THE AMERICAN MULE
Despite Motor Rivals, He Still Holds
His Own in War Department
From the Review of Reviews.l

(From the Review of ReVleWS.)
The mule and the military have beel
born friends since the days of Diver
CromwelI's bitter and bloody CAM
paigns, and most veterans of me
troublesome days of the sixties viii
tell you that Ba aam, in spite of his
resemblance to Bret Hartes Heather
Chinese-in that his ways are dark and
his tricks are vain-he is generally
sure; and, in the language of veter-
an whom the writer questioned on this
subject: "A mule team can pull an
army wagon most anywhere a bird
can walk, and do it three days with
nothing but wheat straw in their bel
lies. But one of them gasoline con-
traptions-huh! you got to build bill
liard-table like roads for EN- to even
run on''-which cOntemptuous estimate
of the motor wagon, while much over
drawn, points out the real cruX of the
problem in America, which is thaction.
The Federal government was very
lation of motor transportation. The
1911 report of the quartermaster gem
eral showed that Uncle Sam is the
owner of just twenty freight-carrying
motor enthusiastically ludicrous
motor equipment for an army the size
of ours, and especially when compared
with the French war departments com
plement of subsidized motor trucks.
And when we hear of a benighted ma
ton like Russia buying 125 motor
trucks in a single order, we are COM
PEELED to realize that our military land
transportation is far below the Euro
pean nations standard of efficiency.
But the fault is MT Uncle Sans en-
tirely Once the manufacturers of
motor trucks satisfy the government
that the motor can mote" anywhere a
mule can, mechanical power for mill
tary land transportation will relegate
the mule wholly to the arts of peace.
The first and final specification of
Uncle Sam is that the motor army wa
gon must run in the words of our vet
eran, anywhere a bird can walk or
where the sure-footed mule would need
tire chains" The greater speed of
the motor is of little advantage for
army service; indeed, it may be a de-
terrent, because the infantry averages
only 1-2 miles per hour-amply slow
for the mule to keep pace with. For
the kind of cross-country work that
prevails here, the motor truck is hors
de combat for the easy pace of our
friend the mule. For traction versatil-
| ity the mule can put it a over" the
motor truck, and hence he viii contin
ue supreme until the motor manufac-
turers overcome its limitations to rel
atively hard surfaces and moderate
grades.

ARE THERE TOO MANY COLLEGES

Ihat there are too many colleges in
the United States with Inadequate
equipment and support, attempting to
give full courses for the bachelors de.
gree; that much duplication of work is
going on, and that there could be
profitable merging of existing institu-
tons to the resultant benefit of the
institutions and the community: these
are differences that may be clearly
drawn from the report of DR.. K. C.
Babcock in the year book of the Com
missioner of Education, just issued.
The problem is particularly acute at
this time in the case of state-support-
ed institutions. Many of the states
have their work of higher education
centralized in the state university or
agricultural college; but in nine states
there are three or more state-support-
ed and state-controlled institution 1t
is in these states, particularly, that
conditions are often found under which
the distribution and subdivision Of
the state as whole has led inevitably
to waste duplication, undesirab COM
petition for appropriations, and cam
paigning for students in order to get
more appropriations
The report comedies that in some
states circumstances demand that the
institutions be distributed in accord
ance with special needs. Thus there is
an obvious advantage in the location
of the Michigan College of Mines and
the Missouri School of Mines in the
mining districts of those states Fur
thermore, Dr. Babcock frankly states
that the waste due to duplication OF
faculty, equipment and buildings is
frequently overestimated. There is
no loss Of economy or of efficiency" he
says, "in carrying on in different p aces
the work of the first year, or the first
two years of a liberal arts course or
work, provided the faculty and equip
ment OF these two years are fully util-
lied.
1T is when specialized and techno-
logical work is begun in the second or
third year of the usual course, when
the services of high-salaried men and
enormously expensive equipment are
required, that the waste and efficiency
of plant inevitably appear"
Considerable effort has recently been
put forth to prevent needless duplica-
ton, both in the case of public and
private institution, but so far little
actual consolidation on the part OF
state institutions has taken place.

FASHIONS IN NAMES
Time Ripe for Return to Marias and
MatiIdas of Miss EdgeWOrth's Day.
(From Scribner's Magazine.)

(FrOm Scribner'S MagaZine)
Fashions in feminine names last too
long. A tyrannical majority of parents
egged on by novelists, have given us 4
surfeit of Betty and Peggy. Who is not
now thoroughly weary of both, associ-
ated though the former be with the
sweetest of buildings? l seize the STRAIT
egic moment to present the claims OF
the excellent, durable, dignified, but
neglected Maria Too long has she
kept sanctuary in the pages of early
Victorian memoirs and diaries. The
time is ripe for her temperance,
along with her buXom' sisters Martha,
Matilda, and the rest of that Edge
WORKMAN family. When women suf-
frage has become fashionab e, it is time
that daughters should be named Maria.
There is variety enough among the
sisterhood or school of Maria to suit
all tastes. Julia and Della have a Sc
date and studious sound; Susan is
bustlingly domestic; Martha and Sarah
are suitable for presidents of woman s
auxiliaries and benevolent societies.
Sophia suits a belle, and Augusta a
chairman of committees. Caro- inc
plays swift game of tennis and is a
daring horsewoman.
With the reinstatement of Maria, ct
alias, had | my Wav tie banished mid
die name should return in favor. A
bevy of unattached but deserving
names would thus come at once into
more frequent use enriching our nom
enclature A few of these, it is true,
belong to no particular school, nave
managed for some time to hold their
own against the monopoly of Betty
and Peggy. Such is the c assic Helen,
and such the Saxon Edith. The char
acter of many of these independent
names which have never herded into
schools has become strong and full OF
personality, fit, indeed, to write in bap-
tism with any of the noble gems OF
Maria.
Occasionally these free-lance names
hunt in couples" Anna and Annie
though near relations, are not congen-
ial. Anna has touch-me-not. air. Her
othes are too nice to be risked IN
any sort of romp or scramble. Anna
will not speak until formally introduce
ed. Annie, on the other hand, IS al
fectionately patronized by her elders
and infinitely accessible to her juniors
AS an aunt she especially shines, ana
if a school teacher she finds her desk
covered with infant offerings OF wake
rabin and pussy-willow.

WHERE THE SPRINGS FLOW

WHERE HE 81 hlNUS FLUN
That Georgia is rich in mineral
springs especial y, as well as in ar
tesian wells and other sources of pure
water, is shown by the recent report
issued by the State Geological survey.
State Geologist McCallie has given
the people of the state some helpful as
we'll as practical information in this
/ volume, of which the Atlanta journal
says:
There is wealth of human as we'll
as scientific interest in a report just
issued by the State Geo ogical Survey
on the mineral springs of Georgia.
| Though the time when the naiads of
early Greece or the Great Spirit of the
Red Man haunted such fountains is
dead and long forgotten, a certain
sense of magic still attends the spot
where strange or healing waters break
through the earth In springs of this
kind, Georgia is particularly rich; and
many of them, it should be stated, have
their legends which run back to Indian
days, while others are still the resort
Of health and pleasure seekers. 1t is
doubtful, however if any Georgian,
however faithfully he may have dely-
/ ed into the wonders and resources Of
his state, has even guessed a 1.-THE Of
the interesting facts concerning this
subject which are now full set forth
for the first time by the Geological
Survey.
The report is a volume of more
than two hundred pages well illustra,
ed with half-tone cuts of some fifty
different mineral springs and also
supp led with a map of the state
showing the location of each individ-
ual spring The Introductory pages
deal with such interesting subjects rs
the history of mineral springs, the
definition and the origin of mineral
waters, thermal springs, the medicinal
value and classification of mineral WI
tcrs, together with their geographical
distribution, their so id and gaseous
constituents and their medicinal e.
feet.
OF particular value is that portion
of the report which describes in detail
nearly two hundred individual springs
in Georgia giving their location, their
facilities for accommodating guests
and also the chemical analysis of their
waters. The report should be verv
useful to physicians in selecting or
recommending waters suitable to their
patients, and to expedite this use
there has been added to the report d
complete table, giving the classific;,-
ton and analysis of each water.

ates in the Survey 1t has been pre-
