pare themselves at least physically to defend their

the value of the minutes to put of

is sure to come to everyone who gets
ready for it.
A remarkable instance of this is
the recent appointment of Arthur
Henderson to a positi on in the re-
Gently reorganized British cabinet.

$40, 900 a year, and enjoys the distine

a self-educated man. FGe did not ever

an elementary granular school edu-

iron moulder in NeWqa stle ht the age

was obtained in night schools after

Mr. Henderson was always on nis

Have you ever Thought that your

HIGHWAYS AS MEMORIALS.

There is a useful tendency to build good roads as
memorials of men who helped shape the nation The
Lincoln Highway, stretching from coast to coast is
to have a feeder in the shape of the Daniel Boone
Highway. running from the Piedmont section of
North Carolina to Chicago, and marking the trail
bazed by the rugged old 18th century woodsman
In his pioneer movement westward to get away from
the haunts of men. At Winston-Saem a handsome
monument of North Carolina granite will indicate
the beginning of the highway which, except for short
connecting links has been completed to Chicago.

One of the best photographs of the
recent terrible Eastland disaster in
Chicago was taken by an amateur,
who" SAYS the New York Times,
doubtless little dreamed that he was
| facing that morning an opportunity
of a lifetime to take one of the most
stirring pictures ever recorded on
| film"
| This young man had gone down to
| the Eastland dock with a crowd OF
pleasure-seekers. carrying his kodak,
! that he might take photographs of
any interesting scenes or events that
should come up during the day.
When he arrived at the SangWay
| he saw the vessel already listing to
one side. While he hesitated for
moment, undecided whether to board
| her or not, she rolled over. Instantly
he began to work his camera, and
succeeded in making four or five eX-
posures. The opportunity lasted but
for a moment. Had the amateur not
been ready for it, had. he not had the
presence of mind to grasp it before
ii was too late, he would not have
had the chance of turning his anna
teur talent to account by selling his
remarkable picture of the tragic oc-
currence to the New York Times.
A minute too late has lost more
chances of making a good deal' than
almost anything else.
have an acquaintance who seems
to be ill-timed about everything. He
is nearly always a minute late for a
train, misses a ferryboat by a second
or two, and is invariably late for his
appointments. He makes an effort
to be on time, but somehow, too
late" seems to be in his very make
up. It doesn't matter how important
his engagements he Is never up to
the minute. He is always little late
in making his investments, too late
to get a good bargain. The oppor-
tunity has just gone by when he has
made up his mind to act. If he he's
anything to sell, he sells it just be-
fore the market goes up, and if he
is going to buy anything, he awaits
until the price is too high.
1t seems to be just as natural for
other people to arrive at just the
right minute, even when they do not
appear to make any special effort,
as it is for this man to be late. Time
liness is a part of their nature be-
cause they have made a habit of
being on time, and so they always
slide in at just the right moment,
they are always ready for the op-
portunity when 1t comes their way.

HOW WATERWAYS REDUCE LIVING COST

circular from the Federal Department of Agri-
culture calls attention to the fact that butter be
carried the West New York and other Eastern
markets by way OF the Great Lakes and canal at a
saving of forty cents per hundredweigh compared
with railroad freghts There is also the advantage that
the temperature of the refrgerators boats aver
ages degrees below that of the cars, that the
butter arrives in better condition. In cases
cordng to the department experts creameries can
save $50 week by using the water route. Every
such practical demonstration of the wisdom of de-
veloping waterways for commerce is valuable eco
nomc for the whole nation and points to lower
cost of living for the consumer

Rockefelers and Suffrage
In oiOrado
ReDort

To the Editor of the Evening Star
Sir;lThe widely published report
of the National Commission on In
dustrial Relations, laying the blame
for the last Colorado strike, includ-
ing the Ludlow massacre, squarely on
the shoulders of the Rockefellers,
father and son, is very interesting
to suffragists.
Nothing has been more widely
claimed by anti-suffrage speakers
and writers in the present New Jer-
sey suffrage campaign, than that the
industrial troubles of Colorado were
the fault of the women voters of
that State.
Mr. Rockefeller, jr., is charged in
that report with having tlouted the
will of the president of the United
States. If he could do this to the
president, who represents the entire
nation, is it strange that he should
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-08-31

flout the will of the women of Colo
rado?
Mr.. Rockefeller, jr., is charged with
having made the Colorado strike a
feature In g. nationwide campaign
against trades unions, in which he
engaged the most highly paid pub
lioity expert In the country and a
staff of college professors and others
to influence the public opinion of
America against trades unions and
in favor of the Rockefeller policy In
Colorado.
Is not this enough to exonerate
Colorado women from blame for this
trouble between two sets of men
Or must we continue to hear that
Colorado women were to blame for
the Colorado strike?
Very truly,

rolled as the first woman student of
the New York College of Pharmacy,
graduating from There at the age of

Today is the birthday of Wilhelm
ina, the present ruler of the Neither
lands. It has been said that a nation
always fares better under the rule of
a woman queen than under that of a
man-because a king is always guild
ed by women and a queen is always
guided by men. But In the case of
Queen Wilhelmina this does not hold,
for her rule is exceedingly good, and
she is not ruled by men. For, what
ever her other faults may be, surely
she is every inch Euler and does not
permit herself to be under the inf1u-
ence of any of her advisers.
Mary Putnam Jacob who was born
August 81, 1912, is one of the pioneer
women physicians in this country.
She was born in London of American
parents. and her parents returned to
this country when she was a young
girl. She early conceived the desire
to follow the example of her father,
Dr. Putnam, and become a physician.

Loving me on into fair childhood

The burdensome load, the stress, the ache,
That come in motherhood's fair years.
The joy, the pain, the love- the tears
Tis mine to give what you gave me.

To the highest note in the song you taught
Ny girlish lips the music fraught
With all the mother hopes and fears,
That Fill to the brim the mothering years.

OF motherhood's years, | thank you so
For gifts to me from out your heart,
At thoughts that rise my hot tears start,
