Balmy Spring to
Winters RiOOr

The balmy spring weather,
which has prevailed for some
time past was replaced by win
rigor the first Of the week,
about three inches Of snow fall
ing during Sunday night, which
melted considerably during Mon
day. Tuesday morning our people
awoke to find themselves de-
claring that the bottom must have
dropped out of the thermometers,
and several rushed to the local
weather observer to find out just
how cold it was, two declaring
that it must be away below
zero. When told that the govern
ment thermometer registered
eleven above, as the minimum,
they declared the thermometer
must be wrong!
The sudden change from spring
to winter, made the need Of extra
wraps the more noticeable, but
the mercury in your Uncle Sans
thermometer at Estancia has
never gotten very close to the
zero mark this winter, and has
a tendency to keep as far away
as possible. Towards the foothills
the snow is reported much deep
er. The precipitation at Estancia
was thirty seven one -hundredths
of an inch. Tuesday night and
Wednesday the weather was un-
settled and had not decided
whether to drop another blanket
or not.

PROPER WAY TO DRIVE NAIL
Expert Carpenter Gives Some Po'nt- CTS as to This Seemingly Simple
 Proceeding.

Tt takes an apprentice full year to learn that he does not know how to drive a nall" said an expert carpenter. "When once he has realized this 1t is only a matter of few minutes to learn how 1t should be done. The commonest mistake is the belief that a hard blow with the hammer Is more effective than several little taps, ana the learner is inclined to admire the man who drives a nail all the way m with but one blow This Is where ne Is wrong; four or five blows are much hotter than one. The reason is that one hard blow inevitably makes the nail rebound. ever so slightly. 1t is true. but enough to make 1t hold less firmly than it would if driven in gradually. The nail may be driven alrrost all the way with one blow. but
 taps are necessary to

The Child as an Asset.

There is undoubtedly very grave problem connected with the birth rate. The church in past times furnished a religious motive for large families, and this tended to counteract the natural tendency of the birth rate to decline from economic causes as the period of infancy came to be prolonged in an advancing civilization, says a writer in the Springfield (Alass.) Republican. If the religious motive be destroyed. the economic forces making for fewer children must enjoy freer scope, and as the cost of living rises and the financial burden of rearing and edu- eating children through .as long series of years becomes heavier for the aver age parent to bear the scare over race suicide is likely to be the more pro nounced. Making the child, however, once more a pecuniary asset of the parents at a tender age would be sui. cidal to civilization itself.

Set Sensible Fashion.

Queen Alexandra of England is cred ited with having been the means of emancipating English and American children from many foolish and un- comfortable fashions. At the time of her marriage to the heir of the English throne children in fashionable families were rarely seen outside of their nurs- cries. but when the young Danish prin- cess began to keep her children about her and to have her picture taken holding them in her arms the fashion changed and devoted motherhood be- came the hallmark of American and English smartness. She also had her sons clothed in comfortable sailor suits and her two daughters, the pres ent queen of Norway and the Princess Victoria, were allowed to wear the loose wooden jerseys which are now so much worn by schoolgirls.

The Airshlp in War.

Defense in warfare usually keeps pace with the attack, and already spe- cial artillery is being designed to cope with the airship peril. At the worst an airship could only carry out an annoying exploit. The risk, however, is great enough to make 1t advisable that the next Hague conference should turn its attention to this subject. Man kind may. perhaps. discover solidarity enough to decide that the last of it's great discoveries shall be innocent.

TRAIN CHILDREN FOR FARM
Good, Why Not Include Teach ing of Agriculture?

Prof. Paul Hanus of the Harvard summer school told 300 teachers who are students in the school about the need of the trade school as an exten- sion of the public school to save mil lions of American children from the calamity of starting in life as un- skilled laborers. Starting so, the pro lessor said. means no career.
 "All their lives they must be under lings, except in rare instances" The same day or the next, Secretary VIII son was saying In Washington.
 While the population of the United States has been steadily increasing through the usual additions at home and from immigration. the cultivated area of the country is decreasing. Thousands of acres formerly raising products that made the food of the country have gone back to pasturage. The farmers simply cannot get the men to raise crops"
 It Is by no means a bad idea to teach farming to some of the prospec'
  the east at any rate. the farmers boy is apt to see his best chance in learn ing to be some sort of mechanic. Skilled labor Is everywhere needed.
 The problem for the boy of IA or 15 who expects to work with his hands Is to give him the skill to work to ad' vantage. To that end the experts in public education now advocate the es' tablishment of trade schools to give a vocational training to children who now leave the public school at l4. Very we'll: the plan looks good. But please include farming in the voca- tions for which training is to be gwen and try to make that look better as compared with the rival employments' -Harper's Weekly.

A Miracle of Science.

Aeroplaning is another miracle of practical science-another impossi- bility shown to be possible-another dream of centuries realized but real ized in a manner which none but this generation could have understood. Will the history of the steam locomo- tive repeat itself? The actual maxi mum speed on railways is no higher to-day than it was 60 years ago, though. of course, the train loads are very different Will it be so with the aeroplane?
