Few Desert From
 U. S. Marine Corps.

Washington, D. C., March I4-An almost negligible percentage of men have deserted from the United States Marine Corps during the past three m onths. and all records in this re- spect have been broken. according to a statement just issued from the headquarters of the Corps in this city.
 Only high grade men take up the Marine Corps service, the officers state by way of explanation, and the Marine who looks lightly upon his oath of obligation these days is a rar- ity. Desertion has not been a Marine Corps problem for several years, and during the last year has dropped into insignificance.

The VILLAGE STREET.

A prominent resident and official
cation would be given space on this
page had il not been written on both
sides Of the paper, writes urging the
oiling of village streets.
He goes on to say that the dust
which is deep on such streets is a
menace to health. destructive to the
merchants stock OF goods, carrier Of
diseases such as infantile paralysis
and general spreader Of infections. He
wants to try oil.
1t is a suggestion that should he
acted upon. Oil may be used without
serious expense. In Marshalltown
residents of certain blocks in resi-
dence districts have the street before
their homes oiled. at their own cost.
1t is not great expense. Applica-
tons are NOT frequent. Perhaps they
would be necessarily more frequent
and somewhat more expensive on dirt
streets. However, one Marshalltown
resident who observed the oiled dirt
streets Of Juneau, Wis approves
the system highly and found upon in
uuiry and investigation that the cost
trihing in comparison to the bene-
fits derived.
I, is worth the attention Of the viii
Iage boards A street properly pre-
pared and oiled thoroughly is said to
need only small attention after thru
the season. Moreover, there is evil
dent all over Iowa a rapid growth OF
civic pride in the smaller towns ano
villages. If distinction as we'll as
comfort is to be attained the village
as well as the city must pave or OIL
its streets and keep up with the pro-
ceSSiOn.

performance. 1t was good but not the
best, it was Illinois and Nebraska COM
pared to Iowa, 1t lacked finish. And
when the real false teeth with suction
that grasped the plate and held 1t
agains the leverage of the jaw while
the lower incisors severed the juicy
kernels in the good old human way,
when those teeth arrived they came
with tidings of great joy. For front
teeth and sweet corn belong together.
Perhaps it is mussy sight when 4
big table full of folks turn to the sweet
corn on the cob: but human happiness
and the joy of the world are not to be
measured by mussiness. Let them
chank. Let them turn greasy jowls
toward each other. There are few
things more intimate than to eat corn
barriers. People discover that one
man is like another with the butter on
his chin, that all have their weaknesses
All mankind is equal eating corn on the
cob and equality is the secret of friend
ship. Even Charles Evans Hughes
couldn't keep the butter and such like
out of his whiskers and look dignified
and "austere" dealing with corn on the
cob.

When enough high explosive is

the loss TO the munition makers, but
of lives and the loss and disturbance

This war has shifted mental atti-
tudes. Our business seems to be
supplying the means of battle, murder
and sudden death to our neighbors.
Legally, perhaps, it is legitimate
industry; but. it is hard to. consider
it so in the light wherein one indivi-
dual sees his duty to another The
big explosion emphasizes the extent

CHINESE GET TYPEWRITER.
Machine invented by Young Orienta
Has 1000 Chara cters.

To make. it possible to print an
Geographic language like chinese or
Japanese, with their multiplicity Of
Characters, on the typewriter has been
much desired. The Pelling Daily News
reports that a young inventor, II. X.
Chow. exhibited a model of one at
Shanghai lately. He said that it was
made possible by an impression he. re-
ceived at an. exhibition in Boston,
Mass. The machine was about feet
by "a and weighs 40 pounds.
The machine has an indicator, upon
which are written 1000 characters,
each occupying predetermined posi-
lions. One is able TO locate anything
on the cylinder. which is the main part
Of the machine. while he is locating
the counterparts on the fiat surface.
This is the whole secret of the inven-
ton, in SO far as the mechanical deVel-
opment is concerned. The indicator IS
printed with 1000 characters. Its ar
rangement corresponds to that in
Chinese dictionary. A character is
found thru its radicals. The types are
of zinc and rest on the surface OF the
cylinder, They are exact reproduce
tions Of the characters on the indicat-
or, but in reversed positions. The car
riage which holds the paper upon
which the hammer strikes moves
transversely to the cylinder, thus Civ
ing the other coordinate motion. A
long rack turns the cylinder and at
the same time moves the carriage.
This is the most essential part of the
whole machine.

WHO STARTED IT?

Some one has started the theory that
married couplew no get along finely
Whlle they are poor, are pretty sure to
drift apart when the husband wins
what the world chooses to call success
And they point TO few glaring in
stances somewhere in the world of big
business 10 prove their statement.
Whereupon that statement is repeated
and believed by the large number of
people who never stop 10 do a bit of
thinking, but who accept ANYTHING that
they hear or read as gospel truth
II these same credulous folk had but
looked about in their own commul ity
they would have found that there Is no
reason for believing the preposterous
statement which they are giving cir
cuiation. They would find everywhere
in the land good people who had
started with little or nothing except
hope and ambition and a desire to get
on in the world, and who succeeded,
and they would find that the wife was
entitled to as much credit, perhaps,
as the husband, and that they were
sharing their good fortune as they
shared their poverty in the early days,
and as they had never been cowed and
stunted by poverty. they are unspoiled
by riches. And the years instead Of
pushing them apart, do but draw them
nearer together
Story writer's and verse makers have
taken up the theme, and make much
ado over the love in the cottage which
leads to nowhere and results in a sep
aratlon when the couple are able to
move into a palace. And these people
have no proof that such is but an oc-
casional isolated case. And then, how
can they, how can anybody know that
the few who have thus attracted much
attention, would not have drifted apart
in the course of the years, if success
had never come to them. For love in
the cottage does not always remain in
the cottage.
Take 1t in any way you like, and it
is another Of the foolish generalizat tons
which have no foundation in fact, bu.
which somehow get strong hold upon
many people.
