LITTLE FELLOW
 PULLS REAL BAD
 MANI EXHIBITION
Admirer of Movie Heroes Shoots Playmate Who Ignores
 Threat.

The condition of James Norris, 10- year-old son of MT. and Mrs. w. T. I Norris, HIP East Second avenue, who was shot in the breast with a
 .22 rifle by another boy said to be Albert Spring, II years old, when
 the former refused to go with Spring to a "moving picture camp" in the willow thicket, near the foot of Georgia street yesterday morning,
 was said not to be dangerous by Dr.
 A. w. Troupe, attending physician last night
 A number of boys have established camp in the willow thicket grown
 up in what was once the bed of the Arkansas river. There they have
 been in the habit of enacting vari-
 ous scenes from moving pictures which they have seen, and have man.
 aged to secure guns, ropes, and oth-
 CT equipment which the we'll known
 boy hero Bill Hart and other like actors. are wont to camoflage with
 Mrs. Norris advised her son not to go to the camp. Yesterday morning young Norris
 met another boy, said to be Albert Spring, who ugred him to go to the camp. Norris refused, stating that
 he had promised his mother he would
 not go there any more. The Spring boy is then said to have threatened Norris, saying "If you don't go with
 me, will shoot you," and raised his
 rifle to make good the threat. Nor
 ris still refused to go, and the other boy fired, the bullet striking the Nor
 ris boy in the breast.
 Though badly wounded, the little fellow walked the four or five blocks
 to his homeuwhere he was attended by a physician, The ball entered the right breast and lodged in the lung. Dr. Troupe stated that unless com plications set in, the boys chances for
 recovery are good.
 Albert Spring, said to have done ;, the shooting, is the son of Mrs. Emma
 Spring. an employe of the Southwest
 ern Bell Telephone Company, and is
 residing with her mother and step- ! father, Mir. and Mrs. Reinhart at 107 Pennsylvania.
 It is generally thought sthat the ] threat made by the Spring boy was
 an idle one. and that she was not aware that the rifle was loaded when he pulled the trigger.

Umbrella Improvement.

It Is the little things which make for perfection, we are told. An inven
 tor has perfected device which cer- tainly shows taste for perfection. No one is unfamiliar with the strip Of tape with catch which is used snugly to wind up closed umbrellas. When the umbrella is open this piece of tape dang)es and pendulates in way that undoubtedly is offensive to the dignity of some. The inventor in question has made an invention which provides means of slowing away the pendant

TROOPS TO WAR ZONE.
Militiamen on Patrol Duty in Chicago
 Riot District.

Chicago, July 30.-The state troops were ordered from the armorles to. night to various points regarded as danger centers in the race riot dis trict. Requests for the troops was made to Adjutant-General Dickson by Mayor Thompson.
 The decision to appeal to the state executive for troops to patrol the streets was reached by Mayor Thomp. son after long conference With mem. bers of his cabinet.
 Governor Lowden was notified of the decision and on the arrival of Ad- jutant nt-General Dickson at the mayors officee, the formal request was made
 Company commanders in the several armories for hours had been getting their men in readiness for an order to march and when the word came there was little delay in setting the troops in motion.
 After notifying the regimental commanders that the troops would be used, the adjutant-general closeted himself with Chief of Police Garrity and with detailed map of the dan. ger district, set about giving specific orders for the disposal of the various regiments.
 It was not deemed necessary at the time to proclaim martial law, and whether Governor Lowden has prepar- ed to take that step was not made known. It seemed to be generally be. lieved that placing the militia men or patrol duty would prevent further serious rioting.
 From what I have seen this after noon and evening, I should judge the situation and temperament of the peo. pie is more serious than it was at this time the night before" said the adjutant-general as he started for the meeting with the mayor.
 The first troops to move were six companies of the first regiment, Hi, nols reserve militia, who were order ed from the seventh regiment armory to the. Staton Avenue riot headauar, ters in the heart of the black belt.
 AdJutant-General Dickson, and Col James Romayne left the city hall fo, the Stanton avenue station after di rectlng the troops to move.

LITTLE HOPE FOR COST OF LIVING,
 TO BECOME LOWER
Figures Show Why Old H. C. l.. Will Be With Us for Some
 Time.
(Correspondnce of Associated Press

(Correspondnce of Associated Press.
 Philadelphia, July 30.-The cost o1 living is likely to stay high for a long time to come in the opinion of the Philadelphia Board of Trade. This view is result of a complication of statistics from many lines of trade and industry.
 According to these figures the ad- vance in prices in this country since 1914 has been about 107 percent, in Canada 115 percent; Great Britain 113 percent and France 235 percent It is pointed out that, in spite of ma terial reductions in the price of steel the advance in other commodities since the armistice has been so great that the average price schedules have been reduced but 5.7 percent below prices prevailing October 1, 1918.
 Why Wages Are High.
 The following are given as reasans why wages will not be much less for a considerable period of time.
 Practical stoppage of immigration since 1914. depriving this country of several millions of workers who would normally have come to us and thus have relieved the labor shortage which confronts American industry upon the resumption of capacity operations.
 Retention in the Government mili- tary service of nearly 2,000,0O0 work CTS, which, it is declared will doubt less continue an indefinite period.
 Creation of new industries such as shipbuilding manufacture of chemicals and dyes.
 Urgent demand for building anc construction of every class due to theil having been forcibly held back fol several years.
 Shortage of world food supplies ant uniformly high prices. Proportion ately higher levels of commodity prices existing throughout Europe.

Each United States senator is elect- ed for six years, unless he is chosen to fill the uneXpired term of some sena- tor who has died or resigned. ,, On March in every todd year"-19l9, etc.-the terms of 32 senators expire that is, one-third of the whole number. By this plan there is never an entirely new senate. Even if no members were reelected, two-thirds of the member ship would always consist of men who have had either two or four years ser vice,

Freak Tree.

1. We are told that in Kentucky there Is q tree bearing each year a crop of walnuts and crop of mulberrles, and the curious phenomenon sis accounted for by the supposition that mulberry seed fell where q walnut lay in tn" ground. and the young shoots came up side by side and united their forces alto one solid trunk. This supposition seems feasible from the fact that the bark of the tree is on one side that of walnut and on the other that oi the mulberry.

ia de coraies y amortiguando ell sus CO.

Entonces, los pueblos Sc desbordan

AL amanecer del catorce de Julio de
1889, vibra ELI Paris ell clarin de la pro-
/ tesla. El pueblo Sc revuelve contra los
! agresores de Ia vispera, que Sc llaman
las tropas eXtranjeras del rey Paris
! va no es Paris sino mas bien ell campo

mer case, fue ell Instruments de los re-
yes, ell ell segundo, Ell de la aristo-
cracia; ahora, despues de mas de un
siglo de sumision absolute, reaparece
sobre la arena mas por su propia cuen-
ia y para defensa propia.
Las campanas y los tambores llaman
al pueblo, que Sc dirige la casa muni-
cipal, Y desde la plaza de Greve eleva
sus gritos a las autoridades pidiendo
''iArmas iarmas''
Como nadie Sc toma la defensa del
pueblo NADIA mas razonable a. Ell mismo
Sc la tome.
Los distritos han contribHido cada
uno con doscientos hombres para la

da cuando negan noticias de que los re-
