HAD TO PROVE THE HABIT
Man Who Had Allowed Himself tho
Practice Of Keeping Left Eye
Closed, Got in Much Trouble.

Physicians Of birmingham, Ala, re-
Gently called attention to the case of
Thomas Armstrong, a boy of twelve
years, who uses his hands as well as
his feet for locomotion instead of
walking erect. He has never known
any other way of getting about. The
Juvenile court took the boy in charge
in the hope of teaching him normal
walking methods.
Charles Appleton of New Orleans
was the subject of illustration at a
lecture given by a physician in that
city not long ago. He had contracted
the habit of closing his left eye. He
said it rested his sight, he fancied,
the left eye being the weaker of the
two. The habit grew until he was
not using it for reading purposes.
At the lecture 1t was recited that
OF the habit, but without success, UNI
til he met with an adventure on a
street car that ruf1ed him considera-
bly,. A woman boarded the car on
which he was a passenger. He had
his left eye closed as usual. She cas-
ually glanced at Appleton and re-
marked the closed eye without there
seeming to be any cause for an ap-
parent affection. She looked once or
twice again and made such an impress
sion on Appleton that he was startled
out of his habit and opened his eye.
The woman looked, started, denounced
him as a ~fiirter, complained to the
conductor, waxed angrier the more she
thought of the affair and finally had
Appleton arrested. He had to prove
his peculiar habit in order to escape
a fine.

STIRRED UP BY THE SLOUGH
British Writers Still Inclined to OBJ

Genus Nut.

Every age has it's own name for
him, but essentially he remained the
same until a subversive twentieth cen

whose dandyism consists in an afincta-
ton of the %slovenly, a denial OF the

no style at all, only mannerism, which
is the death of style.
The loose drab clothing that came
in with speed, speed of earth or air,
may amount in some measure for tho
nut. These brown husks, we know,
contain a kernel that is man; but his
godlike shape is disguised quite as
much as woman's has been revealed
by recent fashion.

chronic roundness Of shoulder is tho
eternal sign of a strenuous life and OF
a body perpetually arched over the

hat, TANNED jealousy over his eyes,
tells of continual battling with the

his gray torpedo of a racing car, he
has no use for elegance. He is mere

ALL SHOULD LEARN TO SWIM
Accomplishment Easy to Acquire and
May at Any Time Be Ct
Vital Importance.

II was very glad that | took swim
ming lessons at Havergal." said little
Helen O'Hara. Well she might be, for
otherwise she wound not have SUR
vived the sinking Of the Empress OF
Ireland. When the little girls OF eight
and ten years survive where strong
men drown the moral is not to be
escaped. 1t is art, not strength, which
conquers the t~reacherous element.
Giant muscles beat themselves out
idly in the water unless there is a
knowledge of how to make the water
q servant.
No swimmer rears himself above tho
waves in the impossible n al
tempted by the ignorant person in tho
water whose impulse is to lift himself
above the level of the waves as though
he were pulling himself over a fence.
The swimmer knows when it is safe
to open his mouth, and that he must
not breathe If his nostrils are full OF
water. Panic, strangling and heart
failure cause many deaths in the wa
ter. The swimmer has a chance for
his life because his accomplishment
enables him to keep his wits as well as
his wind and strength. He knows bet
ter than anybody that he cannot swim
ashore, but he knows also that he can
get to a deck chair or a plank or d
lifeboat, if it is within reasonable dis
lance. The swimmer knows that he
can help others TO help him, and it is
no little thing to be of help to a res
cuer at a time when economy Of time
means saving others lives as well as
your own.
Now is just the time to make this
lesson profitable to i%nnumerable thou
sands. II is the outing season. Learn
ing should not be delayed because the
prospect Of an ocean voyage is small.
Lives may be lost or saved in a duck
pond as well as the ocean. Those who
go down to the sea in ships or row
boats alike should learn both what to
do and what not to do on and in the
water. The element should be re-
spected rather than feared. No lib
critics should be taken with it, but it
should not be allowed to end your life
before your time. Learn to swim, learn
this season, and you will be glad as
long as you live, even though your life
never should be in danger on the
water.

Great Salt Production.

The marketed production of salt In
the United States, including Hawaii
and Porto Rico, in 1913 reached the
record-breaking total of 34,399.29S bar
rels of $50 pounds each. or 4,815,902
short tons. The value of the product
was $~10,123,139. These figures are
the greatest yet recorded by the Uni
ted States geological uryey for the
salt industry in the United States,
and they represent an increase OF 3
per cent in quantity produced and OF
nearly 8 per cent in value compared
With 1912.

Was Noted Catholic PreIate.

James Roosevelt Bayley, the pred

doubts, he visited Rome in 1S41 and

ALL IN REALITY TEuToNs
Great Nations Of the Present Got Their
Ideals From Germanic
Sources.

Teutonic civilization crossed the
channel and laid the foundation Of
England. There 1t has been preserved
In a purer state than in any other part
of the globe, except in Scandinavia.
The free ideals which England has
spread broadcast throughout the world
are her heritage from the Saxon free
men who founded a new Germany in
Britain, while military despots did vio-
Ience t o German ideals in central
Europe.
There is no civilization worthy the
name except Teutonic civilization. 1t
fills Europe and America; it dominates
Asia and Africa. It's seat is in London
and Paris, and Rome and Brussels,
and Copenhagen and Stockholm, and
New York and Philadelphia, no less
than in Berlin and Vienna.
Because we inherit the blood of the
Saxons or the Normans or the Franks
or the L~ongobards we are all Ger
mans but more especially are we Ger
mans because our most priceless herit-
age is the free ideals Of those free
men.
1t is idle, therefore, to talk of preju-
dice against Germans in this conflict
And it is equally futile TO argue that
Teutonic civilization is at stake in a
war in which the most potent factors
on either side are themselves the ripest
product of that civilization watered
by the most ancient German blood

EVANGELINE'S LAND IN WARTIME
Stories Show That Though Scotia May Not
Know So Much About the War Philadelphia, Her Peo
pe in Quiet Way, Are Very Much Interested"
By RENE KELLY

dian Militia. gave out an interview last fall
saying that fully 100000 Americans had
gone to Canada hoping to join the Canadian
forces"-but no one takes General Sam too
seriously. There have been nearer 1000 than
100000 Americans recruited in Canada-con-
siderably fewer than Canada gave to the
Union during our Civil War (sir John A.
Macdonald, Canadian Prime Minister, said
at the time that there had been 40, 900 Cana
dian enlistments) However that may be- no
one can fairly say that Nova Scotia is less
interested" in the present war than we of
the United States.
And yet can see Just what that American
girl meant by her remark. Canadians are
not demonstrative people. Quebec and
Ottawa, Sydney and Halifax (also no doubt
st. gohn and st. John's) swarm with men in
khaki-but there is no fuss made over the
heroes OF the Maple Leaf. A Boston doctor
complained to me because at Canso. on the
Gut, the hotel man registered officer after
officer then turned to the Bostonian and
said, Sorry, but we have no more rooms"
The Boston tourist seemed to think he had
some sort Of grievance because he hadn't
mad hrst go! To that extent, at least the
military takes precedence over the civil in
Nova Scotia. But there are no evidences Of
raw recruits march off in the earlv morn
Ing and entrain for Halifax. or when, at the
provincial capital they embark on a trans
port for Valcartier or Bermuda, the crowd
is almost as silent as the crowd in Grafton
street, Dublin, when the Tommies of the
garrison went swinging by one morning of
August, 1914. raising their shout, Are we
down-hearted? No-oo-oo!"
The yapping little Toronto weekly called
JACK Canuck makes good deal Of racket
about ill-treatment Of the Canadian soldiers
especially Of invalided veterans, but so far
as a dispassionate observer has noted both
the comforts afforded volunteers and tba
monetary arrangements surpass anything in
past wars. The soldiers pay is high-a dol

a substantial payment to the widow OF anv

DIR. HExAMER's spEcIoUs PLEA

DOCTOR HEXAMER'S protest against the
~ Anglo French loan is superficially shrewd
but fundamentally unsound. There is GER
tain element OF political cunning in his at
tempt 70 call up the bugaboo Of the, Money
Trust and to charge IL with conspiring TO rob
the American people Of their savings for the
benefit OF the Allies. 1t will frighten few
people. deceive a few more and muddle the
thinking of others
The unsoundness of his statement lies In
It's assumption that the loan involves some-
thing more than an arrangement for set
tlng bills already incurred here or about to
be incurred The loan is merely a plan for
deferring payment for supplies needed In Eu-
rope. Negotiable securities, bearing inter-
est are to be issued to create credits in the
banks and bills are to be paid with checks
drawn on the banks, and in Ave or ten years
the loan can be repaid. None Of the money
involved is to go out of the country. 1t Will
all remain here for the development Of our
resources.
There is more involved in the loan, and In
the sale of war munitions also, than the
relation of the United States to the Allies.
That relation is so remote that 1t does not
deserve serious consideration. The right OF
the citizens Of a neutral nation to deal with
DelIlRerentS mas Deen ny thc
United States from the beginning. Our
statesmen have known that circumstances
might arise in which 1t would be necessary
for America to seek munitions abroad and
they have refused to establish any prece-
dent which would Justify any nation in re-
fusing to permit us TO buy munitions. They
have known also that there may come a
time when 1t will be necessary to raise
money abroad for national defense, and they
have thus far refused to interfere with
American money lenders.
Still further, however much the United
States may need its available capital for its
own enterprises, the time is fast coming
when this will be the only nation with
surplus available for developing South
America and rehabilitating Europe. Ordi-
nary business prudence requires us to take
advantage OF every opportunity to strengthen
our position a great international banking
centre, to which men of all nations will
come. We can do this only by accommo-
dating them when they do come with proper
security for the loans which they seek.

CITY OR CENsoRs?

THE courts of Allegheny County have, in
Il recent decision, nulliied the police
rights Of Pennsylvania cities. BY declaring
that the State Board Of Censors for moving
pictures is the final authority, they have
taken away the fundamental power OF each
city to govern itself 1t is impossible to be-
1ieve that this decision viii stand when once
its meaning has been made clear
The Board Of Censors has plenary power to
allow or disallow films for exhibition in this
State. The tyranny of this body has been
suffered only because appeals to the courts
and TO the police have been available as
check upon It, Now the Court has decided
that when film has passed the censors 1t
cannot be stopped by the police.
The full effect of this decision is to tie the
hands OF individuals and to deliver the cities
bound and gagged into the hands of the
board The censorship of plays properly
rests with the people. Their protests are
carried out by the police and by the court.
There Is nothing inherently wrong with the
movies to make another kind Of censorship
necessary. And there is nothing sacrosanct
q0out the Board of Censors to make its
decisions irrevocable. There was almost a
riot on Broad street last night yet the
police were without authority to forbid the
exhibition OF the pictures to which objec-
tion was made. Irrespective of the merits
or denerits Of the particular show, IL is
apparent that the city is placed in an in
tolerable situation.

WHAT ARE TEACHERS UNIONS FOR,

CHICAGO and New York are both much
~ exercised at this time by the prospect
OF unionized labor In their public schools. In
the former city a crisis has come with the
refusal OF the authorities to allow a teachers
union. In New York the question still hangs
fire.
With those who hold that all collective ac-
tivity is criminal when II is conducted by
the laboring classes, there can be no argu-
ment. But open minds will still question
the motive and the manner of the teachers
union Is 1t to be for the benefit OF the
pupils and the schools, or for the benefit
Of the teachers7 Is II to be professional or
personal? Will the teachers insist on a
closed school7
The graver question Is this: Do the teach
ers propose to base membership in their or
ganization on recognized ability and apti-
tude in their profession, or are they pre-
pared to insist upon equal treatment In sal
airy and prerogatives. for every teacher, re-
gardless OF meritY
Before these questions are satisfactorily
answered no judgment can be passed on the
plan. II they are satisfactorily answered
the necessity for teachers union win be
as slight as the danger which may come
from II.
