the Peabody Museum. has recently re- turned from Yale scientific ezpsdi- ton bringing with him many anthro- biological specimens. The expedition. which lasted for about two and a half months, was chiefly around Mandam, North Dakota. Columbia River Valley and Southern California. While in the west, Dr. MacCurdy visited the Panama Pacific Exposition and de- livered two addresses before the San Francisco and Berkley Scientific meetings on anthropoiogical subjects. Peabody Museum already possesses a remarkable collection of Indian anti quities. chiefly pottery from mounds and graves in Scott and Perry coun- ties Missouri. near the Mississippi river, but practically nothing from Arkansas. Several days were devoted to the inspection of the new territory, and a considerable amount of rare specimens of stones were found. These have been received in New Haven and are being exhibited in the Museum. On account of insufficient funds the desired excavating could not be under taken, but it is quite probable Sthat another expedition will be formed to complete the work that Dr. MacCurdy has started.

START BEFORE SOMETHING HAP.
 PENS.

Thus far this season there have been no reports of large forest fires or the destruction of farm property through the spreading of brush fires, but the season is young yet and woodland is getting into the condition which makes It most inviting for just such damage.
 Sufficient warning has been given and enough instances of the harm that results from careless trespassers are sufficiently fresh in mind to cause hunters and others roaming about the country to exercise the proper amount of precaution, while those who are clearing up wasteland or getting rid of underbrush should so guard their work as to entail the least danger to their own and their neighbor's prop erty. It is a matter which requires only a small amount of thought in advance but that small amount of precaution often pays big dividends.
 When it is realized that there are such great losses every year in the fall and the spring by fires which are accidentally started or intended to be confined to a, small area, it is reason enough for everyone who is in any, way likely to be responsible for such waste to recognize his responsibility and govern himself accordingly. And the time to start is before something happens. It is well known what can be expected and fortified by such knowledge there is little excuse for conduct which goes contrary to it. If negligence could be overcome chere would be great decrease in fires of all kinds and it would require but a little common sense properly applied to prevent much trouble and the large property loss that occurs each year.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-11-05
BUSINESS NEEDS IT.

What the business of the country has needed for long time is im- proved conditions. There has been a strong revival among those industries which are engaged in the naanufac- ture of munitions and many which were not interested in that line before the war have responded to the condi- tions and entered the field where the demands are the greatest.
 It is the war which has given this spurt to business, though it has not been confined to providing munitions, for those concerns which are engaged in putting out foodstuffs and peace products have likewise felt the inn provement. Not only are they feeling the effects of changed conditions, but they are making preparations to ham dle the business for such a period as the war may last.
 The one unfortunate fact in connec- tion with the improvement is that it Is due to the war. The country is de- sirous of the better times. but it would prefer that they should come for other reasons and it is not too early to an- ticipate the time when war will not be contributing to this country's pros perity. The war. is acting as a big tariff wall for this country. It is giv- ing temporary confidence to the man ufacturer and resulting in business expansion, but the prospects are not so promising for the period after Eu- rope gets back to normal conditions and it is time that this country through its lawmakers should give serious thought to the situation. With bus mess stimulation coming through pro- lection furnished by the war no time should be lost in securing the same protection through legislation after the war is tended. The business of the country needs it.

WHAT THE BOYS GAN DO.

The idea of giving the boys chance to get thoroughly in touch with agri- cultural problems and modern methods of farming by interesting them in such work through boys clubs and con tests has been recognized throughout the country as one of much value. There is hardly state where it is not being carried out in some manner and the appearance in Washington of a party of 28 young men representing the winners of contests in their par ticular line of effort from the state of California, shows not only that interest can be developed, but that the education thus gained is bound to be of much value to the state as well as the individual.
 Some idea of the importance of their accomplishments is given by the state ment that their efforts have resulted in an increase of 400 per cent of the average yield of the potato raiser Of that state that pork raising has been so carefully studied and followed that porkers have been made to gain three pounds a day for ten consecutive days and that profit of as much as $250 an acre has been made on potatoes and mixed vegetables.
 These results from California are only in keeping with similar records which have been made by boys in other sections of the country and it is especially gratifying that the move ment is meeting with such excellent results. What they have done others can do and are doing and the rewards which go to the winners in contests of that character are spurring along an interest which means much to the fu- ture of agriculture in this country.

 that it is unwilling to accept the ad- vice of these nations. for even though Japan appears to be anxious that China should avoid civil strife, which it believes would follow the change. it nevertheless cannot overlook the grow ing concern which the country Of tho mflzado has been manifesting in it's affairs.
 Under ordinary circumstances 1t might be expected that these countries which have sought to block the change would have been the first to endorse it since it indicates an approval of the forms of government which they consider best. but for reasons of their own they undoubtedly see an advan- tage in the retention of the republic for carrying out their plans in the east which have kept China on un- easy street for a long period.
