In Memory of Roosevelt

Rudolph Altrocchi, A. b., NJ. A.,
Phi. D., Harvard University, the
writer of this ode, lived in Kansas
City a short while before entering
Harvard, and has since visited here
several times. He was born in
Florence, Italy, and spent his boy
hood there, but he is an American
disaster in the winter of 1917, Mr..
Altrocchi left the University of Chi
cago, where he was an assistant
professor in the romance language
department, and undertook a gov
ernment mission to Italy. He spoke
to large audiences in all the large
Italian cities. Then he went to
Paris and entered the American
Army as a lieutenant and liaison
officer. Since the armistice Mr..
Altrocchi has been stationed at Ly-
ons, France. He wrote the ode and
read it, by request, at the Roosevelt
memorial service:
A man has died. We pause to meet
this hour
OF reverent grieving,
And see the empty road where once
he led
This comrade of our youth, this
man of power,
Upon whose sudden leaving
A something in each one of us
seems dead.
He lived the wonder spirit of our
land,
He breathed the fevered zeal
OF our own cities with their tower
ing dreams
OF brick and steel;
He breathed the glow of Arizona's
sand,
Barren, but glistening where the
desert teens
With burning life. He heard the
crying call
OF cattle ranches far in Idaho,
And in Dakota's summer grazing
plains
He sought the footprints of the
buffalo.
Within his very veins
He felt the message of our soil, and
all
Our craving for the forest and the
might
OF giant-shouldered Rocky Noun
tain peaks
Rising to touch the beckoning stars
of night.
He breathed from sea to sea
The fragrance of things infinitely
free,
And heard the endless miracle that
speaks
.. From every corner of our Mother
land.
Thus could he fling with tempered
soul
His life upon the world, and press
his hand
Up to the high fruition of his goal,
His days in their torrential zeal of
living
Were but a flow of ever candid
giving,
Until at last this ageing man of fire,
Whom sixty years made young with
young desire
Has died.
We pause before his shrouded bed
And something in each one of us is
dead.
Lieut.. Rudolph Altrocchi.

A HOPELESS TASK

THE Democrats of Dauphin
county have invited Congress-
man-elect Wilson here to tell
them how he beat the Republican
candidate in his county, with the
purpose of getting some ideas from
him whereby they might repeat the
Wilson performance in this county.
It's a grand thought, but it won't
work. Not only is the Democratic
machine all shot to pieces here, but
the Republican organization never
was in better shape for a battle.
Next Falls election will be the usual
walkover for the Republicans. But
those who go to hear Mr.. Wilson
will, no doubt, be entertained by a
gifted speaker and will get a good
dinner, and the function, doubtless,
will be altogether worth the price
of admission.

Combine Oil and Coal

[From the Scientific Americana
Thanks to the combined efforts Of
the Submarine Defense Association
and its engineer, Lindon w. Bates,
during the war to produce a smoke
less fuel and to safeguard our AL
lies from a shortage of vitality nee
essary fuel oil, they have evolved
a combination of oil and pulverized
coal, etc, which is termed colloidal
fuel.
This source of energy can be fed
to the burners of any existing oil
burning equipment and does not call
for change of installation of any
sort. In just that measure in
which powdered coal, tar, ground
coke, etc, is added to each gallon
of the liquid fuel like quantity of
oil is dispensed with, and yet the
total value in heat units is actually
augmented.
To make this practicable many
months of laboratory research were
required to discover q medium
which would neutralize gravitation
and keep the introduced heavier
particles of carbon from settling
and calling for some special appa-
ratus to stir up the mixture just
before drawing it from the tanks
for burning. The new agent is a
pdSlellh6 greasy SupSIduCep CdllSu
'fiXateur." Twenty pounds of this
stuff in a ton of liquid fuel keeps
the powdered coal and tar suspend
ed in the oil and evenly distributed
throughout it's volume.
AS a result of this seeming annul-
ment of one or Natures laws, it is
possible to combine in stable
liquid fuel As per cent. of oil, 20
per cent. of tar and 35 per cent. of
pulverized coal, thereby replacing
more than one-half of the oil, Sc
curing equal or greater heat values
per barrel, and saving considerable
in cost. In fact, grades of colloidal
fuel can be prepared which, upon
a given tank capacity, will give
warships or merchant vessels a 20
per cent. increased steaming radius
over that possible with the usual
fuel oils. All the fuel pastes are
mobile to sustained and easily ap-
piled pressure, and may be thus
pumped, fed and atomized in the
combustion chamber.
This achievement makes it prac-
ticable to commingle the waste
products of the mine, the gas house
and the oil refinery and thus to cut
down to a large extent the present
consumption of fuel oil. AS one re-
suit of our effort to neutralize the
grim activities of Teuton U-boats,
we now have offered US a potential
economic boon of enormous value.

IF GEORGE V DID THIS

Correspondent of the New York
Sun, writing to the paper, says:-
1 was reading an editorial article
in The Sun the other day entitled
Suppose" Here are some more
"supposes."
Suppose the King of England
should order one of his ships (they
are all His British Majesty's Ships"
on paper) to be at the dock at 3
o'clock on a morning named.
Suppose at this hour the King
accompanied by some score of per-
sons selected by him, went on board
and proceeded to the Peace Con-
ference.
Suppose that before starting the
King ordered all the cables to be
seized and placed in the hands of
some person chosen by him.
Suppose that the King announced
at the conference that he appeared
on behalf of humanity and that he
had conceived a plan for settling
the affairs of the world which he had
come to put into effect.
Suppose that this were done by
the King without consulting with
any Oh. in England but Alfred
.Harmswor.s, who was under a strict
pledge of secrecy.
Suppose the King, in the profoun-
dest secrecy, began to negotiate
treaties to bind the British Empire
for all time, and which, so far as
could be surmised, subverted the
fundamental policies of the empire,
including the surrender of naval
supremacy.
Suppose Parliament, in alarm, an
nounced that it would refuse to sane
ton any treaty surrendering sea
power and the King thereupon came
home in a towering rage and notified
England that his fighting blood was
up and that he would so Intervene
the surrender of sea power with the
treaty that it would be impossible to
make peace without it.
Suppose that the King should or
der his ship again and go back to
Paris more determined than ever to
do what he said.
What would happen?
Simply nothing.
1t would at once be assumed that
the King had lost his mind.

Girl FoHowed 35th DiDision

Miss Violet Redpath, Y. NJ C. A.,
is happy. The 35th Division is hap
py. Because, after many vicissi-
tudes together, they were allowed
to go home together. A short time
ago unfeeling officials ordered Miss
Redpath home, a form of tyranny
not usually resented. But Miss Red
path resented it and made herself
famous in army circles by asking
permission to stay over until the
division sailed. The aforesaid un-
feeling officials were so dazed by
this peculiar request that they
granted it. Miss Redpath accom-
panied the 35th Division through its
fighting in Alsace, at st. Mihiel,
Verdun and the Argonne. The gas
mask and steel helmet are nothing
new to her, and at Verdun she shat
tered a few regulations beyond hope
of repair by visiting the 10th En-
gineers in the front line trenches.

A WOUNDED PIGEON

stepped into the yard one morn,
The sun was shining bright,
I beheld a something fiuttering,
Fluttering, something white.
1t seemed to be coming downward,
1t came down, down, down;
Until at my feet
1t rested on the ground.
1t was a little pigeon,
An almost helpless thing,
For somehow in its travels,
1t had cruelty hurt it's wing.
took it up SO gently,
And gave 1t tender care;
And 10! upon a morning
1t sudden took to air.
1t tapped its wings;-"goodby,"
1t seemed to say,
I'm off to Pigeon Haven,
And on this very day
TIL tell to all the pigeons there
How you did mend my injured
wing
And let me take to air,
Instead of caging me,
A poor unhappy thing"

BUSINESS PICKING UP

| X shows distinct signs of improve
ment. Summer is ordinarily
the dullest season of the year. But
trade along nearly all lines is better
now than it was month ago and
the outlook is extremely encourag-
ing. Particularly noticeable is the
absence in the news of pessimistic
forecasts and the gradual easing up
of the unemployment problem,
which is remarkable considering the
number of men who are being re-
turned to private life from the army
every day. Strikes are scattered and
Of little Importance. May Day
brought much less trouble than was
anticipated. Unrest appears to be
gradually quieting down and this in
all likelihood will become more pro-
nounced as business picks up and
idle men go back into employment
at good wages.
Even building has taken a squirt,
despite high costs and the uncertain
ty of the material market, and Har-
risburg is sharing in this increased
prosperity.
One of the best indications for the
coming months is the record-break-
ing wheat harvest which nothing can
now affect short of disaster the like
of which the country has never
known. 1t is early for Middle West
and Western farmers to be worry
/ ing over their harvest forces, but
great cry has gone up for men to
help get in the wheat and this is a
good sign, for it gives ample time
for the gathering of such laboring
units as will be necessary for the
big job. The farmer faces a stabil-
lied wheat market, thanks to the
Government war subsidy, and will
have plenty of money to spend next
winter. A big wheat yield at good
prices means also that the railroads
will be busy for months handling
the grain and that business in gen.
eral will share in the basic prosperi-
ty of the men whose wealth comes
direct from the soil.
The steel industry unquestionably
will feel the stimulus of other lines
shortly, although at the present mo-
ment it is the most unfavorable fac
tor in a market that is rapidly re-
covering from the sudden plunge
from war to peace. There are many
snarls and tangles in the steel busi-
ness that must be Strengthened out
before there can be a return to any,
thing like normal, but every i'm
provement in the general situation
will reflect favorably on steel. 1t is
a unique situation to have steel
wavering with other branches of in
dustry showing very distinct signs
OF substantial prosperity. Usually
steel is the national trade barometer;
just now it is not playing that role.
But there is little indication of
price reductions anywhere or a low
ering of the present high cost of
living. Responding to foreign de-
mands, raw cotton has shot up five
cents a pound and the fact that
America will have to continue for
another year at least to feed Europe,
gives small encouragement to those
who have been hoping for cheaper
foodstuffs. However, wages keep
right up to wartime levels in most
industries, and with restoration OF
full working time there will be less
cause for complaint if prices do con-
tinue high.
All told, the outlook is good and
the country may congratulate itself
upon having weathered the worst
Of the transitional period with SC
little suffering.
