nouncements that they will strike in a

higher than at present. All reports
from Washington are that the presi-

small raise was final, and 1t seems that
the railroad employees are determined
that II shall not be final.
According to the officials of the
road, a strike like that which will be

TWO-SEVEN-FIVE.
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.

I can pick you the fourteen points,
each in its place.
I have them all sorted and carded
I can argue with Article y to its face
And tell you just how it's regarded.
I'm a shark at such symbols, but can
not contrive
To solve this mysterious twoLseven-
five.
It's little too low for the batting of
Cobb.
Too high for the wheat guarantee:
1t isn't quarterly extra from Schwab,
Or tip for a restaurant tea;
Not the price of a stock, nor the
length of a drive,
But what can it be then? This two
seven-five?
1 remember the scandal of three
twenty-nine,
I remember the fifteen block puzzle
l remember when sixteen-to-one was
To make men snarl, muzzle to
muzzIe
All these I remember, but now we
arrive
At a new combination-this two
seven-five.
Men will tell me the figures and fu-
lures Of Steel,
Without even a slight hesitation,
And how many calories go to a meal,
And the years of my life expectation.
But no one, it seems. of all people
alive
Will explain me the meaning of two
seven-fiye.

eighty-seven Martha Washington
candy stores now established as
healthy Offsprings from his historic
store in this city located at 505
Twelfth street northwest.
Mr.. Sheetz. sometimes called the
millionaire fifcr," and honored in
Washington because of his phIlan-
thropic activities, has organized his
various establishments in such a fam
lily spirit and so generated good will
in his customers that he has never
had to resort to advertising to sell
good goods. He has always had all
the business he could handle.
Combination of business and pleas
ure has proven 10 be good business
for Mr.. SheetZ. who has certainly
worked out a successful recipe along
these lines. Mr.. Sneelz lives next
door to his store, his house being
Eorgeously furnished along Colonial
lines, containing many rare historic
fixtures.
Eighteen years ago Mr. Sheetz first
put the Martha Washington candies
on the market. He says that the
discovery of his formula was a mis-
take-one of those white flashes of
error which have more than once
turned out phenomenal. But more
than the mistake in discovering the
formula, Mr.. Sheetz dwells on the fact
that when he was asked what kind
the mismade candy was, he said. on
the spur of the moment: Martha
washington. Right there, Mr.. Sheetz
says, / made 10000.
Mr.. Sheetz only day before yester-

for his success. He has one

HOW TO FIGHT THE
DEVIL
By the Rev. Charles sfeiIIe,
ktan Writer on Relirious Topf~s

'Nh'''t oH
One OF the mysteries of the Bible
record is the story Of how Jesus
could have been tempted to sin
when it is said that he was sinless
and perfect.
Let's remember-and this should
comfort most of us-that it is not
sinful to be tempted-it is sinful
only when we yield TO temptation.
Temptations test us. They tested
Jesus 1t is an inspiration to know
that he was tempted in all points
like as we are"-that's why He can
help us when we're tempted.
Jesus was tempted three times
first, through bodily appetite; sec
ond, TO gain noble ends by false
methods: third, TO gain success by
wrong doing.
And this about sums up the vari-
ETY. OF ways in which Satan tempts
us.
How did Jesus overcome tempta-
tion? Did He argue? No. He
quoted the Bible. He commanded
Satan to depart. Resist the devil
and he will fee from you
What happened then? Here's
what the Bible says: Angels minis
tered unto Him. They supplied Him
with food. He would not turn
stones into bread at the command
Of Satan; now He was fed by angels.
He would not call on the angels TO
uphold Him as He hurled himself
rashly from the top of the noun
tain, but now He was sustained by
them. He demanded worship for
God alone. and now He received
service from these servants Of God
Just as Jesus was tempted-and
overcame. so may we likewise win
against the assaults of the devil
and in the same way.
