Russian Courtesy to American Actors
George T. Page. president of the
American Bar Association, was telling
Of some of the differences between Rus
STA and this countrv, and added that
Russians as a Nation, did not like
Americans.
This fact is particularly noticeable -
he said. when American actors have
played on Russian stages. recall a
friend Of mine who took his company to
Petrograd. He put on a capital per-
Torrance, but the audience was decid-
edly cold.
After it was over he felt very badly
and as an old stage hand tried to COM
fort him, he said:

way they always treat Americans.

BACK TO THE FARM.
MOVEMENT NOTED
According To The Report Issued By
The Vocational Summary,
Recently Received.

According to a report just issued by
the Vocational Summary it appears
that the back to the farm movement
has started in earnest.
Ihe report states that 1889 pupils
c, or .le country were enrolled in ag-
Ticultural subjects in vocational SCH
coils during 1913 and 1919.
The report further states that this
is an increase of 4,l42 students being
trained in this subject. 1t is interest
i,?g to note that this is only the sec
end year in which practical instruct
ion of this sort has been within reach
of the average child of school age
The Bureau of the Census approx
mates an increase of one million farms
in the United States during the last
ten years. This increase, together with
the increase of scientifically trained
men to operate them, has secured the
future of agricultural America.

WOMAN MADE THE
FIRST GAS MASK
Mrs. J. B. Graner of Pittsburgh Is
Credited With the First Inven-
ton Used In World War.
Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 29-It is clai-
med that the first gas mask based up
on the use of charcoal for the absorp-
ton Of highly poisonous gases from
the atmosphere, the principle which
in actual practice was so valuable to
the armies in the world war, was
made by the late Mrs. J. B. Barner,
O Pittsburgh. This statement is
made at the Mellon Institute of Re-
search here.
Mrs. Graner, the wife of the direc-
tor of research Of an important nat
ural gas company here, became inter-
ested in the experiments her husband
was conducting in connection with the
gases which at that time, early in
1915, had appeared on the battlefields
Of Europe. When the principle was
once established, the Institute declar-
ed, Mrs. Garner designed and made a
dozen gas masks of the canister type,
and in June, 1915, they were handed
over to the representatives in AM
erica of the British government They
sent to England, and from this first
design other gas masks were made.
When the United States entered the
war full details of the experimental
work, and all apparatus that had been
employed were supplied to the gov
ernment. Mrs. Garner, whose hus-
band is a fellow of the Mellon Insti.
tute of Research, died a year ago.

Negro Stole Itta
Bena Xmas Presents

James Nelson, negro, aged 19, was
arrested Friday at Itta Bena for riff
ing the postoffice lock boxes. Sew
eral Christmas parcels and letters
were found on his person when he
was arrested and other valuable pres
ents were recovered that he had hid
den.-
The lock boxes at the Itta Bena of
flee have been rifled from time to
time for the past several months. This
egro has been suspected since last
fall by another old negro who is re-
sponsible for his arrest, as this old
man had watched him very closely
since last September and had actually
caught him before but did not have
the evidence nor the witnesses to
prove his guilt.
Friday morning the old negro met
James leaving the postoffice with a
parcel under his coat and he notified
the officials and the negro was placed
in Jail, within an hour after he had
stolen his last parcel.
Many of the Itta Bena people have
failed to secure Christmas presents
which were mailed to them this year
and it is thought by many that this
negro is not the only person who has
been tampering with the lock boxes
and it is believed the government in
spectors will make an effort to round
up some of the white boys who have
been loafing about the postoffice.

TRY S0LVEHIGH
COST OF LIVING
Chamber OF Commerce Call Attention
To Meeting For Housekeepers
OF City.

The Chamber of Commerce calls
attention to the Conference of
Housekeepers," called to meet at
Memorial Hall at 3 p. m. tomorrow
December 30th, for the purpose of de-
vising plans for combating the high
and ever-increasing cost of living.
This is good move, and one pos
sessing many simple and practical
possibilities despite ganesal helief to
the contrary. It is move that has
been more or less general in many of
the large cities; and where proper
support has been accorded, accom-
plished much.
We all kno wthat we haven't the
power to go to a retailer-the only
one within immediate reach and
compel him to sell his goods at fig
ure possibly below cost, but there are
numerous other methods within easy
reach, and those who will take the
trouble to go to this conference at the
Memorial Hall tomorrow evening, will
probably be surprised to learn just
ho wmuch can be accomplished, right
from the start.
This whole world is on a big
"drunk''-a perfect delirium of any
and all sorts of excesses and indiscre-
tions, ranging from the impossible
schemes of all the conglomerated
cranks of the universe, down to our
own profiteering and profligacy-just
as much out of proportion, out of rea-
son, out Of balance, as any Of the 9TH
er wild orgies that are demoralizing
the human race at present.
In this wild delirium, we have lost
our sense Of proportion. We fail tc
study, or even to attempt to study, OF
realize, what this reckless extrava-
gance means to us, or others, or to
what extent we can successfully com
bat it. Apparently, we become in
fatuated with the craze. There is
something fascinating about it. With
what is really more Or less ridicu-
lous pride we proclaim to one another
what we have paid for this, that OF
the other thing, and the one who pro-
YES most extravagant becomes the en-
Wy of the others. Here's a young
man, of limited means, spending al
most a months salary or income or
suit, or an overcoat, and Dragging
about it-not realizing he is simply
an ass in sharks skin. And SO on
ad infinitum.
Yes, indeed, the ladies can accom-
plish much if they take hold of this
subject in earnest, and pursue it con.
sistently and persistently; and if they
do, the men will soon follow suit.
Profiteering and profligacy are close
companions. They have always beer
good friends. They always will be-
notwithstanding it is a reflection OF
one party's character, and the others
intelligence.
