Just when or where the large num- ber of deaths and serfous Injuries, which result from the reckless driving of automobiles or the failure to respect the regulations which have been adopted through necessity, are going to cease is beyond the power of man to forecast. . Ordinarily the lesson taught when fatalities occur through heedlessness and a disregard for apparent danger can be expected to have its good ef- fect in teaching others to avoid simi- lar trouble, but it apparently does not. Every weck end furnishes just as many such instances as if none had cver occurred. Care appears to be an unknown quantity for many who should exercise it only for their own but for the safety of those who are with them and for whose lives they are responsible. The reading public will glve a sish of rellef if the time ever comes when the day's news brings fewer storics such as those of Monday morning which told of “Five dead in joy ride” In New York, “Six killed when trai hits auto” in Pennsylvania, “Two hurt when auto upsets” in Delaware, “Mo- reyelist loses a leg,” and “Motorey- clist's skull fractured” in New Jer- sey, “Dives to death on motorcy and “Four people hurt, auto smashed” In Massachusetts and tead in auto upset and five others hurt” in Rhode Island. These are but a few of the many in the week cnd's list of horrors which show that safety first is getting far too little consideration. “One MORE POLITICS? Nothing has callec attention to the unsatisfactory condition of the militia in many of the states of the unicn like the call for service that was issued by the president in connection with the Mexican trouble. It was a revelation that immediately pointed out the weak spots particularly when troops from the most distant states were the first %0 be sent south because those which were directly concerned and those ad- jacent were not in condition, either as 1o training or equipment, to meet the requirements. In not a few states the militla are still in their mobilization camps. The full uota called for was not available when sought and such service as they were expected to perform had to be left to those which were. It is perfectly plain that the state military organizations in those com- monwealths need much attention if they are going to make the federalized militia what it is expected to be, but with border conditions such that the organizations from a number of the states are being sent home little rea- son, can be seen in the order which has just called out the guardsmen from Tennessee and North Carolina for ser- vice in Texas when such has not been sought by those in charge of the army operations on the border. The only apparent excuse for it is politics and that ought not to be allowed to play @ part in such affairs. SETH LOW. A man who has been prominently identified with reform movements has been taken away Dy the death of Seth ILow, former president of Columbia university and previously mayor of | Brooklyn and New York. He has been 'a man of great usefulness in the me- |tropolis. His ability was recognized before he had completed his college | course and it was only a decado there- after that he was honored by thd elec- |tion to the mayeralty of Brooklyn, his |native city. It was there that he put ‘many reforms into effect after bring- {ing to light some of the wretched con- l@itions that had been permitted to He brought to the front the idea that manicipal government should be undertaken and carried out without | forth mor regard to national politics and when & leader was needed for such a move- _ment which sought to right many of not until his second try { elected but he nevertheless during his term in office Gid much to improve conditions in the big city. Similarly did he undertake the work which was entrusted to him as president of Co- lumbia at a most important period in the history of that institution, and while he made no pretense as an edu- cator as an organizer and business ad- minfstrator he was most successful. Not only New York but the entire country has felt the benefit of his in- terest in reform work, whether it was in the misunderstandings between labor and capital, educational work in the south or the correcting of the ecor- rupt practices in politics. ANOTHER REASON FOR PROTEC- TION. There is much food for thought in an official Japanese document regard- ing ‘the pay of the working people in that country, particularly when indus- tries are undergoing constant and ex- tensive development and Japan is al- ways looking for bigger export trade. In the case of textile workers there is pald from 22 to 27 cents a day to the men while the women recelve from 14 to 16 cents. The men empioved in chemical works get from 25 to 34 cents as a day's pay and the women from 14 to 17 cents. The average pay of the male printers is 26 cents and for the female 14, and with the electrical workers the average is 28 and 9 Te- spectively. The pay is equally low among the farm labor where the men recetve $26 a year under contract. The average day laborer received $2,36 a month, a female servant $1.50 a month and a carpenter about 44 cents a day. And this is all based on a day of 14 hours. Child labor Is also largely used In Ja- pan and it is correspondingly low. With such conditions prevailing is there any wonder that there is a de- mand for protective legislation in this country? = Can business in this coun- try expect to compete with such cheap labor conditions? Japan is developing along industrial nes. It is reaching out for foreign markets and it has since the seamen’s law went into effect here branched out extensively i1 the shipping line so that it is prepared to take advantage of every market for its products and this country is bound to feel the effects of it unless it takes steps to protect it- self. THE BRITISH “TANK"” Many important inventions have been brought out since the war in Eu- rope was begun and they have proved a success or a failyre according to the manner in which they have served the direct purpose for which they were brought into use, but none has called attention than the armored, self propelling, self track laying car fitted out with a battery of machine guns which has been put into use on the western front by the British and which has callea forth the nickname of “tank.” Bigger guns have been brought into service for the battering down of for- tifications. New types of machine guns have been tried out. The aero- plane has been developed to a greater degree than ever before and trench warfare has been introduced with its Interesting underground operations. There have also been the armored trains and large guns have been mounted on specially constructed rail- road trucks, while armor protected au- tos have been emploved, but nothing has approached the “tanks” which 8o anywhere and serve as an important tactor not on¥ in mowing down the enemy by their machine gun fire but tn plowing through the maze of barbed wire nslements. The “tank” has been constructed to meet certain needs and from all ac- counts it is fuifilling expectations and because of the secrecy with which it has been constructed, it has for the time being secured a great advantage over the enemy. It where necessity has proved th: of invention. s another Instance T e mo EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner people never hold sickness light that the industrious do. ys: La the same Reelection for Congressman Richard P. Freeman is going to be secured al- most as easily as was his unanimous renomination. That heart to heart conference of the Teutonic leaders does not appear to have added any strength to the de- fense along the western front. The American delegates are going to ask those from Mexico ahout inter- nal conditions across the border, but what is the use of harping upon such a tender subject? A London blacksmith has been jail- ed because he cut off the end of his trigger finger to prevent conscription, ana yet blacksmiths are supposed to be the best kind of fighters, The democratic headquarters is much elated over the way subscrip- tions for the campaign are coming in, which indicates better success in that endeavor than in raising national reyenue, That party rescued from Flephant Island was eager to learn when.the war ended. They will doubtless show no surprise if from the reports from Berlin they reack the conclusion th it' has only just begun. The action of the government in ad- vertising the cruiser Boston, of the famous white squadron that took part in the fight at Manila, for sale as junk glveg further proof that fame is here today and gone tomorrow. Just to offset the claim that Villa’s prestige 1s gone, the wily bandit pops up and declares that he will soon have another large army. That sounds like Villa and definitely settles the claim that he is dead and burled. A master baker in New York de- clares that the consumers would save $25,000,000 & year by buying ten-cent bread, but it has been a long time that he has taken in deciding to take the public into his confidence. With a portion of that mob who horribfy treated and threatened to lynch the sheriff at Lima, O. under indictment, an example has been set which ought to be called to the at- tention of Georgia and Texas. That kind offer of the sultan to per- mit rellef to be carried to the Sy- rians may have been calculated to stir up a spirit of friendship but they, like the Armenians, must feel that nothing whatever can create such a feeling in the future. ‘Considering the affair from all sides, & terrible time was being had by Bd- win. s It was being borne In upon him that one should think carefully before tak- ing a stand on any subject. In this case, he had grabbed his subject first and now it threatened dislocation of his life’s entire habits, to say noth- ing of his emotions. ‘When Aunt Grace had punished him he could not quarrel with the justice of the decree, but what had led him to his fatal act was sheer Indigna- tlon that the punishment should have been meted out by one whom he so adored.

It is supposed to derive its name from the ruins of an old tower in the vicini which is sald to have been built in commemoration of one of the victor- ies of the Roman emperor Serverus. “It was at Turnu Severin that the late King Charles I, who died only a few weeks after the outbreak of the European war in 1914, first landed on Rumanian sofl in May 1866, and was hailed by the populace as the succes- sor to their first prince, Colonel Cuza, who, as Alexandru John I, had been forced to abdicate a short time previ- ously. Charles was the second son of Prince Charles Antony of Fohenzol- lern-Simaringen and at the time his name was submitted to the people of Rumania (he was chosen by a vote of 685,969 to 224) was an officer in the Prussian army. As the king of Prus- sia was pledged to support a native noble for the Rumanian principality Charles could not be espoused openly, but upon the advice of Bismark he re- signed his commission in the Prussian army and, under an assumed name and with a forged passport, made his way down the Danube into the coun- try over which he was to rule most successfully, first as prince and later as king, for more than half a cen- tury. “A short distance below Turnu Sev- erin is the little village of Kladova which in Roman times was known as Egeta, the station from which Tra- jan's two roads of conquest diverged one up the banks of the Danube and the other striking north Into Dacia. It was the latter road which necessitated the construction of the famous Trojan Bridge across the Danube at this point, the largest in the Roman Em- pire.” How well the great Damascus architect Apollodorus designed this structure is indicated by the fact that after more than 1800 years portions of some of its 20 stone piles described by the historian Gibbon are still to bo scen, and perhaps it would have done service for centurles had it not been destroyed to- prevent tha invasion of the territory south of the river by the Goths. The remains of this famous work were not discovered until 1834, the honor of the find being credited to Michael Joseph Quin who made a sys- tematic search for the piers while ac- companying the Hungarian road- builder Count Ezechenyl on one of his journeys down the Danube. _The Stones which are now disclosed at low water are the ruins of plers 145 feet high, 58 feet broad and 163 feet part.

She passed him by as though he were not, she sat opposite him and found thousands of places for her eyes, each of which miraculously was out of range of him. The throat lump was growing huge and a horribly depress- ed feeling gripped Edwin without his being able to locate the precise spot. ‘Well, it served her right! This was what people got for being cruel! Let her suffer! Even Edwin's imagination could not have compassed the situation which followed that evening when on a ma- chine ride, he was left alone with her in the car while the others were on an errand. He twisted: far over in his corner of the seat, and Aunt Grace remained far over in hers. There was silence. It was a_horrible silence. Edwin twisted a trifie. More silence—an impossible silence.

Norwich, ept. 18, STORIES OF THE WAR \\ Football As a Diversicn. A satrist writing on the madness of the: Enziish might have conceived as the wildest stretch of fantasy the English sportsm Zoing into battle kicking a football before him. But any one in England who thought at | the veginning of the war of such a possibility would have been consider- ed a junatic. Yet it is hitory that the London Irish _at Loos dribbled an tion football in their at day at Kingston Barracks, the quar- ters of the East Surreys, a_ football which had arrived from the front the previous night was set in the place it v of honor, and the story of how played in a match to the death with the Prussian Guards was told by Col. Treeby, the commandant of the bar- racks. Che battalion of the East Surréys was drawn up for the attack on Mon- tauban. It was oprosed by the Prus sian Guards. Capt. Nevill gave the signal for the advance by kicking off this football. With two other foot- balls it was dribbled under heavy fire right up to the German trenches. The gallant captain hed been killed along Wwith many of the forwards in that at- tack. Wellington's theory of Water- loo having been won on the playing fields of Eton is less true than that many of our battles in this terrific war have been won in the flelds of the football leagues. Probably there is sound psychology in the production of the football, with its old sporting associations, Wt a moment when men are strung up al- most to breaking pitch for ths su- preme crisis of their lives. Some Ger- man professor will doubtless find one day that football was part of our dis- guised military training for attack on Germany, just as cricket was a prepa ration for our bomb-throwins.

Washington, D. C. Sept. 18.—After fifty vears of negotiations, and at a cost of $25,000,000, the United States is on the threshold of achieving the ownership of the source of all genuine bay rum. It is true that we are not buying the Danish West Indies prim- arily because they are the group made famous by the refreshing toilet pre- paration, nevertheless the American people will feel more *at home” in calling the islands ‘ours’ when they recall that if it weren't for St. ‘Thom- as, St. John and St. Croix freshly shaved faces would be unsoothed and throbbing heads would be uncolled by the universaily popuiar product of dis- tilled bay leaves. The geography and etymology of bay rum are defined in_the following bulletin issued by the National Géo- graphic Society: “If the average user of bay rum ever stops to consider the name and origin of this fragrant lotion he prob- ably thinks it quite appropriate that the perfume should be made from the fruit of the ‘flourishing green bay tree’ and of those leaves with which the heroes and poets of antiquity were crowned when the people delighted to do them homor. The thought is ap- propriate but the facts are refractory, for it isn't that kind of a bay tree. The bay tree of glory is the laurus nobilis, while the bay of rum has the caustic name of myrica acris. “The peculiar species of _aromatic bay which supplies the distinctive in- gredient of bay rum is closely allied in appearance to several other varie- ties of bay growing on St. John and St. Croix, and great care is necessary to avoid confusion in gathering the berries, for a very small number of leaves of the wrong kind will materially affect the quality of the finished product “The leaves of the myrica acris are from three to five inches in length. The round berries are about the size of a pea and contain from seven to cight seed. The bay rum which is made from a combination of green leaves and berries is of a better qual- ity than that distilled from dried leaves or from the leaves without the berries. The berries are very diffi- cult to gather, however, and they cost from 15 to 20 times as much as the |1eaves. “The basis of bay rum is Jamsica or St. Croix rum, made from the skim- mings of the sugar boilers, scrapings of sugar barrels, and the washings from sugar pots. For the best grade of the toilet article the original rum used should be free from foreign odors and almost colorless. “For a number of years much of the bay rum of American commerce has been manufactured in this country, the ingzredients usually being about one-half the bulk alcohol, one-six- teenth Jamacia rum, 40 drops of oil of bay to the pint, 20 drops of oil of orange, a few drops of oil of mace, and the remainder distilled water, all of which is allowed to stand for sev- eral weeks and is then filtered through magnesia. §The myrica acris is only a distant relative in the family of trees to the ornamental tubbed bays which before the war were shipped to this courtry by the tens of thousands from Hol- ITCHING PIMPLES DISFIGURED FAGE Red and In Blotches, Scratched and More Pimples Broke Out.
