"MAKE GOOD" WITH CHILDREN
Scheme of Life That Is Beautiful
Thing for Both Parents and
Offspring.

From year to year we find every
where constantly growing apprecia-
ton by parents Of their responsibility.
1t is not the kind Of responsibility
really that puts blue specs on life and
blurs the distant road. but is the kind
of responsibility that makes father
want the companionship Of his son and
the mother the condolences Of her
daughter. The parent knows 1t cannot
have these things without getting and
holding, truly earning. the child's re-
spect.
A man of affairs. the father of three
boys, told me just few days ago Of
certain things he had to do that just
then he did not feel that he could
spare the time nor the money to do.
But he said. 1--WE got to make good
with my boys"
Making good'' with your children Is
about as good a thing as any parent
can do. 1t means keeping a grip on
your temper, discretion In your speech
and sunshine in your heart. And that
is a scheme Of life good for you both

What Ts cowardlce?

However many phases there may
be of courage, bravery. valor and fear.
there seems to be but one Of actual
cowardice. It Is moral panic-an alb
solute restitution of courage. 1t
comes about through surrendering to
the initial fear and letting it democrat
ize one. Panic quickly follows and
one fees in terror. oftentimes in ter
ror of something that does not exist,
something purely Imaginary and born
Of a fear-crazed brain. The cause OF
the original fear often becomes insig-
nif1cant in comparison to the imagined
one. This state Of panic is contagious.
This 10 best illustrated by a flock of
sheep when one of them becomes
alarmed and bolts. The others rush
pell nell after 1t, bleating and terror
stricken. not knowing why. OF of what
they are afraid.-Physical Culture.

SEVEN REASONS FOR SAVING

Save for your countrys sake, be-
cause it is now spending millions a
day and must find most of the money
out of savings.
Save for your own sake, because
work and wages are plentiful, and,
as prices are high now, dollar will
buy more after the war.
Save, because when you spend you
make other people work for you. and
the work of everyone is needed now
to win the war.
Save, because by saving you make
things cheaper for everyone, especi-
ally for those who are poorer than
you.
Save, because by going without you
relieve the strain on ships, docks, and
railways, and make transportation
cheaper and quicker.
Save, because by saving you set an
example that makes it easier for the
next man to save. A saving nation
is an earning nation.
Save, because every time you save
you help twice, first when you don'i
spend and again when you lend to the
the nation.-The Commonwealth.

UPLlFTED BY WHITE RULE
Unlike Most UnelviIized Peoples, the
Maoris Have Been Helped by
Contact With Conquerors.

Once cannibals and fierce warriors,
their faces tatooed so as to be terri
bic to look upon, the Maoris of New
Zealand are now lawyers, doctors,
even members Of the, New Zealand
legislature. Their cannibalistic ten
denotes Britain long ago successful
~ suppressed. A few old warriors are
the only remaining examples of the
ancient art Of tattooing.
The cannibalism of the Maoris was
the natural consequence of life In a
country where animals and birds were
few and hard to find. War was their
favorite sport, but from their ear
splitting. hair raising war dance often
performed even in time of peace, they
would turn to the story tellers for one
of the loved tales or songs of their
ancestors and heroes. A feeling of
rhythm and poetry was deeply rooted
In these people. Many of their stories
were in verse form and they had a
song for every occasion.
They had not always lived in New
Zealand. Many years back a chief had
gone on a long voyage from their
home In Hawaiki and had found an
island good for fishing and with few
natives to be conquered. To this is
land he led his people and here for
many generations they have lived and
fought. A Maori legend explains that
the north island of New Zealand was
caught up from the sea with a jaw
bone fish hook by Maui, the favor
lite hero of the tribe. Many are the
legends of the deeds of Maui which
the Maori fathers relate to their sons
that they, too. may be brave and
strong, If not In battle, at least on
the football field, where today the
Maoris excel. ,
Those of the tribe who do not live
in the New Zealand cities are grouped
in little villages not unlike the Maori
settlements Of the days before the
coming of the white men. They raise
their grain, potatoes and tobacco in
their gardens, and fish in river and
sea for cells and trout. Unlike the In
dian, these people are holding their
OWL against civilization and are even
thriving in a British-ruled New Zea-
land.-Chicago Daily News.

CONNECTS CARACAS WITH SEA
American Built Railway Which
Gives Venezuelan Capital Its
Only Outlet to the Ocean.

For more than 300 years Caracas,
capital city of Venezuela, was access
sible from La Guaira, its port town,
only by an old Spanish trail, which in
the very early days Of the country
the Indians had traced across the
mountains that range along the north
ern coast. 1t was not until 1883, after
several attempts had been made to
build a railroad, that Caracas finally
was connected by rail with the hot
little town that gives the republics
chief city its outlet to the sea.
In that year an enterprising Ameri-
can, who several years before had
come. to Venezuela as minister or
consul from the United States, COM
pleted the work on the La Guaira and
Caracas railway and Immediately
opened tie line to traffic, which but
for an infrequent landslide or revolu-
ton has continued uninterrupted ever
since. The line today is one of the
finest narrow-gauge mountain railways
In the world.

: bama, where it is worn out taking the
seed from the cotton.
In many cases there is a still great
er waste Of transportation, and in one
instance the same material transmit
ed by successive manufacturing pro-
cesses Is known to have been shipped
back and forth over nearly identical
routes some eleven times before it
became part of the finished article and
was put to use.
To eliminate this unnecessary trans
portation where possible, In so far as
the manufacture of war material is
concerned, is the task to which Mr..
Otis has addressed himself. and he is
succeeding so well that he will prob
ably effect lasting revolution In
American industry that will save hun
dreds of millions annually both during
the war and afterward.
But it would take a book to describe
all the scientific economies that have
been learned or evolved from the ex-
perience of the war. We have been
taught to save coal, to utilize by-prO-
ducts, TO use corn instead of wheat for
bread, to eat less meat and sugar and
to live healthier lives, to wear old
clothes and wear them out, and to
earn more by increasing our produc-
ton, and spend less by decreasing our
consumption.
BY the saving in labor thus effect
ed we have been able to supply the
man power necessary for the success
full prosecution of the war, and by the
practice of the unnumbered economies
that are rapidly becoming habits we
have been able to follow "pay-as-
you-go" policy in meeting the wars
expenses and to loan some $4,000
600 or more to our allies besides.
The experience has been salutary,
its lessons will not be forgotten, and
the record thus far indicates that we
will be able to recreate the wealth
destroyed and pay the debts incurred
within a surprisingly short time after
the re-establishment Of peace.

CAN'T GO HALF WAY
Must Really Win This War So

No halfway measures are going to

it!
The German leaders have the Ger

support their masters in their bar
barrie struggle to bring the rest of the
world to its knees to them.
The free people of the world say the
kaiser and his crowd are not going
to get away with it. There's just one
little difficulty-there's nobody to
force us, and the other free people,
to pull together with every ounce Of
our strength, unless we do it our
selves. Nobody's telling you you've
got to buy so many Liberty Bonds,
except the self same kaiser, and he
doesn't tell it to you in so many
words, but he says he'll be 1T, unless
you can stop him-and, of course, he
believes you can't do it!
But you know in your heart and
soul that you can! You know that
all of us-all the free people of the
world-are going to make a monkey
out of any man, or out Of anybody Of
men, or out of any nation that says
all (the rest of US are going to stand
around and let him or them dictate
orr comings and goings.
The kaiser said Americas going to
pay for this war" He has also said
that he will run the world and make
it bow and scrape to the German idea
of Kultur-save the mark
So you've got to give him-and
them-the liei
And that means getting together
with the rest Of us and putting up
your money to do the job-and to do
it now! The longer you put it off,
the more 1t will COSTUMES, Of

WIN Amount to Vast Sum.

We read that retired soap manu-
facturer of the middle West has made
testamentary provision for fund Of
$1,000 which is to remain intact I'M
til the year 2169, neat little period.
The important document in the case
has been placed in an alright metal
tube, Theoretically sealed to Withstand
the ravages of time. and the fund will
be safely kept in such places as will
provide for steady financial accre-
ton. 1t has been figured that In 246
years the $1,000 will have increased
to more than $2O0,0OO000. and in the
year 2163 that amount will be avail
able for the benefciaries-"ho homeless
dogs and cats."-Providence Journal

People Leaving Juneau for Summer Camps in the
 Yukon Territory
 and in Alaska.

With the breaking of the ice in the Yukon last Saturday, travel is now beginning to set in from the coast towns towards the Interior camps for Summer mining. Among those leaving today were E. R. Liz gett and w. S Neece, who are head ed for Marshall City, on the Lower Yukon.
 All of the interior camps-in the Yukon Territory including Atlin, the Klondike and numerous streams, as well as the Chandlar, Koyukuk and numerous camps in Alaska drained by the great Yukon river watershed, will soon be humming with industry. Summer is the harvest time for the placer miners and dredging outfits and hydraulic plants of the interior
 Reports already received indicate that the seasons output will equal if not exceed, that of last season. The heavier fall of snow has insured plenty of water. The labor problem is probably the most serious which will confront operators.

ALASKAN TELLS OF CLEvERNESS
 FRENCH WAR DOCS
Major L. H. French Also Tells of Devotion of French Women and
 Hun CrueItieS.

Graphic accounts of the cleverness of French war dogs, glowing pictures of the devotion and fortitude of the French women and other noncombat- ants of Paris, and severe denun- citations of German hrutalities com and the women of occupied terri tory, characterizes letters received by the Editor of The Empire from L. F. French, now a Lieutenant Commander in tEe United States Navy detailed to dock and troop and supply movements in France Ma jor French is we'll known in Alaska by reason of his long residence at Nome and Southwestern Alaska.
 In part, Major French writes:
 "The French War dogs are wonder ful. The sentry dogs are trained not to bark and HLen they scent Q German. which they can do at 200 yards, long before a man could st or hear him in the dark they poke their masters with their noses and the French soldiers have time to es- cape and save their outposts.
 'The ambulance dogs do splendid life-saving work. When man is wounded, hls first instinct is to crawl out of danger and out oe sight-under bush or into a hoia. Becoming unconscious, he cannot ali find him. They bring hack to their mao- ters a cap, a button or a piece of cloth, and then guide help back to the wounded i;sr
 Dogs Carry Messages
 "On the other hand. 'hey will ntt leave a man who is net dead, As so many are mistakenly believed to be- and as the dog is never wrong this saves many lives, Dogs also carry messages where a man would surely be shot, and sometimes they are camouflaged and painted to es- cape detection. Many cases are on record where dogs have been nor tally wounded and have nevertheless carried their messages through and then dropped dead.
 Hate the Germans? If you were over here and could know about the atrocities they commit you would agree with me that the best thing would be to have every one oi them | wiped out.
 "The French women do mary Cile things. When they see their men | folk off on a train, they laugh and shout and say good-byes- the train is out of sight. Then they | fall on each others neckss and give way to complete despair. doubt i if our women could refrain iron weeping at the moment of depl t ure of their loved ones.
