SALVAGE WORK WORTH WHILE
Nothing In the World Of More Impor-
tance Than Stopping the Vast
age of Humanity.

If waste could be stopped the world
would soon grow rich. The worst
waste Of all Is the waste of humanity.
The saving of human beings is not
only spiritually but economically the
biggest job of salvage there Is.
The Salvation army has fine
watchword for the defeated and the
downcast, remarks the New York
Herald.
"You may be down, but you're new
err out" To convince man of its
truth is to start him anew on the up
ward path of self-support. The diff
ficulty is to get it into his head,
whether by mere persuasion or by the
convincing argument of the helping
hand When this can be accom-
plished it is victory over evil, tri-
umph over the forces OF gloom
To do this admirable thing, to kin
die the spark Of hope in the atmos-
phere Of hopelessness, to shock the
fellow who Is down and out, or thinks
he Is, out of his dull acquiescence In
misfortune, President Harding told an
audience in Washington was his IA
vorite hobby.
"If there is somewhere in the
world" he said, "a human touch that
awakens disappointment into hope,
that is the finest hobby in the world"
The saying is one Of the finest Of say
ings-humane, upward looking, lnspir-
ing, in the best spirit of broad re-
ligion and the mellowest attitude Of
natural sympathy.
To reach out the helping hand is a
possibility that comes again and again
to everyone. To make fad, hobby,
of help is so easy, so beautiful, that
1t need only be suggested to become
popular. And If the reason for the
existence Of hobby is to give pleas
ure TO the one who practices it, what
other is there that will yield richer
return than this2

"EvEN IF DADDY ISN'T THERE"
Little Girl Remembered to Offer Up
Prayer for Protection to the
Flremen.

There came to the kindergarten a
little new girl, who was as shy as
she was pretty. Demurely she fol-
lowed the other children around the
room and when they began building
with blocks she sat and watched
without saying a word. The teacher
was wondering whether or not she
could coax her to talk, when the fire
bell rang. Instantly the tot was on
her feet.
There's the fire bell, teacher" she
said, excitedly. "Count the rings,
won't your"
And, to please her, teacher counted
and reported the call. With look
Of happiness on her face the little
girl sat down.
THAT isn't my daddy's firehouse
number" she said, softly, but I'll have
to pray minute so none of the 9TH
err firemen get hurt"
For n few seconds her little head
was bowed and her lips moved. When
she came back to her blocks she ex-
planned to the teacher:
Mother and l always pray for
them, even IL daddy isn't therein

Old Flowers COMING Back.

The world is being frightened by
flowers that were held in high esteem
century, or centuries ago but which
lost caste or lost vogue with garden
makers, and florists, and suffered n
long period Of neglect. But they are
coming back You hear of and see
such old-fashloned things as bachelors
buttons, fuchslas, geraniums, phlax,
sweet Williams, pansles, hollyhocks
honeysuckle, syrlnga, lilacs, plnks,
snowballs, bridal wreath, sweet shrubs,
yerbena, heliOtrOpe, ageratum or paint
ers brush, marigold and calendula,
daffodlls, larkspur and mlgnonette.
These have kept themselves alive
for generations by blooming in the
back yards and even the front yards
Of unpretentious people and they have
led n more or less humdrum life in
the gardens Of houses that sot far
back in the country But they are
coming now into the fosslest Of gar
dens IN the cities and are lending their
beautiful bloom to those big-style
country homes which are called vii

Nap Costa Elephant Lie.

Molly, the pet elephant Of the chill
dren of Boston, is dead In the Frank
lin park ZOO. She, with her two com
panlons Waddy and Tony, was bought
with money the children raised.
Molly killed herself. Usually she
slept on her feet, but once In a while
she would lie down for nap. Thurs
day night she elected to lie on her
left side. She never got up.
Attendants found Molly struggling
on the floor In frantic efforts TO raise
her Observation-Disclosures weight to
her feet. She could not do It. The
heart, cramped by the all-night nap,
was too weak and finally Molly fell
back dead.

John Brett was in the seventh
heaven of happiness on Saturday
morning, and there were three dis
tinct contributing causes. First, 1t
was Saturday, and he did not have to
go to work that day; second, his new
suit had come home; third, and i'm
measurably greater, though in meas

received letter from Georgia Gaines.

wrote. "And then, perhaps, l shall

Brett, and flung the garments down

asked himself little later, and felt
for the letter. His pockets were empty.

WILL BE A FIGHT
ON GERMAN TREATY

Washington, Sept. 21.-Ratifica
of peace with Germany is not likely
to be the tame and peaceable af-
fair which seemed probable month
ago when the terms of the pact
were first made public.
Some opposition has developed
1t is improbable that the opposition
will be able to do anything more
than delay ratification, but unless
present signs are wrong, it will be
strong enough to make considerable
noise. Perhaps not more than a
dozen votes will be cast against the
treaty, but indications are that
there will be much debate, in which
every phase OF the internationa
situation will come in for discus
sion.
When the treaty was first pub
lished. no voice was raised against
it in the Senate. 1t was reported
to be acceptable to the ''irrecon-
ciliables" and even the Democratic
senator's who stood by President Will
son and the League of Nations to
the last ditch appeared to be friend
ly to the pact Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska was believed to be
voicing the sentiment of the Demo
Gratis when he declared he saw nc
reason for not ratifying the treaty
More careful study of the treaty
however, has convinced several OF
the 'irroconciliable" group on the
Republican side that the treaty
will involve the United States in
European disputes They fear that
ratification will enable President
Harding to appoint official Ameri-
can representatives on many of the
international commissions set up by
the treaty of Versailles and they
contend that this inevitably will
lead the United States into serious
entanglements abroad.

1t was Governor McRae's desire

with the instructions to Warden
Dempsey that guards be employed to
handle them. but under the army
regulations when machine guns be-
longing to the National Guard are
to be used, Suardsmen must accom-
pany them.
1t is believed that the honorary

meeting today, will discuss means for
a permanent guard for Slaughter.
Slaughter remained in a suilen

OF KU-

Attorney General Discusses
Matter Without Reaching

Summoned.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Thc De-
partmcnt of Justice is considering
whether federal action shall be taken
in connection with the activities of
the kuKlux Khan, Attorney General
Daughcrty said yesterday.
The attorney general discussed
the matter yesterday with District
Attorney Hayward of New York and
several of the assistant attorneys
general. but said that no conclusion
as to whether the federal govern
ment shall take part in the ques-
ton had been reached.
Any federal action against the
khan, Mr.. Daugherty said, probably
Will be under some statute covering
conspiracy. but the legal problem in
volved is somewhat complex. On its
face, he explained the literature of
the KuKlux Khan is not in violation
of the law.
What is to be determined, he said,
is what goes on behind the scenes,
the wink and the nod that turn
the trick"
The government, Mr.. Daugherty
said, is not to be run or inundated
by any man or organization behind
a mask. The activities OF the XII
Klux Khan, he added, will be given
the most careful consideration be-
fore any federal policy was decided
upon.
MIR, Daugherty said he would CON
fer today with Director Burns of
the bureau of Investigation, who
has been directed to look into the
question, and if the facts warrant,
will seek grand jury investiga-
ton of the kukluX Khan in some
district and urge Indictment against
any members where justified.

UNCLE DICK WOOTTON, KEEP
Err OF THE GATE IN
MOUNTAINS"

Richens Lacy Wootton his parents
In Virginia named him at his birth in
1876 Young Dick Wootton his com
panions in Ceran st. Vrain's trading
outfit called him in 1885 when he
joined them on the Santa Ee trail as
II teamster, but as Uncle Dick Woot-
ton, the keeper OF the gate ia the
mountains he WAS best known TO
every trapper, fur trader and Indian
fighter in the West.
Wootton's inexperience made him
the butt of many a joke among ST.
Nrain's veterans, and one incident did
not add greatly to his reputation
among them. One night when the
train had been corralled as usual Ia
circle, young Wootton was posted as
guard with orders to fire at any NOV
ing object outside the corral. After
some hours he saw form moving
about nearby, and promptly opened
fire. The traders, awakened by his
shot, rushed out, to find that young
Dick had killed one of their mules
which had wandered out OF the cor
raj. Dick soon lived down his blum
der, however, by his courage in fight
with band Of Comanches a few days
later Here Wootton killed his first
Indian.
Wootton became trspper and trad
e., and had many hard battle with
the Indians in his wanderings. He
won the undying friendship Of the
Arapahoes, however, by saving the life
of an Arapaho woman who vas lost
in a blizzard. They called him "Cut
Hand" because he had lost two fin
gers from one hand in a boyhood ac-
Cident.
During the Mexican war Wootton
served as a scout for Col William
Doniphan, and once was asked to car
ry dispatches back to Santa re
through a country Swarming with hos
tile Indians and enemy troops. He
was offered an escort but refused It,,
saying he could make it better alone.
He accomplished the perilous task,
and received the highest praise from
Doniphan for his feat.
In his later years Uncle Dick Woot-
ton. as he now was called, settled in
Ration pass, on the border line OF Col
orado and New Mexico.
When the Santa Fe railroad built
its line through Ration pass, one OF
the biggest locomotives was named
Uncle Dick" in honor of Noottop,
and the old scout always watched for
its appearance and smiled proudly as
