We pause q moment in respectful
admiration to one Russian physician
who has announced TO the world the
discovery of way to suspend life for
six months at a stretch. We admire,
but our admiration is tinged with
regret that he is a physician instead
of an author. A man with the genius
to make such a claim would WELD a
refreshing pen. After Doc Cook and
Doc Friedman and few other docs
here and there who drew cards, but
couldn't fill, we will not waste much
time on this Russian doc. He is
rushing the game. Had he waited a
space, he would have been met in
New York harbor by a committee of
best citizens, and made an honorary
member of the best sellers lodge, but
just at this time the Friedman
wounds are still unhealed.-San Fran

The bill now pending at Harrisburg
to amend the Blue Laws" so as to-
permit concerts. movies and lectures
on Sunday has aroused the widest in
terest among the devCtees of screen
entertainment, and once again has
served to focus attention on the tre-
mendous hold this amusement has on
the great mass of people.
The picture theater today is un-
questionably the most democratic of
American institutions. Only on soil
as fertile in democratic ideals as ours
could the motion picture have attained
the degree of popularity it enjoys to-
day. Free from the criticism leveled
at other of our institutions il has held
itself aloof from political and religious
bias, from capitalistic taint and from.
all racial prejudices.
Men Of all beliefs take their fam
lilies and congregate nightly in the
movie theaters on the common ground
of mutual enjoyment, and foregather
in communion of tears and laughter

1t is the universal appeal that mas
made the motion picture theater the

then that the great mass Of workers

Ceremonial Bath.

Considerable pomp used to attend
the entrance into the water Of the
Duchess de Berri, who, close on a
hundred years ago, first made sea
bathing fashionable in France. When
the duchess went bathing at Dfeppe
her arrival on the beach was hailed
with a salvo of artillery. The holder
of the then newly created post of in
specteur des bains" had to be there
to receive her, attired in resplendent
uniform, cooked hat and white gloves.
This functionary led her royal high
ness into the sea until the water
reached her knees, when he retired
with three profound reverences. The
duchess, who was an expert swim
mer, then proceeded to enjoy her
self.

Good Listener.

A lad who lives in a remote country
town accompanied his father to
church in the village one Sunday and
while there he saw highly colored
picture illustrating the topic for the
day, and representing young Samuel
talking with the Lord, and holding
his ear to the telephone. Like all
children who live in remote districts,
the talking machine" is a very In
teresting article and the lad was much
impressed with the lesson. The fol-
lowing Sunday he was taken to q
church many miles distant from his
home and by a strange coincident,
the picture hung in a conspicuous
place on the wall. With a look of
intense surprise the boy cried out:
ooh, papa, there's Sam, listening yeti"

To Avoid counterfeItInu.

In the production of their notes,
the Bank of England authorities
chief aim is to issue a note which is
impossible for anybody to counter
felt. Toward this end, all the parts
of the note-the paper, the water
mark, the ink, the engraving, the
printing-are prepared and done in a
special, and, as far as possible, Sc
cret manner. At the mills where the
paper is manufactured the most strin-
gent precautions are taken to pre-
vent any of the paper being stolen.
OF course, there have been many at
tempted robberies, but only once, in
the year 1852, were thieves success
full in obtaining any Of the paper.
Very shortly afterward forged notes
were in circulation. The thieves did
not enjoy the triumph long, for with
in short time they were captured.

Being NeiqhborIy.

After the workmen had cleared out

show to each tenant the bill for doing

Handel DIED a Rich Man.

Handel, for whom the kaiser has
been expressing his admiration, made
more money from his works than any
composer before his time. For a "Te

was awarded a pension of 9200 a
year. This was doubled by George |.

he lost thousands of pounds running

the difference in the value of money
equal to 100000 nowadays.

SUNDAY MOVIES
ARE NECESSARY
Government Agent Emphat-
ically Declares For Rorke
Bill and Says Sunday Re
creation Must Be Provided
To Stamp Out Social I'm
rest-Would Be Helpful to
United States Officers

That legislation legalizing enter
tainments of an educational character
on Sunday is necessary in Pennsyl-
vania to lessen social unrest and to
check the spread of Bolshevism is the
opinion of Joseph S. Green, of the
plant protection bureau of the United
States military intelligence depart
ment. He says that practically all
manufacturers, merchants and other
employers of labor will be openly in
favor of the Rorke bill now in the
legislature, which if passed will
greatly modify the ancient blue laws
Of 1894 The blue laws of Pennsylva-
MIA are known throughout the United
States as perhaps the most rigid of all
the legislation that has survived since
Colonial days. In discussing this sub
ject, Mr.. Green says:
What the working people must
have now is contented minds. We
have come to that stage in our social
development in America when we
must recognize that the great masses
of the people will not go to church
Of course there are many thousands
of persons who do attend church serV-
ices, but there are a great many more
thousands who do not attend churches.
The continued restriction placed upon
Sunday recreation is interpreted by
many working people as a form Of op-
preston. In many cases this has been
developed into form of hatred. Our
Investigations in the Pittsburgh dis
trict have led us to the firm convic-
ton that there must be provided some
forms of mental recreation for the
working people on Sunday which is
the one day in the week when they
are refreshed and in the natural state
of mind to appreciate good entertain
ment.
Some modification of the restric-
tions upon Sunday recreation is neces-
sary if we are to prevent the growth
of the ugly spirit that frequently de-
velops into labor troubles and riots.
The agitators in this district are
numerous and unscrupulous. They
are seeking with all their might to
stir up unrest and to create a spirit
of resentment in the working people
The motion picture, think, is the
greatest agency for popular education
in the world today. 1t has a refining
influence and good motion picture
show will do any man a great deal
more good than listening to the Boil
shevik propaganda that is being offer
ed to our working people every Sun
day in the Pittsburgh district.
"To deny the working people mo-
ton picture shows and other educa-
tional entertainments on Sunday will
be playing right into the hands of the
foreign Bolshevki whose movements
the government is watching, particu-
larly in this Pittsburgh district Good
entertainment on Sunday will promote
peace of mind, a greater contentment
and a better spirit between what we
Familiarity call labor and capital"

German Students.


The preliminary statistics Of the
number of students enrolled in Ger
man universities during the winter
semester of 1912-1913 show that the
total number of matriculated students
amounted to 5S,844 as against 58,672
in the summer semester of 1912. In
cluding auditors, the totals are 64,590
and 63,351, respectively. Of the au-
ditors registered in the winter semes-
ter 1897 were men and 1,749 were
women, while of the matriculated stu
dents, no less than 3,213 were women,
these being distributed by faculties as
follows: Theology, II; law, 70; medi-
cine, us; philosophy, 2,408. The fol-
lowing universities attracted the larg-
est number of women students: Ber-
lin, 9O4; Bonn, 2S9; Munchen, 262;
Gottingen, 237; Heidelberg, 219. 1t
may be interesting in this connection
to call attention to some statistics
recently published by the French min
istry Of education, showing that the
percentage of women students in
France in 1912 was 9.8 per cent. as
against 4.8 per cent. in Germany.
