And they hardly give you time to
take a smoke,
1t is mighty good to feel
When you're sitting at the wheel,
She'll be running when the bigger
cars are broke.
Oh. it's Din, Din, Din etc.
If it happens there's a ditch you've

Don't be worried, but just shout
Till some poilu boosts you out,
And you're glad she's not so hea-
Wy Hunk a Tin.
After all the wars are past,
And we're taken home at last,
To our reward of which the prea-

When those ukulele Snaps
Will stunning golden harps,
And the aviators all have regular
wings;
When the Kaiser is in hell,
With the furnace drawing well,
Paying for his different kinds of

If they're running short OF coal,
Show ME how to reach the hole,
And I'll cast a few loads down
with Hunk of Tin.
Yes, Tin, Tin, Tin, etc.

Hunk Of Tin

You may talk about your yoitures
When you're sitting around the
| quarters,
| But when it comes 10 getting
blesses in,
Take little tip from me,
Let those heavy motoms be,
Pin your faith to Henry F's old
Hunk of Tin.
Now I've loafed around the war
Six or seven months or more;
1t doesn't matter when did begin,
But I've seen car or so,
And the best one that I know
Is that ridiculed old junk heap,
Hunk of Tin.
Give her essence and de L'eau,
Crank Der up and let her go,
You backfirin, spark plug foulin'
Hunk Of Tin.
Yess, Tin, Tin, Tin.
Chorus:
You exasperating Hunk of Tin,
I've abused you and I've fayed
you,
But by Henry Ford who made you,
You are better than a Packard, Hunk
of Tin.
The paint is not so good,
And no doubt you'll find the hood
Will rattle like a boiler shop en-
route;
The radiator may boil,
And perhaps she's leaking oil,
Then oft times the horn declines
to toot. .-.....

Why Dennis And Stockham Were
Reappointed-Effic is Recog-
Embellishments Cases Satisfac-
torily Disposed of in The United
States Court.
In reappointing Samuel X. Den
mis- District Attorney for Maryland,
and William w. Stockham United
States Marshal, the President recog-
nized the efficiency of these officials.
who have had more to contend with
in the past two years and whose du-
ties were more onerous and exacting
than has fallen to the lot of any of
their predecessors.
During the past year Mr.. Dennis
has handled $40 cases; 644 of these
were criminal cases, all of which re-
suited in convictions except three.
There were % civil cases to which
the United States was a party, two
of which were compromised and one
went against the government. All
of the other Is ended in verdicts for
the United States. Then there were
any number of suits of habeas cor
pus cases instituted to get soldiers
out of the army, all of which were
handled satisfactorily to the Judicial
Department of the government.
The fines, penalties and forfeitures
during this period reached the un-
usual amount CT $25,S14.7S, exceed
ing the sum total in receipts of any
previous year Though the business
OF the court has increased 400 per
cent. since the war began, all of the
business was handled by the usual
force, which takes in Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys James A. Latane and
George E. Kieffer. The best evil
dence that the work was well done
lies in the fact that the docket is
practically clear.
No less active was Marshal Stock
ham, who, with his aids, has been
obliged to remain on duty 1 4 hours
each day since hostilities began. In
addition to keeping tab on the ordi-
nary violator of the law, the Marshal
had to do with alien enemies, boot |
leggers and others who transgressed |
the liquor laws. Until the war broke |
out, the quarterly reports usually !
submitted to Washington carried ac- |
counts for 100 persons in Jail In |
the quarter recently ended there |
were $500. The report itself weigh |
ed % pounds, and when offered at !
the postoffice was turned back, the
law prohibiting the sending of any |
package weighing over four pounds.
1t was necessary to divide the bun
die into seven packages to insure
by mail.
The receipts by quarters during
the year ran far ahead of any in
previous years. From January to
March 81 they were $16,07S.2S; to
June 80, $16,S66.S9; to September
80, $15,097.95, and during the last
quarter ending December 81, all rec
ords were broken, with $21, 861.3S.
In every instance the accounts tailed
to the penny and the Marshal was
by the department on
the accuracy of his returns.
The nominations were sent to the
Senate by the President and confir-
nation is expected at an early date.

young men do not have the chances

pie generally tell a very different story
that times were never better, that

locality. but are scattered uniformly

In statement issued by DR.. Roy
al S. Copeland, president of the
Board of Health, he declared that
NO VACCINE OF ANY KIND HAD
YET BEEN DISCOVERED WHICH
WOULD EITHER CURE OR PRE-
VENT INFLUENZA.
I'VE are facing vicious problem,
and a dangerous one. 1t rs pity
that there are so many doctors in
this city who do not know what the
disease is, how tc diagnose it, or how
to treat it.
1.-THE reports to the Health De-
partment indicate a, present daily in
crease in both diseases. Cases OF
pneumonia have increased steadily
from the first of December, at which
time both diseases reached their low
est point since the epidemic started
in September There is the same ne
cessity now to observe all the pre-
cautions ordered when the epidemic
was at its height.
'Out of the mass of conflicting
opinions among medical men three
features stand out prominently.
First, influenza is a house disease.
Anything that debilitates, such as
worry, great nervousness, overwork,
indiscreet diet, loss of sleep or viola
lions of the hygienic rules may pre-
dispose to the development of influ-

develop secondary pneumonia, and
such cases, under present methods Of
treatment, are extremely fatal. Out
of 1887 cases of pneumonia report
ed to me, 1877 died.
Secondly, another feature that
stands out is the ABSOLUTE FACT
THAT NO VACCINE HAS BEEN
FOUND THAT WILL PREVENT OR
CURE INFLUENZA. There is hope
that the so-called 'Lipo-vaccine,
which can be taken in one dose and
which produces very little reaction
or discomfort, will offer protection
against secondary pneumonia. This
vaccine is being prepared by the De-
partment of Health and is now on
hand, so that anyone can avail him
self of it. 1t is of no value, however,
in guarding against influenza, but
experiments indicate that the NOR
tally from pneumonia following in
fuenZa is greatly reduced.
Thirdly, the important thing to
do when a member of the household
has contracted influenza is to go at
once to bed and to summon a reput-

country
This does not mean however, that there should be

long time that Mexco only chance for solution of her
domestic tangles lies in having unraveled for her in
the same spirit in which Cuba was made law-abding

THE WAGE AND PRICE RACE

With the many reports of strikes by workmen for
higher wages and shorter hours and the increasing
protests by consumers against the rapidly increasing
cost of living may well wonder where this be-
tween prices and wages will end.
Last weeks papers announced the fact that 1907
600 carpenters and other building employees in Chicago
demanding S1O0 an hour and forty-eight hour
week, and that 10000 employees of the International
Harvester company also are demanding $100 an hour
for fortyfour hour week, and close shop. Suppose
these demands the demands of the many thousands Of
striking shpworkers and all other similar demands are
granted what will be the result? The added cost of
ducon will, of course, be added to the selling price
thus still further adding to the cost of living; and this
increased of living will be used as the basis for de-
mands for still higher wages and so the wage-price
race will continue in perpetual circle And the net re-
suit is that one-except perhaps the middIemen who
unduy boost their profsis really benefited bv the
process, while millions of people of limited means or
with fixed salaries or other incomes are com
PEELED, through fault of their own to bear serious
hardships.
At best this hap-hazard plan of wage and price
boosting is temporary make-shift and if unre-
strained, eventual disaster to the nation as well
as the individual This fact is amply illustrated by con-
dtions in Italy France and other European countries
Already the situation in this country is extremely grave
and there is great need for the prompt ascerainmen
and application of effective remedy The problem
is undoubtedly very difficult one-much the most diff
ficui that confrons the country today One thing how
is certain Further increase in the of living
must be checked And while the question a very deli
cate and be handled with care resort to gov
eminent price-fixing, by legal means, of REASONABLE
Profits for manufacturers and middlemen as we'll a
wages ard selling prices The day of unbridled udivd
ua profteerng regardless of the rights and privilege
Of the general public, must be speedily Drought to

What Other Editors Say
The Astounding Prosperity Upon Which the Country
Has Entered

The Astounding Prosperity Upon Which the Country
Has Entered
For months the United States government urged all
business 10 realize that they could sell prosperity
to the country by big bold advertising urged every
body to advertise heavily if they were already advers-
g to increase their expenditures an4 broaden their pub
lic:y campaign and if they we nc advertising, to be
gin n aggressive campaign.
Never was better business advice given, never was
Their greater demonstration of the wis
dom of such advice. Business men every
where commenced to advertise more freely and on
broader lines Many men who had never done much adj
vertsing light and began to advertise, while
old-tme advertisers make larger appropriations and
gave greater heed to the almost mitless power of pub
lefty.
The result is everywhere in evidence The conf
dence displayed by heavy advertising begat confidence
The optimism Of advertisers created OPTIMISM and the
pessmists skunk back into their holes and pulled the
holes in after thempermanently buried downward
as is the just desert of every who becomes pess
mist in America
Many men who at first did not see just how ad-
vertsng could help their individual business, neverthe
less they too if broad in vision and patriotic spirit
began to advertise following the governments ADVICE
and they felt pride in being numbered among the
business leaders who doing their part toward bring
ing prosperity the country and thus helping to de-
sroy the seeds of Bolshevism which frucfy in poverty
soils and which die in soils where prosperity is flour
ishing.
Largely outcome of this splendid work, Wig
orously conducted by the secretary of labor to whom
great credit is due everyone realizes that the
try has taken the right road the fork and instead of
travelling toward the land of anarchy and poverty is
headed straight the road to the land of Astounding
national prosperity and this glorious change is largely
due to the power of advertising which created an air
of optimism and a nation thinketh in its heart so
is it. The nation is thinking in terms of publicity
created prosperity and it realizes as never before that
advertising the great power which has saved from
stagnaton and unemployment and that advertising big
broad, and intelligent advertising will keep the nation
travelling safely on the road to prosperity
Advertising is therefore, as so strongly presented
by the federal government work of patriotism well
as of enlightened selfish business interest-Manufac-

MY ICELAND

~ H, Iceland fair Iceland, my dear old childhood
~ home, I'd like to sail to you again across the
waste of foam In dreams l my happy home,
my home of long ago, where all the farmers planted
ice, and all they reaped was snow l often wonder
why left the floe where l reared, for lands
that sizzle in the sun, where men scorched and
scared; and I would give my halidom to be upon
your shore to see the musk eating ice, and hear
the walrus roar. I used to kick, forsooth because
the kitchen fire would freeze, and one must use a
croscut saw to slice the bread and cheese; and Of
ten, lacking proper pride I'd wiring my hands and
weep, because had to shovel paths through drifts
six furlongs deep. But time has shown me what is
what and also which is which, and if l had those
snowdrifts now I'd think that was rich. Oh Iceland
when my jaded back is sore with prickly heat I'd
like to tread your frozen shore, and revel in your
sleet! Oh, Iceland when my nose is peeled by solar
glow and glare, I'd like to drive along your lanes
behind polar bear! Oh, Iceland is the fairest land
