THE PLYMOUTH TRIBUNE. PLYMOUTH, IND. HENDRICKS & CO.. - - Publishers. GIRLS IN CITIES. The young girl who tried dramatically to take her life in New York recently through disappointment and disillusion placed the blame upon the wrong shoulders. It in no degree rests upon either the business or public social side of American life, says Washington Post. The responsibility for such an outcome must be borne by 1 those who are in duty bound to give their children right views of life. The sight of a young girl, however precocious, going to a city like New York without friends or advisers to whom ehe would listen, and very evidently Lead-strong and impulsive, there to epend two years writing a book and precious manuscripts which she romantically wishes to be buried with lier, calls forth nothing but pity. But this sentiment does not obscure the fact that the girl was permitted to gain a false view of herself and her relations with the world. Acts such as hers in no degree justify the wholesale condemnation of the business life of our cities or warrant the sweeping statement of a young girl facing at once both womanhood and eternitj' in saying that "a girl cannot get along honorably in New York."

Still another use for automobiles. The town of Jamaica, L. I., had an unpleasant time when a main burst and the water supply was shut off completely. To say nothing of the annoyance, inconvenience'and danger in private dwellings, the orphan asylum and other institutions were subjected to especially distressing experiences. To meet at least partially the demand an automobile service was organized, the machines going T 1th tanks, barrels and other receptacles to points where water could be obtained and bringing it to those in need. This was at best but a poor substitute for the regular system, yet it proved that in time of stress the auto is a valuable Auxiliary. Still they come, those Chinese students who are to be trained at American educational Institutions. A party of sixty-eight has arrived at llonol alu. These students are some of the number sent by the Chinese government, the expenses to be paid from the Boxer indemnity money returned by the United State?, says Troy Times. That kindly act has brought a rich repaid in tue form of the esteem, gratitude and confidence of China and the Influence that will be exerted through the absorption of American ideas by the bright young men who are the "beneficiaries of the arrangement. Engineers at work on the Panama canal propose to leave as little as possible to chance. They are now engaged in experiments to determine the effect of sea water on concrete, an enormous quantity of which Is employed In the construction of the canal. Concrete in different stages of preparation and with various forms of protection will be subjected to the action of the salt water and the results urill be carefully noted. Probably there never was a great undertaking of this kind in which so many precautions were taken to guard against future risk. Germans usually do things thoroughly, and the announcement that there Is no cholera in Berlin, although the disease hns broken out In the viclnlty, no doubt testifies to the effectiveness of the safeguards employed. Modern medical science is usually victorious over the ailments once regarded as scourges, against -which it was almost useless to contend. Yellow fever, cholera and the like are no longer the terror they were formerly. General Information concerning infantile paralysis Is meager, but since a -woman of sixty-six has died of the malady, the fact is plain that the scientists who gave It a name were not overcrowded with information ither. A Chicago professor 6ays that the law is a hindrance to some people. If by some people ho means burglars, pickpockets and grafters, we mlht add that that is exactly what the law Is Intended to be. Farmers vrill not become greatly Interested In aeroplanes, monoplanes and biplanes until they have worn out their automobiles.

DIETZ DEFIANT; TRUCE IS ENDED

Defender of Cameron Dam Refuses to Surrender. SHERIFF ORDERED TO ACT Terms Offered by Wisconsin Governor Are Again Rejected by Outlaw, Who Refuses to Surrender Peaceably. i "Wtr.tor Wis. John F. Diptz hfta refused the terms offered by Gov3rnor Davidson's representatives, and Deputy Thorbahn has been told by Sheriff Madden "to do his duty." The deputies plan to close in on the defender of Cameron dam. Tbey say they will shoot if he will not hold up his hands when so ordered. The finish may be expected at any time. Attorney General F. L. Gilbert and Col. O. G. Munson, Governor Davidson's secretary, held two conferences with Dletz. Dietz laid down the conditions under which he would surrender peaceably. He demands that all charges against him be dropped except the one resulting from his Ehooting of Bert Horal. He says he Is willing to stand James O. Davidson. trial on that charge. No concessions were made, in the terms of surrender. Dietz's wife and children are armed and the battle Is scheduled to begin when the deputies attempt to rush the cabin under orders to take Dletz "dead or alive." The impending battle' is the outgrowth of four years war by Dietz on the logging company above him on a small stream. Dietz owns, or thinks he owns, the site of Cameron dam, which the company must use In Its business. Unsuccessful litigation and attempts to arrive at conclusions by legal process have made him Intrench himself In his cabin, bidding defiance to the authorities. His daughter and two of his sons were wounded in a skirmish this week. This town Is waiting with bated breath for the first sounds of the final battle, which 13 expected to be a fatal one for some of the participants on both sides. Madison, Wis. Letters having skulls and crossbones in red and black, threatening the life of Governor Davidson unless he instructs Sheriff Madden of Winter to discontinue the hostilities against Dietz, are being received at the executive office hourly. While the governor feels there need be no fear that they will be carried ! out he Is annoyed and perhaps a trifle nervous over the letters, and Chief of Police Shaughnessy was called to the executive office and the letters shown to him. It was decided to place a police gyard around the executive mansion until the present wave subsides. AVIATOR FALLS TO HIS DEATH. Plunges 1,600 Feet Every Bone In Body Except Arm, Broken.

Mr. Clarke's announcement says in part: "The Standard Oil company has Inaugurated a campaign to Increase the world's consumption of refined oil. The level of prices for refined oil today In tho United States is lower than at any time during recent years, and as a direct result of these prices the consumption of refined oil in this country is increasing. The same policy is now being actively pursued abroad." As indicated by this statement, the Standard company began trying out the policy of lower prices in the United States, though without announcing that it had in view a campaign that would cover the world. In August tho price of refined oil In tanks was reduced from 6 to cents a gallon, aud tho price of refined oil In barrels at the refinery was cut 1 cent, from 9i to 8 cents a gallon.

DEAD MAN'S CROSSING CLAIMS TWO LIVES ON PENNSY. " DROVE IN FRONT OF TRAIN Columbia City Tragedy Makes Total of Eight Lives Lost There Both Bodies Mangled and Horse Killed Wagon Demolished. Columbia City, Ind. The second section of Pennsylvania train' eastbound No. 6, running as an extra equipment train without passengers, with live Pullman sleepers and nine baggage cars being pulled by two engines and running at a sped of 63 miles per hour struck and instantly killed Arch E. Anderson, twenty-one years old, and Reed Haas, nine years old, as they were crossing the tracks at the Kanaly crossing just east of the Pennsylvania depot coming from the south in a covered mail wagon driving a single horse. The train was running on the south track. The pilot of the engine cut the ; horse in two and literally tore it to j pieces, the remains of the carcass j alighting 73 feet away. The light ru ral mail wagon wtih canvas top was demolished, hardly a spoke In a wheel remaining intact. The body of the -Haas boy was thrown 223 feet east of the spot where the train struck the rig and after plowing through a woven wire fence. The body of young Anderson was thrown 200 feet east of the crossing. S. P. Craig of Fort Wayne, the engineer on the head engine, said he no-, ticed the flagman at the crossing, but did not see the rig until nearly the instant of the disaster. He said he had sounded his warning for the crossing arid gave the danger signal. He says that the only sight that he witnessed of the accident was the face of the Haas boy just as the train struck the wagon. The engineer said that the lad was seemingly looking him in the face, and the expression will long be remembered. This makes eight persons that have been killed at this crossing in the past eiht years and is known as dead man's crossing to everyone. Anderson was just recently appointed as substitute mail carrier for William Haas, the father of the boy, and was one of the most popular young men in this community. He was a member of Company G, of this city. Reed Haas who met death with Anderson made the trip daily. He attended school in this city at the south ward. Fixes Responsibility for Wreck. Bluffton, Ind. Coroner Thoma of Wells county returned his findings in the Kingsland disaster, where fortythree lives were taken by collision of electric cars on the Wabash Valley line.

Wayne, and Conductor Del Wilson, in charge of the south-bound extra car, were responsible for the wreck by reason of failure to heed orders. The coroner also finds that the construction of the cars was a factor in the loss of life, the floor of one having been higher than the floor of the other. Corkwell and Wilson were indicted by the Wells county grand jury for involuntary manslaughter. Gives Up Hopes of Finding Dynamiters Los Angeles, Cal. That the search for the Times dynamiters on ithe coast Is practically regarded as futile by the police was evidenced when it became known that the detective bureau had sent to all important cities of the world descriptions of the suspected persons and requests for their arrest. One more body was taken from the ruins. There is still a great mass of wreckage to be removed. Three more bodies are believed to be in the debris. Was Veteran of Peace and War. St. Joseph, Mo. W.

Doty, health officer of the" port, reported the case with the additional information that another cholera patient from the Moltke is under treatment at Swinburne Island. This makes three eases of cholera which have actually reached this port. All cf the steerage passengers and part of the crew will be removed to Hoffman Island for detention.

NEW EQUIPMENT OF SCHOOLS Idea Adopted In Washington Removes Fear of Formality by Making Family Groups of the Children.

To take away the old fear of the stiff-disciplined schoolrooms and make them into a nice little meeting place, where children have a splendid time, and incidentally learn more and better lessons than children ever learned before, an entirely new experiment will be tried which will result in an enormous investment In new furniture, if the scheme is shown to be practicable. The idea is from the brains of Stephen E. Kramer, director of intermediate instruction, and John A. Chamberlain, supervisor of manual training, and is brand new In school circles. The scheme has to do with the little stiff-legged desks which the children in the first and second grades have studied at from the early times when desks supplanted the old-fashioned "forms." The desks sit in rows, formal and formidable, and the black Iron legs of the desks and the Etiffness with which these little pieces of furniture sit on the floor all" add to the strictness of discipline which In these latter days is beginning to be looked upon as having disadvantages as well as advantages. Mr. Kramer has devised a little table desk, only a few pounds In weight, which any first-grade child can lift up and carry around the room. Mr. Chamberlain .drew the plans and made the models. A little chair gees with each small table desk, and both desk and chair can be picked up and carried anywhere In the schoolroom. When the teacher wants to tell them a simple tale of how one and one makes two, they will pick up their little chairs, push aside the desks and Bit around the teacher's chair In a very fascinating little family group. The chairs and desks bave rubber tipped feet, eo there will be little noise. v In this way the teacher will get right in among her children. When she is demonstrating at the blackboard the little boys and girls will bring their chairs and sit close to her. As everyone knows, the present method of having straight and stiff lines of desks and chairs makes It im perative that some of the children will have to sit far off In the back row. The idea will gain favor, it is be lieved, and will also take away a lit tie of the first fear of the schoolroom that 6mall children have. Washirg ton Star. And Still They Come. They are coming back. Every ship brings more of them, and we should think up clever, original utterances with which to greet them such, for instance, as "Isn't -America a pretty decent country, after all?" or "How did you enjoy the customs inspection?or "Well, well! old boy, did you have a good time? Seasick, eh?" It is wonderful, really, the persist ence with which people keep coming home from abroad when they knowperfectly "well what they've got to face.

WHY NEW "ORLEANS

CITY IS LOGICAL POINT FOR WORLD'S PANAMA EXPOSITION. Its Geographical Position and Many Other Considerations Mark It as Most Suitable Spot for. Dedication of Great Work, Public sentiment has decided that the completion of the Panama Canal in 1915 shall be celebrated with a great International Exposition la which all the nations of the world may participate; and the question of where this Exposition Is to be held Till be settled by Congress at its approaching session. New Orleans and San Francisco are contesting for the honor of holding tbis Exposition, and both cltiea bave guaranteed Immense sums of money as an evidence of their ability to finance so great an enterprise. An Exposition worthy of the term "World's Fair," such as New Orleans proposes to build, will be a great educational movement. Its success as such, however, will depend entirely upon the percentage of our population who can secure its educational advantages, thla In turn, depends upon its location, as the time in traveling to and from the Exposition, and the cost In railroad and Pullman fares, are the most important factors. Considering these matters. New Orleans claims to being the "Logical Point" for this Panama Exposition, seem to be fully substantiated by the following facts: New Orleans Is 500 miles from the center of population In the United States. San Francisco Is 2,500 miles distant therefrom. Within a radhis of 500 miles from New Orleans there are 17.500,000 people. Within the same radius from Sari Francisco there are only 2,000,000. Within a radius of 1,000 miles from New Orleans, there are 65,000,000. Within the same radius from San Francisco there are only C.000,000. At an average of 900 miles from New Orleans, there are 70 of our principal cities with a combined population of 20.000,000. Averaging 900 miles from San Francisco there are only 8 large cities, with a com-' blned population of Just 1.000,000. The average distance of all these cities to New Orleans Is 792 miles, to San Francisco 2,407 miles. Over 75 per cenL of the people of the United States could go to an Exposition there at an average expense for railroad fare of $12.50, as against an average of $37.50 to the Pacific Coast; and for several millions of our people, the Pullmaa fare and Dining Car expenses alone, for a trip to San Francisco, would amount to more than all their transportation expenses for a trip to New Orleans. This Is an Important public question to be settled by Congress at the session which convenes In December. Many of our readers will wish to visit this World's Panama Exposition, and if held in New Orleans a great "many more could spare the time and money for the trip than could go to San Francisco. Therefore, we urge our readers to write to the two senators from this State and the congressman from this district, requesting them to support New Or leans in the contest Managing a Husband.
