Of the military service, and II you can

You must weigh at least iSO PounaS, "A

normally to size. Men who are too tall
are as ineligible as men below feet

Sound teeth are particularly necessary
TO pass the physical examination. There
must be at least 20 sound teeth, with no
less than four molars and four incisors re-
spectively opposed. Bridged teeth and

The Fight on Conservation.
From the Chicago Tribune,


While congress rocks with the debate
over the submarine, a number of gentlo-
men in both houses are not distracted
from their attention to the problem of
to be a pity 30 much power Is running to
waste, especially as q very capable lot of
men are ready and anxious to utilize II
with as little delay as need be. Never
theless we trust the American public and
enough of its representatives to count, will
see to 1t that In this year Of grace 1915 we
do not turn our backs on the lessons two
tional resources have offered US for guild
ance.
Conservation Is at stake at this moment
two measures. the Shields bill and the
Ferris bill
The Shields bill Is attacked by the con-
serTat H&9aS association on the grounds that
all power in navigable streams and utilize
1t without compensation to the govern
ment. There is a provision which purports
to give the public the right to take back
the properties at the end Of a term Of 90
years, but this reservation Is made worth
less because 1t is to be exercised only
on condition that the power companies
be paid the value Of the unearned incre-
ment.
Presidents Roosevelt and Taft vetoed
less obnoxious measures. But they were
both strong conservationists and national
lists.
The Ferris bill providing for water
power development in the forest reserves
and public lands was drawn by or on the
initiative Of Secretary Lane and had the
support OF conservatlonists when 1t was
passed In the House. But when 1t got in
to the Senate II suffered q sea change, by
which a water power corporation may
take over as many sites as Il pleases, so
conservationists are now compelled to OPP
pose the bill.
The administration gives little sign of
opposition to this drift against conserya-
ton and leading democrats are among the
leaders of the reactlonary movement.
Thanks to Representative John c. McKen-
zie, the Illinois man on the military af-
fairs committee, the Muscle Shoals
scheme, which had bobbed up in the army
bill under the guise Of a munitions plant;
was thrown out of that measure. But as
tho Tribune has said repeatedly the
scramble for pork" and the drive against
conservation are dangerous developments
Of the present congress, which will not be
checked unless the press and public rouse
themselves to action.
1t Is disgraceful that at a time when all
Intelligent progressive nations are organ
izing their resources for national benefit
and discarding the waste and injustice Of
individualist exploitation, the United
States, which deems itself leader Of the
to its own costly experience, and return
to the folly of the past.
Democracy Is fatally inefficient II Il will
not conserve the basic resources OF q
country for the common good, defend IT.
self from private monopoly or private ex-
ploitation and contrive to respect individ-
ual initiative while preventing it's abuse.
This is the cause Of conservation and Il
Is as vital to us as national military and
naval defense.
Indeed, conservation is the foundation
OF success In war as in peace.

Jess went to her room upon reaching
the house. The unrest of her mind was
augmented by the sullen humor of the
night. Hot and still 1t lay over the
parched earth, the skies cloudless yet
yelling the stars in a nebulous haze,
the far-ofr horizon pulsing with con-
tinual heat lightning, pale, and ominous
Of unbroken drought.
The girl wheeled her light bed be-
side the window and, propping her
self up with pillows, lay wide awake,
her eyes on the vague outlines Of the
silent plains.
She watched the lightning incessant-
that the fitful breeze coming through
the window was more oppressive than
the absence of II. The contact Of her
pillows became uncomfortable.
Jess flung them aside, leaning her
lightly clad body against the frame
work of the bed. She wondered what

was to be avoided, and water was not
to be had unless II came down the bed
OF the Raccoon river. 1t took no very
great shrewdness to see that.
1t took rather sharp eyes, however,
to see any object on the plains just
then; though, as Jess dropped lower on
her elbows, she thought she saw some
moving blur against the feverish flick
ering Of the lightning. She kept very
still, as though Stiffness gave acuter
vision, and waited.
The lightning lifted, quivered, and
ceased. Upon Its glow the dark shad-
ow OF mans body fell and was lost

more distant, and appeared no more.
But Jess had seen enough to recog-

take him past the Skunk Hollow with

come so hateful to the girl.

What a Fine Thing For Everybody.
From the New York World

The plan suggested by Mr.. schermer-
horn Of the United Fruit Company for
the creation of a great American mer-
chant marine has its good points for some
people. He does not mince matters in the
least. First, the government Is to pay to
shipowners the difference between the
cost Of building at home and abroad
When the vessels have been obtained in
this free and easy fashion. the government
is to pay to their owners the difference
between the cost Of operating under the
American flag and the highest cost of OPP
Grating similar ships under a foreign flag
which Is easier still.
To make the arrangement as agreeable
as possible all around, Mr.. Schermerhorn
denies that he is in favor Of subsidies. and
that helps a good deal. A subsidy Is a
bonus or a gift, usually fixed at a stated
amount. These scheme now before US
contemplates sure thing for the ship
owners, no matter how much they pay
out or how little they take in. If every
body in business could be benevolently
cared for on the principle thus advanced
there never would be any losses or bank
ruptcies In this glorious country--except in
the neighborhood of the United States
treasury
