CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING NOV. 19th, 1921 ? 11,652 COASTING ACCIDENTS. A warning that deserves full attention s that which is given by the coasting accident in Worcester Where one boy was killed and two were injured in a collision With an automobile while slid- ing down hill. In this instance it is to be noted that the chauffeur of the motor car was held to be blameless. It was in all probability one of thdse ances where sliding on public thor- oughfares was being fndulged in where another street ran at right angles to the the coasting was being done, und where the coasters and the vehicle recelved no warning of the other.

THE MATERNITY BILL. When it came to the vote on the Shep- pard-Towner Wil in the lower house of take a who are llkewise have & hand in determiming tow the money shall sctually be used. Just where indulgence in this legisla- tion may lead to no one wants to pre- dlet. It opens the gate to many expen- ditures along a similar lne. But it Is to be realized that a number of years ago the government saw the wisdom of making federal appropriations for the purpose of bettering the conditions con- cerning the nation’s livestock, and If that was advisable it has been imposst- ble to convince the blg majority of the memibers of congress that it ought to be quite as much Interested in the children of the land. . EEEPING SHIPS FROM SCRAPHEAP A proposition in whieh it s only rea- sonable that there should be a high de- gree of interest is that which has been suggested by Maine men to the admin- istration and shipping board members in Which they urge the use of the mater- ial which has been gathered for the con- struction of five battle cruisers in the building of fast passenger vessels. It is to be reakzed that when Sec- retary Hughes made his recommenda- tions concerning the scrapping of the warships which are to be eliminated as well as those which are underway and contemplated , the details of such work was left for the eonference to supply. The idea was to make them mseless for warships and to make it impossible for any of the maierfal which has been turn- ed out or that in the process of being made to be used in the building of such ships as were intended. However, it is only reasonable to suppose that any nation which must engage in such scrap- ping would be desirous of realizing as much as posstble from the discarded vessels and If It is possible to salvaze the ships or the materia] the plan hould make as strong an appeal to all as to0 any onme of them. There is of course the junk value but if a greater return can be gotten for the material not only through the sale but through the con- version of the steel or the hulls into pas- senger or frelght vessels there is Teason to preveft the waste and get the beme- fit. It is plain that.the country has more merchant vessels than it can employ and more than it can sell at a fair price but there is apparently the same argument to be faced In connection with diverting such warshlp material into passenger ships as there is in the refitting of the big Leviathan. The idea Is to get the most out of it, with the additional fea- ture that it would be keeping busy those shipyards and employes whoses activi- ties would be seriously interrupted through the curtailment of warship building. The suggestion should at least get the serious consideration of the conference committee that will determine how the warships and material are to be serap- ped CAUGHT BY THE LAW. Once again the country has beer shown that the Sherman anti-trust law cannot be violated with impunity. Nei- ther can 1t .be expected by those wnc are willing to take a chance in violat- ing it that they Will get off by the pay- ment of a fine. Such revelations come through the ac- tion of the federal court In the New York district in sentencing to’jail five of the leading offenders in the tile trust and the fmposition of fines up to $5,000 in the cases of the others, while cor- porations were likewise included in the list of those fined. This is one of the cases that grew out of the” investigation that was made into the building trades in New Y city follbwing the appointing of the com- mittee to vprobe housing conditions. How long such conditions as were created by the practice indulged in by the tile and building supply dealers who were involved in an effort to prevent competition and to push up prices wou have continued can only be judged by the fact that but for the investigation they would probably be in effect today. The result upon building activitfes and the effect upon the pocketbooks of the buflders who pald for construction work under the conditions imnosed by such a trust can be appreciated and the judge| was entirely justified in condemning, at the time he imposed sentence, the prac- tices of those Who are responsible to considerable dezree for the scarcity of honses and the h building costs. Imposing a jall sentence In cases where there have even heen pleas of guilty ought to have its effects in end- ing such operations in the future. EDITORIAL NOTES.

The black mark left on Belgium by the invaders showed clearly that the Huns under Kaiser William had not changed from the Huns of Alaric. Nowhere in all the world was indignation keener than in the United States, but it was not mere emotion to evaporate, as it often does, into thin air, but it took a substantial turn, for on the 28th day of last July the cornerstone of the new library was laid by President Butler of Columbia univer- sity. The funds for fully restoring the magnificent building were wholly furnish- ed by the "ed States. No worthier thing has been done since the war. Are we not in these days making a great mistake by everlastingly dangling before the eyes of our young people that word “thrift?” Does it not tend to over- develop the sordid in human nature? Of course, nobody Wwants young people to grow up shiftless and inactive. But they ought to be taught, early and late, that the supreme object in life is not the ac- cumulztion of the material. If young men put all their strength into geiting money, and nothing else, they will inva- riably grow up selfish, sordid, narrow, mean, arrogant, tricky and universally conceited. Wealth may be gained, bat nelther happiness nor Tespect, if money is the god they worship. Unless charac- “ter is put above money, moral worth above mental acumen, and % disposition to do something for one's fellows rather than a desire to do one's feliows, then life from every ratlonal standpoint must be a dismal failure. It is just as true in mod- ern America as it was in ancient Judea that “a man’s life consisteth nt in the abundance of the things which he pos- sesseth.” 1t is only the'unthinking and uhfeeling who say ‘“nothing can be said about Thanksgiving.” 1If a person is so dense or unthankful as not to recognize his blessings, then, of course, Thanksgiving is a sealed book. This subject, however, is relleved from staleness by the glorious faet that God’s mercies are eternally new. If it is true that “nature abhors a vac- uum,” it is equally true that God abhors duplicates, because He never made any. We are told that God never made two faces that are exactly alike an than two blades of grass, God m: mould for each successive year and He has poured the year into it smashes the mould. There is not the same quantity or quality of manufactured products or raw materials one year as another. The things that were made in the workshops qf 1921 as well as those that grew out of the ground Were mew things, and as these things contributed to the welfare of man they represent God's goodness, and hence are mercles for which We ought to be thankful. Three full years have passed since the great westward invasion of the Germans was stayed by the allies armies under the asteriy generalship of Foch, and were very reluctantly forced to sign the arti- cles of the awmistice WNch virtually ended the war. Twice since that great and notable day has the anniversary of the event—Nov. 11—been celebrated by the entente allies, local conditions giving color to the celebration. Last year \h world stood facing an ominous b1 cloud that had written all over it the ominous word “Depression.” That cloud has not entirely disappeared from the economic sky, but the light is breaking in along the horizon. This year the Tead- Ing nations have met to discuss the greatest moral question in the world— that of disarmament. Probably no con- ference Was ever hald in Washington that was so undergirded with the pray- ers of a uhited people as this one. The cry of a heart-broken world ought to put agide the game of politics and give us constructive legislation that will event- ually consign the battleship to the scrap heap. We are glad that congressional inquiry | has been made into the theory and prac- tices of the Ku Klug Klan organizatiok. In the reconstruction period an organiza- tion by the same name spread terror throughout the south by its brutal pro- cedure. There are four strong argu- ments against it: 1. It puts empbasis on mob violence. What right has any set of men to determine how the 'law should be administered? Suppose all should do it, amarchy would soon take the place of law. 2. It ten o increase race hatred, Why, should prejudice be stirred up against Catholics. Jews, ne- groes and Asiatics, for if they are citl- zens their political rights are guaranteed by the constitution? 3. It would destroy the solidarity of the American people. Tt is merfectly clear that fature America will represent the various races amalga- mated. 4. It would suppress the funda- mental principle of @emocracy, L e., per- sonal liberty. | No man nor set of men have any right to assault my religion, my nationtlity, my politics, or my freedom of speech. You have settled down of an evening to enjoy, or at least to read the Saturday Evening Post, when the good lady says: “Ephraim, 1 wish youw'd pull out the tacks of the stair carpet, for Mrs. Sulli- van is coming to clean toorrow.” You have learned to step lively when Mrs. Ephraim speaks. That carpet was put down by a man sent from the furniture shop and was paid by the inch. Those tacks are Inch-long, flat-headed epikes, driven whole length into the oak floor. You know now why the man was paid by the inch. The tack nuller is useless, so you go at it with screw driver and sledge hamnmer. You put so much force in pry- ing up the first tack that the head flles off, and the screw driver flies up and as- soclates with your nose. In a fit of anger you exclaim “Holy Smoke!” Then a wave of peace comes over you to think you sald nothing worse, and will not be compelled to résin as a Sunday school teacher, When you are all through with the carpet and two sets of pads, you look so weak and pale that Mrs. Ephraim gives you a glass of home brew. During the period of mid-gutuma, from thp fifteenth of October to the mnid- dle of November, annual meetings of all kinds holds the center of the stage. At this season of the year the weather is usually grand for the most part. It has just enough coolness in it to keep the hot-headed speaker from turning the sessions into an inferno; and enough Warmth to prevent the cold-blooded ora- tor from transforming church or hall in- to an ice chest. To get the full benefit you must go as a non-participant—I mean not as one of the platform speak- ers. That will prevent any needless in- crease of the usual volume of critieism. You are going to be uplifted and thrilled by some of the men and women speakers Who know how to do it. You will bring their messages back to church, Sunday school, club and fraternity: You wil] thus be helping others who were not present : you will also be fixing the ideas more firmly in your own mind by repeat- ing them. It will also do you good to hear others sdeak who cannot do the trick any better than yourself, and you come back with the feeling that you are not the only bit of punkwood in the United States.

This is the unique work of ship destruction as opposed to | ship co on; the salvaging of con- demned naval vessels chiefly for the iron and steel which they will yleld writes Brigham in the Boston Trans- cript. The idea originated in the navy department, and has taken up with the officlals of. the chamber of com- merce, U. 8. A, who have expressed great interest in the plan and are now preparing to lay the subject before their membership for the attention of such capitalists as may be attracted to investment in the new field. The industry is not new in England, where no less than ten ship-breaking-up plants were in operation before the war, Within the last few years, or since the unprecedented damage caus- them apart and would be expert in the uaemotp?k:e tools or machinery to be employed. Moreover wholly aside from the issue presented by the arms con- ference, it is a truism, that if the United States is to have a great mer- chant marine, a necessary corollary of such an institution is the scrapping plant. Getting down a little into the de- tails of the idea, the first'questions naturally would relate to the specal equipment, if any, a scrapping plant would require. The first desireratum, it is said is a bench, not a system of drydocks, as in ship repair. The ship to be destroyed is first beached in shallow water, when the superstruc- ture is taken down by means of acety- lene torches. As the mass grows lighter it is towed or pushed farther inshore until finally all has been reduced. The resultant is, of course, chiefly scrap iron and steel, but in the case of Am- erican naval vessels, steel of the best ed to shipping by the war, no less than 200 more of these scrapping plants have been established in Great Brit- ain—evidence in itself that the busi- ness has been found profitable. ‘The United States naturaily possess- es none of these peculiar plants at the present time, for the simple rea- son that we have been trying to up- build our Navy and not send it to the junk heap, and that the Ameri- can merchant marine until recentl has been so small that the problem was rather to increase it than to destroy the vessels in operation. The idea of establishing these novel plants is the| outcome of a series of events. The present Navy has some ships which are about ready to go into the dis- card, while the so-called disarmament proposal of Secretary Hughes pre- sages the retirement of many more war vessels. The shipping board has a few' ships which are avallable for no one but the junkman, and unless! American business men meet the pre- sent-opportunity, this new and at pre- sent non-competitive industry . abroad. The material fit for salvage will be chiefly engines, boilers, pumps, and all auxiliary machinery, includ- ing electrical, besides the iron, steel and copper of which, in various parts, the ships are composed. The suggestion that this business should be established heré comes at a particularly fortunate time, when un- employment of shipyard workers threa- ten as one of the consequences of the reduction programme. Many of the shipyards are idle today, and more will be when the Government stops con- struction of naval vessels in accord- ance with the pledge given to the con- ference by Secretary Hughes. It has been suggested, even, that the Ameri- cans programme will inevitably lead to the abandonment of many of the navy yards. However that may be, the navy yards are not and cannot be available for use as scrapping plants, if for no other reason that the govern- ment wi cannot be employed upon pfivate work. But the cessation of naval construction will throw many men out of work, and these would make ideal emplovees for the concerns which may be or- ganized to make junk of the ships. It is hardly true that it requires as much one, but it would naturally follow that the men who have built ships would have superior knowledge of how to take 11 part with title to the ships| when it sells them, and that navy yards | ] | certain stores or parts before the buy- skill to take down a ship as to build| quality, which may be either remelted or reshaped by rolling. The pieces are transferred to lighters' by means of the cranes which every well-equipped lighter carries, and then taken to the rallroads for shipment or, in the most fortunate circumstances, to the steel plants which will make them over. The lighters draw very little water, conse- quently it 1s feasable to establish scrapping plants on the banks of riv- ers barely deep enough to float the ships to the shore before they are beached. The plant naturally must not be located at exposed points, but all the important harbors are landlocked. It is important to this proposed un- dertaking that the scrapping plants should be near blast furnace points, that the cost of transporting the ieces by rail be not too great—Bos- understood, figures in the which is available for loca- 0 of most of the great Atlan tic and Paclfic seaports. The prol lem of using the lighters both ways is a practical one, and in this corinec- tion the peculiar availability of a port like Mobile the to that port loaded with coal and iron | ér_steel for' export, and might retain laden with raw material freshly deriv- ed from the condemned vessels which are being broken up—but this is a de~ tail.

The Quincy, Mass., trict may be cited as a case in point fgr the United States before long will do a huge business in the repair of ships, and the scrapping plants may be regarded as natural feeders for vards where vessels are constructed or repaired. It may be needless to say that only steel ve: are contemplated in the new scrapping scheme, as not enough metal could be derived from wooden vessels to pay, while the shaped wood entering into the construction of the wooden hulls might cost too much to reshape. As to profits in the proposed business, they evidently would be sat- actory. Steel is selling af something lighters would come| it may be said, is now engaged | like+§19 a ton; and the British recent- ly sold 110 ships at an average price of §10 a ton.

If human ears were built this way it would be possible to read characters almost completely and inevitably by the sound of the voice alone. As it is, it is surprising how far the train- ed ear can go in this direction. ‘Take, for instance the loud voice, the general indications of which were discussed in a former article. It is much like and yet quite different from what is called the “strong voice.” The one has a harsh, strident quality. The other has not. And yet the other may carry just as far, and be heard just as distinctly. Again, you can take the strong voice and subdivide it. There is, for instance, the low, strong voice and the full, round, strong voice. This doesn’t mean the difference between a bass and a baritone. Either may pos- sess either a low or a full-toned voice. The low, strong voice indicates in many respects the same thing sas the loud, harsh voice. That is to say, it reveals a person of energy, both men- tally and physically, primarily a . ‘“do- " usually strong muscular and ath- in short, a typical “field lead- But it also indicates a keencr senge of differentiation than is possess- ed by the average “rough-and-ready’ person, and a greater measure of self- discipline and control. Monday—The Full, Round, Strong Voice letis Famous Trials = THE GOWRIE PLOT One of the unique cases of Scotch history and one that is still enshrouded in the veil of mystery, is that of the Gowrie plot. On the 5th of August 1600, the King started for a hunt Falkland Palace. Shortly after se out he was met by Alexander Ruthvc ‘the younger brother of the Earl « Gowrie. Ruthven stole up to the mor arch with a great air of secrecy anc told him in whispers of a mystery th: had come to his notice, that of a m burying a pot of money in‘a field followed and captured the mam, anc Thinking the matter so unusual, he had he was at that moment lodged in the Gowrle house in Perth. He begged the King to come and se2 him. ‘The King as one would suppose, was not averse to coin of the realm, wheth- er begged borrowed or stolen, and a cepted the invitation of Ruthven. Tel ing nothing to his“tollowers, he order- ed Mar, Lennex and about 20 other and his followers were forced to make an undignified escape along the mud. dy banks of the river. After many preliminary summons and meetings, the trial proper began before the Parliament on Nov. 15. As Alexander was dead, there was only one witness of the crime remaining, besides the King himself, the man in armor. Andrew Henderson, chamberlain to the late Earl of Gowrie, was the man in armor. He deposed that he went with Alexander Ruthven to Falkiand and was with him when the tale was told of Spanish gold. He was sent back to Gowrie Castle in advance to tell the Earl to prepare for His Majesty's coming. Upon arrival, the Earl asked how many noblemen were with the king, and he answered, “none but my Lord Duke” (Lennox) Gowrie then ordered him to put on a coal of mail and plate-sleeves. And when asking the reason was told some- thing about a highlandman who was to be arrested. After the arrival of James, he was asked for the key of the galiery chamber and was then tak- en aside and told by the Earl to go with Alexander to the gallery cham- ber. When up there he was, as he then thought, locked in the “round” of the gallery for no reason whatever. By his evidence, Henderson betrayed the reason fer the plot. Wheénever the King and Aiexander entered the tow- my death. In his evidence the man in ar- mor revealed the whole scheme to as- accused of killing his fathér. The Pariiament then pronounced a sentence, declaring the brothers, Barl of Gowrie and Alexander Ruthven, to have committed manifest treason and ordered the name, memory and dignity of the dead men to be extinguished. Their bodies were to be hung, drawn and quartered in Edinburgh, and it " FOUR DOCTORS CAVE HER UP Through aNeighbor’s Advice This Woman V‘las Restored to Health by Lydia_ E.
