March of EUents

very young men enter his shop,
while third stood at the door
way. When they approached him,
they shook and their mouths
twitched so that they could not
speak. Bruins, in his dying state
ment, later said he suspected the
youths intended to be bandits,
but he was AMUSED at tn, evil
dent cowardice.
He did not know how deadly
cowardice could be. For when he
asked roughly, "Well, what do
you want7" the boy at the door,
the lookout" fired his revolver
three times, at the risk of killing
his fellow-bandits, then all three
fled. And the grocer is dead,
killed by cowardice that pulled
the trigger.
The disease that breeds in the
slums threatens the children in
the fine house on the hill.
The cowardice bred in half fed,
half-starved bodies and ignorant
brains threatens the prosperity

keeper Make better, stronger,
Drawer human beings, and you
will have a safer world to live in.
You read about the little earth
quakes in Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee. And you know, of
course, that an ordinary earth
quake, if you live in a house prop
erly built, is nothing to worry
about.
A LITTLE earthquake is moth
ing at all. The Chinese think it
means that the earth dragon is
angry, shaking himself because
he is disturbed. Our primitive
ancestors believed that earth
quakes indicated the anger of the
Lord, forgetting that He could
easily punish the wicked adult
without killing babies in earth
quakes.
We know now that an earth
quake is simply the old earth CON
tinuing to settle down, as she has
done for tens of millions of years.
The inside of the earth, boiling
hot and partly liquid, covered
with hard crust on which we
live, shrinks as it gets colder. The
crust settles here and there, al
most imperceptibly. TO the earth
it is nothing. To us microbes
living on the earth's surface it
seems like a great deal.
We measure the earthquakes
now with the seismograph, keep
track of them and study them, in
stead of being afraid of them and
blaming them on an angry earth
dragon below or an angry Divine
Ruler above, as we used to do.
That's Improvement.

er Des Lacs."
And 10 and behold! every single
official elected was a woman. The
president of the town, the trus-
tees, the treasurer, the marshal,
and the justice of the peace are
all ladies. Good suffragettes that
hope for miracles will be disap-
pointed. Des Laos will still be

Foolish men that think women
unfit to hold office will also be
disappointed. Women are just
about as capable as men, perhaps
a little more so in town govern
ment, which is really a kind of
housekeeping.
The Importance of woman suf-
frage is not in the superior ability
of women, but rather in their bet
ter moral character, and in the
fact that, when WOMEN vote,
MEN are compelled to ask them
selves What do the women
want?" in order to hold their
jobs.

It is fortunate thing for Eu-
rope and the world in general that
the most powerful man in the
world just now is the Welshman,
Lloyd George. If the white race
retains it's supremacy, and its
civilization in Europe, it will have
Lloyd George to thank for it.

If You Get Mad, Chen a
Button or Piece of StruU

- NE of our readers, woman confesses that she is
III cursed with violent temper, and wants to know
~ what she do to it.
High temper is usually tempefamental-that is to say
it is part of the individuals makeup And there is moth
ing harder in this world than to change ones TEMPER
AMENT.
Of all temperamenta qualities bad temper is, per-
haps the most difficult to get rid Of since the attacks of
temper shut out judgment at the start and make reform
almost impossible
This woman, however, is the right road, SINCE
SHE RECOGNIZES THAT HER TEMPER is BAD
Most of US imagine that we have not bad tempers. We
think that subjected to irritation more than
others and that we are justified in getting mad
There certain ways of mechanically calming VIC
lent temper Our reader has, perhaps, heard of them.
One plan that is recommended is for the angry person
TO repeat the Lords Prayer in his mind to count up
to twenty before saying anything
That recommendation if it could be acted upon would
have good result. But very few men or women in q
temper feel like going the Lords Prayer in their
minds counting up to twenty.
more practical suggestion, and with physiology
cal behind it, is this:
If you in rage and fear that you will say some
thing foolish, put in your mouth something that you can
chew on-a piece of straw, button, ball of
paper.
There is all actual material explanation for the good
results to be derived in this Temper accompanied
almost always by sudden rush of blood to the brain
Sometimes this rush of blood is great almost to
cause temporary insanity.
If you put something in your mouth and chew it. YOU
will find it very quoting. The process of chewing
causes activity of the savary glands and this in turn
draws the blood to the stomach and from the brain
Another very valuable plan is always to apologize I'd
everybody concerned after display of temper. This
apt to bore those who receive the apology, but il
makes the hottempered feel foolish and he will real
ze as his temper that he must be apollo
gizng his mind takes different and he can learn
gradually to control himself
| very sad fact is this, that many men and women are
distinctly GLAD of having hot temper. They feel that
there is something very credabe something almost arts
tocrac and noble getting angry slight provocation
They encouraged in this belief by better natured
people around them who give in to their whims out of
dread of their temper and flatter their vanity.
AS matter of fact the person who habtually shows
temper apt to be good deal of bully. If you watch
him carefully you will find that his high temper usually

The who is hot tempered with those whom she

This class Of hot tempered humanity consists largely of

-FOUR HORSE,NEN" SNASVES
 RECORDS.

The long-awaited Rex Ingram pro duction of '"rhe Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" is coming to the Pal ace theater beginning Sunday night for an entire week. This is the pie ture that cost Metro sl.00O.00 to make, and, from all accounts, the s1,- 00a,n00 was well spent, as critics agree that all other efforts at prodlc- ton on grand scale have been sur passed and record runs have been made in New York, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Los Angeles and other cities where the picture has been previously shown.
 The appeal of the story itself has already been proved through the sue cess of the novel by Vicente Blasco Ibanez upon which the photodrama is founded. This production is report ed to have followed faithfully the epic tale of human passion against the background of the Great War as re- lated by lbanez. -advt.

NEW LONDON CHOSEN
 CONVENTION PLACE
Post Office Clerks Will Meet There
 Next Washington's Birthday

New Haven, Feb. o3-The next convention Of the state federation of post office clerks which was formally organized yesterday with Charles w. Ryan of Hartford, president. will hold its next convention al New London on Washington's birthday of next year. The state body becomes a part Of the nationa! federation Of post office clerks which has afilia- tions with the American Federation of Labor There is another organi- zation the united national association of postal clerks which is not affiliated with the labor organization. Yesterdays convention adopted q re solution placing it on record as favoring a rule under which a postal employe shall be paid a full days work for Sunday even if the full day on Sunday is not worked The argu- ment advanced in support of the res olution was that an empoye called upon for a part of Sunday in effect lost the use of the whole day.
 Opposed to Politics.
 The convention also went on record in favor of having the postmastership taken out of politics mainly on the ground that men outside a post office know nothing about the postal service and that it would be better for the government and for the service to have the head of the office kept there or appointment of a successor made from within the office.
 The convention also favored a re- quirement that candidate for a should have d certificate of fitness before appoint ] ment.
 Certain proposed pension measures were adopted.
