lntarplanstarx Gases.

According to the Scientific American.
some of the striking changes that take
place In certain comets In their pas
sage through space may be explained
by their encountering stray masses Of
gas. II it is true that such masses Of
gas exist. comets would be more than
likely to encounter them. for the incli-
nations and the extents Of their orbits
make them especially good explorers.
The planets move In a narrow zone
very near the plane of the ecliptic.
whereas the inclination Of the comet
airy orbits Is sometimes considerable:
for the periodic comers it varies from 8
to 1852 degrees. Consequently comets
attain regions Of the solar system that
no other bodies penetrate. These gas
eous masses. If indeed they exist. are
Of varying chemical composition and
may be considered as fragments of the
initial nebula that escaped the combus
ton from which the members Of the
solar system arose.

The lines are drawing in on the whis
key business on all sides. Up to 1914
there were nine Prohibition states in the
Union. From September until the close
of 1914 five additional states. by popular
vote, declared in favor of banishing the
liquor traffic. Since January I, 1915, four
states have gone dry by Legislative enact
ment and four others have submitted the
question to be voted on at the next gen
eral election. So, up to date, there are
eighteen states that have already declared
for Observation-Disclosures and four others
that will unquestionably take that action
when the people vote on the question.
In addition to the above. vigorous
conflict in which the liquor question il
involved is under way in the legislature.

The New Cooperative Labor plan.

In recent address in Chicago, an Of
fetal of the United States Department Of
Labor in explaining the plan BY which
that department in cooperating with the
Department of Agriculture and the Post
Office Department hopes to minimize I'M
employment and at the same time re,
lieve the labor situation in rural districts,
estimated that not rs per cent of the
men absolutely necessary 10 the wheat
belt at harvest time could find employ
ment there during the rest of the year.
Moreover, it was difficult for the farmers
to calculate the EJECT number of men
that would be required to get in their
crops. consequence great armyihad
TO be modified at very short notice, util-
ICED for brief time and then disbanded.
This was the difficult problem which had
to be solved before amy plan could be
truly effective.
The question of transportation also
complicates the situation. Harvest hands
are not usually. rich in Iready cash and
what they have they are not likely to
risk 10 long journeys in search Of oppor-
tunities that may not exist.
The first step. therefore, is to foresee
where and when and how much labor
will be wanted. In this the crop cores
pondents of the department can be Of
great service. They are in better po-
sition than the average farmer to esti-
mate the prospects in their several local
tiles and the probable need for labor.
The farmer himself, however. is being
asked to do his part. Under the plan now
in force, any employer in need of men

nearest post Office which is forwarded to
the local headquarters of the Department
of Labor. Among other things the pros
pective employer is asked to state on this
card whether or not he will advance

he expects to be repaid. Similar cards
are provided for men in search of en-
ployers. In this way applications for
men and applications for jobs are match.

the following:

Lincoln watched the old mans grief
for a minute and then exclaimed:

Then he wrote:

thought it was pardon. You may

see you are not very well acquainted
with me. If your son never dies till
orders come from me to shoot him he
will live to be great deal older than
Methuselah."

a senator. called on President Lincoln.
The woman was the wife of one Of
Mosby's men. Her husband had been
captured. tried and condemned to be
shot. She came to ask for the pardon
Of her husband. Lincoln heard her
story and then asked what kind Of a
husband her husband was.
SIS he Incorporate: does he abuse the
children and beat you" asked the pres
ident.
.No. no." said the wife. HE Is a
good man. a good husband; he loves me
and he loves the children, and we can
not liye without him. The only trou-
BILE - that he is fool about politics.
l I'VE in the north and was born there,
and If get him home he will do no
more fighting for the SOUTH"
"Well," said Lincoln, after examining
the papers, II will pardon him and
turn him over to you for safekeeping."
The woman, overcome with joy, be-
gan to sob as though her heart would
break
my dear woman" said Lincoln, "if
I had known how badly 1t was going
to make you feel never would have
pardoned him."
"You do not understand me-" she
cried between sobs.
Eyes, yes, do" answered Lincoln.
"And II you do not 60 away at once

CL0TURE A BAD START
ON DEFENSE PROGRAM
Senator Sterling Of South Dakota
Looks Askance on Administra-
ton Proposals.

| Senator Sterling of South Dakota is
another Of the republicans in the Sem
ate who looks askance upon the admin
istration's preparedness program held
out in one hand, while the majority
party in the Senate presents cloture
with the other. Senator Sterling is not
exuberantly enthusiastic over a big
military expenditure at best, but is
doubly dubious of such a legislative
policy presented for consideration with
the minority proposed to be fettered by
cloture.
'The sentiment in South Dakota :.
said Senator Sterling yesterday, "wouid
approve reasonable military prepared
ness, without going to the length which
II Is generally understood the admin
lstration contemplates. The people in
that state, l believe, are agreed that
there should be material Increase in
the naval establishment and the army.
but they do not fancy such figures as
$500. 100000 or thereabouts I want to
scan the estimates very closely before
indorse appropriations.
And most assuredly I am not in IA
vor of cloture in the Senate The
President asks non-partisan considera-
ton of preparedness, and it should be
SO, but the enforcement of cloture is
not good beginning for non-partisan
treatment Of any great subject"
Senator Sterling, speaking of political
conditions in his state. expressed the
opinion that South Dakota will go re-
publican next year on the tariff ques-
tion and republican policies generally,
and that the republicans will elect state
officers and legislature.
There Is no crystallization of senti-
ment, he thought. for any presidential
candidate. but the republicans will de-
mand a candidate Of progressive ten
dencies.
