court in that city with reference to
the recent arrest and conviction of Il
Newark women, the mother of eight
children, and man by the name of
Lytle in this city on charge of con
tributing to the delinquency of the
womans children. The article, as
published in Newark indicated that

lax in the discharge of their duties,
while Judge Wilkins and Mr.. Purcell
declare that the record of the case
shows that action was taken as soon
as information of the existing state
of affairs was sent them and that
Lytle is now serving Jail sentence

ter conditions surrounding labor
The approaching convention is the
first in the history of the union at
which new wage scale will not have
to be formulated. Always in the past.
wage scales have been an important
topic and have taken much time and
discussion. Since the signing of the
scale agreed to in March 1916 the mine
workers have obtained two additional
increases in pay.
Among the subjects which will come
up for consideration is the penalty
clause provided in the Washington
agreement OF last September. This
clause fines those responsible for neg
lect in enforcing agreements. A sim.
liar clause has been in existence in
the Central Competitive field, as well
as in Iowa and the southwestern dis.
tricts for years. Some miners dissat.
isfied with it, however, have promised.

The recent verdict rendered in the
Federal Court for the Western /Dis.

Mine Workers for 100000 for alleged
violation of the Sherman Antitrust
law, and the pending appeal of the
case to the higher courts, probably
will be discussed by the convention.

from trying to persuade employees of

possible action in the case will take
the form of an effort to obtain remed-

national legislative committee will
be appointed before the close of the
convention to carry the issue to con-
gress.

There is no other organization on

strongly the point that there is room
for everyone in the kingdom OF
Christ, if they will but come.
"NNhy don't we have more business
men in the church," he demanded.
"Ill tell you why. 1t is because they

Smith Said Might Have Been
Interesting.

Speaking Mt dinner. Representa-

ferred to the glory Of feminine fash
ions and fittingly related a little story
along that line.
Recently Smith and Jones met In a
restaurant, and while daintily manip-
ulating the abbreviated bits. their talk
turned TO n comparison Of domestic
expenses. First it was beef. next It
was butter. and finally millinery came
up for few sighful remarks.

and, after telling me that it was stand

sweetly asked me what thought of

"Oh, yes" answered Smith. with a
grim expression. 81 simply raved over
that hat for an hour."-Philadelph

Paner Fabrics in Norway.

The Nydalens company, one of Nor
ways leading textile manufacturers,
has for some time been experimenting
with paper textiles, and the results
have been so good that its factory will
soon produce these new fabrics on a
large scale, according to commercial
agent report from Copenhagen. They
consist of 20 per cent paper and "a
per cent cotton and are said to be soft
and warm; little heavier than ordi-
nary cotton goods and not quite so
strong, but cheaper. They should be
especially suited, says the Norwegian
press, for blouses, dresses, curtains,
and, in short, as substitute for cot
ton goods in general.
The Christiania sejlugsfabrik (sail
cloth factory has also been expert
menting with paper as substitute and
has obtained some promising results.

Sand and Gravel Piled on Subgrade
Ready for Use on Experimental Con-
crete Road, Chevy Chase, Md.

certainly true that the French had
the best roads in the world when the
war broke out and that the men and
supplies which checked the first Ger
man rush went forward largely by
motor. 1t is also true that a break
down of all transportation facilities
prevented Russia from effectually mo-
bilizing her tremendous resources.
There is now federal Office of good
roads, operating under the federal
road act. whereby the government ap-
propriates funds for roads, provided
the states in which the roads are to
be built will appropriate similar
amount. This gives the government
the power to recommend the improve
ment or building Of certain roads and
to disapprOve the improvement or
building of others. 1t may exercise a
sort of advisory and mildly compul-
sorry power toward the establishment
Of unified national system of roads.
But this power. 1t is argued, is by no
means sufficient in an emergency like
the present. What Is needed Is the
power to form definite plan for a
system Of national highways. and the
funds to carry that plan into execu-
ton as rapidly as possible.
For this new national system Of
highways must not only be thorough
W co-ordinated. but must be radically
different from that of most of our
present roads. The failure of these
latter is largely due to the fact that
roads which sufficed very well for the
traffic Of light pleasure cars and farm
ers' wagons will not stand up under
the strain Of heavy truck traffic. A
truck highway, to meet the require
ments now being laid upon it, must be
paved highway with a concrete base.
Such road is very expensive to
build; it costs from $4,000 to $4,000
mile.

sergeant at a recruiting office.
He adopted an air of great superb
GRITTY, displaying at the same time, in
an ostentatiOus manner a watch-chain
with big seals, glittering tie-pin,
studs, cuff links, as well as several
rings.
"Ah, sergeant" he said, in peremp-
tory manner, please look sharp with
my details; 1 have-ah-rather an i'm

The sergeant looked him up and
down steadily as though searching for
something he could not find. Sudden
ly he sprang to his feet.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it a trial It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
