Plain Record of Facts.

In reporting to you the things I saw
graphs-the figures and facts as l
learned them, and the impressions I
gathered from the speech and life
Of Europe. l have tried to keep my
eyes free from prejudice 50 that the
lenses would be unbiased.
In the June Of 1914 Europe had a
place in the sunlight of peace. The
fields were filled with peasants, bend
ing their backs to toll. Villagers were
happy in the common routine Of their
simple lives. Factories, mills, mines
and shops were filed with men.
Wheels hummed, smoke streamed from
the cities traffic roared trains ratified.
1t was the story Of a busy, working
world.
Problems there were, Of course, the
problems normal to the growth and
progress of the world. There was
some unrest too, but children scam
pered to school, patient women sang
grooming songs to their babies. Men
carrying dinner buckets whistled on
their way to work. There were shad-
ows-the unlighted side of the worlds
street.-the slums and the tenements !;
but men and women were planning
and fighting the black uginess, and
everyone had faith in the tomorrow.
The world was making headway-it
was growing better; its conscience was
awakened. We were becoming our
brothers keeper 1t was a normal,
sane, good old world. 1t was good
to be alive.
Then came the day, the day tina u,
will never be forgotten-the day that
changed the world; the day Of four
years, at the end of which civilization
was almost hunchbacked

To Getsat Grease.

"The road oil and grease that collect
on the running gear require different
methods of removal and also other
tools. Special brushes will get at the
grease in inaccessible corners. In the
case of the wheel hubs, care should be
used to prevent water and grit work
ing into the bearings. The channels
used on the body should never be used
on the running gear, separate cha
mois being kept for this one purpose.
A heavy accumulation should never be
taken off by busting. 1t should be
made to flow off with the hose. If you
wish to use body polish beware of
the many inferior grades on the mar
ket. If any, you should use the very
best grade Obtainable."

CAR kept CLEAN
WILL LIVE LONG
Some Excellent Suggestions
Given on How to Take Proper
Care of Finish"
FREQUENT WASHING IS BEST
Varnish of New Car Is Benefited by
Use of Clear Cold Water-CIean
Leather Upholstery With Piece
of Wooden Cloth.

The engine of a car can be mis-
treated frequently before it begins to
complain, but the finish can be mis-
treated once or twice-then there is
no finish left to mistreat," says Will
liam Fl. Stewart, president of the
Stewart Automobile school.
THE lack of washing and the essen
tial knowledge of not knowing how to
wash a car will go further towards
running the appearance than any other
thing. The varnish of a new car is
benefited and hardened by washing
with clear cold water, but mud that Is
allowed to dry upon the body takes
the Oil from the varnish and leaves
the finish notified and streaky. Dirt is
not the only enemy, for gases from
the garage and even the atmosphere
of some towns, attack the finish of the
car that is not frequently washed.
First Remove Dust.
Begin by cleaning the top. Take a
good stiff brush and remove the dust
''Si SiIliCA SpOISC VI uSc u sui ClOll
with warm water and pure soap. A
chamois kept especially for the pur-
pose will tend to hasten the drying and
the top must not be folded until it is
thoroughly dry.
1.-THE upholstery, If of cloth, is best
cleaned by sponging with water con-
tanning little salt and alcohol. If of
leather a wooden cloth dipped in clear
water to which few drops of ammo
mia has been added is best.
In cleaning the body, be sure to re-
move the nozzle of the hose and flow
the water over every part of the body
This will serve to wash off most of the
dust and also loosen the mud. In
cases where the car is very dirty it is
best to do this and then let it stand
for a few minutes before going over it
again with the hose. Then take soft
sponge and follow the hose over the
body. If certain portions are grease
spotted these should be washed sep
arately with pure water and CASTLE
soap, but except in this one instance
soap Of any kind should be avoided on
the body.

Our Comparative Plenty.

Cldlln on our hearts anu DeduS tne
time to prove it is now.
Our Comparative Plenty.
In our house things are well. We
have been saved the devastation of
war. Our acres are ample, our yield
has been plentiful. We have an album
dance of material. Our man power
has only been lightly touched by the
war. 1t is true that we gave nearly
seventy thousand lives that the Prus-
slams might not pass; that autocracy
might not shackle the world. 1t was
our best blood. Europe gave for four
years, and she gave of her youth un-
til her man power was almost eX-
hausted.
We cannot sacrifice Europe with
out being sacrificed. If Europe falls
America will tOtter. The storm Of I'M
rest that rocks Europe to ruin will
shake America. We must work and
give-lOan, if you please.
The heart of labor is warm. It's
sympathy is born of suffering. The
gospel of the brotherhood of man is
the message that labor has always
taught. l am sure that if l could pic
ture the poverty of the children and
women and men of EurOpe-if l could
only make people see what I have seen
In Europe, our differences would seem
trivial by comparison with their suf-
ferings. Men would will to work and
find joy in the working. What greater
compensation can come to conscience
than working to feed the hungry, to
clOthe the naked, to comfort the lowly?
If the heart Of capital is stone and
cannot feel the message which comes
over the seas, let labor show that its
heart Is humane and that it will suffer
injustice, if need be. little longer to
save flesh and blood brother and Sis
ter workers, on the other side of the
ocean. It's a crime against God and
man to stop production at this mo-
ment-and extravaganza n this hour
is a greater immortality than prostitu-
ton.
L dld not stop with the gathering Oh
figures, because I knew that while
figures are important they frequently
fail to tell the full truth. Official re-
ports and statistics, granting that they
are accurate, are at best only photo
graphic. The photograph records with
mathematical exactness the exterior of
things. 1t seldom gets to the heart
The photograph is the still picture
the picture Of the motiOnless fact. I'm
pressiOns are more like oil paintings.
They possess the human touch. They
reach the heart within. Back Of the
daubs of paint on the canvas are the
throbs Of heart. The film is only sem
sitized. Mans brain Is sensitive. The
photograph reproduces the outline; the
painting, the substance.
