WASHINGTON BIBLE
USED BY HARDING

Washington, Feb. 24.-President-
elect Harding plans on taking his
oath of Office March to press his
lips to the Bible that was used at
the first inauguration of George
Washington.
In accordance with Mr.. Harding's
wish, Elliott Woods, superintendent
of the capitol, arranged today with
the St. Johns lodge, No. l, A. F. NJ,
of New York city for the use of the
Bible. 1t will be brought to Wash
ington by a committee of Masons.
So far as the records show, this will
be the fourth occasion on which
there has been a departure from the
usual custom of having the clerk of
the supreme court furnish the Bible
used in an inauguration.
The Bible is the personal proper
ty of the lodge and has been care
fully preserved.

FLAMES DESTROY
DARLINGTON STORE

Darlington, Feb. 24.-Fire which
was discovered in the A. Hyman de-
partment store at an early hour this
morning and which threatened at one
time to destroy all of the Hyman
buildings which cover an entire city
block with the exception of the Bank
of Darlington, was held in check and
finally confined to the building occu-
pied by the department store% The
whcle block seemed doomed at one
time and much credit is due Fire
Chief Sam Truett and his able assist
ants that no further loss than that Of
the department store building was
done. Mr.. Hyman's loss is very heavy.
He has lived in Darlington over 80
years and is one of its most success
full and trusted business men. He is
a public spirited man and knows no
religion when it comes to helping the
poor and needy. Mrs. Hyman has al
ways taken a very active part in the
management of the store and one
hard feature of the loss is that she
with all of the sales force had work
ed hard all day and up to II o'clock
in the night, opening up new goods
and arranging the stock preparatory
to their spring opening which was to
have been Friday. The insurance on
stock and building amounts to around
S65,00C. The estimated loss is around
$150,000.

PRICE OF BREAD is
INCREASED IN ITALY

Rome, Feb. 23.-The government
today succeeded after long debate
in passing it's bill increasing the
price of bread, introduced in order
to make up in part the big deficit
in the budget due to the previous
fixing of the price at low figure,
The governments majority was
nearly 200.
The chamber also passed an addi-
tional bill authorizing the govern
ment to increase the prices paid for
foodstufs by natives of countries
where Italian money is at discount
This bill had it's origin in the fact
that Italy pays for her COAL. wheat
and raw materials in pounds sterl-
ing and dollars, which means ltal-
ians pays five times the par price.

RustIess Steel.

Rustless steel seems to be COM
pletely established fact and it should
be looked into for employment In
various industries, according to the
Compressed Air Magazine (New York;.
Says this publication: 1T is reported
on German authority that the Krupp
works are paying special attention to
the production of such steel. The
metal contains a large amount OF
chrome and is said to be remarkable
for its hardness and strength. Its
resistance to chemical action Is such
that it Is not affected by boiling In
nitric acid, 1t is used as substitute
for nickel-plated metal in the manu-
facture Of instruments. The firm Is
also studying the question Of using
rustless steel in the manufacture Of
plates for artificial teeth in place Of
the gold or vulcanite now generally
employed"

PLEA FOR THE SMALL BIRDS
Writer Calls Attention to Their Vast
Services in Staying the Ravages
of Insects.

He is no sportsman, and a vandal
sort of butcher. who shoots the
small BIRDS which no stretch Of in
genuity can bring within the definition
Of game.
In some European countries such
shooting is termed sport, and some i'm
migrants have brought the bad habit
with them. All hunters and sports
men should discourage, or when pos
sible, without resorting to too severe
measures, put stop to such butchery.
And that not simply because we ought
to, and sensible folk do like to hear
and see the little things about, but
also because of the actual benefits
they confer upon 1Sankind.
Michelet, the French naturalist and
historian, says in his "Insect Life"
that If all the birds were destroyed
man could not live on earth more than
nine years. He believed that without
birds to check the ravages Of insects,
the insects would first destroy the
growing crops of grain, next the grass
and the foliage, which would leave
nothing on which to feed cattle, hogs,
sheep or poultry. The crops having
been destroyed, all domestic animals
would perish for want of food, and
man in his extremity, in a barren and
desolate world, would be driven to the
necessity Of living entirely on fish.
When the supply Of fish was exhausted
he would starye.-Montreal Family
