The Protective Shirt

Alomst every day something happens to remind of the advisability of keeping shirts until the supreme, psychological moment comes to take them off. We have just gone through River side Park Grab" scare That is, only a scared. and the few allowed themselves to be wrought a the hottest days of the year. For the populace generally the thermometer registered the shade. But some. a excellent citizens did remain iii the shade. They cavorted around in the and courted un pleasant conditions.
 They had heard that the commission was going 10 buy Riverside Park figures ranging from S6O.00O to $75,O00; the commission going % do night while the people slept, and therefore the excited few could not sleep. While the com mission was robbing the treasury, the time, 1t was ro5bine the excited few of their natural rest-a double larceny. It occurred to these Inflarned gentlemen that the members of the com might be cf at least ordinary sense and of rudmentary honesty.
 The very wildness of the statement that the commission pay either s6o,o00 S75,0O0 should have been proof to the average citizen in normal mental state unaffected by the heat Of the insane falsity il. There never the slightest ground for believing that the commission intended to take any snap action commit the city to any large and unusual expenditure without ascertaining The sentiment of those most interested The mission could not, would, have purchased the Iark outright ridiculously low price, for fhe reason that there is money available for that purpose. could only lease it take an option on That is all it proposed to do, and il has done it unanimously. What may do after December l depends upon what may happen be- tween now and that time. The city is bound to nothing In the meantime. the grab amounts to tie r7Iinous esq dollars a month This s,n may be saved by injunction proceedings which would cost not than few hundred dollars
 We will do well in md-August to keep our selves clothed in shirts and right minds and to remain in the shade much possible Those of us who the violently affected should apply ice packs to the head.

DISCUSSING OCEAN LlNEPs IMPOSSIBLE

Although it isf fairly to disguise small shlIs like torpedoboat destroyers it is practically Inpossl ble it in the case of the great Atlantic Iners-
 Some people have the idea, for instance, that Tn the of the Lusitania, which flew the American flag, the German sailors would have to come quite close or even the vessel before making sure o identity
 That is the however The enormous bulk of all the big Atlantic liners at once gives them away such and each liner has its own par ticuIar shape and characteristics which are as well known to the Germans they are to the owner or the ship ....,

ONLY CRIMINALS ARE BRAVE
A South American Explorer Wants
 Band of Them to Help Him
IS North First Ave.

Unless Algot Lange, explorer, is seeking to advertise his contemplat- ed travels in South America-prob- ably that is his Object-why does he ask wardens of prisons to re commend former criminals for ser vice with his expedition. MT. Lange wants:
 An ex-lawbreaker with an iron constitution and nerves of steel, who will not quake with fear
 at the cry of wild beasts or fall
 victim to the diseases of the tro- pics or poisonous insects. The explorer is quoted as com plaining that lis assistants upon a former expedition cid not act well under fire" It is for this reason that he seeks a former criminal, or band of them, for his forthcoming exploration.
 If former employees acted badly it was not because they had not picked pockets, burglarized homes or mur- dered feeble old men suspected of having the savings of lifetime hid den under the floor. Policemen, who habitually concern themselves with criminals are probably braver than lnelr quarry III most IHSldHCeS. why not a squad of former "cops" for the trip to the wilds?
 Unless MT. Lange is former criminal, why should he believe that criminals are more courageous, more stcel-nerved, more germ proof than persons who have never been kept in prison?
 MT. Lange has done some explor- ing for universities, but that should not give an explorer a freshman's point of view. And, to give the freshman his due, only schoolboys and matinee girls believe seriously that criminals are more game" than other men. Even schoolboys know that having done time does not make a man less susceptible to infection when he is in the tropics.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

APPEAL IS ADDRESSED
Continued from Page One)

Not only had the Latin American diplomats made clear that they ob- feet to such a course or to any which might impair NeXico's sov- ereignty, but the president ard Secretary Lansing were equally anX- ious that the present peace plan Rs accompanied by no physical act. For this reasone Secretary Lansing took occasion at the very outset of the conference to explain to the diplo- mats that the warships yesterday ordered to Vera Cruz were sent for tEe protection of Americans and foreigners, to afford place of ref uge. ard render such assistance as may be necessary if lives are 6ndan gered.
 The next session of the conference will probably be held in Washington as soon as replies are received to the ap- peal which it is expected will be in two weeks At the end of that time those who have not responded will probably be regarded as having no intention of answering.
 It was learned tonight that the Washir gton government following the traditional policy of abstaining from Jolnt acton Tn d1pIOndtlc sense SuS- gested that the communications to go forward be identical, each government signing in reality as a separate and distinct expression of it's part
 The six countries taking part in the peace plan were selected because the amblssG dors and ministers are ranking diplomats of the Latin American diplo- matic corps. Whenever recognition IS formally extended it is expected all the other governments of the Latin Amer jeans will also act identically with the United States.

BUT THE WOMEN DENY IT

An Englishman wrote in the New York Times the other day that Amerl- can women so completely dominated American men that (briefly) this coun- try was becoming weak, feeble and Womanish. The next day there were seven letters in the Times indignantly denying this; the sense of them all was that American women are not dispro- pOrtionately active and articulate.
 Each of the seven letters was by an American woman.-Don Marquis in the Outlook

ALLOW SOME INCREASES
Sweeping Freight Rate Increases Sought Are Somewhat Modified
 ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Sweeping freight rate increases sought by car riers in western territory on the ground of the generally poor financial condition of the lines. and decreased earnings were refused by the Inter state Commerce Commission and the advanced rates approved representing comparatively small portion of the amount sought The commission voted five to two. Commissioners Daniels and Harlan holding the additional in creases were justified by the carriers. An incomplete summary of-the com missions action shows that rates es- timated to produce approximately $6,000,O0O were rejected while the ap- proved increases will add about $1, 100000 to the carriers revenues.

Into the manufacture of shells and cartrioSes there enter metals and explosives The metals are easy to obtain and the means Of Worklng them are not difficult. Companies engaged in other hnes or manufacture can make the metal parts of shells but onl,, nowder manufacturers make the essarv explosives, says Engineering Magazine II would seem probable that the production or amnlu- milton has been limited by the supply of powder rather than by the capacity for making the rest of the shells. this difficulty is rendered less by the practice largely followed of shipping the shells unchanged and letting the foreign govern ments insert he powder.

MERCURY KILLS GERMS

Mercury is the destroyer of germ diseases in plants brought out in the Tyrol by F. K Bickel. The vapor may be used in greenhouses, but in the open air the metal in the usual liquid form is injected into the cir culating fluids of the plants being treated. In trees, several eighth-inrh holes are bored through the pith in the lower branches, filled with mer- cury and sealed with wax-a six teenth to a fourth of an ounce of mercury being used for each tree. The germicide effect is said to con- tinue> at least a year, and growth is not retarded.

Secretary Bryan Resigns

Secretary of State W. J. Bryan re-
signed from the Cabinet Tuesday.
Friction between himself and other
members Of the Cabinet is given as
the cause. He and the President
could not become reconciled over the
wording of the latest note to Germany,
Mr.. Bryan thinking that it's wording
gave the note too much the tone of an
ultimatum, but being the only one in
the Cabinet who held that view he
thought it best to get out and avoid a
serious break in the Presidents offlc-
ial family. Mr.. Bryan has been secre-
tary Of state since the beginning of
the present administration, and ex-
preSSions of regret at his resignation
poured in from all over the country
when the fact became known. He
will retire to private life and continue
working as private citizen in the
cause of peace. The administration
loses an able Official in his retirement.

Senator Thompson Here.

Senator w. II. Thompson Of Kansas
is in Liberal this week looking after a
few cases in district court and renew
ing acquaintance with the folks
around here. Notwithstanding the SEN
ator's close association with the high
and mighty for several years, he has not
"lost the common touch" and is kept
busy shaking hands with old friends
when not engaged in trying case in
court. This was our first meeting
with Senator Thompson, but the rea-
son of his great popularity among the
people of Kansas is very clear to us
now. He has winning personality
and keen insight into human affairs,
two virtues that are bound to spell
success for any individual.

Harvest Help

Farmers who will require help dur
ing the harvest should early arrange
in some way for their needs. Griffith
& Baughman have received a very
large number of inquiries from per-
sons who wish to work in the harvest
These inquiries have been obtained
by their advertising for the benefit of
the community, and they ask that
each one who needs help will within
the next few days call at their office
and look over the applications, and
arrange to have this help when they
need it. They also have application
from experienced engine-men, header
men, and women cooks. etc. In re-
turn for the interest this firm has
shown, come in and place your orders,
so they in turn can advise the appli-
cants. Don't put off, as hundreds Of
other wheat fields will also want help
and by arranging early it will make
more certain that we can secure the
necessary help. Griffith & Baughman
are donating their services free to
help out, and they ask intelligent CO.
operation from our farmers. Don't
put it off.

FORD COMPANY FAVORS OIL
 FROM WESTERN CRUDE

The Petroleum News, in recent issue, published an article on oil tests. Speaking of the Ford Con- pany's experience with oils, the ar ticle says:
 'The Ford Company in it's huge plant at Highland Park, Detroit, maintains a well equipped laboratory and a chemist with trained assist ants, who are continually at work trying to find the ideal motor oil for use in Ford cars.
 We worked for three years in our laboratory before we found the motor oil now being used in the Ford plant said c. T. Hobart, head of the service department of the Ford Company.
 '' Our experiments were first made with oil made from Pennsylvania crude said MT. Hobart. We found we had better success, however, when we used crude.
