MISSOURI GOVERNOR
 ORDERS NAT. GUARD ON MAYORS REQUEST
Petitioned by People, the Mayor Call ed on Governor Gardner to Send Troops to Prevent Trouble.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 28.-Four hundred members of the Seventh Regiment, National Guard of Mis- souri, called out today by Governor Gardner at the request of Mayor Cog will, because he feared repetition of disturbances in connection with the strike of local street car men, patroli- ed the streets in automobiles all af- ternoon today, and early this evening the cars went, unmolested, to the barns.
 Members of the National Guard, are quartered tonight in building formerly occopied by an army motor school, and will be on duty again to- morrow, it was announced tonight.
 Nearly 300 cars, about half the normal number, were operated today by the railways company.
 Mayor Cogwill this morning tele- phoned Governor Gardner at Jeffer- son City asking him to call out the Seventh regiment to preserve order during the street car strike, which has been in progress here for more than two weeks, and the governor assured the mayor such action would be taken at once.
 Mayor James Cogwill today was expected to inform. Governor F. D. Gardner that in his belief the street ear strike situation here warranted mobilization of the seventh regiment, Missouri National guard and to re- quest the governor to issue neces- sary orders calling out the troops. Mayor Cogwill's decision to make the request followed numerous reports of the stoning of cars and other minor disorders last night.
 Strike leaders said today that the action last night of delegates repre- senting 1O4 local labor unions in pled- ging $1 a week per member toward the strike would add several thou sand dollars weekly to the strike fund.
 Orders from Governor Gardner, di- recting the mobilization of the Sev- enth regiment were received here at II o'clock this morning. Members of the guard are to report at once.
 The company reported this morn ing it had 267 cars, in operation in Greater Kansas City-about half the normal number.
 The Seventh regiment has about l. 600 members, augmented by trans port battalion of 500.

COL T PATENTED FIRST
 REVOLVER DEC. 2S, 1885

The first patent for s revolving firearm" issued by the United States was to Samuel Colt, Connecticut youth of twenty-one. and bore data of Dec. 2S, 1885. Colt was a native of Hartford. He worked for time in a factory and then ran away to sea. It was during his leisure hours on the long voyage to India that he developed the idea which resulted ill the inven- tion of the revolver. He made a model of wood, while he was fifteen-year- old sailor boy. On his return to Amer ica he accumulated funds and went to England and France to secure patents on his idea. before he patented them in his native land. A Company was or ganized on this side of the Atlantic to manufacture his weapons, and plant was established at Paterson. N. J. Colt revolvers were first used in war fare during the Indian conflict in Florida in 1887. The Mexican war led to a great demand. for these weapons and brought them into general use.

Carlisle Is All Abustle Awaiting America's President Who Goes on Pilgrimage to the Birthplace oi Ancestors.

Carlisle, England, Dec. 2S.-This bustling railway center, where in olden times Briton and Scot oftea battled for supremacy, was busy to- day preparing to welcome President Wilson when he comes tomorrow to visit the girlhood home of his motn- CT here.

 The Cavendish house is two stories high, and is now owned by Edgar Saver, banker. The house appears to be in fine condition.
 MT. Saver. who has just moved III, bought the house because it was the only one obtainable in the city. He had no idea, he said today. that it was of historic interest. The room where President Wilson's grand father conducted school is now used as dining room. MT. Saver is un- able to identi Y the room which the presidents mother occupied.
 President Wilson is expected to ar rye at the house at Ii o'clock Sun day mornimg and from there will go to the Lowther Street Congregational church nearby
 He will be greeted by the mayor, who will introduce him to the lead ing citizens. The presidential party will then proceed to the Grown and Mitre hotel where the president will be shown documents and printed rec ords bearing on the associations oi his grandfather, the Rev. Woodrow, with the town
 The president will then visit the house where his grandfather lived and will attend brief service in the Lowther Street Congregational church. He will then return to the hotel to study such records Of his family as it has been possible to gather.
 He will sign the Freemen's roll or the city and an engrossed coly of the resolution conferring on him the free dom of the city will be forwarded later to him in a casket.

Originator of "Race Suicide"


 The first scientific advocate of what has since come to be called race sui eide" or the limitation of population clergyman and scientist, who died eighty-four years ago today, Dec. 2S, 1884. The sociological and economic theories now known as "Malthusian" were fully explained in a great work entitled Essay on the Principles of Population as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society The theory of the author is that population tends to increase in geometrical progression, while the food supply can increase on- ly in arithmatical progression, and that in time population must be in eX- cess of food, and want or starvation necessarily follow. Under the name of Meo Malthusians, some of the leading men of France, England and Germany, but especially in France, where sev- eral years ago engaged In race sui eide propaganda.

POPULAR SUPERSTITION MAKES CHRISTMAS MOST
 UNLUCkY DAY OF YEAR
Preacher is Credited With Being the Inventor the First Percussion Lock for Firearms 150 Years Ago.
Christmas Unlucky Day.

This is the unluckiest day of the year, according to superstition held for centuries by ,Englishmen, and not yet quite extinct in some rural dis tricts of Great Britain. The eXplana- tion of this belief is found in the fact that the twenty-eighth of December commemorates the slaughter of the male children of Bethlehem by order of King Herod
 Childermas is one of the Roman Catholic anniversaries which were retained in the ritual of the Anglican church. Until comparatively recent times the belief in the unlucky char acter of the day was almost gener- al in England, and at that time mo- body would begin any work on Child ermas. Labors whose tasks were day, while housewives refused to wash clothing or scrub, holding that exposure to cool air or water on that day was certain to give them thelr death of colds."
 This superstition concerning Chil dermas was not confined to the @ig norant. The nobility, even the roy atty, shared this fear It is related that the ministers of Edward w., who apparently were lacking in su- perstition, set the date for that n1on arch's coronation on the twenty eighth of December. The King, when so informed, became highly indignant, and immediately ordered the corona tion changed to take place on the twenty ninth, accusing his courtiers of seeking to bring about his ruin and disaster to his reign.
 Twentieth century children are to be congratulated that another old custom connected with Childermas has passed into oblivion. It was long the practice, in all parts of Europe, to awaken the youngsters on Childer- mas morning by administering the lash to the spot where it would do the most good. The severity of the punishment depended upon the mercy or the absence of it of the father, who was supposed to administer the flog- ging. In the seventeenth century a man was tried in England for beating one of his children so severely on . Childermas that the youngster suc- cumbed to the injuries. The cruel father was sentenced to receive d flogging that, too, in day when many crimes were thought to merit the death penalty. In England the practice of whipping the youngsters" that the memories of Herod's murder of the Innocents might stick the clos CT, and in a moderate proportion to act over the cruelties again in kinde," gradually declined, and where it is still observed it has become mere frolic, in which the parents take no part. It is the ambition of each young ster of d 'familysto be the first awake on Childermas, as that is supposed to give him the right to awaken ~the sleepy-heads" by a sound padding.
