ONE EDITORS ERROR.

The Alto Herald credits this to an
outside exchange:
by an error of the most humiliat-
Ing kind, the West Side Enterprise OF
last week gave the name OF song to
be sung at Olivet Church as "The Lit.
tie Brown jug in the Vale" instead
Of "The Little Brown Church in the
Vale" Typographical mistakes will
at times creep in, but this was with
out excuse. No sufficient apology can
be made to the congregation and re-
grets on the part Of the paper will
have to be accepted as atonement.'
/ Where mans heart Is, there is his
mind also. That editors heart was
in some little brown jug
somewhere, and consequently his
mind was roundabout. Lots Of alec.
holics are that way. Their thoughts
run to whisky even as the harried
doe pants for the water brooks. There
used to live in Nash County citizen
called Lige Norton. Lige owned a
little apple orchard whose fruit was
devoted to the yearly manufacture Of
brandy, mostly for personal consump-
'tion. Lige valued his apples in pro.
portion to his love OF liquor, and when.
ever one Of his children was caught
eating bit Of the forbidden fruit
Lige would sharply reprfmand the
young'un. But he was as much OF a
hypocrite as an alcoholic, and one day
when he detected his little daughter
munching an almost.ripe apple he
stormed at her, There you go, Su.
sannah, eating up the baby's brandy"

THE MORALS OF YOUTH.

Youth is said to be the seedtime OF
life. 1t is no doubt true, and being
true, the mater Of proper planting is
Of vital importance to every boy and
every girl in the land. Touching the
question Of the right start, the
Eagle quotes the following from the
pen Of that grand old East Texas
sage and philosopher, Col. R. T. Mil.
ner: -'-r'" 4 i'i+,
Parents, Teachers, preachers and
all persons who in any way attempt
to improve the morals Of youth should
strive to enable them to become mas.
tiers Of themselves. This can only be
done by mental, moral and intellect.
ual forces working in harmony.
Teach a boy that certain things are
wrong, that disgrace follows certain
acts, that clean thinking, clean act
ing are absolutely essential to no
BILE life. And that true manhood and
courage will forbid yielding to evil
in any shape. Any natural boy or
girl, endowed with good sense and a
true principle. would rather be good,
useful, healthy and happy than to be
mean. undesirable. sickly and I'M
happy. Start them right and keep
right yourself. and. 1t will be the ex-
ception where the boys and girls viii
fail to measure up to high standard
OF conduct"

Firms Hire Big Autos to Garry
Employees if Strike Is General
Many of Citys Toilers Will Ride TO and From Work
SIGHTSEEING Machines While Others viii Be
Kept at Hotels.

Options on practically every avail
able sightseeing car in Greater New
York have been held for the last three
days by large firms In anticipation OF a
strike which might cripple the city's
surface lines, and possibly the subway
and elevated. Some firms have paid as
high as $40 a day a car merely for the
option, and have agreed to pay from
SIS to 500 day for each car if com
PEELED to use them.
Many Firms Hire Cars.
Besides the roomy sightseeing cars,
the largest Of which look as if they
would hold more than half a hundred
persons by judicious packing, there
have been reQuisitioned for use, II nee
essary, whole feet of tsxicabs and
touring cars and scores of capacious
motor trucks, which will be rugged up
with seats.
AT the Offices of the Green Car Sight

said dozens Of inquiries had come from
business houses wishing TO make ar
rangemonts for the transportation OF

U-BOAT DYESTUFF
MAY PAY BIG TAX
Firms Here Fear Assess
ment on Value in the
United States.

The amount OF import duty TO be
assessed on the ITO tons of dyestufs
brought from Bremen by the sub
marine Deutschland caused speculation
and concern yesterday among the six
New York firms who own the ship
ment. Whether duty will be based on
the valuation of the dye by American
or German standards, rests they say,
with the appraisers at Baltimore.
IL is customary to pay duty on the
market price" at the point of export.
But If overseas commerce has been so
curtailed that no market" price on
dyestuffs exists in Bremen, the APP
praisers here would Judge the value
from sale prices here. or accept data
from the exporter as TO the cost Of
production. The price on dyestufs
here is ten times what it was before
the war, and assessment on the
American valuation would be tremen-
dous. Importers here feel confident
the government will be able to de-
termine the price in Germany, how
ever, and at the local Appraisers Office
this view also is held.
The dyestufs are expected here in
a few days, but as yet, no word has
been received as TO when the Balti-
more officials will complete appraisal.
A scramble for the possession Of the
goods was indicated by Herman A.
Metz, of Metz & Co., 122 Hudson
Street, one Of the six consignees. II
appears that some of the firms have
been "short-shipped." Metz said he
had no intention Of allowing a pro
rata division.
Two other firms said that the short
shipment TO some Of consignees hap
pened through an over-rated carrying
capacity of the Deutschland.
Importers do not believe the
Deutschland cargo sufficient to affect
prices in America. II the State De-
psrtment could carry through the
negotiations of last March allowing the
importation of 100000 worth of
dyestutfs through regular channels,
one said, the price would be reduced
from one-ffth 70 one-fourth.
Besides Metz & Co.. the firms which
will share the Deutschland cargo are
the Bayer Company, Inc, Bsdische
Company, Berlin Aniline Works. Cas-
sella Color Company, and the Kallc
Color and Chemical Company.

"Go to It, Rusty Put it over"
II was evident that all Rusty

throat.

Rusty" Livingston, who ordinarily
handles a bell cord on the Lexington
Avenue division.
"'Ray for Teddy! Ray for Mr.. He'd
ley! Rusty you sure put it across"
These cries came in chorus from the
assembled streetcar men, who, with
Rusty" as their spokesman, had called
at the Office of their chief TO assure
him of their loyalty in the present
crisis. Mr. Shonts, beaming broad
smile. acknowledged the plaudits.
The petition showed that out of the

"And that means" said Rusty "that

The car mems spokesman then went
on to say that he believed Mr.. Shonts
and Mr.. Hedley should work out a
hpi.n whereby the employees would have
q grievance committee which could al
ways meet the heads Of the company.
He also asked adequate protection
for the men who intended TO remain

them to Mayor Mitchell.
President Shonts appeared affected
by the demonstration.

of you. This is a marvellous demon

Mr.. Hsdley then addressed the men
on a plan he said he was working out
with Mr.. Shonts, through which the
men could bring their grievances direct
to the company head.

STRIKE CAUSES JUMP
IN JITNEY LICENSES
800 Successful Applicants May
Soon Run on Car Streets.

More than 800 licenses to operate
jitneys and motor buses were granted
yesterday at the Office Of the Commits
sioner Of Licenses, Tenth Avenue and
Fifty-seventh Street. That is more
than six times the number usual at
this time of year and is taken as a
forecast Of what may come Of the
streetcar strike.
In granting the licenses to operate
machines on streets already occupied
by car lines the Commissioner of
Licenses is laying up trouble for the
courts, for a law passed in 1915 makes
it illegal for jitneys to operate on such
streets unless by permission of the
Board of Estimate. That body has not
granted such permits.
