Mus1 SOCIETIES DROP TIE HYpHEN7

One Of the drastic suggestions for dealing with
the 'hyphen problem" from William Lustgarten

tonal life and proposes eliminate by public ostra-
cism directed against alien organizations
"The first step" he says must from public of
ficals and political leaders Public officials as Off
Gals from the president down should ignore all
tions given by hyphenaed societies. All politicians in
the past have encouraged such organizations. Now
elizng that they unpatriotic and might occasion
prove reasonable, they should put the ban upon them
The original disapproval must come from official
If the mayors Of cities office holders politi
cal workers and all good Americans likewise refused

He even far to advocate that corporate

Such a policy might work injustice in many cases, and
there's room for question whether should adopted;
the present tendency of public sentiment plainly
in that direction.

FASTING IN A CAVE

One Of the most diverthg contrasts in civilized life
found in the case Of the New York man who orsoo the
sx-millioned metropolis fast for forty days in cave
in Of the city parks. He seemed to enjoy both his
cave and his hunger and annoyed when the po
lice dragged him out Of his lair and sent him back to
his steamheated fiat
Plenty Of have tasted for forty days and done il
in and for that matter of the fast
ers in oden times did it for righteousness sake Now
adays the purpose usually the physical
alment The only visions the subject sees are visions
Of beesteaks and mine pies and his prayers mostly
directed to meddling friends who try tempt him from
the straight path of starvation.
Few Of these diet cranks carry their brave
plan in caves particularly in cold weather It's well
known that II a man is determined fast he stick
it out longer at home in warm bed The cold makes
man hungry; and If he exercises to warm up the ex-
ercise makes him hungry. In fact everything works
gether to keep a man from enjoying good fast
Which is probably it should be. Maybe nature
knows few things after ALL And nearly all the doc
agree with nature in prescribing food for hungry
man.
Undoubtedly some causes of Indigestion have been
cured by fasting for prolonged period But that doesn't
prove much except the vitality of dys-
pepucs. little rational attention diet will do
good than all the starvation caves in the world

COLE AND AGRICULTURE

An interesting governmental question is raised by the
National Go Associations request that the federal de
parment of agriculture study and report the kind
OF grasses most suitable for golf courses.
This probably the first intimation the agricultural
department has had that its activities have anything in
common with golf The fact that this game, though
excellent sport for those who like It and af
it, is in direct conflict the fundamental
purposes of agriculture Instead of making two cab.
bages grow where one grew before golf makes grass
grow where cabbages grew, and doesn't uu-

ANOTHER WAR ORDER.
Hickok Lumber Co. of Burlington to
Manufacture Boxes.

Burlington, May 29.Frederck T.
Burgess returned yesterday from New
York City, where he has been for up.
wards of two months on business.
Mr.. Burgess succeeded in securing for
the Hickok laundering Co. another large
order from the Canadian Car & Foundry
company to manufacture wooden boxes
for shrapnel and howitzer shells for the
imperial Russian government. This
brings the total number of boxes to be
made by the Hickok company to 257,-
600
The Champlain shops have been leased,
as stated in the Daily News some time
ago. and additional machinery ordered
to facilitate the manufacture of this big
order.
Mr. Burgess said to-day that the con-
Germ was to employ fully 100 extra work
men, making force in the two plants,
about 225.
Special machinery is now being in
stalled AS rapidly as possible. The con-
tract will be completed in seven months
from July /.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
order may be gained when it is stated
that 40 million screws will be required
in fastening together the boxes, which
because of the nature of their contents
have to be strongly made.
