20 PENNIES WILL BUILD SCHOOLS Little Folks of the Methodist Churches to Aid in Cen tenary Program Baltimore, April 30.—Five million Sunday school children in Methodist churches throughout the United States constitute u vital force in a far-reaching program to rebuild and evangelize the world. By contribu tions of a penny a week, millions of dollars are to be contributed by the children to build schools, orphanages, hospitals and churches for children in all parts of the world. The centenary survey of ihe Meth odist Kpiscopal Church indicates that the children will contribute 1,300,000,- 000 pennies in a period of live years for these worthy undertakings. The Methodist Sunday school schol ar has a definite Idea of his or her .lob and can be depended upon to do their share in the world-wide relief program. The Methodist Sunday school children, therefore, will con tribute about $10,000,000 to the fund of $105,000,000 called for by the cen tenary ptograni. The huge pile of pennies thus to bet • ontributed will help 16,000,000 chil dren in China. 35,000,000 children in India, besides 20,000,000 children in Africa, who need schools, hospitals' and missions.

The attitude of the Republican .Senators will be decided upon at a party conference i" be held prior to the convening of Congress. Until this conference, the Republican mem bers were advised in telegrams sent out by Senators Bodge, of Massa chusetts, floor leader, arid Curtis, of Kansas, whip, to withhold linal ex pression of opinion. Senator Lodge, who also will be chairman of the Foreign Relations | Committee of the next Senate, gave the llrts intimation of his opinion in the following statement: "I am not prepared to make a statement in regard to the now draft at this moment, because 1 desire to examine it carefully and compare it with the former draft and also to confer with my colleagues, for it is < bvious that it will require further amendments if it is to promote peace and not endanger certain rights of the United States which should neve.* I bo placed in jeopardy."

ITtOPKI.I.KR !> PLANK I'ROIII.IDI I The whole truth concerning our Del uivilund—l war airplane probably i never will be published in u popular [magazine. NY hen a government learns ! technical questions through bitter ex-, perienee it soflietimes is neither nee-j . i rsary nor advisable to relate the, whole gritn adventure. When an American plane took the ; air in France no one could prophecy,l with a better than an even chance for correctness, whether the machine | would return driven by Its propeller, or have to attempt a glide and vol plane to safety, A sinister percentage had the ex perience of mounting to the clouds, starting blithely after Fritz, and then having the wooden propeller suddenly fly to bits! It was discovered by consultation that Allied plane makers long since had reconciled themselves to the phenomenon. Sopwiths, Nieuports and all the rest were hard on propellers. The crux of the difficulty, lay in the fact that a propeller is large. It can not he made of solid metal, because it would overweight the machine. Wood is by far the best material, but wood possesses the had fault of having a higli percentage of moisture con tent, even when thoroughly air-sea sonid. The experts of the forest products laboratory of the United States De pa' tment of Agricultural succeeded In solving the problem. After a series or thorough experiments bad con vinced them that no paint or varnish then manufactured could hold the moisture content of a propeller con stant. they invented the alumlnum 1. itf method of xvaterproofing wood. At | the close of the war all our airplane propellers wore being made in this way. At the forest products laboratory, I Madison, Wis., airplane propellers made in this way were subjected to the most exhaustive tests. Chambers were set apart—one a "Sumatra room" (where the air was kept at 100 per rent, humidity), another called the "Fainted Desert" (where the ail was almost devoid of moisture), and j so on, covering all possible rlimatie conditions—and the blades made to show exactly what, they could do. Now, after some blades have been in these chambers for several months tlirv stili retain accurate pitch and little moisture variation is observ able -E. T. Bronsdon, in Popular Me chanics' Magazine. SAFISTY RAZORS <>N MARK IST TIIIRT Y-TIIK IS IS \ IS NHS AGO \cty York—.lust who made the first | safety razor is a mystery. A New York man says he has one of the I blades made twenty years ago by the ( original safety razor man, who lived I in New York city. The blade Is one I inch by one and one-half inches, and ! is a quarter of an inch thick at the j top. The owner says it has not been honed in twenty years,"hut is as keen I as ever, and that lie wouldn't sell it | for its weight in l'aiiiuin. A New York phf sician claims to i have invented a safety razor twenty live years ago, hut dealers, whom he thought ought to know razor users' needs, so discouraged him that he didn't get it patented. About 1886 Ketnpf (or Kampf) Brothers, of Brooklyn manufactured a safety razor which was sold in Providence, It. 1., and is reputed to lie the first I ever marketed. These were not ap- | pliances to put on razor blades, but were new inventions it is said. A friend gave one to Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, when lie went to Kuropo, and Ids stories about it gave the razor thousands of dollars' worth of pub licity. However, it was soon eclipsed by better devices and the newer raz- j ors flooded the markets. DATES ENDING IN I'lGt RE S HAD YEARS FOR KINGS Years ending with the figure 8 seem to have a certain fatality In the his tory of kings. Thus 1588 sounded the knell of Philip IPs hopes of ex tended empire; 1618 was the begin ning of the thirty years war, with the misery which the ambition of princes brought upon Europe; 1628, by the Petition of flight, marked the first real revolt of the British people against the doctrine of the divine right a revolt consummated in 1618. The death of Cromwell put a period to another form of autocracy in 1658, and 1688 saw the end of the divine right as practical politics in England. The first partion treaty, in 16!)8, was one of the landmarks in the history of barter of peoples by their kings. The alliance or France and Spain witli the United Slates in 1778 brought another deinocrutlc power Into full I life, and the battle of the Nile, In 1798, crushed Napoleon's dreams of an eastern empire, while in 18s he | began to sense the pangs ol' the "Spanish ulcer." 900,000 SHEEP | IN THIS STATE j Twelve County Association;-, of Sheep Raisers Arc Organized By Associated Press.

Skinner, of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, declared that his State had dropped from al most 200,000 sheep to 18,000 "through abandoned interest due to low prices and high risks." I. L. Sherman, of the Rhode Island Agricultural So ciety, made a similar report. Pennsylvania's condition, as point ed out by IT. H. llavner, of State Col - showed marked improvement. "The State has about 900,000 sheep, in a fnirlv commendable condition." he said. "Twelve county associations of sheep raisers have been organized and the State exhibit toured seven fairs last year in an endeavor to j arouse further public interest."

Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, Street Floor Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, Second Floor supporters of Y. M. C. A. and other welfare organizations In the United War Work campaign last November, but In the two departments their contribut ions far exceeded their orig inal pledges. In the camps of the Eastern De partment, taking in seven States front New York to Virginia, $106,- 445.80 was subscribed to the six or ganization and $110,864.59 was paid in. And while $116,766 was sub scribed by the men in the Central Department, $147,502.58 was actu ally paid. A These figures are regarded as sig nificant by the Y. M. C. A. National War Work Council because the cam paign opened the day the armis ice was signed, and not only were the linunces ol' (lie mujority of the men small, but it seemed that every man of them would have his mind on an early return to civil life. For these reasons (lie campaign commit tee had gone into tiic Army and Navy campaign with some trepida tion, and had made a point of press ing no one to subscribe, but had merely presented the opportunity for subscription. The interest revealed by the sub scription of a quarter of a million dollars, and the subsequent, payment of a sum nearly one-sixth greater, shows that whether the men ex pected to share further in the work of the organisations or not, there was general appreciation of ail pro- | vlous efforts on the part of the or ! ganizattons. ,1 AI'A \ I'iSM U.l.lltM',l) TO MAItKKT STOCK IN I tfllOlUilt SmTiiiin-iH.
