THE DEVILS INK STAIN.
YOUR EYE AND AUTO.
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE -
The United States built giant diri-
gible, in ENGLAND, 1t fell, killed 81.
Another, built in ITALY, fell, killed
"a. Last week, the United States Yep
pelin, Fri, built HERE, by the Ameri
can Government, flew over New York
and started for Philadelphia, having
first travelled 100 miles over New Jer-
sew. Those who think the Government
can't do anything and must always
hire private assistance, take notice.
That great machine, looking like
silver coated fish, slowly travelling
through the air above New York, was
warning to the six millions Of that
city, and the whole country
In the morning, with the sun OBJ
secured by clouds, the air giant was
barely visible Had the captain chos-
en- to go few thousand feet higher,
it would have been absolutely invisible
Such a traveller coming out of the
misty dawn, above the edge Of the
ocean, would first make itself known
by dropping enough bombs to destroy
New York, enough deadly gas to xiii
three-quarters Of the inhabitants
The next war will be an air war.
This country should be ready for it.
Important. Bad news for farmers in
rapid spreading of the eel-worm dis
ease, imported from South Africa.
The eel-worm, fatal to alfalfa and 9th
or plants, in two years has spread
from Eastern Oregon to California and
Colorado.
Kansas, great alfalfa State, Col
orado and other States, should fight
this enemy as they would Asiatic chol
era. The tiny deadly pest might cost
farmers hundreds of millions yearly.
Yesterday you could buy a thou
sand million marks for $100. In 1914,
one thousand million marks were
worth $25O,OO0,0OO German money,
then worth two and one half million
dollars, is worth 81 now. That's what
war does when you lose. But that
won't discourage the next war like
nation.
The castle Of Wartborg is closed for
lack of money to keep it in repair.
The public can no longer see the room
in which Luther translated the Bible,
nor the big black spot on the wall
made by him when he threw the ink
well at the devil.
American Lutherans perhaps will
contribute to repairing the old cas-
tie and supply ink to freshen up the
ink stains, which have doubtless been
made fresh many a time in the past.
1t is a pity to let old stories die.
American school children saved
$9,50O,O0O n the last school year. The
money is nothing, the saving habit is
everything.
To teach children that poverty is
slavery, and can be avoided by reason
able saving, is the first duty of par
ents. The second duty is to teach chill
dren that after they have saved, they
must help others.
Exercise your eye muscles, and
avoid automobile accidents. That's
the advice given by DR.. Needles.
When you are in car going forty
miles an hour, you go about fifty eight
feet every second Unless your eye
can roll from one side to the other at
least twice in second, you can't
keep track of both sides of the road
and travel safely at that speed. Prize
fighters, filters, automobile drivers,
all require eye exercises to strength
en- the eye muscles. At best, they get
weak with old age. And a closed car
requires better eyes than an open car
The Prince of Wales, under the
name of Baron Renfrew, is in Canada
resting. In spite of his disguise a
crowd met him when he arrived. The
English know the value of Canada
now, and in future. The real England
may be Canada some time, with the
British Isles maintained as central
business office in Europe.
AS the great Roman Empire saw
the seat of power change from Italy
to Constantinople, so Britons of anoth
er century may see their imperial Par
liment and whatever is left Of the
royal family transplanted in Montreal
