Tobacco Shares.

The leading tobacco stocks were one OF
the few groups to show yesterday out
standing strength In the face OF weak
ness in the balance of the market While
the highly speculative steels. specialties
and motors were reacting l to 10 points
in the afternoon the tobacco stocks came
to the front, with United Retail Stores
In the lead. American Tobacco also was
strong and the strength In this security
was reflected in the strength OF the new
A. T. securities on the curb. In con-
nection with the strength Of the tobacco
shares It Is understood that important
developments are pending and will be
announced soon. These are understood
to include a deal whereby valuable rights
accrue to United Retail stockholders
through taking in of another company.
The name of this new company could
not be ascertained yesterday. but 1t was
said that when made public 1t would be
a surprise to traders who recently sold
the stock on the theory that speculation
had shifted entirely from tobaccos TO
motors and steels.

Auto TheftS Continue.

According to an Official of the Automo.
bile Commissioner Office an average of
seven machines are stolen in Baltimore
every day and there seems to be no re-
lief in sight. The "auto acks" are on
the job early and late and often make off
with a machine while the police are look
ing on. An automobile is not safe from
the thieves whether it is in the suburbs
or in the heart of the city, for they op-
crate wherever a machine can be stolen.
And not only are the thieves busy steal
ing cars, but they perform the tedious
task of stripping a machine of its tires
without being detected by the police.
Rugs and articles of clothing left in au-
tomobiles cave also disappeared within
the last few days and it is evident that
the thieves find the work easy for there
have been few arrests.

DANGER IN CLOSED WINDOWS.
National Tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors the Annual Sale

Reports 100000 Deaths
Each Year From the
Disease.

Peonle who live in the smaller towns
and on farms have a great hetlth ad-
Vantage over the city dwcIlcrS in that
they have ever an abundant supply OF
fresh air and sunlight.
These two gifts of nature. so lavish
~ bestowed, are not always appreciat-
I'd to their fullest extent. lhey are
two of the strongest weapons against
the menace of tuberculosis, or con-
sumption, as 1t is sometimes called.
But consumption is not unknown in
the rural districts. THO death rate is
sometimes as greet III these sections as
in the more crowded localities. chiefly
because of carelessness Or Indifference
to laws of health.
Few. indeed, are the farm houses
or the homes in the smaller cities and
villages that cannot have an outdoor
k!eering porch. On the contrary, we
often find that the windows of sleep
ing rooms in the home are shut tight
in the mistaken belief hal night air
Is harmful.
This pnves the way for disease, espe-
cially tuberculosis, which generally at
tacks the lungs.
White Plague Kills 100000 Year.
The white plague claimed 10000
lives last year in the United States.
More than 100000 Americans are suf-
tering from it today. These figures
are compiled from reports of experts
all over the country and sent to the
National tuberculosis Association. the
lending agency in the country TO COM
bat this disease This organization is
sponsor for the Red Cross Christmas
Seal sale, from which its financial sup
pert is chiefly derived.
AS medical science has proved con-
sumption is both preventAnle and cura-
BILE, the suffering caused by this dis
ease Is largely unnecessary. Most tu-
bercuosis victims are between the
ages of eighteen and forty five
Causes Half Billion Loss Annually.
These are the years when people
are most active, the years of their
greatest production. The snufing out
of these lives just when they are at
the height of their usefulness means
an annual loss to the country of near
ly half billion dollars.
Fresh air is the cheapest of medi-
oines. Outdoor sleeping porches are
not o.ly for the sick. They help well
folks to keep well, and the country
dweller can have this aid TO healthy

Extra8avance and COnceit.

The man who said conceit was at
the bottom of every extravaganza
knew a good deal about human ma
ture. Few men would pay 81 for a
tie that did not look as it it cost 81
and the factory girls in Connecticut
who are buying $500 fur coats on
installments out of a salary of SIS a
week would care little for such coat
if the only place they could wear it
were in an asylum for the blind.
a modern philosopher says, Il con-
clude that dissatisfaction is common
human ailment and that | might as
well be unhappy with what | have
as unhappy with that can't afford. "
Thousands of Americans are dis
sipating their savings in extravagant
purchases purely through conceit.
And it is blind conceit which de-
ceives no one but the extravagant
themselves. When man goes into
store to buy S6 hat which he can
afford and comes out with a SIG hat
which has forced him to break into
his savings, he does not impress the
clerk who sells it or his friends who
see him wear it. But he has injured
them all and himself also. He has
aided to divert production from ne.
cessities to non-necessities, he has
helped keep up prices, and has with
drawn potential capital from possible
use in increasing industry. For him
self, he has weakened his defense
against old age, sickness and loss of
employment and depleted his often
sives in the battle for success.
Failure to save is too high price
to pay for the pampering of conceit.
The only safety against extravaganza
lies in thrift and saving. Liberty
Bonds, War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates may
not make fashy show but they are
more impressive than any extrava-
CANT possession money can buy.
They afford protection to savings
future and character and are sure
roads to possession of the things
really needed and desired.

Rigid Test For Troopers.

Albany, N. Y, October 20.-Tack-
ling insane men barricaded behind
barred doors, rescuing persons from
drowning, entering burning dwellings,
and saving their occupants are only
some of the jobs state troopers are
expected to perform, if they wish to
stay in the state service. Major Geo.
F. Chandler outlined the rigorous
tests through which a state trooper
must 60 to meet the standards OF
the department as he was examining
125 discharged soldiers who sought
jobs in the state service. Experience
has shown that only one out of 30
applicants can meet the tests.
Here are some of the things state
trooper is expected to do:
Be financially trustworthy; work
when his boss back is turned; not
"flirt" while on duty, have courage
enough to tackle an insane criminal,
enter burning buildings, get"
burglar or other desperado; know
horses and love children. In addi-
ton to that he must know more law
than police justice and almost as
much as a lawyer, and ride either
horse or motorcycle or drive an au-
tomobile.

Thieves Busy at Hagerst'n.
$4,000 Worth of Goods Taken
From Skaters Store.

Burglars entered the mems furnishing
store of Samuel NJ Shafer, in the heart
of the business section of Hagerstown.
Md, last Sunday night and carried away
goods valued at $500. 1t is said to be
the boldest and biggest robbery commit
ted in Hagerstown for sometime. The
burglars entered from the rear, panel
being knocked from the door.
Monday morning the display cases
were practically empty. Suitof clothing.
overcoats. silk shirts, jewelry, muffiers,
neckties and enough suitcases in which
to pack their loot had been taken by the
thieves.
The quantity of goods stolen was a
shock to the community as it was tho t
impossible that such an amount of goods
could have been taken away from the
very heart of Hagerstown without the
thieves being seen. The store is situated
on w. Washington street less than two
blocks from Police headquarters, and ad-
joins an all-night restaurant.
An alarm was sent out over the county
and state by the local authorities to be
on the lookout for the thieves.
A bold attempt to enter the residence
of John R. Schinel, corner of Broadwsy
and Locust street. Hagerstown. Sunday
night, was fru strated when the family

the vestibule and two others seen stand

the Brotherhoods made frequent de- mands upon Washington-and they always got everything they asked for. Matters were made so easy for them that it is clear that the Bro- therhoods have come to regard the Administration as "easy", sa and that instead of respecting it for it's help fulness,. the leaders of these organ izations have become arrogant by reason of their successes. This is evidenced by the comments of one of the Brotherhood chieftains con- cerning the suggestion of President Wilson for wage-war. He says: .sThe Railroads will be tied up so tight that they will never run again if that legislation is passed"

 A few days before the Brother hoods broke loose the President ask ed Congress to provide a Federal Commission along the lines of the Interstate Commerce Commission, with power to fix salaries of rail- road wage-earners. When a sinli- lar policy was entered into for the handling of labor problems along these lines during the war organiz- ed labor was immensely pleased, and the awards in many controversies were always satisfactory to the wage-earners.

AMERICAN BoLSHEvISM

The railroad Brotherhoods in theil
 appeal to the public demand that the owners of capital, who repre- sent only financial interests as dis. tinguished from operating brains and energy, be retired from man. agement, receiving Government bonds with a fixed interest return ed for every honest dollar that they have invested in the railway industry" They also task that a lease be granted" as a means of wrestling the lines from their own- CTS. But they do not propose to trust the Government to the man. agement of the roads. After they have kicked out the owners of the roads, as indicated by their state ment quoted above, they propose to protect themselves against the Government itself, which they ap- parently may fail in service to or ganized labor, by the establish ment of "a triparitite control be- tween the public, the railway oper- ating management and the employ ers."
 A Corporation" is advocated, and lit is to be controlled in its man. agement by an equal representa- tion of the three fundamental in- terests upon which industry is bas- ed. The public, operating manag- CTS and wage-earnes will tLen guar antee both the intregrity of the in- vestment required for the conduct of the industry and that return which induces it by investing to en- ter the public service"
 The Brotherhood program propos- es to seize the interests of capital invested in the railroads. It seeks to justify this course by the pro cess of railing at Wall Street" which, with all it's alleged faults, has never proposed measures which sought to overthrow established forms of government recognized by the United States.
 Lenine and Trotsky in their state ment to Russians proposed "hand- ing over the large estates to the peasants" The Brotherhood pro- gram proposes to hand over the railroads to the wage-earners.

Arkdnsas Farm Boy
 Is Wonder Mechanic

Russellville, Aug. 21.-Noel Jones a student in the Russellville Agricultural School, the son of John William Jones, a farmer living in Logan county near Prairie View, is considered the boy wonder mechan- ic of Arkansas. He recently finish ed building a talking machine simi- lar to the famous Edison. It is made from black walnut log given him by neighbor. In spite of the fact that he earns his way thru school by firing at the Power Plant in the afternoons and evenings, and has to do his studying in the boil CT room, he found time to make the machine by getting up at four o'clock in the morning and going to the carpenter shop to work be- fore his lessons for the day began.
 The machine will soon be auction ed off to the highest bidder in the Second Presbyterian church of Little Rock by the Reverened Hay Watson Smith. Young Jones first became interested in the Agricul- tural School when, as an agricul- tural club member, he attended the Short Course in Russellville last summer by the University of Ark ansas Agricultural Extension Divi- sion. He entered there last fall and worked to pay his expenses, but next year he expects the money from the sale of his machine will be enough to meet his needs for the coming school year.
