CURE for Poison Ivy.

Mrs. Evelyn S. Trenbath, wife OF the
Rev. Robert w. Trenbath. rector OF St
Jsmes's Episcopal church Of Montclair

ers from poison ivy by announcing
remedy which those who have tried II
say is a most efficacious remedy. II
is simply the green leaves Of common
catnip rubbed on the affected parts un-

This never falls, Mrs. Trenbath says.
no matter how advanced the case may

the case Of children. The plant grows
usually In great abundance behind old
barns. and is said to be so antagonis-

Bat skIns for Leather.

The suggestion has been made that
the rat problem might be best solved
by making use OF the skins OF the
rodents for the purpose OF leather.
Somebody with the gift Of guessing
computes that there are 100000 in
this country. and the damage they do
would feed good-sized army. 1t
would take at least 5000 skins a day
to supply small modern tannery.
Nobody wants the rats, they belong
TO anybody that can catch them.
That is the problem-to catch them.
and then deliver the goods. There is
not enough leather to go around.
Fish skins are susceptible Of tan
ming. and there are rat skins which
make good leather. large enough for
many purposes.

investigating the old desk. She
worked at its lock with wire until
she had it opened. She was explor-
ing document after document when
Mr.. Ladd entered the office.
"Why, Miss Tresham, what is this?"
he inquired bewildered.
Luella stood aghast. Then her
usual composure deserted her. She
felt guilty and helpless under the
gaze of her employer. She burst into
tears and told her whole story.

The reaction from the tense strain
of fear was too much for Luella. She
tottered and Robert Ladd caught her
in his arms, and then and there pity,
tenderness, real interest, surged up In
his soul as he told her how he loved

New York World, Strong Wilson
Supporter, Denounces "Revolu-
ton by UItimatum."
PARALLEL TO RUSSIAN IDEA.
Calls Railroad Brotherhoods' Plan for
Government Ownership "soviet
Economics Venture"

New York.-The New York World,
In n leading editorial, characterizes
The railroad labor plan for Government
ownership of railroads as IA straight-
out adventure into Soviet economics.
The editorial page of the World has
long had a national reputation for un-
Aevlating support OF Democratic prin-
clples, hostility to Wall street, and the
most loyal and vigorous assistance TO
President Wilson. The World says:
"Revolution by uItin,atum."
The plan of the railroad brother
hoods for taking over the railroad
properties OF the country Is a straight
out adventure into Soviet economics.
1t contemplates collective ownership.
but class operation and control, which
Is at the foundation OF the Soviet sys-
TEN.
The American people. through their
Government, are to buy the railroads
trom the private owners and turn these
properties over to the railroad en-
ployees to manage and operate. In
consideration OF an investment Of ap-
proximately s2o,OOo.Ooo.0oo the Gov
ernment is to appoint one-thlrd Of the
directors. and the public is to share
in such savings in the cost of opera
ton as may remain after the EN-
pIoyees have paid themselves what
they think their services ought to be
worth.
The spirit in which the program is
put forth may be inferred from "A state
ment made by Il. NJ. Jewell, acting
president of the railroad employees
department Of the American Fedora
tion OF Labor, in which he said that II
President Wilson's suggestion to Con-
gress was carried out I'VE will tie up
the railroads so tight that they will
never run again II that Legislation is
passed" II might have been Trotzky
himself speaking to a bourgeoise that
had offered mild and academic obJec-
tions to being despoIled.

Who Is the Government

Before any railroad plan can be
worked out one highly essential fact
must be stablished-namely, whether
the sovereign power of the United
States is vested In Government and in
the American people or whether It Is
vested In the railroad brotherhoods.
For three years now the brother
hoods have assumed that the sovereign
power was vested I'm them, and Con
gress has provided them with excel
lent reasons for that assumption.
When the railroad employees in the
critical period Of the summer of 1916
demanded an eight-hour day and
threatened general strike. President
Wilson sent a message to Congress in
which he urged that the eight-hour
day be made the basis of work and
wages, but he made four other pro-
posals, one Of which called for
"An amendment TO the existing Fed
eral statute which provides for the
mediation. Cancellation and arbitration
