GERMANY IS AFTER SUPREMECY OF AIR iMaking Desperate Efforts Not to Be Left Too Far Behind by France.

(National News Association) BERLIN, May 11. Germany is makIlng desperate efforts not to be left too far behind in the race for military supremacy of the air, in which France at present leads by a goodly 'number of lengths. Money is not as plentiful here as it is in wealthy Prance, but during the last six weeks .about $125,000 has been collected for military airships and aeroplanes. Of this amount, the little kingdom of i Saxony encouraged by King Frederick's example has contributed $35,000. The cities of Mannheim and Heidelberg gave $3,000 and $2,500 respectively on the first day the subscription list was opened. No Sarah Bernhardt has fascinated the audience with the charm of her. golden voice, but the ladies of Dresden have organized a ball in aid of the fund which is certain to be a great success, for patriotism and frivolity in combination is irresistible. The National Fund is under the patronage of Prince Henry of Prussia, Count von Posadowsky-Whener, formerly minister of the interior, and now an independent member of the Reichstag, is president of the committee, and Herr Mandlssohn, the banker, is treasurer. Some of the most distinguished names in Germany appear on the list of the committee, among them Dr. Kampf, president of the Reichstag, several royal Princes, and the more prominent Jewish financiers. It is noticeable that the semi-official "Nordeutsche Allagemeine Zietung" prints the committee's appeal in place of its leading article. The committee has adopted the motto: "For the people, through the people," and the movement appears likely to be very popular. ' As evidence of the progress of the German flying industry has made in a brief two years, it is proudly announced by the newspapers that "the world's largest aeroplane factory" is about to begin operations at Johannisthal. It is the works of the Albatross company. It will employ 400 ;hands and have an output capacity of ten to twelve machines a month. ;That, it is claimed, is an unapproachable "world's record." One o fthe few" plays just now "worth seeing in Berlin is the "Fuenf Frankfuerter" at the "Koenniggraetzer street theater. The scene is llald In Frankfuert-am-Main a hundred years ago, and the five Frankfuerters are the five b rothers Rothchoild, the founders of the famous banking firm. The five brothers come together from the varoius cauitals, where t hey represent the firm to discuss the financial situation of a reigning prince, one of the bank's clients. One of the brothers propses to solve the problem of the prince's affairs by marrying the prince to his daughter. The Prince, who has accidentally met the girl at a watering place, is willing, but not so the young lady, who is in love with the youngest of her uncles, marriage with whom is not forbidden by Jewish law. The inclination of the heroine makes the play somewhat strange and unsympathetic to the American spectator, but, of course In no way shocks the sensibilities of Berlin Jews, who form a large percentage of the audience. There are one or two amusing characters and the acting is excellent, but the play has perhaps its chief charm, in the successful reproduction of the old world atmosphere. J Nowhere is the cinematograph more popular than in Germany. Here, in Berlin there are vast nubm ersffr Berlin there are vast numbers of picture theaters. In the west end they are exceedingly elegant, and elaborate FACTORY GIRL GIVES IIP Too Sick to Work Doctor Advised Operation. Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound. Ponghkeepeie, N. Y. "I ran a sewing machine in a large factory and got ail run down. I had to give up work for I could not stand the pains in my back. The doctor said I needed an operation for female trouble but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound helped me more than the doctors did. I hope that every one who is suffering will get the Compound. My pains, nervousness and backache are gone and I have gained five pounds.

When a remedy has lived for over thirty years, steadily growing in popularity and influence, and thousands upon thousands of women declare they owe their very lives to it, is it not reasonable to believe that it is an article of great tnerit?

All You Need is a Cascaret Tonight

No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach. Coated Tongue or Constipated Bowels by Morning. Turn the rascals out the headache, the biliousness, the Indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gases turn them out tonight and keep them out with Cascarets. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret row and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stomach. Don't put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse and regulate your stomach; remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and that misery-making gas; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out of the system all the decomposed waste matter and poison in the intestines and bowels. Then you will feel great. A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head and cheerfulness for months. Children love to take Cascarets because they taste good nevtr gripe or sicken. picture plays, historical, modern, tragic, amusing, are announced. People ask one if one has been to see "Dante," a specially beautiful picture piece, just as they inquire whether one has seen Offenbachs "La Belle Helene," the most popular comic opera now running in Berlin, at the Theatre des Westerns. Great actresses receive enormous fees for acting to the cinometograph photographer. Count Gisbert Wolff- Metternich, of gambling case fame, and his wife, one of the most charming actresses in Germany, received $10,000 the other day for starring in a cinematograph play. Provincial theaters are being ruined by the competition of the "Light Theater," as Germans often call it. Now the educational authorities are taking a leaf out of the entertainer's book. The cinematograph has already been successfully used in one ! of Berlin's technical institutes, and the experiment of teaching by this method has now been tried with the happiest results in elementary school. The capital of the Empire, has not, however, the honor of initiating this departure. The first German school to use the cinematograph is the Volksschule of Zella Sankt Blasii, in Thuringia. The local authorities have installed apparataus and purchased films, and the delighted children are being taught geography and history in a class-room which has become a picture theater. People probably punish their children in Zell Sankt Blasii by keeping them home from school on cinematograph days. A domestic tragedy is reported from Klautau, in Bohemia, where a father killed his two children in a fit of rage. A farmer named Tserne returned from market, where he had sold three onxe. He placed the money on the table, and it seems that during a brief absence from the room his son of three and a girl of four played with the banknotes, cutting them with scissors into small bits. The infuriated father killed both with a bread knife. The wife, on returning from the field, found the bodies of the children lying beside the table on which the I bits of banknotes were scatatered, and her husband hanging from a tree in the courtyard. Poor appetite is a sure sign of impaired digestion. A few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets will strengthen your digestion and improve your appetite. Thousands have been benefited by taking these Tablets. Sold by all dealers. Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. At The Murray Vaudeville afternoon and night. The Coliseum. May 23rd and 24th Richmond May Music Festival. Odiva Coming. Fishes have nothing on Odiva, the Samoan Diving Queen who will appear at the Murray theater next week. In fact there are several highly colored gold fish in the tank in which this modern mermaid swims and dives and they seem to envy her sport. In her swimming and other parts of her act, Odiva, rightly called the "Water Nymph," is the perfection of grace. She dives from different heights in the wings into the glass tank, which rests on the stage in full view of the audience, as beautifully as any gull glides to the water. Odlva's act is wonderfully interesting. It is a whole show in itself and everything is so nicely done that one wonders how it is that everybody in the .world can't swim. Her feats under water, all of which may be plainly seen by the audience, are nothing short of marvelous, with the result that Odiva's performance is, and for three years has been, one of the biggest headliners on the Keith circuit. Special attention is called to the fact that during "Odiva Week" tickets sold for the first show at night will be good for that performance only. The theater will be emptied after the first show in order to accommodate the patrons unable to secure admission to the first show. This is necessary owing to the tremendous demand for seats and the limited seating capacity of the Murray. All members of Richmond - Circle No. 10, U. A. O. D., are requested to be present tonight at Druid's Hall to meet the Grand officers.

CARL MORRIS WILL SING AT FESTIVAL

TO

The appearance of Carl Morris as one of the soloists next week at the May Festival is attended with much interest since this gifted young musician who is known as one of the leading oratorio and operatic singers of the country is a native of Indiana, and has visited in Richmond where he has many friends. "Cooper Union was thronged to the doors last night," says a New York paper, "to hear the concert provided by the Kneisel Quartet and Carl Morris, baritone. Mr. Morris sang three old-time Arias with fine distinction, very musical tone production and exemplary enunciation, and achieved especially noteworthy results in the Handel lyric, 'Where'er You Walk. " When Ice Covered Europe. During the long tertiary epoch, when opossums disported themselves on the site of Paris and mastodons tramped along the valley of the Thames, the earth was in the throes of mountain making. The Alps, the Himalayas, the Alleghenies. the Andes, attest the power of her activity in those days. At their termination our continents stood greatly higher than they do now, and this aided their glaciation. although it does not fully account for it. But as they became loaded with ice Europe and America gradually and we may venture to say contemporaneously sank. This was inevitable. Owing to the extreme heat and pressure prevailing in its interior the earth is an eminently elastic body. Its surface actually bulges in or out with a very slight increase or decrease of the load upon it. Children's Prattle. At times it cannot be denied the questions of children become irksome, but who would wish a child to ask no questions? Julius Sturm tells In one of his pretty fairy tales how a grandfather, driven Into impatience by the constant questionings of his grandchild, exclaimed, "I wish your tongue were out of joint!" But when unexpectedly his wish was fulfilled and the child became dumb how he joyfully exchanged one of the two years which an angel had prophesied he was yet to live for the privilege of. hearing the little one's prattle again I Exchange.

McKini writes: "It seems to me as I look back that I one of the things which stood out j strongly in the Confederate army was the independence and the initiative of ; the individual soldier. It would have j been a better army in the field If it had been welded together by a stricter discipline, but this defect was largely atoned for by the strong individuality of the units in the column. It was not i easy to demoralize a body composed of ! men who thought and acted in a spirit ! of independence In battle, j "As an illustration of the spirit of j the private soldier I recall an incident to this effect. Major General Gordon had organized a strong column to make a night attack on Grant's lines at Petersburg. When he was ready to move and the order to advance was given a Big Texan stepped out of the ranks and said: " 'General Gordon, this column can't move before 1 a. m. The men have a truce -with the Yanks, and it ain't up till 1 o'clock.' "The column did not move till that hour. The private In the ranks had taken command, and the major general recognized his authority."

HUMAN SKULL PUZZLE. . j A Cavity That May Have Been the 1 Seat of a Sixth Sense. Despite the i-rogress of. physiology the study of the human body is full of mystery. Some of its well known . organs have never revealed either

their uses or the reason of their crea tion. The part played by the spleen ! in hnman life was discovered but re- j cenrty. It Is now rojrarded as one of the principal agents in the circulation j of the blood. But there are in tti ! marvelous human organism mysterious purts which it is possible that no savant, however profound his learning, may ever understand. For j instance, in the skull, behind the car- i tilage of the nose, there is a little j cavity of unknown origin. Fhyslolo- i gists believe that at one time several thousand generations ago it containe.1 a glnnd consisting of two lobes joined by their common base. This cavity the d.lta turcica is. In the opinion of certain savants, the vestige of a sixth sense which was of great use to the antediluvian ancestors of man. It is believed that this little gland enabled them to see In the darkness w hen they had not yet learn ed the secret of procuring light: that j it was the neat of the mysterious sense of situation or locality, the pow- i er to orient their course, the snse so J highly developed to this day in sav- I ages and certain animals. The theory Is plausible, but it is doubtful whether man will ever acquire any real knowledge of the reason for the existence of the delta turcica. Exchange.
