in Milwaukee last week, indicates
that the bankers of this state, outside
Of those ia two or three Of the large
cities, are opposed to several of the i'm

held that the big banks in the central
cities are looking after their own in

without caring what would happen to
the smaller banks, which represent
about 95 per cent Of the banking in
situations of the country, and that the

upon the country banks will greatly
injore their business and make loans

The teaching of sex hygiene in the
schools is matter that is now th 9
source Of much discussion, opinion as
to the desirability Of such a course
being very much divided. The
crusade against vice which has been
in progress throughout the country
during the past year or two has forced
this subject to the fore, and many of
the scientists and educators hold that
q leading cause of immortality is the
Withholding from children of both
sexes knowledge pertaining to sex
which parents are 10th to impart, the
proper telling of which might have
prevented hours of bitter anguish and
regret and saved loved daughter
from disgrace. The secrets of life
relating to nativity are too often
obtained by children upon the streets
or from sources which work for evil
in their minds, whereas the knowledge
pronarly impaired would have aided
in the strengthening of the child's
character.

VOUR advertisement Is
I just as much a sales

But the salesman can talk

There is a demand for cheap

Abbe LOisy.

From the Chnrchmsn-
The former modernist leader. Able
Loisy, now a professor of comparative
religion in the College de France, has just
published an autobiographical volume,
with the significant title of Chooses Pas
sees" Even those who question the
soundness of Loisy's Biblical criticism
recognize the wonderful charm Of his
style. The familiar clarity, precision OF
phrase, the beauty Of diction. and the
classic reserve and moderation. are all
present in this new work. He tells Js
how his clerical career began in 1874. when
he entered the seminary at Chalon. He
showed early fondness for Oriental Ian
guages, but says that the chief end of
his studies was to prepare himself for the
composition of a great work in which
meant to demonstrate by history and
philosophy the truth OF Catholicism" In
1881 he went to Paris to perfect his prep
aration in scholarship and became pu-
pil of Duchesne, who at that time was
teaching in the Free Roman Cathohc
University. In this new horizon he re-
solved to devote himself only to his texts
and to sacred philology, without preoccu-
pying himself with theology or apollo
getics He only began to realize dissatis-
faction with the official theories of the
church when he was called to give a
course of Biblical exegesis. He soon felt
that criticism and the belief in BIBLICAL
infallibility could not co-exist.

Saving Oil and Natural Gas.

When an oil well Is shot, that Is,
when a heavy charge of dynamite is ex-
ploded far beneath the surface Of the
earth, the explosion not only sends a
mighty column of oil and gas gushing
high into the air at the time but this
heavy flow may continue by under
ground pressure and waste thousands of
barrels OF oil.
For months, the government Bureau Of
Zines has been working along lines cal
culated to prevent this great waste OF
gas and oil and in a recent publication,
the Fureau has brought TO the attention
of oil men the tremendous commercial
Importance of checking this unrestrained
flow of natural wealth.
II has been found that oil and gas
wells produce better If not allowed to
yield their full daily capacity and the
placing the industry on more eco
nomical basis. An example is quoted in
the case of a Mexican oil well which
strained flow, which would, 1t is believed.
have long since been exhausted had not
the flow been checked.
Several methods are advised by the
government experts all Of which are
arranged to cut off the oil flow at the
surface and allow Il to pump itself out
gradually. Numerous suggestions to pre-
vent oil wells and crude oil from fire
hazard are advanced by the bureau. More
than ss5,ooo,cCo a year in oil and gas
formerly wasted has been saved by the
co-operation of oil men with the Bureau
of Mines. and this saving is expected to
be still further increased.

Poetry and Pastry.

DR.. Lawrence F. Abbott. of the Out
look. is authority for the statement that
Keats is as appropriate in the kitchen as
in the library, and the United States Bu-
reau of Education has Endorsed DR.. Abb
bott's idea.
Good pastry needs a fertile imagina-
tion, says DR.. Abbott inscffect, and he
believes nothing is better for the imagl-
nation than a copy of Keats poems.
Vocational education and cultural edu-
cation are interdependent and essential"
says the doctor. Life would be hops
less round of drudgery IL Imagination
did not enable US to see beauty in the
eommonest tasks. The deepest and most
satisfying beauty is in the fitness of
things.
1T is not a lack Of manual skill that
gives US SO many poor cooks: it IL a
lack of the appreciation Of the beauty OF
cooking. 1t is this possession
which made Keats one of the very great
est poets of absolute beauty in the Eng
lIsh language. 1t enabled him TO see and
to interpret to others the imperishable
beauty of the commonplace described in
his ode to a Grecian Urn"
From DR.. Abbott it would appear that
the course of all true cookery embraces
Keats as well, and there Is a tender ap-
peal in the thought of well-ordered

THE WIFE WHO WORKS.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A husband who was spoiled by the high
earnings of mis- seamstress wife and took
to drink instead Of attending to business
y, divided Judge with the opportunity for
a few caustic remarks about the woman
who works after she is married. Such
woman, the Judge said, IL stirring up
trouble for herself and is wrecking h-r
r,ar,led life.
As applied to the case before him, the
remarks of the judge were not amiss. But
when he attempted to pass judgment upon
the women who work after marriage as a
class the Judge was letting his feelings
run away with his reason.
The fact of the matter is that few wom-
en- 60 back to the shop or the factory
after they are married unless they posi-
lively have to. Sometimes the earnings
of the husband are insufficient. At times
it is the unstable character Of the hus-
lands employment that induces the wife
to 60 to work and save up few hundred
cellars for a rainy day, or, perhaps, In
order to enable her husband to get into
a better position.
That the woman who works after mar
rage is storing up trouble for herself is
true. She loses her health and often her
looks and temper. But with rare excep-
TONS the wife who hires out In a shop nr
factory should be pitied rather than con-
demned. She is forced to take her place
behind the machine. bench. or counter
by circumstances over which she has no
control.
The Washington herald., 1913-08-17
The Situation and the President.

1t is useless to discuss what might
have happened if Mexico had then
been acquired. as. perhaps, it ought to
have been. Failure to annex it then
makes it a problem today-a problem
becoming more and more critical all
the time.
Some day the crisis will come. At
some time in the future-and no one
can predict how imminent that time
may be-the American people will grow
tired of conditions which make their
fellow citizens innocent sufferers. They
will rise in protest against a continu-
ance of depredations and outrages: !:
they will demand that an American
citizen under Mexican skies, if he
obeys the laws, shall be guaranteed
peaceful habitation. The forbearance
of foreign nations will reach limit.
They will respect the Monroe doctrine
as long as we fully maintain that doc
trine, but when we neither preserve
order nor allow any foreign power to
interfere, they will insist upon protect
ing the lives and properties of their
own citizens upon Mexican soil.
That crucial time may come during
the administration of the man who is
now in the White House. In the
meantime, he must maintain peace,
even at the risk of being charged with
vacillation, indefniteness of purpose,
disregard of national honor. He must
drift along, hoping that there will be
no mysterious destruction of an Amer
ican warship nor an attack upon an
American consulate or embassy nor
the massacre of American citizens. If
he proves himself inadequate to the
great responsibility which rests upon
him, if he shows himself a weakling
when courage is requisite. or if, by his
policies or lack of policies, he makes
bad conditions worse, he cannot ex-
pect to hold the support of the Ameri-
can people. His future is in his own
hands. He can be rash or he can be
conservative; he can act with judg-
ment or he can be led into grievous
error; he can be wise or he can be
foolish. The people will be his judges,
and their verdict will be rendered at
the polls.
Thus does the Mexican situation,
equally with the tariff. and the cur
