FAULTY GLOVES MEAN DEATH
Good Reason Why Electric Llnemen
 Take Especial Care of the Rubber Hand Coverings.

You would be extremely careful in your selection of pair of gloves If you knew that a rip or tear would probably cost you your life.
 This Is the case in which the cleo trlc llneman finds himself, we are told by a writer In the American Machln- iSt. He then goes on and describes the linemen's gloves and the great care with which they are tested. He says:
 "S0me day when you are walking along a main-traveled road, where traf- fic is piled back as far as one can see, and lIncmcn are repairing a broken wire, stop and watch them work.
 "The gloves they wear tell a unique story. Probably the line they are han ding Is alive and carrying electric current enough to cause instant death; yet they pick 1t up, twist 1t, splice 1t as nonchulantly as though handling a fishing tackle. They are able to pick up the live wire because of the rubber gloves they wear.
 "Dld you know that these gloves are today made according to rigid specii- cations completely standardized, and that no purchasing agent dare buy rub Der gloves until he has thoroughly tested them? No glove can be marked with the manufacturers name or with the size In such a manner as to injure 1t in any way. The gloves must each be more than If inches long and the average thickness not less than 0.06 inch. They must have a tensile strength of 1900 pounds per square inch and bear having two inches of their surface stretched to 12 inches without a rupture. The gloves must be capable of withstandIng the appli- cation of 1S,OOO volts without pune turing"
 Man to Avoid.
 Beware of the man of the harsh and Sneering voice, he that neve. laughs and rarely smiles, for in tn: heart of him there lleth much cruelty and treason and the cowardlce that turks to Smite unawareR-Jan Ban Jansen.

Train Wreckers

RANC1S LYNDE runs true to
r. form in depicting tho hero Of
his new novel. "The Wreckers'
(Scribner's). Graham Norcross is an
aggressive, two-fisted American railway
engineer with a capacity for getting
things done. He undertakes the job of
rescuing a small Western railroad from
the clutches Of clique Of Wall Street
speculators and local grafters and run
ming It on a basis Of service and ef-
fcicncy.
His task is far from easy. His op-
ponent. are about as unscrupuous a
gang Of criminals as can be imagined
outside tho penitentary: and they are
as ready to commit a murder or to
wreck train as to smoke a cigar. Nor
cross finally wins out, however, partly
through his own indomitable courage,
partly through the alert devotion OF
his secretary, young Jimmie Dodd, who
tells the story of his chiefs adventures

draws from the business, yet he re-
mains on the old friendly footing with
his erstwhile associate. He withholds
his assent to his daughters marriage
with ore who has abandoned tho faith
and she goes away with her lover; but
there is no rancor in David's grief.
He refuses his blessing to his young
son. who is about to go to battle; but
the lad departs with his fathers un~
spoken benediction. In the face Of
every anguish that can come to him
David holds no hate in his heart. The
final curtain finds him alone with his
old friend and former partner, saying,
yea, the long trailing years will pass,
Still dcws Of quietness will water the
earth, and in the fullness Of time the
vision will come TO pass
In all OF this there are many small

er, refuses a commission to enlist as
a privatc-he is little too noble to
be true, anyhow. And some Of the
love passages are so "sweet and ten

eaten than to be spoken.
However, these shortcomings are not
irremediable. Throughout there IS a
nobility of diction rare in contemporary
drama. The characterised whom the

a Biblical mode which, strange as

A Jewish Epic
Colorful Story of Life in
Lithuanian Village

1T IS in thu countries Of eastern
i Europe, especially In Poland, Lithu
ania, Rumania and the Ukraine,
that tho Jewish people have preserved
most effectively their distinctive racial
qualities and their cultural autonomy
Ia Germany, France, England and
America the general tendency among
Jews, ardent Zionists excepted, is to
become assimlated with the mass Of
their fellow citizens. But in the more
primitive lands east Of the Vistula,
where their sense Of racial loyalty is
sometimes strengthened by cruel per
secution, the Jews arc set off from
their Christian ncighbors at once by
dress, by language and by customs.
1t is there that the Mosaic rites and
the ancestral traditions are most faith
fully practiced and respected. It is
there that the scene Of Jewish epic
should logically be laid
"a Lithuanian Village" by Leon
Kobrtn. translated by Isaac Goldberg
Brcntano's), is such an epic. With
strokes that are characte erized By hu-
NOR and sympathy and discernmcnt
the author depicts the daily life of the
village; the simple joys and cares
Of community quite cut off from the
outside world and united within itself
by the double bond Of race and religion
Toward the close Of the book new
note of adventure and pathos creeps in
as the more daring of the young men
and young women begin to slip away to
America amid the cries and lamenta
tions Of their elders. Soon stories of
the fabulous wealth Of the new coun-
try begin to arrive; and the population
Of the village steadily dwindles unit
it is finally inhabited only by few
| old men. The new world has con
quered; tho Lithuanian Jewish village
sinks peacefully into oblivion, more
fortunate than many similar villages
which have been ruthlessly harried b.
contending armies during tho last few
years.
Mr.. Kobrin does not attempt to pro
ject any deep spiritual or emotiona
images upon his realistic background

Old. There arc rumblings Of democracy,
but these can be made impotcnt If
new and endless supplies Of darker
peoples can be drawn on ceaselessly
IN far-oH colonies to do the scavenrer
work OF the world. To make this
morally justi6able, since no white ma
ton proceeds on anything without
moral justification. it must be made to
appear that these races, yellow, white
and brown, are Of an inferior and soul
less sort, "half devil and half child"
In the German lust for colonies which
was the basis Of the present war lay
an illustration Of the workings of white
culture which laid world waste.
1t is not strange therefore that race
exclusions, carefully implanted, come
to clash with the greed for cheap Ia
Dor and the result is-East St. Louis.
1t is for seeing this question of the
negro in all its cultural, ethical and
economic ramifications, for weaving
1t into the fabric Of modern sociology.
for applying world values to
parochial problem, for keeping in sight
always the sanctity of the single hu-
, man soul that Du Bois must be hailed
as having written a profoundly stirring
! book. He has written it with passion
and poetry and imagery and an abiding
love for his own traditions. "The Soul
of White Folks THE Servant in the
House" The Damnation of Women"
The Immortal Child"-in all of these
is the realism that achieves the ulti-
mate poetry.
It is not a sterile hatred that Du Bois
voices 1t is an affirmation of the in
lerent dignity Of all men of whatever
color in which our eighteenth century
philosophers so touchingly believed.
How may one fling back at this How
deny it's wisdom? Paint with all riot
of hateful colors the thin skin Of
European culture, is it not better than
any culture that arose in Africa or
Asia? 1t is. Of this there is no doubt
and never has been. Is it because
Europeans are better, nobler, greater
and more gifted than other folk? 1t
is not. The greatness of Europe
has lain in the width of the stage on
which she has played her part. Because
Of the foundations which the mighty
past have furnished her to build upon;
the iron-trade of ancient, black Africa,
the religion and empire of
Asia, the art and science of the "dago"
Mediterranean shore, east, south and
west as we'll as north. And where she
mas builded securely upon this great
past and learned from it she has gone
forward to greater and more splendid
human triumph; but where she has ig
nored this past and forgotten and
sneercd at 1t, she has shown the cloven
hoof Of poor, crucified humanity-she
has played, like other empires gone,
the world fool!"

The Real Jane Austen
Charge of Primness Unfounded in the Light of
the Novehst's Personality

description Of one Dr. Hall who was
in such very deep mourning that either
his mother, his wife, or himself must
be dead" DIR. Firkins has assembled a
palatable collection of Miss Avsten's
auips, cranks and wanton wiles, and his
own obvious enjoyment of them de-
tracts nothing from his spritely discus
sion.
AS a novelist, Miss Austen probably
would have been more In her element
to-day than In her own time, but recent
constitutional amendments would have
taken most o. the joy out of her life.
Or. Firkins, after revealing her inter
est in food, adds that her affection for
wine is unconcealed" We learn that
Miss Austen fancied not only wine, but
that she had an equal affection for
mead, port, Madeira and sprucs-beer.
Jane also was capable Of dancing
twenty times in an evening without
fatigue and sometimes she played at
cards when the stakes were not too
high.
