there a definite decision = of the
board that the strikebreakers shall
be given seniority rights over the
strikers or that the latter had for
feited them. This paves the way
for consideration without preju-
dice Of the whole problem by the
labor board.
Strategy Of Silence.
Mr.. Harding of course expected a
complete acceptance by the rail-
road workers who have been on
strike and until he had that his
strategy was necessarily one of
silence. II the White house modi-
fled its position on seniority before
the workers could take formal &C
ton on the compromise proposal
laid before them by President
Harding sucna course might inter-
fere with the acceptance by the
union representatives of the plan
itself and further complicate the
l
party is powerful influence in
any strike crisis. II it should be-
come necessary to modify the third
point in the proposal to the effect
that the seniority question be left
to a national arbitration board or
some other impartial tribunal so as
to afford the railroads graceful
way to recede, the governments po-
sition as a mediator would be
strengthened.

Vincent Possessed2

Vincent wanted fame more than any
thing else when he was young man,
and he bent all his energies TO at
tanning it; but though it came to many
of his friends it passed him by.
Later, he thought that, after all .
he would rather have money, fol-
money could buy almost anything, but
every venture that promised success
turned out to be a failure. He be-
came somewhat bitter, for money
seemed to come of itself to others.
He had many friends who held cor
porations, titles, and in some cases
almost the country, in their power.
He looked on it in envy, for though he
tried with every power within him, he
could not make others follow, and his
friends seemed to do it easily and
naturally.
He hated women. But they followed
him around. Everywhere he went some
woman was sure to'dog his footsteps.
And all the other men, who won
other things in life, looked on in envy
at the ease with which he won them

"The watch belonged to Captain
Stafford who was lost with the Mi

He made no reply; but waited.

GUARDS WOOL FROM MOTHS
New Preparation Said to Preserve the
Fabric From Depredations
of the Pests.

A preparation has been discovered
in Europe which, it is claimed, makes
wool immune from the ravages of
moths. 1t is in the form of powder,
which, before it is applied, is mixed
in water with small quantity of sui
phuric acid for Atwood goods, formic
acid being used for half-wool.
The wool itself Is said not to be
affected by the application, and only a
few colors, very slightly. In case no
alkalies are brought into contact with
1t the wool remains mOth-proof when
washed. Tests made with two pieces
of wool cloth exactly alike, in which
moth eggs were placed, resulted, in the
course of six months, in the entire dis
appearance of the untreated fabric,
whereas the wool which had been
treated remained intact.

CUT-OVER WOODLOT FAVORED
Value Increased In After Years by
Taking Out Detective and Un-
desirable Trees

The owner of farm woodl0t who
is looking to the future as we'll as to
the present will prefer what is known
as IAN improvement cutting" to Il less
systematic harvesting os his timber
crop, forestry specialists declare. They
say that it will pay the GARNER to
leave standing considerable percent
age Of those kinds Of trees which he
wants TO encourage In his woodlCt.
These trees will seed the soil and fill
up the gaps left by the cutting.
All logging operations should be
made with the preservation and extern
sion Of the stand Of young growth In
mind.
II Is considered a good practice ar
the first cutting IN remove trees like
the chestnut, aspen, ironwood and
beech, since they are considered less
desirable and satisfactory in New
York wOodlots.
Stag-headed, batt-injured and heavy
foliaged. limby trees of every variety
may likewise be disposed of ut the
first cutting.
White pine. white ash, Eastwood,
red oak. hard maple, tulip. poplar.
and in some cases even hemIock should
be encouraged.
