AMERICAN GENIUS LEADS. In a rpcfnt .'uldr s in Lon'lon, Sir (Jeor Taih r'i ted with ronsidr r;il)lo pride that British merchant ships ha'l rna-'l" prcat pror-.-5 in the substitution of ful oil for roal. Although h' did not stato fro directly, thr- manner in which lu prrst-ntr-d the farts Uft the inference that the use of oil as a fuel on ships was a movement in which P.ritish Fhip owners had taken the initiative. As a matter of fact the un' of fuel oil has made greatest progress on American shirs, ;t Pacific steamship comXany having ben th pioneer. American genius lias taken the lead in shipping almost ever since the colonies were established. Tho schooner was an American invention, as also was the clipper, which for many years was the most efficient merchant vessel. Because of the repeal of favorable legislation. the American merchant marine was piven a setback about the time the manufacture of steel ships b v;:tn, and flrtut Britain, as a result, rapidly took thf- lead, (liven equality of opportunity so far as governmental policies are concerned, American ship builders and American shir operators will undoubtedly take care of themselves. The substitution of cil for coal as a fuel for ships will mean increased efliciency so far as speed is concerned. Increased carrying capacity due to the savin? f fuel space, decreased expenditure for wattes, and a more attractive means of employment for American labor. The American workmen who refuse to ko down into the hold of a ship to shovel coat will have no objection to operating the burners of a ship usinp oil as fuel. Creat Britain was not slow iii adopting the fuel oil policy of American shir owners. America's principal task now is to place America's shipping en an equality with the shippingof Great Britain. Japan and other nations.

SIGNALING TO MARS. The planet Mars makes one of its nearest approach s to the earth this month, when the distance between us will be ahou? ;..". ooo, 000 miles. Taklnp: advantage- of this reduction of the intervening space, a collepe professor has figured it out that by ascendin? a balloon to a h iht ef r0.000 feet the dwellers on Mars. If the-re lie any. will notice his signals from the balloon, and act accordingly. Judqins by what the professor is quoted as sayinfr. he takes himself seriously in takin.tr this venture so far overhead that it will require a powerful telescope to se him if he mean.; what he says and tries to ascend to the height he has in his mind. To the- avrat:e individual, however, the ordinarv person who relics hietly upon common sense, the prnfesor'.s project ij simply ridiculous, e'omparin? r.O.oco feet with a 3, 000. Od A miles, the ordinary per. (.on thinks the professor mii;ht as well send his signals from the surf. ice of the earth, or even from h l)fttOTT of a well, where, ll i said, a uood view of stars can be obtained even in the middle of the day. But we have er.ouph troubles of our own. In the rather fervid circumstances which keep up ?rapplink; we should seek no messages from a planetary neighbor whose name shrieks of war. Ordinary politeness-, mor over, should suK?est we hesitate until we can fee! assured whether the Martians, possibly ohserin a confusing if eartlily condition? which seems te he ahhccncertir.?. if not elisheartenr,z. ;.re perturb d by any desire whatever to recognize or communicatv with r.s.

IF CITIES HAD THE MONEY. A newspaper "hat anke.l ti h-adn of tovcral citi.s what they would do if they had the money rerrived a s-t of replies that are illuminating as rerrards municipal aspirations. One mayor wrote: "We'd pave and repave city streets, construct sewers, build bridges and pcnool.. install a new fire-alarm system, eliminate grade crossings, provide better collection of garbage and rubbish, increase-- the ray ef eity employes and sc.hoed tachers, construct a new city hall, provide bett'-r bathini: place, tejild drive-ways along the river, rs'ähüsh several public comfort stations and buy land that can be bought cheaply now for future parks find playgrounds." Meist of the other mayors presented less comprehensive programs. Nearly all of them, however, agreed in wanting me. re and better heirnes. schools, paving, water supply and parks, and agreed that if they were out of debt, the first thing they would b would be to get into debt again for these purr oses. A city, like a family, can always ilnd impcratue ues for its moneyf And it Is wdl to look ahead in this way anl decid" what monry ought to be spent for, even when it is not available. Sooner or later, the dreams will b' realized, if plans are clearly conceived and HJt well In mind. It may also be ttaid, eleppite small-minded hleas of "extravagance," that there is little possibility of a city spending too much money on Itself, if the money id spent for the Important things, anil the authorities see that every dollar buys a dollar's worth of improvement. For the community, as for the family, wise and farsighted spemdinff Is more profitable than parsimony.

INl-AND LINERS. Ports on the Great Iakes and on the Mississippi and its navigable tributaries are at last attaining the dignity of foreign seaports. With the opening of lake navigation a big fleet of "Inland liners" is being put into operation. It consists, to begin with, of ä7 rargo-carrler:. inelud'ng 10 steamers and 47 capacious barges, with headquarters at New crk. They enter the Lrkes bv way of the New York liarge canal from-the Un ison to Buffalo. Thence they h.ve access to the commerce of the whole middle west and much ef the r.orthwrst. Similar carriers are expected soon to utilize the Mississippi system. There is water com-r-unication already between the Great I;Uei an 1 tnc Mississippi, and it will not be long im U they n- joined by a eanal accommodating the largest lake vessels. The steamship? and barges embraced in '.lie fleot noiitioned above will have their foreign-boun 1 car--;-ks transferred to ocean liners at New YorK. There ar many ships entering the Iake?, hnwev.r, thit are genuine liner-;, anel merely make their Lake 'i p one leg of their Atlantic voyage. Tt is a promising develorment, not only for our foreign trade but feer the domestic trade between air interior anei the eastern seaboarel, which is steadily gaining in volume . cost ami difficulty. These water carriers offer welcome relief to the crippled railroads, and at the same time offer relief to the publlc. By their means heavy frefght bound east er west can move more freely and at lower cost. At a time when railropd rates, alreaely burdensome, are scheduleel for another big increase, there is unusual Incentive to realize the possibilities of this water traffic. Thus the very necessity which occasions it may prove to have been a blessing.

ADIEU I SALT HORSE! Salt pork, commonly known to the men of army and navy as "salt horse." is no longer to have v plac-; on navy bills of fare. An order has been sent cut from headquarters that no more salt pork shall be bought, "out bacon and ham subst'tuted Instead Anyone who has heard returned soldiers or sailors eliscourse on the subject of their meals will rejoice that this ancient anel. as Kipling puts it, "more or less honorable" article of diet has been supplanted by something that the boys will like better. Great progress has been made In the last few years in preparing meats and other foods so that they may be kept and transported with little difficulty. Surely the boys who go far by land and sea in defense of their country deserve to reap the benefit of this improvement. When the new methods of food preservation now being perfected In Washington are satisfactorily completed, there will be no need for salted feods to take so large a place in the diet of the traveler or explorer. This will be of direct benefit from a health standpoint as well as from that of palaMbility. If. in sfite of wishes and prayers, there m'jst still be more fighting beforo this world knows final peace, it is at bast a comfort to know that the warrior's bill of fare will be he-tter than it used to be.

M AX l.l SS NAVY COMING? ( Columbus .Journal.) Thai there is a deep cause in what may be termed "radical" actions of men under conditions which it is not dithcult to measure is shown with startling clarity in the d sertions from the l'nite-d States navy during 191 'J anu the few months of the current year, list ytar there- were apprtximately ",000 dc-:-eitions. and this year the ratio is still higher, with no indication that the end is in sight. Whether this means that within a comf arati ely short time the naval vessels will be manles is something those' closi r to the facts must answer. Added to the desertions of enlisted men is the more striking fact that a large proportion of the naval -tficers are about to resign. From the navy department the only explanation is in one word, "pay." The .n'is.ted men who are volunteers through sheer patriotism and enthusiasm for the maintenance of American naval traditions cannot b? placed among those condemned offhand as lacking in American motives. Nor (an this charge well be sent against th- otboers who find themselves thrust away from their chosen life vocations by circumstances which they cannot influence, much less direct. Put in th- raw. this means that when the economic pressure becomes strong enough all other considerations, ä ideal, fall away. And these are not the men to e ac used of disloyalty. And yet they tot only l'i. ..ose to have the duty they voluntarily assumed, but do in a manner which subjects them to humiliation, stigma and severe punishment as a finale. When men dare all this there can be no doubt that something is amiss in our scheme of things. whatetr our purposes and intentions.

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

WORK. The Hun is a desperate .slave to tho brew; To the "whuskey" the Scot is a Prey; The Frenchman would part with his uttermost sou For a liter f absinthe frappc. The Ven-hok enmeshes the heathen Chinee; The hookah debases the Turk; But the acme of awful addictions to me. Is the hideous habit called work. It snatches a man from Ids family anei wife. Unheeding their heart-rending sobs. And brutally binds him the rest of his life Te low occupations called jobs. Its victim, once caught in Its terrible grasp. Forever continues Its slave. Until, with a final and pitiful gasp. He goes to his rest in the grave. Though often, like Birds of the air. I aspire To fly from the wearisome town. And haste to the- goal of a lofty desire. Base work's sodden hand hears me down. I fain would be wading some murmuring broeik Afar from all trouble and care. Where troutlets will greedily snap at my hook. But work keeps me chained to my chair. Beware of this monster's insidious wiles. Be warred, gentle reader, by mr: Resist the temptations by which it beguiles A man from his right to bp free. It will nip you in bud, it wirl wilt you in flower, Your manhof)d and strength overcome: You will never be safe rm s kr rible power. Till the nations suppress it like rum. (Copyright, 1920.)

"Whether Shakespeare's loveiy heroine of "The Merchant of Venice" was an improvement upon Jessie as shert or Janet, or was really the feminin' of Jesse, the father or David, is open to conjecture.

And sweet is the lily at evening close; But in the fair presence o' lovely young Jessie. Unseen is the lily, unheeded the rose." (Copyright. U150

TUIISDAY. APRIL 20. While the astral forcos are not in powerful oferatiem a-cording tj the astrological interpretation, yet the day may be one of trilling tares anel annoyances, both in the business world and in the deiraestic, social and affe-ctional circles. The principal menace in this direction will be found in the parallel position of Sol and Saturn tending to thwart, chill, delay, disappoint and make sullen, morose and despondent. The reaction from this astral influence may be found in a low physical condition, consequently the health should be of the first consideration. Peculiar domestic conditions rule under an adversely placed Venus-Uranus aspect. Those whose birthday it is may have a year of small cares and worries. They should pay particular attention to their health. A child born on this day should be trained in oj -timism and pood nature.
