Iron is absolutely necessary to enable

You don't get the strength out of it, and

Charles M. Schwab says =

Once I wrote to Mr.. Carnegie about
a railmill which we had designed at
Braddock. and announced enthusi-
astically that when the mill was COM
pleted 1t would roll over a thousand
tons of rails a day.
81 see no objection to the amount
of money you want to spend" Mr..
Carnegie wrote back, but 1 want to
exact one promise from you, that you
will never tell anyone we were fool
ish enough to suppose that this coun-
try would ever require a mill to make
one thousand tons of rails day."
Now, think of us. after this short
time, making twelve thousand to If
teen thousand tons of steel rails a
day!
In 1886 it fell to my lot to roll the
first steel girder that ever went into
skyscraper. At that time the busi-
ness promised little. But to-day more
than FIVE million tons of steel are used
annually for buildings. In 1901 /
built the first steel railway car: now
more than five million tons of steel
year are used for that purpose.

German to a German

The President already has referred
publicly to the German plots tha.
were carried on in the United States.
a German is on trial to-day, charged
by the government with the possess
sion of large fund which he used
for unlawful purposes. In the current
issue of the Saturday Evening Post
Il. r. Wood, writing on the British
censorship, reproduces one of the let
ters held up in England, written by a
German in New York to a friend in
Germany, in which this passage oc-
ours:

small sample bomb-it is not loaded
the sort we are now making; much
smaller, but also much more effective
than the larger ones, and easier to
manipulate and place. 1t is the sort
with which we sank the fifteen hun
dred horses and the six hundred war
automobiles here on the so-called
North River, near New York, short
time ago. We might already have de-
stroyed the Canadian Canal, but the
affair was betrayed. Mr.. Bernstorff,
the ambassador in Washington, has
sent us word to lie low for a time
until the excitement dies down, and
then to go to work again. We have
plenty of money, but it is a difficult
matter to know how and where to
buy materials"
The country has heard plenty of ru-

IF the buying public had a proper
conception of what advertising,
- used with skill, can do to bring
prices down. increase quality and
insure standard values. advertised
goods would be preferred to such an
extent that advertising would soon
do even more for the people than
it has done.
One of the purposes of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of the
World, in adopting the slogan "Ad-
vertising Lowers Cost of Distribu-
ton" for the great convention of
advertising men at st. Louis. June
8 to Z, was to get the public to
thinking about the power of adver-
tising to serve the buyer.
The manufacturer who advertises
can take smaller profit on each
sale he makes, yet make satisfac-
tory. profit in the end, simply be-
cause he makes so many more sales
through the fact he advertises.
AS one example. one of the great
packing houses, which has establish
ed every imaginable facility for
turning out a clean, standardized
product, we'll and safely packed, can
show that it's profit on each item
is a mere fraction or u cent, but in
the aggregate, of course, the profit is
satisfactory because of the large
number of such items sold.
The fact a concern does a large
business naturally makes it possible
to make larger investments in ex-
perimental work. Some of the big
advertisers maintain engineering
and experimental departments
looking. always. toward the possible
improvement of the product-the
expense of which is often equal to
the whole expense of the operation
of some smaller plants, and yet the
expense is divided among such a
tremendously large number of items,
because of the large volume of busi-
ness, that each item carries but a
very small part of it-a part so
small that the difference is not no.

WE are now engaged as a ma
wv tion in the business of war
which involves every man,
woman and child in the country.
Our period of waiting is over. We
are now confronted with the serious
things which affect practically every
individual, high and low, rich and
poor. Burdensome taxation and all
that follows in the train of war must
be met with patriotic elf-sacrifice
and without regard to individual
opinion previously expressed or en-
tertained.
Whatever may have been the view
of any of us regarding the failure to
prepare for what is now upon us
matters little now. 1t is too late to
lament about what might have been
done; 1t is now the duty of everyone
to contribute his and her share to
the responsible work devolving upon
every community.

ing with it local committees in every

Industry Must Go On
IChicapo News. /

In war times extreme measures
must be taken, If necessary, to meet
abnormal conditions and maintain
the safety of the nation. This applies
to industry no less than to the rails
ing, eouipping and training of arm
ed forces. 1t would be of little avail,
for example, to place an army in the
field if it's effectiveness were to be
paralyzed by strikes in the country's
manufacturing plants. Unless the
production of food, clothing and
other supplies continues unchecked,
the nations fighting forces must fail
to achieve victory.
The first essential to effective pro-
duction by a free people is substan-
tial justice-justice to workers and
Justice to capital. While war calls
for many and great sacrifices by all
the people, it does not require the
imposition of injustice upon any
person. Thus unhealthful working
conditions for labor and Gripping
taxation laid upon reasonable and
necessary profits alike are bound to
result disastrously to a nation bear
ing the terrible burdens of war. The
exercise of wisdom by lawmakers
and those who execute the laws is as
necessary as are skill and courage
to the soldiers at the fighting front.
Along with the exercise of sub
stantial justice, appeals to patriot
ism-which in it's best form is en-
| lightened self-interest expressed in
terms of humanity and progress
should suffice to keep all industries
at their highest rate oH production

The Colonel's Thousands


Some way should be found to take
advantage of the fine work which
colonel Roosevelt and his associates
nave done in securing offers of en-
ltstment from nearly two hundred
thousand men in every part of the
country, These are all of an age
which eXempts them from conscrip-
ton, but there is no doubt of their
physical ability to serve. Many of
them may have had little or no mill
tary experience, but that is equally
true of those who will be recruited by
the Government. 1t is not the purpose
OF Colonel Roosevelt to interfere in
any way with the Governments ar
rangements. He would not expect his
men to have preference over the regu-
lars or the National Guard if it were
desired to send these first to France.
But If transportation difficulties can
be solved II would be well worth
while to have such a body of men
training overseas for speedy work in
the trenches. They would learn much
more rapidly there than here. And
their very presence under such a
leader would create a measure of en-
thusiasm among the Allied troops
worth almost as much as anything
they could do in the way of fighting,
though in the case of men of their
type this would not be negligible.

ever is made to the increased cost
of keeping up separate administra-

there is no evidence of collision on

did the price might be higher in

Soon after the war in Europe
started, a great many manufacturers
were hard hit for reliable dyes. The
smaller ones had to do the best they
could. But one of the big adver-
tising hosiery companies, and one of
the large advertising paint compa-
nies found that it would not do to
trust to luck. They started dye
plants, employing chemists and in
stalling equipment, investing thou
sands and thousands of dollars.
BY the time the dyes on hand
were used up, these companies were
producing pigments of their own of
equal quality to those which they
had formerly imported. so that the
quality of their product was main
tanned.
