HOLDING BONDS IS THRIFT.
Selling Liberty Issues for Less Than
They Are Worth Is the Height
of Folly.

Two things are true when Liberty
Bond changes hands for less than the
highest market price. One person is
selling something for less than its
value; another person is lucky in strik-
ing a bargain; one is a chump, the
other is fortunate
You may argue the one is forced to
sell. Possibly true, but his banker will
lend him nearly the amount of his in
vested capital on his bond, or will show
him way to get the highest possible
value.
The record of the sale and purchase
Of Liberty Bonds shows one thing
plainly, that virtually all the Liberty
Bonds that are sold are finding their
way into the hands of thrifty persons
who realize that the bonds are selling
for less than their real value. These
purchasers viii hold the bonds until
maturity when they will be at par, and
undoubtedly at considerably above par
in narly every case.
II there is a more decided example
Of thrift than this, the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington would like to

bid for contracts IN Great Britain
The bare technicality that no actual
contract could be made until peace
was signed amounted to little. Jack
and Jill cannot marry until they
reach legal age, but they may 50 IN
der stand each other that the wedding
takes place the moment the statutes
permit. There is no community in
which young persons do not make 'ex-
pensive purchases the day they be-
come legally qualified to manage their
own estates Presumably all the
seniors of the army and navy have
found plans as to their expenditures
when they leave active service for
the retired list.
For all we know TO the contrary an

Eshmen may have been arranging the

AS a matter of fact, while war has
done much to destroy business be-
tween contending nations there have
been innumerable cases of illicit deal

Dons with many useful articles. It

found its way to the backs of
Napoleon's soldiers Admiral Ma
han has told US how shamelessly
Americans traded with British Gus
toners during the war of 1912. Was
cotton smuggling unknown IN our
civil war? These facts may have
their parallels. Private agreements
of Germans with British, French and
Italian merchants may have lasted
Throughout the bloody contest of our
day. There were stories of inteIli-
gent young japanese familiar with
English and German, who always
seemed to have lucrative employ

Twelve years ago an unwise step
on the part of Theodore Roosevelt
gave the Germans a chance at our
home market. Some of the duties of
1909 should have been higher. The

influx, but we know that the Deutsch-
land managed to elude the British
feet and it is probable that the total
of struggled goods would run into
many figures President Wilson,

A Carbonized Distributor.


Oftentimes the man who operates
his own car and makes all minor re-
pairs is confronted with difficulty in
locating the cause of a troublesome
ignition arrangement, which, in many
instances will cause the motor to step
etirely when operating at low speed,
and to misfre on one or more cylin-
ders at each revolution when the mo-
tor is accelerating.
+ AS a rule the thoughts are direct
ed to either the carburetor, spark
plugs or wiring system, which in turn
reveive faithful attention, by thor
ough cleaning and perfect adjusting,
but without avail Then the last, but
most important parts of the ignition
system, the magnetic, is removed and
taken apart for inspection. And
Presto! The source of the trouble is
clearly discovered. On the distribu-
tor plate, which contains alternate
segments of metal and insulation,
have formed thin coating of carbon
from the revolving brush. This coat
ing, undoubtedly caused by a brush
that was composed of too soft a car
bon compound and aggravated per-
haps by a, little lubricating oil coming
in contact with the distributor plate,
caused the carbon to adhere to the
plate and form a coating over it
When the carbon becomes thick
enough it acts as a conductor and al
lows current to pass from one seq
ment to the other, thereby interfering
with the ignition system, causing one
or more of the cylinders to misfre.
This difficulty can be readily over
come in few minutes by means of a
piece of very fine French emery
paper which both removes the carbon
and brightens the metal segments of
the distributor.
A good many people have felt that
wireless telegraphy is the greatest
of ali the wonders of modern invent
ton and scientific discovery. They
do not, ofcourse, fully understand the
transmission of messages by telegraph
or of the voice by telephone, because
no one, not even scientists, under
lands electricity; but at least there
is a material connection between the
sender and the receiver of the COM
munication and wire seems to explain
something of the mystery to the nor
NAL mind, whether it is really does or
not. 1t is at all events something tan
gible to cling to. But messages that
are sent into space and go wandering
over the earth to be picked out of the
air by any chance operator of a wire
less instrument who may catch and
interpret it, Or even in these latest
days, draw a spoken message out of
the ether-these things have an I'M
canny suggestiveness, as of some
thing occult, says Indianapolis Star.
They hint at telepathy, for if thoughts
may be propelled by electricity
through the atmosphere for thous-
ands of miles, why not transmission
of wireless messages by the battery
of mind? -Ex

Ere Peace Was Signed

Before the signing of the peace
treaty a British official received from
Bonn in Germany a printed and illus
trated trade catalogue passed by
British cesor. He at once called the
attention of a higher authority to
this, and was informed that such COM
munications were permitted, and
could be approved as long as no actu-
al contracts were made between Brit
ish traders and enemies. In other

Claiming Gaining Ground
UNITED Press Service)

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Govern-
ment action in the steel workers
strike in the South, in resolution
unanimously adopted by the United
States Senate at Washington yester-
day, at Washington, was termed by
Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who intro
duced the resolution, as "The first
skirmish in an industrial war in the
United State"
The resolution provides for an in
quiry by the Senate Committee on
Labor to determine whether the situa-
ton warrants congressional action.
Adoption of the resolution followed
receipt information of growth of
strike disorders at Farrell, Penna.
and Buffalo, N. Y.
In Farrell, where two persons were
killed and elven wounded, the situa-
ti0n was reported by Mayor Moody to
be beyond control. In response to his
appeal Sheriff Gibson wired that 800
deputies were being sent to Farrell.
Two additional companies of State
Constabulary are being sent into the
Western Pennsylvania Steel District.
Three riot calls in Buffalo last
night were followed by another out
break this morning.
With strikers apparently gaining
ground in other steel districts, in
dustrial warfare continued in the CEN
ter of the Pittsburg district, where
gains and LOSSES of men quitting and
returning to work in numbers seems
about evenly divided. Strikers claim
ed about 5000 additional men out
there; but that is denied by steel COM
pany officials.
The biggest victory won by the
strikers was when the Lackawanna
Steel Plant at Buffalo closed. 1t is
expected that the Donner Steel Plant
in that city will shut down tonight or
tomorrow.

UNFORTUNATE
OF
A WOMAN BY
AN OFFICER
PatrOlman Arthur Peck
Takes A Shot At A Sup
posed Burglar In Full
Flight In The Dark, And
Hits A Woman Who Was
Not Visible, But Was In
Line.

While making his rounds about $3.50
o'clock last night Officer Arthur Peck
shot and seriously wounded woman
who was not within his sight OF
knowledge; but by one of those
mysterious sequences of circum-
stances that occur now and then was
within the line of a bullet the officer
sped after one whom he had taken to
be an escaping housebreaker.
The unfortunate woman is an elder
ly Mexican female, named Constanza
de Joya.
1t is related that in making his
rounds of the outlying localities Of
ffcer Peck had come down off from the
residential district on Cavalry Hill,
and had crossed railway tracks and
arroyo to North Morley Avenue. Ap-
preaching the residence of Mr.. Henry
Levin he noticed a man entering the
premises.
Near the Levin residence Peck met
a military policeman, and together
they entered the yard, going around
to the back of the house, where they
saw light in a detached building
which houses the servants in the
Levin household.
AS they approached the building
the officers noticed the light inside
was extinguished, which aroused their
suspicious of the occupants of the de-
tached house. Knocking at the door
Officer Peck demanded that those in
side come out, stating he was an of
fcer, but receiving no response. Co.
ing to a side door he repeated the de-
mand, showing his star to a face that
appeared behind the glass, but receiv-
ing no answer.
Returning to the front door the Of
ficer attempted to force his way into
the house, when he heard shattered a
low window at the back of the house.
Running around the house he saw
someone making off in the dark at top
speed. That was a boy one of sew
eral who had escaped from the house,
The daily morning oasis., 1919-09-24

through fright, believing the officers
persons intending them harm. Two
women, Constanza de Joya and her
daughter, had preceded the boy in es-
Gaping through the window, but they
were not visible, and he saw only the
outlines of the fleeing boy.
The officer called to the boy "Halt!"
But the call seemed only to accelerate
his flight. Repeating the call availed
nothing. Then the officer drew his
gun and took two shots at the fleeing
figure, but that failed to stop him.
Following the fugitive the officer
trailed him across the back end of the
Marsh property, and then gave up the
pursuit, the pursued having disappear
ed in the darkness.
Returning to the house Peck was in
formed that a woman had been shot
In that vicinity. Drawn by the shots
several assisted in a search for the
woman reported shot. She was To-
Gated finally on Wayside Drive. some
little distance away.
The woman's daughter, who was
was with her, stated that thew we,e
IN the house with boy. The an
proach of the officers frightened them.
as they believed them intending harm
so they broke out of the back window
and escaped in the dark, the girl and
her mother going ahead of the bow.
AS they were running they heard the
shots, and her mother exclaimed
"lhey have killed me-"
Doctor Gustetter was called and ar
rived shortly after. Examination de-
vetcped that she had been shot in tire
abdomen, through the liver. First aid
was given the unfortunate woman,
and she was taken to st. Joseph's
hospital, where at 1 o'clock this MORN
ing she was reported still alive.
After the unfortunate occurrence
Peck went to the sheriff's office and
gave himself up.
