The metal mines of the country
have been producing as never before

ly. vice president Of the Anaconda
Copper Company told senate mines
committee there was no need for
Legislation as proposed In the adj
ministration Of ore control bill. He
declared that passages of the bill
would stifle and strangle the mining
industry and would establish control
over entire mineral industry OF the
country. Why let political tinkering
hamper and discourage. an industry
that has been more than meeting all
requirement. Our law making should
encourage and not discourage indi-
vidual effort to maintain and to
increase production.

l. when people
passed by during the daytime they
did not say anything at all, they
made n funny noise, which was sup
posed to sound quite mysterious ana
wonderful, and then they did their
work.
But they understood each other
quite easily.

Reddy.
"Sure," said Reddy again.
II always like a good day-a day
when there's plenty Of business, for
the masters sake, but l do think It's

"Just the way feel about It," said
Bluey.
Now Bluey and Reddy stood all day
on top of stand. They had little
dishes Of grain and seeds and water,
and when business was duh they had
their meals.
Their master carried this stand
from place to place and Bluey and
Reddy always went along. They were
very handsome, with the most exQuis-
lite Of plumage. but, oh, what voices
they had!
It was their pride that they could
be heard mile of, but they did not
try too much Of this I'm the daytime.
They thought they might frlghten peO-

noise to attract people to them, and

EMBROIDERY AND THE
WAR.

The young girl sat under the
evening lamp sewing while her Ia
TIERS guests held 4 serious discus
sion. One of the women present
who had done fine needlework her

made, as pretty hands moved bacN

FORGET THE BILLIONS.

We imagine we are growing ac-
cuStomed TO vast sums and try TO
talk about millions and billions of
dollars as we used to talk about
pennies and nickels and dimes. But
there are pitfalls in this thinking
and talking OF sums far beyond our
real comprehension. Even the ex-
perts fall into them sometimes.
At a meeting OF 4 civic club when
financing the war was under dis
cuSsion. the speakers of the evening
both erred more than once. One
OF them was a successful business
man, the other an officer in a fed
eral reserve bank. Yet they got
their millions and billion" most
amusingly confused.
The writer OF an article on Lib
erty loans in one of our weekly pub
lications let one small, extra cipher
get into his article, and his totals
were ten times as large as they
should have been, which IS consid-
cradle when the right amount Is
several billions.
In an explanation in later issue,
correcting his errors. this writer
said: I'VE read that the belliger-
ents are spending one hundred o.
one hundred and twenty-five million
dollars 4 day. That statement means
absolutely nothing to US, for it IS
beyond our comprehension; but !
am nevertheless inclined 10 think
that it makes us less careful in the
expenditure OF one dollar and IS
largely responsible for the advance
j.. prices that is causing much hard
ship and is mistakenly attributed TO
imitation"
If he is right, and the necessity
for thinking in billions IS making
us careless about the small sums,
there's one easy remedy. We can
think about Thrift stamps for
while. And while we're thinking
about them. let's buy as many as we
possibly can. The big sums won't
seem so appalling ii were doing our
share in putting together the many
small sums that make up the whole.

She Had Her Choice.

Indianapolis News: The daughter
in the family was very proud OF
her white shoes but the only trou-
bic was that white shoes nowadays
don't stay white long. So the
daughter was constantly buying
shoe polish, and white shoe polish
and cleaner, being in demand, was
very high priced. The situation was
getting rather critical when the
daughters birthday came along.

the breakfast table that morning

Whatth Victory or D@f@asof Germany
Means TO Every American Citizen

Contributed by Joseph c. Lin
coin to the National Security
Leagues campaign of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Victory for Germany in this war
would mean victory for Prussia
and Prussian methods. 1t would
mean that the doctrines of Might
is Right" and OF "Frightfulness'
had been vindicated. 1t would mean
that it was not only justifiable but
glorious to butcher unarmed old
men and boys, to cruelty women, to
outrage little girls, to systematical-
ly loot and burn and destroy unre-
sisting villages. Treaties, by such
victory, would be proven indeed
only scraps OF paper and honor
and truth and justice but foolish
names. The gentle Christ in our
churches would be replaced by an
idol made in Germany Prussian
god, sporting an upturned mustache
above Won Hindenburg jaw, and
for his chosen motto not the Golden
Rule, but deutschland uber allies"
Liberty and freedom would be "ver-
boten' to all but Germans - nay.
to all but Prussians, and to all Prus-
slams except those in uniform.

mean triumph for autocracy and
military brutality and the downfall

NO MORE LOAFING IN NEW
YORK.

Idleness is to be given knock
out blow in the place where it has
hourished most. Several states have
taken drastic action to rid them
selves OF loafers. but New York goes
beyond them. A law recently pass
ed by the legislature provides for
the literal drafting Of idlers into
the service Of the commonwealth,
ior war purposes.
The law applies to all able-bodied
men between IS and so who are not
employed at least 80 hours a week.
1t includes those who live on their
incomes. or are supported in whole
or in part by the labor OF women
and children. The idlers are re-
quired to register, somewhat as men
OF military age do for selective ser
vice. Blanks are furnished by the
state industrial commission. Any
eligible resident failing i'll this for
malitv Is to be allied as vagrant.
The governor will designate indus
tries in which these men may be
employed, "for the protection and
welfare of the country" They may
be furnished by the state authori-
ties, in squads, to employers desir-
ing them in the industries specified.
The law is expected, in the words
OF one of the metropolitan papers,
to rid the state of lounge lizards,
tango fends, hotel FOUNDERS, sta
ton loiterers, pool sharks, drug
hends, habitual drunkarGS, sure
money men. gamblers, cadets ana
vagrants of every type" Il it will
have that effect particularly in New
York City, it is certainly to be com
mended.
The task of enforcing it, however,
is likely to prove difficult. And
many visitor from the provinces
may get into trouble from lack or
visible occupation, unless sightsee-
ing is regarded as an occupation in
New York.
