that row had started among some Of
the factory hands and the whole bunch
was trying to settle the argument In
that peaceful and quiet way possible
with plenty of good stiff stones.
"Now, SAM" said the boss, Il shall

America's.Tin Industry.

While the United States has at
tanned a commanding position in the
tin plate export trade, 1t by no means
equals that which England had before
the war. Data show that while our
exports of tin plate hare grown from
1880 tons in 1913 to more than 233.-
600 tons in 1917, they even now are
less than 80 per cent of England's be-
fore the war, and only 80 per cent
more than that country's present ex-
ports.
VIII this country ever have tin in
iustry of its own? asks the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. The American tin-melt-
ing industry is still in the childhood
stage. Ore supplies in Bolivia, in
South America, are believed TO be
large. but Bolivian producers are find
ing conditions here unsatisfactory for
doing business. Only the future can
tell whether any relief is possible from

MARTYR HELD IN REVERENCE
st. catharine Occupies Exalted Posi-

Roman Catholic Church.

Among the earlier dates of the Ito-
man Catholic calendar st. Catherine
holds an exalted position. both from
rank and intellectual abilities. Dur
ing persecution instituted by Emperor
Maximus ii, ST. Catharine was mar
tyred, the tyrant reserving a more
cruel punishment for her than any of
the rest of his victims. She was
placed in machine, composed Of four
wheels, connected and armed with
spikes so that the victim would be
torn to pieces as they revolved. A
miracle, 1t is said. prevented the COM
pletion of this project, as a flash of
lightning severed the chords with
which she was tied, SCATTERING the en-
CINE and killing the e&ecutionars.
NITximus ordered that she be carried
beyond the walls of the city; scourged
and beheaded. From the scircum-
stances relating to the wheel. the we'll

GERMANY WITHOUT A FRIEND
Nation Stands Alone In the World.
Seemingly With No One to Mourn
for Her.

One cannot help wondering what
could have been the emotions of the
German agents In Spain when they
read the dispatch sent by King Alton
so to President Poincare. Those
agents have worked hard through all
these years of the war and spent money
Iavishly to make and keep Spain the
friend of Germany. They can claim
with some show of truth to have kept
her neutral, but now, In the day Of
Germany's humiliation, she gets no
sympathy from the Spanish king. In
stead he telegraphs to the French
president enthusiastic congratulations
on the victory Of the allies, and calls
the result achieved the reaching Of
''the end Of this glorious epic of the
French army and nation, which have
shown us ALL" he adds. what bravery
and patriotism mean" ~,
Alfonso says "us ALL" and no Span
lard protests. so they must join not
only in the kings felicitation of Ger
many's enemy but also in the implied
denial that Germany has shown any
body what bravery and patriotism
mean.
Another failure, therefore, must be
scored against German diplomacy and
propaganda. Is it the hundredth or

Our War With Mexico.

The Mexican war of 1916 lasted
nearly two years. The first actual col
lislon and bloodshed was on April %,
1916, between band of Mexican
troops that had crossed the Rio Grande
and company of American soldiers.
On May II, 1916, President Polk sent
a-pecial message to congress reciting
the facts and grievances, and said:
"As war exists, and Notwithstanding
all our efforts to avoid II. exists by the
act of Mexico herself, we are called
upon by every consideration Of duty
and patriotism TO vindicate with de-
cision the honor, the rights and the
interests of our country" During 1916
the battle of Palo Alto was fought,

Have you noticed what speeding
up" of music has come out Of this
war? There has been so much music
In it. When the famous retreat from
Mons was made, one set of soldiers
was kept awake and moving one night
by the music of little toy fife and
child's drum, which the commander of
II bought In kind of desperation In
shop shortly before. The music acted
like charm on the men, who began to
move more quickly and more easily as
soon as they heard it, A battalion
marching without singing Is unusual In
this war, unless secrecy of movement
is called for. There's a Long, Long
Trail" is favorite song, but dear old
'"Tipperary" is not sung much now.
Little French boys sing it well, though.
and sing 1t great DEAL Mother Ma
chree" is sung still, because it has so
much of the old home feeling in It..
Whenever a wounded soldier in the
hospital says he wants to hear a
photograph, IT is taken to mean that
he is getting better. And the very
sick soldiers, when they hear sweet
music played In their wards in hos
pitfalls, are soothed and Gained by it.

Honey.

Honey is the best substitute for
sugar that has yet been found. In

is real food. Few people, unfortu-

too often ii is stored In an ice chest
or a cold cellar. Under such condi-

keep honey is on the top shelf in a
