GERMANY ON VOLCANO"
Never Before in Such Danger of Domestic
Explosion, Says Amsterdam Paper.

Amsterdam, Jan. l2.--Germany was
never in such danger of collapse from in.
ternal and external difficulties as at pres.
ent, says the correspondent in Germany
OF the Tiid, in an analysis of the exist
ing situation. The political struggle con-
centrated around Foreign Secretary Won
Kuehlmann has been reflected in violent
scenes in the main committee of the
Reiehstag. Public action of the Socialist
minority cannot longer be resisted, and
even should militarism gain a temporary
ton will follow quickly.
ton will follow uqickly.
Russia's example is said already to
have infected popular and military cir
Giles. The food question, national mourn
ing, the dislocation of industry, the
growing desire for peace and fear of a
new offensive on the west, threaten to
lead to tragic phase if the negotiations
at Brest-Litovsk fail, and in that case
domestic explosion is inevitable.

THAT WHICH is ETERNAL.
By Pauline Worth Hamlin of The Vigil
antes.

Twenty years ago a little woman went
with her husband and seven children to
take up" a ranch in western Colorado.
1t was real pioneering-for they lived 10
miles from the nearest neighbor. Their
water had to be hauled five miles in bar
rels. There was very little money and a
great deal of hard work, which perhaps
after all was blessing. because it served
TO break the monotony of the desert life
This woman was well educated and had
always enjoyed association with intel
lectual people. She missed it very much
She also missed good books and maya
zines. She longed for music but there
was not enough money for even i phone
graph.
After 20 of these starved. monotonous
years her two tovs found good positions
il the city 800 miles away. Tney wrote
her that they were going to send her
money to buy some good clothes and
ticket TO California, where they wanted
her to spend the winter. just at that
time our country was plunged into war
and the message from her boys. which
made her.so happy was followed by an
other asking Shall We enlistf"

PLEASE FEED THE BIRDS.

The deep snow covers their usual
food--insects' eggs and larvae and
the seeds of weeds--and they will
starve unless we feed them.
Give them shayseed," chaff from
the barn floor, crumbs, scraps of
meat, bones and suet; anything
eatable and they will repay you a
thousand fold by their work in the
garden and orchard all the spring.
Do it now. Fasten the meat
scraps and suet securely to the
trees and see how eagerly the
chickadees and woodpeckers go to
it. Tread the snow down hard and
scatter the hayseed and crumbs
there, or put the food ON board
or box and watch the jmcos and
tree sparrows fill up. Put out
chaff and grain for the quail and
meadow larks in the pasture. They
work for us all summer long, eat
ing insects.
Keep it up while the snow lasts.
1t is not only fine philanthropy
but a paying investment for each
one of us. If you want to know
more about feeding and protecting
birds, write to Winthrop Packard,
Agent National Association of Au
dubon Societies, 66 Newbury ST.,

ZINC INDUSTRY IN 1917.
Geological survey Reports Decrease in
Both Output and Value.

The zinc mining and zine smelling in.
dustries started the year with every
prospect of prosperity, although the price
of smelter was below the average of the
preceding year. During the last half OF
the year both the zine smeters and the
zinc miners were claiming that their OPP
ponents were Improbable because of the
high general prices and the low price of
spelter In consequence large part of
the smelling capacity of the country was
idle at the close of the year and there
was notable curtailment of output dur
ing the last quarter.
According to the best information now
available, the recoverable zinc content of
ore mined in the United States in 1917
was about 100000 short tons in 1916 and
6059l5 tons in 1915.
The Joplin district gained nearly 90
900 tons in output. This gain was made
during the early part of the year how
ever, for the increasing cost of operating
in the sheet ground district and the de-
lining price of concentrates caused prac-
tically all those mines to close and re-
duced the output of sheet ground con
600 tons in 1916 to an average of about
one third of that quantity in recent
weeks. This loss, which is permanent
involves a net reduction of the zinc re-
sources of the country of over $4,000 tons
of recoverable zinc year, as well as of
lead concentrates containing $4,000 tons
of lead
New Jersey increased its output over
IN D0n faua ba Ipnar Missics1ppi yolIox,
district gained 5000 tons, and Arkansas
made a creditable increase. Montana fell
off nearly $4,000 tons; the loss being due
largely to the strike in the Butte dis
trict. Colorado lost 10000 tons, Utah
5000 tons, New Mexico 1000 tons, Idaho
and California 5000 tons each, and Ne
vaea 1000 tons. OF the total production,
the eastern states contributed 1900
tons, or % per cent, the central states |
293, 900 tons, or 43 per cent, and the west
ern states 243, 900 tons. or 81 per cent. In
1916 the corresponding quotas We're, east
ern states, 20 per cent; central states,
80 per cent, and western states, IL per |
cent.
The following figures have been com
piled without charge by c. 4. Siebenthal. /
of the United States geological survey,
department of the interior. from reports
furnished by all active smelters of zinc
ores, showing their output for the first
ii months of the year and their esti-
mated output for December. Figures
showing the imports and exports for 10
months were obtained from the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce. and to
these figures have been added estimates
for the remainder of the year.

GIVES SCOPE OF
RED CROSS WORK
Report Reveals Tremendous Activity OF
American 0rganiza-
ton.

Paris, Jan. 12-Thc tremendous scope
of the work of civilian relief carried or
by the American Red Cross was revealed
in the report of Homer Folks, director

amounts to more than $S,000,000.
New work outlined by Folks will re-
quire an additional so physicians and 800
nurses with 300 other aides.
Maj. Murphy, recently at the head of
the Red Cross work in France, is bring
ing back to America copy OF the re-
port. 1t covers every civilian activity
and shows the wide scope of the Ameri-
can problems as tuberculosis, maternity
and baby hospitals, housing of refugees,

is YOUR HAIR SLIPPING?
dERPDE WILL 3E HERpkDE Will SAVE IT TOO LATE FOR HRPcDE

The presence of dandruff and fall
ing hair conveys a warning which it
is best to heed. At first the loss of
hair may be SO slight as to be hardly
noticeable. But no matter how little
may be the fall each day, it is work
ing toward the same and inevitable
result, and that is total badness.
You may have hair enough today,
but how about tomorrow and the day
after? Dandruff and falling hair

dandruff and allows the hair to grow

Save Soap.
Soap is valuable. The L. s. food ad
ministration urges every housewife not
to waste it. Every cake of soap con-
tains fat that the world abroad is hungry
for and also glycerine that is needed in
the making of explosives.
1t is the duty OF every true blue daugh-
ter of Uncle Sam, therefore, to see that
no soap is wasted in her home. See that
the children don't let it float in the tub
or wash bowl Make your own scrubbing
soap, if possible. Ii you don't do this,
use soap powder whenever you can in
stead OF hard soap. The latter contains
about s5 per cent fat, while soap powder
has only about 80 per cent. OF course
the powder is not suitable fer toilet pur-
poses, but for scrubbing and for rough
cleaning it will answer perfectly we'll.
If you don't make your own soap sell
your saved fats to the soap maker. Re
member soap is valuable, Treasure it

Germans could operate a train every

easy to figure at that rate that IT

at least three. II we assume that
they can move "a trains a day over
