And heat itself is by no means
the only disadvantage which a
high temperature brings to the
dwelling.
High temperature means a
stuffy atmosphere.
In establishing a temperature
not to be exceeded indoors the
comfortable point should not he
taken as the standard.
The comfortable point varies
with the individual and has rela-
ton to the accustomed temper
ature - moderate, too high. or
too low. A person habitually liv-
ing in a temperature of 80 de-

habituated to 20, he scarcely

As Gibson Gardner well says, one of the greatest
Of cases is now in the hands Of the u. s. supreme
court the Oregon minimum wage case. Capital
declares that state shall not make laws fixing
minimum wage for women, because such legislation
interferes with the liberty of woman to sell her
labor for what she pleases, under the 14th amend
1nent Of the federal constitution which prohibits
state to make laws (which shall abridge the prvi-
leges or immunities of citizens.

Because individual constitutional rights or "privi-

benefit, advantage favor; right immunity notl
enjoyed by others or by ALL" But the constitution
was bred, born and brought up the idea that all
men equal-no special class enjoyment of rights
or immunities
Very soon there had to be legal definition of the
meaning of constitutional privileges, or rights,
and it was decided that all such rights "privi-
leges" were void when they interfered with the
rights of others. Evidently privilege that in

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY
AT THE FRONT. Nov. 2s.-(By
mail to New York. IL have the
distinct impression that the
French, English and German
armies will remain pretty much
where they are until we'll into
next spring. and that but for oc-
casional and sometimes possibly
bloody encounters in this, the
Western theater of the war, most
of the action will come in the re-
gion of the Russian frontier, un-
til that time.
From what I have seen of the
allies preparation back of the
actual fighting line, for the Ger
mans to make much Roadway
south, seems to be impossible.
Also, by reading between the
lines, | gather that the allies are
quite satisfied with the situation
as 1t Is. Officers are firmly con-
vinced that Germany is daily
growing weaker while their own
side is growing stronger every
day. They say they can afford to
play waiting game and let Ger
many do the costly attacking. Ger

a telling blow at the earliest pos.

the strategists here is the ex,

miles long. They claim this places
the Germans at a capital disad-
vantage. DESTROYS of forcing h
decisive action the kaiser's forces
apparently cannot do so because
stretched out over such extended
territory the necessary concentra
tion is out of the question. AT
the same time to shorten the bat
tie line would expose the flanks to
the allies offensive.

MUSIC AND LANGUAGE WORDS
WeII-known Musician Explains the
Divisions Known as Melody
and Harmony.

AS you know, the single notes are
the letters of the music language.
Groups Of notes are the words of the
music language. In a spoken language,
the letters are always sounded one
after the other. In the music language
they are sometimes sounded one after
the other and sometimes simultan-
eously.
This fact explains two important d.
visions of music, namely, melody and
harmony. In a general way. melody
consists of single tones heard one after
the other; combinations of tones heard
simultaneously are called harmony. A
word of the music language may con-
sist of several tones in succession like
a word Of the spoken language, which
consists of several letters in success
sion.
On the other hand, a word of the
music language may consist of several
tones heard simultaneously, which is
impossible in language. Some of the
most important words of the music
language are those which are used
in both these ways, and it is one of the
great charms of music that it's words
can be heard in these two ways.-Dr.

rainfall for 1914 Ala inches,
showing a deficiency for the
year of 7.65 inches. Rain fell
on 8 days of the month, and the
amount of sunshine was far from

seven clear days during the
month. The prevailing wind

This is also the lowest point

that a complete record can be

FINALLY KNEW HIS VISITOR
Meeting Of President Theirs and
French Soldier a Sample Of
Country's Democracy.

Monsieur Theirs, the first president
of the third French republic, is the
subject of the following amusing
anecdOte:
The president went to visit Mar
settles. his native city, and one day,
while wandering through the streets,
he saw a sentinel in front Of the Mon
taux barracks who had set his gun
aside and, squatting in his sentry box,
was enjoying a huge piece Of bread
and cheese. The president approached
the man and said:
Eth. bien, my friend, is the regi-
mental food good enough"
why dost thou ask" rejoined the
soldier, employing the familiar second
person singular.
Because it interests me considera-
bly," replied the president.
The soldier thought his questioner
was probably some member of the
regiment, but since he was wearing
civilian clothes it was no part of the
sentry's duty to salute him. To each
question as to whether he was a cor
poral, sergeant, lieutenant or captain,
the president replied that he was
greater than that. When the sentry,
with his mouth full Of cheese, said:
well. then you must be the gen.
eral." The president replied, "The
generals obey me-"
you want to make me believe you
are the minister Of war;" exclaimed
the astonished soldier.
Il am more than minister Of war"
replied the president, blandly.
Then you can't be anyone but Pa
pa Theirs. Here, take the bread and
cheese, while l present arms to you!"
