HAS HAD MANY ICE AGES
Not Strictly Correct to Speak of the
Earth's "GlacinI Epoch"

Everyone with intelligent interest in
the history Of the world on which he
lives has heard Of 9TH, glacial epoch"
or the ice age. The Inhabitants of the
northern portion OF the United States
have no doubt general understanding
that the gravel hills and ridges and the
hugo powders with which they are IA
miliar are due to an Irresistible invasion
from Canada by the great ice sheet
at date just preceding that which
biologists term recent" yet many thou
sands OF years ago.
1t Is. however not strictly correct to
speak of the lice age or the glacial
epoch" for there have been many
them. 1t Is now known that even this
latest or Pleistocene glacial epoch has
several important divisions, and in the
Focky mountain region II appears that
important changes in the form and height
Of the mountains. due to n wearing down
by erosion, took place between the gla-
cial subepochs.
More than 90 years ago It was recog-
nized by English biologists that certain
masses of gravel and breccia ard certain
planed and grooved rock surfaces in
rocks Of Permian age In India indicated
glacial epoch vastly older than that
OF the Canadian ice sheets, but It Is on
~ within the last 81 years that geolo-
g1sts have learned that glacial conditions
have REQUIRED at many different times
in the earth's history. The evidence OF
this has been found in all continents. il
Europe. Asia Africa, Austria. Soutf
and North America. The formation OF
great ice sheets took place at differen
periods in the larger divisions of geo

SULPHUR IN NEW ZEALAND.

Sulphur deposits are found on White
island, In the Bay of Plenty on the coast
Of the North island of New Zealand
about 30 miles from the mainland. This
island, which covers about coo acres
attains a height Of 900 feet on one side
and opens to the sea on the other. Its
topography indicates an old crater and
the boiling lake on the island. which Is
one of the awe-inspiring sights of New
Zealand, Is n further evidence of vol
canism. After the New Zealand sulphur
company had spent 100000 in preparation
for mining sulphur in this locality, vol
canic disturbance wrecked the camp and
killed 10 men.

1t would be absurd to claim that this
steady decline in the license vote Is
wholly due to league activities, but that
our organization has been a helpful
factor In securing the results shown
above is capable of positive proof.
1t must he frankly admitted that our
work In this direction OF law enforce
ment has not been what It ought to be.
Money has been lacking for aggressive
work. But when cases of suspected ille-
gal selling have come to our notice we
have endeavored to take such action as
seemed justified. Some states attorneys
have not shown themselves eager to act;
others have done their full duty and re-
suits have followed. For obvious reasons
We do not proclaim from the housetops
our activities along this line
WORK AT STATE HOUSE.
1t Is known to all that when the pre-
sent administration of the league began
there was an unfricndly feeling toward
our work at the State House In Mont
pelier. and our first business was to try
to remove the existing prejudlces.
Several bills We're introduced in the
LEGISLATURE OF 1912 which were intended
traffic. Every one OF these was defeat
ed. The most important of them was an
innkeepers license bill which had influ-
entail backing. 1t was vigorously oppos-
ed by the league and in the end was
fairly laughed out of court with not n
voice raised in its behalf.
Several bills designed to restrict the
traffic still further We're passed by that
Legislature. one of them being a bill TO
prohibit public officials taking out liquor
licenses. This bill was drafted In the
league office and carried through the
Legislature under league auspices. 1t
has compelled several men to choose be-
tween liquor selling and holding public
office.
In the spring of 1914 the league inaug-
urated a movement for the passage OF
n statewide prohibitory referendum law,
This action was endorsed by many influ-
entail organizations and thousands of
names We're signed to petitions In behalf
of such legislation. All candidates for
the State Senate were Intercepted ms

Commissioner of Agriculture e. o.
Bruner, and Farm and Truck Remon-
strator H. D. Wilson, was held Feb. z
in the Governors Office relative to hold
ing agricultural meetings throughout
the state some time in the spring. The
program is to get DR.. Dowling's car,
load it with Louisiana's products, run
into a town, there to be placed In the
hands of local committee who will
furnish conveyances to take the speak
ers to the country schools, where a
meeting will have already been well
advertised, to speak to the school chill
dren and the farmers of that particular
neighborhood, on farming, stock rails
ing, health and educational conditions,
and Louisiana generally.
On this train will be the Governor,
the Commissioner of Agriculture and
Immigration, the Superintendent of

PEACE PROMOTERS PROPHEsY
ULTIMATE SUCCESS OF EFFORTS

The Carnegie Endowment for Inter
national Peace issues this circular:
We wish to say to all friends of peace
that the dreadful war now raging af
fords no just cause for encouragement
no discredit to past efforts, and no rea
son to doubt that still greater efforts in
the future may be effective and useful
The war itself is teaching the gospel
Of peace through lesson so shocking
and SO terrible that the most indiffer
ent can not fail to attend and under
stand it.
Not only have the destruction of life,
the devastation and the suffering in
the warning countries passed all ex.
perience, but the cessation of produc.
ton, the closing of markets, the block.
ing of trade routes, the interruption of
exchanges, have affected industry and
caused ruin and poverty in all the
peaceful countries of the world.
The universal interdependence of ma,
tons has been demonstrated and the
truth forced upon every mind that the
peace Of all nations Is the vital concern
Of every nation.
To cast our weak protest now among
the tremendous forces that are urging
on the great conflict would be futile;
but the end of this war will come be-
fore long and then the great question
will stand for answer:
Shall the lesson be forgotten; the
sacrifice lost?
That question the belligerent nations
only will have the power to answer;
but every one in the world will be
entitled to be heard upon it, for it will
be question Of civilization, the most
momentous Of our era.
1t seems incredible that after this
the stricken people will set their feet
in the same old paths of policy and
suspician which must lead them again
to the same result.
Finding expression through a great
multitude of voices everywhere the
general public opinion of mankind
should influence the minds of the
'negotiators who settle the terms of
peace and inspire them to a new de-
parture in the establishment of justice
as the rule of international relations.
While we must not be overconfident
of our individual qualifications to point
out the detailed methods through which
the result may be accomplished, we
may still advocate measures which

HINTS ABOUT FIRE DANGER.

Matches should be kept in closed
tin boxes or in holders of non-inflam-
mable material Material in matches
lis poison and If matches are let lie
around little children often put them
in their mouths. Often they are car
ried away by mice and ignited in their
nests.
Safety matches are the only ones we
should have in the home; "parlor"
matches should not be used, as the
heads often fly some distance. Clothes
have been set on fire in this way and
eyes have been destroyed.
/ Some women strike matches on the
soles of their shoes; this fame is very
APT to set their skirts afire. Men often
give burning match twirl and toss
lit aside, sometimes into waste paper
baskets. Some time the match will not
be extinguished and then there will
be cry of "fire!"
Ignition occurs in strange ways;
sunlight striking on a box of matches
or the rays from a mirror or glass
paper weight will often be the means
|of starting them into a blaze.
One of the most dangerous materials
for clothing is outing flannel The nap
on this burns as though it was gun
powder. Little children should not be
allowed to make fires or carry lamps.
After they are ten years of age they
should be taught to turn gas on and
off and to see that the match used for
lighting anything is put out.
The small electric lights are excel
lent for hunting things In dark closets,
leaks in gas pipes and for finding ones
way in the dark Their cost is little
and they prevent serious accidents.
Public sentiment is strongly in favor
of safety first" Heavy death tolls of
previous years are not necessary if we
will all be careful. A child who is
taught care in handling matches and
gas, fires and lamps will not, when he
is grown, throw glowing cigarette
end into a paper-flled cellar way or
drop burning cigar on to an awning
or throw 1t into a crowd.

DIPLOMATIC SITUATION
BECOMES STRAINED

Great Britain has intimated that
British merchant ships have been ad-
vised to use neutral flags only in case
of emergency, and no general use of
such flags is anticipated. Germany
has issued another warning to neutrals
to the effect that in view of the al
legged declaration of all the British
ports as war ports and the use of neu-
trail flags by British ships it would be
dangerous for neutral merchantmen to
visit the prescribed waters after Feb
ruary 49,
Germany is advised in recent note,
that the United States would be con-
strained to hold the imperial govern
ment to strict accountability" for
such acts Of its naval authorities as
might result in the destruction of
American vessels or the loss of Amer
lean lives, and that If "such depIor-
able situation should arise" the Amer
lean government would take any steps
that might be necessary to safeguard
American lives and property"
To Great Britain the United States
pointed out "the measure of RESPONSE
bility'' which would seem to be i'm
posed on the British government, "for
the loss of American vessels and lives
in case of an attack by German naval
force" if England sanctioned the gen.
eral misuse of the American flag by
British vessels, and thereby cast doubt
upon the valid character of neutral
ensigns.
