TRAFFIC COMPLETELY TIED UP,
BY THE STRIKE
indianapolis, Nov. 3.-Union Lead
ers point to the strike of the car men
as one of the most successful in the
international unions history. Traffic
is completely tied up and not a local
or interurban car has moved in the
city for over "a hours
1t is declared that politicians Of all
parties have taken labor's side in the
trouble and that tremendous pressure
has been brought to bear on the au-
thorities to remain neutral until after
the election tomorrow, when it is ex-
pected that the cars will start under
heavy police protection and the first
real effort made to break the strike.
An autopsy on the body of Isaac
Fleisher, the young strikebreaker
killed in yesterdays rioting at the
car barns, showed that he had been
shot from behind. Except that his
home is supposed to be in Philadel-
phia, nothing is known about
Fleisher.
Three men have been wounded by
glancing bullets fired at the ground
by policemen, and a score have been
slightly injured by flying bricks.

WHERE. HISTORY WAS MADE
Old City Of Utrecht Scene OF Drawing
Up Of One Of Worlds Most I'M
portant Documents,


The ancient city of Utrecht, some
twenty odd miles from Dutch Amster-
dam, was the scene, on April II, 1913,
Of an international congress Of large
importance to both the old world and
the new, though we of today may have
quite forgotten what it's work
amounted to. The Treaty Of Utrecht,
drawn and endorsed by the minis
ters Of Anne Of England, Louis XIV.
of France, Philip V. Of Spain and the
Emperor Charles VI. Of Germany, not
merely set official period to the long
continued WAR of the Spanish Success
sion," as history has dubbed the CAM
paigns led so brilliantly on the side
Of the allied powers by the great MARI
borough and Prince Eugene of Savoy,
but 1t definitely decided several mat.
ters Of no little weight to two CONT
nents. In that day the one most i'm.
portant result seemed to be the per-
petual separation Of the crowns Of
France and Spain, but We see of
greater import the recognition of the
Protestant succession to the British
crown; the enlargement Of the British
colonies on this western side Of the
Atlantic, by the cession to England of
Hudson's Bay, Newfoundland, and that
Acadia, immortalized. in Longfellow's
"Evangeline;" and the. Spanish grant
Of Gibraltar to. the government Of
Queen Anne. Spain also lost the
Netherlands to Austria.

NURSES OF $50. YEARS AGO
Old Time Article Tells the Difficult
Duties and Requirements Of Their
Profession.

In their History of Nursing" the
authors, Miss Nutting and Miss Dock.
quote from an article written in 1894,
which gives an insight into what was
required of the trained nurse in the
eighteenth century. The article says:
This occupation is as important for
humanity as its functions are low and
repugnant. All persons are not
adapted to it. and the heads of hospi-
tails ought to be difficult to please, for
the lives of patients may depend upon
their choice Of applicants. The nurse
should be patient. mild, compassion.
ate. She should console the sick.
foresee their needs, and relieve their
tedium. The domestic duties of the
nurse are: To light the fires in the
wards and keep them going; to carry
and distribute nourishment; to accom-.
pany the surgeons and doctors on
their rounds, and afterwards to re-
move all dressings, ETC.; to sweep the
halls and wards, and keep the persons
of the patients and their surroundings
clean; to empty all vessels, and
change the patients linen: to prevent
noise and quarreling and distur-
Dances; to notify the steward of
everything they see which is wrong:
to carry out the dead and bury them:
to light the lamps in the evening, and
visit the sick during the night, and
to watch them continually, giving them
every aid which their state requires.

"IT's WHAT YOU ARE TODAY"
Not What People May Have to Say
About You, That Really Draws
Balance Of Your Merit.

In q little article in the American
Magazine, William Johnston says:
ut is not what people say about
you-it's what you are that counts.
The one person in all this world whom
you should aim to satisfy is your
self. You alone know yourself. Other
people know your outward appearance,
your actions. your deeds, your ambi.
tons, your thought.
Are you satisfied with yourself7
1t is your own fault il you are not.
Are you satisfied that you are doing
the best you can in your work: that
you are making the most Of your
time? Are you confident that your
conduct toward your family, your
friends, your neighbors, your en-.
ployer, cannot be improved?
Look yourself straight in the face
this morning, in your minds looking.
glass. Ask yourself whether it is
what people say about you or what
you are that hurts. Analze your own
conduct in all matters.
Put yourself in the other fellows

through his eyes. Imagine that you
are your employer instead Of your.
self. Answer honestly whether IL he
knew as much about you as you know
about yourself he would discharge you
or would raise your wages. If you
do this conscientiously there are many
things you will do differently.
Remember this, too. Other peo.
pies opinion Of you is based on your
own opinion Of yourself. Are you
self-respecting? Other people will re.
spect you. Are you truthful? The
world will believe you. Are you hon.
est? Everyone will trust you.
But weigh yourself frequently.
Weigh yourself carefully. Be certain
that your own opinion Of yourself
is justified. Be satisfied with your
SELF"

BEAT ALL RECORDS BADLY
Irish Athlete Ran In No Time, for the
Stop Watch Had Actually
Stopped.

An Irish athlete, who was training
for mile race. which he had very
high hopes Of winning, went one day.
accompanied by his man, Pat, to have
a trial in a field convenient to his
own house.
NOW, Pat" said Mis- master. AZ he
handed him his watch, mind that you
note the correct time in which start
and finish"
Pat. who. by the way, was very
proud Of his young masters pro~ess
in the athletic arena, assured him that
he would make no mistake. -:
Now, 1t happened that by some I'M
lucky chance the watched stopped at
the precise moment in which he
started to run.
Having put his best effort into the
race, the athlete finished almost ex.
hausted.

watch. and, on looking at 1t for the

The use of the microscope is recon.
mended in the kitchen, If not of the
ordinary house. at least of those hav.
ing an army of servants and purchas-
ing by wholesale. In hotels, boarding
houses, hospitals, jails. it's use in our
complicated modern life ia becoming
essential. and the need is based upon
the necessity of determining the de-
gree of adulteration of food. The chef
has no excuse for not knowing what
he buys II he Is provided with q
microscope. ..
In starchy substances the adultera-
tions will soon be revealed by the
microscope II the grains of starch
do not have the selfsame form in the
potato and In rice. The same thing
may be said Of the spices. Pepper
can be adulterated only with peas or
ground beans. and this fraud also
may be readily detected. The, rule
may be almost universally applied to
all foods that pass through the kitch.
en-, and especially the kitchens Of the
wealthy. Coffee under the microscope
does not look like chicory in structure
and chocolate made with peanuts, does
not look like pure chocolate.-Har.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO SWIM
Valuable Course Has Been Added to
the Public Schools Of the City
Of Pittsburgh.

A course in swimming has been
added to the required studies in the
public schools Of Pittsburgh, and DR.
Watson L. Savage is quoted as saying
that he will see to it that every child
in the city is taught to swim. This
is a step in public education that de-
serves the hearty approval of every
parent and every seeker Of the public
welfare.
ITO ride, to shoot and to speak the
TRUTH" was the ancient Persian ideal
of education. Needless to say, this was
for boys only; girls in this day fare
better than when the maxim was
made. They are taught to exercise
as we'll as to develop their brains
nowadays. Alike boys and girls ought
to learn to swim, and the public
should provide means Of teaching that
most valuable and pleasurable accom-.
plishment.
Swimming is q. splendid sport; it
develops muscles rarely used in other
sports and its usefulness is beyond
question. Yet comparatively few per-
sons learn to swim. There are sailors
who have spent many years on the
water but are unable to keep ahoat
when suddenly cast into the element
With which they ought to be thorough.
ly acquainted. Drownings are far too
numerous; knowledge Of how to swim
would greatly lessen their number.
May the time soon come when every
child who passes through the public
schools will have learned how to
swim. r.,
