QUIET ZONES.

A reader of the Tribune who says flis wffe is ill in one' of the hospitals Rants' to know If something cannot be J«id about the nerve-racking noise -treated by speeding automobiles passing the hospitals? ^rvlt should not be necessary, but if a reminder in this form can be effective

S

.the Tribune gladly contributes it. 'f The hospitals ate on paved streets j|jid at a distance from the business &ction that temj-ts the automobile 4jpeeder. He feels himself remote qnough not to be hampered by traffic

Utiles, and, after getting through the ijtiore congested districts, takes the open way past the hospital to let dut ljils machine, and that means noise. i Drivers of automobiles passing the Hospitals shou'd have regard for such decencies as the case sjggests, and those who do not should get a.rfeminder trom an officer. Repeated offenses ^hould get more. Some may change their ways from this admonition, but £he Tribune refers the matter to the police for swift results. No invalid should have his sick days disturbed or convalescence impaired by -such ^eartless nuisance.

i SAVINGS BANKS

The president of an eastern. savings bank has an article in one of .the curJjeht magazines urging new duties, on

Je banker in each community. He points to the manner in which the ljstnker should be the financial coun-

1

cftlpr of his people with Muluai benefit. Ipte makes the point that whenever any particular line of business succeeds, promoters promptly appear with-anit-.tractive prospectus of -a ncW concern theuame kind, the stOcir .which &»ey ofl'er for sale on promises, of .al.luring profits. If the oil .business, is profitable, new oil companies-, spring yp. If fortunes are made in copper, silver Or gold mines, or in the manufacture •df automobiles, rubber tires, or in real estate, or In the manufacture of any i&ecialty, promoters promptly organize tijompanle^ of a similar character and devise ^/schemes to coax the goldenstream out from the pockets of the Credulous.

Nor are these all the sharpers. Not infrequently those who hav* been connected with some unusually successful enterprise, perhaps in a minor way, or perhaps in ^an important capacity, conjqeivj the idea that they can do as well tt? any one else and that if they had the necessary capital they could,prove 1^ Accprdingly they organize a comset forth the prospects in glitter in^ terms, sincerely believing all that they say, and invite public subscripttons to the stock of the new corporations. Nine times out of ten these prove unsuccessful because thost. who have qjlready occupied the field and established their business are bound to meet vfHflf new competitor and tc do their to make his competition impos-

BW5le. How prevalent the habit is is shown by the fact that Leslie's "Weekly i&vJdWs a book tha* has beer, published containing a list of corporations that

S

have' been established and that have gone out of business. It embraces the names of thousands of oil, mining, plantation, real estate and similar concerns—all complete failures.

RALLYING THE GEORGES.

George Ade and nis friends fiave organized a society known as S. P. C. S. C. P. 6.—that is, the Society for the Prevention of Calling Sleeping, Car Porters Gjeorge." This does not proceed from an irritability of temper at the repetition of the sobriquet, catch-, ing enough when first invented and until it had growr wofully stale, but because George, being a cognomen worn by right of christening, deserves better than to be made a colloquialism, little better than slang, falling into travelers' cant.

All the Georges are urged tb rally to the preservation of the dignity of their surname. Besides George Ade, the membership has enlisted George Cohan, George Perkinu George Nattkemper, George Holloway, and others. Any George is eligible.

In this effort to shift the name, howe.vert we see a menace to some other. If sleeping car travelers insist on an address more intimate than "Porter," which has largely become a feminism, and are discourage-! from calling hini "George," th-?y wih take up with "Joe" or "Sam" or "Jim" or "Ed" and who knows what.

TEDDY AND SOCIALISM.

Colonel Roosevelt when he wants to refute some doctrine at one fell swoop, as it were, calls it "socialistic" and lets it go at that This kind of argument hardly gets as far now days as It did in days gone by. All this brings up the. question ro often asked as to why the socialist party, with alJ its claims to being organized for the uplift and betterment of the" human race, does not grow in leaps and bounds as we might suppose a party^ with such generous iclaimB should grow. Perhaps it is because they deal too much with theories instead of planning to ameliorate condition.

The socialist is prone to give courses "of lecture, in order to prove that man sprung from the m-nkev, jvhlch is very Uncertain because, when" a monkey picks a cpcoatiut he proceeds to sit down and enjoy it and Pastes no time whatever in trying to prove that he, in turn evolved from

A SLOW DRIVE.

Saturday's fyar dispatches credited to General Haig, the coigmander of the allies, the statement that if it required a wall of artiHery 'rom Somme to the sea to rout the Germans, such a wall would be established if it even required so many .guns 'hat their limbers touched. Th is may. be the final British determination, bv}t .from ail reports the London war office is disappointed in the gain of ground n the present drive.

For the present the French and. British leaders are probablj not looking far enough ahead to hope for the speedy retirement of the Germans from France. But it is certain that if the three cities of St. Quentin, Cambrai and Douai qan be taken the German dpmination in Picardy, Artois and Flanders will be at ah end.

It is well, therefore, to have an understanding of just what the drive is driving at. It may then, at the end, be classed as a success of failure. Germany, though she has gained much ground on e'ther side of the Meuse,

must count her Verdun drive a failure to date. If the French and British gain twice as much ground along the Somme and stop short of St. Quentin they, too, will have failed. This presupposes that the main attack will not immediately be shifted further -north. The fighting at the Somme appears far too severe to be regarded .as a feint.

News of the capture of Peronne will, therefore, indicate that the allies are on the way to definite victory. Peronne alone stands betweeh the allies and St. Quentin, and on St. Quentin depends the fate of the "unredeemed" region of northern France. Reports of French or British successes which do not indicate a steady advance to Peronne must, for the immediate future and until the main attack is shifted to some mOre northern point, be considered of small moment.

According to astrology this is an unfavorable day. Jupiter, Mercury, the sun and Saturn are all adverse. Venus is in benefic aspect during the early hours, but later changes to evil sway.

The reign of Venus is read as indicating the reign of romance and sentiment in the world of art as well as in social life. Both n*en and women will be unusually susceptible and they should be exceedingly cautious,, the seers warn, as scandals, and divorces are foreshadowed in an. unprecedented number.

The impulse to speculate may be strong today, but it.should be overcome as it will bring misfortune.

Publishers of newspapers and periodicals, who will benefit greatly before the end of the year, should be cautious today.

There is a forbidding sign for all written agreements, whether they be leases or contracts.

An accident in a subway or mine is foreshadowed. This may be attended by great los^ of life.

With the dawn of the time when the value of children vyjU be appreciated as never before, the stars foretell thar the state will assume a new attitude of guardianship oyer the rich as well as the.poor.

It is repeatedly prophesied by the seers that the only danger this country will have to face within the .next few years will come from the pacific coast.

Mexico represents grave diplomatic problems and even a long campaign, astrologers forecast, but there will be nothing really alarming in the shape of war.

Persons whose birthdate it is have a pleasant augury, fqr the ..year. With vigilance business affairs will prosper, Journeys will be unlucky.

Children born, on thi,s day probably will be hard workers and altogether reliable. These subjects of Cancer often have unusual talent for scientific research.

TELEPHONE CORD INSIDE.

A brand-new feature of the telephone instrument recently patented makes use of the base of ,the instrument as a mean? of disposing of the cord by which .the receiver is connected. This i ord is often u source of nuisance. Occasionally it is the cause of serious damage to the installation, for the cord becomes entangled in one's clpthing and in this manner it is dashed to the floor and the efficiency of the instrument impaired.

This new way of disposing of the cord is to reel it up on a spring roller in the bottom of the stand, which is made slightly larger in order to accommodate the necesaary mechanism. The cord is readily drawn out as far as desired when one wants to make a call and is drawn back on the springpropelled roller hidden in the stand.

Sunday School Lesson for July 9

BY BEV. L. O. RICHMOND, CENTRAL PRKSIIYTEKIAIV CHI'RCH

Paul was thankful for the christian people at Thessalonika. He was right People are more to be thankful for than things. Friends are better than 'forms. The wealth of a community consists not in factories or streets, tut in christian people. Today, as in olden times, ten righteous people are the saving and elevating factor in the life of a city. The churches are as important as schools and christian people are the great cause for thankfulness. The three characteristics of these people, which are still necessary today, were "works of faith," "labors of love" and "patience of hope." These things are needed today. Men and women must have faith in themselves, in their fellow citizens and in God, and that faith must express itself in work. We must have "labors of love." If we love not God and our city and our fellow men we can do nothing worthy nor will be Anything worthy. We inust have patience and continue to hope, even though the night be dark. The christian alone can be the true o.ptimist.

HAN [ROM EGYPT MAY ENTER ROSE INSTITUTE

Inquiries Received to Date Indicate That Enrollment At Fall Term Will Set New Record.

That the freshman class at the Rose Polytechnic institute next fall will be the largest in the history of the) school is indicated even at this early date by the large number of enrollments and the numerous inquiries received each day regarding the requirements for entrance.

The usual enrollment .time has not yet opened, 'out nevertheless there have been between fifteen and twenty enrollments, wit.h the entrance fees already paid, fH.oi'. ed at the institution. Prof. John Wiiite, who is in charge ot the school this .summer in the absence of President (Jarl L. Mees, reports that inquiries have b^ien received from California, Massachusetts, Texas, Washington and other states.

Other letters from probable entrants at Rose were received, one from a man in Egypt and another from a man in Brazil, South America. There have been other students at Rose from South America, but this is the first time inquiries have come from the orient.

High School Boys Enter.

As a rough estimate of the number of local high school graduates who will enter Rose this fall, a report was taken from the two principals Who before graduation took the names of the boys, who would go to Rose. Principal T. W. Records, of Garfield, said about fifteen members of this year's class signified their intention of entering Rose, while Principal O. E. Connor, of Wiley, said close to twenty of the 1916 class would go to the. local institute.

Following the ending of the two extra weeks of shop work at Rose by the freshmen after the close of school the men in charge have been crowded to the limit with outside commercial work. Patterns and even the rough frames of different machines are composed at the Rose shops, and a number of inventors have taken their products there to be finished. One of these inventions is a hay baler brought to Rose by an inventor from Illinois. Another is an automatic gasoline dispenser, for use on automobiles.

William E. Lamb, night clerk at the Terre H^ute house, who was recently transferred from the Dennison hotel in Indianapolis, where he had been stationed for several years, tells how he earned his first dollar. When a small boy about ten years old his father, a well-to-do farmer of Wayne county, Indiana, gave him the smallest of a lot oi' pigs.

Mr. Lambs tells how he nursed and cared for the baby pig and day by day could almpst see it grow. After feeding the pig regularly for several weeks the pig got to be of considerable size and then Mr. Lamb sold it back to his 'father'for the whole sum of $1.

Later on Mr. Lamb- was given charge of the farm which he managed very successfully, but this did not seem to be the life for him. Leaving his country home Mr. Lamb went to Birmingham, Ala., where he got his first taste of hotel work, this being more than twenty-five, years ago. Mr. Lamb was at this place for more than five years. After leaving Alabama he went from one large .city to the other and for the last few years has been with some pf the leading hotels of the country. WILLIAM E. LAMB.

Today more money is being made here than ever before because the price of oil is $1.55 per barrel at the well—the highest it has ever been and because the demand far exceeds the supply.

Now is the ^ime to get an interest in this wonderful field and share in this $12,000,000 per month pouring from these oil fields.

We nOw offer you an opportunity to do this. We have no stock to sell We own a big property in the Famous Bald Hill Pool that is surrounded by hundreds of producing oil and gas wells worth millions of dollars.

YOU CAN SECURE AN INTEREST IN THIS VALUABLE PROPERTY and then share in all the profits from all the wells we drill on it. We want to fully develop this property and drill it full of wells as fast as we can.

This property is now divided into tracts. You canbuy from one to ten of these tracts. The tracts are $30 each, but you only pay $15 on each tract. The remaining $15 is later deducted from your earnings after you have received $30 in cash dividends on each tract. In this way we guarantee to return to you in cash, double the amount you invested, before we receive the last half of the purchase price.

"This company has deposited $1,000 in cash with us guaranteeing to any purchaser the refund of all money paid, together with the round-trip railroad fare and all traveling expenses if their proposition is not as represented.

"We have had considerable and very satisfactory dealings with the officers of this company during the past ten years. They have been successful in the oil business. I am familiar with their property and believe it a good investment."

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 8—In these days when Bill Flynn, George Perkins of the Harvester trust, and a few professional leaders are trying to drive the progressive vote under the reactionary flag to the inspiring tune of "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here," there are some reflections that might well be made to aid the honest progressive citizen to reach a decision as to his patriotic duty in the coming campaign.

There is much talk just now of the republican reactionaries capturing congress. Without discussing the probabilities of that event it may be of interest to honest progressives to know precisely what that would mean.

In the house of representatives it would mean the restoration to power of the reactionary regime that had much to do with driving the progressives in the republican party out. A new man, unless he is distinguished beyond the ordinary, is compelled on entering the house to take a back seat. The places of power always go to the old timers. In the event of a majority for the republicans in the house Joe Cannon would probably return to the speakership. Mr. Mann who is a moss back reactionary and prone to sar-

How I Earned My First Dollar

Three New Oil Millionaires of Oklahoma

ROY M. JOHNSON, Printer EDWIN GALT, Clerk A. T. McGEE, Carpenter

These three Oklahomans recently organized the Coline Oil Company each man investing $175. One a printer, another a clerk, and a third a carpenter

they determined to seek their .fortunes in the oil business. They have just sold one of their Oil properties to the Santa Fe Railroad Company for $1,000,000 cash, thus cleaning up a cool million dollars in less than two years' time and on an investment of only $175 each.

These men did what thousands of other men have done and are today doing in the prolific Oklahoma Fields. Oklahoma has the world's greatest oil fields and far mors fortunes have been made here than in any other field in the world. More fortunes have been made by small investors in these fields the past few years than have ever been made«in any other business. i

casms at the expense of the progressives would be placed in that event at the head of the ways and means committee. On that committee would be Mr. Fordney of Michigan, the grand high priest of reaction. Indeed every position of consequence and power would fall to the reactionaries.

But in the senate the change would be jrreat indeed. The progressive will be sunprised perhaps, considering Mr. Roose^lt's abject surrender and attempt to "deliver" at the behest of Perkins of the Harvester trust, to know something of the tone of the senate that would result. By virtue of seniority, the president pro tempore of the senate would fall to Senator Gallenger. This is the stand pat senator who was so bitterly denounced as a tool of reactionary business by Roosevelt in numerous speeches in New England in 1912. The ranking republican member of the finance committee which would have charge of the makI ing of a new tariff is Boise Penrose whoge political character is such as to require no comment. Anyone in doubt as to the character of Penrose is respectfully referred to in Mr.

Roosevelt's speeches in 1912 and 1914. Who Would Control. A million dollars was spent by the favored interests to re-elect Penrose to the senate two years ago—and because these interests want him at the head of the finance committee when a tariff law is made. They know it would be made "right." The next important committee is the appropriation committee and the ranking republican member who would become the chairman is Senator Warren of Wyoming. This is the Warren whose interest in schedule K, the great scandal of the republican party has been accounted for by the late Senator Dolliver and by Senator Lafollette on the ground that he is a great sheep man. Indeed Dolliver with characteristic felicity in characterization pave him the title that won't down "the greatest shepherd since Abraham." He is a very bigoted stand patter—a type that has no earthly use for the ordinary man and honestly thinks that governments are instituted among men for the purpose of putting money in the purses of a favored few.

He has never been able to find the words with which to adequately express his contempt for the progressives. The chairmanship of the committee on banking and currency would fall to Kanute Nelson who shares heartily in the views of Warren and Penrose. The chairmanship, of the committee on military affairs would return to Senator DuPont—which would be as it was before, a public

You can buy one tract at $2 a month, 5 tra'cts at $10 a month and 10 tracts at $20 a month. Discount for all cash. You will absolutely own the" land you buy and it may bring you a fortune. Besides owning your land and getting a deed to it, you will also .get your share of the profits from, our oil and gas wells. No risk of being frozen out by larger stockholders: No salaries, to officers. Oklahoma laws require sworn reports of all oil produced and price received thus guaranteeing you all your profits.

We positively guarantee to drill on this property. Oil and gas pipe lines are already close to our property ready to make our production. Five or ten of these tracts may make you independent for life.

This is j^our opportunity to join with successful experiehced and reliable oil men who have developed' Other properties and who know and understand the oil business.

Get out of the rut. Improve your condition.1 Put your money to work for you. Do like the big bankers and rich financiers are now doing—INVEST IN !a. GOOD OIL PROPERTY. Get interested in this most' profitable business as soon as you can. Saving alone. will never make you rich. Investments are whai count. They are the great fortune builders.

scandal. In few countries of the world would any political organization "dare effront the opinion of mankind by placing at the head of a military -committee the man whose firm furnkshes the army with ammunition. lit audition to this phase of the situation, DuPont is perhaps the greatest aristocrat in the senate, a thorough silk stocking,, who does not like and cannot bear the odor of the masses.

Next Cornes Lodge.

The chairmanship of the important committee on foreign relations would fall to that last word in reactionary politics Henry Cabo't «Lodge, who 'devoted the two years between 1912 and 1914 to making speeches pver the country in^ an attempt to show that the progressive platform, of 11)12 was a treaty of friendship with anarchy.. He is a thorough aristocrat in the rather offensive sense. When he. first entered the senate he becanje rather, offensive to some of the senators,. wtho had sprung from the masses by'h{s,.reiterated public assertions that, a man cannot be a gentleman.or-an educated person unless he had four or flve.gencratlons of college graduates behind him. This silly idea that Shakespeare, Lincoln, Jackson and most of the great geniuses of the world were quite impossible, you know, finally, got upon the nerves of Senator Turpie of Indiana, than whom there never lived a greater master of English, or of satire, or sarcasm, and he delivered a satirical phillipic against Lodge that is a classic in that line. Lodge has not mentioned ancestors since.

The judiciary committee, which is cl vast importance, wotild fall to Senator Clark of Wyoming, a, determined stand patter, a corporation maiij with a profound Contempt for progressive principles whether spelled with a little or a big P. It was Clark who-lead i ho fight against the confirmation. of Brandeis on the ground that the big corporations should own the supreme court and that it should be packed with men like Hughes and should n|t contain or be contaminated by a brilliant la!wyer who. preferred to serve ihe interests of the people generally. I'rogressiye legislation would run into a blind alloy when referred to Clark's committee, believe me. And a republican victory would place the hero of the Titanic hearings, William Alden Smith a| the head of the committee on naval affairs. He prides himself on being as reactionary as Joe Cannori He is the man who stoocjl, |n his place in the senate and on his responsibility as a senator audaciously declared that the. Underwo'od bill wa^ ruining the automobile factories of Detroit. The fact that the government had statistics showing that they were paying enor-' mous, almost unthinkable dividends, did not deter the irrepressible William Alden. He "seen his .duty as a stand-patter and he done it.'**

And the chairmanship of the committee on public lands would fall to Heed Smoot, the Mormon leader and the floor leader of the reactionaries.
