 The ugles concerning the reform school have been in circulation. They based the statements of guards other attaches and inmates of the institution. Some of them seemed well authenticated that they commonly believed. A female attache and guard who were involved discharged. and that fact naturally regarded q corrobOration of the reports.
 It is to the credit of the newspapers of the state of which have been openly antagonistic the administration that this unpleasant subject has been carefully handled The papers hardly than hinted at the character of the reports which described situation unspeakably revotng, more so perhaps, than any that existed in a similar in sttution in this country Perhaps second thought the newspapers restrained by their of decency and the limitations placed upon them by the postal regulations rather than by of fair ness.

Improvement in the travel facilities of d single Italian port has permanently changed the whole ture of the American travel that passes through London. few years ago, Americans not only came to London through Liverpool, but also left hy the same route; now however, Naples has be- sort of southern Liverpool, and transatlantic travellers sail from there. As result more visi- tors to London but they generally come only once, and average a much shorter stay. The favor te way for an American to see Europe is to land in Liverpool, London and then go over the continent ending up at Naples. and embarking there Very many land at Naples. and go through London on the way to Liverpool for sailing. While London has thus perhaps lost some of it's inn portance a traffic center, its attractiveness as treasure of historic interest is increasing ana it is visited more than ever before.

A QuibbIinq Senator

The mere performance O a righteous is not right unless the motive for doing it is right. We hold in higher respect the with honest motive for vrongdoing. who believes he is doing the right thing, than do the man who does the right thing with improper motive. We have in mind the democrats in congress who paving the way Q a surrender President Wilson in the matter of the Panama canal tolls.
 We have here the statement Thursday of Senator Kern of Indiana: q voted toll emption. If vote for repeal would be be- have changed my views. I don't believe that toll exemption violates the ay-Pauncefote treaty. If support the presidents request, I would do because his desire for congress support his foreign policy, and the further that in questions of this kind where there any doubts the interpretation treaties the foreigner should be given the benefit of the doubt"
 We may what do believe to be true, that Senator Kern voted tolls because he believed that was right We believe the fact to be that Senator Kern voted in accordance with democratic policy of opposition which became defi- nite policy in the Baltimore platform. But granting that the senator then believed he right. have his statement that he still thinks he right, but is inclined go wrong in deference the wishes of the president The senator still thinks that free tolls for American vessels would be in violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. In that case, he would consent to q monstrous wrong against the American people. would neglect his duty to for them a privilege which is barred by the treaty and which. if barred. belongs them since the canal constructed by the American nation without the aid of any other nation.
 Senator Kern admits reasonable ground for doubt to the meaning of the treaty. and where there doubts the interpretation of treaties the foreigner should be given the benefit the doubt
 There much why foreigners should be given the benefit of such a doubt on August 1912 when Mir. Kern voted give them voice in the matter there is But the position of the senator is wrong, in any event, whether the exemption clause of the canal act is right wrong. The privileges of the American peo- pie be lightly surrendered in of doubt There is way of adjusting doubtful claims of nations by arbitration
 In happy contrast the of Senator Kern and other weakening democratic congressman, have the manly attitude of the president. Mr. Wilson, less than years ago. believed that Amer ican vessels engaged in coastwse trade should be exempted from tolls. He declared his belief in pub lie speeches and writings The president admits that his view of the one-sided, and he has now the courage take the unpopular side of serious international queston-to take the side against his American people will believe that he right he is wrong. The constituents of Mir. Kern believe that he is wrong if he is right

ARMY INVESTMENTS AND REFLECTIONS

According to the Army and Navy Journal the total number of applicants for enlistment in the army during 1913 in the eastern. middle southern and western sections of the United States follows: In Chicago 1920 with 9342 rejectons, or 7S4 per cent of rejectiOnS; in New York 17055. with 13,75S reectiOns, percentage of 80.6: in Sa varnah. New Orleans and Little Rock 3S55, with 3011 rejectons, percentage of 7S.1; at San Fran cisco. 5504, with 4443 rejectons, a percentage of ures that the percentage of rejections was about the same in New York and San Francisco, and that the percentage for the southern section and the middle west represented by Chicago was lower than either the east the west, with small fraction in favor of the norherly section. The better showing of the middle west was rather to be expected though the margin is quite small but the surprising thing about all these fi@ures is the large percentage of reiectons in all sections of the country. The Journal of the American Medi cal association thinks that it does not argue well for the physique and the stamina of our young men. perhaps may be accounted for by the SUD- position that the best do offer themselves Tor enlistment. Tn England it is said the physique of the average Tommy Atkins is deterorating but in a comparatively country like the United States thn descendants of hardy poneer stock reared amid abundance and under favorable health and climatic conditions should make much better showing.

ANCIENT FOOTWEAR.
And the Old Ceremony Of Barring the
Feet at Worship.


Feet at Worship.
The India Hindus and Mussulmans
alike wear both sandals and shoes (slip-
pers) and the latter boots also. The
sandal tthe word is Persiam was eyi-
IDENTITY the original covering for the
feet over all southern and eastern Asia,
while the shoe was probably intro
duced into India by the Persians, AT
ghans and Mongols. together with the
Tip tilted" (Hittite and Etruscan) boot.
Both are usually made In India Of
leather. but never of pigskin, and, while
the shoes are always colored red or vel
low, the boots are generally brightly
particoloTed. both among the upper
classes being also richly embroidered
in gold and silver and variegated silk
thread and with bangles, bugles and
seed pearls after the manner of the an
cient Persian boots represented on
Greek vases.
But, OF however rare and costly elab-
grafton, the invariable rule is to re-
move them after entering a private
house just when stepping on to the mat
or carpet on which the visitor takes his
seat They must be cast of, the right
boot or shoe first. before the worshiper
enters a temple or mosque, and It is

OUR SUN A VARIABLE STAR.
The More Spots IL Has Upon II the
More Heat We Get.

MotU F1Sab we GeIs
Accurate investigations carried on 81.
multaneously In various parts of the
world through long series of years
have demonstrated that the sun does
not give out constantly the same
amount of heat. but the variation is 30
great as to amount to 10 degrees on
the earth's surface. In other words,
our sun is a variable star. Ii has long
been known that other stars vary In
the amount OF light they send forth,
notably Mira In the constellation of
Cetus, but 1t required the most refined
investigation with the most elaborate
checks to prove that this was the case
With the SUM- One Of the instruments
La SO delicate that 1t can measure one
millionth part of degree OF heat.
1t Is found that the amount OF heat
Ii connected with the spots on the sun.
and, curiously enough. more spots more
heat. Thus we have one factor In the
changes OF terrestrial temperature. al
though 1t Is only one. Our seasons are
caused by the inclination OF the earth's
equator to the ecliptic. and the heat is
greater in summer when the suns rays
fall most directly on the earth. But
as the amount of heat varies and as
the radiation. reflection. ETC., also vary
we have q very complex system of
weather.
