VETERANS' RELIEF NEAR. Passage by the senate of the Sweet bill brings almost to realization much, desired consolidation of governmental agencies for tbe relief of World War veterans. The veterans' bureau, which tbe bill authorizes will take over the activities new distributed among the war risk bureau, the rehabilitation division of the board for vocational tralniug, and the part of the public health service commissioned to treat sick and disabled exservice men. It is designed to co-ordinate a group of services which never should have been separate and the effect unquestionably will be to facilitate disposition of cases that in the past have been buffeted about from one post to another in decidedly inhumane manner. With the veterans' bureau functioning we shall have established machinery for the tender care of our necegsltious soldier boys who have just claims upon the government for relief and assistance. It vill swiftly remove a condition which has grown Into national scandal. Then Americans can hold up their teads when they face one of the men who fronted the Germans for our benefit and salvation, for the country will be discharging a sacred obligation according to promise. The amendments which the stnate wrote into the bill that was sent over from the house are not of a character necessarily to occasion long debate in the conference committee whose duty it will be to resolve the differences. The conferees should assemble with determination to expedite transmittal of the bill to the president, who is certain to sign it and promply take the Bteps necessary to carry out its provisions, which make for a wholesale sweeping away of red tape which has interfered with the performance of a national duty. We never can make amends for past neglects but we can Told such faults in the future.

A DEADLY HABIT. Old and keen observer remark that one habit of the budding motorists, if fairly established, never leavef its victim until he finally landa in the morgue. That is the habit of passing or trying to pass whatever carlhappen to be ahead on the open road. Men familiar with the psychology of nictor car driving will tell you that it ie tbe worst of all the man bad habits the new driver. can pick up. Other undesirable practices may be outgrown, according to the oldtimers and psychological researchers. One by one road mannerisms may be drilled out of the offending driver. But the mad desire to pass everything on the road gets everyone who picks up the habit. Tbe driver who wants to get ahead, who "pulls arcuud," Is "urged by that incurable impulse against which old-timers warn all new pilots. The only way to safety so far as that is concerned is to resrt'ain the first promptings. Don't make a start at it. Keep in line with traffic and take your turn with all the others. Why endanger your own life and the lives of others all around you for the momentary -satisfaction of passing the car ahead, or two or three cars ahead?

THE BUDGET IN OPERATION. Standing by itself, the $112,512,628 which Budget Director Dawes thinks the government can save this fiscal year through the practice of ordinary economy, is a tidy sura. In contrast with the tctal appropriations of approximately 14,000,000,000. it is not much. But as a promise of retrenchments that will be possible In succeeding years it looms very large. Mr. Dawes' estimates, as reported to President Harding, are complete justification of the innovation which this administration has introduced. There is before us no complete analysis of the con templated savings but it is to be concluded from the de tails published that the economics will be effected in large degree by elimination cf "dead wood" from depart ment personnels and the abolishment of unbusinesslike practices which add enormously to governmental ex penres. Not all the leaks can be closed Immediately, but in tle preparation of the next national budget provision can be made for stopping losses through reorganizations of departmental machines on modern lines. That being accomplished, the people may expect a reduction of gov ernment expenses far greater than the $1,000,000 a day which ex-President Taft estimated some years ago might be saved through the introuuctiofPof better ni u sine ss methods at Washington. The law today protects a great many situations and practices which Bhould be dispensed with. Congres alone has the power to make the necessary c!in-??? It cannot act on large scale without detail information of what should be done. This will be assembled by Director Dawes and his assistants and be ready for the law makers when next they take up the annual appropriations. A good beginning has been made. Results of vast importance to the people are assured when Director Dawes Is in position to cut as deep into expenses as is necessary to establish healthy business conditions In tbe government services.

LITTLE imprere meat ha been made cpom musical strings tine the days when the ancient harpist tuned his lyre with animal thongs. From the beginning the impact of the bammer or tbe plucking sound of tbe string or the noise of tbe mallet on dulcimer strings was louder than the sustained tone following. "This same defect remained im the clavichord a ad harpsichord and in the old-fashioned squara piano," says Mr. Frank Baaeltes, Vice Presidtsat, American Steel sad Wire Company. "Tbe piano makers up to that time thought it was necessary to have a very bard wire of high tension, but it ha been proven by our acoustic engi

neers that a softer wire having sufcient tension strength without extreme harshness a quality of toughness and a higher elastic limit produces no iahsnnonics when drawn to a tension of about 100 pounds, and this results in a better sustained tone than the sounds derived from tbe harder, stiffer wire, which in order to prove effective had to be drawn to a tension of ovar 500 pounds. "The result of the adoption cf this wire is a tone whose composition is such as to be grateful to the ear and which has come to be knows as the American tone. "American pianos are now the standard of the world owing to this mallow tone au&litv "

S To what classes do cattle belong Ans. They are classed as teef, dairy and general purpose breeds. 7 What does too much water do to the soil? Ans. It prevents roots from penetrating deeply, makes the soil cold and weedy and excluded air. 8 What are bacteria? Ans. Bacteria are the smallest and simplest of plants. They consist of a single call and multiply rapidly, reproducing In 30 or 40 minutes. 0 Why will a suction pump not Taise water more than 30 feet? Ans. The pressure of the air is about 15 pounds to the square inch and this pressure Is only great enough to raise a column of water 30 feet. To raise water to a higher level additional devices must be used. 10 "Where are cloudbursts roost frequent? Ans. In equatorial regions.

Annual Rainfall. There has been recalculated" from recent data the amount of rati) annually falling upon the earth's sur face. It Is found that It is equivalent to a layer water of the uniform depth, for the whols globe, of? about S5V& Inches. The amount falling on the land is equivalent to a uniform depth of 2Q Inches, Considering only the land which Is drained by rivers flowing Into the sea. It Is calculated that only 30 per cent Is returned to the ocean, and that the rest Is removed by evaporation.
