BUSY DAYS COMING
Period of Stress Ahead of the
American Worker.
Labor Day an Excellent Time to
Think Of the Future That Must
Be the Result Of the War
In Europe.

Every American. whether he works
with his hands or with his head. will
take full advantage OF Labor day. the
last Of the summer holidays: every
one will appreciate the fact that there
is long period Of work ahead OF him.
This fall and winter is sure to be
q time of readjustment in many lines
Of American commerce and labor, due
to the European war, which not only
shuts of some of the things We buy.
but is filling our warehouses with
many of the things we sell. How to
manage without the particular things
we have always imported and how to
get a market for the things Europe
cannot buy must engage our serious
attention for months, perhaps for
years. There may be some failures in
the effort to readjust, but there will
be more successes. and great ones. No
doubt about the future need be in the
heart of anyone.
The best thing about the whole sit
udtion is the stout heart of the busi-
ness world and the people in general.
They enter upon combat with un-
certainties with the old Yankee con-
fidence, backed by the knowledge that
in the fundamental items of physical
life we are safe. We can feed our
selves. clothe ourselves, warm our
selve. The rest is only matter OF
time and adjustment. There will be
no hard times If the hard work is
well tackled.
Business must not wait until the
war is over" for nobody knows when
that blessed day will be. If we are
prepared for a long war. SO much the
more prosperity If the war is brief.
1t is a splendid time for every
American. from the housewife to the
capitalist, to study American econo-
mics and get better knowledge OF
values.

DEMAND IS FOR SERVICE
Public Ideas Have Had Significant
Change in Comparatively
Few Years.

When the French aristocrat before
the great revolution was asked as to
his chief service to society. he replied,
ITO have been born" He felt that his
mere presence In the world conferred
an honor on his country.
That has been the attitude OF privi'
legged classes of all time. But a new
ideal has come into mems minds-the
ideal of labor, Of service to the com.
munity. Today the public is constant
ly asking men to Justify their income
What have you done to deserve it?" is
the question. by what service to So
ciety have you earned your money!"
1t used to be considered perfectly
proper to water the stock of great pub
lie service corporations. But now peo
pie have come to see this means to
get an income without working for 1t
and public sentiment is shutting of
the practice.
Melon cutting in connection with
franchise grabs was once popular. But
1t became apparent that this was mere
ly one way Of getting something fol
nothing. and the day of melon cutting
is done.
So, all up and down the line the de
mand has come for service in return
for income. Society is willing to write
its note for pretty nearly any amount
to the energetic man. but 1t insists thai
the payment shall be for value re-
ceived.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In SeIee-
tion Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in wilderness.
your first thought would be of food
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. 1t is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years. as regards comfort.
service and architectural beauty than
In the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly. and progress is
still constantly being made with It.
Modern hotels and office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments Of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shingle which
is. on new construction and old. rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate Of pleasing
tints of red or green. is employed as q
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
Crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser. however. should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are SO many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that 1t becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.

CUT IT OUT

A lady writer makes timely criticism
OF the indefensible practice Of over
working business office telephones for
personal conversation. But the criti-
cism stops short 1t is quite as repre-
hensible thus to overwork telephones
in residences. Persons so monopohz-
ing the facilities, are unmindful of
their selfishness and the inconveni'
ence which they inflict upon others.
Yet 1t is quite common for business
men to find it impossible to communi-
cate by telephone with their own resi-
dences, even in respect to business of
great importance. True, there is a
popular notion that every man ought
TO be able to regulate the affairs of
his own household, but 1t isn't always
that ones own household Is restonsi-
BILE for the ineXcusable blocking of its
telephone. Long -winded" friends "at
the other end" often are to blame.
There should be new rule for po-
lite society interdicting unnecessarily
long conversations by telephone; a
rule that would permit others to get
a word in edgewise-Dallas Journal.

place OF Hero OF the Marne,
Geneva, May 12.-Since the gen.
eral-in- chief of the French armies
has passed to the rank of the great
commanders, French biographers and
historians have sought, and are still
seeking, the origin of his family
Some pretend that the victor of the
Marne is of Basque blood, others en-.
deavor at any price to make a
Frenchman of purer blood of him.
The question remains open, be-
cause Joffres have been found at
every epoch, even those the most re-
mote. in three of the ancient French
provinces-in Limousin, in Dauphine
and in the Viyarais.
As for the general himself, he does
not conceal his attachment to his
little fireside at Rivesaltes in the
Pyrenees- -Orientales, and thus far has
shown a remarkable Indifference to
efforts that have been made to fix
honorable origin upon him.
Geneva now sets up her claims to
the great man There are at pres
ent no Joffres in the vicinity. There
have not been for a long time, but
there were two Joffres. one in the
10th century, who went from Aubenas
in the province Vivarais, now the de-
partment of Ardache. When the 9th
err emigrated is not known, but there
is record that in 1904 both were
received as bourgeois of Geneva. 1t
is known that while Joffre came from
Catholic region in the Lomousn,
he sprang from a Protestant family.
Genevans seize upon this fact to
contend that the soiour nof his an
cestors in Geneva is most probable.
