wanted to take walk somewhere to
cheer himself up. Just now he ha dleft
his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES boarding
house, in West Fifty-fifth Street, and
had walked to Eighth Avenue, and up
the four blocks to the Circle.

the first day he struck town, when his
fifty dollars looked big enough to see
him into a dozen successful "connec-
tions" But he had sold that to

Avenue. He laughed at himself now
for having been proud of it.
Pridel Yes, that was the trouble
with him, he was afraid. Because he
had been told hundred times that he

must have been shcltering too good an

the sunlit Drive. He headed up
Broadway, timing his steps with his
light stick as gaily as he could. But
by the time he had reached Seventy
second Street, his step was beginning
to slacken into a worried lope. In
fact, he was so intent upon the pave
ment, as he crossed at Seventy-second,
that he walked directly in front of a
big touring car booming towards River
side Drive. Besides the chauffeur, two
girls and two young men were in the
car.
The chauffeur threw out his clutch,
and Ellsworth looked toward the girl
who had screamed. She was gazing
full at him, and the real relief in her
eyes, as she looked back over her
shoulder, shot electric sparks from his
heart up along his arm, so that invOl-

stock-sti1 staring after her.
When he reached the Drive, the car
was out of sight.
For q few blocks the passing people
and the remembrance of that girl
kept up his spirits. And then, grad

was borne back upon him. Even the
delighted stage whisper of a woman
who pointed him out to her escort as

Propose To Supply the
Government Explosives

Pierre S. du Pont has written
TO Secretary of War Baker, point
ing out the seriousness of this
country's dependence on foreign
nations for supply of raw mate
rials for nitric acid supply essen
tial for explosives. He says the
du Pont Co. has purchased the
right of one of the leading pro-
cesses used abroad and has draf-
ted a bill to protect public inter
est and justify investment of cap
ital. Bill provides the company
shall deliver to the United States
for military or naval purposes
all, or any part, of the output of
nitric acid at price which the
Secretary of War shall determine
reasonable. Consulting engineer
of the company says construction
of proposed plant would involve
investment of $4,000, 900 on the
part of the firm but that its es-
tablishment was impossible
under present water power laws.
Bill will probably be presented in
the Senate for grant covering
point for a period of so years. at
the end of which time the Gov
ernment rs 30 have the option of
taking over the plant at a fair
valuation.

WHISKY AND

Christian Citizens Scored For

HopkinsvilIe, KY, April SIN

per cent of the crimes we have in
vestigated 1t also says that eide
ness and lazineSS, with disposition
to live upon the wages of Others" is
also partially responsible for many
crimes.
The grand jury criticizes citizenS
of the county, saying that too many.
of them are prone to "wink" at
crimes rather than assist in punish
ing the guilty. 1t states that it has
thoroughly investigated charges Of
extravaganza and graft made during
the road bond campaign recently and
finds that these charges founded on
mere "rumorS' and that no tangible
evidence of such irregularities was
presented to them. Consequently it
gives all county officials clean bill

Hudson Maxim on
Length Of the War

New York-In a letter to the
Times, Hudson Maxim says he be-
lieYeS the war will last from three TO
five years yet. He points out that
the Germans are entrenched in enc
mics countries and adds that it re
quiTeS three times as many men and
the expenditure of three times as
much ammunition to diSentrench a
well-entrenched enemy as it does to
hold strongly entrenched position.
Mr.. Maxim says that all of The talk
about starving out Germany is emp
ty vaporing He concludes by say
ing
England is unaSsailable in her is
olated position. She may possibly
lose Egypt, may possibly lose India,
but her oversee colonies cannot be
assailed; and should she lose Egypt
and India, England would yet moi be
whipped. 1t is my prediction that
the war will last from three to five
years yet, and that it is more likely
to be seven years than three"

The Minimum Wage

The Nolan bill provides for a
minimum wage of 800 per month
for employees of the federal
government. The hearings on
the bill have developed some
startling conditions in the public
service. Although the standards
of living and general wage scales
have been changed time and
again to meet conditions in the
business world, many laborers
employed by Uncle S I'M, are
working on the same basis estab-
lished fifty-five years ago. A
grave digger at Arlington ceme-
terry was brought before the COM
mittee, and it was found that he
has been receiving $40 per
month. On this sum he attempts
to support a large family. 1t
develops that this man has been
providing the last resting qlaces
for Generals, Admlrals and other
military heroes to whose mem
ories beautiful monuments have
been erected. The investigation
also discloses that there are a
great many people in the Gov
ernment service for $720 per an
mum, with no probabilities of in
creased pay. Considerable pres
sure is being used in the hopes
that Congress will set an example
to the rest Of the nation, by
establishing a minimum wage
that will provide at least a de-
cent living for its most menial
employees.

Price of Gasoline

Washington is firmly convinc-
ed that the Standard OIL Com
pany might, If it chose, prevent
the constant rise in the price of
gasoline. One suggestion is that
an embargo be placed upon gas
oline, thereby shutting off the
European market. In view of
the Governments position in
relation to the shipment of all
other kinds of supplies to the
war countries, it Is not likely
that attempts to regulate the
price of gasoline will be along
the embargo route. Another
legislative proposal favors the
seiEing of the properties of the
OIL. Another congress.
man thinks the situation might
be saved if the Interior Depart
ment would get busy and dig a
lot of oil wells throughout the
country. The automobile manu-
facturers are al K ors that some

Wonderful Work
Of Relief Makes
American Famous

Times says that the German govern
ment has invited H. O Hoover, the
American who has directed relief for

Mr.. Davis says that Mr.. Hoover,
acting as agent of the American peo-
pie and of french and English gov
ernmentS, has each month distributed
to destitute Belglans 100000 600
Of this, the money sent from Amer
ica, even including the $4,000, 900
donated by the Rockefellers, could
not have kept the Belgians alive for
seven weeks. Position of Serbia is
claimed to be most desperate. Help
that was expected from Italy has not
come and now at Brindisi, three
hours steaming from Durazzo, there
are $4,000 tons of rice, flour and
sugar, sent from America, which the
Italian government has not forward
ed. Mr.. Davis says the Germans
have stricken Serbia and already
100000 hogs and cattle have been
driven out of the country into Ger
man territory, while Serbian people
are reduced to eating horse flesh.
