Mantle, melinte, cordite and other high explosives
with which men are killing each other today across
the ocean. The expansive force of freed nitrogen
gas is what hurls the bullet and bursts the bomb.
But this liberty-loving gas is lifegiver as well as
death-dealer. 1t is essential to all plant growth.
No nitrogen food. How to replace in the soil the
nitrogen the plants take out is mankind's biggest
problem today. Some plants like clover and alfalfa,
draw it from the air and leave part of it in the ground
Most of the restoration however has to be made by
means of nitrate fertilizers.

and it combines with them. The chemical reaction
itself produces heat enough to keep the process
going as long as fresh carbide is fed in. Carbdes
are cheap and plenty and the air is full of nitrogen
We're still long way from starvation!

Claxton's valuable recommend
ations as to our university may be
all right, but how about q few
suggestions which really touch
the fundamentals of our unver-

Why not center all football
championships at the University
of Washington, and save sport
editors a lot of work?
Why not take away from pro-
fessors their arbitrary. and dis
criminatory powers Of inflicting
cons and flunks on some students
and not on others?
Why not remove the Depart
ment OF Chimes, University OF
Washington, to Pullman?
Why not remove the teaching
of Oriental language and liter

Why not prohibit a lot of 900

Idaho and Montana and make a
new state and that they have
gone as far as naming the new
state. We also learn they have
even chosen the man they expect
to be governor. We all in this

Famous Brain Workers Return t

The editor Of the New York Med

tried a vegetarian diet and gave 1t
up, but failed to find any who persist

He cites Benjamin Franklin, who
"stuck for year or more to his reso-

looked upon the taking of animal life
for purposes Of food as kind of UNI
provoked murder But when he
saw small flesh removed from the
stomachs of larger ones he reasoned:
"If you eat one another, do not see
why we may not eat YOU" so he dined
upon cod very heartily. returning only
now and then occasionally to a vege-
tartan diet.
Then there was Herbert Spencer,
who, after six months of vegetarian
ism. found himself deteriorating and
returned to n use of animal food. He

Idea of Cleanliness.
The American man, who considers
himself well-born and good hammered
seems to think that the street, es-
pecially the gutter, is a combination
OF waste basket. ash barrel and gar
bage pail. Without the slightest
thought he casts out Of his hands any
thing that he wishes to dispose of,
even If other persons are looking and
think nothing more about it. The
young persons who showered the
bridal couple with confetti tossed the
empty box and it's cover into the gut
ter and it is companion there to a
bulky auto tube box and half dozen
cigaret cases. The banker casts
aside his half-burned cigar as he
reaches his doorway and 1t falls into
the gutter. 1t finds plenty or compan-
ions already there. An apple core or
banana skin-not so bad if there Is
only one, for the sparrows will soon
finish that-a discarded paper lunch
con box with some of the luncheon, a
tin tobacco box, matchcase, the
mornings paper, wad or excelsior
from some carelessly packed load, a
cigaret box, the wrapper of pack
age of chewing gum, tinfoil from
chocolate or tobacco, wrapping paper
galore, some bits of barrel hoops, a
torn-to-bits- letter, schoolgirls COM
position in its stuff, vertical hand,
and other items.
Anyone may take census for
himself in an afternoons ramble.
There are the jettson of hundred
passers-by, all imbued with the
same lack of public spirit There may
be garbage in the lot-there will be
when some fairly permanent monu-
ment exists like the Nawn pile of paw
ing stones that remained for year or
during the building of the subway at
the curbstone edge by Technology.
Aside from the discomfort OF the caco-
rhony Of continuous handling Of por-
tons of the stones, the pile afforded
quiet and easy means of disposal of
the kitchen wastes of various house
holds and the gutter was seldom free
from collections of the kind
There is no malice in such condi-
tions of street and gutter, no evil
intent, they exist simply through the
thoughtlessness of intelligent citizens
whose ideal of street care, cleanli-
ness and sanitation is the only back
ing that the public authorities can
possibly have.
What is true of the cutters is true
also Of vacant private property with
the addition that here are thrown
the more solid of the wastes of the
household. Milk bottles, those hav-
ing contained other liquid refresh
ments, and tin cans form a substan-
tial portion of this refuse, and he
who has the care of such lot will
have no difficulty in collecting within
the border line of convenient throw
ing distance from the sidewalk
wagon load year, which will cost
good money to transfer to legiti-
mate dump.
The citizens individually are re-
sponsible for these selfish practices
Of utter carelessness and disregard
of decency in street cleanliness, and
the fact that the individuai standards
are so low makes correspondingIy
more difficult the maintenance of
public standards. Boston Transcript.
