DRAMA IN HUMBLE HOMES
iRomance seckons to PIaywrights
From Two.Story Dwellings, as Ono
Writer Has Pointed Out.

A big city ought to have big Heart
fOr all Its little homes. There they
stand, their own argument, two stories
high, row upon row, block after block.
Two young people came and started
housekeeping. Rainbows bridge the
little space from the kitchen range to
fhe potted ferns in the parlor window.
From the sidewalk you could see most
of the wedding presents. Gilt frames
there were, with pictures Of a kind, a
table Of barber shop onyx, piano all

poke fun at the painted globe Of the

Who shall write the drama and the
romance Of three meals day, Of wash
ing and ironing, of babies crying and
.chuckling, of children going to school
land bringing home their maltreated
arithmetics and their strange tales Of
dehumanized teachers7 Who shall find
a novel between the shiny brown
covers Of the little account book that
travels so often to the corner grocery
and the meat market, and who shall
read between the lines parental trepi-
dation over the rising prices and more
mouths to fill?

cause he cannot go with them.
Out into the street mother love trav-

Of her If only her dreams come true

Coal Dust for Fuel.

Spurred on by prospects Of shut
downs during the winter because Of
the shortage Of gas, manufacturers in
the Pittsburgh district have been con.
,Nucting experiments with coal dust,
which, they assert, prove that the dust
can be substituted for gas. The pro-
cess is to blow the crushed coal into
the open-hearth furnaces by means of
compressed air.
This fuel, although not as cheap as
natural gas, !s being Furnished 10 Inan-
ufacturing plants of the Pittsburgh
district considerably cheaper than con.
Bumers' gas.

dng that there will be shortage Of
natural gas for manufacturing pur-

New Stamp Issues.

The number Of new issues in the
stamp kingdom have kept earnest col
lectors on the alert ever since the war
began. The British empire, with it's
numerous colonies, has issued count
less varieties Of surchargcd and new
additions. Even Turkey has issued
a new set Of five stamps to mark an
Occupation Of part of Egypt"
\ In Warsaw was what is known as
the Citizens Post, and the Germans
have suppressed the issues of their
stamps. AS n consequence, these
labels are very rare; 1t Is Illegal to
sell them in Germany, and they are re-
Igarded as of enemy origin in France,
England, Russia and Italy, and con-
sequently 1t is illegal to import them.

Is a fearful curse. Twice we have
voted prohibition and the will Of the
people should no longer be disregard
ed. Give us prohibition and then let
the law be rigidly enforced. We can
not afford to take neutral position
upon a question Of such vital import
ance as that of prohibition. We should
not entertain the thought for a mo-
ment Of compromising with such a
monstrous evil as intemperance. Our
duty Is plain in the matter. The pow
erty, ignorance, humiliation and deg
relation entailed upon the wives and
children of those in the clutches of
the demon-"King Alcohol" is pitiable
In the extreme and we should do all
In our power to protect them. Let US
