HOUSEHOLD IMP EASIER Girls in England Show More Inclination to Return to Domestics London, Aug. 23. The domestic service problem, according to the Ministry of Labor, is gradually be coming easier, and girls are show ing more inclination to return to household service. Further improvement is expected when the domestic service training centers organized by the London County Council are in full swing. One of these centers was opened to-day in Hammersmith, and im mediately all vacancies for training were filed. Training is free to all girls who are receiving unemployment dona tions. Parlor maids will receive special attention, being taught to wait on table and to observe many little niceties of service, such as not Joining in the laughter which fol lows a good Joke by one of the guests. The correct way of passing around vegetables and moving plates silently also are parts of the curriculum.

Some of the several hundred Mormons who were driven out of their colony at Colonia Morelos. sixty.five miles southeast of Douglas by Villa's army of invasion in 1916 are en deavoring to recover their homes from the Mexican squatters who have usurped them. About ten Mormon families still live in the colony but are not permitted to occupy their own brick houses. Mexican families are living in them and refuse to quit, proclaiming the doctrine of "Mexico for Mexicans." Many other Mormons, disheart ened by their reversals have begun life anew in the United States. Ap peals have been made to the Mexi can government by the Mormons without result. Recently the American State Department asked the Mexican government to drive out the usurpers and restore their property to them. The colonists hope this effort will be successful. DEMOCRATIC CLAN IS TORN ASUNDER BY WILSON POLICY Washington Correspondent Sees Disintegration Approaching That the Democratic party is headed for a disastrous split over the Wilsonlan policies and that the split is bound to manifest itself in the near future is the opinion of the Washington correspondent of the New Tork Evening Sun expressed in a special dispatch to that news paper. According to the Evening Sun's correspondent the split is bound to come sooner than most people at present anticipate and it will be of a violence that will shake the party to its foundations and make abso lutely impossible the election of any Democratic candidate in 1920. The Democratic managers are i alive to the seething discontent within their party which is mani festing itself in all sections of the country and they are to-day fran tically endeavoring to find means for checking this and overriding the growing opposition to Wilson and all things Democratic. While there is apparent calm in some Democratic strongholds it Is the dead and sullen calm before the storm and it does not lighten the lowering clouds which are sweeping over the Administration from every part of the land. In Massachusetts the most prom inent Democrats in the state have openly repudiated Wilson and, it is said, that many of them will even vote the Republican ticket to show their disapproval of some of his policies. In Missouri, Senator James A. Reed, the most powerful Democrat in the state, is revolting against the President and has virtually been read out of the party by the Demo cratic State Committee. The displeasure with which Ken tuckians view the Administration is indicated by the election of a Re publican to Congress from a district which is normally Democratic by 3,000 majority. The frantic efforts of the Demo crats of Alabama to retain for their party the seat in Congress formerly held by the late John Burnett Indi cate that the Republicans' claim that they will carry the Seventh District is well founded. There are many Democrats in both the Senate and House who are ready to abandon Wilson, and in Texas former Senator Bailey is at tempting to form a new Democratic party in opposition to Mr. Wilson's personally conducted Democratic party. Senator Pomerene of Ohio, a Democrat, charges the President with cowardice in dealing with the railroad situation and defies him to pass the buck on the Brotherhood demands to Congress. Throughout the North there is a campaign of denounciation of the President's stand on the Irish ques tion while in all sections of the country business men In the Demo cratic party are chafing at the President's tendencies to put all business under Government control. As further evidence of the grow ing dissatisfaction with the Demo cratic party the country, as a whole, has an idea that profiteering and the high cost of living might have been abated months ago had the President stayed at home and at tended to domestic questions instead of spending his time in the clouds with his League of Nations ideal. As an evidence of the feeling against Mr. Wilson within his own party, it is stated that almost all of the Southern Democrats in the Sen ate and House cordially despise the Wilson principles. They are for States rights, they assert, and they are opposed to seeing the entire Government turned over to the President These are the signs, according to the Sun's correspondent that are plain to every politician in Wash ington and they indicate implacably the coming chaos In the Democratic party.

BLAitRXSBTTRG TELEGRXPTT Scientific Discussions by Garrett P. Serviss By GARRETT P. SERVISS. One of the most surprising of re cent astronomical advances is the accumulation of evidence that there are many dark or black, cloudy-look i ing masses scattered in some places I among and over the stars, which they partially hide like vast smoke veils. This evidence is especially I dut to E. E. Barnard, whose exqui -1 site celestial photograph and whose careful and thoughful interpretation of the meaning of the strange ap pearances presented by them afford new conceptions of the universe. The thought has long been fa miliar to astronomers that the lu minous clouds called nebulae rep resent an early, and perhaps the earliest, stage in the development of stars; in other words, that the stars are evolved of nebulae some what as drops of rain are formed by the condensation of water-vapor. This comparison is Intended to go no further than to suggest a vivid conception of the way in which the nebulae contract around nuclei, and by contracting increase in density until their substance is nearly all concentrated into relatively small spherical bodies, whose temperature rises to the point of incandescence, where upon they become stellar bodies, or suns. But how the nebulae while yet in an expanded state are able to shine, giving off light resembling j that of incandescent gas. has al ways been a puzzling question. This question does not become any easier of solution now that in addition to the luminous nebulae others have been found which are not luminous, and whose existence might never have been suspected if they had not obscured other light-giving objects, or relatively bright areas, behind them. Even a faintly luminous background suffices to betray their presence, as a bat Invisible in com plete darkness may be seen as a shadow if it passes over a dimly il luminated window. In some places these obscure ob jects appear like dark patches upon, or even like holes in the starry curtain of the Milky Way. _ That they really were holes, or "wind ows," was not long ago a widely accepted explanation of the more sharply defined among them, but Barnard's later photographs render this idea inadmissible. In some cases, as in the neighborhood of the nebulous star Rho Ophiuchus. the dark, streaming curtains are slightly translucent, so that the rays of some of the multitude of stars behind them pierce through. Then. too. they sometimes appear to be mingled with, or at least to lie adjacent to luminous nebulae, so that the conclusion seems Irresistible that there is an evolutionary relation between the two kinds —the dark nebulae being, most probably, in an earlier stage than the shining ones. It would seem that the source of the energy which eventually causes the dark masses to become luminous — if they do—must be in themselves. Some change takes place which gives birth to light. Or. the radi ant energy spreads like a fire in dry glass from the parts already incandescent tc others yet dark and inert Our span of observation is too brief, probably, ever to enable us actually to see the borders of a luminous nebulae expand over the adjacent parts of a non-luminous one, but such an observation, if made, would be decisive. The most recent of Barnard's photographs are truly amazing in the deflniteness, darkness, and od dity of the forms which they re veal. Many of them are relatively small in area, and these are as sharply outlined, and as unconven tional in shape as, say, the Caspian Sea, whose queer look on the map j was one of the influences that fired Humboldt with a desire to explore the world. A foretaste of this was given nearly twenty years ago, but not rightly interpreted then, by Keeler's pnotograph of the great conglomeration of stars and lumi nous nebulae called "8-M" in the constellation Sagittarius, where many curious black spots may be seen that look somewhat as if drops of ink had accldently been spilled pon the photograph. The luminous gaseous nebulae ex hibit spectra in which can be dis tinguished only three telltale lines, one of which has been identified with the lightest of all the known chemical elements, hydrogen, while the others appear to belong to some rare element or elements unknown to us. The existence of an element called nebulium.*from its occurrence only in nebulae, has been conjectured, and the guess has also been made that it may be the "primal stuff" of which philosophers have dreamed for ages, from which all other mat erial things have been developed. But the dark nebulae show no spec tra, because they cannot, since they give no light. Do they represent the primal stuff at a still earlier stags —at its very beginning? If they do, then here we have struck bot tom. Northwest Demanding Treaty Reservations Washington, Aug. 28.—The entire Northwest section of the country is in hearty accord with the Republi can leaders of the Senate who Insist upon material reservations and amendments to the League of Na tions, according to Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Washington, who has returned to the capital from a visit to his home in Seattle. "The citizens of the Northwest," Senator Jones said to-day, "are practically unanimous in their sentiment for definite reservations to the League of Nations very much along the line of those now being proposed by the Republican Sen ators. Incidentally, that entire sec tion is now Republican, through-and through." Shoots Father Who Struck His Mother By Associated Press. Roelofß, Pa. Aug 23.—Seizing i shotgun when her father struck her mother during an altercation yester day, Clara Bartel, 16 years old, shot and killed her parent. The dead man Is Charles Bartel. 45 years old. an electrician at the Philadelphia and Reading railway power house about a mile above the Roelofs passenger sta tion. The shooting occurred in the kitchen of the Bartel home near the; power house. Bartel is said to have had words, with his wife ae he came into the house. These words led to a heated argument, during which the man is reported to have struck his wife. According to a neighbor, the quar rel arose over Barters refusal to leave his position in Roelofs and move to Philadelphia to live with a married daughter. TO AMERICANIZE HAWAIIAN PUPILS Jap Educators to Lay More Stress on American Ideals Honolulu, T. H., Aug. 23.

The Japanese educator's plan to Americanize the schools and to stress the work of inculcating American ideals in their pupils while retaining the privilege of studying their language and cul ture. The establishment of a normal school for Japanese teachers, with at least part of the staff to be com posed of Americans, is to be taken up immediately. It was unan imously determined that more at tention must be paid in the Japan ese schools to the teaching of American history, ideals and cus toms and the English language.

Coal scarcity and the uncertainty of the supply for the coming winter are combin ing to turn the attention of engin eers to some system of smoke con sumption which, while saving fuel, will serve to cleanse London's murky atmosphere. To the present no practical system that will come within the purse of the average householder has been devised, but experiments along that line are be ing carried out by a number of cor porations. London uses soft coal in prefer ence to Anthracite and within an hour after six o'clock in the morn ing, when London servants arise, the air is filled with long spirals of smoke from countless chimneypots. The sky soon is entirely obscured. You Don't Dare drive your car without a license—WHY? Be cause you're breaking the laws of the Com monwealth.
