According to a French scientist there is only one chance in 17,000, 000,000 for a mistake in the finger print system. With all the modern equipment for apprehending crim inals it begins to look as if the vl dous element of society has a mighty slim chance of escape. f It is reported that Mrs. Vincent ', :, A b tor Is washing dishes at "one of """""the cantonments in France. - If she is able to make dish-washing popular she will hare accomplished' some- r thing beyond the ken of any other of her sex since dishes were made. This war is making men feel the .need of religion more than anything T that haa happened in the" last cen tury. The only refuge of the people is their' faith in God. and1 it is writ ten that the righteous shall not be : forsaken, neither shall their seed beg V their bread. Los Angeles Times. A friend at the writer's elbow thinks Solomon, son of David, king of Israel, had the kaiser in mind when he said in Proverbs: "I will 1 make known my words unto you; because I have called and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand and no man hath regarded; but ye have set at nought all my counsel; and would have none of my reproof; I will also laugh In the day of your calamity; 1 will mock when your fear cometh; when your fear cometh as a storm, and your calamity som- eth on as a whirlwind." Dr. John Thompson, secretary of the Chicago Missionary Society, says that the men who die on the Euro pean battlefields, . whether they are professing Christians or not, will be saved. They are dying for mankind, and that is a duty coming mighty near Christianity. Paraphrasing a well-known line of an American poet, "It's a dern sight better business than loafing around the throne." v . And there is - the clergyman who on each succeeding Sunday airs his cock-sure opinions of the war. There is no higher need today than for the ! preacher to place his lips to the gos Zpel trumpet and preach in the name as a storm, and your calamity com .better service than to point to the God who caused a sound as of a gong In the top of the mulberry trees as a signal to the hosts of His people to move on against the enemy.

According to statistics more than 2000 motorists in this country were killed during 1916 because they failed to stop, look and listen when approaching grade crossings. ' The scriptural text. "To him that" hath not shall be taken away even that which he seemeth to have," holds good under all circumstances and In every realm of thought and action in life. It is not only a scriptural warning, it is a universal law. Leav ing the Justice ofsnch a law entire ly out. of the question. It is a well known fact that failure to legiti mately use any power whether it be money, will or Intelligence in evitably results in the loss of that power, (The man who does not use every sense and sensibility given hi in for his protection is likely to be de prived of all his senses. GOIXG TO MEXICO? A time must surely come, and t may not be far off, when we shall be under the necessity of going into Mexico with armed forces to prevent-the establishment of conditions there menacing the future peace and safety of this country. We have gone into Mexico twice, only to imi tate the famous achievement of the King of France in marching up hill and then down again.. If we go up a third time It will be In another spirit and to another purpose.' Not again "will the ? American people suff fer the shame and humiliation of the futile encampment in Vera Cruz nor the equally futile and shameless man hunt for Villa. We shall mean business next time.' and we advise Mr. Carranza to take warning while still there is time for saving what there Is of his government Loa Angeles Times. , Again, brother, "one war at a time, one war at a time." FOKWAUD FOREVER! That the world today Js making many mistakes there is no question but they are mistakes similar lo those made by the child In trying to walk, by the young bird In trying tot fly, by the kitten when it first at. tempts to climb, a tree. Never before in the history of this world' have men been so Intensely interested in philosophy, science and religion, in the laws that govern both human life and the universe at large. The present war is both a result and a cause. It js largely the result of human ity's inefficiency and pride and es pecially of the pride yes, and of the inefficiency of Germany and that is why that country will have to suf fer most before t is all over. The cause or reason for the war only the Almighty knows; but, judg ing from the past, some of the world's greatest sages believe It is only for the development and pro gression of the entire human race. President . Wilson's words, "The world safe for democracy," was the match that has kindled a fire that is sweeping around the globe: Not only the people of America, but the peoples or all the earth, will see to it that those words are made prophetic.

SCIENTISTS CALL ECLIPSE (Continued from page 1). watching for ejects on nature were also rewarded, for crescent shaped shadows on the ground were seen and In some cases where cloth was spread mysterious and unexplained shadow bands were observed, al though some failed altogether of re sults in this particular detail of the study. Scientifically the Baker eclipse, as the solar phenomenon observed to day will be known In records of United States naval observatory, whose party made Us observations from this city, was successful. Be lief was expressed that development of plates than more fifty photographs were made, will almost, if not quite, solve the few remaining problems of solar atmosphere and distance from sun surface. Sky Slightly Cloudy. While the sky was not entirely clear, light hazy clouds prevailing are not believed to have seriously hampered ooservatlons. "We secured fine results undoubt edly," said J. C. Hammond, head of the naval observatory party. "The clouds hindered little ir any." That the photographic and spectro scopic work will produce most suc cessful results was the opinion of Or. S. A. Mitchell, director of Lean der McCornilck observatory, Univer sity of Virginia. lie has been to many forelg lands for similary study and In comparing observations else where with tose today said In part: 'The conditions were better than during the Sumtnatra eclipse, but not quite so good as In Spain. -where an absolutely clear day prevailed. However, we certainly will get ex cellent results from our work today and expedition is a success and very much worthwhile. We have been amply repaid for the trip." Begin Five Minute Early. The first contact reported from the five inch equatorial by Mr. Ham mond and flashed to the naval ob servatory at Washington, was at IJJ forty-six minute and fifty-five sec onds past ' 2 o'clock, five seconds earlier than figured, due t a slight error in computation of the moon's position. According to Dr. Mitchell the first contact of eclipse in Spain was ten seconds early, showing closed cal culation in the present Instance than then.! In calling the first contact. Mr. Hammond said. "A solar moun tain I has taken the first bite out of the moon." The naval observatory work was under the direction "f J. C. Ham mond, assisted t.7 C. C. Wylle and W. W.

Visual observation was made by Dr. George H. Peters of the naval observatory, who. while he has trav eled all over teh world (fudylng eclipses, today for the forst time ac tually witnessed one, on the previous occasion having operated Instru inents In dark rooms. Special stduy of the corona lights was made by Edward Adams anl Kempton Adams of New Work, and Howard Russell Butler an oil painter of Reno, who came from Princeton, N. J. . and made a study of the colors of the corona, listening sev eral hundred varyinsf shades by a short hand system of numbering. Dr. P. W. Merrill of the bureau of standards also confined his work to the study of the corona light ef fect. KT1JPSK EXTREMELY DARK. GO LD EN DALIT, Wash., June 8. The total eclipse or the sun came at .Goldendale today on schedule time and all the things that the members of the Lick party of astronomers rep resented would happen, occurred ex actly as predicted. The first con tact was announced by Dr. John F. Rrashear of Pittsburg. Pa., at 41 minutes and 30 seconds past 2 o'clock. Dr. Brashear operated a focus telescope at the Lick station. The contact was visible to people with their smoked glasses about five minutes afterwards. The hqur following the denoting of the first contact was an anxious period for Dr. William Wallace Campbell, director of the station, his associate astronomers and guests as clouds kept rolling .up over the sun until about ten' minutes before the period of totality occurred. At this time a clear space was formed around the eclipse at three minutes and thir ty seconds .before 4 o'clock .all as sociates operating the 14 Instruments in place at the. station were ordered to their places and at 3:59 Mrs. Jo seph H. Moors started to count off the seconds of the period of totality. A number of guests who have been with other Lick experiments pro nounced the corona of the eclipse here today the most beautiful Eiey had ever seen. Dr. Campbell said the eclipse here today was the darkest one that he had observed in the six expeditions of which he has been a member. Ten plates were used In the big forty-foot astronomical camera operated by Dr. Campbell himself, the big camera being focused directly on the corona. About thirty j five other exposures were made of various nhases of the phenomena surrounding the eclipse. WAITING OOMK3 TO NAUGHT. DENVER, June 8. Astronomers from the staff of the Terkes obser vatory of the University of Chicago and other "observatories were gath ered at the University of Denver to day to make observations of the total eclipse of the sun found that their elaborate preparations went for naught as a result of heavy clouds, which covered the sky during the greater part of the eclipse. The cloud bonk arose shortly be fore the eclipse began and the sun did not break through until 50 min utes after the eclipse had passed tot ality. The scientists swallowed their dls appointment and deserting their in struments gathered in the observa tory yard to observe the color effect on the clouds of the approaching darkness. When the eclipse was total and a sepulchre-like pallor spread, deepening Into such darkness that automobile headlights were lighted, a brilliant electrical storm was vis ible in the mountains many miles to the southwest. When the sun finally broke through the clouds, 6:05 p. m.. only the upper left hand corner of the sun was obscured by the moon and telescopic photographs were taken, but Dean Herbert A. Howe of Den ver university, who directed the work here, said the observations were of little lmrrtane as the prlnHpal data sought could be obtained by ob servations made only when the eclipse was total. EXDS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA. ORLANDO. Fla.. June R. Th solar eclltje was total here at 6:40 o'clock this evening and visitors from several states were here to wit ness the phenomena.

FOX PARTY PUMPS NEXT TO LADD & BUSH BANK The A Wonderful Romance BETWEEN THE ACTS I often have pondered over the certainty that almost any mature person In a thcktrc audiiuc has liv ed or is living through a drama as thrilling as that portrayed for their amusement. The thought gripped me anew as the curtain rose on the quaint, highroad setting for the first -Jd aqi pu .jUsaieiioji..

To me, 'whose nerves were still Jangling with the discovery or the identity of the woman who appeared, to hold f-o high a place In Dicky's re gard, the problem of young lovers ap peared very trivial. "She's worrying now because she can't get married." 1 said to myself grimly. "How will she feel mhen she begins to wonder why she ever did take such a step?
