The burnt air-and-gasoline fumes may not be actively poisi noiis. but they cause d'it!i v.lo-n breathed for any length of time, just as do the fumes from a gas or rharcoal stove in a ti'-ihtly close! room. Kvery jK-rson who us'.s any form of gas engine should recognize t Iiis danger. .Most gasolir.e accidents are of a different sort, caused by explosions. Gasoline as a liquid will not explode, liven gasdine vapor by itself is non-explosive. It becomes dangerous when combined with air. The principle of the gasoline engine is the utilization of this explosive power of mixed air and gasoline vapor. Gasoline evaporates rapidly, and a very small amount goes a long way. The Journal of the American Medical association explains that on- gallon of evaporated gasoline may r ndcr -.lU" cubic feet of air explosive. An explosion may result from the absorption of only one part of gasoline a.por to 7" parts of air. And such an explosion, besides blowing up everything in its vicinity, may st the open gasoline receptacle aflame and starts a disastrous lire. All that is needed is a limited match or a gas flame or a spark to s -t off the mixture. Many tire.- are started, too, by people cleari ng gloves or other articles with gasoline. They rub the soiled article, and the friction hrats the gasoline until it takes lire. Such cleaning should be done cautiously, in the open air. A government bureau of mines expert reports that 1,010 persons were burned to death and : : . 1 2 0 were injured from gasoline fires in the year 191.1. The casualties from this cause are doubtless far greater now.

THE EGG-BOILERS THEY ARE THE AMBITIOUS WORKING GIRLS. 'What :;irl.-; and women who work and live alone in largi cities want is a pla- to boil their own ggs. At lea-st. that's what Miss Msther Packard, Californlan, awfiiHtant secretary of th. Consumers' league and investigator for the N w York V. Y. C. A., says. A whirlwind campaign for money brought, in a large amount with the understanding that much of it bo used, to Improve the living conditions of working girls who wer' alone In th city. Miss Packard and Misj Mary In-an Adams spent eight months living in various organized homs and boarding houses, visiting girla who lived in thern, and talking with other qirls who lived In such places. If there'j on place more dismal than a 'home it's a. 'furnished room,' and the one place worse than a ' furnished room' Js a 'home','' agreed the investigators. Many of the supposedly philanthropic "homes" have ruls which aro a burden. They close at 1U:10, and if a girl goes to a theater or concert, or even a public lecture At a dLstance, sh is locked out and has to spnd the night In :my place she can lind open. This i a positive danger. Some few of the "homes'' were pleasant, of course, ami some of th landladies of the furnished rooms were kind. These were the exceptions. The recommendation mad is for "socialize d apartment houses." That Is, buildings with tiny Hats, one room, two or three, but each with its own kitchenette, so thrt tenant can boil her own eggs in omfoi t. There are to bo afeteiias and comfortable parlors for entertaining friends. The girl or woman can have Iter own hone, mnke- it homediko. and bo responsible for her own conduct. This sounds like a real solution of the rooming-house problem.

JOHN BARLEYCORN, DISRUPTER OF FORTY PER CENT OF HOMES. -sjmetimes it Is woman suffrage, in the orations of tho timorous, which is surely going to disrupt the home. Sometimes it is socialism. S'metine-s it is the economic imlependeuice of woman. It used to be the higher education of. women. If a woman knew a little eJree-k, it was going to unfit her for motherhood. (When she gt th it e'angerous education, hho went light out and reduced the infant mortality rate by intelligent care; but what is that to the timorous?) -So many thing's were going to disrupt the home liv?nt dishwashers and baby buggns among them iut somehow, the home as an institution continue to llourish, and ideals continue to come ut of it a.s ixeforft. fuch- homes, however, do manage to ;et disrupted. Ancl the court of domestic, relations of P.rooklyn, X. V., ha tabulated the -a uses which it was able to trace In 191T. John IMrleycorn was an easy first, with 40 per cent of the total number of broken homes. The "other woman" el id 10 it ent of the disrupting, the "other man" two per cont, the inothor-in-la w two per cent. The rest were scattering. Figures ha e a. way of upsetting- prejudices.

UNITED. STATES POPULATION NOW NEARING 102,000,000 MARK. "We have hardly got used to speaking of our national population as 10o.00u.00i. It is less than a year since the census bureau assured us that those rotund figures we re justitiell, and most of us still use them with a sort of mental reservation. And now the census experts assure us that we are already safely past that mark that on Jan. 1. Hir,, there were 101.20S.31 people in the United states, and that on July 1 there will be lOl'.olT.wUl people- in the Tnitod '-ales. It is impossible to think of tia rapidly mounting figures without a feeling of wonder and awe. In ono year we are gaining more than half as many people as there were in the Prated States when the republic was established. Soon we shall be adding the whole population o; our thirteen original colonies in one year and then soon we shall be doubling that. This growth of the nation proceeds with the resistless power of a great force of nature. W'e cannot help becoming ever bigger and mightier. liven if we were to stop all immigration, we should go on multiplying as China has multiplied, ihtntually we shall doubtless have more people than China has today. And those hundre-ds of millions will not be Chinese "human cabbage heads." as somebody once called them. Xo matter how many of us there may be in the future generations, we can't help believing that all - ill have the individuality and power that hac characterized our people from the beginning and a far more resistless collective power. That is what makes the steadv increment of numbers so significant. What will those hundreds of millions do?

LIBRARY BELLIGERENTS COMMON SINCE EUROPEAN WAR. Xearly every day somebody is ejected from the Xew York public libraiy for quarrelling about the war. In Chicago the belligerency takes a different form. Pver since the war began the librarians have- been annoyed by the mutilation of newspapers, magazines, and books dealing with war topics. Occasionally some re-ader. driven to a paroxysm of rage by a war article, will rip a magazine in two or tear out a handful of pages. The foreign newspapers appear to arouse the most wratii. In the early parts of

i the war it was a common thing to find English dailies

torn into strips. Most of the acts of vandalism consist in slashing or pencil-marking offending articles, or in scribbling th

il opinions on the margin. In many

meiits written are indecent.

ONE FORM OP 1NTIIKVIINTIOX IX MEXICO. (Lexington. Ky., Herald. Dem.) For three years and more there ha.- been wide divergence of view vhether the United States should intervene in Mexico. Pres't Taft adopted the easy course of doing nothing, transferring the problem that uictse through the revolution of that s;to--m-stricken country to his sueces-vHtr. Pres't Wilson, while technically not intervening, took the' most decisive form of intervention in his unjustifiable refusal to recognize Huerta. Since that mistake every form of eintrage has been committed, every phase of brutality exhibited, every proof ef a state of anarchy furnished. Yet still we epiestion whe-th-cr we should intervene. The murder of American men, the outrage of American women, the destruction ef American property lias not as yet forced us to reach a conclusion. It is announced in the ne-ws columns of the daily palters, however, that there is a form of intervention that has b?en determined upon by private citizens which will meet the approval o( all Americans, whe-ther they be disciples of the eloctrine preached by Wilson, exemplified by Ryran and made patent by Villa and his bandits, or the doctrine preached by Roosevelt. The method of intervention that has been determined upon is for American physicians, armored in silk and rubber, to combat the epidemic of typhus of which there is now reported to be over a hundred thousand cases. IJy the methods used in Servil to combat the epidemie which devastate that stricken land. American physicians- and nurses will attempt to stop the ravages of this elisease in Mexico. Of the many forms of intervention that have been advocated, and that should long since have been put in force, there is no one, whether he be the most rampant advocate of militarism, or the most consecrated pacificist, who must not approve an intervention of physicians and

nur.-es te combat this disease.

II

would lo well could we send to Mexico an army of physicians, teachers, social workers, to restore those people to health and lead them to light. It were better that if through the years we Could brine them to a standard of civilization and self-reliance that would enable them to work out their own salvation. However impossible this may be at present, however, chimerical is the hope that through such methods there is chance of redeeming that country, the effort being made and financed by private capital and manned by private citizen must commend itself to every one.

nTAYJN; TX COLLEGE. ( Indiana Times. ) One of the chief e.auses for dropping ouf. ut college ts the fact that so many young men and women who enter college are not properly irepared to do colb e work. William H. I'aunce, head of Prown university, in an interesting discussion, of the problem of "staving in collepe." suggests that the big trouble with the average young person is not "how to get into college, " but rather, "how to stay in after he has entered." Some 2T. per cent of those who enter college each year drop out before graduation. In fome large, loosely knit institutions, more than T.0 per c r.t of those entering"

1 leave without graduating. Of

are unavoidable, good reasons. Financial disaster, ill health and pressure of home obligations sometimes intervene to bring the stuelent's college work to an untimely end. Sometimes pernicious friends-hips formed in early days ef college nullify and destroy individual ambition Sometimes it is diflicult for the student to get through because ho is left alone to sink or swim, neglected by the institution that ought to be his next friend. Hy far the most important reason for student quitters in college is the lack of preparedness. The boy getes to college full of life and hope. Hut perhaps ne has not acquired or cultivated staying peivver, no disciplined capacity for attention, no ability to concentrate on his tasks. One of the characteristics of Yuun? America is heedlessness, lack of attention, failure to concentrate. The schools, in the grades and in high school, can not lay too much emphasis cn teaching the' young how to learn. Fortunate is tho child who consciously concentrates and uses his mind attentively and sustainedly in early life. That child is building unconsciously but surely for a worthy future of effectiveness. Unhappy is the hoy or girl who wanders through school and into college without knowing what it meaiw to buckle clown to a task and center attention and thought on the matter immediately at hand for solution. The most brilliant mind, lacking concentration and attention, the disciplined staying power that surmounts difficulties, will be little credit to his alma mater or to himself. Therefore, a special responsibility is put on educators to give to the individual student the counsel and direction that will lead to concentration, to attentive effort and disciplined sticking powers.

rUAMIS PROSECUTOR'S ACT. 1 1 d i t o r Xe w s-Ti m e s : The apparent endeavor of democratic politicians to put something over the heads ami eyes of the rank and file voters to me seems most deplorable, and I believe, is one of tho baiic reasons why democracy has revehed such severe blows in ether part? of the state in its use of unfair methods in gaining votes. Had it not been that friends of Mr. Metzser rallied to his support and threatened to bring the election board to time by recourse to the courts of law, it is probable that tho primary would have been held without anybody fmdlng eut about it until later. Then would come the real rumpus. Mr. Montgomery's action In requesting the edection commissioners to accede to Mr. Metzser's demand-, is praiseworthy. That sort of spirit bespeaks well for a party, while the opposite is truo when those in control seek to play ring-around- throsie with the voters. Iack of harmony often makes party splits which all the honey coated, sugar encase! prom'ses, and sweet words given in promises and pledges, cannot seal up. Play fair, f ght clean, and in the open should be the slogan. MISH AW A K A I) E I OCR AT. Mishawaka, Feto. 18, 1916.

RIVER AX 1IARHOR RILLS. (Hartford. Conn., Pejst.) Give a dog a bad name ar.d he becomes a bad dog. The same is true of a legislative policy. Give it a bad name and it becomes a bad pol

icy. This appears particularly to the river and harbor legislation. This legislation is generally discredited before the country. The cartoonists usually illustrate it by drawing a picture of a pig with both feet in the trough labeled United Stated treasury. The result i that river ancl harbor legislation is about on a plane with, burglary in the popular mind. And yet the river and harbor legislation always contains a very large number of meritorious projects. It is true that the bill is always loaded with certain items which never ought to bo in it for the dredging of creeks which would not accommodate a fleet of row boats and for work on semi-inland waters that have no connection with navigable waters. And many times these item. which find their wa- into the bill merely because legislators are keen to have public money spent In their districts, are left in because the members who have meritorious projects need the veite. of the members who tdmplv have projects. The basic trouble is that the same log rolling estem exists with reference to river and harbor legislation as has always existed with reference to the tariff items have been voted for not on their merits, but tecause by voting for a fehow member's projects a member is assured of hfs fellow's vote and so it sroe on in an endless rhjin. Paver and harbor legislation is not intrinsically evil or bad. but bad and

IDLENESS KILLS. (Cincinnati Post.) Fate is a discriminating highwayman, who plays favorites. It is fate's way to rob most of us of our faculties, our talents and our efficiency as we enter the darker road which we call age. Hut some few of us he exempts from the toll. Sarah Bernhardt for instance. To her was given a great gift. ef which she has been permitted to retain possession. Even after the ordeal of an eiperation, which deprived her of a limb, she returneel to her profession. None of us would marvel if the dauntless Sarah would, after all, defy death, which hovers at her bedside, and return to the stage for another engagement. Perhaps the reason that the highwayman we call fate finds most ef us such easy prey is that we don't fight back. We surrender too readily. In youth we yearn for the time when we can retire from work. We must learn the lesion that it is idleness, not work, that kills.
