NO PANIC AFTER WAR
Financial Writer Says Ideal
tesque Absurdity.
In its fina.ic.al review and forecast.
the New York bun dismisses as a gro-
esque absurdity the argument that
seace in Ku.ope will have a disastrous
effect on American business. The Sun
says:
while general business has main-
tained an unchecked peace despite the
difficulties cffered by shortages of ma-
terial, by high prices and by the
doubts of tlre future always incidental
to a time of war, the stock market
Las been coming to more or less a
standstill. :
At auy rate the movement of that
sensitive register of fact, opinion and
Sentiment of conditions and prospects,
has been halted or held within nar-
row limits. :
Our Mexican engagements have ex
arcised a material influence in this
respect. I may be said of the Mexi-
can affair that its worst probable up-
shot can only conduce to a wider and
more influential public appreciation of
the kind of a world we live in.
Of more long range and abiding
consequence was the emphatic direc-
tion of attention tu the subject of
peace in Europe and its' economic is-
sues as something for the stock ex
change immediately to reckon with.
So far as Wall street is concerned.
the notion that financial and business
interests are tied. through the stock
market to a war time prosperity can
be dismissed as a grotesque absurdity.
Misrepresentation of Wall street
could go no further than in the sug-
gestion that the stock market will
feel acute alarm over the approach
of peace, unless it is unmistakab'—
the wrong kind of peace, which
obviously heralds itself as only a
truce.
Meanwhile the war’s end is not in
sight.
MUNITICN WORKERS ILL
Stricken After Partaking of Mea' at
Dayton Plant.
About 150 employees of the Record-
Is Gro-
ing and Computing company of Da; _
ton, 0. most of them girls, wer»
stricken with a mysterious illness
shortly after they had reported for
work.
The concern is engaged in the man-
ufacture of munitions.
More than 1,500 employees had their |
dinner and supper at the plant. Food
not consumed during the noon meal
was warmed over and served for sup-
r, employees assert. The fact that
only a small portion of the employees
got sick leads to the belief that some
one attempted to poison the entire
food supply and was interrupted.
SCHOOL CASE IN-COURT
Rochester Principal Ordered to Rein-
state Suspended Boy.
An interesting case, involving tbh-
right of a school principal to suspera
ndefinitely a pupil will be heard be-
fore the Beaver county (Pa.) court or
Wednesday.
Upon a petition of J. B. Shumaker
of Rochester, a writ of mandamus ha:
been issued directing the seven Ro-
chester school directors, William S.
Taft, superintendent, and Stanley Q.
Fowler, principal, to reinstate Wil-
liam Shumaker to classes.
Shumaker, it is said, threw papers
on the floor and when directed by
Principal Fowler picked them up, but
was refused admission to classes.
SLAYERS OVERLOOK MONEY
Killed Man to Rob Him, and Fail to
Find $2085.
George Krysko of Argentine, six-
teen miles north of Butler, Pa., was
found stabbed to death and lying in
the snow on a road between Hilliard
and Argentine by a sleighing party.
Dr. McClelland of Hilliard, who
was with tbe party, placed the body
in the sleigh and drove to Krysko's
boarding house.
Robbery evidently was the motive
for the attack, since it was known
that Krysko usually carried several!
hundred dollars. Krysko wore two
pairs: of trousers. In the pockets of
the under pair, unobserved by the as
sailants, was found $205.

tempt at Murder Over Girl.
The home of N. Kennedy, an Italian,
near Hillsville, Pa., was dynamited
and some of the occupants were in-

old daughter of Kennedy are the prin-
cipals. Recently Locissanio was told
by Kennedy that the girl was too
young to marry and it is alleged that
Locissanio became angry and made
threats, Locissanio was arrested.

their
Chance
Can’t expect the children to stand high in their classes
unless they get their lessons done properly. And they
can’t do night study without proper light.
The best light to study by is that which beams from a
Rayo Lamp filled with slow-burning Atlantic Rayolight
Oil. It gleams soft, white and mellow — doesn’t flicker.
It's a wonderful light for studying. Won’t strain the
children’s eyes and so they study the better. And they |B
learn the quicker.
And you’ll sew with less effort, and father will enjoy his
paper the more if you keep the house generously lighted : : |
with Rayo Lamps. Ey
Rayo Lamps are handsome —add to the appearance of
any room. They're easily cleaned and last a lifetime.
Your dealer can show you a full assortment of Rayo
Lamps priced from $1.50 up. But to get the best light
from a Rayo Lamp, you should burn
ATLANTIC
That's the kerosene that neither smokes nor smells, that burns
brightly and yields a great heat, but always at a low cost; use it
in every lamp in the house, in your heaters and in your oil stoves.
Atlantic Rayolight Oil is the one kerosene you can ask for by name
—that never varies in quality. And so it is especially desirable for
domestic purposes —for polishing furniture, for keeping away
moths, for removing rust and the many other uses hundreds of
housewives tell us they have found for it.
Ask your dealer for ATLANTIC RAYOLIGHT OIL by i
name, you can buy it at any store that displays the sign: 1
