Washington to Kansas City in
18 1-2 hours, leaving this place

er until after his death.
The short time in which Miss
Horton made the trip was due
to the courtesy of the st. Louis
Iron Mountain railway officials,
who were apprised of her eager
ness to reach Kansas City and
took special pains to see that
she made the connections. AS
the train out of this city was an
hour late, train No. 6 was held
at Hope for several minutes
past schedule, or until she could
board it. At HoXie, the next
change, Miss Horton had only
eleven minutes in which to
change cars, but with the fur
ther assistance of the officials
she succeeded in catching the
train out for Memphis.

these is a collection of coins of
nearly all nations, some of
which date back to about $50

branch of the service were only
allowed to bring such things as
they could carry in their pock-

if they had known that they
would not have a chance to
bring more of these relics back
with them, many more would
have sent over things they want

FEEDING WORKERS

The First National bank of Cleveland, O., finds 1t
paws to operate restaurant for its employees at an
annual loss Of $4,000.
The bank gets more than that much back in in
creased efficiency of employees who fully
nourished.
The bank made an investigation before It started
the restaurant. 1t found that many employees re-
NAMED abed as long possible in the morning. The
result was lack Of eat what they needed before
they rushed off to work
Restaurant prices high, and the cooking often
Is second-rate. So, many employees failed to get
sustaining lunch at At night they hurried
through their dinners to get to entertainment
This program was repeated, day after day. The
suit was undernourishment.
Office efficiency would drop in the middle Of the
morning. 1t would drop again in the afternoon long
before the hour to quit.
The bank restaurant sells appetizng, sustain
ing food at a price below cost, encourage employees
to eat we'll The loss is returned to the bank in bet
ter work Also fewer employees are laid up by illness
for day week.
Note that the chief cause OF under nourishment
was not lack of money but lack of in diet.
There's point in that for each individual worker.
The time, and money he devotes to providing
himself with well-cooked sustaining food win return
a reward to him in increased earning power and I'm
proved health.

LENDING TO EUROPE

Europe must have American goods. Otherwise
Europe's years Of poverty will be multiplied and
eventually America will be made poorer. too
When one country buys goods from another. it
pays in gold or in exported goods of its own by
selling transportation space its ships. Europe has
no gold for export very little goods and limited ship
ping space.
There remains credit. If Europe can borrow money
in America to pay for American goods, the present
critical situation be met The transaction is
familiar to every small town where the local bank
loans money buy materials semi-manufac
tured goods. Then it turns out the finished prod
uct After the finished product is Sold the mill re-
pays its loan out of the profits.
Europe wishes to copy that process. But, there
is difference in Europe's case. Europe wants to
spend American money in America to take out of
the country American materials. That means making
Europe Americas own rival for Americas products
Borrowed money usually is spent more extrava
ganty than earned money. Europes needs, too are
more Immediately pressing than Americas There
fore unless checks are devised the Europeans would
use their American loans to bid up American prices
So the cost of living would advance again.
American loans to help Europe shouldn't be used
against the American people. Nevertheless the loans
must be made If Europe is to be made supporting
within a measurable number of years and without
international catastrophe. Therefore fair prices must
be established by regulation which is the
only effective There must be a limit, too to
the quantity of American goods sold abroad. This
limit would force the Europeans scatter their pur
chases Thus, Americans wouldn't suffer domestic
shortage of any product by going Europes assist
ance.
Most of the machinery exists in Washington
to prevent profiteers pocketing Americas loans to
Europe and plucking Americans and Europeans SIM
UNANIMOUSLY Little additional authorization would
have to be made by congress Thus safeguarded,
America for the second time can save Europe and
protect American interests as well.

This Precious Pair

We have probably seen the last of that precious
pair Goldman and Berkman who are now at Ellis
Island preparatory bidding the United States last
good bye They have had the run OF the country
for thirty years. Just think OF IT, Almost genera
ton of unrestricted sowing of the seeds of anarchy!
Is IL to be wondered that we have had feeble
growth of holshevism and l. w. W.ism in America?
1t is true that we have had them in jails for
short times even the pententiary where they have
more recently spent a brief period for interfering
with the draft and where they finally qualified
for deportation.
But generally their movements have been free
from restraint Notwithstanding their outrageous
conduct Berlman once suffered short term of
Imprisonment for attempt to assassinate the late
Henry C. Frick Miss Goldman is believed by many
to have inspired, perhaps without thought the
assassination of President Mckinley. 1t directly
after listening a characteristic address Of hers
at Cleveland that the haf-demented Czolgosz went
10 Buffalo and shot the president.
There were few places in the country that
permanently closed against this pair and their
worker at times Dr. Ben Retmann. But there was
one such place, San Diego California, which had
erected about itself such fence that neither big
nor little anarchists could make successful in
vasion Even advanced socialists too fanciful
dreapers were excluded. And once put without the
gates of San Diego, the undesirables seldom
tured back.

LIFE
fRy Dorothy Mae An,

(By Dorothy Mae Anderson)
The morning comes with rosy light
And sheds it's beams affair,
And not cloud is in the sky,
The morning light to mar.
But all, how swiftly toward the noon
The morning fair does glide,
Some clouds are drifting overhead
The smiling sun to hide.
And then the silent evening comes,
And in the golden west,
With gorgeous colors glowing bright
The sun sinks down to rest.
The clouds a sea of glory form
And DER its lighted way,
A path, that seems to reach the shore
OF bright, eternal day.
Lifes morning comes with rosy light
And sheds its beams afar,
And not a sorrow in the way
Life's glowing dreams to mar.
But all too swiftly toward the noon
Does life's fair morning glide;
Some cloud of sorrow drifts o'erhead
Life's brighter side to hide
Then evening comes, the close of life;
And in the golden west,
With heavens glory just ahead
Some pilgrim soul finds rest.
Those clouds Of sorrow blessings prove
They form a lighted way
That leads through the sea OF glory,
To Gods Eternal Day.
