We've read or songs that tell about

CAR MEN TO GET RAISE-LAST
MOVES ARE NOW ON
The street car strike arbitration
board has nearly completed its deci-
sion. It will be favorable to the car
men.
The men will get a substantial in
crease in wages. It is practically as
suTed that there will be a decided re-
duction in the graded scale of pay. At
present it takes a new man five years
to reach the maximum wage. After
the decision this will in all likelihood
be reduced to three or four years.
Increase in wages and reduction of
the graded scale were made the most
important issues by the car men. Diff
ferences over night work, Sunday
work, tTippeT service and the extra
list are not considered so important
It seems certain that the arbitra-
ton board is going to make the maxi
mum pay "a, 35 or SO cents an hour.
The highest figure is a distinct pos
sibility.
It is believed that James -Sheean,
lawyer arbiter serving for the COM
pany will file a dissenting opinion.
Mayor Thompson has interviewed
nearly 200 car men. He asked them
what they made a year and what it
cost to live. He learned that few
owned their homes or had money in
bank. Nearly all testified that exis-
tence was for them a hand-to-mouth
affair,

ROOFS TOO MUCH NEGLECTED
Valuable Space In City That Is Seldom

out in Chicago"
The rather odd suggestion brings up
the whole problem of wasted opportu-
mites which the roof of the average
tall building presents. Long ago the
hotels realized what an asset a roof is,
and developed the roof garden. In a
number of the middle western cities
the upper floors and roofs of CONNER

Entomologists or bug hunters Of
northern Ohio and Indiana have
warned farmers against grub worms,
saying that a certain species of a bug
that flies in the air is distributing its
eggs on the ground that are trans
formed into the grub before coming
back to its original form and during
that period as a grub worm is when
its ravages are the greatest on grow
ing crops, more especially growing
corn, which the worm eats when it
first starts growing. 1t is suggested
that fall blowing for corn is best and
If grubs are noticeable in wheat ground
that a greater amount of seed should
be sown so that the worms can have
a wider range and not destroy the
whole crop. 1t Is a fixed fact, as every
farmer knows by experience, that dur
ing certain years there is al exces-
sive number of this species of grub
and If there Is any rule laid down to
avoid their ravages on crops it will be
a great advantage to the farming COM
munity.-Goshen News-Times.

ECONOMY IN NEW PROCESS
Small Brass Pieces Are Now Com.
pressed In Steel Molds, Instead Of
by Old Method.

In some of the modern European
electric construction works. moiding
machines turn out millions Of small
brass pieces such as the industry re.
quires. Compression Of brass pieces
In steel molds has now supplanted the
old method Of casting. for turning out
such pieces In brass or bronze. For.
merly q sand mold had to be made fol
each piece but now a single steel mold
serves for thousands of pieces. In this
process r used brass bars whose sec.
ton Is chosen after experience so as
to be best adapted for shape and size
Of the finished piece, then a section IL
cut of the bar to length, and the piece
is heated to redness in q furnace, then
nodded at high pressure in the steel
mold. A pressure of a few seconds ia
enough to produce the required shape,
and 1t is found that pressure makes
the brass more compact and solid. AS
the steel mold can be made exact to a
small fraction of an inch, the products
have very close sizes for use. Even
pieces which formerly we're cast in
bronze, such as shaft bearings. are
now made by the molding process

ALL BELONG TO ARYAN RACE
Many Peoples Of the Present Day
Trace Their Origin to That
Group Of Humanity.

All the people who speak English,
German, Russian, French, Spanish,
italian, Welsh, Erse or Irish, Scotch
Of Gaelic, and some of the Asiatic Ian
guages, trace their origin back to the
old Aryan race, says an exchange. 1t
used to be thought that the Aryans
came from some point In Asia several
thousands of years ago. But now GER
tain people claim that their home was
in the southern steppes of Russia;
and that the Indian and Persian
branch went toward the east, the
Slavs and Teutons into the German
forests, and the Greeks toward
Greece; while the forefathers of the
Celts and Romans followed the Dan
ube river into Italy and Gaul. We
know that all these peoples are re-
lated from many words that have the
same root. We can tell by words
even now in use, when the peoples
dwelt together, when they separated,
n group from another, and some
thing about their daily habits and
lives. For instances, we know that
the Aryans travelled in carts drawn
by cattle, because our words wheel"
AXLE" yoke and wagon" all come
from Aryan root words. We know
that at one time they were pastoral
people, depending mainly on their
iocks and herds, because our words
"ewe." "wether," wool" Cow" "ox."
steer and herd" come from Aryan
words. Other words tell us that they
were a nomadic people, migrating ac-
cording to the season to obtain pastur-
age.
1t is a curious thought, that seems
to have occurred to no one, that many
of the Aryan peoples are coming to-
gether again In the United States, for
the first time since their separation
thousands Of years back. 1t will take
centuries for their amalgamation in
what has been called the melting
pot" but doubtless the homologous
people thus descended will be the
greatest people in the world.

ALL EYES ON THE PUPPY
Baby Decidedly Second Choice In the
Attentions of Crowd Of Men

ones, he acts differently. Seldom is
he go busy that he can't bestow a pat
on IT'S head, and II he has the time, as
likely as not he will stoop and ask
the puppy how he is feeling. The

a street car with q small Boston ter
fier under her arm. The car was
packed, but she might have had any
one Of a half dozen seats. The men
about her forgot their newspapers.
and the puppy claimed every eye. An
elderly man standing IN front of her
chucked the puppy under the chin and
addressed him Familiarity as Mike.
Mike opened his mouth and displayed
unmistakabLe signs Of a desire to play
with Che elderly mans finger, and the
elderly ma was 50 obliging that

heard to say that he had gone two
streets beyond his stop. It Is prob

men who watched him play with the
puppy. It Is certain, however, that
q blue-eysd baby across the aisle
gurgied In vain. for not a masculine
glance was directed toward It.

P%ERQUISITES OF KINGS
BUSINESS NOT ALLURiNG TO THE
ORDINARY MORTAL.
Being Shot At, and Occasionally
Killed lie One Of the Prices Of
High Posltlon-Some Others
Worth Mentioning.

The heir apparent to the Austrian
throne and his wife were shot dead
In the street recently. Being shot at
and occasionally killed seem to be a
perquisite of the king business. The
price Of place is enormous. The king
place being one of the choicest plums.
its price Is very high. These are
some of the items:
To have no wholesome, natural boy
hood; always to be watched by lack
eys and nurses, and never to be able
to go out4and play pirate with Huck
Finn. to splash in the old swimmin'
hole, nor steal strawberries from
Jones patch at midnight.
To grow up in an atmosphere suffo-
Gated with convention, to have hun
dreds Of things you don't want, and
to be raped over the knuckles when
ever you reach for a thing you do
want.
To be surrounded with alleged
friends who you know do not are a
hang for you, and who would push
you of the roof in a minute If it was
not for your father.
Not to have one friend whc will slap
your face and tell you the truth, but
to be surrounded by enemies who
smile upon you and are only waiting
for an opportunity to slip a knife un-
der your fifth RIB.
To have your wife picked ont for
you by a lot Of wizened old diplomats,
To be allowed as many light-o'ioyes
as you please. to'be as drunken, cruel,
selfish, violent and mean as you will,
but to have every honest and generous
human feeling vetoed by court and
fashion.
To have your pride constantly fed,
which renders any man unhappy.
To miss all of life's true values, and
to become a past master In all that
makes life sordid and cheap.
To cease to be a normal, cheerful
human being and to become a wooden
ladder for mems ambitions.
To have people blame you for their
own mistakes, to be the political and
economic scapegoat Of the nation
and to be cursed and hated by a large
section of the population, no matter
what you do.
To have every mar in the ma
chinery of government, every place
holder and privilege inheritor, turn
against you when you try really to
help the people.
To know that every hour of the
day and night the poisoner. the bomb
thrower. and the plotter r seeking
your life.
And In return for this all you gel
is money, fine clothes, food and drink
and incense burned before your
wretched vanity.

TREASURES IN ENGLISH HOME

treasures have been diminished by its
present owner. owes its existence to

icle. He not only employed a carver,
whose work is as good, If not better,
than Grinlings, he was himself a SUI
preme Judge Of art and architecture.
But while he could write odes and
compose sonatas, he also loved racing
and co~ckighting, suppers and masked
balls. He lost bets running into thou
sands with equanimity, and was con

so touched the heart of Nicholas that
