DESERT is DRY.

SAN BERNARDINO, June 20
Eighteen applicants for liquor Ii
censes on the desert were denied to-
day by the board of supervisors
Some of the towns from which ap-
piications were denied will be dry
for the first time in their history.
Among the principal ones are Bar
stow and Daggett. Two applications
from Victorville and five from Nee
dies were granted. The board is Oper-
ating under an ordinance which puts
The liquor question up to a local op-
tion vote at each election, the board
reserving the right, however, to grant
or deny the applications regardless
of the vote. Heretofore the rule that
where a decided vote was cast in
favor of saloons the licenses were
granted, but the action of the board
today rpsets all precedents, as the
supervisors denied applications from
number of towns which cast a
majority in favor of wetness, among
them Daggett and Barstow.

Silk Hat Is a Century Old.

Last year was the centenary yea1
of trousers, this year sees the high hal
a hundred years old. AS matter OF
fact, the top hat is much older thar
that, but it is exactly hundred years
since the variety known as the silk
hat was placed on the market. 1t al
once became the fashionable form OF
headgear, and has retained it's position
ever since. The inventor of the silk
hat was a London halter named Ben
nett. Prior to his day top hats were
made of beaver; but he introduced
silk and fabric as an alternative ma
terial to beaver skin for tall hats, be
cause the great increase in the popu
larity of the tall hat caused famine
in beaver skins. Since that time the
silk hat has shrunk two inches, for the
top hat of today is only different tc
the founder of it's line in being about
two inches lower, with a correspond
ing reduction in the size of the brim
The fabric of a modern tall hat is OF
go3samer soaked in shellac to give
it the necessary stiffness. The firm
founded by the inventor Of the silk hat
still conducts business in Piccadilly
London, and, according to their re
ports, the centenary of the high hal
finds it as popular as ever.

would leave me alone. Brother Jack

the house alone. He minds his own
affairs and | mind mine. He isn't al
ways rushing into my room to see if
| remembered to sew shields in my
waists, and if | remembered to put
on my heavy fiannels this morning
because it is colder, or to ask if
realize it is half-past eight and l am
due at school at nine o'clock. And
am not nagging him to wear rubbers
every time there is sprinkle nor in
sisting on knowing what girl he took
home from church Sunday night nor
fussing at him because he talks ten
minutes over the phone We just
take it for granted that the other
thinks, and let it go at that. If a
person has human intelligence enough
to think, surely he or she can take
care OF little things without being
eternally nagged. Living together is
very simple if you just mind your own
business 1t is when someone minds
it for you that you want to live ON q

KEEP THE MIND ALERT
LACK OF MENTAL OCCUPATION
ALWAYS A MENACE.
No One Should Leave His Mind the
Sport and Prey of Evil Influ-
ences Through Lack of
Occupation.

In somewhat unsavory divorce
case famous expert testified that the
woman was suffering from a mental
vacuum" When, Oh leaving the stand,
he was asked what he meant, he said:
"A mental vacuum is a space created
in a PERSONS mind by lack of some oc-
cupation or condition of environment
which would naturally fill it,
That there can be such a thing as,
at least, a partial mental vacuum -
will hardly be denied. But many will
doubt whether, as was argued in this
case, a vacuum can be created in the
mind of one person by the action of
another. Those who are familiar with
their New Testament will recall the
story of the soul from which the evil
spirits had been driven out Here it
is: "When the unclean spirit is gone
out of man, he Walketh through dry
places, seeking rest; and finding none,
he saith, | will return unto my house
whence l came out. And when he
cometh, he findeth it swept and gar
nished Then goeth he, and taketh to
|. him seven other spirits more wretched
than himself; and they enter in, and
dwell there; and the last state Of that
man is worse than the first"
Here was "soul vacuum" created
by the expulsion of evil And evil re-
turned with greatly reinforced
strength. 1t is precisely so with a
mental vacuum" 1t can be filled. and
must be filled if ruin is to be avoided
No one need leave his mind the sport
and prey of evil influences. But the
only way to exclude those influences
is to keep the mind filled with noble
thoughts and sound learning It is
the emptiness that invites and prac-
tically insures invasion. And the emp
tiness is the result, not of the activity
of another, but of ones own neglect.
Men are very largely what they are
because of what they think This was
recognized by the apostle, and his
words are true, whether applied to the
intellectual or the spiritual life If
character is nodded by thought the
thought must be lofty if the character
is to be lofty. So we have this advice
/ from the apostle: Whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are hon.
est, whatsoever things are just, what
soever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report; if there be any vir.
tue, and if there be any praise, think
on these things"
We doubt whether there can be such
thing as an absolute mental vac
uum,' that is, a wholly tenantless
mind, so empty as to be widely open to
evil. 1t must be filled, and with things
that are true, lovely and of good re,
port. Otherwise it will become the
slave Of other influences. 1t is not
enough to cease to do evil"-men
must learn to do we'll" Virtue con.
sists, not in the absence Of evil. but
in the presence of good. That is the
teaching both of Christianity and OF
the non-Christian philosophers.-Indi

dog days began after the Fourth.
They will refuse to let anyone tie
packs of firecrackers on their tails,
and assert their independence in
other little things having to do with
the pride and self-respect of dogs. In
extreme cases in which their rights
are transgressed a dog will go mad.
but dogs in the main will retain their
reason and attend strickly to their
business of keeping a sharp lookout
for tramps.
The dog days caused the fall OF
Egypt The Egyptians attributed to
them the floods which rendered. the
Nile Valley fertile, and worshipped
the dog as the god Isis. The Greeks
and Romans, upon the other hand,
blamed them with the intense heat
of midsummer, and took an alto
gether prOfane view of the dog. The
result was one of those terrible theo-
logical feuds which have from time
to time arrested the development OF
the world, and it only ended when
Egypt was conquered and the dog
was moved from the temple to the
dog house. The celebrated British
controversy over the beginning OF
the dog days was almost as sanguln-
ary. In the time of Elizabeth they
were made to begin on the 9th OF
July and end on the 9TH of Septem-
Der. Subsequently they were made
to begin on the 10Th of July and end
Oh the 2Sth of August. violent
protest against this change set in
during the protectorate Of Cromwell.
1t was at this time that the term
dogfall originated. The people who
wanted the beginning of the dog
days set back got in the habit OF
falling before the thOroughbreds o.
Cromwell and other dignitaries at
the races and getting killed for the
cause. The Stuarts, who promised to
set the dog days back to date from
July to Aug. II, were finally re-
stored to the throne on this issue,
The first twenty-one days of July
will be under the influence OF Cancer
the Crab, the fourth sign OF the 70
diac. This will cause the lobby to
back up and leave the way clear for
the passage of the Underwood tariff
bill The last ten days of July will
be under the influence of Leo the
Lion, the fifth sign of the zodiac.

Hope for the Meat Eaters.

The Department of Agriculture has shown It's
appreciation of a new opportunity for usefulness
by sending agents to Argentina and Australia 10
report on the facilities there for furnishing TINS
country with much needed supplies Of fresh meat.
The removal of the duty on meats has become
an economic necessity The supply here is getting
so scant and so high priced that contributions from
the surplus Of other countries should be heartily
welcomed Our population is growing at the rate
Of about 90 per cent decade, but our stock OF
food animals is rapidly declining. The Department
Of Agriculture estimates that in the last six years
the number of beef cattle in the United States has
fallen from 51566,OOO to 360SOOoO. Protective
duties and a steady increase in values have not
stopped the decline, because the conditions under
which cattle could be raised cheaply and freely
on the Western ranges have passed away.
The United States will have to make the most OF
the resources Of countries like Argentina, Uruguay
Paraguay and Australia, where the ranges are still
omen. ANYTHING the government can do to turn
those resources this way will be appreciated The
chief hone Of the American meat eater now lies in
foreign aid.

Another Slaughter of Factory Workers.

The Binghamton fire is the Triangle Waist Com
pany fire over again, with, happily smaller loss
of life.
In spite of all the safety laws that have been
passed there was the same crowding Of more work
ing people than could get out quickly br the exits
in the Ringhamton factory caused the great JOSS
Of life in the Washington Place factory. Survivors
speak of the stairs and fire escapes being packed
The latter are tangled mass Of ruin. another de-
tail of the terrible New York fire repeated in Bing'
hamton
Perhaps because Of the safety laws that were
passed. but evidently not enforced it may be pos
sibe TO punish those responsible for the score or
more of deaths in yesterdays fire As they deserve
10 he punished The owners of the Triangle Waist
Companv. who crowded their workers into unsafe
ouarterS escaped unwhipped Of the law. 80 there
is dire necessity of making an example OF employ
ers whose greed results in the death OF thelr en-
Moves But unfortunately, the tenderness with
which the law treats employers who follow the
Triangle Waist Company practice of locking ther
workers i'm firetraps discouragcs the hope that
iretice will no done Several such inhuman
wretches had to be let of with fines in this city only
the other day.
What has happened in Binghamton may happen
will. indeed happen. sooner later, in New YORK.
Conditions are better than before the Triangle
Waist Company fire hut they fall far short OF
safety The lesson of the last disaster here was
only half learned.

II Happened in the Balkans.

The Turkish troops said TO be committing
atrocities at Adrianople Perhaps they are. They
have been known to do such things. In any case it
would be extraordinary if they were not accused Of
them The rule is always to regard the Turk :
'unspeakable.'
At the same time evidence is now overwhelming
that the Bulgarians at Nigru, Seres and elsewhere
have committed outrages as horrible as any ever
charged against the Turks. Nor is this surprising.
They come OF the stock Of Tmur LenG. and more
than once or twice in their history they have
shown their breed.
As for Servia, her recent herOism cannot obscure
the fact that some very grewsome work was done
in Albania and elsewhere Only few weeks ago
occurred the tenth anniversary Of the slaughter Of
the former King and Queen.
And nine centuries ago the Greeks are said TO
have put out the eyes OF fifteen thousand Bulgarian
prisoners. leaving every hundredth man one eye, so
that he might be able to lead his comrades home.
