Would Withdraw Old Ships.

Discussing the loss of the battleshir
Formidable and similar naval disas
tiers to the British navy since the be
ginning of the war, the naval CORE.
spondent Of the London Times urges
that these more or less obsolete war
ships" which are being used for coast
patrol duty. might profitably be rele.
gated to the Junk heap, and their
places taken by fleet merchant ves-
sells. This suggestion is made because
the loss Of trained men In one Of these
old battleships is irreparable.
A soldier may be trained in a few
months" says the expert, but 1t takes
as many years to develop the skilled
man-of-war's man.
These old battleships, moreover.
not only carry very large crews, but
also are very vulnerable to mine and
torpedo.
1t is possible, then, that It may be
found expedient to pay of some of the
older and less well-protected ships and
to provide for the service they have
been doing in other ways. For patrol
and search work. for instance, fast
merchant vessels with few light
guns would be just as effective as the
slower and more heavily armored yes
sells. In any case such vessels, If
threatened by superior hostile force,
must rely on speed and not on firing

Although Lord Fisher is four years
older than the regulation age at
which q naval officer may normally
hope to be employed, his methods at
the admiralty give little indication of
the advance Of years. A short time
ago he pounced upon department

certain number Of new vessels were
required. The number, 1t may be
mentioned. was about six or seven

Dean Of Kansas College Tells Of

For the past seven or eight years
Kansas growers of alfalfa or clover
seed have suffered considerable losses
from the damage of the clover chal-

lessor Of entomology in the Kansas
state agricultural college. "At the
present time there seems to be no
specific remedy or cure. but the ex-
termination of this pest would be

consistently followed"
The clover chalcis fly. or as it Is
better known. the alfalfa chalcis, is a
small, four-winged insect about one
tenth of an inch long. The adult
flies deposit their eggs in the soft,
partly grown seeds. Here the eggs
develop and the larvae feed upon the
inner portion of the seeds. At the
time when the seeds become ripe,

Rule would say, AS you would that
your children should do to you when
you become advanced in years. do even
SO to your parents. Children should
get this viewpoint If every child
were taught along this line. when it
reached maturity the parent would
have no need to worry about the
child's manifesting gratitude for the
parental love and care which it has
received. The parent would say, MY
children have had the principles of
justice so deeply ingrained from child
hood that they would be entirely dis
satisfied with anything wrong"
We have spoken of the employer; let
us now look at the employee. Imagine
their positions reversed. What would
each think 1t right to do for his EN-
ployes or toward his employer? What
would be the right kind OF terms, the
right kind OF feeling? 3his course
would bring about great change be-
tween employers and employees.
So as we consider what would be the
right thing to do, and are willing to do
what is right, we become more just in
our dealings with all, including our
business associates. Whether we buy
or sell, there Is fair. reasonable way
OF dealing. 1t is wrong to buy 80 as
to cause those who sell to lose money.
We should be satisfied that the man
who sells goods to us should make a
reasonably fair profit. If We were
selling. we should expect to make
reasonably fair profit, not an unjust
one. The Golden Rule would regulate
the matter.
