WAR GIVES NO COMPENSATION

WAX GIVES NO COMPENSATION.
One consequence Of the lamentable
European war is that the demand for
copper has fallen nearly to zero. Eur
ope used nearly 60 per cent Of the
copper produced in this country, and,
Of course, all large. electric ~installa-
tons have ceased for the time being,
even in England. Everywhere in the
west mines and smelters are being
closed and thousands Of men thrown
out OF employment. The smelling Of
impetus, for more than half Of the
zinc ore Of the world was smelted in
Belgium, not far from Liege. These
works are closed, and zinc, or 'spelt-
err" as it called in the trade, has risen
to $40 a ton. This, of course, is a
piece Of good fortune to the miners
and smelters of Missouri, Kansas, Col
orado n Montana. particularly II
they happen to have a few thousand
tons in stock.
AS a rule, war hurts everybody by
deranging industry, upsetting values
and stopping sales, but even when one
neutral country may make a temper
airy gain in some one particular 1t is
offset by loss in another, and is far
more equaling the loss to belligerents.
War is hardest on the wage-earn-
ing class. They are the ones that are
killed or manned, and the immense
loss of capital during the war lessons
h fund out Of which wages are ad-
vanced. War is lever justified, except
when waged for national existence. Its
economic compeneations are trivial,
and are cases Of robbing Peter Of five
dollars to pay Paul one.

THE MUSE.
What She Does

What She Does.
She comes at early morning,
She comes at sunsets glow,
She sends no word Of warning,
But what she wants to know;
For, If you question squarely
Our knowledge SUR we'll own
And speak her greeting rairly:
PLEASE, may I use your phone?"
Full long she'll sit there talking
Pure bosh-that point we press;
And all the while she's baking
Our family business.
She giggles and she chatters
Until we feebly groan.
But all to her that matters
Is that she holds the phone.
To see her hurt would grieve me,
Her smiles so friendly sweet:
But some bright day, believe me.
I'll try q cure complete.
To stay her and unmask her
I'LL match her dulcet tone
And just trip up and ask her:
PLEASE may 1 use my phone
