far too much reasons to think that the
Christian nations are interested chiefly
in getting; his money. In Involving him

one message—the message of Jesus.
It is the message of salvation, of world

THE TEST OF FRIENDSHIP
j What is it to be loyal to a friend?
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.

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

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.—
