(Established 1873) GE SOME HAPPY WOMEN There are some “royal personages” in the | smashed central empires who will shed few tears, over the debacle of royalty and absolutism in Teu- tondom. They are the royal women of all the deposed kingly and princely families. Superslaves they have always been in spite of the golden chains and cages about them and the fawning of menials. Marriage will hereafter mean to them following the dictates of their own hearts, not a bartering ; of honor and selfrespect and personal happiness “for dynastic reason: There are no more dynasties to intrigue for power through matrimonial alliances. It was a theory that died in the Great War that by inter-| relationship reigning families could strengthen and perpetuate their power and “divine rights.” The folly of it was exposed when William Hohen- zollern attacked his cousins, George of Britain! and Nicholas of Russia. High-born women are hereafter to be just as, free in Teutondom as their untitled sisters. They | will be able to vote if the new republics are real and carry out their promises of unrestricted suf- frage. The world will be treated to no more spectacles like that brazened before civilization so long by Franz Josef and Katti Schratt and Empress Eliz- abeth; no more triangle tragedies like that of) Prince Rudolph and Marie Vetsera in Meyerling;) no more romances like that of Archdukp'gohn of | Austria who went away to sea with his mon- er’ wife and sailed to the Port of Missing Men; No more such pitiful exhibitions as that of Fred- erick and Louise of Saxony and the tutor. Nor will there be any more such tragedies that of Augusta of Prussia and Zita of Austria pleading in vain with monarch-husbands to. stay the hand of slaughter. These royal women have had no freedom of choice as to the fathers of their children, At the} nod of tyrants they have been given to madmen and debauchers. ® Their miseries are over. a HE 00D THE FUNNY CHRISTMAS GIFT | The Red Cross worker stood behind the pine counter in the postoffice lobby putting the final seal of inspection and approval on a fat Christmas carton for a boy overseas. A hundred such parcels had passed through her hands that day, and as she listened to the stories of the women who brought the precious boxes to her, while she inspected and re-packed the simple gifts, the Red Cross worker knew that her work was more than the fulfillment of a government regulation—it was a sacrament of human love and} service. But the day had been long, and the constant pull og her sympathies and tugs at her emotions had been exhausting. She longed for her own quiet fireside and time to con over the mighty les- sons of the day. She almost hoped there would} be no more parcels brought that night. Then a slow, dragging step approached the! =— | \be ordered out for@-fitidl gamble at sea had the lon the top, so the boy would see that first of all. |The worker opened the box—but on the top was the Great Gift—the thing which the boy must isee “first of all’—FOUR ANIMAL CRACKERS! “He loved ’em so when he was a kid,” the father stammered. And so “what was on top was LEFT on top” and the cracker lion and bear, and goatvand giraffe began their strange journey half the world around, from the toil blackened hands of a father to the sun-browned hands of a soldier son—four animal crackers, funny, beautiful symbol of all that men live, and fight, and die for—symbol of love, of faith, of home. We'll have peace until congress reassembles, anyhow. Penrose seems as little eager to abdicate as the kaiser was. Somebody is sure to remark that the telegraph merger will be a wire-bound affair. Matrimony epidemic in the United States can’t be avoided, no matter how many Yanks marry abroad. Pumpkins for the Yanks in France? Why, cer- tainly! They’re “some pumpkins” themselves, aren’t they? Unmarried men in American don’t care a whoop if more than 250,000 Americans soldiers do marry French girls. The surrendering U-boat crews seem to have about the same contempt for themselves as their British conquerors had. Suspicion is rife that King Winter hasn’t really abdicated, but is staging a dramatic return, with all movie rights reserved. Americans soldiers who marry in France prob- ably will find the French mother-in-law about the same as the American article. The desire of congress to run things its own way henceforth would be’ more easily realized if congress knew which way it was going. Profits aren’t alkdjagrédited. ‘Think of the gains of the party who. ih hdges to get good films ff some of these navy and fortress surrender affairs! Britain’s dead alone number more than six times America’s total casualties. Let’s not get cocky about our earnest but secondary part in the late war. Now, when our American bourbons begin to complain of the “excesses” of popular government, let’s not forget the still recent excesses of imperial government. Those of us who believed the German fleet woul right hunch, but ré¢kéned without the singular discretion of the crews. The best punishment for Count Snake von Bernstorff would be to bring him back to America and put him at the mercy of the reporters who used to bait him daily back in 1916. No complaint about feeding Germany has yet been heard from the packers, who, however, have never been accused of wanting to keep American foodstuffs from foreign peoples. Doubtlss—as Armour so cheerfully predicts—we’ll be paying skyhigh prices for four years to come, while Huns are eating our food supplies at a nominal price. “Nominal,” we say, because it’s a cinch that in their present impoverished condition the Huns coul dnever pay the prices the packers get from US. counter—and another carton was pushed across. | The worker looked up to meet the shy, embar-| rassed eyes of a middle-aged workingman, a beard- | ed, big, stooped, gray man, evidently a foreigner. !

KIRBY. N. E. A. Staff Correspondent. New oYrk.—A world-wide dye and chemical industry created out of the necessities of the war. that will offer opportunities for the employment of thousands of new workers is looked for by the men who have built the new industry. Before the war Germany has a prac- tical monopoly. ‘There were but seven American firms manufacturing dyes from imported German materials. Now we are satisfying our own needs and exporting about $20,000,000 worth of dyestuffs and chemicals annually to the allies. It is estimated that next we will export approximately 000,000 of dyes and chemicals and thereafter the trade will advance by leaps. Millions of Dollars Back of New eageseel Oe industry Behind rn. Lu at capitalists in Amer- being spent in developing this indus- try, which it is planned to extend until American dyes and chemicals suply the world. At this moment there are 200 firms in this country manufacturing dyes and cemicals and these employ ap- proximately 30,000 workers, of whom at least 18,000 lack technical training. There is about $1,000,000,000 already sunk in the new industry. One expert here points out that in the next five years probably 200,000 persons will ‘be engaged in manufacturing chemi- cals and dyes in this country. , About 2,000 of our best chemists are working night and day improving dyes and chemicals. For instance, in the classes of dyes which if imported ‘would be dutiable at 30 per cent plus 5 cents a pound, the American manu- have made remarkable pro- gress, the production in 1917-1018 be- ing 43,810,350 pounds, at a total value of $57,639,991. This represents an pany and the Barrett Company of New Jersey are three of the largest con- cerns in this new industry. Chemicals for use in fertilizers also will be in tremendous demand for years after the war, and our agricul- tural chemical industry will have to strain itseilf to the utmost to help out the world’s needs for these fer- tilizers. Robert. S. Bradley, chairman of the ‘board of directors of the American Agricultural Chemical Company, puts it this way: | “The enormous demand for all farm products throughout the world has naturally had a@ stimulating effect on the fertilizer industry. and has led to a greater use of fertilizers.” Skating Every Monday and Thursday at Armory Phone 75, City Fuel Co.

There are many other gypsies in Washington, but because Marie seems to have unusual clairvoyant tal- ents in addition to her skill at palm- jistry and phrenology, they ook to her as their queen. Maybe her‘youth and her characteristic dark-haired gypsy beauty have something to do with it. I sought Maria on the chance that she might tell me her answer to the question everyone in America is ask- ing—‘What’s going to happen to the kaiser?” She told me—after I had crossed her palm with silver; these sypsies don’t seem to know how to speak un- til you cross their palms with silver. And she told me more. She said— her eyes closed as in a trance: “The kaiser is going back to Ger- many. I see him in Berlin.

This rate of operation does not include ves- sels in the service of the army or navy. The merchant fleet of 1,500 ships under the control of the United States shipping boerd is run as a railroad, on 8 time schedule. The duty of measur- ing ships’ performances, with their tasks, is lodged with the planning and statistics division of the shipping board, headed by E. H. Gay, formerly. dean of the Harvard Graduate School of business, Obviously the ‘division must know the tasks In detall, and so it co-ordt- nates with the war industries and war trade boards in determining and pro- viding for the country’s needs from abroad. It works on month to month schedules, or as far in advance as it is feasible or possible to forecast. Works With All Departments. In planning the use of ships the di- vision works. with. thé food administra- tion in determining the shipping re- quirements for food; with the war de- partment in correlating shipping with the requirements of the line of sup- plies for the western front; with the war industries board in seeking solu- tion of the problem of bringing neces- sary raw imports into the country, and with the war trade board in preparing the lists of essential imports and ex- ports, As the country has gone more and more on a war basis, it has been re- garded necessary to lmit the list of essentinl imports to less than 100. Data-on the ships and their trade pro- vide, ‘the basis for operation of the vessbla {tintder the shipping board’s con- N./trol. | Likewise records are kept of neutral vessels coming to this coun: try or linking up with its foreign trade, Hy Thus the division checks daily about 7,000 vessels, 1,500 of them being those of the shipping board, 8,000 engaged directly in American commerce and 2,500; scattergd over the globe and trading for the most part with the al- Nes or thelr colonies. Roughly, one- fourth of the merchant ships of the world are watched by the shipping board. Charts for Each Ship. Ship performances against tasks are recorded by “progress charts,” which shoy {at-p clance what the vessels have to do and how they are doing it. Each N.| get of» charts {s' divided into ten di- visions—one each for movements of vessels, turn-arounds, ships’ charts of commodities, individual commodity charts, summary of imports, individual trades, summary of trades, ship charts of exports, performances in ports and dock performances. Copies are: dis- tributed every ten days to govern- ments which require constant informa- tion about the movement of supplies. By these movement charts any in- formation regarding locations and movements of vessels is accessible, and from past performances one may forecast the time of future voyages. The summary on shipping and trade, prepared every ten. days for the war industries und war trade boggds and the food administration, helps shape the larger policies underlying the use of American ships in war time. The charts tell whether the ships allocated to a certain trade are enough, too many or too few; whether they bring in too little or tog “much; whether they are on timé, ahead of time or behind time, and whether the trade movement is too slow, too fast or just right. The charts also serve to guide the ship control committee in the as- signment of vessels to various trades, By comparing tmport requirements against deliveries. the charts show when vessels may be transferred from one trade to another or released to the army. 4 SALESMAN KNITS FOR “BOYS” Devotes All His Spare Time to Work While Waiting for Trains.
