 Except Life, Doing Business Here

 Upon careful weighing of the evil dence submitted, I have reached the conclusion that the safety of the United States requires that enemy and ally of enemy marine, fire and casualty insurance companies shall not be allowed to do business as go- ing concerns The consideration of safety is so important as to render it unnecessary to determine at this time whether this action is also demanded by other. considerations incident to the successful prosecution of the war.

of Wood Ashes

A Topeka negro who lives out near
the baseball grounds tells the prize
bone-dry' story today.
This negro is home-loVing sort
and in his years of hard labor he has
collected enough money to build a big
stone fireplace in his humble home
giving it cheer and comfort
After his working hours this negro
gathers wood and in this way keeps
the family warm and prolongs the
sparkle in his home-like living room
Sunday morning it was rather chilly
in the house and the negro piled wood
in the CRATE and started a blaze The
smoke swooped down upon the neigh
borhood and gave a real Adirondack
odor.
A knock was heard at the door.
When the door was opened another
negro-an old Southerner and neigh
bor-entered. He shifted, his eyes
glistened as he beheld the glowing
fireplace and walking over to the host
he whispered:
Does you all hab any of dose wood
ashes around heah?''
You bet was the answer Lots
of 'em. How much do you want?"
Just a wee teaspoonful," came the
reply.
"A teaspoonful-and what for?"
well you see,'' the aged colored
man replied in a confidential man.
