Superior School Children
Give Many Fine Baskets

The second grade of the Superior
avenue school rendered an interest
ing program to their parents and
friends Wednesday afternoon, pre-
ceding Thanksgiving. Thanks to the
efforts of their teacher, Miss Annie
Brumfield, each child knew his part
perfectly. The plays, songs and reel
tations were we'll chosen and gave
evidence of her ability as primary
instructor.
After the program the thanks Of
ferings of the children were arranged
in boxes for members of the Parent
Teachers Association. There were
good things galore in their generous
contents, which included meat, staple
and fancy groceries, home canned
delicacies, fruit, candy and other
goodies, each box being valued at
about SIS.
Through the courtesy of ]. c. Mills
the boxes were distributed to the less
fortunate in very short time.
The children enjoyed their own
Thanksgiving 100 per cent more,
having learned the lesson that lit is
more blessed to give than to receive"

MALTA
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1921, by Frank Crane)

In the New Testament in the account Of the cruel
tlon 1T is related that Jesus IN His agony upon the
cross cried out llama sabachthani And it is curious
fact that there is still, after lapse of some two
thousand years, people who use exactly the same eX
preston in addressing friend whom they would
charge with neglect.
These are the people of the Islands of Malta,
small point in the Mediterranean The original stock
OF the common people is Punic, and Carthagenlan
names are common, such as Hamilcar, especially III
Coco, where the race is purest.
From recently published account of the islands
by Mr. T. Hainssein, R. NJ are gathered the following
items, which may be of interest to most of u.s. to whom
Malta has been but name learned in school geography
and afterwards heard only in connection with Maltese
cats, Maltese crosses, and the Knights of Malta.
Mr. Hainsselin says the Maltese might be called
the Irish of the Mediterranean For several reasons
First the purer Maltese stock, found more ex-
tensvey among the aborng class look not unlike the
Irish Maltese farm worker, trudging along the road
with his short dudheen in his mouth, might we'll be
taken for man from Connemara.
Second, the Maltese are intense Roman Catholics
And third, although under British rule, Malta pre-
serves sharp spirit of Nationalsm They fercely
jealous of their rights Maltese.
There is strong Nationalist party (that Nigh well
be called Sim Fein-for Ourselves Alone) and for
long time it's members refused to take their seats in the
government parliament, and supported red-hot Ma
tionalist press.
The so-caled upper classes are rather ashamed of
the Maltese dialect, and speak English and Italian
The extreme upper crusters claim to be descendants Of
the kngntS.
High born ladies' however although ordinarily
dressing like Europeans careful to put on the ma
tive garb when they attend church Most of the island
women dress in black; wear peculiar peaked headgear
and look as if they might be nuns.
The Maltese islands comprise an area of little
over hundred square miles. The population is more
densey packed than in any European country except
Belgium.
There are very many towns, each with its beauti-
full church, and two cities of considerable sze which
ic Wala+
the seaport and the other Ctta Vecchia which British
sailors call Shivery Wick. A government railway, six
miles, long, connects them.
The Maltese are sturdy and Industrious. They
make good searnen.
The average Maltese can understand Arabic with
out much trouble although they pretend to- as they
do not wish to appear to have anything to do with
Mahometanism. singular fact is that the Maltese
word for God is Allah.
Their language has a close affinity to New Testa-
ment Aramac. The islands beautiful and interest

ence of racial and provincial traits and customs.

A Family Of Promoters
When Matthias SHINES died in 1S45
his business had expanded enormous
ly so that it included not only river
shipping but mining and the market
ing of coal. 1t had become so COM
plicated and varied, in fact, that one
man could scarcely handle it, but
Matthias ii. somehow managed to
take care Of it and keep it in the
possession of the family, which in
cluded his three brothers and three
sisters. Upon his death in 1853 he
passed the responsibility on to Gus
tav, the oldest of the three brothers,
and the father OF the amazing Hugo
Stinnes who now engages the atten-
ton of the world.
Hugo exhibited unusual talent for
managing his share OF the SHINES
possessions at an early age. Con-
timing his education to commercial
subjects, he entered the SHINES firm
when he became 19. but soon felt the
need for larger fields to conquer
Accordingly, two years later he es-
tablished his own firm, laying the
foundation for an Independent
career. Not until the outbreak of
the war, however, did he find his real
opportunity for complete self-ex-
preston. The history of all his skill
ful manipula tions would made a
pretty tale, but suffice 1t to say that
he entered the war period only a
moderately rich man and came out
with billions. And since the armis-
tice he has achieved even greater
wealth and power
In amusing contrast to his spec
tacular exploits is the personal ap-
pearance of the man himself, who is
described by DIR. Brickmeyer. his BIZ
ographer as resembling nothing so
much as "a wandering lump of coal"
"He has compact body" writes
Brickmeyer, upon which is set a big
head. His hair is close cropped,
black; his face large and pale. his
beard black as coal. his nose bent,
his eyes deep set. AN Assyrian king
that is what a German paper re-
Gently dubbed him.
"His manner is absolutely without
straightforward heavy, firm.
He walks with a slight stoop. shuf-
fling along like a seafarer. His
clothes and habits are simple.
1T is remarkable" he comments,
"how the traits and leanings of old
Matthias SHINES have reappeared in
his grandson. In him we find the
same restless spirit. the same daring.
the same talent for combination and
construction; but these powers find
their application ON an infinitely
greater scale. Never in the economic
history of Germany was the time so
propitious as today for constructive
genius"

tions. We believe that is what the advanced
prison reformers tell that criminals be

the form Of elevation.
We do not give the high bred Angora cat credit

which, it is predicted, will be twice
the size OF the p-e-war fleet of the
Hamburg American line, and which
win be entirely outside of the control
of the allies" He is reported to
have an agent, or staff of agents,
in every important foreign port,
many of whom are not openly but
secretly in his employ. His agencies
in Russia are said to be particularly
innportana and powerful, mad it is be-
Heved that his clever negotiations
with British. capitalists are respon-
sible for the fact that the soviet
government has been recognized and
that Russia is once more in CONNER
cial communication with the world.
In short, SHINES appears to be a
whole nation in himself.
His Sudden Rise
It is no wonder. then, that he has
captured the imagination of Europe,
and that even the German people
marvel at his energy and ability
especially since the man was scarcely
known before the war. His rise has
been sudden, and achieved solely
through his own, extraordinary abil-
ity and effort. AS an American
newspaper man puts it, SHINES
burst like a comet upon the aston
ished post war world" Yet he is not
what we Americans call a self made
man, for he inherited a considerable
fortune, as we'll as his superior busi-
ness genius from hisC grandfather.
When he was born on Feb. %. 1870,
writes his admiring biographer, DIR.
Herman Bricknleyer, there lay
ready to his hand the means by
which he might achieve the tremend-
Gus results upon which he can now
look back"
The grandfather, Matthias SHINES,
according to DR., Bricknleyer. settled
in Mulheim on the Rhine In 1905.
where he soon became known for his
courage, strong win and business sa-
gacity. He invested his small capital
in coal barges and gradually built UP
an important coal. carrying line be-
tween Cologne and Holland. After q
time he, established his own ship
building plant and began construct
ingshis own barges, so that by 1920
the number of craft owned by the
SHINES firm had increased to 6S.
Twenty years later, however. when
the practically of the steamboat had
been we'll established. Matthias Stin-
mes decided to scrap his slow, horse

err This substitution. was bitterly
opposed by the Rhinelanders. who
had been furnishing the horses for
towing the barges and disliked to
see a good source of profit swept
away. SHINES was informed that
upon the appearance of the first
steamboat used to. tow his barges
there would be trouble.
This warning proved to be accu-
rate. When the first steamboat ar
rived at a. certain point near Neu-
wied on the -Rhile it was greeted
with volley OF rifle shots from the
bank. But to the discontinue Of the
enemy. the steamboat swept haugh-

NEW YORK CITY-An exasperat-
ing feature of Germany's inability to
pay its war debts, at least in the
eyes of its victorious neighbors. is
the present enormous prosperity of
one German-Hugo SHINES. The old
Germany Of the HohenzolIerns is
crushed and beaten and bankrupt,
but the new Germany, which is large
ly under the control of SHINES, is
quite lively and vigorous and by no
means poverty stricken. Yet 1t can
not be attached by its creditors, be-
cause. while the idea has been sug-
gested, the allies do not feel at lib
erty to attach the property of pri-
vate individual.
Its really quite annoying" ex-
plains an American who has Just re ;
turned from Europe. The allies have
found themselves in much the same
position as the creditors OF the man

property to his wife few days be-

course. Germany did not act delibe-
rately; but the fact remains that the
majority of its natural and industrial
resources seem to have passed into
the hands of SHINES during the war.
It was a case of when the Allies got
there the cupboard was bare
Just how much of Germany SHINES
owns is not precisely known. Some
say he owns practically all Of II.
Others assert that his wealth and
power have been greatly overesti-
mated. One hears all sorts of strange
and fantastic rumors concerning him.
There are those who insist that he
plans for the reinstatement of the
Hohenzollerns with himself in the
position of premier while others de-
clare that, he is working for the COM
plete specialization of the German
state. Some see in him the most
stabiIizing factor in the new relations
of Europe and others point to him
as "the new shadow on the world"
At any rate. whatever may be his
secret aims, he is unquestionably. the
most picturesque and disturbing per-
sonality in Europe today.
His Many Enterprises
In the first place Europe is not
accustomed to oibillion- dollar capital
lists as we are here, in America. and
the sudden rise of such a pheriome-
non against the general, poverty
stricken background of Germany is
sufficiently novel to attract attention
all over the world, In the second
place, SHINES has not limited his
activities to one industrial line. but IS
engaged in a. wide variety Of enter
prises, including mining. coal trade,
ocean and river shipping. electric
power plants, gas plants, export and
import, lumber mills. iron and steel
foundries, hotels, tourist travel, he.
development OF health resorts and
the publication of newspapers. He
is said to own a chain OF so news
papers, scattered throughout Ger
many and neighboring countries.
Indeed, there is no important in,

accounts, with which Hugo SHINES
is not connected. To keep the con-
