An English business man backed me
into corner In Constantinople club,

what?
look here, make note Of this,
what? They celebrate five Christmas

town. Oh, at least five. On my
honor, old chap! English, Armenian,
Greek, Russian, Turkish, Jewish-real-

what they are. BY the time the last
New Year is over one can just totter
around. Oh, absolutely, I give you
my word! And then there is the Rus

racking. It lasts from one to two
weeks, and one is obliged to do fear

lasts one goes up to any one and says
He is risen and kisses him three

There has never been any love lost
between Tommy and his teacher. Tom

occasionally unjust person, who has
never known what it Is to be young,
while the teacher considers the little
chap both stupid and mischievous.
"You are not attending to what

in the midst Of an address to her
class.

Attention to Education To-days
Pressing Need.

Speaking before the Boston meet

Association recently, Secretary of
State, Charles Evans Hughes de-
-manded more attention to self-dis-
cipline in schools. He said in part:
THE American ideal. and it must
be maintained if we are to mitigate
disappointment and unrest, is the
ideal of equal educational opportun-
ity. not merely for the purpose of en-
aiding one to know how to earn a
living, and to fit into an economic
status more or less fixed, but giving
play to talent and aspiration and to
the development of mental and
spiritual powers.

Remarkable Old Beliefs.


Since the age of legend, thunder
and lightning making has always been
made the final proof of the supernat-
ural. Thor and his huge hammer,
which accounted for the thunder to
the old Norsemen, and Jove or Jupiter,
who hurled his lightning and thun-
der in anger and thus explained this
natural phenomenon to the old Greeks
and Romans, are only two of the
hundreds of instances in ancient be-
lief.
In later times the brand Of magi-
clan and evil-doer was put upon many
alchemists, with rumors that splitting
tongues of fire and crashes OF thunder
were seen and heard in their labora-
tories.

mentalists are just as dangerous as
the materialists. No one will dis
pute the Importance of making study
interesting, of recognizing the in
dividual bent or special gifts. But
the primary lesson for the citizens
OF democracy is self-control. and
this is achieved only through self
discipline.

DATEF0R TRIAL .
Of WAR FRAUD
CASE To Be SET
Philips & Stevens Lumber
Company Deal Will Be
First Heard.
BY Universal Service.

When the docket is made up for
the October term of the District Of
Columbia Supreme Court. beginning
next Monday, the Philips & Stephens
lumber cases will be set for trial as
the first of the war fraud prosecu-
ton here. It was learned today.
These cases probably will be reach.
ed in December, but not earlie:.
There are ten defendants indicted in
these cases, John l.. Philips and
John Stephens, members Of the firm
of Philips & Stephens. and Ernest c.
Morse, former director of the sales
OF the War Department, being the
principal ones. The others are
Charles S. Shotwell, New York;
George NJ. Chambers, Newark; Frank
T. Sullivan, Buffalo; Roland Perry,
Washington; Charles Philips, jr., Al.
lanta, and Gus Eitgen and Mitchell
A. Tourart, jr., Pensacola.
The war frauds section OF the De
partment of Justice is now at work
preparing these cases for trial. The
Government, 1t is said, has fifty I'M
portant witnesses to testify, but is
not dependent upon any single
witness to develop its case against
the accused men.
1t Is probable that Assistant At
IOIney "SlCioi IN PNi7'ti'
direct the trial of these cases for the
Government, since he was in ch urge
of the preliminary Investigations and
in the presentation OF evidence be-
fore the special war frauds grand
Jury that returned the indictments.
However, 1t may be necessary to turn
the courtroom WORK over to some a.
torney of the war frauds section, as
Mr.. Grim is also engaged in prepar.
ing the Bosch Magnetic and Chemical
Foundation cases that are TO be pre-.
scented to the next war frauds gran1
fury, he having been working IN
these for a year or longer.
The new grand Jury will be drawn
next week and will begin it's labors
the week following, according to
present plans. The Bosch case is
rxnected to be taken up first.

Lesson In Court
Etiquette

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Su-
preme Court Justice Callaghan
stopped a divorce hearing in
Brooklyn for few minutes yes
terday and taught a class in court
etiquette, the object-lesson being
a young man, resplendent In new
fall garb, who forgot to take off
his delicately tinted hat.
The victim, seated in front
row of the courtroom, with his
new hat perched on his head at
a rakish angle, did not notice
Justice Callaghan's stony stare.
When the justice asked him to
"Come up here" he snapped out
OF a revery, blushed and started
to remove his headgear.
"No, keep it on" said Justice
Callaghan. "It's a pretty snappy
hat. Come up here and let's all
look"
Violently blushing, the youth
sat beside the Judge until the
courtroom had it's fill of giggles
at his expense, when he was
allowed to regain his seat.
