No Ai,monv From Soldiers.

The supreme court of New York
state has no power to enforce an or
der for alimony against soldier in
the United States army, declared JUS
tice Asphalt in the supreme court in
Brooklyn in the case Of Mrs. Florence
Merriman against Rapley P. Merriman,
a private. It is the first decision Of
its kind here. Justice Aspinall gave
the opinion in acting upon the request
Of Mrs. Merriman's attorney, who de-
manded Merriman be forced to pay
$40 on the first business day Of each
month. ut Is obvious that the defend
ant could not comply with a direction
that he pay $40 on the first business
day of each MONTH" said the justice,
s'when $40 is more than the rate of
pay Of his grade, and the time Of pay
ment of a soldier is necessarily very

A,rpIane Needs Strong Wood.

Airplane Needs Strong Wood.
A modern airplane propeller Is one
Of the strongest and most perfect
products Of mans handicraft.
Some airplane engines run at LOO
revolutions minute and can be geared
up to 1000. An engine Of this power
would use a nine-foot-six-inch propel'
Ter and the speed Of the blade ends
would be in the neighborhood Of 600
miles an hour. -. w.. Ism
Revolving at this terrific rate, the
slightest imperfection In the wood
from which the propellers are made
would tend to disrupt them and cause
them to fly to pieces.
For this reason only the best and
hardest wood from the heart Of the
tree is used for propeller blades. 1t
takes 1000 feet Of timber in the rough
to furnish 200 feet Of wood good
enough for propellers. ..-a... .......
Black walnut Is the very best kind
Of wood for propeller blades, for, be-
sides being immensely tough, 1t does
not splinter when hit by projectile.
Next In the order named, come mahog.

CLASSIC DRAMA In jAfAN
Both Chorus and Music Accompany
the Pantomime Of the Actors
on the Stage.

The actors-sons of the sons of gen.
erations of actors passing on as a
legacy of great price to the right to
act in these strange mo" plays of
old Japan-entered and made their ex-
it's by way Of the bridge. At their
approach, Gertrude Emerson writes in
Asia, unseen hands lifted and held
back a curtain of persimmon and Iris
colored silk that hung at the door of
the. dressing room. Their costumes
had wide skirtlike trousers and all the
fires and CONGREGATIONS Of an autumn
wood or a mountain forest burned In
the color of the brocades. Sometimes
they had the streaming white hair OF
ghosts. They stamped with their
white stockinged feet on the polished
floor, which gave out muff1ed echo.
With their flowing sleeves they hid
their faces, turning and swaying in
rhythmic dances. With their fans they
wrote the meaning Of their dances in
the air-the. climbing Of mountain
path to a forsaken shrine, a gift OF
water to a weary pilgrim, the picking
of herbs, the flight of bird across
the sky, the falling Of fowers-or OF
tears. The chorus sang in suppress
ed tones, holding their breath inter
minably, explaining, now the action,
now the thoughts passing through the
mind Of the actor. The musicians beat
on their drums and above all other
sounds walled the flute thin and trem'
ulous, piercingly sad, like lost soul
tOrmented of demons.

LIQUOR BAN AGREED UPON

Senate Committee Approves Prohibl-
tion After Jan. I, 1919.
Washington, July 9.-Legis!ation to
prohibit the sale of distilled liquors,
vine and beer after Jan. 1, 1919. and
to prohibit the manufacture Of wine
and beer after Nov. next, has been
agreed upon by the senate agricultural
committee.
BY fixing definite da q after which
the sale would be prohibited of all in
toxicating liquors. members Of the
committee believe that any charge Of
discrimination would be avoided.
They say wine growers would be en-
abled to dispose of this years crop
while brewers could make use Of their
entire supply Of malt.

FROM cABBAeEs TO KINGS
Writer Impressed by Accumulation Of
Subject Matter Of Every 0eser'p-
tlon In Print.

Perhaps the most valuable instru-
ment for perpetuation is the printing
press, writes Bruce Cummings in Sci
ence Progress. No sooner is an event
over than it is reported in the daily
press, and the newspaper preserved
in the British museum for all time.
Within the sacred rotunda of the
British museum reading room may be
perused the novels of Charles Garvice,
as well as the great Chinese encyclo-
pedia Of the Emperor Kiang-hi In 500
volumes. e
In books our knowledge to date ID
rounded up and displayed; you may
read book on d lump Of coal, q grass
blade, a seaworm, on hair combs, car.
pets, ships, sticks, sealing wax, cab.
bages, kings, cosmetics, Kant. A very
thick volume indeed was published
last year upon the thorax Of a field
cricket. 1t would require a learned
man to catalogue the literature that
deals with such comparatively trivial
subjects as the history Of the Punch
and-Judy show, or the history Of play
Ing cards.
At the present rapid rate of accumu'
lation the time must come when the
British museum, thousands OF years
hence, will occupy an area as large as
London, and the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA be housed in building as big as
the Crystal palace; an accumulation
of learning to make Aristotle and
Scaliger turn pale. r.

Amsterdam, July 9.-According to
Lemberg dispatches to the Vienna
Neue Freie Presse, the Ukranian gov.
eminent has resigned and NJ. Markie'
witch, Socialist federalist. has been
charged with the formation of a new
cabinet.
The present foreign minister and
Minister of War General Rogossa
however, are expected to retain their
Offices. ~. H..
A dispatch from Kiev to the Ukran
ian Press Bureau says the Ukranian
press has requested Germany to form
a flying column consisting of one Ger.
man battalion and four armored cars
for each province in order to subdue
peasant uprisings. >- sJ
The town Of Baku, in Tra1s-Cau'
casia, has been surrounded by noun
taineers and Armenians, says the cor
respondent at Kieve of the Berliner
Volks Zeitung, and the officials have
applied to Germany to send troops to
occupy the town so as to prevent the
Arme1ians from capturing it.
Commenting on the situation in the
Caucasus, Vorwaerts said: .ss.4-
Conditions are compelling the leu
tonic power to occupy precisely that
part of Russia containing the country's
greatest natural resources. OF course,
the only question with the Teutonic

Thinks Nation Should Be More Friend
Iy to Allies.
Barcelona, Spain, July 9.-Signs
are not wanting in the Spanish Press
of uneasiness as to what the verdict
of history will be on SPANS attitude
IN the war.
In spite Of . we'll organized propa.
ganda throughout the country BY
means of subsidized newspapers, and
in spite of the undoubted pro-German
sentiment of the army and a similar
sentiment in other influential quar-
tiers, indications are that events are
slowly bringing home to the average
Spaniard q sense Of doubt as to
whether his country's interests would,
after all, not have been better served
by a neutrality frankly friendly to the
Allies.

North Dakota Athlete Killed.

Fargo, N. D., July 9.-George stins
of Tower City, N. D., announced by
the U. S. marine corps as killed in &C.
ton, was a North Dakota basketball
star of considerable prominence. Slime
was a student at Fargo college when
he enlisted on the first call in April,
1917. He was member of the Tower
City High school state team in 1915
and all-state basketball team member
that same year. Slime is the first OF
10 Tower City men who enlisted on
