TRAINING THE OFFICE 1B0Y.
The first office building school
hag been started in the Wool-
wortlf. building in New York
city. The school was created to
□p* ever increasing de-
I for business and industrial
fbr young boys. This
Was founded principally
boys and its object is
to baiCh them to perform their
aghly and intelligent-
order that they may at-
tain to increased responsibility.
The school is to be conducted at
the expense of employers, mer-
chants associations and other
business interests.
Tliis school is a new step in
vocational education and is an
indication that the office boy is
coining into his own. The office
boy has long been considered a
necessary part of an establish-
ment, but the only efforts ex-
pended on him heretofore have
been in trying to discover meth-
ods of keeping him from sleep-
ing on the job. The new school
which seeks to encourage him
to attain efficiency and thor-
oughneas is a good and com-
mendable movement.
There are 2,000 office Ixiys in
Texas who would no doubt ap-
preciate the advantages which
such a school would give.
UNIVERSITY ADMIT'
NORMAL GRADUATES
A far-reaching change, where-
by graduates of state normal
schools will hereafter be admit- iny who went forth alone, when

On this point the venerable
and learned Dr. Elliott, emeritus
president of Harvard, says:
‘‘Should Germany and Austria-
Hungary succeed In their pres-
ent undertakings, the whole civ-
ilized world would be obliged to
bear continuously and to an ever
increasing amount, the burdens
of great armaments, and would
live in constant fear of sudden
invasion, now here, now there—
• ‘o’-rible fear against which

of peace intentions would offer
the least security.”
THE HARVEST.
The kings and the colonels,
fatigued by the strain, are writ-
ing their journals of losses and
gain. “We’ve conquered a city,
we’ve smashed a redoubt! Oh,
sing a glad ditty, with jubilant
shout!” The dead men are ly-

women are crying the children

and seventeen farms! They’re
given to pillage, “God favors our

wounded are dying,your triumph
is in vain. In darkness and sor-
row the widowed ones wait, still
hoping tomorrow may bring to

LAXITY IN S< HOOLS
< A USES (RIME
Public school laxity is to

the crime in this country, de-
clared speakers la-fore the con-
vention of the American Prison
association at St. Paul, Minn.,
Monday.

SNEED GUARDS
(’OTTOS PICKERS
At IT. Worth Monday morn-
ing the police were called upon
to stand guard over a carload of
negro cotton pickers to prevent
any of them deserting before
reaching the point of theft des-
tination. B«al Sneed, one of the
biggest cotton farmers in the
Panhandle, had mobilized them
in Texarkana for t duty on his
farm near Paducah, and when
he learned that several of the ne-
groes planned to desert at Ft.
Worth he asked the police to
guard the car fthile at the str.
tion. Patrolman Schwain saw
to it that the negroes remained
in the coach.
Sneed had paid the transpor-
tation to Paducah and he was
determined that the negroes
should not make a good thing
out of him by riding as far as
they wanted to go and then de-

A world-wide coal famine i.-
predicted this winter. The mines
of Europe have t>een closed by
the war which is raging over
there while the foreign coal min
ers have laid down the pick and
shovel to shoulder the rifle and
the bayonet. The nations which
are now at war with each other
previously furnished fifty per
cent of the annual coal supple
of the world, and if the con-
flict continues serious results
will be felt on this side of the
water on account of the closing
of foreign mines.
There are many lessons to lx*
learned from the present con-
flict, one of the most forcible of
which is the need for develop-
ment of our own mining indus-
try. Here in Texas alone our
available coal supply is estimat-
ed by the United State geolog-
ical survey at 31,000,000,000
tons.
The world’s yearly coal «■(?-
quirement is a little more than
a million tons and our estimated
supply.would last the world for
a quarter of a century on the
present basis of consumption.
We produce enough cotton to
clothe the world, enough meat to
supply the demand of both hem-
ispheres, so why not -furnish
civilization with fuel nnd keep
humanity from shivering with
cold ?
MRS. ( ARMEN
TRIAL NEXT WEEK
Mrs. Florence C. Carman, ac-
cused of the murder of Mrs.
Louiae Bailey, will lie a witness
to save herself from the electric-
chair when the trial begins next
week at Freeport, L. I. She is
expected to be the star witness
for the defense, and rumors that
she will tell a remarkable story
are in the air.
“She is brave in the knowledge
that she i* innocant and forti-
fied by the facts which we will
present to prove her innocence,"
said Dr. Carman.
As a part of the prosecution's
evidence the district attorney
will introduce a

IMPRISONED FOR
MILK THEFT
They do things in Delaware
today precisely as they did
things a hundred or more years
ago. Delaware is a poor state
for justice, but if one seeks law,
well that’s another story. For
example, two months’ imprison-
ment for stealing 2 cents’ worth
of milk was the sentence. im-
posed upon John Peters, aged 21,
in the New Castle county court.
He was indicted with all the ac-
companying legal verbiage for
the theft of a “half pint of milk
worth 2 cents and a bottle worth
4 cents,” all lawful money of the
United States, a» the true bill
set forth.
Peters, who had been in jail
since Augrust 21 in default of
hail, pleaded guilty. He asked
fog mercy and said he had pick-
ed up the bottle of milk from a

The town of Dumdum, in
British India, is credited with
originating the soft-nosed bul-
lets that have figured in pro-
tests from both sides in the Eu-
ropean war. The second Hague
conference declared their use
uncivilized.
The invention of the dumdum
bullet is said to hnve been due
to fanatical charges by native
troops who in their frenzy were
insensible or indifferent to the
clean wounds of other types of
missiles. The effectiveness of
the dumdum is due to the mush-
rooming of the blunt, soft lead
noae, which is not protected by
steel jackets as are modern tyjie
of bulleta.
The original dumdum had a
l>oint of lead against a hard
jacket, and when it hit, the soft
lead expanded into the shape of
a mushroom. A newer type was
lead covered, with a hard metal
except for a tiny hole at its
point This hole communicated
with a little channel penetrat-
ing the lead for about a third
