THE WORLD ALMANAC.

If there is anything new under the
sun, the chances are that it's in The
World Almanac. This is a sweeping
statement. For its justification one may
point with much confidence to the files
of this most regular of ANNALS. For
particular and current instances refer
ence is recommended to the issue for
1918, now Just at hand.
As one reads this book, the time
seems very lar removed, indeed when
an almanac was merely booklet Of a
calendar pages, with wise remarks about
the sun, the moon, a few planets, the
tides and the best time for planting
various kinds of seeds. Here set forth,
besides election and census returns,
sporting records, industrial and financial
reports, industrial and financial. reports,
New York city gazetteer, and the
countless formal informatory depart
ments to which the years have accus-
toned readers of The World Almanac,
are q review of the war in Europe, notes
on the wars of the world; the politi-
cal state platforms of 1914; details OF
the special OF emergency tax; analysis
of the prison populations; factory stat
/ lstIcs; WOfkmen compensation NV
/ the Federal Reserve Act; the Federal
Trade Commission; statistics of foreign
born population in the United States;

FRENCH Wines

PARIS, France. A method of
aging raw wines and spirits by cleo
tffcity has been perfected by Profes-
sor Charles Henry of the University
CT Paris (the Sorbonne), and it is al
ready being successfully used in some
of the Burgundy wine districts.
The process is said to impart to
liquors the same properties which
they acquire by being kept for num-
her of years Id cellar The spirit or
vine is placed in a special receptacle
fitted with two tubes called burgers
and the tubes are charged with high
tension electricity at from $4,000 to
10000 volts. The result is that all
the bacteria, ferments and Impurities
collect In the tubes and are removed
and all further fermentation is stop
ped. The process is very rapid, and
the cost is less than two cents per
100 gallons. Similar experiments are
now being made with beer and essen
tial oils.

ZURICH, Switzerland. While Aus
trian trade and industry generally are
suffering great depression from the
war, the little mountainous crown

Switzerland is in most prosperous
condition.
In vorarlberg are scores Of small
embroidery factories now crowded
with orders from Swiss agents. who
can get the work done thirty per cent
cheaper there than in their own coun-
try, because the Austrian crown, usu-
ally roughly equivalent to a franc in
value. is now worth only seventy CEN
times in Swiss money. And mean
while thousands os Swiss workers are
out of employment.
Valenciennes, the center Of the
French embroidery industry, is occu-
pied by the Germans, and Plauen in
Saxony, the chief center of Germany's
embroidery trade can no longer ex
port any wares. Consequently Swift
erland's embroidery exports are ris
ing by leaps and bounds, in spite OF
the general depression everywhere re-
sulting from the war. Last year the
total exports of embroideries amount
ed to some twenty-four million dol
lars, this year they will probably

ed in the United States Army and are
no longer upon its active list, and those
who, by training acquired in colleges
and schools or In other ways, have be-
come equipped with sufficient military
Information and experience to make
them available, and in the ways above
more particularly described. 1t is the
purpose TO have the membership OF
this force assembled at convenient
places and have there such portions
of the Regular Army TO assist in their
training as are desirable. and TO obtain
all the benefit which can be obtained
from intensive training over such pc
riod Of time as is possible. For the
purposes OF the necessary figuring
upon costs, ETC., as well as for mill.
tary reasons, the period proposed is
two months. II is recognized, how
ever, that with respect to this period
Of training and other features of the
plan a final wise determination can
only be reached after the fullest in.
terchange Of views between those who
collectively represent the wisdom, ex-
these matters properly.
with respect to pay, IL is proposed
that the officers and men shall receive
pay on the same basis as the Regular
Army for the time actually occupied.
National Guard Plans.
with respect to the National Guard,
it is proposed not only to continue the
existing assistance rendered by the
Federal Government, but TO increase
it. In the references previously made
to the National Guard the relationship
Of that body to the military system Of
the country was stated. With the ex-
listing cooperation OF the Federal Gov.
eminent and the earnest efforts of the
membership of the guard great prog.
ress has been made In the last de.
cade and, in the judgment of all those
concerned, sill greater progress is not
only possible but assured There is
the fullest recognition and apprecia-
ton of the untiring devotion and pat
riotic spirit Of those who have unceas-
ingly wrought for the Improvement OF
this body, This body has, as above
stated, q clearly defined and impor-
tant part in the military system of the
country, and 1t is proposed in the plan
advocated to amplify the federal as
sistance in every way that it can be
done constitutionally, 30 as to aid this
force and make 1t efficient for the pur-
poses set forth In the Constitution, and
for the further purpose for which 1t Is
available In the event of war II it vol
unteers for Federal service. The plan
offers to the membership Of the Ma
tional Guard every alternative which a
full recognition of their position sug-
gests. With respect to the National
Guard system under the Constitution
there is to be not only continued but
increased Federal cooperation and as
sistance. With respect to the person
mel Of the guard opportunity is offer
