A SERVICE THAT SERVES

SERVICE is a much overworked
word. But it is the only word we
can use, for it is the only word that
conveys a meaning we want every
body to understand. Service means
to serve. And to serve means to
minister to; to fulfill a purpose; to
do the work a thing is supposed to
do.
Roll all the definitions Of service
into one little phrase, and 1T Will
mean just this: The object Of all
plumbing. Let us say it again. Ser
vice means Plumbing and Plumbing
means Service. From the day a boy
enters the plumbing trade as an ap-
prentice until he goes on his last
trip, Service is kept ever before him.
He is trained to think Of it all the
time. For without s Err vi @ e,
plumbing means nothing.
When you buy a sewing machine,
a piano or a photograph, you buy 1t
and it Is believed. That Is the end
of it. T. But when you buy plumbing
or heating equipment, it Is only half
bought until it is fully installed.
So, then, into the work Of placing
and fitting each piece Of equipment
is crowded the limit Of SERVICE
that ministers to your comfort and
well-being through the years.

WOMAN JUDGE SAYS JURORS
 THROW DICE

AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 5. - "The ma chinery which our officials use today in the administration of justice is that machinery which was evolved in the days of the stage coach and the knit ting machine" declared Miss Flor ence E. Allen, one of Cuyahoga Coun- tvs twelve Common Pleas judges, ad- dressing the East Akron Board of Trade.
 Judge Allen urged a higher moral code and the introduction of business methods in the administration of jus tice, together with abandonment of outworn machinery of the law in favor of new codes tempered to the needs of the present
 She said judges are hampered in their decisions by the enormous amount of litigation which has to be handled and by the circumstance that there is no acknowledged head to the judicial departments.
 "I have worked with many juries whose ability I questioned" Judge Allen said, pleading that substantial citizens of the community to abandon their practice of pulling every wire to avoid jury service.
 "I know positively of instances in which juries played cards, or shot dice in order to arrive at a speedy decision, and criminals of the worst type were, thereby, turned loose upon the community" asserted Judge Allen.

"D0CTOR OF LOVE"
 IS DEGREE GIVEN BY
 "UNIVERSITY HEAVEN''

LOSANGELES, Oct 5.-Nocturnal wanderings of his soul, while his body rests in sleep, have so advanced that Dr. Guy Bogart, local deliver in things ments, has been awarded a degree in a heavenly University"
 The university" which conferred the honor on Bogart is said to be sit uated in Astraria, one plane beyond Astraland, to which souls are SUD- posedly admitted after the "interrup- tion" known as death.
 At this fount of astral intelligence, Bogart declares, his spirit met and mingled freely with the teachers of those who are still feeling their way around in the first stage of their eX- perience.
 Explaining that love is the basic principle on which the school is con- ducted, Bogart says that Doctor Of Love" is the name of the degree be- slowed on him.
 Another amazing declaration was his assertion that the draft is resort ed to at times in Astraria to obtain sufficient teachers for the work re- uuired in the first plane of hereafter life.
 It was explained to Bogart on one of his astral trips. so he says, that during the World War the death rate was so increased that dire shortage of instructors for newly released souls was experienced. This shortage, he claims, was met only by drafting grad uated souls.
 i Bogart also stated that Astrar1a IS but a stepping stone to many other higher plans, toward which the souls tourney as they fit themselves for the responsibilities thereon. On his trips Bogart says he IS Ire ouently met by a friend of his named "D. J.," with whom he was associated constantly through many ages. SeV' eral times in previous earthly exist ence, Bogart says. he and ID. J, nave { lived their lives in close contact, the former declares. According to Bogar' his much reincarnated friend finally has passed on into other planes oi the beyond while Bogart has been al lotted another existence on ths sphere.

TURKS STARVE REFUGEES IS
 CHARGE MADE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4.-That the Turks are purposely starving thous- ands of Armenians and Greeks so that they will die on the road while being "deported" is the charge made by J. Herbert Knapp, American civil engineer and recently in charge of relief work in the Near East who has just returned to Los Angeles.
 These charges were made in a report of Turkish excesses against the Greeks and Armenians in Ana tolia and filed at the local office of the Near East Relief by Knapp. Knapp also said the State De- partment is preparing $100,000 claim against the Turkish Govern ment as reparation for the murder of his brother George P. Knapp, a missionary, by the Turks.
 RELATES CRUELTIEs
 Relating details of the Turkish persecution of the Greeks and Ar i IUSulduS, SdIu
 "Deportees began to arrive in Arabkir in July of last year. The first arrivals were about 600 Greeks of military age. AS time went on the women and children began to arrive. Occasionally there would be an entire family, but in most cases the mothers and children would be without any male relative. There was one group of about 100 men over fifty years old, some of whom ap- peared to be ninety years old They remained a few days and were sent on toward Harpoot.
 "A large group of more than 1000 arrived in the late Fall. They were herded on a hill not more than 200 yards from a ditch of running water. However, the unfortunate people were not permitted to have any of the water, but were forced to buy drinking water from the town water vendors.
 AGED REFUGEES
 "It was an unforgettable sight to see middle-aged and old women, not to mention the younger women and a few men, and their children, with household articles on their backs, trudging' off in the bitter cold A biting blizzard broke upon them shortly after they left Arabllir. The next day we saw the road strewn with dead. Many of the wom- en were unable to carry their chil- dren and were compelled to leave | them beside the road. We took twen- 1 ty of these youngesters into our or phanage, where many of them died from exposure which they had been subjected to before reaching Arab kir. It was evident that the Turkish policy of deportation was intended so that victims would perish on the road.
 "Another method was to give | foo to thase who worked on the road in such limited quantities that allowance was cut. The vic tins invariably died"
 With Miss B. B. Murdock, a Chi cago nursey who was also sta- toned at Arabkir, Knapp made the | journey out by native cart, a dis boat to Constantinople.
