NO TIME FOR NIGHT LIGHTS
Unpatrlotic as We'll as Unhyglenic to Leave Them Burning With Coal
 >at a Premium.

A fear of the dark seems to be a common inheritance of Savages and children. But with a little patience any child can be coaxed out of this fear, and 1t can be proved easily enough that one rests better in room that Is not lighted If you still leave night light burning. turn 1t out. It isn't patriotic. It isn't really hygienic. And it certainly is not necessary.
 It has been estimated that 16-can- dle power lamp burned through an evening of, say three or four hours, consumes pound of coal. If you burn an eight-candle power lamp during A whole night you doubtless burn more than a pound of coal, and we are now being shown by the authorities in Washington that pounds of coal will have as much to do with winning the war as loaves of bread. If you are looking for something to do, if you are casting about for something to knit for Sammie in the trenches, If you are thinking of giving up sugar in your cof- fee. or planning to go without some thing one day In the week so as to do your bit, stop, and ask yourself about the night light.
 Turn 1t out!

Taking the Joy Out of Life.

They had been dining, in state, ln the dining car. Husband, who Is teacher of English, was glad that little daugh- ter had behaved so perfectly. Mother also was in a happy frame of mind. There were numerous other diners In the car and the parents were proud of their child. Not single thing had hap pened to mar the serenity of the oc- casion. Finally the meal was over and they started to leave the car. Their way took them past all of the other tables. Suddenly the little girl felt lmpelled to ask question.
 Mother" she called in a shrill voice, "aren't we going to wash the dishes?'

Patient Little Penny.

The patient little penny is coming into its own. Not that 1t has not had a certain popularity for religious collections and blind beggars, but aside from the purchase of papers and matches and to put into weigh ing machines, 1t has not been In great demand of late years. The nickel was king. It did not go to church so often, but it was exclusive and preferred to keep its own con- pany. Now 1t cannot accomplish much without the aid of the brownie, which until packages are reduced at least will enjoy something of It's ancient glory.-Richmond Times-Dispatch.

PARIS CHAUFFEURS ARE FOXY
Have Developed Ingenious Trick to Play on Sympathies of Unsuspeet-
 ing American Women.

Paris taxicab drivers-how many stories have been and will be written about them !-are now playing a new trick on unsuspecting Americans and even French people, especially women. There are several popular restaurants on the Avenue Trudale, which Is only reached from the boulevards by climb Ing the hill in the Rue des Martyrs. It takes time and gasoline to mount that grade; that Is why many taxis stop af- ter starting the ascent.
 The driver makes frantic efforts to start-then climbs down, lifts the bon net of the engine. pokes around, makes another effort to start, throws up his hands and exclaims: Its broken down! It won't go a foot further"
 His fare, usually woman, gets out, often angry and Indignant, but the chauffeur has lost his ability to reply In kind. He Is sad, and shakes hls head mcurnfully. "My whole evenings work will be wasted by the time this cars pulled back to the garage. l won't make any money tonight"
 As like as not, the sympathy of his passenger is aroused, and she gives him a good tip in addition to the fare indicated by the taximeter-and then walks up hill. When she is out or sight the chauffeur lifts the hood again, twists a valve and the engine starts with a bang. He hops to his seat and rattles back to the boule- wards, hoping to And another easy mark,

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 30.-Seething
industrial and political unrest
throughout Germany, which is now
marked by a rapid growth of the ma
tional strike movement, is causing the
imperial government genuine alarm.
Advices received today from the
German frontier estimated that nearly
100000 workers were idle in Ger
many
The walkout spread to factories en-
gagged on war work and the supply
of munitions and aeroplanes is seri-
ously hampered in some districts.
Many women went d6t with the
men. Numerous strike leaders have
been arrested and the Berlin police
issued a warning against street agita-
tors and secret assemblies.
1t is reported that Adolph Hoff-
man, editor of Vorwaerts, chief or
gan of the German socialists and
working classes, has been seized by
the police and his paper threatened
with a long suspension unless it
ceases its attacks upon the army
leaders.
Another telegram from a German
source reported the arrest of some of
the leaders, socialist party while
warnings were served upon others.
Leaders of the Pan-German element
are demanding the most drastic meas
ures of suppressing the labor agita-
tions.
The Pan-Germans want the govern
ment to give Won Hindenburg and Won
Ludendorf a free hand in dealing
with the socialists and strikers.
Dr. Philip Scheiaemann. leader of
the socialist party, has been refused
permission to speak at a socialist ral-
ly at Leipzig on February 3, and it is
likely that the police will not allow
the meeting to assemble.
The German government is threat
ening to refuse permission for public
meetings throughout the country un-
til conditions become quieter.
Nearly all the workmen of the
Daimler Electric company and the
General Electric company in Berlin
are out
The strikers attempted to hold a
demonstration against the food short
age, but were dispersed by the police.
Many coal miners in Prussian Si-
lesia struck and tried to persuade
Russian prisoners of war (who were
working in the mines) to quit also,
but the Russians had too much fear
of the German soldiers.
Workmen in naval factories at Kiel
and Bremen quit work and sailors
were called ashore from warships in
the harbors to guard the plants. The
strikers grew threatening and there
were shouts of 'Bolsheviki onward"
Dock workers at Hamburg threaten
ed to strike but it is not definitely
known whether they have done so.
An Amsterdam cablegram to the
International News Service on Tues
day told of growing strike movement
in Germany, especially in the environs
of Berlin, where many workers in
aeroplane and electrical factories
went out. 1t was the first intimation
to the outside world Of the real di-
mensions of the new strike movement
in Germany.

Daubert was working under the last
OF the high salaried Federal League war

end OF the 1918 season.
AS the war exigencies caused the cur
tailment OF the 1918 season. Daubert was

ate at loss with inferior teams, Dau-
bert further asserts that he was not
