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.

I cation of all Republican Senators on
\ the course to be pursued when the
j peace treaty, including the covenant,
i comes before the Senate for ratifica
tion.
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

i ferred during the day with Senator

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."

addresses and reports at the opening:

< onfcrence of the More Sheep-More

Laws prohibiting dogs from running:

G. S. Plumb, of the Ohio Wool
Growers' Association, said that more
than $7,C00,000 had been paid out by
the State of Ohio since 1850 to own
ers of sheep killed by dogs.
A. <>. 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."
