France has a pension list now as
large as the Civil war list in the
United States. The rates provided
for the new law are from 563 francs
.(sl12) for widows of private SOL
diers running from that figure
through the various grades up to
$3.50 francs ($1O5O) year for the
widow of a general of division; these
figures being subject to increase in
the case of orphans. If the soldier
or officer died of wounds not received
in battle or of. disease contracted
while on duty the pensions run from
375 francs (S75) to $500 francs
($700) dollars a year.
In the United States only one per-
son in 1900. buys a book in the
course of a year, while in Great Brit
ain, it is one in $500; in France, it
is about the same; in Germany and
Japan, it is one in S72. Cheaper
books in paper covers, account for
some of this difference, but, whatever
the cause, it remains true that the
Europeans buy twice as many books
per capita as we do.

Painters

Ten union painters employed on the
new Denver postoffice quit work and
walked out few days ago upon orders
issued by the national executive board
OF the Brotherhood of Painters. 1t is
said by Business Agent II. NJ. Mum of
the local Painters Union to be one of
many strikes wallouts ordered
against the contracting form of w. p.
Nelson x Co. of Chicago, which is doing
the postoffice interior decorating work
Nelson & Co. are reported to be one OF
the principal firms involved in the lock
out OF 100000 building tradesmen and
laborers in Chicago. Business Agent
Mum states the action taken in Dem
yer is a part OF sympathetic strike
against Chicago contractors throughout
the country affecting in all about 800
union painters. 1t was believed that an
agreement would be reached by the gen
eral contracting firm OF Norman Kerr
whereby the sub contract of Nelson &
Co. would be abrogated, but up to
Thursday noon no settlement had been
made and the painters were still out. All
other union men employed on interior
finishing are at work

The Price of Success

Another proof that nothing worth
while comes to a man by chance is
furnished in the recent discovery Of
a protective vaccine against typhus
fever. The announcement Of this
discovery was made last week in
the presence of a gathering Of dis
tinguished Psychologists in Philadel-
phia. The news Of 1t went all over
the world. for psychologists every
where have been searching for a
method of. vaccinating against this
dreadful scourge that dogs the heels
of war, and kills almost as many men
as fall in battle.
The man who made the discovery
Is DR.. Harvey Platz. In telling of
how he did it the Public Ledger of
Philadelphia says:
1.-THE marvel of this laboratory
achievement is that 1t was the prod
uct of the labor of one so young. DR..
Platz is only 25 years old. But his
discovery was the result of no chance
observation. He worked long and ar
duously for 1t. He astonished his as
sociates in the laboratory by the vast
amount of midnight oil he burned.
1t was a regular thing for him to
spend twenty hours a day Immersed
in his Investigations"
Hard work! That is the price that
must be paid for achievement of any
kind. Nothing else wins.
A young man who is dwadling
along, waiting for something ~
turn up" expecting success and
good fortune to come to him by some
lucky chance, would do well to pom
der the case of this young man in
Philadelphia who burned the mid
night OIL" as every genius of the
world has burned it.-Kansas City

The Business Outlook.

The World Work, which indorses
the Wilson administration, and tho
New York "Sun," which sneers at it.,
are both of the opinion that business
has turned the corner on the road to
good times. The members Of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association, which held It's twenty
ninth annual meeting recently, were
Of the same mind. And the facts
back them up: bank clearlngs and rail-
road earnings are better; another
huge wheat crop is In sight; steel,
cotton, wool, and dry goods are all
active and bring good prices. Wall
Street Is busy anticipating matters,
booming various select stocks and
sharpening up its shears generally,
Our country is financially independ-
ent, its resources are intact, and
public opinion is disposed to see In
dustry go forward constructively.
We have been mlnding cur own bust
ness, and 1t is going to pay. Aside
from the war, 1915 will be a good year.
