OF course it is disappointing to us
to traffic until Jan. 1. But there is no
reason to be pessimistic over the out
look. 1t stands TO reason, that in an
undertaking of such tremendous mag
nitude vexing problems will arise for
some time to come. We are partic-
ularly fortunate that in the tests TO
which the canal has been put thus far,
the only difficulty which has been m ct
with has been earth slides Eventual
~. the quantity Of earth which will
move by force Of gravity must ex-
haust itself IN the meantime it is
probably easier to scoop it out of the
ditch after it slides in of its own mo-
mentum than to dig and carry IL away
from it's original location. And it is
far better that these slides should
occur now. while the use OF the canal
is at minimum. than at some later
date when the tide Of traffic might be
in full flow. and possibly at a time
when Uncle Sam would wish TO move
his battle fleets from coast to coast
awfully bad.
1t is very likely that the first OF
January will see the canal finally
completed and free from any future
probability OF slides that will serious
| " affect it's usefulness. incidentally
we might add that we will be mighty
glad TO see Col. Goethals, the master
Z builder, on the job again.

What the Papers Say
MAKING THE BEST OF 1T
New York Wcrid.(

We can hardly credit the report
from washington that anybody in this
country or in the Latin republics that
are interested in the matter IS con-
sidering very seriously the personality
OF Gen. Carranza. II will be generally
admitted that he is irritable. bumpt-
Gus. arrogant and defiant. but II II
shall appear that he Is the choice
OF a majority OF the Mexicans and
that he is the only man in a position
10 establish a government, why should
the neighbors complain OF his man

Since We are not imposing a ruler
upon Mexico. the best that we can
do Is TO give qualified support to the
chieftain VINO can prove that he is the
choice OF the most OF the people who

Secure in the conviction that the
administration is acting solely for the
best. or at least what it considers the
best in the recognition of Carranza,
the public will be more or less dis
posed TO refrain from criticism and
let the proposition work itself out.
Certainly the Pan-American conven-
ton was, at the best, confronted with
the necessity Of choosing between the
.esser Of two evils If, by the recog-
milton OF Carranza. peace for unhappy,
blood-soaked Mexico may be hasten
ed by even a day the whole of Amer
lea will cheerfully acquiesce in his Sc
lection.
But l. is q source of regret that some
real man and leader was not in the
saddle at the time a decision was
forced upon the United states. Recog-
milton may result in the rallying OF
Sufficient support in Mexico itself to
enable Carranza to restore a sem
blance of government which will lead
to the ultimate settlement Of Mexico's
troubles. Heaven knows the masses
down there are ready to grasp at any
straw
But it will be necessary for this
country to watch Carranza's every
move and put on the brakes from
time to time, else he Will surely rush
straight on to destruction. One can't
make sil1en purse out of sows ear,
nor q great ruler out of a narrow
minded obstinate bigot

 Mrs. Stefferson smiled. blushed and nodded.
 The visitor gasped. But not-not MT. Crawley? Oh, Bessie. hope you are not going to do anything so foolish as that"
 Mrs. Stefferson colored again, but this time with indignation. T think l am the best judge of whether 1t Is foolish or not" she said. "I don't con- slider that 1t will be foolish at all. expect to be perfectly happy and if I'm happy don't think 1t is anybody else's business"

CRASHING AT THE SHADOW

No man-especially if he is mar ried-would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman long for the ballet?
 When all is said and dcne, is not the selection of the butcher more i'm portant to the home than the election of mayor; Is not the employment of the dairyman far more important event in the life of the children than the appointment of postmaster; is not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the i'm portant things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow?
 Be it said to the credit of woman hood that 1t Is not, as rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast the ballot; 1t is not the mother who teaches her children to say Now lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; it is not the daughter who hopes to reign as queen over a happy home that longs for the uniform of the suffragette. It is, as rule, the woman who despises her home, neglects her children and scorns motherhood that leads parades and smashes windows.

Matches were then placed in the cages, but no food, and the rats were left in a quiet spot in cellar. In every case the ani- mals starved to death or ate their com panions. Not match head or splint was gnawed. The matches were we'll seasoned and of different varieties from the strike-on-the- box to the double-tip and the common parlor match. A second series of tests was conducted in a cage measuring more were the same.
 In all cases the rats were without food from two to three days, then the matches were introduced and the rats died from starvation within one to five days after. Like experiments were conducted with mice and the same re- suits obtained. the mice being hungry from two to three days, then the matches were introduced and death followed in one to five days. In the larger cages the rats were fed for periods varying from twenty to forty four days in order to permit the ami malls to become accustomed to their surroundings and act normally. A greater variety of matches was used in this test. The rats were imprisoned together in this case and many were gnawed and eaten by their compan- ions.
