When the will of a certain Samuel Wilson of London was probated re cently in the English courts, it was found that the bulk of his fortune had been strangely disposed of, the Indian- apolis News remarks. A fund had been left th trust from which loans of sums ranging from $500 to $1,500 are to be made to young men en- gaged in business. The restrictions surrounding the loans proved that Bamuel Wilson was not only a man of generous impulses, but a philan- thropist of no mean order. No loan is to be made to any man who has not carried on his business for a year, and none to amy applicant who has been in business more than three years. i This may appear whimsical, but a Tittle closer imspection will relieve it «of this suspicion. The testator, as a matter of fact, has done something for young business men that young ibusiness men sadly need. It is an axiom of the business world that the third year of any new venture is the crucial year. This, evidently, was in Mr, Wilson’s mind, and, like as not, he knew from personal experience how difficult it is for a young business man, gith no more substantial assets than good prospects and abundant opti: mism, to borrow money when money is most required. To the Hmit of his resources, he has come to their re- lief. A year’s time, he probably fig- wred, would weed out the incompe- ‘tent and the faint-hearted, and leave the worthy, while the latter, enduring for three years, could probably show assets thereafter that would make bor- rowing less difficult. ¢ His fund will help those who are <apable of helping themselves. Banks are not given to that sort of thing, and a young man, embarking in business, often finds himself helpless because he lacks capital or collateral. With- out «he latter he cannot borrow, and, promising as the future may be, he is frequently forced to abandon the en- terprise for the want of a few hun- «dred dollars. This, said a banker res «cently, is one of the tragedies of the business world. Banking laws are necessarily strict. Security for loans must be tangible, and faith and optimism, however im- portant they may be, have no bank- able value. With honesty and integ- rity they play their part, but the bank- er, none the less, must have his se- curity. So the Wilson will establishes a practical philanthropy. Some wealthy American who is at a loss—as now and then one of them says he is— to make wise disposition of his riches, might, with good reason, follow the example of Samuel Wilson of London. | Bang Went a Tire. It was like the crack of a rifle, out in the street, in"Tront of our abode, but it was only a tire snapped. The man got out and looked, and then got in and turned his auto homeward. His wife and child were in it, and ‘they seemed prepared for a cool morning visit somewhere. It was too bad to have one’s hopes thus crushed. ‘These miserable old tires play havoe with many a bright anticipation. In fact, it is hard to imagine an antici- pation that can be so cruelly mangled as that which hears the crack of a treacherous tire. Won't the happy time every come when the tire abuse will not afflict the people; when the spring will be transferred from the wheel to the bed of the vehicle; when a man may g0 .over sharp stones and recreant glass without fear and trembling? Whers are Edison and Henry Ford and those other giants of ingenuity—why don’t they do something? So we write with our heart going back with that dis- pbointed family to mend their wheel nd take a new start, in the heat of the morning.—Columbus Journal Plain, Tailored Utility Coats —— HE long, protecting “rain or shine” coat, made to meet the exigencies of travel or life in the out-of-doors, is cut en simple lines. One of the most practical of these coats is pictured here. It hangs straight on the figure. The needed fullness at the bust line is provided for by two small plaits on each shoul- der. This is taken up from the swell of the bust down in a stitched-in plait at each side of the front, the plaits extending below the normal waist- line for at least six inches. The coat is open at the throat, but without revers. The neck is finished with a small sailor collar and the sleeves with turnback cuffs. Bone buttons are used for fastening and as a decorative feature on the cuffs. Coats of this kind are made with skirts to match. The latter, severely plain and straight, are worn with blouses of thin wash silk, pongee or sheer wash fabrics. These coats and skirts require firmly woven rainproof goods in quiet staple colors., Either can be worn without the other, and the coat is designed to do duty wher- ever a separate coat is needed. In some of the new models these coats are cut with a flaring skirt set onto a shorter bodice in the style of the Russian coat. Others, of heavier fabrics, are cut double-breasted, in long-waisted designs having an invert- ed plait at each side to give a slight flare to the skirt part. In these the sleeves are large and straight with turnback cuffs. Turnover collars that may be brought up snugly and tight- ly about the neck make this a warmer garment than open-throated models. This is best for the automobile. One of the most modish of coats belongs in the redingote class. It is constructed with an easy-fitting long- sleeved jacket to which a plaited skirt is set on. This terminates at each side three inches, or a little more, from the front of the jacket, to which it is attached under a belt of folded satin. There is a rolling collar of velvet and narrow cuffs of it, both. finished with a silk braid. The jacket is fastened with large barrel-shaped buttons at the front. When a skirt to match any of these utility coats is needed it is ‘cut in the straight-line style and the requisite’ fullness given with inverted plaits. Small Girl’s Outfit for Cold Weather HOPPING for the requirements of the little girl develops the knowl- edge that she may be provided with almost as many dress accesscries as are designed for her mother. In anticipation of wintry weather the little maid in the picture is about to be outfitted with warm clothing in which she may defy the cold for one thing and look pretty and well cared for, for another. In outside garments she is first sup- plied with a heavy, close-knitted sweatercoat. It is finished with turn back collar and cuffs and a knitted belt and is almost as warm as fur. The color is a rich red, about the best choice and the most pleasing to the lit- tle wearer. The collar may be rolled up about the neck and the cuffs brought well down over the hands. .to protect the wrists. For dally wear this is the ideal garment. The Httle Scotch cap to be worn with this or any other coat is of black and red velvet bound and trimmed with black silk braid. The crown is a long puff of black velvet, and the bands about it at each side are of red lined with black and finished with a binding of black silk braid. These bands ark extended at the back, where they are cut into two tabs which are turned down and fall over the hair. At the front the bands are also turned back and the points tacked down. Small bows of the black silk braid used in the binding are placed at the middle of the front and back. Knitted caps or hoods for school and for outdoor play and mittens to take the place of the muff, are to be provided. Freedom to play keeps an active child warm in ordinary cold weather without the fur sets which are not expected to stand a great deal of hard service. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. GERMANS’ RUSH NEAR SEAHALTED Berlin Announces That Outlying Verdun Forts Have Fallen - DESPERATE COMBAT WAGED \. Baffled By Belgians, Foes Hurl Main Blow on French Near Arras— Both Germans and Rus- sians Claim Victory. London.—Thwarted in their coast dash for Dunkirk by the spirited re- sistance of the little Belgian army, the German invaders shifted the brunt of their attack to the southern end of their turning movement and fought desperately, but by all accounts futil- ly, to break the French line near Arras. Thousands of men and projec- tiles were hurled against the defend- ers there from Lille, which the Ger- mans are using as a base, but after a day of hard fighting the lines of de- fense were intact. Fighting of the most desperate character is in progress in West Flan- ders and Northwestern France. The Belgian army, supported by the allies, is holding stubbornly to the line of the River Yser, and have success- fully halted determined efforts of the Germans to advance along the coast. This i8 announced in the French official communication and is admit- ted in the report of German general headquarters, which says fighting has been going on in the vicinity of Nieu- port, which stands at the crossing of the river near the sea. A little further to the south the allies are attempting to advance to- ward Lille for the relief of that city, which has been in German hands for some time. They also are pushing pn to the north and south of Arras. Their efforts to advance on Lille, where the Germans hold strong posi- tions, were repulsed. Berlin.—Some of the outlying forts about Verdun have been captured by the Germans and they are preparing for an attack on the main fortifica- tions of the French fortress, accord- ing to an official statement. It states that the German operations against the Russians and against the allies in Belgium and France continue to be successful. Paris.—The German forces in Bel- gium are making sharp attacks, but the Belgian army has succeeded in maintaining its line along the River Yser, according to an official state- ment. The allies in Belgium are fighting with the Germans in the re- gion about Ypres; while the Germans are making sharp attacks against the allies’ left wing from Lille. The German sweep toward the coast of the English channel near Dunkirk and Calais has been effectu- ally checked, it is claimed by the French war office. The allies are reported to be as suming the offensive all along their left wing in northern France and Bel gium. The tide in the. north has turned by the arrival of British erinforce ments, but not until the allies engag: ed in the flanking drive eastward had passed through a crisis which threat- ened to wipe out their forces north and northwest of Lille. The rapid advance of the Germans under General von Boehn and Gen eral von Besler had been a severe test to the half trained troops de fending the allied line south of Dun kirk. The allies, in their efforts tc get to the rear of the German right flank and to stretch a line of defense south of the coast had over-extended their own line and the Germans, dash: ing out ‘of Lille and westward from Belgium, seized St. Omer, less than 20 miles from the coast and broke through the allies’ front. Reinforce ments gave the allies in that regior a | superiority in numbers and the Germans were driven back. Berlin.—Continued successes for the German and Austrian armies against the Russians in the eastern campaign are claimed. ‘The general staff declares the czar's forces have been unable tc drive back the Germans and Aus trians from the Vistula river and further says that south of Przemysl the Austrians are flanking the Rus sian left wing. Petrograd.—Tremendous losses have been suffered by the Germans in thei: attacks on the Russian positions along the Vistula river, it was announced here, but fighting continues day and night. The fighting is of the most desper ate character, but thus far the Rus sians have more than held their own it is stated at the war office. The AWstro-German forces on the Warsaw: Ivangorod front are being compelled to withdraw “step by step.” More Pacific Islands Seized. Tokyo.—The admiralty announced that all islands of strategic import ance in the Marshall, Ladrone, East Caroline and West Caroline archipel agoes had been seized by Japanese forces. Von Moltke’s Son Buried by French Paris.—The “Matin’s” correspondent at Fecamp telegraphs that a French army surgeon has buried the son ol General von Moltke, chief of the Ger man general staff, who was canturec when woundad, LIED TO SAVE MEN'S LIVES Death or Capture of Lost English Sol- diers Averted by Baldness of French Village Priest. G. H. Perris, in a message to the Chronicle, tells of a dramatic little episode that occurred in a French vil- lage. Four lost “Tommies” turned up in village and asked for shelter. They had been chased by uhlans, and the cure probably realized the risks he ran in taking them into his little kouse. Early in the morning, sure enough, a German patrol rode into the place, summoned the inhabitants together, and demanded the surrender of the Englishmen, threatening dire penal- ties. Every one knew where they were, and turned to their spiritual guide. Instinct saves us from reason in such crises. The good cure lied bold- ly, in a loud voice, so that his flock should understand. He had not seen the Englishmen. No doubt they had gone on toward Paris. The German soldiers rode on. ; What most struck my informant, says the correspondent, was the ex- ceeding deliberation with which the Atkins four performed their toilet and brushed their hair and clothes before making their ecape. The cure then left for a safer place.~Pall Mall Ga- zette. ITCHING BURNING ERUPTION Hector, N. Y—"The skin trouble on baby’s head began in little festers. Then the festere would break and leave a sore and some were half as large as a cent. The eruption looked like three or four little sores all with matter in them and seemed to fitch and burn and make him fretful. It seemed to be all around the hair and they looked terrible. Baby would dig his head and it felt real hot to my hand. He would cry in his sleep. “I had used liniments and salves but they did not do any good only made it worse. One day I saw the.

Nervous The Cause Laid Bare Tea and coffes drinkers often notice backache, headache, rheumatic pain, dis- ziness, drowsy, tired feelings, disturbed seination and other signs of kidney weak- ess.
