BETTER SPELLING DESIRED.

One of the most promising innova-
tions in higher education is Harvard's s
action in regard to better spelling in
colleges and universities. The ap-
pointment of a committee from fac
ulty to devise means for improving
the spelling and English composition
of students will be hailed in some
quarters as the most important ed
ucational movement of the present
time.
Spelling has almost become a lost
art in some of our higher institutions
of learning and the efforts to revive
it at Harvard will necessarily have a
beneficial influence everywhere.
There is no reason to believe that
conditions are worse at Harvard than
at any other university. 1t is para
doxical state of affairs when the grade
student can outspell the college grad
uate In the pursuit of the higher
IDEALS" spelling too often has been
relegated to the limbo of the non-es-
sential. The little red school house"
methods are still good.

TO DRILL HOLES IN GLASS
and OIL, VIII Do the Work Well
and Quickly.

The following is a satisfactory
method of drilling holes in glass:
Take a piece of straight copper the
size of the hole that it is required to
drill. The tubing should have a wall
of one-thirty-second of an inch or
more in thickness. depending upon
the diameter. The tube is set up in a
drill chuck and driven at a speed cor
responding to that of a twist drill of
the same size. The tube is fed down
on to the glass with an intermittent
movement, and a mixture of emery
and oil is dropped ON to the glass at
the point where the hole is to be
drilled After a ring has been cut
in the glass on one side the work is
turned over and the drilling com
pleted from the opposite side. This
will prevent chipping the glass when
the drill nears the opposite side. The
copper tubing is soft, so that it holds
the emery, and as copper is an excel
lent conductor of heat it draws the
heat away from the glass. preventing
1t from being cracked. An idea Of
the rapidity with which holes can be
drilled in this way may be gathered
from the fact that a fve-sixteenths-
inch hole can be drilled through an
ordinary sheet of window glass in
seven minutes,

From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
Senator Sheppard. of Texas, a Democrat.
but leader in the movement for National
prohibition. says that the economic phase
of the prohibition question will be discussed
in all its bearings at the National Prohibi-
ton Convention to be held at Atlantic City
early in July, and action of National interest
taken then.
This is an important announcement.
The present strength of the prohibition
movement astonishing alike to friend and
foe-is based almost exclusively upon agi-
tation of the moral phase of the question.
1t is not difficult to point out the evil of
excessive drink, or of the debasing influ-
ence Of the saloon in politics. particularly
municipal politics. The saloon as political
headquarters is curse, and has assisted
in much municipal corruption. Wherever
this theme has been handled the effect has
been to make converts to the prohibition
cause.
But the very success of the moral phase
has made prominent the economic phase
Of prohibition. They are indissolubly con-
nected. Enormous sums of money are in
vested in distilling, brewing and saloon
properties. Very large sums are collected
from those properties in the way of taxes.
And labor is to be considered. Statistics
show that great numbers of men, with
families depending on them. are employed
by those properties
All this enters into the equation. The
prohibition question cannot be settled adj
moral phase. Consideration must be given
to the other phase and the prohibitionists
are wise in assigning it place on their
programof discussion for this July meeting.
There are embarrassments ahead for
both parties in this matter, The prohibi.
tionists are preparing to move on the works
Of both at next years national conventions
with demand for recognition in the plat
forms and in the records of the nominees.
II they are denied, those who are Demo-
Gratis and those who are Republicans will
have to choose between their old assoca.
tons and straightout prohibition ticket
If their demands are in part granted-un.
qualified prohibition is not expected from
either of the old parties-the compromise
will have to be drawn with the Creates
skill.
Among those mentioned for President
on prohibition ticket intended to draw
votes from both the Democratic and the
Republican party, Mr.. Hobson at present
has the call. He is now in private life
and free to act as best suits his views anC
purposes. He is intensely for prohibition
and employing his time in the interests
