their services to acquire a military

Artillery and Cavalry Units.
The artillery at first surprised the
observer, inasmuch as the, battalion
comprises but three cannon, whereby,
however, the mobility of this arm is
greatly enhanced. But the greatest sur
prise was offered by the cavalry. For
In this modern era of scientific destruc-
ton cavalry charges by number of
squadronS in closed formation against
infantry equipped with heavy arms and
machine guns seemed like a reproddc-
ton from fairy tale.
Women are an unusually important
part of the organization. Many forma-
tions, particularly in the sanitary corps,
are made up entirely Of uniformed girls.

JAMES "AIRISH" KERINs

The above picture is supposed to be
of James "Airish" Kerins. His broad,
pleasant grin can be plainly seen in
it's proper place, and his eternal blush
is even more apparent. The gas tank
by which he is standing is located at
Kerins Garage on Green street where
Bill" Browning's and other Standard
brands of gasoline are dispensed at
so much per. Jim has just completed
the onerous work of giving Mike Hell
big four gallons of gas for three gal
Ions. The three men at the right are
laughing up their sleeves because
Mike thinks he put one over on jim.
Jim, who is handing back the change
with his hand, is all to the wise, how
ever, for the gas he gave Mike froze
one night last summer and had to be
sold at half price. The rear of the car
seen on the left is another good GUS
toner of Jim's who is driving up for
a supply of free water and free air.
The coat tail to be seen on the right
is Jim doing the disappearing act. He
suddenly remembered that he had an
engagement at a bowling alley to do
some practice work and also at res
taurant to get plate of stew and
cup of coffee.

Our created wealth, our develop
ment of natures vast resources has no
precedent in history, and while the
working mans condition has been bet
tered as never before, still we have
not improved and developed the high
er qualities in the masses of men as
we have done in discovering the mer-
! its of petroleum and host of other
material things.
One illustration will express our
whole financial and industrial system.
A close corporation with a million
dollars invested in plant and equip
ment, employs 200 men, and their
net divisible yearly profits amount to
one million dollars, besides half mil
lion dollars worth of unsold goods.
Twenty per cent of net profits go to
labor which gives each workman one
thousand dollars yearly. Eighty per
cent goes to the eight directors and
owners, making 100000 yearly. Al
lowing six per cent interest for each
directors ca. ptal, his salary serv &c
draws S92,500
The directors technical skill in
making the profits may be worth 90
times as much as the workman's, but
the division of profits is unsatisfac-
tory to labor, which makes labor in
different in his workmanship, discoh-
tented and often dangerous.
Capitalists have made a new dis
covery: not all of them, but its greht
leaders have, which means that tile
lesser capitalists must in time folloiv
suit.
Prior to the World War, wages
were based on the cost of living by the
American standard On the basis of
feed your horse only what he needs
for energy to draw a full load. In
the illustration here given this basis
for the distribution of profits was in
vogue though the percentages differ
in different industries.
The heads of governments learned
long ago that if nations food supply
became so depleted that the populace
were half famished that government
soon tottered and fell.
So our government has long scru-
tinized our agriculture with an eagle
eye, has encouraged production unto
abundance, has kept statistical data
on crop acreage, on yield per acre, or
the amount we need yearly for home
consumption that there may be M
danger of shortage. But it has never
been concerned about what an exces
sive crop production meant to the
farmer.
Our home consp mption of cottor
averages about twelve million 500

At first the markets of the world
were open to US and competition was
negligible. We grew so fast in pop
ulation and material wealth that the
effete, depleted nations of the old
world began to be jealous and consid-
cred US a commercial menace.
Called us mercenary-a nation Of
money grubbers as we had neglected
music, sculpture, painting, the fine
arts and the cultivation of the ethical
and aesthetic nature in man.
At first we built crooked, narrow
streets, as seen in older Boston, with
out regard to convenience or future
growth. We built our homes, fac
tories, towns and cities as though util-
ity and quick profits were all that
mattered. Symmetry, uniformity, ap-
propriateness and architectural beau
ty of design were indifferently consid-
cred.
Then we had, as a nation, a crude,
raw look. Everything had heller
SHELTER together appearance.
But we have outgrown that stage of
immaturity. In organic evolution one
things grows out of some former
thing. Life pushes itself up from
lower to higher, better forms and
takes on materiality.
In social, industrial and economic
aspects of the same law old things
are superseded by new; inferior and
inefficient methods are displaced by
adoption of superior devices.
Thus we have outgrown the zone

dispatch for the fast express, the air.
plane and wireless. Thirty years ago
the majority of our homes were il
Illuminated with candles or kerosene,
heated with wood or coal fires. Today
it is possible for the well-to-do to
light and heat their homes, do their
laundry work, baking, sweeping, even
toast the bread and make coffee by
electricity.
A hundred and fifty years ago the
use Of electricity was but little known.
About that time the electric battery
was devised, but not until 1875 did
we know how to make a dynamo
which makes it possible to generate
electricity continuously, generously
and convey it long distances.
The combined electric plants of the
country today produce electrical en-
ergy equivalent to the working energy
of 290,0OO,0O0 h. p.
If we worked our men and machines
to capacity our production in excess
of home consumption would feed and
clothe all Europe, give them all of
life's necessities and untold Injuries.

EVOLUTION
Industrial; Economic
By F. F. CORLISS.

When the public think of evolution
they relate the word with Darwin s
Origin of Species and seldom think of
it as being factor in changes other
than those of organic life and growth.
Evolution is the name for long or
der. 1t cites process of progressive
!. changes, growth and improvement in
all the affairs of human life-social,
economic industrial 1t shows itself
in religion, politics; in the distribu-
ton of ideas, merchandise and the
transportation of passengers.
While evolution is the method, back
of it the thing causative is necessity.
In this land of the home and the
free, mans expression of individuality
has had but few restrictions. He
could engage in any business he likes
if he could show qualifications.
He could manufacture anything not
dangerous or detrimental to the public
good, with no limitations on the
dHlOuuG VI Ills pIOuuCI.
So our American civilization began
life in a crude and primitive way. We
had the elements to fight but here ma
ture had been lavish and bestowed on
man everything he needed to fight
them with.
With a virgin soil so wonderfully
fertile and free to those who would
take it, live on and cultivate it, and
natures vast resources of mineral
wealth untouched, it is not surpris-
ing that the land-hungry and Cypress
ed of all the earth should flock to the
American shores to enjoy freedom
of life they had never known.
Each man worked for himself I'M
mindful of what his neighbor might
be doing, and in due time we, as a
nation, had become so thrifty as agri-
culturalists that we had more farm
products than we could consume and
began to feed the needy nations of
Europe.
This led to the development of our
maritime commerce and our entry in
to the manufacturing of every con-
ceivable utility that can be made from
cotton, wool, hides, copper, iron, steel,
petroleum and wood.
We used all the scientific and me-
chanical genius of the nation in in
venting labor-saving devices, our par
amount purpose being to create
wealth-wealth in material and need
full things.
