AFTER THE AVAR
A "government trade expert''' is
c: edited by the Washington, cor
respondent of the "New York Tri
bune with making some predictions
on results to> 'follow to trade and
industry in this country after peace,
which are out o£ line with most of
the predictions on thl^s 'subject.
Roughly, these predictions are
th-.t the close o*-the war will seri
ously cripple all of 'the manufac
turing industries of the United
St;'Us. without lowering the prices
cf food. Rather, he predicts
that while factories may close
*lo . a or curtail production, • "food
prices will continue to soar.
He predicts that those conditions
will come through aa abnormally in
creased demand for foodstuffs from
Eiiropp, and a complete cessation of
the demand -for our manufactured
.products. This demand for food
stuffs of our production wUl con
tinue on'y, of course, until Kurope
leadjusts its own production to the
normal conditions preceding -the
war. I
He sees, on the other hand, -am
enormously "increased efficiency in
European labor as a result of
the uor';-done under war conditions
and a l.trge 'increase "l_kewise in
the laijor forces, through the war
trainii g of women and children,' as
v • 11 as men below ordinary labor
s'ar.dardE, in the mills and -factor
ies. The men in -the trenches,
wac have escapd mutilation, will
return in far better physical condi
tion -an 1 in a higher state - of
physical and mental efficiency, than
♦ hey were when called into the
field.' , 'it V? :*
f rom the 'highest level iu its
his■ ory he predicts that the Am
er;.-an export trade in manufactur
ed goods will shrink to an unpre
c^lently low figure, due 'to the
cheaper labor -and increased effi
ciency of Europe. 1 '
The one thing possible to. protect
this country from the dangers
thi'3 'forecast, 'this government ex
re: t does not mention. It is the
(retention for'our own labor and
our manufacturers of the Ameri
can market, Jhe supplying ofi whic
al"ne is a sufficient task to ■ keep
the greater part of the -labor of
♦his country • employed, provided
that labor does net have to face
;;t home the fierce competition' of
the new and more-highly efficient
Europe. It -means protection. —

CARE WITH ELECTRICITY.
Extreme Caution Should Be Used In
Handling AH Fixtures.
"Electricians tlilnk nothing of touch
Ins with their fingers a 110 volt or 220
volt A. C. or 1>. C. switch to ascertain
whether it is alive or not," says the
Electrical Exi>eiimciiter. "On the oth
er hand it is claimed in a number of
authentic cases on record that 110
volts, such as i* u-«ed for ordinary light
ing circuits, has suiBced to produce fa
tal results to n human being. There
fore it behooves eveiy one to take the
utmost care in handling electrical, ap
paratus of any nature, no matter
whether It is a small toaster or an In
nocent looking electric light switch of
the push button variety.
"A good point to keep In mind would
be to exercise extreme caution In ma
nipulating all lamp sockets or switches
during or directly after a severe storm,
which may have W»>\vn down high volt
age wires so as to cause tliSn to drop
across low tension wires supplying
house circuits.
"Those having electric lights in their
homes should always exercise the
greatest care in manipulating any of
the devices connected to such service.
In ihe bathroom especially they should
never touch the socket or wall switch
while standing in the bathtub »r with
wet feet on a floor where there is any
water, as these accidents happen at the
most unexpected moment They are
practically immune from danger if they
would Just take the trouble to see that
they always stand on a dry floor."

Permit me to Introduce myself. Tou

And yet you do not know me. Ton
have talked with me on long walks
and In the still watches of the night
Tou have flattered me and cajoled me
and pleaded with me and condoned
me. And yet you do not know me.
The worst of this Is that you will
never know me. You will always go
on believing that you do. This is your
fate.

"What was the date of Columbus'
discovery of America?" an examiner
asked.
"Fourteen ninety-two," the bright
boy replied Instantly.
"ItigUt," said the examiner. "And
why was that date important for you

I "Because 1 knew you would be sure
I to ask It." the bright boy said.—New

An O'fice Cushion.
If those of you who hare a husband
or brother or sister working in an of

a flat cushion for the chair of the
worker you will find that it saves the
trousers or skirt from getting shiny
and also helps to retain the garment

REFUSED TO OBEY.
Major Butler Carried His Obstinacy
Right Into His Coffin.
An amusing incident of camp life in
Revolutionary days Is related by the
author of "Romance and Realism of
the Southern Gulf Coast."
In 179S the first United States
troops that came down the Mississippi
were quartered at Fcrt Adams. <ien
era! Wilkinson by some accident got
his cue burned oil'. Angry at the
laugh which followed bis mishap, he
nest day issued an order forbidding
any officer to appear with a cue.
Obedient to orders, nil the officers but
Major Butler cut off their cues.
"The vain old prig." said the major.
"I'll see him banged before I cut off
my cue to gratify him!" And be bald
ly appeared without changing the style
of his hairdresslng.
The major was put under arrest, but
he declared obstinately that he would
spend the rest of his life In prison be
fore he would comply with such a silly
command. Soon afterward he was tab
eu very ill. and, realizing that be was
at the point of death, he gave Instruc
tions for his burial, which he knew
would be witnessed by the whole com
mand.
"Bore a hole." said he. "through the
bottom of my coffin, right under my
head, and !«t my cue come throngM it.
that the old general may see that even
when dead I refuse to obey his order."
And these directions were literally
carried out. '
He Hadn't Forgotten.
"George. 1*11 bet you're forgotten
trhat day this Is."
"No; I haven't. It's either our wee
ding day or your birthday. It always
is one or the other when you want to
make a bet like that."-Detroit Free
Press.
The Most Diffioult.
"What do you consider the moat dif
ficult feat In the world?"
"Well, there may be things hnrder
than proving to your wife that she is
extravagant, but I don't know what
they are."—I-lfe.
