APPRECIATION OF THE ARTS.

A writer in the New Republic makes sens:~
bic comment on real appreciation of the arts by
people who have no special education in them.
It is said: cit is rather regrettable that people
are so much concerned, in matters of art, over
the agreement of their judgments with the
judgments of the wise men Of the future. 1t is

Conservation of tin and glass containers for

KEEP BUSINESS NORMAL.

A hysteria of overdose economizing and
slackening up Of public works and private en-
Iterprise, on account Of the war, threaten ex-
IRENE hurtfuIness. Closing Of factories; aban-
donment of public works; withholding capital
from productive enterprises-thes would ere
ate alarming unemployment conditions, seri-
Iously derange economic and industrial factors
and entail near-disaster.
/ The Gate City's warning last Monday
against over economizing-ag boarding
and halting-has found substantial support
among the merchants Of Keoknk. 1t is consld-
cred timely and impressive. 1t is not advised
that there should be an era of extravaganza.
Rather, it should be period Of national and real
prosperity, with productive, progressive works
proceeding as in peace years. Let us make bet
ter business our watchward and keep our

The International Association of Rotary
Clubs, an organization composed largely OF
commercial Travellers has appealed to the PEG
pie of the United States to keep business as
nearly normal as possible. It reasons thus:
If the women of the United States stop buy
ing clothes in order to give money to any one OF
hundred worthy causes we shall very short
ly have series of failures among American
merchants dealing in women's ready-to-wear gar
ments. Business is great chain Of interlock-
ing enterprises. If the grocers fall or the
house furnishers, the dealers In any other COM
modify, their failure brings something OF dis
aster into every other field OF commerce The
reasonable prospect, therefore OF the cries now
being sounded for restrictions beyond the stop
page of waste is a general disturbance Of bust
ness conditions which will threaten the whole
nation with calamity.

TRIAL OF GAST0N MEANS
FOR MURDER NEARS CLOSE
Pistol Expert Declares Mrs King
Could Not Have Fired Fatal shot;
Gives Demonstration.

CONCORD, n. c., Dec 11.-Evi-
dence in the case of CASTOR b. Means,
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Maude A. King. was almost completed
when Carrabus county court ad-
journed tonight at the end OF the six
teenth day OF the trial. The defense
had rested its case with the right to
call two witnesses who could not be
on hand today and the state had only
n few more witnesses In rebuttal.
Mrs. Julie i. Means, wife of the
defendant, and Capt w. a. Jones. pis-
tol expert OF the New York city police
department, were the principal wit
nesses today. The former appeared for
the defense and demonstrated to the
jury how she could inflict upon her
self a wound similar to that which
caused Mrs. Kings death. Captain
Jones testified for the state and gave
IL as his opinion that 1t would have
been physically impossible for a per-
son to self-inflict wound such as
killed Mrs. King.
over vigorous protest and an eXcep-
ton to the courts ruling by the de-
fense. Captain Jones was allowed to
fire in court the pistol with which
Mrs King was shot, TO demonstrate
to the jury that the firing OF the gun
left no smoke "smudge" on the hand
such as the defense claimed was
found on Mrs. Kings hand. The Off
Ger detailed various experiments he
had conducted in firing a pistol at
animal skin, hair and into "A calfs
head. When held as close as six inches
TO the calf's head the pistol discharged
burned the hair and powder stains
were visible when the revolver was
fired at a distance as great as l6
inches.
At adjournment of court tonight
Solicitor Clement said he expects argu-
ment to the jury to begin before the
noon roceSs tomorrow.

tained IN n letter from r. NJ. Bartlett,

pany considers its obligation OF fur
nishing sufficient gas only 10 the do
mestic consumer, and explains that in
dustrial consumers only take the sur
plus gas after domestic service has
been given
The letter further explains that the
failure OF the past few days has been
due 10 the inability TO lay some nine
teen thousand feet Of large pipe
the Morrison field; pipe which s.. ud
have been laid several months ago
but for the action OF the government
in tying up the factories in which the
pipe was made. Mr. Bartlett also ex-
plains that local conditions have had
no small part to play in the shortage
of gas and cites as instances OF this
the faulty connections to stoves. the
small service pipes installed and the
installation Of meter boxes in exposed
places where they are affected by
weather conditions
In closing. the letter declares:
From business standpoint, we
ere selling gas TO return us interest In
our investment" Explanation Is then
made Of the efforts being made to lay
the pipe and closes with a promise
