We Keep Dope Away From
Those Who Used It Why
Not Deadly Explosives!
Recent bomb outrages thru*
United States have t-mphuM?,*
for more stringent taws govern:!
sale of explosives.
Almost any irresponsible p; "t:*
would seem, can obtain a supply
chemicals and with them wrens
tion to life and property.
r The most prominent of such in t. '
of recent date occurred in d>.
where eleven persons weir ,\t!v■! In
explosion of a bomb which n
brought to |X)lice headquarters

Only a lucky accident prevent*
liar tragedy in Detroit when a bmrl» w
fuse attached was found on t *
ledge of the local detective bur u.
Luckily this deadly all air w.i h i

factories in the north Woodward ii u
Only yesterday an infernal r r i
was discovered on a window edge .<’
bee headquarters.
It is believed that timely rain >avt a
repetition of the Milwaukee bombing.
Such things indicate criminal laxity a
the part of the American people.
It should not be poss.i ' . < ■•*
war times, for any person to < • 1 • n ex*
plosives who cannot give rs minut iv at
iafactory account of the pur|n»e
which he wishes to employ them.

act, under which no explosives could 1"

the official that he wanted the -
legitimate would in oui < p i <* f '*
do much to prevent a species of out . .
which has become ail to common.
The Germans Make It
Hard For Italians To
Fiffht Without Hatred
For the benefit of those who si r
fit the thought of American R ys .•
trained to the business o’ 1. ,i 1 e
mans—
And for the enlightenment o
who do not realize just what b *
foe the T'nited States is facing -
The Times wishes to quote an extra* t
from an.official dispatch, of Friday fr< ni
responsible officials in Rome t<« n , a
aible officials in Washington, concerning
the kind of war the Austro-Germ n
forces are waging in the occupie 1 terri
tory of Italy.
Here it is:
“ITALIAN SOLDIERS REPORT
THAT THE SCREAMS OF WOMEN'
IN THE HANDS OF AUSTRO-C.LE
GMANS MAKE THE NIGHTS HIDLOI S
ALONG THE PIAVE LINE.”
Stop here, and let that sink in.
Try to realize what it means to the
sons, husbands and brothers of tho. e
women across the river.
If you were an Italian soldier * Da
banks of the Piave could you fight with
out hatred?

The Overlooker
BY OR. FRANK CRANe
(Copyright, 1915, by Frank Crane)
In an interview the other day Robert
\V. rhambers is reported as saying ’•
“The really wise woman conceals her
wisdom from her men friends. She does
not criticize; instead she overlooks.”
Which remark is a sound, juicy cutlet
of truth.
It's not what yon see in rue that makes
you love me; it’s what you m£u*e to '’ee
in me
When I was a little boy I had a school
teacher whom 1 adored with all the in
tensity a male person of seven can ex
ercise toward a female penson of twenty
five. I love that woman still, tho she is
dead and pone, or married and done for,
years asro, as far as I know. And the
principal reason for my infatuation of
Miss Lamb (that was her name; J won
der what has become of her) was that
she was the first expert star overlooker
that came into my life.
I know now that at the time of this
early passion I was a tow r -headed urchin,
usually with a dirty face and a nose thst
needed plumbing, an enemy to all order
ly government, in the road of and dis
liked by most people, and fuller of tho
Old Ned than an eprg is full of meat.
And along; came this teacher in the
Third Ward school; she couldn’t see any
of my conspicuous disagreeable qualities,
declared I was a wonderful '’hild and
some day w*ould be president of the
I’nited States or foreman of the jrrand
jury on the Day of Judgment, or some
thing:, and aaked me to her house, and
fed me candy and apples. Love her?
Never since have I felt such utter, con
suming devotion. I would have died for
her. I even kept my face clean and my
hair combed for her—when I thought
of it.
Oh. there’s meanness and undesirable
ness enough in any one of us, if you look
at it, to make us loathly! And in the
worst of us there are spots of beauty
which the skilled overlooker can find, and
no soul nses until it sees its own beauty,
and it never sees that unless it bo first
thru the eyes of a friend.
Look after your children, mother, hut
sugar it with a deal of overlooking.
l/)ok after your husband, woman; and
after your wife, man; and look after your
men, captain; and look after your pris
oners, warden; and look after your work
men. boss: and look after youy pupils,
teacher; but don’t fail to do a good deai
of overlooking.
Kven of the great Eve that seeth us
all and to whom our very inmost
thoughts are as a printed page, perhaps
when it is said that He will remember
our sins against us no more forever it
means that that all-seeing Eye is, in
mercy and love and infinite pity, an Al
mighty Overlooker.
