EAST BETHEL

This summer, more than ever before
automobilists run their cars through this
village at reckless speed. The accident
at North Royalton, three miles below
here, Sunday, could and undoubtedly
would have been avoided had not one of
the three cars engaged tried to round a
sharp bend at express train speed. Not
every auto so offends, but just enough
to render riding on the highways I'M
safe for anyone who ventures upon them.

These TIPS Will Cut Coal Bill.

American Magazine: If you want to
save coal never allow the house to get
so hot that you have to throw open the
windows and doors. Thermostats are
cheap these days They automatically
slow down the fire when the tempera
ture is rising to the uncomfortable
point. To get the most out of the heat
in coal, the house air should be chang
ed once an hour. Arrangements for
such a change should have been made
when the house was built. But If that
was overlooked when the house was
built. you can get the change of air in
several ways. My favorite plan is TO
have a child around the house. By con-
stantly running in and out. it is per
feet air regulator l do not believe in
getting this result by having loose win
dows. as we used to do on the farm. |
prefer tight windows. carefully weather
stripped. II that has not been arranged
for. or If the cost is too great, / find
that storm windows are relatively cheap.
Then. air slots which let in air when
you want il are good.

"YOU ARE OLD, KAISER WILLIAM

You are old, Kaiser William. the
Crown Prince said,

to his son,

mentioned before,
And you've boasted of conquest for
years.

Eut we'd better let go. now tha, things

And endeavor to get a new aoid."

wallowed in death.
And you haven't had nearly enough.
Still you talk about peace with a pal

Do you think that they'll fall for the
stuff?"

ed like a cinch.
And victory certain for us.
But now that we're finding ourselves
in a pinch.
The people are making a fuss"
You are old" said the youth. and you
speak about God.
And you treat Him almost as friend.
Don't YOU think He should heed your
imperial nod
And bring this affair to an end?"
I've answered three questions; be on

Said his father. restraining a sob:
You've only lost fourteen divisions to-
day:

TEUTONISM IN THE HOME

Perhaps the most dangerous persons
at large today-next to the active Ger
man spies and ploters-are the per
verted "intelectuals" and the religious
and political fanatics who find a me
dunn ~ expression in some of our ultra
modern periodicals. The Seven Arts
was a notable example of the pro
gressive" magazine working subtly In
the interest of the Germans. On spite
Of frantic editorial appeals for help II
failed to secure enough support to keer
goingJ Posing as medium of liberal
thought, It preached the sort of indi
vidualistic egotism which refuses pub
lie service and patriotic self-sacrifice
branding them as "nationalism." II
made use of the natural horror of ag
gressive warfare felt by every civilized
person, to condemn the defensive war
fare which is not only an international
duty today, but a sheer practical neces
sity. The Seven Arts was regular hot
house for this sort of intellectual fanati
csm,-if indeed ii should not be called
by a stronger name; and 1t was all the
more dangerous because Of the bril-
liant style and the logic of expression
III SbIflt VI It's dlliCitS
But at least. as in the case Of The
Masses, one knows where these writer's
are "at" II is unjust to The New Re
public, for example, to inquire whether
IL has been possible within the last
three years to know its exact policy
or whether IL had an exact policy? In
spite of its many sound editorials, II
seems frequently to make a virtue OF
mystification. Its views are a bit daZ
zlng, like black and white stripes.

books, which are handed to you with

was an estimate of the amount of work
ingmen's wages spent in one cannon
shot Perhaps the estimate was true
but the fact was left out that the can
non-shot was in defense Of things with
,out which the workingman could not
live. There was in it no thought of
the fate of the Belgian workingman
today!
All these utterances are pitfalls for
the masses who suffer the consequences
of war, and cannot perceive the grim
necessity of the struggle against evil
and also for many young eager minds
who confound fanaticism with idealism
Think of all this perverted sentiment
and then read such clear and appalling
statements of fact as Andre Cherad
ame's article on Pan-Germanism. Here
are fancies confronting facts; and such
facts. Here is the narrow logic OF
theory confronting the tremendous
logic of events. Behind this blind
obstructionism lies the sinister German
ideal; an ideal yet undefeated, relent
less, all-devouring, strengthened by the
aid of an immense body of willing vas
sails and subtle workers.

You owe II the same thing tnat every
other American in America owes 1t -

reason is this: Because every Ameri-
can in America is unit, small part
of the one big unit that is called the
government. Now this word allegiance,
remember, is a broad word; II Is about
the broadest word we know.

sometimes means an expenditure or
millions of men and billions OF dollars.
Our government has been most ler-

permitted us to do largely as we please.
