not be half slaves and half free
Allen Stevens, 1888 N. California Az.
REPLY TO MRS. EVERETT.-So
very often people that are living a
useful life, life above the average,
are unjustly criticized. It requires a
great deal of courage and love for
humanity for these high brow" re-
formers to become interested and
willing to assist their less fortunate
sisters in any way. There are so very
few people willing to help the fallen
women out of their rut that what
ever the motive of these high brow"
reformers, they are doing an unusual,
helpful and noble work.
What if we do have prostitutes
and redlight districts? Is that any
reason why these high brow" re-
formers should 'lay off,? Should
they not be all the more ambitious
to do everything they can to dimin-
ish the evil?
Let us be little kinder, little
more just in our criticism of the
"high brow" reformers. Let us not
expect them, but rather look upon
them as just ordinary human beings
with desires and instincts like our
selves. -"The Other Kind of Girl"
THE CHILD LABOR BILL.-Few
people realize that the so-called
Shurtleff child labor bill is one of the
most unjust bills introduced since the
defeat of the so-called Hull House
bill in 1911.

Yides that no one shall employe any

EARLIEST ECLIPSE ON RECORD
Chinese Astronomers Were Punished
for Not Predicting One That
Occurred 2127 B. e.

Messrs. Hirayama and Ogura have
published in the Proceedings of the
Tokyo acknowledgement Society
the results of their attempts to fix
the dates of some early eclipses res
corded in Chinese literature.
The earliest is mentioned in one ct
the books of the Shu Ching, where it
k'ang, the fourth emperor of the Hsia
dynasty, there occurred an eclipse of
the sun which had not been predicted
by the astronomers, who were alleged
to have been drunk and to have neg
lected their duties. Hence the GUS
tomary rites for delivering the sun,
which should have been arranged in
advance and superintended by the
astronomers, were in the emergency
performed by other officials without
proper preparation. The emperor &C.
cordingly ordered the army to punish
the astronomers.
A later document makes it possible
to fix the date of this event as Octo-
Der IL, 2127 B. C. (Julian calendar)-
the earliest recorded eclipse in the
world. Calculation shows that there
actually was 9 solar eclipse on that .
date, but probably not in China.
though the elements of the motions of
the sun and moon are NOT accurate
enough to indicate certainly the path
OF SO remote an eclipse. The au
thors are inclined to think that the
information fixing the date of the
eclipse is due to Chinese astronomers
Of a later age, who calculated that an
eclipse occurred on that date and
enormously supposed that it was Wis
ible in China.

porters are said to have about aban-
doned hope of securing Russian wheat
supplies through the Dardanelles, and
therefore will be obliged to look else
where for the needed requirements,
and the United States and Canada are
the only countries having available
surpluses of moment.
If the bottom drops out of the wheat
market during the next ninety days, it
will be mainly due to the unwise policy
OF northwest tern farmers in forcing
their wheat on the market in the short
est possible time. The delay in thresh-

ioned by storms and lack of machinery.
has been blessing in disguise to the
farmers and to the nation, for other

DON'T HURRY WHEAT SALE
Former u. S. Senator Paris Glib
son of Montana, says farmers
should move slowly SELL
present wheat crop.
Mr.. Farmer of the Flathead Reserva-

Mr.. Farmer of the Flathead Reserva-
ton:
The rushing of wheat to market at
this time by American farmers will
certainly give the bears complete con-
troll of the market and cannot fail to
greatly depress the price. On the
other hand, the gradual marketing of
our wheat crop will steady the price
and will prevent the slump so much de-
sired at this time by American and for-
eign spectators. Those who have
watched the wheat market for some
weeks past, it must be apparent that
it is unusually sensitive at this time.
Now let the surplus wheat of the
northwest be crowded into Chicago,
Duluth and Minneapolis and what can
we expect but great but temporary
decline in the price Of this all impor-
tant commodity.
Our farmers, in my opinion, should
sell enough wheat to pay off their ex-
penses for the current year, but after
that marketing should be carried on
gradually, until the next crop becomes
a certainty.
We need not fear that there will not
be demand for the surplus wheat of
America, for let US not forget that a
great war prevails in Europe and that
the same degree of waste in war ma
terial, including foodstuffs, exists on
the continent that prevailed in our
own country during the war of the
rebellion. 1t is hardly possible that
normal crops will be gathered from the
wheat fields of Europe during this gi-
gantic struggle, the shortage in France
alone the present year being estimated
at one hundred million bushels.
Richardson, Hill & Co., under date
of the 18th inst. in summing up the
wheat situation, says: European i'm

About Rowing Nerve
By GRANTLAND RICE

A screed of more than usual interest
comes in today from one who is appar-
emily a much keener student than the
average of the part nerve plays in sport.
Our correspondent takes as his text
n certain line from a story of the New
London race, which said, There was
the same Old fght-fght-fght in the
boat from New Haven"
Further down he continues: This is
a question OF values. And to a Pennsyl-
vania man who has seen his football
team over and over again win from Cor
nell otter being beaten in the first half
to a Cornell man who has seen his
crew win two-thirds OF all Poughkeepsie
races-to all such college men 1t must
be a source Of wonder where any one
college or university ever acquired a
reputation for any extra nerve. Yale
loses steadily and long in races with
Harvard. Yet race won by seven
lengths from a Harvard crew, evidently
overrated, calls for the blare of a re-
turn of the old Yale spirit"
