nei for cup ef hot cones In ,bel,
wer two factors that led Dr. Gus.
1af Palan, winner of Ui 1913 No
bel prUt, to become a successful
Inventor.
Dr. Dalen as a boy, living in a
humble country home, was required
to arise aarly, but found It hard to
awaken en time. A discarded old
wall-clock was repaired to which
was added an alarm mechanism
with a piece of tlnplata taking the
place of tha bell, lie combined tho
block-work with a little friction
wheel covered with emery paper
that began to rotate 15 minutes be
fore the alarm went off. Friction
against the rough surface of -the
paper lighted a match. ;
The match was attached to a rod
that swung over a gasoline lamp,
the cap of which was simultaneous
ly removed by another contrivance
constructed from a couple of empty
wooden spools and a piece of
string. Over tho lamp he had placed
a coffee' urn containing coffee pre
pared the night before., When the
slumbers of the- little' Inventor,
then 14 years of age, were inter
rupted by the alarm going off the
room was lighted1 and his coffee
was boiling.
It was during Dr. Dolen's ex
periments with gas accumulators
for beacon lights that he lost his
sight through an explosion. His
inventive genius, however, did not
seem to suffer as he has since then
given the world a number of new
inventions and still continues to di
rect the work of his plant In spite
of his blindness.
FEDERAL COUNCIL OF
CHURCHES' PROGRAM
Members, Adherents and Prospects
Are Being Listed For
Planning Work.
Washington, Oct. IS OPi Church
members, adherents and prospects
are being counted and listed to
gauge the coming year's working
program, the federal council of
churches announced today. In re
sponse to the call of the commis
sions of a number of communions,
under the leadership of the coun
cil's commission on evangelism..
"During the past year," said a
pall of the commissions' sent to
thousands of congregations, "there
has developed In the communions
comprising the federal council o
churches an Increased spirit of unity
and a growing uniformity of method
lit the prosecution of their evangel
istic work. The past year has been
marked also by a notable increase
of church membership on confes
sion Of faith, as compared with the
low ebb of the previous year.
"We believe that this growing
unity and common understanding, is,
In some measure, responsible for the
richer harvests eported by tin;
clinches. For these and many other
reasons, the commission on evangel
lam is led to believe that the time
has arrived for the adoption of a
common program to be presented by
the evangelistic agencies of the sei
eral denominations to their "consti
tuencies, with the strong expectation
I hat all the churches will ,1oln in
carrying It out. adapting it to their
several noeds but adhering to lis
cardinal features."

DAYS' SPENT IN POVERTY
French .Twlgr Kills Wife and Mece,
Then Takes His Own
Life. '
Jolyy. Department of Tonne,
France, Oct. 23. (fP) Under a burden
f seventy years and seeing want
and misery staring him in the face,
Judge Ernest La Blanc, who' was
aliotu to be retired from the bench",
hanged himself in his office here

three years old, end his niece, Miss
Louise Kollon, sn orphan,' sged

This Is the hypothesis of the poT
lice. The judge was supposed to
have gone to his home near Char-lons-Sur-Marne
three weeks ago.
The clerk of the court having to
submit a legal document to the
iudge endeavored to get Into com
munication with him. Being unable
to do so the cJSrk csme to Jolgy.
The shutters of the judge's home
were- drawn and the clerk alarmed,
notified the police.
Breaking in a door the police
o.nd the clerk found . the judg
hanging from a hook In his office
and the bodies of his wife and niece
on a bed upstairs. Physicians were
unable to say what was .the' exact
cause of death, but they expressed
the belief that It was due to strangu-
latlon. .
The judge's pension would have
been '4.1100 francs a year less than
I0f. He was too feeble to add to
this sum by work.
