Odd Contra SITS in China.

No country anywhere else presents
such striking contrasts as China. On
the land the farmer is doing his work
by primitive methods precisely as his
ancestors did thousand years ago,
while in the city his brother or son Is
driving an engine, running a cotton
mill or operating cold-storage plant.
The extraordinary feature is that the
nation that invented credit, gunpow-
der, paper, ink, printing, glass and
porcelain should, after the lapse of all
the centuries, be engaged in acquiring
what amounts to the second steps in
the advancement of the very arts and
crafts that it introduced.-Isaac F.

Dream Lore in Schools.

Much valuable information as to
the mental makeup of child could
be obtained from study of his
dreams. DR.. G. w. Kimmins, an Eng
fish savant, recently declared during
a discussion on psycho-analysis and ed
ucation at recent meeting of the
British association at Hull. 1t would
be interesting, he suggested, to hear
from psychologists to what extent chill
dren's dreams could be used for school
purposes. Doctor Kimmins empha-
sized the danger of extravagant hopes
in regard to the use Of psycho-analysis
for educational purposes, which might
lead to an infinite amount Of harm.

Static IS an abbrevia.t,a Of "static

ever the atmosphere is charged with
electricity. In summer there may be
electrical discharges between clouds
visible and invisible, or flash of
lightning between sky and earth.
When this occurs, nature is sending
her own crashing signals through the
ether-signals that are received by
every radio apparatus within scores
of miles. signals that manifest them
selves as a sizzling and spluttering

BEGIN PROBE INTO
HOUSE OF DAVID
Investigation Will Shake the Institu-
tiOn to It's Foundations Declares
District Attorney.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-A suit which
attorneys for either side say will delve
to the very foundations of the House
of David religious colony at Benton
Harbor, was begun in United States
district court here today. The action
is that of John w. Hansell and wife of
Nashville, Tenn, instituted to collect
the sum of $4,000 from Benjamin
Purnell, head of the colony. the plain
tiffs claiming that sum due them from
property turned over to the organiza-
tion when they joined the House Of
David and for labor performed by Han
sell, his wife and six children while
they were members.
Hansell and his wife, the bill Of conn
plant sets forth, were expelled from
the organization. Defense attorneys
say the expulsion followed alleged at
tempts on the part of Hansell to or
ganize a revolt in the colony against
the leadership Of Purnell
Hansell and his wife allege in their
bill of complaint that fraud was prac-
ticed upon them when they joined the
organization, declaring they were led
to believe the colony was of religious
nature only. They assert they discov-
cred the House Of David engaged in
various commercial activities in Benton
Harbor. The defense will contend it
was announced by attorneys at the
opening of the trial that the colony
was solely religious organization,
Purnell contends the Hansell suit can
be decided only in the ecclesiastical
court Of the association at Benton Har-
Dor. The suit was filed year ago in
Cincinnati before Federal Judge Pack.
Resignation of that jurist and various
motions delayed start of the case.

safe roofing materials those mate
rails are demanded. Brick and Stucco
houses, with roofs of asphalt shingles,
have been shown to be more extensively,
used of late, on account of their greater
durability and 6re-resistant qualities. A
few decades age, when timber was more
plentiful and less expensive, roofing
problems did not call for the great CON
sideration they do today. Fire laws in
various municipalities were not as strin-
gent then as they now are and the costs
of fre-resistant material, compared with
wood, were high. In this day, initial cost
is not proportionately higher and the
first cost is practically wiped out in the
saving through the lower maintenance
and the lower insurance rates in effect
where approved fre-proof material is
used in roof construction.

proof materials at comparatively low

Small House Is Popular

The small house, with notifications
to suit climate and the individual tastes
of the owner, proved the most popular

all modern devices common to apart

has found it easier to manage if chance
or necessity make it "a servantless

Architects also report that in line
with the demand for labor-saving equip
ment there is also a heavy demand for
materials that reduce fire hazard. Ex-
perience has shown that fire resistant
building materials are also time and
weather resistant. Where every cent
counts in building home and the cost
is spread over number of years, the
fact that the roof, for instance, may have
to be replaced in a decade must be
considered. The insurance rate is an

Judge Henry Graas of the fourteenth
judicial circuit, all lake boats and
craft not operating under a regular
schedule between states are not ex-

are liable to the city or town in which
their owner resides, for taxation.
The decision was given in the case
of Door county vs.. William Jepson in
which the county sued to recover per-

by the defendant who claimed that he
was an interstate carrier, having made
frequent trips to Michigan ports with
the craft, and having paid tonnage
tax as such, was exempt.

Doom, Holland The family life
of the former German kaiser and his
kaiserin at Doom castle is simple and
happy.
The kaiserin =. better known as the
Princess Hermine made that emphat-
ically clear in an exclusive interview
with the United Press.
The interview, which was given in
the quaint miniature castle that is the
residence of the court chamberlain,
is the first the princess has granted
since her wedding.
She dissipated emphatically all the
chatter that has spread whold-wide to
the effect that she is leaving Wilhelm
or going to Corfu. She made it plain
that the ex-emperor and herself are
pursuing in happiness and unity the
simple life Of studious active folks,
here in this picturesque out of the
way corner Of the world
The love of the princess for the
former kaiser and the love and re-
spect her children accord their new
father was much in evidence during
my visit.
Explaining Forthcoming trip to
Germany the kaiserin said:
SAT the end of this month. | am
going on an eight weeks visit to
Slesia.
"You can believe me, it is hard for
me to leave the emperor alone.
"But 1 am also mother. And the
interests of my children demand my
presence in Germany twice a year
These times naturally are so chosen
that they coincide in spring and au-
tum, with the vacations of my Oldest
sons who are at school in Germany
Naturally these journeys are previ-
ously arranged"
The princess received me in the
court chamberlain's offices which lie
back from the winding Doom road, in
setting reminiscent of an old Dutch
print, or a glimpse of scenery Of an
operetta.
In this room last November, the
| princess was united to the former en-
peror by the civil ceremony of mar
riage. The rooms chief ornament is
an enormous portrait Of the ex-kaisel
in the gorgeous Uniffm fetanitaoni
in the gorgeous uniform of the Hus-
sars, while on writing table is q
photograph of the exkaiser's first wife
Incidentally, in other rooms of the cas-
tie there are many pictures of the dead
empress.
The princess greeted me pleasantly
My first impression was that she fair
! ly beamed with health, energy and the
joy of living. She was plainly dressed
| in blue costume, with a seal jacket
small hat with a veil, dark cotton
gloves, wooden stockings, and she car
ried cane,
The three youngest \of her children
played about outside.
"My children quickly developed con-
fdence in the kaiser and a liking for
him." Hermine said. "And for his
part, he treats them with fatherly ten
derness. When my Oldest boys are
here, they help the emperor to chop
wood.
"The emperor continues this occupa-
tion," she went on, because since
childhood he has been accustomed tc

Milwaukee Broker
Loses His License

Madison = The license of the Thier-
Russell company, Milwaukee, to
do business as real estate brokers,
was revoked today by the Wisconsin
Real Estate Brokers board. Mrs.
Eleanor Hecker made the complaint on
which this company, one of the larg-
est and best established in Milwau-
kee lost its right to engage in the
real estate BUSINESS.
II was charged that the company
sold a piece of property belonging to
Mrs. Hecker for $4,000 and represented
to her that the sale was for $4,000.
When this fact was established the
board revoked the company's license.
