There IS a popular superstition
that in summer people ought 10 read

What Hetty Green Missed

No. Hetty Green Was not the
wealthiest woman She merely had
the most money. There are n great
many women who wouldn't sell
their youth. or their prettiness, or
the noisiest. kickingest baby alive,
or even husband, for all that Het
" Green had. II is often said by
people with money that no one

Most rich people belle the saying
by riding in expensive motor cars,

great houses, employing hordes OF
servants and acting as though they
really believed there was some IN.
usually fine about them. But Hetty
Green made no such protcnsions.
Being enormously rich. in the mon.
ey sense, she vas sincere enough to
be. At az least appear. unhappy. The
natural impulse was 70 he sorry for

School Music Low Brow"

connected with the extension dele

the teaching OF music in the schools

Turn Your Tires

Here is some good advice for au-
tomobilists In Farm and Fireside,
the national farm paper published
in Springfield. o.:
When for any reason you remove
automobile tires, always place the
side that was away from the car
towards the car IN putting them
back. Most Of the wear on a tire
occurs on the outside edge. But
putting the worn side towards the
car, the unworn part OF the tire will
receive the hardest wear, and in that
way the tire will wear out on both
sides instead OF wearing through
in one place. II is the plan used
by a man TO make his socks last
longer. He alternately wore the
left sock on the right foot, and
vice versa"

Plenty of Leather.

The impression has gotten into
the daily newspapers that there is
big shortage OF shoes and leather
in America In consequence, for
about the first time in history, near
ly every daily paper. large and small
In the United States. has been pub.
fishing warnings about this alleged
shortage. without giving study or Sc
rious attention to the matter. II is
not surprising, therefore. that much
leather, many shoes and consider
able leather merchandise OF all
kinds has been hurriedly purchased
and accumulated, as much as pos
sible, by nervous and excited buy.
ers. r. can hardly be logically az.
serted that there Is any shortage or
shoes and leather in tslerica For
fully nine months o.r shoe and
leather factories, as rule, have
been running at, or near, full ca.
paclty. This meant tremendous
output Of shoes and leather. Even
allowing for increased exports. we
yet seem TO be carrying a fairly lib.
eral supply OF shoes and leather. al.

Being Prosecutor of OscOda
County Is Our Idea of a
Nice, Soft, Steady Job

And, again, there is the case of Oscoda
county.
Oscoda county is dry.
The other day the prosecutor up there
rat down to make report to the attor-
ney general in Lansing, to let the attor-
ney general know how many arrests had
beem made in the first six months of
1915; how many warrants had been
sworn out and how many evildoers he
shad prosecuted.
His report was as follows
Arrests during the first six months,
NONE.
Warrants sworn out the first six
months. NONE.
It follows that his report on prosecu.
tions was NONE.
TO repeat, Oscoda county is DRY.
To repeat again, THERE WAS NO
ARREST MADE, NOT EVEN A WAR.
RANT SWORN OUT IN OSCODA
COUNTY DURING THE FIRST SIX
MONTHS OF THE PRESENT YEAR.

bition is that it takes five years for any
community to begin to reap the full ben

strong beyond all others in racial sehdar
ity: so steadfast in their own religion
that it might put to shame many OF then
oppressors; true to their principles; tai
ented beyond other peoples along artistic
and cultural lines.
A weaker race, subjected TO the same
treatment, would have been eXtermlnated
long since.
A weaker race would have tamely sub
rn;tted. given up its traditions and rell-
gion and become submerged in the count
less strains surrounding it.
For II has emigrated TO every cline,
seeking only a living and to worship GOD
in its own way.
Centuries ago, the Jews were deprived
of the privilege of owning land IN Euro
mean countries, so that from being an
agricultural people they were obliged to
turn their attention to bartering IN the
market places.
How well they succeeded at this form
Of business enterprise we all know.
Although despised with an unreason-
ING prejudice in the middle ages and af-
ter. the countries of Europe depended up
on them to finance their governments in
times of stress.
In more modern times they have help
ed to tide over panics and negotiate big
loans in America and France, the French
holdings of Russia being largely respon-
sible for the curious alliance called the
triple entente.
The persecution of this race is not con-
fined to Russia, although that country,
in the name of religion, carries on this
medieval system with open animosity.
Germany, France and the United
States have more refined form OF in
justice by discriminating against its peo-
pie in social matters, clubs, societies, and
other distinctions.
Although willing to be party to this
form of persecution, all the countries at
war were eager to accept the Jew in
their armies and he has responded to the
call to arms in as large proportion to his
numbers as have others.
Although the old prejudice still holds
sway, we hope that the people of the
United States will see the light before
many years are over.

the supreme bench of this country woulo

Purpose of This Wide
Movement Bespeaks a Great
Faith in the Present Day

There is tremendous movement on
foot, headed by such men as Justice
Louis Brandeis, Judge Hugo Pam, Ma
than Straus and other prominent Jews,
to unite the entire Hebrew race in one
organization.
This is done in an effort to bring pres
sure to bear, when the peace treaties of
al the warning countries are drawn up,
to safeguard the Jews in future, from
the terrible persecution of the past.
Every city in America is to have a
local branch composed of every Jewish
activity, synagogue, temple, society,
which will be affiliated with a Jewish
National congress, which, in turn, will
be part of the international Jewish
congress.
This congress will represent the eleven
million Jews of the world, and when
terms are drawn up, at the close of
the war, it believes that its organiza-
ton will be sufficiently strong and CO
hesive to demand that treaties shall
guarantee to Jews equal political, ma
tional, civil and religious rights in com
mon with other races of the world.

AT the Bottom of Silence.
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

AdIlie WHY could not sleep. The doc
tors said his brain was too active for the
rest OF his body. And certainly when
you looked at his big eyes and pinched
race you seemed to be gazing at a soul
too scantily bodied. Those eyes had the
air of looking past you, at invisible
things behind you.
One morning as | sat by his bed he
fell to talking.
DO you know" he said, at seems as
II at night | am slipping down into the
deep funnel of silence. All the fore part
of the night go down, and toward morn
ing come up. Early in the evening the
street under my window is full Of noises,
men and women and children pass and
talk, horses hoofs clatter on the asphalt,
automobiles chug by and toot horns,
wagons rumble, newsboyS and peddlers
cry 1T gradually thins out; it gets stiller
and Stiller; and along about two o'clock
! reach the bottom of the silence.
Then | hear things | never hear of
days; steamboats, hoarse voices over the
river, locomotives going "hoooo-hoooo-
hoo hoooo,' a belated rat-tat-tat of heels
on the sidewalk, sometimes drunken
man singing, woman sobbing, dog
barking, sometimes away off the dim
roar Of train.
And then all out beyond these sounds
there are others that | hear with my
minds ear. hear the steady boom
boom boom of the cannon over in Eu-
rope, like far-ofT drums rolling. | hear
the screams Of men bayonetted. hear
women weeping, millions of them, and 1t
sounds like the wind in the chimney IN
winter
Il hear the pattering of feet in China,
where it is day, and the myriad voices
of the yellow people, like brook CUR
Cling over stones.
81 hear the waves tapping on the
shores Of India, masts creaking on the
ships that labor in the Seven Seas, and
Arabs in the desert grooming, and the
harsh voices Of camels.
81 hear the worlds music: negroes
singing in Louisiana, guitars tinkling in
Andausia, Sicilian love songs, kaflir
wailings, and tom-toms pulsng, congre-
cations hymning in churches. roisterers
carousing in brothels, all going up in a
confused wave Of human sound to Gods
ears. And | wonder what He thinks
Of it.
81 hear mothers chanting to their
babies, and lovers kissing and signing,
and battle men cursing. And | hear the
sound of the never-ending worship in the
Catholic churches all over the world,
which Zangwill likens to the roar of
Niagara.
II hear unnumbered prayers ascend
ing. and heart beatings like fluttering
birds. and humanity breathing like the
wind in the palmetto leaves.
Sometimes it all seems so sordid and
petty and mean, and wonder what God
made it for. And then it seems at other
times wonderful and majestic and beau
tiful.
and sometimes, when it's the very
stilest, and get way down to the very
bottom tin of the funnel of silence, can
hear God thinking. And what He thinks
at night happens during the day."
