who either notices the crumbs on
table or floor, who throws them
away, or through whose fingers
they glide, will be the benefactor
of those around him or her. AS it
very often happens that the person
SO designated by your dream may
not be known to you, you will
have to try. by careful remember
ing, to recall some resemblance
either in figure, face. color or hair.
or eyes. to place the right person.
No matter how many people may
be present in your dream, you will
be the beneficiary of these good
deeds, but on the other hand. If it
is your hand that toys with bread
crumbs. the number of people ap-
parently present at the time is a
very important factor in the in
depreciation of the dream.

SUCCESS OF COMMUNITY CHEST

The National Information Bureau
reports that thirty millions of dollars
we're raised and dispensed for charit-
able purposes last year by the 21,O0O,-
600 inhabitants of 129 American
cities that operate community chests.
This is SLAB per capita of the popu-
lation of these cities. The money was
raised through the combined efforts
of $500 philanthropic organizations
which pooled their resources in the
community chest. The larger proper
ton of the cities of 100000 of popu-
lation have adopted the community
chest idea.
The benefit of the system is indis-
putable. 1t is sound and economic
1t makes for gertrude. 1t does away
with duplication of effort and it re-
lieves the giver of the responsibility
and worry of vain endeavor so to place
his charity donations that they may
go into the right channels. The COM
munity chest, through acting as a
clearinghouse for all the charitable
organizations, is positive help to
each through the accuracy of it's
knowledge of real needs. Advanced
policy has long ago departed from
purely emotional and thoughtless CIV
ing. 1t wants it done Understandings
and on result-getting basis. Charity
operates best when it is. sensible. The
community chest serves that end.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
MEN
The Mother of jaime. A. Garfield

The Mother Of James A. Garfield
Eliza Ballou was directly de-
scended from the French Hugue-
nots. who fled to America in 1856
to avoid persecution in their
fatherland; and from these hardy
ancestors who would not give up
their religion. even in the face of
death and torture, she inherited a
vast amount of sturdiness and
grit.
Mrs. Garfield was early given
the opportunity to show her met
tle,s and when she was left
widow with four children. the
youngest, James. only 2 years old,
she turned her shoulder to the
wheel and proved one of the finest
examples of pioneer mother that
this country has ever known. Her
only source of income was a large
but undeveloped farm in the will
derness, and on which was a small
log cabin that was their home.
But courage and ability were not
lacking in this woman, and she
managed the farm, did her own
spinning and sewing, and still had
time to care for her family. Their
mental welfare was no more neg
lected than their physical, for
Mrs. Garfield, an intelligent wom-
an, had been a school teacher and
was intellectual and refined as
well. and was therefore able to
instruct her children at home. SO
that James started school at the
age of 4.
Like Lincoln, this second of our
martyred Presidents started life
In log cabin, and owed all his
success to the early training and
guidance of his mother. cheerful.
kindly and God-fearing, woman,
who had the molding of his char
acter and mind in his tender
years.

ONE TRICK A DAY
Red, White and Blue

This is a little trick where the
essentials of the disappearing
handkerchief trick are put into
use. There Is. first, hollow tube
about an inch in diameter and
about four inches long. Through
the center Of this. diagonally
across the diameter, is placed a
small rod which passes through
the metal on each side. To the
ends Of this a small fork. made Of
a piece of bent wire, Is placed.
This leaves the tube free to re-
volve.
To the end of the fork affix a
rubberized cord about a foot long,
and attach it to the loop Of the
trousers.
Now, in one end of the tube.
place a red silk handkerchief. and
in the other a blue one. The per-
former has a white hand kerchief
in his right hand. and while call
ing attention to 1t. he grasps the
tube. and covering up his manip-
ulations with the visible handker-
chief. he takes a red 'kerchief from
the tube. The same method Is
employed for producing the blue
one and a very pretty effect Is OBJ
tanned by the appearance Of the
tri-colored handkerchiefs.
The rubber cord must be short
enough so that 1t will snap back
out OF sight behind the coat after
using.

PROFITS IN COAL

philadelphia Public Ledger)
Most of us are wondering pro-
fanely why coal stays so dear. A
mine presidents sworn testimony
before a federal judge at Sunbury,
Pa. may help satisfy that curios-
ity. The mine president testified
his colliery had cost $750,000 three
and half years ago. Out of his
earnings in that period he was
able to pay off a $4,000 debt
and pay 100000 more in commits
sions. In a year and a half. he
said, the colliery had earned
s1,50o,o00. These facts. given in

seem to have a fair bearing on the
question Of why coal Is dear. Fur
thermore. 1t was testified that the
100000 in commissions had been
paid to man, already a million
aire. who had loaned the $725,000
paid back out of earnings. He
was given the commissions as coal
sales agent and never saw the
coal which brought him a snug
fortune. Rarely have the sacred
intimacies of coal company's
counting room been revealed SO
frankly to vulgar view. These
sworn facts may prove to be bet

WILL FIGHT FOR WARRIOR

1t is reported that the Birmingham
Chamber of Commerce and Traffic AS
ISOLATION will give prompt attention to
the Warrior situation arising out of
the recent embargoes declared by the
federal management, and will, if nee
essary, make direct application to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
the consideration of the claims of the
Warrior. The traffic association and
the chamber, all through the initial and
further stages of the Warriors try
out, have co-operated with the federal
management under the impression that
this was the best method of promot-
ing the cause of the Warrior and the
They have refrained from direct &C
ton in the matter of divisional rates
lest this might hamper the officials
and confuse the issues. However, the
embargoes on the ports of Tuscaloosa,
Demopolis and Cordova and the
tangled state of the Warriors cause
leave no basis for further cooperation
with policy that is apparently under
mining the barge service. 1t is only
right and logical that the chamber and
the traffic association as representa-
tives of the shippers should take
prompt steps to bring both the rail
roads and the federal management be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on direct appeal of the district
for just treatment of the Warrior.
Recently the federal management
published reduced rates on iron and
steel products for Texas points via
New Orleans and failed to publish
them simultaneously via the Warrior
and Mobile, although this district does
large business with Texas in these
commodities. Such actions as this dis
elimination in favor of port rather
than a producing center, and the re-
cent embargoes, together with the gen
eral ball of yarn into which the fed
eral management appears to have en-
wrapped the Warrior, constitute the
causes leading to the determination
for a showdown. 1t is high time the
shipping and producing centers were
ticking stand in their own behalf.

POOR BOYS WHO
BECAME FAMOUS
EZRA Cornell
BY Frederick HouK LAW

At Ithaca, N. Y, is great in
stitutfon of learning that draws
students from all over the world.
that gives instruction in almost
every possible subject, and that
pours out in steady stream a
host of young men who benefit the
land. That important factor in the
good of the United States was
founded through the generosity of
Ezra Cornell. who himself had
been poor and unable to pay for
an education, and who wished the
results of his own energy to aid
in helping others to rise.
Ezra Cornel's father was a pot
ter who made too little money to
give much to his son. He was
too busy to pay much attention to
the boy, for he not only made
pottery, but also conducted a
farm. But the father was quiet
and religious. being Quaker.
and he did give Ezra Cornell a
conscientious spirit and a religious
heart. On the farm and in the
potter's shop, Ezra learned how
to use his hands in almost any
trade. Because of this. when he
was little older, he worked for
while as carpenter and build
err. and again in a machine shop.
Still later. he was a lumberman,
farmer. and the head of a flour
mill.
When the telegraph wires were
first strung up it was Ezra Cor
nell, the farmer-lumberma me

wires between Baltimore and
Washington. He was quick to
suggest new devices and plans.
and he was quick to see the great
advantages the telegraph would
bring. with others he brought
about the organization of the
Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, and thereby conferred great
benefit on the world and at the
same time made great sum of
money for himself.
In a certain sense, while he con-
tinued in business ventures, he
gave the rest of his life to public
service. He did a great deal to
improve the methods of farm
work and interest in good farm
ing in the state of New York. He
served in the state assembly and
in the state senate. While in the
legislature he brought about the
founding of Cornell university,
which he himself gave to with ut
most liberality. In various other
ways he showed himself to have
an altruistic spirit and a desire to
help.
How little did the boy potter at
his wheel dream of what his quiet,
hard work and helpful spirit
would accomplish.

seldom compelled to testify before
these inquiries. Profiteers and goug-
ers have grown so accustomed to them
that they have little or no effect as
relief measures. What millions of
consumers in this country want is not
in long-winded reports as to what the
members think about the situation,
but relief.
The American people have a pretty
accurate view of who is responsible
for this recent injustice. They at
tribute it to an unfair tariff schedule
seized on by greedy spectators to
get all the traffic will stand while
the getting is good" The millions
of victims want to see the offenders
punished, not investigated after the
damage is done. A group of portly
price manipulators peering from be-
hind bars will do more towards stop
ping these systems of highway rob
berry than hundred congressional in
vestigations. Too many such inquiries
have already accomplished nothing
but to pile on more cost to the con-
sumner with which to take care of
the additional expense of doing bust
ness by the gougers. When get-rich-
quick price manipulators decide to
raid the consumers food allowance,
the victim looks for relief from his
government acting for the public pro-
lection. Most congressional investi-
cations are not even interesting, much
less hopeful.
