The Passing Sholp

DO WE HEAR A SECOND? Congressman Bill Mason, the greasy misfit and blatherskite, who misrepresents the great state of Illinois, was called a traitor yesterday on the floor of the house by Congressman Hastings of Oklahoma. We call Illinois a great state advisedly, for there Is a question about its being a great state when it sends to congress such creatures as Mason to disgrace it, and has such mayors as Thompson to make its metropolis blush. We wouldn't just call Mason a traitor. What we would call him wouldn't look well in print. If it wasn't too hard on Emma Goldman we would put him in Goldman's class, for Emma at least is clean and is very careful when she eats her eggs in the morning. Mason is going to stop American soldiers from going abroad to fight the enemy of this country. He thinks he can do a whole lot to help his friend, the kaiser, and it doubtless tickles the latter to death to find -the little pot-bellied congressman God 6ave the mark moving heaven and earth to cause dissension In our national legislative bodyWhat this country has ever done to have this flannel-mouthed cuss foisted upon it by Illinois, nobody but Illinois knows, but if there is a gang of kidnapers in Washington they ought to take Mason by the ears and the scruff of his pants and souse him in the Potomac behind a motor boat for several hours and then drop him off the top of the Washington monument-

THEY ALSO SERVE WHO GIVE. It Is all too true that "they also serve who stay behind nd work-" Let U3 adapt it differently and just a3 truly, "They also serv? who stay behind and give " Let us listen to a woman who ha3 6tayed behind and besides giving three son3, she is giving other things. When you hear her perhaps you won't be so reluctant to give to the great Red Cross work. "The Red Cross," said the mother of three young men who have just put on the khaki, "is my training camp. It Is for me my military duty. It gives me a chance to be a soldier with my sons. "Sometimes a company from the armory or a band of boy scouts marching with fife and drums passes my window. Looking at .them I see in my' mind all our boys at all our training camps, learning their new lessens, testing their endurance. And we mothers can't take care of them. They've gone into their man's world. "I think I can imagine some of the emotions that are being born in them- ' They are so young; their eyes are misty, sometimes, as they march- Already they must look sometimes into the soldiers' immortality, at guard mount tap3 on last Memorial day. "It is hard to be a woman. Yet if it were not for me these three cleareyed boys, with their straight backs, their flushed, damp faces, and their passionate young idealism,, would not exist. Because of me there are three soldiers serving the colors. "It is glorious to be a woman. "I take up my sewing box and sew a little Red Cross on the jacket of the pajamas I am making and wonder who will wear it and what the Red Cross will make him think of. Curiously, even if my boys are in the hospital to which this garment goes, I want it to be worn by some other mother's boy; and I want my boys to wear the things made by some other mother. Some way it seems to me to make our motherhood" go deeper. "Perhaps it will be wrn by some black man, or some black boy from Africa, who will think it is funny; perhaps some young French officer; perhaps rome Italian peasant like my iceman; perhaps some wounded German prisoner; and I have the privilege of giving to the soldiers of the world. "It glorif.e3 the material I work with. Thrillingly it glorifies money. Think? One cent buy3 iodine to disinfect a wound! If the iodine shouldn't be there But it won't fail- Mothers can and fathers won't let it fail, now they know."

WILL THE FRENCH REVOLUTION BE Rf PEAT ED? Disconcerting rumors come out of Russia. What the future holds for the Mu?covy realm no one knows, but meagre dispatches show symptoms of grave internal troubles. There are too many stories of soldiers having councils to oust their officers. There are tales of wild-eyed demands of peasants that lands be divided. Perhaps much of the work is from German propaganda, but In a country where education has been so restrained the ignorant masses will be open to all sorts of beliefs. It will not be surprising if the near future brings horrible news from Russia of anarchy, of excesses that savor of the French revolution. Carlyle when he wrote the" history of that sinister event perhaps thought such bloody cataclysms were ended for all time, but a more dire period may await the world1 in the r.f-w democracy.

THE BIG AVAR BABY. After all i3 said about the profits of American industries during the war period, it is not the Du Pont company, nor the Standard Oil, nor the Armours, nor the Swifts who are taking in money in bulky figures. Neither is it the shrapnel concerns, the military alcohol corporations and by no means is it Charles Schwab's Bethlehem Steel Corporation. It is the United States Steel CorporationThese figures of net profits for 1916 show how the money is distributed: Atlas Powder Co. j 2.933,790 1 S. Industrial Alcohol . 4,884.587 American Woolen Co. ' E. 863. 819 -Baldwin Locomotive 6,982,517 American Locomotive. 10,769,429 International Nickel 11.74S.269 Lackawanna Steel 12.218,234 General Chemical 12,286.826 Hercules Powder 16.658,873 Armour & Co. 20.100,000 Phelps Dodge Corp. (owners of Remington Fire Arms riants) 21,974.263 Bethlehem Steel Co. 43.953,968 E. I. Du Pont De Nemours Towder Co. 82.107.693 United States Steel 271,531,730 The combined profits of all the other companies mentioned do not begin to equal those of the Steel Corporation, and the outlook is, Judging from the first quarter proflt3, that the concern will earn perhaps one-third to one-half more than it did last year.

THE WORLD BECOMING A REPUBLIC. When our country became a republic in 1776 the free parts of the world were illustrated by a few white splotches on a black and white map. In America it showed a tiny fringe along the Atlantic tv3t the rest of what is now the United States was then dominated by European powers. There were also the tiny republics of Venice, Genoa and the Netherlands and the isolated free cities of Bremen, Lubeck and Hamburg. The rest of the world was under no free government. Today opposite conditions ensue. North and South America are nearly a!I represented by white, the grayish color denotes Canada nominally subject to a monarch but as free as any country, while a few colonies in Central and South America belong to practically free European countries. In Europe the black spots are few. France and Russia, republics; England, almost as free as we are, and the constitutional monarchies like Norway and Sweden loom up against tho black spot3 represented by Germany, Austria. Bulgaria and Turkey. In vast Asia and in Africa there are few black spots and none in Australasia. The world no longer has use for despots.

THE RISE OF IRON AND STEEL. It is in a fairyland of prices that iron, steel and allied products now find themselves. Where the 1916 prices were higher than most optimists had ever wished to see them there is no comparison of yesteryear's schedules with the soaring quotations of today. Take Bessemer iron, which was 'quoted at $15 and lower per ton in 1915, at $21.95 this time a year ago and $43.95 during the first part of this month. Without doubt it will soar higher. Bessemer steel billets, which brought $14-90 in 1914 and $19.50 in 1915, jumped to $69 in May, 1916, and now command $80 a ton, with buyers standing in line. Bessemer rails quoted at $28 early last year now stand at $3S. Open-hearth rails are $40. Wire rods, $46.25 in 1915, $60 In May, 1916, now bring $S5. while a year's time has seen open-hearth billet3 leap from $50 to $75. Notable increases have been made in black and galvanized sheets and tin plate. Black sheets quoted at 2.85 cents a pound a year ago now stands at 6.50 cents, and there's reason for an Increase in the canned goods you buy for tin plate has jumped from $3.75 rer 100-pound box early last year to $S today. Structural steel has gone up handsomely. The golden prosperity of the steel and iron trade is shown by the earnings of its larger companies-' Earning $3,515,819 in 1915, the Republic Iron and Steel company took in $14,7S9,163 profits In 1916: the Crucible Steel company earned $8,073,750 In 1915 and $13,223,655 in 1916. Earnings of the United States Steel t corporation in 1915 were $75,833,833, and $271,531,770 in 1916. Similar gains were reported by other companies, and if the gold that flowed in during the first quarter of 1917 is any criterion of what"lh? year's earnings will be they will surpass the wildest dreams of the most rosy-minded prophets.

MARRIED MEN AND THE AVAR. As for all you married men between 21 and 45 can't tell what this war is going to lead to, so you had better begin preparing just as if you have to go a year or two hence. They never dreamed they would have to go out in England, but they did. It will be better in the long run to begin dreaming of it at once.

When the Auctioneer took the block and sang a song something like this: "Twenty-fiye I'm bid Who'll make a half, 'Fifty cents' thank You sir; Who'll Makes it seventy-five and etc." You enjoyed it, we all did. Of course times have changed since father was a bo more modem methods are used. An auction sale today is really educational. The auctioneer nowadays tells you of the quality of merchandise, talks price with you, tells you what the article formerly sold for, and then permits you to set your own price. He will also tell you a corking good story now and then. Mr. Gates thought that some folks would enjoy hearing him imitate the Auctioneer of fifty years ago. COME IN SEATS FOR ALL A BEAUTIFUL GIFT FREE. ASK MR. GATES ABOUT IT. 7:30 IS THE TIME.

MISSES' DRESS By Anabel Worthington,

Everybody is wearing coat dresses this season, and the majority of them are so simple that any woman may make one successfully. No. S341 is in one pice from shoulder to hem and closes at the centre front. If the dresa is made in Tash material it is a good idea to finish It so that it may he opened out flat for laundering. The oddly shaped pockets are one of the newest features, carrying ut the color scheme of the other trimmings. The Quaker collar is very effective, but it may be omitted if a house dress is desired. Short sleeves are suitable for this style of dress, but the lon.j ones are better for a street dress. Gingha m is the most fashionable wash material this summer, and it is being used for afternoon dresses as well as for morning, a pretty plaid gingham will be just the thing for this little dress. The dress pattern, S341, is cut in sizes 14 to 20 years. Width at the lower edge of skirt is 24 yards. The 16 year sue requires 4 yards 30 inch material, with I yard 36 inch contrasting material. To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to the office of this publication.
