Amos Pinchot Bitter Against Presence of

Committee Probing the Prob

New York, Jan. l5- Singing criti

Judge Gary of the Steel corporation and
George w. Perkins OF the Harvester Co.
On the municipal committee inyestigat-
ing unemployment and high cost of liy-
ing was voiced in a letter addressed to
the mayor yesterday by Amos Pin
chot.
There is certain danger" said Pin
chot, that the average citizen will in
terpret these selections as having been
made ON the theory upon which Gen.
Diaz chose distinguished bandits TO lead
the police force OF Mexico City.
Though Mr.. Gary and Mr.. Perkins
have succeeded well in limiting produe.
tion and the opportunity OF labor in the
United States, and in keeping up the
cost OF living, il seems doubtful whether
the public win conclude that they will
be equally successful when called upon
TO increase opportunities of labor and
reduce the cost Of living.
Frivolous" He Says.
Pinchot characterized the attitude OF
the city administration toward the un.
employment problem as little short Of

THE BLUE BOMB
"A OF Hunor, Mystery, Romance, and Adventure
CaynghGby eE1nA Munec

The smoke of its fires blotted out
the heavens. 1t rose and hung like
a mighty pail above the valley. The
fires of the furnace and FORCES shone
upon the under side of that curtain
of smoke in waxing and waning
red.
The glare of the flames which fed
them sprang from the mouths of
mighty stacks and tunnels, seen
dimly in the blood-red glare. Long
rows of lighted windows twinkled
and winked up at him as he stood.
To and fro between him and the
inner glow passed the bobbing sill
houettes of moving. figures. The dull
reverberations of the blasts struck
throbbing upon his ear. The snort
of a yard-engine came to him like
the barking of dog. The glow on
the cloud of smoke deepened and
flashed the trees and bushes on the
hillside about him into inky tracer
les of design.
A great pillar of fire leaped from
a cupola and died with a deadened
roar. A great red eye opened before
him and poured out molten stream
of fire, about which puny figures of
darkness leaped and danced. For a
moment it seemed to Gafford that
that snloke-roofed valley might well
be the pit of a tabled hell.
Charlevoix county herald., 1915-01-16
CHAPTER TX.
The Maker of Bombs.

Gafford turned away from that
red valley where the fires of the
FORCES and those of human passion
n. ingled to produce the engines of
destruction, and climbed up the
shoulder of the hill.
He scrambled up, his path lighted
by the crimson reflection from the
smoke pail, and went for some dis
lance along the rim of the mountain
which ringed the valley round:
When he was satisfied that he had
com, far enough from the track he
sat down, took some cold food from
the blanket-roll he carried, and ate.
Then, with the blanket wound about
him, he slept.
The gray of morning found him
alert. Rising, he began scouting
about the region. Haste urged him,
until it was with an effort that he
forced himself to work out the lay
of the land before making some
move to come to the object he
sought.
Continued next week.

u Mother Had Been There

A farmer and his daughter were
driving home from market in their
pony cart, when two rutfians leaped
out upon them from a hedge. After
searching the pockets of both, the
robbers got into the pony cart and
drove off.
Well" said the farmer, here's
a nice thing; pony and trap gone,
and all our money as we'll"
Not quite. father" replied the
girl. THE money is safe, for ! put

man, now If only your mother had
been here, too, we might have saved
the pony and trap"

SCHOOLS LIKE DENMARK'S
FOR THE UNITED STATES

That the Danish folk high schools
for "grownups," which have made
possible the recent wonderful develop
ment in rural Denmark, can be sue
cessfully transplanted in modified
form to the United States, is the con-
clusion reached by H. w. Foght of
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton in a bulletin just issued. Mr..
Foght has studied both the Danish
schools and American rural conditions
at first hand, and he believes that
what the Folk high schools have done
for rural civilization in Denmark they
can do for the United States.
The place to introduce the new type
of school is the region known as the
South Atlantic Highland, according
to Mr.. Foght, embracing all of West
Virginia, AZ counties in western Vir-
ginia; % in western North Carolina;
and a in western South Carolina; 20
in northern Georgia; II in northeast
ern Alabama; 10 in eastern Tennes-
see, and SO in eastern Kentucky. 1t
is not that these sections are neces-
sarily behind other parts of the coun-
try in education, though much litter
acy prevails, but that the peculiar To-
cal conditions demand some institu-
ton like the Danish schools.
There are already a few Folk high
schools in the United States, estab-
lished by Danish immigrants. While
enced by these schools, Mr.. Foght is
of the opinion that they are due to
certain special causes that could cas-
lily be overcome in real attempt to
adapt the Folk high school to Ameri-
can life in the mountains
"The Folk high school spirit has
emancipated the agricultural popula-
ton of Denmark" declares Mr.. Foght.
at has at least made country people
the peers of their city brethren. They
have become leaders in affairs, in pro-
duction, in distribution, in politics,
chiefly because they have learned to
think for themselves and to act indie
pendently of the industrial classes.
'In the United States there is great
danger of going to the extreme in the
lmmeUately practlcal and technical.
The work of special schools is in dan
ger of focusing too much on making
two blades of grass grow where one
grew before, on teaching girls to cook
! and keep house according to sanitary
regulations and the like.
These things are all necessary and
must he taught in the schools, but
they are utterly insufficient to make
US really great agricultural nation.
II was not the local agricultural
schools and household economies
schools that primarily made Denmark
a great scientific agricultural nation,
but the Folk high schools. We need
such schools in the United States
schools that would teach a greater
love for the soil; that would help us
to measure the rood in life by spiri-
tual standards and not by man-made
rules; schools that would help us to
rise above the limitations of locality
and state, and teach an understanding
of the national and even universal in
the United States"

The railroads Of the country are at last
coming into the equipment market with
a rush. The movement is the heaviest
in years. and should set the wheels of
industry humming in all sections.
Following the news of the big Penn
sylvana order for rails and locomotives
that company announced today that it
was in the market for 5000 more cars,
bringing its total car order up to $1,000
This was followed by an additional order
from the Baltimore and Ohio for 1000
steel hopper cars placed with the Cam
bria Steel Company, making 1000 in all
for the Il. and O. The Reading today
also ordered 1000 additional steel under
frame box cars from the American Car
and Foundry Company. other big orders
for cars and locomotives were placed this
week by the New York Central, Norfolk
and Western, Erie, Delaware and Lack
awanna and other Eastern lines while
the Atchison, Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and several more big Western lines placed
extensive orders for equipment.
1t Is estimated that the railroad buying
for this month alone will approximate
SlOO,OOOOOO. and it can readily be seen
what this enormous home expansion
means, aside from any foreign orders,
for the industrial sections of the country.
Meantime the increase in freight earn
ings of railways operating east of Chi
cago and St Louis, under the stimulus
of shipments for export to European
countries, is one of the most striking
features of current railway returns. East
ern roads in August. as shown by the
monthly report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, just issued, gained
SS5 per mile. or 65 per cent, in freight
earnings over August, 1914, against $lS
per mile, or 81 per cent, for Southern
roads, and loss of $40 per mile, or 33
per cent, in freight earnings of Western
roads Western roads, on the other hand,
gained S13 per mile, or 60 per cent, in
passenger earnings, due to the Pacific
coast exposition travel, against losses Tor
the East of $19. or SO per cent, and for
the South of s22. or 1915 per cent. The in
crease in gross revenues, accompanied by
a decrease in operating expenses, resulted
in the largest net income recorded Tor

a heavy export demand for oats kept
that commodity steady, although active

Exports reported aggregated loo, 600

600 bushels of corn, 100000 bushels of
oats and 100000 bushels of barley. 1t is
