ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES


MICH ADO ABOUT NOTHING"
Ere the Teuton sang his Deutschland
song
In far Shantung was Confucious born,
A babe, no doubt, whose lungs were
strong
And woke the echoes night and morn.
and little did the small CONTIGUOUS
dream,
Although. in sooth, a precocious chap.
That the day would dawn when a ruth
less scheme
Would be cooked up by the willy Jap.
And Senators of the Z. S. A.
Who had scarcely heard his name be-
fore.
Would weep Ger the plan for giving
away
place so rich in Confucian lore.
What though they previously thought the
seer,
Whom countless shrines in honor keep,
Was simply a town or jardiniere,
They've sworn a solemn oath and deep
That China shall not lose the land
Where the holy man first saw the light,
And maybe some day they'll understand
That the Jap is not "too proud to
fight"

INDUSTRIES ENDORSE
WARTIME PROHIBITION

The War Prohibition Committee of
Massachusetts sent to the big indus
tries of New England these questions :
'Does the management favor prohibit
ton as war measure? Do the EN-.
ployees favor it?'
Twelve days from the date Of mail
Ing 318 replies had come in, BOT of
which were favorable and II opposed.
The arrangements were virtually I'M
animous for war prohibition and many
insisted that it should be permanent,
Among the employees 226 concerns re-
ported favorable, As doubtful, 80 made
no statement. Some factories had taken
polls which showed about seventy-hve
per cent favorable.
This harmonizes with the polls taken
In B Of the larger British cities which
showed 166,693 for and 78,066 against
war prohibition. AS usual, the larger
and more important concerns took
special interest in the letter, many OF
the managers adding word Of special
emphatic opinion.

TO OVERCOME WIRE TROUBLE
Some Owners Have Renedied. Diff
Guilty by Holding Tube In Place
With Wooden Blocks.

Owners Of many medium and low
price cars have endless trouble with
the wire controls for the ignition unit
and carburetor, the trouble being due
chiefly to the inability of the control
to move the part because the tube
housing the wire moves with the Wlres
To operate properly the tube must re-
main fixed, otherwise there will be lit
tie IL any movement, and any opera
ton of the spark advance lever will
produce no results. OF course, the
best thing to do is to get a good wire
control, but some owners have over
come the trouble in the existing con-
trolls by holding the tube In place by
means Of wood blocks. A wooden
block is cut In two and two grooves
cut in each so opposite grooves coin
eide. The tube is then soldered at
points the same distance apart as the
grooves. so that the solder rests in
the grooves. The blocks Of wood are
bolted to the engine frame, which
usually is the most accessible part.

The government Is making compul-
sorry the things the w. G. T. U. has adj
vocated for forty years, and people
who did not know the organization op-
posed anything but drunkenness, or
helped anybody but drunkards' fami-
lies, are having new revelations. / be-
Heve the best war work we can do Is
to make the world safe for our sol
diers. We ought to knit and sew, but
as do hear the Master say "These
things ought We to do and not to leave
the other undone."
In times of peace the w. G. T. q.
prepared for war; and now that war is
on we cannot afford to sit down and
spin yarns to make foot covering
while doing nothing to remove the
thorns and briers from the pathway.
There may have been a time when
woman had sphere; If so this war
has wrecked the boundary lines and
she Is free. The exodus Of woman
from the home Is one Of the by-pro-
ducts of Prussian militarism that was
not included in the calculations of
Frederick the Great when he started
the ball to rolling which has landed all
Europe in the trenches.
A little boy said, Spa, what is stag
banquet?' "a stag banquet my son, is
q banquet where there are no women"
'Well, pa, lie a banquet where there
are no women Is a stag banquet, what
would a nation without women be?"
And the man had to acknowledge 1t
would be stag-nation. I don't know
what you think about it but I think to
secure "Votes for Women" is real

Alleged, Maybe.

A witness in an attempted-murder
case was being cross-eXamined by a
bumptious young lawyer who appar-
emily had the idea that the secret Of
successful legal proceedings was the
confusion of the witness. During the
trial there had been a good deal Of
lively repartee between opposing at
torneys as to hearsay evidence.
Nov, then" said the bumptious one
to the witness, "are you perfectly sure
that the revolver was discharged"
The witness eyed the law-juggler for
a moment and replied, swell, maybe l
only got hearsay evidence that it was.
Fact is, I merely heard the report"

ALCOHOL AND MARKsMANsHIP.

A member of the French army medi-
cal corps has recently made public the
results Of investigations concerning
the effect Of alcohol on craftsmanship.
He chose the best shots from among
the non-commissioned officers and SOL
diers of his regiment, says the organ
OF the American Medical association,
and had them fire series at 200 me-
tiers. They were then given a dose OF
brandy, approximately 80 gm., after
which they fred a second series similar
to the first. These experiments were
repeated at different times and under
different conditions, always with iden-
teal results. 1t was found that the
efficiency OF the marksmen afteK the
absorption Of the alcohol had depreci-
ated 80 per cent in rapid firing and
30 per cent In slow firing.

Labor and War,

Figures made public by the war de-

concerning what labor has done for

of the United States has been sup
piled with $4,000 overcoats, $685.
600 wooden coats, 10,507,000 pairs Of
wooden breeches and 55,958,000 pairs
Of wooden socks. Motor trucks to the
number of 17,99S have been sent over
seas, and $3.50 motor ambulances
have been provided. These are mere
ly a few items that show what it
means to speed up for victory.
