can say that the nation win return t"
the old and wasteful competitive sys-
tenn of every man for himself which
has resulted in the carrying OF Amer
lean commerce in foreign ships.
The railroad managers of the United
States are amazing themselves by the
things they can accomplish when they
are permitted TO work in complete
harmony for an unselfish yet definite
end. Under the stress of war, govern
ment control of munitions and food
and fuel industries has by virtue of
necessity had astonishing results
abroad and much the same results will
be seen here if the struggle last long
enough to force upon us the co-ordi-
nation of many competitive and hith-
erto mutually destructive agencies
From all this may not the country
learn lesson which will be of lasting
benefit in time of peace?

lives for others. In the fire traiEing
school the recruit is taught now TO
save his own life, and he is Taught
many other things besides Which
would astonish the average Iaynlan-
He must know building construction,
and he must learn certain special
things about chemicals Some fires
are only made worse by the appiica-
ton of water and instead must be
chemically treated.
To this technique of fire-fighting the
fireman also adds his physical
strength, mental agility and courage
Som times a life may be saved by the
| fraction of a second so that it is abso-
should think quickly. A few months
ago, for example, Richard Mangels of
| Hook -and-Ladder Company No. saw
! ed the lives of two men by his quick
thinking and sheer nerve. Scaling
| ladders had not been brought to the
scene when Mangels, looking over the
| roof of the burning building, beheld
| two men clinging precariously to the
top of the fifth-floor window shutter,
| imme dia tely beneath him. Standing
on the coping of the roof, the firema n
| braced a short wooden ladder found
on the roof against his legs and ex-
tended it out so that il rested against
| the shutter and wall of the building.
| Then with ether firemen holding him,
he held the ladder in this position by
| main strength long enough for he
lrescued men to ascend to the roof.
The physical strain of this act of en-
| durance was so severe that the fire
man afterwards tainted and for many
! days carried the imprint of the ladder
on his body
Mangels received a medal of honor
! for this act of bravery-a distinction
which is a great incentive to reckless
merit among the firemen. There are
thirteen medals of honor distributed
by the mayor each year.
Now that the harbor has been add
ed to the list of bad fire risks in New
| York the number of volunteer fire
men has increased enormously They
train just as the others do and per-
form the same sort of work, but they
receive no remuneration and if they
are killed their families inherit moth
ing but honor. 1t is rumored, how
ever, that the New York philanthro-
pists-of which there are an over
whelming number-are on the trai

TRAVELETTE

BY MIX SAB


Once a year the Pueblo Indians of
Taos, n. M, hold an election, at which
they choose a governor. The method
of voting is for each Indian to give
to his candidate stick. The man
with the most sticks is elected. After
ward a foot race and other games are
held to celebrate the event.
BY reason of this annual election,
the Taos Pueblos have been generally
given credit for maintaining repub-
lican form of government As mat
ter of fact, the real power back of the
governor is the cacique, who is an
hereditary monarch. He and the
chiefs appointed by him really rule
the Pueblo with a rod of iron. The

one wild timbered canyon. These
lands constitute in effect a tiny mon
archy on American soil. The amount
of land each Indian may cultivate is
determined by the administration.
Every evening the governor shouts
from the roof of the Pueblo instruc-
lions for the whole tribe. Not a stick
of timber may be cut. not even a root
dug. without his permission.
Not long ago lady living in the
nearby village of Taos asked Pueblo

that the time for digging amole had
not vet been announced, but that she
would try to get it.
1t was ten days later when she re-
turned, and she did not bring the
amole. She was pale and her face
showed the effects of suffering She
explained that she had been given
thirty lashes and ten days in jail for
digging amole root without the per-
mission of the governor.

LESSONS OF THE WAR.

i A certain amount cf state socialism,

utilities and industries; an acquies-
cence in state interference with privi-
leges of It's citizens. recognized as their
Individual rights: closer espionage of
cables and sources of public informa-
ton; tighter trade regulations and the
issue of government licenses; the sub
stitution of force for persuasion,
where persuasion alone proves insult
ficient; these are part of the price all
sorts and conditions of people are
called upon to pay when the national
defense demands the mastering of its
manhood and the conservation of it's
supplies.
How much of all this will remain
when the war has closed?
The placing by government edict OF
the 25 largest ship yards of the United
States under the control OF the federal

rector of the mint having estimated
the consumption for arts and indus

a total production in that year of
224, OOO,0 900 ounces. At present, ac-
cording to current reports, the coun-
tries at war are increasing materially
their coinage of silver. partly to take
the place of gold being withdrawn
from circulation for other purposes.
and in part to accompany the issues
OF non-metallic currency which have
been made necessary by the demands
of the war. Meantime. however, the
demands of the Orient are also appa-
rently increasing. since our own ex-
ports of silver to the Orient in the
fiscal year 1917 will probably aggre-
gate $16.0OO.O00 against approximate
ly 100000 in 1915 and $4,000, 600
