Our Ailing Assembly.

The State of Illinois is greatly in

medicine. but II the people are de-
pending upon the legislators to adj
Tinister the treatment, we fear they
are doomed to bitter disappointment.

The Commission Form for States, but

create their own laws, is not in eff

are given the right to initiate law.
proposing the commission plan OF
government for the state, it will be
many years before the present cum
bersome method is eliminated, pro-
vided men OF the caliber of the pres
emit legislators continue in office.
The people OF Illinois have never
heen able to get anything OF real inn
portance to the welfare from the
General Assembly. They have
thrice demanded the submission OF
the proposed amendment providing
Tor the initiative and referendum
and although these demands have
been made in no uncertain terms
the proposition is in danger Of be-
ing shelved in the interests of ring
of big cineh business men of Chic ago
and elsewhere, who do not wish the
voters to have the power to create
laws which the legislature may re-
fuse, or power to veto undesirable
legislation.
The Illinois General Assembly has
been ignoring the will OF the people
for years and will not grant them
any power that viii menace the
The Assembly, conscious
Iof its many sins and falling,
fears to c1othe the people with
the right to make or 1inmake laws.
The legislators have reasons to fear
that the people would legislate them
lout of existence, which would be
very bad for the legislators and very
good for the state.
Our General Assembly Is not
| greatly concerned in granting the
demands of the people, whether
they are emphatic or not. The leg
lislators are mainly concerned In the
building up and the maintaining Of
"a strong political machine, which

WHAT IS HORSE. POWER?

Among many engineers, SAYS "Power,"
there arises discussion rs to the incidents
surrounding the origination of the term
horse power as applied to the steam engine.
The following quotation from "Farey on
the Steam Engine" published in 1927, will
be welcomed by many:
The machinery in the great brsweries
and distilleries in London was then moved
by the strength of h0rses. and the prop i,~
tors of those establishments, who were iii St
to require Mr.. Watts engines, always in
quired what number of horses. an intended
engine would be equal to.
"ln consequence, Mr.. Watt made some
experiments on the strong horses employed
by the brewers in London, aud found That
a horse of that kind, walking at the rate Of
q miles per hour, could draw T5O pounds.
avolrdupois by means OF u rope passing over
a pulley, so rs to raise up that weight, with
q vertical motion, at the rate Of 220 feet per
minute. This %exertion of mechanical power
Is equal to $4,000 pounds or 528 cubic feet
OF water raised vertically through u space OF
one foot per minute, and he denominated
1t q horse power, to serve for a measure of
the power exerted by his steam engines"
This estimate IS much beyond the capaci-
ty OF the average strong horse. Smeaton,
and other early engineers estimated that
22,OOO pounds per minute was more aecur-
ate.-OuYook, 1st NoU.

any sddierly or even manly virtue, driven
into the battle by whips, bnt an army of the
best soldiery, which could be overcome only
by the union of the brave fighting of the
mass of the people with the strate9ical guild
ance of generals who had not been surpassed
in the worlds history. 1t was not the guam
tity but the quality of enemies that endan-
gered the freedom Of Greece.
Professor Delbrcuk, in the second part of
his lecture, said that all the statements abont
the hundreds of thousands of Germans and
Gauls who, according to Roman s%purcesy
had been vanquished were just as worthless
as the tales OF the Greeks about the army
of Xerxes. Why did not the Romans profit
by their number to take possession Of Ger
many The task was perhaps not impossi-
Bile, but extremely difficult. The country
which could not supply enough food for its
own inhabitants could not nourish a hostile
army, and Germany had no roads along
which supplies could be- transported. 1t
seemed sufficient to the Romans not to fight
the barbarions Extensively, but only to pro-
tect the Empire against invasion, and the
whole OF the army was placed on the Dor
dors. This system lasted for about three
centuries. 1t was the longest period Of
pence the world ever saw.
In the military exploits Of the Normau3,
they snw, even better than anywhere else,
that the number of the Norlnans never could
have been very great. Az to the battle OF
Hastings harmony had not yet been attained
among the scholars Of this country. He
presumed, however, that William might have
had not $4,000 and not even 81, coo, rs some
historians had calculated, but 1000 to 5000,
and that Harold had not 100000, as stated
by Bishop Guido Of Amiens, but perhaps
1000. The bulk of the people were peace
able, ard did not believe that they were
greatly interested in the question whether
their King WAS called Harold or William.
SO it was natural to conclude, rs in his
opinion the course of the battle showed, that
IN Harold's host there were no peusants.-

INJURIOUS EFFECTS OF OZONE.

A correspondent wrifes:-The growing use
of ozone as an mir purifier and a restorer of
exhausted hu an vitality is likely to receive
"A check; an adverse report upon the proper
ties of this gas has just been made as " re-
suit of scientific Investigations conducted on
behalf of the official organ, of the American
Medical Association by eminent bacteriolo-
gists.
The report states that, so far MS the evil
dence goes, ozone produces no reaction IN
the human organism that can be regarded as
in any degree beneficial in wArding off lnfec-
tious disense. On the contrary, all appre-
ciable physiological changes produced by the
inhalation of ozone are distinctly OF an lnJar-
ious and weakening character. Another OBJ
lection to the use of ozone MS Z" air purifier IS
that while it has the property Of masking
had odours it destroys ueliher their cause
nor effect. Since bad odours are danger sig
nails, anything which tends to conceal them
is obviously not in tie best interests OF hy9l-
ene.-Bjd.

we never at any moment had q serious, lnten-
tion either of making war on France OF [
insis ing at any and every cost on the pOss-
eesion of part of Morocco. Had England
and France voluntarily agreed to allot us 10
portion of the Shereefian Empire many Eeo-
pie in Germany would have been highly gra-
tilted. But since they made it a cardinal
point Of their policy to resist any such solu-
ton we were quite satisfied to receive COM
pensation elsewhere.
LESS THAN Our RIGHT:
eve felt, however. that the compensation
actually given to US was considerably less
than we bad a good right to expect, The
result was a bitter sentiment of hostility to-
warde England, whose intervention WIS be-
lieved to have been chiefly responsible for
the unsatisfactory settlement that was final
~ renched. A good deal of the improve
ment in Anglo-German relations is due to-
our persuasion that many English statesmen
have by now come round to our point of
view and realise that in l91l we were treat
ed not only harshly bat unwisely~
'tThe second reason why there is tO-dny
q better feeling between England and Ger
many is that the developments of the Bal
kan crisis have fnvoured it. Ehe two eou1l-
tries have been able to work together in %
practical, businesslike way
Then, aguin, there has been noticeable
during the past few mouths OF the Balkan
trouble a certain relaxution--I Will not put
it more stronghold the entente between
England and Russia. That has naturally
entailed a corresponding growth Of German
friendliness towards England.
The most significant thing have noticed
during my visit TO London is that English
men appear at last to be beginning to un-
derstand what it is that Germany wants. She
does not aspire TO any hegemony in Europe~
II such al ambition is cherished anywhere
it should be looked for in St. Petersburg
rather than in Berlin. What Germany dos
want is certain extension of her still very
small Colonial Empire
I am encouraged to think that in future
England will not only not thwart us, but &c
tualIy assist us in attaining ii. Let England
and Russia divide Persia and practically that
is what they hive done al~rea3y-nnd I do
not doubt that they will be ab4e to find COM
pensariou for Germany elsewhere."--IbtG

gifts were placed on loan by his Majesty at

WHAT WANTS.
Interview With Prof. Delbruck.
How BRITAIN Can Help.

Professor Delbruck, the distinguished his
torian, and perhaps the most influential pub
licist in Germany, has been visiting London
and just before his return home on Friday
last week was interviewed by a representa-
tive of The Daily Mail.
Il am glad" he said, "to be able to report
that the feeling between the Governments
and peoples of Germany and Great Britain
is now very much improved. I attribute this
in the 6rst place to a realisation on both sides
that the severe tension which existed be-
tween the two countries in 1911 was due not
to q real ~antagonism of interests but to q
series of misunderstanding. Politicians in
England in 1911 sincerely believed that Ger
many was determined to obtain a slice of
Morocco and that in prosecuting this sup
posed design We should become involved in
q war with France. They now know that
