SEW WORLD MAP TO QE MORE PERFECT 0 Geographer's Dream Will Soon Be Realized Eight Nations Assist. -
New York, May 6 Work on the American aection of a new world map, in which every country will be drawn on the lame scale, that the relative size and characteristic! of each may be shown, Is making rapid progress under the direction of the United States geological survey. Nine of the fifty-two Sheets, each representing 86,400 square miles, have been completed, and surveyors and cartographers are working on the others, which, it Is aid, will be Issued rapidly. The work Is part of an international movement of nine of the more important governments, each of which has been alloted a part of the world's surface for mapping. The scale of the map one to one million gives it Its name the international one-million map and geographers say that it is the greatest step forward ever taken in their science and in cartography. The new map will consist of about one thousand and five hundred sheets, each about twenty by thirty inches, representing a territory 240x360 miles, 4 degrees of latitude and 6 of longitude. At this rate the surface of the earth would need 2.642 sections. But the number is reduced by the fact that three-fourths of the earth's surface is covered with ocean, which is not to be mapped, except where there are Islands, The completed map will be 150 feet long by 75 feet high. The plan for a uniform map of the world, which has lory? been a necessity to geographers, dates back eighteen years, and It Is to Professor Albrecht Tenck, then professor of geography In the University of Vienna, now of the University of Berlin, that most credit Is due for the undertaking, according to Herman Gaunt, of the United States geographical survey, who Outlined, a few days ago, the story of the great work. "The trouble with most maps," said Mr. Gaunt, "is that no two are on the same scale. Kven in the United States It Is only within a comparatively few years that the government has undertaken a uniform map of the whole country, while those of foreign countries for purposes of comparison were all on different scales. The proposal for an International map on a single scale, and that 1 to 1,000,000, dates back to 1891, when Professor Penck placed the Idea before the international geographical congress In its session In Berne, Switzerland. The delegates realised the difficulties caused by various maps and appreciated the slue of one that would be uniform. A committee of twenty delegates, representing ten countries, was appoint ad, but Its size made It unwieldy .and s subcommittee of three was appoint? sd. . y Agreeing on Points. "This subcommittee, headed by Edward Brueckner, professor of geography In the University of Berne, studled the question and reported In 1895 to the sixth geographical congress In London. - Ilts report outlines the points on which the nations should agree, as catographers of different countries used different methods of Showing the earthVphyslcal features." "Nothing was done at this congress beyond accepting the report, but the Berenta congress In Berlin, In 1S99, as compllshed nothing owing to the refusal of some delegates to accept the French demand that Paris should be used as the basis of meridians, and the refusal of the English to accept the metric system. Mr. Gaunt continued: Between this congress and the fetghth, held In Washington, in 1904. Prance, German and Great Britain bed prepared maps seperately on several countries all on the scale of 1 to 1.0OO.0OO, and Prof. Penck used their differences as the basis of his argument fof one, that would be uniform. He Showed that even with these different maps one was able for the first time to make an Intelllgen comparison of CUTICH CURED F Frther, Mother and Child had It for 8 Months. Heads Mass of Sores.

FIRE CAUSED PANIC Six Rescued from Burning Broadway Hotel. (American News Service) New York. May 6. More than 100 guests were driven in panic from the Hotel Churchill at 14th street and Broadway when fire broke out In the basement shortly before 8 o'clock this morning. Three alarms were turned In within half an hour. The fire spread to the Gophir Diamond company's store adjoining the hotel and then to the Jewelry establishment of II. SchloBS. From there it went to the store of the Truly Warner Hat company. In the first hour half a dozen firemen were overcome and were taken unconticlous from the buildings. One hundred guests were in the hotel when the flames were (Uncovered. Through prompt work on the part of Lewis Day, clerk, and the hotel force, they were aroused and all but six reached the street in safety. The six consisted of four women and two children. One of the women was blind. All of them were rescued after heroic work by the firemen. Among the six firemen overcome was Captain Hanley of Engine company 14, whose condition was reported critical. The Hotel Churchill was formerly the Morton House.
size at least, and urged that details be unified." . Nothing Done By Congress. , While nothing was done by this congress, Professor Penck's plea resulted In the preparation bytthe United States of Several maps on the proposed scale. The unit chosen was the state, and these maps resulted in the passage of resolutions at the Ninth congress of Geographers, held in 1908, In Geneva, by which a conference was held In London in November, 1909, by representatives of the United States, Austro-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia and England. Japan was invited to join, but sent no delegates. "At this conference all difficulties were swept away," said Mr. Gaunt. "France agreed to accept Greenwich as the basis of fixing meridians, and In return the English and American delegates accepted the metric system, though permission was granted to use feet or vents in parentheses after the official designations. Symbols were chosen to represent rivers, cities towns, mountains, etc., and it was decided to use the local spelling of names, Rome being called Roma, Vienna Wien, Florence Firenz, etc. Fro China and other Asiatic countries the spelling used will be that adopted by the respective governments. In Austria, where some towns are known by four or five names at times, choice was left to the government. Altitude by Colors. "On the new map, altitude and depth of sea will be indicated by colors, su perimposed on contour lines such as we now use In our government maps, the colors being shaded one Into another. Altitude up to three hundred meters, about nine hundred and eighty-five feet, will be represented by deepening shades of green, as the el evation increases. From green It shades Into buff, and at five hundred meters becomes brown, growing dark er to three thousand meters. Altitudes greater than three thousand meters are shown by violet, shading to white for mountains higher than seven thousand meters." Each of the sheets will cover four degrees of latitude and 6 of longitude, thus requiring sixty to go around the world, and twenty five to reach from pole to pole. The sheets will be made to Justify, so that they may be fitted together, and as it Is an International boundary work boundaries of countries will not limit what a sheet will show. "The United States will prepare fif ty-two of these sheets," said Mr. Gaunt. "The survey has nine of these sheets under way, covering the east ern central and western states. These have been prepared on a scale of 1 to 5.00.000, eight miles to the inch, and will be published on a scale of 1 to 625.000, ten miles to the inch, for general use, though the million scale will also be prepared. The largest maps of the United States geological survey are on a scale of one mile to an Inch. These show Individual houses, every detail of roads, elevations, etc., but the maps are so large that they are useless for traveling by automobile. In this millionth map will be a boon to travelers. The scale will be large enough to show all the important features of the country and being all on the same scale, and with uniform symbols to represent physical features, a motorist of one country may travel easily In another and judge distances much better. "But more than all and above all. the uniform map of the world will stimulate the study of geography and will tend to bring the students of all countries closer together, giving them a common meeting ground, and eliminating misunderstandings which sometimes have been at the bottom of international difficulties."

WEEK MAY 8
FAMOUS PEACE AdD WAR ADVOCATES MET
Nation Needs Its Young Men Too Urgently to Waste Them, One Says. Cincinnati. May 6. M. Paul Henri Benjamin Balluet d'Esternelles, Baron de Constant de Rebecque: A man of peace. Colonel Robert Means Thompson of the Loyal Legion of New York, lieutenant in the U. S. Navy during the rebellion: A man of war. These were the two guests at the home of J. G. Schmidlapp on Grandin road, Wednesday, and while one of them came to Cincinnati to speak before the Manufacturers' club on the "Politics of Peace," the other came to speak before the Loyal Legion. And yet the men are friends. They became acquainted in New York, were glad to meet again in Cincinnati, and, of course, shook hands cordially. Col. Thompson would now be the senior admiral of the United States navy had he not resigned in 1873. "I believe in turning the other cheek, but if a fellow hits on that cheek also then I am for pitching in at him with a vengeance," said Colonel Thompson. "But in the end I think I agree with the baron that international peace is an end we should aim at." "I think the haze that hangs over these beautiful hills enhances the fascination of panarama," said the baron, as he looked over the Ohio river. "And what a fine child I love children," he said, as Mr. Schmidlapp's three-year-old grandson came along on his tricycle. He patted the child's head. "America needs her children too much to waste them in the carnage of war," he said. "They are needed now in the competition of trade, worldwide competition." The Baron is 59 years old, solidly built, simply clad and was distinguished by a big green scarf that he wrapped around him when he took his auto ride to Walnut Hills. To read he wears large black-rimmed glasses. He is an enthusiast for peace and not only began at once to convert the reporters to his cause, but was also glad to answer all questions "for the cause." "It is not good for a man that he should stand idle for years, as a member of a great army," said the baron. "The nation loses doubly by this process. It is bad for the man and bad for the country at large. The nation needs these men to plow and labor, and produce and take part in the great competition of trade. Supporting Supporting great idle armies costs millions, devours the substance of the people with no returning good. Let us spread the gospel of justice on earth among men, and then will come peace." "What do you think about the Mexican situation?" "I do not take a pessimistic view of It. It is more talk of agitators than anything else." "You are quoted as favoring woman suffrage. How about that?" "I believe woman's influence is of vast importance in our campaign of education for peace. She is naturally for peace, as she is naturally opposed to the excessive use of alcohol. And just as woman has done a great service against alcohol in America, she can do so against war. Whether women should vote depends upon conditions that exist in those places where the question of her voting is considered. I have met so many good women in America that it seems absurd to refuse them the right to vote. In other places where women are not ripe for the ballot, it would probably be unwise for them to have It." "The stupendous cost of the vast armaments maintained by modern nations and the increase of this cost promise to swap the nations financially, so that I believe the present military conditions can not last. We must try to change conditions gradually, not with one blow. We must have an evolution into world wide and permanent peace," said the baron earnestly. "You must put up with my poor English, until I make this plain to yon." His English was perfectly effective, and he is quite fluent in that language as well as a cumber of others. The baron Is a member of the French senate, and has held many positions in the French government's diplomatic service. He was formerly minister to Britain, has traveled and written much settled peacefully a number of difficulties and has been awarded the Nobel peace prize. He addressed the students of the University of Cincinnati Wednesday noon and spoke in the Queen City club In the evening. This is the time of the year to place the system on a new basis to cleanse the blood clear the brain and gather renewed energy. Nyal's Spring . Sarsaparllla will do it. Quigley Drug Stores.

No woman ever lived who has accomplished what Miss Oakley has, No woman ever braved the perils ( faced by this young woman on the plains as dauntlessly as any of the' daredevil cowboys who were her only companions. The Lion Lassoer. Almost as famous, although in an entirely different field of adventure, Is Ambrose Means, who followed former President Roosevelt into the dark continent As a guide Ambrose Means has earned the reputation of being the most daring hunter of the king of beasts who ever bagged a lion.

Buffalo Vernon and a score of other equally famous wild west performers. "Salome Jane's" Band. There is the wonderful wild west girl's band, known as "Salome Jane's Musicians," the famous Indiana chief Hawk Eye, who heads his own tribe, a great 'group of women broncho bus- j ters, and last, but not least, historical and stirring pictures of life on the plains in the early days. The attack on the ranch by a murderous and powerful band of Apachee Indians, an actual reproduction of "Shooting Up the Town" showing exactly how the cowboys welcomed Colonel Roosevelt on his recent trip through the west, beautiful tableaux of "Peace and War" and a hundred other features. Young Buffalo Wild West will appear In Richmond, Thursday, May 11, rain or shine. It will initiate its advent into this city by its great street parade. At the Murray. The bill at the Murray theater this week will be a good one. The major portion of the time allotted to the performance will be taken up by Rozell's Minstrels. The minstrel company has an elaborate stage setting and for a vaudeville company has a large number of players. Their program is replete with customary minstrel jokes and they are especially strong in their instrumental music numbers. Half a score or more solo numbers of popular songs are clever and well rendered, and encores are frequent. The opening scene exhibits the deck of the bat tleship New York, and the stunts of j the minstrel company are suggestive of naval environment, both in their scenes and costumes. During shifting scenes and the three-minute intermission the Four Harmony Kings delight their audience with their melodies produced in a manner similar to an anyil chorus. "A Glimpse of Dixieland," a dainty southern spectacle, introducing the southern melody "Way Down in Tennessee," produces the effect of a southern cotton field and a bunch of rollicking nigger cotton pickers go through some of their pranks and sing songs. The scene is a delightful one. The Waldo Brothers, Roman Ring Artists hold the stage for awhile and perform marvelous feats on the rings and in twisting their bodies. Their ac$ is a good one and the best of its kind seen her for a long time.

PREPARE GIRLS FOR LIFE'S EMERGENCIES
Spokane Minister Edits Manual Giving Girls Hints as to Woman's Duties. (Palladium Special) Spokane, Wash., May 6. Plans have been completed by Rev. David W. Ferry, pastor of Emmanuel Presbyter ian church of Spokane, founder of the Girl Guides of America, to organize patrols in several thousand cities, towns and hamlets of the United States and Canada within the next six months. The chief aim of the movement is to supplement In a material way the training of girls between the ages of 11 and IS years, for their particular sphere in life by inculcating womanly traits and refinement, with devotion to home and love of neatness and order and to lit them for emergencies. "Be Prepared" is the motto of the organization, the emblem being an uplifted torch signifying that the guide's action will always "be above reproach and will endeavor to be a guide to those in distress and light the patway of others to all that is good and noble. The manual, now in press, prepared by Mr. Ferry for free distribution to those interested in the movement, says: " 'Be Prepared in mind by having disciplined yourself to be obedient to every order, and also by having thought out beforehand any accident or situation that might occur, so that you know the right thing to do at the right moment and be willing to do it. Be Prepared' in body by making yourself strong and active and able to do the right thing at the right time and do It." Excerpts from Guide. The following excerpts from the Guide laws ev plain the purposes of the organization : "A guide's first duty is to her home. She will gladly forego pleasure of any kind for the sake of that duty. "A guide will endeavor to do a good turn to some one every day. In addition to being helpful in her own home she will visit the sick and help the poor and be ready to assist others at all times. "A guide will be honorable and trustworthy and woman-like in speech and behavior. "A guide will be simple and modest in dress, never wearing anything extravagant or extreme in fashion or material. "A guide will be respectful and obedient to her parents and teachers and officers. "A guide will be on the lookout for girls who are strangers, lonely, homesick or unhappy, and be ready to help them. 1 ' " ' i . ' , "9A guide must take at least a half hour's exercise every day, unless excused by the advice of a physicion. She will sleep and work in the open air as much as possible. "A guide will be . cheerful at all tiroes and under all circumstances and endeavor to carry cheer and sunshine wherever she goes." The plan of organization is similar to that of the Boy Scouts.

is composed of from six to eight girls, the officers being a leader, of at least 15 years of age, and an assistant. Two patrols form a company or troop under the leadership of a captain, who must be more than 1 years of age and hold a certificate of appointment from the national headquarters. The captain appoints a lieutenant, who must be over 18 years of age. The local council Is composed of company leaders and others interested in the work. The court of honor is formed by the captain and leader and assistant. There are three classes of Guides. Before being enrolled as an apprentice the "applicant must present a letter of consent from parent or guardian, understand the Guide laws, tie a bow, wrap a parcel, fold a dress correctly and take the following obligation : "I promise on my word of honor that I will endeavor to obey the Girl Guide laws at all times and that I will never willingly bring disgrace or dishonor on the Girl Guide society." An apprentice is required to pass these tests before becoming a second class guide: One month's service, elementary knowledge of first aid to the injured, lay and light a fire In a cook stove, using only dry wood and coal with not more than three matches; prepare and pack a simple luncheon: how to find and point the direction of the north star and know the 16 principal points of the compass; make an article of wearing apparel, and show a savings account of 50 cents. The qualifications of the first class
Guide are to sketch the outline of a tree, house or landscape, to name 10 wayside plants with the special uses or characteristics and recognize six trees or shrubs; to name and describe six birds; to describe the proper action in case of minor accidents and drowning, fire, escaping gas, poisoning, sunstroke and fainting; to know location of ambulance, fire and police stations and the quickest means to reach them; to prepare and serve a meal of at least three courses to four Burpee's Ford Hook Lawn Grass Seed AT HADLEVS GROCERY 1035 Main St.
