Boats Beat Landlords

While council committees in Chi
.caeo are Investigating 100 and 200
PEI cent increases in rent and tenants
are forming unions to fight profteer-
ing landlords, one group of Chicago
residents are living in comfort and
paying rents averaging 81 a month.
These families live~in households that
dot the various branches of the Chi
caeo and Calumet rivers and the lakes
OF South Chicago district. The 81
is paid to landowners for mooring
privileges.
When the colonists find a satisfac-
tory location and settle down for =
stay of any length they usually in
stall city water, electric light ami
the telephone. Many chicken coops
and vegetable gardens are on the land.
Some boats have their own lighting
plants and most have a "fivyer" boat
attached so that if they do not like the
reiehborhood they simply crank the
Rotor and move to another location.

BritonS Buy Much
American Honey
Over 100000 Million Lbs.

American honey is becoming in
creasingly popular in Great Britain
On account of the shortage of sugar
the English people have taken heartily
to its use, and it now seems probable
that the demand will continue even
after sugar again becomes plentiful
The clear, strained honey in the glass

approximately 100000 pounds. Bv
1918 this had increased to 36,500,0
poundsvalued at $13,150,000. The

TAX ON AMUSEMENT PARKS

Owners Of baseball parks or other
amusement grounds to which admis-

the federal authorities for conducting

that every baseball park in this dis
trict will be visited by revenue Off
GERS, and unless the proprietors have
complied with the law, penalties and
criminal prosecution will follow.
THE owner of the park or resort
TO which admission is charged has to
pay the special tax, which is in addi-
ten to the tax on admission" said
Mr. Riordan. This tax is SIS per

owner delinquent, I shall certainly be

John Derus of Chicago was willing

The ardent spiritual heroism of q
slip of a woman, displayed at a street
corner meeting in Philadelphia mora
than forty years ago, gave to Penn

United States.
Amid the boots and jeers Of a scott

violence, the first open air Salvation
Army service was achieved by the
perseverance of this young woman
and the London idea-a religion for
the downtrodden, the unfortunate and

Booth, in London, sent her word that
the Salvation Army was not prepared
to send a corps of workers to America
for another year A hot Sunday
afternoon in July, 1879, found Miss
Shirley and her parents, on a street
corner beginning services. It had
been noised about the mill district
that "a Hallelujah gang" was start
ing a meeting, and soon a hostile
crowd gathered. They heckled, de
rided, hooted, and drowned out the
SIMPLE hymn singing of the trio with
boisterous mirth, and only stopped
short of personal violence. But des-
pite this, there was a few receptive
ones in the gathering and they fol-
lowed Miss Shirley and her parents
to a nearby chair factory, where they
lad arranged to hold religious SER

Would Organize

Judge Had Fine Dream But

The reputed founder of the Utah

process Of organizing four million
first voters and Pumping their com

chance of slipping up seems to be that
the sophomore voters, jealous of such
Presumption, might organize their

''DeW Ponds

"The ancient dew ponds" Of Eng
land have their modern counterparts
on the rock Of Gibraltar, where drink
ing water is obtained by the conden-
sation of the abundant dew in especi'
ally prepared basins. The primitive
process consists in making a hollow
in the ground and filling the bottom
with dry straw, over which is paced
a layer of clay. On clear night the
clay cools very rapidly and the dew is
condensed into water in the basin
The pond is improved by putting a
layer of asphalt or Portland cement
under the straw. At Gibraltar the
present practice is to use wood instead
Of straw and sheet iron instead OF
clay.

Small Fry Flags

The world war has helped to famili-
arize many persons with the flags of
our Allies, but according to a bull
Ietin from the Washington headquar-
tiers OF the National Geographical Soci-
ETY., the average persons repertoire OF
flags still does not exceed half a
dozen.
Flags are important, not only as
patriotic and artistic emblems, but
many times the histories of nations
are symbolized in their flags.
The red and white flag of Monaco
floats over the smallest nation on
earth. The entire area of the terri
tory, whose symbol of authority it is,
IS only eight miles square. Although
1t is the smallest in area, there are
three smaller in population. 1t has
$4,000 inhabitants, as compared with
1891 for Andorra, 1915 for Liechten-
stein, and 11513 for San Marine.
San Marine claims to be the Oldest
state in Europe. Next to Monaco it
is in area the smallest independent
country in the world 1t has 80
square miles of territory and popu
lation of 11,513. The coat-of-arms con-
sists Of three hills of gold upon field

as a crest and is surrounded by

The ensign of the republic of San
Marine consists of a field, the upper
part of which is blue and the lower
half white. The coat-of-arms is cen
tered on it.
With its field shared by yellow red,

Philadelphia the Birthplace OF the
Salvation Army Forty Years Ago
Captain Eliza Shirley Organized "Hallelujah Gang in
Spite of Angry Jeers

/ Thus occurred the first meeting of
tho Salvation Army in America.
In March, 1880, Commissioner
George RaiIton, one of General Booths
first assistants in England, came to
the old chair factory in Philadelphia,
accompanied by seven Hallelu1ah las
sizes. They established their head
quarters there and the factory no
longer was a nameless meetin g place
of a small religious band, but was
named Post No 1.-The first Salvation
Army post in America.
As the years rolled on the converts
increased, and other posts were start
ed The commissioner remained for
few years in Philadelphia and then
transferred his headquarters to New
York City. Before he left however,
the, first copy of the War Cry, the
army's official paper made its appear
ance. 1t has appeared ever since
then, not always with regularity, for
in the early days there were times
when funds were lacking.
For the first nineteen years the sole
gospel of the Salvation Army has been
evangelism, but, in 1899, the leaders,
who for some years had been dwelling
upon the possibilities of institutional
work, established the Women's Res
cue Home and Maternity Hospital at
5415 Lansdowne avenue. In 1902
The Salvation Army took another step
and opened an industrial home for
men, which has been self-supporting
from the very beginning in nearly
eervy city where the Army operates
sue h home.
Later a day nursery was established
in Philadelphia and this idea has
sprea to all the big cities in the
country. TIL members of the Army
engaged in this work, do mission
work, care TO + the sick an visit and
help the needy. Of more recent date
efforts have been extended along re-
lief and prison work.

One Of the latest illustrations Of
what American enterprise and in,
eenuily can accomplish is furnished
by the announcement that a Chicago
lapidary Henry Essig, has perfected
a method Of manufacturing agate

only far superior to those which for
r.erly came from Germany. that be
ip2 virtually the only country to
make them before the war-but which
can be turned out in fraction of
the time required by the German
methods.
The result of the Chicago mans eff
fcrts was the development of 1e-
remarkable mineral cutting drill, by
means of which he is enabled to turn
out large quantities of mechanically
perfect guides in Comparatively
short time, each guide being left the
1latural color of the raw agate.

ciaion but viii bore a hole Of any de.

Goose Hangs High

The most popular explanation OF
the origin of the expression, Every
thing is lovely when the goose hangs
high" is this: That it comes from
the southern country amusement
known as "goose pulling" A goose,
it's neck carefully plucked and well
creased, was hung by its feet to 4
branch of a tree. The men would
ride past at a gallop, trying to catcl
i by the neck and pull its head off.
The better the goose was in lodging,
the greater the fun. When the goose
hung high, so that the competitors
had to stand in the stirups to grasp
at it, the joy was greatest. Another
suggested origin is that it refers 10
the fact that wild geese fly in clear
weather; this explanation would
change hangs" to "honk.'

WhiSkerS Sacred

If the beard has any standing in
tie world today, it is undoubtedly be,
cause of the Jews, who held their
whiskers to be sacred and swore by
them. Later, the Turks did the same
The Sultan's followers used to comb
their whiskers after prayers, catch
the hairs that came out, break them
in two and bury them, on the theory
that in some mysterious way the
hairs helped to make soft walking to
the gates Of paradise. This the
Turks firmly believed.
