A FRIEND.

II he'll give his heart and his brains
TO you
And do whatever you ask him to;
He's a friend.
When he's really glad to see you win,
And to help you along he'll even sin;
He's a friend.
II he's grateful for the thoughts you
give
And tries to better the life you live;
He's a friend.
II you can tell i'm ev'ry thing you
know,
And not tell the world by doing so;
He's a friend.
II you have a friend; or maybe two,
You meet success in the things you
do;
Get a friend.
But to pull this stunt there's just
one trick,
Find the fellow you want and by him
stick;
BE A FRIEND.

The Shipping Row Again.

II George w. Goethals only knew
how much prestige to has lost by in
dulging in autocratic ofishness since
coming to Washington, and IL Will
liam Denman only realized how large
his defects show in the current wran-
Cling. they would cease their petty
pickering and get down to business.
Both men are to blame. Gen.
Goethals has tried his Panama Canal
methods-in- which he exercised an
absolute dictatorship-in Washington
and has found that they don't work.
He ought to be big enough to throw
them aside and work in harness. Mr..
Denman ought to know that il he
harbors any personal animosity to-
ward Goethals because Of the latter's
orusque assumption of authority, he
ought to pocket it.
The country wants ships with the
least possible delay. OF course, that
doesn't mean that we are to rush
pell-mell into every haphazard, i'm
mature scheme that presents itself.
II the majority OF experts doubt the
feasibility OF both the Hough and the
composite" designs, the country is
willing to see them thrust aside and
to have all concentration of energy
on the steel ship program. But the
constant pulling back and forth, the
wrangling. the exploitation of person.
al spite, are creating doubts as to
the real measure of both Goethals and
Denman in the emergency.
Gen. Goethals has been at no pains to
conceal his light regard for Mr.. Dem
man. He has perslstently tried to
sidetrack him, and ought to know by
this time that It can't be done. II
the chairman of the Shipping Board
Is an incompetent, that fact will in
evitably reveal itself without the con-
slant venting of personal prejudice by
the ex-hero OF the Panama Canal.
Does Gen. Goethals actually think it
is helping him to gain public conf
dence by kicking Mr.. Denman when
ever he gets the chance? II so, he is
just beginning to find out the vast
difference between military authority
and civilian authority.
Mr.. Denman, whatever his faults, is
merely asserting the indisputabIe
rights of the Shipping Board in the
current controversy. He was thrust
into his present place through an un-
fortunate combination of circum-
stances. He Is not a shipping expert,
but an admiralty lawyer; but Gen.
Goethals has learned about all he
knew regarding ships since he was
summoned to Washington by the Pres
ident. He was chosen because OF his
great reputation as an executive, not
because he was an authority on ship
ping. For that reason the country
expected that Gen. Goethals would
not take large part in the framing
OF the ship5uilding program, but
would be given sole and complete
authority over the execution of It.

No Scandal in the Draft.

There ought to be no scope for Sec
tionalism in the coming draft, and
the prospective probe by the senate
into the determination Of the quotas
| viii show nothing IN the way Of IA
voritism for one portion Of the coun-
try at the expense Of another.
A hue and cry has been raised be-
cause Of the alleged padding Of the
census estimates for Northern cities,
uron which the quotas were deter
mined. 1t is significantly pointed out
that the Census Bureau figures for all
Of the Southern cities bear some rec
cgnizable resemblance to their actual
population. whereas in the North they
are most absurdly exaggerated. Can
ton. Ohio. for instance. is credited
with a population OF $4,000. whereas
1t has not 40 per cent of that number;
Detroit. with 100000. or three times
its population in 1910; New York is
given nearly 100000 more than its
actual population.
Certain reasons are assigned for
these curious arithmetical calcula-
tions. One is that the percentage Of
young men in proportion to urban
population Is much greater in the
North than in the South. A greater
percentage OF the rural-born stay on
the farm in Dixieland than in the
great industrial States. There is a
more even. stable distribution Of the
strata OF population in the South than
in the North-the ratio of men within
the conscription ages to the total
male population doubtless does not
vary greatly between the cities and
the rural districts.
In the North it is different. A great
manufacturing city like Detroit, for
instance. has a huge population of
young men, mechanics. engineers,
skilled laborers, ETC., whereas country
districts in the vicinity of Detroit are
practically denuded of young men.
luC CSllIhdltus OF lHtOEtll-
cal. population OF Detroit. upon which
the quota was based. bears a much
higher percentage to the population
Of Michigan than it does in reality.
Because Of the very scarcity of agri-
cultural labor in such states as Michi-
gan. which is not in the harvest belt.
the number OF occupational exemp-
tions is bound to be very large. and
the cities probably will have to bear
There is another element to be con-
sidered. In the South there Is prac-
tically no alien population. In the
great Northern centers a large per-
centage of the population is alien.
not including those who have taken
out their first naturalization papers.
All Of these are exempt from the
draft, yet all Of them have registered.
Naturally some differential calcula-
tions have to be made because Of this
condition.
1t is obvious that conscription con-
tains some knotty problems. and be-
cause OF its sheer compIexity it will
be impossible to exact justice to all
communities. since the estimates, ap-
piled impartially to all sections. must
go far astray in some cases. Already
there are many mutterings of dis
content because aliens and the semi
naturalized are to be exempted. 1t is
doubtful to see how this condition is
to be remedied. Indeed, the foreign
language press goes farther than that:
it asks that all Americans of German
blood or birth be considered exempt.

Married Happiness

Doctors claim a man or woman with
a strong nervous system has complete
control Of happiness.
It is only those who are played out
by overwork, worry, excuses, and
thoughtless dissipation that are quar-
relsome and disappointed In life. Do
not condemn them, their nerves. are
starved, they are depleted of life and
energy and no thought is given to
supply them with food nerve energy
to make them calm, strong and con-
trolable.
The foolish waste of nerve force
turns cheerful happy person to the
crouch that accounts for SO many
separations.
Nature requires aid and Phosphat-
ed Iron is necessary in such conditions
of nervousness, because 1t contains

INFlRMARY VALUE
MOUNTS S7,451
IN LAST QUARTER
Total Value Of the Personal
Property Is $2o,636-Petro
Files Report.

Increase in the value of the Wayne
county infirmary amounting to $7,451
in the last quarter was shown in the
report of the inventory of the infirm-
airy made by the county commission
ers Tuesday. The total value of the
personal property at the infrmary is
given at s20,636.
Since Superintendent Petro has
been in charge of the infirmary, which
has been since March, 1914, the total
value of the personal property has in
creased almost $4,000. This great
increase has been due largely to the
increase in the value of livestock and
grain that has been raised at the farm
although the efficient mana cement Of
Superintendent is cited in the report
as contributing to the increase.
