Frat Aid For Painters.

Every member Of the Washington po-
lice force carries when on duty In
crowds a pill box full Of tiny glass
tubes of aromatic spirits Of ammonia.
according to the Popular Science
Monthly. These are for reviving per.
sons who faint In the street.
The tubes are about an inch long and
slightly more than an eighth Of an inch
In diameter. Each has a wrapping of
absorbent cotton and over this a silk
gauze covering.
Slight pressure between the fingers
Ia sufficient to break the tube. The
ammonia is promptly absorbed by the
cotton about 1t, which also serves to
prevent the sharp particles Of glass
from doing any harm. Held beneath
the nose Of the person who has tainted,
the fumes of the ammonia soon revive
her The tubes are stored In all the
patrol boxes about the city and are
carried In patrol wagons and police
ambulances.

Speculation and Gambling.

1t has often been asked IL a man can
speculate in the stock market without
any one losing in the event Of his max.
ing a profit.
On the floor Of the New York Stock
Exchange l once traced 100 shares Of
Steel that passed through the hands
Of nineteen spectators In a single day.
Each one OF these nineteen bought and
sold them. and each one made money.
II Is idle to say that some Of these
may have lost what they might have
made. because that involves us in a
double hypothesis. Actually each one
profited. and actualities are what count
in speculation as in every other form
Of legitimate business.
This incident illustrates one of seven
reasons why speculation Is not gam.

Death WARNING.

Oliver Wendell Holmes recorded his
protest against the custom Of telling a
person who does not actually ask to
know that he cannot recover. As that
loving observer Of mankind asserted, 30
aug. every one who knows whereof he
speaks assert that people almost al
ways come to understand that recov-
cry is impossible. 1t Is rarely need
full to tell any one that this Is the case.
When nature gives the warning death
appears to be as little feared as sleep.

folks back home began calling our
troops "Sammles," but the French have

Brakeman George Polar discovered
the men in the box car and ordered
them off the train. Instead one of
them sprang at him with knife. He
was too quick for his assailant and
slammed the car door shut. Then he
called for an officer Charles Sum

with their hands in the air until Sher-

BUENOS AIRES Argentine it ap-

Germany and the United States at any
time. The 'suhma1ining of the Ar

caused a crisis. Public sentiment here
is strongly in favor Of following Bra

Brazil is no longer a neutral in the
world war. and the German empire
has another enemy arrayed against it.
Having previously revoked its poll
icy OF aloofness. so far as it affected
the hostilities between the United
States and Germany, BRAZIL now has
announced that it can no longer be
considered neutral.
Although no announcement has
been made as to whether the South

Premier OF England Serves Notice on
Prussians That Their Days
Are Numbered

GLASGOW, Scotland - Peace can
come only when the allies have at
tanned their aims and have their OBJ
jectives guaranteed, Premier Lloyd
George declared here today. Peace
before victory ne added, would be
the greatest disaster IN the history of
mankind In the course of his state
ment Lloyd George declared:
"Indemnities constitute an essential
part of the mechanism of civilization
everywhere. without them we have
nc guarantee against the repetition of
the outrages of the present war in
other wars. The characterization of
Germany is the best guarantee of
peace We would negotiate in diff
'ferent spirit and with less suspicion
than with the present aggressive and
arrogant Prussian militarism.
Peace must be guaranteed by the
destruction of the Prussian military
power so that the confidence of the
German people will repose in equity
and not in military might
The premier said a great interna-
tional peace conference would decide
the disposition Of the former German
colonies. Great cheers interrupted
tie speaker when he declared that the
United States, always the champion
of freedom, had landed her valiant
soldiers in France.

possession was found a quantity of

identified by T. B. Jones of the Pot
latch Lumber company, who was in
the city, as having been stolen from
Camp No. s, the machine shop of the
Potlatch Lumber company, near Bo-
will Just what the men proposed to
do with the stuff is not known. 1t was
not of sufficient value to justify them
in carrying it.

SHUTS OFF
MUCH WORK
Butte Suffers from Ef=

$1,000 Men
TRY HARD TO SETTLE IT
Most of the Men Strike in sympathy
With the Montana Power COM
pany Electricians.

TE-International unions affil-
lated with the American Federation of
Labor began an effort Thursday to
settle a part of the labor troubles of
Butte, caused by the recently organized
metal mine workers union declaring
a strike on the mining companies for
higher pay and different working con-
ditions and the strike of the electric
ians on the Montana Power company
for higher pay and a demand that the
mining companies induce the power
company to grant the electricians de-
mands and also recognize the metal
workers union.
Some Sympathy Strikers.
Since the electricians struck. the
boiler makers, machinists and black
smiths employed by the mining COM
panies and the mill and smeltermen
of the reduction mills have struck in
sympathy. 1t is stated by the mining
companies that $4,000 men are out of
employment here because of the
strikes.
With the international officers exert
ing their influence to bring an end
to the strikes, it was said the situation
here has taken a more hopeful aspect.
None of the strikes, it was stated by
one labor leader, has the sanction of
the American Federation of Labor.
Comes to Advise.
]. Taylor of Seattle, organizer for the |
International union of machinists, one |
If the national officers here, said that |
le is here as an adviser and is not
tempting to dictate to the local union.
Through his efforts the machinists and
lectricians conferred to-day and it is
eported that the discussion was along
he lines of resumption of negotiations
etween the electricians and the Mon
ana Power company.
With the exception of the metal
liners strike, all are based on the
lectricians and if the electricians
-rike is settled the sympathetic strikes
is expected, will be called off.
