Northcliffe and His co-worksru.

Securing Tor his co w0Tka-S some nt the titular distinctions that came to him was one of Northcliffe's specialties while he basked in the sunshine of prime ministers favor.
 A man who began life as North cliffe's office boy is now baronet. Half a dozen reporters and business man. agers were knighted. A Daily Mall news editor who wrote "save coal" post CTS for the government during the war now adorns his visiting card with O. B. E.-COmmander Order of the Brit ish> Empire. The Viscountess North cliffe, who maintained magnificent war hospital out of her private fortune, is Dame Grand Cross Order of the British Empire.
 Northcliffe printing press power made not only himself but his brother, Rothermere, a viscount, and two Ot their younger brothers are baronets. Another brother, untitled as yet, Is undersecretary of state for foreign af- fairs.-Frederic William Vile, in the Saturday Evening Post.

 Twenty-seven of these sisterhoods have cen represented by delegates at the Worlds w. T. c. U. Convention just closed
 Cooperation with church and other temperance organizations is essential to successful progress toward our common objective. It will require prayer, patriotism, push and pep; preaching from pulpit platform and press; parades, posters, publicity, pa- | tience perseverance and political sa- gacity, combined with plenty of cash, | consecration and common sense to reach the haven of world prohibition!
 But temperance reformers delight in large undertakings! We are thrilled by the belief that we shall win "the fight for a clear brain-the holiest
 fight this side Jehovah's throne"
 The Eighteenth Amendment has
 been in force less than three years, tut in this short period of time it has
 magnificently justified the hopes and
 predictions of those who .toiled to
 bring about its adoption. There are
 violations of the law-many and fla
 grant; the Federal machinery is not
 yet adequate to meet the demands of
 the situation. In spite of these ad'
 verse conditions, which are steadily improving, the benefits of prohibition
 to the business world are universally acknowledged. The important fac has been established that revenue
 from the liquor traffic is not needed
 to help run the Government. Bar-les' , hotels, far from being obliged to clos'
 their doors for lack of custom, are st

New Type of Talking Machine.

The exterior Is similar to others of the cabinet form, but the interior contains numerous de partures from the usual make of ip- struments The essential part of the innovation, described in Popular Me chanics Magazine, is a metal appliance fashioned after the throat and ln- closed in the apex of a wooden horn of heavy construction.

 She waved good-by to Mrs. Baseomi and saw her train come in and then a young man stepped on the platform and said: "I'm going too, Molly
 Molly stared at Jim Stevens with fear in her eyes and the shamed blood coloring her cheeks. He continued to look down at her endearingly. Ruth lessly she pushed back the hair from the blue-purpIe scar across her tenn pie and faced him ready for the stab.
 He was either blind or oblivious to this thing that had haunted hei girl hood.
 "You couldn't run away from me like that, Molly" he said. ''We're go ing back together!"
 She continued to stare at him un. believingly until he swept her up the steps of the train.
 But don't you see" she asked
 ''I do see that when you're Mrs James Stevens I'll have to take proper care of you"
 So Molly awoke to the knowledge that love sees with an inner eye and sees only the things that are lovely.

 Emancipated by the Nineteenua Amendment, woman Is now law maker Equal in education with man, and excelling in the sacriace that is syml olized in the Golden Rule of Christ, she will steadfastly invoke the magic hand of law until public opinion brings the golden age of man. As mother and as public school teach CT, hers is the magic hand that points out to millions of boys and girls, thousands of them untaught chemical amalgams of America and Europe, that the way of safety 10th for the individual and the nation is the way of sobrlety, the way of moral health, the way of economic prosperity. With public sentiment kindled tO a realization of the vast importance of law observance there will be a deep- ened desire for law enforcement. It is my firm belief that already the ma | jority of our people recognize the ben efits that accrue from prohibition well enforced. All they need is to be told the truth Banded i'll should be offset by banded good. In popular par lance, 1t has been well said that its dogged as does it." The American mother, fully aroused in defense of lher young, is something. to be reckon ed with. In tremendous earnest the women of America are down on those anti-prohibition organizations that are working to nullify the Eighteenth Amendment.

Work of ArCheoIogists Always
 Intensely Interesting.
Explorers Must Be Trained to the Occupation, and Use the Utmost
 Care in Excavatina.

Peonle often wonder how the ex- nlorers of ancient ruins in Egypt, Palestine, Mexico and elsewhere make their discoveries; how they know where to look for what they find, and how they know that anything may pc found where they search.
 The work of the Harvard university Boston Museum of Fine Arts expedl- tion to Ethiopia, which has spent ten years in Egyptian archaeological e1- ploration and is still working there, IS an example of how such explorations are carried out. Its search has re- suited in the discovery, in an obscure village beyond the borders of Egypt on the banks of the Nile river, of great number of tombs which were found to contain the history of 26 gen. erations of Ethiopian kings who ruled over Egypt, and the recovery rom De- meath the deeply drifted sands of ma terial buried and lost to human knowl- edge for thousands of years, revealing the arts and crafts of this lost civil1za- tion.
 The explorer comes upon mound ar series of mounds, of drifted sand i in the desert in a region known to 1 have been inhabited by ancient races He sets his trained wOrkmen to clear ing away the sand, after first having made photographs of the undtsturbed ! site, As soon as tomb or pyramid IS uncovered, the stairway leading into l the tomb is the first to be cleared 1 This had been filled in after the funeral with the clean debris left after the excavation of the rOck-cut l chambers and the building of the | nvramid. Then the plundererS came at some time or other, and dug hole in the clean filling of each stairway this hole afterward becoming stopped up partly with the things that the grave robbers threw away as value less. and partly with drift sand. Inc robbers were naturally after the golc and jewels they knew had been buried in the royal tOmbs.
 It is easy to distinguish between the original filling and the debris o1 the thieves tunnel. The objects found in the latter usually came from th' royal chamber and, in the records O.
 
 expeditions, have to be carefully dis tinguished from other objects. Whel the doorway at the foot of the stair has been reached, the wOrkmen begin t' clear the pyramid above, or anOthe stairway, until the record of the block ings and measurements of the stair have been made. After that, the san' Is removed, leaving only about eigh inches of the floor debris intact. What ever is found in the sand-and 1t l usually little enOugh-is considered a having washed in from the thieves tunnel outside. When the sand is out then the serious and difficult work o examining the floor debris and remoV ing it bit by bit begins, and for thl only the most skilled Egyptian work CTS are employed, under the super ; vision of a member of the expedition This floor dirt is to the Egyptologis what pay dirt is to the gold mtner.- Popular Mechanics Magazine.

 You were looking at the clock?" he said.
 "Yes," she answered with a faint smile.
 Then he got up and went over to the mantelplece and looked at the clock for fully half a minute.
 ''I don't see anything the matter with it," he said, and returned to his seat.
 And he stayed an hour longer.-Kan- sas City Star.

Mermaid Evidently pomestle

Sailors report sighting a mermaid two miles off from RedondO. It rode, the waves within 6 few feet of their vessel and looked upon them with sad eyes. This mermaid was differ ent from the run of the species in that there was child at it's bosom. It resembled weil-developed human babe of three months old. In this re- spect the Redondo mermaid Is far in advance of any Ocean Park or Venice mermaid ever seen. No Venice mer- maid would think of wheeling baby cab. They spend all their time brush ing their hair.-Los Angeles Times.
 Wind eaused by the Sun
 When any part of the earth becomes heated by the suns rays the air be comes thinner and rises. As t goes up a current of cooler air takes lts place, thus causing the disturbance called wind. Likewise, damp alF- which Is lighter than dry air of the same degree of heat-will also rise and cause a disturbance above and below. It is for this reason that there is usually breeze from the sea by day and from the land by night, the land being heated faster than the water and the fresh air from the sea coming in to take its place. At night the process is reversed. The land cools faster than the water and the wind goes out to sea.

Because those representing the great

to secure needed legislation great cry
went up.about the EARN Bloc" as some
thing terrible to contemplate and danger
Gus in the extreme. All the years there
has been a railroad bloc, steel bloc,
sugar bloc, Wall street bloc, Cham
Der of Commerce bloc, an irrigation bloc
and so on to the end of the chapter, all
well organized to obtain legislation favor
able to their own interests. The friends
of the farmers have now followed suit and
in the future there will be growing farm
bloc, trsding. trafficine, votine TO OBTAIN
what seems best for the farms OF the
great West, for the East plays little part
in legislation today and cuts small
figure. The old-time idea of principle IN
politics is fast giving way to self seeking
interests regardless of the rights OF the
whole. To certain limit there is good In
such a bloc, but the DANGER is that Wild

The leaders of the miners unions have
asked for an investigation of the mine
owners and operators. 1t does not seem
likely that the commission will b. able
to make q report that will be satisfactory
to both of these contending and sppsr
emily determined contestants. The COM
mission has no power to force settle
ment of the controversy, but it is reason
able to expect that full and clear state
ment of all the facts concerning it will be
given and the blame for the shortage and
high cost of coal this fall and winter Will
be placed where it belongs, without fear
or favor. If this is done, Congress and the
Department of Justice, backed by well
informed public, will find some way TO
prevent prolonged coal strike next sum-
mer, for which the operators and the
