That an important strike has
recently been made near Fort Glib

CLEVELAND, Jan. 6.-Would
you think a man is lucky to have
a wooden leg?
Miles Mahon of Cleveland, who
has one-or rather had one, has
figured out it's advantages to him
and is thanking Providence for
what he had before counted as an
affliction.
Mahon was caught between two
street cars and his leg from the
knee down was smashed. Now, it
happens that just that part of his
leg was wooden.
1t was very ordinary wooden
leg with a peg bottom. He can get
a new one like 1t for about IS,
which is a good deal to Mahon,
who is a poor laborer.
But Mahon chooses to look on
the bright side of things-even to
the point of finding JOY in a
wooden leg. He has obtained es-
Inmates of what the cost would
have been to him had his smashed
leg been of flesh and bone. The
figures follow:
Ambulance service .....$ 500
Amputation 49,. ...... 10000
Hospital expenses ...... 1000
Wooden leg ...... 49,. 800
Total expense ....... $4,000
To this he adds three months
loss of pay ($120), bringing the
grand total up to $273.
Still further, Mahon adds the
inestimable pain of crushed
limb and the mental anguish that
would have been involved in this
heavy expense.
So Mahon blithely whistles as
he hobbies on a borrowed crutch
from a cabinet maker to black
smith and on to haness maker
fitting together the parts of a new
wooden leg.
He feels himself to be $265 to
the good just as truly as though

SENATOR SMITH ATTACKS
TRADESMEN OF GERMANY
Michigan Statesman Speaks on Con-
trIbution of Chamber Of Commerce
to Tariff Statement.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-There was
another furry over the German tariff
statement in the senate today. 1t oc-
CURED when the resolution OF La Fol
lette came up calling on the state de-
partment to submit to the senate all
the correspondence involved in the
securing OF that statement from Ger
many. Senator Smith, Of Michigan,
strongly assailed the contribution or
the Augsburg Chamber OF Commerce
TO that statement. The Augsburg folks
say that a weaver in that place gets
only half as high wages as a weaver
in the United States, but that the diff
ference is about equalized by the low
er cost OF living in Germany.
Smith denounced the reference to
the standard of living in this country
as voluntary impertinence. The
tariff, he said, was to be based on the
difference in wages. The standard OF
living OF wooden workers In this coun'
try was their own business and the
higher 1t was the more creditable TO
them.

ment. He said he merely asked a
