Three Men and the Vision They Saw
By Bruce Barton

In certain city dwell three men, And by
accident of birth one of them is Catholic and
one is Protestant and one is Jew.
For thirty years they have engaged In busl-
ness side by side, and the Catholic has not dealt
with the Protestant; and the Catholic and the
Protestant have had no dealings with the Jew.
What is he to me?' each man has said.
'He is not of my faith; | will avoid him."
SO for thirty years they have dWelt together,
strangers in friendly world.
Then came the shadow of q fearful war.
And out of those three homes three boys went
forth alone. Three fathers waited heart-worn
for the letters from over there.
''There are Soldiers of Frendliness over
here the boys wrote home. "They bring us
chocolate, and motion pictures, and baseball,
and good lectures; and the memory of mother
and Of God"
Help those friendly agencies when you have
the chance" each boy wrote home.
So it happened that the three fathers found
themselves working shoulder to shoulder in
great campaign for funds.
Not as a Catholic and Protestant and
Jew-but as good citizens united in a common
cause.
And as they worked they came to know each
other and they were ashamed that for so many
years they had been strangers side by side.
Surely this is one of the cOmpensations of
war" they said, that in our deeper love for
our boys we have learned a new respect for one
another"
So a spirit was born into that city. AS
though in it's heart it had discovered something
Of the greater religion, whose God is Father;
and whose faith and creed are love-

SHOP SENSE FOR HOMES

There is no present indication that
the drafting OF men for military pur-
pose, will abatc for some time
General Crowder has called another
lot OF men to report at camp before
November p. and more are to go
soon after.
OF necessity employers are turning
more and mote to women to fill the
gaps. and where the work is over
heavy for them, mechanical ap-
pliances are installed to solve the
difficulty.
While it is Of course desirable that
unmarried women so far as possible
fill these idustrial positions, the de
mand for help is great that it is al
most impossible to confine it to this
class. Moreover, the housekeeping
woman is often driven by necessity
to assume an outside job in addi-
tion to her home duties. Frequently,
as in the case Of the married man.
the very necessity which drives her
renders her a more valuable en-
ployee than if She were single.
Here are good reasons for her
being hired and keeping her job,
but she cannot do this successfully
and still conduct her house work by
the old, laborious methods. Her
work and her health will both deter
iorate.

PROHIBITION AND
CHILD LABOR

Side by side in an Ohio uewspa-
per are two announCemcnts-ont
that although some $1,000 men will
be forced ont of employment in Ohio
hv the fact that the state has voted
itself dry, the labor market is short
$4,000 men right now and the labor
will soon be absorbed; the other that
child labor has greately increased
since the decision that the federal
child labor law was declared uncon-
stitutional.
The dry story goes on to say
that in all states which have had
prohibition for any considerable
length OF time, the money formerly
spent for liquor has been observed
to 60 for clothing, furniture, better
food. better housing, the owning OF
homes. And the files OF the child
labor committee are full OF cases
where the shiitlcssness OF drinking
father, was the immediate cause OF
sending the children TO work at an
early age.
The combination looks hopeful
particularly ii the whole nation goes
drv before long. With short labor
market. surely the brewing, the dis
tribulng, the serving and the drink
inc Of alcoholic beverages OF any sort
are distinctly non-cssential indus
tries. The labor released from these
occupations ought, both directly
and indirectly, to assist in keeping
children in school where they be
long.
The fact that so many OF the gen
Grafton now in maturity were hall
fed. half-schooled, therefore lacking
in ambition, initiative, persistence
physical strength, unable to make
decent lvings for themselves or
their families. is no reason why tins
new generation should be allowed
to grow mp in the same way. IT IS
only the shiitless thinking OF well
fed, wel-schooled hard-Worklng'
successful people which permits
these things to go ON.
Each state voted dry. each child .
welfare statute or ordinance enact
ed. is one step up the ladder OF an
improved humanity.

WAR WORK DRIVE is ON

The signing OF an armistice does
not mean that war is over. 1t simply
means that fighting has stopped
while terms of peace are being de-

ends at once, it will be years before
all of them are brought home. Ger

Tanning Industry Growing


Now there is a good demand for
all sorts of leather articles in India,
including shoes, but vegetable tam
ming materials have been used al
most exclusively. Tanning by chrom-
ium compounds has been extensively
developedN n the United States and
Germany and this accounts for the
heavy export of raw hides to these
countries in the past 1t has been es-
.timated that half the amount of
OK and COW hides sent to Germany
and Austria yielded leather for 49,
100000 army boot uppers, while the
buffalo hides supplied 100000 ar
by boot soles. The remaining half
provided civilian footwear and en-
abled Germany and Austria to send
back to India large quantities of box
calf. Germany had acquired a prac
teal monopoly of the hide and leath

companies in Calcutta which worked
with the associations of tanners and
dealers in Germany.

monopoly and to abolish the unprof-
table practice Of shipping out raw
hides and skins which come back
later as manufactured articles, at

tablish the Indian tanning business
on a sound basis. The use of chrom-
