" It sprang again, and the trainer once more went down, but this_time he managed to get his .| arms around the beast’s neck and wrestle ‘with it. Thus he kept away from the claws, but the lion, snap- ping from side to side, bit through both his cheeks. Meanwhile there was much excite- ment among a large group of actors and actresses who had assembled to watch the picture in the making. Sev- eral of-the women fainted, and others ran away shrieking. No one secmed to know what to do until one of the camera men seized a fire extinguisher and shot the acid contents into the ast’s mouth and ey This haltéd {ts wttack for a moment, but then it shook its great head and prunced back upon Cahill, this time ripping his chest. g = A Daring Rescue. John C. Abbott, Ji., a stage carpen- _ter, was working outside the hnilding when “the screams of the wormen reached his ears. Te realized that somethiing probably had happened to the lion act, and ran within, grabbing as he went a long-handled ax. Several persons tried to restrain Ab- hott, but he pushed them aside, opencd the door of the cnge and ran at the lion with his ax. Before the animal recovered from its surprise Abbott bat | ted it'on the head and it backed away from the prostrate Cahill. ~ Abhoif swung again ond landed on the bheast’s skull.” This partially stunned it and a third blow laid it out heiplesz, Then ! the carpenter seized Cahill’s legs and i dragged him to safety outsile the cage. Eats Ground Glass Evidence. _San Francisco.—Jack, the office boy at City Food Administrator Pond’s of- fice, felt a gnawing in his innards and proceeded to dispose of about half a ke, all the evidence of a “glass-in- the-food” plot. When officials of the office discovered the disappearance of the cake they worried, and when they learned that Jack had eaten it they forthwith had a few fits. But the next day Jack came to work just as healthy as ever, | TURNS ON" TRAINER, .grounds. HAVE PLANNED MODEL TOWNS Benuty‘n Well as Utility Considered by Architects Bullding Homes for War Workers. Nearly all the towns being bullt in the vicinity of war plants will be per- manent. So. permanent houses of & type satisfactory to the best skilled t labor- will be built, 100 here, 1,000 there, and as high as 10,000 in one or/ two towns and covering whole square miles of vacant countryside with pret- ty « little - houses, boarding - places, ‘atores and theaters, paved streets and all utilities, expertly .laid out by the foremost town ' planners and archi- ‘tects” in * America: Haste is the main thing in these new towns, but beauty and good taste have not been forgotten. Planned and built as they are by able men in single large .operations, they will show to Amerl- cans many of the best examples of harmonious ‘real -estate developments “we have yet seen—by far the best houising and. neighborhood: conditjons. that Amerlcan labor has yet enjoyed. The operation- at Camden, - for in- stance, will have 2,000 little houses in groups, all in pure and varied cotonial|- architecture, designed by ‘Electus D.

The f.ong Arm of Mercy " By DR. FRANK CRANE , ‘ The Red Cross is the Long Arm of ‘Mercy. It is the Kindness of Mankind—organized. In Man is an Angel and a Devil, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Red Cross is the Good, aroused, energized to - thwart the Bad.ii It is the best antidote: we knowe to the bane of war, " There are other Charities, more or less helpful. The Red Cross is the mightiest of all Charities; the Love and Pity of all men made supremely efficient.: - 'If, as Emerson said, “sensible men- and - conscientious men -all over the world are of one religion,” this is the ex. pression of that religion.” : The Red Cross is Humanity united in Service. It asks no man’s opinion; only:his need.: Black or White, Friend or: Foe, to the Red Cross-there is no difference;- it only asks: “Who is Suffering?” to him it goes. : The -Red :Crossis:so: Efficient that Governments recog- nize it; so Pure in its purpose that whoever wishes well his fellow men, desires to help it; so Clean in its administration that thé most suspicious.can find no fault in it. The Red--Cross-not. only-seeks-to alleviate-the cruelties of War; it'is the expression of those human sentiments that some day will put an end to War. g It is the impulse:of Love, striving to overcome the im- pulse of Hate.: It is Mercy’s co-gperation struggling against War’s ri- valriés. ; L e 7V It-is the one Society in which every Man, Woman and Child should be enrolled; for it-knows no sects, no preju- dices, no.protesting opinionj the human being does not live that does.not feel that.the starving should be fed, the sick tended and the wounded: healed. ; " Majestic and-divine is this Long-Arm of Mercy; it finds the fallen on the battlefield, it brings the nurse and the -physician to the-vietim:in the hospital; it leads the weeping orphan to a home; it.feeds the starving, cares for the pest- smitten whom all others-abandon, andspours the oil of Help and Pity into the bitter wounds of the World. Where a volcano has wrought desolation in Japan, or a Flood in China, or a Hurricane in Cuba, or a Famine in India, or a-Plague in Italy, or ravaging Armies in Poland, Servia or Belgium, there: flies the Red Cross, the Angel of God whom:the fury of men-cannot banish from the Earth; and to the Ends of the Earth; over all the-ways of the Sever: Seas, wherever is Human Misery, there is extended, to bless and to heal, its Long Arm of Mercy.
