Strange Dog May Have
Been Aboard Lost Ship
New Bedford, Mass., Jan. 24.TDr.
Parker 'P.. Slocomb has been 're
quested by a relative, customs of
ficer at Halifax, N. S to ascertain
whether there was a dog aboard the
ill-fated schooner T. W. Allen,
which sailed from this port and is
believed t have been lost in a storm
at sea.
A strange dog has been seen about
the shore near Harb'orville, N. S.,
where wreckage, believed to have
been a part of the schooner, was
washed ashore, several days ago.
The animal appears to be looking
for something and will permit no
one to come near him. No one for
miles around that part of the coast
ever has seen the dog before.
Dr. Slocomb was in Nova Scotia
a few weeks ago, and it was he, by a
peculiar coincidence, who discovered
the wreckage of what is supposed, to
have- been a New Bedford vessel.
The Allen sailed from New Bed
ford November 19, bound for St.
Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, with
a crew of 20 and besides six passen
gers aboard.
Big Demand for Movies of '
Carpentier-Beckett Bout
London, Jan. 24. From all quar
ters of the globe except America
comes -wholesale and clamorous de-
wand for the films of the Carpentier
Beckett fight, in spite of the fact
that it lasted only 74 seconds. ,
l'addcd out with training camp
scenes, the film has been rebuilt as
a drama of which the 74 seconds is
merely the climax. America doesn't ,
buy, the producers report, because
fight films re not permitted there.
-v-
Paris, Jan. 24. Ill-fortune has at
tended statesmen intimately asso
ciated with the framing of the treaty
of Versailles in .the opinion of
Premier David Lloyd George of
Great Britain, according to a news
paper article published here.
Mr. Lloyd George was so con
vinced Georges Clemeneeau would be
the nekt president of the French re-
, public that he considered the race
over. Therefore when he heard of
the election of Paul, Deschanel as
president he could not refrain from
expressing his astonishment.
, "Who could have expected such
a reversal of form?" he ejaculated
, when the result was announced.
In conversation with a member of
ihe Chamber of Deputies, the Brit
ish premier is said to have expressed
an opinion that the "peace treaty
was hard luck for anyone having a
: hard in it"
"Yes" the deputy is quoted as re
plying, "Premier Orlando is out of
office; Premier Clemeneeau is a?ain
, in private life and President Wilson
has met with reversal in Washing
ton. Only you have been spared."
"Yes, and in less than six months
, it will be my turn," is the reply at
tributed to the British leader.
POLICE LOOK FOR
MISSING FATHER
OF QUADRUPLETS
20 Year Old Mother Stranded
With New Bom.
Children.
, By Universal Service.
Oakland, Cal, Jan. 24. Deserted
by the father of her four little
.quadruplet daughters born at the
i Beulah rest home of the Salvation
' Army in East Oakland last night, is
the plight of a 20-year old girl
mother. Police throughout the state
are making every effort to locate the
; 22-year-old father of the babes, who
' is said to have formerly been a
civiliai employe of the Mare Istand
navy yard. He disappeared from
' the navy yard twa months ago.
The name ot the father and
.; mother is known only to the police
'and the officials in charge of the
-home. The young mother's first
' name is Anna and she declared to
day that she will not marry her be
trayer if he is found or seeks to
make amends at this late date. "
" Won't Marry Father.
?; "The babes are mine alone," she
declared. "I don't want any man for
a husband who will desert his un
born babes." N
Anna was 20 one month ago. She
says she met the father of her ba
bies through a friend of her's who
was keeping company with N his
brother. She trusted the friend,
she says, and thought the new ac
quaintance was "a nice young man."
The three surviving quadruplets
the fourth died at birth were
flourishing, apparently, today. They
are tiny girls and they have been
' named Dorothy, D( ris and Dora.
" ' Mother Is Spanish.
DorOthy was born first, weighs
four and a half, pounds and is
. marked with a pink ribbon, Doris
wears a blue ribbsn and Dora a
;;;white ribbon.
The girl mother is the eldest of
. ',hine children. She is of Spanish ex-
traction and very dark. Several
months ago she came to the Beulah
, rest home and told of her plight.
' She said she had been deserted by
tht man who promised, to marry
, her. "The matron at the home took
her in. She was made comfortable
and kept in good spirits and she
toiled daily with needle and silks
, , and embroideries. She hoped for
fca daughter and selected "the name

I First Electrically-Driven
j Motorcycle Minus Noise
h Ipswich. Englana, Jan. 24. What
'.' is claimed to be the first electrical
i ly-driven motorcycle was listed here
" recently. There was an entire ab
f sence of noise and vibration.
The motive power is contained
in a battery of cells which are en
' closed in case about 18 inches
; square. This acts as a seat for
the passenger, who sits with his
; head on a level with that of the
driver.'
I The starting and stopping devices
are of the simplest character, and
the battery can be recharged from
an ordinary electric light plug.
J The horsepower is two and a
half, and the machine proved to be
a good hill climber on a greasy
i road. Under normal conditions it
-will run at a speed of about 12
4 miles an hour for 24 hours before
t recharging is necessary.
The invention is the outcome of
a bet between an electrical engineer
and a motorcar manufacturer, and
as it is a success,' it has been pat-
ented.. It cannot, however, be
t made as cheaply as the ordinary
cycle and sidecar .t, present, and
the cost of electric energy is said
I to Se greater than that of petrol.

Sacred Frescoes
New York, Jan. 24. (Special
Telegram.) Here is a man who
works for the love of art, and who
turned down an offer of $200,000
rather than leave unfinished the
frescoes he had vowed to make in
the Greek church of the Holy Trini
ty before returning to Greece.
He is Theodore Tsavalas, who
came here from Greece 11 years ago
to do sacred paintings on which he
is now engaged at no salary. t He
receives a bare subsistence.
Yet, when a letter came from
Greece offering him a sum unheard
of to him if he would return to
adorn St. Johns church in Mara
thon, he briefly replied:
"Tell them I shall be glad to
come when I have finished here
tour years from now,"

High Schools and Medical
Colleges' for Chinese Girls
Great Educational Plans of the Baptists Incorpor
ated In Their New World Movement School In
' Mothercraf i ' Opened . In Huchow Church Now
Has 265 Schools In Celestial Empire. ,
By HORTENSE M'DONALD.
New York, Jan. 24. Furthering a
general plan of education with par
ticular emphasis on academic train
ing for women, the Northern Bap
tist convention has planned to es
tablish in China at least five new
high schools for girls and provide
them with adequate buildings and
with equipment necessary to meet
the demands of modern education.
Only one woman in every 350
in China can read. In order to
overcome the illiteracy the govern
ment has recently approved of a
simplified phonetic alphabet of 39
characters. Bu the study of this
alphabet an illiterate person can
now learn to read and write in six
weeks.
Chinese Girl Schools.
Missions are laying great stress
on the importance of educating
women in the Orient. "An intelli
gent womanhood is absolutely nec
essary to the permanent regenera
tion and Christianization of China,"
the field survey of the new world
movement , of Northern Baptists
states. .
According to the program mapped
out, the denomination will not only
establish new high schools for girls,
but will increase the number of
primary schools until there is at
lease one in every village where there
is a church or an established preach
ing station.
Ultimately it is proposed to build up
a system of schools in each of the
three- mission fields, so co-ordinated
and graded that boys and girls
from Christian homes, beginning at
the primary grades, and on through
the university course, may secure a
complete education and training,
conducted under Christian auspices.
Plans have been approved for
sending out trained instructors
whose experience in American col
leges has fitted them for the gigan
tic task of standardizing and cor
relating the missions' educational
system in China. Teachers qualified
to serve as supervisors are particu
larly needed, it is said.
Woman's Medical School.
The Northern Baptist are co
operating with other denominations
in the development of institutions
of higher education, such as col
leges, universities and medical
schools. "In this way only can we
Women Like Arctics, But
Not for Street Wear
Columbus, O., Jan. 24. Arctics
have become popular among Co
lumbus women.
Not for street wear, however,
v Foirr-buckled arctics are being sold
by local dealers to women who wear
them to keep their feet warm while
driving autos.
"Elderly persons are the only ones
who will wear arctics on the street
It is hard enough to get young
women to wear rubbers, let alone
arctics," said one shoe merchant

survey states.
A concrete example of this co
operation of the churches in behalf
of the uneducated masses in China
is cited in the plan of the various
women's boards to found a union
medical college , for women at
Shanghai. At Huchow a school in
mothercraft has been opened, the
first of its kind in. China. There are
Bible training schools for women
at NingpO and Shaohsing, and a
union school of higher grade at
Nanking. '
The Baotist schools in China
number 265 with an enrollment of i
8,455 pupils. The government is
gradually raising its standards of
education as its system develops
and the mission schools are assum
ing increasing responsibilities.
