STATE is ORGANIZED FOR
1919 SEAL SALE
First Consignment of Christmas Stick
ers Reach State Headquarters.
PLAN BIGGEST SALE
Campaign will Open on December

With the arrival of twenty million
Red Cross Christmas seals at the
Milwaukee headquarters Of the Wis
consin Anti tuberculosis association,
and five million more on their way
plans are rapidly taking definite form
for the 1919 seal sale, which opens
December 1. The mailing of the seals
to all parts of the state has begun. In
a large number of communities the
sale will be conducted by local branch
les of the anti-tuberculosis association,
civic clubs, commercial clubs, COM
mittees of women's clubs, school sup
erintendents, principals and other pub
lie spirited men and women.
That Wisconsin will have to make q
record breaking sale if it wishes tc
maintain it's position of leadership
among the other states, is evidenced
by the fact that every state in the III
ion is organizing every available force
to win this honor. Although the cam
paign will not open for two weeks a
keen rivalry between the states is
manifesting itself already. The Ma
tional tuberculosis association is
making the most aggressive campaign
in it's history for a tremendous sale
in all the states and has set as goal
ten cents per capita sale.
Wisconsin's statewide selling or
ganization, the efficiency of which has
been largely responsible for past sue
cess of the sale in this state, is prac-
tically completed and will be in full
working order by the opening of the
campaign. Nearly LOO local man
ayers will direct the work Of the i'm
mense force Of statesmen, which repre-
sent the rural communities as we'll as
every city and village. Over $500
rural schools, 400 second-class graded
schools, and large number Of city
schools, including those Of Milwaukee,
are taking part in the sale.
Posters and display cards will b.
spread broadcast over the state, urg-
ing everyone to purchase the seals,
which finance Wisconsin's campaign
for health against tuberculosis and
other preventable diseases. Over 255-
900 posters and cards, prepared by the
National association and as many
more designed and published by the
state association will be a feature OF
the campaign.

USE PLAIN WORDS
Up-to-Date Young People Do Not
Apply Soft Pedal.
Ancient Fashion Of Vague AIlusion 70
Things Is Passe and All Say
What They Mean
About Things

Americans used to come In for 8
good deal of teasing and "joshing' by
Englishmen because of their tendency
to show an exaggerated delicacy in
their choice of words. Especially was
this squeamishness apparent among
American women 40 or so years ago,
Wnen so far from ever speaking of
their own legs they actually called the
uprights of square piano limbs and
would have blushed with modification
II you had mentioned the chair legs.
In England they said that an Ameri-
can woman would never refer to the
breast OF chicken, but referred to
that portion of the bird as the bosom.
Some who laughed at this over
nlceness made the comment that peO-
pie who condemned SO many harmless
words must have evil minds or they
would see no harm in them But really
1t did not indicate evil-mindedness It
was just natural phase of the gen.
eral oversqueamishness of the time.
No wonder that the young woman
who was cautioned never to show
more than the tip Of her toe beneath
her voluminous hoopskirts and who
couldn't to save her life have taken
a deep breath-no wonder she was
OverfaStidious in the choice of her
words. 1t was part of the fashion of
the time. 1t really was bad form as
manners were then framed to speak
with even moderate frankness.
But now the pendulum has swung far
In the other direction, and it is the
Well-bred thing to avoid those circum-
locutions used once to soften words of
too great realism. It is considered a
little oldfashioned or countrified now
to say that you are going to retire
when you might say simply that you
are going to bed Likewise we speak
OF bedrooms, whereas our careful
grandmothers would never have used
SO frank word. They spoke of cham
bers or sleeping apartments.
Sometime ago it was considered the
Well-bred thing to use circumlocutions
when speaking OF death. To certain
extent this is still done, but in general
the progressive young American avoids
such euphemisms as pass beyond" and
pass away" People more frequently
used to say IF anything should hap
pen to me- or Sin case I should be
called beyond" when they meant sim
ply IF | should die" which means
exactly the same thing just us wildly
and has the advantage 4f being
straight Anglo-Saxon.
Old-fashioned fox used to use sof-
tened words to indVate poverty. They
spoke about being lin reduced circum-
stances" They would have consid-
cred it rude to say friend was poor,
though they might have said that he
was a person of moderate means"
IL woman found herself in a posi-
ton where she had to earn her own
living they said that "she had joined
the army of toilers," never that she
had ssgOne to work"
People spoke of salaries, remunera-
tons, compensations and honOrariums,
seldom Of wages or pay. They spoke
of positions and posts. Nowadays the
thoroughly up-to-dfte young person
speaks of her job.-Philadephi In

Labor conditions were big factor
in the live stock market this week.
Saturday of last week, terminal
switchmen in Kansas City went on a
strike but by Monday were all at work
again. The scarcity of good coal
caused SLOW train schedules, and at
the same time cut down receipts. Lib
eraI supplies of live stock arrived late
in the week, and general trade was
thrown off its balance by meager Of
ferings Monday and Tuesday.
Receipts Last Week
Arrivals in the first five days last
week were 53,95G cattle, 4460 calves,
52,525 hogs and $4,000 sheep, COM
pared with $500 cattle, 1914 calves,
63,569 hogs and $4,000 sheep the week
before, and 1880 cattle, 8240 calves,
1O4, 1854 hogs and 1860 sheep year
ago.
Beef Cattle
Monday of last week fat steers
were 25 to 40 cents higher, weakened
late Tuesday and in the past two days
broke so cents to $1.00, except on
common grades, and no test was af-
forded in choice to prime kinds as
none was offered. The general mar
ket is closing Is to 65 cents lower
than week ago. Top steers last
week sold up to $18. They were not
strictly prime. Other short fed steers
sold at $3.50 to $17.25, and grass
fat steers brought $3.50 to $3.50.
Colorado steers brought $3.50 to
$11.75. Cows were up .25 to so cents
early in the week but the advance was
about wiped out before the close.
Mountain cows sold up to s1075, and
native cows up to $3.50. Veal calves
are quoted at $3.50 to $16.50.
StOckers and Feeders
The advancing season and rough
weather tended to cut down demand
for stockers and feeders, and prices
were quoted down so to rs cents.
Feeders are quoted at 1925 to S12.75,
and stockers SIPS to $10.75, stock
cows and heifers $500 to $3.50.
Hogs
With prices that fluctuated so
cents to $100 a hundred pounds, the
hog market in Kansas City this week
maintained an average of 20 to 35
cents above other markets. Early in
the week "a big advance was followed
by sharp decline and then second
rally, but in the past two days, sec
ond break occurred and Friday prices
were Is to 25 cents net higher than
a week before. The top price was
$14.35, and the bulk of the hogs sold
at $13.65 to $14.15. Receipts have
been below actual requirements, de-
clines here being forced by the low
prices elsewhere.
Sheep and Lambs
| In the first three days last week
lamb prices advanced $3.50, selling up
to $16.50 In the past two days
about half the advance was lost and
Friday lambs were quoted at $14.75
| to $15.75. Sheep advanced so to rs
cents and retain 40 to so cents of the
! gain. Yearlings are quoted at $12
to $13, wethers $40 to $11 and ewes
So to $8.75.
Horses and Mules
Prices for horses and mules in the
past two days were lower, owing to
unsettled industrial conditions. Gen
teral declines were placed at $500 to
$1,000 a head. Volume of business
remained large. Too many misfit
horses were offered. Best mules sold
readily, but those short OF good, were
lower.

Attention to Crosswalks.

The necessity for preventing ac-
cidents and especially at crosswalks
was also brought to the attention of
keep motorists and vehicle drivers
back of the building line when COM
ing to a crossing and not stop on
the crosswalk and in beyond the curb
line. Attention was called to section Il
OF the police regulations. which reads:
"A vehicle shall not stop in any
street except near the curb and so
as not to obStruct a crossing, unless
to allow another vehicle. street car
or pedestrian to cross its path"
This. the men were told, would tend
to diminish accidents, which have
been occurring almost daily at street
crossings. BY enforcing the regula-
ton and leaving the crosswalks clear
for pedestrians, accidents would be
reduced to a minimum.
Uniformity in handling traffic and
the using of good judgment in the
operation of the semaphores was also
urged on the traffic men. They were
told to regulate the semaphore and
traffic at the same time, using their
whistles in addition in order to re-
lieve congestion during the busy
hours. The object of the semaphore
was explained and in its operation
responsibility is placed. Courteous
treatment of the public was again
referred to. The men were told to
be determined if necessary in order
to carry out the law, but at the same
time to be courteous.

The desire of the superintendent of

that those engaged in this special
branch of the work shall at all time

the principal topics discussed at the
weekly conference held last Sunday
afternoon in the board room of the
district building. Capt. Albert j. Head l.
ley, head of the traffic squad, presided
at the meeting. which was largely
attended by bicycle. motor cycle and
crossing men.
The men were instructed in salut-
ing senior officers and other points
in connection with their military at
titude. The exchange of official cour-
tesies was impressed upon those pres
ent as being necessary at all tim es
as it would always meet with the
approval of the public. 1t was figured
that this would also promote closer
comradeship among the men and re-
suit in closer co-operation in traffic
work. Capt. Headley said that by

Can Save One-Third.

Scientists estimate that more than
half of the horsepower developed is
lost in friction, and exhaustive ex-
perirGents and investigation, show
that graphite lubricants can save one
third. The saving effected in coal in
machinery, in wear and tear, and in a
hundred other ways, can run into
incomprehensible figures. The cleo
trio furnace graphite, which is finer
than the finest grains of flour, is
scientifically treated by special
process invented by DR.. Edward G.
Acheson, and each grain or particle
of graphite is deflocculated or broken
up into approximately 1000 more
molecules These molecules of
graphite will remain in permanent
suspension in either natural oils or
| distilled water for any length of
time. and thus apparently defy the

the wearing of their caps on the

traffic men present.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Capt. Headley called upon Howard

Star. who gave short talk on traf-
fic in which he impressed the traffic
men with the Importance of using
every energy in the prevention of ac
cidentS and deaths in this manner.
He &C D|imented the force on the eX-

the handling of traffic and the noted
efficiency of the men on the crossings
in the business section of the city.
He told of the growth of the traffic

time the four bicycle men were placed
on duty over twenty years ago up
to the present time. The importance
of detailing men to specialize on
traffic and make it a business and
the necessity for traffic court We're
also referred to as being essential
to the successful conclusion of traf-
fic work in the National Capital.

GAINING
WIDE RECOGNITION
In Def|occuIated Form and
Combined With Oils Has
Found Many Uses.

Graphite in deflocculated form, COM
bined with oils. is now coming into
extensive use in the United States
for many purposes. although it was
recognized and used for a number
of years by many of the European
countries.
1t comes from pure graphite of ex-
IRENE fneness and is subjected to
great heat in order to vaporize all
impurities. These graphite particles
are so fine that they are not visible
under a microscope and can only be
seen by the use of an ultramicroscope
by reflected light. In the defloccu-
lated form, i. is said, it can be ap-
piled with great economic efficiency
in all forms of mechanical work
