famous old Turk, FARO AQha, who claims
that his $50 years make him the oldest
man in the world, is TO be honored and
incidentally saved from starvation by the
city Of Constantinople.

somewhat too old for this herculean &C.

ply himself with the bread and cheese of
existence, for the pension which he re-
ceives from the Association Of Hamals is
anything but large.
Now the project of ConstantiuOpIe, Err

here that the contract for minting the
new Irish Free State coinage likely will
be placed in New York if a bill, the Sc
cOnd reading of which is to take place in
the Dali Eireann next week is adopted.
There seems to be no special en-
thusiasm for a change in the coin
age, and in some financial quarters
1t is being coldly received. The Gov
eminent. however, looks for a profit Of
$500, 600 (about So 500, 000) by creating
the new coinage and it has not suggested
that the Dali reject the bill.
The new coins will have higher intrin-
sic value than the British coins Of the
same denomination, as they will consist
Of Is per cent. Gne silver and rs per cent
alloy, whereas the British coins are $3.50.
The Irish coins will be half crown, form
and shilling of silver, and six pence and
t]hreepence of pure nickel. British coins
will continue in use and will have the
same value as the new Irish coin.
Aside from the greater proportion Of
silver in the silver coins, the new pieces
although identical in face value with
British coins, will have designs quite diff
ferent. These have not yet been an
nOunced, but it is believed the head of
Arthur Griffith, Ireland's first President,
will replace that of King George, while
the other side may show an Irish harp or
other Irish patterns. as is the case with
the Free State postage stamp. Some re.
ports say Irish names also are to be given
to the coins. -NelU York Sun.

Dublin, Jan. 81 CA. P.)-The higher
command Of the Free State air force is
preparing eagerly for the nonstop trans
Atlantic flight from Ireland to New York
in June.
Specifications and estimates for a spe-
cial type Of machine have been re-
ceived from several British aircraft
manufacturers, and official sanction from
the Ministry of Defense is all that is
needed before proceeding with the pro-
ject.
I'VE propose to start in June, as that
is the most feasible month, " an officer of
the air force told the Associated Press
today. 1--WE are anxious to establish a
record for a double crossing of the At
lantic and are trying to get a machine
capable of carrying sufficient fuel for for
ty hours of flight.
I'VE propose to make Newfoundland,
and, if we have enough fuel left, to pro-
coed down the coast to New York" If
forced to land in Newfoundland. the of

tional airway between the Old and New
World" he said. Our aim is to estab-
lish this country as one of the worlds most
important landing and departure stages.
The Free State is the nearest point to
New York, and this aspect Of its impor-
lance should be developed. = Ibid.

FIREMEN'S DANCE FINANCE REPORT;
 SURPLUS OF $35
MONTHLY MEETING FIRE DE- APARTMENT LAST NiGHT;-
 VOTE OF THANKS

The report of the finance commit tee of the Seward volunteer fire de- partment in connection with the re- cent twenty-first annual masque ball held New Years eve, brought forth the fact that the department came out tthe right side of the ledger by the tune of S35.20 The total receipts of the dance was $299 and the expenses S263.SO.
 All members of the department but two were present last evening, and following the report of the treasurer it was regularly moved and seconded that all bills be paid.
 The secretary asked for the assis- tance of two members to help him com pile the outstanding bills and write out checks for same. Request grant ed. Then the ghost walked, each vol unteer receiving his monthly salary, S1. Two bucks was left over and it was voted to throw this sum into the pork and bean fund.
 Among the items mentioned in the dance expense account was the sum of S15 charged to hall rental. A motion was made and duly seconded that S1O be added to the rental charge making total of S25 to be paid the s. A. c. It was pointed out that the extra ex- pense incurred by the department not originally figured, would undoubtedly prove burden to the s. A. c.
 A unanimous vote of thanks by the department was given to MT. and Mrs. Charles Krefting for their cooperation in assisting the decorat ting committee and without whose assistance the com mittee would have been badly handi- capped considerably.
 Concluding the meeting was the mo- tion made and seconded that a new cloth be purchased for the billiard table in the club room.

 Clash, In Basketball

Under the direction of MT. Trimble, mentor and coach, the Jesse Lee Home basketball squad broke into the limelight at the $. A. C. gym last evening when they took on the Sew ard scout team The Jesse Lee boys show much natural ability, consider ing they have never played the game until the past few weeks and it goes without saying, according to the opin- ion of those watching them last night that in a couple of more weeks, the scouts will have ito go some to de- feat them. The scouts won last nite's initial contest owing to their su- perior skill and team work but the Jesse Lee boys are far from being novices.
 Tie scc:,t team was composed of the following members: Bernie Hor- ton, Howard Sefervitch, Raymond Man they, Donald Shellhorn and Guy Manthey.

THE RED LILY BEST THRILLER j E.
 OF LATE FILMS


 The climax, of Fred Niblo's "The Red Lily" the Metro Goldwyn picture which opens at the Liberty theatre to- night comes when the hero of the story, played by Ramon Novarro, rec lognizes woman who has brought him in from the street as his own lost sweetheart, Marise, whom he has sought for years. Finding her un- faithful he strikes her down with his fist in a spasm of anger and anguish; and what happens thereafter concludes one of the most deeply stirring tales ever told on the screen.
 The story is laid for the most part in the Parisian underworld. The boys father in a Brittany village, has dis inherited his son on learning of his love for Marise, the daughter of a humble shoemaker The pair flee to Paris to marry, are separated by acci- dent, and thrust alone on the city. The results and climax are intense ly interesting.
 This tremendous film owes much to l the sparkling performance of Ramon Novarro As the wealthy son turned thief, Novorro is picturesque and ir- resistible. Enid Bennett, as Marise, shares honors with him. The sup, porting cast includes Wallace tBeery Frank Currier, Mitchell Lewis, Gib- son Gowland, Rosemary Theby and George Periolat.

Concerning Brides and
Biscuit
By Josephine Jessup

Leavening with love is a pretty no
ton; but after the honeymoon, you
will find your husband preferring bis
cults which contain more common,
place rising ingredients. You may
have incorporated host of lovely
dreams in your baking; but if you
have failed to add to the -four, correct
proportions of soda and acid phos-
plate, you will perceive small trace
Of your rosy imaginings in the finished
product. Every 'twirl of the rolling
pin may have been motivated by q
fond thought of your lover but il
you have not sifted the -four and
leavening thoroughly, your biscuit
will fall short of your hopes.
The intelligent bride realizes the
significance of bread in the marriage
scheme. The correlation between poor
biscuit and Indigestion is hi Oh; and
as for indigestion and a gracious dis
position-watch the man who is OBJ
liged to eat fiat, hard nubbins OF
bread, or great doughty wads, or bitter
yellow-speckled denominations; and
measure the amount of sweetness and
light he sheds on his companions
especially upon the custodian OF his
stomach.
The bride and biscuit commonly
form theme for tragedy; the movies
tell the sad story, and fiction is full
of it. Yet with modern milling ia

is YOUR BOY
A POOR WRITER?

Don's complain too much, mother
if son gets a grade under 70 in pen
manship in school. It'll mean, prob
ably, that Son is bright youngster
that he has nimbler wits than even
you, mother, or your mother.
DR.. William T. Root, of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh School of Edu-
cation, says that quick thinking and
bad handwriting go together. He
says, too, that the science of hero
glyphics is somewhat on the decline,
and points out that our grandparents
were by far the better penmen.
So the end of the three Rs
readin', 'ritin' and 'rithmetic-is in
sight, so far as being the real basis
of all education is concerned. Son
can be a marvel at readin', run rings
round you, mother, in 'rithmetic, but
make terrible marks with pen and
ink, and still have symptoms of in
telligence.
1t is true, too, that penmanship is
going quite out of fashion. Few take
the trouble today even to write a
legible signature. Folks seem too
busy to take time to shape pretty let
tiers, cross rs and dot, Is. But Do.
Root encourages US when he says
legibility is by no tmeans an indica-
ton of outstanding intelligence.
