MODERN LOVE HURLS
 LIGHTNING Ar WILL
Million Horse Power FOrkcd Tongues Crackle in SteinmetZ's LabOra-
 tory at Schenectady.

Schenectady. N. Y., March (Asso- ciated Press) )-Schenectady has a modern love who sits on his throne in a laboratory of the General Electric company and hurls thunderbolts at will.
 He is pr. Charles P. Steinmetz, elec- trical wizard, who announces he has succeeded in producing and controlling an indoor thunderstorm with all the characteristic of its natural brother except the thunder clouds. At dem. onstration of his lightning generator" few days ago, the familiar forked tongues flashed through the labora- tory with a deafening crash, splintered large block of wood, huring the fragments twenty-five feet, and ripped a miniature tree from tip to base.
 The bolt carried the energy of l. 000,0 horsepower-about one five hundredth of the energy of a natural lightning bolt, Dr. Steinmetz estimates and lasted for the one hundred thousandth part of a second
 Dr. Steinmetz hopes his apparatus will contribute largely to the develop ment of lightning arresters, as it provides an opportunity for study at close range of the phenomenon that Benjamin Franklin began to investi- gate years ago with his kite, string and key.

we may come Ia like our work and that is, doing only what we like. There are two things which determine what man should do; his liking for that thing and his capacity for doing that thing, The latter is better crI- terion for choosing life work, be- cause if n man can do thing well he will come to like fl.
 How People Think
 People, as a rule, think that if they like thing. they like it, and if they don't like n thing they don't like it, and that's all there is to it. Is a fellow helpless as to his likes and dis likes? Is there always this discrep- ancy between play and work? No. There is n secret of liking some things and disilting others.
 Certain things have to he done and one should learn to like those things, Some people seem to think that likes and dislikes are permanent. Not at all!
 When a fellow begins to lay the blame for his failures on another fel- low it is pretty certain that fellow will dislike the cause for his failures. If he lays blame for his successes on the. other fellow he will come to like that fellow.
 Clue to liking Work.
 There is clue to liking work, and that Is, to find out what that work means in ones life. The fine things of life are worth cultivating, We do not appreciate all the things in life, but we should and we can"
 Professor Dodge then explained how a mans work is connected with his personality. He said that in de- veloping a personality, doing ones work well plays big part. There is big life job for every young man, and the work those young men are doing now is that which is swinging open the doors to a life job. We should see our job with relation to its bearing on our life work he said. Gives Fine Example. | He gave a very interesting example of how, by practice, we can get to like the things we dislike. In his labora- tory there is a piece of apparatus in which, at certain time every day, be sat. He was revolved in that appa- ratus at top speed six times every day for ten days After the first test he was so nauseated that he could hard ly stand. After the second trial he | felt better and when the tenth time came around he would rather have sat in that chair than to have eaten' Thus, things we dislike may speedily become things we like.
 In concluding, MT. Dodge said that he hopes every young man who heard him last evening will learn to see

KEEP URIC ACID
 OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat Less Meat and
 Take Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known author ity. We are advised to dress warm 1y; keep the feet dry; avoid expos ure; eat less meat. but drink plenty of good water.
 Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out fin the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are clos ed thus forcing the kidneys to do dou- ble work, they become weak and slug glish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, even tuaIIy settling in the joints and mus cles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from anA pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tablespoon full in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulat ting the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Hthie and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rneum matiSn.-AdV.

OCEAN RATE WAR LOOMS; CUNARD
 HAS NEW PLAN
Will Build Fleet of Oil Burn CTS, All With But One Funnel.

London, Jan. 13.-A vast scheme for improved ocean travel between American and England is outlined by the Cunard Steamship Company, on such a scale as to indicate an inn business end sightseeing trips abroad markedly cheaper this year.
 oil is the keynote of the new ship ping campaign. It means cheaper transportation traffic. A fleet of pre- war proportions, all oil burners, with but one funnel.
 This enables more accommoda- ton to be devoted to passengers be- cause of the incorporation in the de- sign of the latest developments in marine engineering" the Cunard an- nouncement said
 Then the company adds the Strik- ing, prophetic announcement:
 Tt may be only a brief step from one funnel to no funnel at ail.''
 New traffic plans are announced as follows:
 Express service, Southampton. Cherbourg. New York weekly. Ser engarta, 52,o00 tons; Mauretania, 31.-- ooo,. the worlds fastest liner; and Aquitan:a, 46 900 tons.
 Direct service between Britain and Canada to be resumed. Liverpool Queenstown, Quebec.

 The Liverpool, Queenstown and Boston route is to be reopened by the Laconia of 10000 tons, carrying three classes of passengers. The Sa- mara sof the same tonnage, both be- ing lister ships of the Scythia which is now in service. will be added to the Liverpool Queenstown and New York service, making practically a keely service between Liverpool and New York.
 Cunard's continental service will be increased by the addition of the Caronia, of 10000 tons. to the Ham burg-New York service
 Cross Atlantic rates have quadru- pied in four years. The down grade has now been reached. It is even possible that pre-war prices will be quoted if the shipping war eventu- ates on the scale that appears to be indicated

PASTOR HEAVES
 VERBAL BOMBS
 AT JAZZ MUSIC
Rev. HI. B. Smith, of Los Angeles, Quotes fro m Paul and Suggests Re1ne- dies for Evils of Dance Hall Where Jazz Reigns Supreme.

Los Angeles. Jan. 1S.-In a sermon on Should Christians Dancer" or Jazz Music and the Public Dance Hall" the Rev. Dr. Herbert Booth ian Church. of Los Angeles, housing one of the largest congregations of that denomination in the world, quoted a dancing master as having said: Five doses of jazz music would have the same result as five ti oses of whiskey."
 Dr. Smith in his sermon, which at tracted much attention in Los Angeles religious circles, also said:
 f'Dr. Frank Morton, National Mu- sical Scientist, says that jazz music is nu chmore intoxicating than whiskey. He calls jazz Musical Bolshevism,' and claims it has the same disorgan- izfng effect on the nerve centers as moonshine liquor. He made an ex- pertinent some time ago as follows: He opened a grand piano and said to the auditor, Relax the muscles. He then struck a soothing chord, and the listener closed the eyes. Then he struck the dominant seventh, and there was awakened in the listener a tenseness and anticipation.
 ''Dr. Morton said, Now and broke into a Hindu incantation of the Far East The uncanny notes caused a swimming sensation and a tingling of the nerves akin to intoxicaEion. Then, with a bang, he broke the charm by the common chord. Com menting on the experiment, he said: The effect of rhthmic repetition is to drive it's votaries to the extremes of valor, depravity and rapture greater than the strongest liquor.'''
 In the course of his sermon Dr. Smith enunciated four principles which he said would help to guide Christians in the whole matter of amusem ent, not merel dances. The four principles are as follows:
 Four Principles.
 First test: Does the thing in question enslave and drag men down? lawful for me- but I will not be brought under the power of sim
 Second test: Does the thing in question possibly help me and build me up in body, mind and spirit Quot ing again from Paul, 'All things are lawful for me. but all things do not edify or build up.'
 ''Thtrd test: Does the matter in question cause others to stumble over me? Quoting from Paul. If meat make my mother to offend I will eat no meat so long as the world stand eth.'
 Fourth test: Can the pleasure consistently fit in with the glory of God? Quoting from Paul, 'Whatso- ever ye do, whether ye eat or drink, do all to the glory of God.'"
 In concluding the sermon, which has aroused wide comment, DE.
 What is the correction for the evils of the public dance hall? One way is to turn on the light of day. Official inspection will never do it, but the unofficial inspection of people who are interested in raising the level of the community will help. Another thing would be to prevail on the so- ciaI leaders to set the right style for youth to initiate. As long as society leaders engage in questionable dances so long will the public dance halls follOW'

Washington, Jan. 13.-Senate lead CTS have begun a movement to preak through one of the oldest traditions of that august body-the right to talk until the cows come home" The rules governing c1oture will pc amended if possible. to end the hn- bustering which has blocked leglsla- ton so effectively in the past. The judiciary committee of the Senate has Approved an amendment to the rules limiting debate on amy question when ever q qnaiority of the Senate desires such limitation.
 This effort to abridge the sovereign prerogative of the legislators in the Upper House of Congress is certain to meet with very determined opposl- tion from members of both the Dem ocratic and Republican parties. The minority groups will oppose this rad ica1 innovation in a vigorous manner.
 The movement to limit debate arose as a result of the complaint of majority leaders in the Senate that they could not get laws passed owing to lengthy speeches of members op- posing the measures The senate IS far behind the House in the matter of actual accomplishment as a result of the rule under which one Senator can relieve another at speech making, thus dragging out a filfbuster for sev- era1 weeks.
 the House are held up in the Senate because Senators can't find time to wesr out that body in discussion upon them Some of the administra- tion's pet bills are included in this number.
 Under the present rules it takes a two-thirds majority to declare a clo- ture whereby debate is limited and a vote on the question forced. Clo- ture, however, seldom is applied for the minority party rarely will agree to it.
 The proposed cloture rule would permit a majority vote to apply the cloture on petition of 24 Senators. To pass the new rule requires a two thirds majority, and therein Republi- can leaders find a great obstacle.

LADIES! DARKEK
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
 Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for Restoring faded. gray hair to it's na- tural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage ana Sulphur Com pound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears. and after another application or two, it be- comes beautifully dark and glossy

REOPENIN0 OF
 GERMAN CONSUL OFFICE QUIET
Broadway Did Not Pause To Notice When Consul Karl Lang Took Over His Office, Moving Furniture F m Swiss Consulte Next Door-Kaiser's Pic ture Missing.
(By International News service.)

New York, Jan. 13.-BuSy, bustling Lower Broadway paid no heed to the reopening of German Consular head quarters here The street resounded with only the usual workaday din as Karl Lang took over his office at No. II Broadway.
 Just a few short months before, skyscrapers had thrown to the four winds echoes of the trample of marching feet and clamors and shouts Tor victorious generals
 Before 191 the opening of an i'm partant office of the German Empire would have been the occasion for os- tentatious ceremony, and the world, and Broadway, would have stopped and taken notice.
 After-the-U opening of the offices was modest. Chairs, desks, filing cab inets and typeWriterS were dragged across the hall from the Swiss Con- sular offices, dusted off and put in their places. Broadway paid no mo- tlce. Broadway had apSola auded when the Imperial German flag was hauled from the flag pole at the top of the building on the opening of hostilities
 One decoration of the old German offices was missing after the rooms had been prepared for occupancy. It was an old portrait of William Io- nenzoIern, stored with the furniture Tn the Swiss offices. It was gone
 Other Changes, Too.
 
 Outside the building there were changes from the pre-war order of things.
 At No 45 Broadway, a few doors north of the newly opened offices, the former amburg-Am merica.n Steam ship Company had headquarters. To- day all floors of that building are oc- cupied by United States Shipping Board offices.
 Members of the German Consular staff formerly looked out of their of flee windows, across North River to Aoboken piers, where German flags flew from the masts of innumerab b le liners and freighters. Today some of the same ships may be seen, but there IS no German flag. Ships like the Va terland, now the Leviathan, now fly the American or some other flag.
 In the old days the Germans used also to look down at the statue of CTermania in front of the Customs House. The war. aided by a sculptor's ch1sel' altered that block of marble to make cut of it a representation ot the herotsm of Little Belgium.
 Less han three months ago Ferdi- nand Foch, generalissirno of the aI- lied armies rode up Lower Broadway and was applauded to the echo Ger many's re-entry into intercourse with America was unheralded and unno- ticed.
