ILLINOIS CENTENNIAL

Plans for adding a statue Of General
L. S. Grant to the group that will
ornament the capitol grounds have
taken definite form. A bill has been
introduced in each branch of the leg

statue to the famous civil war general,
with the idea of making the dedica-
ton OF the statue a feature of the
Illinois centennial celebration in 1916.
The pending measure creates a COM
mission to take charge Of the project
and provides for an appropriation OF
$1,000 to meet the preliminary ex-
penses. The plan is to secure COM

Nearly every late model car is
equipped with an electric self.starter-
but very few people understand no"
this little electric device works. They
press a button, or q lever, and the
motor spins until the car starts and
they are satisfied with the results
without investigating the cause.
A typical starting device for auto
mobiles is the now Gene-motof
which includes a generator-motof
for. starting the car and com
plete lighting system from the same
source. A description of how TINS
novel device operates will be typical
as they all work on the selfsam
principle.
The mechanism OF the system con-
sists of a single electric unit. wound
for IL volts. which operates as gen.
orator or a motor as the case may ne
and the necessary accessories for at
taching to and operating On the Ford
car. In addition, six-cell. 42-ampere-
hour battery is included. The outht
thus combines the functions of gen.
orator, which furnishes the primary
current required for starting the car
and operating the head, side and tail
lights, as well as those Of motor
for spinning the engine.
An electric generator can be used
as an electric motor by passing cur
rent through it. When the car is run
ming the tiny generator is busy pro-
ducing current which is stored in tho
battery carried on the running board.
v len the battery Is fully charge
the generator is automatically cut oft
and runs idle until more current is
needed for the battery. When the
car is to be started current is drawn
from the battery ana sert through the
field and armature of the generator,
thus changing it into motor which
spins the engine.
The generator-motor is fully en-
closed, about ten inches long overall.

Continuance of the good work OF

1t means less poverty and suffering.

are advantages the community car

YOUNG AGAIN.

YOUNG AGAIN.
When all the world Is young again,
And fragrance of the roses
Is caught and tossed and flung again
Above the garden closes,
When little brooks are singing us
The songs they always chanted,
And afternoons are bringing Us
The gold of sunbeams slanted,
Then, o, the songs that shall be sung
When all the world Is young.
when all the world is glad again.
And trees with blossoms waking,
We never may be sad again
And hearts no more be aching;
The robin and the rose are ours
And all the oIden laughter,
The dawn and sunset glows are ours,
And star-gleams that come after
Songs breathe the days and night
among
When all the world is young!
When all the world is fair again
Well have no time for signing,
For laughter In the air again
And echoed laughs replying
AMI we shall fare adown the ways,
Contented and together,
Till bleak and bare and brown the
ways
Once more in wfntry weather
But 0. the songs that shall be sung
When all the world Is young.

AMERICANiSM.

The most gratifying feature of the
critical situation created by the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania is the stand
promptly taken by leading German
Americans throughout the country,
says the Chicago Tribune. There can
be no question that the public state
ments Of men like Herman Ridder and
Rudolph Blankenburg express the SEN
timent and purpose OF our fellow citi-
zens of Germanic extraction. There
is ill-adyised and ili-balanced comment
from sources which have injured the
German cause with American public
opinion since the war began But
happily 1t was exceptional, not repre-
sentative.
The real spirit of German-Amerfcan
citizenship was given expression by
Mr. Ridder. editor OF the New York
Staats-Zeitung, and his eloquent words
are commended to the thoughtful con-
sideration Of those Americans whose
discretion and sense Of justice are OBJ
secured by their indignation over the
Lusitania:
They German-Americans) have
fought to uphold the flag in the past
and they will do SO again against any
emergency whatsoever. They deserve
the fruits OF past loyalty until they
forfeit the right to claim them. There
has never been but one flag under
which the German-American has
fought. There never can be but one
flag under which he will ever fight
And that flag is the Stars and Stripes"
That is simple truth. From Won
Steuben to Schurz and Sigel, as well
as IN all the solid achievements Of
peace. German blood and German
character have helped to create and
maintain and defend this republic No
true American will forget that, es-
peciaIIy now when the loyalty OF
Americans of German birth or an
cest-y is put to a fiery trial and is not
found wanting.
Americans would do well to realize
that not only German-Americans are
put 10 the test at this time, but every
American of whatever blood Or tradi-
ton II we permit the sympathies
and antipathies bred or stimulated by
this war TO create distrust and dissen-
sion. injustice and enmity among US,
we are betraying Our own country
and defeating it's highest hope. which
is 20 demonstrate the unity OF men.
We shall be very weak and blind and
disIoyal to America if we who fought
a great war in our own land for union
permit war in the old world to
create the spirit of disunion among US.
Not only in the trial Of war but also
in the tests OF peace it Is for US to
cherish our Americanism above every.
thing else.
