Congress of Parent Teacher As
sociations was not allowed to as
sist q motion picture entertainment

Figures of Record Month in
Toledo Show Men 81
and Women %

TOLEDO, o., Dec THAT mar
rage is one OF the most important
and serious steps a man and q
woman can take is an admitted
fact.
The question as to the proper
ages for both men and women to
marry has been debated seriously
and often, but so far no one seems
to have been able to win the argu-
ment. Those in favor of persons
marrying young have nothing on
those who contend that both the
man and the woman should arrive
at a reasonable age before they
enter into matrimony."
However, it would seem that
there is a tendency on the part Of
beth the male and the female"
not to act too hastily. This OBJ
eeryation is based on data gathered
by Phil. A. Birkenhauer, Toledo,
Ohio, marriage license clerk. Dur
ing October, when the number of
applications for licenses to wed
probably have been larger than in
any previous month in the history
of the local marriage license bu-
reau, the average age of the men
who applied for licenses was in
excess of thisty-one, while that of
the girls and women was more
than twenty-eight.
THAT may not be the average
for the year." Mr.. Berkenhauer
says, but ] vouch for the correct
ness OF the figures for the month. /"

a new tube rapid transit railway
system, the invention of Chalmers
Kearney, an English engineer. mas
received the approval OF the Royal
Commission on London Traffic as
1 means of relieving traffic con-

According to the inventor, by mar

times as quickly as the present

Passengers enter the coaches
from surface platforms. The train,
travelling on a single track with an
overhead guide rail to assure safe
fy, runs downhilI from the station
for some distance, enabling it to
gain speed naturally and quickly.
Each Of the six wheels beneath
the coach Is worked by an indie
pendent motor.
These motors are necessary to
move the train from the platform
and to keep up the speed Of the
train when it reaches the level sec

famous CLOCK
IS SILENT IN
MUSEUM
Made Before Revolutionary
War by First Director
of U. S. Mint

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-The
"Rittenhouse Clock" one of the
most famous clocks in the country,
and the priced possession of the
Drexel Institute here, was moved
recently as carpenters were MAX
ing changes on the main floor of
the museum.
The clock was the last and great
est effort of David Rittenhouse, IA
nous astronomer and mathema-
tician. He was the first director
Of the United States Mint at Phila-
delphia.
On account OF the high cost to
have this famous timepiece repaired.
it is not working now. 1t has been
estimated that to put the clock in
working order the expenditure
would be greater than it's original
cost, which was about $500.
The clock was made before the
revolutionary war by Rittenhouse
for Joseph Potts, a wealthy man,
who, it is said, sold it to Thomas
Prior, who, shortly before the evacu-
alton of Philadelphia in 1913 by the
British, refused to sell it to General
Sir William Howe for 100 guineas.
When Prior died in 1901 the clock
became the property Of Professor
Barton, Of the Drexel Institute, the
biographer of Rittenhouse George
| w. Childs purchased it from James
Swain and presented the clock to
the DrexeI Institute in 1898.
There is attached to 1t the mech
anism of a musical clock-six-
teen sets of chimes. The clock
stands nine feet high and two feet
fifteen inches deep. The clock
records the time by second, min.
ute, hour and day: shows the posi-
ton of the moon and the stars and
has other smaller contrivances for
recording time.

Worth S2,OOO,OOO
Goes to Soviet
BY international News Service

MOSCOW, Dec. 1.-The valu-
able library of the late General
Kuropotkin, for which an Amerl-
can millionaire is reputed to
have offered 100000 in 1914,
has just been turned over to the
revolutionary military council
of the Soviet Union, a year
after the generals death.
General Kuropotkin, in charge
of the Russian armies during the
Russo-Japanese war, remained a
reactionary until the end.
He stipulated that his library.
consisting of 5000 volumes and
considered one of the richest and
best in Russia, should be turned
over to the chief military COM
mission. :,
But when the will was carried
out there was quite different
military council in charge than
the one the old general had IN
mind. The library became the
property of the Red council.

SERVICE
IS ENDED FOR
DOLLY GRAY
Came Into World Under Own
Power and Was "Some
Chicken"
nv international News service

SACRAMENTO. Dec. dolly
Gray after having lived life
dedicated to service, is dead. She
gave her all, and it was much.
Dolly, according to unofflclal
birth records, came into the Worio
under her own power. She was q
go-getter right from the beginning.
She began her illustrious career IN
1916.> She died just nine years
later, her death resulting, It was
said, from an athletic heart.
That complimentary but some
what inelegant appellation, "Some
Chicken" was especially designed
for the hard working Dolly.
For this is Dolly,s record:
During her lifetime she laid
1850 eggs, or one dozen short of
$50 dozen.
Twice during her second year
f1917l she produced two eggs in
one day.
She started to lay on Thanks
giving day, 1916, and never missed
producing an egg every day OF her
life until the morning she dropped
dead.
Born in an incubator and raised
as pet, Dolly was afraid OF a
chicken when she say one for the
first time, shortly after she was
one year old.
Dolly was raised on a diet con-
sisting of cracked almonds, fresh
corn on the cob and lettuce.
Dolly, the Industrious hen, be-
longed to Miss Eta NJ. Wilkerson,
or Auburn. Cal.
Dolly was buried in an especially
built easlket.
A tiny headstone will mark the
place Of her burial. On it will be
inscribed:
ashe never uttered a misleading
ceekle."

Marking up of the call money rate
from Az to per cent was some
what of surprise in view of the
huge excessive reserves shown in last
Saturdays clearing house statement,
but it was explained by the calling
of loans by interior institutions in
preparation for the withdrawal of
the government funds to meet lib
erty loan interest payments. An adj
vance in the Cleveland federal re-
serve rediscount was announced af-
ter the market closed. Time money
