Over 100 menand .women, repre senting all the branches of the amusement profession, were in at tendance at the religious service con'ducted by the Rev.

I had de layed going to the kitchen after my mother-in-law's departure for her usual morning walk with Richard, Second, in his perambulator, a Gayety theater Sunday afternoon.

Three members of the Volun teers of America gave several mu sical selections,,, and one of them read the text of the service. Working in Common Cause. Rev. Mr. Brown, in his sermon, pointed out the relation between the members of the clergy and the actors, and emphasized the idea that both organizations are working for the common good of the people by exploiting the inevitable reward of good and the destruction of evil. He srave 'something of the history of theatricals, showing that the pro fessions had a common origin, and that their mission continued, the ame through all the generations.' Bibles Distributed. Two hundred Bibles, donated by some person whose idcntityvwas not disclosed, were distributed, each per son present receiving a copy in ommtmoration of the service. The service was closed by the ongregation singing "America." I ' f nd a benediction by Mr. Brown.

That the service was a success, and that it was appreciated was made ) plain by the appearance of those who left the theater with smiles of contentment and hearts set to fill better their places in life. J lage which she would not have missed for worlds. There were other fond grandmothers abroad at the same hour, with some oi whom she had ' designed to scrape an acquaintance. . But' she defiantly announced at almost every re turn home that "there" was not a child in the village could hold a candle to Richard, Second." The departure of the two, how ever, always left my room a wreck, for the doting grandmother usually inspected half the baby's wardrobe before she selected the garments she wished to put on him. It was the replacing oi the little clothes and the setting of my room to rights which had delayed my going to the kitqhen as soon as my mother-in-law left the house, the original plan I had made with Katie. The Secret. "All right, Katie, I'll be there in one minute," I called cheerily, and made good my promise with a second or two to spare, to Katie's manifest delight. "Se"!, I got everytings all ready for you." , She pointed gleefully to the mixing table, 'where flour, sugar, butter, flavoring, eggs, tins, mixing bowl, everything to the last spoon was laid out in readiness for my hand. "I know you vont . have every ting out of vay ven grandmother gets back," she said, lowering her voice as If Mother Graham could hear her. "And I hide dot cake for you vere she no find heem. Den ven she gets cold you put dot frost ing on, and I hide heem again. Den ven you want heem, she all ready!" I kept my face straight with an effort though this weird jumbling prououns, thanked Katie warmly, and proceeded to the building of the cake about which I had dreamed so much even in those never-to-be-forgotten-days before the baby was born. Then, I think, in common with most prospective mothers.

VON WIEGAND. Berlin, Sept. 28. "Max Harden in - the Pillory," is the title of a book let by Friedrich Thiome, historian and publicist, containing an alleged expose of the famous editor of Die Zuku,n,ft, charging him, among 'iejrih'ff6,'ith "conscienceless treason against the German nation." Thiome has been one of the bit terest antagonists of Harden ever Mnce the latter, with his vitriolic pen, broke tip the notorious "knights of the round table" clique of degener . ales around the kaiser. Call Him to Trial - Thiome begins his attack upon the man once called the German St. George and whom Bernstorff re "cently suggested for German , am bassador to the United States with: "I invite Max Harden before the tribunal of the German people. Be- fore this tribunal I charge Harden with trifold guilt. I accuse him of having been one of the chief guilty ones in the fatal world war. 1 charge him "with being one of the chief guilty ones in the final result at Versailles a peace of humilia tion and disgrace. "Harden for many yeajs before the outbreak of the war was one of the worst German imperialists, Might-above-right' politicians and war agitators, who helped to create the atmosphere out of which the terrible tragedy grew. Traitor, la Charge. "Harden shares in the guilt for the German defeat because the moment he recognized the struggle inclined toward the entente he began to un dermine the: faith and justice in Germany's cause and break the con fidence and endurance of the peo 1 pie. ' ' "Finally Harden shares the guilt in the Versailles peace of disgrace - because, after the collapse of the .German people he was one of the most jealous advocates of the en tente. He made their wild charges against war guilty' Germany his own and attempted to rob the gov- ernment and the peace delegations tof every moral standing and sup port, avid he strengthened the en- ' tcnte in the belief they could ex tort, from his people and his govern ment everything even to the con fession of sole guilt in the respon sibility for the war." Cost of Coal to Double ' If Workers" Demands Met Washington, Sept. 28. The pres ' 'tht cost of coal to the consumer will be doubled if demands formu lated by the United Mine Workers are allowed, a statement issued by the National Coal association de clared. The estimate of the effect of the demands of the miners said they would add $1,000,000,000 to the cost of coal during the coming year. "The United Mine Workers of . America are trying to hold up the people of the United States for : $1,000,000,000 annual increase in the ': cost of coal," the statement says. "There are approximately 600,000 men employed in the bituminous 3 mines or the country of whom about 400,000 are employed in the union : lized districts. This comparatively small group of 400,000 men is now ' attempting to hold up the 110,000,- . -AAA , 1 1 . e . I T T . , r- , vjuu innaoiiams oi me uraica scales jfqr $1,000,000,000 a year."

At last it was finished and depos ited safely in the oven. I started to clear up the work table, but Katie stopped me promptly. "You know how you help me more dan dis?" she demanded, tak ing the flour sifter from my hand. "I feex dis in vun vot you call heem, shake of vun cow's tail." A Strange CalL But I was not destined to know then what she wanted me to do, for even as I murmured "sheep's tail, Katie," in laughing correction of her idiom, the front door bell rang an imperative peal, and Katie, slipping out of her gingham apron and into the white one in which she always answers the doorbell, turned to me inquiringly. "You see anybody?" "Bring the card to me first," I said resignedly, desparing of ever suc ceeding my painstaking effort to teach Katie the proper lore of the doorbell. "I wil slip up the back stairs, and you can bring the clrd tray up the front stairs to my room. Don't forget the tray." "I no forget," she returned ear nestly. "But sometimes dey no have card." "Then ask the person's name and bring me that," I said patiently. The bell rang again, this time a longer peal, and I felt a swift preju dice against the impatient person on the other side of the front door. As I sped up the back stairs and swiftly rearranged my dress before the mirror in my room I resolved to deny myself to the caller if it were a possible thing to do so. Accordingly, when Katie hurriedly mounted the stairs and announced breathlessly: "It's -a man who says he no geev hee's name, but he got to see you," I rejoined quickly: "Go down and tell him that Mrs. Graham is engaged and cannot see anyone whose name is not sent to her." ' , Katie's face reflected her approval "I no like hee's looks," she whis pered. "He un great, beeg stiff, und I leave heem stand on doorstep vile I coom oop stairs." "You did just right, Katie," I said. "Admit no one to the house who refuses to give his name." - She went downstairs again, this time with evident zest in her errand, while I renewed the task of straight ening my room, v To my surprise the man did not go away. I heard the parley of voices, although I. could not distin guish the words. - Then Katie came slowly upstairs again, her face aflame with indignation. . "Dot bunch of sour greens, he say you see heem mighty qveeck ven you see dis," she said, extending a cheap sealed envelope to me. I tore it open, saw three words in a flourishing chirography as tawdry as the envelope: "Representing M. Stockbridge." (Continued Tommorrow.)

C. L. By WILLIAM TANQUERY. Labor has complete and absolute power to place its finger on the profiteer, reduce prices and hold them down. This can be done by, stabilizing wages, and increasing and standardizing production. Here's the argument: As a general rule manufacturers make a certain fixed and, Under ordinary conditions, equitable profit on the output on their plants. If wages are stabilized, the wage-cost of the finished product will be the same to all manufacturers. If production is standardized, then each manufacturer will get approximately the same amount of product at approximately the same cost of production. Therefore, accepting a fair and equitable profit, the selling price of each manufacturer should be about the same And the one who attempts to exact a higher profit betrays himself like a thief in a spot light. - . All this, howeeyer, is merely introductory to the purpose of this writing, which is to say Xfrat in order tC reduce the high cost of things labor must cheapen production. , y Wages, admittedly high, should remain where they are. The time of low wages, as low as in former years, is past. And higher wages are not possible, under present conditions, without a radical, fundamental and revolutionary adjustment of the relations between labor and capital. With the exception of isolated instances, such as manifested in those few industries now complaining (by current strikes) the wage question has been settled for some time to come. Since the wage cannot be changed, the only alternative lies in reducing the manufacturer's already small margin of profit, or in creasing production to such an extent that the total of the smaller profits on the increased production will give the manufacturer adequate returns. . Labor today is not producing anywhere near what it should for the time taken, energy consumed and remuneration received. Experts of unbiased opinion and competent authority estimate that the average of efficiency delivered by labor today in return for its wage is but 40 per cent of what it should be. An Omaha manufacturer cites the fact that, only recently, he put up a certain iron stack in this city. This stack has Jto be renewed every seven years. This man built this stack exactly seven years ago with exactly the same crew of men, man for man, that he built it with only a few days ago. - , It took 20 hours of labor with this crew to build that stack seven years ago. And it took just 40 hours of labor for the same identical crew to put up the same identical stack this time. Therefore, the builder had to charge more for the erection of the stack this time, but he didn't make a penny more profit. And the labor employed on the job, getting higher wages, didn't profit a penny more than seven years ago, for the reason that other labor employed on the things these men are compelled to buy are doing the samething the stack builders did, getting more money without increasing production, and thus increasing the cost of the articles they make and which the stack builders have to buy. Possibly the stack was built for a bakery. In that case the baker has to charge more for his bread and the stack builders simply return to him the extra money they made, and the stack con tractor profited nothing extra unless he profiteered. What's the answer? " ' The answer is that labor has been listening to the cry of its leaders to curtail production and take things easy. That was all right, justifiable, satisfactory and logical years ago, when there was a surplus of labor; but conditions today are different; they are reversed, and instead of there being a surplus there is a lack of labor. This makes it necessary in order to adjust the resulting differences in conditions for there to be an increased production by the lessened amount of labor that is available. This is not a plea for labor to work itself to death, or beyond reasonable limits, or to give more than it is compensated for. It is a plea based upon the statement that, as a matter of fact, labor is not giving value received and, in spite of higher wages, is giving even less than it did when it was receiving the old low wages of memory. Argument that the manufacturer would take advantage of this "increased production" to keep prices up and slip the extra profits into his pockets, are demolished by the fact that with the assistance of labor the profiteer can be spotted unerringly, and the anti trust and profiteering laws can be and are being enforced. The way to cheapen prices is to cheapen the cost of production. And the way to cheapen the cost of production is to increase production. This is the way to solve the question of the high cost of living. It is the sensible way. It is the only way. C. Hafer Lumber Co.
