Many Would Marry
This Immigrant Girl

Several young Englishmen seeking
wife or a housekeeper have been
visiting the detention house Of the
Bureau of immigration, at Gloucester
City, and seeking an interview with
Ann Helen Hight, pretty, twenty-five
year-old English girl, who drove IN
ambulance for the British forces dur
ing the war and now awaits the ar
rival of more money from her sweet
heatr, c. B. Majors, so she can resume
her journey to Troup, Texas, where
she expects to marry Majors. A letter
with some money arrived last week.
The young woman complained
against the swarm of suitors, and an
order was issued by Commissioner
James L. Hughes that no more visitors
can see her.
The young woman is attractive and
sensible and would make any man
good wife; but she has her heart set
on Majors, and she expects to be his
bride.
Majors was connected with the
United States navy during the war and
met the girl in England They became
fast friends, and he proposed and was
accepted. AS soon as he returned to
Texas and was mustered out of the
strvice he sent $500 to the girl to come
to Texas. She arrived on the Ameri-
can Line steamship Haverford last
week.
The fund became exhausted in buy
ing clothes, arranging for tht trip and
paying for the passage. When she ar
rived at the detention house a message
was sent to Majors to forward money
When found he wired he would send
the money. Some came by main and
the rest will arrive soon.

Clock that Really
"Tells" the Time

A New York inventor, w. Hartman,
has for seven years been making use
of clock of his own invention and
construction which actually tells" the
time. So it is apparent that this clock
has rugged and lasting mechanism,
and is out of the experimental class.
The clock in question is a speaking
clock; that is to say, it speaks every
fifteen minutes, announcing the cor
rect time The voice record is carried
on band of film which is perforated
in much the same manner as the
stand motion picture film. A conven-
tional monograph reproducer is used
to translate the latent sound record
into actual sounds. Pressing button
causes the clock to repeat the time,
while another button keeps it silent
The clock is only is inches high. 10
inches wide and inches deep.

80 P. C.. of Fir
Mills to Close
By Dec. Is as
Orders Decline

Seattle.-Production of fir lumber
for for the last week again has fallen
coincident with the announcement that
so per cent of the fir mills will be
closed by Christmas through lack of
orders. A total of 121 association
mills, which represent commodity pro-
duction, accepted orders for only 673
carloads to move East, the smallest
volume in single week this year. The
mills hold an unshipped balance of
3107 carloads, estimated 10000 feet to
the car.
Production for the week was 1895
per cent under normal and is constant
ly falling. The total of new business
received TO rthe week was 31,648,211
feet, which included both eastern rail,
intercostal and export charges.
Prices at the mills have held steady
at $40 to $50 for vertical grain floor
ing, $26 to $29 for slash grain flooring,
$26 to $35 for ceiling, $2S to So for drop
siding, $3.50 for breads and shiplap,
and $3.50 to $3.50 for common di-
mension. 1t is felt that whit the gene
raj closing down of the industry, the
market would stiffen but for the alb
normally heavy stocks of lumber that
have been piling up at the mills the
the last sixty days. Whether the mills
will insist with the spring trade that
they endeavor to move stock at profit
or whether the long, lean period will
stimulate them to accept business by
price cutting, is not yet disclosed. The
custom has been to get the business
following a prolonged dull period
Inquiries through the week show
that the eastern buyers may be on the
fir lumber market at an earlier date
tina nat first expected. There are some
prospective orders for February load
ing, but majority of mills and whole
salers do not anticipate a brisk re-
sumption of the demand until May.
1t is felt that the readjustment of
prices with the safety of rebuilding on
the ruins will not be possible before
that The action of the steel market
which is still unsettled to the view
point of the west coast lumberman,
must first be more definitely defined.
Throughout the fir lumber trade the
conviction is felt that 1921 will be a
heavy construction year, the only ques-
ton at issue being at what time the re-
snmntion may start

Mob Ranges Three
Men in Cemetery

Santa Rosa, Cal-George Boyd, Ter
renee Fits and Charles Valento, ac-
cused of having murdered Sheriff Pet
ray. of Sonoma county, and Detectives
Jackson and Dorman after attacking
a score of young women last Sunday
afternoon, were taken from the county
Jail here last week and hanged.
At 1890 A. M, a mob of about 100
men, all wearing black masks, entered
the Jail, overpowered the officers there,
took their keys and removed the pri-
ssoner to waiting automobiles
Fifteen machines carrided the party.
They moved quickly down the street
to the cemetery, three blocks beyond
the city limits. The men were taken
from the machines and hanged to an
oak tree inside the cemetery.
For fifteen minutes, while the bodies
dangled from the oak tree in the glare
of three automobile headlights, the
mob waited at the scene to make GER
tain their grim task was completed.
Then all departed leaving the bodies
swinging in the darkness.
The three men when taken from
their cells wore only underwear. This
proved to be their death garb.
The oak tree had been selected
earlier. Over one limb hung three
ropes and at the end of each was a
moose, tied wit ha "hangman's knot"
that fits behind the left ear.
Boyd went along without struggle.
He made no comment Valento expos
tulated, but not vehemently. Fits
fought to escape his fate. They gagged
him with towel.

Venus, the Queen
of the Planets

The beautiful and most brilliant of
the planets, when visible before sum
rise, was called by the ancients Phos-
phorus, Lucifer or the Morning Star,
and when she shone in the evening,
after sunset. Hesperus, Vesper, or the
Evening Star.
Next to Mercury, Venus is nearest
tod the sun, and greatly resembles the
former in many respects. Her dame
ter is 1900 miles; her volume about
four-fifths that of the earth, and her
desity is almost the same as our
planet
When Venus is at an elongation of
40 degrees, her brilliancy is greatest.
and renders a minute examination
through telescope impossible.
She is fifty times as bright any
other star in the sky, and can come
nearer to us than all the rest of the
heavenly bodies, except the moon.
She can get within 26,OO0,000 miles
of us when in inferior conjunction
that is, when a planet is between the
earth and the sun; and at superior
conjunction-when the sun is between
the earth and the planet-she is 16,.
100000 miles away.
Like Mercury and the moon, Venus
appears to us Portals in phases, and we
see her either full" or new" or in
souarters.'s

Whereas, through the activities of

The Observatory

The Observer loves children. And
so it happened, i nthe not far distant
past, that he took three little girls,
about ten years old, for a ride in his
car. They were adorable children and
loved their chauffeur mighty, for many
times they had sat on his lap to help
steer the car, and often they perched
on his knees to hear fairy stories.
When it was about time to turn the
car toward home, the erstwhile tour
lists were beguiled by wayside spring
and the three children fiocked out to
throw water and drink little.
When it came time to start again,
the question arose as to which child
should sit beside the driver. The argu-
ment waxed bitter, the party was in
danger of disruption. Suddenly one
of the aspirants to the chosen place
declared, II shall sit side of him cause
love him most"
The argument was convincing-fo
the moment. Then the blonde of the
party spoke up. you can't, either
I'm going to sit side of him. l love
him as much as love my father"
A gloom fell upon the other two.
They were defeated; when with
fervor that bespoke inspiration, the
third and youngest forever silenced
her companions. 81 shall sit there"
she said, "for love him most of all
love him more than | love my
father"
Have you ever wanted to motor, with
two men in uniform on the front seat?
Have you ever wanted to ride feeling
safe, knowing that your chauffeur is
SIRE to observe the speed laws, never
to make mistakes in traffic rules? You
admit that it must be "a grand and
glorious feeling"
We'll, if you feel that way about it
here is the way to do it. Call taxi"
and one will roll up with one of Phila-
delphia's finest" seated alongside the
chauffeur. The strike among taxi
drivers is responsible for the added
attraction.
