Chances for Big Profits.

Under these conditions it is not difficult
to appreciate the enormous possibilities
for profit which in recent months have
been offered the mining experts of this
country, and. through them, to investors
who have conservatively chosen their in
vestments. If profits can be made from
the production of 20-cent copper the pos
sibilities for the metal at 80 cents are
enormously enhanced
Perhaps the most gratifying feature of
this turn in events is the fact that many

cause of the fact that they were unable
to make a profit at prevailing prices. are
able to resume operations on profita BILE
basis.
! Stimulated by this unprecedented de-
! mand for mining securities. many new
enterprises are being hoated in the
markets of the large centers. some of
them promising, but many of them
more likely to prove disappointing be-
cause of the methods that are employed
in their fiotation. Too much care can
not be exercised in discriminating

Metals and Profits.

| The attention of investors is now being
quite naturally diverted from other forms
of investment to the metal markets and
metal stocks on account of the extraor-
binary profits resulting from the world
wide demand for metal. The logical eff
feet OF this increased demand for the
principal metals has been the boosting OF
prices to unprecedented levels and even
under these conditions it seems an al
most impossible task to meet the require
ments of foreign and domestic consump
ton.
The most insistent demands are for
electrolytic copper. which. for immediate
delivery, is now commanding Il price OF
81 cents per pound. comparing with an
average of IA cents for the thirty years
prior to the outbreak of the European
war. Metal dealers freely express the
opinion that accent copper is well within
the range of possibility. Should the ne
gotatons which nov being carried
on by the French government for 20
900. 900 pounds of copper be closed, the
available supply of salable metal will
be still further restricted.

"CHUMMY" MODEL POPULAR

Every booth in Motor hall was filled
today and Topeka auto men We're be-
wailing the fact that the hall was too
small for the number of entries they
wished to make. Approximately S2.,-
600 worth of machines were on the
floor, representing the entries OF
seventeen. dealers and twenty makes
of cars, and ranging in price from
$500 to $4,000. 1t is estimated thai
every member of the $4,000 crowd
averaged half an hour sightseeing in
Motor hall
The striking thing about this years
exhibit is the colCrS used. The motor
car of yesterday whose color was SC
glaring that it would give a bull in
durable homicidal mania has departed
no more to return. Deep toned blues,
rich maroons, glossy blacks, green's,
vague rich shadings beyond classifica-
ton, furnish the co1ors for the car
of today. Wire wheels, the new wri,l-
kle of the cars two years ago, are at
tanning a certain popularity, nearly
one-third of the entries being thus
equipped.
The four passenger roadster was
probably the chief interest of the
crowd. Whether it is due to the fact
that Roosevelt families are no longer
popular or not, unquestionably the
model has come to stay. Many deal
ers, owing to lack of floor space, were
unable to exhibit these models.
The enthusiasm displayed by the
crowd at the daily parades preceding
the races and the horse show, was
hardly less than the interest in the
events themselves.
The low priced car classified as the
farmers car" while attracting much
of the visitors attention. did not
hinder the fact that visiting agricul-
turists were =. grouped three deep
around the five or six higher priced
machines. Several sales of high
priced cars to agriculturists' are re-
ported by the dealers. The good
roads movement in Kansas is making
the pleasure car steadily more popu-
lar with Kansas folks.
Several good displays were made by
oil dealers and auto supply companies
of the efficiency of the modern motor
automobile dealer. When Lou j.
company, of Omaha, Neb.. one Thurs
day noon recently, received rush
order for Cole 8 car to be delivered
in Chadron, Neb., 637 miles away, he
did not stop to think of roads which
were simply COW trails; bridges that
were merely planked crossings over
deep ravines and markings that were
simply buffalo grass, which faded
away as the journey continued. On
the other hand. with full confidence
in the Cole product, which is manu-
featured by the Cole Motor company,
of Indianapolis, he started out to fill
the order. And he delivered the car
on time.

most gratifying. Almost without ex-
eeption, the dealers have placed or

which speaks better for the reception
the car has had from the men in the
field than anything 1 might say.

opinion, is going to contribute to an

Labor Leaders Make Appeal
 to GOUernment to Avoid War

clared due to misunderstanding growing out of inadequate or incorrect informa- tion''
 The labor leaders announced that while they hoped to hold another conference at which the workers of the two countries should be more generally represented, they had decided to postpone it until the present crisis had passed. The appeal signed by President Samuel Gompers, Sec- retary Frank Morrison, Treasurer John B. Lennon, and the eight vice presidents of the American Federation, and by C.. Loveira, Baltazar Pages, L. N. Morones, $. Gonzalo Garcia and Edmundo E. Mar tinez flor the organized workers of Mex ico,' says in part:
 Tt is an unavoidable conclusion that present differences between olfr countries are the result of misunderstanding grow ing out of inadequate or incorrect in- formation; that the unfortunate conse- quences of past relations between the United States and Mexico have formu- lated a national attitude that questions the good faith of our governments; that existing agencies and methods of reach ing an adjustment of these differences are unsuitable for dealing with these problems which are fundamentally hu- man problems; and that the relations be- tween our countries ought not to be di- rected in accordance with abstract stand ards of justice, but ought to be keenly sensitive and responsive to the human interests and moral forces.
 Therefore we, the representatives Of the organized workers, having the right to speak for all of the workers and in the interests of all of the people, urge upon our governments the appointment of a commission to be composed of high minded citizens, fully representative of our nations to consider differences that have brought our nations to the verge of war and to make such recommendations for adjustment as shall fitly express the highest ideals of the great rank and file of the citizenship of our two countries

WHAT HOUSEKEEPERS OF BIRMINGHAM GAN
 DO TO HELP THE TYPHOID FEVER SITUATION

en anything that came out of that box for my weight in gold. She marveled at my small appetite-and well she might, for never could I be induced to eat anything at her house if I was starving!
 Many people are boiling the drinking water since the typhoid scare started, !" she said interestedly T think this is a good plan, provided the vessels in which the water Is boiled are entirely sanitary and the vessels in which it is kept are also in good condition. Milk and water are two of the most pernicious means of spreading typhoid fever and the milkmen who do not keep their products in a san itary and healthy condition should be boycotted, along with the market men and grocery men.
 Another thing" she said, "a great deal of unwholesome food can be avoided by the housekeepers going to market them- selves and seeing the conditions, rather than telephoning. Many of us have fallen into the habit of doing all our marketing by telephone. l confess that I have, be- cause it is easier and when the weather is warm it very disagreeable to have to go down town and do your own market ing, but it pays in the long run, as I have found out. It is far better than a spell of typhoid fever, and if the housek eepers of Birmingham could only see as I have seen the conditions in some of the stalls and vegetable markets, I believe they would rise to the occasion and do their level best to help the authorities stop the spread of the dreadful disease that is threatening us."
 'Yes, I think the housekeepers of Bir- mingham can do more than anybody else to help the situation she said vehe- mently. T believe that they can demand cleanliness and sanitation in the market places and if they don't get such condi- tions they can stop patronizing those merchants and go to some one who will observe such conditions. I believe that they can keep clean ice boxes and clean milk pitchers, and cook only fresh veg etables and fresh meats and avoid those that are fly specked and unsanitary. l believe they can lay down the ten com mandments of health and in a large measure avert an epidemic of typoid fever"

6EVAT HAT can the housekeepers
 wv of Birmingham do to help
 the typhoid fever situa- tion?" I asked a woman yesterday, who is an excellent judge in such matters; woman who is noted for her clever ness in culinary affairs, and who pays great deal of attention to all things pertaining to pure food stuffs, sanitary conditions in market places, and other things that apply to judicious and healthful conditions of her family and her home.
 She answered very quickly:
 '"The first thing they can do is to pay more attention to the food prod ucts that they supply their tables with. I think the women of Birmingham should get together and make plan to patronize only those people who sell sanitary, wholesome food. 1 think that they should urge the marketmen and the grocerymen to keep their meats and vegetables covered and free from any taint that the venomous fly can carry Typhoid fever comes from lack of cleanliness as we all know, and the dissease is spread more by flies than other ways. If the groceryman lets his vegetables stay uncovered and exposed to every germ of uncleanliness that is in the air, how can we expect to avert the typhoid fever epidemic with which we are theatened, if the housekeepers don't try to stop it?'
 "I believe that we more than any other class of people," she continued, q, +l,1 .t4 1e 1- For instance, I bought some raspber- ries the other day; when they were de- 1ivered they were not fit to eat; they were old and many of them spoiled; the boxes evidently had never been cov- cred and l found several dead flies among the berries.
