ENEMY ASKS U. S. TO SAFEGUARD , SUBJECTS HERE

Universal M Hilary Training is Vitally Essential-Beveridge

(By AsaoclaUd Pre )

AMSTERDAM. June 12. Germany has lodged a complaint in Washington ind asked for safeguards against such excesses as led to the lynching of Robert P. Prager at Colllnsvllle, 111., on April 4. according to a Wolff bureau telegram from Germany quoting Privy councillor Simons in replying to a question asked by Herr Mueller of Meinlngen in the Reichstag. Privy Councillor Simons is quoted as follows: "The lynching of Prager is a fact and was committed for no otner reason than that Prager was a German and sympathizer with the German cause. The Swiss minister at Washington has lodged a complaint and asked for safeguards against such excesses. "The United States admits the facts but says that under the law of Illinois, It cannot interfere. The investiga

tion Is proceeding and legal steps are

being taken for tbe luture. Th United States, which is allfg

edly warring against the Huns In the interests of humanity, bears the main

responsibility for the crime. The American government permitted Cerman hatred to bo fanned amongst the American people. We cannot rest satisfied with the statement that the laws of Illinois are inadequate to handle the situation. The American government must find ways to protect the .rights and liberties of Germans in America. ' "The German government has repeatedly made known, through the Swiss minister, that progress in this matter should be accelerated, whatevre the conditions in the United States may be. The United States government must under all circumstances see that such things do not occur again." Herr Mueller said that a British paper had published a list of similar cases and the privy councellor replied: "We are going into these cases, but we can only deal with those of German subjects."

LABOR

ST. PAUL, Minn., June 12. The vimt amount of business ahead of the

American Federation of Labor which

is holding its annual convention nere, nrohablv will result in prolonging the

sessions for more than two weeks, it said today. More than a hundred

resolutions presented at the eleventh hour have been assigned to the various committees for consideration. . The convention proceedings have been materially retarded, it was said, by the failure of committees to report. They were asked today to report. They were asked today to report either In full or In part. ; A reception will be held tonight in honor of the American Labor Mission which recently returned from a trip abroad.

(By Associated Press.) . i LAFAYETTE. Ind., June 12. Universal military training for this country and closer co-operation among all classes In business, and every day life

are vitally essential Albert J. Bever-

idge, former united States senator said here today at the commencement

exercises of Purdue University. Many

phases of the war from it causes, its

progress, ending by the defeat or sur

render of German, ana wnai may oe expected in the future were touched upon by Mr. Beveridge.

The very conditions of- life In the United States which have developed

Initiative, daring, dash and independ

ence, also have developed an excess

ive individualism and some harmful

qualities, he declared. They are disappearing, however, as the need for co-operation and unified action is seen

by all. "The master note of the future of the American nation, Is popular collectivism," Mr. Beveridge declared. "When peace comes, he said the country must continue the forward Impulses which have been given by the war. Had the country been better pre

pared for the war, had military training been part of the education of all men, and had the navy been as large

i It should have been, the former

senator asserted the war would not

have been forced on this country.

Thousands of Women Making Gas Masks for American Soldiers

(By Associated Press WASHINGTON, June 12. Women who. as wives, and sisters of soldiers have a deep realisation of the necessity for painstaking care in their work, make the gas masks for the American army. "Somewhere in the United States," at a plant whose location for obvious reasons is not made public, thousands of them are engaged in the delicate

proficient in all the divisions of the task, the statement adds. After that they were assembled in divisions, companies, platoons and squads, under women leaders, and the defense seivice eays that the method produced "unusual results both in discipline and control of production. Friendly rivalry as to the quantity and quality of output Is carried on between the different companies."

Soldiers who have experienced tne

and intricate operations, and in con- horrors of being 'gassed' have lectured

ducting tests on the finished products.

They have been organized in military fashion, and specially selected for the work. "It soon became apparent that the type of women needed could not be secured through the ordinary channels of employment," says a statement of the Gas Defense service, that section of the surgeon general's office which controls the manufacture," and men were sent to localities displaying service flags to secure the serv

ices of women vitally interested, who would be most loyal in their work, and extremely anxious to send out perfect gas-masks." Sewing face pieces, assembling sections, and making sure that the fin

ished mask will be impervious to gas requires a whole series of complicated

operations. Schools were established,

and the women selected were trained in special courses until they became

to the workers, and special motion pic

tures have impressed upon them just how the deadly deadly fumes, against which the work of their hands is the

onlv defense, are used. At the same

time, the government has paid special

attention to welfare work, the statement says, and at the immense plant

hospital, rest room and recreation ia cilities have been provided.

Home-Built Garage Economical and Convenient; It Pays to Protect Your Car

More motor cars find their way t the junk heap because of neglect than is a re3ult of hard service. It is misuse, more than use, that makes

dingy, wheery rattle-traps today of what a year or so ajro were handlome, smouth-runninjr machines that reflected the pride of their owners as I hey sped about town and country, the embodiment of practical utility tind luxurious comfort. The man who gets the most service with tha least exnense and trouble from his

automobile, is the man who (rives it

proper care the care a Deautuui and wonderful machine deserves.

And "proper" care includes adequate housing when the car is not in use a garaire that will afford protection fmm tA weather and extreme terti-

nomturea. safety from theft, and

facilities for cleaning, oilincr and

making repairs. I Reasons for a Dome Garage.

I Every consideration of economy and convenience urges the atitomot.il owner to have a crarasre of his

own. whether he he a resident of

town or country. The man in town who houses his car in a public jraratre usually i9 paying in rentals annually n sum tht would build a jrarage on his own premises, and he is in addition subjected " more or less inconvenience In petting out the car and putting it away. Furthermore, he patron of the public garage is taking th risk of his car being used without h's permission, and sometimes suffers the annoyance and

financial loss of havine wrenches.

dash lamps, inner tubes, and other loose articles of equipment mysteriously "disappear." When your car

is housed in your own garage it is nnrier lock and key when not In use:

It ia at hand when wanted, day or

night, or when you feel like donning your overalls and giving it a "going over"; and. last but not least, it is tot eating its head off in stall

rentals.

I In the country, the car owner MUST I rovide his own housing, for hii verv irooH reason there are no

public garages available, f'ometim the farmer owner is timpted t make room" for his ear by removing farm machinery from its proper shelter and leaving it out in the weather. That, of course, is the worst kind of poor business, because the implements suffer from exposure rd go t rack, just as the automobile would under similar condition-,, while the shed space provided is more than likely unsuited to the storage of the car! Barn space also is undesirable as a housing place, because In that case the car becomes a perch-

If live stock is stabled in the building the ammonia fumes given off by manure will quickly rum the varnish on the car, just as they will the finish of a carriage or buggy. Your Property Value Increased, There is, in fact, no question that a garage is a first class investment from the standpoint of convenience for. you. protection and longer life for vour car: increased property

I value, and economy in motor ear "upkeep," but if you are to fully enLjoy these benefits von should keep I these points in mind:

Build right m the first place. Ruild with wood, because a wooden

garage is warmest in winter, coolest in summer and dry all tbo time. A c-ood wooden garage will last longer,

look better and give far more satisfactory service than any other of

anything like the same cost. ,

Build economically wrocn means, use good materials without wasting money on unnecessarily expensive construction. The best material for garage building, and the most moderate in price, is Southern Pine. Southern Pine is wonderfully strong and durable. It is very workable and takes and holds paint perfectly. It is carried in stock by almost every retail lumber dealer east of the Rocky Mountains. With it you can build a home garage that will give you a life time of honest service. , , M An interesting and instructive booklet on the Home Built Garage, with plans and working specifications, has recently been issued by the Southern Pine Association of New Orleans, to whom we are indebted for the illustrations appearing above.
