1t will be noted that the Knights of Pythias not
only exclude from membership in their order saloon
keepers and bartenders but hotelkeepers who permit
liquor to be sold their premises. Supreme Chan

refusing membership to stockholders in liquor estab
lisliments
The extracts from Chancellor Carvings report

RAINBOW SIGNS IN
A BUSINESS WAY

Three or four items of news that
 have not figured on the front page
 during the last day or two, are a
 good deal more important to us in
 business sense than the reports
 Of desperate battles in Belgium and
 Franace. One was the statement published in dispatch from Phila-
 de!phia that as a result of the
 rapidly increasing foreign demand
 for anthracite coal number of
 solliers which were closed last spring are making preparations for early resumption in october, Thous- ands of men who have been out of work or on half time are promised full time, beginning on Labor Day. Orders for coal are pouring into Pennsylvania from every port on the globe. The Belgian and Russian coal fields are affected by the war, which has also curtailed the activi- ty of the Welch mines. Europe is calling for our coal, just as she is calling for our wheat.
 Another encouraging item comes from Pittsburgh, which reports tha the steel companies there are com pleting arrangements that are e1- pected to develop a tremendous amount of actual business out of the wide inquiry of steel now steadily coming to them from Europe, South America and other countries. Within tOrty-eight hours inquiries had been received for semi-finishing steel. to- talirg more than 100000 tons, com ing from England alone.
 Another cheering note Is sounded by New York dispatch which points to the unemployment of a large number of steyedOres and ship laborers indicating the gradual re- turn of normal conditions in the field.
 All these are rainbow Digns show- ing that the flood of business dis turbance is beginning to abate. We are still short of ocean transporta- ton, but we have got the foreign l demand, we have got the goods to supply it, and we have the money | to get the ships. Under the cir 1t will be impossible to bottle up our commerce much longer. Its outward flow has, in fact. al ready been resumed to some extent. But it will not be long before it wll be represented by a great ar mada of peaceful ships conveying to Europe and south America the food and the industrial products which they can get nowhere else sun.

"coNCmIATIoN" COURT
 PROVES BIG SUCCESS

Cleveland, Oct. 15-Informal in-
 Vestigation by social workers at
 Cleveland's municipal courts Mon
 day showed perhaps the most valu-
 able service rendered by those in-
 stitutions is that the Consolidation"
 court, the only of it's kind ih
 America.
 Pounded by Judge Manuel Levine, a Russian Jew, the work of this stranger to American justice has come to be looked upon as indispen- sable.
 To temper justice with common sense, to reduce court costs to q minimum, to render procedure so simple as to be understood by even the uneducated foreigner-these are to be the three main objects Judge Levine has in mind in con- ducting his court.
 A foreign woman recently came into the court with c suit Of S10 against a boarder whom she claimed burned her mattress while. smoking cigarettes in bed. The boarder refused to pay the sum de- claring it was too much. Judge Levine reached for his telephone and called a department store. He found such a mattress as the one destroyed could be bought for $2.5O. The boarder paid this sum and the landlady was satisfied. Many such cases are disposed of in a day. Some re- quire only few minutes. Others require patient inquiry and an hour Of "conciliation" talk by the judge and his interpreters, but in the end the contending parties are sent away satisfied and the object of the court has been reached. Scarcely less interesting than the work of this strange court is it's founder. Judge Levine. Levine emigratei to America as a boy, and the for eign accent has never quite left his speech. He attracted notice as police prosecutor, when he drove from the police courts, horde of ambulance chasing shysters and professional bondsmen. Then through his efforts the police courts were replaced by munici- pal courts presided over by elect Id judges. AS one of the first | judges of the new courts, Levine | set out to revolutionize CleYeland's methods of dealing with the juven- .Ie offender. He accomplished | hat too, and then came the work i of which he Is proudest the estab- fishing of Americas only "eoncilia- ion" court.

NEW PARCEL POST RATES.
Make Considerable Reduction in Fee and h.
 crease Weight from II to 20 Pounds.

The new parcel post regulation which went into effect January st increases the weight of parcels to be carried from 20 to 50 pounds in the first two zones and from to 20 pounds in the other six zones
 These new rates mean a consid- erable reduction in fees to be paid by the public and also permit the shipment of many articles by parcel post that heretofore were barred on account of weight.
 The cheapness of the insurance feature along with the new rates will make the parcel post far more popular this year than it was last. You car insure parcels up to the value of S25 % for 5 cents and up to $5OOO value for 10 cents. Parcels may also sent c. o. D up- on the payment of a 10 cent fee additional to postage
 One thing in connection with the system, however. that the public has to become educated up to is the fact that parcels must be se- eurely packed to insure safe deliv hry. This is necessary with ex- press and even more so with mail.
 If patrons would remember this and always use strong boxes and heavy string. tied in way that it cannot come off. much inconven- fence would be overcome, as post masters are instructed not t re- eeiye for mailing packages not thus prepared
 Effective March Is, 1914, books weighing up to 8 ounces will be carried for cent for each 9 ounces, and when weighing over 8 ounces will be accepted at the regular zone rates.
 The parcel post system passed through the first Christmas busi- ness o K. and will no doubt con- tinue to be very popular with the public, especially under the re- duced cost and increased weight ruling.
