strong minded, assertive. conceited,
quick tempered. passionate, often

most women desire to be blondes, and
the proof of it is that whereas a
blonde never dyes her hair, many
brunettes bleach theirs to a golden
hue.
On the stage the ladies of the bal
let and the chorus wear blonde wigs.
and the only possible reason to give
for this is that managers believe
they look more attractive to the au-

BECOMES CHIEF ENGINEER AT
FIELDS PLANT

The following appeared in the motor
division Of the Sunday News of De-
troit yesterday:
c. c. Thomas becomes chief engin-
eer of the Fields Manufacturing Co.,
of Owosso, on June 1 and Detroit
thereby loses one of its colony of
young veterans of the automotive in
dustry. Thomas has been identified
with several branches of work, and
has been successfully member of the
experimental engineering department,
service manager and sales engineer Of
the DENLY Motor Truck Co. His
knowledge Of truck equipment is ex-
ceeded by no man of his craft, and as
student of transportation problems
he has been notably successful.
The output of the Fields Manufac-
turing Co., much of which comes to
truck and automobile manufacturers
in Detroit and goes elsewhere in the
state and outside, consists largely of
parts and among engineers Thomas
is regarded as being peculiarly fitted
for his new undertaking. Oddly
enough the first work Thomas did was
for this company years ago, when he
hardly dreamed that some day he
would return to it in high official
capacity.

THE WALTER L. MAIN CIRCUS
DRAWS BIG CROWD
A Bright Clean Show Full of Inter-

Few circuses-large or small-have
visited Lancaster in the past that

prediction is that the tent will be pack

"a big feature acts. The management
presents the world known troupe of
Downie Elephants. These ponderous
animals are handled and performed by
Miss Dottie Snyder, the only lady
elephant trainer in America today. To
see this act alone would satisfy one
that they had their moneys worth, but
the management presents % more
high class acts amongst them The
Champion. of Bareback Somersault
Riders Melville, Hollis and DeMott.
Flying Caesar, the champion high
jumping horse Of the world; Daily
Bros acrobats without a peer; an
army of clowns that keep you as we'll
as the kiddies laughing from start to
finish; the ponies on the revolving
table; the bucking mule which the
management offers dollar a minute
to any one riding him, there is just
one scream from one end of the big
tent to the other. Then comes the
Wild West. The main show is one good
clean, high-class circus and will give
another performance tonight, doors
opening at 7:15, performance at S:15,
giving one ample time to visit the
menagerie. The Lancaster Intelligence,

DEATH OF TOD KINCAID

Tod Kincaid, we'll known as form
er Shiawassee county resident, died
Friday morning in hospital in Cleve-
land, Ohio, following an operation a
week ago for the removal of one leg.
He long had been a sufferer from rheu-
matte trouble.
Mr.. Kincaid was born in Girard,
Ohio, April 10, 1850, later coming to
Corunna, where for 25 years he oper-
ated the Corunna coal mines. He was
prominently identified with various
business interests of the county and
his capital and energetic efforts con-
tributed materially to the upbuilding
of Owosso and Corunna. He was one
Of the organizers and was at the head
of the Owosso Telephone Co., whose
interests later were purchased and ex-
panded by the Union Telephone Co.
Mr.. Kincaid was gentleman who
commanded the respect and high re-
gard Of those with whom he came in
contact socially and IN business.
Surviving with his widow, Mrs. En-
lily McHardy Kincaid, of Cleveland
are sister, Mrs. F. c. Gale, of Cor
unna; and a brother, James Kincaid
residing on a farm near Corunna
Frank Rayen, of this city.
The funeral was held in Cleveland
Monday afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. f
c. Gale, of Corunna and Mr.. and Mrs
Rayen attended.

Announcement.

The teachers of the Bryant scdool,
through their principal, have asked Mr..
Loder to speak to them aud to the par
ents of their children on the hospital
work, including of course information
about reconstruction work fer children.
This meeting will be held at the
school on Monday afterp oon, May 26,
at O'Clock. IL is hoped that the
parents Of every child in this school
will plan to be present, so that they
will be more fully informed on the inl-
portance of the work that is now upper
most in the minds of many of the peo.
pie. 1t is believed that the influence of
these parents will count for consider
able. There may be similar meetings
at the other school houses, and if those
in charge of the work wish to know
about the hos Jital, every opportunity
will be afforded them

COAL co. CASE AGAINST ANN
ARBOR DISPOSED OF

Judge Collins Monday filed an opin-
ion denying the motion of attorneys
for the Supervior Coal Co. formerly
operating the New Haven Coal Co.,
against the Ann Arbor railroad, for an
extension of time in which to settle
the bill of exceptions preparatory to
taking the case to the supreme court
on a writ of error. Apparently this
is the end Of the case
The coal company got verdict of
over $4,000 against the railroad COM
pany and moved that it be doubled
under the statute. The court denied
the motion and attorneys for the COM
pany sought to take the case to the
high court on writ of mandamus to
cite Judge Collins to show cause why
the verdict should not be doubled by
him. The supreme court refused to
receive the case, however, and then the
company sought an extension of time
in which to go up on writ of error.

VALUE OF INDUSTRIAL INDE-
PENDENCE

The Manufacturers Record, with
constituency largely in the South,
says that the readiness of American
industry to respond to the demands
of war was due to the marvellous in
dustrial expansion under a protective
tariff. Indeed, many free traders
have been willing to admit that truth,
but have tried to save their faces by
claiming that protective tariff caus-
ed too great a stimulation to our man.
ufacturing interests and unduly fav-
ored them. But now they must con-
front the fact that without these vast
industries we should have been unable
to stem the onrush of barbarism."
Without the industries built up by
protective, system, our situation
would not have been materially diff
ferent from that of Russia, so far as
preparedness is concerned. Under
her system Of free trade, Russia had
been selling raw materials to Germany
and had bought manufactured mater
ials in return. She had neither manu-
featuring industries nor skilled men
who could establish them. When sud-
denly thrown into war with highly
organized and developed industrial
nation like Germany, she was utterly
unable to supply her armies with any
Of the essentials of modern warfare.
The situation was different in this
country. We not only had extensive
manufacturing industries, but we had
men who could adapt those industries
to the exigencies of war. Although
we were lacking in preparedness in
the strictly military sense, we were
abundantly prepared in the larger, and
ultimately more important sense.
Russia had been economically depend
ent upon Germany, and was helpless.
America had been, in most particu-
lars, economically independent and
self sufficient. 1t was that industrial
development that made us a ready
source Of supply to Great Britain and
France from the very outbreak of the
conflict, and enabled US eventually to
produce equipment, which, under less
dilatory management, would have been
an early factor in bringing victory to
the arms of civilizations defenders.
The value of economic independence
is not limited, however, to war emer-
gencies. The war has emphasized it's
Importance, and the lesson is one that
will not be lost upon the American
people.
