That sort of story we can read. We
can see what people do and what they

"Stories," said the little rabbits In
surprised tones.
"Of course" said Bunny Bonnie

are in revolt against high prices and
profiteering and are seeking to dis
cover some means by which to reduce
the cost of living. The Inauguration
of open air markets is the latest idea
by which to defeat the protiteers and
has proved a great success.

ANDREW CARNEGIE
DIES AT AGE OF "a
Maker and Giver Of Millions Sud-
denly Stricken Down by
Pneumonia.

Lenox, Mass.-In his great mansion
overlooking q lake in the beautiIm
Berkshire hills, where he sought Sc
clusion when bodily infirmity overlook
him and his mind was saddened by
the entrance Of his country into the
world war, Andrew Carnegie, ironmas-
ter and philanthropist, died peacefully
of pneumonia in his eighty-fourth year.
Mrs. Carnegie was at her husbands
bedside in the last hours of his life,
but he did not revive sufficiently to
permit of any sign of recognition.
Their daughter Margaret, who last
April married Ensign Roswell Miller
of New York, was notified that 1t was
apparent that the illness would be ia
tai, and she arrived from her home
at Millbrook, n. Y, few minutes aft
err her father had died.
Andrew Carnegie, the outstanding
figure of nineteenth century indus
trialism, will go down through the ages
as the very personification Of "trium-
plant democracy"
Overcoming almost insuperable OBJ
stacles by his unusual energy and
sheer tenacity of purpose, Andrew
Carnegie rose from humble messen-
ger boy to wealth beyond the dreams
of avarice. He rose from obscurity to
a unique position in the world.
Andrew Carnegie's efforts to give
away his fortune to avoid dying in
disgrace were vain, according to tinan-
cial authorities.
They estimate that the Laird of Ski
DO had given away S35O,695,653 up to
June 1, 1918, but that he still had $780,
100000 at his death.
Carnegie Began Life at s1.20 Weekly.
Andrew Carnegie was born at Dunn
fermline, Scotland, November %, 1895.
At the age of eleven he came to this
country with his parents on $50 Dor
rowed from an uncle, George Lauder
The family settled at Allegheny City,
Pa, in 1913, where Andrew went to
work as bobbin boy at $1.20 week.
In the Civil War he worked in the
telegraph branch of the service and
devised cipher system for the Union
forces.

OFFICIALS HAVE CLOSED PLANTS
 IN PITTSBURG
Continued from Page one.)

The Allegheny and West Penn Steel mills at Breckenridge suspend ed operations at o'clock this morn ing, in order to give the mill men an opportunity to hold a meeting and consider the advisability of walking out Monday, according to Harry D. Sheldon, President of the Allegheny Steel company and Julian Burdick, Vice President of the West Penn Steel Company. These mills employ nor mally 5000 to 5000 men.
 The Pittsburgh Steel Company at Monessen was closed yesterday after 500 men, mostly foreigners, walked out because, according to men em- ployed there, a foreigner was given the choice of winding eight spoOls of barbed wire as other men were doing or quitting. Upon his choosing the latter course, 1t is said, the 500 em- ployes followed suit. According to a superintendent of the plant, how ever, the mill closed owing to lack of orders.

ALLIED THREAT TO B0MBARD
 CITY OF PLUME
Ccontinued from Page OneD


 scrt the Italians are constantly chang ing the detail of their offer and that, for this reason. an answer has so far been impossible.
 Advicos from Rome say that the Duke of Aosta, close friend of Cap tain D'Annunzlo. has conferred with King Victor Emmanuel and Premier Nitti and it is suggested he may act as mediator in an effort to bring about an abandonment of Plume by the DAnnunzio forces.
 Plume is closely blockadpd by land and sea, but there are stores in the city sufficient to maintain the people and troops for three months. Captain D'AnnunziO is reported to have with him many members of his famous aerial squadron, which fought on the Austrian front during the war. The Italian government, however, has or dered the maEnetos of airplanes at all aviation camps removed so that no more machines may go to Plume.
 Premier Nittt and Foreign Minister Tittoui have disa greed over the Plume inCEcnt, the latter disapprov1ng of the premier's attitude, according to Rome newspapers.
 A despatch from Trieste says a fleet Of alrplanes has been landed near Plume and been placed at the disposi- ton of Captain D'Annunzio, having flown from one of the Italian aviation camps. A brigade of Lombardi troops which arrived at Fiume and vofun- teered to join tho D'AnuunziO forces was sent back to its garrison, says a despatch to the Messagero.
 Captain DAnnunEiO's action in talk ing over control of Plume is approved in manifesto issued by the national association of wounded soldiers.
