AWAITED BY SENATE
Banker's Decision in Matter of Appearing May Determine Question of Confirmation.
WASHINGTON, July 25.—Word still v.as awaited here today from Paul M. Warburg:, of New York, President Wilson's nominee lor the federal reserve board, as to whether or not he would accept the Invitation to appear before the senate banking committee. Upon his final decision In the matter was said to hinge whether or not President Wilson and the administration leaders In the senate would make a fight for his confirmation. Belief wan that unless Mr. Warburg within the next few days reconsiders his refusal to appear, the president would withdraw the nomination and select another for the place. It was thought the nomination could be confirmed if Mr. Warburg accepts the Invitation.
Pending disposition of the Warbur? case, the president probably will not choose a successor to Thomas D. Jones, of Chicago, whose nomination to the reserve board waa withdrawn- Should Mr. Warburg be eliminated it would be necessary to select another banker, the law requiring that there shall be two bankers on the job and there Is only one among those already confirmed.
HER BREAD ON WATERS INCREASES 1,000-F0LD
Newburgh. Woman Lent $50 Forty Years Ago, and Now She Is To Get $50,000.
NEWBURGH, N. Y., July 25.—For $50 that she lent forty years ago, Mrs. Joseph Kampe is to receivc $50,000. She was astounded the other day to receive a letter from Joseph Patten. She has not seen him since he was a youth, when she lent him the $50 to further his plan to go west and make his fortune. He said when he took the money: "Some day I'll pay you a thousand ollars for every dollar of this."
It apparently took him four decades to make his fortune. Mrs. Kampe is the widow of a tailor of this city, who left considerable property. She said she met Patton when he was staying at the 1-acific hotel in Greenwich street, New York •city. He was the son of the proprietor. Mrs. Kampe lived in the hotel several weeks when her bnsband was a patient at a hospital. "It is true," said she, "thai Mr. Patton has written me to say he desired to send me $50,000 in return i\r a $50 loan I made him many, ninny years ago. He may desire to avo'd publicity so for that reason I must refuse to tell at this time where he lives."
•DEER ATTACKS CHILDREN.
Wounded Animal Dashes Through Streets of California Town. UKIAH, Cal., July 25.—While this section has been frequently visited of late by deer from surrounding mountains and several have committed suicide by jumping in front of automobiles or running into fences and breaking their necks, the latest and closest ven ture to the city occurred when a large four-pointer trotted up State street within two blocks of the courthouse. The animal had been woundel an1 ran into the yard at the residence of Marvin Luce.
With Its wound and In the maddened flight for liberty it attacked two small children, and one barely escaped serious injury, being tossed into the air several feet when the deer charged at the children with lowered head and its antlers caught in the child's dress. The animal was killed.

CHICAGO, July 25.—Michael Ryan, the police captain in charge of the district which contained the old south side levee, resigned from the force today.

EXPERT SHOEMAKERS GET ARMY CONTRACTS
25?—A
nation
wide shoemaking contest, just, brought to a close by the awarding of^two airmy contracts to the winners, produce# two hundred and forty pairs of the most perfect samples of military foorgear ever manufactured, according to the board of army experts who passed upon them. "Next to the quality of the sun he carries," said one of these army experts, "more depends upon tho condition of the shoe he wears than upon any other factor that goes toward the make-up of an effective soldier."
As a result of this feeling, the United States army quartermasters have evolved a shoe which, they tay, makes the American fighting man the best shod soldier in the world.
It took over a year of continual and careful experiment before satisfactory results were reached. Countless X-ray photographs were made the position of the bones of the feet were noted and the anatomy before, during and after marches were studied and compared. All this time different models were tried and theories were worked out. Finally the type of shoe was evolved with its straight line on rhe big-toe side, its snug instep and a chance for the toes to lie as freely and naturally as in a moccasin.
When the theory of scientifically covering the foot had been established to the satisfaction of the army experts, various manufacturers placed their plants at the army's disposal In the six thousand pairs worn out in a year's marching for Uncle Sam.
But the quartermaster corps did net limit itself to a single firm. They worked out a system of having each firm submit a sample of what it could do. Two pairs of shoes were offered by each bidder, showing the manufacturer's ability to meet specifications.
The two hundred and forty prize pairs of shoes were the result, and out of these are being selected tho standard for the army's future footgear.
BOY AND GIRL GOLF STARS.
ATLANTA, Ga., July 25.—This city boasts the two finest children golfers in the south, and it is an open question if Miss Alexander Stirling and Perrv Adair are not the best golfers of their ase in America.
Perry, who is only fifteen, qualified in the championship fight in the big Memphis tourney, and fought hla way through five successive matches, beating some of the cleverest golfer* in the south, and reaching the finals, in which he was beaten by Nelson Whitney, of New Orleans, who won the title for the fourth time.
Miss Stirling is sixteen years old, and is just beginning her tournament career- She went to Knoxvllle to take part in the southern women's championship, two weeks ago, and was taken suddenly ill. She was entered in the special handicap medal competition and made the round in 6-5,' breaking the previous record for women, by sevon strokes.
This feat, entirely by itself, stamps Miss Stirling as the most spectacular woman golfer in the south, regardless of rears or experience.
Miss Stirling is expecting to go to Chicago to play in the western women's championship tournament. She is certain to enter for the southern women's championship next year at Birmingham, and/ will take advantage of whatever tournament play the south may afford.
The golfing experience of Miss Stirling and Perry Adair is in both instances a narrative of extreme fitness, close attention and remarkable success. George Adair and Dr. A. S. Stirling both are ardent golfers. Both encouraged their children to play.
Miss Stirling's remarkable game shows the result of sound and careful coaching, constant practice and a large amount of natural talent.
Chick Evans himself—picked by the great British professionals, Vardon and Rav, as the best golfer in America— has" said that Miss Stirling's golfing form is perfect. "That little girl has the prettiest swing of any woman golfer in America," said Chick, "and mashie play Is better than that of nine-tenths of the men on our national handicap list. It is marvelous."

PEGGY CONFESSES I PART, AND PI RTHER LIGHT IS SHED BY A VISITING \OUi\G MAN.
EGGY has confessed to mother that while it is quite true as father and Tom suggested, that she had acquitted herself with great eclat in the kitchen, still there were a few little things, here and there, which she felt she had not completely mastered.
She has very prudently failed to mention the disastrous incident of the more than parboiled potatoes. Also she has shown nice tact in forgetting the occasion of wiping off the top of the stove with a dish towel.
Filling the sink with coffee grounds and boiling the tea in the water were two more slips that she discreetly left unmentioned.
This morning Peggy and mother are foregathered in the kitchen with an eye toward' completing Peggy's culinary tuition. It i& a sort of post-graduate course, wherein Peggy is to be shown the few remaining finer points that she may step forth a thoroughly finished and dependable cook.
Peggy has'approached this little engagement with a vague uneasiness, feeling that perhaps in a hapless moment she might commit a blunder that would reveal to mother the actual extent of her daughter's ineptitude. In other words, Peggy's position is much the same as that of one who endeavors to dance the High Jinks successfully without having heard of it before.
All has gone quite well Indeed and 'Continued
mother apparently had not been moved to the slightest suspicion, when Walter Cowell thrusts his head in the kitchen door, just as he had the day when Peggy had the unhappy experience with the boiled potatoes.
After the usual hearty greetings, Walter selects a chair uninvited and his mood being a jocose and flippant one, he proceeds to indulge in a variety of mirth-provoking remarks. The picture of Peggy thus stirring about in the kitchen under the all-seeing maternal eye seems to appeal to Walter as being very comical indeed. Unmindful of Peggy's very evident alarm, he rallies her on her cooking attainments, saying something in a veiled way about a "can of beans." Behind mother's back Peggy is making a frantic demonstration and waving a sauce p'^ aloft in a most threatening manner.
Walter is subdued at last and goes rn his way, pausing between the verse and chorus of his whistling to chuckle a chuckle or two. If he thinks, however, that his innuendo conveyed noth!hk to Peggy's mother he entertains a grievous misapprehension. Mrs. Gray, though holding her counsel, feels that a clearer light has been thrown on the state of things during her absence and in her thoughts she is severely questioning the veracity of her husband and son.
And Peggy is also reflecting. She is contemplating the most awful things she'll do when she "gets Walter Cowell."

No. 3
C. DaddlMton, Captain Terre Hnute. The success of
Capt. H. M. Ferguson, of Clinton Co., No. 105, in the drill contests, is peculiarly gratifying to his hosts of friends he has in Terre Haute, inside as well outside of the ranks of the Knights of Pythias, and the uniform rank. He is one of
A.C.Dl'DDIiESTON
the cleverest fellows* personally 1hat anyone ever met, in a fraternal way or otherwise, and it can be set down as a fact that his wonderful success will not "swell his head." It is a notable fact that he made his first trip to a uniform rank encampment twenty years ago, in August, 1904, when he went with Mrs. Ferguson to Washington, on his bridal trip as No. 1 of the first four of Terre Haute Co. No. 3, of which he was at that time a member. It was fitting that he should win over such a clever young captain as Capt. F. M. Pelzman, of Washington Co. No. 1, of Washington, D. C., on the twentieth anniversary of his entrance into the drill contests at Washington.
Some persons, including "Fergy" himself, are inclined to attribute his success to the fact that he was once a member of No. 8, but his success is really due to his own hard work and the discipline he has made his men stand up to. He is one of the best fellows in the world, and as his for mer commanding officer, I am proud to see him achieve a success with which I have had nothing to do. He told me since he went into camp that he would be glad to win the first prize to distinguish his retirement from active work as a drillmaster on account of his health, but there is nothing to it. The people of Clinton will not permit him to quit, the enthusiasm
of.
his men will not permit him to quit, and it can be set down as a fact that he will not quit. When the drills are sounded for at Nashville in 1916, Capt. "Bert" Ferguson will be found prepared to enter, and those who contest in class A will be called on to meet a foeman worthy of their steel.
Vigo company No. 83, in addition to its wonderful reputation throughout the supreme domain as a drill organization, is likely to have another dls tinction conferred on it. Gen. W. W. Brown, of the Kansas brigade, is the western representative of the Redpath Lyceum bureau, and is really "dippy" over the "Rusty Hinge" quartette of No. 83. composed of E Manford Collins, Frank Rea$fin, Dr. J. C. Vaughan and Rose Evans. He told me at the 83rd anniversary reception last night that it was the mc st wonderful quartette he had ever heard, and if it were not for the fact that all the Chautauqua dates throughout the west were already closed he would have the quartette on the list of rotable attractions. He has already suggested to the members of the quartette that he can place them for the Redpath course if they are willing to undertake it. He is wonderfully enthusiastic about the quartette and says its work would make it a great attraction wherever It appeared.

CHINA OLD AND UNCLEAN. Nation Lived Eight Centuries Before Time of Moses.
We in America think that tho famous pyramids of Egypt are old. We look back upon their history with a sort of awe. Yet the Chinaman of today comes from a nation who lived and worked and studied celestial philosophy eight centuries before the oiblieal period of Moses, writes Clyde Witmer.
Ordinarily, we look bac upon the history of Greece and Rome as an antiue period. As oomparol with China, our Grecian and Roman history is as modern news. Of the two races of people vbo still survive from out of the period far back in ancient history, the Jews and the Chinese alone are toTt. The Jews, however, have lost their country, and there is no nation wnich they can now claim as their own dlstinctive Semitic nation.
The Chinaman, however, still possesses all of these things perfectly intact. His country still remains wvll preserved. His iRnqruasre is his ow:i possession still, and the yellow man still possesses his distinctive national ity. "John," in addition, has contributed his share toward th world's progress.
Around the commencement of the Christian era, the celestial discovered how to make paper, and a few hundred years after this he devised the art of printing. Far back in historic times, when our Anglo-Saxon ancestors inhabited the British Isl^s, wearing coats of animal skin and fishing in canoes dug out from tfoe trunlss, the forefathers of the pr?s^nt Chinaman were selling Chinuso silka and other profitable wares to the Roman empire.
Although the Chinaman did not jossess the instrument of mathematical precisicn which our engineers of today utilize, yet 200 years before the birth of Christ John Chinaman constructed the great wall around China, which contains material sufficient to tuild a wall six feet high around our entire globe.
