SCULPTOR DRAWS
 PEN PICTURE OF
 GEN. HINDENBURG

Berlin, April 18.-Professor Hein- rich Cauer, a well known sculptor who has been engaged for some time on a bust of Hindenburg, contributes to the Bauseitung a pen picture of the popu- lar military leader.
 "Hindenburg's entire figure" he writes, from the crown of his head to the so1es of his feet, measures a trif1el over six feet. He holds himself with seldierIy erectness, but his head is usually bent forward, a habit which one always notices in big men accus- toned to speak with those of lessor stature. He gives you the impress sion of knight in arnor. His deep voice, and his remarks, often vhimsi- cal, but never injurious or ironicaI, are full of kindness and friendliness.
 eff you look at Hindenburg closely you will notice furrow over the nose drawn between the sweIlings of the brow. This furrow has been gra- ven by the gigantic responsibilities of the present war. You get the inn pression of strain and even suffering, an impression somehow heightened by the yellow color of the skin.
 ''The Field Marshal is lean. Photo graphs had led Ane to expect a fat man. But he is actually thin, and, this thinness increases the impression of energy in the face and is certainly preferable from the artists point of view

REPORTING AS A
 TRAINING SCHOOL

Some people look at the position of a newspaper reporter as a lowly one. Many plays satirize reporters as intrusive, aggressive, and rather offensive persons. There are people who feel that a young man Of culture and education lowers himself by chas- ing news.
 Thsi feeling formerly existed more than now. The newspaper profes- sion has so many gifted men nowadays that the dignity of the work is ob- vious. A suggestion of the service offered by experience in this function, is offered by the career of Richard Harding Davis, who has just died.
 Davis, one of the most popular story writers of the present time, began with the plain everyday work of re- porting fires and accidents, just like any other "cub." It developed and trained his powers, and gave him his chance to display his gift. A surpris- ness and public life started in as re- porters. N
 Many young men who are not clear what they want to do in life, begin work in this position. Even if they quit after a few years, the time is not wasted. They acquire invaluable gifts of clear, terse, logical expression of thought, accurate description, and precise statement. They become very observant, and see the significant de- tails where others gain only vague impressions.
 Many are the men who have gradu- ated from this school to the ranks of literature. Their repertorial expe- riepce gave them the gift of vivid de- scription without which no writer gets very far. Some young men enter tain the indolent wish that they could attain the higher positions in the newspaper world, without going through the mill of a reporters expe- rience. It is like wanting to go to college without going to school One must be able to report fire accurate 1y before he can discuss the war in Europe.

INSANITY INCREASING AT ALARMING RATE, IS
 FINDING IN ENGLAND

London, April 1s-The repor#-of the Board of Lunacy Control reviewing conditions in Great Britain since the year 1859. shows q. steady and alarm ing increase of insane persons in all classes, but especially among paul pers.
 In 1859 there were 36, 900 persons under control for 1unacy: in 1880, 1o0,- 900; in 1915, 0,0O0- I
 As compared to the total population the ratio of Iunatics in 1859, was 18.5 per 10000. In 1915 the proportion had risen to 37.7.
 We may at once reduce these com parative figures says the report, 'ey recogniTing that the diagnosis of Iu-n acy has improved. and tha ttherefora more cases are recognized and cared for than in 1859. Yet this does not explain all the increase. Other fac- tors must be considered. It is at this point that each theorist ladvances his claims, and we are asked to regard aIcohol,l syphilis, tobacco. over-strain, and other similar factors as the prime cause Of the increase in insanity.
 The truth is that the cause of lunacy is not known. The factors

TAKING A HUSBAND
 ON FAITH

Oh, why make moan!
 God pity those who have lost faith
 In human natures good intent;
 Whose rosy dreams have faded to 9
 wrath,
 When ugly truths the heart nave
 And trust has fownt-L. J. L.
 Of course women take the man they marry on faith They believe in him, put all /confidence in his avowaB of the love which. he declares is to last forever. They believe he intends to honor and protect them, else why would he wed?
 The majority of women carry this faith through life with them and their years glide by like a long sweet dream. Their husbands take care that their faith shall not be shattered Wives faith blinds them to any little weak nesses their husbands may possess. making honne-lffe 5 veritapIe Eden. a place where all cares are dropped and love a.bides in all joy and gladness
 Yet faith is a bubble light as air A rude jolt may shatter it beyond all possibility of repairing it. When this happens the angel of peace has taken wing from that household Instead of a. loving wife waiting at the door for the husband with a kiss, more likely he meets an irate woman who de- 1nan1s to know where he has been and whom he was with. Even if he does t,eIl her the truth he is not believed. | Shattered faith means confidence lost and when that is gone happiness has taken leave with it. Home is then a place of Guarrels One is the con- queror, the other the conquered. yyhen a man realizes beyond all doubtiI1g that his wife has actually l lost faith in him, he is apt to toss aside his mask if he has worn one and come. oft boldly in his true 3eolors, sneeFingly demanding of her what she 1 is going to do about it.
 l A truce in the household warfare may take place, their difficulties patched up for the time being, but want of confidence is felt on both sides. A suspicious wife always has a snoIdering fire in the heart she car rfes in her breast. It Is always ready to leap into flame at the slightest fan ming.
 When faith is gone, the sweetest, best part of love is slain. The nIan who thinks it can be regained never made Q greater error of Judgment. Love which has nearly burned out may in some instances be rekindIed with new fuel, but ther is Inc such hope held out for expiring faith. It is the. rust which eats into the golden marriage chain, it is the weak link at which it crumbles and falls apart. It lis the canker in teh rose.
 Sweethearts who lose tn in each other should never commit the folly of marrying. Faith can never be patched up satisfactorily. The young man who thinks nothing of disap- pointing his sweetheart on evenings she is expecting him to call, as he has agreed, finds her faith in him melting by degrees. She scarcely believes he

the adoration of the people until Good Frlday. It is the pious custom to send tapers to be burned on this mon ument, and what remains of -tl1enioafe taken home to be be lighted in case of storm or of grave illness or great anxiety.
 ''It is not an obligation, but as a,
 matter of devotion almost everybody visited six churches on Maundav Thursday. In the streets all traffic was stopped The women were all dressed in black silk, with mantiIlas covering their heads. These manfiI-. las were lined with bright colored satzz in and were very becoming to young girls. All the people walked in the middle of the street in going from one church to another. The churches be-, came very crowded, but policemen were stationed at the entrances and exits, and the strictest order was main tained.
 "On Maunday Thursday the royal family went in solemn procession to the Salon de Columns for the cere- mony of the washing of feet. The altar was censed and the gospel read. The grandees and nobIes then removed the shoes and stockings of the peer men. The -- papaI representative helped by the Bishop, the one holding a basin and the other a jug of silver, poured water on the feet of the poor and the King, kneeling before each man. wiped his weet with a towel and kissed them.
 This humble act accomplished, the poor took their places at the tables and the King waited on them. There was an elaborate menu, but no meats as Maunday Thursday is a day of ab- stinence from meats Standing at one end of the table the Bishop bless ed the dishes which were then hand ed by the grandees to the King, who placed one before each of the poor men, There were twelve courses, fol- lowedAby buildings, cheese. fruit, and a jug full of wine and a Ioaf''

WATER POWER BILL
(F'rom Committed on Industrial Re- 1ations, Washington, By
 Dante Bartonl

An enormous grab at the public wealth has recently been made by big with the help of the United States Senate.
 The Shields Water Power Bill, which has passed the Senate and is now in the House of Representatives of Con gress, is the worst attempt to get the natural resources of the people into private hands that has been pulled off in years.
 Unless the people back home beat this iniquitous grab in the House of Representatives the biggest remaining source of public wealth will pass into the hands of private privilege, with out compensation and forever.
 The bill will give away all the wa ter power of all the navigabIe rivers of the United States.
 The natural wealth thus to be lost to the people if this Shields Bill goes through the House would pay the cost of any sort of "preparedness' It 'tpreparedness for peace as would safeguard the health of workers at least lessen the evils/of unemployment, and give the great body of the people a real stake in their government. Vigorous and unrelentingl prosecu- ton to regain all land, water power and mineral rights secured from the government by fraud, was Feeom- mended by the main. or Manly. re- port of the Commission on Industrial Relations.
 t'The enormous incomes and inheri- tances that imperil our republic and the enormous power over others that go with these fortunes," said Frank P. Walsh, in. a recent statement issued by this Committee on Industrial Re 1ationss "are based on the unnatural possession by a comparative few of our. mines and our highways of com merce and of most of our richest farming lands"
 Is this grabbing game to go on forever :? Why does Congress stand for it and take a hand in it? The people, the workers, can stop this grab if they will act quickly and protest to their Congressmen. What l is left of the peoples earth here in America, and what can be taken back from Privilege grabbers, should be controlled and developed by the peo- pie for the people.
