WHY THEY HATE DANIELS. J?ec'y Daniels' Ind'ctjaent of the hell makers is something frightful, v.hen you c-otnr to study it. Think of wending1 our navy out with shells which will mt stand the test and which the enemy knows will not stand :hn te.st! It is like furnishing our army with Hour ln--tead of powder for its guns. It is murder, for the -ake of private profit, and hanging rather than mere loss of business would be the punishment more nearly ittinjr the crime. , Of fourtecn-ir.ch sh'-'i f-r our aunted great dreadnaught guns submitted )y the P.ethlehem Steel (Jo., only nine per cent passtl th- test. f the Trudble tel Co.'h hells, al.out thirty-eight per cent passed, nd of the Mldvale C. Shell--, se enty-thi ee per3 cent pa.-.ed. Of the shells submitted by the lladtields of Kngland all p.issed. When the lladfields underbid the American shell uiiker- by something like twenty per cent, and Oaniels favored goin al.ruad for our shells, the Amerian makers set up a great howl. It would "hurt busi-ne-. The American makers miuht hae to uit the manufacture. Daniels was an Idiot. All the old fash.uied whining and threatening usual when a graft cinch ipon easy obi Tncle .'am was threatened came forth. I'.ut Daniels f.;ofl l.y his guns. We repeat that for the ort of resiality that Daniels has exposed, there ought to be some hotter punishment han mere loss of business.

THE WAR OF BATHS. War has broken out between the United States and Mexico, p.ut it isn't the long anticipated military conflict. It's a war of bath". The struggle has reached the stage of bitter retaliation. When Oen. I'ershing withdrew his expeditionary

orce from Mexico, his troops were followed by rt horde

of Mexican refugees. The health authorities on the

northern side of the Illo Gran.de thought it well to

adopt thorough-goine hygienic precautions. The normal ' ' " ' ' 1 ly In the crystal form, which are ir-

Mexlr-an. It appears, is not over-zealous In his ablu- regularly intermixed with globules

tlons. He can take baths, or let them alone, and he or she generally chooses a course of careful, premeditated abstention. The 11 Paso ollicials therefore instituted a drastic cleansing scheme. Kvery Mexican crossing the international bridge was obliged to take a hath, and in most cases it was a gasoline lath. The refugees walled and cursed, but without avail. They had to submit to tjie pain and humiliation of being, for once, thoroughly sterilized. The treatment ra ikied. The "Greasers" meditated revenge. And they are now taking it. Word comes from Juarez that the authorities there have adopted a retaliatory quarantine. Kvery American crossing the international bridge to Mexican territory is stopped and obliged, willy-nilly, to take a bath and be vaccinated, unless he can show a certitlcatp to the effect that he has undergone such treatment on the other side. And inasmuch as Americans generally don't carry hath certificates, it means that every American is subject to the same indignity that the Mexicans have suffered. Sc the war rages. The quarantine may spread. Imagine a double line of quarantine stations stretched all along the border, with Americans and Mexicans mercilessly bathing every enemy they can lay their hands on. Isn't it dreadful?

READING "PROGRESSIVE" DEMOCRATS OUT OF THE PARTY. "What we need is to get rid of the William J. Uryans. the Kirby Kisks. the Jim McGills, and all such diorganiers of democracy, and put the party back on a ood substantial basis ' with all these fads effectively junked." Lemuel barrow, former mayor of I.aporte, quoted in an interview at Indianapolis.

You are mistaken Lemuel. When ou et rid of the William J. Dryar.s, the Kirby Kisks and Jiai McGills ou are retting rid of a good fifty per rent of the demoratio party that silent fifty per cent which aside from i few noisy leaders, have been swallowing their Adams ipples. but still going to the polls and helping to make up the democratic majorities. We hold no briefs for the Kisks and McGills. only we must note that tho :hings that they hae been contending1 for as pioneers, tre coming to pass, and are being put over by the very men who have been condemning them. As for Mr. P.ryan. you can't blame him that Indiana went republican last fall. The "democrats in the saddle' seen to tt that he was kept out of the I loosier state, and so he ;ampaigned in the west; in Nebraska, In Colorado, in Washington. Montana. Wyoming, the Dakotas, and last, but not least. California the states that saved the democratic day. Get rid of Wiliiani J. P.ryan would you the one man :ibove all others w ho kept the democratic party, as a national party, alive from 1 S 3 (S to 1512. and then gave to the party the only candidate in the field who could have won that year, even with the republican party split? indeed, it appears that parties, as well as republics should be "ungrateful to their heroes", if the ex-mayor of Laporte is to be accepted as authority. Eliminating the Hryuas, he would put the party back note that word "back" on a "good substantial basis" of bourbonisiu, we suppose; with the emphasis on the "bourbon". last fall, when the campaign was on the campaign which converted Woodrow W'.Uonfrom a minority into a. majority pr-ident. the slogan of democracy was that it was a "progressive" party, that w;;s going "ahca--" rather than to be "put back". In the face of this success, and of Pres.'t Wilson's leadership, we doubt very much If the majority of democrats will indorse the Darrow -Col. ('forge 1 Iarvey-Marso Watterson. return to "bourbonism" program; thi, even though Indiana has gone "dry" by statute, and "votes for womtn" have been started on their winning way. Democracy needs to be put on a "substantial basis" all right, but putting it "back" by eliminating the

REPENTANCE AND PRAYER. As the result of a call recently issued to all the churches in the Pnited States, by the executive committee of the Association of German-American pastors at Chicago, Sunday, Feb. i .". appears to have been a day of repentance and prayer. The program suggested was; "First, to repent for America's share in the blood-guiltiness of war; and second, t"o call upon God In earnest supplication to hinder and destroy all evil counsel and base machinations which are at work to plunge our nation into the European world war.' This appeal arouses conllietlng sentiments in both Christian and un-Chritian hearts. The GermanAmerican pastors explicitly set forth their conviction

that the Pnited states is "blood-guilty" because it has

"prolonged the war" by furnishing weapons to the belligerents. Thus an old propaganda, which most of u had supposed had tiied out, appears in a new guise. Most Americans indignantly resent the charge thus brought against our nation by these clerical gentlemen. They regard it as right and proper to sell arms to nations taught almost defenseless by the attack of a powerful, fully arined foe. especially when not to do so would be to help that foe. They are not conscious of sin to help unprepared nations to hold out against an enemy who might otherwise overwhelm them, and which threatens to overwhelm the whole world. On this score, America is not ready for "repentance", because America knows of nothing to repent of.

The second part of the program was more worthy. It is a lighteous thing to pray that war may be averted, to "call upon God in earnest supplication to hinder and destroy all evil counsel and base machinations" which might involve us In the war. IJut how many Americans will interpret these words as the German-American pastors interpret them? Will not most Americans think instantly of the policy and deeds of the German government which have led us to the verg? of fighting in self defense? What "evil counsel ami base machinations" are driving us to war, if not the counsel and machinations of Prussian autocracy, the lawless and ruthless destruction of neutral ships and murder of neutral citizens, the denial of ele

mentary rights always heretofore held sacred? Is this what the German-American pastors mean? After all. wasn't their call for repentance and prayer issued to the wrong country?

of air. The light penetrates a certain distance into the snow and undergoes refraction or bending out of its course, as it passes from the particles to the air globules arid from the.-e again to the particles, and thus the waves are sent about in every direction in the snow, and they lind so many totally reflecting surfaces that there is no prevailing absorption of tiny of the color elements of the light, but on the contrary a prevailing rellectlon of all of them together, which produces the effect of whiteness. Tyndall says: "Whiteness always results from the intimate and irregular mixture of air and a transparent solid. A crushed diamond would resemble snow. If we pound the most transparent rock salt into powder we have a substance as white as the whitest culinary salt, and the colorless glass vessel which holds the salt would also, if pounded give a powder as white as the salt itself." Foam is 'white for the same reason, being composed of an irregular mixture of air and particles of transparent water, and thus it reflects all the kinds of light-waves. So, too, a cloud appears white in the sunshine because it consists of air and particles of watery vapor irregularly intermixed. Put. if you take snow and knead it into a ball of ice it is im longer white, because now the air is expelled, and the snow has become a transparent solid, which reflects the light regularly and only In particular directions, depending upon

CLlVMS. I found a thoughtful little clam upon the ocer.n strand. Whose principal activity was sitting on the sand. Said I: "My amiable frien. i nsk. with due respect. How came it you were fitted with so small an Intellect? And has it not occurred" to you that your creator ought To furnish you a somewhat better implement cf thoucht?" He answered with a kindly smile upon his gentle face: "We clams are well supplied with minds adapted to our race. Our shell protects our interests, and thinking is a strain No care(ul clam would lay upon his undeveloped brain. Whatever ills beset a clam, he doesn't run or iK'ht; He seeks the safety of his shell and shuts it fast and tight. "So when your genus homo would create a gclden cage To shelter favored sonny from the perils of the age, Protecting him from labor and from struggle t.nd from strife, And shielding him from all the known vicissitudes of life. How quickly his capacious skull becomes a hollow sham. With but the mild intelligence which nature gives the clam." Arthur Brooks Baker.

NEW LIGHT OX OLD NCOUNDItF.LS. W3 heard about a man today who hoards up food supplies To dole out to the hungry poor, a3 soon as prices rise. "The poor must eat," this person says, "and when oppressed by need, They'll pay me dear for all I have, and make me rich indeed." Wo iwcl to think that Capt. Kidd, vlu sailed the Sjmnlsli main And fol the sharks that oruisod there with the victims ho luul slain, Was something of a pirate ami a person to abhor, The world's most loathsome seounditl but he seems that way no more. We know about another man who'.' made a heap of gold Hy storing coal to sell the poor when winter winds blow cold. "They cannot freeze," this man observes, "and when the chill winds blow I only need to sit and smile and watch my prolits grow!" We fancied ne that Jesse James, who rode from town to town Defylnar laws and robbing- hanks and shooting people down, Wun quite the meanest character we'd ever contemplated, iliut now we think his villainies were vastly overrated.

The idea that a man making $10 a week, and having1 to pay $1! a reek to feed his family, complains of hunker because he is advised to by a German propagandist is about the most monumental idiocy that a rabid pro-Fnglish mind can invent, and that is saying a whole lot.

PEDOMETERS FOR STEP SAVING. At the university of Wisconsin students of home economics are usinsr pedometers to teach them to save needless steps. It is so easy tö take unnecessary steps in doing house-work that most women do so without ever realizing how much harder they are making their day s w o r k . If the pedometer can show up this waste of energv its introduction Into the household will be a boon to all. Having the head save the heeis may sound like a trivial occupation for the head. Unfortunately, tired heels have only too depressing an effect on the head.

Prjar.s. th Kisks, the McGills. etc., will never, get it i m saving them, the head is really saving itself. Long

walks for pleasure and exercise are one thing. Unnecessary steps taken in performing routine tasks are quite another. There's no need for confining the use of the pedometer to housework, however. There are other occupations where extravagance of steps is not recognized as wasteful. A few weeks' use of the pedometer would show surprising facts, and would nrobably lead to valuable economies in physical energy, time and convenience.

there. What the Indiana democracy needs, and this applies to a number of cities, is an awakening to the fact that th . Uryar.s. the Kisks rnd the McGills are standing for things that the people want, and that if democracy doesn't give it to them the republicans s', i.i which case the masses of people will just turn more and more to Icing re publicans. It isn't necessary that there tc any eliminations. There is room in the democratic party for evervbody even the Stephen 15. Flemings. Thomas Hobans. and Col. Joe S'ulllvans. but if

to the surface. You may hold the ice-ball up in such a way that a flash of white liKht will come from its surface at

points w here the reflection is total. ! but there are4no such points distributed through the ball. Where the J reflection occurs the ice acts like a j mirror. If you look into a mirror I

you do not see the glass, or the mercury film that backs it. but only your face, apparently behind it, because in this case the reflection is so perfect that the solid producing it is not visible, but is, so to speak, concealed by the reflection. ,Still, there are circumstances in which snow instead of appearing white shows, or gives rise to. the most brilliant and exquisite tints of blue. This is best seen, according to Tyndall, who made many observations of the phenomenon in his Alpine scrambles, in the linely granulated snow high on the mountains. When a hole is made in such snow with a staff it sometimes looks as if it were filled with an azure vapor. The effect, Tyndall thought, is probably due to a sifting process undergone by the light as it is reflected from side to side of the cavity, the short blue waves finally pre-

i vailing as the longer ones are elimi

nated. He made an interesting experiment to test his idea. Digging a conical hole in the snow, three

feet deep and a foot wide at the mouth, he saw it filled, like a cup, with blue light. Hut when he placed his staff in the axis of the hole, thus cutting off the cross-fire of light from the walls of the cavity, the blue color disappeared, only to reappear, in all its beauty, when the staff was withdrawn. The blue color of the sky Is an example of the effect of the scattering of light-waves. This scattering is produced either by excessively tine particles of dust, or by particles of watery vapor, or even by the molecules of the air itself. In this case the repeated reflections to which the scattering is clue are not made, as in ordinary reflection, from surfaces large in comparison ith the light-waves, but from particles comparable in diameter with the light-waves, and even smaller than some of the waves. The particles that scatter the blue light through the sky, i. e., the upper air, are so small that they act effectively only on the blue waves, which are near the short end of the gamut of light. The longer waves are relatively little scattered, and so an outstanding blue color is the result.
