SPY SYSTEMS.
Warfare With Germany Means An
Unknown and Insideous Force
of Information Gatherers.

The elaborate working out of spy
systems in Europe is appalling to
the simple hearted and open Ameri-
can mind. These insidious ways-of
the old world are revolving to
our franker methods OF procedure.
Our secret service has been merely
a scheme for detecting crime.
Over in Europe it is a vast me-
chanism for securing military infor-
nation, influencing opinion in for
eign countries, stirring up strikes,
revolutions, and all kinds of trou-
bles for peoples regarded as hostile.
Our military position is no doubt I'M
derstood quite as we'll in Berlin as in
Washington.
Warfare with Germany means an
unknown and insidious force of in
formation gatherers and plotters
right among us. No one can know
where it is or whom it includes. A
great deal Of injustice will be done
on suspicion to many loyal German
Americans who are standing by their
adopted country.
But one can be sure also that some
things that look perfectly innocent
really mean mischief. The little tum-
BILE down shop in some back city al
ley where they apparently are turn
ing out some trifling industrial by
product, may be the place where
deadly bombs are being made for
some wholesale destruction.
A great many ridiculous errors
will be made. Engineers measuring
a lot, telephone and wire gangs To-
eating services, will be regarded by
some one as spies. The police will
come running breathless to question
them. But people who seem to be
taking observations and who are
lurking in places where their busi-
ness is not apparent and where they
might do damage, will have to be
watched
The United States will have to re-
sort to the measures long ago en-
forced abroad for the registration OF
aliens. There should be correct lists

A Daring Voyage.

The smallest boat to cross the At

by Captain Andrews. This craft was
but fourteen feet long, but in it Cap
tain Andrews crossed the ocean in
1891 landing at Palos, Spain. He
travelled about Europe exhibiting his
boat until the Worlds fair in Chi

Buyers Should Read Ads

Prices of commodities are in a
state Of iuctuation-mostly upward.
Housekeepers are compelled to give
more and more consideration to the
problem of buying to best advantage
than in period when prices are on
more stable basis.
OF course people are earning more
money-but not all. To great
number of housewives the increase
in cost Of some necessity presents an
ugly puzzle, but which must be
solved at once. Thus it happens
that readers of advertisements null
tiply in periods like the present-for
in the ads it is always possible to
find clues as to better buying oppor-
tunities, hints as to savings.
The merchant who, because of his
foresight or enterprise, is able to Of
fer economy-opportunit is in a po-
sitiol to win, in these days, a large
following of new customers. Store
competition never meant more to the
people than it means now-store SER
vice, including the fullest possible
protection against inflated prices on
necessities, will win for those mer
chants who extend it to their Gus
toners, permanent benefits and
greatly increased store prestige.
Wise merchants will understand
that conditions such as prevail now
in the matter of uncertain commodity
prices offer to them special opportu-
mites for real service-offer to them
chances to make their advertising of
very wide and general appeal and
value.
There has not been time in re-
cent years when the good store fac
ed such a favorable occasion as it
faces now.
A good resolution is the easiest
thing to forget.

who have been afflicted with 1t are
protected against a second attack"
Remarking that the lameness from
which Sir Walter Scott suffered was a
heritage Of infantile paralysis, DR..
Flexner continued:
Prior to 1906, this disease main
tanned an endemic home in north Eu-
rope. chiefly In Norway and Sweden.
Then something happened to change
this, the disease migrated, and not only
came to America but spread over Eu-
ropean countries which had. prior to
that time. been free from It. The pres
ent epidemic OF 1t is the first epidemic
that has circumnavigated the globe.
TO PREVENT TRANSMITS
TT is now possible to say" DR.. Flex-
ner concluded. that the disease is In
fictitious and contagious and is caused
by living micro organism. AS far as
the public health Is concerned, 1t is
better to know how q disease Is con-
veyed than to know It's cause. II we
know how 1t Is carried we can tell the
public, and they will cooperate to pre-
vent transmission.
The term infantile paralysis is a
misnomer 1t can appear without any
paralysis whatever resulting, and dur
ing the recent epidemic in New York
more had the disease and were not
psralyzed than had 1t and were para
lyzed.''
