Irvin Merry will go to Effingham, 111., next week to see about entering a school- of photography which is 10-ated -ated there and which is said to be he greatest school of its kind in the •ountry. Irvin expects to learn the business and has already shown considerable talent in amateur photography. “Often a child in the home is regarded as rebellious,” says a writer m the March Woman’s Home Comoanion, “when it is merely trying to idjust its reason to the demand made by the parent. It argues objects, find fault, and is difficult to manage, and parents do not understand that the difficulty lies in the fact that the child has an unusually well-developed reasoning faculty, and probably a vigorous body as well. Such a child needs training, not punishment.” t In the March Woman’s Home Companion a suoceesfill , business man says that s alaries air fixed by the amount and quality of work that a nan can deliver. “Pull,” in his opinion, is a negligible factor in the business world. “And that applies to the man who is getting thirty thousand do’lars a year just as truly as it does to the man w'ho is getting thirty dollars a month. The only way that I can be p .id more money than 1 am getting is by delivering more work to my company than I am now delivering, or by showing my company how to cave money, and so have a larger profit at the end of the year.” In the March American Magazine Is an *ccatmt. of James A. Farrell, the groate-t trader on earth-bound to be one of the leaders in Uncle Sam's new era cf world domination of industry. “As president of the United States Steel corporation,” weare told, “he line fleets carrying $100,000,000 worth of ateel products across the seven seas to tiie ends of the earth. He is not the ‘promoting’ type*at all. He is a master salesman, with wonderful knowledge of his goods and the markets. Farrell has girdled the globe with American steel. He has nearly three hundred agencies in sixty countries. and no island of the South Seas is too far distant for his fleets. He seeks no publicity. He is never interi viewed.”

COLONY HAS FEW INDUSTRIES Belgian Congo, After Thirty Years, la Still In the Early Stages of Development. Belgian Congo, founded thirty years ago. Is still in the early stage of development. So far practically no manufacturing Industries have yet been established and. aside from the important copper mines In the Katanga district, the only large industrial enterprises are the railways and river transportation services. It may be said that all business activities tn the colony are devoted to the collection of tropical products—rubber, ivory, gum copal, palm oil and kernels, cacao, etc. —and the railway .and river services are In reality only accessories to these activities, having been established primarily to aid in the transportation of these products to the seaports. The gathering of rubber in Congo has never recovered its former activity, and In all probability will never again be so rich a source of income to the colony as it was previous to 1912. The cultivated product from the plantations in the East Indies Is superior In quality to the wild rubber of the Congo, and, owing to the active competition of the larger plantations and better location as to shipping facilities, it may be placed upon the market at lower rates. RECOGNIZED VOICE OF THIEF Blind Pencil Seller Able to “Identify” Man Who Had Stolen Small Sum From Him. • • “Jimmy” Moriarity, a blind pencil seller, identified by a voice a man whose face he could not recognize. A few weeks ago John Reggionl went'to the blind man’s little room, offered to sell him two chickens and discovered he was really blind. He concluded Moriarity was a miser, too. New Year’s eve he came to collect. He did not knock at the door, but when Moriarity approached he sent the old man to the floor with a blow. Reggionl. accompanied by seven others, was taken to the blind man. Moriarity, after the fourth man had said, “Any chickens today,” shouted: “That’s him.” Reggionl then confessed he had stolen 17 cents. The blind man said later that after hearing Reggionl's mother speak he would not prosecute.—New York Dispatch Philadelphia Ledger.

The Ruffed Grouse, Too. The pinnated grouse, or prairie chicken, Is by no means the only desirable game bird whose extinction is threatened in Minnesota. The ruffed grouse, or partridge, Is in even greater danger. Its growing scarcity “has been noted by many travelers along country roads, who are accustomed to seeing many of these birds feeding along the way, especially in August. This year very few were seen, where heretofore they have been numerous. It Is probable that the automobile is In large part responsible for the rapid disappearance of the ruffed grouse, for the automobile has completely changed the conditions under which the bird Is hunted. In former days hunters went out perhaps once a week, where now they can go every afternoon. The radius of theii activity has also been greatly increased, so that places that were once beyond their reach are now within easy motoring distance. Thus what were practically game refuges are no longer such.—Minneapolis Journal. War Causes Birds’ Suffering. That birds have suffered from the devastating fire of the opp<Mpg hosts in Europe there can be no question. Captain Crawshay bears testimony’ of this in a letter to the Royal society for the Perfection of Birds. Harriers, he has noticed in France, have come in for “hot times” when gun positions are located in low bottons which form the favorite hawking grounds cf these birds. “Partridges,” he adds, “I sometimes see scared by the bursting shells.” Another relates the distress of a pair of swallows that returned in the spring to the cottage which had hitherto afforded them harborage, only to find it a heap of ruins. After disconsolately flying'round and round, as if unable to believe the evidence of their own eyes, they eventually discovered a suitable site for fl.eir nursery in a small military hut. A great number of such huts, it is pleasing to learn, have been used for this purpose. “The Sins of the Fathers.” Mr. Lloyd-George’s son, Capt. Richard Lloyd-George, whose sudden promotion to a lieutenant colonelcy was officially denied recently, has inherited a fine gift of oratory from his famous father. When he was little more than a boy, he once deputized for his parent ala public meeting and convulsed the audience by the manner in w’hich he accounted for his presence there. Responding to a vote of thanks, young Mr. Richard said that Mr. Lloyd-, George was unavoidably prevented from speaking that day, and ho added gravely: , • “There is a verse which states that; the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children, and—that is the reason I’m here!” —Pearsons. Still Talking About It. Hojax—Windig Imagined himself a second Clay during the campaign, but after the election his name was mud. Tomdix—Oh, I don’t knoW. ,Mud dries up occasionally.

FUTURE FOR IRISH CULTURE • _ Yeats, Eminent Playwright, Has Great i Confidence In the Developments of the Future. Thomas Beecham, who took the chair when an address on “The Irish .Theater" was delivered by W. B. Yeats at Sunderland house, according to the London Times, said the Irish theater was the most remarkable dramatic theatrical phenomenon this country had seen for nr e than 200 years. “One phenomenon in the theater of our day is the great revival of romantic drama in Europe. We see an effort to establish what was known as English opera, and if that is successful It will do probably more to reestablish the legitimate, literary romantic drama than anything else,” he declared. Mr. Yeats said the question was often asked, “What is a bad play?” His reply was that it was a play which depended for its success upon some temporary interest. The majority of plays in London were of that character and would pass away because they appealed to a temporary interest. It had been said that Ireland did not read much; but in Ireland they would ffind a tradition of spoken culture and unwritten literature, and the Irish theater movement begun 15 years ago would not have been started had there not been confidence in that culture. Ireland was, of all countries, the least sentimental and one of the most passionate. He did not say that victory would come in their lifetime, or for two or three generations, but there would come a real national culture out of Ireland. COTTON STALKS HAVE VALUE - Hitherto Regarded as Waste, They Are to Be Turned Into a Marketable Commodity. Considering the fact that in the neighborhood of 75,000,000 tons of cotton stalks have been destroyed annually as worthless and only in the way, the possibilities of a plant capable of converting them into paper and artificial silk are readily comprehended. A plant is now being erected at Greenwood, Miss., which will be devoted to the preparation of pulp from cotton stalks, and it is said that owing to the stronger fibers of the cotton stalk pulp, paper manufactured from It is considerably stronger in proportion to its thickness and weight than that produced from the usual wood pulp. It has been the custom to cut and burn the stalks, after the cottonpicking season has ended, at a cost of about a dollar a ton. The use of cotton pulp is not limited to the making of paper. The stalk fibers have been found capable of withstanding the nitrating process involved In the making of gun-cotton. The fibers also produce an artificial silk, motion-pic-ture films, and such chdmfcals as pyroxilene, alcohol and acetone. Wife Filches His Robe. “Dawgone, I want my robe back!” wailed Allan Shelden, resident of Grosse Pointe Shores, in police headquarters, according to the Detroit Free Press. “That was a fox fur robe worth $2,000,”’ continued Shelden. “I left it for a few minutes in my automobile In front of the county building, and now it’s gone. Get busy! Get some detectives and find it before my wife knows it’s gone or—good night!” Sympathetic clerks took down a description of the valuable robe, and soon two detectives were on the trail. Shelden still stood by the desk, urging haste. A woman had entered, carrying in her arms a robe. “I am Mrs. Shelden,” said the woman. smiling at the office force. “You see, I took the robe to give my husband a lesson. He's so careless about leaving it in the machine.” Shelden mopped his brow. Medical Lectures for Women. A working knowledge of medicine, “first aid” and personal hygiene is offered to women by the Woman’s Med- i ical college, Philadelphia, which has ; outlined a series of lectures for women outside the hospital. Dr. Clara Marshall, dean of the college, has charge of the lectures. Believing every woman should know how to render “first aid," twelve talks, covering care of burns, fractures and simple surgery, have been arranged. | A practical demonstration of various bandages and dressing, with opportunity to practice, will be given in ten lectures, under the direction of Dr. Harriet L. Hartley, clinical profeesor of surgery. Dr. Mary P. Rupert will lecture on such conditions as heat prostrations, drowning and poisoning. Rang Fire Alarm for Baby. The fire department of New York has been called upon to respond to most all sorts of calls, but one re-i cently is considered the limit. Fire headquarters received a “still alarm" over the telephone from Quincy court, in the north end.'and when Ladder 1 from Friend street and Act-, ing Chief Hines arrived they found a baby had convulsions from the whooping cough and the excited mother had summoned help from the fire department. Developing English Industry. Glass-making research is a new feature at Sheffield university. The war cut off many kinds of glass products from England, but the investigations have been so effective that 8,000 Yorkshire glassworkers, formerly turning oat only cheap glass bottles, are reported to be now making a varied lot. cf materials hi fine glass.
