Compulsory th rif t is to be taught th e A m erican soldier if Secretary of the Treasury M c A d o o has l i is way. The planoi the Secretary, which pro­vides for allotm ent of at l e a s t $15 a m onth, half their pay, by members of the Am erican arm y for the bene­fit of dependents, has o f f ic ia l ly b een approved by President Wilson.

This is a distinct victory for tiie Treasury head over his colleague,Secretary o f C o m m e r c e J R e d f i e l d , a n d

the insurance experts w ith whomth e p lan s fo r caving lo r the d epend­ents of soldiers has been aiscussed*

McAdoo argued th a t it wouldteach tbe troops th rift and also aid m aterially in discipline if all were compelled to set aside a portion of the ir pay, which is more than is paid in any arm y except the Canadian. Canada pays her soldiers $1.10 a day.

The insnranee experts held tha t th is was confiscation and an invas­ion of the rights of the soldiers. They refused to indorse the plan.

General Pershing aud the officers now serv ing in F ran ce recom m end­ed to the W ar Departm ent that some such action be taken . The A m eri­can so ld ier w aste tlie ir pay, they re­ported, and in consequence there is much work for the P rovost G uard and a lessening in d iscip line follow­ing the paying off of the troops each m outh .

Secretary McAdoo’s plan providesfo r a m in im um a llo tm e n t of $15 per m onth by each soldier, with an ad­ditional allowance for eacii child. I n ad d itio n to th is a llo tm e n t o u t of the soldier’s pay, the Government would give allowances ranging from $5 to $50 according to the ex ten t of the soldier’s allotm ent and to the num ber of children and other de­p en d en ts .

A p riv .a te jn a k iu g a $15 |dlptm e$£ would be fu rther aided by an al­lowance of $32.50 per m onth from th e Government, m aking the to tal am ount received by the dependent fam ily $47.50. The allotm ents and the allowances scale upward in pro­portion.

Under the plan there is a provis- on u n d e r w hich the so ld ie r whodoes not allo t half of his pay can be compelled to deposit with the Gov­ernm ent the difference between what he does allot aud a full halt. This deposit would bear in terest a t 4 percent compounded semi-annually

The purpose of this is to enable the soldier to build up a fund to pay in­surance premiums aud other obliga­tions. This is the feature which the insurance companies particularly objects to in Mr. McAdoo’s plan.

The plan also includes a compen­sation system in event of total dis­ability am ounting to from $40 to $75 per m onth, according to size of fam­ily, for the private soldier, up to $200 a m outh for officers. P a it dis­ability compensation is worked out on a percentage basis.

Secretary McAdoo made it plaiu th a t In supplem enting the enforced fam ily allotm ent, which is compul­sory only fer wife aud children be­low the age of eighteen, the Gov­ernm ent makes it an incentive to the soldier to allot more than half of his pay.

V oluntary allotm ents for depend­ent parents*are met by the Govern­m ent paying a sum twice the amount set aside by the soldier.

•Avere on the job and they were no respecter of persons. All day the girls were about and when the proceeds were counted a t u ight it was found th a t the they had raised the handsom e sum of $105.75.

Throughout the day the principal event was selling tags. A fter supperI. C.

U pon th e ir a r r iv a l h e re the even ing’8 program began. The baud played a couple of selections in front of the postofflce and then proceeded to Grange hall where the speaking, etc., was held. The hall was taxed to its utmost capacity and it was es­tim ated tha t fully one hundred peo­ple could not find even standing loom.

As soon as the crowd had become seated the m eeting was called to or­der by Dr. Billings, the chairm an, who in a few well chosen words, explained the mission of the Red Red Cross society. H e was follow­ed by singing Am erica by tbe baud and audience. Rev. Mr. W ard of­fered prayer after which Rev. Mr. Zinck was introduced. Mi. Zinck was full of patriotism snd soon had his hearers cheering and applaud­ing very lustily . ‘ Mr. Zinck was followed by Rev. Mr. Rodney who gave a stirring address on the war and the g rea t work th a t was being carried on by the Red Cross. Mr. Rodney was followed by Rev.

You can follow any one of three different w ays of judging motor car values and prove conclusively that it is better to buy Saxon "Six’* than a car costing $ 2 0 0 or $300 more.

For instance, if you are going to pick the car you buy on the basis o f its quality consider these facts:

Saxon “Six” has a Continental motor of six cylinders, Timken axles, Timken bearings, Strom- berg carburetor, Rem y ignition, Fedders radiator, Spiral Bevel gear, Semi-floating axle, Exide storage battery, W agner start­ing and lighting system, and W arner Steering gear, as eleven of its important features.

Yqu will fipd tw o or more of tb i^ fea far& b n 14cars, ranging in price from $3000 to $ 1 0 ,0 0 0 .

You will find tw o or more of these features on 2 2 cars ranging in price from $1350 to $3000.

You will find tw o or more of these features on 24 cars ranging in price from $1150 to $2500.

That census show s the quality o f Saxon “Six”. It is a fine car

th r u o u t— d ow n to th e la s t get from 1009to 2 0 0 0 extra milea detail. per set.

Saxon “Six” is sparing o f oil and gas. It forces each atom to de­liver its full mileage. W ith the ordinary care it deserves, your Saxon “Six” should give you twenty miles or more to the gallon of gas.

But it m ay be you are more directly interested in perform- anr -w h at your car can do on the road.

Saxon “Six” is an unusually powerful car. It pulls smoothly at all sr cds—“on high” or “in low .”

It rides the road closely. You feel no sidesway when the speedometer .needle pushes up to the racing- speed i r . u r k .

We ape too much. We gape too much and dallywith red tape too much. We treat too much and cheat too much and -fear to face defeat too much.

We buy too much. We lie too much and snivel and deny too much. We have too much and slave too much, with one foot In the grave too much.

We sit too much. We spit too much, wear shoes too tight to fit too much. We mess too much and dress too much, in sixteen suits or less too much.

We spite too much. We fight too much and seek the great white light too much. We read too much. We speed too much, hit dope and use the weed too much. We drink too much. We prink too much. I think we even think too much. — Oscar Schleif In Health Culture.

Food economists who delight in tell­ing the American people what excellent dishes they can make out of odds and ends usually thrown into the garbage can remind us of the London society woman who went down into the slum districts teaching the poor folk how to make nice soups aud stews out of bones and meat scraps so often thrown to the dogs. The coster women listened patiently for a long time, but at last up jumped Sal Grogan—or was it Mrs. Enery 'Awkins?—and said:

“Now, look ’ere, lidy, hit’s mighty nice 0 ’ yer to come down ’ere and tell us w;ot ter do with old bones and little bits o’ cat’s meat, but wot I wants to know is wot becomes o' the rest o’ the hanimal. Who the ole boy- gets that, and why should they?”—San Francisco Chronicle. •__________

G erm any's G reat Com posers.It is a significant evidence of the ex­

istence of two Germanys, says a recent writer, that not one of the great Ger­man composers was a Prussian. Bach was a Thuringian, Handel a Saxon, Gluck a Bavarian, Mozart a Bavarian, Haydn an Austrian citizen, probably a Croat; Beethoven was born in Bonn of Flemish descent on his father’s side; Weber, although bora in Holstein, was an Austrian; Schubert was an Aus­trian; Schumann a Saxon; Mendelssohn was a Jew, born in Hamburg; Wagner was a Saxon; Brahms -was bom In Hamburg. The same general statement is true of the chief German poets. Mme. Schumann-Heink was bora -in Bohemia, although of German descent. Richard Strauss Is a Bavarian.

Familiar.A woman and her four-year-old son

were on a visit to her brother-in-law in London.

One morning at the breakfast table the undo said to the boy, “Here, Teddy, is something you don’t see in Lan­cashire!” at the same time placing some, small balls of butter in front of him.

“Don’t us, though!” said the boy. ‘There are three balls of butter hang­ing outside' the shop where mother takes our clothes every Monday morn­ing! Ain’t there, mother?” —LondonGlobe:

Scraping a Bat.Baseball players are as superstitious

as Zulus. In-no way is this more lucid­ly illustrated than in the care which some of them lavish upon an ordinary baseball bat. Manufacturers, says the Popular Science Monthly, oil and shel­lac their bats to make them sleek and fresh, and the superstitious baseball player proceeds to use glass, bone, sandpaper and what not to remove the finish. Why? Oh, “just because,” to give a woman’s reason. He may have a notion thut the bat will last longer without ic. But the truth is that the shellac really acts as a preservative of the wood.

Some baseball pluyers imagine that it is impossible to m ake a strong bit with a new hut, because the bat i3 so sleek that the bails glance off it. Others be­lieve that scraping a bat fills up the crevices huti tra ck s aud thus length e n the life of the bat. 4

pleasant and coi.A ri.il.a thing, but when one links humoring with the question of who makes the money it does not seem very ih:tiering to the humorcr or the hum. ivo. And what a lamentable si lit is that of the hu- moree, what deep inequality it implies and whut an u b s m .e of any lea l re­spect or understanding between two people in whoso lives humoring is a part of tho daily routine! When the one to be humored is a woman it may mean that a man lias been forced into the craven part of doing anything for the sake of peace. There aie few con­cessions some men will not make fo avoid a domestic storm. Some unfor­tunate men there are who eveu give up vital friendships, legitimate forms of recx-eation aud even their own in­dividualities in thl3 unworthy cause.”

Brahm s In a Tem per.The late Johannes Brahms, tlie mas­

ter musician, was easily enraged by fulsome flattery and effusive adulation. At a banquet given in Vienna in honor of Franz Liszt and Anton Rubinstein, Brahms carefully avoided the seats of tho mighty and betook himself to the company of the younger musicians, seated “below the sa lt” But this stra­tegic move did not protect him from anenthusiastic young pianist, relates awriter in the Etude, who had resolved to carry off trophies in the shape of a lock of hair from each of the leonine ixeads. Liszt and Rubinstein yielded with a good grace to this Delilah, but Brahms curtly refused. Slipping up behind his chair, she was just, about to realize her wish when Brahms felt the cold point of the scissors and ex­claiming “What arrant nonsense!” rose and left the banquet.

Filipino Women.Women in the' Philippines, from Fill-!

pino to Ifugao and from Kalinga to Moro, have a lot to say about the way things are run.

My first realization of the different status of Philippine womanhood came on the Pacific steamer on which I last returned' to the United States. A young Filipino Wanted to wrestle with some of the Japanese on board. But bis wife was with him, and she feared she would lose a husband in the melee. She vetoed his desire with considerable ease and perfect effectiveness. If she had been a Chinese, Japanese or Indian of the same class her husband would have wrestled as long as he wanted to, or could, and the woman in the case would have kept her mouth shut. Inj Turkey a man doesn’t mention hW daughters. But in the Philippines in several cases I have observed that thei woman holds the purse and the gaveL—■ Christian Herald.

Savage, but Sensible.The Jamamadi tribe of the Amazon

region has a physical test for mar­riage for men which might be' intro­duced with profit to the race into civ­ilized society. The prospective bride­groom must first get consent from hid parents, from tbe girl and her parents and from tbe chief. Then on the mora- '•fig of the wedding' after he has had nis bath in the river he is taken by the chief to a heavy log. The young buck must carry this log on his shoulders a fixed distance. If he is unable to do so he is not allowed to marry. In this way inherited weaknesses and physical defects are eliminated, and a strong, vigorous race is the result.—New York Sun. ______________ __‘ The Welsh language is not closely re­lated to the Irish and Highland Gaelic, but is bf the same branch as the an­cient Cornish and Breton languages.

Yet the navy will take a young man, feed and clothe him, give him a good all around train­ing and while ha is, yet in middle age retire him with at least $60 a month for the rest of his life. No matter how low his rating has been, that $60 a month Is certain after his thirty years of service; while if he has shown mod­erate intelligence and ambition he can count on $lose to $100 a month, and this without his having, ever been a ’ commissioned officer.

nas In T his Country.Andrea Mantegna. the b/L.lant mas­

ter of the Paduan school (1431-1506) was distinguished among (be Italian masters of the renaissance by a plas­tic style which uiade his figures on canvas not so much au expression of paint as of carved marble or molded bronze.

Of all the painters of his time he was generally regarded by critics as being most sensitive to the beauty of rounded form as distinct from outline. Mantegna died hi Mantua in poverty, due not to lack of appreciation, but to his own extravagance.

The works painted by Mantegna, apart from his frescoes and the tem­pera pictures of the “Triumph of Cae­sar,” now hanging in Hampton court, are not numerous. Authorities seem to agree that not more than thirty-five of the so called Manteguas now ex­tant are to be accepted as authentic.

In America there are only three un­disputed Manteguas. One is the “Ad­oration of the Magi,” belonging to the John S. Johnson collection in Philadel­phia; another is the “Madonna and Child” of the Altman collection In the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the third is the “Madonna and Child” of Mrs. Jack Gardner’s collection in Bos­ton.—New York Times.

INVESTING MONEY.W hat One Bank H as to S ay A bout Rea!

E state M ortgages.The president of one of the numerous

savings banks of New York city re­cently had occasion to resort to statis­tics to prove bis contention that real estate mortgage investments made with intelligence, knowledge of eondi- 1 tions and conservatism were the safest | form of investment. His request of ; clerks for figures brought forth the J fact that in the last thirty years his j bank had lent upon real estate secu­rity the enormous sum of $90,000,000 and that a loss of but $35,000 in round figures was incurred in this manipula­tion during all these years.

Thus the bank has invested of depos­itory funds a t the rate of $3,000,000 annually, receiving an average of 5 per cent, or $150,000, in interest and pay­ing its depositors an average of 4 per cent, or $120,000, leaving a balance for the bank of $30,000 annually. Against this surplus there is the comparatively Insignificant charge of $1,500 a year loss during a period of thirty years.

By motor power this ring is made to revolve upon bearings separate from those of the mercury container, but its mag­nets, attracting those on the contain­er’s edge, cause the latter also to re­volve. Centrifugal force compels the mercury to form a concave surface, perfect so long as ffee from jars. This apparatus is sunk in a well fourteen feet deep and set upon a solid founda­tion to eliminate all ordinary shocks.

W hy the Owl Is a N igh t Bird.Birds are often credited with bring­

ing down fire from heaven. In Poly­nesia it was a red pigeon, iu French folklore the wren. The tale runs that ail the other birds - except the owl contributed u single feather apiece to replace the scorched plumage of the wren, so as to keep it warm iu tbe coming winter. For its ill nature the owl was condemned to eternal seclu­sion during the warm day and to per­petual suffering from cold during the night, and tlie other birds maintain tbe punishment by pestering it if it appears in sunshine.—London Lancet.

T w o Men and a Problem.When Lord Rayleigh, the British sci­

entist, was a student a t Cambridge the examiners set among other problems one which they based on an article in a German mathematical periodical sup­posed unlikely to have penetrated to Cambridge. Only two men solved it— Mr. Strutt (Lord Rayleigh) and another. The examiners asked tho other man about this problem. “Oh,” he said, “I take the -— (mentioning the name of the periodical), and I was very glad to find that, thanks to an article in the last number, that problem came out quite easily." When Mr. Strutt's turn came they expected a similar answer, but he astonished them by replying, “The fact if, gentlemen, that I some­times contribute to ---- , and I couldnot help feeling greatly flattered that you should have thought m y little prob­lem worthy of a place in this examina­tion.” He was awarded the prize.

Pantheon and Parthenon.The Parthenon, or what is left of it,

stands upon the Acropolis of Athens. The most famous building on earth was erected under the administration of Pericles about B. C. 442. Its present ruinous condition was caused by the explosion of a bomb during the war between the Venetians and Turks in 1687.

The Pantheon a t Rome was built by Agrippa in B. C. 27 and, unlike the more beautiful temple at Athens, is still In a fair state of preservation.

Sliced Hair.Tommy, a bright little three-year-old,

had just made his first visit to the barber’s and was very dissatisfied upon his return.

“I don’t like my hair curled in this way, all in little curls,” he said.

“How do you wish it?” queried mamma.

“Why, I want it like Uncle Tom’s. I want i t in two slices.”

W hen T im e Hung Heavy.Today, when there is such a premium

on time, one finds it hard to realize the condition portrayed by William Wistar Comfort in the Bookman:

“In its day aud for two or three cen­turies later ‘The Romance of the Rose’ was the most popular work composed in medieval Europe. It consists of about 23,000 eight-syllable verses in the old French original. That forms a very considerable poem. A poem in two volumes would be sufficient in our day to rebuff most readers. But think of copying out in longhand such a poem!

“Time was something to be killed by our ancestors, aud hands were found to copy this endless poem almost 200 times. That is to say, we have near­ly 200 French manuscripts of the ‘Roman de la Rose,’ and that does not account for all those that must have beeu lost in the course of GOO years. However, the figures give us some idea of what medieval literary -popularity was.”

Gqing Over to Peace Comm issi iFormed to D evise M eans iq \ ' iBack Export T rade Lost TfircConflict o f Arms.

Contrary to the genera} belief, < many, during the past three years, not confined her shipbuilding activ! to tbe turning out of submarines : 1 other war vessels. Since the outbreak of the war twenty-eight new freight steamers have been constructed in her shipyards. It is also worthy of note that German steamship offices through­out the neutral world are being kept open for the immediate resumption of business and that recently the clerical staffs in these offices have oefen re­stored to full from half pay,

To the American manufacturer end his employee there is a world of signifi­cance in these correlated statements of fact, Indicating, as they do, tfie extent to which Germany is prepared for the campaign of industrial reconstruction aud the wholesale conquest of world trade markets, which she plans to un­dertake the moment peace has been re­stored. Germany is making ready for the economic war just as carefully as she prepared for the present conflict. Just as every man, automobile, horse and factory in the empire was indexed and given place iu mobilization for ac­tual war, so have certain men, indus­tries and raw materials been indexed today and giran their place in the mo­bilization for German export tradewith the coin ing of peace.

Other N ations May Follow Suit.Nor is it to be supposed that the oth­

er big nations will be behindhand in bidding for world trade after the war to make up for the tremendous trade losses sustained through the conflict. Under pressure of national danger the governments in these- countries have come into closer touch with their man­ufacturers and, having learned the prin­ciples of industrial mobilization, are in a position to, aid those manufacturers in times of peace.

Germany’s'plans for the trade warm ay go astray just a s som e of the fe a ­tures of her military program did dur­ing tlid past three years, but a recital of the active steps she has taken to­ward economic and industrial recon- itru.ction will serve to em p h asize the

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.

B iliousness.What is called “biliousness” is

brought about by too great an intake of food and drink and notenough of ou tgo of energy andexercise.

As to the taking of calomel for “biliousness” a doctor says: “Calomel will give relief. So will aloes or any other purga­tive. But to charge the liver with responsibility is like over­loading a willing horse and then abusing him because he cannot pull it all. Temporary relief can be bad from twelve hours of hunger and purgation.”

As to the cure of this condition the doctor says further: “The cure lies in readjusting the hab­its. The amount of muscle work done must be in proportion to the food’taken. The amount of meat and eggs eaten must not be great­er than is required to repair the • <$> waste in tissue from work, nor <3> the amount of starches, sugars ❖ and fats greater than the require- <e> ments of heat and energy. If <8> one must supply an overgrown. <§> appetite let him fill up on wa- <S> tery fruits and vegetables. If he <$> wants to . eat heavily of richer <$> foods let him earn the right by <j> working in the field or riding <9> horseback. If be would escape <§> constipation let him eat bran, <$■' fruit and vegetables. This con- stitutes the only royal road in <S> biliousness.” ^

strife between wage earners and wage paycrp and unwise business laws.

To begin with, Germany is not on tho verge of bankruptcy. She has no hugefloating in tern ation a l debt, and herwar loans are secured several time.-i over. She has not put such a pressure on her mines that they will be over- weakened when peace comes, nor has she exhausted her Other resources. Un­less conditions are very radically chang­ed by the outcome of the war she will be in an excellent position to wage tlie fight for the recovery of the $5,000,- (M>0.000 worth of world trade she lost through the war.

P lenty of Goods For Export.When the war ends, Germany will

have plenty of goods in a few lines in which she enjoys a superabundance of raw materials to throw back upon the world markets, and she will be able to sell these goods at a very low price. There are factories in Elberfield, Rein- schied, Frankfurt-am-Main and Dus- seldorf today turning out a steady flow, not for the purposes of war, but for peace.

Germany’s preparations for the re­construction period are characteristic­ally thorough. Tlie imperial govern­ment has appointed “The Friedeiisu- bcrgau Kommission,” literally the go­ing over to peace commission, which is headed by Senator Stahmer of the Hamburg parliament. Associated with the latter are the most prominent Ger­man captains of industry and bankers. The plans so far evolved by the Stah­mer commission for the recapturing of Germany’s $5,000,000,000 worth of lost trade are based upon tbe principle thatw hen peace co m es Gcpmany m u st ex ­port cargoes of goodsMbat far exceed in va lu e th e c la ss o f goods she inrports. That will enable her to establish a sub­stantial trade balance.

In her expoi*t activities she will lay most stress on lines such as chemicals, d yestu ffs, hardwire, cutlery and “knick- knacks,” for her available raw mate­rials favor the abundant production of those articles. They will have to im­port copper, nickel, cotton and animal fats and American machinery. On any other commodity it is almost a certain­ty that the Stahmer committee will recommend prohibitive import duties, especially on manufactured articles.

If Germany is to compete successful­ly for world trade, however, it is vital­ly essential that costs be kept down in the manufacture of the chosen articles of export. The imperial order has gone forth that the exporter’s burden be lightened, and all sorts of conces­sions will be made him in the form of preferential railroad rates and cheap inland waterway tolls and ocean freight rates. — Industrial Conservation, New York.

PRISONERS IN CAGES.______ ICurious Form of P unishm ent of the

D ays of Long Ago.Wo do noi nowaouys exhibit caged

offenders lo ihe j.aze of u curious pub­lic, but s'i. h a form of punishment was at one lime more or less common. Whoa the throe great Anabaptist lead- ; ers were executed in Prussia, in 1536. j they wore exposed to the public gaze j in irou cages hung on the walls of the church of St. Lambert, in Munster-am- Stein.

Catherine II. of Russia had her wig- dresser confined to a cage because the bigwigs at court complained th a t the tonsorial gentleman liad big ears, and Edward I. of England caused the Coun­tess of Buchan and the sister of Robert Bruce to be locl^ed up in two large iron cages, w h ic ik ^ re hung on to the tur­ret of tlie i-astlo of Berwick, in 1306.

Alexander the Groat had ( ’ listhenes, tlio Greek philosopher, kept for seven months in an iron cage because the lat­ter denied Alexander's divine right to rule, and for eleven long years the French Cardinal Balue had a unique opportunity of stud> ing a t ’first hand what it feels like to be a c apt ive canary, for Louis XI. ordered him to be impris­oned in au iron cage at Bodies, an the River Indro, for just that period.

And coming down to more recent , times, there was the huge iron cage, mounted on wheels, which the Boers had constructed for the late Cecil Rhodes during tlie South African war, but which Lord French robbed of its intended occupant by turning up so suddenly at Kimberley.—London An­swers.

CHANGED HIS CAREER.H is Friends Fairly C ongratulated Cro­

zier Into th e Army.Congratulations made General Wil­

liam Crozler a soldier. He was a boy at tbe time in Kansas, whither his family had moved from Ohio, and hoped to bo a lawyer.

David 1*. Lowe was the member of congress from his district. Lowe, meet­ing Judge Robert Crozler in tbe street, said:

“I have decided to appoint your son, William, to the Military academy at West Point.”

The judge, having gone home for din­ner, told the news.

"But I don’t want to be a soldier,” William protested.

Word of Congressman Lowe’s inten­tion having spread through the town, all of the Inhabitants, including the maidens, hastened to inform William liow pleased they were over bis good fortune. Old men said they knew that he would be a credit to the community. Physicians, lawyers and ministers praised his manly bearing and studious habits.

And so William Crozier, listening in silence, which was interpreted as mod­esty, gradually passed from reluctance to eagerness and entered West Toint with a high pitch of enthusiasm.

General Crozier is a chemist, engi­neer, metallurgist and manufacturer, and the disappearing gun carriage he invented is used In the fortifications that guard the coasts of the two oceans.—Boston Globe.
