FATHER sTUMPED THEM.
A Test In Mental Arithmetic That
Worried the Students.

~ sScS III tu0UIdl NTtkIltIiCSlC j fldS
Worried the Students.
They had a schoolboy and schoolgirl
party at a Brooklyn mans house the
other night Father and mother were
permitted to mingle with the young
folks for awhile after the edge Of the
first fun had worn off. There were
games that the elder folks knew moth
ing about, and they sat like walliow-
ers. H8
Finally a game Of arithmetic was
started by a boy who is considered the
best cipherer Of his class in the high
school, After several problems had
been given of an odd nature, over
which there were much laughing and
puzz1ing, father dared to speak up.
Said be:
Boys and girls, they used to give us
this example In mental arithmetic
when I went to school I suppose 1t
will be easy for you, but IT'S the best I
can suggest to take part in the game"
And he recited this co1piet:
If a third Of SIX were three
What you'd a fourth Of twenty be?
The score of boys and girls present
went at 1t. They wrfnkled their brows,
and they pursed their lips. The use of
pencil and paper was not permitted.
The mathematician had not been
among the first to try an answer. He
was plainly a little perplexed He
asked to have the problem repeated
and wanted father to ass him
that 1t was a mental arithmetic exam
pie. Finally he, too, gave an answer.
But father shook bis head.
"Tell, then, papa, for goodness sake
tell US what 1t can be-" said his daugh.

ned father. "Gome. mother, we may
as wen depart. They don't play the
same arithmetic games that we did"
The high school mathematician at
first declared that fnther was In error.
But next day he admitted that the an
swer was correct and that all had been
stumped.-New York Sun.

WOMAN AER0NAUT PERlsHES
Dashed to Death In Presc,,vr of Sew
efai Thousand Persons.

Marinette, Wis. June 9.-Nettie ST.
Clair, aged twenty-five, a professional
aeronaut, was dashed to death in the
presence Of several persons at Lake
side.
She descended a distance of 800
feet and as she was over the water it
is presumed she unbuckled the safety
belt that held her to the parachute
SO that when she fell she would not
be dragged under. While doing this
she probably lost her presence of
mind.

 A war to the death means the death of millions of the subjects of the great European powers. The eff feet upon the United States would be most profound. The very economic texture of our nation would be changed From nation which is an exporter of raw materials. we would suddenly become the great suppliar of finished manufactured products. And this spells a prosperity for the United States and a period of swift develop ment the like of which the great American captains of Industry Of the past have never dreamed
 With a single bound industrial Uni- ted States is likely to cross period of development that might otherwise have taken half a century. Old poli- tical questions and issues, such as the tariff and trusts, will vanish from sight, as though wiped from a slate with a wet sponge. If the signs dc not tail the issues of the next presi- dentiaI campaign will be questions raised by the new Industrial e1pan- ssons problems of employment and conditions of labor the housing of workers the food supply of inc na- ton. the enlistment Of the rapidly rising cost of living with the rising scales of wages.

 bring about an economic revolution
 may be mentioned. European agri-
 culture will be prostrated. Nations
 which have been food exporters will
 suddenly find themselves unable to
 produce their own food supplies. The
 Be1gianss have been supplying Europe
 with dairy products. Belgium is be-
 ing devastated by the war. Russian
 wheat fields will not be planted. Sini-
 lar conditions will obtain in the rural
 districts Of nearly every European
 naton, and the result will be to place
 a pull upon American farm products flor exportation that will send the
 American cost of living skyward. European manufacture will be para Iyzed for many years. Instead of be- ing the great exporting nation Ger
 many will find herself a consumer of forei gin-manufactured products. Her world markets will leave her. and she herself will become a field for ex- plobtation by the American foreign trader The same thing will be true, but in less degree, of England and the
 other manufacturing nations of Eur ope. The South American trade alone is worth two billion dollars a year to any country which can capture it. Germany has held most of this trade, and she must give 1t up. un addition there is the trade in the Orient The indications are that the United States and Japan are destined to divide most 1 Of this foreign trade.
 There Is another vital factor to be
 considered European 1nrni grafton to l the United States can be exepcted to
