70 seems that Professor liyslop and
two women mediums. Mrs. Hays Of 81.

frequent conversations with the spirit
of Mark Twain, and have found the

he was forced TO leave before he had

The great author is elatcd, Professor
Hyslop says, because what he has 20
say to the world will shed enlighten-
mont where now there is only darkness
and dismay
But Mrs. Gabrilowitch. who before
her. marriage was Clara Clemens, is not
impressed. In an interview Yesterday
she unsympathetically characterized
Professor Hyslop's assertions as SILLY,
foolish, stupid, and crazy and an
nounced that she has asked her attor-

lingsworth shipyard Saturday morning
Garasta is q reemer at the shipyard
and was working on the scaffolding OF

morning when his foot slipped from
The lsyboards. throwing him 10 the
hold OF the ship, 25 feet below.
Hearnc was doing riveting work in
The hold Of the boat when he looked
up and saw Garasta falling The fall
ing man was headed straight for the

ilearne was working Hearne hraced
himself, and extending his arms. caught
the falling man and saved him from
possible instant death. sharp steel
arms extend from the sides OF the
boiler saddle and Garasta would have
struck one Of these had not Hearne

Hearnc is a powerfully built man
while Garasta is of small stature.
Aside from The shaking up. Garasta
was not hurt and refused to go TO a

VIII Ask State TO Give $4,000
Fund for Work Among
Soldiers
PROMINENT MEN
SUPPORT CAUSE

The drive TO raise $1,000 for the
Sa.vation Army war fund in Whining
ton and Delaware will begin tomorrow.
This sum is the amount aporlioned this
state in the campaign TO raise 81 100000
for war work both in this country and
abroad
A local committee. of which David
i. Marvel is chairman. and who is as
sociatcd with Mayor Lawson, William
Coyne, the Rev Dr. Herbert +. Ram
dolphi S. G. Tallman. David Snellen-
burg, Alfred d. Warner and Richard
Reese, other members of the local com
mlttee in raising this fund, is Gesirous
That all who have already made up
their minds TO contribute to the fund,
shall do so as speedily as possible.
Mr.. Reese is the treasurer, and all
subscriptions should be made TO him
at the Equitable Trust Company. Mr.
Reese in turn will forward the money
90 the general treasurer in New York
City.
The si,OOOOOO TO he raised is to be
divided into two parts One-third Of
the money Will be used to defray the
expenses Of work about the canton
menis in this country and the other
two-thirds will so abroad for work on
the 'front.'
Because the work Of the salvation
Army does not in any way duplicate
or overlap any work done by the y. NJ
C.. a. or other war charities, is the
reason that the campaign for funds and
the work generally received the in
dorseMent Of President Wilson. The
salvation Army workers labor co-ordi-
nately and in full cooperation with
the Y. NJ. C.. A.
Y. NJ. c. A. workers realizing the
great good done by the Salvation Army
lassies in France and also in this coun-
try, are giving the campaign for funds
all the moral support in their power.
and are ready with arguments TO adj
vance the salvation Army cause when
ever called unon.
The campaign for the $1,000 TO be
raised here is to continue from tomor-
row to Nashingtons Birthday on
February D. The amount asked is
small and it would appear as though
it should be an easy matter to raise it.
ANY one having any doubts about the
worth Of the cause should call upon
the members of the local committee
named above for theiF opinion on it.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
I DOING GOOD WORK FOR
{ SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY

Bemidji members of the Christian
Scientist congregation are much In
terested in what the Scientists are
doing for the American soldiers at
the front and in training, and also
for war refugees, the work being in
charge Of the Comforts Forwarding
committee, headquarters in Boston.
During the first three months Of
the committees work about 29,500
articles were prepared.
Among the goods forwarded were
10000 knitted articles and comfort
kits, $500 articles of new clothing
for French, Italian, Belgian and Ser
bian refugee children, and about s.
900 selected secondhand or remade
articles of clothing. <a$a5
One American ship has been sup
piled with enough knitted goods, tot
aling $500 pieces, to equip all the
sailors on board. "A large number
of the knitted garments and other
comforts have been turned over to
the different war relief associations
in Boston, which are in direct COM
munication with the people of their
respective countries, notably the
British, French, Italian and Belgian
associations. n q
A feature of the Comforts For
warding committees work which has
brought splendid results is the unit
system" of preparing new. garments
for refugee children. Ten of the
committee were first instructed lin
the making of model garment, each
of the 10 instructed 10 others and
foin If foo me
of 10 others whom they in turn in
structed. = Two groups of team cap
tains meet at the committees rooms
every day to receive instructions and
material for use by themselves and
the members Of their respective
teams, who work at leisure moments
at home. Thus LILO sewers are
banded together for this particular
part of the committees program and
they are turning out an average OF
over 1000 garments week. In this
work, they have been greatly assist
ed by one of the patriotic manufac-
turing companies of Boston, which
offered and has undertaken to do all
the cutting required for these gar
ments.
Before beginning to sew for the
refugees of any country, the COM
.mittee. ascertained not only what arr
ticles were needed but also the form
and material desired, - so far as was
possible. : It was learned, for in
stance, that so common an article OF
general use as a pilloWcase was, in
one country for which the teams
were sewing, very unlike the pillow
case Of the, American home. For
knitters,. wool is sold over the coun1-
ter, Instructions are given. and the
finished garment is returned to the
committees Headquarters when
'eady. In addition. there are four
knitting machines in operation, on
each Of which. it is possible to knit
pair of socks in 20 minutes:
