Is a machine, an automaton. working

Article 252 of the navy regulations
is the paddock. Under this regulation
any officer of the navy or any en-
ployee of the navy department is for
hidden to make public any opinion or
expression concerning any policy or
person in the navy or IN the depart
ment. Under the working Of this reg
ulation let US suppose that certain
officer knows absolutely that the con-
struction of ship is faulty. that the
pattern is archaic, that the craft will
be as perilous to its own crew as to
an enemy. He must keep his opinions
on the subject padlocked. He must
make no public protest. That is the
situation in the American navy and
navy department today.
How does it happen? Red tape.

war Secretary Gideon Welles of the

that no man should command ship
who lacks knowledge of navigation.
Back of this is the old fight Of the line
versus the staff. Line officers are will
ing to take pills from staff officers pro-
vided the latter be competent physi-
clans. but they dislike to take orders
from doctors. They have been educat-
ed to believe that a ships captain
should be able to navigate a ship.

sell new notions to foreign Dations.
Then, some years afterward, our naval
bureaus adopt these innovations after
having seen them in successful use in
foreign warships. This puts American
fighting ships five years behind the
times. Mr.. Reuterdahl declares that
this is so because the bureau system
"as at present constituted insists on
doing all it's work itself except in some
isolated instances. Every little specifi.
cation must be worked out by hu-
reau. The taker of contract in the
navy department cannot use his brains
at all. He must simply follow out these
specifications mechanically"
Coming right on the heels of our glo-
rious fleets departure, these astound-
ing criticisms were calculated to stir
up hornets nest. and they have doue
so. If our battleships, which cost us
a matter of S10,000,000 apiece. are only
beautiful baubles of junk propelled by
steam, of course all of us want to
know it and to know the reason why.
If these deficiencies. granting for ar
gument's sake that they exist, are due
to the naval constructors jealousy Of
the rank outsider. the people want to
know that too. They want to know
just why 1t is that American inven.
tons must be imported from abroad

1t is quite well understood that, in

The closing of the year for the

The guests represented the youth

the feast of reason and Of food were
thoroughly enjoyed The election Of

the election Of Miss Nelsine Howard
as president.

The retiring president. Mr.. n G.
Walker, has the credit for giving new
impetus to the work of the associa.
tion. There comes time in all or.
ganizations when the original store of
zeal comes to low ebb and It is vital
that the fountain of new ideas be
drawn upon to make the effort sus.
tanned. This Mr. Walker did in clever
manner by making the association
sponsor for higher culture. The Tyler
White recital is triumph for Denver.
The introduction into the West of the
best talent of the East cannot but be
an inspiration and the signal success
that attended this recital will give
force to all future efforts through the
confidence gained. The years finan.
cial record has been of the best and
the retiring administration has no re.

Mouth breathing in children is also
frequently caused by enlarged tonsils,
and if after making sure babe so af-
ficted has no cold in the head, the
throat is examined, and swollen or
inf1amed condition shown, then a ply
sician must be called at once.
Another cause for breathing through
the mouth is the presence of adenoids
AS said recently, they are growth
behind the palate and effectually stop
all air from the nasal passage. If al
lowed'to remain they make a most un.
healthy condition of mind, as well as
of body, but their removal is simple
operation, and no mother need dread
it. Such a swelling or growth may fol
low measles or frequent attacks OF
cold.
When there is no stoppage of the
passage and a child still has a tend
ency to breathe through the mouth
the habit should be checked immedi.
ately, even at the cost of punishment.
Repeated instruction to keep the
mouth closed will have some effect,
and to put bandage around the head,
under the chin, in such manner that
the jaw is held up, not only serves as
a punishment, but at the same time
aids physically. Before doing this,
however. a mother must be certain
that there is no stoppage in the nasal
passages.
Mouth breathing soon leads to ca.
tarrh, and after time a peculiar de-
formity of the chest. The child does
not sleep quietly, and is peculiarly
susceptible to Group. When adenoids
are present the physical condition be-
comes even more serious.

itidtiVe Of Court on Wis.
R. R. Commission
Right Of Legislature to Del.
eqdte Powers to Com.
mission on Trial

Milwaukee, Wis, April 1.-THE
Journal this evening says:
A combined attack upon the pow
ers of the state railroad commission
will be made before the supreme
court on April 20 by attorneys for
the four great carrier systems of
the state. The questions involved
are of great Importance and a decis-
ion on them will have wide effect.
This will be the first court to re-
view and pass upon the great ques-
lions involved in the reform railroad
legislation adopted throughout the
country the last few years. The bat
tie was arranged for by the supreme
court justices themselves. they hav-
ing invited the attorneys to argue
these fundamental questions:
What is the scope of review by
the courts of the orders of the rail-
road commission Of Wisconsin, con-
templated in the railroad commits
sion act?'' a
Is it within the legislative power
to confer upon courts authority to
review the reasonableness Of rules
or orders Of the railroad commits
sion?''
What is the true construction Of
the word unreasonable in the said
isection?''
In those questions is involved the
general propositions Of the consti-
nationality Of the law itself and the
power Of the legislature to delegate
authority to the commission. The
very principle of railroad regulation
by commission is in question.

Mouth Breathing Injurious

If an infant does not breathe
through it's nose, do not think the mat
ter unimportant, for mouth breathing.
the only other alternative, is among
the most serious habits little one can
contract, and if continued for any
length of time will eventually UNDER
mine the health. Mouth breathing in
fallibly indicates an obstruction, some
times only slight, but serious trou-
bic lies in the fact that unless the
stoppage is removed the lungs are not
properly expanded, and the obstruc-
tion grows.
b If it is merely a head cold which
causes mouth breathing, drop of
olive oil of the best quality. will be
helpful. This oil should have the chill
removed, but under no consideration
must it be hot. In applying it the
child's head is tipped back little,
and drop is placed in either nostril,
so the softening liquid will reach the
obstruction. This may be done be-
fore the babe is to be put to bed for
the night, and again in the morning
when it is bathed. At the latter time
a soft bit of thin, old linen may be
used to clean the nostrils.
Before removing any of this mucous
let the oil remain for at least five
minutes and then the work must be
gently done. When inserting the cloth
care should be taken that it is not
placed too far in the nose. For this
process ! strongly advocate wrapping
the curved top of hairpin with a
cloth. There is then no danger Of hurt
ing baby or OF going too far into the
nostrn.
