TEACH Kits' PE.N'SIO.V li'l.VI).

A teachers' pension fund for which hundreds,of Michigan school teachers have been religiously working for years, is now an assured fact.

'i'lie supreme court late 'I'hiir.'Sday, in an opinion written by Justice Flav­ins L. Brooko, of Detroit hold that the pension fund act passed by the logislalui'O of 1915 is constitutional and should be |)Ut Into effect.

As a result, the board, wlilcli was appointed by Governor Ferris to put tlie act into offect, will, it is expected, at once adopt plans for the-collection of the payments from the teachers. This board is headed by Judge Wil­liam F. Connolly, of Detroit.

Tlie law was placed before tho court for construction in a peculiar way. Attorney Ifellows, in wliat Is known in law as a QUO warranto, at­tacked the right of this hoard to make a movo, alleging tliat the act was unconstitutional for several rea­sons. The board answered, through William L. Carpenter of Detroit, for­mer supreme court justice.

Tlie case was assigned for decision to Justice Russell C. Ostrandor ot Lansing, and he wrote an opinion knocking the law out, and agreeing in the most part, with the contentions of the attorney general.

'I'he rest of the court, liowever, signed the opinion of Justice Brooke and his opinion rules.

Justice Ostrander said the law was bad because in the exemption it makes of the city of Detroit, it be-caine a local and not a general law, and that it was bad because it gave to a state servant extra compensation for .services already performed— something expressly forbidden by the constitution.

In the opinion of Justice Brooke, liowever, these points are completely cleared up. The fact, that Detroit already has a local teachers' pension fund arrangement, in Justice Brooke's opinion, shows conclusively that the act is general. It does not need to repeal tho Detroit law to make itself a general law.

RE CAllREUL ADOUT WRAPl'INO PAOICAOICS FOR RURATJ D E -

LIVERY.

In the December Farm and Fire­side there is an important sugges­tion about wrapping packages; The writer says;

" 'I needed tliose things for this evening,' groaned Mrs. Blank when the box returning from the mall box a hundred rods from the house, hand­ed her a slip on which the rural car­rier had written; 'Have package that will not go in box. As you told me never to trouble to drive in, will bring again tomorrow,'

"That package contained articles much desired for that evening, when the eighteenth birthday of the daugh­ter of the hoijse was to be fittingly celebrated.

" 'They were things I had asked my cousin in the next county to send over,' explained Mrs. Blank. 'She lives on a rural route and I supposed she would wrap them so they could be left in the box. I suppose she did not thing.'

"That is the trouble with a lot of us when we are wrapping packages for delivery on rural routes,

'.'If we are wrapping a parcel that will contain perhaps a little over 600 cubic Inches, the chances are that we will wrap it as a square parcel or as one a;bout 8x8x10 inches. In either case It will not enter the average R. P. D. box.

"If the package for Mrs. Blank had been wrapped so it was six Inches square at the ends, giving it length rather than thlckne.'^s, she would have received it on time,"

THK OVKIUiAND PLANT

Wnahingtoii, Dec. 2'.\.—The rresi-(lent'.s note to llie British and German governnicntB Is a rlietorlcal moanK of Haying wliat Inis already hoon said In Europe. r.,loyd floorgc lias told his people that tlicro will he no conl'or-enee—at the ilagnc or anywhere else —before the Kaiser luis fornmlated (lie terms upon whioli he is willing to nialco i)eaco.

The Britisli I'roinier wont furtlier than this, lie exposed llio termS' npon whicli tlio Allle.s are willing to make peace—and there are tliree points involved. One, complete resti­tution; two, complete reparation; three, aderinale guaranties t'or tlie future. Uussin and Franco liad al­ready said I ills hefore Lloyd fleorge made his speecli; and lliey said it more ompiiatically—especially lUis-sia, where (lie Czar, llio l)nnia and the Conncii of lOnipire spolto in iden­tical lerniK.

All this may he readily Iranslnted into terms of aclion. Complelu resti-tuilon means tlnit nelgium goes liacic to tlie Belgians, tlini Serbia goes l)aek to 11)0 Soi'l)s, tiiat Montenegro goes hack to tiie .Mnntenegrins, iliat Ko-manla goes i)ack lo tlie llouinans, that i foliind and Lithuania go hack to llie Itnsslnns, tliat tlie Balkan hnund-nries remain as tliey were traced by the treaty of Bncliarest. 'I'o this sliould be added a furtlier roslilntlon, the rigliting of an ancient wrong: Al­sace and Lorraine go hack lo France.

Complete reparalion moans that Belgium Is to he re'conslilnted at Oernuin expense, lluit .N'orlliern France is similarly to be set in order ;iK it was in llli 'l, that devastated Serliia is to be reconstructed, that overridden .Montenegro is lo lie re­stored lo llie i'^etrovilches, lliat the money wrung from nolglniii iiy lier Oernian eonciuerors is to be paid hack, and that every atonement wliicli is materially possible is lo lie made lo the suffering peoples wiiose riglit lo aulonomy and in nentralily lias been beaten down.

Adequate guaranties for I lie future mean that German disarmaineiit is a condllion iirocedent to even a discus­sion of peace, lliat somoMiing more liian "a scrap of paper" musi be had to safeguard the days tliat are to come. Germany cannot accept I hose terms—now. The Allies cannot'lake loss—now. And there can lie no peacO'—now.

l'"'urtliormore, tlie Tact of London foriiids a separate peace on liio jiarl of any of the Ailios. Giu'iuany lias tried before lo lireak this pact. Siie made a very deliiiite offer of peace to li''rance a year ago, hinting at the re­storation of Alsace-Lorraine and the evacuation of Belgium except for An­twerp. Franco rejected those tern.is, as slie has now ro,)ecled the more nebulous terms of IfllC.

No peace can he made witliout Ru.s-sla; and Unssia cannot make peace on' German terms. Unssia is the only great empire in the world which has no open window on the sea, which she must have in order to develop her enormous and untouched agricultural nnd other natural rcso\irces. Ger­man ierms would bar Russia from both the Baltic and the iMcditorran-ean. The Entente terms will unti-mately give her the Dardanelles. And lUiRsia, in man-power and in capacity to command it, holds the whip-hand in the conlrovor.sy. There is a new Trime Minister in England, the Vrench Premier has been granted new and wider powers, a new Minis­ter for Foreign Affairs serves the Czar. All three of these men have spoken for their imperial and their popular musters. Their words range all within the same octave. There -•will he no peace formulated in Berlin as the seat of victory in this war.

Consequently, neither the hysteria of the stock market nor the rhetoric of the President is thought here, by diplomats, by military experts or by students of world history, to reflect anything or to indicate anything which looks to an ending of the Euro­pean war within eighteen months at the earliest.

r.RAXOR CALLS MASS MEETING

Itcct Gi'owii's to Meet lit Sngiiiaw Jan­uary », 1017.

The sugar beet situation in Mich­igan has becopie an acute one owing to the generally unsatisfactory condi­tions surrounding the growing of the crop for the past two years. As a re­sult there are reports from various parts of the State of a demand to make the price $8 per ton on a flat rate basis. The'unsottlod conditions are detrimental to growers, are de­laying the making of contracts, and some action needs to be taken.

The Executive Committee of the Michigan State Grange has become satisfled by its investigations that the beet growers of Michigan are not re­ceiving their just share of the pro­ceeds from this important farm crop. I t therefore is taking the Initiative In the matter by calling a masis meeting of the beet growers of the Statel at the'Auditorium-in Saginaw oh Tues­day, January 2,i 1917,'at 11 a. m. to consider the ' whole situation and adopt such measures as will secure to the beet growers the price per ton

; that they ought to receive consider­ing the higher Qost of productjon. In

Dean Taylor, Willy.s-Overland deal­er in this city, who is one of the 5,000 dealers visiting the great Toledo plant in connection with the immense convention now in progress, recounts his flxperlences In this ontcrtHlnIng letter to the editor;

Some action! Nothing was ever so impressive as

our tour of the great plant that tnriis out Willys-Overland cars.

Our I'ullmana all parked In the company yards. Tliere was room enougli, for arc seven and threo-ciuar-tor miles of track within (ho plant.

ICacli man got a card containing a I picture of Mr. Willys and an auto-graphod message of welcome from him. Next thing I knew we were lined up on the stops of the .stunning now administration building getting pliotographed.

lOiovalors shot us lo tlio company's own rostaiirant on thd sixtli floor. There wo hud a corking breakfast. At each plalo was a copy of tiic live

I now Wiliys-Ovoriand liou.so organ, i "Tlio Starter." It mapped tho day's program.

Then wo started our tour of tho plant.

Our guides wor(! carefully picked men. 'i'hoy knew tho plant from ond lo ond, and tlio parties wore small .so tliat each mouibor of Iho party could have ills (luestions answered.

Nnliody ouglit to try to soil Wiliys-Ovorland product without kliowing this plant. Vou can't grip tho im-monsity of tiio proposition till you do.

It is no pikor business. ififj.OOCOOO aro tied up in land,

buildings and maciiinery, not to say a word about tho stock of parts and raw matorlal.

From tho roof of the wonderful adiuinlsti'ation building, which stands out like a state capital, you got a groat panorunia of the plant. You can ilion readily believe tliat It occu­pies l(i;5 acres, witli •I,48fi,fi80 square foot of Moor space in daily use and a pi'oduclion capacity of jiearly IflflO cars per day.

Von cim appreciate tho growth from 2r,{) onipioyoos in lOOS t.o .17,-;!00 in 1(11(1.

l.dOU persons, more than the entire iiiaiuifacluring force of many a com­pany, work In Iho administration iiiiiiding alone. Tills structure, ;i7ri fool long, lias every facility for rapid work, including diclaplionos, its own Udograpli and telephone system and a mall handling dopartmont (hat does alimit evorything hut write tho loi­ters,

ILS.S persons can bo fed in the ros-lauraiil. at one lime.

But tills is notiiing lo what hits wlion you cross Into the shops. It is a wiiiri of aclion, yet all is system.

Parts by tho untold thousand aro liore, Willi a vuiuo Into tho millions of dollars. 'I'lioro are lines of motors. 1 novor saw so many crank .shafts 1o-golhor. Our guide .said G,000—I'd have holiovod 00,0 00.

There is slock in bins, slock in yards, stock along the walls, connect­ing rods, frames, fenders, mudguards, lioods, rims, springs, axles, torsion tubes, transmission gear shafts, brake parts, steering rods, pedals—it is an unending procession.

Every thirty days sees an average of 1,000 tons of steel come in. It Is luindled by a magnetic crane that en­ables two men to do a work that for­merly required thirty.

There are amazing machines. Tlie toggle press, for example, held

us all. This monster, with its pres­sure of 1,000 tons, shapes cold steel like cardboard. A piece of metal fed to it comes out as a side frame. It can make 2,000 of these in an eight hour day.

Other mighty machines stamp out radiiitor shells, fenders, cowl dashes and doors.

You take off your hat lo the drop forging machines. Down comes tlie hammer and the fiery piece of iron is beaten into shape. The complete drop forging of the front axle can be accomplished with one heat. "

Every kind of part requiring strength was drop forged while we looked on, axles, crank shafts, brake assembly rods, brake and control rods, spring shackles, gear blanks and brake rod sectors.

We saw the company's accurate system of die making. It calls for a special workman on each detail. One works on the shaper, another on the planer and a third on die sinking.

The multiple spindle drill in one operation drills all the holes in the front axle. This is a guarantee that each will be in right relation to the other.

It was hard to drag us away from the automatic turret lathe that sur­faces and finishes fly wheels. It works as though somewhere within its metalvltals a brain was concealed. The workman has only to put on the rough fly wheel, adjust the flrst set of tools, push the lever, and let the machine do the rest.

The cast iron Is peeled off as read­ily as wax. Sometimes four or five operations are performed at once. When one set of cuttings is done, the machine stops automatically, and the next set of tools comes automatically into place. Twenty operations are peirformed in fourteen minutes. 2 6 pounds of metal are removed fronv the wheel. One man can watch'three of these machines. , ' ,

The vertical cutter of gears on fly wheels almost matches the turret lathe In interest. , S

Moving up and down, the- cutter at the sameitlme slowly revolves, the fly wheel tiirhlng. In the opposite direc­tion. I Bjr. the time ,a complete revo­lution of the fly wheel has beenl ac-coihpllshed, all the gears a r e c u t ; , '

difference In the wet grinding room. Placed in small tools they are used to true tho emery wheels on which are ground the bearing surfaces of the crank shafts.

They are l)ought in if.l 5,000 lots. We.looked on while whole forests

of lumber were being turned Into bodies in the wood work department. This lumber comes in hy carloads. As 2M feet of wood is required on a small touring car, we could readily see wiiy so much was required.

You can make this round and you can understand this company's Im­mense consumption of material—18, 000,000 pounds of solder annually, 2, 500,000 pounds of tin and load for smoldering, 10,000,000 pounds of brass and copper, 12,000,000 feel of stool lulling and 1 25,000 tons of steel.

But what Impressed mo more than all was tlio department in which ma­terials aro tested. 'i'hoy have lo know a thing is right before it goes into a Willys-Overland car. That's how they safeguard tho public. ,

Tests in tiie physical and chemical luboralorlos aro made in two ways. Comp'letod steel parts aro suljjoclod lo (errillc tests. Axles aro twisted like rolls of taffy candy. Small bits of stool, six inches long, cut from compiotod axles, aro attached at both ends and literally pulled apart. The registering maciilno shows 200,000 pounds to liio square inch necessary lo accomplish tiiis, wiioroas a resist­ance up to 125,000 pounds would ho liroof of aiiiplo loiisilo slreiigth. Springs aro tried for their rosistanco.

Stool articles uro also put through both iioai and cliomicai tests. Tho former dolorminos liio amount of car­bon, an imiiortant factor; tho oilier dolorminos tlio cliomicai composition of the stool.

Naturally every operation in all tho plants lends linully toward tho essem-bly conveyor tracks. There aro four of tiioni, oacii (i'lo fool long.

We followed tho wliolc oporallon. We began at one ond wliero llie frames and roar systems are put in place. By liio 11 mo the other ond of tho conveyor is readied the frame has grown into tiio (inisliod car.

From overhead parts are lowered by chains. Along tlie way men are iittacliing tlio parts. The frame Is not in motion all tlie time, but can bo inslanlly connected witli the links of an oiuiiess chain and sent on its way wiioiiovor desired.

Top quality of workniansliip is as­sured liy liuving each man do work on which lio is an export, if it be only to lighlou a iioll.

Linos of motors, alroudy tested, wait on both sides of tlie conveyor. 'I'liose aro put into jilaco, cantilever springs aro put on, steering mocliun-ism and ligliting and starting sys­tems aro adjusted. Gnulually liio car takes form.

Instead of painting the cliassl« Willi a hrusli, u sprayer is used. It does (ho work more rapidly, more uni­formly and at a lower cost.

The tracks of the assembly lead di­rectly through ovens in whicli the paint is baked. Fenders and run­ning lioards come into their places.

Wheels with the tires on them are brought along u runway. Kirst comes a front wheel, then a rear wheel. You ought to see them put on the tires. It is like ligiitning. By a spec­ial device, invented by one of the men in the department, the tire can be put on a wheel in three seconds.

From overhead bodies are dropped down on to the chassis and soon made fast.

The car is now ready for its tests. Rapidly revolving wheels in the floor engage the wheels of the car, and send them at high speed to make sure that they are operating freely. This is not a test under the power of the car.

Gasoline and water are then put into the car. It is pushed off the track into another room, till its wheels are in contact with wheels in the floor.

With the use of the self starter, the machine gets its first ciiance to prove the success of its construction.

It surprised me the way the motors started. They were, off with a rush. There was no hitch or delay, All the work had been done right. In a few minutes the motor was working ap­parently almost as smoothly as if it had been a year on the road.

We saw how the cars were shipped. The export department has a big feature in this line. The finished car undergoes preparation by having Its wheels taken off and fastened on the under side of the frame which forms the top covering for the car.

The top is covered with tar paper as a protective against the elements, and all is securely boxed.

Along comes a big crane running in an overhead grobve a quarter of a mile long. The operator sits in a small cab not unlike that of a rail­road engineer. Chains grab the box containing tho car, and within forty-five seconds have carried it outside the building and placed it on the flat freight car.

It is processes like these, all that I havie described, that explain why every car in the Willys-Overland line is what it is at so low a cost. Making so many^ls the answer, making them to go all*over the world and having profited by the experiences of users everywhere. Quantity production, immense and costly machines, skilled designing, carefiil Inspection, accur­ate tests of material',, efflclorit factory methods, rapid assem^)ly and advanc­ed methods of handling, all these we saw; >dll these tell why the Willys-Overland company; lives lip to Its Ideals of a car for every need or taste,, price, class and service right.

We saw the line. It Is quality from the lowest priced to the' headllher. It ,wlU;be the marvel of the;autbmobile _shows.'- •••' ••;•;•••••, .-.•'•..•••i ,•,:;••:v.• - .

STATES' RIGHTS PRESERVED

Principles Which Railways Hold Should

ration Favored.

Waslilngioii, Dec. 4 . -Tl int the Inter­ests of natlniial dcfonso reiiiiiro that control of railway lines siiould rest witli tlio foiloral goverumont and not wltii the statoH was liio claim ml-vaiiccd by Alfred f. TIKIIII. counsel (0 the Itailwiiy Exociitivos' Advisory Onmmilloo, in concluding IU« prelim­inary statement of tlie case for ,tlio railways before liic Nowlaiiils .lotnt Coiiimllfoo on Inlerslalo Commerce.

"We must be elllclout as a nation If we are lo deal siiocossfully wKli our national eiiicrgencios," said .Mr. Tliom, "mid \ . • must iiiiprociatc timt ellloiont trans|iortalloii Is an essential condition of national olllclency. If wo are to halt and wonken onr tninsportatlon syaiems l)y state linos, iiy (lie perma­nent iiii|iusltion of liurdons by imwisu rogiiintion, wo will make nntlomii clU-eiency iinposslljie."

States' Rights Would Not Suffer.

Mr. '.riuim citod many instiincos In which sliipiioi'S in one state were In­juriously affected iiy sollisli rogulii-llons Imposed on the railroads liy noighhoring slntos. l ie pointed ou( that federal regulation would be no In­vasion of (ho.riglits of Iho states Imt would be the moans of preserving llie rights wlilch they acquired when lliey ontorod liie JJnInn, one of which was tlie right to tlio free movement of their products across stale bonndiirios.

Wh.it the Railroads Advocate.

The prlncl|jios wiilch tlie raiironds believe sliould ho Incorporalod In any jus t system of regulalloii were sum-niarii'.od iiy .Mr. Tlioni as follows;

1. The entire power and duty of reg­ulation sliould be 111 the hands of the national government, except as to mat-tors so cssenllaliy local and InoidoiKal that they cannot bo used (o interfere witli tho ollioiency of the service or the Just rights of tlie curriers.

2. As one of tlie moans of ticeoni-pllslilng this, a system of compulsory federiil Incorporation should be iidopt-od, Into which sliould be brought all railroad coriwrations engaged In inter­s ta te or foreign comnierce.

a. The Inlersdi lc Commerce Commis­sion under existing laws has too much lo do nnd is charged with contlloting functions, Including the Investigntlon. prosecntion and decision of cases. The latter duties should be placed In tho bands of ii new body which might be called tho Federal Itallroad Commis­sion. Hegionai Comniisslons should bo established in different par ts of the conntJ-y to assist tiie Interstale Commerce Conunlssion by liandiiiig lo­cal cases.

'I. The power of the Commission sliould he extended to enable It lo jire-scrlbo minimum rates uiid not merely maximum rates as nt present. This would Increase their power to prevent unjust dlsfrlniinations.

Justice to Public and Roads.

fi. It-should be made the duty of the Interstate ComuiCrce Commission, In tho exercise of Its powers to fi.v ren-sonuble rates, to so adjust these rates that they shall be Just nt once to the public and to the carriers. To this end tho Commission, In determining rates, should consider tho necessity of main­taining cfllcicnt transportation and ex­tensions of facilities, the relation of expenses to rates and the r ights of shippers, stockholders and creditors of the roads.

0. The Inters ta te Commerce Commis­sion should be Invested with the pow­er to fix the rates for carrying njalls.

7.. The federal government should have exclusive power to super\'lse the issue of stocks and bonds by railroad carriers cnguged In Interstate and for­eign conii..jire..

8. Tlio Ijuv should recpgnliie the es­sential difforoiice between things whicli restrain trade In tho case of ordinary morcnntlle concerns and those whlfcli restrain trade in the case of common carriers. The question of competition . is not the only fair criterion.

0. The law should expressly provide for the meeting nnd agreement of traf­fic or otlier officers of railroads in re­spect of rates or practices. This should, however, be safeguarded by requiring the agreements to be filed with the Inters tate CbmriiercoCommlBv slon and to be siibjcct to be cUsapprb'v-ed by I t . . -\>-:--' ':• •'',•'•;;:'.•;•

I'lio Chamlier of Commerce of thi! UnitiMl Statcjs has been conducting an elaborate inquiry into various pha.ses of tiie subject foi' many niontiis past. JIuiiy local uiid stuto commerciiil bodies in every part of tiio country iiave coiiiniittoes en­gaged in study of tiio prolilein anil liave indicated a desire to come hero and pre.sent their view.s. National or­ganizations of nianufucliirors, liimbor-iiieii, coal oiierators, wholesale and re­tail dealers, • have expressed through resolutions their desire foi' the unilica-tlwi of the syslein of railway reguia­lion. The Nallonnl Industrial Tralllc League, speaking from the viewpoinl of shippers using tlie railways, has Indorsed exclusive federal reguhttioii providing it is nccompiisiiod in such a way as to give full protection and prompt nd.justnient in mutters relating III transportation within the states .

Many Interests Studying Problem.

All these organi/atlons represent pri­marily tiie shipiiors of tiie country, but liioy lire not the only ones who aro laUiiig a hand in the discussion. The Invoslors of the niilion, through their own iissoi'lations nnd through commlt-toos lepresenting the savings banks and other linunclal nrgunlzations, a r e ' p r e -puring to siiow tiie necessity of improv­ing rnili'oud credit nnd protecting the rights of tliose whose money is invest­ed in rnllwuy securities. Finally the railroads thein.solves, being vitally con­cerned In the Improvement of existing conditions, are planning to submit their views throiigli tiicir executives, oper­ating oilicinls and traffic experts nnd to assert their willingness to accept far-reaching federal regulntion nlong lliies that, will eniible them to ut t rnctcapi tal and to provide tlie facilities needed for the prompt and edlcient liandiing of the eoun(;ry,'s trunsportutlon business.

Main Trouble Is Too litany Mat te r i .

Not all of these Interests are In ac-, cord us to the remedies ' that should, be adopted. There seems to be a general ngreeraenti howeVer, that many of the rtliilcultieswhlbb confront tho railroads nnd wliicli make It impossible for thein to meet the requirements of tho na­tion's commerce promptly and satlsfoc-torlly arise from t h e hnphazdrd .and; often: conlllcting measures of regulation that> have! beeii udoptod from ;time:t(»,; tlitte by the federal government and-the i foVfy-Wght stateii and t h a t . whjttt is needed is a well ' ordeiipd,i systematic Bchehie of federal regulation that shall cbyW'the, whole'country,niid; make It poBBlble for the rallroadH to provide tlie' extensions and; Improvct} facilities HO badiy;headed,;while a t tlfesam ^ ^ ^ ^ prot€ictlibg;vfully t N R"h '^ l i^^

IJy « . K. Conkey. 'Why do pullets molt'/" This is a

.system. This results In a loosening of the feathers and instead of a nice lot of pullets producing higii pri(;eil eggs, we have them on our hands for several montlis as a bill of expense.

Sometimes pullets are started off on a molt by nothing more than a cliange in the food at a critical per­iod in their devolopmont. This change may bo too abrupt or riullcal or the new feed may he strange to thorn rofjulring severiil days for I hem to get accustomed to It, tlinir system being Improperly nourished In the meantime. These seemingly little mistakes often result in much harm and can o;ily t)e guarded against when given the intelligent thqught necessary to locate the cause, for there Is a reason for all tliese troubles and it is not protltable to have them repeated. i

Variety in feeding is very essential but this does not mean that you '• should give one or two kinds of grains for a tew days or weeks, and then something different for a like ^ period. Variety should come thru the use of mixtures or by making sys- ' tematic changes In the different meals or in their arrangement for the dif-' ferent days of the week, |

It doesn't pay to make radical changes in the feeding of either hens \ or pullets. If there is to be a decld-1 ed change mix a very little of the new

As a matter of fact, we Americans rather vaunt our frequent baths and well scrubbed kitchen lloors. Yet wo are, on the whole, a scandalously slovenly race—decidedly untidier than i.he Frencli, to many of whom a batli is an event. We are always lit­tering up the premises. The average American country town Is a night-iiiiire of slovenliness. That cleanli­ness which is next to godliness does not stop at a batli and wasliing the front windows.—Saturday Evening Post.

Holding the heat created is the secret of the malleable range and the Copper-Clad is the most scientific range known. It has no competition as a heat retainer, and like a piano in a parlor, Is good to see. You will never be Range Happy until you have a Copper-Clad.

Misting Locomotives Disturb Rest In Oakland, Pa.

Pittsburgh.—Onlchind, the acropolis of Pittsburgh, with Its great halls of art and learning, is marred by a nui­sance worse by far than the venders whose presence desecrated the Coli­seum in Rome or the RIalto bridge in Venice, according to meinbors' of the Oakland board of trade. This nuisance is declared to be the night long and day long hissing and fuming of loco­motives. This, John Dimling, a mem­ber of the board, pointed out, is not «nly detrlmontai to Oakland as a cen­ter of art, but It robs mortnls, both art­ists and business men, of their sleep.

Mr. DimlIng in an Impassioned .speech told of locomotives, huge moiisters, which seemed to take a demoniacal de­light in standing for hours spouting In­fernal fnmes and hissing fiendishly tbrough their pop valves. Repeated protests to the railroad company, ho said, wore of no avail. A corandttee was'dhwted to ask the courts to grant an injunction agaiiist the railroad coni-|)any similar to the one gi'unteu souui years ago by the supreme court to ii Junction Hollaw resident now dead,

A MIQHTV anthem, rising to the sicies,

Joined in on every hand Where men worl< out the pur*

poses of life, Resounds throtij^hout the land.

We greet the boundless store of ripened fields,

The wealth of mill and mart, But all too often naught but

these give out Song's keynote to the heart.

FOR truest praise is in the soul of prayer,

A hope of heaven's grace. Continued love in which mere

worldly thought Can have no foremost place.

So, while the organs swell and voices rise ,

In music's varied tongue, .Thanks even truer may go up to

Qod Unspoken ana unsuQg.

And, lis It Is fitting that all New Year's meditation shall have to do somewhat with reso-luilona, it would sooin that the modern woman's outlook should include the detcrmi'nation to seek new paths of effectiveness and ac'lilevon^ont. And since berallcgiaiico is to her husband, her children, iter liome, her friands, her v.'ork. to the world, slie shoulil resolve that the now year' shall bring tlip broader viewpoint, the wider sympathy, the receptive mind, which shall make her respond to' the needs of those whom she lovca and shall make her a gracious and nseful member of society; •;,'

OLD TIME CALLING. NEW YEAR'S EVE CAKE,

The overcoat of our hSOO dnndy was of several fashions. lil;e our own day. The box coat was affocteil by horse­men and sporting characters—the long tailed sliort waisted surtout by the more fashlunabic.

In tile midst of the excitement at­tending Kossuth's visit to America the soft felt hat worn by 1dm was affected by a few even with tlio feather, hut it never attalued the dignity of a fashion.

The wide tlowing cloaks, called the Taliua, were also worn.

Thus-attired, the caller sallied forth for ills day's work.

The dress of the ladles was as rich as pos.sible as for dinner, an c\'ouliig party or the opera, and for the fashion 1 must beg them to turn to a maga-' zlne or fashion book of tlie day. Many gentlemen proceeded in carriages from call to call, thus saving time and pre-Borvlng their attire from rain, .snow or dust.

Upon entering the parlor the caller advanced gayly toward the hostess or a lady he knew, saying, "I wish you a Happy New Year," or ho extended his wish to all the Indies by saying, "1 wish you all a Happy New Year." The old or elderly gentlemen \yho were on Intimate terms with the family or were relations were often permitted to sa-. lute the young ladies or all the ladles they were safe In honoring. Some old gentlemen, iudcod, claimed it as a rite or ceremony descended from colonial times. The caller then seated himself and exchanged a few remarks;

In a few moments the caller arose luid said he must go. Ho was then asked to take some refreshment, \yhlch ho generally did, more or less accord­ing to the circnmstanccs of ills being more or less devUcd to the table, his Intimacy with tlie family or the num­ber of tables at which he had al­ready partaken. Relatives and intimate friends having soon the table spread and kaowtng the strength of it in cer­tain delicacies tlioy might bo fond of made vigorous, assaults on it, which the ladies frequently saw with regret, not being able to renew the supply and fearing there would be none for fa­vorite callers. Others, more frugal and circumspect, kept these choice matters for the latter part of the day, when the "partlciildr''cnlicrs came.

The clergymen of that day kept open 'iiause, not only ifor their congregation; hut; when famous., like Boecher, Dr. Stores, pr .Bethuno and others, were accessible ataUliours to air who might

A NeW Year's Allegory

A" CROSS the'snowbound earth the

Now Year stepped buoyantl.V. A siilendld youth he was, with radiant eyes, full red lips aiui

the star of liopo set aliove lil.s brows. Life ciilli'il to lilin, called with a

IhousMiid eiiiier voices, and lie smiled lis he llsrenwl, reineinboriiig that for a whole year the world and the men thereon v/ero his.

i'"iir away iimlor tlio frozen sky a ila/.o of light shone like a jewel, and

ho (luickoneil Ills step.s as ho turned toward the city.

Ami, though llio lights shone iiokliy wlicii ho (iiilercil it, most of the streets wore einpiy. Only a few men were aliout, and ns tlio wind swirled at cor­ners they rail for sliellcr.

In one of the streets the New Year met a woman. A dark veil llultered around her, so that ho could not dis­tinguish her form, but her face was very sweet iis she bent and clasped a child to her heart. Tli" Now Year gave her greeilng.

"You aro Charity, 1 know," ho said. Ciiarlty laid her hand In his and

Kmiled. .Viid, for all his youth, her Biuilo sot Iilm dreiuningot grocu woods and goUlon sinislilno, of vagno, sweet things tliat were still imUnowu to him. Indeed, so deeply did ho droam that as he walked he collided with another woman.

Another woman! A gilllcrlng gas moth tills, with a

pert, powdered face, carmlncd lips and hard, bright eyes.

"All hail!" she cried mockingly. "1 Hhnll be your constant companion, for I am Sin. ami where men aro thoroyou will always tiiid mo."

H

The New Year \ face darkened. 1' to hliii, laughed loudly and, tear­ing a rose from those at her breast, tossed It to aim, as with a rustle of sill; siie passed (Ml. The rose fell on liie snow powdered walk, and when tlio New Veiir would have pick­ed it up, lo, it WHS scentless, and as Its crimson petals fell asnmier lie saw that a worm was hid In its loa rt. Another form

camo in sigiit—In the 'giirl) of a monk witiiadark "All hall!" eho cried hood aliont his mockingly, tranquil face, ilia eyes were upon tlie ground, and hl.H lips moved in prayer Cor all mankiud. So tender and pitiful was Ills face that even before he cried, "Miserere Domino!" the New Year guessed thot h's name was Mercy.

Very cold it grow as tho New Year turned Into a moan street, so cold that ho sougiit refuge in the porch of u i]arkoued liouse. Yet there provaiiod sncli a grateful warmth that he press­ed back to learn Its causo and so brnshod against a iioy—a boy with a wan, beautiful face, tangled hair and rapt eyes. Siiahhy, dcsoiate and tired ho looked, yet tiio New Your was won­derfully attracted io him.

"Why are you hero alone?" ho asked. "I am never alone," corrected tho

boy, and ho, stepped aside so thai tho New Year caught the fragrance of his b r e a t h y . •and saw tha t two groat wings woro furled lie-hind him, and In tho shadow of his wings an old man and an old woman crouched together . How tired, how poor, they looked! But an expression of ineffable tender­ness shone on their p inched faces us they lay, white head a g a i n s t ^rhlto head, chi l led hroast a g a i n s t chlllod breast.

"I am all thoy have," whisper­ed Lovo as toar.s fliledhls wonder­ful eyes. "Thoy have never fail­ed mo, and I shall stay with tliem un­til the ond."

"I am the End!'; called another voice, and a grim figure mounted the steps.

"Not yet," begged Lovo; and he tried to bar tho strangor's w-ay, But at sight of the scythe tho other bore Love's great wings drooped. ,

^ A New Year's Day | Reflection

Tenderness Shon* on Their Faces,

ALL years are not alike in viiluo to tlie race or tho individual; neither arc all

days. There are black days and white days, weeks that are bur­densome and weeks that are like a Jiiorry chime of bells, months that rumble with the tliunder of defeat and months that resound with tiio siiouts of victory.

There is no nionotouy in time. It varies as does tiio landscape. In one period it is as level as a western prairie, with no spe-ciiil experiences to mark its pas-sago; in another changes come and events occur which make the weeks resemble the Alio-ghonies, monutnin lieights gath­ered together like a grout com­pany of giants whoso shining hel­mets aro visible though you have traveled far away and stand on your horizon line; in still another some day or week with Us won­drous happeidngs rises from the plain of memory like,a veritable Mont Blanc, and though seven­ty years iie counted In your cal­endar you still see Its summit and say, "That was tho hour when uiy new life began."

New Year's Eve Among the Rayahs. Tho Greeks who dwell In Turkish

Give , them money, fruit and ail that tlicy,,can carry of St, .Basil's ciiko. Come" on, servants; fill their pockets while they give us their song!"

Then the poor children, delighted by the warm welcome of the host and the profusion of dainty things given them, sing with froii'/.y tlio romantic little ,, tale of; St, Basil, patron saint of tho , home and of the young, and end with j ; the icpUlng down of numcrpus .bless- ':\, Ihgs ;pn; the genprous family during tii6 / ' riewyear.T^Youth's: Companion. ; , ; / ,

Thanksgiving In ' Ye Olde

Colonial Dayes"

H ISTORV tells ii.s ihat in the ear­ly days In some of Iho colonies lliere wa.s a purltanlenl hatred of Christmas, and when a day

of thiinks wan set a|mrt such "super­stitious inciUH" as baron of lieof, boar's" head, plum pudding and niliico pie, all redolent of inuniories of the ancient feast, were eschewed in favor of tur­key and pumpkin pie. The colonists wore so pleased to celebrate Thanks-giving In 'this fashion uf feasting, es­pecially after they were compelled to listen lo a long sermon, that they be­gan to appoint froquoiit Thanksgiving days—sometimes for reason of victory over the Indians, then for the arrival of a supply ship or a bounllfiil har­vest, Kiiys the Washington Star.

Usually the day sei: occurred hi Au­gust, espeeliilly If it was In thanks for the harvest, li'liiiilly. In lli.Sl, Massa-ehusclls deelnreil It to be an anfiual and legal luiriilay, and all the New En.ylaiid culoiiles followed her (>xiim-lile. In llidsc (lays Thanksgiving In Its rell.u'lous cliiiracler was rather (!Url-(uis. (.In one side was the minisler whose duty seemed to bo lo predict the most direful things, and his sennniis consisted uf warning to Hie people of the awful thln.ys lo coiim. while, mi the oilier liiiiid, the peniile W(>re told to rejoice and give ihanks on that day, evoii tlioiigh the pit yawned on tlie day iioforo iind the day to come. The whole lliiiig was ii pai'iidox. for tlie wives wore comiielled to stay home and profiaro the dinner, yet they wore soundly bonil(Ml by the ministers for boi.eg absent.

Many of the sermons alnu'd at the lireferonce for the llcsh pots over spir­itual things, but after tho discourse the preacher fre(|Ucntly went to (liue with one of bis parishioners and oii-Joycd the dinner prepnr('d by the mis­tress of tlie bouse, whoso absence ho had commented on in the puliilt a'li hour before. The sermons seliloin touched on fasting, but thoy Included tho political topics of the day, wheth­er local, state or liatlomil. On one oc­casion at a 'I'liaiiksgivlng service ii Federalist pastor In Coniiecllcut pni.v-ed, "And, 0 Um\, endow President 'Jefferson with a goodly portion of thy grace, for thou, O Lord, knowest thai he needs it!"

The festal (rait of the day at that time seems to have boon entirely In the hands of the women of the fam­ily, who for days before worked quiet­ly to prepare a feast, and the deep re­ligious gloom which pervaded tlio household during those years was In a measure lightened by the suiillght of tho well cooked 'iMiaiiksgiviiig dinner. A well fattened turkey at one end of the tabic and chicken pie at tho other were the principal articles on the menu of the well to do man's Thanksgiving fea.'st. The middle cin.ss bad the chick­en pic and a small turkey, while the poor feasted on the plo nlonc. But every table, rich or poor, had a fowl of some kind and us.4ally a pltehcr of cider to wash it down. A pie made of pigeons, too, was a favorite Tlianks-glving dish. Strangers were made wel­come, and not even a tramp was turn­ed away. Unfortunately, this hospi­tality seems to have been based on a superstitious fear of liad luck I'atlier than a genuine case of charity.

Woman Who "Made" Thanksgiving. It was a woman, Mrs. Sarah J. Hale,

editress of Godoy's Lady's Book and well known as a writer, wlio cbampioii-ed tho cau.se of a national Thanksgiv­ing. Year after year she patiently fought for a national observance of Thanksgiving day, publisliing endless articles on the subject. In various ways she caused an agitation of the subject that (Inally resulted in 1850 in tile governors of most of the states of the Union annually issuing proclama­tions for Tlmnksglving. .\t her sug­gestion President Abraham Lincoln is­sued a proclamation for a national Thanksgiving for Aug. ti, ISGii, about a mouth after the battle of Gettysburg.

As a result of prolonged oxperi-^ moots, a Detroit inventor has de-' voloped a steam-power automobile whlcii seems to obviate most of the : objections usually presented by ve­hicles of its typo. In a general way it embodies many of tho best features of botli gas and steam cars. By turn­ing a switch and opening tho throttle, tho car Is started almost instantly. There are no gears, levers, or clutch to operate! while unlimited flexibility is afforded. From a snail's pace to a speed of 80 miles an hour, the car is said to run practically without en­gine vibration. There is no noise, and notliing to watch but the road. So far as appearance is concerned, the machine would ordinarily be mistak­en for a gasoline car. Fourteen miles can bo covered with a gallon of kcro" seno. The steam is condensed, after being used, and saved. This makes it possible to travel from 1,300 to 2, 000 miles without replenishing th& water supply. The fuel Is vaporizedl mixed with air in a carburetor, heat-' cd, and burned In a specially design­ed combustion cliamber. A small electric blower supplies the necessary volume of air, while the ignition is accomplished electrically.

*A MONEY WARNING.

Railroads Turn Tnble,s on the Care­less Driver of Autoiu()l>iles.

(From Railway Age Gazette.) At a time when grade crossing ac­

cidents are the source of ever-increas­ing expenditures by the railroads to cover the cost of damage suits; of further protection of cros.sings by grade .separation, gates, watchmen, warning devices, lighting, signs, etc., and unremlttent "Safety First" cam­paigns among employes and the pub­lic alike, it is refreshing to be re­minded that some responsibility rests on the public, and, furthermore, that the responsibility may be translated into dollars and cents. On June 3d a passenger train on the Chesapeake and Eastern Illinois was approaching a crossing in open country near Dan­ville,' III,, at its usual speed. Tho view was unobstructed and the whistles sounded soon enough for the driver of a vehicle near the crossing to have ample time to stop to let the train pass. A man, who was driving an automobile toward the crossing at the time, paid no heed to the warn­ings, It Is alleged, and was struck and killed. His automobile derailed and wrecked the locomotive and baggage car and caused injuries to the engi­neer, which later resulted In his death.

Mrs. Chas. Everhart, wife of the englneman, has filed sult-against Dan­iel's estate for ?5,000, and W. J. Jackson, receiver for the 0. & E. I. has begun suit for ?10,000 to cover the material damage to the train. Should these suits prove successful, they will serve as a wholesome deter­rent to carelessness by automobile drivers. Disregard of one's personal safety seems to be a common and in­curable trait of motorists. Observa­tions by the railroads in California at 34 crossings disclosed the startling fact that out of 17,000 drivers of mo­tor vehicles noted, 69 % per cent looked neither way before crossing triiskB, 2.7 per cent looked In one di-. ,!rection only, and but. 27.8 per cent Iboked both ways.' Three thousand three hundred drivers obBervedvran; ,over' the; crossings a t a reckless rate bfj speed. The prospect of a consider-able manetary loss as the result ot care^esiT .drivings, will, it la hoped, cauee autboioblle drivers to stop, look and listen to; a more appreciable extent than' they have done hereio-

ever, it has merely been idle over^ night, or during a corresponding per­iod, it starts at one. The car Is de­scribed in tho November Popular Me­chanics Magazine
