PARADISE FOR THE POETS
World Surely Would Be Pleasant
Dwelling Place If All 8weet Sing
er* Were Endowed.
A contemporary suggests that poets
and poetry—be endowed.
Should such a great and holy reform
be established the stream of poc^y
will at last be undammed. The singer
will break his chains. The world may
finally slake Its burning thirst In lim
pid pools of truth. The lyre will be
heard In every town and hamlet. Men
will read poetry at meals, then impro
vise it in their sleep. Newspapers and
magazines will teem with It. There
will be swarms of poets, like mosqui
toes, catching inspiration from every
twig nnd leaf—and fat government
subsidies.
Nor is this all. The poet will become
a sort of public utility, like the fire
department. His job will be to kindle
tire, not extinguish it. He" will be
rushed to the scene of action in a mu
nicipal auto, there fittingly to com
memorate great deeds. A poet will be
available by night or day for all oc
casions—public as well as private.
But how shall a poet qualify? How
become officially endowed? By length
of servitude or quantity and quality of
product? What the remuneration?
Shall we form a poet's zoo, each with
his own cage and a yard and trough?
Ah, here we become lost in a maze of
difficulties. Who will administer the
fund? Think how Parnassus might
be corrupted!
Yet 'tis worth the experiment Gay
ety will be all the world's portion
when the poet, jealous of his monetary
grant, is foued training his muse to
jump and bark at pleasure of poll
tics.—Toledo Blade.

WITH APPLAUSE
New Jersey Governor Talks to
Delegates at American Fed
eration Convention.
LABOR OPPOSES REDS
Samuel Ggmpers Declares Organised
Worker* Are Determined Political
or Industrial Tyranny Shall v
Have no Place Here.
Atlantic City, N. J., June 11 —At the
opening session of the American Fed
eration of Labor, delegates represent
ing more than 3,000,000 American
workingmen and women put the stamp
of their disapproval on the idea of
radical agitators and prepared to deal
with reconstruction problems of vital
inyortance to organized labor.
Opportunity to show their lack of
sympathy with the efforts of radicals
came during an address by Governor
Runyon, of New Jersey. Referring to
a meeting in New York last night, the
governor asserted that "these men
threaten that unless things are settled
their way chaos will result."
Law and Order 8entiment.
"1 know that American labor and
this convention," he declared, "have
no sympathy with any ideas that are
not constructive. I know you are out
of harmony with destruction creeds.
You think along sane lines."
A burst of applause from the floor
swelled to a roar.
Samuel Gompers sounded the key
note of the convention when he said
organized labor was determined that
political or industrial tyranny should
have no place in America.
"Any employer," said Mr. Gompers,
"who thinks that industrial autocracy
is going to prevail in the United StateB
is counting without his host."
Mr. Gompers said organized labor
was making no unjust demands, and
that workers, having shed their biood
and made sacrifices to win the war had
no intention of losing sight of the
principles, rights and ideals for which
they had fought.
The annual report of the executive
council containing broad outlines of
organized labor's reconstructive pro
gram was submitted to the delegates.
In it the council made many recom
mendations designed to protect the
rights and improve the conditions of
American labor.
44-Hour Week Favored.
Foremost among the subjects dealt
with was the reconstruction program
submitted to the executive council
last December by a committee which
had been studying the general situa
tion and labor's requirements. Rec
ommendation l'or a 44-hour week, and
a declaration that existing wages must
not be reduced and, in fact, in many
cases should be increased, are the
salient points.
CHICAGO IS HEADQUARTERS
Telegraph Operators' Strike Will Be]

Chicago, June 11.—S. F. Komen
kamp, president of the Commercial
Telegraphers union, said Chicago prob
ably would be the center of tho coun
trywide strike as union officials
plan to direct all activities from here.
He said fully 4,000 Chicago workers
would be affected by the order. This,
however, is denied by officials of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
who said few of their employers are
union members.
Plans are completed, Mr. Konen
kamp said, for the strike, which will
involve 70,000 telegraphers and tele
phone operators.
FAST TRAIN STRIKES AUTO
Six Persons Are Killed in Suburb oi
Chicago.
Chicago, June 11.—Six persons, two
men. one woman and three children,
were instantly killed when a train

Clemenceau Stands Firm Against
"ny Modification Whatever
In Peace Terms.
NEW FIUME PROPOSAL
Reported Solution of Adriatic Problem
8aid to Make City Free for
Five Years, Then Plebis
cite to Follow.
Paris, June 11.—The Council of
Four met amid an atmosphere of
considerable pessimism over the
larger questions of peace-making
with Germany still unsolved. It Is
understood that Premier Georges
Clemenceau has not moved from
his position against any modifica
tion of the peace terms.
Paris, June 11.—The Adriatic ques
tion is reported to have been virtually
settled by the peace conference. The
plan follows:
First—Flume will be made a free
elty, under protection of the League
of Nations, together with considerable
surrounding territory, which becomes
a free state.
Second—Sebemco will go to the
Jugo-Slavs.
Third—Zara will become a free city
under Italian control.
Fourth—Certain Adriatic islands ad
jacent to the Jugo-Slav coast will be
awarded to Italy.
Flume to Choose.
Fifth—A plebiscite will be taken in
five years to determine whether the
people of Fiume and the. surrounding
free territory desire to remain under
the League of Nations or become sub
ject to either the Italians or the Jugo
Slavs.
Reports of the various Allied com
mittees regarding German counterpro
posals were before the Big Four to
day.
Some of the reports, It' was learned,
are ready to be incorporated in the
Allied reply—expected to be submitted
Friday—while others probably will re
sult in further discussion.
League Debate Expected.
Among questions to be debated are
a fixed sum for reparations and early
admission of Germany to the League
of Nations. A lively debate on the
latter was anticipated. The British
and Americans, it was understood, fa
vor earliest possible admission of the
Germans the French hotly oppose it.
The Big Four also was expected to
devote some time to solution ot' the
problem presented by the three-cor
nered warfare in which the Ruman
ians, Czechs and Hungarians figure.
The Allies are reported to have dis
patched an ultimatum to the Hungar
ian soviet government, demanding it
cease its attacks on the Czechs.
Reports circulated -in the United
States that Brand Whitlock had been
appointed ambassador to Italy were
authoritatively denied. It was said
that no appointment had been made
and that Whitlock was only one of
several considered for the post.
Jugo-Slav Supports Wilson.
President Wilson has received a let
ter from an unknown Jugo-Slav, who
said he had heard of the president's
points and the proposed plebiscite,
and desired to cast his vote in favor
of Jugoslavia against Italy.
President Wilson sent the letter to
the secretariat as constituting the first
•ote, submitted on the Adriatic plebis
cite.
The council of foreign ministers of
the peace conference has decided to
name a commission of seven members
to continue discussion of the revision
of the treaty of 1839, having to do
with the status of Belgium. There
will be one member for each of the
five great powers and one each for
Belgium and Holland.

MAGNIFICENT NEW LABORATORY
HAS DAILY CAPACITY OF
36,000 BOTTLES
What is said to be one of the larg
est pharmaceutical laboratories in the
United States has been completed at
Dayton, Ohio, for the manufacture of
Tanlac, the_ well-known medicine,
which according to recent reports is
now having the largest sale of any
medicine of Its kind in the world.
The erection of the new plant was
made necessary by the rapid growth
of the business, as the older plant was
found to be wholly inadequate to sup
ply the ever-increasing demand which
at the present rate of sale will amount
to more than five million bottles for
the present year alone.
By the erection of this plant the
manufacturers of Tanlac are giving
to the world just one more evidence
of the remarkable growth and expan
sion of their business, and of their
absolute confidence in its future.
This announcement will be read
with interest not only by the many
thousands of Tanlas agents scattered
throughout every state in the Union
and throughout Canada, but to the
millions who have used it beneficially
as well.
The new building occupies 60,000
square feet of floor space.
v
It is six
stories in height, practically fire-proof
throughout, and is of stricking arch
itectural design, it also has private
railway facilities.
This beautiful new structure now
stands in striking contrast beside the
older building where Tanlac was first
made.
Visitors to the laboratories are
strqngly impressed with the extremely
modern character of the equipment.
Everything is provided and splendidly
arranged to promote systematic and
rapid production. The very latest ma
chinery and devices known to inven
tion and pharmaceutical science are
here used.
The interior throughout is finished
in spotless white, and all of the large
force of employees weare white uni
forms, which t'ney 'are required t»
change daily. The main offices on the
first floor are ail finished in Carara
marble and mahogany.
The entire process of manufacture
is conducted under absolutely sani
tary conditions. Even the bottles
piade expressly to contain Tanlac are
washed and sterilized electrically by
the ultra violet process. They are
then filled by automatic machinery
and the finished product is therefore
never touched by human hands.
When Tanlac was introduced into
Canada history repeated itself, and the
demand which had been created in the
United* States was quickly duplicated
in the Domain Provinces. As a result,
it was recently found necessary to es
tablish another Tanlac Laboratory at
Windsor, Canada which is on a some
what smaller scale than the plant at
Dayton, but is no less modernly equip
ped.
These new facilities give a daily
capacity of 36,000 bottles, but as Tan
lac is rapidly being introduced into
foreign countries it is probably only a
question of a few years before even
large facilities will become necessary.
While the Maunfacturers are neces
sarily working for capacity production,
it is a fundamental rule of the Tanlac
Laboratories that the quality of the
medicine shall never be sacrificed to
secure quanity output.
Uniform quality is guaranteed by a
series of careful inspections by expert
chemists, from the time the roots,
herbs, and barks are received in their
rough state from all parts of the globe
until their medicinal properties have
been extracted by the most approved
processes. The. finished medicine is
then bottled, labelled, and shipped
out to the tens of thousands of drug-

C. G. Forbes, and in Underwood by the
Evander Drug Company.
BOY "DROPPED INTO MONEY"
New York Youngster Found Floor®'
of Deserted House Fairly Strejtfi
With Bank Notesw
A coal chute may be a prosaic sub
stitute for Aladdin's lamp, "but one
found by a New York boy delivered
the goods as satisfactorily aa ever did
the old oil burner of '(Arabian Nighfaf
fame, observes the Kansas Olty Star.
Vincent Maatag'lto had been dazzling
his
playmat&jWith
great rolls of
$10
bank notes adjfpockets full of Jewelry
for several days when the police
learned of his suddenly acquired
riches: and took him1"Into juvenile
court, where he' told of discovering his
treasure trove.
He was playing In a New York Bast
side street the other day when he fell
through a coal hole. There wasnt
much in the cellar to excite his, inter
est, so he tried the upper floors of the
house, which he found to be deserted.
There, he told the police, he found
rooms with their floors strewn with
money $5 and $10 bills had been
wadded and thrown in every corner,
and Jewelry littered the dressVpg
tables.
Investigation by the police verified
the boy's statement. They learned
that the house had been occupied by
Mrs. James Sandham, a recluse ninety
years old, who had died a few days
before. The boy was the first person
to enter the house after the woman
had been removed to a hospital, and
the money, thought to be rents- from
her tenants, had lain where she had
thrown It on the floor as she re
ceived It.
BUDDY LOCKS AND COURAGE
OsssrvRtion of English Writer Is That
'the Two Are Generally Found
Together.
"Ginger for pluck" Is an old saying
which would seem to be confirmed in
the bestowal of military decorations
for bravery, observes London An
swers. "It was in the ruined square
of demolished Ypres last Christmas
eve," 'writes a British officer, "that I
was first impressed by the large num
ber of red-haired men who were re
ceiving the military medal.
"Since that afternoon I have noted
the complexion of every office!' and
man wearing a military decoration,
and the impression made at Ypres
has been strengthened inconsequence.
There must be something in the old
saying, for wherever soldiers are
gathered together there is a red
haired, beribboned man in the midst
of them.
"Take our most famous fighting di
vision—the invincible Fifty-first. This
Is composed almost entirely of High
land troops, and the Highlanders are
nearly all full-blooded blonds. Of
course there are dark-haired heroes in
plenty, but nevertheless red hair and
pluck would seem to be synonymous
Red "hair Is common among our most
daring airmen, and although I cannot
eay how many holders of the Victoria
cross sport ruddy locks I am prepared
to wager that they form a large per
centage.
"Scientists say that red hair. Is
caused by a large proportion of iron
in the system,-and certainly 'carrots
and freckles' have been worn by men
of Iron while doing the work of men
In the devil's own war."
New Synthetic Milk.
A recently patented synthetic milk,
that can be made Into butter and
cheese, is produced by boiling sepa
rately, in three quarts of water for
each, a grated coconut and three
ounces of a mixture of rice and oat
meal. When the water Is reduced to
one-half, the two liquids are mixed to
gether and filtered. The process seems
to admit of variation, and other vege
table material rich In oil may be sub
stituted for the coconut.
