The missionaries have one message—the message of Jesus. It is the message of salvation, of world brotherhood, of world co-operation, not of world competition.

It is willingness to give up for that i friend something that we ourselves want. We sometimes give our cast off clothing, or a bauble of which we have become tired, to the poor or to |an acquaintance. It is charity, it is charity. It Is often not a sembance of real sacrifice of real love. Great giving ' always involves the parting with that which is dear to us. The father knows It when he takes voluntarily the hard earned savings of a lifetime and spends what might make his old ago comfortable and free from care on the education of a son or a daugh ter. It is the divestiture of a thing we want for the sake of another—this is the proof of real affection.—The Christian Herald.

BETTY NANSEN, THE ROYAL ACTRESS AT THE COLONIAL TODAY IHR k JHHI BETTY NANSEN DISCUSSES FLORIA LA TOSCA Betty Nansen appears at the Colonial Theater to-day In her latest William Fox pliotoilrama, "The Song of Hate," based .upon Victorlen Sardou'B world known "La Tosea." Speaking: of the character of Florla in a recent interview, Miss Nansen said: •'Floria is not a creature of impulse, driven by every passing wave of pas sion or inclination. She is a true woman with the heart and instincts of her sex. But she is brave enough, when a deep love possesses her soul, to give herself over to it, regardless of what the world may say. Faced by the most trying climax that can arise in a woman's life, when her very soul is placed upon the rack of self-sacrifice, the metal of her heart rings true. At the cost of her honor, she still holds to her great love and even at the last hour, when the dark shadows of fate envelop her. her woman's nobler nature saves bel iever from a fearful fate. Floria La Tosca is the most interesting part I have ever played. 1 created the character at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen, at the special request of the author." "The Song of Hate" is in six parts and is proving one of the biggest drawing cards that the Colonial has ever presented. —Adv. SHIPPING BREAD AND BULLETS To the plain mind it is a little diffi cult to justify the simultaneous dis patch to Mexico of food and car tridges, of surgical instruments and lethal tools, of proclamations demand ing peace and trainloads of Mausers with which to continue war. Affairs in Mexico are really pretty bad. Since the night of February 22, 1913, when President Madero and Vice-President Pino Suarez were taken from the national palace and assassi nated by Victoriano Huerta in the darkness back of the penitentiary, there has been nothing entitled to be looked upon as a government. Half a hundred bandit chiefs have been wres tling in a bloody struggle which has swept from Sonora to Yucatan. The miseries of the ravaged country can hardly be described. Anarchy is a word easily spoken, but as an s. ual state of things very hard to really im agine; it Is. however, the condition in which thirteen million Mexican men. women and children have been living for many months. Starvation is a thing impossible, really, In the midst of orderly civilization, to bring the mind to conceive; but there is starva tion in Mexico. Life grows cheap as we go toward the Equator, and a few score thousand killings may be no great matter down | that way. The nerves of the Mexican peon are not exquisite: a Yaoul or Zapoteean boy-soldier of fourteen or fifteen will sit on his blanket and smoke a corn-liusk clgaret while his torso is probed for a bullet. The crip ples and the blind whom one sees by the cityful nowadays down there are not perhaps acutely conscious of their misery. Tn the best of times twelve of Mexico's millions have never any too much store for the pot. Yet when the frijoles and the tortillas utterly fall, nnd there is nothing but a cactus apple and salt to boll in the olla, when the fields stretch for miles in aban doned aridity, and the peons crouch in the ruins of their huts, hiding from the daily raiders—why. It really seems to the plain mind hardly worth while to attempt to help the afflicted popu lation otherwise than by declining to furnish further tools of affliction.— The Christian Herald. BUYING ELIJAH'S AI/TAR Obadiah hid "one hundred of the Lord's pronhets in a cave." On the west end of Carmel. below the monas tery, is a large cavern, partly arti ficial. where, to Increase its sanctity, the Holy Family are said to have re nosed on their return from Egypt. The "Place of Sacrifice" is some eight miles Inland along the crest of the mountain, overlooking the Kishon, the whole plain of Esdraelon. .Tezreel and the mountains of Galilee. Many churches and nationalities, not to men tion individuals, have searched the slopes of Carmel for the exact spot when Elijah "renaired the altar of the Lord," selecting twelve stones from the ruins of the neglected altar. At the urgent request of an English lady, who thought of purchasing the site, I once made a careful ntudy of the loca tion suggested. While we may never know the exact spot, there is a lovely little plateau not far from the summit which would fulfill every necessity of the narrative and provide a matchless natural theater for this matchless event in history.— The Christ ian Herald. DIGGING UP A'HAH'S PALACE The ruins of Samaria are now a perfect fountain of stones which have been poured down the surrounding slopes of the hill, from which rise hundreds of the stumps of columns marking the lines of ancient streets and colonnades. A new carriage road crosses the southern slope and a rail road almost encircles it, both leading from the plain of Esdraelon to She 'hem. An American exploration so ciety has actually bought the hill and has been making excavations which promise most interesting and valuable results. The foundation of what seems to have been Ahab's palace has been laid bare along with many later struc tures.—The Christian HeraM pillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllflllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllljllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll^ The Spread of the "Wharton School Idea" Most young men realize that this is the age of the trained man.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKB MANNING TELLS HOW RIVER CAN BE IMPROVED FOR PLEASURE WATER CRAFT Big Channel to Rockville Bridge Problem of the Future Which Will Be Taken Up by Planning Commission In his recent report to the City Planning Commission some interesting features of the Susquehanna basin are discussed by Warren H. Manning, of Boston, the city's landscape architect. He has made a careful survey of the West Shore conditions and reaches the conclusion that "it is not practicable to maintain channel on the westerly side of the main island; because | all natural channels are constantly ] changing, due to the ever-shifting sand and coal deposits: second, because the | stone is so near the surface that even with the dam in service it would be difficult to operate near the shore without much blasting to open a chan nel and frequent dredging to keep it open. There is a long line of rock ex tending across the river between the bridges that is fully exposed in low water on this westerly side. If re moved, it might tend to secure a freer flow of water through this side and carry much of the sand and coal to lower points in the river. This is the only suggestion that I have received from the experienced rivermen that might lead to a change in conditions here. There is a general consensus of opinion that the islands along the westerly shore are increasing in size, there being a distinct tendency toward the making of larger deposits tn re cent years. Mr. Berrier states that last year there was a deposit of per haps six or seven acres, much of which was two feet above the surface at the upper end of Independence Island. This year the greater part of that has been carried out, leaving in many places a dentil of two feet of water." 180 in Coal Meets In much of the area west of Fors ter's Island the rock outcrops near the j surface, and the changes in the cur j i-ent are frequent. Mr. Manning found I in the sand and coal business there I are about six operators above the dam that have in the aggregate about 150 I flats and 30 steain boats and pumps. : These flats average about 50 tons per day, with a maximum of about 150 | tons and a minimum of about 35 tons, | and they are in operation for about seven months in average good seasons. I vast year was an unusually favorable season and they were operated eleven months. It is the opinion of a fleet captain that over 100,000 tons of coal are taken out per year, and probably TO.OOO tons of sand. He states also that not over a third of the coal that is pumped up is saved and that not over a third of all the deposits in the river are secured. 500 Canoes and Water Craft Mr. Manning says there are about 500 canoes, rowboats and motorboats now used in the river basin. Tt is the ooinion of several people who are familiar with conditions that this nitmher of craft will be increased at. lfast three times over in the next two yea rs. The channel for pleasure boating should bo on the eastern side of the river and should not be less than 50 feet wide nor less than 2 feet deep, in the opinion of Mr. Berrier. It would be much better if it could be made 100 feet wide. This is confirmed by other experienced river men. Mr. Hippie would have the channel at least 100 feet wide and 4 feet deep. Boating to Rockville On the easterly side of the river the present channel is a somewhat crooked one, being off shore by a distance varying from 275 feet io 50 feet. This channel extends from about Maclay street up to the ferry wire on the easterly side of McCormick's Island. Above the ferry wire the water is deep enough for pleasure craft over much of the surface as far up aa McAlister's Falls. These falls are made by a comparatively narrow ridge of rock, through which a channel • could be made to provide boating up to the Rockville bridge. Below Ma clay street the dam gives sufficient water for boating over much of the area that lies east of Forster's (filter strtion) Island. There are a few points of rock, however, that ought to be taken out within this area and a ridge of loose rock over the lines of the water pipes from Forster's Island to the pumping station. The rivermen say that the dam is a very great, help to theni in the transportation of coal over all this section and they believe that it ought to have been three feet higher to have made good water for boating to McCormick's Island with out the necessity of constructing chan nels. The Conodoguinet creek Is an ex ceedingly attractive place for canoe ing, with a reach of good water about five miles above the second dam. It is expected that the City Plan ning Commission will make the survey for the proposed channel through the reefs at Maclay street this Fall. Discovery Enables Any One to Have Curly Hair Quite accidentally some one made the discovery that the application of or dinary liquid sllmerine would actually turn straight hair curly and wavy In a few hours. She told her friends about ! It, who In turn told others and now thousands of women have protlted by j the informatioh. The simplicity and harmlessness of this method, and the 1 way the hair dries in such pretty curls ■ anderinkles, will appeal to any one I who tries it. The favorite way Is to apply the sll merine with a clean tooth brush be fore retiring. The effect upon arising is quite surprising, the curliness hav ing such a natural appearance and the hair being so bright and lustrous. Par ticularly will this be appreciated by the habitual user of the despoiling waving iron—which, happily, can now he dis carded. The liquid silmerlne, which can of course be obtained from any drug i gist, is neither sticky nor greasy. A , few ounces will keep the hair curly I for many weeks.—Mirror of Fashion.— Advertisement.
