determined that her second husband,

ply her with thrills and romance
Bill, a rather prosaic chap, has made
op his mind to win her, and that sort

Is really a succession of lore stories.
Of course, you can guess who It is

W. R. Harper was strongly in
favor of te morning closing, saying
that he would prefer to close all fore
noon if necessary, rather than take
out a part of the afternoon.
J. W. Outhrle spoke as a disinter
ested party, not being in the store
business, and pointed out that it
might be difficult to say Just which
stores should receive heat and which
should not. He said that the upper
stories of nine out of ten store build

Hies and that they needed heat twen
ty-four hours out of the day. He
declared that a good saving could be
effected by cutting down light con
sumption In general, and cited the
suggestion of another business man
that, if need be, much fuel could be
saved by families doubling up.

were necessary. Whereupon the
council voted to place the entire mat

it was desirable to have a complete

L. 11. Highland remarked that the
federal law required the use of a

ESTIMATED WAR LOSS
FOR ENTIRE WORLD
Dead of All Cause During the War
Will Total $12,990,571 ,
Tht first comprehensive report on
the "Direct and Indirect Costs of the
War" has Just been made by the
Carnegie endowment for Interna
tional peace and published in a vol
ume under that title.
The direct cost for countries act
ually involved In the war are put at
$186,000,000,000 and the Indirect
cost at 1151,612,542,560. The lat
ter total Includes losses to neutrals,
which are put at $1,750,000,000. It
also Includes loss of production, put
at $45,000,000,000, and war relief
estimated at $1,000,000,000.
The capitalized value of soldier
human life, also given among the in-
direct costs, is placed at $33,531,
376,280. The property losses are di
vided as follows: On land, $29,060,
000,000; to shipping and cargo, $6,
800.000,000.
The report, which was gathered by
Ernest L. Bogart, professor of eco
nomics In the University of Illinois,
In estimateing the "capitalized value
of human life," fixes the worth of
the individual at figures ranging
from $2,020 in Bulgaria, Turkey,
Greece, Japan, Roumanla, Serbia and
several other countries, up to $4,720
for the United States, where the eco
nomic worth of the individual to the
natlon is placed at the highest.
An additional $33,551,000,000 is
allowed for civilian losses. Although
many of the latter were of children
and old persons, the estimate given
for the civilian loss Is believed to be
conseravtlve.
The number of known dead is
placed at 9,998,771, and the missing
presumed to be dead at $2,991,800.
To the losses from death and wounds
there Is added "those resulting from
disease, pestilence, privation, hard
ship, physical exhaustion and similar
causes."

slightly taller in the morning than
he Is In the evening. I don't know
