Untold Wealth for Farmers.
This year has brought to them
abundant crops, undoubtedly assuring
untold wealth. Because of the pros
perity Of the farmer, business In gen

will be plenty Of work for every
branch Ct activity throughout the ma
ton during the next year IL the peo
pie will, as / have emphasized, exert
the utmost Judgment.
OF course we must have ships
with which to fnd markets for u
products. But the planning for and
building OF a merchant marine pre-
sents one of the gravest Of problems.
1t is one In which caution and judg
ment are imperative.

PROGRESS IN THE KITCHEN.

The fact that a thing has always
been done in certain way-mere
precedent-limits originality and
halts progress. For example: In a
recent issue of the Survey the ques-
tion why kitchen sinks have been
made so low was discussed. No one
seemed to be able to explain. Final
ly a certain maker discovered that
the original sinks were made when
the washing of dishes and other sink
work was done in wooden tubs with
high sides. Such a tub when used
in a high sink came up too far, so
the sink was made low. Furthermore,
as running water and fixed faucets
had not long been made, the tub had
to be lifted out of the sink, and the
lower the sink the lighter the lift.
Though improvements in faucets,
dishpans and other accessories OF
kitchen sinks have been made, nc
one has seemed to realize that the
sink could be improved by raising

NEW VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE.

The value of life has fluctuated
greatly in the different periods of the
worlds history. To the Spartans
life was cheap. The highest duty
was to be a soldier; the greatest hon
or was to give away life for the
state. Napoleon estimated the thou
sands of lives his conquest for a uni
yersal empire would cost, and he
marched on, sacrificing them. Life
death was the punishment for steal
ing three shillings; there were 253
crimes punishable by death; $4,000
people were executed during his
reign.
Formerly war, pestilence and fam
inc swept off humanity by the count
less millions. During the Thirty
Years war 1S,00O,000 of Germany S
population were killed. The Black
Death devoured 25,0O0,000 people in
Europe during the fourteenth cen
tury. Three hundred and fifty fam
ines have swept over the earth since
the beginning of history. Human
life has been destroyed like bubbles,
Today all this has changed.
Smallpox and yellow fever. for
ages the two dreaded horrors of man
kind, have lost their terror. The new
discoveries in surgery have alleviated
untold suffering. Formerly opera
tions were performed while the sub
ject shrieked with pain. Today an
aesthetics render the patient as in
sensible as a mountain boulder. The
leading physicians of the world a
few weeks ago cheered long and
loudly DR.. Alexis Carrel of the Rock
efeller Institute when he announced
to them that he had stopped the
hearts Of animals for two and a half
minutes and performed operations on
their valves.
Animals nave played an important
part in the eradication of human dis
ease. From the horse the antitoxin
is prepared that saves thousands OF
children from death by diphtheria

OUR SILENT TRAVELLERS.

1t has often been said in Europe
that Americans take their pleasures
sadly. Some of them also take them
very stiffly and silently. A lady re-
marked the other day that she had
spent many summers at seashore and
mountain hotels, and that if she got
acquainted with the other guests it
was always because she made the
advances. The other people would
never make any.
One of the best pleasures and ben
efits of travel is conversation with
the chance acquaintance of the train
and the hotel. The commonplace
man who sits opposite you in the res
taurant may not look as if he had
any interesting thoughts to impart
Yet underneath his inscrutable mask
of face there may be keen observa-
tion and lively sense of humor worth
while drawing out.
People stand too much on their
dignity. There is too much cold
reserve. The man who shuts his
mouth like clam misses learning a
great many things that would be use
full to him. Also he will never add
much to his circle of friends.

EFFECT IN THE UNITED STATES

The United States has met the
financial condition brought about by
the great European conflict in a
manner that reflects much credit
upon the administration at Wash
ington. The influence of develop
ments abroad was anticipated, and
that there might be no panic in our
own country provision was made for
the financial stability of our institu-
tions. The plea of President Wilson
that our own people remain calm,
and not lend themselves to the crea-
tion of distrust, met prompt APPROX
al, and as a consequence the finances
of the nation are suffering little from
the affair in England. 1t must not
be expected, however, that business
and finance will not be disturbed by
war of magnitude, but matters have
been so we'll adjusted that the effect
is discounted and the cause for alarm
has disappeared.

FOREST FIRE.

The danger of the destruction of
the forests of southern Oregon by
fire is ade evident on season so
dry as the present one, says A. Il.
Voorhies in the Grants Pass Courier.
The air is blue with smoke, and in
every direction the flames are con-
suming more growth than the year
has produced. The wisdom of the
forestry department in its methods
of fire fighting is shown, however,
in the fact that so few of the fires
get beyond control. They are found
and reported as soon as they start,
and in most cases the incipient blaze
is out in short time.
How these fires start is oftentimes
a mystery. Sometimes they come
from lightning, but often the careless
hunter is the responsible agent.
August is always the month in which
the danger is greatest, the woods be-
ing then in a most inflammable con.
dition. The hunting season opening
on the first day OF August doubles
the danger. In the interest Of safety
and OF sport as we'll, II has been sug
gested many times that the hunting
season be opened month later. Sep
tember is usually ushered in by thu
first rain OF the fall season. the wood
become safer, and the deer are bette
game for the sportsman. There
good argument for later opening o
the hunting season.

1.-THE BABY CROP"

Out OF 330,179 children attending
the public and parochial schools of
New York city who were examined
by the Bureau of Child Hygiene, $780,
1872, or more than 50 per cent, were
found to be physically defective.
These figures are given in state
ment just issued by the Bureau of
Welfare for School Children. They
do not begin to show the whole num-
ber of defective children, for the staff
of the Bureau of Child Hygiene is so
inadequate that it was able to exam
inc only about a quarter OF the $780,
577 school children in the city. in
New York the mothers have no votes.
At the Interstate Fair held last
fall in Spokane, Wash, the press re-
ported that the Better Babies contest
broke all records. More than four
teen hundred babies were entered
from Washington and the neighbor-
ing suffrage states; and so many OF
them were found almost perfect that
after the preliminary tests, an addi-
tional competition had to be held to
settle the relative merits of the ba.
bies who came up to SO per cent OIL
over.
The baby crop is the most impor-
tant crop in the country" says Mar
jorie Dorman, anti-suffragist. That
is one of the strongest reasons why
women should vote. The difference
between the terrible showing of New
York city and the splendid showing
of the Pacific northwest in the mat
ter of children's health is due, Of
course, to a number of causes; equal
suffrage is only one factor. But il
is undeniable that more attention is
paid to the safety of the baby crop
where the mothers have votes.
In Chicago, before women got the
! ballot, there was no efficient system
of garbage disposal. In the stock
yards district the garbage was simply
dumped by the city and left to rot
with the result that the babies dice

Public Becoming
More Cautious

Pacific coast pedestrians, automo-
bile drivers and team drivers exercise
more care this year in approaching
railroad grade crossings than they
did in 1913, though there is still
plenty of room for Improvement. The
fact is shown in figures gathered by
the Southern Pacific Company in con-
nection with it's campaign for the con-
servation of human life and the pre-
vention of accidents.
The company has made every effort
to educate careless pedestrians and
vehicle drivers as to the danger of
approaching railroad tracks without
first ascertaining the safety of cross
ing. In this connection, observation
tests were made in widely separated
localities in August, September and
October, 1913. OF the 1902 motor
vehicles observed, the drivers of H.
S36, or u per cent, looked neither
to the right nor to the left before
crossing the tracks, 81 per cent
looked one way only, and but 27.S
per cent looked in both directions.
The astonishing number of 1901, or
1913 per cent Of the total number of
drivers observed, ran over the cross
ings at a reckless rate of speed, and
only "a drivers stopped their ma
chimes before crossing the tracks to
see that there was no train approach
ing.
or the 4,SS9 drivers of teams, 39.4
per cent looked in neither direction,
sc per cent looked one way only, and
So per cent looked in both directions.
OF 6,301 pedestrians. 3,0S2, or 49.1
per cent, looked in both directions,
10 per cent in one direction only, and
35.9 per cent in both directions.
OF the total number of 2S,211 driv-
ers and pedestrians checked, 1884,
or 59.S per cent, looked neither way
/ before passing over the crossing 6.3
per cent looked one way, and only
1913 per cent looked in both direc-
tions.
To find out just what effect its
safety first campaign is having, the
Southern Pacific in June of this year
made similar observations, at the
same crossings where checks were
made last year, and also at additional
crossings. The comparative state
ment of the result of the two checks
shows the following encouraging re-
suits:
Twenty-three per cent more drivers
of automobiles are looking in both di-
rections before crossing railroad
tracks than did last year, and IL per
cent are now looking one way.
The number of drivers of teams
looking both ways shows no improve
ment, both years being So per cent
but per cent more are looking one
way than did last year. Pedestrians
show an increase of 29 per cent look
ing in both directions, but per cent
less looked one way, indicating a new
Improvement of "a per cent.
Taking automobile and team driv-
ers and pedestrians together, the i'm
provement of 26 per cent more look
ing both ways and 6 per cent looking
one way is shown.
The Southern Pacific's chief sug-
gestion to those crossing railroad
tracks is to stop, look and listen be-
fore crossing. We're everyone to heed
this, company officials say, practical.
ly every crossing accident would be
prevented.
