GARMENTS may be renovated and re-
modelled into useful clothes for the
younger members of the family. There
are more possibilities in making over
clothing for children than for adults,
because smaller amounts of material
are necessary. Materials that are too
old i'm weave, color or figure should
not be used unless this fault can be
d&guisedi Sametimes Che addition
of contrasting color will solvf this
problem.
The following preparation is esen-
tial for best results in ~re-making:
Careful ripping, removing all the
threads;
Mending worn places in parts to be
used;
Brushing;
Removal of stains, or sponging,
washing or dyeing;
Careful pressing not to alter shape
Among the points which should be
given consideration before attempting
to make a made-over garment are the
following:
Is the material worth making over?
Time may be saved by planning the
new garment before ripping the
old one.
Do not use expensive trimmings
OF expensive new material with
worn cloth. 1t is apt to make the
old material look shabby by con-
trast.
Pieces or worn places may be hidden
by tucks, plaits or trimming, such
as buttons, thread or embroidery.

THE VALUE OF INVESTED CAPITAL.

The failure of the Whittier Motor Company
must drive home to Kenosha people the neces-
s1ty OF invested capital in the development of
great industry. That this company should
have found it impossible to weather the fnan-
clal storms which have struck it is regrettable
1t was distinctive Kenosha industry, and
whatever building there was was | 1t b. Ke-
nosha men,
The company had an excellent product It
was made up largely Of enthusiastic young men
who knew how to build things right and who
built them right. These men, by the desirable
ity of their product, built up valuable trade
name. and they built that name because their
product was worthy.
The company did not fail because it lacked
product or because it lacked enthusiasm
There has been no suggestion of unfair or
crooked business methods, and the whole story
OF the failure resolves itself into the report "It
lacked invested capital"
It takes brains and Drawn and money to
build up an industry. 1t can be added that the
proportion of the mixture must be carefully
studied.
With less invested capital, the Whittier COM
pany might have grown great if it had the in
terest which invested capital usually gives to
any undertaking. The personal equation. in in
dustry cannot be overlooked. 1T is that per-
sonal equation which has built up most of the
great industries of the nation.
Kenosha owes the success of Nash Motors.
Allen A, Simmons and almost every other in
dustry it has not only to the money which the
men who have built have put into them, but
even more to the work that these men have
given. Invested capital is the most valuable
asset of any industry but it becomes doubly val
liable when invested interest goes along with
every dollar of capital
There may be some new industry built upon
the failure of Whittier company It's plant is
an asset to Kenosha which must not be lost.
and Kenosha must see to it that there is some
other invested capital which will come into the
city and couple invested interest in way to
make successful industry.
The men who tried to make WHITTIER Motors
a real success are not to be blamed for it's fail
ure. Possibly they have not shown all the bust
ness wisdom of the ages, but they have shown
the best they had. They needed the advice and
the stabilizing influence which comes to lot Of
people, but it is one that every man who dab

Strikes Marked u. S.
In the Past Year

New YOrk.-The outstanding purely
domestic features of 1922 in this coun-
try were the coal and rail strikes. OF
these the coal strike was the more i'm
portant, as it was and is acutely felt
by practically the whole Country.
Thousands of people are now suffer
ing from the lack of fuel, and, accord
ing to authorities, no immediate relief
is in sight. TIE rail strike, with the
consequent weakening of transporta-
ton facilities is in part responsible
for the present coal condition.
After numerous negotiations had
failed the miners suspended operations
on April /. They demanded raise in
wages and the operators threatened a
cut. The strike affected 100000 min
ers, 260 colleries and SO companies
Many casualties resulted from battles
between the miners and bands of
strike breakers, the greatest tragedy
being the Herrin, massacre, in which
20 men lost their lives.
The miners and the operators reach
ed an agreement in Philadelphia on
Sept. 2, which was signed in Scranton
on Sept. 9. Operations were resumed
on Sept. IL. The agreement is to hold
for one year. Although their demands
were not granted, the miners claim a
victory, because their wages were not
cut.
The rail strike began on July 1,
when nearly all of. the 100000 union
rail shopmen walked out. Troops were
called out in various parts of the coun-
try to quell disorders, and travel was
completely tied up in many sections.
| One of the features of the early part
| of the strike was the NARROWING of IL
transcontinental trains with $500 pas
| sengeFs in the Arizona desert. Several
pitched battles were fought and dozens
of bridges burned
The year was also marked by many
disasters. In major wrecks and air
crashes, 155 people were killed. In
mine accidents, storms and floods 261
more lost their lives.
! The ArgOnaut mine disaster in which
Al men died on August 27 was one of
the most sensational. Sixty died in one
hurricane in New York on June II, and
90 IN the Texas floods on April IS.
The principle deaths were: Major

HONEST ABE"

Again we observe the anniversary of Abra-
ham Lincoln's birth in 1909. And it occurs to
many of us that Lincoln is steadily becoming
greater with the passing of the years. He died
in 1865-only So years ago, which is a short
period in humanity's history-but already he
is being glorifed into an almost legendary
character That is because history is classify
ing him as force rather than as man. His
philosophy of personal liberty and the proper
inter-relationship of human beings is, today, a
world influence.
From log cabin and obscure poverty to the
presidency and international fame! Lincoln
towers as an indelble reminder of what Amer
lea offers to real ability regardless of humble
origin. Surely the career Of Honest Abe is a
constant inspiration to all Americans strug-
Cling to make this better world for them
selves and for others.

"FIGGERS".

America imported 4S,646,94S tons of
goods from other countries, in the fis-
cal year ended last June 80. In the
same time, shipped abroad only $685.
004 tons of exports. We ferret this
out of a long and complicated govern
ment report.
On the surface, it looks as if we are
losing out in foreign trade. But tons
do not tell the full story, anymore
than money value. For instance, we'd
have to import many tons of lumber to
equal one ton of costly chemicals ex-
ported. Statistics tell more truth
than any other form of knowledge
also, more lies.

CRIME.

Crimes involving money are decreas-

dent of American Surety Co., which
bonds cashiers and others entrusted
with funds.
Lafrentz, reporting that less money
is being stolen, conveys the popular
idea that there was great epidemic of
dishonesty during the war boom To
some extent, yes. But the thieves were
stealing 50-cent dollars. Thefts in
creased because there was more money
to be stolen. The ratio of theft to
stealable dollars probably never show
ed any material increase. In buying
power, criminals plumber does not vary
materially from year to year. A crook
stealing dollar now is getting only
half as much as before the war.

Now they are beginning to jugge figures to

any one great industry which has come to Ke-

the taxes of the state, both property and in
come, are paid by the companies which had
their investments in Wisconsin under safe and
sane industrial development. If Wisconsin was
