Music, of All Arts, the One Most Intimately lnterWoven
 With Ethical Consciousness

Of all arts, music is the one most intimately interwoven with the eth fcal consciousness of our own time. The Oratorios of Handel and or Mendelssohn so blend the sacred text and the divine music that we think Of the two together, and almost as or things so welded by God that man must not seek to put them asunder. When have sat to sing in the chorus of the Messiah" and have heard the tenor take up the sweet burden of Comfort ye my people!" I have felt the whole chain of divine consolation which those historic words express, and which link the prophet of pre- Christian times to the saints and sim ners of today. In far-of Palestine l have been shown the plain on which 1t is supposed that the shepherds were tending their focks when the birth of the Messiah was announced to them. But as I turned my eyes to view 1t, my memory was full of that pastoral symphony of HandePs, in which the divine glory seems just mufied enough to be ineligible to our abrupt and nasty sense. Nay, l lately heard a beloved voice which read the chapter of Elijah's wonder full experience in the wilderness. While I listened, bar after bar of Mendelssohn's music struck itself on in the resonant chamber of memory. and I thanked the Hebrew of our own time for giving intensity to that drama of insight and heroism.-Julia Ward Howe.

Cape Prince of Wales Is Said to Be the Stormiest
 Region in All the World

The stormiest place in all the world is said to be Cape Prince of Wales, which is the westernmost point of Alaska. It is marked by a considerable mountain 2,21O feet high, and fierce winds blow there perpetually. Storms from the Arctic ocean assan this in- hospitable region all the year round.
 Frank Hess of the government geo. logical survey says that August 30 he found himself in the midst of deep snow on Cape Prince of Wales, with a wind blowing so hard that he had to get behind rock to avoid being blown into the sea.
 The weather for the moment was clear and he could see the coast of Si- beria, across Boring strait, 40 miles away. Here and there were rocks that bore curious masses of snow crystals, which stood out horizontally, having been thrown and compacted by wind. It was bitter cold, but down below were vast fields of beautiful forget-me- nots.
 On the south side of the mountain MT. Hess says that he came across Eskimo dwellings-''igloos" dug un- derground and walled and roofed with timbers. No trees grow in that re- zion, but the natives of far northern Alaska have always a plentiful supply of driftwood, carried from the Yukon river by an ocean current that skirts the coast.
 The underground igloos Construct ed to escape the storm and wind) were %r with communicating doors that were mere holes through which the occu- pants were obliged to crawl on hands and knees. The only ventilation was afforded by the vertebrae of whale (which served as an airtube), thrust up through the roof.

 Burglars Drop Guns.
 Investigation showed both burglars had dropped their revolvers on the floor at the sound of Mrs. Martins voice. In the dining room was their loot sack crammed with jewelry and silverware valued at several thousand dollars.
 One of the burglars, Charles Bray ton, has a long police record and has been sought repeatedly for numerous burglaries and ho1dups throughout the city. He gave his address at 213 East Forty-eighth street, but that was found to be fictitious.
 The other, Edward Sander, who al- so gave a fictitious address, declared he was an "amateur burglar"

Taxis and Other Motor
 Vehicles Must Pay Tax

Taxicabs, jitney buses and other passenger automobiles operated for hire are subject to special government taxes under regulations issued by the international revenue bureau inter- preting the provisions of the revenue act. An automobile with a seating ca pacity of from three to seven is taxed $1O a year, and buses capable of car rying more than seven are taxed $20. TwO-passenger cars are exempt. The regulations provide that "bus lines, au- tomobile stages and jitneys operating over regular routes" and cars operated by sightseeing companies are liable to the tax. The tax is assessed against the car and not the owner, so that if a man sells a car he may not transfer the tax to another car This tax be- came effective January 1.

HIS CRUTCH

 He hobbies down the quiet street, A youthful veteran Whose heart is still attuned unto The drums wild rataplan, Whose ears are deafened even yet By battles dread alarm, WCose halting step depends upon The crutch beneath his arm. His good right leg is gone-afar In Flanders mud it lies, But there's a smile upon his lips, For still Old Glory flies. And though a slow and painful gait His mundane progress mars, Behold his spirit vaults the clouds And strides among the stars. Washington's sword and Franklin's staff And Lincoln's pen shall be Embossed forevermore upon The shield of Liberty; And To! the doughboy's battered crutch, Through Times eternal flight, Will stand a signpost on the road To Freedoms mountain height.

DOGS FIND STILL AND DRINK
Police Wonder When Canines StaoGer Along Streets in an Oregon
 Town.

Baker, Ore.-With dogs blear-eyed and wobbly in their .underpinnings, staggering along suburban streets and in other ways acting queer, police officers are beginning to take notice of a serious condition of the canine popu- latfon of Baker.
 In recent days many of the unfor- tunate brutes have been sent to the pound and the last one captured had to be killed. Every symptom points to their being drunk, and the belief is that the keen scent of these four legged tiplers has "nosed" out a moon- shine plant.
 And now the officers are taking pre- cautions to prevent two-legged animals of another species acting in a similar manner.

Had Loot crammed in Gunny Sack but Drop Guns When Woman Speaks-One Long Wanted
 by Police.

Chicago.-She's not knee-high to the proverbial duck. In fact, the pistol she held probably would have kicked her over backward had she pulled it's trigger.
 Yet Mrs. Oliver T. Martin, wife of a wealthy tobacconist living at 364 East Fifty-eighth street, had the nerve. And that enabled her to capture two burglars, one of whom the entire pc lice force has been trying and failing to capture for several months.
 It happened thus:
 Mrs. Martin was in her husbands store at 316 East Fifty-eighth street. A neighbor telephoned that two bur glars were ransacking her apartment.
 Gets Out Big Pistol.
 She notified the Wabash avenue po- lice and directed them to meet her in the vestibule of the building. Seizing a big automatic pistol, she rushed to the rendezvous.
 Policemen Edward Mcclure, Pat rick McInerney and Thomas Cassidy were there ringing the doorbell when she arrived.
 Don't do that. You'll alarm them, g cried Mrs. Martin. Lets catch 'em, dead or alive" She held the big gun steadily and led the way to the sec ond floor.
 The Martin apartment was dark and silent when the plucky woman unlock ed the door softly. She crept in ahead of the policemen and stopped to listen. A slight noise came from the library.
 Are any burglars in there?" Mrs. Martin demanded to know. She switched on the reception hall light.
 "Yes, I'm one," answered a voice in the library, before the mortified po- licemen could protest at Mrs. Divers method of criminal procedure. The

Thrush Has Own Method of Strengthening the SheIIed
 SnaiIs to Get the "Goody"

Tn districts where shelled snails are abundant it is no rare thing, says writer, to come across a stone utilized as slaughter block by some particu- lar thrush. Even if the bird is not caught in the act, numerous broken and empty shells scattered in the neighborhood betray the place where the mollusks have been done to death.
 The method adopted by the thrush is simply that of dropping a snail from a height time and again until the shell Is broken and the succulent body within is exposed to the captor's beak. But the anvil is sometimes made use of in different way and with a different end in view. The other day, in the depths of Highland birch wood an observer came upon such a sacrifcial stone, at which a thrush was busily occupied. Field glasses made evident that not snail but a common black slug was his cap tive. This he grasped by the middle with his beak, dashing it repeatedly with resounding smacks upon the stone, whence it occasionally rebound
  once more.
 Subsequent examination of the stone revealed with what effect the operation had been carried out. But what of its purpose? Here was no shell to be broken. It may be that the thrush simply wished to kill it's prev but the fact that thrushes swal- low wriggling worms without hes1ta- tion renders this explanation improb- able. It is more likely that the skin of the slug was too thick and coarse to be palatable and that the thrush was simply endeavoring to dash out the edible portions within; or that 1t was attempting to render the skin more tender by a method analogous to the domestic batting" of a steak.

We can get some idea already of outlines are still far from perfect, Ob- serves a writer in the Providence Jour- nal. Along Germany's western iron tier Alsace-LOrraine goes uncOnditiOn- ally to France, with the Sarre basin also ceded to her for 15 years, the mines of that region given over as par tial indemnity to French ownership and il plebiscite Is years hence pro- vidPd for. Luxemburg is freed from German control. Belgium gets small area, part outright and part subject to popular vote, and plebiscite will de- ternine whether the inhabitants of Scb1eswig prefer to be included within Germany or Denmark for the future.
 Germany will retain nominal control of the valley east of the Rhine, but it is to be permanently demilitarized. German Austria becomes an independ- ent state, along with the new Czecho- Slovakia, JugO-Slavia and Poland. Danzig will be a free city with Polish affiliations and Germany is forced to recognize the new states of western Russia.
 h Africa the immense German hold ings go to the allied and associated powers as mandatories. Japan agrees to return to the Picking government all the territory on the Chinese mainland which she has lately acquired, but will have Tsingtao in perpetuity. The vari- ous German islands of the Pacific go to Japan, Australia and New Zealand as mAndatories, which means that in all human probability those countries will be permanently installed there under the convenient fiction of the league of nations language. Even the German slice of the Antarctic continent is to be yielded to the entente. Will it be necessary to give anyone a mandate" for this frigid and uninhabited region?
 There are still so many details to be wOrked out that it may be some time before the authentic new atlases can be issued.
