While we all know that one child can
spoil" another, we must admit that
there was some reason In Hector's
reply. Children do influence one an
other, and the influence for good Is
just as real and just as effective as
the influence for evil. If we fear that
on the whole the evil influences pre-
vail, our remedy must not be sought
In the isolation Of the child, for such
isolation is at least as bad as anything
that can be acquired from unsolicited
companions. The remedy lies In two
directions. On the one hand, the child
with an undesirable friend must be
encouraged to extend his circle of ac-
quaintances; on the other hand, the In
fiuence Of the home must be strength
ened In the hope of counteracting any
evil influences that may emanate from
the "bad" friend. One need not be on
the lookout for trouble; but If the Ian
guage used at home is above reproach
the careless speech on the outside may
extend the vocabulary without much
danger of permanent harm.
There are extreme cases in which ie
seems desirable to separate boy or
girl from an undesirable companion. In
such cases the surest way of strength
ening the affinity is usually to make

Communication (among the Aztecs)
was maintained with the remOtest
parts of the country by means Of
couriers. Posthouses were established
on the great roads, about two leagues
distant from each other. The cou-
rier, bearing his dispatches in the form
of hieroglyphical painting, ran with
them to the first station, where they
were taken by another messenger and
carried forward to the next, and so on
till they reached the capital. These

must not be taken to indicate that the
proper course lies in a series of eulo-
gies in honor of the undesirable one.
The first step is to ignore the friend
ship as completely as possible. Then
an effort must be made to substitute
new interests for the old friendship
and to reduce the occasions for inter-
course as much as circumstances will
permit. If the parents will find or
make opportunity to take the child out
of his usual surroundings in their own
company they will generally find that
the new interests will develop stimuli

IF this country should be involved
in war, what would the women do?" is
question put by writer in a news
paper to its readers. The article goes
on to state that "the women Of Amer
lea are far more helpless, less re-
sourceful in such a crisis, than the
women Of Europe" etc.
I do not agree with that statement.
In time of disaster American women
have proved themselves Spartans to
meet bravely the dangers that have
menaced, aye, overtaken, them, con-
quering adversely with a courage that
has stamped them as among the
worlds bravest. Let me tell you what
our women would do If trouble like
those that have come to other unfor-
tunate countries should fall upon MS.
There would be no weeping or wall
Ing to take the heart and courage out
of the men who love them, who are
called to defend their country. On
the contrary, they would Undue them
with courage to depart, fight and win.
Women who have lolled in the Ian
of luxury all their lives would show
their menfolk that the lessons of the
unhappy foreign women who have nut
their shoulders to the pillow in time of
need had not been lost upon them.
All American women have been
reading, and bordering deeply as they
read, turning over in their minds what
they would do under like circum
stances, or strive to do. They have
been delving deeply into the burning
question of preparedness end each has
her course Of action pretty well
mapped out. Every woman, from the
wealthiest down, would learn from
actual practice the lesson Of how to
sustain life on the least possible

the few Americans in Petrograd, with
the aid of few contributions from
sympathiZers in America.
"The American Red Cross raised
huge sums" said Mrs. Friede, land es-
tablished many hospitals in the various
warning countries, but for some unac-
countable reason established only one
hospital in Russia, in Kieff. When
the funds for supporting this hospital
were exhausted, instead Of appealing
for additional funds to continue it's
much-needed work, the hospital was
closed. 1t is doubtful If any charita-
BILE bazaar would be more appropriate
than one to save the name Of the
American Red Cross in Russia, for,
while there have been several small
benefits for Russian relief, the amounts
raised have been but a drop in the
bucket.
"Yet how many people in America
realize that there is only one Ameri-
can hospital in all Russia at the pres
ent time? How many people realize
that the Great White Empire has been
practically neglected by the American
Red CROSSE" asks Mrs. Friede.
''The fact is that the Americans are
not only ignorant of the charitable
work being done in Russia, but they
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-10-13

are ignorant about Russia itself. From
time to time they read about the great
possibilities for American trade In
Russia after the war, but the fact OF
the matter is that they are not pre-
pairing in any way to capture this
trade. They are not doing anything
in Russia at the present time to make
them remembered when the great
struggle is ended.
Ignorance of Russian Conditions.
''It is this ignorance about Russian
conditions" says Mrs. Friede, that
makes relief work there so difficult.

sent out by a charitable association

biggest financiers asking for contribu-
tons for an American hospital in Rus

that an American hospital was al
ready in existence in PetrOgrad."

TAKE 433 FROM BURNING SHIP
Passengers and Crew Are Removed at
Night From Coast Liner AbIaze
Amidships.

Marshfeld, Ore.-The 433 passen-
gers and crew Of the big coastwise
steamship Congress, in peril of fire on
board, were rescued from the ship,
which anchored a few nights ago near
the entrance to Coos bay, spouting
flame and smoke.
At any time it seemed as If the ship
might explode, and the rescuers worked
feverishly in red glare that Lit up the
whole sky. Life-savers and boats from
the United States army dredge Col. P.
s. Niche and the steamship Yellow
stone, which put out to meet the Con-
gress, worked for more than two hours
transferring all aboard to safety. Luck

very dangerous, was smooth.
The Congress is the largest vessel
in the fleet of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company. She left San Francis
co for Seattle with 216 cabin passen-
gers and 81 in the steerage.

EsUHAT Margaret sees in that girl l
w can't understand" Mrs. Calkins
was saying, when the talk was of the
difficulty of getting suitable compan-
ions for the children. And Mrs. Cal
kins was quite right. Nobody can un-
derstand exactly. It's just as great a
mystery as the one that keeps your
friend guessing why you married your
husband, or wife, as the case may be.
Johnny and his friend were chums
for many years because they had the
same birthday; and Grace and Ger
trude found each other through writ
ing the initial G in the same way. But
another little girl with flaxen hair and
pale eyes selected her friend because
the latter had such nice dark hair and
skin and eyes. You may not be so SEN
sitive to color; yet it was the wearing
of red apron that gave Mabel Hen
derson lifelong friend. Not that she
wore the red apron all her life-that
only started the friendship. The fact
is that Margaret herself could not
have told why she was so attached to
her friend.

den gloom over the rosiest, sunniest
honeymoon for the bride to come un-
expectedly upon her husband, finding
him pacing nervously up and down
the room, with his brows puckered
into a decided frown. "Aren't you
happy, Harry dear?" she falters, unde-
cided as to whether to run to him or
fling herself down on the sofa in a fit
Of sulks or tears. Happy! oh GER
tainly," he answers quickly, "but, by
George! l was just thinking I ought
to be back in the Office. I didn't get
any letters letting me know how bust
ness is getting on, and it worries me-"
"You promised to think Of me, and me
only while we are away" sObs his
bride, keen note Of disappointment
in her voice. "Oh, yes, to be sure"
he answers, abstractedly, "but loafing
about hotels or going sightseeing is
getting on my nerves. We could be as
happy and great deal more contented
at home. What do you say of getting
back?" When a husband begins to
talk like that, even the most inexpe-
rienced Of brides dimly realizes that
their honeymoon has reached its re-
NTH, and it has just begun to wane q
bit. OF course, If she really insists
upon or makes a scene, hubby yields
to her wishes, but all Of the time he
is taking her out sightseeing he is
harassed by thoughts Of business
which will wedge themselves in. When
she thinks he Is out on the porch en-
joying cigar, he is found to be In
some hot, stuffy corner of the read
ing room, writing long, anxious let
ter to the firm assuring them that he
will not be absent much longer. A
honeymoon is only really truly one
when both bride and groom can COM
pletely forget the pressure, care and
obligations Of duties awaiting them at
home.
If worry treads hard on the heels
of pleasure the quicker the trip is
brought to a close the better. That
does not necessarily mean that the
honeymoon is to end abruptly. Some
honeymOOns last while both live and
love. When a man begins to grow
restless over extending the length Of
the wedding trip, a sensible bride will
agree that coming home a week or so
earlier than they had planned will
not matter much after all. The So
called friends who might comment on
it are not earning the bread and butter
for hubby. Their opinions should have
no weight with bride. Her hus-
bands interests, and his only, she
should study and conform to-. To the
majority of couples there comes but
one honeymoon in a lifetime; who
can blame them for making the most
of it? But very short and sweet one
is far better than a longer one into
which anxieties creep. Very often ex-
penses are found to be more than the
most careful reckoner anticipated. The
newly welded pair never commence
to save until they are duly installed in
home, sweet home.

ExceptionaI DAYS Work.

There was a lull in the conversa-

the stove in the center grocery as
Hank Parsons concluded his tale Of
the great results he had accomplished
in fence building. 1t was clear that
everyone was deeply impressed by the
story, for silence is to the soap-box
orator what applause is to the poll
tician.
Then an old man, known as "Old

marked. "But let me tell We that IL

NAVY BUILDERS MAKE RECORD
Dreadnaught Arizona Constructed in
Record Time and at Saving of
Nearly 100000.

Washington. - The superdread-
naught Arizona, which shares with
her sister, the future fleet flagship
Pennsylvania, the honor Of being the
greatest and most powerful fighting
ship ever built for the United States
navy, is, with the exception Of few
minor details, completed and ready
for service, the last rivet having been
driven on the day on which the con-
tract stipulated the Arizona should
be finished. Furthermore, the navy
yard constructors who built the Ari-
IONA have won the thanks Of the navy
department by building the ship at a
cost $1,OOOO00 less than Independent
ship contractors had estimated.
To Naval Constructor J. E. Bailey,
the builder of dreadnaughts, and to
his assistants, Commanders Earl P.
JessOp and S. r. II. Doyle Of the naval
engineering arm, goes the honor of
having effected this great saving to
the government, saving which even
the bureau chiefs in Washington did
