The schools are in charge of the Sisters of Providence. Sister Louts Josephine is the Sister Superior and seven teachers are employed. Indianapolis.—Gov. Warren T. McCray went before his creditors and submitted to them a trust agreement whereby he offered to relinquish all interest in his personal property and real estate as satisfaction for the debts that have accumulated because of what he terms decreases in values of farms and live stock.

The agreement stipulated that the McCray homestead at Kentland shall be exempt from the transfer, the title to be vested in Mrs. McCray. Evansville.—A home for Catholic working girls and strangers will be established here soon by the Daughters of Isabella, an organization of Catholic women.

UTE DEPORTS DM DRAKE ADD TO ITS HORROR Dead Now Estimated at From 200,000 to 300,000. BATTLE TO CONQUER FAMINE ————— Food Supplies at Tokyo and Yokohama Held Inadequate—War Is Made on Profiteers—Roads Leading From Cities Are Filled With Helpless Refugees. I Washington, Sept. 10.—Each new report on the Japanese earthquake adds to the appallingness of the caI tastrophe and emphasizes its extent. The dead are now estimated at be- • tween 2U0.000 and 300,0U0 and the inI jured at 300,000 to 500,000. Over 316,000 homes were destroyed. This is the tenor of a joint statement issued by John Barton Payne, as chairman of the executive committee of the Red Cross, and Secretary Hoover. A survey of the needs of Japan has made necessary a renewed appeal to the Red Cross chapters and a redoubling of efforts to obtain funds, the statement declare*. The Red Cross executive committee spent all of the morning in conference with its staff on the problem of raising contributions to the maximum and pushing the purchase ami shipment of relief supplies. 80,000 Dead at Yokohama. The number of dead at Yokohama alone is now’ set at 80,000 in a radio dispatch received by the Navy department from Admiral Anderson of the Asiatic fleet, aboard his flagship, the Huron, which has arrived at that port. The Red Cross has collected $3,547,900 thus far. With the third relief vessel due to sail, and with five more loaded, the drain upon the facilities of the organization is increasing. Osaka, Sept. 8. —The police of Tokyo have reported that up to Saturday । morning inquests had been held on 32,564 bodies in the yard of the Honjo military clothing warehouse alone. According to the central meteorological station 1,039 shocks w’ere recorded from the first big shock on Saturday until Thursday morning at 6 o’clock. Danger of further serious shocks is considered to be over. Thousands of Dead Unburied. Departure of foreigners continues. Enough food is being distributed to prevent starvation. Foreigners have sufficient for a few days. Thousands of dead bodies are still lying unburied. Intense heat hinders salvage work. The water supply is good, but electric lighting is restricted. The latest report from Yokohama states that 200 foreign residents lost their lives. Charred corpses have been gathered temporarily on the site of the wrecked Grand hotel and will be taken later for burial to the foreign cemetery In Tokyo. Awaits Relief Ships. One week after its great disaster all Japan is watching the race of relief ships against plague and famine for control of her devastated areas. Simultaneously with the arrival at her ports of American ships bearing much needed, medical and food supplies, the nation was confronted with the disturbing whisper that evidences of cholera had appeared in the waste that was Yokohama. Details are lacking as yet, but careful medical supervision of arriving refugees has been inaugurated. It is considered probable that cases of cholera have occurred due to congestion in refugee centers. The Yokohama relief bureau is making every effort to break up hordes of refugees clustered in public parks and get them under canvas in sanitary police camps. Roderick Matheson, who reached Kobe, said that the foreign residential section of Yokohama was nothing but a mass of charred ruins and bodies. “Os 200 guests in the Grand hotel,”, said Matheson, “few were able to make their escape when the earth tremors began to rock the buildings. Many of the foreigners were lunching at the United club. This building collapsed and virtually every person in It lost his life. Hotels Crash to Earth. ”The Oriental Palace hotel literally sank into the earth and the guests had no chance for their lives. The majority of the houses on the bluff collapsed with the first tremendous shock. Frantic appeals for help were heard from the ruins, but only in a few instances was it possible to render assistance. “On the bluff overlooking the city the Court and Cherrymount hotels seemed to have been lifted from their foundations and hurled into the ruins below. The Bluff hotel tumbled over on the opposite side of the bluff." Refugees on Crippled Liner. Hongkong, Sept 8. —The Canadian Pacific steamship company agency kere received advices from rhe company’s Kobe agent that, after being fouled by two steamers as a result of the tidal wave following last Satur- I day's earthquake, the liner Empress , of Australia maneuvered to the out- ' side of the harbor at Yok.mama and ; anchored in a safe position at noon last Sunday. The message said the vessel had a j hard fight to reach safety, but gave no details. It was added that as soon ' COCKS AND GHOSTS In Norway a cock is taken In the boat which searches for the body of a I drowned person. The cock is expected ■ to crow when passing over the body. In Persia the crowing of a cock is the sign of some event affecting the ] family, and the master of the house hastens to feel the bird's feet. If they are cold it is a premonition of death, but If they are warm the sign Is propitious, and the master rejoices Ln coming good fortune.

as divers had been brought from Kobe and had cut away a cable with which the ship’s propeller had become entangled, she would proceed to Kobe to land a number of refugees that had been taken on board and to obtain provisions and fresh water. The vessel then will proceed to Vancouver, B. C. Japan Pushes Relief Work. Nagasaki, Sept. 8. —Relief in the earthquake zone is proceeding vigorously. The Tokyo government is preparing to extend funds from Its reserves without restriction for purchase of provisions. The entire stock of army and navy tents has been placed at the disposal of the homeless pending completion of barracks which are now under construction. Brinks have resumed business and are paying out sums not to exceed 100 yen to a person. The vice governor at the Bank of Japan has returned to Tokyo and announced resumption of business. The specie held in the head office, amounting to 1,050,000,000 yen, and the deposits amounting to 2,320,000,000 yen. are intact. District of Horror. Kobe, Sept. 8. —The horror district of Japan has become a land of pestilence. Plague, disease and famine have made their appearance in the stricken area, as reports of an outbreak of cholera, dysentery and yellow fever combined with an acute food shortage in and around Tokyo and Yokohama reach this city. In spite of temporary relief measures the food supply for millions of homeless in the disaster zone is wholly inadequate and stark famine threatens to add to the general horror. Water Polluted. Polluted well and river water —the only available supply for millions of fear-crazed people—is beginning to add to the death toll already claimed by earthquake, fire and an all-destroy-ing back wash from a convulsed sea. Tokyo and Yokohama, as well as scores of smaller cities and hundreds of villages and hamlets, are desolate piles of charred ruins tilled with dead. Transportation and communication throughout the empire continue virtually paralyzed. What telegraph wires are in operation are overcrowded with official business, and adequate transmission of news reports is out of the question. Scene of Desolation. I The country from twenty miles north of Tokyo to Kodzu, forty miles south, is a vast scene of desolation and ruin, wherein human life is no longer significant. Three-fourths of Tokyo Is a smoldering ruin, wherein thousands of earthquake and tire victims were trapped. City in Ruins in Six Hour*. Yokohama ceased to exist six hours after a titanic convulsion. Buildings collapsed instantly, roads writhed in billows, and cracks twenty feet wide swallowed up terror-stricken inhabitants who sought to run away from the scene. Beneath brick and tiles thousands lay blackened, while fire I was sweeping everything, preventing rescues. The harbor was a scene of wildest confusion, the seismic waves dashing liners together, crashing against the । concrete docks and hurtling the hulls in all directions. The Empress of Aus tralia and the Steel Navigator were fouled, the former losing its propeller. Harbor Swept by Blazing Oil. Burning oil swept the harbor, while I rescue work was being frantically pursued. Communications are broken, rail- ■ roads are twisted aimless, lines of steel and iron roads are split by | cracks, bridges and wires are down. American and British shipping at Yokohama led the relief, the Jester j son landing rice in care of the Sal ration army. Yokohama Is littered with dead and , ; the canals are filled. There are probably 200 foreign dead in Yokohama and none in Tokyo as far as can be ascertained. Banks Reopening. The principal banks in the stricken zone are reopening. The Bank of Japan came through the disaster with hardly any damage. The contents of the vaults of the Mitsui bank and of other large financial institations were saved. The Bank of Japan's gold reserve, • amounting to $100,000,000, is safe. All indications are that Japan’s banks are in excellent condition and are ready to give good service to the labors of reconstruction. The finance ministry Issued the moratorium proclamation in the form of an emergency imperial decree. The same form was given decrees forbidding profiteering and the circulation of false rumors detrimental to the in terests of the nation. One decree provides imprisonment for three years or a fine of 3,000 yen ($1,500) for any person profiteering in essential commodities. A tine of 3,000 yen or Imprisonment for ten years may be Imposed on anyone who spreads rumors in order to encourage rioting, damages property or dis turbs the peace. Little Word From Capital. Despite energetic measures taken by the government toward reconstruction. Tokyo remains virtually isolated. Only few messages are transmitted between the capital and Osaka, and these communications are delivered with great difficulty. From the Tokyo Central observa- | tory comes a reassurance that no anxiety need be felt as to sudden renewal of the earthquake. The shocks that have been recorded during the last few days are said to be “hangovers” from the earlier tremblors. j The observatory announces that the i movement of the earth has been gradually diminishing.

t Behind the ♦ ♦ Mask J By JANE OSBORN ♦ *+++4- ♦ ♦♦ ♦+♦♦♦♦♦ +♦ (©. 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) “Do you know anything about chemistry ?” “Dear me, no. I studied chemistry in college, but 1 barely passed. I didn’t know a stenographer had to understand chemistry.” The question was asked by the head of the Office Workers’ Employment agency and answered by Corinth । West the day she applied for a job. “Well, if you have had any chemistry at all you will do,” said the employment expert. “Over at the Stonington research laboratory they want a stenographer —wanted one that had had enough chemistry to know how to take down chemical formulas. A Miss Fisher was going. In fact they had taken her, but something happened and she’s let us know she can’t be there. So I’m anxious to send some J one over there right away. You’d I know how to take formulas —wouldn’t ! you?” “I guess I could manage.” “I hope so.” Corinth West agreed and arrangement was made that she should report at once for work. Then as she was leaving the office the woman at the ! desk called : “Just one thing. Your work is In the laboratory, you know. They’re making experiments with some sort of gases or something and you'll have to wear a mask. Sometimes the doctors don't bother. They just wear goggles. But it would be a shame to darken a nice complexion like yours. They’ll give you the mask when you : get there.” Corinth went to the laboratory, consulted the middle-aged woman who hud charge of employment, toltl her she was the new stenographer to work in the chemical laboratory, and was ' forthwith assigned to a locker In the । women's dressing room, given a mask and directed to one of the small labI oratories on the top floor. "You're to work with Doctor Poli lard.” she was told. That was the setting—a small lab- ( I oratory on the top flwr of the Ston- ! Ington foundation, a pretty, young | stenographer, with a mask that covered her from neck to the top of her fair hnlr, and a thirty-year-old doctor i In goggles, very much Interested in reI search work that would ultimately contribute to the relief of human suffering. ''l’m glad you won* the mask.” ex- j । plained the doctor when Corinth appeared. “You'll have to stick around. I while I’m working, to take down notes and to read the formulae for me. You might get a pretty bad sunburn. I’m i used to It and it doesn’t matter so ! ' murt< Funny. I thought your name ! was Fishrr or something like that —” “No, West- Corinth West,” said the i girl behind the mask. But she didn’t | explain that she was not the stenogI rnpher that had been Interviewed pre- । vimisly for the position but a substi- । tute chosen at rhe last minute. “And you know something about I chemistry. I’m glad of that.” said the , doctor and Corinth did not explain that of all subjeets in her college I course she had fared worst in chemistry. Corinth had a desk at one end of the labyratory and there she might 1 easily enough have removed her mask. ' i hut It was not easy to adjust rhe mask ; without some one to help and Corinth j did not want to have to ask the doctor for help. While lie was working at the other side of the laboratory he called to her frequently for help. Then he would give her quick dictation. mostly formulae, which Corinth managed to take down with perfect accuracy but which really meant nothing to her. Then he would ask her to read formulae to him as he worked, and Corinth surprised herself by being able to decipher the chemical abbreviations Giiickly and fluently. That much she had remembered from her freshmen course in chemistry. So they worked diligently, Corinth catching from the young doctor much of liis enthusiasm, though as a matter of fact he seldom took the trouble to explain what the experiments were all about. He seemed to take it for granted that she understood. Almost never were there interruptions, for there was little call for anyone to visit the laboratory. A laboratory boy came and went when the doctor rang for him to do certain perfunctory work, but this was not very often. So Corinth and the doctor became well acquainted—only Corinth felt that she was much better acquainted with him than he with her. for she knew the features of his face and he had never caught even a glimnse of hers. After the first day or so Corinth purposely tried never to appear unmasked. She knew that she w’as pretty, be-

HE KNEW WOMAN’S WEAKNESS

Burglar Took Mean Advantage When Fairly Cornered by Somewhat Elderly Miss Ann Teak. Miss Ann Teak was far past the first bloom of her maiden youth and she was singularly touchy about her age on this account. One night she heard a noise downstairs and, seizing a revolver which she always kept on hand beneath her pillow, she hastily threw on her dressing gown anO descended the stairs. Entering the dining room, she saw a man in the act of putting all her plate into a large sack. “Hands up I” she cried as she bravely faced him. “Don’t move an inch or two or 1 will blow your head off!" With L-is remark she dug him in the ribs with the nozzle of the shooti ing iron. , “Let me go,” whined the burglar. “I’ve a wife and six kiddies at home Starving." “Let them go to the workhouse, I

cause she had been assured of the fact so often and she was quite sure now that Doctor Pollard bad no idea that she was. He treated her with the sort of impersonal camaraderie that she had never experienced before in her friendship with men. She knew that this work of Doctor Pollard’s in the laboratory was of only a temporary nature. As the days passed sin. oegan to wonder whether the next task he would undertake would require a mask. She dreaded the day when he would face her unmasked. They would have to get acquainted all over again, she was sure. Or perhaps he would not even remain at the foundation. He was a man whose dei votion to science and humanity took him far afield in his studies. She was curious, yet she did not put her questions direct. Then one day In the third week he surprised her. “Would you go to China with me. Miss West?” Corinth gasped a little behind her mask and for a brief instant or so she thought that Doctor Pollard was proposing. for once one of her admirers tn college days had asked her whether she would go to South America with him byway of proposing. “To China—” repeated Corinth to gain time. How could he propose, she was asking herself, when he hadn’t even seen her face? “Why, yes,” said the doctor, not in the least embarrassed. “You see. I’ve about made up my mind to spend a few months there. I can’t make this Investigation complete unless I do. It would be a great help If you’d go along. I can work almost twice as fast with you on the job with me.” “Who else would go?” “No one,” said the doctor, peering at the mask in surprise. "Why should anyone else go? I rather had tills in mind when I asked them to give me a stenographer—an assistant like you. You see, it would be quite all right for us to go to China together—whereas, of course, ft would be out of the question to take a girl of twenty.” “I suppose so,” said Corinth, who was twenty-one, “and then it would be like going traveling with an old-maid aunt or something.” “Not quite like tha,t,” said Pollard, still without the least embarrassment. "But you know we never could have ! got so well acquainted; never could have got to be such good friends If you'd been a young girl. I'd have fallen in love with you or you would have been annoyed because I didn't You know how it is. But with you—why. we work together just like two men. That’s why I want you to go to ; Chinn with me. It’s quite a trip, and I could get some writing done If you | were along to take notes.” “I wouldn’t wear a mask.” Corinth laughed, with considerable embarrassment. “Perhaps you wouldn’t want ine । to go if you knew bow I looked.” Doctor Pollard became curious for : the first time to know how his assistant j looked. He was wondering whether she had some unsightly scar or deformity that prompted her remark and that had made her so insistent on keeping cn her mask. “It won’t make any difference to me,” said Pollard gallantly. “Perhaps you are oversensitive.” Cor nth West laughed, and on the impulse of the moment unfastened the straps that held the mask in place. Then she patted her hair a little and looked at Doctor Pollard In confusion. “Miss West J” be gasped. “Why, 1 thought you were fifty. I asked for i a woman past middle age who understood chemistry.” “I guess the other woman was. But she couldn't come, so they sent me,” said Corinth. "I'm sorry.” “Sorry that you are young and beautiful?" asked Doctor Pollard, coming close to her to look intently into what he felt sure was the most beautiful face be had ever seen. “Yes,” said Corinth, not flinching under the close regard. “I mean it. I’m sorry because if I were fifty and plain you'd want me to go to China with you. Now you’ll leave me—” The young doctor put two strong I hands cn Corinth's slight shoulders. “I ; understand now. I've been in love i with you all the time. I thought it I was just friendship. It’s come over ;me now. And you will go to China with me?” Corinth nodded her head in u weak little affirmative. “You shall,” said the doctor, “but you must go us my wife as well as my co-worker.” Deaf and Dumb Language Old. Signs used by the deaf and dumb, apparently, are a part of the native language of the Swazis, when communicating with each other on their journeys or forays. A number of the signs In general use among the deaf are distinctly traceable to the North American Indians, and it is probable that further inquiry would establish a common origin for most of the expressive signs by which the deaf “talk” or "listen.”

then," replied Miss Teak. “I'm going i to ring for the police.” “Stop,” said the desperate man; “if you charge me at the police court you will have to disclose your real age." She fell back. “Wretch!" she shrieked “The door is behind you. Begone!” — London Tit-Bits. Long-Lost Ring. Three years ago a woman lost her diamond engagement ring on rhe sands at Frinton. Essex. The local police were notified at the time, hut nothing was heard of the ring until a few weeks ago, when she was informed by the Clacton police that it had been found on Frinton sands.
