Odd Gifts to Red Cross.

Bullion-heavily twisted fringes made of gold wire-discarded from the epaulets worn by Rear Admiral David G. Farragut, are a notable addition to the strange articles contributed to the Red Cross melting pot, says the Wash ington Star.
 ."They were found In scrapbag once kept by Mrs. Farragut." says a memorandum accompanying the d0na- ton, (which with many other relics of the Farrngut household, were sent by the trustees of the estate to J. B. Millner of this city. MT. Millner was one of the Hartford's crew. and for many years has been interested in get ting together n museum collection of Farragut relics.
 A Chinese kimOno, valued at at least S4O, Is another contribution. The don or expects that the Red Cross melting pot will get more than that out of this splendid example of Oriental work manship.
 X most ornately enameled pair of opera glasses. apparently of the period of Louis Quinze, Is one of the decorn- tive features of the melting pot over flow. "The widows mite" wns in- scribed on piece of paper accompany ing one of the contributions. The of- fering consisted of two silver spoons of ancient date and long service.

The Crow Must Be Suppressed.

Now that the world is faced with a serious shortage of food. and that the price of seed corn is soaring beyond bounds. 1t behooves us all to discrim- lnate sharply between those birds that are insectivorous and therefore the friends of man and his crops. and those that are graminivorous and hence pc cularly inimical to human interests. Among the latter family of corvidae, the crow and his cousins-ravens rocks, magpies, jackdaws. etc.--are adiudged to stand, despite the fact that their diet is more or less omniv0rous
 Their depredations in grain fields at the time of sowing are in fact, so serious that in France the secretary of agriculture has issued bulletins to the various prefects. recommending the destruction of these birds. and of fering information to this end.-Scien- tific American Supplement.

MANY GIRLS ARE SWIN0leD
Would Be Movie Stars induced to Part With Money on All Kinds
 of Promises.

Young girls come to New York by the scores of hundreds. determined 10 win fame and much money in molten pictures, says Film Fun. They believe they can do this.
 In most cases they have only httie money and very few friends wiser than themselves. Sooner or later each re- cefves card of invitation, signed with an unfamiliar name, but bearing every evidence of good taste and sincerity.
 It informs the ambitious one that the writer has learned she Is open fer an engagement in the pictures, ana II this is so will she please cali. She does call and is met with cordlallty that might arouse suspicion In a star, but which pleases the innocent one.
 Very adroitly she is put in posses sion of the information that she IS needed in the work. but three or four weeks training is absolutely necessary to prepare her, even though she may have acted for years on the stage. And the charge will be $50.
 Usually, if she seems reluctant. an assistant is called into conference, and presently a special price of $25 IS agreed to-
 If It may be Surmised from the con verSation that a larger sum can be ob- tained, the aspirant for stellar roles is told that stock may be purchased in the corporation in amounts anywhere from S100 to $1000, and an investor will receive enormous dividends. and the necessary preparation for screen success without tuition. contract is guaranteed to each investor.
 Everybody in filmdom knows of the existence of the concerns. of which there are several that vary but little in their plan of operation. They all carry regular ads in the daily papers. It is from responses to these advertise ments that addresses are obtained.
 One concern charges an enrolment fee of 50, dollar each for Il course of 20 lessons, and conferS Il diploma when these have been completed. Then the new actress is advised to have strip of film made, just to show how we'll she screens.
 The charge for this is only S25. She is assured this is essential to success. The near-riot that often ensues when young woman shows up with her strip of film and demands the star part which has been guaranteed her, and which she believes she has earned and paid for, would be very funny if it were not in many cases so tragic.
 This very thing would happen oftener than 1t does but for the fact that studios and managers are safe guarded against all visitors.

The fighting front covered dis tance of about a mile and half, with the French operating on the northern and the British on the southern end. Near Poelcapelle the British drove on beyond their objective and gained took the southern defenses Of the Houltholt forest and. in addition, q series of fortified farms.
 The attack began. as usual, ill the early morning, after heavy lombard ment of the German positions. Ap- parently the allies met with only slight resistance. The gains were quickly made and afterward there was only feeble reaction by the German artillery.
 The Russia Gulf of Riga fleet, which apparently was bottled up in Moon sound by the German naval forces, has made it's way out of the sound and now is guarding the northern en- trance to the south off Wormso island.
 The Russian vessels escaped with out losses, further than the battleship Slava, sunk in naval engagement, and two other vessels. presumably transports which went ashore From it's new position the fleet could make dash for the Gulf of Finland around the western Esthophia coast, or if menaced by attack from the greatly superior German fleet, take refuge again in the waters of Moon sound and play hide and seek with the enemy.
 The Germans have landed forces on the Esthonia coast, pressed back the Russian right wing slightly and occupied the western portion of the Werder peninsula. That larger landing somewhere along this coast is expected is indicated by the state ment in the Russian official communi- cation that Russian patrol boats have seen in the vicinity of the Gulf of Riga large enemy naval forces con vaying transports. More than 1,200 additional prisoners were taken by the Germans in the conquest of Dago island, where also large numbers of guns and quantities of war stores fell into their hands.

It could, if 1t wished, rise in the night and strip the rich bare, and, since it is the mass that represents the majority will. it could, so far as law is concerned, go unpunished. But the average man is honest. The mass wants nothing of bloodshed and rob- bery. Those who possess are safe from those who have nothing. Our banker friend who visited Poverty Row used his eyes. His remark shows that, for most of his years, he hadn't. on this particular subject, used his brains. Toledo Blade.
