Newspaper Page TextNation Is to Fight the Loan Sharks fi!?-1 fix WOT AWUIP 01 WASHINGTON. The loan shark in his arrogant disregard of human rights continues In most cities to ex act unreasonable tribute from the wretched men caught In his net Lead ing newspapers throughout the Coun try have constantly denounced the business of making small loans upon the security of pledge or mortgage of personal property or assignment of wages. Drastic laws have been in voked in many states against it So cieties have been organized to protect victims from, unjust practices, but the press accounts are soon forgotten by all save the unfortunate cllentB of the money lenders, and the campaign to remedy the conditions surrounding the business has been marked by years of fruitless struggle. . Laws are constantly and uniformly evaded, Ignored and defied. The gov ernment officials and legislators have repeatedly announced their firm in tention to drive the loan shark out ol existence, but still this blot on oui civilization remains. The many unsuccessful attempts tc legislate the usurious money lendei out of existence have shown one thing very clearly, that a law that comes between the unscrupulous man who has money to lend and the man who wants to borrow cannot be enforced until an agency is established to sat isfy his need at a lower cost Recog nizlng this fact, philanthropic men in nearly twenty cities, content with a reasonable return upon their invest ment, have organized remedial socie ties to make loans at the lowest rates of Interest practicable to deserving people upon security of personal prop erty pledged or mortgaged. Briefly stated, the programme of the remedial loan movement includes the organization In all cities of competl tive loan societies of a social nature in the pawnbroklng and chattel loan fields; the establishment of co-opera tive associations for savings and loans among employees, supplemented by the investment of honest capital on a reasonable money-making basis. In all states legislation will be sought chiefly to facilitate this competition Sent "Happy New Year" to the World A MILLION miles of telegraph and cable wires throughout the world were thrown open to the tick of a Bldereal clock in the Naval observa tory on the heights overlooking Wash ington at the moment 1911 changed to 1912 and Uncle Sara through them called his "Happy New Year" to all the world. Every city and hamlet In .the nation, the ships at sea, travelers to foreign lands were informed at the moment that the nation officially an nounced the arrival of , Time's new span. Yet the plain-faced old time piece merely swung its pendulum as might any such on an obscure mantel and knew not the import of the mes sage It sent The tick of this clock heard as New Year's eve came to an end Is the mes sage of them all that extends furthest of all those sent since the world be gan. It is flashed out from the Naval observatory at Washington each year. As the seasons pass the extent of its reach is increased and that of this New . Year's night was greater than any of its predecessors. It was ticked oft to Nome, to Rio Janeiro, to Shang hai, to Cape of Good Hope, to London It informed the lonely operator at a wayside station In Arizona that th New Year had arrived at Washington. It carried the message to the farming town in Iowa and to waiting thou sands In Boston. This message awakened a spark of enthusiasm In the breasts of those banished to the lonely Island of Guam to learn that It was New Year back home. The men of the fleet and the ocean craft far out at sea pick up its message and rejoice. All these wires and cables and cur- rents of the air respond automatically to the ticking of this plain old clock at the observatory, which clock Is the official standard time regulator of half the world. Uncle Sam's Navy Holds Second Place EXPERTS in the construction bureau of the United States navy point out the fallacy of the statement published broadcast that Germany will hold sec ond place among the naval powers, supplanting the United States, when the ships cow being built by both na tions are completed. After reviewing the difference in tonnage, which is not largely in favor of Germany, a compe tent naval expert says: "Taking the present and the future into consideration, the present su periority of the United States, as sec ond in the world, continues because our superiority consists In the fact .jat of all ships of the same displace ment we have more guns available for fighting on the broadside. The Florl da, which is of about 22,000 tons, can bring to bear on the broadside ten 12 Inch guns. The German dreadnoughts of the same displacement can only bring eight guns to bear. - ' "Now this represents the fighting value of the two navies and Is actual ly 20 per cent in guns ahead of Ger many as against Germany's ten per cent of tonnage, which really means nothing as a factor In fighting. "Germany has not yet awakened to the fact that Great Britain began to follow us in broadside arrangements about three years ago. The kaiser's empire is still behind in the main ele ment "They have only recently started to build 12-inch guns and we are build lng 14-inch rifles. Old Panama Landmarks Are No More MANY villages on the Isthmus of Panama Intimately associated with the history of the stirring buc caneer days are soon to disappear forever beneath the surface of the vast artificial lake which is now slow ly filling up between Gatun and Mata chin. These places were known to Euro pean civilization many years before Jamestown was settled or Massachu setts Bay was an English colony. Now they are little more than Jungle ham lets, and nothing of value will dis appear when the rising waters of Lake Gatun blot them out of existence. The Canal Record gives a list and short historical sketches of some of the vanishing villages. Heading the list is the old town of Gatun, which is already practically covered by eighty feet of rock, earth and water, and other places destined to disappear are Ahorca Lagarto, Barbacoas, Calraito, Matachlna, Ballamonos, Santa Cruz, Crus de Juan Galgo and Crucea. Some of the inhabitants believe the Inundation will not take place, and one old bush settler, after having ig nored repeated warnings, ventured his opinion that the Lord has promised never again to .flood the earth. New rainfall records were estab lished on the isthmus of Panama Nov. 28 and 29, .according to reports Just received here. At Porto Bello about 2.46 Inches of rain fell In three min utes. The total for that shower was 7.60 inches. The highest previous record was three-quarters of an inch of rain is five minutes in 1908. Nearly. Church Is he an eligible widower?

Precept and Practice. "Do you wish to go to church this evening?, Fa'er is going to preach, you know," the minister's fair daugh ter asked. The young man considered. "Um.

OF MISERY How Mrs. Bethune was Re stored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. Eikeston, Mo. "For seven years I suffered everything. I was in bed for four or five days at a time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I had cramps, backache and headache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or have anyone move in the room. The doc tors gave me medi cine to ease me at those times, and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband's told him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound and what it had done for his wife, I was willing to take it Now I look the picture of health and feel like it, too. I can do all my own house work, work in the garden and entertain company and enjoy them, and can walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the week. I wish I could talk to every suffering woman and girl, and tell them what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me." Mrs. Dema Bethune, Sikeston, Mo. Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has helped thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irreg ularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means have failed.
