AMERICA NEEDS ALL OF ITS INDUSTRIES FOR WAR AND PEACE No Such Thing in the United States as Nonessential EVIL OF NEGATIVE ECONOMY. Preparation for After War Competition Necessary — Give Munitions Shops and Military Supplies Preference, but Don't Cause Involuntary Idleness, Which Will Demoralize Prosperity. No factory should be closed and no person should be deprived of work as long as the products can find a market unless other work can be found for the plant and the toilers, which is of more importance to the nation. There are no sue bithings as nonessentials in our industries. Some are needed, more than others, but all serve some purpose, if no more than to please the eye. If work can be found for all in producing foods, clothing, munitions of war, ships and other things of prime necessity which help win the war let them have precedence, but avoid causing involuntary Idleness. To hold and increase our foreign trade the industries that supply goods export must not be disorganized or we shall be at the mercy of our competitors when peace is restored. England, wisest of nations in trade affairs, is doing all that is possible, to maintain her foreign trade and supplant her enemies in international markets and while doing so is not attacking her own interests without taking others into account. This policy is not conflicting with her efforts to win the war. When a workman is idle the community loses his value as a producer and the cost of supporting him. It makes no difference whether he is fed by relatives or friends or in a public institution or by unorganized charity or by his spending part or all of his savings, the double loss is the same. Idleness is the worst waste. We must practice economy, but, as President McGarrard of the Mechanics and Metals Bank of New York says: "I'll advised and impetuous economy, meaning unemployment and closed factories, would be demoralizing. It is evident, to every thinking man that business must be sustained and the conversion of industry carefully brought about whereby the nation's energies are transferred from the satisfaction of the needs of the army and navy." Some of our important industries have already been hurt by the negative economy which he criticises. We must not weaken our bodies and our finances by abstinence born of man. If a man hoards a dollar or a bag of sugar it benefits no one while he holds it. If he lends a dollar or gives or sells the sugar to the government for the prosecution of the war he helps the nation. The hoarder is worse than the spenditriff. We must economize, but we must neither hoard nor remain tide. Money wisely spent is not wasted; money spent for nonessentials is but to poor use, but remains in circulation. Money hoarded is valueless while in that condition. Let us keep money in circulation and labor at wo 5. Let us give preference to the requirements of the nation, but keep labor employed in some way until the government can find work for all. It is unlikely that the government can do that, so we shall surplus labor, including an army, of women, who can produce real wealth for export and domestic trade. The panic which obsesses the minds of some officials, if allowed to spread, can do more harm than an invading host. Industrial Conservation, New York. The time has come when the man who leaves his post in American industrial life for technical enforcement of his prerogatives must be branded as a traitorous industrial deserter. We, the people of the United States, through our government, are employing millions of men in the most exacting service that involves risk of life itself for many and unimaginable hardships for all, and their maximum pay is $35 a month and board.

North Park, NY. She knows Conditions. "I have watched with a sad heart the suppression of Negro men and women in the Southern state, and in many instances my recent visit to certain sections of the South brought tears to my eyes. The lack of educational opportunities and the scant political recognition is no less than appalling. I do believe that the Negro's only hope in gaining full citizenship and recognition as a man rests in his political representation through the members of his own race. This is no large task, if they would only regain their powers, co-operate and concentrate their efforts in a common cause. I am aware of this defect, and I may aim to lead every aid, influence and effort to securing their rights, and to create a true feeling of democracy for the large masses of people. The Negro is such an elementary part of our daily life that there can be no excuse for overlooking his welfare. Lynchings Soul Sickening "As I have said before, itICKens me to the soul to read frightful accounts of Negro lynchings in the South for supposed offenses which a white man might commit with impunity. "It is worth remembering that the body of racial equality has two sides to it. In my studies of the problem, and I have lived in the South and known it as only a Southern can. I have found that there are more white men ready to break down race lines and rehabit with black women than there are black women desirous of living with white men." Dayton, O., April 9, 1918.

However, Tuesday all four, instead of simply that of Glues, were tried and gloriously won! A grand victory! It did not take the jury more than ten or eighten minutes to reach and report the conclusion, late Tuesday afternoon, rendering a verdict in the favor of the editor of The Gazette in all four cases that was just four times as pleasing as our victory in the Wills case, or when we secured the convic- tion of Class H. Crabble in Probate Judge H. Crabble's court, some weeks WHAT SAY YOU TO THIS? Here Is a Chance for All: sorts of Argument This writer recognized many years ago that if ever the condition of the discouraging lot of related people in this country is to be materially ameliorated, the white man himself, and not the black men, must take lead in the movement and bear the brunt of the battle. And our inference in the premises arose from anifern observation that those Negroes who have accomplished most generally have been helped more by white people than by their own people. Frederick Douglas Paul L. Dunbar, and Booker T. Washington (to mention only some that have passed) being conspicuous examples in point. These three owed their transcendent achievements to American white man fostering care in precisely the same degree and quality that Henry Ward Beecher, Herice Greylee and Abraham Lincoln (to mention again only some that have passed) owed their distinction to American white man fostering care. And this will continue to be the order (1) because the Negro, striving alone, will he totally lacking in ways and means of influencing the trend and quality of public opinion, the only court of competent jurisdiction in such matters.

"Oh dear!" We think so, and express the satisfaction Henry L. Thomas, Esq. from the knowledge of the fact that we were right, and that the counts have sustained us in every suit instituted against us as well as in the law we instituted against others. because the white man must undertake the task, not as something due the Negro, but as something due himself in necessary self defense of his own reputation for censure, unsuspected honor, common sense and decent mortality. — Prof. Henry Clay Gray, editor of the Waxahachie (Tex.)

AVERAGE CITIZEN-- DO YOU PRODUCE AS MUCH AS YOU CONSUME Modern Society Founded on Principle of Co-operative Effort of All. WE DEPEND ON EACH OTHER Simple Lesson in Economics Proves That Industry is the Source of Necessities, Comforts, and Luxuries. Individual Has Debt to Organization. Can you picture an average American family seated at a table in the average American home about to purchase of the average American meal? It is a familiar enough sight. There is the table covered with its white cloth, the utensils made from porcelain, steel, glass and silver, and there is the food—bread and butter, muff, tea or coffee, salt and pepper, sugar, food, vegetables, fruit, etc. But scarcely anything there is the direct result of the labor of any person who sits about that table! When you sit down to a meal do you ever think who provided it? Do you even know, in most cases, where the different components of that meat came from? Did the salt and the pepper drop as mama from heaven? Did the flax or the cotton which forms the ribcoth grow upon the home place? Were the fibers spun into yarn by your housekeeper, and was the cloth woven on the household loom? Did you rear the animal which supplied the meat for the repast? Did the fruit come from your orchard? Are the milk and the butter the products of your cow? Who delved into the earth for the silver, the steel, the lead, the clay which have been used to make up the utensils necessary for your most simple meal? And who changed those raw products into the knives and forks and dishes you use? No thoughtful man can consider such questions without being tremendously impressed with the utter dependence of even the most independent man in our present civilization upon the co-operation of hundreds of thousands of his fellow men whom he has never met and probably never heard of, largely engaged in some occupation different from his own and scattered about, not only all over his own country, but many of them located in far distant parts of the earth! It makes no difference what vocation a man follows. He may be a farmer and cause two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before. He may be a manufacturer, a retail merchant, a mechanic or a banker—no matter what he is, he depends for his very existence, not only upon those who till the soil and deal in its products, but also to the same extent upon the great organizations of manufacture, transportation, communication and finance which are scattered about all over the earth. It has taken the combined efforts the cooperation of thousands of people and organizations concerning which the average individual may know nothing, to bring about the development of what we call our modern civilization. The economic value of your efforts and those of your employee or of your employer, as the case may be, both depend upon the value of the efforts of millions of other men, and the economic value of one cannot be damaged without impairing the economic value of all. Let us not become so thoroughly specialists that we forget the other fellow. If our work narrows down at least let our knowledge and sympathies broaden. If we do not know something of the problems of each other and have some sympathetic interests in those problems we cannot hope to attain, either individually or collectively, the very great benefits which are known to be the direct results of helpful co-operation.—Industrial Conservation, N.Y. Industrial Efficiency Will Protect Lives of Our Boys in the Trenches.

SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1918 The plan to organize more regiments of cavalry for the American army in France means that the men at the top believe the German lines will be broken and that fighting will then be in the open, where mounted troops can be utilized to advantage. In this case we look to see the American squadrons add new laurels to the annals of Yankee prowess. In all of our wars, from the first, American cavalry have been noted for their dash and vigor—and the plains of Europe will witness same stirring scenes if anything like the splendid deeds of the Civil War are to be repeated there. PATRIOTS DISFRANCHISED Canada sees to it that the soldiers in the most remote trenches in France get to vote. Australia sees to it that her soldiers to the last man get to vote. How about America—the Republic of Republics? Are its soldiers to vote, or are they not to vote? This fall we elect a full House of Representatives in Congress and, with vacancies to be filled, more than a third of the Senate of the United States. The most patriotic citizens of the United States are the men who are now offering their lives for their country in the army and in the navy. And it seems now that they are not to vote. But the I. W. W., the disloyalist, the pro-German, the pacifist and the Socialist will be at the polls. In the absence of the soldier vote, these elements will decide many an election. Thus we have an unintelligent discrimination in favor of the anti-war citizenry and against the patriot in arms. As a result many elections will not be a true exposition of the actual sentiment of the will of all the people. Some member of the House or Senate should force through a law providing that in the elections of Congressmen, Senators and presidential electors, every American citizen in the military and naval service of the United States, shall be supplied with his proper ballot; be empowered to cast it, and to have it counted. Every disloyalist in Wisconsin cast his vote on April second. The sons of Wisconsin who are loyally serving their country in the army and navy—are alone disfranchised. SELF-CONVICTED It is undoubtedly true that the only serious injury the administration has suffered in the eyes of the people of the country it has brought upon itself. So long as criticisms were made without statements of facts in detail to support them, the people paid little attention. They assumed that most of the criticism was born of partisanship, though that was not in fact the case. But when prominent officials of the executive branch of the government were called upon the witness stand and testified that the criticisms were based upon facts, and also made admissions which indicated that the criticisms were too mild rather than too severe, there could be but one judgment formed. Practically every charge that has been made has been admitted. The critics have been fully vindicated. More than that, the critics are entitled to commendation for endeavoring to bring to the attention of the people the great danger hanging over the nation because of Departmental delays and official deception. As Senator Poindexter very mildly put it, the effort to hull the people of the country into the belief that all was well was just exactly what the Kaiser himself would desire. Senator Poindexter did not charge that such was the intent, but that it was the necessary effect. The sentinel who sleeps at his post has no intent to betray his comrades into the hands of the enemy, but his negligence is none the less serious. The Department and Bureau heads who have been sleeping on duty and encouraging the people to sleep, cannot escape their responsibility by protesting that their intentions are good. DELATED PREPAREDNESS When this country entered the war one year ago, France placed at our disposal the plans for the construction of its airplanes and its plans for the construction of its celebrated big guns, its 75' s. The plans for the Lewis machine guns were already at our disposal. Now as the French airplanes and big guns had been proven to be wonderful successes, and as the British were using 75,000 of the Lewis machine guns because it was a splendid weapon, manifestly the common sense thing to have done was to have crowded the reproduction off these things until something better arose or could be invented to displace them. Instead of that the French guns and planes and the Lewis gun were all cast aside until we could invent super-capron, planes and machine guns. But we have not gotten the super results. We have not improved the wonderful 75' s. We have not bettered the airplanes. The Browning machine gun has just had its trial test. The decisive battle of the war is on After one year's time we are putting few cannon, few planes, few machine guns into it. There are one thousand American aviators idle in France without American airplanes. It is said only two have been completed and that only thirty-seven will be in France by July first. Only when General Wood came back from Europe did the people learn definitely of the painful disappointment of our allies at the slowness of American preparation. For their skies are not yet darkened with squadrons of American airplanes. The western front does not resound with the crackle of either Lewis or Browning machine guns. The roar of our heavy guns does not reverberate over the Hindenberg line. The seas are not flecked with our innumerable sails. Only a few over a hundred thousand of our splendid soldiers are now in the decisive battle to make the world safe for Democracy. The blame, if blame there is, does not rest on a patriotic people which has placed two millions of its sons in the army and which has voted the most colossal war grants recorded in all the annals of history. BELGIAN CONGO CONDITIONS And Those in South Africa As They Are Today Explained by Bishop B. S. Johnson Chicago, Ill.—Four hundred miles through tropical African jungles by automobile over good roads is the report brought back by Bishop B. S. Johnson from his recent survey of the mission work of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Africa. He is in Chicago, this week, in attendance upon the Lexington Spring Conference of his Church, and spoke, Thursday, in regard to plans for its centenary celebration of its mission work. Describing conditions in Africa, Bishop B. S. Johnson referred to the Belgian Congo, which sprang into world wide notoriety back in the 90's as a result of its exploitation by King Leopold of Belgium, and said many other good things; "I saw the return of a native regiment at Elizabethville in the Belgian Congo. It had just come back from the German East where it had been fighting against the Germans, beside the British and Portuguese. They seemed to be well disciplined men. They were under white Belgian officers. In general the relationship between the people and the government officials is quite loyal, the there is discontent in some places. On the other hand, there are great stretches of country where the natives are so isolated that they are not even conscious of Belgium. They are loathing of Belgium, whose regime is infinitely superior to conditions as they were reported to exist under Leopold I did not witness nor even hear of any atrocious present day incidents. "One has to realize that conditions are very primitive in that country. There is only just beginning to be anything that may be called race consciousness among these people. The average native does not think beyond his own family and his own tribe. They have very little sense of color-consciousness, or of the outside world. The conditions which have caused this war, and the status of the various nations involved is not understood or thought about over there. In sending their men out to fight they are only doing as they are ordered by their Belgian officials. "In South Africa on the other hand there is as the Boer war proved years ago, tremendous race consciousness, and desire for independence. This still persists and the British government tolerates an amazing degree of freedom of expression in this feeling of revolt. There are also notable examples of loyalty to British rule among the Boers, men like Smuts and Byers." Sings Solo in Public, Age 102 Rahway, N.

It is said that Prof. J. C. Phillips, "noted elocutionist of Dallas, Texas," who had been in the city for some weeks, was arrested, last week, on the charge of being a "slacker." The "professor" is alleged to have told the U. S. authorities, when arraigned, that he was "too good an elocutionist to be in the trenches." It is feared, indeed it is more than likely, if reports be true, that the U. S. authorities will hardly agree with him on that point because the soldier boys in the trenches are entitled to the best and need at times all the entertainment, other than that furnished by war activities, they can get. The "professor's" card announces that he is a "lecturer, poet and dramatist, on route on tour, open for engagements, for concerts and oratorio." Has he a steady engagement "enroute on tour" now?

St. Louis, Mo.—Since the riots, in East St. Louis, Ill., have brought forward a demand for compensation for damages to property and loss of life, competent attorneys who have made a study of the Illinois Mob law, which was placed on the statute books through the efforts of Hon. Edward D. Green of Chicago, say the law is so defective in its wording and so ambiguous in its meaning as to be of little value to the people whom it was intended to protect. One attorney says it is evident the law was fashioned after the Ohio Mob Violence or Anti-Lynch law, which was fathered by the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette, when a member of the Ohio Legislature in 1896 The Ohio law, however, is sound as a dollar, and the fault of the Illinois law is found to be due to an evident attempt to copy the intent of the Ohio law and change the wording This is what has practically destroyed its value, it is thought. The Illinois law does not fix who is responsible for this value. The Ohio law does this very clearly, making the county responsible. Several attorneys have given the same view on the matter. A law that is sound, like Ohio's, should be placed upon the statute books of Illinois.

The name of the Showman was Wage-Payer and the Source of his Income was dubbed Industry. Now it so happened that Wage-Payer had spent a number of tedious year- teaching Industry to perform certain clever Tricks such as would tend to stimulate the Consumption of chewing gum and Peanuts among the gaping Audiences, and had burned INDUSTRIAL countless gallons of Midnight Oil studying the Diseases that Mules are Heir to so that He might keep Industry in the best of Health and Spirits for Industry, like all other Stage Artists, possessed a Temperament, which varied with the condition of his Liver. In return for the Effort He had expended in the Education of the Mule, Wage-Payer figured that He was entitled to a Fair Share of the Income derived from Industry's Performances, but it appears that his arithmetical INDUSTRY "The Muleteers Were Known as Wage-Earners." calculations were at variance with the Computations made by the Squad of Husky Mule Tenders whom Wage-Payer had hired to minister to the material Needs of Industry. Now, these Mule Tenders, who were known as Wage-Earners, had always been content with the Wages they were getting until there appeared in their Midst a Man named Agitator, who never did any Work himself but spent his valuable Time in spreading the Doctrine that the Laborer is Worthy of his "Higher." And so Agitator took the Muleteers, or Wage-Earners, to the Box office and aroused their de laudosity by pointing out to them the gladstone Spectacle of Wage-Payer raking in the fat Simeonens with his right Hand. They loss sight of the fact that his Sown paw was equally busy rolling out the silver clinkers to a hungry crowd of creditors. They only had eyes for the intake, and their hitherto substantiated Wages began to assume the proper tions of a Ford Runabout in a Field of Supersixes. "He gets the Dough and we get the Crumbs." And so a Delegation of Wage-Earners was sent to interview Wage-Payer. SOAP "Such a Man as Is Known as an Agitator." and at the urgent suggestion of Agitator each Delegate carried a knotless cudgel to help along the peaceful Process of Arbitration. When they proposed that they be given a larger Proportion of the Gross Receipts, Wage-Payer, who had become netted by the "He Gets the Dough and We Get the Crumbs." increasing Expenses, threw up his hands and cried in Classic English: "I'm sick of this job, anyway. You want the old Mule and do what you want with him. Good-bye, Good Luck, God Bless You!" Whereupon Wage-Payer tied a wet Towel about his frowning Brow, tele- "I'm Sick of This Job Anyway." phoned for a nerve Specialist, and went to Bed for a Rest. Meantime, the Wage-Earners, somewhat Panicsticken by the unexpected turn of Events, set about putting industry through his Paces for the Matinee Performance, but never having studied until Pedagogy, they got their Signals mixed and THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OH IO. APRIL 13. 1918 caused the Mule to count Ten in computing the Age of a Moth-eaten Octogenarian in the Audience. Whereupon the audience forgot to Hooverize in the use of Eggs and Vegetables. But that didn't conclude the Troubles of the Mule Minders. The Extortioners began to arrive with their Accounts Due and Payable and the Wage Earners in their Efforts to Economize cut down on Industry's Diet. Industry began to get groggy on his Pins, and after two or three performances collapsed altogether. Whereupon the Mule Minders held a conference and decide that Agitator was the only man capable of handling the Situation, so they sent for Him and asked his advice. "The Mule's faking," responded Agitator, "He needs a good Beating." The Wage-Earners applied Agitator's cure until their Biceps ached, and then came to the Conclusion that although Agitator was a fancy Swimmer in the Sea of Theories, he needed a Pair of Water Wings when it came to practical application. There was but one Alternative left for the Wage-Earners. "My Friends, the Mule Suffers from Malnutrition." Either they must persuade Wage-Payer to come back on the job, or sarrve to death, so they pocketed their Pride and sent a hurry call for the former Chief of Mysteries. "My Friends," announced Wage-Payer, with his Hand on Industry's pulse, "the Male suffers from Malnutrition. He is in a serious condition, but we can pull him through if you follow my advice. Rear one Thing in mind if you would manage Industry so as to get the Best out of him: You can't skimp on his Food." "But we don't want to manage him any longer," chorused the Wage-Earners. "That's what we get you back for. We can wash him and curry him, and feed him, when we have the Food to feed him with, but we need some one to put him through his Paces and take care of the Finances." Moral: You can't shift Scenes and run the Show at the same Time,—Industrial Conservation, New York. Manufacturers, contractors or those who undertake the production of anything that the market demands are almost invariably considered the employers. This is erroneous; they are simply the directors of the industry and are themselves employees of those who desire the product. These directors engage the services of other employees—manual workers, etc., in behalf of the purchasers of the product. The purchasers are, therefore, the real employers. The directors and the workers are actually fellow caitfisher engaged in a common service—Industrial Conservation, New York. UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER. War surely pulls people together, and its effects in better understanding among business men are already so plain that if peace comes tomorrow the new co-operative measures adopted by many of our industries and trades the last six months would go far toward paying for the enormous war outlay to date. All the co-operation now existing and planned between manufacturers is recognized by labor to be ineffective without its whole heaped support, and every day is strong hening the growth of a new spirit among American workingmen.—Industrial Conservation, New York. WAGE EARNER AND PAYER MUST UNITE Business in 1918 is to be war. It will primarily be war against a well prepared enemy without our borders. We must not permit it to be war within our borders, as it will be if the bickerings, misunderstandings and social unconsciousness are not effectively and constructively dealt with by those who are directly concerned with American industry. The National Industrial Conservation Movement will continue to exert every possible and legitimate energy at the command of its writers, public speakers, printed literature, moving picture films, co-operating chambers of commerce, boards of trade, religious, civic, social and patriotic bodies, to spread the gospel of industrial co-operation. Certain agencies abroad in this land are constantly seeking, creating and seizing upon every possible form of excuse and opportunity to sow the seeds of dissatisfaction, discontent and unrest in our industrial world. These agencies thrive on misrepresentation, exaggeration and agitation of destructive varieties Must Combat "Isms." They preach hair brained "isms," class hatred and sodition. To deflect them is not only an imperative work for our national safety, but a patriotic duty incumbent upon every thoughtful American. It cannot be done by the occasional denouncing of such national enemies, thus affording them the motive by which they thrive, but must be concluded in the public interest by a carefully worked out campaign to present the impartial truth on the industrial, social and economic problems at stake. Wage earners must be made to more fully appreciate that their interest in American industry is mutual with that of our wage payers so far as our industrial prosperity is concerned. Wage payers who do not realize the value of cultivating the human element in their plants must likewise be shown the necessity for them, to literally interpret and practically apply the lesson of co-operation. It must also be recognized by our public officials and communities in general that a healthy industrial atmosphere is only possible when friendly relations rather than class antagonisms are fostered by law and public print. It shall continue to be the purpose of our work as a national scale to diplomatically and truthfully correct the misinformation and spirit of thoughtlessness which has so frequently led the public into acts of reprisal that are inimical to their own interests as well as to the interests of the industrial institutions upon which our national welfare as well as our individual comfort and convenience is so dependent. The patriotic importance of this work must be evident to all careful observers of events at this time. In its relation to our future industrial development the intrinsic value of a better understanding all round cannot be overestimated. Spread the Truth We will dedicate our energies to the spreading of the truth, the awakening of public thought and the public's sense of mutual interest and responsibility. We believe there is no more room in this country for profiteering on the part of so called Capital or so called Labor. Our work will also involve a further extension of the campaign to protect and conserve the lives, limbs and general health of wage earners, the reabsorption by industry of jobless warriors and such of our soldiers who may be partially crippled in our military service, the maintenance of our armed forces in the field and comforts of our home staying citizens as well as our brave allies. Our industries must likewise do their full and important share in the financing of our war operations — Industrial Conservation, New York. DOING AWAY WITH THE INDUSTRIAL SCRAP HEAP Railroads and Manufacturers Are Learning to Eliminate Waste, Including Drainage of Man Power. Confronted by the necessity of utilizing every possible traffic facility for war material, the railroads are going to the scrap heap for additional equipment. They are patching up discarded locomotives and engines 25 years old have been rebuilt and made "better than when they were new." No doubt the railroad scrap heap is the largest of all American scrap heaps and by that token the one from which most material can be salvaged. But the conditions of railroad waste and extravagance in the name of efficiency equally characterize all American industry, and the new railroad policy of recclamation is important as an example and a precedent. What the garbage pail is as an index of household thriftlessness the scrap heap is as a monument to wasteful methods of manufacture. But the greatest of all wastes, progressive manufacturers now realize, lies in the careless manipulation of man power. Industrial Conservation, New York. MEMBER FOOD IMPORTATION IT'S ONLY TWO DAYS A WEEK THIS IS A WHEATLESS DAY PUZZLE-FIND THE SLACKER 'GENTLEMAN OF FORTUNE' SIGHS FOR LACK OF HOME "There Was Once a Girl," He Says, Then Stops as He Tells What Life of Adventure Lost Him. Indianapolis, Ind.—A "gentleman of fortune," Harry Crawford McKenzie, a native of Marion County, who has been thru three wars, led forces in two revolts against reigning powers and who has girdled the world three times in his travels, sat weeping as he told of what his adventures had lost him. Loneliness had brought him back to his old home for a visit. Strange to say this man, now nearly 70, most regrets the lack of home and children. McKenzie's wanderings started with the Civil War, in which he served with an Indiana regiment as a drum- mer boy. After the war he started for the East and remained there until he was 25, and the call of adventure led him eventually to Africa. In Africa he was captain in the uprising of natives of British West Africa in 1873, an uprising suppressed by British arms in less than two weeks. McKenzie was wounded in the leg and still limps. MILITARIA He went to the Philippine Islands next and was leader in an uprising of natives against Spanish rule, another ill-fated event, for it endured only four days. This uprising was to have been general, according to McKenzie, but failed because proper orders were not given various leaders. McKenzie then went to Egypt, Australia, Italy, China and all Oriental lands. In China he was in peril when found in a Chinese temple. Thru friendship with the natives of Africa, McKenzie finally established a trading business there. This business made him independent and he retired from it, ten years ago. But there's a note lacking in his life. All the adventures he has had, all the money he has made, all the sights he has seen and all the experiences his jaunts have given him do not make up for the home he has missed. “There was once a girl,” McKenzie began, then broke off suddenly, as he wiped away tears. He would not say more on the subject. THIS IS A MEATLESS DAY Hubby Arranges Surprise face: Wife but Latter Does Some Baby Honey Arranges Surprise face: Wife but Latter Does Some Baby Rockville Center, L. L.—For years Thomas Connell and his wife, middle-aged and well-to-do, had longed for children, but none came. So, recently Mr. Connell decided to find out what could be done thru his parish priest, the Rev. Peter Quealey. As a result of their conferences, kept secret from Mrs. Connell, Mr. Connell, returned to his home the other day carrying in his arms a fine, fat, bouncing surprise for his wife. It was a girl, 15 months old, that Mr. Connell had acquired from a family which recently had undergone financial reverses. He plumped the baby into the arms of his wife. "There's your new baby," he said with delight that was matched by hers. "We are going to adopt it." Mrs. Connell, altho delighted, seemed to have something else on her mind, for in a few minutes she excused herself and left the house. In ten minutes she was back and in her arms was a big, red-cheeked boy, 4 years old, and so heavy she staggered under his weight. Into the surprised arms of Mr. Connell she dropped the load.

J.—The remarkable intelligence of the horse, said to rank second to the elephant, the most intelligent of all members of the animal world, is again exemplified in this incident. The farm wagon in which Judson H. Van Creaf was riding along the Passic River road, near this place, late at night, was hit by an automobile and wrecked. Mr. Van Creaf was thrown fifteen feet down an embankment to the edge of the frozen river, and the hors. ran away. The automobile disappeared without stopping leaving Van Creaf unconscious. Apparently after the horse had run a quarter of a mile and had freed himself of the wrecked wagon he considered and returned to where the accident had happened. There he was found two hours later by Henry Vreeland. Mr. Vreeland tried to lead the animal to his home, but he would not move. That caused Vreeland to look about. In a short time he found Van Cream. When his master had been revived the horse was willing to go on to Pine Brook, the home of Van Cream, and also of Vreeland. The former's injuries were serious, but not fatal.
