AUTO NOISES CAUSE CHURCH COMPLAINT
Commission Tells Father Kerrigan New Traffic Law Will Remove It

Vigorous protest against noises, confusion and other objectionable features of parking interurban busses at Third avenue and Twenty second street, north, was made to the city commission Tuesday in a communication from Rev. w. 4. Kerr.gan, rector of St. Pauls Gatho- lie church.
 MT. Kerrigan stated that the noise and confusion attendant upon load ing and unloading the busses dis turbed worship and was entirely unsuited to the vicinity of house of worship.
 Secretary L. E. Gray of the city commission was instructed to write the church authorities, informing them of the preparation of new traffic ordinance, which will remove the cause of complaint.

BRINGING UP FATHER

The most difficult task of a car ioohist to make his creations popular and keep them so are ideas. He must have them do something new every tune they appear.

Since the Turks ruled Mace

that the Turks have little stona-

has always been done by the
T.evantines, which is the modern
name for the Greeks, Bulgars,

of Old Turkey.

BEAUTY CLAY
MINE is
FOUND

~ EDAR RAPIDS, Iowa-Mis-
taken for a. Federal booze
~ sleuth and followed with sus-
picion wherever he went, G. +.
O'Brien, after several months in
vestigation, has announced the dis
covery of a beauty clay mine,"
with a deposit of several million
tons, near Brainard, Iowa.
Chemists and biologists of the
University of Iowa have pro-
nounced this clay the finest SO far
discovered, O'Brien stated. 1t is
almost entirely free from foreign
matter, especially silica, which is
so often found in beauty clay.
O'Brien was led to the deposit by
outcroppings he observed in a deep
ravine not more than 500 feet from
the Rock Island station at Brain
ard, where the first digging has
taken place.
The clay is found under the
ground in a damp, adhesive form
resembling putty, but quickly
dries and becomes hard. It Is then
ground into powder and sacked
for shipment, no further process
being necessary.
There is a great demand in
many commercial lines for this
clay. It is used extensively in
purifying lard, bleaching oils, such
as linseed, cottonseed, olive and
all vegetable and animal oils, Of
which the foregoing now require
an annual supply of 10000 car
loads similar to that Of the Brain
ard find. Such clay also is used
in water colOrs, calcimine and as
a basis for greases. Its apparent
adaptability for beauty clay indi-
Gates this will be one Of the great
est outlets. It also is used extern
sively as an ingredient for tooth
paste.
Clay for such purposes now
comes from Florida, Arkansas and
Texas. O'Brien's enterprise has an
advantage of several dollars on the
ton in shipping into Chicago over
the other places. Proximity of the
Rock Island tracks gives him an
other advantage Of getting ship
mentS aboard cars inexpensiVely
Though highly confident that
the deposit will more than live up
to the Endorsement of biologists
and chemists who have examined
samples, O'Brien so far has been
reticent, admitting only that grind
ing will start at once, and machin-
cry will soon be on the grounds
To make the clay available in com
mercial quantities.

It is to induce human beings to cease contendng
with each other, to induce them to cooperate with
each other.
Fighting is savagery; cooperation is civilization
Every civilizer from the lowest to the highest is
peacemaker.
The mother is at work every day to keep her children
from clamorng and conflict While she is anxious for
her boys to up sturdy and manly, she is still
anxious that they should learn waste their strength
in wounding and bruisng each other.
Politicians may not have understood, but million
mothers all over the world understood, what Woodrow
Wilson meant when he spoke of being too proud to fight
Modern business is decenter useful and eff
fcet than business of century ago. mainly because
business men have learned to cooperate They rivals
but not cut-thrOats.
Men engaged in the same line of business are con-
stanty meeting, getting acquainted and learning
how to help another instead of how to destroy
another. Every day we read Of conventions and
conventions ice Dealers cloakmakers shoemens auto
mobile manufacturers railroad presidents conventions
Under cooperation the business world is making
more progress in one year these times than it did in
five hundred years in the Middle Ages Cooperation
has speeded up human welfare enormously
Every thinker knows that the solution of the prob
lem of capital and labor is not to be found in the
tinuance of their struggle and that the triumph Of
either contestant would spell ruin The only possible
solution is to be found in that same idea which the
mother has in governing her family. Somehow they
must learn to work with each other and not against
each other
In politics history shows us that the growth Of every
state has been slow progress out Of the fighting
stage into the cooperating stage.
That the significance of the passage from feuda
ism to monarchy in France, in Italy, in Great Britain
Great Britain was only possible when Scotland
England and Wales ceased hating and slaughtering
each other
In the United States of America the Transformation
from contendng confederacy of states to constitu
tiona union was similar process Of growth -.
holds every other country in the world back is parzan
ship which means simply the conception of public duty
as form of struggle cuttered up with all the hate and
bitterness of struggle If to progress in civiza
ton we must somehow make this parzanship develop
into patriotism.
What is the matter with the world today is that
highest conception of duty and honor is limited by the
nation We are in the stage of world partizanship.
There is really difference between the interests Of
GERMANY and France any than there is difference
between the interests of New York and Pennsylvania
The world is too young The children are still scratch
ing each others faces and pulling hair
The world is not so wicked is childinded It is

thing, will remain the same.
Now, everyone in the world
knows that no exhibition Of ten

tactics and instead of scolding
