
CARPENTERS BIG BARN
Forty-one Head Of Live Stock, Thirty Tons
Of Hay, 1000 Bushels Of Feed, Har-
ness, etc., Laid Waste by Flames.


Shortly after midnight Satur-
day fire was discovered leaping
from the roof of the big barn on
the G. H. Carpenter farm.
George Carpenter, who made
the discovery, gave the alarm
and rushed out to save what he
could and succeeded in bringing
out eighteen head of horses be-
fore the flames drove him out
and in the meantime the hired
man had succeeded in drying
out twenty three head of young
stock, including six mich COWS
and the full blood bull.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Carpenter
had been to Hope for the even
ing and left for home about elev-
en- O'Clock. On arriving home
George put the team away and
noticed nothing out of the way
in the barn and then went to the
house and partook of a lunch
which his wife had prepared
He then went to the window for
his pipe and on looking out saw
flames leaping from Che roof OF
the barn just before he got tC
the barn the rope which held
the big door Of the hay'oft in
place burned and the door fell
'artly covering the entrance t.
the barn and it was necessary tC
hold this up every time he bro,

he could probably lave saved
several more head. AS soon a.
the hired man could get into his
clothes he did what lie could tC
help and save the cattle Mr.
Carpenter did not carry greas
amount of insurance. having
a out S21C0 on the property
which was destroyed.
AS to the cause nf the fire
nothing definite is known. Many
are of the opinion that it was
the work of some ruthless per-
son who has a mania for fires
another fire having occurred un.
der similar conditions last fal
at the Flickinger farm near Col
gate. 1t is doubtful, however
if anything can be found to sub
stantiate these theories but i!
there really is a frebug in this
com munity we warrant that he
will receive little consideration
if he is caught. No possible
reason can be found for anyone
setting fire to the barn unless
the person is mentally unbal
anced.
The stock which was saved
was brought to Hope Sunday
morning and placed in Sprouts
livery barn until arrangements
can be made to care for it on the
place again.
Mr.. Carpenter has the sympa
thy of the community in his
loss and especially so from the
fact that his driving team O.

felt safe in driving, were among

 Your attention has before this been called to the provisions of section 40 of the registration regulations which make it the duty of your board to use every reasonable effort to find persons who have failed to register voluntarily and to secure their registration or re- port their names for prosecution: and also to the provisions of section 16 of those regulations which make it the duty of all police officers to give every assistance in the coneummation of the registration. These provisions are not empty words. but impose duties which, on the ono hand. should appeal to your patriotism. and, on the other, will subject any person failing in them to the penalties of tho law.

What's the Matter
With Russia !?
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Cranel

Everybody knows that democracy is
opposed by the ruling class, including
kaiserS. kings, hereditary mobiles, with all
their army of philosophical defenders and
literary hangers-on.
But democracy has just as great an
enemy in that sentiment which makes
working class.
\ class at the bottom of society is az
bad as class at the top
The fact is that democracy is the direct
opposite and enemy of any class and all
classes
There is no room in democracy for the
class spirit.
The emperor Of Germany, the ruler Of
Austria, and the sultan of Turkey, with
their encourage Of privileged, favored and
high-born gentry, are foes to democracy.
The radical Socialists bolsheviks or
whatever you call the class fanatics Of
Russia, are no less enemies Of democracy.
Democracy means a whole people, uni
fed with one law for rich and poor, equal
opportunities for AN men, with the elm
