ably If they run short of funds
other citizens will gladly help carry
put an enterprise that promises to
keep racing-machines off the public
highways.

By courtesy of the authorities GER
tain club Of women recently question
ed the six hundred children in q city
grammar-school about the money
earned by them or given to them, ana
the uses they make Of it. The children
were of both sexes, represented
both native and immigrant parcntage,
ranged in age from nine to fifteen
years, and belonged to the class to
which the average citizen belongs,
that Of the comfortably poor" All
Of these children but one boy-who
may have been a humorist-admitted
that they frequently had money to
spent or to save. Fewer than one
third received an allowance. Five
sixths earned more or less money.
Two-thirds said that they generally
got money in haphazard fashion,
whenever l ask for it." Easy come,
easy go. The money thus carelessly
given was as carelessly spent, most
Of it for candy. Not half the children
were advised by their parents what
In this respect American parents made
the worst showing Of all. Theirs will
be the blame il, twenty years hence,
their children are living from hand
to mouth when children Of the i'm
migrants are buying real estate. To
give son or daughter q regular al
lowance is wise measure, but that
is only the beginning Of wisdom. He
or she should be taught to get the
worth Of money spent, and exhorted,
too, not to spend all. Most Ameri-
cans dislike to seem parsimonious, and
therefore neglect to talk over financial
matters with their children. Their
German and Italian neighbors are not
so afraid Of intoxicating thrift and fore
thought Would that the native could
grasp the truth they act upon, that
spendthrift is as foolish creature
as a miser!

BLA1RMORE, N. w. T., May 4.-The
loud reports caused by the limestone crum-

kept up the greater part of Sunday, echoed
dolefully through the empty town of Frank.
There were almost no signs of life in the
place, as the police maintained a rigid

town except persons having property to
move or look after.

SHORT OF CLEAN LINEN
Laundry Workers Strike in Chica 90
Causes Embarrassment

CHICAGO. May 4.-Serious as is the
shortage in clean linen and napery in Chi
cago this week promises to bring a far
worse condition of affairs unless the laun-
dry workers strike is ended. Rather than
continue doing business with a crippled
working force every large steam laundry in
the city will close down today The pro-
prietors have decided that even the sub
urban firms must lock out their workers.
and last night they sent committee to
Evanston to request the firms there to Join
In the fight. The hotels and restaurants of
the down town districts are already in
straits for clean goods.
A number of restaurants are using paper
napkins. Most of the smaller hotels and
some of the larger ones have notified guests
of their inability to attend to bundle

overrun with orders, but should they run
day and night they cannot relieve the sit
uation. The Chinese laundry men are

PROGRAM AS TO MANcHUR1A
It is Said That Russia Will Execute It's
Original Plan.

The Chinese minister called upon Secre-
tary Hay at the State Department today,
and, Of course. Manchuria was discussed.
There Is good reason to believe that the
negotiations have taken more favorable
turn and that the Russian coup, which was
expected, has been either abandoned or in
definitely postponed. 1t is understood that
this involves no retreat on the part of the
Russian government from any position Of
flcially taken. Certain inquiries were ad-
dressed by M. Plancon. the Russian charge
at Peking, to the Chinese government re-
specting the Chinese purpose as to Man
churia. The Russians hold that these were
enormously taken to be a set of demands
AS matter Of fact, they were nothing but
inquiries, and, the Chinese answers being
taken as satisfactory, the Russian govern
ment has decided to carry out It's original
program for the evacuation of Manchuria
which will consume several months.

FOR INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
Chicago Federation Of Labor Takes ar
Important Step.


CHICAGO, May 4.-Advocates of indus
trial peace have won a victory in the Chi
cago Federation of Labor that will be a
check on mushroom strikes and it is be-
ieved will prevent repetition of the labor
controversies that have marked the last
two months.
Two weeks ago the Federation refused
to adopt a peace compact preventing all
unions less than a year old from starting
a strike, but now 1t has decided to make
it's executive board a mediator in all dis
putes and ordered all affiliated locals to
submit their troubles to this board for
adjustment.
This course will insure peace negotia-
tions before strike is called and will bring
to end such walk-outs as those at the
Deering Harvester Plant and in the various
laundries of the city. 1t also probably will
head off trouble at the Mccormick Harvey
works, at the numerous restaurants and
at the freight houses.
