NEW PEACE BOOK

''The impoverishment in money and
in young men has carried Europe back
toward conditions of utter collapse pro-
duced by the religious wars that sue
ceeded the Reformation, said DR.. Da-
vid Starr Jordan, the peace advocate,
while in Washington recently.
DIR. Jordan believes the political lines
of the next half century will be drawn
on the question of militarism versus
civilism. He says the present war is the
greatest intellectual and political strug-
gle since the Reformation and believes
that we cannot contiue the present war
system, for it has fallen Of it's own
weight, he says.
Following an exhaustive study of the
peace problem, DR.. Jordan has just pub.
lished volume on "Ways to Lasting
Peace (Bobbs- Merrill, Indianapolis),
in which is reviewed the peace plans not
only of prominent individuals and or
CARNATIONS of this country, but Of for
eign nations for centuries back.

WOMAN AND HER DRESS

The average man Of today is fond
Of criticising the modern garb Of wo-
man.
We look, we eriticise, and we look
again.
But just why we criticise it is hard
to say, for the dress Of the women Of
the country is becoming more sanitary
every year.
Those who consider it immodest
should study the fashions in vogue in
the old days, when palm leaf fan and
a shoestring or fig leaf was about tho
extent of feminine attire, and it was
quite without detriment to their mo.
rails
Let the women alone. They are man 3
mental and moral superior,s and if it
pleases them to adopt styles that ap--
peal to them and yet are sanitary it
is not for us to comment.
They have managed to hold their
own through all of the changing styles
since the days Of Eve, and undoubtedly
they can do the same today, regardless
of what the styles may be.
We have too much glass in our own
houses to be found throwing stones at
our womanhood.

WAR AUTHORITIES CoNTEM.
PLATE MILITARY ROADS

Washington, July 26.-With the pass.
age of the federal good roads bill, pro-
viding means for improving the roads
of every state in the Union, comes the
important announcement that Uncle
Sam s war authorities will offer sugges-
tiOns looking toward the connection Of
roads so as to make the best system of
military highways possible at this time.
Secrets Of the War College, which
makes plans for the -ountry's defense,
are more striking with regard to the
lack Of military roads than on the lack
Of naval and army equipment. The Eu-
ropean war has served 20 emphasize the
need of highways and feeders neces-
sary to adequate national defense.
As an example, it has been pointed
out by the war authorities that if there
had been better roads, troops could have
been shifted with greater celebrity from
one point on the Mexican border to an
other with infinitely greater protection
Highways along the coast, they say, are
equally essential for the nations de-
Tense.
So important does the War College
regard the need of highways by which,
in the event Of war, troops and military
equipment can be transported, that high
officers Of the college have taken up
with good roads authorities plans by
which the contemplated road improve
ments will lead to at least makeshift
for military highways.
The American Automobile Association
which perhaps did more than any
other organization of its kind toward
assisting in the enactment of good
roads law is heartily in favor of the
plan for military highways. It's officers

WAGES IN AMERICA

The wages Of the American farmer
are higher than those of industrial wage
workers but lower than those of salaried
employees in industry. This is based
on intensive studies of LOIS farms made
by the Department of Agriculture. The
government experts found the wages of
the average farmer are about 5000, COM
posed of about 5000 in cash and about
$500 supplied by the farm. The average
wage Garner in a factory earns about
$3.50 and the average salaried employee
about $1,000.

the same precautions as regards cfeanli-
ness Of hands in caring for infantile pa.
ralysis patients as for those afflicted
with other infectious diseases.
A child may convey the disease to
others even after lapse of several
weeks. For this reason quarantine should
be maintained for considerable period,
usually from six to eight weeks, and
the. above precautions should be ad-
hered to during this time. Distinction
of the room following recovery is ad.
visable.

The DESPLAND HOTEL
CLOSED THIS MORNING

The Despland hotel closed this morn
ing after breakfast completing the
most successful season that this pop
ular hostelry has ever known in its
history, which triumph is due to the
splendid management of L. NJ Waite,

insight to the necessary comfort of
guests has been the keynote of it's
popularity.
A number of the guests who were
at the hotel at the close have gone
to other hotels in Daytona to stay for
several weeks before going north,
while others will go to St August
Mr.. Waite will leave for the north

come, but the small amounts from

welcome and will add just that much

HEARING ON LABEL GUARANTEES.
Postponement of Food Inspection De-
cision Again Sought.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. ia hearing
on the question Of postponement OF the
effective date Of food inspection decision
1853, which in substance forbids the use
of guaranty legends and serial numbers
on labels of foods and drugs in inter.
state commerce, will be held in the bu.
reau of chemistry, 2l6 18th street, S. w,
Washington, d. c., dt 2 o'clock p m,
March 10, 1915.
This decision, issued May 5, 1914, az
originally promulgated, was TO take eff
feet May /, 1915. Later, the date on
which it was TO take effect was post,
poned until May /, 1915, with the pro-
viso as 10 products packed and labeled
prior to May |, 1915, in accordance with
law and with the regulations in effect
prior to May 5, 1914, that the effective
date was postponed until November ],
1916.
Numerous requests recently have been
made to the department for further post
ponement. Those requesting this action
represent that manufacturers and dealers
still have on hand large quantities of la.
bells printed prior to May 5, 1914, and
bearing the guaranty legend and serial
number 1t is represented That this sup
ply of labels in the aggregate cost many
thousands of dollars, and that unless
they can be used their owners will sus-
tain severe loss.
On the other hand, many manufactur-
ers, in expectation of the new regula
TONS going into operation next May,
have already eliminated the guaranty
legend and serial number from their la
bells.
All parties interested in the question,
whether in favor of the extension or OPP
posed to it, are invited to attend the

Judge Tyler's statement is as follows
Gov. Gates statement having been
called to the attention of leading officers
of the Local Option league they ex-
pressed great surprise at the construc-
ton that his excellency placed upon the
paragraphs referred to in the local option
document.
"The governor signed the proposed pro.
hbitory law passed by the legislature at
its last session, and it is generally I'M
derstood that it had his personal approx

nor was with them; they knew he was
on the other side.
"The document on page IL, calls the
attention of voters to the subject of the
town unit and to the growing danger
of centralized power in government, ana
on this vital subject quotes, verbatim,
paragraphs from the governors inaugu-
raj message in which he speaks in strong
terms of the danger of having our peo-
pie relieved of the actual responsibility
of citizenship
"Then, that no one may be misled. the
document says that the governors sue
cess as highway commissioner was large
ly due to his adherence to the town unit
system, and quotes another paragraph
from the message in which he applies his
sound doctrine to the subject of high |
ways.
THE league would apply this doctrine
