ENTERING NEW FIELD OF ART
Why the Average American 10 Invited
TO Read the Works Of Great
Russian Writer.

The American invents situations, the
Russian creates character. do not
mean this as a sneer at our own work
and tastes, but simply as definition.
1t Is safe to say that the ordinary
American reader on train could not
endure the tales Of Chekhov; but he
ought to make the attempt, If only to
learn to enter a new field Of art, to
try something else.
The chief requisite for successful
short story in America is that 1t be
"snappy," "sure-fire"; things must be-
gin to happen quickly, or the reader
will turn to the next author. Many
Of our expert producers Of these
thrillers are filters Of prescriptions |;
they know exactly what is needed,
and give 1t In generous doses.
Some of them are absolutely depend
able. They never disappoint you. The
American snappy story often builds
up an extremely clever and mysterious
situation, and suddenly solves 1t so
that at the conclusion the reader
smiles happily, and knows that he has
been amused, just as he knows that
the marshmall0w tasted good-then
he forgets all about it.-William Lyon

How Deadly Gas Is Made Useful.

BY mixing tear gas, developed for
war use. with deadly but odorless n.y.
drocyanic acid. powerful disinfect-
ant, the chemists of the chemical war
fare service have made a combination
that can be used safely In sanitary
work. Since the hydrocyanic acid gas
kills the eggs of vermin as well as the
vermin, 1t is one of the most effec-
tive disinfectants known. AS 1t has
no taste or smell and produces no dis
comfort when breathed. the first indi-
cation Of its presence In the atmos-
phere is the collapse of the person
breathing it. Tear gas Is detected In
stantly by Its irritant effect on the
eyes even when the air contains only
minute amounts. and the combination
Of the two can thus be escaped be-
fore the cyanide has a chance to act.

Why LYNN Is petested.

In plain truth, lying Is hateful and
accursed vice. We are not men, we
have no other tie upon one another,
but our word. If we did but perceive
the horror and ill-consequences Of it,
we should pursue 1t with fire and
sword, and more Justly than other
crimes. 1 see that parents common
ly, and with indiscretion enough, cor
rect their children for little innocent
faults, and torment them for wanton
childish tricks that have neither i'm
preston, nor tend to any consequence
whereas, in my opinion, lying only,
and, what is of something a lower
form, willful obstinacy, are the faults
which ought on all occasions to be
combated, both In infancy and prog
ress Of these vices. which will other
wise grow up and increase with them
and after a tongue has once got the
knack Of lying, It's not to be imagined
how impossible 1t Is to reclaim it,
Montague.

WHY:
The Roman Empire Lost
Domination on Earth

To certain extent the decline OF
the Roman empire was due to its hav
ing outgrown its strength. Its ramifi
cations In the western hemisphere
rendered Rome peculiarly vulnerable
to barbarian invasion, and deteriora
ton Of the national character brought
about by excess and cOnceit in its
own powers, made the empire less
able to cope with the situation The
division Of the empire into two parts,
the eastern portion being governed
from Byzantium (COnstantinople) and
the western from Rome, added to the,
decay of Its powers. The provinces
drained to hamilton by taxation lev
led for army and court, and in dis
ruption through internal war, could
not repel the barbarian inroads. The
policy at first introduced of cOnciliat-
ing the invader and giving him mill
tary command proved futile, and
eventually Rome was taken by the
Cloths, A. D., 4O8. The invader was
bought out at heavy price, but from
that day the might, of the Roman EN-.
pire departed.

Why She "Borrowed" Clothes,

A woman went into Columbus de-
partment store recently and asked to
see a suit Of clothes for her small son.
She looked over the entire stock very
carefully, but seemed unable to make
a selection. Finally she selected a
suit and cap, but asked that she be
permitted to take the articles home,
that she might have time to give them
further consideration.
The obliging clerk permitted her to
do SO. The next day she returned to
the store with the clothes and cap.
The clerk politely inquired whether
or not her customer had found the
clothing satisfactory
"Oh, yes, they are lovely" said the
woman, "but I'm through with them
now. just wanted to have my little
boys picture taken, and he didn't
have clothes nice enough.

The little joker Is that an enormous

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEAL

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

HOW

NEW ELECTRICAL DEVICE
BENEFITS DEAF PERSONS.
An electrical device has re-
Gently been patented which,
while small enough to be carried
conveniently In the pocket, Is
said to afford very great assist
ance to those who have been
unable to hear any but the loud
es of sounds.
The phonopher, as this device
Is called, consists mainly OF q
small earpiece or receiver, weigh
ing less than half an ounce and
fitting almost invisibly into the
outer ear passage, a small trans
mitter, measuring 2 by inches
and a little over quarter of an
inch In thickness, switch and
a small light battery of high
storage capacity. 1t is claimed
that this instrument enables the
deaf to hear the most subdued
musical sounds as well as con-
versational and public speaking,
without the faintest suggestion
of that tiny tone usually no.
ticed in sOund-transmitting In
struments.
The idea of electrical hearing
aids is not new. sVarious con-
trivances have made their ap-
pearance for the last Is years or
so, but have had many draw
backs, such as the roaring and
Missing sounds, caused by the ex-
cessive vibration of the large
diaphragm, coupled with the
general appearance of these con-
trivances with the large black
box receiver held to the head by
the heavy steel headband. In
the phonOphor the earpiece fits
into the ear and, but for the
slender silk connecting cord, Is
almost inperceptible. Even the
transmitter, that part which col
Iects the sounds, is carried CON-
pletely hidden in a pocket with
out materially impairing its func-
tiOn.
The elimination Of the metallic
tones from the transmitted
sounds has been accomplished
by substituting a thin membrane
In place Of the metal diaphragm,
an idea based upon the action
of the human ear drum.

WORKERS DIRECTED TO GIVE
OPERATORS AID IN PRO.
1EcT,No PROPERTY.
COAL STRIKE CALLED
FIRST TIEUP OF BOTH AN1HRA-
CITE AND eITuMlNoUs MINES
IN HISTORY.
Western Newspaper Union New, ss''ics.l

Indianapolis. Ind.-Suspension OF
work by all union coal miners at mid
night, March 81, was ordered by or
fIcers Of the United Mine Workers OF
America, the call being the first ever -
sued for both bituminOus and anthra-
cite workers to walk out simultaneous
ly. Six hundred thousand men will be
affected by the order, 1t was estimated
Officially The suspension. the order
provided, will continue until stopped
by union officials.
The order, which was sent to the b.
600 local unions, directed the miners
to give the operators their fullest CO.
operation in the protection of mine
property and cOunseled against vio-
lence and violation Of the law. In ad-
dition to affecting all union miners In
the United States. the order also d.
rected approximately 0.850 union men
in western Canada to Join in the walk
out, but did not apply to 14,OOO miners
in Nova Scotia.
Never before in the history of the
coal Industry has a suspension or
strike order called for cessation OF
work by all union miners in the United
States. In the past wage contracts In
the bituminous and anthracite fields
have not expired at the same time, but
n complete tieup in union fields was
considered during the great anthracite
strike in 1902. A sympathetic strike by
the bitumInous miners at that time was
rejected by the unions convention, 1t
being argued that the soft coal work.
ers were bound by contract.
The issuance of the call came with
the recent strike vote of soft coal
miners not completely tabulated, but
it was said officially that the work OF
the unions board of tellers Ind pro
gressed to such Il point as to show
every field voting overwhelmingly In
favor of suspension. Indications
were that nine-tenths of the miners
favored the walkout.
Cessation of the suspension, In
whole or part, is left to the unions
policy committee, composed Of more
than 100 union officinls. Outstanding
among the questions to be considered
by the committee is that Of negotiat-
ing single state wage agreements. A
division within the committee on this
question seems certain, with indica.
tions that a majority will oppose the
single state proposition.
The suspension order, which said
blame for the walkout in the soft coal
fields rested with the operators for
refusing to negotiate new contract
with the union. and with the failure
to reach new agreement with the
hard coal operators, was mailed by Of.
flee employees at the unions headquar-
tcrs here in the absence of officials.
The procedure, however. had previous
ly been arranged by officials, and the
release of the call was directed by Of.
ficers, who were in New York meeting
with anthracite operators.
