A "HOrsey" Character

Reno is not without it's race track
character. He has been put off the
track four tines already. While he
has never been seen to make a pet.
he urges the horse in the lead to
show 'em your heels to the full
capacity of his lungs. In the races
Friday he was yelling for a horse
to win and when it did o the
wire ahead of the field he jumped
down from the grandstand and threw
rocks at the racer. He was ousted
from the track and told that repe-
tition of his outburst would result
in a trip to Jail.

Banning German Names.
(CleVeland Plain Dealer.

J
 toronto has a street naming com lni'.ee which is raking the city map "lth me toothed comb for the purpose or destroying all German street names. Many such names nave been found and ruthlessly stemped out. But the committees zeal mas outrun it's intelligence. It has recommended for destruction a mum per of names of more or less 1erman appearance which turn out to be altogether English. Take, for example, Radenhurst avenue The committee marked it for deletion ana substituted Labatt avenue, in honor of an eminent maker of beer. several Radenhursts arose to shriek m chorus that RaCenhurst is good English, that Colonel Radenhurst was brave Cana dian soldier in the war or 1912, and that his memory was be- Ing grossly insuHed by egregious nin- mes, and more to that effect.
 Also there was Prust street, which certainly did look German enough at first glance. It was made Maidstone street. Whereupon William Prust a respectable citizen, for whom the street was named, takes oath that he possesses no drop of German blood, that Prust is a fine old Devonshire name, and that the street naming committee ought to have something done to it.
 Of course it is not likely that either Kaiser Wilhelm or Won Beth mann -Hollweg is greatly disturbed by the action of the Toronto com mittee. The entire business is pretty small. And it is rather amusing that the mistakes have aroused ire and inspired grave newspa per discussion

Why the Hyphcn At All. (BridgapOrt Telegram.

A serial story now running in The Fatherland, the organ of pro-German neutrality, deals With the imaginary invasion of America in the year 1920 by the combined forces of England Japan, Mexico, Russia and one or two others. There is a wild call for VOL unteers to save the nation. New York hears the tread of marchin;s feet, and through it's streets come the Turner militia, 50,ooo strong. At their head is tt transparency labeled "GermanA erican Turner's" but the word "German'' has been cross cd out, the hNphcn eliminated, and only Am crican' remains
 That is as if should be But why must we wait uNtil 1920? The foreign affairs of this country at the present moment are sufficiently complicated and sufficiently delicate to call for the Americanism of every citizen of of all else. The hyphen couldn't choose better time for it's exit than right now.
 John T. King when speaking be- fore Hungarian-Am erican gather ing recently, said only very weak un- fortunate people advocated the abo- lition of the hyphen. He gloried in it and told those of Hungarian birth and descent they should glory in it In spite of this we are inclined to think the abolition of the hyphen would be a good thing if based on sound patriotism. We do not expect , people coming from other countries to forget those countries. But we do think that so long as they came here to escape the oppressive rule ' o1 European countries they should 1 put America first and be real Amer 1cans in thought and deed. Tn ad. !

Improvements in Manufacturing
 Bridgeport Telegram.)

As a by-product or the war busi- ness which has come to this country, rot the least important of the re- suits may be the improvement of manufacturing methods. consequent upon the getting out of large orders in limited time.
 In the absence of a special stimu- Jus, improvements in manufacturing are likely to slow. The ordinary routine of business is handled in the routine way-not because improved machines and improved methods are not discovered, but because to apply the new methods and to install the new ma chinery calls for a very con- slderably outlay of money. Unless the manufa cturcr can see his way clear in making heavy permanent investment in new machinery he Is not likely to risk the p;unge; hence improve monts are slow.
 Under such circumstances as the present rush of war musiness in this country, however, affairs are worry much different Huge contracts are granted at a figure which include the cost Of all necessary machinery and Improvements The essence of most of the contra cts is haste-muni- tions delivered now are priceless; munitions delivered at some vague future date may be worthless.
 Inventive genius is stimulated to the utmost under such circumstance, and what is more important, is pro- vided with the means to give it's inn agination scope. It is estimated that since the outbreak of the European war many of the large concerns of this country have installed machinery 50 per cent. superior 70 ;1at in use Lefore, and before the present war contracts arc ended, the country will be speeded up industrially to l,ont it would not have attained nor mally in a quarter of a century moro.

The jo- vial navigators of motor trucks VIII take exception to this of course; they much prefer the pleasant enV1rons ol Main Street and the Green to the dark, dismal, dreary confines of some shady lane on the outskirts ot the city.

The trenches, the firing line and the ex- posed places are first filled by the men and boys who have no special training or ability beyond the elemen- tary qualifications of active military service.
