DOC STEVENS DISCOVERY.

Assyrian imprint Noah was ordered not
TO partake OF the fruit Of the cassia
tree and broke over. For this he was
condemned to an early death. having
several hundred years Topped off his
expectation as figured by the actuaries
Of his time. Dr.. Stevens lays it all
upon Noah and says Eve never.
The suspicion will enter the male
mind that DR.. Stevens has been too
close to an equal suffrage fund. About
the only thing man has not had shifted

THE G. A. r. AND THE S. or v.

The proposition to make the order of
the Sons of Veterans residuary lega-
tee of the C. A. r. is not meeting pop
ular approval.

opinion on the matter.

A SERIOUS SITUATION.

The Mexican situation grows in ser
iousness Clashes between American
troops and Mexicans occur with alarm
ing frequency, and the situation al
Vera Cruz has become sufficiently
grave to induce the president to send
warships to that port in protection of
Americans and American interests.
The situation appears to be the most
serious of the many crises thru which
the Mexican inbroglio has passed. Mex
ico is practically in a state of anarchy.

Submarine For Ireland.

John p. Holland, the inventor OF the
modern submarine. was an ardent ad-
vocate of freedom for Ireland, says a
writer in the July Worlds Work. With
this end in view he allied himself with
the Fenian movement in America and
designed for them type OF vessel
which he hoped to destroy England's
fleet. The Fenians financed the scheme
and Holland designed a boat which for
several months entertained the people
on the waters around New York. The
Fenians had done everything they
could to keep the thing a secret, though
rumors OF the usual British spies"
we're numerous. Occasionally an ex-
cursion boat or a tug would be amazed
to see a peculiar contrivance suddenly
stick it's head out Of the waters: there
were stories that it was a sea serpent.
or a whale, or a derelict. When the
coming tower opened. however, and
Hollands good -natured Irish face sud
denly peered out on the outside world,
the mystery was explained The In
ventor had no difficulty in operating
in all the waters about New York: his

HOW TO TAKE VACATIONS.

lctGdI fNdplCS
The Christian Science Monitor from
a study Of vaca ton habits has come
10 the conclusion that Americans are
drifting more and more into the Eng
lish habit of taking weekend vaca-
tons, and lots of them. rather than
longer vacations. That is now conced-
ed to be the more sensible way. When
one leaves his business or. his work
for weeks and months at a time ne is
apt to lose track and control of it The
week END vacations enable him TO keep
in touch with his business. Nor are
the long do-nothing periods TO be COM
mended on other grounds. For most
people, We have an idea, they mean
listless inaction. Lying around re-
sorts is a disiuteg rating habit, physi-
cal as we'll as moral. Such places
''have their own temptations and they
breed their own diseases. Most people
spend them being uncomfortable, as
compared with home comforts. They
sleep IN little rooms and they can not
go out OF them without being dressed
up, for they are IN the constant gaze
of a gaping crowd. one can not visit
such places without wondering why
people want to give up the comforts OF
their own homes for such an exchange
But there are many who like TO CAD
about to gossip in such centers. And
let everyone follow ms own iiic!.:::ics-

Check for speeders.

Spsedoneters, as a rule, only tell the
motorist when he is exceeding the
speed limit: they do not prevent him
from doing so. On commercial motor
vehicles, the speed question is often OF
greater importance than that Of over
loading, and one OF the large speedo-
meter manufacturers has hit upon the
happy idea of combining the indicator
of speed with an Arrangement that will
prevent the driver from going faster
than the device has been set for. The
device consists of a Yale lock, which
can be set at any desired speed from
zero to sixty miles an hour. according
to the Indianapolis News. When the
indicated speed is reached by the
speedometer hand, an electric contact
is established which energies a mag
net contained in a small box. thru
which the rod from the carburetor

passes. This rod Is split within the
case and one end passes freely In a
sleeve fitting tightly over the other end
of the rod Normally the connection
between the two is made by a pin that
passes through an opening in the sleeve
and free end Of the rod. The closing OF
the electric contact when the speed
limit is reached lifts this pin out of en-
gagernent and breaks the connection
between the rod and the sleeve. The
throttle thereupon closes slowly OF Its
own weight. and no amount Of manip-
ulation Of hand or foot control will be
communicated to the carbureeer. When
the car has fallen below the speed
limit, however, the speedometer con-
tact is released, the magnet permits the
pin to fall back into its place and the
throttle rod is continuous once more.

THE JEWS OPINION.
lCedar Ranids Gazette. ]

A young Jew who came to America
from Poland three years ago happened
to be in The Gazette office when the
news of Warsaws impending fall first
came.
What does this mean to your peo-
ple?' he was asked.
1T means better things" was his
prompt reply MY people will be hap
pier under the Germans than they
have ever been under the car. Life
will be more certain. They will be
in less danger and have less to fear
This young chap spoke from the
past. And. with history as the basis
Of his opinion, he doubtless was cor
rect. But he did not stop to look into
the future, as the world Is doing, now
that the Russians have lost Warsaw.
The movement Of the German en-
pire to the eastward means more than
the extending Of the n,ilitarist's power.
Debit Germany with every thing she
has won or lost by reason OF her stu !.
penduous physical power. and you
still have to admit that she leads the
rest of the world in many construc-
tive lines. Her universities and hos
pitais constitute q mecca toward which
flock scientists from every land. Her
laboratories are second TO none. In
scientific research. too. she is among
the leaders. in fact, in culture IL not
in kultur. she stands pre-eminent.
All these things mean much to the
territories into which Germany spreads
her domain Russia will feel their eff
feet perhaps as no other nation has
felt it. She will be compelled to ac-
cept destiny She will have to meet
German idea and German principle.
and in order to meet them she will
lily. The result is bound to be bene-
ficial to Russia as well as to Poland.
German intellect will enlghten the
Russian hordes, whether it be directly
or indirectly. Otherwise German kul-
tur will over run those same hordes.
One thing or the other will be inevi-
table. if Germany holds Poland, and
the Russians viii take care to see that
it is the first They would rather
profit by German civilization than lose
to the crushing machinery of the Ger
man militarist.
The fall OF Warsaw affects not only
Poland. Russia Germany and the al
lied nations. It affects the world.
Russia has long, awaited the coming
of an International situation which
would absolutely compel her to take
cognizance of the worlds advance in
things which she has largely ignored
That time. has come. Russia will
know il soon if not now.

The automobile registrations in Iowa
having already passed $4,000, it Is OF
interest to note the rapid increase In
the total output OF automobiles IN the
country as whole. Twelve years ago
the total output of the United States
was only 1000 motor cars year, while
last Year the number had passed the
$50, 900 mark. Twelve years ago (the
first of it's existence) one OF the now
leading automobile factories of the
country turned out 1.T0S cars. Last
year its output was 250,349. Four years
ago the number of machines owned in
Iowa according to figures furnished by
the secretary of state, was 2S,11S. Last
year the number had increased to 103,-
ST., while by the time 1915 has drawn
to a close the number will be consider
ably in excess of 10000.
