Cautious patrons sought the nearest exits, and firemen from three companies dashed In prepared, tis always, to do or die. A half hour later, the fire extinguished, the show went on. Had the audience stayed through the. excitement and the supposed danger? The adults hadn't, but the small Hbys who filled the gallery when the fire began were still there when the picture was resumed. It was a "Western." of course; a rip-roaring, hard-shooting "Western" with muscular hero. Incredibly Intelligent horse, sneering villain and golden heroine. It was, as Stevenson said of "Treasure Island," "all the old romance retold exactly la. the ancient way." They loved It so well that danger could not drive them away. Whnt would Tom Mix say if he saw a fellow run from a little fire? Stick It out, pard! WOMAN STUDIES HAREM SECRETS fnA Peephole m A*ci«nt Seraglio Palace.

Cub <» Cow - for ^our use--/vew each month Berlin Business Men Forced to Exercise Berlin Is rapidly becoming a city of fences In the truest sense of the word. Busy squares are being fcnced in; low wire fences are being erected between the tracks of the street cars, where they run on a strip of grass in the center of the road; everywhere substantial metal fences are being put up. This is done to force the pedestrian to cross certain squares and thoroughfares only at specially marked corners. The population, however. Is not exactly grateful to the authorities for thus taking care of them, for the fences smack too much of the old Prussian discipline. Not infrequently it happens that a man who has to catch a train or who Is otherwise In a hurry jumps a fence and thus ninny a sedate business man is gradually acquiring considerable athletic skill. --sKxchjnge. Ladies' Thing* He Is one of the few males at a New Jersey coast resort, and he is having the time of his seven-year-old life playing around the hotel and its private beach. While their children absorb sun rays and dirt, the mothers seem to do little but sit on the veranda smoking, talking and playing bridge. The other day the seven-year-old boy happened to be near when his mother expressed a need. "Junior," she said, "please go get mother her cigarettes and matches.!' "Aw, mother," said the little man. "don't make me walk out here before everybody with those ladies' things," York Sun. ' - -- * Electricity CorroSfet Corrosion of pipe lines that carry oil has perplexed scientists for some time, but bureau of standards investigators, after a number of tests, have announced that they are of the opinion the action is due to electricity. Running through soils where the ground is of different chemical composition and of varying moisture con tent, the pipe is subjected to the results of a discharge and a collect Ing of electrical current at different points. The earth. In other words, becomes a sort of huge battery of cells formed by the different soil sections.-- Popular Mechanics Magazine. >' Beet Cast ' - ftmr was spending hi In the country, where his constant companion was a sturdy black Shetland Sony that possessed that wellknown pony trait of always trotting twice as fast on the homeward trip as on the outbound way.

She is Or. Barnette Miller, baud of the history department of Wellesley college, who returned to Stamhoui this year to complete the investigations she began In 1907. Aided by a young Turkish girl, Alefyrouke lianera, a member of the staff of Constantinople College for Women, Doctor Miller is the first American to delve deeply Into the shadowy history of the vast 600-year-old palace where Turkish padlshahs and sultans and their hundreds and thousands of slaves lived hidden lives. The American investigator discovered in her prowlings through the palace that there existed one peephole by which the women of the harem could look upon men other than their sultanlc master and their guardian eunuchs. High in the wall of the palace mosque woere the sultan and his masculine followers worshiped, Doctor Miller found a tiny window covered with a golden lattice and discovered that this window connected with the room In the harem where the women gathered to pray. During her final Investigations this year Doctor Miller was given permission by the new republican Turkish authorities to enter every one of the hundreds of palace rooms save one. No human except the sultans, not even the sultan-smiting, rellgluu-defy- 1ng Mustapha Kemal, has ever entered t^ai sanctum sanctorum where the beard of the Prophet reposes. Outside the heavily barred window of that roon. 40 turbaned priests. In groups of four, chant prayers from the Koran day and night, yeaf #£u>r year, century after century. > •-- 6. • ^ ^ - -j. .i:;. New Method to Aid Deaf Is Being Taught Los Angeles, Calif.--Extraordinary results of a method whereby children bora deaf are taught to speak and to "hear" by Up reading were ^disclosed at the demonstration school of the University of California at Los Angeles. The new method, according to Miss1 Rachel Dawes, a demonstration school teacher, presages the abandonment of the sign language. The course of study includes lip reading, spelling, wlrltlng, reading, number and langauge work In addition to tongue gymnastics, the last of twhlch forms the most important part of the work. "Music, too. Is an important factor in arousing the child's consciousness of vibration," Miss Dawes said. "Being unable to hear, the children must be taught how to take the correct positions for language sounds, which we call tongue gymnastic work.' They must know where to put the tongue and how to give voice and breath for sound. Ten sound and syllable combinations have been learned* by the children to date."
