WHEN THE MONEY is IN SIGHT.

| In letter to a clothing merchant
of this city refusing an order FOR white
underwear of nigh quality and price.
one of the leading manufacturers eX-
plains that the firm can not furnish
the bleached article because it can not
obtain the materials needed for bleach
ing. 1t adds that it has been expert
menting for some time with substitutes
but has found nothing satisfactory. So
the merchant must pass on the refusal
and the information to his customer
and offer unbleached garments as the
nearest substitute So it appears that
not only in dyes is the United States
helpless at present but in the manu-
facture Of certain classes of bleached
goods
If this war has done nothing but
bring the realization of how utterly de-
pendent America has been in certain
ways upon foreign chemists it will
have been indirectly OF great service

we can, should we choose TO do SO.
build an impenetrable barrier about
our boundaries and live without the
our infinite resources and our intelli-
gence in dealing with them. That We
should be so entirely dependent as to
find our industries embarrassed and
halted by such an entire dependence
upon the scientists and chemists and
manufacturers of other countries Is
sufficient evidence that however loud
~ we may have Dragged the fact re-
mains that We are at standstiN II
certain important lines because war
has separated US from a foreign base
Of supplies
1t IS not a question Of inability
Sooner or later we shall find the dyes
and the bleaches and other necessities
that We lack, make them at home and
a condition which is not only
but a blow u American
pride. The war with its exigencies has
opened the way for new American in
dustries by creating demand that can
not be satisfied except by American
research and discovery and enterprise.
We shall have them. We can do II
and now that the market offers COM
mensurate reward we will do il. Anc
when we have done it cur dyes and
our bleaches will be preeminent. The
main reason that we have not done il
before has been that the reward
lacked sufficiency. We have been do
ing more profitable things; but when
the market shakes money in the air
doubt not that American enterprise
will reach for it.

1Ue List o. $0'S:-Ss @nHn1S:
1t is officially announced that lit
persons were killed by automobiles or
in automobile wrecks in Iowa in q sin
gle year. 1t is an appalling record.
Some of the fatalities We're unavoid-
able but most of them were due to
pure carelessness or recklessness.
One of the fruitful sources Of disaster
Is speeding. The dare devil spirit that
prompts reckless driving is one Of the
most serious features OF this means Of
transportation. Speeding Is a menace
not only to the occupants of the car
but to others who may be upon the
highway. There is disregard for the
safety for others that is criminal and
this fact is being enforced by the
courts. A respected farmer from Keo-
kuk county is serving a term in the
penitentiary because he failed to see
child in the highway and the death
Of the little tot resulted. In another
county large damages have been
awarded victim of an automobile
collision caused by reckless speeder.
In Des Moines recently jury awarded
because he ran into a pedestrian who
was exercising his rights in the use
of the street. 1t is to be hoped that the
law against excessive speeding will be
strictly enforced. The death list
reaching III persons in a single year In
this state ought to arouse public at
tention to the extent Of an insistence
upon the enforcement Of the law touch
ing the use made of the public high
ways.

THE KIND THAT STAY.

There is a class of families WIN
make community their permanent
nome. They are there with the pass
ing OF the years. They are interested
and daily striving to live reasonably
good lives. to maintain good homes,
ana TO rear good citizens. They do
their part in quiet and unobtrusive
way in the making Of the community
DETER in which to hive. They heir
with improvements with the schools
with the churches, etc. You can have
an understanding with them today
and come back in SIX months and find
them in the seif-sa place. You
know that their selfish interests will
not lead them to desertion or to un-
Harness or to thoughtlessness. You
may seek advice of them and you
know that their words will not be
guaged by a few selfish dollars that
may be at stake. You may pay them
debt and have no fear of having 70
pay 1t twice, in the event that you
lose the receipt. ....'
This is the class of people tina,
gives one faith in human nature. You
can and We can pick them out along
the streets Of the city and along the
country lanes. 1t is a good class in
which to seek membership. Its re-
ifgion consists of actions.

Bones are a species of hidden stag
ing over which the human body is
draped Some people have more bones
than others and are obliged to be
padded in liberal and profuse manner
by the merchant tailor. One Of the
cruelest edicts ever put forth is that
which now prevents lean customer
with oyershot bones from being padded
in several protuberant joints and sent
home to his family looking thirty
pounds heavier.
There are several hundred bones
in the human body. all of which can
be reached with perfect ease by the
sciatic rheumatism or the self-per-
colating grip. Some Of these bones
serve q good and useful purpose and
should be retained where they are at
present, while others are Of no use
whatever and are kept largely for their
sentimental value. Among these are
bones of the neck, which have driven
many a proud society leader to the
high collar with a stiff yoke. Then
there is the crazy bone, which il
charged in early youth with 1900
amperes OF ram electricity and grows
stouter with age. We would like to
ask IL there is any reason why medical
science should remove the harmless,
recumbent form Of a decadent appen-
dix and still leave the crazy bone ex-
posed to the open air, where 1t can
step on itself and paralyze an unsus-
pecting owner.
The most durable and widely-used
bone which the schools Of medicine have
yet discovered is the jaw-bone. This
bone is used to converse. sing. preach
and pray with, altho 1t is seldom over
worked in the latter direction. It Is
hung on a pivot and has multiple
disc clutch which enables it to engage
in any conversation without previous

NO CAUSE FOR PARENTAL WORRY.

A story is going the rounds of an
Swear old Iowa boy who lectures on
War and Public Opinion" a fourth
grace pupil in the schools who is as
serted to have "a striking command OF
words. an easy self possession and a
grasp of world issues" beyond that of an
average man." On particular occasion
when he was years old he spoke-so
the story goes-before an audience of
5000 persons holding them 10 ''rapt
attention"
But never mind. you parents of s.
year-olds. Suppress your jealousy. In
the first place the chances are that the
infant prodigy is getting all that Is
coming TO his precocity and then some
the second place-which is really the
first place-you do not want any in
fant prodigies in yours if you know
what is good for you and your Swear
olds.
Be content with Swear old boys that
are neither over or under normal. Be
satisfied with just, plain kids that you
have to watch to keep out of mis-
chief and the common deviltry Of s.
year olds, who must be Jumped on" to
get at their lessons after supper and
whose ready diction and self posses
sion runs to demanding food and beg
ging to go skating. In the long run
that kind of kids are the most salts
factory Precocity is not pledge to
success in any line. Watch your young
heather rage and feel no pang because
| they are not at years Of age holding
vast AUDIENCES rapt under the spell OF
oratory when they ought to be COM
planning because the teacher is making
them speak pieces Friday afternoons.
It's a pity about that little boy who
has been embarked in the infant pro-
Dizzy business. He'll have to pay later
for all the 1urrah that has been made
over him as a kid, that is If he Is like
the usua. Infant prodigy. Folks have
set him aside as something extraorlln-
airy. The chances are that he can't
keep the gait, too much will be, ex-
pected Of him and when he falls he
falls like those little wanton boys who
swan on bladders to furnish Cardinal
IWolsey smile. Their the poor kid ia
losing all the fun Of childhood.
/ Don't worry over infant prodigies
and abnormal precocity. Let the folks
that have them on their hands do the
worrying Just thank the good Lord
THAT your kids are like other kids and
like you were when you were kid
and go on buying pair Of shoes every
tIssiix weeks ard threatening to skin 'em
la1ive If they tear their new pants and
watch them grow along the lines that
mature laid out for kids to develop in
when she started an infant industry
with little Cain.

A THOUSAND TONGUES.

70
The other evening in a local church
the choir and congregation were sing
ing, oh. Thousand Tongues to
Sing And we submit that it would
have helped some as the crowd was
not by any means large. But this
thought was forced upon us-how
many OF this congregation really be-
lieVed In the literal carrying out OF
the words Of the song?
No doubt but few IN the congrega-
ton ever over-worked the one tongue
in their possession in carrying on the
work Of making men and women of
this old world better. yet were asking
for thousand. The words OF the
song are all right and II carried out
in the meaning in which they were In
tended a marvellous change could and
would come over this community.
There were men and women in that
congregation who never in their life
ever lifted finger toward carrying
the message to Garcia or sought to
bring comfort to the distressed in
their immediate neighborhood Sing
ing church hymns IL coYnmendable
but acting the part Of good citizen
in assisting in solving the prob1emt
OF society and making this old world
a better place in which to live u
something Infinitely greater.
1t is easy to sing songs in com
fortab BILE pew, but 1t IL far more worth
while in the final analysis to get on,
shoulder to shoulder with the daily
problems of business One tongue
honestly employed il worth q thous-
and 1oafing on the job OF life.
