he had decided to make them a prop

This was that they either buy out
the firms shipyards, which the trade
unions had enough money to do, or
enter into a partnership. The work.
men left the hall rather sobered, with
six weeks In which to make their de-
cision.
The incident has caused a sensation
In England, where, however, many
proft'sharing enterprises have receiv-
ed theoretical approval.
II the men accept they will not
make a success" declared one of the

Charles Flowers, In his speeches
Thursday evening. took number OF
raps at Mayor Thompson's street rail
way record. He reiterated the state
men that Thompson had three times
tried to get through the council. over
Mayor Pingree's veto, an ordinance
giving the Citizens Street Railway
Co. a 30-year franchise with tickets
eight for a quarter during the daytime
and Ave cents straight at night with
no transfers whatever.
Thompson was right only once on
the street railway question and that
was in regard to the Detroit Railway
franchise, which everybody favored,
and he would have been very lonesome
II he had stood against that" said
Flowers. He was against Pingree
when the old man wanted to pur.
chase the street railway system. He
was against the Codd.Hutchins ordin.
ance two years ago and promised that
he would get three-cent fares. Many
people were told that they would get
three-cent fares the next day II be
were elected.
I'VE still hear the jingle Of tho
nickels and there will be- no settle
ment until you get Republican mayor
working with Republican council.
Thompson was sunshine patriot
In the Pingree days. He was always
trying to make deal or get q relative
appointed. II was necessary for Pin.
gree to give him resolutions to intro
duce tokeep him In line.
Where was Breitmeyer during that
timer There never was q convention
called to nominate Pingree but that
Breitmeyer was there. We could
always depend on him."
Charles c. Simons, who wan q dele.
gate to the constitutional convention
takes issue with Mayor Thompson as
to the latter's part In getting the clause
INTO the new state constitution provid
Ing for municipal ownership OF public
utilities.
Thompson appeared with other
mayors OF a number OF cities and
argued In favor Of the plan" says
Simons. He did neither more nor
less than others. As to his claim
that he sent Hally to the convention
for this purpose. have always had
an idea that the voters OF the third
district sent Hally. Mr.. Hally was NOT
member OF the committee that had
the matter In charge. He merely voted
for II after II was reported out"

they are wanted again it is only neces-
sary to straighten the branches out

When the inventor was a girl, fifty
five or sixty years ago. In Munich, she
went to one Of those schools where
German girls are taught to do, as her
daughter says, everything NIT the
hands," 1t was having to make
wreaths out Of beads that suggested
to her the notion of making bead
Christmas trees. She set to work and
fashioned innumerable tiny loops of
green beads, each at the end of long,
slender wire. She bound the loops to-
gether In threes, making trefoils. and
the trefoils into branches and the
branches into a tapering trunk, the
trunk being formed Of nothing at all
but the individual wires massed to-
gether. Then she trimmed the tree
with candles and those tiny waxen fig
ures which the Germans are adopts at
making and fixed it In pot of sand
and melted wax. Her parents were
quite proud OF 1t. Her father, who
was director of the Hofgarten in Mu-
Mich, showed II to his royal master.

one for the Christmas festivities at

After coming to this country she sent

Fortune For Toys For the Poor.

The poor children Of PittSburg and
Allegheny are to benefit through the
expenditure Of an estate valued at
$4,000. left by the late George 3.
Mutt. The will provides that the es-
tate shall go to the wife during her
lifetime and then is to be divided
among his children equally. If the
children all die before their mother, at
her death the estate is to be spent for
the purchase Of gifts and playthings
for poor children. especially those in
institutions. 1t was the wish Of the
decedent that the money be expended
in small sums, to distribute it over as
large an area MS possible and benefit
as many children as possible.

Kidney Diseases Cause Half
The Common Aches And
Ills of East Jordan
People.

AS one weak link weakens chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body snffers from the excess of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor ard
urinary ills come. and there is an ever
increasing tendency toward diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease. There is
no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.

the ffidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
Mrs. L. j. Beals. living at 402 Lib

"Mr. Beas suffered severely from
aches and pains arising from dis
