Takina the PhiIosophic View.

q don't see you out in your auto any more,' said the first north slider to his friend. Last summer you were gone all the time; no day was too hot, no road too dusty, no storm too hard, no discomfort too great to keep you at home"
 "Well," unused the second, "the price of everything is getting so high that auto riding for pleasure is really a luxury and not a necessity, so that it was no trouble at all for me and my wife to find for the first time this sum mer that the roads are hot and dusty, that 1t Is a whole lot of trouble to clean up the machine after long ride, that 1t is much better to sit iR your own rocking chair on the cool front porch at night, while the north wind fans your cheeks, etc., ad in. So now the car stays in the garage a great deal more, there is no wear on the tires and the mechanism is not sub jected to such strain as it used to be, and the car will last much longer."- Indianapolis News.

NEW YEAR FINDS ANTHRACITE INDUSTRY ABREAST WITH SUP
 PLIES FOR CURRENT NEEDS

The New Year begins with no suf- fering owing to anthracite shortage. The fuel situation is so wei lin hand, that barring unforeseen difficulties and abnormal weather during the next two months. there should be adequate supplies of coal for all cur rent needs. It is a fact that con- sumers of domestic sized anthracite are so generally well supplied that they are now particular as to getting the size they prefer. A year ago it was coal they were crying for. Now they desire a certain size and quite unwilling to take anything else
 This condition of the trade holds true in most parts of the wide and pOpulous area in whcih anthracite is the prime domestic fuel. Recently many coal dealers in New York and New England have fully supplied large numbers of customers up until next Spring.
 With many handicaps, impossible to overcome, were a 20 per cent. shortage in the normal labor supply and an influenza epidemic which gripped the coal regions during two months with extreme virulence. Yet despite this, the anthracite industry has succeeded so well in supplying the big requirements for coal that it comes into the New Year abreast of the situation

NOT WISE ABOUT OSTRICHES
Grave Difficulties Seem to Surround Scheme Devised bls Soldier Who
 Wants a Mascot.

IChe machine-gun sergeant at Doug las who wants an ostrich for a mas col. and is willing to hatch it himself if somebody will provide him with an egg, does not know much about os- triches or the task in which he pro- poses to enlist, in the opllion of the Arizona Republican. If he gets the egg Gud is not otherwise restricted, he might as well be mustered out of the service. The Germans will be at peace so far as he is concerned.
 He has perhaps been misled by stories he has heard of the careless, irresponsible way in which the ostrich race is perpetuated, by the laying of the egg in the sand, where it is left to it's own devices until it becomes an ostrich. That may happen in Africa, where there is plenty of sand and heat, but 1t will not work in the climate of Douglas, where, though there is no lack of sand the sun cannot be count ed upon to assist in the business of incubation. The sergeant would have to go to setting.
 Moreover, the ostrich is a bird of slow growth. It would be a long time before one coming forth from the egg could become potent influence in the struggle between autocracy and democracy. By the time it would be in readiness to be taken to Berlin the war would be over and only historians would yet be talking about it.
 We would recommend some other kind of mascot, one of quicker though even of less sturdy and magnificent growth.

To Have House Painted.

It was a simple boyish letter writ ten In London by a youth from Wor- cester, Mass, with a little bit of news, little bit of complaint, and a great big bit of confidence in what he and the Americans were going to do; but the better part by far was: T have saved my pay for some tRle now, and I want to give dad a surprise by hav- ing the old house painted, Won't you please let me know how much it will cost? and I'll send you the money and leave the rest to you, but you mustn't let dad know who is paying for it." That same evening on a train, among the missing and reported as prison CT, read the name of the aviator who wrote the letter-The Outlook.

GET SALT FROM SEA WATER
Old Method of Obtaining Necessary of Life Is Still Practiced In
 Various Places.

The use of salt for seasoning and preserving foods is 50 ancient that the earliest written records refer to 1t, says a writer in Popular Science Monthly. For many centuries prac- tically all the salt used by the human rncc was procured by the evaporation of sea water.
 This method of obtaining salt is still employed in many localities where the conditions are favorable. A flat stretch of sea coast and a hot and dry climate are necessary if salt is to be got from sea water. An ideal locality for this industry is the coast On the Bay of Cadis, Spain.
 The sea water is allowed to collect in shallow basins, barely above high water mark. AS the water evaporates the various salts contained in the sea water crystalline out and form a crust, which IS removed and shoveled in smaN heaps. There the salts undergo the first stage of purifcation.
 The edible salt is drained from the other salts, which constitute the great CT part of the impurities. The edible salt crystallizes out first, while the other salts retain the water and form @ concentrated brine which is allowed to run into ditches dug for that pur- pose.
 The partly purified salt Is then gath cred into large heaps. Occasional rains wash out the more easily soluble impurities, and the hot sun dries the salt on the surface of the pile. AL though it still contains about 15 per cent of impurities it is shipped in large quantities without further refin- ing.

BEHIND THE SCENES IN FRANCE

Back of the stage where our boys swept through to victory the real he roism occurs, there in the pain-swept hospital wards with no excitement to supply the glamour. It takes real hero to be brave when the danger has gone and the days ahead look gray and dreary.
 In France, Clara Savage, Foreign Correspondent for Good Housekeep- ing, turned aside from the tide of men hurrying to the front, to do her part in little hospital behind the lines. Listen to her story of just one of the heroes of the American advance:
 A boy in the opposite corner of the room wanted a letter written. To my girl" he explained in low voice. Bring your chair up close so the other fellows won't hear everything I say"
 I obeyed, the the letter began: It was the simplest and most straight forward of love-letters. The writer did not search for polished phrases; the words came tumbling out faster than I could write them, straight from the heart, beautiful in their sincerity. Then he said something about their having a little house of their own sometime, and there he paused.
 Would you tell herr" he asked me.
 "What?" I asked, taken by sur prise.
 His head was done up in bandages so that only one eye showed; his right arm was in a sling. He dismissed the arm wound as nothing. It'll be all right" he said. q can work for her. but---Tva lost my right eye, and my face is badly disnsured." I couldn't say anything for min ute. I felt the other eye watching me. Such courage and pluck and straight forwardness as were in that look!
 ''It must be pretty hard for gir! to have a man come home mutilated the way I am,'' he said. Do you think it will make difference to her? Do you think a girl can love man with a face that has been all smashed to pieces and a glass eye?" There was only one thing to say, and I believe it is the truth. I said: "Tf she loves you, she won't care what your face looks like. She loves you because she found you fine and good and worth loving and she will love you more now because you are so brave"
 '"Then. I'll tell her." he said.
 And tell her he did, gently but as trutllful1y as he had told me. As I wrote those words that some girl in America will read, I pitied her from the bottom of my heart, and yet knew that if she is the kind of a girl that boy thinks she is, she will be brave and will love him even more now, because he so much needs her love.---January Good Housekeeping.

Beginning of Aeronautics
 Encouraged by Washington

The important part now played by aerial craft in warfare and in peace would perhaps not be so surprising to our ancestors, if they could return to earth, as we sometimes imagine. There is ground for belief that George Washington considered the balloon, although in his day it was very crude CoRtriyance, capable of development to g point where it Would be useful to mankind in gen. eral." Gen. Washington was one of the patrons of the first balloon ascen- sion in the New World, which took place at Philadelphia 126 yee~s ago today, Jan. 9, 179S. The aeronaut was a Frenchman, Joan Pierre Blanchard, who later made a balloon trIp across the English channel. President Washington was an inter ested observer of the ascent, and before Blanchard stepped into the car the President gave him a letter, which ran as follows;
 George Washington, President of the United States of America, to all to whom these presents come:
 The bearer hereof, MT; BlaKlh- ara, citizen of France, proposing to ascend in a balloon from the city of Philadelphia at 10 o'clock a. m. this day, te pass in such direction and to descend at such place as circum- stances may render most convenient; these are, therefore, to recommend to all citizens of the United States, and others, that i4 his passage, descent, retUFR, or sojourneying elsewhere, they oppose no hlndrance or mC,esta- ton to the said MT. Blanchard.
 And that, pp the contrary, they receive him and aid him with that humanity and good will which may render honor to their country, and justice to an individual so distin- guished by his efforts to establish and advance an art in order to make it useful to mankind in general.
 Given under my hand and Ssal at the City of Philadelphia, this 9th day of January, 1793. and of the Inde- pendence of America the seven teenth.'7
 A contemporary account of Blanchard's ascent and journey, which occupied 46 minutes, covered Is miles, and ended in Deptford township, New Jersey, says that "an immense concourse of spectators as sembled at the Prison Court to see the ascent" A band played during the time of infating, and several cannon were fired from dawn of the day until the moment of elevation. The account continues:
 AS soon as the clock struck 10, everything being punctually ready, MT. Blanchard took 8 respectful leave of all the spectators, and re- ceived from the hands of the Presi- dent paper; at the same time the President spoke few words to this bold adventurer, who immediately ieaped into his boat, which was painted blue and spangled. After a few minutes, the wind blow ing from the porthward and west mense height, and then shaped its course toward the southward and eastward Several gentlemen gall loped down the Point Road, but soon los. sight of it, for it moved at rate Of 20 miles an hour. Great numbers who had neglected to purchase tick els, were afflicted with considerable regret at not having been present in the Prison Court to see the prepara- tions, and to witness the undaunted courtenance of the man who thus sublImely dared to soar through the regions of the air"

PARIS. April CA new body TO lie
known as the Prisoners of War Com
OF suh-committces of the Peace Con-
ference. Tho need OF such a commits
sion is made apparent by two impor-
taut questions concerning war prison
crs that now face the conference.
The first OF these Is in regard TO the
disposition OF the 100000 Russian
prisoners still held in Germany. The
commission is engaged in the task OF
working out in all its details a clause
relating to war prisoners which is tc
be embodied In the peace treaty.
Provision will be made for the re-
patr!ation of these hordes OF underfed
and unhappy Russians who have beer
In filthy German camps since the carly
campaigns IN the eastern theatre. There
has been 10 haste Until TOW to return
these men to Russia simply because
they presented no problems so long a:
they remained behind the barbed wire
OF the prison pens. but now they are ar
important factor IN view Of the menace
OF Bolshevism and for safety's sake
must be removed.
The chief task OF the commission
however. as the correspondent OF TIL
Sun understands, will be to arrange
with Germany for the return OF th'
German war prisoners in France, mum
bering about 100000. Various ques
tions. such as payment for their upkeeI
and compensation for the labor of thes'
prisoners, remain TO be settled,
1t Is emphasized however, that tn

be confused in any way with the de
mand of the German Government 70

LLOYD GEORGE AND CLEA1ENCEAU APPROVE WILSON'S STEP;
ITALIANS STAND BEHIND THEIR PREMIER IN PEACE CRISIS
PRESIDENTS ACTION REVIVES GERMAN HOPE FOR n POLN
Will Not Yield Saar and
Danzig, Says Fehrenbach

COPENHAGEN, April 26.-
Konstantin Fehrenbach, the
president Of the German Ma
tional Assembly, speaking at
Freiburg yesterday, said he was
certain that President Wilson was
inclined to insist on his fourteen
points. 1t was very possible that
a plenary session would be con-
voked to decide regarding the
signing of a preliminary peace
treaty, as we'll as to cooperate in
the peace negotiations.
"We are in no doubt as to what
it would mean for the south
western corner Of the empire if
we refused to sign the peace
treaty" said Herr Fehrenbach.
II take it that in any case we will
not sign a peace which leaves
prisoners still in captivity and
does not bring the raising of the
blockade. Neither will we sign
a peace which surrenders the
Saar region to our enemies and
promises DanZig to the Poles.
1.-THE Government and Parlia-
ment jointly bear a tremendous
responsibility, but behind them
stands the entire German nation.
Our enemies must know, and it
must penetrate their countries
we will not accept any dictated
terms and will not be a slave ma
ton"
