Snapshots Of Kaleidoscope Work.
In all the big cities in France where
our men pass through In large num-
bers. the Y. M. C. A. is operating
hostels. where they can get beds and
meals at a minimum cost In London
the American Y. M. G. A. mas erected
q large building for our soldiers and q
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. M. CA dugouts right
behind the front line trenches. where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over 1000 men who had been reject
ed ON account of physical disability
have been able to get into the British
army by reason of the physical work
Of the British Y. M. c. A.
A feet OF motor cars leaves The big
Y. M. C. A. headquarters in London at
midnight every night to pick up SOL
diers who are wandering about the
streets without any wholesome lodging
In which to spend the night. These
cars gre operated by Engllshwomen
of position and refinement. who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands of the soldiers. The i'm
portance OF this service can be esti-
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave In London every
week Over half of these sleep In Y.

SOME THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

That 80 per cent Of the wives and
mothers of workingmen are forced to
work to keep the wolf from the door.
That $500 per year is the income of
half the wage-earning fathers.
That less than SIS per week is the
wage of two-thirds of the adult male
workers.
That nearly half the women workers
earn less than Sc a week.
That three or more persons occupy
every sleeping room in 81 per cent
of the workers homes.
That babies of the poor die three
times as fast as those of the rich.
That nearly 20 per cent of the school
children of this country are underfed
and undernourished.
That economic pressure forces two
thirds of all children to leave grammar
school before graduating and only 10
per cent finish high school.
That workers in the basic industries
are out of jobs one-fifth of the time.
That there are forty-four families
in the United States with incomes
equal to 100000 workingmen.
That industrial conditions are re-

bors after midnight. Most of the
houses are dark and silent-and most
of the people are at peace. But here
and there will be found home that is
illuminated, or partly illuminated.
Generally there is sickness in such a
home. There is trouble of some kind
as general proposition, unless there
is being a party held. And if there is
an entertainment or party in home,
pass it by; that is not what you are
looking for on your tour of observa-
ton.
You will be surprised how far you
can hear sounds at night. You are in
residence portion of the city, far
from the railway lines. But you can
hear the engines putting, and the
grinding wheels of the freight that is
groaning along seems just around the
corner. You hear the bell of a train
away out in the country, and your
heels strike the hard pavements with
such force you are startled and Won
der if you will not awaken the sleep
ers in the homes. But there is no
danger of that; the ear becomes ac-
customed to such sounds and the
sleeper is not disturbed. But it isn't
of any use to attempt to describe it;

AFTER MIDNIGHT

Have you ever taken stroll thru
the city after midnight? Then, if you
have not, you have missed much. Of
course you have had occasion to pass
along the streets, on your way home,
after that hour; but that is not the
thing. A little tour of observation,
just as you would walk thru a city
during the day-that's the thing-a
city by day and a city by night. Both
are worth studying.
You meet few people as you tour the
city after midnight, and that is an
advantage to one who wants to feel
the spirit of the place, if that is the
way to express it. To be alone and
unobserved; to have the world to look
at instead of human beings; to know
that you are not in the way and that
few are in your way-that gets the
spirit of the night into the blood
There is a weirdness about the city
after midnight that is enchanting.
The buildings assume a different as
pect than of the day. They do not
appear of the same proportion. The
skyline is more charming. The dark,
dull smokestacks, the irregular roofs,
the ragged looking row of houses-all
these things seem strange and un-
canny, but not unpleasant.
Then, you can understand the neigh

MOLES-A STUDY
By MAY MON
In San Francisco Organized Labor.

There are seven big, fresh mounds
on the lawn. A mole has been at work
during the night and made a tunnel
from the corner of the garlic bed in
the garden, diagonally across the lawn,
which is used as a croquet court. 1t
has ruined the lawn and spoiled the
croquet court.
To the mole the mounds it has
made over night must look as big as
Mt. Shasta or Mt. Whitney do to the
human eye. This row of mole hills
grow on the vision like the Sierras and
the granite walls of the Yosemite val
ley. But moles cannot see very well.
Their eyelids are nearly always closed,
covering the minute eyes. Their little
ears are hidden close to the broad
skull in short, soft fur.
The star-nosed mole of North Amer
lea (Condylura Macrura), is so named
from the star or fringe-like nasal
cartilages.
The European mole has a slender
snout, strong and tendinous.
Moles are insectivorous animals and
belong to the Talpida family of the
genus Falpa. They have very short
and very strong fore legs which are
excellently developed by constant and
continuous burrowing in the ground.
They are very energetic engineers
steam shovels and work crews all in
one little body of five or six inches.
Moles build their lairs or fortresses
in the ground; they usually select a
protected place like bank or the root
of tree. In the center of the fort
ress they build their nest out of soft
dry grass and around the fortress
runs tiers of galleries which the moles
patrol, backwards and forwards, sew
eral times a day. From these galleries
they construct about half dozen high
ways in different directions, leading
from the fortress. The walls of the
galleries and the highways or pas
sages, which are a little larger than
the cylindrical shaped body of the
animal, present hard, smooth and
finished surface. The large shovel
shaped palms are normally directed
outwards.
1t is difficult to observe the habits
of moles because they retire to their
fortresses at least approach of danger,
and if their galleries are disturbed,
they escape thru one of the many diff
ferent highways. Altho very cautious
they may be trapped in their galleries.
They may also be drowned out as they
take quite naturally to water. But
chasing them in the ground is an all
most fruitless task because they bur-
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

row thru 1t about as 1aSt as person
can walk.
Moles are very voracious. They are
great flesh eaters and shun vegetables.
If they are without food, it is claimed,
they die in a period of twelve hours.
Two moles in captivity have been OBJ
served, when maddened by hunger, to
attack and eat one another, the weaker
succumbing to the stronger. Earth
worms are their usual diet.
Mother is trying to kill the moles
by gopher poison, but she will not sue
coed because the moles do not eat
grain. They might be exterminated
from the lawn by earth worms, soaked
in solution of arsenic, deposited I'M
derneath the mole hills.
would like to catch some live moles
and l am trying to bait them with an
angle worm on a fish hook, fastened
to a copper wire and tied to a salmon
line. 1t is said that they come out at
high noon, and as it is now twelve
o'clock 1 am patiently watching the
line.
We caught the mole at 1910 p. M,
but not with the fish hook. 1t came
out all right on the hour and made
turn passage by playing the water
hose into it, and my father caught it
with the garden hoe and killed it.
We examined it thoroly and it is
lust as described, only it has short,
funny hairless tail. 1t has powerful
hind legs and paws, and its little
month has sharp teeth like needles.
Its round body is perfectly developed
for its natural mode of living. That
mole will never get back to its fort
ress, because we put it in small
fruit jar filled with alcohol, feel
sorry for the mole family, but glad
for the lawn.
Men are in some respects like moles.
They also dig in the ground and build
hills, which they call cities, wharves
and piers which they call "moles,"
like the Oakland Mole Men also
build Notifications for the protection
of their homes.
Men eat one another, not literally,
but just as much in fact, in commerce,
industry and trade. Even in the fra
ternal organizations, labor unions.
churches, schools and societies, men
and women eat one another with envy,
hate and jealousy.
Whole nations kill one another with
explosives and starvation. This whole
sale killing is called Civilized war
fare"
Moles are not so civilized as men,
but no scientific observer has ever
noted that moles indulge in wholesale
murder of their own kind. Only civ
ilized people with big brains do that.
Moles have not got much brains. Pos
sibly that is why they stick their
snouts out of the ground at high noon
and get it in the neck, like soldiers in
the trenches when they bob their heads
above the banks as we read about in
the newspapers.
Physically, mems bodies are not as
perfectly developed, according to their
natural standard, as moles are. Men
do not live naturally. Moles do.
Altho they must dig and hunt for
their food, moles seem to live happy
and energetic life. They often get
killed when they seek the sunlight.
Men, too, ofttimes get killed in the
artificial lime light.
When l try to think, often wonder
if men sometimes were blind moles,
and, if the moles will ever open their
eyes and see.

Mr.. Zeuch at the First
Presbyterian church, following with
the opportunity Of hearing Lima
Cavalieri and Lucien Muratore in re-
cital at the Auditorium, Wednesday,
with another season Of opera, Cali
Cruel and at least one local recital,
the musical contingent will again be
plunged into a sea Of harmony, with
but scant time to rise to the surface
for an occasional breath. The con-
certs this year have been not only
numerous, but exceptionally high
class, and the coming concerts, and
opera company are maintaining the
standard. Those OF us who heard the
Boston Opera company last year, re-
member the fine artists and ensemble,
which they maintained, and the little
Japanese artist, who made such a
Charming Madame Butterfly. The
most important event OF lasting
worth to Omaha is the dedication OF
the new organ in the First Pres
byterian church Tuesday evening.
This organ will be beyond doubt the
finest which has ever come to its
home in Omaha, and nothing APP

reputation as an organist and there
are many music lovers who are an

Makers of school biographies, who
tell us that a certain state is noted
for its agriculture, and another for
its fisheries, might add to their text
books the statement that there is
greater patronage for grand opera
west than east of the Mississippi, &C
cording to a recent interview given
to a California newspaper man by
Max Rabinoff, managing director of
the Boston National Grand Opera
company. This organization recently
finished an engagement in Los An
geles, attended by seven of the iarg-
est audiences ever assembled in that
city for operate performances, and
at last reports was repeating this rec
ord in San Francisco. 1t will pay
short visits to Portland, Seattle, Salt
Lake City and Denver on the way
east. The Omaha engagement is set
for Tuesday and Wednesday, March

warmly received and appreciated in
the east, its greater success in the
west is probably due to the fact that
this part Of the country has not been
surfeited," said Mr.. Rabinoff. ~"The
presentations of grand opera and
other music Of the better sort seem
to be less frequent and more evenly
distributed throughout the year in
the western than in eastern states"
The schedule for the Omaha season
includes Puccini's "Tosca" Monday
night, with Giovanni Zenatello, Tulsa
