NOTHING VENTURE, NOTHING
BY May De Witt Talmage

GAIN.
Never be like wood washed up
against the shore, instead, keep in
the middle of the stream and rush
on to new scenes and activities. II
we get into the current Of fear. fear
OF a new venture. fear OF taking any
risk that might not turn out as we
wanted it TO, if we forget the old
saying, Nothing venture. nothing
gain we are sure to be landed
with the drift wood
Sometimes the fear Of advancing
any new idea or an opinion that
might bring about discussion will
either strengthen our convictions or
convince us of the fallacy of our
thought.
i remember saying TO a small girl:
There is no use giving you my rea-
sons for my indecisiOn, you are too
young TO understand" She looked
at me with her big solemn eyes as
she said: II always think even if
the other person does not under
stand, just telling them helps you TO
decide"
There was a world of philosophy
in that logic which 1 have often put
into practice. although it came from
such a young head.
Perhaps from lack of will power
or force Of character we have drift
ted into some stagnant pool, away
from progression, advancement. men
tally or morally. Are we going to
stay there? Can we not find some
eddy that will sweep us out into
the worlds work Of usefulness and
progress? Is there not some unfor-
seen current of interest that will
take us into some scene of activity?
VIII we always be afraid to express
our thoughts. take action, seek new
fields, make any new move lest we
are swept into some scene we know
not of? Will we always be con-
tented just to be stick of wood wash
ed upon the shore of time?
Have we not all at times been
going our happy go lucky way, full
Of confidence that if we try to do
right, everything will come out for
the best, then suddenly some change
has come in our life and we have
found ourselves at the fork of three
or four roads. If there were only
two facing us, one leading to the
east, the other to the west it would
be enough of a problem, but when
they lead in all directions, each de-
Gliding our destiny and often the
lives of others. when one road might
lead to heaven and the other away
from it, then it is that our nature
shrinks from the responsibility OF
deciding and we long for guidance
and voice to say: This is the way,
walk we in it,

GERMAN! [! |;l "A ]! WOMEN ! ]! Q! \ : ...... SEIZE BUTTER
 .t,' {" Tot te
Dealers Reported to be Holding Sup- ply Back in Order to Realize
 Increased Profits.

BERLIN, Oct. 26.-Exasperated at the constant advance in the price of butter, which is now quoted at 90 cents per pound, the housewives of Berlin yesterday engaged in rioting and footed the stores and seizing the butter.
 The women contend that as the German government has taken over the control Of nearly all stocks of foodstuffs which are within the reach of the great majority should also have taken charge of the luxuries and treated all alike. The German wom- en are intensely patriotic but they are to suffer privations while the wealthy are afforded luxuries which they believe should be reserv- ed for the troops at the front.
 The police were unable to restrain the women in their raids upon the stores and they continued their riot ing until near every food depot in the ClLy Hdu pecu AoTCou Io uisSoi 5o i'o supply of butter. The charge has been made that there is a plentiful supply of butter and cheese in Ger many but that the dealers have been the supply in order to in- crease their profits and the govern ment will investigate conditions, and if the charges of the housewives are the dealers will be inn prisoned.

Pittsburg Bremen Perform Heroic Rescues by Bringing Hundreds

PITTSBURG, Oct. 26.-Twenty- two girls, who were caught in fac tory fire here yesterday were burned to death and hundreds were taken from the burning building by the fire men: The fire broke out in the lower floor of the factory and dozens of the women jumped from the windows, de- spite the assurances of the firemen that they would be brought in safety from the building.
 Intense excitement prevailed dur ing the fire and hundreds of special policement were sworn in to restrain the relatives of the girls from rushing into the flames to rescue them. Many heroic deeds were performed by the fremen, who attempted to search the factory for the girls after they had been driven from the win dows by the flames.

 BEING ORGANIZED ,1 .i.@.i ~~,' a>>lsh :'*, Secretary Redfield Believes Company Necessary to Handle Export
 Business With Europe.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-1t is re- ported that Secretary Redfield, of the department of commerce, is planning an Overseas Trust company to coop crate with the United States govern ment in handling the exports of this country with the warning nations Of Earope.
 \ Secretary Redfield believes that tJN United States dealers will be un- sbltg as individuals, to carry on trade successfully with Europe but that a syndicate backed by the government uf the United States would be able to sufiiciently guarantee the belliger- ~ats that shipments to neutral coun- tries would not reach their enemies.
 The secretary also believes that the sphere of operations of the Overseas Trust company could be profitably extended to cover the trade of South America by the establishment of hanks in the Latin Republics to facil- 1tate and encourage the handling of business of the United States.
