cal weather forecaster, all sections of
these states will be in the grasp of

Although few records were broken,
the beloW-zero temperature of twen-
ty-nine at Winona, Mimi, and twenty
two at Duluth, seemed unusually Sc
we're owing to the suddenness with
which they came.
Chicago may experience twelve de-
grees below zero weather by tomor-

mercury here dropped to zero and at
8 o'clock this morning, it was four de-

NO TIME TO QUIT.

While the members of the law and legislation
committee OF the Chamber OF Commerce have
grounds for feeling aggrieved over the action OF
the Chamber Tuesday evening, to them now comes
exceptional opportunity to serve the larger good
Of the Chamber Of Commerce and the best interests
Of all the people of the District
The Chamber of Commerce voted against the
enactment Of that particular excise bill known as
Senate bill No. 546l, but il did not 60 on record
against any excise law, is it. credible to be-
lieve that it will do so. While the action Tuesday
may have, technically, taken from the committee
law and legislation the right to continue its study
Of the need and the provisions of new excise law,
II is certainly apparent to that committee that as a
matter Of fact there is a general demand for re-
vision Of excise law, and that the action Of the
Chamber Tuesday is not indicative that the ma
jority Of the members are satisfied with prevailing
conditions
Parliamentary quirks should not be permitted
to obscure the real issue. The time is at hand
when the Chamber Of Commerce WILL in truth,
after full discussion and careful consideration
take some positive action in regard to new excise
law.
The committee on law and legislation has near.
ly completed what it regards as a workable and de-
sirable bill. 1t should not drop the work so nearly
completed. 1t should set example Of constructive
action by the Chamber of Commerce by continuing
to put itself in position where it advise the
Chamber as to what changes are needed in the
present excise law, at the time when the Chamber
decides to consider the question in fair, thorough
and orderly manner

ARTIFICIAL CREATION OF LIFE.

Science has narrowed the circle Of the unknown
to such degree that interest is intensified in that
which has not yet been accomplished. The greatest
of all the experiments yet to be achieved has been
the artificial production Of life. Because Of its
theological as we'll its scientific bearing the ques-
ton has been battle-ground where advocates and
opponents have bitterly contested.
1t is at least safe to say that spontaneous or
artificial generation has never been satisfactorily
demonstrated. Not only the scientists but the world
in general will, therefore, take an absorbing interest
in the announcement that youth of seventeen, a
student in Trinity College, at Hartford, has, by the
use of sulphuric acid succeeded in vitalizing the
unfertilized egg of moth and hatched caterpars.
The discovery of the elixir of life or the philo-
sophers stone would be less surprising and even
less important than this if the facts should be SUBJ
stantiated, on further investigation. The end to
which many of the ablest scientists have been work
ing for generations would have been accomplished,
and the genius of man would have entered into the
very arcana of life. The name of Lewis Bradford
Riley would rank with that of Harvey and Dalton,
and Lavosier. The chemical manufacture of arti-
fetal eggs has become commonplace, but to infuse
into them the vital spark has seemed beyond the
power OF man.
From the earliest times until long after the mid
die ages spontaneous generation was assumed to be
true Aristotle himself laid down the proposition
that every dry substance which produces moist, and
every moist body which is dried, produces living
creature provided it is fit for nourishing them. .
Virgil, in the Georges, gave directions for the pro-
duction of bees even Van Helmont gave special
instructions for the production of mice But these
speculatons belonged to the period before expert
mental science had attained any Importance. Since
biology has become more of an exact science, the
question has been opened up anew. While the pre-
ponderance of opinion has been against it, the pos
sbility of it has been maintained by such men a.
Haeckel and Bastian. Conclusive proof heretofore
has not been forthcoming, however, and authentic
reports of the work of young Riley will be awateC
with the keenest interest

Here's a Book

The writer who breathes truth and
conviction in every line Of his work, and
who is able to tell his stories simply,
just as he saw or heard them, is natur-
ally somewhat In the nature of an
honest man, and therefore hard to find.
Read the book of stories called "A Fall
Guy" the name of the first story in
the book by Brand Whitlock, and then
inquire casually into the political his
interesting bit of information will dis
close itself. Better than ranting, better
than "slum," or social settlement"
work, is the subtle message carried to
the public through the pages of Mr..
Whitlock's book. The most unpleasant
and maddening thing to child Is the
craftily written little story that Con-
ceals a moral, or an educational pur-
pose deep. within Its saren depths, or
which springs one upon the poor little
reader at the very last.
Not for a moment should such an ac-
cusation be made of the book in gues-
ton. On the other hand its chief at
traction Is its frank appeal to the
human side of people, and the straight
forward and highly fascinating manner
in which the stories are told. Whether
the tale be one of politics. war, married
life. a thief, or even of little boy,
throughout runs a deep vein of phiios-
ophy which does not so nauch tell one
what to do as to s&Ve rather to set
one thinking.
The book is composed Of collection
of short stories, and although they
are not connected, interest Is added by
the fact that many Of the scenes are
laid in the little town of Macochee, and
| tell OF the lives of its inhabitants. The
second story, THE Field of Honor,
could have been made into book with
very little effort, but the writer merely
| tells It in his frank and easy style.
The Girl That's Down." Is typical OF

and philanthropic tendencies as no other
in this collection of stories does, There
are fourteen little human Interest
