GREAT LAKES, Ills. April 6.-Two worlds records and four central A. A U. marks were established in the an nual indoor track and field champion ship meet of the central A. A. U. held today at the Great Lakes naval train ing station The meet was won by the Chicago Athletic association teams which bagged SS points. The navy was second with g and the Illinois -A. C. third with 23.
 The worlds records were set by Frank Loomis of the Chicago A. "A. in the 120 yard low and high hurdles. which were raced for the first time over a straight away indoor track. Loomis cleared the high hurdles in 0:15 and shot over the low stids in 0:l3 2-5
 Perhaps the biggest surprise Of the meet was the defeat of Joie Ray of the Illinois A. C., a national champion who was beaten by Tom Campbell, an IS year old Chicago prep star in the SS0 yard run. CampbeIrs time of 1:15 2-5 is new central A. A. L. mark. Ray, however, was the individual star of the meet as he won victories in the mile and two-mile events.y

A few hours later we passed through the village, the bombardment began once more, and after several hours nothing was left. The constant danger in which the civil population finds itself mak<s it difficult to expect much normality from them. To draw them away to safe places and to get them interested in work that seems to have some fu- ture to it, some permanency, is the splendid work of Prefect Mirman.

Local Produce Market

With the advance of the season, the
 price of Eggs continues to drop. Thirty
 five cents per dozen was the price of- fered yesterday by local dealers. The
 price is expected to go still lower Mon day.
 A carload of apples and one of ba- nanas was received on the local market yesterday. The amount of these va rieties of fruit consumed in this city and vicinity is surprising and is un- doubtedly due to the scarcity of other fruits just at present

The old men and boys are taught carpentry all the furniture made is used at once in the Asile, or stored away to be taken home to their beloved villages whensthe war is over. In this way, the great prefect seeks to give the poor people Of his district a new hold upon life, by giving them the feeling that in spite of the vanishing of all they had, they can still accumulte possessions and not sit empty handed in the wake of fire and shell. So the work in the dis trict of Meurthe -et- Moselle offers so much hope. If the American Red Cross can keep the health of the children good and thereby give that great en- coura cement to the srown-ups, i. e., that their children all they have left are well cared for-new life will quick | ly develop there where the old has been plotted out.
 March report of the Central Arizona chapter of the Red Cross, indicates that the work of the local women has not decreased although they have giv- en their service to other branches of | patriotic endeavor this month.

Usual Conversation.

The first exclamation from woman
shopper when she sees anything that
attracts her attention is, "Oh, aren't
they sweet?' And as she stops to paw
whatever it is, she inquiries the price.
If it suits her pocketbook the next
question is, do you guarantee them?"
Recently a fastidious young thing flut-
tered her way down the lingerie aisle
of a New York emporium and halted
before counter wherein was heaped
what the advertisement writer's term
robes du mutt. but which facetious per-
sons call ''nighties." The young wom-
an gurgled with delight. After salts
flying herself that they were all right
she inquired the price. Then she hesi-
tated for moment and out came the
old stereotyped question: "Do you
guarantee them?" Certainly, ma'am,'
replied the clerk glibly, you can't wear
them out"

SOLVING Solar Heat Problem.

Though the problem of utilizing So
larS heat In place Of coal has engaged
scientific minds at various times ever
since the early Part Of the seventeenth
century, 1t is only within the last IS
years. that really promising results
have been obtained. Today, according
to MIRA Alderman, the problem is very
nearly solved, at least where sunshine
is plentiful and coal dear. Where, for
example, coal costs as much as SIT a
ton-eoal costs great deal more than
+, that today in Italy-it already pays to
resort to the latest methofs of using
the SUMS, rays In the pr duction Of
mechanical power. The improved
plant tested in Egypt in 1918 brought
results ten times as great as any that
had been previously obtained. The
practical side of the problem is the
proper concentration of solar heat.
This requires absorbers, reflectors,
mirrors, lenses and. other apparatus at
once complex and extensive. All the
necessary apparatus, however, has
been greatly simplified by ingenious
engineers, and further simplification
is said to be reasonably certain.-C Chi

SAYS FlLlPInos ARE LAZY
Writer Doubts Whether He VIII Ever
Work Very Hard to Make some-
thing Of Himself.

The Filipino strikes me as unbear-
ably lazy, writes Maynard Owen in the
Christian Herald. He has had roads
built for him, schools run for him, good
government and peace secured to him,
and an unusual measure Of confidence
placed In him. He has graduated from
almost no clothes into spotless white,
with patent leather "kicks," clean
shirt and respondent tie, so that
he looks like the swell member Of a
pair of black-face comedians. He has
had "sitting-down" jobs created or dis
covered for him and has taken with
remarkable alacrity to the ice-cream-
soda habit, just like any other cul-
tured being.
He has learned to speak English
very well and has been trained into
really good athlete. But as far as I
can see, so far he is not much
changed since the days when he daw-
died into school, followed by a serv-
mt to carry his books and ink bottle.
I doubt very much whether. he will
work as hard or as intelligently to
tpake something Of himself and the
islands as Uncle Sam has work1A Cor

Alaska Women Pretty.

A visitor remarked about the good
looks of Alaskan women, and the fact
that they dress with taste. OF course,
our Northern women are pretty. "Why
shouldn't they be-" queries the Anchor
age Times. They enjoy absolutely
pure air, drink water as fresh as that
from a mountain spring, get plenty of
exercise, and take an active part in
community affairs. They are cosmo-
politan the same as the men are, and
well-read and well-informed. AS every
one knows, there is nothing so beauti-
full as good health. 1t is Joy even
to see an Alaskan girl swinging along
with free, firm tread instead Of the
mincing step of her sister in the states,
who gives the impression she is step
ping on eggs. The Alaskan girl looks
you squarely in the eye, gives You a
frank hand-clasp and is sure Of herself

Chicken Not an Animal.

ages If the injured party brings suit.
Although the supreme court gave an
exhaustive opinion ON one occasion,
declaring a goose to be an animal and
so under the protection Of laws pro-
hibiting cruelty to animals, it has
never held chicken to be an animal,
and so the chicken is not amenable to
laws governing the taking up of ami

property. The laws, as they are now,
are vague as far as damages from
trespassing chickens are concerned.

MOST SUICIDES IN THE WEST
Explained by Large Number Of Health
and Fortune Seekers Who CO to
j That Section Of Country.

The most suicidal city in the United
States is San Diego, CAL, which had
suicidal rate In 1915 Of 1873 per 100000
people; the least Is Holyoke, Mass
where the rate for the same year was
81, says Worlds Work. In 100 cities
the suicide rate for 1915 was 20.3 per
100000 people. Figures running back
ten years show precisely the same or
der Of precedence in different parts of
the United States. The eastern states
have the lowest rate-from 1910 to
1914 1t was 16.5-the southern states
come next, and then the rate increases
progressively as one goes west, reach
ing the highest rate on the Tactic
coast, and especially In California.
Certain explanations come immedi-
ately to mind. California attracts
many invalids, and dependency over
their physical condition may increase
the suicide percentage Of the state.
The Rocky mountain and Pacific states
also draw thousands of men who are
seeking their fortunes--and large
proportion fail in the quest. The East
and South are more settled In their
ways, less subject to sudd business
andssocial upheavals, and consequently
more the home Of steadygoing people.
The West is more adventurous and
still attracts a considerable number
of people whose varying temperaments
and varying fortunes might. easily ex--
plain Its greater tendency to self
murder.

Cures for Sore Throat.

One teaspoonful Of pulverized sui
phur and two teaspoonfuls Of granu-
lated sugar (taling one teaspoonful
once in four hours) will cure a sore
throat.
Spreading a cloth with lard and
sprinkling it with turpentine win also
cure a sore throat or cold in the
chest.
Burn sulphur on an old shovel or
dust pan and carry it through the
rooms in a home and this will prevent
others from catching cold or sore
throats off one who has them.
Gargle salt and tartar for sore
throat.
Use mustard paste made Of one part
mustard to three or four parts flour
for a cold or any form of larynx or
throat or chest colds.

FOR ARAB WEDDING
room Must Ride Nervous Horse
Ikhout Relns. or stirrups, in
Middle Of Procession.

Coming through the streets of AL.
giers Of an evening you may meet
noisy procession that causes you to
wonder whether It is a food fiot or a
revolutionists' parade. This Is an
Arab wedding procession, one Of the
most ingenious devices ever developed
for the embarrassment and mental tor
ture Of the bridegroom, says globe
trotter.
It Is headed by the father Of the
bridegroom, an elderly gentleman, who
\paces soberly ahead, out of the con-
Fusion, attended by a few philosophi-
cal friends, all clad in white. Be
hind him come mob of young men
Marrying torches and lanterns tied to
the ends of poles, beating drums and
allowing tin horns, yelling at the top of
healthy voices. The center Of the
recession is made up of particular
tends of the bridegroom, who burn
d and green flares in addition to
wing torches of the milder sort. Be
Ia them is a band of hired musi-
Is, trailed by all the small boys,
IS and idlers of Algiers.
III this parade naturally attracts a
tain amount of attention. In the
Adle Of it, mounted on nervous
horse, very much embarrassed and
self-conscious, rides the bridegroom.
He seems to ride very unsteadily and
awkwardly, but closer observation
shows he is doing well to ride at all,
for friends have taken the stirrups
from his feet and the reins from his
hands so that he has to hold on by
force of gravity and his sense of equi-
librium. The red fire and the drums
generally stimulate his mount to SUI
perequine activity, and it is marvel
that none Of the enthusiastic friends
get stepped on. The bridegroom, it
is safe to surmise, Is not sorry when
his triumphal procession is over.
AS for the bride, she escapes all
this. A few of her girl friends ac-
company her on quiet procession Of
her own in the afternoon when she
leaves her fathers house for her new
home.

NO MIDDLE CLASS IN, CHINA
Display of Only Most Z Expensive and

Proves the Fact.

An observant travelerl in China will
not fail to notice when purchasing ar
ticles of daily necessity, that there are
only two classes of articlesA-the most
expensive and elaborate and the cheap
est and crudest. This is but, a proof
of the absence of middle class, says

yond the power of Japanese artisans
do so because they have only seen ar
ticles intended for upper-class custom
ers willing to spend countless dollars
upon luxurles. Those, on the other
hand, who declare Chinese artisans
hopelessly crude, are men who have
seen only the cheap articles intended
for the masses.

productions of the Han, Tang, Sung,

crude articles Of common use have
never crossed the sea Of Japan and
that only articles Of the best kind

many centuries of commercial inter-
course between the two countries.

Chinese characters do
sounds although the pitch Of -
Is significant. Their letters are -
graphs, or writing Of ideas or things.
Hence the Chinese have no alphabet,
strictly speaking. For this reason, says
Popular Science Monthly, the Chinese
must employ an astounding number Of
characters. 1t takes about 10000 char
acters to print book In the Chinese
language; vet sometimes an entire
thought or a whole sentence il repre-
scented by one characterI The word
"black" is one character, and so Is
mother" "dead," "yes," yellow" and
a great many other words. With SUCH
a conglomeration, is 1t any wonder that
the American printer wonders how it
is possible to print anything in Chi
