AFTER 1920, u. s. WILL BE ONLY
559II8 YEARS BEHIND IN WORK

New York, March 16-There are
not enough figl es on a typewriter
to indicate what the United States
pays for its anual array of holidays
In both money and time, the high
cost of loafing mounts in a year to
sums to great to conceive or to rows
of figures too long to read.
Statistics sharks, however, have
managed to gather data that may
come within a few million dollars of
the correct mark, and may not miss
the total time lost by much more
than couple of centuries.
Here are some of the facts we'll
informed mathematicians point to as
proving their point that America
would be richer by few trillion dol
lars if the public took fewer "off
days
During 1920 the almanacs list just
national holidays, generally observ-
ed throughout every state, and none
of which falls on Saturday In adj
dition, there are half-holidays OBJ
served on Saturdays in most states
enough they say, to amount to 26
whole holidays. In ALL then, there
are S5 whole holidays on which Of
flee workers, store clerks, teachers
and toilers in dozens of other lines
cease work.
Take for example an office of 100
: persons.
" Thirty-five holidays are granted
each employee making in all $500
days for the office force, not count
ing Sundays This sum amounts to
little more than IL years, there
fore, for each office of 100 persons.
Placing the average weekly salary
of the employees at $50, simple arith-
metic will show the loss to the one
employer for the II years is $1,716,.
600 To this sum must be added
wages lost by union workers whose
pay is reckoned on time basis; loss
because of no production; loss in
manufacturing plants, where steam
must be kept up and overhead ex-
penses go on regardless of the holi-
day, and to railroads and transporta-
tion companies whose lines are over
congested by freight and passengers

days or 559,11S working years.
If the sharks are right, and there
has been no one to step forward to
challeng their figures, the total
losses will probably nearly double
the figures already presented, be-
cause they declare no consideration
whatever has been given for the
35 holidays that are faithfully OBJ

sectional, religious or local historical
incidents.

THE FALL SKIRT

TINE fall skirt is a neat garment
L which looks a good deal like the
spring skirt, but costs more, owing 10
the European war, which has caused
great scarcity of everything except
campaign bunk.
The fall skirt was gotten up last
February in the heart of Paris,
France, and sent over here to be sold
to women who do not care to look like
any of their neighbors. To the dull
and unpracticed eye of man it is hard
to tell a new fall skirt of the 1917 mod
ell from the one his wife wore twice
in the early spring and discarded AFT
er making the horrifying discovery
that it was three-quarters of an inch
too long to be strictly au fait There
is nothing more depressing than a
new skirt which is only IS per cent
au fait and folds carelessly about both
ankles, instead of fitting back rakish-
ly and binding the innocent bystand-
er in both eyes.
Great care has been taken, accord
ing to the fashion periodicals, to make
the fall skirt so long that it can be

upon him, and often he joined the
children in their boisterous games in
the White House grounds.
In the dark days when the nation
itself was at deaths door, one of the
boys died. For weeks the grievine
father strOve in vain to win a spirit Of
resignation, dropping his work for a
day at a time and surrendering to his
sorrow. Doubtless the fortitude he
gained at last in that wrestle with
himself became part Of the heroic faith
which lifted him above the general
despair when the fortunes Of the
Union sank lowest.
After Willie's death, the other boy
received double share of paternal af-
fection. Tad was in the habit of going
TO his father in the evening and max
ing report of all that had happened
since morning usually falling asleep
in the midst of his prattie. Laying
the little fellow on the floor by the
side of his desk, Lincoln returned to
his heavy tasks until his own long day
was done, whel he took his sleeping
boy on his shoulder and carried him
off to bed.

Last Night ht'sDreanls
What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF FiRE2

TIN REGARD to dreams about fire
IL the myStics are not entirely agreed.
They all seem to agree that simply
to dream of fire is favorable omen,
but some of them attach unfavorable
meanings to different circumstances
which may arise in connection with
the dream fire. Many of them predict
that if you dream of conflagration
in which your house or your place Of
business is burned down, you will have
many business troubles, but will come
through them all right. Others say
that if you see fire in which the
burning houses have fallen down it
is most favorable omen and not so
good one if the houses still stand.
The consensus of opinion is that to
see any fire and not get burned by 1t
denotes health, fortune and happiness.
To burn yourself in your dreams is
not a favorable prognostication, but TO
dream that you touch the fire ana are

unhewn logs behind which he shivered
in the cabin home of his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was in a

as the president and exclaimed in.
surprise: "He is a very common look
ing man. Whereupon he answered: !:
Friend, the Lord prefers common
looking people. That is the reason he
makes so many of them"
Lincoln liked people, and he always
kept in touch with the mass. He did
not have to take the word of politi-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
As he finished his daily wreStle With
senators and the big-wigs, he plunged
with zest into what he called his pub
lie opinion bath" Seated in his chair,
with one leg thrown over its arm, he
received the motley crowd that poured
in through the wide open door of his
Office. Those who approached hi11 in
awe found themselves at ease in the
presence of Il friend, whose manner
said TO every one what he said in a
speech to regiment: 81 happen tem-
porarily to occupy this big White

any one of your children may lock to

! The man fairly eXhaled democracy

las said that Lincoln was the only
white man he ever met who di0 not
show consciously or unconsciously that
he recognized his color.
| Sympathy flowed in constant
stream from it's fountain in this great
heart. A mothers tears, baby's cry
fathers plea, crutch or an empty
sleeve never failed to move Lincoln
f'If he has no friend, I'll be his friend,
he said as he stopped the shooting OF
a soldier, under sentence of court
martial.

who pleaded for the life of her soldier
brother, you have come here with nc

congress to speak in your cause; you
seem honest and truthful and you

Lincolns office was almost his prison
cell through four terrible years. The
shouts of his two little boys at play
/ always were welcome notes of JOY to
their care-weighted father. He never

that he hates injustice and slavery,
he said simply to a friend. 81 see the
storm coming. / know his hand is in
it. If he has a place and work for
me-and l think he has, l believe I am
ready"
The cannon that called Lincoln to
his duty also was the signal gun that
heralded the birth of the Republican
party Joining the new party he be-
came at once its leader in Illinois ;
to his own surprise, the second man
in the baloting for its candidate for
vice president in 1856, and its candi-
date for senator in 1858 against Ste
phen A Douglas, the author OF the re-
peal.
While Lincoln made ready for that
campaign, as always in every hour OF
decision, he retired within himself. He
consulted no one and gave no hint OF
his line of attack until he called to-
gether a dozen friends and read to
them his opening speech, which began
with those immortal words: "a house
divided against itself cannot stand. L
believe that this government cannot
endure permanently half slave ana
half free 1t will become all

tive districts and was reelected, Dut

Most authorities agree that while to
dream of fire is a promise of good
luck, it also means that you are likely
to have a quarrel with friend though

EVERYWHERE IN AMERICA.

Not somewhere in America, but every
where today,
Where snow-crowned mountains hold
their heads, the wales where chill
dren play,
Beside the bench and whirring lathe,
on every lake and stream
And in the depths of earth below, men
share a common dream,
The dream our brave forefathers had
of freedom and of right.
And once again in honors cause, they
rally and unite.
Not somewhere in America is love OF
country found
But east and west and north and south
once more the bugles sound
And once again, as one, men stand to
break their brothers chains.
And make the world a better place,
where only justice reigns.
The patriotism that is here, is echoed
over there
The hero at certain post is on guard
everywhere.
Ger humble home and mansion rich
the starry banner flies
And far and near throughout the land
the men of valor rise.
The flag that flutters DER your home
is f1uttering far away
Ger homes that you have never seen.
i The same impulses sway
The souls of men in distant states,
The red, the white and blue
Means to one hundred million strong,
Just what t means to you,
The self-same courage resolute you
feel and understand
Is throbbng In the breasts of men
throughout this mighty land
Not somewhere in America, but every
where today
For Justice and for liberty all free men
work and pray

If she has difficulty in making the
fire burn, the omen is the reverse.
The scientists regard the fire dream
simply as a reminiscence from our
nursery days when. we were warned
not TO play with matches and schedule
this dream as one of the typical or
standard ones.
AS the scientists don't entirely agree
with the mystics, and the mystics don't
entirely agree among themselves with
regard to the significance of dream
fire, it would seem to be a case where
each of the rest of us was entitled to
his own opinion.

TINE iron-throated cannon of the

the stiffness of March dawn in 1854
with it's 100 exultant roars over the
repeal of the Missouri compromise,
awakened Lincoln to the great mis-

an unconscious preparation. After a
single term in congress, where his crit
icism of the Mexican war in the midst
of that conflict had left him unavail-

providentially failing to obtain the snug
berth of commissioner of the general
