WHEN WAR ENDS

TETHETHER the United States can

leading export nation of the
world is a problem now receiving the
attention of the businessmen of
America. 1t was the European war
that gave the United States it's present

the war shall close is the great ques-
ton which very properly causes anx-
iety among men who are financially
interested in the continuance of that
partially restored prosperity now pre-
vailing in some sections of the country.
Men who are accustomed to deal
ing with conditions rather than the
ories and who build on reasonable
certainties rather than on possibilities
do not overlook the fact that in July,
1914. just before the outbreak of the
European war. there was very alarm
ing balance of trade against the United
States. They will not forget that the
balance of trade turned against us
soon after the tariff or-revenue-only'
policy was decided upon by the cleo
ton of a Democratic administration
, and that 1t was only the conditions
developed by the European war which
turned the tide in our favor.
Will the balance of trade turn
against us again when the cause which
turned 1t in our favor has been re-
moved? Most businessmen are an

KNOW YOUR GOVERNMENT

TIME attention of our readers is
directed to the large advertise
ment printed elsewhere in this
issue. which explains in detail a most
important educational campaign TO be
undertaken by The Telegraph.
This campaign consists of the dis
tribution among our readers, at cost
price, of the two great patriotic books.
1.-THE American Government" and
"The Panama Canal" both by Frederic
J. Haskin.
There has never been a time in the
history of this country when informa-
tion about the size and conduct of
the government was so much needed
by its people. There are many stu
dents of world politics who contend
that the great war now being waged
ir Europe is but the forerunner of a
similar clash between this country,
founded on the idea of individual
liberty and free institutions, and a
powerful militaristic autocracy which
will challenge us and seek to curtail
the further extension of our national

While every good citizen hopes that
the time may never come when the
sons OF this peaceable nation may
have to take up arms in its defense,
it is. nevertheless, incumbent upon
every citizen. young and old alike. to
be posted about what his government
Is doing.
That is why the Telegraph is under
taking the distribution of these books,
which explain in simple, accurate
style the working side of the entire
federal government, as we'll as that of
its greatest single enterprise, the
Panama Canal
There is no thought of profit for
the Telegraph in this distribution. 1t
is simply an opportunity for this
newspaper to serve it's function as q
disseminator of beneficial information,
put out in such a form that it can be
used for handy and permanent
reference. This is why the conditions
on which our readers may obtain
these valuable books are made so
easy.
No matter what your work or inter
ests may be, no matter what kind of
an American you are, you will highly
prize these excellent books for the
mass Of remarkable facts they con-
tain, and for the stimulating effect
they will have upon your patriotism.
This end being accomplished, the
Telegraph will feel amply repaid for
having placed them IN your hands.

SCIENTIFIC HARVESTING

Harvesting wheat is a strenuous life.
For days before the harvesting season
begins men and teams are kept busy
erecting temporary cook-houses and
sleeping quarters. These are located in
the midst of the vast wheat fields.
Wells are dug, sheds built and stalls
run for the horses. Bedding and kitchen
utensils are taken TO the camps last OF
all. Everything necessary for the men
and teams is on the field when the har-
vest starts. At no place in the big fields
will men be out of hearing of the din
ner horn, which sounds mighty good.
after six hours of sweltering toll
The men rise at o'clock in the
morning and work in shifts until in
the evening. with short intervals for
food and rest This is the way a great
wheat crop is garnered, the whole sys-
tenn being as efficient as that which
regulates a gang of skilled mechanics
on modern skyscraper contract. A
season in the wheat fields will convince
anyone that bread does not come with
out perspiration, and that modern
farming as conducted. to-day is on a
scientific and commercial scale of which
the farmers of the last generation
could never have dreamed.

If you'll simply go after that thing
that you want
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity.
Faith, hope and confidence, stern
pertinacity,
If neither cold poverty famished and

that you want,
If dogged and grim you beslege and

NEW LIGHT ON, CHINS
BY Frederic J. Haskin

nROBABLY the most widely
known and accepted tenet OF
the physiognomists is that the
chin is a reliable index to power of
will. The indomitable hero of the
popular novel is invariably endowed

chin is the most important ornament
of facial architecture. Everybody
knows that a man with a big. strong

gists, of the greatest weight and repu-
tation, who have spent their lives ana
Lying the human physiognomy and
tracing its evolution, to say that this
popular belief in. the Importance Of
chins is all bosh. For example, Dr.
Ales Hrdlicka of the National Mu-
scum, who is Uncle Sans chief an
thropologist, says the chin is useful
as lever for masticating food and
talking; but that it proves absolutely
nothing about your ability or DISPOSE
ton. ---.
Dr. Hrdlicka is willing to acknowl-
edge the significance of other features
of the human head. The upper skull,
for example, as it indicates the size
and shape of the brain, is really worth
studying; but the chin has no anatomi-
cal connections which give it any i'm
pOEldHCe dS all lllueA 10 CHARACTER.
Sir Ray Lancaster, a London an
thropologist, joins the American au-
thority in this assault upon the chin
as an indication of will power, and
Henry Boileau, of France, adds his
voice to the now international discus
sion, expressing the same opinion, and
explaining the evolution of the chin
in a way that leaves it quite an insig-
nificant feature.
Had No Chin At All
This evolution of the chin is, in fact,
the pemm!can of the whole argument.
Prehistoric. man. according to all the
remains that have ever been found of
him, had no chin at all. He had pow
erful jaws, and enough teeth for two
modern men, but the chin proper was
lacking.
Tracing the descent of man, accord
ing to the Darwinian theory, we find
him gradually acquiring chin as he
evolved toward q higher type, until
finally the chin finds its ideal develop
III ent in the modern civilized man. The
widespread belief that the chin, is an
indication of desirable qualities is un-
doubtedly founded upon this scienti-

orders" that formed the basis of a
favorable trade balance, that balance
can continue only so long as the war
shall remain a factor in international
commerce.
There are several facts which no
one disputes:
First. the call OF millions of men in
Europe from industrial activity to
military operations decreased produc-
ton on that continent.
Second. the war not only decreased
production abroad. but destroyed
many products already manufactured
and created new and enormous mar
kets.
Third, the only large producing ma
tion ready to supply the commodities
most in demand by reason of the war
was the United States; hence this
country received a greater part OF the
war orders.
Fourth, as soon as the armies Of
Europe are disbanded, those millions
of men will return to manufacturing
and other productive enterprise.
Fifth, European nations will be i'm
poverished. and the United States, as
a result of its large favorable trade
balance. will be the only country in
a position to buy extensively.
Sixth. as a consequence of high
prices paid by buyers of war equip
ment, wages in many American indus
tries have been increased. and when
European producers again begin activ-
ity the American producer will be
thrown into competition with factories
paying the lowest scale OF wages,
while American mills pay the highest.
The foregoing facts present a sit
uation which the businessmen of
America must meet, and they are now
giving it most careful thought. 1t is
g situation which will confront not
merely large manufacturers of the
country. but every farmer, merchant,
mechanic and laborer who depends for
a livelihood upon the general pros
perity Of the nation.

ELECTRIC FIRST AID
Many municipalities Employ Modern
Type Vehicles For Ambulance
Work
LFrom the Electri,


Electric ambulances are now being
used in many of the largest cities. They
possess many inherent Advantages over
a horse drawn ambulance or a gaso-
line ambulance. The electric ambu-
lance is sanitary and odorless, prac-
tically noiseless, gives minimum vi
bration and is more readily controlled
than any other type. The electric is
q good investment because IL is wonder
fully efficient, has a low upkeep cost
and can be depended upon when on the
road. Owing to its few wearing parts
II is seldom in the repair shop.
The electric ambulance is easier
handled in heavy traffic. 1t is held
down to sane speed. which speed is
absolutely limited by gear ratios yet it
is so flexible and is under such perfect
control that ii can maintain a higher
rate of speed through crowded streets
than the gasoline ambulance. It picks
up speed quickly without jerking. due
to the gentle, even acceleration of it's
revolving motor and component driv-
ing parts. The ambulance speeded un
to thirty or forty miles an hour is a
menace to both public and patient.
Speed magnifes trihing bumps and
inequalities of surface such as are
found on our smoothest streets. Hence
the speed of the electric, once consider
ed a handicap, is a decided adantage.
especially when combined with perfect
control.

flc fact that ii has grown with the ad-
vance of civilization.
But the modern anthropologist pro-
ceeds to offer several explanations of
this chin development which rob it of
all real significance. The most inter-
estinE of these, put forward by Henri
Boileau of France, is that the human
chin is secondary sexual characteristic
evolved for its esthetic value in the
mating process. Translated from Dar-
winian into plain English, this means
that woman, even when she lived in a
cave and wore fig-leaf had as strong
"a liking for the broad and beautiful
chin as she has to-day. True. there
were not many chins to choose from
back in paleolithic times, but. never
theless, she always chose the cave man
that had the nearest thing to a chin.
Thus were brought into the world
many little cave dwellers with rudi-
mentary chins, and the social advan-
tage which this conferred insured the
propagation of the most chinful
type.
Civilized Man Needs 1t
Another purely physiological ex-
PLANTATION of the civilized chin, Offered
by the anthropologists, is that a great
er chin was needed by civilized man
because of the great amount of talking
that he has to do. The genio-glossal
muscles, which are the motive power
of speech, are largely located between
the lower jaws, and the chin had to
front to make room for them, as man
had more and more to say. 1t may
be objected, in a not altogether face
tious way, that this theory would fail
to explain the fact that the male chin
is generally better developed than the
female.
Finally, if you do not like either of
these theories, there is yet another one
that as man came to stand erect and
throw out his chest, his chin went up
end forward and grew into a more
prominent position as natural con-
sequence.
On the whole, the scientific investi-
gators seem to have knocked the ply
siognomists into a cooked hal, The
owners of large and impressive chins
need no longer feel that they are
therefore persons of unusual will and
energy, unless they have demonstrated
the fact. More>important yet, the in
dividual whose chin intrudes but
slightly over the edge of his collar,
need no longer lack confide1ce in his
powers, either mental or moral.

The Houston Post, referring to the
Columbia States desire to have Mr.
Taft elected an honorary member of the
Democratic party, defines an honorary
Democrat as one who is permitted to
vote the ticket but not to hold office
We think this definition a little lacking
in truth. An honorary Democrat is a
colored voter in a Southern State who
is permitted to put Republican ticket
into the ballotbox and have It counted
for the Democratic candidates.
