Air Raid Stories.

In booklet recently published the
Bishop Of Stepney tells some amusing
stories of the behavior of poor people
In the East end of London during the
raids.
One woman dwelling in a big block
of model dwellings (writes the au-
thor) said to me, "You see, we're quite
safe, because all here are contrite"-
a fine frame of mind, only she meant
concrete.
Another woman, riverside dweller,
who caught sight of Zeppelin when
she was out in her back yard in one
Of the earliest raids, said: $50 I runs
into me kitchen, and in minute or
two I looks out at the front door, and
blest if it wasn't waiting for me there.

Law on Pulling Down Trousers lie

Law on Pulling Down Trousers Leg.
It is hard to believe that a man who
was sober would spend half a minute,
or seven seconds, in pulling down one
leg of pair of trousers. But we cam
not say as matter of law that if he
was sober he did not do so. What we
do say, however, is that when man
has at least the whole highway, includ-
ing a sidewalk devoted to foot passen-
gers alone, to choose from, 1t is not the
act Of prudent man who wants to
pull down one leg of his trousers to
select street railway track eight Sec
onds around and away from a corner
from which an electric car may emerge
at any moment, and to stoop over to
pull down his trousers without again
looking up until ne is run oversee

WHO CAN RISE TO OCCASION?
Name OF Man Capable of Formulating
"UmbrelIa Regulations" Will /.
Live in History.

With the passing Of each rainy day
it becomes increasingly strange that
no benefactor of the race has been
prodded, gouged or spattered into pre-
pairing manual of Umbrellas" Pe0-
pie have been carrying some sort Of
protection against the rain ever since
anybody can remember, yet the only
thing they have really learned to do
well is to lose umbrellas. No two
persons, not even lovers, can walk un.
der one umbrella without getting wet,
and raincoats probably were first de-
vised by man who tried to carry an
umbrella over his wife'S hat. What
excuse is there for the person who
goes through crowded street holding
an umbrella before him in charge
bayonets fashion? An apology does
hot exactly meet the requirements
after the tip of an umbrella rib has
been thrust into some ones eye.
Folded, the umbrella is just as dam
gerous, when some one comes plung-
ing along the sidewalk holding the
umbrella at an angle of about As de
grees ahead of him, tripping every
one but himself. Then there Is the
person who tucks the handle under
the arm, so that an innocent person
may become speared on the sharp end
which sticks out like 60-foot tele'
phone pole on 15-foot truck. Fur.
thermore, wet umbrellas never were
intended as partitions between seats,
even at a motion-picture theater.
There is no desire to distract the best
brains Of the country from consider
alton Of war problems. but some sort
Of umbrella regulations are needed.

THE PART TIME SCHOOL
Davenport Democrat.)


Davenport will soon be introduced
to the part time school, the latest plan
for making sure that working boys
and girls get an education, carrying
them thru the eighth grade at least:
and that those who have gone that far
in school shall go farther or show that
they are not loafers.
The federal and state governments
are both behind the movement, which
Is embodied in the Smith Hughes act
as passed by congress. State and ma
ton pay part of the expense, and the
Iowa law passed in conformity with
the Smith Hughes act laid upon cities
like Davenport the obligation to estab-
fish the school.
1t is to be opened early next month
at the high school, with some 400 boys
and girls eligible here. Boys and
girls of II to Is years of age who have
work permits can then work only forty
hours a week, and must attend the
part time school at least eight hours a
week. preferably divided between two
Gays. Tho sessions will be at the high
school, whore provisions are being
made for the innovation.
Employers Of minors who will have
to attend the school have generally
commended the plan, and are expected
to cooperate with it. The schools are
to be made quite inexpensive to the
students. who will not be required TO
have text books, and the courses of in
struCtion will be along the most prac-
tiral lines for fitting them for fuller
and more useful and profitable lives.

SEPT. -. 1897.

SEPT. ~, 1887.
Marcus Alonzo Hanna, politician. and
friend and adviser OF one OF our gent
lest and most beloved presidents, Will
liam Mckinley. was born In Ohio In
1887! His father had been n physi-
cion, but when Mark was lad he
moved TO Cleveland and went into the
wholesale grocery business So the
boy naturally went into business fol-
lowing his school training.
His methods were so successful that
he was head of a company which built
and operated fleet of lake vessels and
which controlled several mines when
he was still young-40 years OF age.
Then no took time from work for pol
tiles.
The methods that made him sue
cessful business man made him also
q good politician. He managed the can
vass which secured the nomination OK
Mckinley for president and managed
with the utmost skill the campaign
against Bryan and free silver" In
1896. He was made senator and was
known rs one of the presidents most
valued advisors. In fact, he was even
thought a presidential possibility-for
he was leader of the conservative ele-
ment Of the republican party. while
Roosevelt was leader of the progress
sive clement. But his death, In 1908,
put an end to such speculatlons.
He also took an intelligent interest
in the question Of capital and labor,
and applied his theories so successfully
TO his business that he was not troub-
led with strikes against his manage

WHAT THE AUTO SHOWS.
CBurlington Hawkeye)

Asked when. in his opinion, the price
of automobiles is coming down, Bur-
lington motor car dealer shook his
head and replied Not soon. AS long
as people are buying cars like they
are now the price will stay up and it
is new and late model cars that people
want" he added.
who's buying mostly, the farmer or
the city dweller?"
Farmers and retired farmers are
heavy buyers, when it comes to city
people you will have to divide your
classification again. The salaried peo-
pie are not good customers now, nei-
Their are those who have always been
considered fairly wealthy or well-to-
do Our biggest customers are among
those who work for wages. It's like
this: Wages are higher than ever be-
fore and hours are shorter. The man
who made from $3.50 to $3.50 day
is making twice or three times as
much now. He's making more money
than he ever made before in his life
aud he has more leisure. One OF the
first things he thinks Of Is car.
There you have It. He has the money
for a car, the time to run it and the
inclination. Result, n sale. So you
see, it is the farmer and the wage
Garner who are our best customers
now. And we are having difficulty to
find cars to meet the demand
The above conversation is rather il
Illuminating. 1t was about automobiles,
hut it holds good for many other
things. The war prosperity for the
wage Garner and the agriculturst has
practically opened up a new market
for many things. Production Is not
keeping up with this new demand
Hence high prices. OF course there is
profitecring but the fact of the matter
remains the old story Of supply and
demand A new demand is opened
the supply is inadequate. The one So
luton seems to be greater production

FITZPATRICK CoRRososrEs rnsTsR.

ADDED to the pronunciamentos of
William Z. Foster one Of the most in
fuential and active leaders of the
steel strike whose l. w. w. connections
and bolshevist propagandism have
been lately exposed is the declaration
of Fitzpatrick, official leader of the
strike made at Pittsburgh that it is the
intention of the strike to "socialize"
the steel industry.
If that is the purpose CO the strike
as understood and proclaimed by it's
leadership it becomes easy to under
stand Gary's refusal to confer upon
proposition that proposes to take over
the property and control of the steel
corporation. 1t will be remarked and
recollected that there has been no pro-
posal to pay for the property or re-
imburse the stockholders when the
steel industry Is to be thus "socialized.'
On the contrary Mr. Fosters idea as
expressed in his monographs and prop
uganda pamphlets stands to the effect
that all owners Of capital are thieves
and legal prey. He would strip them
Of their booty" and have the working
class put an end to capitalism with the
general strike" Mr.. Gary evidently
assumes that Messrs. Foster and Fitz-
patrick have begun operations looking
to the contamination they seem so
earnestly to desire.

he is, sees the pit that Is being digged
for organized labor by such demands

Naturalization of railroads and by
such leaders of the steel workers for

violence. Usually In steel centers,
packing house cities and such the first
thing the local authorities did upon
declaration of strike was to close the
saloons. This action has been pallia-

from adjacent towns.
Now It will be different. Whisky
will be difficult, If not impossible, to
get, and IL any Is obtained the price
will be enough to stagger u robust

You can expect, therefore, that this
