gagements the President will deliver

%, and will pay two visits to New
York State on dates not yet selected.
Mr.. Mccormick said that this pro-
gram will carry the President up to
election day and that few il any addi-
tions would be made. Henry Ford
remained with the President four
hours and assured Mr.. Wilson that
he was willing to do everything pos
sible to bring about his selection.
He said he had made no plans for
contributing to the Democratic cam
paign fund because he did not be-
heve in such course. II think the
office should seek the man, not the
man the office" declared Mr.. Ford.
Secretary McAdoo who had planned
to make several political speeches,
probably will not carry out his plans
because of public business. ...
The President has almost complet-
ed the selecting of the shipping
board and the board created by Con-
gress to observe the workings of the
eight-hour law for railroad employees.
Two of the members of the shipping
board probably will be Bernard Bak-
Or Of Baltimore and William Den
man of San Francisco.

Out BY Their Reports.-Few At

New York.-Although labor leaders
insisted that the general strike OF
trades unionists in the Greater City
in aid OF the carmen who quit their
places September 6, eventually would
involve at least 100000 workers,
there were no surface indications of
tie-up Of the city's industries, as
threatened, after announcement was
made that the strike had begun.
While the union leaders claimed
that $4,000 workers in various
trades already had joined the move
ment with twice as many more ready
to walk out" the police said they
had received no reports to substan-
tiate any such estimates. The actual
situation, 1t was said, was confused
because of Jewish holidays, which
are being celebrated here by more
than 100, 900 union workers.
Leaders OF the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION of Street and Electric Rail-
way employees. whose members are
on strike, were encouraged over the
possibility OF the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers coming to
their aid. Officials OF that organiza-
ton notified the Public Service Com

dore P. Shonts, president of the In

Mr.. Shonts declared, however. that
there were no differences between

wood, and when it has been found nee

to widen or deepen the channel the

Sandy boarded somewhat crowded

Sandy thereupon moved up.
At the next stopping place there was
another halt. Two children boarded
the car, and the request for Sandy to
move up was repeated.
A little farther on Sandy reached his

THEIR WIVES MAKE TROUBLE
Officials Worried by Canadians Who
Want to See Husbands-They
Reduce Efficiency.


Mainly on the ground that their pres
ence tends to hamper efficiency in the
Canadian forces in England and
France, the agents-general in London
OF the provinces of Canada, assembled
In conference and passed a resolution
calling upon the provincial govern
ments to take prompt steps to discour-
age officers and soldiers wives from
going to London until the end of the
war.
There are more than three thou
sand wives Of officers and men of the
Canadian forces now in the United
Kingdom" one agent-general said. ad-
dressing the conference, vand l under
stand this number is to be increased
during the next two or three months
at rate of upwards of one thousand
a week.
Immediately they arrive they COM
municate with their husbands, who
perhaps have only just returned from
the trenches, urging them to get a
further few days leave. In the ma
jority of cases this is, of course, inn
possible, owing to the military exigen-
cies. But in spite of that they persist,
demanding the Intervention Of the
agent-general and the high commits
sioner, and when they find they are
helpless in the matter these good
women take things into their own
hands and write the military authori-
ties. In not few cases they have
communicated with the commanding
officer direct, without the knowledge
of the husband, to whom such behav-
ior causes some anxiety.

1t seems almost impossible that flow
ers could grow on icebergs. Travellers
in the northern Pacific and sometimes
in the northern Atlantic have wit
messed this strange sight. 1t appears
that some animals carry on their feet
a growth of moss, which is deposited
on the ice while it is attached to the
mainland far in polar regions. In time
this decays and forms shallow soil in
which the seeds of buttercups and
dandelions often find lodging from
currents of winds that doubtless catch
them up in some southern cline. These
take root and bloom in profusion
when the great cleaning iceberg floats
out to sea and is carried southwark.
where the soft winds melt the surface
and give the seeds and plants the
moisture they need. Such floating
flower gardens, with dazzling peaks of
dark-green ice all about them. have
been seen far from the home Of the
iceberg, which is near the Arctic
circle.

cuItIvatlnc Beauty.

If the busy housewife can spare an
hour or so each day in the exercise
necessary to retain her youth and
beauty, all we'll and good. But If not
each daily task can be utilized to i'm
prove some part of the body. Dash
ing cold water, followed by hard rub
bing, tones up the skin and prevents
colds, improves the circulation and
takes no more time than languid rub
with wash cloth. Even dressing can
be made useful in this respect when
the housewife leans down to button
her shoes. The knees should be kept
rigid and the bending should be en-
tirely at the waist. Instead of sitting
to dress the hair, hang the mirror at
a convenient height and as you put
in the pins rise and fall slowly on the
toes, keeping the chest well up. This
strengthens the back and ankles to a
great extent.

not one Of the smiling ones! She
faced Deane with grave eyes bearing
an expression he did not at all fancy.
He tried to laugh 1t OF, but felt that
he had made decidedly bad impress
sion.
He with Boyd Lester comprised the
duo OF rivals for the hand of Grace.
So far his brilliant, aggressive ways
had impressed her friends with the be-
lief that eventually Grace would favor
this sutton Lester was more quiet.
Both young men were candidates for
the vacant circuit judgeship of the
county. 1t was pretty well understood
that Judge Waldron would favor the
one who succeeded in winning the
election.
The cheap, heartless trick which
Deane Wanted somehow made a se-
rious impression on the mind of
Grace. She noted that 1t was shared
by Lester, although the latter made
no comment, but his face was plying
as the unfortunate young man. from
the creek settlement went on his I'M
steady way, turned into a wooded lot
just beyond the Waldron grounds, and
for the time being at least gave up
the task of finding his way home by
lying down under bush and forget
ting life and its activities in sodden
,slumber.
Grace was preoccupied all the after
noon. She avoided Deane and he no.
ticed it. Hers was a tender heart.
Memory, too, had been busy. She re-
called a cousin who had fallen a vic
tim to the lure of the wine cup at
the acme Of ambition, always a grief
with the devoted relatives who had
seen his promised life cut short.
Il wish you would remain a little
after the others leave" she said to
Lester, and he was in the seventh
heaven Of delight at the words. Then
whez the others had departed she
camo TO the retired garden seat where
he znobtrusively awaited her. She
was embarrassed and flushed as she
sat down beside him.
You are good friend, Mr.. Lester"
she said, land l felt you would be
glad to help me out of some trouble
some anxieties."
you have but to command me-"
assured Lester Loyalty,
"The poor unfortunate who passed
by here upon whom Mr.. Deane had
played the sorry trick-you remember
him?"
Lester bowed in assent. At that mo-
ment he decided that Deane stock was
at low appraisement with Miss Grace
Waldron.
Come with me, please" continued
Grace. THE poor fellow is lying in
the bushes just beyond here"
She led the way past the confines of
the home grounds. AS they neared
some bushes the prone figure of the
wretched inebriate came into view.
He is young and has not a hard
face" pursued Grace, and her tender
sympathy touched responsive chord
in the heart of Lester. He has a
mother. probably. They have disfig-
ured him with what they call their
joking ways. Mr.. Lester, want you

You can trust me willingly to do

Grace, blushing at her own temerity,
darted away and as Lester approached

abruptly.

of his hopeful nature. The nearer

his sister who had taken up his philan-

dusk one evening.
"Mr. Allen-it can't be possible!"

Knowledge La Power.

1t is true that knowledge is power,
but how to use this power is another
question, and means the learning OF
another lesson. The Persians have
this significant and clever saying: 1T
takes ten pounds of common sense to
carry one pound of learning" AS
common sense is not so very common
after all, it will mean diligent use
of the means to gather ten pounds to
carry the one pound of learning, but it
can be done. How much better to do
it, than to lose the power Of knowl-
edge, or waste the learning SO hard
to gair.
