Six sons Of J. H. McShane, Of
Omaha, have enlisted and President
Wilson has written the father:
MAY not turn away from the du-
ties Of the day for a moment to ex-
press my admiration for the action Of
your six sons in enlisting in the SER
vice Of the country. They are making
and through them you are making a
very noble contribution to the fine
story Of patriotism and loyalty which
has always run through the pages Of
American history"

ALL GUESS WRONG AT TIMES

takes IN Their Investments and
Never See Their Money Again.

Four trust companies Of Philadel-
phia have in their care as trusts
S750,0OO,000. 1t was put there BY
men and women who accumulated
all that wealth.
Did the makers Of this three-quar-
tiers Of a billion dollars always guess
right? Not if what vice president
of one Of those four banks told me is
true, writes Girard in tho Philadel-
phia Ledger.
eve never received an estate Of
more than S5O,O00," said he that
didn't have in it something worth
less. A large estate minus at least
one cat or dog is as rare as icicles
in July"
Had John d. Rockefeller put the
millions that he spent in Colorado
Fuel in a savings bank he would
have made a bigger return on his
money. Guessed wrong.
Had H. n. Rogers, the day he laid
out his tens of millions to build the
Virginian railroad, purchased Stand
ard Oil stock instead--he was vice
president of that company at that
time-his estates capital today
would be multiplied by three.
Guessed wrong.
In his lockbox, when Morgan died,
we're many thousand shares of stock
that had no market value. Guessed
wrong.
Yes, indeed, the rich and brainy
as well as the poor dub often stakes

money, even to kiss it good-by.
Moral: He is a spineless man who
ence in while cannot take kick as
well as a pot of gold at the end Of q
rainbow.

WHY HAND-RAILs ON srAIRsf

The majority of us, subconscious-
ly, no doubt, have come to look upon
handrails on stairways as a conven-
tional decoration-a sort of finishing
off, as it we're. Yet last year 1,149
people were killed and more than
1000 crippled in the United States
alone, on stairways. High heels and
rundown heels are largely re-
sponsible for stairway accidents,
as well as trailing skirts. But
in almost every instance the
use of the hardrail could have
saved the victims of last years
stairway casualties. Handrails arc
intended for use, and accordingly
should be firmly grasped when going
down stairs, no matter how conf
dent one may be.-Scientifc Ameri-
can.
