Berlin's coal supply move will be

will be restricted in their use of light

The railroad service also, will be

THE MELTING POT

Chautauqua patrons who remem-
Der the delightful comedy drama,
at Pays to Advertise" presented on
last summers program will be glad
to know the Redpath-Vawter System
will present another play this sea-
son, much stronger production
both in the play itself and the COM
pany presenting it.
Izreal Zangwill's sociological
drama, "The Melting Pot" will be
the offering this summer and a New
York Company of ten people will
present it. The company will be
headed by William j. Keightly, the
leading man in IA Pays to Adver-
tise."
The managers OF the Redpath-
Vawter System believe that the story
and philosophy of The Melting
Pot" will be timely this summer be-
causce of it's intense Americanism.
1t is a story of the trivings and
struggles of the foreign-born folks
who come to our shores in search of
opportunities which were denied to
them in Europe.
Although the story is a serious
ane and one which deals with a
great problem nevertheless, there is
plenty of humor introduced and the
Redpath folks predict that it will be
one of the real, headline events of
the Chautauua.

MEN JOIN THE ARMY TO
SEE THE SIGHTS OF WORLD

why join the army"
One hundred and two volunteers
for Uncle Sans new army of $4,000
have been asked that question.
Only one of that number Joined be-
cause he had no job and couldn't get
one.
One Joined because he had a
brother in the army.
Two Joined because they had seen
previous service and wanted more of
it.
Three Joined to learn a trade.
The other ninety-nine enlisted in
order that they might get glimpse
of France or the Philippine islands.
One of the ninety-five expressed a
desire to see the Hawaiian islands.
Col. E. w. Tanner in command of
the Peoria recruiting district, has
been conducting a investigation in an
effort to determine the reason men
enlist in the army after the armistice
has been signed.
"The desire to have 'look-see' at
the way the world is running itself
or being run is the biggest motive for
enlistments 1T seems to me-" Colonel
Tanner said. 1.-THE fact that only
enc man enlisted because he had no
job is indicative of the fact that the
army isn't a haven of last resort to
the unemployed. The ninety-five
men who wanted to see the world
and get paid for doing it-are the
men who realize the educational val
ue of travel.
Under the plan which volunteers
are enlisted now they can, if they
choose, be assigned to service in
France. A call was sent out for 50,-
900 men for service over there to re-
lieve the army of occupation, and it
is of this opportunity that the ma
jority of the men are taking advant-
age according to Col. Tanner.

KILLING HUSBANDS

That popular and inexpensive AM
erican sport, Killing Your Husband,
seems to be as popular and proably
will continue as inexpensive as ever.
The latest case Is not yet complete.
The husband, at this writing is still
alive. but whichever way it turns out
we have no doubt the lady is quite
justified in her smiling confidence.
Her picture, snapped after the shoot

sloppy sentimentality of the juries
which sit in such cases? A long sue
cession of acquittals has given good
basis for confidence that any woman
can murder her husband if she is not
too old or unsightly. Our juries
have made killing a minor offense
when a woman can tell a story of
wrongs, whether the wrongs justify
the wiping out of human life or

The law establishes in calmness
and justice what excuses or justifies
the taking of life. But the sexual
sentimentality of male juries has
made mockeryy of law and of reason
ed justice, so that any woman whose
wrongs are real or fancied may try,
convict, and execute according to her
own notion of right or her own i'm
pulses OF pride or jealousy.
This is to place woman not in a
shrine, but on the plane of irrespon-
sible childhood or idocy. Juries
which ignore their oath to apply the

women to destroy life, should be
made to feel the condemnation of

LITTLE THINGS COST

The reason so many Americans
have not been thrifty was because
they failed to appreciate the power of
little things. 1t is yielding to the
little impulses to spend small
amounts foolishly that keeps many a
family hard up from one years end
to another.
1t was the thorough appreciation
of the value of little things that
made many man wealthy and pow
erful.
In these war days, learn to prize
highly the little things. To under
stand their value is to know one OF
the chief secrets of success and hap
piness.

There was company in the room
and of course the teacher was very
