departed than a general fight began be- teen the two factions,” “Information from a British source” is Miblished in Athens to the effect that rimany and Austria are preparing to declare A the Greek Government that if the allies’ termes &re accepted and Salontki te made the base of military. operations by them, the central empires will be unats to continue to regard arreek territory as that of a friendly state. The German version of the fight In the Rumanian Parliament is given by the Overseas News Agency of Ber- lin ag follows: "The Ramanian Deputy, Mille, at- tempted to imterrupt the King's apeech before Parliament. He shout- e141, ‘Down with the Government.’ Im- mediately another Deputy slapped hie face while the whole assembly cheered the King enthusias After the session several save M. Mille a beating.” Austriang Admit Reverse. Official reports from Vienna and Rome confirm correspondents’ reports of the severity of the fighting for Gorizia. Vienna's reports are so worded that ob- servers in London believe the Austrians are preparing the public for their re- tirement from Gorizia. Archduke Jo- seph, Austrian commander, is reported to have described that theater of war as the “hell of battlefields.” Vienna's latest official account of tho . fighting says: “On the Italian front it becomes clear- er that the Italians will, at all costs, ferce a victory near Gorisia, if it is at all possible to do so. Yesterday their ° gttacks were directed against the entiro front from Tolmino to the sea and with special severity against both our bridge- heads and the northern part of the pla- teau of Doberdo. “The attacks against our mountain positions north of Tolmino collapsed, The bridgehead of Tolmino was kept under an incessant fire the whole of the afternoon. Three strong attacks against the northern sector and several weaker ones followed against the southern sec- “tor. All were repulsed with the sever- est of enemy losses. Several attacks against Plava also were unsuccessful, “Before the bridgehead of Gorizia very strong Italian forces gathered from all fronts of the enemy, yester- day attacked near Oslavia. We with- drew a little from a small portion of the front. “During the night Gorizia again was bombarded with some hundred fheils ot heavy caliber. In the*Doberdo sec- tor after four hours of artillery prep- aration the enemy began especially se- vere and stubborn attacks against Monte Ban Michele and the district of San Martino. Budapest Honved Regiment No, 1 sanguinarily repulsed eight strong attacks against Monte San Michele. San Martino was attacked three times and here the Nagy Carab Honved regiment No. 4 maintained its position in san- guinary hand-to-hand fighting. South- west of San Martino enemy attacks also were repulsed.” Rome announces that on the Carso plateau, after carrying some of the en- emy'’s trenches, the Italians have now reached to within a few score of yards of the hamlet of San Martino del Carso. The visit of War Secretary Kitchener to the Anzac region of the Galipoll front is described in a pres dispatch from Aiexandria, published on Lord Kitchen- er’a return to London. No announcement had been made in advance, except to members of the staff, but news of Earl Kitchener's landing spread rapidly. Sol- Glera rushed from their dugouts, tum- bling over one another in their haste to reach the beach, The moment Baril Kitchener stepped ashore there was a great outburst of cheering. ‘The- War Secretary spoke to the seldiers of King George's apprecia- tion of their services, saying they had ‘@one even better than had been ex- puties pected. . Lieutenant-General Birdwood, the tem- porary British commander at the Darda- nelies, accompanied Baril Kitchener on ah inapection of the British position. The War Secretary strode up the steep paths and along the firing line with y more effort than one of the young Colonels, being in splendid trim. cag frequently to speak with the im the trenches, heodless of danger.

The German Government was revealed yesterday as the mainspring of the movement to succor German cruisers at sean, by teetimony of Dr. Buens. Neo Sign of War. In the fall of 19138, Dr. Buens testified he received from the head office of the line in Hamburg a letter which notified him that his superior officers and the German Government had signed ana senled an agreement which would be come operative In time of war—of which there was not then a whieper—and that an abstract of this agreement would be gent shortly to the German Consul-Gen- ‘eral in New York, where he might see it. The letter then outlined the sailent )points, which were, as recalied by Dr. Buens, about ae follows: That the HMamburg-American § tine the wire, ‘‘Yes.’’ And then feeling that German ships were soon to be swept by allied war- ships from the sea, he set in motion the machinery to provide neutral ves- sels to carry his cargoes of coal and supplies to his compatriots afloat in the South Atlantic. RAILWAY LINES BROUGHT TO GERMAN FRONT IN SECTIONS Preparations Lead to Betlef That Riga-Dvinsk Road Willi Be Base for Move on Petrograd. PARIS, Dec., 1.~The remarkably. ef fective system of railways and tele graphs which the Germans have con- structed to connect with Field Marsha’ von Hindenburg’s forces along the Riga Dvinsk front is described by Charles Rivet, in a dispatch to the Temps from Petrograd. The railway lines are brought from the rear to the front in pleces, like childrep’s toys, and Immediately linked together. Thus a network of ratis ex- tends behind the entire front. At the same time, the Germans have construct ed three main tines from East Prussi«s to the Riga-Dyinsk sector. These lines have regular schedules and are open to the public. There also are electriv ‘tramways connecting the small villages, notably around Pontewesch. = eRe ARNE Le oR Ae nk 2 A | Want the Natig Convention—Becaiyf A xoow" It PaystoAdve fs .

It is no longer necessary for you to contend without treatment with disagreeable bladder and kindred disorders or be tortured with rheu- matism, stiff or swollen joints of the heart-wrenching miseries that fol- low as a result of neglected or poor- ly working kidneys. Solvax is de- signed to quickly and surely relieve such troubles. Solvax is a wonderful discovery that has always been so widely suc- cessful that every package is sold under a positive guarantee to refund the money if it does not relieve the worst case of kidney disorder. “Your money back if you want it,” is the way all the best drug- gists are selling this great kidney remedy. A ‘guarantee like that speaks eloquently for the merit of Solvax. Do not suffer another minute until you see if Solvax will not relieve you. If it doesn’t, tell the druggist that you want your money back and he will cheerfully refund it. Sold in St. Louis by Wolff-Wilson Drug Co., and other leading dealers.—ADV.

Government Contends Combina- tion Violates Sherman Law; Three Judges Sitting Here. a= ae The charge that the merger of the Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific in 1899 was brought about by the South- ern Pacific, to prevent the Central Pa- cific from passing into the ownership |of the Government, and becoming an ac- tual competitor, was made this after- 100n in the hearing of th. Government's suit to dissolve the merger. The case is being heardin th e Federal Court here, before Judges Sanborn, Hook and Carland, sitting as the United states District Court of Utah. Edward F. McClennen of Boston, as- sistant counsel for the Government, who made this charge, also said the South- ern Pacific took*over the $76,000,00 of common stock of the Central Pacific, giving for it $76,000,0W of the Southern Pacific common stock, and $16,000,000 in bonds beside, although in the previous year the Central Pacific had paid a dividend of only 4-5 of 1 per cent, and in nine yearg previous had paid no divi- dend. The Central Pacific line, from Ogden, Utah, to San Francisco, was completed in 1869, and was the first transcontiner'- tal line, and for 14 years the only one. it is now operated as part of the South- ern Pacific system, whose main line follows a southerly route from San Francisco to New Orleans. George W. Orr of Atchison, Kan., and McClennen, representing the Govern- ment, and the Southern Pacific is rep- resented by William F. Herrtn, its vice president and chief councel; J. P. Blair, general counsel, and Peter F, Dunne and Garret W. McEnerney, associate counsel. Julius Kruttechnitt in Court, Jullus Kruttschnitt, chairman of ‘the board of directors of the Southern Pac- cific, and William Sproule, president of the Southern Pacific were in court. The suit was filed in Salt Lake City Feb. 11,1914. It was the second step Ina campaign on the part of the Govern- ment to break up the unity of interest in the so-called Harriman lines. The first step was the Government’s attack on the merger of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific systems. This dissolution suit was heard in the Federal! Court here in 1911, and the merg- er was upheld by Judges Adams, Vande- vanter and Sanborn, Judge Hook dis- senting. The Government's ¢ounsel ap- pealed to the United Stateg Supreme Court, and the St. Louls decision was re- versed, Dec. 2, 1912, and the @isgsolution of the merger ordered. McClennen, for the Government, an- nounced at the opening that the Govern- ment would require the entire day for its argument, that the railway. attarneys also would want a day, and that‘ pos- sibly it would be necessary to continue the arguments on a third day. Two large wall maps of the Southern Pacitic system were in the courtroom, with the lines of the Sduthern Pacific and of the Central Pacific in colors. Before Santa Fe Was Competitor. McClennen, referring to these’ maps, said they did not show the railroad sit- uation as it existed in 1899, the year in whicn. he said, the Southern Pacific en- tered into its present relation to the Central Pacific, as the holder of the stock of the latter road. In that year, he said, the Southern and Central Pa- cific were the only outlets for tmaffic from California to the East, the Santa Fe, he said, not being then a practical competitor He said that, if restraint of commerce could be shown to have re- sulted from the merger of 1899, the Gov- ernment would be entitled to ask for a dissolution order. McClennen outlined the defense which he expects the railroads to make. He said the railréads would contend that the Southern and Central Pacific lines were not naturally competitive; that competition between the two lines was not restrained; that the two roads had not monopolized commerce: that they were built and extended as one proper- ty, and that the Government was estopped, in this case, by its conduct in the settlement of the Central Pacific $55,000,000 debt to the Government, in 1899, and was further estopped by the decree in the Union Pacific merger case. and by the statute of limitations. He then began to argue against these dif ferent contentions. Ross-Gould Removed toe 810 Olive “ft. Malling lists, facsimile letters, addressing SOCIETY Miss Gertrude 3 Leod, daughter of Mr. Nelson W.

BERLIN, via London, Dec. 1.~—The food question was touched on yesterday at the opening of the Reichstag in the address of the President, Dr. Johannes Kaempf, who said the hardships cause’l to a majority of the poorest population by the scarcity in certain lines would be overcome by the organization of the provision market. Dr. Kaempf said: “While in the West the enemy's at- tempt to break through, undertaken with strong forces, failed when confront- ed with the contempt of death of our troops and their commanders; while in the East the German and Austro-Hun- garian armies hold an tron grip on what they have won in battles which were boldly planned and heroically carriec out; while on the Isonzo the Italiana, by force of arms, are attempting to conquer the least part of what before the war they could have got from Aus- tria without striking a blow, in the Balkans feats of arms have been accom- plished and events have occurred which, from both a military and diplomatic point of view, have been carried through with splendid and unsurpassed certain- ty and which have enabled us in com- bination with our allies to avenge the murder of Sarajevo and to bring to an end, as we hope, for all time, Servian intrigues, which have proved to be so mischievous to Europe. Praise for Bulgarians. In close union of arms with the brave armies of the King of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian people we have crowned our victory. We welcome this from the bot- tom of our hearts. The Servian army has been triumphantly defeated. The Turkish army has ilved'up to its old reputation and has brought about the failure of the Dardanelles enterprise. “Proud England is troubled about the key to her supremacy. All our enemies have recognized that we are invincible on'the battlefield; so, the more eagerly do they cling to their hope to destroy us economically, to conquer us by hun- ger. As they allow themselves to be deceived regarding our financial strength, which has been proved by the astonishing results of our war loans, so they have been deceived in their esti- mate of economic strength. ‘“‘We have corn for bread. Potatoes, the most important food of the people, are abundant. If in other things there may be a scarcity, as cannot be dis- puted, yet the hardships thus caused to a majority of the poorest population will be surmounted by the organization of the provision market. We therefore financially and economically have every reason to contemplate the future with firm determination and unshaken confi- dence. Tax on War Profits. The Secretary of the imperial Treas- ury. Dr. Karl Helfferich, introduced a bill arranging the preliminaries for the taxation of war profits. The measure requires the setting aside of 50 per cent of extra profits to cover ultimate tax- ation. Dr. Helfferich urged ‘the speedy dis- cussion of the bill, so that no war prof- its could escape taxation and promised an actual measure -on the taxation of war profits for the next sitting of the Reichstag in March. He intimated that it would impose a graduated scale of taxation based on the amount of the war profits and also would Include a tax on incomes which had increased during the war, but he gave no indica. tion of the extent of the prospective tax. ation. The secretary said that the Govern- ment itself had as yet reported no circulation on the taxation rate and it obviously would be unfair to make it confiscatory, or regard the project, as some wish to do, as a punishment for daring to make profits during the war. rhe primary object of the measure was to raise revenue toward covering colos- eal expenditures of the-war and for this purpose a considerable percentage of war profits must and should pass into the Government's coffers. The bill was referred to a committee. The Reichstag adopted the final read- ing of the bill modifying certain features of martial law, giving the option of a fine instead of imprisonment for minor offenses. There was no debate, althourh the Sicialist members, Herr Scheidemann. announced that the Soctalists might taka up the question of certain abuses later in the session. There was no public reference to the subfect of peace terms during the day's session. Man, T7, Rem Down by Wagon.

How easy it is for me to give myself up to its peculiar beauties — and to produce won- derful pianoforte effects, too. ‘There on the roll in front of me I see a straight blue line whose position indicates for me the volume of tone. There on the same roll I see the wavy red Metrostyle line, and I know that I only have to follow it with the Metrostyle pointer to play in the most perfect time—to slow the music, perhaps, to an exquisite lingering quality, to quicken it, maybe, with sudden bursts of speed till the very spirit of the dance seems joyously to be a part of me, and I can almost see the dancer whirling arougd and snapping her scarf at the finish! ‘‘T am playing music so spirited, that even though I cannot play an ordinary pianoforte, I am performing with all the feeling, the music impulse of a skilled musician. simple lever. which real pianists give years of pedal study to attain; a simple cutting in the roll brings out the melody for me, and subordinates the bass accompaniment which comes with so thumping an emphasis in other player pianos.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. / Apropos of local censorship of motion pictures, ' the editorial contained in the issue of Nov. 1 could not have presented the facts more compre- - hensively than to reproduce:’Mayor Gaynor’s let- ter in which he expressed his reason for vetoeing the censorship bill which was proposed in New York City. . If the persons who are clamoring for local cen- sorship of motion pictures will delve into Mayor Gaynor’s letter upon that subject and analyze it thoroughly, they would stop making absurd statements and finding fault particularly with motion picture production. Why make the motion picture a target? Why inject the words “indecent,” “immoral,” “obscene,’ “libelous,” “impure,” “dirty” and other infamous adjectives in prating against motion picture pro- duction? Where are these alleged “obscene,” “indecent,” “libelous,” “immoral” and “dirty” film produc- tions being shown? Seek them out, citizen, and you are within your rights in demanding the ar- rest of the exhibitor and subsequent fine and pun- ishment for the presenting of said “immoral” pic- _ture—if you can prove it to be such. - . The motion picture production today occupies ‘a high position in the world of art, and it is rec- peanieee as one of the greatest mediums of ex- pression extant, and millions revel in ita whole- someness. Are these millions of people depraved ‘humans who have no sense of decency? Who do j not know what morality means? » Thanks to the Post-Dispatch for being fair and i juat! Thanks to our broad-minded American citi- pens for making the motion picture industry rank ‘as filth! Thanks to the little celluloid miniatures ‘for bringing the world before our very eyes! Thanks for the motion picture's contributions to ‘art, history, science, religion, mechanics, surgery, botany and the Lord only knows what! Thanks ‘to motion pictures for keeping millions out of the ) depths of iniquity! Thanks to it for bringing wages to many, many thousands, and rest assured ‘with all these thanks the motion picture will not -become a leperous institution! But no thanks to ‘those persons who are forever trying to place all j Senaity in the annals of Hagiology! “To the pure all things are pure.” EK. W. DUSTIN.

Why all this useless babble about a larger army navy and all that sort of silly rot, dontcher ow, when we have with use today Hennery Ford, ym Edison, Dick Bartholdt and Jane Addama, @ the good ship Oscar Ii? And on the other de a-waitin’ on the Rotterdam dock, our dear friend, old Doc Dumba? I would sug- thie battle hymn: b THE BANKERS’ FRISCO PLAN. While mileage representing about $61,000,000 has been eliminated from the Frisco system, com- pelling, of course, that amount to be subtracted from its former capitalization statement, the re- organization scheme increases the capital stand- ing against the remaining lines in the system. The form of some of the securities has been changed, but the total is estimated to be about $32,000,000 more than the total formerly borne by these lines. That $32,000,000 is, curiously enough, almost precisely the sum bankers have made out of the“boad in the past 10 years in the discounts and commissions and rebates allowed in the sale of Frisco securities. Why the reorganizers seriously bring forward such a plan is just now of greater interest than what the Public Service — are likely to do with it. Have all the repeated lessons on proper finance ecntained in the railroad history of the past de- cade been lost on these reorganizers? Do they figure that permission will be obtained to advance rates to an extent that will give value to the $32,000,000 in additional water? The Frisco has been classed with the New Haven and other systems as a railroad run to afford pickings for its bankers rather than earn- ings for its security holders. Perhaps it is fig- ured that the new plan for refinancing it will compel another reorganization six or eight years from now: with more pickings. James Speyer’s plea for speedy action while the financial situation is favorable is a little obscure. The contention that only the unfortunate holders of the common stock are required to put up any money was, of course, ex-parte, but analysis of the complicated plan seems to show a good deal of truth in it. The obligation of the bankers to put uy) money seems to be only contingent. That for all concerned—bankers, bond owners, stockholders—a road soundly and conservatively financed is better than a water-logged road strug- gling under huge burdens of capital, is the ex- perience of the years. And, of course, it is in- finitely better for the public. Whether the capitalization, already well wa- tered, of the lines remaining to the Frisco should be permitted to be fixed at even as much per mile as it has been in the past may be a question. But there is no question that it should not be permitted to be fixed at any more per mile than the amount in the past that led to bankruptcy. = ~~ ww A safety-first scheme for American powder manufactories seems to be more and more in demand. EAST ST. LOUIS AND OUB BRIDGE. That any misunderstanding should have arisen over the number of East St. Louisans to whom employment is to be given on the free bridge is most regretable. No municipal obligations de- mand closer fulfillment than those entered into between cities, which should be the more in- violate because they are not enforceable by legal means and depend on good faith and self-respect. This is a case in which St. Louis might justi- fiably lean backward. That is in dealing with its largest and most prosperous suburb, it could afford not merely to equal, but to exceed what it is obligated to do by promise. The wisdom of the pledge is not now in question. It is wheth- er St. Louis shall do what, according to East St. Louis’ understanding, it said it would do. i, i i a i ie NO MARRING OF THE PARK. The Post-Dispatch is gratified by the receipt of 4 letter from Walter L. Rathmann, secretary of the St. Louis Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, heartily approving our protest against any kind of monumental or architectural treatment of the Lindell entrance to Forest Park. He says that the attitude of the chapter has been misrepresented in this matter. Its resolu- tion does not indorse any scheme of this kind. Here is the resolution: The members of the Chapter deplore the publication in the public press, by city of- ficials of schemes of changes in City Plan conditions, no matter how meritorious they may be, before these schemes have been sub- mitted to the committees duly appointed to consider them, namely, the City Plan Com- mission and the Municipal Art Commission. The members of the Chapter refer particu- larly to the proposed change of the Lindell Boulevard Entrance to Forest Park, on which there is so much diversity of opinion, and which in the opinion of the members, tends to close the entrance to the park and in no way romedies the traffic congestion. With increasing opposition to any treatment of the Lindell entrance which will obscure the beauty of the park landscape our hope of a sound conclusion of the controversy over plans is strengthened. Public opinion will condemn the marring of the park. ~~ _ Chicago is a good town, but the records show that many have perished there from summer heat. = = = __ = DARING BRITISH SHIP PROPOSAL. England has commandeered 12,000,000 or more bushels of wheat in Canada, but can another re. port about her plans to keep down the high cost of living at home be true? Is she really going to commandeer a lot of ships to transport the wheat and escape robbery in high ocean-carrying charges exacted by private vessel interests? The mistress of the seas should consult with some of our stand-pat Senators. Doesn't she know that what she gains in the present by this plan will be of small consequence compared with the disaster she is inviting later? For the Govern. ment to operate vessels under lease or purchase is to rush headlong into ruinous experiment. 1 will put the Government in unfair competition with private vessel owners. It will destroy pri. vate initiative in the building of ships and the establishment of vessel lines. The commercia) bodies of England's coast cities should at once eaataitiatieeeme et uiating the shipping industry which is lacking in ten times as much money earned by private en- ergy and foresight in the ordinary course of the | legitimate navigation business. NATIONAL DEFENSE PLANS. The National Security League, at its Chicago conference, wisely refrained from adopting a spe- cific scheme of preparedness. It confined its action to an indorsement of the President's pur- pose of assuring a program of adequate defenses and urged congressional action to this end. ‘Its demands included: ' The complete publication of the recom- mendations of the army and navy staffs. The creation of a permanent counci/of na- tional defense. Provision for the immediate manning of ex- isting naval vessels and for the manning of each vessel put into commission. Raising the strength of the navy to a size adequate to the national defense and the fulfillment of national obligations. A mobile army of sufficient strength to re- pel any expeditionary force and its complete scientific equipment. - An ample reserve army and arrangements to secure and instruct sufficient officers, pro- vision for adequate ammunition and supplies, for Federal control of military resources and for an efficient national guard. Provision for the development of military aeronautics. Development of a national patriotic spirit which will inspire citizens to sacrifices for the defense of the country. This is a sensible propaganda. In effect it asks only for a sufficiency of trained men to call upon for defense and efficiency of equipment for suc- cessful warfare under modern conditions. In- isting upon sufficient trained men with mil- itary arms, equipment and resources of the best, equal to the needs of the army and navy, Is nothing more than insisting that lives and treas- ure shall not be vainly sacrificed.

LOUIS. OCRATES: Did any of you young men attend the park entrance hearing the other day? Glaucon: I think not. Was there something in our line there? : Socrates: I thought so. Without knowing what to say of the great difference of opinion with respect | to that matter, I thought I detected in the occasion what I am afraid is a growing tendency here. Glaucon: What is it? Socrates: It might be termed a cordial dislike to see anybody do anything. If I had not seen such con- firmed opponents of any new idea as Wackmanus present, I might not have gotten that impression. Anyway, I did get it. While there were no doubt “many persons present in sincere opposition to the Park Commissioner's plan on the score of what they think would be best for the city, there were as ob- viously present a good many of those whose business it is to see if they cannot pull down anyone who leads out in any particular. Polemarchus: You made no mistake there, Socrates. Socrates: Didn’t I? Well, I was not certain. One has to be mighty keen in psychic work of that kind, and I was not sure whether that note came out in the meeting or not. I was only afraid it did. It seemed to me that when some of those who opposed the idea spoke they were animated as much by fear that Mr. Cunliff, who is a young man, might do something Socrates: Since I have put two and two together, I fear I have. It is quite customary in certain circles to decry anything for which anyone else stands, and Ry gy GO, - — A aarti. tO gg ge cg On Me Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams much to define the trouble as to correct it. Buppose we agree that this is one of the things wrong with St. Louis, and resolve that wherever. anyone does lead off in some promising direction we will rally about him. Thrasymachus: An excellent idea. Socrates: If we don’t do that, the chances are we shall be caught up in the chase to pull him down, and we don’t want to contribute to that sort of thing. Glaucon: No. Socrates: Only this morning Adeimantus began belittling someone in St. Louis who is trying to do something. I said to him, ‘‘Don’t do that, Adeiman- tus. It is getting to be a community habit. I don't know what he is for, but if he is for something it is at least better than being against everything.’’ He resented that for a minute, and then thanked me for it. He said he had not realised until I spoke to him what a blight on enthusiasm he had become. Polemarchus: I think it is a thing into which we almost unconsciously slide. Socrates: No doubt. I wouldn’t say that people like Wackmanus and Kolkschneiderus are uncon- scious of their weight upon the community, but many people probably are. Glaucon: Strangely enough, too, we like to boast of what individuals do in St. Louis. Socrates: We may well boast of it, too. Certain- ly we make it hard enough. Thrasymachus: You said something then. Socrates: Thanks, Thrasymachus.

Walker. -— tlt NCE upon a time there was a tiny CO acorn lying in the soft earth in a forest. Just a tiny, yellow acorn that the wind blew off the branch when it shook the tree. Plump! It fell down on the sod and there it lay buried under the leaves with the snows above it for a covering during the long winter. Then at last spring came, the sun came out brightly and the ground felt warm as the little acorn nes- tled down in the roots of the grass. The gentile rains dripped down on it till it grew soft and swelled and swelled and swelled till at last it burst and a wee shoot of green peeped up through the soil. “How beautiful everything is!” whis- pered the little acorn. ‘So green and the sky so blue! How lovely, how tovely!’’ Just above the tiny acorn shoot was a tree full of big, white blossoms. They hung in great clusters of fleecy foam, the petals like snowflakes; and the sweetness from their perfume made the air as a rose garden. It was a locust tree in full bloom. “You say everything is beautiful?” said the locust tree. “That is true, but I am the moet beautiful of all. See my great bunches of feathery blossoms with their delicious odor.” HE timid little shoot looked meek- gE ly up at the big locust—yes, it was a magnificent tree. ‘“T am the sweetest and prettiest tree in the woods,” continued the proud lo- cust. “And pray, what use are you in the world?” The little shoot hung ite head. What could it do? Would it ever grow into a big, atrong, pretty tree? It did not know. Still it thought it would do its best and that was all one could do, “T am very smali,"’ it said, “and I do not yet know about what I will be able to do. But whatever is my duty that I will do to the best of my power.” Bo the tiny shoot grew and grew. The sun warmed it, the rain made the earth soft and the wind tossed it about to give it exercise. In winter it would begin to climb, and at last it was quite a big tree. “I see you are going to be something after all,” said the locist, jealously, “But you will nev rt get to look as pretty or be of use In the world like me.” “Maybe not,’ eang out the young oak «for it was now an oak—“but I am go- ing to do my best as long as I grow.” So it went on growing. The trunk went up straight, the bark got thick, the branches reached out wide and were covered with handsome leaves. The birds and squirrels seemed to love the friendly tree and made their homes in ite shade. UT the locust did not grow. It was K getting old and its scraggy limbs broke off and littered the ground. One day the farmer came tnto the woods with an ax. “This old locust never was any good,” he exclaimed, “All it did was to have : => 7” pedi tL : _ £ & : into tall casts that would hold sails and help the boats speed ov: the water; it would see far-off lands and strange people. It would race on through the suns and snows, over the dancing waves bearing great freights from one land to another. So the great, strong oak—the oak which had once been a wee, ‘tiny acorn, was glad and proud that at last, whe: | it had done its best, it was of use in the world.

SAVE YOUR HAIR A 2o CENT BOTTLE REMOVES DANDRUFF Every bit of dandruff disappears and hair stops coming out. Trythis! Your hair appears glossy, abundant, wavy and beautiful. Thig, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair if mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its luster, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die—then the hair falls out fast. A little Dander- ine tonight—now—any time—will surely save your hair. Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and after the first ap- plication your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wary and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance, an incomparable gloss and softness; but what will please you most will be after just a few pee nang are ed me ' antitoxin. Religion as an Antitoxin By Charlotte Perkins Gilman. a living body there are many in- genious. processes, subtly interre- lated, all working for the common to maintain the organ- N good, life Ism. When a poison appears in the sya- tem not sufficiently deadly to kill at once, the first ef- fort of. the organ- ism is to cast it out. Failing jn this, and the pol- son continuing,; the body mystertously generates an anti- toxin; sets a thief to catch a thief, as it were; and, by the use of such anti- dote, keeps on living. In case of direct wound the body has its healing processes, rebuilding tissue and bone as needed. In case of inju- rious pressure and friction -it hardens itself against them, developing insensl- tive callosities as they seem necessary. In case of ‘‘a foreign body’’—some alien substance lodged among the living tis- sues, the danger is sometimes overcome by “encysting” the intruder, building a hard little case around it. In case of continued invasion by the crowding hor- rors of death-dealing bacilli, or the reiterant appearance of any poison, the body’s best safety lies in generating the It. then becomes immune, and » bear its diseases without dying. Tre Social Body, that most vital or- ganism, practices all these arts with the same busy unconsciousness as shown by the physical body. The rebuilding of tissue is most visibly and constantly shown. No iobster can renew a lost leg as swiftly as we replace our outworn garments, rebuild our houses, repair our roads and bridges. Repair of social waste and social injury is as Visible and constant as the fresh building that marks social growth. The hardening process is equally visi- ble. ‘‘What can’t be cured must be en- dured,’’ and the endurance begets indif- ference. People who live in the city be- come ‘“‘hardened”’ to the noise, and peo- ple who live in the country to the si- lence. We use the same words, both “hardening’’ and becoming ‘‘callous,” whether the callosity be on the hands or the heart. NERVOUS BREAKDOWN =i Stamford, Conn., Nurse Tells How She Found Health. Stamford, Conn.—“I am a nurse and suffered from a nervous break- down. I had no appetite and could not sleep at night and nothing seemed to help me. By chance I heard of Vinol, and after taking the first bottle I noticed an improvement, and four bottles made me well and strong, it gave me a hearty appe- tite, so I can sleep soundly night or day. I consider Vinol a wonderful tonic.”“—-Edith R. Forbes, Stamford, Conn. The reason Vinol is so successful {fn overcoming such conditions is be- cause it is a constitutional remedy and goes to the seat of the trouble. It is the greatest strength creator we know—due to'the extractive medicl- nal elements of fresh cod livers without oll, combined with peptonate of iron and beef peptone, all dis- solved in a pyre medicinal wine. We have seen so many wonderful recoveries like this right here in St. Louls caused by Vinol, that we feel perfectly safe in offering to return money in every such case where Vinol fails to benefit. in ondence course in greas- ing.

WINTER picnic may be great fun. Ice and snow offer as many induce- ments for out-of-door sports as anything we have in surmmer. Two things, how- ever, are essential really to enjoy a winter picnic. The first is proper cloth- ing. Sweaters, woolen gloves and arc- tics are essentials. The second is the lunch. This should be much more sub- stantial than the summer fare. If pos- sible, have a good Gre and cook at least ene hot dish. Ham and eggs fried over a camp fire make a hearty lunch, and ‘f ar enameled ware frying pan is used it will be found easier to manage than the reavier tron variety.

Dear Sir: Jimmy Duffy, who has never been knocked down in his life. was hit back of the ear by Ted Lewis in Bos- ton just as the boxers were to shake hands and Lewis was credited with « knockout, although Jimmy was on his feet and ready to continue. Duffy was hit when he wes totally unprepared to defend himself. He had outstretched his right hand to shake with his opponent when Lewis took this advantage and, in- stead of shaking hands with Duffy. hit him a terrific emash under the left ear. Duffy stands ready to bet any part of $5000 that he can stop Lewis tn 10 rounds and while Jimmy hae already accepted terms for a return match. Lewis ie not so willing. The match, though, will probably be made in a few days, Anyene who knows the first thing about fighting will realize that a nho- torlously light hitter tike Lewis could never stop a tough fellow like Duffy un- lees it were under circumstances like the above.

High achool students interested in that sport, have taken up the cry tn favor of its adoption, and with the high school: campus unoccupied every. a there seems to be nothing that eh hinder the echolastic soccerites from forming a league. As the l basket- ball games are played on Saturday nights in this city, there are no athiet! contests for the “‘prep’’ athietic follow - ers to attend on Saturday mornings or afternoons. That the studente would take to the game is evinced by the fact that two ears ago when football was under tan at MeKinliey and Yeatman, those schoolea were represented by soccer elevens. Soldan has for the past few reasons had ciass teame while efforts are being made at Central now to a clasa league. Soccer ia not the only new branch of athietics that will be fostered by the high schools, this winter, judging by the general move now being made by the etudents toward an increase of the scope of high achool athletica. Last year when several individuals aé- vanced petitions for the adoption of sev- eral new sports, Prof. Herman F. Hoch stated that estudents could yg branch of athietice that they should there be an organized movement in favor of it. Thies season a student organisation of Central High School known aa “Pepper Box” ta taking the initiative to bring about the introduction noceer and golf and the reinetitution After continuigg practice for sev- eral days following the Central game, which was the scheduled close of the season, in the vain hope that the School Board would decide to allow the Englewood High Schol eleven of Chicago to play a post-season game here on Dec. 4, the McKinley High team, local “prep” champions, finally broke training for the season yes- terday. Arrangements had all but been completed to bring the Chicage “prep” champions, as Englewood claims that title, to St. Louls to meet McKinley in the event that the South Siders defeated Central for the local supremacy. A financial agreement had been reached and the game was to have been played this Saturday. However, after the Turkey day game Assistant Superintendent of Schools Bryan stated that the local school authorities thought it was inadvis- able to prolong the football season. Consequently negotiations were called off ang a message was sent yesterday to Englewood. Inasmuch as Haverhill! High School of Boston sought to bring the Chicagoans East ee a post-season gam prob- able e, it is that that contest will be played. Pikers May Play Illini. Should Michigan University fail to ac- cede to the request of Coach William Edmunds for a game with the Washing- ton University eleven next year, it will be the Illinois University team that the Pikers will meet.

Rowlands is a “green” fighter, and has much to learn. His judgment of distance is poor and, when hooking or swinging with elther hand, he drawa it back too far, and this en- abled Burke many times to shoot his glove inside and not only land a unch to the face, but effectively lock the oncoming hook or swing. This is a fault that is easily reme- die@ and when Rowlands has accom- plished this reform, he will be a reatly improved boxer and fighter, vecause he is a free swinger and the force of his blow comes right from the hip with no delayed action. Just now Rowlands is too aggressive for his own good. Comi straight at Burks as if he feared nothing the latter had, he was almost invariably coun- tered, jabbed or impaled on an uppercut. It was an instance of the latter sort that resulted in his going down for the count of five in the seventh round. He gamely staggered to his feet, but was wabbly when he sparred off to meet Burke's effort to finish the job. For- tunately for him, he managed to clinch and in the brief period which elapsed before he was obliged to let go he re- cuperated enough strength to fight back viciously. Then, in the midst of pandemonium caused by the shouts, cheers and shrieks of the spectators, the men engaged in a desperate rally while the timekeeper vainly rang the bell as a signal that the round had ended. Seconds of the boxers entered the ring and tore them apart, while an indignant spectator rushed to the ringside and de- manded to know if I had gone deaf. Fighting at Close Range, Both Men Suffer Severe Punishment, at Times A remarkable feature of the bout in the very beginning, and maintained to some extent throughout, was the close- ness with which the men stood to each other. Hardly an arm’s length away, they fiddied and feinted and picked off punches before they got fairly started. Neither seemed to fear the weight of the of the both As a resul hment they other’s blows, the line. : ' Occasionally Burke bexed with a carelessness that indicated a spirit of bravado, except that it is bard to believe that he would deliberately lay himself Hable to the punishment he received. fect.

Good Work Is one in Opurts St. Louis Middleweight Holds Back, in the Earlier Rounds of Future City Feature, but Cuts Loose for a , Knockdown in the Seventh. By Harry S. Sharpe, ee Referee for the Future City Athletic Club and the Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. F boxed as if he were holding something in reserve. It certainl OR several rounds of his bout with Len Rowlands of Milwaukee at the Future City Athletic Club, last night, Tom Burke of St. Louis y was not because he had reason to believe that he was so much Rowland’s superior, because the Milwaukee boy showed no fear and carried the battle to him every minute of the time. Nor was it because he could do no better, because later on in the bout he showed that he could. The only reasonable assumption is that Burke was husbanding his strength, be- cause he boxed like a man who was not sure of his condition. He fought in spurts, and boxed in relays. When he fought, he was fast and landed unishing punches. When he boxed, e was slower and landed light taps. At times he merely sparred, and con- tenteq himself with pushing his op- ponent away and blocking blows. For a man who expects to be matched with Al McCoy, self-styled middleweight champion, Burke acted like a boxer under wraps—either this, or he was pretending to something that a more seasoned fighter than his opponent of last night will dis- sipate in a hurry. Rurke outboxed and outhit Row- lands, it ia true; but in dotmg so he showed only flashes of the great Im- provement with which he has been credited. Milwaukee Man Lacks Finish. Rowlands is a “areen” fighter, and has much to learn. His judgment of distance is poor and, when hooking or swinging with elther hand, he draws it back too far, a this en- abled Burke many time o shoot his move inside and not only land a unch to the face, but effectively lock the oncoming hook or swing. This is a fault that is easily reme- died and when Rowlands has accom plished this reform, he will be a preety improved boxer and fighter, ecause he is a free swinger and the force of his blow comes right from the hip with no delayed action. Just now Rowlands its too aggressive for his own good. Coming straight at Burks as if he feared nothing the latter had, he was almost invariably coun- Decisions OM BURKE of St. Louis vs. Len Rowlands of Milwaukee, eight rounds at 158 pounds ring- side.—Burke the winner on points. HARRY KABAKOFF vs.‘‘Young”’ Jimmy Foley, both of St. Louis, eight rounds at 115 pounds.—Kaba- koff the winner; oley disquali- fied in elghth round fouling by butting.

Fighting at Close Range, Both Men Suffer Severe Punishment, at Times A remarkable feature of the bout in the very beginning, and maintained to some extent throughout, was the close- ness with which the men stood to each other. Hardly an arm’s length away, they fiddled and feinted and picked off punches before they got fairly started. Neither seemed to fear the weight of the other's blows. As a result, both of the boxers suffered some punishment they might have avoided, because some of the punches started at close quartera got by. Rowlands boxed at a very even it, setting a pace in the beginning that he maintained, except at such times as Burke saw fit to increase his, and then the Milwaukee boy was unable to hold the line. ° iH id Ev,g Occasionally Burke bexed with a carclesaness that indicated a epirit of bravade, except that tt is bard to believe that he would deliberately lay himself Hable to the punishment he received. t the ring an awa hand y and Burke wae very slow to respond, either in an effort to protect himself or to fight back.

Reported by St. Louis Merchants’ Exchange. a sypness city oweeeees nneapolis Toledo Chicago There was a strong market in wheat on the Merchants’ Exchange today. The Canadian Government's sezure of wheat was construed more bullish by traders. and in Chicago there was active buying to replace contracts represented by the Canadian wheat held by Chicago com- mission houses. The market closed ir- rewalarty off from the top level, but over Ic higher than yesterday's fi Referring to a market rumor that there was a political move back of tne seizure of wheat by the Canadian ernment, involving a concentrated shert interest that was unable to deliver its November sales, B. W. Snow of Bartiett- Frazier wired: “I have the following from a well-posted source in pny oy ‘“ ‘Replying to your question, say deci edly no. Everybody here entirely in the dark as to the Government's motive for the action. The latest explanation is that the Government early in the sea- son chartered for reasons not disclosed, 80} about 12,000,000 bu. lake and vcean space, and after delay in providing the wheat it had to jump in at the last minute to secure it. Cannot confirm absolutely that this is the real reason. Ex trade will be normal again in a day or 0.” + PS OS official Liverpool cable said: “The general undertone is firm with the market quiet. Manitoba offers are scarce and winters firmly held. Spot market is steady, but dull, unchanged to lower. Cargo market quiet with Manitobas and winters 3d lower. Platas are unchanged and Indians not ofered. The short interest in Manitoba is ap- parently satisfied for the moment and the trade is awatting further develo ments of the Ca n Government's action.
