BY RICHARD sPHLANE.

Three short lines, adjuncts to the
trolley lines of New York City,
have ceased operation and their
franchises have been surrendered
because it was impossible to make
them pay unless the fare practi-
cally was doubled. One was a
crosstown line in the heart Of
Manhattan. 1t was gluipped with
storage battery cars which, it was
expected at one time. would work a
large economy.
Two of these defunct concerns
were used by the Ryan-whitney
people as holding companies at one
time. in the remarkably intricate
financial juggle by which the sur
face car systems of the great city
were brought to wreckage.
The surrender of the franchises
of these short lines. together with
the conflict over a higher rate of
fare in subway, surface and ele-
waited transportation in the me-
tropolis, has led Mayor Hylan to
predict that bus lines will replace
trolley lines certainly and may, in
time. put the subways and Il"
roads out of commission.
mayor Hylan Is pre1udlced in his
opinion.-having retained much of
the bitterness against street car
corporations he absorbed in the
days he was q trolley car moto--
man, yet his prophecy is likely to
be verified.
The trolley seems doomed. 1t is
uneconomic. 1t costs too much to
establish and too much to maintain.

ficult to curtail. 1t is too rigid

Such Is Life

This Happens To BE the Brand Of

at Buffalo.
Jacob Wright. aged 10. Buffalo, N.
T.. thought he needed a bath.
It Is often that one so young gets
an idea like that
And SO should be encouraged.
But Judge Mclaughlin, Of Buffalo,
doesn't seem to think so.
Well. anyhow, Jacob needed q bath.
And he got one. too.
Walked into a boarding house, made
a b-line for the bathroom.
The splashing OF water attracted at
tention.
Police arrested Jacob for stealing
q bath.
Get that? Stealing q bath!
Huh! Once we heard OF a hard
hearted constable who pinched q kid
for taking a dip in the swimmin'
hole on somebody's farm. but that
constable was defeated at the next
election.
And we hope they defeat that
Judge Mclaughlin who sentenced
Jacob Wright to the penitentiary for
thirty days for stealing that bath.

anyone live any longer than he
would have otherwise" asserted John
H. Whitmore, New York lawyer, who
a few days ago celebrated his Tooth

Exit the Sheer

This war has taught us to use no more that weapon which Is the usual
 -the sheer. We have begun to dis cover the mind of Europe, and no longer to assert our superiority in certain things in order to conceal our conscious ness of inferiority of others We admit and we admire those regiments of London cockneys. almost toothless old men, and raw boys some of them. who gave an astonishing example of courage against all discouragements of perfect obedience to disipline. and an unconquerable belief in their race and their nation. They wanted neither our sympathy nor our praise; they simply "carried on," and our boys soon learned that energy and youth could acquire much from the example of men whom they were only too ready to look upon French poilu we learned that prudence was not inconsistent with bravery, that physical strength did not make the sol dier. and that perfect teamwork, the submersion of the individual in all except the keeping alive of the indivi- dual fervor of the heart, make of your Parisian gamin at crucial moments beings who seem almost glorified.

Enduring Civilizations

From sunrise" by Barrett wendell, in
 Scribner's.
 Now the maintenance of public order and of private property inevitably in- wolves considerable inconvenience, of course. resented. Resentment, taking ac- tive shape, consequently and unfaningly attacks one, or the other. CT both When either yields to the attack, and still more when both so yield. civilization declines and w'thers. So far as we can see, the cause of such attacks, as it presents itself to the humand mind. to an impulsive de- termination on the part of men, few or many, to have their own way. no matter what happens. without regard to natural law-an memorable condition of social survival. It would seem to follow that the most nearly enduring, though not the most brilliant, civilizations are tltose which develop the greatest defensive strength, as distinguished from aggres- sive; in other words, that a conservative impulse is rather more healthy than a radical. Natural law is most nearly free to persist not when you try to make things suit you, but when you bunder- ingly attempt to discover what it is, and
 meanwhile to prevent anybody else-man

Nerves on Edge From
 Headache and Nausea

T used to be positively afraid to meet people. My nerves were in such a ter rible state from sick head aches and nausea that I sim ply could not appear pleas ant or agreeable.
 "One of my friends per suaded me to take a glass of Celery-Vesce. I was com pletely worn out at the time. That single glass straight ened me out in a Jiffy, soothed my nerves, drove away my headache and made me feel like a new person.
 'Now, when I feel the least bit tired, I take Celery-Vesce. before my feeling of fatigue brings on a severe headache or a case of nerves. One tea spoonful in a third glass of water makes a foamy drink that is pleasant and immedi- ate in effect. It promptly re- lieves indigestion and gas pains, neuralgia, sleepless-. ness, nausea and fatigue. It is perfectly safe-contains no harmful or habit forming drugs, yet it refreshes in- stantly and leaves no unpleas- ant after effects.

GERMAN DYES WILL NOT BECOME SERIOUS FOR MORE THAN YEAR
Raw Materials Are Not Available, But Within Ten Years Germans Will Be
 Real Competitors
Bv PATRrcK o,FLAHERTY.

London. November 20.-(S eciaL)- Germany is in no position to export dysstuffs to the United States or any wHere else. She will not be in posi- tion to compete with the American dye stuffs for at least year. She will be nothing more than a weak competitor for another year.
 At present she is unable to supply her own market for dyestuffs. The de- mands of the allies, and the dire short age of raw materials, coal and credit, are responsible for her present severe shortage in this field, in which she was formerly supreme, as we'll as in other fields of commerce.
 This is the conclusion reached by Irving A. Keene, chairman of the ad- visory committee on drugs, chemicals and dyestuffs. of the American Cham ber of Commerce in London. He has just returned from an extensive tour through Germany, in which he visited all the great German dye factories.
 Such big firms as Meister, Lucius and Brunning of Frankfort, Cassela of Frankfort. E. Merck & Go. of Darm- stadt, the Griesheim Elektron of Darm- stadt, and Bayer & O., have nothing to offer for export" he told me.
 The factories in the Rhineland towns are working under allied military supervision, and in common with all other factories in Germany, are com pelled to sell to the German government sfor delivery to the allies as indemnity up to 50 per cent of their output as in last January.
 Nothing can be sold without instruc- tions from the German governme ent and most of the factories are just now beginning to reinstall peace-time ma chinery. I found that most of the dye factories have been turning out poison gas during the war, and some of them are still filled with their war machin- cry.
 M eister, Lucius and Brunnings big factory at Frank fort was bombed dur ing the war, and they are only able to supply their fixed percentage to the government for delivery to the allies. Reidell & Schering in Berlin also have enough to do in keeping their percen tage supplied to the government.
 "The export and import license de- partment of the German government at Berlin is anxious to encourage foreign trade in any way, but I found there what I found everywhere else through out Germany-plenty of courtesy but no goods.

 ''Ihe Germans are still the Germans, and their conception of Germany is that of a giant figure leaning on sword. with feet planted wide apart, bestrid- ing continents"
 Mfr. Keene, whose report to the Amer ican chamber in. London has created in- tense interest. left London last August to enter Germany via Paris. From Paris he went to Cologne. where the American section of the military governors bureau for commerce and information put him through to Coblenz. There he received a high" German pass into the interior from the Rhineland high commission. He spent 10 weeks in as thorough an in- vestigation as possible of the state of the German dyestuff> industry in par ticular. and the German commercial out look in general.

By and large, meanwhile, at times when this natural law has worked moro or less freely, maintaining public order and sus- taining private property. men have not instantly but gradually been apt to get something like their social deserts. That is, if their conduct through the three or four generations of a century has been favorable to civilization they have been better off at the ends of the century than they were at the beginning, and vice versa So there is a tenable case for the few who stin believe that the most nearly free course of social justice--rewarding constructive qualities and punishing de- structive-is the most favorable to civil ized existence, These unpopular creatures would perhaps hold it's relation to society to he something like the relation borne to vegetation by the sun.
