RANGERS REPORT WIDE-OPEN
SALOONS IN GALVESTON
AUSTIN, Tex., May 12.—“Wide-
open saloons made it look like old
times,” said State Rangers returning
to Austin Tuesday from Galveston,
where they had been on duty guarding
property on the wharves since May 1
in anticipation of labor troubles that
did not materialize.
“Not only did we see numerous sa-
loons where intoxicating liquor was
served at reasonable price, but some
of us were actually invited to take a
drink,” said one of the Rangers.
“I was told that there is a four-
block area in Galveston where liquor
is dispensed without fear of inter-
ference of peace officers.”
Asked if the Rangers attempted to
make any arrests for violation of the
prohibition laws, the Ranger said that
“the Rangers’ mission in Galveston
was to stop any labor troubles that
might break out.”

CLOSING RECITAL
OF MUSIC CLASS
The piano class of Mrs. W. H. Mo-
ses gave its closing exercises Tuesday
night at the Presbyterian church, and
the National Music Week celebration
seemed to have been a stimulus as
the church was crowded and people
were sitting in cars outside of the
church to listen to the music. Mrs.
Moses announces that this is the close
of her music teaching career and she
is appreciative of all the courtesies
extended her as such. She has taught
here and elsewhere for several years
and her success is undisputed, but
.since she has chosen to be a home-
keeper she feels that she has done
her duty as a teacher and relinquish-
es that position with no regrets.
Each number on the program was
especially well rendered and the
younger pupils as well as the more
advanced students showing marked
advancement in their training. Fol-
lowing is a list of the members of
the class who rendered the program:
Ada Mae and Melba Gilbert, Florence
Moses, Lillian Earnest, Maurine Zar-
ring, Ruth Campbell, Dorothy Smith.

That New Bonnet
Forced to Do Public
Penance for Slander
Public penance was the punishment
meted out to slanderers as recently as
the Nineteenth century. In 1822 thou-
sands of persons assembled in Bethnal
Green church, London, and the ad-
joining thoroughfares, attracted
thither by the announcement that a
young married woman, named Sarah
Green, had been ordered by the sur-
rogate of the ecclesiastical church to
do penance in the church for having
called her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ann
Johnson, an opprobrious name. The
order said she was to stand in a white
sheet, but this was dispensed with,
much, it is said, to the disappointment
of the spectators. Mrs. Green, who is
described as being “a very fine young
woman," was attired in a white dress,
and repeated the following recantation
in the vestry in the presence of the
rector, church wardens, the person
calumniated, and five or six of her re-
lations :
“I, Sarah Green, wife of James
Green, have uttered and spoken sev-
eral scandalous and opprobrious words
against Ann Johnson, wife of William
Johnson of St. Matthew, Bethnal
Green, to the great offense of Al-
mighty God, the scandal of the Chris-
tian religion, and the injury and re-
proach of my neighbor’s credit, by
calling her ‘-’ I do, therefore, be-
fore God and you, humbly confess and
acknowledge such offense, and am
heartily sorry for the same, and do
ask her forgiveness, and promise here-
after never to offend her in the like
manner, God assisting me.”
Mrs. Green appeared very much af-
fected ; and after the form was gone
through was led out of the church by
the beadles, who conducted her safe-
ly through the mob, and she was con-
veyed home in a coach.
Diversity in Retail
Trade Is Spreading
“John,” said the affectionate wife,
"before you come home tonight will
you stop at the drug store and get me
one of those electric flatirons they ad-
vertise for $8.98 and a pound of tea?”
“Yes,” said the loving husband, "and.
when I go out to get my luncheon in
the cigar store I’ll buy you a nice box
of candy.”
At how many kinds of store can
you buy a safety razor? asks the Na-
tion’s Business. Hardware stores,
drug stores, cigar stores, stores that
deal in men’s clothing, department
stores, sporting-^oods stores, occa-
sionally in stores that began by sell-
ing candy and later carried tobacco.
They can be bought from/ mail-order
houses and direct by mail, and there
may be others.
These instances could be multiplied
Indefinitely to show' the increase in di-
versification that has come over re-
tailing in the last few years in this
country.
Made Sick of Liquor
One of the most original ways of
curing the habitual drunkard is that
practiced in the “inebriates’ homes” of
Norway. And, according to report, it
Is one of the most effectual.
When brought to the “home” the
"case” is allowed nothing but wine to
drink. Not only this, but all food sup-
plied to inmates is flavored with, or
dipped in, wine.
For a day or two there are “no com-
plaints.” But gradually the wine and
wine-flavored food begin to pall, until
presently even the most thorough-go-
ing drunkard begins to wonder what
virtues the grape can possibly pos-
sess. So quickly does the treatment
work, indeed, It Is claimed even the
worst cases can be cured.
Origin of “Sterling”
Of unusual interest is the derivation
of the word "sterling” as applied to
something that is “genuine, pure, un-
adulterated, or of excellent quality.”
The Easterlings were the north Ger-
mans, or the merchants of the Han-
seatic league, the original “moneyers”
of England. The name of these mer-
chants came to be applied to coin or
goods of a fixed, standard value, an-
swering all tests.
In the time of Edward I, we find an
English coin issued of the designation'
of a dinar or dinarius, called “ster-
ling,” has been applied to the English
pound, which before the war was re-
garded ns the best vtilue in the world.

Greenland
.Greenland was named by the Nor-
wegian explorer, Eric the Red. Upon
bis return from Greenland in 985 he
gave the new country that name in
order to make people mo.re willing to
go there. The climate is very cold,
the mean annual isotherm of freezing
temperature crossing the island at its
southern end. This fact does not pre-
vent the prevalence of warmth suit-
able for vegetation during the long
summer day in the interior of the
iiords and in sheltered places quite to
rhe northern end of the island. Thus
he summer temperature in favored
localities often reaches an important
height.

NICKELS AND DIMES
BUY BURIAL LOT FOR
“ANGEL” OF HOBOES
Chicago, May 9.—From out of Chi-
cago’s “barrelhouse” district, the
shabby, broken down place where
derelicts and bits of human drift-
wood ply their trade of alms asking,
nickels and dimes showered Saturday
to give “Mother Drew” a decent bur-
ial.
“Mother Drew” had long been
known as “the Angel of the Barrel-
house.” She worked in a modest way
for 39 years to better conditions
among the “floaters” she loved to call
“my boys.”
When “Mother Drew” died she
would have been buried in the Pot-
ter’s Field, blit for these nickels and
dimes which appeared. And so she is
to he laid to rest in a cool and shaded
lot in an exclusive suburban cemetery.
Mrs. Bonner G. Lane left Wednes-
day morning for Cooiedge where she
will spend a few days and witness
the graduating exei’cises of her sister.
