WANTS MONEY TO GO
She Seattle Post-Intelligencer of re
cent date carries a story which shows
that some “young mother* in Seward
is looking for money to got out. It
might be better to say here that then
is no destitution in Seward whatever
and the story might leave a false im
pression. The following is the story
in the Post-Intelligencer:
(;OOI> FELLOWS
HAVE OIM'ORTIMTV
Young Mother in Seward in Destitute
C ircumstances Needs Money to
tiring Her to Friends Here
That the reputation of the Hood
Fellows of Seattle extends far beyond
the city’s boundaries i> evidenced by
the appeal for their aid which came
today from Seward. Alaska.
t’p in Seward there is a young
mother, destitute and without employ
ment. who has asked the Hood I* el
lows to make it possible for her to
come to Seattle, where she has friends
who will aid her as best they can and
where opportunities for obtaining em
ployment are more plentiful than in
Sew;> d. Her husband obtained a di
vorce because of parental objections
to their marriage ami left her with a
small child to support.
Hood Fellows who wish to aid this
mother will find a kind-hearted wom
an. a resident of Seattle for many
years, at Apartment No. :’»2. The
Waverly, Fourth Avenue and Olive
Street, who will receive their contri
bution." and see that they are used to
the best advantage. The need is for
funds to buy a ticket from Seward to
Seattle and a small reserve to help
the mother after she gets here would
r.ot come amiss.
Another case, this time close at
home, is awaiting (lood Fellow’s at
tention. An invalid husband and a
wife who is too ill to earn anything
(f.r their support need money to pay
rent on their small home. Neighbors
living nearby have provided groceries,
clothing and fuel, but are not able to
care for the added burden of rent.
Information concerning the need may'
be obtained or contributions left at
127 Nineteenth Avenue.
HOW THE ZEPPELIN
PELL NEAR LONDON
CUFFLEY, (near Enfield),Sunday,
Sept. 5.—On the edge of dawn this
morning l was standing in a small
field on the outskirts of Cutfley Wood
conversing with one of our airmen,
by the smoking, evil-smelling ruins of
the smashed and obliterated “Zeppe
lin’*—a strange, nightmare sight in
such pastoral and sublimely peaceful
surroundings.
Dead men, burnt, and battered be
yond human semblance, lay around in
weird attitudes. They were German
dead, but the picture of them as they
lay there among the unspeakable
wreckage, swathed and bronzed like
mummies ravished from some ancient
tomb, was sufficiently poignant to
-trike a note of pity in the heart
pity. though they were Germans.
Up the hill, down the hill, and
across the fields the people were still
streaming. The narrow lane running
alongside the held was chock-a-block
with motor-cars, motor omnibuses,
traps, donkeycarts. farm wagons—
every conceivable kind ot vehicle.
How they got there and where they
came from entirely beggars descrip
tion, for the smoking wreck of the
great airship lay miles from any main
railway—and this, remember, was a,
Sunday morning. The whole scene
resembled a Gargantuan IVrbv Hay.
What the Fight Was lake
l*ut to the tight. Most of the in
habitants of the Home Counties saw it
and marvelled. Following a sullen
day of drenching rain, there came a.
night of airless calm, and everything '
l was wrapped in a bewildering mantle1
of mist. Karthward, it was unusually
heavy and dense, but there was a
glimmer of stars high overhead,
dimmed now and again by drifting
clouds.
Shortly after two o’clock, and flying
at a tremendous height, three Zeppe
lins appeared. A questing search
light picked out one over the north
ern heights at about ten minutes past

two. Then came the roar of guns,
which wakened everybody; and folf
lowing that, the hornet-hum of our
Attacking aeroplanes. It was a peri
lous night for these birds to rise, for
the ground-mist was almost blinding,
und st* thick as to baffle any sense of
direction.
There she swung, engines silent, at
n height of about 12,000ft. The sword
of ,the searchlight flickered around her
for a moment or two and then held
her in gleaming vice. She wriggled
to escape it, and aimed for a cloud as
the shrapnel began to burst around j
her in steel-blue flashes and the guns
hammered from below.
She looked very much like a red-hot
cigar at this period of her adventure.
She wriggled anti wriggled, and then
she came down for a few hundred
feet.
Kntranced Crowds
Entranced, the crowds were watch
ing the “tireworks”. The monotony
of bursting shrapnel, the swish and
the dicker of roving searchlights,
were suddenly varied. A red-hot ci
gar, asjhe raider semed to
marvellously and spelndidly burst in
to !':imes, changing from a glow of
gold into a deep and magnificent cri
mson. That was the end.—London

SIR Mil’ll I R EV \NS ON
THE EARLIEST EIKH KS
"The .-till passionless domain of the
Past which lies behind the limits even
of historic controversies” was the sub
ject of Sir Arthur Evans’ presidential
address at the opening of the Pritish
Association at Newcastle.
Profes.-or Evans, our greatest ar
chaeologist, described the latest
searches for the fountain-head of civi
lization. Even the Palaeolithic Age,
he pointed out. was a long way from
Eve. Ten thousand years before the
most ancient monuments of Egypt or
Ohaddaea (“a modest estimate”)
• women clad from the waist down
ward.- in well-cut gowns” performed
sacred dances; according to a picture
left in a rock-shelter, the same skirt
ed dancers have supplemented their
dresses by sashes, while another rock
painting shows them with still long
er gowns rising to their bosoms.
Coming to more modern times and
to the subject of his own world-fam
ous researches, JSir Arthur pointed out
that Crete is the cradle of our Euro
pean civilization, and dated it at
some P.000 years P. C. There in this
miil-sea land European culture rose
to a wonderful height in the fourth
millennium. “New and refined arts
developed, some of them, like that of
the inlaid metal work,” never sur
passed. The great palaces show on •
their walls the highest artistic skill.
“The modernness of much of the
life revealed is astonishing. The
elaboration of the domestic arrange- ,
ments, the staircases story above A
story, the front places given to the
ladies at shows, their fashionable ,
flounced robes and jackets, the gloves |
sometimes seen on their hands or ,
hanging from their folding chairs, |,
their very mannerisms as seen on tin*
frescoes, pointing their conversation
with animated gestures — how
strangely out of place would it all ap
pear in a classical design! Nowhere,
not even at Pompeii, have more living
pictures of ancient life been called up
for us than in the Minoan Palace of
K nossos.
“Tlit* touches supplied by its clos-;
ing scene are singularly dramatic—
the little bathroom opening out of tin*
queen's parlour, with its painted clay
bath, the royal draughtboard flung
down in the court, the vessels for an
ointing, and the oil par for their hil
ling ready to hand by the throne of
the priest-king, with the benches of
his consistory round and the sacred
gritlins on either side.”
The president closed with a power
ful appeal for the cause ot education.
“The bulk of our people remain in in
tellectual apathy. The dull inertia of
the parents is reflected in the child
ren,, and the desire for the acquire
ment of knowledge in our schools and
colleges is apparently loss than else
where.” But Sir Arthur was hopeful.
“Can we doubt that out of the cruci
ble of fiery trial a new England is
already in the moulding?”
Sir Charles Parsons, the steam tur
bine engineer, was nominated as the
president next year, when the associa
tion meets at Bournemouth. —Ex.
