THE Son of His Father" introduces
Charles Ray as the son of a million
aire railroad magnate. The boy has
developed such spendthrift tendencies
that his father demonstrates. The
boy replies that he can easily prove
the possession of business talents re-
sembling those of his father, and ADDS
that with start of five thousand dol
lars he could make one hundred
thousand dollars in six months.
This Is largely a bluff on the boys
part, however, but the father calls
the bluff. He writes a check for five
thousand, and tells him to go to it
and prove that he has inherited the
business acumen that has made the
father an imposing figure in the world
of finance. which he does with sur
prising results.

Winant avenue were much stirred up
last night when the residence of John
Poth, In Winant avenue, that has
been closed during the winter, was
found with every light turned on in

that burglars had entered the house.
An effort was made to reach Mr.. Poth
at his homo in Manhattan by tele-
phone and It was not until O'Clock
this morning that Patrolman Clarius
cleared the mystery.
1t was found that the caretaker.
John Zhapes, who resides in the for

A NIGHT Of Dissipation.

During the first two days l spent
with Huyliger after l had first arrived
in the big city, he had told me, among
other things. of a moving picture show
in town which he said l might have a
chance to see while there.
ut Is free every night in the week
except Saturdays and Sundays" he
said. land once you are inside you
would not be apt to be bothered by
anyone except when they come to take
our order for something to drink.
While there is no admission, patrons
are expected to eat or drink while en-
joying the pictures"
A day or two later. while walking
the streets at night In search for food,
l had passed this place and was very
much tempted to go in and spend a
few hours. particularly as it would

took off my shoes and crept softly
and slowly to the cellar steps and then
step by step, placing my weight down
gradually so as to prevent the steps
from ~creaking, 81 climbed to the top.
The sight that met my eyes as l
glanced into the kitchen told me the
whole story. The water faucets had
been ripped from the sinks. the water
pipes haveing been torn of, and
gas fixtures. cooking utensils and
everything else which contained even
the smallest proportion Of the metals
the Germans so badly needed had been
stairs now with more confidence, feel
ing tolerably assured that the soldiers
hadn't been after me at all, but had
been merely collecting metal and
other materials which they expected
an elaborate dwelling house like the
one in which was concealed to yield.
Later | heard that the Germans have
taken practically every Ounce of brass,
copper and wool they could lay their
hands on in Belgium. Even the brass
out of pianos has been ruthlessly re-
moved. the serious damage done to
valuable property by the removal of
only an insignificant proportion of
metal never being taken into consid-
Grafton. | learned. too, that all dogs
over fourteen inches high had been
seized by the Germans. This furnished
lots of speculation among the Belgians
as to what use the Germans were put
ting the animals to, the general i'm
preston apparently being that they
We're being used for food!
This. however, seemed much less
likely to me than that they were being
employed as dispatch dogs in the
trenches. the same as we use them on
our side Of the line. They might pos
sibly kill the dogs and use their skins
for leather and their carcasses for tai
low, but l feel quite. sure that the
Huns are by no means SO short of food
that they have TO eat dogs yet awhile.
Indeed, l want to repeat here what
I have mentioned before T; if anyone has
the idea that this war can be won by
starving the Huns, he hasn't the slight
est idea how well provided the Ger
mans are in that respect. They have
considered their food needs in cOnnec-
ton with their for several
years to come and they have gone at
it in such a methOdical, systematic
way, taking into consideration every
possible contingency, that provided
there is not an absolute crop failure,
there isn't the slightest doubt i'm m
mind that they car last for years, and
the worst of it is they are very cock
sure about it themselves.
1t is true that the German soldiers
want peace. As l watched them
through the keyhole in the door /
thought how unfavorabIy they COM
pared with our men. They marched
along the street without laughter, with
out joking, without singing. 1t was
quite apparent that the war is telling
on them. l don't believe I saw a single
German soldier who didn't look as II
he had lost his best friend-and he
probably had.
At the same time there is a big DIFF

GOOD ROADS ARE NECESSARY

Good roads have long been a need.
Today they are a necessity. Instead
of putting by road improvements until
the war is over, war needs make i'm
mediate road development the more
imperative. The country can produce
plenty Of food and supplies If we can
but transport them where they are
needed. The motor car and the motor
truck can do the work If the roads are
put in shape and kept in shape. 1t Is
not too much to say that bad roads in
America threaten the lives Of our men

munitions, food and equipment, and
these must be taken to them owe

part by boosting road improvement in
