lection. There are times when ability to take care of self or others in the wa ter is vital and no matter how excellent an education may be possessed 1t affords no help to compare with knowing how to swim.
 Most of the individuals who do net know how to swim lack that attainment because they never had the opportunity to learn. Having the opportunity to learn and not taking advantage of what should be regarded as necessary as 1 part of everyone's education has led to swimming being made compulsory and the benefits that will result therefore will unquestionaply be manifold.

This book is the story of a man

and simplicity out of the very SOIL

marsh and moorland and through
| the forest to a spot in the primeval
wilds where ne decides to settle.
Out of the first rude shelter VS.
the homestead civilization and
prosperity follow and soon small
sediment grows up. The Boston
Transcript say: There should be
a new adjective created for the
Growth of the Soil for by its very
simplicity it challenges adequate
expression of appreciation"

MOTHER OF CHINESE
BOY EMPEROR DEAD
nBy The Associated PressJ

Pekin, oct. 16 (by the Associ-
ated Press.) - Princess Chin,
mother of the boy emperor,
Hsuan-Tung, ousted from the
throne February IL. 1912, died on
October 1, and it is reported she
committed suicide by taking
opium. The reason Is attributed
by reports to a quarrel between
Princess Chin and the empress
dowager, Princess Chun.
1t is declared the empress dow
ager desired that the boy emperor
should marry a daughter of Presi-
dent Hsu Shi-Chang, but the prin-
cess supported the monarch's wish
to marry another girl and it is de-
clared that the quarrel ended with
the suicide of the princess, Anoth-
or report is that the emperor is al
legged to have shown no respect for
the dowager.
This caused her to upbraid the
young mans parents, whereupon
the mother swallowed opium.

NE RRYMAK|NC At
WEDDINGS LASTS
FOR SEVEN DAYS
Entire Neighborhood in Pal
eStine Participates in Fes-
Invites; Saturday Brings
the Climax.
(By The Associated Press.)

Jerusalem, Oct. 16.--The mar
riage customs of Palestine demon
started recently in the wedding of
one OF the prettiest girls of the
city to a well-to-do merchant, are
among the most interesting cele-
brations of this ancient city.
No person who is privileged to
witness one will ever forget either
the gorgeous costumes displayed
or the thrill of the music and
dancing INDUCED in by the guests,
Not only the respective families
of the bride and bridegroom but
also the entire neighborhood' takes
part in the merrymaking which
generally lasts for seven days.
The celebration begins always on
Monday and the wedding cere-
mony, itself, always occurs at
dawn on the following Sunday.
Invitations are sent only to
those from whom presents are ex-
pected. However, any person may
attend who wishes. Presents are
always in the nature of foodstuffs
such as rice, meat, sugar, coffee,
flour butter and vegetables. These
are necessary to provide food for
the hundreds Of guests who flock
to the bridegroom house daily to
take part in the singing and dane
ing.
Saturdays bring the climax to all
joy making. If the bridegroom s
father is of even moderate cirCum-
stance, professional musicians are
hired for the day.
Men and women in Palestine do
not mix together, often, due to the
mentally worthy of association.
Consequently it becomes necessary
to entertain women separately.
On Saturday evening t o'clock
there takes place the shaving of
the bridegroom, feature of the
entertainment. Surrounded by
scores of men and women who keep
up incessant maddening yells,
which may he heard for mile
around, the barber undertakes the
operation.
This done, procession is formed
proceeding to the church with peo-
pie marching two abreast. At the
head come eight kawases (guards)
followed by ten children carrying
in their hands palm branches and
long candles lighted. Immediately
after hobble four priests dressed in
their church robes and singing
psalms. The bridegroom, accom-
panied by his father and the best
man, come next, trailed by 200 or
800 men. At the end of the process
sion come the women and children.
A similar procession having
started at about the same time from
the brides place, the two groups
meet at some appointed place, and
proceed Jointly to the church. All
along the streets men and women,
Weakened by the noise, lean out OF
their windows to watch the bridal
party.
After the wedding ceremony is
performed, a general rush is then
made to the briderroom's house,
where breakfast is served (by this
time it being early morning) to all.

PRESIDENT ONLY
PERSON WHO CAN
AVERT WALKOUT

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 16-The
president is the only person who
can now avert a strike of railroad
workers, Timothy Healy, president
of the International Brotherhood
of Stationary Firemen and oilers,
stated tonight.
RAILROAD men are determined to
strike" he said. $50 intense is the
feeling that it will be difficult to
keep sufficient men at work to pro-
tect property, as we aim to do"
Mr.. Healy spent today conferr-
ing with the general chairmen of
his union for the Northern Pacific
the Great Northern 500 line and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
lines, west. He said that all ar
rangements for the men of his or
SANITATION striking on the systems
were completed
THE railroad men are not
against the reduction in wages, but
the encroachments on their rights
which are being put into effect by
the railroads systems" he said.

Russia was always great on uni

ment wore uniforms under the old
regime and still cling to the GUS
tom. Shabby uniforms, or parts
of uniforms, make up the Co.'S
tunes of nine-tenths of the men
in the streets, and the second
hand clothing stalls display practt-
cally no clothing but uniforms.
Women have also availed them
selves largely of mems uniforms
in improvising costumes. Hats.
coats, waists, and even shoes of
army khaki are seen everywhere
among groups of women. Table
cloths, darnask curtains, furniture
covers of large-flowered cretonne,
rich Persian shawls, masquerade
costumes and bright-colored even
ing gowns have been adapted to
street wear. Fortunately, Russian
women have such an Independent
bearing and are such individualists
that they show no embarrassment
whatever in wearing any clothing
available in this land 80 sadly in

CATAPULT READY TO
LAUNCH AIRPLANES
FROM BATTLESHIPS

Washington, Oct. 16.-The first
complete catapult for launchinf
airplanes from battleships is
ready for installation at the
Hampton Roads air station.
For some time, light, single
scatter planes nave been flown
from battleship turrets, but this
system was not applicable to heav-
Ter planes.
The catapult, however, gives the
necessary impetus under any con
ditions and will not interfere with
functions Of the ship.
The device Is said to be based
on the same principle used by
Samuel Pierpont Langley in
launching his steam driven exper-
mental airplanes in 1896 and 1903
1t comprises a power driven car
riage running on tracks and car
rying the plane. The carriage Is
driven along the tracks until the
speed becomes sufficient to lift
the plane. The carriage is brought
to rest by brakes and shock alb
sorbers and then drawn back to
the starting point.
Besides the new launching cata-
pult, naval designers are working
on plans to equip all ships of the
line with hangers, machine shops
and all necessary aviation equip

silent obedience were impossible
for him. Putting responsibility on
the others he considered cowardly
A monarchs will and signature
were to him a substitute for free
mans in most convictions.
Therefore he soon became en-
barrassing and unbearable to the
third emperor, our Wilhelm II, now
resident in Holland.
The latter wanted the German
people to see in him and his an
cestors alone their source Ct glory
and happiness. Contrary to his
torical facts he called his grand
father, whose greatest virtue was
his subordination to Bismarck's
genius, wilhelm the Great"
At the beginning of the TWEEN
tieth century in consonance with
his infantile belief that 1.-The king s
will is the highest law" he dismiss
ed the chancellor, who in this vain
weakling's opinion was only AN
agent of his majesty's sublime
will" as one would dismiss a valet.
Yet the junker Bismarck, born
III 1917 NIl6 Sthl VI ANctOiNNh -
considered a monarch
necessary. while the Germans,
newly united, began to reflect for
the first time it's meaning. There
arose then the question as to
whether the institution could be
upheld giving a young man of
temperament the posi-
bility Of running the empire--a
young man whose own father
shortly before had desired to eX-
clude from international politics as
being too immature and self-satis-
fled.
Bismarck never doubted that
Wilhelm II. would ruin the empire
after he had once become lntl-
mately acquainted with him. He
said to me You will live to see it,
| am too old, thank God. Such
must endanger even
the powerful German empire
He wrote a book warning the
nation whose majority, however,
was against him and for the kaiser.
This was in 1890.
The third volume of the book is
important as it pictures
the emperor and gives an author
zed warning from the empires ere
ator against a diletant aDolutlsm
leading inevitably to ruin.
