Arthur Brisbane WHEN THEY STEAL ENOUGH WOMEN NOT EXTRAVAGANT. A DtOBLEM FOB JUSTICE. TWO ATE SEVEN OR EIGHT. Ttie theory that you arc safe in America 11 you steal ENOUGH may lie shaken by the trial at Washing ton at gentlemen accused of stealing tbe Government's oil suppU*. by I bribing the Secretary of the Interior, i The trial was halted and the jury dismissed by the judge on evidence ?? to the "fixing" of jurors. If it can be shown that money was ; used to fix Jurors in this coCSe .the fix ers might go to jail: ? However, if big thieves can bribe a Secretary of the Interior and escape punishment, even with the Supreme Court officially denouncing their dis honest}-. bribing a Juror or two may not make much difference. After all the; talk about ."extrava gant women" you will be interested in ' this fact, provided by the United j States Department of Labor: . Men. on the average, spend more for their clothes than women. The average for husbands is *7138; of wires. *63.55. Women are the economical half of the hoasheld. making ends meet, .de nying themselves for their children and the "future Not to know it is not to know women or men. A killing that will puzzle the jury comes from McHenry County in Il linois. The police announce that William Schmacher, twenty-eight was :nnoncent of the charge that he had killed his father. Schmacher told ?hem "You art wrong. I waited for him to come into the barn, pulled tbe triggei . and. the shot almost blew his head off." His father made him work before and after school when he was nine ? ears old. took him out ot school for good when hp was twelve, and made him do a man's work. He beat the boy's motheT. repeatedly, knocked her unto a hot stove and left her tjiere. drove a pitchfork into the leg of a younger brother so far that the boy j | could D0t pull It out without help. Just before the murdef he knocked his wife to the floor with a blow on the Chin, accusing' her of Infidelity, raying a farmhand was the real fath er of the twenty-eight-year old son. That son killed him. The neighbors corroborate the story of cruelty. It will not be easy to get a con viction in that case. The city of Syracuse spends on motoring seventeen ceqts out of every dollar of income ? and old-fashioned finance, wagging its head,- say* "ex travagance." Buying new automo biles takes ten and a quarter cents, pasoltne three and a half cents, ac cessories three cents. And that's the best Invetsment ol seventeen* cents that Syracuse could make. If a hoptoad could buy wings for seventeen cents on his dollar and fly. instead of painfully hopping in the dust, he'd be a fool- not to spend the seventeen cents. Auto mobiling is flying. Get a car if you have not got one. or a better car if. you can afford It. The Vancouver Sun tells you that one hundred ships are chartered to ?*,<. '-'7^ -V*.' : "? "I , carry 20.000,000*^>ustori&. of Canadian wheat from Vancouver to Britian and the Continent in the next thr?e months. All 'these ships make man)1 crullers necessary for Britian. We, too, should build fast cruisers, for we may some day wake up and have a commercial navy. Meanwhile our Panama canal? 1 through which all the 100* ships of grain will pass ? is offered to our Can adian and British brothers with no extra charge for the fact that our money built It. They pay Just whati our own ships pay. Not every nation ' would do Hurt. A Ashing boat had drifted four thousand miles when it was picked up off oux northwest coast. White \ bones on the deck showed the part i that cannibalism had playe<L in the ( tragedy of the sea. Two that died, last of all. were in j tact. The others, seven or eight, had ! been eaten to prolong the lives of the , two. No man can say what he would I do under certain circumstances, un less he has been tested under those [ circumstances. ? 0 < i ADVERTISE IN "THE COURTER" PHONE 47-H There is a right and a wrong way of doing anything.

BUY YOUR TIRES AT HOME "Electricity!? j The Foe of Drudgery" j Says Mrs. John D. Sherman i President, General Federation of ( Women's Clubs 7 ' i T JLhi "Electrically equipped homes mean happier and more healthful homes. The cost of electrically operated labor reduction devices is off set many times - by Th6 S&ving, the increased efficiency , the protection to health and the con tribution to the general well-being of the family of such devices."* -HE constructive efforts of the forward-looking electric power companies of the United States have released an ever-increasing number of women from the ex acting duties of the household to more congenial and interesting pursuits of life. Every new electrical invention finds an abundance of power ready to serve it. Through the -enterprise of these companies, inspired by individual initiative, electric power plants and service facilities are being constructed five years in advance of consumer demand. Since 1900, the capac ity of these plants has been doubled every 'five years. Keenly alert to their social obli gations, these electric power companies have not" Been con" tent; to rest on the expansion of their facilities. The most expert. , ' highly skilled and highly trained technical personnel in the whole field of industry is working for the betterment of electrical ser vice and the reduction of its cost. As a result of this sense of trus teeship, the average home today enjoys the comforts and conven iences of electricity at a cost of only a few cents per day. Operating under the American principle of individual initiative, and working in the interests of the public, these specialists in science, engineering, finance and administration constitute one of society's greatest forces in the promotion of a freer, more en lightened and abundant life. In the continued support of this principle lies America's ' assurance of all that makes lor progress, prosperity and cultural opportunity. *The complete text of Mrs. Sherman's address u?ll be furnished upon request.
