1912 Mm III AWFUL DISASTERS

illustrated articles on the newest wrinkles in fashion and domestic science. “The People’s Institute of Domestic Economy,” tilling a whole page every Sunday, is the newest and best household department in any paper. Dame Curtsey’s “Novelties in Entertainment” is a valued feature. The dramatic and musical pages, written by James O’Donnell Bennett and Felix Borowski, are admittedly without their equal in the West. The array of splendid special articles by skilled writers, finely illustrated, also is typical of the high literary quality of the Record-Herald. In the way of humor there is the comic colored supplement for children, besides S. E. Kiser’s delightful “Alternating Currents” for everybody.

School Notes

There are a thousand and one reasons why people fight. Most men and almost as many women fight and scrap either over governmental affairs, business propositions, because of drunkenness, for spite, or because of love. Some people are natnral born scrappers. They carry a chip around on their shoulder all the time. Such men should join the army or navy.

School has again settled down to routine work after the holiday break. After next week there will lie a few changes in the work. The Juniors will have, finished plane Geometry and will take op Commercial Arithmetic with the Seniors. The Sophomores will have finished Algebra and will take up plane Geometry. Albiu Rnub, Gertrude Frame and Muriel Tribby have been out of school on account of sickness.

The last of the above mentioned causes for fighting probably causes as many or more deaths than any of the others. Yes, love will make a person shoot his friend without hesitation. The moving picture concerns have taken this mode of excitement for the basis of hundreds of their photo-plays. Nearly every moving picture show one visits in the cities show that old triangular situation where two men fall in love with the same girl. Of course the two men fight and the best one wins out. And these photo-plays are up-to-date.

NAME PERPETUATED BY DOGS

A year of awful disasters—historians will probably say something like this of the year 1012, whose record of catastrophes is long and impressive. The sinking of the largest steamship ever built —the Titanic—on April 15 easily took precedence over all other disasters. This accident generally was described as the worst of its kind in modern marine annals. The number of of persons who went down to death with the great White Star liner was 1,595; 745 persons, including passengers and crew, were able to crowd into life boats and were picked up by the Carpathia. It was the Titanic’s maiden voyage, the boat was considered as safe as anything fashioned by man’s cunning could be, and jet after what seemed to be a more or less trivial collision with an iceberg in the Atlantic ocean, 1,150 miles east of New York, the mammoth steamer filled with water, slowly sank, and, just before going under, was split in twain. Some of the world’s greatest figures were aboard that ship and were lost with it.

Bernard de Menthon and the Famous Hospice He Founded in the Alps.

The Record’s

Doris Million has again entered • school, this time as au all-day student.

Little did Bernard de Menthon dream when he founded the Augustinian hospiee in the year 963 that his name was to be perpetuated through all the ages by a dog. But such is the case. The regal St. Bernards, gifted with nobility, sagacity, strength, Endurance and love of man. the very elements so often found wanting in humanity, are named after the good de Menthon. In the perilous passes of the Alps these faithful animals have saved hundreds of lives in the course of time, having been trained by the monks for the work. In the pass of Great St. Bernard, at an elevation of 8,120 feet, de Menthon budded the historic monastery for the benefit of travelers journeying to Rome. It is on the road between Aosta in Piedmont and Martigny and Valias, and stands near the summit, where snowstorms of winter rage fiercely. The hospice has sleeping accommodations for eighty travelers, and can shelter 300. Three of the finest and most valuable St. Bernards in the world are owned by Col. Jacob Euppert, living in the state of New York. The animals are all first-prize winners, imported from England, where they were purchased at a cost of something over $6,000. The trio are called Champion Young Stormer, Queen of Pearls and Splendidus.

Love caused deaths ever since men and women were on earth; and furthermore, all probabilities are that love will continue to cause untimely deaths until dooms day. Fights should never occur. As the world becomes more civilized and educated, many unnecessary scraps will be prevented. If a girl loves one boy better than another, the unfortunate lad should remember that he has no control of the girl’s mind, and that the love affair is half hers and not all his.

Basket Ball.

The N. R. H. S. basket ball team went to Crnwfordsville Friday night and were defeated by the strong C. H. S. bunch 21 to 8. During the first half the Crawfordsville team played rings around our boys, according to the news reporter’s view, but in the last half we got into the. game and gave them a run for their money. The first half ended 14 16 1 in favor of Crawfordsville. On both sides there was very poor exhibition of basket shooting and each side missed a great many good shots. Jim Alexander was back in the geme in his old form during the last ten minutes of the play which seemed to infuse new life into the team. According to the Crnwfordsville Journal, Cunningham starred for N. R. H. S.

According to the modern method, if John and Mary are in love, and some one winks at Mary, it is John’s place to get that jealous rascal out of the immediately before he makes a hit with Mary. That’s the system. And after the marriage, the fighting turns. It is not for Mary, but against hex;. In too many cases John would thank God, after marriage, if some one would wink at Mary and carry her off, but no one cares for the job then. So there you are. Fight, brother! Fight! It don’t do a bit of good. It’s hard on the eyes, they say. It makes more enemies than friends. It makes people’s estimation of you less—not greater. But fight! if you wish—that’s your business.

Explosions, fire, storms Jon land and water) and railway accidents were dreadful harvesters in the last twelve months. In the disasters that attracted general attention it is shown that fire and explosions killed 151; storms and earthquakes, 2,385; marine disasters, not including those caused by storms, 1,779; railway accidents, 126. Scores of others were lost in minor accidents whose number each year is legion. The year was a terrible one for storms on land and sea. There were floods, cyclones, cloudbursts, fierce gales on ocean and lakeall taking their human toll. Railroad wrecks were numerous, chiefly from collisions which one would think are preventable.

STRAW AND GRASS FOR WOOD

Englishman Has Invented a Substl tute Material for Matches Because Lumber Is Scarce.

The annual consumption of wood in the manufacture of matches is almost incredible. In view of the scarcity of lumber and its consequent high prices Carre, an Englishman, offers what he claims to be an efficient and economical substitute. It is a composite made of straw and dried grass and is called artificial wood.

The straw is passed through crushing rolls, thence through cylindrical cutters which divide it into strips, afterward supplied with an adhesive. The strips, inclosed at both ends with layers of paper, are forced through other rolls and through linked jnolds in thc form of a chain, where they are subjected to heat and pressure, when they emerge in the form of round splits and are then cut to the proper length for matches. It is thought that this produce may be used for building purposes. —America.

Several good games are promised at home, West LaFnyette, Roachdale, Veedershurg, Zionsville, and perhaps Waveland and Thorntown.

Recent issues of the Sunday Record-Herald remind one that Chicago may fairly lay claim to producing the best newspapers in the world, not excepting those of New York. The Sunday RecordHerald, in foreign news alone, has its own special cable service in addition to those of the New York Herald, World, Journal of Commerce and Associated Press. This is a fair example of the completeness of the paper in every department. Aside from the regular news features, Abere is something in the Sunday Record-Herald -for every member of the family.

A girl who was going 2,000 miles from her home to be married had been the recipient of numerous showers and presents. Her sister, wishing to entertain in a unique way, gave a luncheon in her honor and by way of a surprise asked each guest to bring a small gift for the groom, this gift to be accompanied by a letter or an original poem addressed to him. Imagine the bride-to-be’s astonishment, says a contributor to Good Housekeeping, upon opening the boxes and parcels, to find, not presents for herself, but socks, handkerchiefs, ties, pajamas, collar buttons, shaving soap, powder, tooth paste that a man 40 miles away from civilization might appreciate.

The ladies were organizing a bazaar for the disposal, of holiday and other goods. Since the local merchants have recently been hard hit for contributions to various purposes, there was the purpose on the part of the ladies to solicit outside firms as thoroughly as possible. Mrs. S. C. Huston, as secretary, addressed a kindly suggestion to Montgomery Ward & Co. of Chicago, and received a reply to the effect that: “Fjom what we have beard of your city, it is amply able to take care of itself and is making good progress. In the meantime, charity begins at home, and we have many purposes here to which we contribute.” —Omaha Trade Exhibit. ,

The enormous increase in the number of moving picture shows, not alone in the cities, but in small towns, has brought many patients to the oculists, especially with troubles that may be classed as eye strain. An oculist in a recent number of the Journal of the American Medical Association says the principal fault of moving picture shows is that the “fixation point’’ chosen by the eye, that is the point on which the eye rests, is unstable and jerky and the eye is tired and strained in following this point. The swiftly passing series of pictures tires the eye and the brain and the illumination is often poor.
