Rioh Iron Ore Vein In Russia.

More interesting than most of the
recent news from Russia Is the report
that a scientific mission, supported by
the soviet government, hns discovered
in the province Of Kursk, 300 miles
south of Moscow, vast vein of iron
ore 100 miles long, which explains an
old mystery. Fifty years ago 1t was
noted that In this region the compass
was DETECTED as much as 10 degrees
from the magnetic north, and mag
netic ore was supposed to be the cause,
but numerous borings revealed no
trace of II. Either the soviet sclen-
lists have applied new scientific de
vices or they have worked with more
assIduity than their predecessors.
They found the ore at depth Of from
500 to 800 feet and hope that II VIII
develop into one Of the worlds largest
fields. This discovery in RUSSIA may
have grent economic and political I'm
portance for Europe. 90 Springfield

FIRE ENGINE CHIEF MOURNER
Seen Recently In Funeral Procession
at Washington, and the Explana-
tlon lie Simple.

Washington has seen many unusual
sights, remarks the Star, but from Its
beginning as that Indian place" to
It's now nearly half-milliOn people, only
once has 1t witnessed fire engine as
chief mourner at the funeral Of a pri-
vate citlzen--chief m0urner, girdled
around with crepe and rumbling along
from house to cemetery, tolllng Its
muf1ed dlrge every step Of the way.
1t was an interesting story to hear
about, which Is why II Is passed along:
The funeral was that Of Henry Adj
Olson, who, for twenty-five years, was
mayor of Georgetown. The mayor was
postmaster of Georgetown during the
Lincoln administration also police and
school commissioner and likewise head
of the Georgetown fire department.
The engine that featured his solemn
passing was named the Henry Addison
with every fireman In the engine
house for godfather.

VAIN UNTIL WELL INTO AGE
ofay-Halred Men Far More Particular

Somehow, when friend husband

the suits the patient clerk hauls forth,
wives are apt to forget their mates
are no longer the youthful swain who
came a-courtin' ten years or more
ago.
Even though he may affect the
younger models and gayer checks or
stripes. The bullying waist, the doubled
chin and the rso-sllght-droop Of
the shoulders have sadly changed the
original Apollonian lines which the
fond wife still recognizes in her mate.
Ready rAlaes, fashioned on perfect
.wecdenfz odeis, have way Of ac-
centuatlng the middle-aged wearer's
defects. Therefore, the tailor Is called
upon to exercise his craftiness by prac-
tlcing receptions to conceal the ugly
faults, says the New York Sun.
The narrow double-breasted model
does much to hide an unsightly abdo-
men. A bit of cotton will stralghten
the dropping shoulders, but the double

tailor will tell you that the gray
haired man Is fussier about his
clothes than the young chap.
From his advent into the cake
eater stage until the time he has
reconciled himself to comfortable
old age, man is not immune from the
vanity which 50 distinctly character
ICES the feathered male. He Is "as
proud as the peacock" which remains
in hiding until his new tail feathers
have grown to the sweeping length.

AVA Cortrell rubbed his cold, be-
numbed ears and stared at the snow
bank from whose innermost depths the
plaintive cry seemed to come. Kicking
glngerly at the soft, white mass he un-
covered a dilapidated market basket.
From one corner a pair of bright eyes
blinked up at him.
AS he brushed the snow from the
furry waif, crooked smile parted
Cortrell's lips.
AT that, little pal o. adversely, you
have something ON me In the way Of
shelter. What's that-you prefer the
interior of a coat pocket? All right

Stamping semblance of life into
his cold feet, Cortrell resumed his
aimless tramp.
The northwest wind contested his
every step. The driving snow, fast
turning to sleet, stung his face, almost
blinded him. He might retrace his
steps-the wind at his back would be

doggedly forward.
From one house he passed bright
lights cleaned, while music and gay
laughter sounded like cruel mockery.
A block further on, another house was
shrOuded In darkness-save for one
room. Through the latter's drawn
shades Cortrell gllmpsed tall candles
and many white flowers.

Elsnhants Invade eelaIum Congo.

II Is reported that herds of ele-
plants have invaded the region OF
Lake Leopold IN the Belgian Congo,
and are laying waste the plantations
there, so that food supplies are endan-
gered The natives refuse to hunt the
elephants as they do not share the
proceeds Of the hunting, and people
are deserving many villages.
No doubt in Pllocene and early
Plelstocene times primitive man must
have had many pitched battles with
the elephant family; but 1t Is rather
strange to think that even In the
Twentieth century there are elephants
numerous enough and enterprislng
enough to sack villages and destroy
plantations. II sounds as II they were
becoming civilized.

No Compromise With Hea.henIsm

Missionaries OF the Church Mission
AIRY society report that one of the re-
suits Of the spread Of Christianity
among the young men Of holland, Nj
geria, Is their withdrawal from the
OkOnko club, thus leaving the older
men with no one to beat the drums and
perform other offices In the heather
ceremonies. This has been most dis
tresslng to the chiefs and other mem
bers Of the club. Finding that harass.
Ing and prosecuting the Christians had
no desired effect, they shifted ground,
and asked for compromise between
the church and the club, to allow
Christians to join the latter without
being disqualified for church member
ship. This, they have been told, Is
impossible, as there can be no affinity
between light and darkness.

AMONG THE PLAYERS

Tommy Murphy gave Winchester 5 hits, got a single and a double which drove in four runs, struck out nine batters, and robbed Winchester of championship all in one after noon. Everybody was willing to ad- init there was a possibility of Seam less winning, but no one ever antici- pated a 10 to o shoutout. This de- feat practically assures Safety Car the championship, when everything was set for a play-oH next Saturday and unless Sperry & Barnes clip Safety Car, the Red Ws will have to be con tent with second place. It would not be out of order to pass a few remarks concerning the Winchester outfit who all season long have showed good craftsmanship. They have lost but three games, and whoever trimmed them got full credit for so doing. Hank Hanlon has been incharge, and developed a good fielding team, but lacked hitters. Two important sta- tions, first base and catch, were we'll covered by Schultiess and Bunne1l, respectively, the former handling II2 chances with only one slipup and the latter o2 also with only one error. Johnny Cammerano had a good sea- son at third, making four errors in 45 chances. It seems hard to hold the lead all season long, only to lose out in the last game, especially to a team that the victory was one of no real value to as regards their league standing.

air across the oceans to become arti-
culate in the Sandwich Islands or to
be heard in England.
The growth Of the use of radio has
been so rapid within the last year
that no accurate statistics have been
compiled as to the size Of a radio
audience whenever an important mes
sage or brilliant concert is broadcast
ed. But it has been conservatively
estimated that one house out of every
five in the larger cities is equipped
with radio receiving sets. That ulti-
mately radio will be as universal in
the homes as bath-tubes is practical
ly certain.
There are many men and women
who have not yet put in a radio re-
ceiving set because they have dim
sort Of belief that there are some
wonderful improvements about due
and that at present the whole thing is
as it were, in an experimental stage.
1t will be the design Of the campaign
of co-opertive advertising which the
National Carbon Company is doing to
demonstrate that radio really has ar
rived, not that it is going to arrive
and that the household that is not
equipped with radio receiving set
is depriving itself of much splendid
entertainment; is being robbed 1of the
pleasure of hearing, at insignificant
cost, the finest musicians in the
world; is losing the opportunity of
hearing in comfort and in the COM
pany of its friends, the notable
speeches Of such men as President
Coolidge, Secretary Hughes, Lord
Robert Cecil and other leaders in
craftsmanship The National Carbon
Companl designs to show how much
fuller and richer home-life may be
made by the use Of radio and that
this modern invention, this boon that
is bringing the world into closer
neighbor- relations, should be in
every apartment, no matter where or
from whom the Radio set is bought
as long as it is obtained from re-
liable maker.
This experiment in cooperative adj
vertisinp deyelopment is sure to be
watched with great interest by deal
ers and manufacturers and it may
well prove to be far-reaching in its
results.
