ProfitabIe Pebbles.

The flint pebble industry gives oc- equation to many women and children along the French coast lying between Havre and Dieppe. The pebbles col lected in and near Havre are selected for their spherical shape and are used exclusively for pulverizing in certain industries, particularly in the manu- facture of cement and in copper mines, being employed in the interior of large cylinders. In the cement industry the slow turning of the pebbles produces a powder which becomes an ingredient of the cement, while in the copper in- dustry the metal is freed of all impuri- ties by the grinding operation. The same kind of pebbles is used for crush ing purposes in the manufacture or paint. Another important use of flint pebbles Is in the manufacture of porce- lain, the pebbles for this purpose be- ing found between Fecamp and Calais. Philadelphia Press. s.-

MAY PROVIDE FUND FOR
CONFEDERATE VETERANS

Mr.. A. PAGE OF. this city recently
wrote to Congpssman John y. TIL
man OF Arkansas in relation TO a bill
that has been introduced bt the lat
ter In congress for the distribution Of
a fund of sio.OOo.ooo. lying idle in the
United States Treasury. as pensions
for confederate soldiers and their
widows for priyations and hardships
suffered during the cfsn war ami
received the following reply;
Washington. D. c. ArrIi q, 1916.
Dear Sir:
"Your letter of the 2oth inst. re-
ceived and read with care. The bill
to aid Confederate veterans and their
widows is now in the hands OF the
committee on invalid pensions. | am
doing everything ! can TO bring the
bill to vote. The bill provides for
a pension OF thirty dollars a month TO
each Confederate soldier. or his widow
and bonus OF FIVE hundred dollars 9"
In explanation II may be stated that
Congressman Tillman's bill does not
ask for an appropriation from any OF
the moneys OF the United States OBJ
tained from general taxation. with
which 10 pension Confederate veter-
ans. but requests the use OF a fund
that has been unproductiye in the na-
tionai treasury fer nearly fifty years
that vas collected in the Southern
states during the reconstruct on per-
iod as war tax on cotton growing.
The government at the close OF the
Civil war to help meet its financial
necessities imposed a tax uoon cot
ton growing. from which a revenue
OF s;o.o0o.0o0 was collected. This
money was never used by the govern
ment because OF litigation in the
courts TO determine the constitution
ality OF the law under which IL was
collected. The Supreme court OF the
United States finally decided that the
laying of an impost upon cotton grow
ing was illegal and ordered the resti-
tuition of the money to those from
whom It had been collected. This.
however. was never done and II has
remained in the federal treasury un.
touched to this day. The money was
obtained from the Southern cotton
planter and the consrcssman's bill pro
vldes a way for getting it back into
the possession OF those to whom II Of
right belongs.

any other country in the world during
peace times and has received less re-
turns. In the last 80 years our pop
ulation has increased S5 per cent, our
wealth 1s5 per cent, and our expendi-
lures 400 per cent. Just before the
outbreak Of the present European war
Germany was spending 55 percent of
her revenue for war and on account
OF war: Japan 45 percent: Great Brit-
ain. 81 per cent; and France, 35 per-
cent, while the United States was
spending 81 per cent.
We have not forgotten that few
years ago our navy made an exhibi-
tion tour of the world and was laud-
ed as the most powerful of any navy
afioat. Now, notwithstanding the an
nuaI expenditure of s240, 700. 900 a year
on the Army and Navy. we have, ac-
cording to the preparedness propa-
ganda. neither army or navy worth
speaking of.
We believe in a patriotism that is
not inspired by greed, courage that
is willing to stand for the right al
ways and everywhere, and prepared
ness for the peace. prosperity and the
welfare of the whole human family
This end cannot be reached by stand
ing armies or big navies. but by a
moral uplift that shall bring humanity
in harmony with the Prince of Peace.
