The Old And The New Year. The year just ended will loom large before the eyes of the historian. The great war is of course its greatest event. What effect the slaughter of thousands of men will have on the future of the race, what new ;eographical lines will be established when peace 3 declared, are questions which we cannot ansver. . - ' : The great military campaigns of the year may urnish material for countless volumes, but they vill hardly be as important as the economic and ocial changes that have taken place. Whole ations have been transformed from within. Engnd is now living under modified form of social'm. The government has taken over the, industries of this great nation and is administering 'iem for the common. welfare; social ranks have oluntarily been levelled, so that charwoman and ternber of the royalty work side by side in the mnition factory and hospital; a whole nation has yen its working hours, its food problem, its clothrig and housing question settled by the government. When peace is declared, this vast na:onal machinery, brought to the highest stage of fficiency may be turned to the purposes of peace, laugurating an era of industrial development hat for its magnitude may astound the world. The outsif.: -ling feature of 1916 for the Unitd States 1: been unprecedented prosperity. ,Vith it has come a growing menace of extravagance in which employers : and business interests lave shared. The people of this country have Deen slow to recognize the danger, slow to learn .hat a period of prosperity is always followed by ne of depression, slow to Jay aside money when t is earned easily, and slow to prepare in sunshine for the rainy day. What 1917 has in store, none of us know. It s idle to indulge in prophecy. Peace may come

in Europe and with it added prosperity for America or general depression. Nobody knows what the future has in store.

Dirty Alleys in Richmond. ; You know how slovenly and dirty the alleys of the East Side of New York are. If you have not seen them, you have read descriptions. Whenever anyone wants to make a point of municipaf neglect in garbage, ash and refuse collection, he calls attention to the East Side. The same observation holds true of conditions in the West Side of Chicago. ': But you need not go to New York or Chicago to see how dirty an alley is after refuse has been dumped into it and the city has failed to collect it. Just walk along Sailor street, between ,Main and North A street, or in any of the alleys near the principal thoroughfare of the city. There you wjll see conditions every bit as bad as they are in the East Side and West Side of America's two largest cities. Dayton had the same trouble with its alleys

that Richmond is having how. No one knew why garbage was uncollected, why refuse piled up mountain high, why. the alleys were unkempt, dirty and slovenly. Then a city manager took charge. Garbage and refuse were quickly collected and at a much cheaper cost than formerly. The difference between Dayton and Richmond is that the former applies business methods to municipal problems and the latter is still under the obselete form of political administration.

Handling The Mails. More than fifteen thousand packages were handled and delivered by the Richmond post office during the holiday rush. Add to this, thousands of letters and newspapers, and you will have an idea of the amount of work the post office force had to take care of. The Christmas rush is an annual visitation at the local office. It is time when the clerks and carriers are worked to their utmost capacity. That they do not lose their patience but maintain a policy of courtesy and consideration for patrons speaks well for the service. A kind word of appreciation for service well performed is an amenity that we ought not to overlook.

Nothing seemed to happen, bnt I could tell by the look of intentness on his face that he was getting along all right and was not worrying. Suddenly the look on his face changed to one of extreme satisfaction. He dropped the disc he was holding to his ear back into its compartment and turned to me. -All at once it seemed as if the room in which we were was peopled bx spirits. There was - the sound of voices, loud, clear, distinct.. It was uncanny. "He has just come in," remarked Craig. ' "Who?" I asked. "Lockwood can't you recognize his voice? Listen." . I did listen intently, and the more my ears became adjusted, the more plainly I could distinguish two voices, that of a man and that of a woman. It was indeed Lockwood and the Senorita, far above us. 1 would have uttqjjnd an exclamation

of amazement, but I could not miss

what they were saying. "Then you you believe what he says?" asked Lockwood earnestly. "Professor Kennedy has the prints," replied Inez tremuloqsly. "You saw them?" "Yes." "And you believe what he says, too? There was a silence. "What is it?" I asked, tapping the box lightly. "A vocaphone," replied Kennedy. "The little box that hears and talks." "Can they hear us?" I asked in an awestruck whisper. "Not unless I want them to hear," he replied, indicating a switch. "You remember, of course, the various mecanical and electrical ears, such as the detectaphone, which we hace used for eavesdropping in other cases?" I nodded. .. "Well, this , is a new application

Mr. Employer, why not give that new stenographer a little ebanc? to make good? Sure, she did make some bad mistakes to-day your manner had much to do in bringing about the errors. She needs the position which you have given to her. She wants to please you, , .,. ..;.-.. -:;-. ,'.,: Tact of the matter, she is trying too hard. She is nervously afraid that she cannot meet requirements. ' Feeling so "strange" she does everything "sque-gee." She is Just out of school, and experience does not tell her what you most want. But you know the wage you are paying her does not command the ervices of a seasoned, capable expert. You have a daughter in your own home, perhaps. Think she could do better? Supposing she had to be a stenographer for a strange man, would you want her treated so brusquely as this new arrival in your office? Play square.

Why Women Wed Cripples

HAVEN'T you often wondered how no me beautiful woman could marry a cripple? And yet the reason isn't hard to find. While women prefer a man to be handsome, they don't mind If he is ugly If he is strong mentally and has an attractive peraonallty. Women admire heroism and overlook physical Imperfections. When . a women sees a man suffering all ' her tenderness and pity are aroused, and she often marries him in order to care for him the better. Man Is different. He will help tho weak. will pay for homos for crippled women, but rarely will he marry a crippled woman. A patriotic man will die for his count rv, and a woman who loves will be content to be tied to a maimed man for the rest of her da vs. The fact of a man belnc deformed will hardly affect hts chances as far as matrimony Is concerned, but If a woman Is a cripple, married life Is invariably barred to her.

which baa been made of the detectaphone. When I was using that disc from the compartment there, I. had really a detectaphone. But this is even better. You see how neat it all is?. This is the detective service, and more. We can 'listen In and we don't have to use ear-pieces, either, for this

is a regular loud-speaking telephone-

It talks right out in meeting. Those square holes with the converging sides act as a sort of megaphone to the re

ceivers, those little circles back there magnifying the sound and throwing it

wood say.

"You have?" came back the answer

in a voice which for the first time sounded cold. Lockwood must have recognized it. He had made a mistake. It was no

sufficient answer to anything that he

had done to assert that some one else had also done something. "Inez," he said, and we could al

most hear his feet as he moved over

the floor in her direction in a last desperate appeal, "can't you trust me. when I tell you that everything is all right, that they are trying to ruin me with you?" There was a silence, during which we could almost hear her quick breath come and go. "Women not even Peruvian women are like the women of the past, Chester," she said at length. "We are-not playthings. Perhaps we have hearts but we also have heads. We are not to be taken up and down, as you please. We may love but we also

A safe and efficient remedy for all catarrhal ills and stomach trouble. Contains no narcotics, opiates or minerals. No drug appetite formed by the use of It Na-tu:ra Treats the Cause It's Nature's Way. A fair personal trial will prove its merits. Mrs. H. G. Hoffman, of Bridgeport, Ind heartily reccommends Natura. Gentlemen: I had a very severe case of 6tomach trouble for the past three years. I would bloat after eating, often would go to the table hungry feeling like 1 could eat a good meal, when I would only eat a few bites, until my ctomach would feel full and I could not eat any more; everything I ate would hurt me with that awful burning from which I had suffered severely. I had doctored and also had taken almost everything I had heard of for stomach trouble, from which I received no benefit. I was very badly discouraged. Natura was recommended to me for all forms of catarrhal trouble. I began taking Natura and before all the first bottle was gone I could see a change for the better.. I have used It for about two months. The burning in my stomach is gone, I am eating anything I want and am feeling fine, this Is the only medicine I ever used that helped me. I heartily recommend Natura as a medicine of merit NATURA can be obtained through all reliable druggists, but always at the following progressive dealers in and around Richmond, Ind. Richmond, Ind.

Saxon Cars Are Built to Give You Good Service That is the dominant thought of the entire Saxon organization to build a car that .will serve you uninterruptedly, efficiently and economically. Each member of the Saxon organization feels the share he has in this endeavor and realizes the responsibility that it places upon him. How well Saxon cars meet the ideals of their builders and the requirements , of your service is proved in one way by the remarkable growth of the Saxon Company and by the fact that the demand for them has been greater than production since the beginning. But it is proved in another and better way by the actual performance records of the cars themselves thousands and thousands of them in the hands of owners thruout the country. We doubt if you will find any set of own-, ers as firmly convinced of the goodness of their cars as Saxon owners are of Saxon cars. And after all, isn't this owner-evidence the best evidence that Saxon cars are what we claim them to be the best cars in their class? You are urged to meet the members of the Quaker . City Garage local representatives of the Saxon Company. They are the kind of men you like to deal with. SAXON MOTOR CAR CORPORATION DETROIT
