The New Museum

One of the most interesting plac-
es we saw in Washington was the
New Museum. Of course we didn't
have time to see everything in the
building.
What interested me most was
the portrayal of life in the house
holds of different countries. Among
the different ones were those of
Filipinos, Indians, Africans, Dyaks,
and Japanese. There were from
three to six figures in each glass
case. Each figure represented a
member of the family and his or
her particular job in or around the
house. The figures were SO life
like that we almost expected them
to talk.
Another part of the building that
was interesting was that in which
were the skeletons of huge dino
saurs and elephants. 1t seemed
remarkable to US that people can
find all of the pieces of each bone
of the animal and fit them togeth-
er. There were two large dino
saur skeletons, two elephant skele-
tons, and several other skeletons of
different flesh eating animals.
There were several skeletons that
were not complete. These were
mounted in clay with the missing
bones painted on.
Among the other things of inter-
est in the building was a collection
of stalagmites and stalactites, diff
ferent rocks and building mater
ials, two large meteorites, and
pices Of rock containing different
gems. Stalagmetes and stalactites
are rock formations made by the
washing parts of them way-There
was also collection Of different
kinds Of precious stones. Some
other things of interest were beau
tiful dishes, vases, and statues.
One Of the most beautiful things
l saw in the museum was a minia-
ture building Of Mt. Vernon made
In mother of pearl. 1t was pre-
sented to the museum by a Jap
anese Ambassador and was shown
at the Century Of Progress in Chi
cago.
To see everything in the museum
would take many days. I wish we
had been able to stay longer. If
you ever get a chance it would be
very worthwhile to visit the New
Museum.

Doctors Warn of
Diphtheria Spectre.

When cold weather came in Mothers
day the spectre of diphtheria rose up
to plague every anxious parent.
Today the spectre is laid forever in
a great many Minnesota homes because
babies in the house have all been i'm
munized against the dread disease. The
Minnesota State Medical associations
committee on public health education
today urges parents of all other I'M
immunized babies to secure this pro-
lection Immediately.
There were fourteen cases of diph-
liberia in Minnesota at the end of last
week according to State Board of
Health figures. These cases were among
unprotected children. Twenty-Five years
ago there were many times fourteen
during the same week because no
children could be protected and the
deaths, especially among those under
five years old, were appalling.
Protection against diphtheria is
simple and cheap in comparison to the
cost of the terrible illness, with death
or permanent disability threatening
that menaced the homes of twenty
The fact that large numbers of people
five years ago, according to the bulletin
in Minnesota are already protected ha:
brought the rate down to only a few
cases a year.

must be immunized in the first year Of

Vote Dividend
DESPITE LOSS
Directors of u. S. Steel Report
Deficit of SIS, 847, 791 for
September Quarter.

A New York American Press dispatch
of october q, states that the United
States Steel corporation reported a
$5,847,791 deficit for the September
quarter, but the directors, in what some
observers regarded as gesture of con-
fidence in the business future, voted an
unearned dividend of more than S.
100000 on the preferred stock.
The quarters deficit was about $780,
600 larger than the loss reported in the
June quarter despite an increase in
business. Steel circles believed the in
creased loss was the result chiefly of
the general cut in steel prices made late
in June, averaging about Sc ton.
The third-quarter deficit compared
with a loss of $5,010,426 in the three
months ended last June.
For the third quarter last year, when
steel operations were still at a relative
ly high rate, the corporation had net
income of $30,617, 638, equal to $2.79 a
share of common stock.
Edward R. Stettinius, the 38-year- old
chairman, said he thought the dividend
action would be encouraging to every
one" He would not, however, express
an opinion on general business pros
poets.
The preferred dividend is payable
Nov. 10 to stock of record Oct. %.
Big Steels shipments of finished pro-
ducts in the September quarter totaled
1,577,870 tons, representing 346 per
cent of capacity, compared with 1885,
ITO tons, or 80 per cent of capacity, in
the second quarter.
Stettinius said the increased demand
for steel products which developed about
the middle Of July "has since shown
further improvement but during the
third quarter did not advance to point
where under existing market con-
ditions and high costs of operation a
profit was possible.
In neither the second or third quar-
tiers did the corporation cover the pre-
ferred dividend, amounting to more
than 100000 quarterly.
For the nine months ended Sept. 80,
the corporation operated at deficit of
$12, 150,368. For the like period last
year it had net income of $9O,852, 1853
equal to $495 share on common stock.
Shipments for the nine months tot
aled 1888 224 tons, compared with TO-
CSC, 846 tons in the same period of 1887.
Operations in the first weeks in
October" said the. statement, shave
averaged better than 43 per cent of
Regarding spending on plant improve
ment and modernization, the corpora
ton said it was being limited largely to
work under way for some time and
rapidly nearing completion.
Such expenditures for the year to
Sept. 80, for property OUTLAWS and re-
tirement of capital obligations, totaled
$64, 100000.
Gradual improvement in the opera
ting rate, the statement added, "is per-
hitting more satisfactory employment

Continued service for peace and dem

American Legion Auxiliary members as
they re-enroll for 1889, said Mrs. Rosa
Schaefer, president of Frank Lozar
Post Auxiliary Unit, today. She re-
ported a heavy early enrolment, with
many members having paid 1899 dues
before they became officially due.
Interest in the Auxiliary's activities
for perfection of our country's peace
and its democratic institutions is
stronger than ever before" Mrs
Schaefer stated. American women
have been thoroughly awakened to the
danger of war by recent world events
They have been aroused to the threat
to American institutions by the radical
activities in the United States. They
are seeking ways in which to serve fol
tpeace and freedom, and those who are
eligible are finding way to serve ef-
"The Auxiliary is advocating stronger
national defenses to guard the country
against war. For years our organiza-
ton has done effective work in this
cause but we feel that this is a very
critical time and are striving to make
our work even more effective during the
coming year. Every woman who enrolls
in the Auxiliary gives us just that much
more strength for our efforts.
with the American Legion, the Aux
Hilary has long been recognized as G
powerful stabilizing influence in Ameri-
can life and a barrier to the success Of
radicalism of any kind in this country
It's constructive AmericaniSm activities
will be further developed during the
coming year and will give every woman
who enrolls opportunity to work for the
maintenance of the democratic form Of
government in America"
The local Unit is now receiving en-
rollment for the coming year and is
inviting all eligible women, wives
mothers, sisters and daughters of Le-
gionnaireS or of deceased veterans, anc
women who themselves were enlisted ir
war service, into its membership.
