Inland Observation-Disclosures Equip

driving a business at full speed, by
using all sorts Of stern and repressive

clothing houses in Chicago is dornin-
ated by a man of unusually advanced
ideas. He is just as eager as
man to make the big business bigger,
but OF of his methods of getting his
desire looks to many men to be oddly
at variance with reason and logic. He
insists that every executive shall take
a day off each week, including Sunday,
Of course. He takes the day off him
self. The executives sometimes pro-
test that they are busy, have the de-
tails of some deal to carry through,
ETC., and want to forego the enforced
holiday--the executives are not charged

ing-but the boss will listen to no ex-
cuse. The: day off must be taken on
the day prescribed. His argument,
which is evidently satisfactory to him
self, is, that when his executives are
at work he wants the highest degree

serving that force and directing it,
more power is obtained from it. A

executives are Fingered UP therefore,
by forcing them to rest up. Not every
business can take sc radical a step,
and not every man in control of big

The hearing of Herman Klotz,
charged before Justice Wade with nom
support of his wife and four children
was called his afternoon pursuant to
adjournment. According to the evid-
ence. presented there was no question
but that the defendant has been drink

money he earned and that for a long
time he has allowed his wife to go out
and earn bread and clothes for herself
and children at the wash tub. Oc-
casionally it was alleged that the de-

Wife's earnings and when refused there
was a, storm of abuse. The court IN
ficted a fine of 500 and costs or sixty

Women's Circle and Clubs Doing Vol
unteer Work For Home and War
Relief Will Be Furnished With In
structors in Any Branch

Instruction in the art of rolling
bandages, knitting scarfs or mufflers,
or even handling plain sewing, will be
given to sewing circles, Clubs, societies
or similar organizations which may de-
sire to do volunteer work for the Home
and War Relief Association, which is
aiding the European war sufferers.
Announcement of the plan was made
by Miss Anne Mccormick, chief of the
Red Cross division, at headquarters, Z
South Front street, to-day. Associa-
tions willing to do the work should ap-
ply to the Red Cross division and an
instructor in any branch of work,
either preparing surgical or medical
supplies, or knitting, will be furnished
them.
Illustrating what may be accom-
pllsh by individual volunteer work,
Miss Jennie Dull, visitor to Red
Cross headquarters, brought five scarfs
and package of wristletts she had
knitted during leisure moments. There
is no end to the demand for such sup
plies for the freezing soldiers at the
front, and the division workers are
anxious to have this plan taken up by
many organizations throughout the
city or county.
The methods of handling work at
headquarters leaves at least two of the
Red Cross committee on duty constant
ly. Information or instruction in any
detail of the work may be had by Wis.
itors or volunteers.
Additional contributions to the fund
to buy condensed milk for the starving

ers.
The entire staff of nurses at the

to give two days time each week to
the preparation of Red Cross supplies.

Alderman Sends Present
In reality Christmas for Paul began
several days ago, for he has friends in
many parts of the country who are par
tieularly eager to make the season a
happy one for him because of the great
suffering he has borne so cheerfully.
A heap of oranges from Longwood,
Fla, in the heart of the orange coun-
try, was the first present to arrive at
the Erb home. Soon another present
of tasty preserved fruits came from
Pen Van, n. Y. A woman in Guide
Rock, Neb., who made Paul S acquaint-
ance through the newspapers, sent him
book. He is very happy over all these
presents, but his Harrisburg friends
did not forget him.
Alderman Charles +. Murray, the
magistrate who presided at hearing in
which Paul was star witness, having
been carried into the court room on a
stretcher, along with Constables Grove
and Hams. attached to Murray's office,
made Paul present f a real up-to-date
electric locomotive and train of cars,
including stations, signal lights and all
of the equipment CT n toy railroad.
This will be the central attraction,
aside from Paul's Christmas tree. The
locomotive operates by the turning of
a switch and the little fellow can reach
out and touch off the operating mecha-
nism with little trouble.
Friend Sends Him Clutches
Mrs. Erb had planned to purchase
crutches for Paul as soon as he was
able to be off his cot. Her plans, how
ever, were anticipated, for a few days
ago new-found friend of the boy
sent him a pair for Christmas. He
has everything ready now to get out
into the open and after his first trial
of the crutches on Christmas Day his
mother WILL under the direction of the
physician, make an effort to get him
up for a short time daily. Paul's re-
covery will be greatly fastened when
he is able to make short trips on
crutches in the open air.
A score of books already have been
received with other presents of fruit
and candy. His friends are determined
that he shall have a merry Christmas.
despite his weakened condition, and few
BOYS will have as many Christmas pres
ents as Paul.
