Better get up on top, kid. II these

I climbed up on top and we rode

SITUATION CALLS FOR RELIEF

It is a peculiar position in which he state tuberculosis coalrnissIoc finds itself. SCTle time ac-r it was realized hat there was a, Srea- danger to the Lublic ! general from t.1nso suffering from such q disease as tuberculosis and legislation was secured which gave health officers the authority to cause their detention fer the safe " of the public. They were author i1ed to send them to sucI. a place as they might designate. but with no pro- vision q t-te state sanatcr;a for con lining aTrI no authoritg to restrain those who are unwilling to reS1ain there as well as the ineb2iare or inn moral conS1E1ptive who is refractory, and 1t being a violation oE the jaw for inc keeping Of tubercuIs~ patients at sIn1shouses, while the jail is no place for them. a situation is presented which leaves the menacing condition unchanged. Tn other words notaiug IS done with those who are dangerous to a community's health and are un- willing to comply with sanitary re- lu1rements, because there is no place where they can be confined
 It must be realized that those who do the greatest harm in the spread ing of communicable diseases are those vho care little or nothing for the health of others. Too often is tho at -itude encountered where it is felt lat it is no worse for others to have zn infectious or contagious disease. han it is for me" and it is where this nre1icamant prevails that the greatest good can be done through the enforce nent of the law.
 Thus when the commission calls at -eution 10 the lack of provision for carrying out the law and shows that existing legislation is NaIueless unless supplemented there appears to be good reason for the legislature coming to the relief Of the situation.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Sociuty

The valley of the Mouse River, ex- tending through Trance, Belgium and Holland, up and down whose course two. thousand years of intermittent warfare has been waged, forms the subject of a statement given out to- day by the National Geogra plic S0- ciety:
 Above every other valley. that Of the Mouse has become a. battlefield. At Licge, on the Mouse, the first great battle of the war broke forth. and the struggle blazed and scared all along the picturesque sple1dor of this wild, rugged banked stream, directly south- ward through Belgium into France. According to the day by day dispatch es, some of the most fierce efforts are still raging on it's banks. Liege. Ma mur Dinant, Givct, Sweden, Stenay, Verdun and St. Mihiel-each name recently became familiar to Americans all lie along it's course.
 Three countries share the Mouse. IL rises in France. flows northward through Belgiua, crosses the Dutch frontier, sweeps westward through Holland, and enpties into the North Sea. Its journey to the sea is one of 5SD miles, of which 46O are naViEable. It's source IS in the south of the French Department Haute Marne near the Monte Faucilles, whence it crosses tho Departments Bosges, Mouse Ardenues into Belgium near Sedan,
  trich, and thence westward to the sea. It bears several names along it's c0Urse-Mause, Macs, Maas, Nerwede 'The valley of the Mouse for ages has been a channel for the ,ebb and flow of armies. It might be" said to drain one vast. historic battlefield. Caesar pursued it's path into the un- known, barbaric North. The wild TeuConic tribes pressed down between it's bank toward the wealth of Rome. Christian Europe has been settling it's dieTences along the valley of the Mouse by force of arms down to the present day.
 Tn the Forest of Ardennes. the Mouse flows through a country rich in romances of CharlernanGe. Vine-lands and hop-gardens lie further along its banks. and then it washes great in dustriaI cities. gathering to itself the ashes, rust and acids of factory and furnace waste. Finally. it drifts through the hatlands of Holland, sup plying the numerous canals which laziIy divide the plains. Here and there, as between Namur and Liege, it cuts narrow passage between wood

NEW ENeLANn,s CANAL.

Somewhat oVersl1adowed has been the completion of the New England coastal canal at Cape Cod by the much greater engineering feat at the TSthmHs of Panama, but coastinG vessels have not been slow to appreciate the value of the short cut made available foy the Cape Cod waterway and to make use of it.
 During the half year that the canal has been in operation there have been over two thousand vessels which have taken advantage of it's facilities and considered that despite the tolls a sav- ing had been effected. This showing so soon after the completion only in dicates what the future of that route is going to be. It even makes Che old salts wonder that it was newer made possible before.
 Not only does it afford q. short cut worthy of consideration, but it eliTn- mates one of the worst sections of the coast that is to be encountered along the Atlantic seaboard. It is no long, CT necessary for vessels which can be accommodated by the canal to take a chance on getting by the graveyard of a long list of ships and mariners who had no alternative but to at tempt the hazards of that shoaI and narrow channeled route through Vine yard sound and around the cape.
 Not alone the recent one, but a1- most every storm makes apparent the great relief that the canal is to ship. ping. It is not only z saver of time but it is what IS far more valuable, a saver of life and property. Its worth will increase as it ages,

TIMELY WARNING.

Medical Examiner Rush W. Kimball, NJ. D, sounds a timely warning and offers some excellent advice when he calls attention to the use which is made of harmful drugs by those who have little or no knowledge of the ac- tons thereof and urges greater care for the avoidance of serious compii- cations. Many are the instances where fatal results follow as recently occurred here with shocking sudden ness through the taking of an over dose without the knowledge or realiza- ton of the effects that might be eX- pected. The continued use of what under certain circun stances is a harm less hypnotic had unconsciously pre- pared the way for a fatal dose.
 When it comes to the use Of drugs or poisons there cannot be too much care. They are not medicines which should be used indiscrin1i1ately with out instruction or advice from those who know the restrictions under which they should be used and understand the physical condition where especial care is needed.
 Where drugs are being used Of which nothing is known except that they are used for certain troubles, it is well to have the safety first idea well in mind. for the penalty of carelessness is severe and frequently calls for the needless sacrifice of life. Many are he cases where experimentation has resulted as in tine local case, but unfor- tunateiy a large number always fail to grasp the lessons which are taught. With drugs as well as other things it Is well to DC sure you are right before going ahead. The local lesson and warning are deserving of more than yeSsing attention

such point that there cannot be any question as to the importance Of such craft in connection with naval and military operations at the present time, and the value is going to increase instead of decrease. And it is not alone for war purposes that the afrships are going to play a prominent part in the future.
 It may be expected with a certain amount of surety that private capital will look well after it's own interests in the steady perfection of such ma chimes, but it is matter in which the government should be more than passively interested. IL has much at stake and has as much reason to be directly concerned in the study and development of flying machines as it has in the betterment of the naval vessels or it's coast defenses.

AIR GRAFT DEVELOPMENT,

The memorial which has been pre- ssnted to congress over the signatures Of Alexander Graham Fell and Charles r.

HE LEADING PARTY.

How greatly the soundness of the republican principles and the results which have been experienced from the putting into operation of democratic theories during the past two years have impressed the voters of the country is steadily being revealed. The great landslide last November told the story in Q, general way, but since that time there has been an opportunity to analyze the figures and as a result of the study Of the complete vote the official returns as compiled by the re- publican national committee show the republican party the leader on nation al issues, their total vote being 5.e15,- 270 to J.752.0So for the democrats, while the prosI-essiveS polled t474. 243,
 Made up Of the vote cast for sen ators or for congressman where no senator was elected it is representa- tive of the feeling on national affairs and it is a natural readjustment. Pushed into power through the de- f1ection of the progressives, the dem ocrats being in full control have pro ceeded to urge and push through leg islation which has been against the best interests of the country. A reali- zation Of this fact has brought sober second thought on the part of the voters with the result that the break in the republican ranks has been steadily narrowing until today it is practically healed. It has improved greatly since the last election even and is accompanied by the disappear ance Of the third party in all but g. few states and there the strength is chiefly on state matters.
 Such 9, showing based on the actual hsures siVes the republicans a margin of 162.000 last November, and puts to the woods the democratic claim of victory which was based upon estf- mates.

Because the high schools and the preparatory schools are under a great disadvantage by the present method an endeavor is being made by the uni
 Versity to secure the cooperation of the preparatory schools in all matters relating to the requirements for ad- mission to Yale. The adoption of the plan of comprehensive examinations is enc of the most important changes now under consideration and the dean is much in favor of it. It Is believed that all candidates for entrance should be Given tie privilege of choosing be- tween the four general examinations under the new plan and the 1o specific examinations under the old plan. The faculty IS endeayOTing to strengthen inc friendly relations existing between the university and the secondary schools. The teachers are in close touch with their students several years before they come to Yale, and they fnation to be given. However, the faculty. in the last few years have en- countered a problem which is beco1n- ing more difficult to solve each year. The problem presented is this: The preparatory schools in the West and the high schools everywhere are haV- ing great difficulty in preparing theil men for entrance to college due to the inr0adS that are being made on tho classical curricula by the demand for technical education and for bIISi- . enrolled in the high schools do not in- tend to enter college and the curri- culun of these schools is necessarily adapted to the requirements of the majority, rather than the few who wish to attend college.
