should concentrate as for years past
they have done in our large cities
and industrial centers. Statements
have been made and denied to the ef-
feet that there were more sunemploy+
ed in New York this year than usual.
This may be true without meaning
that there is ony abnormal excess Of
unemployed in tho whole country.
New York City is known to be in the
act OF spending several hundred mil
lions upon subway construction. !
Furthermore It is well known
that New York provides literally for
the unemployed through ftstyast .prls

IN attractive factor to some out. of
work. All these factors would nat
1lrally draw the unemployed to that

The Seattle epidemic shows how much of real
danger there is from this disease when it gains
foothold because of neglect of precautions.
Surgeon Lloyd of the public health service recently
reported that up to the beginning of June there had
been 361 of canine rabies in the city of Seattle
since the outbreak of the disease in September. 1913.
Up this the disease had not been observed in Seat
tie. Indeed of the inhabitants of the Puget
Sound region have been accustomed to emphasize
the healthfulneSS of their climate and soil by calling
attention the absence of rabies.
This is what may occur practically anywhere
in this country if the nfrequency of the disease be-

munity. Careful registration of animals and the
destruction of those for which no one would assume
responsibility to the extent of paying a yearly
license would greatly limit the disease. The prob
lem is simpler in England. but the success in prac-
ticaly oblteratng the disease for the last twenty
years in that country shows what can be accom-
plished We need intelligent, persistent scientific
interest to prevent the spread of the disease and not
the annual attack of hystera that lnflicts cruelty
without accomplishing any good purpose.

VARIOUS SORTS OF SMOKERS

Young very young men, in their earlier
smoking days, like to keep the ash on cigar as
long as it will stay. Somebody has told them that
it is mark of good cigar for 1t to have an ASH
that does not crumble fall off. 1t is at least
true that a long ash marks the cigar as one made
with long filler.
The young man smoker who likes to see the
ash grow and hang handles his cigar with great
care, so to joggle it off and If he smokes
up the whole cigar without dropping the ASH he
thinks that he has been smoking good cigar and
that he is good smoker.
AS he grows older the young man comes to be
a smoker of another sort He flickers the ash OH
his cigar jauntily. Then, he grows older still,
he may to be careless about the ash. or he
may be engrossed about other things, and that as
he smokes, he let's the ash accumulate, to drop
maybe on his garments and cover them with ashes
Still later in his life the grown, mature man
is likely to knock the ash off his cigar at frequent
business like way; he doesn't want the ashes scat
tered him. But he grows older yet when
he comes to be Oldish man, he may come again
he smokes to keep the ash on the cigar as long
he can.
You may see the old man smoking a cigar thus,
holding it carefully and smoking it slowly and con-
templatively, looking at the ash occasionally and
clearly interested in seeing it grow, just as he did
when he young. Why he does this now is I'M
certain, but perhaps, it is because it brings back
memories of his youth.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

sLAvs PREDICT AUsTRIA's RUIN

Disruption and disntegration OF the Austro- Hun
garan empire direct result of the war with
Servia and the Slavic peoples in the Balkans was
predicted by John r. Paendech, editor OF the United
Servian and the Balkan World and official repre-
sentative in the United States of Montenegro, in
an address delivered by him before the Chicago
Advertising club.
This war is the last fight of a disrupted and
rapidly disintegrating empire 1t is not fought on
account of the assassination of the Grand Duke
Ferdinand, but is the dying attempt of Austria
Hungary to acquire coveted territory and to make
itself a first-class European empire said Mr.. Pal
andech in explaining the of the Austro-
Servian struggle to the members of the Advertising
club.
1.-The Slavic people have been under worse
bondage since the tyranny of Austria spread over
them than they endured under Turkish vassaage
in the days when the Turks were power in the
Balkans
"Servia and Montenegro have been forced into
this 1t not of their own choosing. These
two countries have recently passed through two
great wars in which they made tremendous sacri-
fices and endured intense suffering. From these
they have not yet fully recovered and it is
der they not in good financial condition
1.-The Servians and Montenegrins fighting for
their liberty and they have yet retreated
when engaged in such struggle. Neither will they
now until the Slavs of Austria Hungary have been
liberated from the yoke of the tyrant This means
the disruption of Francis Josephs empire.
There is chance for the Savs to be ulti-
matey defeated for their is the of lib
erty. 1t is just and has the sympathy Of
the world. This is not against Servia alone;
the Slavic people of the empire much more
interested for it means life and liberty to them.
I'VE will have the support of Greece in this
conflict, for the interests of that nation bound
up in those of Servia and Montenegro. There is
why Bulgaria should raise it's hand for Aus
tra especially after the reacherous treatment given
the Bugars after the second Balkan Many
Albanians will flock to the of Servia for that
little country is already tired of the yoke Austria
Russia is, of course in duty bound to support the

a stays horn holding about three quarters Il
tie of wine constructed that could not bring
it close to the lips, and it was tricky matter to
drink from it without spilling any. | emptied it

of the diplomats trade They drank the weaker
