The article this month t is entitled “Hats Off to France,” and I it gives a complete, vivid picture of the courageous French in their present misery. Os the threatening coal shortage he says in part: “France must go pretty cold this winter. The Germans held all summer the coal mines of the northern strip. The rest of the mines, their workmen exempt--1 ed as a military necessity, must serve first of all the navy and the arms factories. Even at that, coal is a bulky burden to the railroads, which are running irregularly. Everywhere the peasants are stripping the last • branches from the trees in order ..o 1 keen the pot boiling this winter.” Two interesting new ideas in the seating arrangement of an automob|e have been brought out by one of the ’ leading American manufacturers for 1915, and shown by pictures appearing in the January Popular Mechanics Magazine. In the four passenger car 1 the rear seats are separate and can ’ be moved forward and backward on ' sliding tracks and also turned slightly sidewise, this arrangement making it possible for passengers to group 1 themselves sociably and with more 1 comfort than in the ordinary type of rear seat. In the six passenger car • the extra seats are so constructed that 1 they fold into spaces at the rear of 1 the front seats and are covered by ’ leather curtains when not in use. In both types the driver’s seat is ’ ated from the frbnt passenger seats 1 by a passageway, so that a passengm ’’ may change from the front to a rear one at will. o s KILLED IN GUN DUELS Chicago, Jan. s,—(Special to Daily 3 Democrat) —Two men were killed and '■ a third wounded early today in two ‘ revolver duels between two gangs of r gunmen and policemen who surprised - them in the act of robbery.

AT THE LYRIC Tuesday Matinee and Evening. Besides the Sixth Episode of “The Perils of Pauline,” we will have three other shows. Five reels in all Story of Sixth Episode. The last attempt to secure Paulino's fortune having failed the two villains are desperate. Harry is exerting all his influence to have Pauline marry him at once and they see their opportunities slipping fast. When looking' around they see that there is going to be a balloon ascension, and they decide to get Pauline to the grounds trusting to be able to do something there to cause an accident. Paulin, much to the chagrin of the conspirators, asks Harry to go along. When they arrive the balloon is about to go up. Harry unconsciously helps them by asking Pauline to see what sitting in a basket feels like. Just as she enters the basket a wild horse runs away and in dashing through the crowd knocks over the men who are holding the ropes. Pauline is carried up alone in the balloon. She is carried some distance, and then the anchor catches in some rocks. There is only one way down. She is forced to slide down the rope. Harry has been following the course of the balloon in his car and arrives in time to see Pauline land on a ledge about half way down a cliff. The slides of the cliff are so steep that there is no way up or down. He gets a rope and proceeds to slide down to her. Just then the conspirators arrive on the scene and cut the rope. Both Harry and Pauline are caught in the trap. A good idea comes to Harry and he climbs up the rope to the balloon and pulls the cutting rope. The baloon falls and they have a rope to the ground. Hicks and Owen, however are on the job and as they land they are attacked. Harry is knocked senseless and Pauline is carried away and locked up in gn old house. She at last is in the power of the two people interested in her disiopearance and Harry has been left unconscious far behind. “The thrills in this episode are in our opinion far better than in any of the previous episodes. The villains are more resourceful and Harry is fooled in his attempt to take care of Pauline. Miss Pearl White and Mr. Crane Wilbur take some very hazardous chances in the episode that would make most people think a few times before going ahead.” —Electric Film Co. o WANTS WORK —Girl wants housework to do.
