This Week ? b Arthur Brisbane Work for Four Million Hovr They Get It Prohibition, Farewell Permanent Waves, Free President Hoosevelt announces a k plan to find Jobs for four million Idle, taking them ofT the public dole system, supplying them with work ou self sustaining federal, state and local pub lic works. The $400,01X1,000 to be devoted to this task will he well spent, If the unr dertaklng Is successful. The President hopes that two million will he em ployed on the new work In the course of this month and two million more be fore the end of December. A New York banking house Informs you that It bought up an automobile company, paid $140,000,000 In one check, did not put In it dollar of Its own money, getting the $140,000,000 from the public In exchange for the stock and keeping the "voting stock," controlling the company, as part of Its bonus. Later It sold the company to another concern for $180,000,000. Your keen In telligence may tell you who got the difference between $140,000,000 and $180,000,000. Prohibition Is dead, the voters of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Utah complet ing the necessary 30 states. Another dangerous experiment In control of the majority by a minority, another effort to chnnge by law the customs crt men and the habits of centuries comes to an end for the present. Unfortunately, while prohibition dies, the crime wave and the boot legging that finances crime survive. Hut, with the cause abolished, the gov ernment will find a way to remove the results. Monsieur Paul Bonhoure. hairdress er of the French city of Tarascon, made famous by the novel "Tartarln of Tarascon," has won five million francs (about $307,000 of our money) In the French lottery. What will he do? Will he buy a yacht and sail the oceans of the world? Will he buy the top of a mountain, erect a telescope and study the uni verse so much wider than a hairdress er's shop? Will he lead n life of pleasure in Paris, where pleasure Is for sal?i at reasonable rates for Frenchmen? No, nothing of that sort. Ho will continue In his halrdressing shop, and to show that he has the right French spirit he will give a free "permwuent wave" to every one of his lady ens tomers. Not everybody has imagination Before the federal government took an Interest In the kidnaping Industry, bringing about one or two death sen tences and many life sentences, thai industry was proceeding along amhl tlous lines. It Is shown that kidnap ers had definite, careful planB to kid nap Governor McNutt of Indiana. On a map that the kidnapers meanl to follow was written : "Force gover nor to sign pardon, release him unln Jured, Junction 43." There was als< sketched the town square of Danville Ind., with arrows pointing to the Firs' National and the Danville State hank and a memorandum: "Get money, k I ) ' any one making resistance. Act quick.' The Idea of robbing a bank and "killing anybody" Is old. Hut kidnap Ing a governor to force him to sign some criminal's pardon would be new It was announced hastily, without final decision, fortunately, that the civil service would not hire any ste nographer or typewriter more than 40 years old. It would be a pity If the government felt obliged to say to all past 40. "Consider yourselves dead." Now, with relief, you learn that the lady stenographers can be employed b? the government up to "an ape llm it of 58 years."

Klnjf Syndicate. Ine . Sulphur Has Become Important Industry Makes Great Strides in U. S. in Thirty Years. Washington. ? Thirty years ago the sulphur industry in the United States was in its swaddling clothes. In 1901 oil drillers discovered large deposits in Texas. From this and other de posits sulphur production has devel oped until today, domestic mines give up about 80 per cent of the world's supply. "Perhaps, to the average layilmn. sulphur Is known only as a mineral used In the manufacture of matches, an ingredient of pills and liquids lin ing drug store shelves, or a yellow substance that Is burned to fumigate sick rooms," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. "But to many chemists and manu facturers It is a far more Important mineral," continues the bulletin. "It hides in many products and aids In the manufacture of others. "Manufacturers of alcohol, alum, ar tificial fertilizers and silk; beltings, binders and bleaching agents; cellu loid, cements and chemicals; dyes, ebonite, elastics and explosives; fire extinguishers, fireworks, preserved food, and fumlgants; glass, glue and glycerin; leather, liquid fuel, live stock food and lubricants; medicine and mov ing picture films; paints, paper, photo graphic supplies and poisons; refrig erators, rodent exterminators, and rub ber; shoe polish, soap, soda, pickled steel, storage batteries, sugar, and textiles, are all good customers of the sulphur producer. And this is only a partial list of the users of the min eral. Texas Is Sulphur State. "Nature was no respecter of world regions when she scattered sulphur through the earth's rocky crust. Ap parently. however, she was more gen erous with some regions than others.' Wherever there are volcanoes there Is sulphur, but lava-spouting craters were not nature's only beneficiaries, for the coastal plains of Texas now are the world's greatest source of the yellow mineral. "In lOO.'l about 9"> per cent of the world's supply of sulphur was dug out of the hills of Sicily where It had been produced for several centuries. Although sulphur now Is the leading Italian mineral, Italy Is the second largest producer. Japan. Chile, Spain, Austria, Ecuador, France, Greece, China and Mexico also have 'workings' but the total output of all of them, including Italy, Is only about one-fifth of the amount taken from. United States deposits today. "Texas, with Its numerous sulphur properties, is the 'Sulphur State' of the United States. It supplies about 99 per cent of American sulphur. The other 1 per cent conies In normal times from Nevada, Utah, Louisiana, Colorado, and New Mexico. The Lone Star state .produces more than 2,000, 000 tons a year. Resembles Oil Well. "Many deposits, particularly those In Sicily, are worked In much the same way as coal mines. In Texas, a !bu1 phur-produclng area resembles an yill Held, with lofty derricks dotting t\e landscape and a network of pipes co\\ erlng the ground. ' "When drillers reach sulphur, they sink steel piping, force super heated steam Into the deposit, and pump the melted mineral through pipes to a huge wooden vat. As the vat Is filled, Its sides are built higher. The sulphur solidifies ? it Is almost pure sulphur. * "Then the wooden sides of the vat are removed and the mountainous block of sulphur ? about 1,000,000 tons ? Is exposed. A characteristic sight in the Texas sulphur country are the lowering yellow blocks, glenniing In the sun. Some of the vats In which the sulphur Is molded are 800 feet long. 300 feet wide, and from -10 to fSO feet high. Itallroad spurs are laid beside the blocks, and as sulphur com panies receive orders, explosives break down the masses and the mineral Is conveyed to cars by steamshovels and belt conveyors." Urges Early Fight on Boll Weevils By WILLIAM BRUCKART Washington. ? The Department of Agriculture has already started Its fight on next year's crop of cotton boll weevils. It is urging all cot ton farmers with whom it can come in contact to destroy the stalks of this year's cotton crop because it is In those stalks that next year's boll weevils are now hibernating. "Early destruction In the fall of the stalks prevents the develop ment of a multitude of weevils." the department experts explained. "Plowing the stalks under or graz ing the land destroys the weevils In Immature stages, and destroys the places in which they may grow next year. Destruction of the hi bernating places also may cause many weevils, now in adult stage, to starve to death before cold weather arrives, while others will be in a weakened condition from lack of food and will not survive the hibernating period." The department is asking that the fight on the weevils may be de veloped Into community affairs. It was pointed out that, while every cotton farmer ought to act Individ ually, the efforts of all when Joined together will be much greater for wkole areas then can he made reasonably free from the pest.

Fraud* in Bibles Are Revealed by Collector San Francisco. ? The experience of John Howell, owner of the finest prl vale collection of Bibles In the west, reveal that even that hook does not es cape being a party to frauds and de. cent Ions. "Kvery week some one bring* In a Hlhle and tries to sell It as a valuable copy hundreds of yours old. But they nre only 00 to (Ml years old." flowcll said. "Some of them have been stained by soaking In tea or coffee to give the pages the yellow tinge of centuries. "These stained pages easily can be detected by examining the paper If you know what to look for. A IWble printed on old paper from plates en graved from a photostatic copy of an orlglniil work also can he detected. Most collectors have bound photostatic copies of every rnre edition and even a hurried checkup will reveal a coun terfeit." Howell started his collection only seven years ago.

For the first time In history a full-blooded Indian Is head of the Haskell Indian institute here. He Is Henry Hoe Cloud, born in a wigwam "in the month of snows, early in the hungry winter." on the Winne bago reservation in Nebraska. Henry wasn't the name his father gave him. To that brave his son was Wa-Na-Xl-Lay-Hunka, which in the Winnebago dialect means War Chief. A government school at Genoa changed all that. His first day at school found conflict and deletion of his name. Wa-Na-Xi-Lay-Hunka was too long for the government register, and so he became Henry. After the Genoa Indian school, Cloud went Fast, finally financing his way through Yale university. He became a teacher and leader of his tribesmen. He made a valiant fight for the freedom of Indians and their wives and children imprisoned nt Fort Sill, Okla., after their leadei had waged war against the govern ment. He won the fight. Later he became a fleld represent ative of the Indian service, and re cently was appointed superintendent of Haskell Institute. Women Man Life Boats on Huge Pacific Liner Vancouver. ?

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC ? How to Work With Others. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC ? Unity In Christ. The establishment of the church at Corinth Is an example of missionary endeavor for all ages. The method employed and the message delivered which resulted tn success then will re sult In success now. I. The True Missionary Method (Acts 18:1-3). Paul came to Corinth a stranger In a strange city. Ills method of paining a foothold was, 1. Finding a home (v. 2* This he found with Aqulla and Prlscllla who had recently been expelled from Home. Relng of the same nationality, there was a natural affinity with them. 2. Tolling for dally hread (v. 8). Paul was of the same craft as his host. Kvery Jewish child was taught some trade by means of which he could gain his livelihood, should occa sion -require. Missionaries should not be above honest toll. II. Preaching in the Synagoguo at Corinth (Acts 18:4-8). 1. Compelled to toll for n living (v. 4). Though compelled to toll for a living, he did not lose sight of his main work, lie reasoned In the syna gogue every sabbath, persuading the Jews and the Creeks. 2. His activity Increased through the coming of Silas and Timothy (v. r>). Tills was caused by, a. Favorable report from the church at Thessalonlca. This report put new vigor into his labors. b. They brought pecuniary gifts from the Macedonian church (Phil. 4:1f>; II Cor. 11:0). Reing now free from the necessity of toiling for a llv- - lug, he could devote more time and energy to preaching the gospel. c. Silas and Timothy became help ers to Paul in the work. 3. Increased opposition (v. 0). Paul's Increased activity met with Increasing opposition. 4. Paul announces his purpose to turn to the Gentiles (v. (5). This was necessitated because of the opposition and blasphemy of the Jews. 5. Paul In the house of Justus (vv. 7, 8). lie remained sufficiently near those whose hearts Cod had touched that they could easily find him. Ills success here was such that Orlspus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, was converted. Paul departed from his usual custom and baptized Crlspus. III. Paul's Vision (Acts 18:9-11). This vision was for the purpose of giving encouragement to Paul at this time. Ills experiences in Europe were most frying. 1. "Re not afraid" (v. 0). The one who Is doing the will of the Lord need not he afraid. 2. "Speak, and hold not thy peace" (v. f)). The one who has heard the voice of Cod ennnot refrain from speaking. "I am with thee" (v. 10). All who faithfully carry on t the divine commission can be assured of the di vine presence. 4. "No man shall set on thee to hurt thee" (v. 10). No harm can come to the Lord's servant until his work Is done. ?J>. "I have much people in this city" (vttJO). The one who goes forth with the divine message can be assured that his ministry cannot fail. IV. Party Spirit In the Corinthian Church (I Cor. 1 :10 IS). In this church rival factions were contending against each other, Rom* were for Paul, some for A polios, some 1 for Peter, and some for Christ. The cause of this threatened division was \ failure to see the true headship of the church. Christ Is the one and only ' Head, and the members composing his body cannot be divided. Membership J and Interest all center In Christ.' Ry , one Spirit all were baptized Into the , one body (I Cor. 12:13). Sectarianism i Is an evil to be deplored. The factious spirit In the church rnars Its testimony and retards Its growth. Those who understand the oneness In Christ will 1 he Joined together In the same mind. V. The One Supreme Message of the True Preacher (I Cor. 2:1 8). It Is Jesus Christ arid him crucified. ? Prejudice and human limitations pre venl men from seeing eye to eye. Christian unity Is possible only as the members of his hodv grow up Into Christ. i Chr5?t All It Is amazing whitt use Jesus make* of frail mediums. None of the Twelve nppears to hnve been a mnn of out standing position until Jesus took them | and made them men of might and vision. That Is what Is continually ha ppenlng.

Gold has only one way of coining Into use, but a thousand ways of dis appearing. Pure gold Is extraordinarily soft, and for coinage purposes Is alloyed with copper or silver. Jewelers use various metals for the purpose of alloying gold and In this way produce those beautifully colored golds which are now so popular. Red gold is got by adding 25 parts of copper to 75 of gold ; green gold Is a mixture of 25 parts of silver with 75 of gold : while water-green Is got by mixing 40 parts of silver with GO of gold. Blue gold, which Is curiously beau tiful, Is obtained by alloying Iron with gold, 25 parts of Iron with 75 parts of gold.
