How many times I've told you, sir,
The rules that win our friends
And cause the ways that hold you, sir,
To lead to joyful ends!
I've taught you all the paths OF peace
And trained your heart and mind
To see that sin and pain will cease
When all the world is kind.
You looked into my eyes and shook
Your head as if you knew
The fears and doubts ! would not

Though still they came and grew
While we have travelled far away
Together. you and /,
Meath stars of night and sun of day,
And far blue-arching sky.
And still you search my face to see
The temper of my mind,
But say no word nor call to me
To soften what you find;
You do not blame or scold me when
/ stumble, slip and fall,
Nor chide me for my faults-but then
You're just dog, that's all!

Is the World Growing Retter2

A good many people have been won
dering in the last few weeks, in the
face of the fearful conflict in Europe,
If the world is really getting better
after all. 1t is sometimes hard to
conceive how humanity is making
progress in the face Of the slaughter
of thousands of human beings and the
destruction of millions of dollars
worth of property every day.
A friend in this city of the Rev. DR..
Gregg, formerly pastor of the Congre-
gational church here, wrote to the
doctor, knowing his optimistic spirit,
and DR.. Gregg promptly responded
that he really believed that the out
come of the war would result in the
betterment of humanity, although it
was rather difficult to believe it ut
the present.
DIR. Gregg's letter was forwarded to
the Rev w H. P. Faunce, president
of Brown university, who is also well
known to many Colorado Springs
people, and DR.. Faunce responded as
follows:
was glad to get your letter, in
closing the interesting letter from
DR.. Gregg.
For myself, do not believe the
world can grow better in all direc-
tions at once. Sometimes il grows
better in physical comforts, some
times in intellectual acumen,
sometimes in courage, sometimes
in gentleness. Sometimes it grows
better in the ideals of the family
and again in ideals of the state.
Frequently advance in one direc-
tion involves temporary retro
gression in another. 1t is like
river that turns on its course
| again and again and seems as If
for a time flowing toward its
source, yet all the while it is
really making toward the open
| sea. Because God guides this
world. I am sure it will not miss
the final goal which he has mark
ed ont for it. and I am sure that
through all the devious windings
It is coming to its appointed
outcome.
The words of DR.. Faunce are vel
caucuIated TO sustain the faith Of thos'
who are ready and anxious to believe
that the world is, after all. growing
better and his simile of the windini
river is very happily chosen--Colo

DEMOCRATS GAVE BUTTON

The brass buttons for American
soldiers uniforms have been made in
England under contract awarded by
the Democratic Secretary OF War and
Democratic Secretary Of Navy.
Uncle Sans soldiers and sailors
wear lot of brass buttons. Some of
them have two double rows down the
front of their uniforms. Then. there
are army and navy ornaments, shcuI-
der straps and other kinds Of official
insignia. Uncle Sans revenue Off
GERS, under Secretary McAdoo, wear
brass buttons. too, and even the Cap
itol policemen and watchmen a. the
doors of the government departments
are adorned with these shining en-
blems of official authority.
The civilian who doesn't care much
about brass buttons anyhow may Ind
it difficult to realize that Uncle Sam
spends from sixty to seventy thousand
dollars year for brass and Bronze
buttons. but he does. In the basket
clause" of schedule G of the Demo
cratic tariff law, the duties on these
buttons was reduced from 32 per cent
to Is per cent ad valorem.
AS soon as this cut was made. an
English firm entered competition for
the button contract and because OF
cheap labor was able to underbid the
American manufacturers who had han
died the contract satisfactorily for
several years and had given employ
ment to hundreds OF men in the max.
ing of American buttons for American
soldiers.
AS soon as the contract was award
ed to British button manufacturers
New England manufacturers, na.ur
ally made a big protest. No attention
was paid to this until the protest be
came so strong that Democratic Ser
ators and Congressman from New
England saw their mistake and urged
the cancellation of these contracts

On the strength Of Iron and Steel.

Numerous tests of iron and steel
at temperatures varying from below
zero to 1900 degrees above zero, Fab
renheit, show that for ordinary at
mospheric changes of temperature in
any climate, the ultimate strength IS
not affected. Tests on various grades
OF iron and steel show that for an
increase in temperature from zero to
500 degrees F., the average tensile is
practically constant. AS the temper
ature rises above 500 degrees F. the
strength decreases rapidly. excepting
in cast iron which does not weaken
much below 900 degrees F.
Although cold does not seem to af-
feet the ultimate strength of iron or
steel, 1t does seem to affect the shock
resisting qualities of these materials.
