ENGLISH 0NE-MAN C0LLIERY
Unique Industry Is Matched by Rail-
road That Is Operated In the
United States.

One-man businesses are many In
these days Of depleted STATS, but a
working coal mine, controlled, super.
vised, and stated entirely by q single
individual is something Of a novelty,
says London Answers.
This One-man cOlliery is found at
Hether Heage, Ambergate. The own
er works the mine every day and all
day to secure an output of 1000 tons
of coal year. The mine is small, and
the produce near the surface, while
the coal is smut-used hitherto in the
manufacture of backing, but thought
Of greater value in war time.
The other side of the Atlantic can,
however, match US in One-man indus
tries. There, on the Idaho Southern
system, is found road run solely by
one man.
The track was once a portion of an
irrigation system, long since abandon
ed; and high-pOwered motor car with
flanged wheels has been built to run
along the rails. 1t carries 16 passen-
gers. and in the two light trailers 90
the freight and luggage. This quaint
railroad las neither guard nor porter,
yet it has a printed time table of it's
own, and runs its trains strictly Oh

Had First Call ON Dance

Down at Quantico one night recent
ly there was a dance for the men
of a certain company, who were to
leave for France the next morning.
OF course, other marines than those
about to go were on the floor. There
was one man who was a mighty good
dancer, and all the girls liked to dance
with him.
There was a very popular girl there,
too. She had her dance program full.
There wasn't dance left.
A marine came up.
MAY 1. dance with you?" he asked.
The young woman said she was sOr-
ry, but her program was full.
II am so sorry" she said.
II am sorry, too" replied the young
man. Il just came into the hall, and
l did want one dance before 1 leave
for France"
He started to turn away.
The soldier who had the dance grab
bed him by the shoulder.
"YOu take my Dance" he said.

Evidently Had Wronn Girl.

BOuncer was distinctly irritated
when he bumped into somebody along
the street, until he found that 1t was
an old acquaintance of his.
"Ha! Just the fellow 1 want to
see," he remarked. II wanted to ask
you whether you ever hear anything
Of BOrem nowadays. Did ne marry
that girl he was so keen On?"
mo, I don't think so. In fact, I've
heard that he's rather fond of going to
her house and putting the gramOphone
on most Of the evening, and every time
his back is turned to put a fresh rec
ord on, Miss Gladeye moves the hands
of the clock on anywhere from ten
minutes to a quarter of an hour"

WHY SHE BECAME CHRISTIAN
Religions of Orient Make Slaves Of
Women, Says a Japanese, and
Rebeled

"And how did you happen to be-

wanted to help them to improve their
lot" she replied terSely. Il found that
1 could not accomplish what l de-
sired without religion. That cOnclu-
sion sent me to study religion from
the wOman's point of view. 1 found
that there is no hope for women in
any of the religions of the Orient.
They teach that from the cradle to
the grave women are inferior to men.
They regard women as evil. COnfu-
clan ethics, for example, teach that
fools and women cannot be educated.
A woman cannot be a heavenly crea-
ture.' 1t teaches that it is better to
see a snake than a woman, for the lat
ter arOuSes passion.
japanese women have been so long
oppressed by this kind of teaching that
they no longer stop to ask why. They
are afraid like slaves. Then began

parts of it any better than like the
religions of the East. / did not see

he understood women. One can see
that from his epiStles.
"When l read the gospels 1 found
that Jesus made no distinction between
the sexes. I liked that. We are all,
women as well as men, children of
God. l came to the conclusion that
the only hope for the women of the
Orient to attain their true position is
through Christianity"

Sun Lifts Much Water From al,

Evaporation of water from Gatun
lake, canal zone, reached new high
record during the month of March,
this year, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Calculations show that the
sun withdrew 3,24S,OOO,OOO cubic feet
of water from the body, the equivalent
Of 1918 cubic feet a second for the
period of 81 days. This was one cubic
foot a second in excess of the volume
OF water passing through the pen
stocks of the Gatun hydroelectric sta
tion, which, during the same month,
produced 4,6S1,000 kilOwatt hours of en-
ergy. This in turn shows the loss Of
potential current due to the suns ef-
feet.

JEW AND IRISH FLAGS FLOAT ON
 FUR EXCHANGE

&s the Funsten Fur Exchange, s. Louis, during the course oC mid-win- Ter sales, it was noted that the naE pf the United States, Canada, Grea: Britain and her Allies were promtn- ently displayed The great Jewish dealers who attend the sales from all parts of the world decided that the Hebrew standard, the oldest flag in the world, was entitled to its plaAe la the display; and to that end committee of the most prominent He brew furrlers ordered one. beauti- full white silk flag, with double blue star in the center. The white silk ts emplematic of purity; and the double blue star of truth and fidelity. With a few appropriate words, A M. Ahern announced the presentation of the flag to the Exchange; and amid the plaudits of almost 400 dealers, the lag was slowly and impressively un- furled from the stand. The ap- plaus and cheering lasted a full five minutes, everybody joining heartily.
 Not to be outdone, the Irish mem bers got together. and their commit tee oroered an equally handsome Irish standard. MT. Ahern made the prea- entation speech from the stand, and again everybody applauded with might and main as the Irish flag, em- eyald green with golden harp, was un- rolled on the other side of the stand.
 The general comment was that all the nationalities were glad to see the two flags floating together;and many a one hummed under his breath-or above it-that oldtime Weber-Field ditty: "If it wasn't for the Irish and the Jews"
 Oh, almost forgot to say that each flag bore handsome streamers of red white and blue ribbons in compliment and complement-to our own grand flag, the Stars and Stripes, the hand somesr flag that flies

Coffee cards will soon be issued. Wood cards, entitling each person to one cubic meter-somewha less than a quartet cord-of wood, have also been issued.

impression Of being an original work.
There is no great novelty about the
main outline of the story, it is true,
family feud eliminating in an error

monplacc disappears behind the aston

characters, cnMeshcd in the tolls Of
atavistic fatality. In spite Of the great
difficulties of dramatizing so diffuse a

ful, cowardly, cpileptic and almost ir-

The hatred of the two eldest brothers
1or the father is evident from the first
moment, but it is infinitely stronger in
Ivan, who conceals it. Dmitri, torn witt

think Of his hatred. 1t is Smerdiakoy
who finally takes the initiative. With
great subtlety he convincas Ivan that

Truly characteristic of Russian life
and literature as "Les Frercs Kara
mazov" is, with its pathos, darkness,
pcrversity and horrors, in its moral
elevation and illumination Of the sub
tcrranean world of the conscience it is
truly cosmopolitan. The chief qualifi-
cation Of the dramatist in the time of
Shakespeare was the ability to hold
the mirror up to nature, capacity for
perceiving, for enjoying and for repro
ducing facts, and facts of as great
variety Us possible. The facts were
those OF human passion and activity.
At the present time the dramatist must
have doctrine or q revelation or an
Interpretation. The real interest of
Les Frercs Karamazov," however grip
ping the material emotions which it
evokes, lies far below the surface in
Dostoievski's analysis OF "thc sickness
Of the soul"
TilE force of all arguments against
H. the dvamatizaton OF novels
amounts to nothing more than protest
agalnst the weakening and vulgariza-
ton OF the originals. If new work OF
high artistic merit is wrought the OBJ
Jectlons fall to pieces. Shakespeare
borrowed the plots Of almost all OF
MS plays, but in every case the supe
rioiity OF his work to the sources was
lmmeasurablc. In fact, the greatest
plays OF the worlds literature are
BASED on cosmic themes. 1t is too
Mach TO require Of the dramatist that
ne snail create IN every case Il universal
truth as we'll as its dramatic mould.
Although so many Russian novels
have whole scenes consisting entirely
Of dialogue with the swift movement
OF dramatic composition, the dramatic
literature of Russia does not possess
single aboriginal masterpiece. Tho
most representative plays Of Russian
drama extant are probably Bataillc's
adaptation Of Tolstoy's "Resurrection.v -
and Copeau's and Crouc's lies Freres
karamaZov." A number of adaptations
Of "The Karamazov Brothers" had been
made in Russia before Copcau under
took to- try his hand. They were
scarcely more, however, than successive
extracts from the dialogue
This method seemed worse to NJ.
