FALLAcY OF LONG STANDING
That Frost IS Most Likely to Occur

the moon cannot affect the weather.
In the first place. more light is re-

and, moreover. the greatest reflection

Of view then 1t should be warmer in

should disprove any argument that

Nova scotla's History.

When discovered by the British In
1879 Nova Scotia was not named.
A few years later It was settled by
the French, who called It Acadia. II
passed to the English BY the treaty Of
Utrecht, in l71s, ana they changed the
name from Acadia to Nova Scotia.
This name was FIRST used In a grant
made by King James I. who was born
IN Scotland, and chose a name In
honor OF his native country. The
royal grant under the name was made
10 Sir William Alexander, a Scotch
man, who wrote poor poetry, and was
created Lord Stirling by King James.

equipped with aids to naval bet
torment, which none of his pre-
~decessors possessed. He has an
Advisory Board composed of
twenty-three of the most emil
nent inventors, scientists and
engineers Of the country. 1t will
be the duty of this board to help
things to make naval defense
more efficient. This covers a
wide range of activities.
Perhaps one of it's most impor-
tant duties will be to give con-
sideration to the multitude of
ideas and inventions which are
constantly being offered the
government for inspection and
adoption, and as constantly ig-
nored. Inventors complain loud
ly that they can not even get a
hearing in the Army and Navy
departments for their ideas.
Doubtless the vast majority of
devices and ideas are impracti-
cal.
The railroads have found such
to be the case, yet the railroads
have secured some wonderful de-
vices in this way. Men who
know nothing practically about
~railroading feel themselves com
petent to invent car couplings,
switching devices, brakes, ETC.,
nearly all of which fail in some
important practical detail.
This is true, no doubt, of de-
vices and ideas offered the gov
eminent. Yet in the vast
amount Of chaff there must be
some wheat, and it is worth the
winnowing to discover it. It viii
be remembered that Erickson
could get little encouragement
from the government for the
Monitor. The nation was then
in a death grspple for its life,
and yet the inventor of the Mon
itor could make little progress,
and finally had to construct the
first ship with private capital,
and actually win a battle with it
before he could get the govern
ment to accept it.
If the inventor of the greatest
revolution in modern naval con-
struction had such difficulty in
war, what obstacles must the
inventors in peace encounter.
Here is a board composed of men
with open minds and approach
ing the subject from many diff
ferent angles. Neither profess
sional arrogance nor minds run
ming all in one groove will be en-
countered on this board. If there
is anything at all in an idea or a
devise, somebody in this number
is certain to see it. We may
reasonably expect that, through
this means, the inventive genius
of the entire country will be
made available for this problem
of national defense.
Secretary Daniels deserves
credit for putting this idea into
concrete form, regardless of who
may have been its originator.
The devotion of their time and
talents to the service of their
country without compensation
by these men of science and ac-
complishment is an exhibition of
the highest ideal of American
patriotism.-St. Louis Star.
