In matchmaking the properties here

MORALS OF WORLD ARE
SLIDING BACKWARD

New York.-Dr. Felix Adler, ad-
dressing the Society for Ethical cul-
ture, said he thought the human race
was sliding backward in its morals.
Petty stealing is common among
children" he said. "Falsehood is un-
iversal. There are few children who
can be depended upon to tell the
truth"
. He thought the hulwark of the
home was not strong enough to keep
children free from the baneful influ-
ences of outside things
Humanity" said Or Adler, "is al
ways losing ground as well as gain
ing-morally. There is slipping
back, a retrogressiOn. Mankind of the
twentieth century is losing the moral
virtues that mankind of the fifteenth
century possessed.
"The tendence of the present day is
to encourage the young to cease to
reverence their parents and the aged.
1t is nothing less than teaching them
the grossest ingratitude. The Truman
race is gradually slipping back"

DEATH REVEALS FATHER.
Living In Same City, Parent Kept
Identity Secret Through Pride.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-"Wonder If that
man can be my father" asked Felix
Gallagher. a well known Kalamazoo
cigar dealer after reading the account
OF the death Of John Gallagher in
Borgess. hospital.
The sons conviction that the dead
man was his parent grew so strong
that he went to the hospital to see
the body. He is positive the dead man
was his father.
For two years Gallagher lived in
| this city unknown to his son Felix
and another son named Charles. The
/ boys father left his home in Cham
bersburg, Pa, twentythree years ago.
II was fourteen years ago when they
saw.their father the last time. 1t was
that year that they came to Kalama-
zoo to live. The father was then trav-
cling in the eastern state. During the
past five years they have heard moth
| ing from him.
What caused the father to come to
Kalamazoo to live and not let his boys
know about it is something the sons
cannot understand.

Amusement Section.
To the eternal credit of the italian
government and the intelligent men
at the head of the Turin Fair the
amusement feature Of this. the latest
expo has been restricted to it's proper
relative proportion. Certainly there is
big section devoted solely and en-
tirely to amusement features. but it
is not the whole shcw'-not even the
largest and most important section Of
the grounds. The educational and
commercial sides of the exposition
have been put ahead of giant whirla-
gigs and oriental dancers. Although
there are many big amusement pa
vilfons, yet the predominating impress
sion carried away from Turin is one
of splendid achievements made by the
human race all over the globe and
not merely the impression of some
gigantic 5ollihcation in which all the
nations of the Earth have joined to-
gether.
Everyone probably knows the rea-
son for the Italian exposition. yet it is

the present kingdom (of which the
ancient Roman capital is the seat OF
government) is really a very new af-

fact, It Is just fifty years since Italy
vas Joined together into one strong
nation under one ruler. Before that.
Italy had been made up OF several
weak Kingdoms - several duchies and
several so-ca1led republics. So the
Turin fair is the outward and visible
sign of the immense satisfaction felt
by italians over the final union Of
the entire country and the prosperity
that has come to the nation since All

gree. The fire that helped to melt
the metal and shape it in the first
place will again reduce the particles
to moulten mass for further shap-
ing, and at the same time purify it of
it's mold.
Lead, for instance has market
value that changes but little, even as
the metal changes but slightly in the
remelting of it. At the present time
it is the most valuable of all scrap or
junk because it is so easily converted
into its original condition of slabs or
pigs. To the manufacturer Of lead
pipe the shape of the metal when he
receives 1t is but a small matter In
pigs or in sections of old pipe it is
pretty much the same for before he
can use it it must be melted. The
writer once saw a CARLOAD of bullets
said to have been dug up at Gettys-
burg being dumped into a pot and
later being run into pipe.
Brass, likewise, is a valuable metal
but 1t requires more heat to melt it
hence it is more troublesome to han
die. Foundries. however, are equip
