THE HAT-PIN MENACE

Everyone knows that a hat-pin
point protruding several inches be-
yond the brim of woman's hat is a
source of danger to anyone in close
proximity to the wearer of the pin.
Probably no one sees the more serious
consequences so frequently as the eye
specialist. Sometimes the injury CON
sists of mere scratch, which heals
readily and leaves no permanent de-
feet. On the other hand, every low
and then the scratch becomes infect
ed and serious impairment of sight, if
not actual loss of the eye results. One
who has seen these bad results is for
ever alarmed for himself and others
when he sees a protruding hat-pin
point in a crowded car or theater lob
by or wherever people are closely
crowded together. 1t ought not to
be necessary to pass laws to prevent
such accidents, but as the number
of such cases does not decrease it
would seem to be desirable to make
the wearing of shorter hat-pins obi
gatory. There are devices on the
market for covering and protecting
the end of hat-pin which are effec-
tive and inexpensive. Any jeweler
can shorten long hat-pin in few
minutes and at cost of few cents
and thereby. perhaps, save a fellow
beings eye.

ATTITUDES IN KANSAS AND
NEBRASKA

The exact attitudes of about 275
points in Kansas and $50 points in
Nebraska are given in Bulletin 473, is
sued by the United States Geological
Survey, as determined by spirit levels
run in connection with the Surveys
topographic mapping. The highest
point in Kansas noted in the bullitin
is in the Syracuse quadrangle, 1922
feet above mean sea level, and the
highest point in Nebraska is in the
Browns Greek quadrangle, 4,370 feet
above mean sea level.
The topographic maps published by
the Survey show the elevations of
points within the areas mapped to the
nearest foot, but those given in the
bulletins on spirit leveling are exact
and are especially valuable to engin-
GERS and surveyors. Those who have
occasion to use the bench-mark eleva-
tons should refer to Bulletin 473 or
apply to the Director of the Geologi-
cal Survey at Washington, d. c., for
the latest adjusted values, using the
bench markings as Identification num-
bers only.
The Survey bulletins on spirit level
ing, each covering one or more States
when completed will form valuable
series because the elevations of most
of the datum points are given in
thousandths of foot and the points
are so described and marked as to be
easily identified.
A copy of Bulletin 473 may be OBJ
tanned free on application to the Di-
rector of the Survey at Washington.

What Are the Mansions In the Sky"
to Be!
In tho 4 nl.il Wonan,. Hama Can,

In the April WOman's Home Com
panion Charles E. jefferson, pastor OF
the Broadway Tabernacle in New
York City, writes an Easter sermon
entitled THE Other World" At the
beginning of the article he quotes the
passage from John: "In my Faith
er's house are many mansions" With
respect to the word mansions" he
says:
THE appearance of the word Man
sions' in this sentence is unfortunate
1t does not convey to our mind the
atmosphere or content of the Greek
noun for which the word stands. The
Revisers have not ventured to take il
out although they are good enough to
remind us in the margin that it is per-
missibe to substitute for it abiding
places Some scholars prefer rooms
or 'abodes', others do not like to sur
render the original meaning of the
Greek word, stopping places or sta
tions Any one of them is better
than mansions
THE trouble with the word man
sions' is that it is too splendid. 1t
suggests a house imposing and pre-
tentious. 1t makes us think of a pa
lace. We enjoy walking through a
palace, but we have no desire to make
our home there We are lowly born,
and our tastes are humble. A cottage
is cozier and more comfortable than
a mansion, and if you call heaven a
mansion you use word which does
not soothe or WOO the heart"

THE FARM MUST COMPETE

Whenever the farm becomes profit
able and offers greater indictment as
a useful field for the talents of the
young people the city will no longer
outbid the country for the most am
bilious boys and girls now on our
farms. Farming has had many OBJ
stacles to prevent it from competing
with the most intellectual and best
trained people. The evolution of
other business has been so striking,
so sudden and so apparently remu-
nerative that the farm has lost many
of it's bids for better trained work
men.
The farm must be improved both in
soil fertility and in attractiveness, in
buildings, paintings, etc. The yield
of farm crops must he increased in
such manner that the future will
be full of hope as a competence and
as business comparable to other
business. The young people who have
received better training than their
parents because the present income
from the farm affords it must have as
surance that their education and
training will enable them to receive
returns adequate to the talent and
means employed to secure it. To make
this possible the soil must be i'm
proved so that it will yield larger
crops at small expense.
Nothing has a tendency to dis
courage our young people more than
the waste in marketing farm, orchard
garden poultry and livestock prod
ucts. While gross prices are some
what higher than few years ago the
fact cannot be concealed that the ex-
pense of production is much greater
and that the methods we now employ
in selling give others more of the con-
sumer's dollar than the producer re
ceiVes. This unfairness toward the
producer gives other business an ad-
vantage when farmers boys and girls
are looking for an occupation that af-
fords an opportunity for competence
and due compensation. While even
under present wasteful conditions of
marketing the farm is holding its own
with other occupations, it does not APP
peal to many young people who be-
come discouraged because they see
others getting more than their share
of the producers dollar
BY meeting our neighbors as pro
gressive, unselfsh citizens. rather
than as farmers, business men and
transportation companies, we can ac-
just many of the sources of waste and
render society and the country in
which we live great service. The
paramount question should be justice,
honor and useful service, with the re-
suit that labor shall have adequate
compensation and capital shall serve
the people better. The young people
of today expect this at our hands
and their success and that of their
children and grandchildren will be
largely determined by the manner in
which we meet our obligations as in
tellirent citizens of the state and ma
tion-Farm and Ranch.

GERMAN TRADE THRIVES
WHILE WAR RACES ON
Economic Conditions in Teuton State
Hold Their Own-Business
Men Optimistic.

Geo 5e S. Atwood. secretary Of the
American Association of Commerce and
Trade in Berlin, after twenty odd years
experience respecting American trade
with Germany, maintained last Tuesday
night in an address before the Washing
ton Board of Trade that after the war
Germany would take almost anything
the United States had to offer, and asked
American manufacturers and exporters
to cooperate to this end with the Ber-
lin association. Mr.. Atwood. fresh from
Germany. referred to the normal COndi
tions at present existing in that country,
saying that the theaters were all open,
the movies doing a thriving business, the
retail and department stores still being
well patrOniZed. and no lack of electric
cabs and omnibusses.
The metal, textile. chemical, clothing
and leather goods industries, especially.
arc working on normal time The special
credit institutions established by the gov
ernment have a billion marks for loan to
Merchants at per cent. Germany needs
cotton, and it could be carried into Ger
man ports in American oorIoms. Octo-
Der L the government established maxi
mum prices for food stuffs in order to
ensure steady provision for food at nor
NAL prices. Germany has more than
enough rye to last until the next har-
vest and wheat enough imported in 1913
from the United States to answer i'm
mediate demands The copper mines are
being worked and will prove sufficient
for the needs of the army.
The miners have not been taken for
the army, and Krupp has 5000 hands
still at work. Most of the firms. includ-
Ing the American ones, are working on
haf-time and paying half-wage6. Owing
to the continuation of government and
municipal buildings. the number of the
employed has been kept at a normal fig
ure The war loan was not subscribed to by
the banks, but by the hoarders of small
savings and large firms. Two hundred
thousand signed for 100 to 200 marks: ZOO
900 for 80 to-2,OOO marks. and 10000 signed
for larger sums.
1t can be said that Germany's economic
condition is good. based upon its sound
financial organization and the great alb
soTbing capacity of its home market.
Trade and commerce continue and the
German business world is looking very
confidently into the future.
