RAILROAD PRESIDENTS MATCH ’ TO SEE WHO PAYS FOR 7 SUITS B. & O, Head Bought Palm Beach Clothing for the Others but Not for Himself. WASHINGTON, Aug. %.—When the committee of eight of the railroad presidents went into session at the Met- ropolitan Club with six members pres- ent, one of them called the attention of the others to the fact that their Palm Beach suits which they had bought last week at’the beginning of the hot spell, were getting soiled. It was suggested they buy new ones, and that this time Danie] Willard, president of the Balti- more & Ohio, who sticks to blue flan- nel, get one also. “All right,”’ replied Willard, match to see who pays for them.” The six men matched and Willard was “‘stuck”’ for the price of the six suits. A moment later in came President Holden of the Burlington. Willard im- mediately proposed that he and Holden match for the price of the feather- weight raiment. Willard lost. BEntered Vice President Atterbury of the Pennsylvania. Again Willard proposed to match. Again Wil- lard lost. Then the eight went to buy the suits. Seven were fitted, and it was Willard’s turn. “I guess I'll stick to this flannel suit now,” said he, and paid for the seven suits. SHOE SHINERS RAISE PRICES AND ATTRIBUTE IT TO WAR Cleaners and Dyers Monday Will Con- sider Soosting Charge for Re juvenating Garments, Greek proprietors of 40 shoe-shin- ing shops yesterday posted a new schedule of prices, effective Satur. day, and cleaners and dyers will mect Monday to consider a 25 per cent in- crease in the price of cleaning and pressing a suit. A tan shoe shine will be 10 cents every day, where formerly it was 5 cents except on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Black shoes, formerly 5 cents on all days, will be 10 cents on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Low cut white shoes advanoe from 10 to 15 cents, and high white shoes from 16 to 25 cent. Yes, it is due to the war! Increased cost of shining materials and of food for the shine- boys is given as a reason. Robert Lungstras said a price of $1.26 for cleaning men’s suits prob- ably would be effective Sept. 1. Last March Lungstras reduced the’ price from $1.50 to $1, and other cleaners followed. He said the cleaners mere- 7? ly have existed at this rate, and that they “face the necessity of an _ in- crease, because of the high price of gasoline. INQUIRY ON SCHOONER SEIZURES Consul Asks Why England Took American Fishing Boats Into Port. LONDON, Aug. 24.—~-Inquiries are mentbeing made of the British Gov- ernment by Robert P. Skinner, the American Consul-General, as to the cause of the seizure of. the American schooners, Maxine Elliott and Lizzie Griffin, which were fishing off the coast of Iceland and were taken into Lerwick, Shetland Islands, by a Brit- ish patrol boat.

ESCAPED UNDER THE SEA She Sailed Submerged for 100 Miles After Departing From Baltimore—Bremen on Way. LONDON, submarine Deutschland, the mouth of the Weser yesterday, returned Aug. %.—The which arrived off home slightly damaged, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from The Hague, which says this information is contained in a telegram from Bremen The members of the crew were unwill- ing, it adds, to give deta™& of the re- turn voyage. The arrival of the sub- marine surprised her owners, as she was not expected to dock within a week. A telegram received at Amsterdam from Bremen and forwarded by Reuter’s correspondent, says the Deutschland traveled 4200 miles on her homeward voyage. At the beginning the sea was tempestuous, but later it became more calm. The Deutschland proved to bs able to navigate the stormy seas ex- cellently. Her engines worked faultless- ly. No icebergs were passed on the journey. Neutrality Was Enforced, The American Government, says the dispatch, acted in a correct manner as a neutral, rigorousiy enforcing respect for its frontier from British and French warships by the employment of its own men-of-war. After a British cruiser en- tered Chesapeake Bay at night, ever. more effective measures were taken to enforce nutrality. No less than eight British warships, it is said, were on the alert, surrounded by numerous smal!! American vessels which had been char- tered for the purpose of stretching nets and obtaining inforination as to the movements of the Deutschland. Never- theless the submarine succeeded in de- parting undetected. A distance of 100 miles was traversed under water with- out difficulty. The Deutschland called at Heligoland for a few hours yesterday morning, stopping long enough to give her sea- men a chance to stretch their legs and obtain a first-class meal. News of her coming was telegraphed to Bremen, and a great crowd gathered at the docks and gave her a hearty welcome when she arrived last night. Bremen Said to Have Started. The departure for America a week ago of the German submarine Bremen is reported in a dispatch from Bremen as forwarded from The Hague by the Exchange Telegraph Co. It is said the owners of the Deutschland and the Bre- men received word seven days ago of the progress being made by.the Deutsch- land on her return voyage and that it was not until they had obtained this information that they permitted the Bre- men to depart. The Deutschland toqk the same route on both hg voyages, the dispatch says. returning to Germany by the North Sea. Capt. Paul Koenig of the Deutschland is being feted as a national hero and has been summoned to Emperor William's headquarters to report on his voyage. The Bremen is well on her way, ac- cording to a dispatch from Copenhagen, The dispatch says Alfred Lohmann, head of the Ocean Navigation Co., which owns the Bremen, asserts he has received a message from the submarine and that it will arive in America in a few days. ee Deutschland Anchors at Mouth of Weser River. BERLIN, by wireless to Sayville, Aug. 2%.—The merchant submarine Deutsch- land arrived at the mouth of the Weser yesterday, according to the Overseas News Agency. The agency says the Deutschland ar- rived in the afternoon and anchored be- fore the mouth of the river. All on board were well. The Vossische Zeitung publishes an in- terview with Capt. Paul Koenig of the Deutschland, who expressed appreciation of the attitude of the United States Government in taking every necessary measure to prevent violation of neutral- ity in connection with the departure of the submarine. The Deutschland arrived at Baltimore from Bremen on July 9 with a cargo of dyestuffs and mails. She left Baltimore on her return journey on Aug. 1 with a cargo of rubber and metal. Kaiser Sends Congratulationg to Builders and Crew of Deutsch- land. AMSTERDAM, Aug. 24.—According to a dispatch received here today from Berlin, Emperor William has sent the following telegram to the owners of the submarine Deutschland: “With sincere pleasure I have just received news of the safe return of the submarine liner Deutschland. iI heartily congratulate the owners and builders of the vessels and the brave seamen under Koenig's command." The message also expressed the in- tention of the Emperor to bestow deo- orations on members of the Deutsch- land's personnel. Poepping’s Band at Forest Park, 7 to 9:30 o'clock. FREE BAND CONCERTS TONIGHT). GOVERNOR COMES HERE TO SETTLE M'PHEETERS GASE Interrupts Vacation at Northern Lakes to Pass on Removal of Police Cammissioner. TO GIVE OUT STATEMENT Refuses to Say Whether Painter Acted With His Knowledge or Approval. Gov. Major came back to Missouri this morning, for one day only, he said, in an effort to straighten out the muddle cause by Lieutenant-Governor Painter’s demand for Samuel B. Mc- Pheeters’ resignation as president of the Board of Police Commissioners. McPheeters, after a conference with the Governor in the morning, announced that he was ‘“‘still on the job” as presi- dunt of the Police Board. But he would not say for how lIong. Acting Governor Fainter, who stayed a. the Planters, awaiting developments, since las Friday has taken the position that he had fired McPheeters, but the Cer mmissioner insisted that he would not be fired by anybody but Gov. Major, who appointed him. Both the Governor and McPheeters promised statements later in the day. To Stay Only One Day. It was evident the Governor was de- termined to settle the police muddle during the day, for he told reporters that he had come back from the North- ern lakes in the midst of his outing on account of the police situation, and that he expected to spend only one, day’ here, when he would hasten back North, as he still had a week of his vacation coming. The Governor arrived in Union Sta- tion on a train from Chicago at 7:45 a. m. He was met by Excise Commission- er Rumsey and by Police Commission- er Thompson. These appointees were not with him when, a few minutes aft- erward, a Post-Dispatch reporter found him seated on a stool in the station lunchroom. Gov. Major was asked whether he had known about Painter’s plan to remove McPheeters. Although usually easy of approach, the Governor was curt and rather testy. He said he would make a statement later, after he had talked over the situation with his secretary and others. Major Calls on McPheeters. Later the Governor called at Mc- Pheeters’ law office, in the Central Na- tional Bank Building, but McPheeters was not in. After 10 o’clock the Gov- ernor rode to the building in Police Commissioner Thompson’s auto. He re- mained in the machine, on Olive street, opposite the Central National Bank Building, while Thompson went up t» McPheeters’ office to summon him to a conference with the Governor. McPheeters took a seat alongside the Governor in the machine, and Commissioner Thompson waited near- by. They talked earnestly for sev- eral minutes, and at times the Gov. ernor gesticulated emphatically. McPheeters, after the conference. walked toward Fourth and Olive streets, with the statement that ne was still on the police board, and would have a statement to make later. At the same time the Gover- nor also promised a statement later. The Governor interrupted his consid- eration of police affairs to visit a tai- lor, in the Commercial Building, and get a new suit. When he arrived at Union Station he was modishly dressed in a brown sack suit, with purple tie and straw hat. But when he emerged from the tailor shop he wore a black cutaway suit and black fedora hat. From the tailor shop the Governor weht to Commissioner Thompson's of. fice, in the Pierce Building, and at noon had been in a conference there almost two hours. By virtue of his presence in the State, Major becomes the head of the State Government, and Painter is again Lieu- tenant-Governor, with no further power over the State boards, so long as Major remains in Missourl. Rumsey, on his return to St. Louis last night, denied the truth of a state- ment made by one of his friends sev- eral days ago that four days prior to Lieutenant-Governor Painter’s demand for President McPheeters’ resignation, Rumsey introduced C. C. Butler to him as St. Loufs’ next Police Commissioner. Rumsey also denied that he had met Lieutenant-Governor Painter in St. Louls a few days before the Police Board change was announced. It has been reported that Rumsey acted as the representative of Gov. Major in negotiations with Lieutenant-Governor Painter which led to an agreement to appoint Butler. The Lieutenant-Gover- nor in an interview with a Post-Dispatch reporter several days ago denied that he had conferred with the Governor by telephone, telegraph or letter, but evaded a question as to whether he had ecnferred with a third person rep- resenting the Governor.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 24.—Travelers returning from the North this summer are complaining of the intense heat prevailing at the southern edge of the Arctic Circle. At Haparanda, where passengers transfer from Sweden to Finland, the temperatures this summer have ranged from 10 to 20 degrees warmer than here in Stockholm, several hun- dred miles to the south. This differ- ence is of course attributed to the longer hours of sunshine prevailing in the North, Haparanda being tut a short distance from the zone of mid- night sun. Daylight football games have been played this summer beginning at 8:20 p. m. and 18 holes of golf have been possible after a 7 o’clock dinner. MO.

MORRISON, MILLIONAIRE SAYS: He IS NOT FATHER UF ADOPTED GIRLS Declares He Took Junk Dealer’s Children Into His Home at Dying Mother’s Request. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Aug. 24.—Edward W. Mor- rison, the aged and eccentric mil- lionaire, who was charged yesterday with being the father of Alice and Anna Burnstein, whom he is seeking to adopt legally, resumed the witness stand today before Federal! Judge Landis. The charge was made in a dramatic manner by Joseph Burnstein, father of the girls, who told the court that his wife had confessed the fact on her deathbed. Burnstein is a junk dealer. When Morrison, who is % years old, was called to the stand he emphatically denied the charge. Knew Girls All Their Lives. ‘“T have known the egiris all their lives and loved them,” he declared. “That is why I have filed a petition seeking to make them my daughters.”’ While returning from the funeral of Mrs. Burnstein the husband informed the millionaire of his wife's confession, he said. “And Morrison answered: I'll fix it up,’ ”’ he testified. Burnsteitn had been called to the stand to testify concerning the transfer of certain properties to him by Morrison. His explanation came as a surprise. The action before Judge Landis was on a petition to appoint a receiver for Morrison’s property, ‘which has been variously valued at from $3,000,000 to §$8,- 000,000. One of the contentions was that Mor- rison had adopted the two giris to pre- vent the Board of Education from re- cerving a bequest from the estate of his father. “Is it true that you met Mr. Burn- stein at the funeral of his wife?’ Judge Landis asked of the millionaire. ‘*Yes,”” was the answer. “Are you the father of the two Burn- stein children?’ the Judge asked. “Tl am not.” witness replied. “Why, then, did you adopt the chil- ‘All right, dren?’ ‘Mra. Burnstein called me to her bedside.” Morrison replied, “and told me she was Wworrled about the future of the two children. She asked me to look out for them. I had known them al- ways and loved them, and so I adopted them."" The two Burnstein girls—Anna is 18 vears old and Alice is 16—attracted wide notice at their, adoption by the recluse millionaire.

The balloting would be secret. Proposals Explained to Employes. These proposals were communicated | today by Commissioner Chambers of the Federal Board of Mediation to the representatives of the men who apparently regarded them favorably. Jvdge Chambers” then reported to President Wilson and a subcommittee of railroad executives was summoned to the White House. None of them would say afterward whether President Wilson reported the men would accept the proposals but it was said that some encourage- ment was felt as a result of the nego- tiations. President Wilson is understood to feel some sympathy for the counter- demands of the railroads and not averse to having the men accept them. It is expected, however, that 4 vote of the 640 labor representatives here must vVe taken before they can re- ceive the necessary indorsement. In the meantime the executives will continue their conferences among themselves and another White House visit may be made later. Hale Holden of the Burlington, Dan- fel Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio and Robert Lovett of the Union Pacific forined the subcommittee which saw the President. Walker D. Hines, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Santa Fe, issued a statement today attacking President Wilson's plan and character- izing it as preposterous. He declare‘ the President apparently had made up his own mind without a hearing “‘as to the concessions he will force the em- ployers to give to buy off labor from its illegal course.” Course Open to Congresd. Courses which might be taken by Con- gress affecting directly the present rall- way situation, it is pointed out, are these, Direct the Interstate Commerce commission by resolution to investi- gate the entire subject of the re- lations between railroads and their employes. Pass the pending bill to increase the commission's membership from seven to nine in anticipation of ad- ministrational duties to be imposed. Enact a measure compelling arbi- tration of future disputes, similar to the present one. Establish the eight-hour day prin- ciple by legisiation. Pass measures clearing the way for Government ownerghip of raliroads. The first two proposals were receiv- ing most serious consideration, t was said. President Wilson last night conferred for an hour and a half with Presidents Hale Holden of the Burlington, Daniel Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio and R. 8. Levett of the Union Pacific. Holden Gives Out Statement. At the conclusion of a conference with the presidents and managers, Holden gave out the following statement: “The railroad executives who have met at the request of President Wilson are proceeding as rapidly as practicable with thelr work. it must be under- mission of this character would be | WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—After continued conferences today between President Wilson and the select committee of railroad ex- ecutives, the situation surrounding the threatened strike was de- scribed as having narrowed down to the folloiwng: The railroad presidents, at least the select committee of eight, are willing to accept the eight-hour day insisted upon by President Wilson In return they ask that they be assured as fully as possible that all proper support be given and proper means be used to assure them a freight rate increase from the Interstate Commerce Commission. these men are wrestling is the most im- portant and gigantic ever presented to any body of men tn the industrial his- tory of the country. "They cannot, therefore, consistently with their duty to their security hold- éts thelr employes. or the public, reach a final conelusion regarding what ac- tlon they should take without much dis- cussion, study and thought. These de- liberations, participated in by prac- tically 100 men suddenly called together from all parts of the United States, re- quire time. “If our deliberations seem to proceed slowly it is due to the facta that I have | mentioned. For us to act hastily would be a betrayal of the great responsibility we owe to all the parties concerned, and most of all to the public.”’ Difficult te Satiafy All. As the conferences continued it be- came more evident that the principal difficulty of the situation is to work out a plan of action ucceptable to all the railroads. Many suggestions have come from the © or more presidents here and have been laid before the man- agers. In every instance they have been rejected as impractical and the cxecu- tives take the position that no plan which the managers do not declare sound can be taken to the White House as the basia for settlement. It is well understood that most of the executives are convinced that the eight- hour day, in so form, must be con- ceded, and that they cannot expect President Wilson to recede from the po- sition he has publicly taken. Their ef- forts are directed to discovery of a solu- tion of the complicated questions of op- eration under an efght-hour day, and it was said on the authority of many of them that no practical plan had been developed. Chamber of United States made public a letter to President Wilson signed by R. Good- wyn Rhett, ita president, supporting the railroads in their contention for arbi- tration of disputed questions, including the eight-hour day. “The proposal that eight hours should be the basic day without any penalty for overtime,”’ says the letter, “would, of course, destroy the entire founda- tion of the plea set forth by the em ployes and make the whole proposition one of increased pay alone, inasmuch as there would be no penalty for work- ing an employe up to 16 hours out of the 2%. “If the ‘basic eight-hour day’ is, as claimed by the railroads merely a means of changing the rate of pay per hour without limitations of hours of labor, then obviously the “basic eight-hour day’ haa no relation to the eight-hour day in industry founded on the theory of eight hours of work, elfght hours of sleep and eight hours of leisure and recreation.”’ “Our position is tsat the facts ought to be investigated and that if the de- mands are just they ought to be granted immediately upon the sascer- teimment of the facts, on their merits and not because either party is so powerful that it can dictate ite terms to the public.

VON WIEGAND. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. (Copyright, 1916. by Presa Pub. Co.) BERLIN, Aug. 24, by wireless.—A sen- sation has been created at Petrograd by a book by Nikolai Suchanov, a Liberal political leader, discussing a separate peace for Russia, according to a special dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Stockholm. In begins, ‘‘Why are we at war?” It endeavors to show that an attempt to maké peace is what an independent Russian policy demands. It is reported to declare that Russia has been plunged} into war by unscrupulous politicians who set the country back a hundred years, and that it is the task of the hour for Russian policy to correct this blunder. According to the dispatch, Suchanov says in the book: “We are the victims of England’s ambitions. England and France obtained, in our country, the necessary ally for this ‘Titan struggle.’ A continuation of the war means uncon- ditional defeat, as an English victory would be our worst defeat.’ Stress is laid on the importance of the book because it passed the censor- ship which had hitherto forbidden dis- cussion of peace. According to an Amer- ican from Stockholm, representatives of the so-called peace party of Petrograd and Moscow are in Stockholm endeavor- ing to feel out the situation and its pos- sibilities.

Dairy proprietors, meeting this morn- ing at 1808 Biddle street, rejected a three-alternative proposat for the settle- ment of the milk wagon drivers’ strike submitted to them by the strikers through Father Timothy Dempsey. Tue public has now been for 17 days without retail milk delivery. W. R: Schneider, attorney for the dal- rymen, said in announcing their rejec- tion of the strikers’ proposal, that they would henceforth devote their time and efforts to resuming delivery of milk, and that negotiations with the strikers are at an end. He said strikeb.eakers | would be put on the delivery waguns. The dairies, in their efforts at delivery, thus far, have used employes from other branches of their establishments. The three plans, any one of which the strikers announced themselves will- ing to accept, were worked out last night in a conference between union of- | ficilals and Father Dempsey. They were | a) a wage scale of $16 a week and 4 per cent corimission on all sales; (2) a wage scale based, like the old one, on the point system, with $16 a week and a commission of one cent a point on all sales over 5300 points a month; (3) arbitrations of the strikers’ original demands. Offered Men 815 a Week. The old wage scale was $14 a week and 1 cent(a point on all sales over 6700 points a month. In practice, a point averages about 8 cents, so that the system meant 12% per cent commissioa on monthly sales exceeding $466. The original demand of the strikers was for $18 a week and 6 per cent on all sales. The dairymen, in the conference which ended Tuesday evening, offered the men ($15 a week and 2 per cent on all sales, but the men declared that this, for many ot. them, would be a reduction rather than an increase. The union officials said, after sub- mitting their proposal, that if it were rejected the union would carry on the fight to a finish. Attorney Schneider said the dairymen considered the pro- posal for about an hour, and gave at- | tention chiefly to the second offer of a $1€ wage scale and a revised point sys- tem. He estimated that this plan would add $83,000 a year to the payrolls of the nine dairies. The St. Louis Dairy Co. this afternvon filed an injunction suit against the offi- cials of the milk drivers’ and teamsters’ unions, asking that they be restrained from picketing its establishinents or in- | terfering with its employes or c¢usto- | mers, It states that its business a'nounts to $1,000,000 a vear, and that it iias $250,- | 000 invested in the business. The suit is similar to the one fled yesterday afternoon by the Grafeman Dairy Co., which came up this morn- {ing before Circuit Judge Anderson. He issued an order that the union officials should appear next Tuesday, and show cause why an injunction should not be | granted. Judge Anderson set the case for a ' hearing in division 14, over which Judge | Cave presides, but said he himself would probably conduct the hearing, Attorney Charles J. Anderson, who ap- | peared for the defendants, asked that no temporary restraining order be is- ‘sued, pending the hearing next Tues- day, and the Judge said he would not | issue one. Schneider and T. 8S. Meng, attorneys for the dairy, said afterward ithat they were about to ask for such an order, when the Court made its an- ncuncement. Men Will Abide by Law. Thomas F. Barr, businéss agent of the milk drivers’ union, said today that if the injunction against picketing and other interference should be granted, the strikers would abide by the law. August Boehling, employed in a dairy at 2401 Indiana avenue, reported tc the police that an eight-gallon milk can was takenn from him by cevera] men as he was transferring it from one car to another at Jefferson ave- nue and Morgan street. He was on his way to get milk at the Grafeman establishment. St. Louisan Credit Men’s Secretary, OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 2%4.—H.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH _ POST-DISPATCH QUOR QUESTION OT MENTIONED IN STATE PLATFORMS Quan Republicans Follow Lead of Democrats in Not Touching on the Subject. STRONG HOME RULE PLANK G. O. P. Declaration Condemns Major Administration for Po- lice and Excise Conditions. The Republican State convention of candidates at Jefferson City, yesterday, following the lead of the Democratic convention, ignored the liquor questior but adopted a strong home rule for tie cities plank, and strongly condemned the Democratic administration for ma nipulation of the Police, Excise rd Election boards of the cities for partiszr or factional advantage. Neither former Supreme Judge Henry Lamm, the Republican nominee for Guv- ernor, nor Frederick D. Gardner, ine Democratic candidate, wanted the liquor question brought up as an issue in the campaign. The experience of both in the primary election was such as to cause them to wish to have the ques- tion dropped from political discussion. Both Lamm and Gardner were attacked during the campaign as being ‘‘wets,’’ although neither candidate, either by his own declaration, or by his record, took any stand for or against either side in the wet and dry controversy. Major Administration Attacked. The strong features of the Republican platform were its attacks upon the present Democratic administration, which is in such bad odor with the Dem- ocratic party.that only one candidate in any Way connected with it was nominat- ed. The Democratic convention, despite this fact, inserted a paragraph in its platform unreservedly indorsing’ the wise administration of Gov. Major. However, -there is little disposition among the Democratic leaders to offer any defense of the present administra- tion, so far as the campaign is con- cerned, and it is generally talked among Democrats that State Auditor John P. Gordon, who was renominated, will have to stand alone in defense of the admin- istration. The Republican platform declared that the only relief to be expected from the conditions at Jefferson City, of which s0 much- complaint has been made, is to elect the Republican State ticket. It is charged in the platform that the Democratic administration has bungled the financial affairs of the State to such an extent that the State is facing vir- tual bankruptcy. Many of the State in- stitutions, it is charged, scantily subsis- upon borrowed money or funds doled out by the Governor. The Republicans were unaple to get exact figures as to the financial condi- tion of the State, but they charged up numerous extravagances against the present State officials, and a reckless disregard of the interests of the State in the matter of enormous over-appro- priation. The Republicans specifically pledged their candidates to the adoption of a budget system, which will prevent over- appropriation. The Democrats. also made a declaration on this subject, but it was not so specific as that of the Republicans. The Republicans’ also pledged themselves to create a general board of control for tne eleemosynary institutions, which, it was charged, have ‘been shamefully managed by the Dem- ocrats. A specific plédge was also made for the adoption of the merit system in the public service of the State, and to the establishment of economy and efficiency in the State government, so that it shall be administered in the interest of the whole.people, instead of any political party. Plank for Home Rule, The platform declarea in favor of re- districting the congressional, State sen- atorial and legislative districts so that all parties will have an equal opportuni- ty, to a program of good roads building, river improvement, reformation of court procedure, home rule, rural credits, re- vision of the, primary and general elec- tion laws, revision of the dairy laws, and for a new State Constitution. There was some reluctance on the part of the Republicans to take a stand for a new Constitution, on account of the manner in which the senatorial dis- tricts are Ikid out. As a constitutional ‘convention would be comprised of two members from each senatorial district, the Republicans asserted under the pres- ent plan of districting their party would be at a disadvantage in the matter of electing delegates to the constitutional convention. Lamm wrote a section of the platform declaring that the new Constitution should be framed as a non- partisan instrument, and that submis- vide equitable and just representation sion should be made in a form to pro- to all parties in framing the document. Nearly all of the candidates left Jef- ferson City before the platform was finally adopted, but all of the State candidates went over it carefully be- fore it was submitted to the convention. Judge Lamm carefully revised it. Many of the declarations on State issues rep- resent his ideas. La Salle Friday Bargain.

We heartily approve and unreserv- edly indorse the wise, and efficient and capable administration of Gov. Elliott W. Major and our other State officers. At no ‘*ime in the history of the State have -»he interests of the people been more conscientiously and effectively safegaarded, and the benefits from this administration will grow and widen the passing years. NO DECLARATION ON THIS SUBJECT. We will provide a method by which the General Assembly, upon conven- ing, shall be furnished with an ac- curate estimate of the State reve- nues, together with a _ tabulation showing all fixed charges and the amount necessary to maintain the various State institutions and de- partments, and such’ other informa- tion as may be necessary to a full understanding of the condition of the State's finances. We further pledge the candidates of this convention that they will keep the appropriations of the State within its estimated revenues. We pledge ourselves to the enact- ment of a just and adequate work- men's compensation law, fairly and efficiently administered. NO DECLARATION. % NO DECLARATION, We favor the submission by the next General Assembly to the voters of Missouri! of the question of the need of a new State Constitution. Democratic and Republican State Platforms Compared HE Democratic and Republican State Conventions of candidates, at Jefferson City, adopted platforms setting forth the views of the respective parties on State issues, and pledging their candidates to carry into effect the platform declarations. the declarations of the two parties on important subjects: THE DEMOCRATIC STATE ADMINISTRATION. STATE INSTITUTIONS AND EFFICIENCY. BUDGET SYSTEM. WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION. HOME RULE, PENITENTIARY. : NEW CONSTITUTION, Here are REPUBLICAN, We declare that our State Govern- ‘ ment now is in the hands of a sel- fish political machine, who care nothing for the wishes or opinion of the people of this State, or of the rank and file of the party to which they belong, and who serve nobody but themselves. They have devoted their whole thought and ef- fort for years to perpetuating their hold upon power and to creating new offices and commissions with fat salaries and their families and retainers, payable out of the State treasury or supported by official fees imposed upon honest industry and business, or wWrung from the general public, while at the same time the legitimate charges of gov- erment and of public education and State wardenship are not met, and bankruptcy threaiens the financial administration of the fifth State in the Union in population and wealth of natura] resources. These condi- tions have become intolerable. The present Democracic administration is thoroughly discredited and a change is imperatively demanded; nor does the ticket of the Demo- cratic party, recently nominated, effer any promise of relief to the voters of the State. We condemn the present adminis- tration for the iniquitous conduct of the State institutions. Our charitable and penal institutions and the po- lice forces in some of our cities have been prostituted to the poli- tical fortunes of the Democratic ma- chine. Wanton waste, extravagance, nepotism and inefficiency have been the rule throughout the State. We pledge our candidates to the reform of such conditions, to the establish- ment of a General Board of Control of our eleemosyniry inetitutions to the adoption of the merit system in the public service of the State, and to the establishment of economy and efficiency in the State Government, so that it shall be administered in ‘the interests of the whole people, rather than any political party. We declare in tavor of the adoption of the budget system, under which anticipated. revenues may be com- puted, the necessary amount re- quired for all State expenditures as- certained, and appropriations kept within the limits of available reve- nue; but we also declare that the absence of a budget system does not excuse the Democratic party for the present deplorable condition of the State’s finances, resulting from Dem- ocratic mismanagement. We pledge ourselves to the imme- diate enactment of a just and prac- ticable workmen's compensation law. Thirty-two states of the Union have enacted such laws within the past six years, while Missouri, under Democratic rule and in violation of platform pledges, has adhered to ob- solete and unfair laws. We also favor the enactment of laws de- signed to prevent industrial acci- cents. We favor home rule for the large cities of Missouri, both because it igs a fundamental American right and because the present system may be and has been used for factional and partisan purposes, to thwart the will of the voters elsewhere in the State. We condemn the hypocrisy of the Democrats in plotting to destroy home rule after unexpected develop- ments showed that it was not to their partisan advantage. We believe that the factional scandals that are disgracing Missouri are largely due to gubernatorial control of the police and excise matters of the large cities. We are opposed to the partisan po- litical and tnefficient management of the State penitentiary. We stand for the humane treatment of ‘convicts, the separation of hardened criminals from first offenders, the establish- ment of a hospital for the criminal insane, the employment of the able- bodied, as far as possible, in the open air, and not in competition with free labor, the actual abolition of the contract system in the penitentiary and the operation of the peniten- tiary in a modern, honest, business- like manner. We favor the prompt establishment of an intermediate reformatory for first offenders and condema the Dem- ocratic State officials for completely ignoring the unanimous mandate of the last General Assembly providing for such an institution by the ap- propriation of $135,000, which sum the State officials used for other pur- poses. We favor the submission by the next General Assembly to the voters of Missouri of the question of a new Conatitution. We declare tn this connection that a new Conatitution should be framed as a nonpartisan instrument, and therefore we recommend that the submission be made in a form to pro- vide for an equable and just repre- sentation of all political parties in framing said instrument.

LONDON, Aug. 24.—The hardest part about flying in the war is the think- ing what a flying man has to do. Here’s the idea in an English flying man’s own words: ‘There isn’t enough to keep a man’s | mind busy in the air since the war has developed the aeroplane. In the old days of the aeroplane there were sO many things a man had to watch that he didn’t have time to worry about what might happen to him. But in these days sitting in your machine is about like sitting on a log wait- ing for something to happen. “We don’t have to use our hands as we used to. There is only one lever, and you don’t have to watch that very closely. You can fiy for hours with- out having your hand on it. You can write or read or smoke and unless you touch the lever to change its position you will fly along at thé same level indefinitely owing to the self stabili- zation of the machine. Look Down; Watch Shells. “So, with your attention only mildly occupied, you keepirg looking down over the edge to see what's hapening. You get to watching the wires and won- dering what would happen if a bullet cut one of them. You look at the frail all {trons and consider how frail they really are. Shrapnel is break- ing below you and around you, per- raps. That’s a daily occurrence. There’s no use trying to dodge it, for by doing so you may only run into it. “So there you sit imagining all sorts of horrible possibilities. You've been told to go to a certain place and then return. Your route is all laid out for you and your duties are so simple and easy that while you're performing them you have a thousand times too much spare time for thought and worry. As for myself, I'd much rather have the aeroplane a less sim- ple affair, just to have my attention occupied. An imagination is a curse to a flyer.” And then there’s the problem of the whirling compass. An airman flies into a cloud; sud- denly the finger of his compass be- gins to whirl around like a clock gone mad. Scientists say it doesn’t whirl, but so many English airmen have had the experience that even the scientific men are wondering whether the phenomenon isn’t worth studying. The Whirling Compass. Here’s a flying man’s side of it: ““My compass finger has whirled like a top when I have gone into a cloud. It’s enough to turn you demented. It's bad enough, goodness knows, to be lost in a cloud, but to have your compass g0 back on you at the same time is too much. Our scientific instructors tell us that the compass doesn’t change but sdiisin BROADWAY | Here are two examples of the very unusual values we are offering in USED PLAYERS OVER 50 different styles and makes to select from—high- grade Player-Pianos that we have taken as part payment for new instruments—all have been thoroughly overhauled and put in first- class mi ‘ ‘> hb | &.

The New Tennis ‘‘Upper Ten.” A KALETDOSCOPIC shaking up of the upper ten in the tennis ratings ia One result that may be expected to bappen, this vear, when the tourna ment season is over and the ranking committee settles down to the most onerous task din the sport world None of the leaders has shown the form displayed last year. Consist- eney is lacking everywhere. The Iit-| tle Jap picked a moat opportune time for his big offensive against American ronora | At this time it is absolutely impos- sible to even hazard a guess foundel) on facts, as to who wij] show the hest at Forest Hills, next week. Johnston is playing more con-, sistently than probably any of those seeking hia tithe: but WiHl- liame«, Behr, Pell, Niles and probably McLoughlin are below par. These are the next high ranking men to the champion. Note the Luck Initials—‘‘J. J.” MONG the men who nowW seem to have a chance to croyyd in ahead of these players are Joseph Arm- strong, R. Lindley Murtay, \ atson Washburn and George Myers Church, These men have/ been much more steady in their performance than their ranking rivals. All of these nvet, with the ex- ception of Church, have beaten the clever little Jap, Kumagnae, in matches this season; while Church, up to the time he hurt his ankle, was playing as good ax any tennia eatar in the country. McLoughlin te asatill the myatery. What he will be able to flash, with ao little tournament play as he has had, this year, is the merest guess.

As a locked out union milk driver who has been employed for a number of years by one of the dairies now having trouble with their drivers, permit me to state a few facts as I observe them and which I believe to be fair both to employers and employes. While it is true that a few routes at each of the dairies involved pay as little as $60 to $62 per month, the majority of routes pay more than thic amount. After a man is placed on a wagon his earnings aré based entirely on his own ability to hold the trade he already has and to increuse his sales by watching for newcomers on his route and by be- ing attentive to the ones he already has. A man who shows an interest in his route is always rea- sonably sure of being advanced to better paying routes as opportunity presents itself, as the small- or routes are always given to the newcomers, which is the way it should be. ' As regards the lockaut, the employers knew that it was our intention (if let have our own way entirely) to whip one dairy into line at a time, as was done last January. They only beat us at our own game, and the majority of the boys are not sports enough to admit that we had one slipped over on us. With reference to hours, I know for a fact that there is not a single route at anv of the dairies that cannot be completely served in nine hours: that is, including everything, delivery, collecting and soliciting. “Milkman,” in his letter to you published Aug. 14, does not state facts when he says we work frdm 12 a. m. to 3 or 4 p. m. The boys report anywhere from 1:30 a. m. to 4:30 a. m. in summer and from 4:30 to 6 a. m. in winter, and in adci- tion are compelled by our own union rules to be entirely through our day’s work and off the streets by 10 a. m. on Thursdays end Sundays or submit to being fined. A great many drivers do str, out on their routes from 10 to 12 hours daily, because they kill time by talking to other drivers and customers and lose time in other ways. j “Justice,” in his letter to you oublished Aug. 165, says drivers pay for broken and iost bottles. In over 12 years’ service I have never been charged up with a single bottle and never knew of any driver paying for his bottle shortage. We do have @® pay when customers move owing us money, but only when we have used very poor judgment or have given credit after being told not to do so. FAIR PLAY. The Old Slogan. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Our old familiar friend, “the full dinner pail,” is with us again. He comes in quadrennial turns to gladden the hearts and fill the stomachs of | the faithful. If man were simply a beagt of bur- fen, life would be complete with his presence. But man is more than that. And therefore “the full dinner pail" is a thing for “laughter, flings and jeers.” SIDNEY AVERILL, Vigus, Mo. European War Bunk. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Mr. H. C. Meyer's complaint about newspaper bunk is perfectly justified, but 111 timed and iI! placed.. For going on two years we have had to read such bunk’ as “this war which was forced upon us and the treachery of Belgium: the brilliant victories won by 42-centimeter guns, poison gases and jets of liquid fire, where Ger- man courage failed against even odds and brave men, or even carried the day 10 men against one. or one against three armed with clubs instéad of rifles; the heroism of Zeppelin sailors killing ‘women and children with bombs at night, and of submarine commanders sneaking unseen upon unprotected liners. And then: Kaiser William, Emperor of the world, Admiral of the Atlantic, “the blow that will make the earth trembie!" Dear me, have we been spared anything? Now that we read a little different sort of bunk, Mr. Meyers gets peeved. I am afraid that he is a bad loser. The Dardanelles, Bagdad, Neuve Chapelle were failures, but how do they com- pare in sise and importance with the big Parise drive and the Calais drives number one and number two, which came such awful croppers? The Gomme and Verdun operations are atill to be decided, yet Verdun was to fall in October, 1916, in November, in February, 1916, surely in March, positively in May! fom the Louisville For titud profundity and generalities Queen's interview is only a little bit | THE STATE PLATFORMS. The new Governor of:Missouri and all members of the Missouri Legislature will go to Jefferson City next January pledged toa workingman’s com- pensation law, the budget system and, most im- portant of all, a convention for the revision of the Constitution. The plank of the Republican State platform is the more definite as to the budget system. In the absence, however, of constitutional provisions on the subject, the Democratic plan of advance esti- mates on revenue and expenditures would have just as much binding force. The buncombe of platform rhetoric has perhaps never had a finer illustration than in some of the insincere claims of the Democratic set of formu- lated political views and principles. It ,“unre- servedly indorses the wise, efficient and capable administration” of one of the cheapest and nasti- est outfits of statehouse ringsters that ever handicapped progress in Missouri or any other State. Particular party claimed because under an automatic law of many years’ standing the funds for public education have shown a slight increase, so that now they total about one-third of what a State of Missouri's wealth and population ought to devote to this paramoun?t purpose. How a political crime may be changed by plat- form buncombe into a political virtue is shown by the reference to the porch-climbing invasion of the school fund. This disgraceful plot is euphemis- tically termed a move to have “the apportionment of school funds forever settled by a decision of the Supreme Court” and is specifically indorsed. This act of political bankruptcy was committed in secret. The public did not find it out for sev- eral weeks. A court test was refused for several more weeks by the ringsters in control of the ma- chinery of the State Government and was only resorted to as a means of efcape from an uprising of universal indignation. To point with pride to so heavy a record of party liabilities is self-stultti- fication. It is not a very comfortable platform for the new ticket to run on. | The diction of the Republican platform is un- fortunate in references to the delinquencies of the current administration. It is reminiscent of the conventional phrases in which everything done by the opposition ic viewed with alarm. But it hap- pens in this case that irrefutable reasons for view- ing with alarm exist. Undeniable attractiveness is lent the Republican platform by its savage condemnation of nepotism and of barbarities at the State prison and its pledge of home rule and of the introduction of the merit principle into Missouri's entire civil service. —__—_-_—_—_ oe AWEWARD FOR MR. PAINTER. A frantic Lake Superior mob, having over- powered the officers and obtained the prisoners, found themselves helpless to continue the lynch- ing because of the total lack of rope for miles around. Lieutenant-Governor Painter’s ripper onslaught on the St. Louis Police Department had to come to a halt because accessories neces- sary to the ripping cannot be found. As no reputable St. Louisan wanted an appoint- ment as Police Commissioner tendered under such circumstances the lynching of the depart- ment could not proceed until Gov. Major’s return to Missouri. credit and distinction are = = ™ ~~ = MUST THE BABIES SUFFER? During this, one of the hottest summers St. Louis ever experienced, the babies in the tene- ments have been kept from suffering and death through the ministrations of:the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, now almost wholly sustained by the activities of the boys and girls of the Post- Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice League. PThis.has cost about $1000 a month. Owing to the increase in number of families needing pure milk for babies and ice to keep it fresh, the ice bill alone runs over $600 a month. It is no longer necessary, nor possible, to print, as in years when the Pure Milk Fund was started, appealing pictures of babies suffering for want of the right kind of food. The Fund has been instru- mental in preventing the starvation and death of hundreds of babies, in the years since it was be- gun. Just now, however, the Babies’ Life Saving Fund, as it might be called, is over $200 behind what it was this time last year. Is it possible that the charitably inclined public has come to be- lieve there is less need, becanse it is not brought to their attention in the shape of pictures? There is more need. Who will help to keep the babies from suffer- ing? = = Mr. Hughes is criticised for an excess of I’s. He is, however, merely contracting another habit of the Colonel's. = = — a DEWEY ON THE NAVY. Every American should read what Admira Dewey has to say about the American navy, in the interview in Wednesday’. Post-Dispatch. It is informing; it is reassuring. No other man in the United States is in a position to speak with such authority, such cer- tainty and such knowledge of the facts as Dewey, now and since 1900 president of the General Board of the Naval War College. He has been in the American navy since 1861 and has passed through two wars. As head of the General Naval Board, all plans for naval changes and improvements pass through his hands. Admiral Dewey emphatically denies the par- tisan accusation that Secretary Daniels has de- moralized the navy. He strongly commends Daniels’ administration, and agserts that it has resulted in an improvement in enlistment, in diecipline, in strength and equipment of ships, and in gunnery. He shows that the Senate naval bill, recently passed, will make the American navy the second Later® a F humor, | Pe PENS + Bee? ON SREGNS pata SSS SESE OF be in the world in strength and in modern propor | tion of the various types of vessels. And his reasons why it should be brought up to this standard, in spite of the cost, should satisfy those who have been inclined to protest and to look upon the move for naval preparedness as unnecessary. Summing up, Admiral Dewey says: I want the people of the United States to know that it is all right with the navy. There is no demoralization, no lack of discipline, no absence of enthusiasm. The navy has never failed America. It will not fail. = = i a A MUNICIPAL MILE DELIVERIES. Under the charter, the city of St. Louis has the }power to “construct, own, operate, and maintain | * * * public utilities * * * OR ANY OTHER UTILITY OF SERVICE TO THE CITY, ITS IN- HABITANTS, OR ANY PART THEREOF.” To utilize this power in relief of the irksome in- conveniences and deprivations of a long-continued milk strike might become a city duty. But whether or not this extreme step is, forced upon us, no question exists as to one duty: That is the duty of the city, through its police force, to maintain order, prevent violence and afford all needed protection. = = i i With the rising tide of taxation the necessity of municipal economy is urgent. a ry MATHEMATICS IN STRIKE SETTLEMENT. The mathematical ability of which Mr. Wilson, in approaching the problem of a railroad settle- ment, made an astonishing exhibit for a professor of political economy, is worthy of examination. The theorem for reconciling the irreconcilable when the deadlock becomes hopeless seems to be to employ the processes of division. Under all circumstances the processes of multiplication are to be rejected. He first obtained a division of the question. He separated the terms of the problem until the eight- hour day was isolated from all other terms. Then he centered attention on the eight-hour day until the subsidiary and incidental conditiens and in- tegers and digits were subordinated. The next step was to apply division to the cppo- sition. With that accomplished and analysis, iso- lation and subordination again applied to the separated parts, the solution will almost be in sight. The eliminated factors will still remain to be dealt with, but these ought easily to be brought within the theorem. It is not exactly the Cartesian, but Mr. Wilson has forgotten neither his calculus and his ana- lytical co-ordinates nor the trick examples in the back part of the high school arithmetic. If suc- cessful, he might try. his theorem on the problem of the irremovable obstacle and the irresistible force. = = * — SS BULL MOOSE ON THE HOOF. Mr. Perkins’ sale to Mr. Hughes under a bogus chattel mortgage of all rights in the Bull Moose, including hide, horns and standard packing house products, is thus described by the Missouri Pro- gressive State convention meeting at Kansas City: A betrayal of trust setting a dangerous precedent in American politics. It is a dangerous precedent, bu* little incentive will be offered to foliow it after the votes are counted in November. EDUCATION IN BELLEVILLE. Belleville is facing a crisis. Twice has a circus man come to town and twice have the city fa- thers turned him down. He is coming again. If he is made welcome, he will bring along his show end all will be well in Belleville. If he is spurned, he will shake the dust of that city from his feet and the circus will not pitch its tents in Belleville’s midst. The trouble is, Belleville wants a $100 license fee and wants the circus people to find and rent their own site. The circus man says he never pays a li- cense and he expects a site to be donated. He ex- plains that the circus brings people to town and, besides, it is an educational institution. This last consideration moves a Belleville ed- itor to suggest that the circus and the Township High School join hgnds in educational endeavor. The High School Board, he thinks, should tender the campus to the circus. “The circus is an edu- cational institution as well as the high school,” he says, “and the dignity of this school nor its usefulness would be in any way affected by hav- ing the circus on its campus.” Belleville awaits the next visit of the circus man with bated breath. Will the city fathers and the High School] Board see their duty, or will Belleville miss this stupendous educational op- portunity ? = = PHILANTHROPY WITHOUT WASTE. In the last week in July President Poin¢are re- ceived in special audience at his palace on the Champs Elysees Mr. William G. Sharp, United States Ambassador, asking him to transmit to the United States the French nation’s thanks for all America has done for that country and especially tc convey to the children of Amerita the acknowl- edgment of the $7,000,000 received from them for the French orphans. President Poincare said that the friendship be- tween the two nations was forever cemented by this splendid gift from the little ones. Mr. Sharp replied that he had never seen so thorough an arrangement for distribution as that which had resulted in all money contributed reach- ing the right spot, and without wastage. Every cent given by the American children had reached some French orphan; and there was no overhead expense taken out of the contributed fund. A re- sult in striking contrast with much philanthropic work here at home. The President incidentally mentioned the lb- eral help rendered by America in the matter of hospitals, in the field as well as behind the lines, and the volunteer nurses and physicians that had given their lives to help the wounded and sick. He especially also referred to the Foreign Le- gion, made up of all Americans, and praised their stalwart bravery in Thiamont Woods and at Vaux fort, both of which positions would have been ir- retrievably lost without “the stanch pluck of the American boys.” A wild applause greeted the speaker's words when he referred to “American boys,” who seem to ] > | en 2 / | = Sa ————— Vf 4 —— Mete:.

The grading of grain is to be less haphazard, cotton futures have been placed under supervision, Federal aid has been extended to roadmaking, markets and transportation for crops have been taken under the Government’s wing, and the farmer is to be able to negotitiate warehouse receipts exactly as the men who have bought the grain on a low market and held it for a high one have been able to do. In brief, the Government is diminishing those things in which the farmer is swindled, and increasing those things by whch he is made independent and happy. ‘‘I am afraid, however, that farming will never be what it should be until the Government exer- cises what may be termed a purely paternal influ- ence over that great industry. When it provides a penalty for laziness, and punishes a farmer for the neglect of his livestock and his machinery, it will bridge the chasm between farming and what is more technically known as business. We say farming is business, but we know it isn’t. If a government inspector could come along and arrest me for not plowing my corn when it needs plowing, for leaving my mowing machine out in the weather when it should be indoors, and for feeding my hogs on corn when I could double my profit in them by feeding alfalfa—if the Government did that, farm- ing would be business, really and truly, and farmers would wear rings on their fingers and bells on their toes.’’ IN THE POOL, OU looked into my eyes and amiled, Y And downward dived with all nymph’s grace, And then the water clasped your yielding form And kissed your roguish face.

By George Munson. IM DAVIS, in the train, cursed at! the delay in reaching his destina- tion. He was in a bad humor with the world—not that this was unusuil vith him. His gambling trip, which was te have netted him enough for asix : months of extravagance and luxury, be- gides the modicum needed for Molly, : = had produced only a few hundreds, : thanks to the new vigilance of the He watched the girl in the opposite compartment. She was a pretty girl, with a tear-stained face at which she dabbed furtively with her pocket hand- xerchief. She looked as Molly had jooked, 10 years before, when he had ‘ersuaded her to throw over slow-going q Jack Douglas and become a gambler’s wife. He knew that Molly had regretted her ehoice every week of her life since then, and he had taunted her with it - gpd taken pleasure in inviting Douglas to the house. He could see their love for each other, unexpressed. What a : fool Douglas was, not to take advan- ’ tage of his long absences! But vhat a good thing that Molly was a church member and so incapable of deceiving | ! ale cursed again as the train sped on. He had long since tired of Molly. Still, i. was convenient to have the little household drudge at home, to cook and slave for him in the rare intervals of his presence there. Suddenly the train lurehed, swayed, ewung giddily along the edge of the embankment and crashed into nothing- ness! Jim Davis was on his feet, staring at the ruin. The girl who had awakened his interest lay pinned beneath a beam. There were heartrending groans and cries everywhere. By a miracle he, Da- vis, had escaped unscathed. Gambler's luck! What Jim Davis Saw. E did not stop to think of the suf- H ferings of his fellow travelers. The wreck had taken place just at the outskirfs- of his home _ town. Nearby a trolley car had stopped. A crowd was gathering, running from every quarter of the compass. Davis cursed as he pushed his way through them tnd mounted the trolley. Soon he was speeding far from the scene of the disaster. Half an hour later he was standing im his apartment. It was queer that Molly had left the door unlocked. He would take it out of her for that. He approached the little, barely furnished % living room quietly, intending to sur- out of her eyes. He flattered himself that he could read his wife’s face like a book. To his surprise he saw Douglas stand- ing there, and Molly, with tear-stained face, leaning her elbow on the mantel and looking at him attentively. “IT am sorry,” he said conventionally. “It is terrible,” said Molly. “The newspaper gives his name among those killed. I thought it my duty to be the first to tell you.” Molly put her hands in his. **Thank you, Jack,” she answered. “I can’t pre- tend to be sorry.” “You ought to be glad,” said Jack Doligias, flushing. Jim Davis chuckled. The situation was amusing—extremely so. The poor fool could have divorced him years be- fore, and she had felt bound by her promise st the marriage altar. And even now these two dared not tell each other of their love. Jim was mistaken there. Douglas held her hands tight in his own. “Molly, you know what this means to me,”’ he said. She leaned her face against cheek. ‘’To me,” she murmured. “He was a bad man, Molly.” “Sometimes I think of the man I used to love,"’ she answered. ‘“‘He was not wholly bad, Jack. But I shall try to forget him.’’ The Vision Ends. | - S= raised her head and their lips his met. Incredulity and rage swept over Davis’ face. He had not dreamed that this love-moking would go on in the face of his supposed death. He thrust the door open and stalked into the room. “A little premature, Douglas,” he sneered. “I’m sorry to break up this love-making scene, but I couldn't die when I knew how much it would mean to you, Molly!”’ To his amazement neither answered hir:. Jack put his arm about Molly and drew her closer to him. Jim Davis ran toward him, his fists clenched. “Get out, you blackguard!” he roared, making a vicious swing at the other. His fist seemed to pass right: through Douglas. And atill there was the lov- ing smile on Molly’s face. And while Jim Davis looked at them in conster- nation everything faded, and he became aware of an intense and unendurable [pain that gripped his body and wrune it as if in a vise. He opened his eyes and the light of day almost blinded him. He was ly- ing under the wreckage. It had all been a dream. Near him was the gir) THE WOMAN wre THIS AMOUNT OF BAGGAGE— Lf » “THE -_WoOMAN WITH THIS AMOUNT ~ USUALLY FAVORS THIS AMPLE ouT-Fit alae _ i — “a whom he had seen, pinned under the beam, but not severely hurt. She was free above the knee, and it rested light- ly upon her leg, without pressing there. Still, to escape was impossible. Jim Davis rolled toward her, and ev- ery motion wags like the plunging of knives into his body. He tried to lift the beam, but, of course, could not. And suddenly a fresh outcry from near by, and a sense of intolerable heat, startled him. The wreckage was afire from the engine. | The flames were creping nearer.

OR a number of years bricks have been made from lava rocks deposit- ed by ancient flows in certain parts of the Hawalian Islands. Now it is be- lieved that a station erected near one of the active volcanoes could by means on an endless chain of buckets transport the molten lava directly from the pit to the station, where it could be poured into molds. the TurRevs likely to come to them. RS. TURKEY called her family about her and told them she wanted them to listen carefully to all she was going to say: “In a hole on the other side of the hill lives Mr. Fox. He is a sly fellow, and he has many fine things to say and a very smooth tongue for saying them. You must all be careful not to listen to him for he will be sure to visit the barnyard soon, and if you do not Keep out of his reach or you are foolish enough to listen to him, he will surely fet you and carry you off to his den over the hill.” The little turkeys promised they would be very careful, and Mrs. Turkey put on her bonnet and took her basket on her arm and went to market. The little turkeys drew the latch and went upstairs to look out of the window, so they could see old Mr. Fox if he came. But they saw nothing but a goat jump- ing and capering over the hill, and he came straight for their house. “Oh, how funny he is!’ said the little turkeys, and they all put their heads out of the window the better to see the funny dancing goat. “Come out and play with me,” called Mr. Goat, as he came nearer the little turkeys. “It is nice out here in the field, and I will teach you to dance.” answered. ‘‘“Mother has gone to market and we are al] alone.” “All the better,” said Mr. Goat, “she won't know anything about it; come and dance and you can go back in the house before she comes back.” “Oh, no, no; we cannot, Mr. Goat,” they said. “Mother told us not to go out. She told us old Mr. Fox might get us. Did you ever see him, Mr. yao yes, many times," said Mr. Goat. “He is a nice fellow, too; not a bit as scme people think he Is. What did your mother say about him?’ “Oh! she said he was sly,” answered the little turkeys, “‘and she said he had a smooth tongue, and that he iiled.”’ Well all that is true,” said Mr. Goat. “T don’t see why you should be afraid ‘a why talk of Mr. Fox? Come out in the fields and dance, and I will bring you back before your mother comes home.” i Mr. Goat danced and capered about, é¢ N° we cannot come out,”’ they “Not me” said Devis. “There's a~ girl there—under the smoke.

Walker. and the little turkeys wanted to dance, too, so down they flew right out of the windoyr. ~ “Now, all flap your wings, and then run this way,” said Mr. Goat, dancing and jumping to show them how, and away they went into the fields. “What makes your legs so black?’ asked one little turkey, “and what a black, pointed nose you have, Mr. Goat.” é¢ H, I am that kind of a goat, | and my coat does not fit me as well as it might; but, speaking of Mr. Fox, wouldn't you 1..e for me to introduce you to him and then you need never be afraid of him | again. I know him well and he never would harm any friend of mine.”’ “Oh! mother told us not to speak to him. I am sure she would not like it,” said the little turkeys, huddling te) gether. “Oh! but I am sure she would be pleased when she knew you were friends with him: and there was noth- ing to fear,” said Mr. Goat,. and he pushed the poor little turkeys right along before him. Over the hill they went and no one ever saw them again, for, of course, tt was Mr. Fox himself dressed in Mr. Goat’s skin, as he knew Mrs. Turkey had gone to market and that it would be easy to fool the little turkeys, but ff they had obeyed their mother they would have bééen there when she came home.
