FAITH HIS AID
IN HEROIC DEED
Negro "Talked to God" While
R;sking Life.

Kansas City, Mo.-John Payne, six
foot negro laborer employed at the
Liberty Memorial, believes his faith in
God alone gave him the strength to
perform a deed, akin to heroism, at
the shaft recently in a violent wind
storm.
w. B. Beam, superintendent of the
stone work at the memorial, told the
story.
One Of the great steel cables on the
scaffolding was torn loose in the
storm. There was danger it would
mar the surface of the shaft.
Mr.. Beam decided it was too danger
ladder to the scaffolding to secure the
cable. John had followed him to the
top.
LET me co." offered Payne.
He climbed slowly over the ledge,
180 feet in the air, and down the rope,
30 feet, to the scaffold. There he Sc
cured the cable and dragged himself
back up the swinging rope ladder. The
wind was so strong he had to keep his
face almost against the side of the
shaft in order to get his breath. The
trip took about six minutes. Mr..
Beam, waiting at the top, said it
seemed like an hour.
John, am sure glad you're back, "
he told Payne.
"Mr. Beam" John said, eff it hadn't
been for my religion, I wouldn't be
back. Yes, sir, it took all my faith. I
talked to Him all the way down and I
talked to Him all the way back. And
He let me get back"

London recently after having com
pIeted in four months a 17,0O0-mile
journey by air to India and back in
the same airplane in which he started

Mother Saves 3 Children,
Killed by Street Car

New York.-Deliberately sacrificing
her own life to save those Of three Of
her eight children, Mrs. Lena Tartar,
forty-six years old, Of Brooklyn, was
mortally injured when she flung the
children from the tracks Of a street
car on the Canarsie Shore line. The
mother stood fast and the car moved
her down.
Mrs. Tartar was leading the chill
dren, Tessie, five years old; Isadore,
eight, and Lyman, six, across the
tracks when she glanced up and saw
the car almost upon them. Swinging
a child from each arm and pushing
Isadore, she flung them from the
tracks. Tessie failed to clear the car
and was struck by the edge of the plat
form, suffering a fracture Of the skull
and possible internal injuries.
Mrs. Tartar stood still in the tracks
and the car struck her. Her skull was
fractured and she died on the way to
the hospital.

He killed the carp with spade.

Of fish traps in the flooded section and

Roman Ruins in England

1t is supposed that the Romans
first landed in England at Folkstone
on the Strait Of Dover. Here the
ruins of camp probably used by the
Romans were recently discovered
The ruins consist of two buildings
each containing seven hearths. These
buildings probably were used as cook
houses and dining halls by the legions
of Caesar. Not far from these ruins
Is the base Of a watch tower built in
we'll which apparently surrounded
the camp. Several excellent speci
mems of Roman urns and glasses were
dug up in the vicinity. The excava
tions are being made under the super.
vision Of experts from the British
museum.

QUEST OF BEAUTY
AS OLD AS RACE
Odd Appliances Used by
Ancient Peoples.

From the South African tribes who
practice distortion of features to the
exponents of art in Europe and Amer
lea; from the prim acidity OF pretty
is as pretty does" to the beautiful bit
Of hyperbole, "Her brow is like the
snowdrift her throat is like the swan,
run the worlds ideals of feminine
beauty.
Poets Of nowadays generally have
other matters of importance to treat
Of than the charms Of some Maid OF
Athens or Lady of the Lake. Besides
in order to adhere to the truth, which
is often considered the basis of art,
the lyrist would be compelled to say.
Her nose is like the snowdrift-
obviously it wouldn't do.
The present extensive use of cos
metics is indulgently considered as
new effort of fashion to invent some
thing strange and new; or, on the
other hand as a sign Of sort of in,
definite decadence. This Is evidently
what Jeremiah, prince of joy-killers
considered it in his words, Though
thou clothest thysplf with crimson
though thou deckest thyself with orna-
ments of gold. though thou rentest thy
face with painting, in vain shalt thou
make thyself fair"
One can read how Cleopatra had to
do without soap and found olive oil
tolerable substitute, but one wonders
how the complexion was affected by
being rubbed with pumice stone, ma
terial much used by the Assyrians
and other ancient peoples. They had,
however. an array Of emollients.
salves. perfumes and rouges that
would compare fairly we'll with mod
ern dressing-table supply.
The much-exploited cowboy may
find his predecessor in history in a
young Assyrian gentleman, Of whom
1t was written: "His chin was shaven
and his skin, which was kept smooth
with pumice stone, was white as milk,
and his eyebrows were painted black" "
Even the men Of the Roman empire
did not consider it beneath their dig
nifty to spend much time on personal
Identification. The barber in those
days was a person of much impor
tance. He ran a regular masculine
beauty parlor, being manicurfst as
we'll as tonsorial expert. occasionally
practicing surgery also.
His shop was humble precursor of
the modern clubroom-the place to
learn the latest news in society and
politics. No doubt he could have told
exactly what violin selections Nero
was going to play several hours before
the incendiary emperor started his
famous bonfire. 1t was part Of the
BARRIERS job to know everything like
news.

Clothin1

How did civilized man come to look
upon clothing as an unassailable ne
cessity? I leave this branch of re-
search to the professors who hold
exclusively to the theory that clothes
were first worn as ornament and en-
ticement. Their thesis is that the bad
habit started when vain savages first
painted and tattOoed themselves.
Even medieval society. however, still
considered clothes more as ornaments
and protection than as adjuncts to
modesty and morals. The latter view
became a creed first with modern
times.-Karl Won Wiegand, in Hearst's
International Cosmopolitan.

Majority of Freed
ConUicfs Successful

Milwaukee.-"Exactly IS per cent Of
those who serve time in the penal
institutions and are discharged make

of the Central Howard association,
Chicago, speaking at the Summerfield
Methodist church.
During 1924 we placed 1884 men
and boys in industry who had been
discharged from corrective institutions
These earned $266,557.
The association is carrying on re-

.JEKYLL AND HYDE
MYSTERY FOUND
IN MARSEILLES
Bad Checks Lead to DiscoU-
cry of Body in Doc
tors Cupboard.

Paris.-France succeeds in having
at regular intervals murders of such
dramatic mystery that one no longer
wonders at the sources Of her romantic
detective tales Her fiction can never
rival facts. Today the mysterious dis
appearance on March IA Of one
Jacques Rumede, a bill collector OF
Marseilles, has been explained and
Paris Is enjoying the "cupboard muir
der"
No clew could be found by the police
last March, no explanation of the dis
appearance of nj. Rumede was forth
coming. The mystery was solved by
chance when some question Of fraud
ulent checks brought detectives to the
house Of DR.. Pierre Bougrat, a ply
sician, member Of socially prom
inent family, and q chevalier of the
Legion of Honor.
Without any idea that they were
stumbling upon a new Jekyll and Hyde
the police were going through the doc
tors papers, when they noticed a
strange odor. It came from the labora-
tory. Nothing could be found and
gentle tapping of the walls failed to
reveal any hidden recess until sud-
denly the detectives baton dislodged a
tapestry and the wall behind it gave a
hollow ring.
The section of wall was broken into
and long coffin-shaped cupboard dis
covered Lying on the shelf, doubled
up and partly decomposed, was the
body of a man, Jacques Rumede. A

Find Body of Man.

sum of $4,000 francs which the bill
collector had had on the eve Of his
disappearance was gone and examina-
ton disclosed that he had died of a
mercury injection.
Marseilles was aghast at the discov-
cry, but soon complaints began to pour
in to the police Of other suspicious acts
on the part of Doctor Bougrat. He
was said to have robbed many Of his
patients after giving them drugs or in
jections which caused them to lose
consciousness. He was charged with
other cases Of attempted murder. It
was wondered whether he was not re-
sponsible for other disappearances.
All France Aroused.
The eyes Of all France turned to
Marseilles in horror with q realization
Of the crimes which doctor, licensed
to issue burial certificates and with
drugs at his command, might commit.
For all his responsibility it was
found that Doctor Bougrat had been In
serious financial difficulties since his
friendship with woman other than
his wife had forced him into all sorts
of extravaganza. Hitherto unknown
escapades became known, curious de-
tails of his life were discovered. The
only explanation Of having dead man
in a secret cupboard which he himself
had advanced was that Rumede had
committed suicide in his laboratory
and he had hid the body.

After Tanning IL

Birmingham, Ala.-H. 0. Ber-

pany of birmingham, claims he
is the only experienced fish rider
on the gulf.
