NO CLOSING HOUR SET
BY BUSINESS HOUSES
Special Wednesday Meeting Fails tc
Agree on Change in Present
Practice.

A special meeting of the business
men of Caldwell, held at the Com.
merciaf club rooms Monday evening
following a call from those who dis.
cussed the matter the night previou.
at the Commercial club meeting
tailed to arrive at a definite conclusion
as to the best hour of closing. 1t i.
understood that final action will be
postponed until such time as the com.
mittee appointed at the club meeting
has canvassed the city with a petition
to close at five to retermine exactly
what the majority opinion is.
Charles Doan led the opposition 10
the o'clock closing hour, expressing
the belief that such an action would
cost him considerable business. On.
position to the 5 o'clock proposal was
rather unexpected in lieu Of the al.
most unanimous opinion expressed in
favor OF it at the meeting Tuesday
evening. Dry goods merchants are
understood to be unanimously behind
the o'clock hour, two local business
houses now closing at that hour with
the expectation of continuing to do
SO whether other lines of business do
SO or not.
Various proposals were submitted
and each met with opposition. Gro
Gerry men pointed out that considerable
OF their trade came in after five when
laboring classes did a small amount
OF shopping before going home.
Hardware dealers sponsor the asser-
ton that almost Is per cent of their
trade is late afternoon trade and that
radical reimbursement would be
necessary for their customers to com
ply with the new order of things.
Another meeting will be held in
the future after further work has been
done and the opinion of most of the
business houses represented has been
ascertained. What the final DISPOSE
ton OF. the matter will be, seems to
be rather problematical.

the latter, by superior strength, al
ways managed to wiggle out, often
evading what seemed almost sure

Santell's coaching with whom Gus

to Boise witnesses of the bout His
foot work was fast but it was more
than offset by Sepp's seeming ability
to get out of any predicament
Once, after about half an hour, Sepp
apparently had his opponent in a
deadly head lock when Gustavo man
aged to squirm off the mat. The end
to the first fall came rather suddenly.
Sepp came from beneath and clamped
a head scissors on his opponent. The
end came few seconds later with
Gustavo clearly showing that the hold
had held punishment for him.
Criticize Cold Quarters.
Several women witnessed the. bout.
One common cause for objection
from the. crowd was the altogether
inadequate heating facilities provided.
1t was too cold for the men to work
well and caused considerable discom-
fort to the onlookers. Joe Erwin
has announced that before the next
bout rs given, the mat will be placed
on a stand elevated about two feet
from the floor and that the ceiling of
the building will be put in which
should insure comfort at the next
show.
Following the main go, Gustavo
announced that he would be willing
to take on Sepp again if the latter
would make his weight-158 pounds.
Gustave asserted that he believed
Sepp outweighed him about IL pounds.

PIONEER DEAD

West Palm Beach. Nov. 2O.-Dr.
Henry G. Hood, probably the best
known physician on the east coast
south of the st. Lucie river among
the older residents, died at the Emer-
gency Hospital Tuesday afternoon,
about an hour after undergoing an
operation. He had been i'll but few
days. His age is given as 81 years.
Dr.. Hood came to this section Of
Florida from Fort Wayne. Ind, in
1889, and, with the exception Of a
brief period when he practiced in
Kansas, he has resided here confirm
cusly since that time. He has always
made his home in Palm Beach, but his
practice has extended for many miles
north and south, and at a time, too,
when highways were paths and many
were but trails. A man Of high ,edu-
cation, a practitioner of marked abil-
ity, and a thorough gentleman in ev-
cry sense of the word, DR.. Hood was
honored by the friendship Of all who
became acquainted with him, and helj
political positions with honor to him
self and satisfaction to his hosts o.
constituents.

ELECTRIC FAN is USED
TO KEEP HOUSE WARM

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 2O.-An cleo
trio fan is being employed by Presi-
dent Dustin, of the Put-in-Bay steam
or line, to keep his Office warm these
cool fall days.
Last winter Mr.. Dustin found that
the Office was uncomfortably cool, al
though there was a good fire, and he
set out to discover where the heat
vent to. He found that the air in
the room at the ceiling was thirty de
grees warmer than the air four feet
from the floor.
AS an experiment Mr.. Dustin sci
an electric fan on the floor and di'
rected the current of air toward tht
ceiling. After the fan was in opera
lion for a short time he found b.
consulting his thermometers at thu
floor and at the ceiling that tempera
ture Of the room was practically tn
same throughout.
Mr.. Dustin has equipped all tn
large rooms in his residence with a
electric fan.

CHINESE WORKS OF ART
IN NATIONAL MUSEUM
(By Associated Press.l


Stockholm, Nov. 20.--The unique
collection of Chinese works of art
made by the late Ii Hung Chang,
one-time viceroy of China, which for
wears collectors tried vainly to &C.
ouire, has finally been bought by a
Swedish syndicate and valuable
part of it has been given to the Ma
tional Museum here by the purchas-
ers. German museums were negotiat-
ing for the collection when the war
nut an end to their plans. The pur'
chase price is understood to have
been mare than million Krone
(nominally about 2S0,OO0) but the in
trinsic value OF the collection is in
calculable.
Ii Hung Chang died in 1901. HI
had collection OF works OF art larg
er than anything Of Its kind In thu
Empire. It included numerous oil
paintings, bronzes of great worth AMI
ancient ceramics. The bronzes dat
from a time before Christ and tn

to the twelfth centuries.
The collection is in Shanghai wher

The GOLDEN RULE In LAND.
LORD.TENANT RELATIONS

In their relations with each other,
we believe that the average tenant
largely follows the example set by
the, landlord. II the latter is hard,
grasping and inclined to squabble ov-
er petty details, his tenants are like
iy to possess the same characteristics.
On the other hand, a broad-minded
liberal, progressive landlord will
probably have up-to-date, ambitious,
progressive tenants. 1t Is a repetition
of the old truth that in the actions OF
others we usually see reflections OF
our own actions.
Speaking himself as landlord, the
writer of this believes that the Colder
Rule and the principle of the square
deal are absolutely workable between
landlord and tenant. Not only arr

ALLENBY ONE OF THE
WARS MILITARY GENIUSES

London, Nov. 20.-Since the trl-t
umphal return of Lord Allenby, con
oueror of the Holy Land" there has
been some discussion in the press
and military circles of the relative
merits of military leadership in the
East and West. There have been sug-
gestions that war in the West and
war in the East are so different in
character that the laurels gained in
the second are, in military sense.
not comparable to the laurels gained
in the first.
The Zionist Review, the official or
gan of the English Zionist Federation,
makes a spirited reply to certain crit
ics who. they infer, Seek to discoun,
what is widely acclaimed as General
Allenby's proved military genius.
Lord Allenby has returned from
the East to England with a military
reputation and the romance OF sue,

are convinced that no British com
mander could have conducted I'M
Palestine campaign with brillianc'
superior to that manifested by Lor'
Allenby. From GAIA and Beersheb

whether any British commander dui

RUNAWAY GIRLS FOR THE
FIRST TIME FIND SYMPATHY
AND UNDERSTANDING FROM
TRAVELLERS AID WORKER

One Of the paradoxes Of life, which
is tragedy often and often approaches
tragedy, was unfolded at the terminal
station a day or two ago. in the story
of two young girls who had run away
from their homes to Jacksonville.
The strange anomaly Of these
youthful tragedies was that the first
real sympathy and understanding in
their lives came from worker OF
the Travellers Aid, who instantly read
their thoughts and tragedy in their
hesltating looks and actions, and at
once penetrated their reserve through
the channel Of sympathetic under
standing-while their own parents. to
whom understanding and sympathy
are accepted as a matter of human in
stinct, had been utter strangers to
them, and, in the case Of one parent,
an enemy.
Here are the stories as they were
unraveled. Upon one little girl, IL

err brothers and sister, the youngest

mother had left home because Of hel
