Marshall Field, then rising
merchant of Chicago, was in the
habit of calling at the shop to talk
with Mr.. Barton and to see the
latest electrical developments. At
one time. Mr.. Barton was talking
about his troubles with returned
goods and claims from customers,
to which Mr.. Field replied: II have
found in my business that what is
best for my customers is best for
me-" And this was also the basis
of the business of Gray g. Barton
now Graybar Electric.

The Gardiner Business and Pro-

very attractive clubrooms at 14g
Water street, the suite of rooms over
the office of the Gardiner Water dis
trict. There are five rooms including
kitchen with gas stove, running
water, lavatories and a porch over
looking the Kennebec, which will
lend itself to the possibilities of
summer. The club will meet in its
new quarters the first Tuesday in
January. The house committee are

for the rooms and the Gardiner peo-

to aid in the good cause. Mrs. O.

tell you what 1914 cost u.s. We have
been at war almost uninterruptedly
since 1912. We impoverished ourselves
iE the World War and were defeated.
Our territories were shorh from Us,
our capital was occupied, an invading
army quartered on us in Asia Minor.
1t took us three years to drive out
the Greek invader, but he devastated
the path of his retreat. 1t took our
last superfuity of wealth and even
our necessities to get rid of the
Greeks, and we have lost probably a
third of our population In killed,
crippled, or carried off. Now ma
ton strained to exhaustion In sinew
and nerve. we have been awaiting
attack from he strongest powers
in Europe. We have escaped, IT
principally because England's i'm
perial interest now lies in checking
France; but it will threaten again
tomorrow, and then we may not
escape it. How can we talk or think
of reconstruction? Let us spare ten
piasters for reconstruction, and our
army's strength would be by so
much reduced. Reduce our army
enough, and foreign troops will be
in Angora as well as Constantinople.
Cultural questions. economic devel-
opment, improvement in the status
of women, better education-all that
must be secondary. For US the pro-
blem is not reconstruction, but sur
vival"
"What confronts Turkey today,
therefore, is the necessity OF using
every remaining ounce Of strength
to rebuild its wasted structure
while simultaneously standing ready
at any time to throw its whole force
into self defense"
"Touch Turkey at any point on its
surface, and you strike its foreign
relations. To Turkey it is a question
of foreign politics more than of DOM
este finance"
mo less clearly does Turkeys fu-
ture in every other respect hang on
the intentions of the great powers"
Before all else, perhaps before
even the establishment Of good
government and the development
of resources, the race conflict must
be settled. 1t is of considerable con-
sequence whether the Near East is
to remain a periodically erupting
volcano. A rejuvenated. recon-
structed Turkey having normal rela-
tons with the rest of the world as an
equal, or else the complete elimina-
ton of Turkey as state and nation
these are the alternatives If all
Europe is not to be embroiled per-
manently in the Near East"

Wealth of u. S.

Steam was discovered in 1871.
Through the forty centuries of human
history which had gone before the
world had managed to amass by the
sweat Of it's brow a total wealth estf-
mated at 100000 100000.
One hundred billions of dollars In
the world at that time-a vast sum
but wait
1t is less than a century and half
since then-but because man learned
to substitute for his own puny efforts
the use of power-at first, steam. and
now, electrical energy-there is today
ten times as much wealth in the
world!
In but IA years the worlds wealth
has increased by leaps and bounds to
the amazing total of one thousand
billions!
This utterly unrealizable sum of
81. 900, 000, 10000 of actual wealth In
the world nova trillion dollars-and
nine-tenths of it produced since man
became a handler of power instead or
being himself the power plant!
The United States of America has
third of this worlds wealth-and
only fifteenth of its population!

loved doll babies"l
Dolls are as old as humanity In
dolls, every people mirror them
selves. Every small girl plays at be-

Perhaps it is only a worn, torn rag
dolly, or maybe it is gorgeous doll
with real, curly hair and fine silk
dress with shoes to match, but you
may be assured of finding dolls in the
most humble tenement and the most
palatial mansion.
There is no beginning of the his
tory of dolls; all vestiges of early
savage and barbarian life show dolls.
The commercial manufacture of these
favored playthings is also old.
Around 1850 the French toymakers
began to fashion beautiful dolls of
wax; their skin was as fair as
queens, and their beautiful red lips
and rose-hued cheeks were the pride
of their possessors. But, alas, they
melted when exposed to the heat of
q fire or to the SUM- The roseate
cheeks ran into the raven black hair
and dolly became just dirty mixture
of paint melted into the wax.
The Germ an toymakers then
brought out the dolls with bisque
heads; to be true, they didn't melt,
but they broke very easily. In this
era, many real tragedy was enacted
when dolly was laid down not too
gently, or inadvertently dropped on
the floor. The bodies were made of |
kid with replaceable heads.
About twenty years ago dolls of |
wood pulp head were introduced into |
the world by American manufacturers.
