TRADE FOLLOWS THE AUTO

DRINCE DEDJAZMATCH MADAO,
= head of the Abyssinian mission to
President Wilson, is going to take an
automobile home with him.
Abyssinia is a country of primitive
agriculture and poor roads.
AS the prince evidently intends to run
that machine and certain other princes
of the court will assuredly follow his ex-
ample, there is likelihood that the
Abyssinian equivalent for highway COM
missioners will have to get busy
+. Better roads will mean better farms.
Better farms will mean improved ma
chinery and all the comforts of home.
First thing we know there'll be work
for the American drummer in Abyssinia.

A GOOD story that has never seen the light
~ of day is told about DR.. Francis d. Pat
tcrSon. lie is n son of c. Stuart Patterson
fnamci"r and pubIicist. and n brother of
George Stuart Patterson, the distinguished
chief counsel of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
incidentally. it should not be forgotten
that Francis u. Patterson was an officer
who served with honor in the Spanish
American War. He held the rank of ma ior
in the United States Public Health Service
as field director for PENNSYLVANIA in the
world war.
The above services are mere incidents in
an unusually active life for comparatively
young man.
He has held the position of chief of di-
vision of industrial hygiene and engineering
in the Department of Labor at Harrisburg
for the last five years. He is away up on
explosives; likewise on the chemical con-
stitucuts Of combustibles of all kinds.
His position takes him to WASHINGTON
frequently and his keen eyes are constantly
following the qualifications of national legis-
lation pertaining to his varied duties.
He found, on one of his visits, that n
measure had been introduced in Congress at
the instance of Van II. Manning, chief of
the United States Bureau of Mines. which
placed the manufacture. shipment. handling
and inspection Of all explosives in Mr.. Man
ning's hands. 1t even prevented state in
spectors from entering such establishments.
As a rider of the sundry civil bill it was
hoped to push it through.
1t passed the House and had gone to
the Senate, where it was amended and then
returned to the House for concurrence. 1t
was at this stage that it fell under the

The House refused to concur, though pre
viously it had passed it unanimously. II
was clever piece of work.
Doctor Patterson explained the situation
to one of the members of Congress from
| Philadelphia. The latter pointed out the
| object as well as the menace of the scheme
on the floor Of the House. He fought il
single handed. He made every member SEE

House OF Parliament. where speakers
told Premier T. c. Norris that they
stood for law and order and for recogni-

The anti-strike marchers then paraded
to the City Hall, where Mayor Charles
