WHAT A SPARROW DID

Theodore M. r. Won Keller, in Leslies
What is perhaps the most remarkable
accident that ever occurred was reported
last month from Germany. A large tour
ing car was travelling at fair speed along
a boulevard lined with trees. Large flocks
of sparrows were in the trees, and several
boys were taking chances of being ar
rested by the police by shooting at the
birds with sling shots. One pebble, par
ticularly well aimed, struck a sparrow Oh
the upper wing and sent him gliding
through the air directly toward the driver
of the car; the bird struck him full in the
face and in the next instant things be-
gan to happen. The driver clutched at his
eyes, the car lurched into the ditch.
knocking down telegraph pole, vaulted
to a plowed field on the other side of the
ditch, and went full force into huge hay
stack. Despite this wild swerve, no one
was even scratched except the driver,
whose eyesight was damaged by the claws
of the sparrow. The whole incident had
taken far less time than needed to re-

Another Shamrock

The Royal Ulster Yacht club of Bel
fast has accepted the conditions pre-
scribed by the New York Yacht club
for series of races for the America S
cup, and in September, 1914, the
home of that battered trophy will
again be in doubt.
Sir Thomas Upton will build an
other Shamrock and send it across the
seas to compete with a boat built in
America and manned by Americans.
Sir Thomas in the past has endeav-
ored to "lift the cup" and each of his
efforts has resulted in failure. But
he has shown himself a clean and
clever sportsman, and he has won the
esteem of America if not the prize
itself, and he has repeatedly demon
strated that he appreciates the good
will which this nation has manifested
toward him.
The challenging baronet is an Irish
man whose open-heartedness and rich
good humor have not interfered with
the amassing of pretty large sec
tion of the worlds goods. He likes to
dance and is fully able to pay the
fiddler. 1t costs huge sums to build a
racing machine and send it over to
be beaten by the product of American
hands and brains, but he gets lot Of
fun out of it, and it is the kind of fun
that everybody else can enjoy without
expense.
If the famous cup is ever to see the
other side of the big pond again, all
would rejoice to see it make the trip
with Sir Thomas as it's travelling COM
panion. But we prefer to keep it for
a little while longer. 1t has been with
us many years, and old friends hate
to part.

From a Practical Viewpoint

Secretary of Commerce Redfield is
in position to put a crimp in the bonn
bastic utterances of Governor Foss of
Massachusetts regarding the manu-
facture of blowers in the United
States under the operations of the
Underwood bill. Secretary Redfield is
in the blower works business himself
and is ready to demonstrate that blow
ers can be manufactured in this coun-
try with the Underwood law in full
operation, at reasonable profit.
All that is needed is scientific and
economic administration of the manu-
facturng plant to insure returns and
prospering business, and the Secre-
tary sees no necessity of moving his
factory, or the necessity of any other
factory moving to Canada as safe
guard against bankruptcy.
Manufacturers resting easy under
the wide margins they were able to
obtain between the selling price and
the cost price because of the tariff
wall, have not given the attention to
cutting all corners in manufacturing
that they would have done had neces-
sity driven them to it. Now that this
protection is taken away they must
begin to apply scientific methods of
efficiency as an offset to the pro-
lection lost, and if they will do that
Secretary Redfield believes that they
will not find. it necessary either TO
go out of business or to cut the wages
of their employees in order to declare
reasonable dividends on the capital in
vested. In this way no one will be hurt
and the ultimate consumer will come
into his own and be given the right
which ought to have been his long
ago, to buy his wares in market
where legitimate competition obtains.

coUNTaY,s SWEETEST TRAINS

From the Philadelphia Ledger
When President Wilson makes n
quick trip across the state in rail-
road train we hear a lot about the
terrific speed" But tens of thousands
of Philadelphians who go to Atlantic
City every week ride equally fast, but
they do not seem to appreciate 1t.
All the Commute trains on both rail-
roads, and many of the other trains as
well, travel more than 70 miles an hour
for a considerable part of the distance.
Some of them hit it up to 80 miles on
particularly favorable stretches of
track.
The average speed for the entire dis
tance is around 65 miles an hour for a
few of the trains each day, and in or
der to make that average they must
do at least 10 miles part of the way.
These are Americas swiftest trains,
but they have been doing their stunt
from Philadelphia to the sea for SO
long that travellers on them forget the
novelty.

Frightening Business Outlook

While business conditions have been
sound all this year New York, the
great money center, began to give out
alarmist cries last November when
Woodrow Wilson was elected Presi-
dent and when a democratic majority
in the Senate as we'll as the House
was assured. In the east note of
pessimism could be heard all through
the winter and spring.
But the country at large was full
of optimism. The people demanded
tariff reform. They had faith in Mr..
Underwood as leader in Congress and
they had faith in Mr.. Wilson as the
chief executive.
In the early part of the summer
New York banks began to call in
loans. There was a slow panic in Wall
street and investment capital became
proverbially timid. The banks were
solid and there was no real financial
disturbance, but owing to monetary
tightness in Europe, growing out of
the Balkan war and other things, it
was difficult for New York's financial
district to feel cheerful. There has
been marked improvement, however,
within the past few days. AS far
seeing and hopeful business men have
bring on good times everywhere and
make croakers exchange a gloomy
nounced croakers exchange a gloomy
face for a smile.
The effect of tariff revision has
been discounted for some time. The
industrial world is adapting itself to
the system that will soon be in opera
ton. The New York stock market,
which is always more or less of a
barometer, is taking an upward turn.
There was much better feeling last
| week than there had been for many
weeks past and there was further i'm
proyement yesterday.
This is great country. Fifty years

Japan in Mexico

President Huerta of Mexico has
designated Gen. Felix Diaz as some
kind of an envoy to Japan, and many
theories are being spun as to the
aims and objects of his mission. Diaz
was Huerta's fellow conspirator in the
overthrow and murder of Madero, but
of late it had been suspected that the
two were no longer in complete ac-
cord, each being jealous of the share
of the other in the spoils of their
coup.
About year ago Japanese syndi-
cate attempted to obtain foothold in
Mexico, Magdalena bay being the
place coveted. The Lodge resolution,
passed by the United States Senate
last August, put stop to the nego-
tiations. Now it is again reported that
Japan is anxious to obtain possession

WRITER'S OF HIsToRrcAL SONGS

From the London Chronicle.
Most of the songs that have made
history were written by men who had
no other claim ITO immortality. The
''Marseillaise'' is the only production
of Rouget de Lisle which has survived,
and 1.-THE Wearing of the Green" was
the work of an anonymous purveyor
of ballads for the street hawkers of
Dublin. Max Schneckenburger, an OBJ
scure Swabian merchant, who never
published anything else, composed In
1910 some verses of which the burden
was thus translated:
'Dear Fatherland, no danger thine.
Firm stand thy sons to watch the
Rhine"
Little was heard OF these until so
years later. when the Franco-German
war gave them an enormous vogue.
They were then adopted as the national
anthem of United Germany, and year
ly pension of $4,000 marks was con-
ferred on the composer of the tune to
which they were set.
