Business Has Turned the Corner

So declared Charles Schwab, steel magnate,
before gathering of business men at Youngs-
town, Ohio, few days ago. But he pointed to the
danger in an accelerated resumption, fearing
that if it comes too quickly, we will forget the
lesson of economy which the depression taught.
After saying that the government must keep
its hands off the ships and railroads, if they are
to be successful, and insisting 'the less legisla-
ton the better" Mr.. Schwab praised the attitude
of labor during the readjustment and said rail-
road and mining costs must be reduced before we
can obtain permanent prosperity.
His views are accepted with degree of final
ty in all parts of the country, because he is an
outstanding figure in the industrial development
of the country and has brought to the steel
industry high ideals pertaining to both the obi
cations of the owners and the workers.
In his speech, Mr.. Schwab, as he often does,
departed from his subject long enough to make a
few common sense remarks and to encourage the
practice of thrift as basis for happiness in the
home and in the business world.

the country" he said to cite one of his nterpola-
lions. ut will not do man any good to make

can have everything she desires, but the great
est pleasure of her life is taking care of her home.
1t should be so with every woman. The home life
should be the biggest thing in her life. don't
think that will be popular with the women, but if
women would realize that home positions are the
greatest thing in the world they would go to them
quicker"
What he said in this respect of the duty of the
women of the nation holds true in no less degree
of the men also. Fathers cannot rear good boys
unless they make their homes the radiating
center of spiritual qualities. Good boys thrive
in wholesome atmosphere Nothing can take the
place of the home
Parents who believe that organizations,
formed for the purpose of promoting the welfare
of the youth, can do this work for them, deceive
themselves most woefuly, and in time learn their
mistake in heartaches and regrets.
And So when Mr.. Schwab points out that bus
mess has turned the corner he sapiently implies
that not the least part of making conditions
better is more attention to home life where the
very foundation of all success must be laid.
Energetic fathers and mothers who look upon the
rearing of their children as a mighty important
business project are helping in readJustlng the
country and elevating it to higher plane. They
are training the future Schwabs and Edlsons, and
rearing the generation that can carry forward

STA was second before the war with

Q. Since the sun has such terrific
heat, why doesn't it burn itself up?-
w. E. NJ
A. The source of the vast amount
of heat which the sun gives off can
not be the result of combustion, for if
such were the case, it would have been
consumed long ago. The Helmoholtz
theory is generally accepted. 1t as
sumes that the suns bulk is gradually
contracting. and that the energy thus
produced is turned into heat. 1t has
been calculated that contraction of
$50 feet year would be enough to &C
count for the heat developed.
@. Is there legal phrase art and

A "Art and part" is Scotch law
phrase, meaning an accessory before

be art and part" of a crime when he
contrives the manner of the deed, and
concurs with and encourages those
who commit the crime, although he
does not put his own hand to the &C

A The saying "a bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush" is common
ly used, but it probably originated
from one of the proverbs of John Hey

bourgeoise party will be are matters
for conjecture.
Admiral Scheer is talked of as the
probable candidate of the bourgeoise
party The admiral is still hero in
the fatherland. He led the German
fleet in the battle of Jutland.
Although he played a prominent
part in the war he was not numbered
among the leaders in the inner circle
of the kaiser's ollowers-which now
reacts in his favor. The well-known
monarchistic ideas of Won Hindenberg
and several other war figures have
made them unacceptable as candidates
of the main parties.
The date of the election is uncer
tain, however, as there is talk now OF
postponing the election until there are
sufficient funds for holding it. In the
meantime Admiral Scheers candidacy
is being doomed.

Ripping Rhymes
AT HON &
BY Walt Mason

When evening, balmy time of peace,
succeeds the busy day, l sometimes
take my aunt and niece to see moral
play. More often, though, we stay at
home, and, while the women sew, l
read aloud helpful pome or tale by
E. P. Roe. The evening is a thing of
charm, boon to danes and men; at
home we're snug and safe from harm,
and go to roost at ten. And in the
streets, throughout the night, the
roisterers proceed; they make the
solemn hours fright, the way they
die and bleed. Red murder stalks
along the slums, assassins slug and
STAY, and in the dawn the crowner
comes, and loads men in a dray. The
victims of the knife and gun might
years of comfort know, if they at
home would look for fun, and read the
works of Roe. Back numbers like my
niece and aunt will stay at home with
me, but nearly all the young ones pant
some midnight larks to see A goodly
book beside the lamp is much too tame
and stale; far better trot with tough
and vamp, and wind up in Jail; it
is q punishment, they think, to spend
a night at home, and where the bright
lights glare and blink on giddy feet
they roam. But to the street that
roars and glares the wise youth does
not go; he seats himself in two arm.
chairs and reads some books by Roe.
