was the only one of the kaiser's sons
whom / ever saw in civilian dress. He
vas the first member of the royal fam
lily to come to me after the murder
of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and
he was in mourning when he called.
He looked very sad and detected and
gave me the first intimation that the
tragedy of SarajevO would almost In
evitably lead to general war.
In January. 1918, in speaking of the
part that America would take in the
war, he mentioned that his officers had
told him that 10000 Americans were
on the western front. 1--WE don't be-
lieve 1t. however," he added. How
could they get there without our know
ing it? Our U-boats would certainly
have found 1t out. No, Davis, it's not
true
Prince Joachim, the kaiscr's young
est son. and one of the last of the
royal family to visit me, reminded me
very much of his eldest brother, the
crown prince. He was tall and slender
and would have been good-lOoking but
for a retreating chin which was very
pronounced. He had ms little respect
for public opinion as the crown prince.

weight In gold and many cars for the
army were supplied with plain iron

This prince was the only member OF
the royal family to get near enough
to the firing line to get shot. The In
jury. which he received while at the
western front. was only slight flesh
wound of the thigh. but II was enough
to start him limping through history.
II was such a superficial wound that
1t couldn't have caused him Onehalf
as much pain as 1t gave the whole
royal family pleasure.
The fact that one of the knlser's
own sons had actually been wounded
and shed his royal blood in active SER
vice was something that the inspired
press will never stop growing over,
but by Just what accident the prince

There were two beautiful rings on

watches were used almost exclusively
by women. He seemed to be bright

USE CACTUS HERE
 FOR CATTLE GUARDS

An ingenious foreman of an Ari- zona railroad recently conceived the idea of using the cactus plant as a cattle guard at railroad crossings. The first, which was planted a few months ago, has proved an unquaii- fled sussess. Not a single animal has attempted to cross it. As a matter of fact, both horses and cattle are thoroughly familiar with the species of cactus used, and fight shy of it as they would of a rattlesnake.
 A frame of two-inch by siX-inch timbers was placed on edge and fitted between the tracks. In the bottom of this structure are a few inches Of sand and gravel in which the cactus plants were placed. The cactus is very long lived, but as it grows in abundance along the railroad track il can be renewed if necessary. As the thorns will pierce an odinary boot or shoe it was necessary to place a piece of timber along the bottom bal of the fence to allow employees tc cross.
 This is by far the cheapest form of cattle guard in use on any rail road.-Popular Science.

FAVORS GOOD WAGES TO
 BACHELORS, so THEY
 WILL BE ABLE TO MARRY


 William Ogburn, formerly a pro- lessor of economics in tn eWashing- ton State University and now an ex- aminer for the war labor board, was the only witness today in the hear ing of a petition of the packing house employees for more wages, bet ter working conditions and other concessions, before Judge Samuel Alschuler, federal arbitrator of the dispute.
 MT. Ogburn. stated that in his opinion SLIGO was the minimum amount which a family of five per sons could live in reasonable comfort. He advocated paying that amount to unmarried men of 23 to 25 years of age in order to give them a chance to get married, declaring that mar riages at an early age should be en- couraged.
 Regarding wages paid women, Prof Ogburn said that according to sta tistics in 1916 more than half of the working women of America were earning less than $6 week. Better wages mean better health and better American citizenship" he said.

COAL RESTRICTIONS REMOVED

The Federal Fuel Administration has begun the removal of wartime restrictions on the use of coal, having authorized the use of all lights, ex- cept when generated from domestic sizes of anthracite coal, during the United War Work Campaign, in or der to facilitate the work of raising the $170,OO0,OOO. needed. There has also been a discontinuance of the cur tailment of coal consumption for the production of brick, cement, lime, hollow tile and lumber for building purposes. This action is in harmony with that of he tWar Industries Board in removing the ban on a con- siderable number of non-war com modities, including almost all kinds of construction and building material
