PRINTING.

OTYLES in Job Printing have
u undergone many changes in
/ D the past few years. The old
style effects, with the big,
gaudy type and fancy borders, have
been replaced with more simple de-
signs. PreSent-day advertisers realize
that the old, out-of-date designs have
no connection with modern business
methods, consequently they use more
dignifed type faces which not only
attracts the buyers attention but re-
fleets the prosperity of their business
as we'll.
The equipment of our Job De-
partment is up-to-date in every re-
spect Our type faces are new, our
presses are kept clean and in good
condition; and the ink and paper we
use are Just little better than seems
necessary. Let us print your next
Job-we are satisfying other Martins
burg business men and we believe in
our ability to satisfy you.

R%cOpenIng the Canal.

General GEORGE W. COCKTAILS wrote
on November II. 1918. In his exhaus-
tive report on conditions ut Panama
that 'it is the intention to pass ships
as soon as a channel Is secured .
and there are reasonable grounds for
assuming that II channel through the
Obstructed area can be maintained"
The country is therefore justified In
expecting that the canal shall here
after b" open for navigation while
the grave task of deepening the prism
and reducing the weight OF the banks
In carried forward. General COCKTAILS
has pointed ont that nothing can
stop the movements now in progress
until the angle Of repose Is reached"
and this ''can be reached only by
removing the excess amount Of ma
terlal along the cut"
Much work must be done to restore
the canal to the condition that oh
tanned before 1t was INSTRUCTED by
slides that have now been pierced.
hut on the strength of General
GOETHALs's report we may accept II
as a fact that the canal force will
be able hereafter to control the slides
and keep the waterway unlnterrupt-
edly open for ships.

In the Journal OF the American
Medical Association Of April 3 the

Jr.. professor Of mnteria medica In
the University Of Pennsylvania. He
writes: "Hypophosphites owe their

CHURCHILL" After stating the lat.
ter's theory he goes on: "Supposing.
however. that rHuRcHnL's theory Of
the cause Of tuberculosis were true
II would require about one
quart Of the hypophcsphites. four
times a day, to produce the effect he
DESIRES" He concludes. IAN IN
biassed study Of the evidence must
inevitably lead to the conclusion that
any therapeutic virtue In the COM
pound syrup Of hypophosphites Is due
to the sugar II contains. The req.
sons for Its popularity are, first, and
most important, persistent advertis-
ing. and second. Its innocuous charac-
ter"
The latest testimony Of the value
Of hypophosphites comes from DR.. Al.
cINDoR. In the London Practitioner,
1913, as follows:

Giles that the vote will show that the

will be completed some time to-day.
That the Federation of Teachers As

cular letter that Miss Grace g. S,rachan.
the president and chairman OF tn" joint
committee framing the bill, has sent
to the newspapers. Miss Strachan says
that s~elhshuess. socialism, envy, jealousy
and personalities are behind the opposi-

AssAus LATE WAR VETERANS
Civil Service Reform Association
After Albany Lobby.

The civil Service Reform Assocla-
ton called attention in a statement
issued yesterday TO the c~ndeavors of
"a we'll financed and effective lobby Of
n few Spanish war veterans who are
seeking 10 destroy the civil service law
by securing an absolute preference in
appointment and promotion
The associations remarks were prcdi-
Gated upon a bill introduced in the
LEGISLATURE by Senator G.lChrist grant
ing preference in appointment and pro-
motion In civil service To Spanish war
veterans. The constitutional corveu-
.ion considered this proposal and re-
1ected II.
Part OF the associations statement
said:
ut is unfair to the Spanish war
veterans as Il body TO hold them entirely
responsible for the proposed legislation.
\ few camp followers have sought To
advance their selfish interests through
the c~omplacence of their comrades in
arms aud have represented that the
entire body Of spanish war veterans Of
this state are in favor of this urdemo-
cratic preference.

York Ctty7

In the opinion Of the Republican
leaders Of New York the reapportion-
ment bill introduced in the Legislature
on Saturday IL an admirable measure.
1t has been drawn with such skill and
consideration that no important men,
Der Of the dominant party seriously
opposes II. It will be put through
without creating II division In the
majority. II this does not entitle 1t
to applause. by what standards are
appointments to be judged?
Yet the oppression of citizens resi-
dent In New York city Is perpetuated
by the bill. A city Assemblyman will
represent $1,000 citizens: the up.
State member Of the same chamber
will represent $1,000. The average
constituency Of n Senator from this
town will be 10000. or 10000 more
than those Of the members from dis
tricts beyond Its boundary lines. A
part Of this inequality results from
constitutional provisions: hut We're
they %non-existent the %exigencles Of
politics would impose on the majority
the high duty OF looking out for itself
This is revealed by the report accom-
panying the bill. In which the reten
ton of fifty-one Senators is defended
and n policy Of increasing the nun

resentation OF rural districts should

faster than the rural. Forty-eigh,

tute New York; and these splendid
landscapes must not he deprived o.

Women and Prepapedness.

That women are naturally pacific
Is n fact upon which optimists base
their belief that the spread If woman
suffrage In the world tends toward
the eventual establishment of univer-
sal peace. But those who deduce
from this generalization the belief
that the women Of the United States
are for the most part antagonistic tn
national preparedness jump to n con.
clusion that Is not tenablp. The re-.
cent Presidential primaries in Iii
nOis bore testimony to the fact that
the women of that State. far from
being ''mOllycOddles." are more de-
voted to the cause of preparedness
than the men. In Cook county. for
example, II larger percentage of the
ballots cast by women was for RoosE-
WELT than of those cast 10y men. The
1.S31 Cook county women who ok
pressed their preference for RoosE'
WELT for President did so avOwedly
upon the preparedness issue.
This does not mean, Of course, that
the Illinois women who voted for the
Colonel r female swushbucklcrs
fire eaters. war mnniacs. Their vote
merely proves that they understand
that only through complete national
preparedness can this nation be place.
in n position conducive to the mainte
nance of peace. They possess suiii'
Gent imagination to realize fully what
has happened to unprepared peoples
during the past two years In variou,
parts of the world. and though. being
women, they are cOnstitutionally de
voted to the ways of peace, they have
enough common sense To realize tina,
the best way for n country to avoid
war Is to he strong enough to force
Il prospective enemy To pause and cOn
slider the possible cost Of aggression.

ALBANY, April 16-There seems TO be

600. 000, On Tuesday. although this bill
Is on the calendar for tomorrow night.
II Is expected the Senate also will lake
a day to dispose OF this measure. as the
Democrats are bent upon making az
much party capital as possible out Of this
measure.
The legislative reapportionment bill
will pass the Legislature without serious
criticism. This Ia due to the fact that
the reapportionment committee have
been working together harmoniously and
It Is expected there will be a full Repub-
lican vote for this bill in each house when

especially true with regard to the APP

that there will be any occasion for an

yet TO act upon resolutions extending the
| us'pibpI ~ u lUf lHOIllpSDH II tTll-

which is investigating New York city
finances. and a number OF other COM
mittees.
Both the Senate and Assembly have
their calendars well In hand. The As

calendar Of bills each day and little re-
mains for the Assembly TO do except
to pass the Senate bills which were re-
A.tA III. ,--f- --n - A. - A,a-1
during the next three days.
The Senate calendar has been almost
cleared and 1t Is expected that the As
eembly bills 10 be acted on can be dis
posed Of easily by Wednesday. There
are a few bills in committee Of the
whole, including proposed amendments
to the public service law desired by the
New York city commission and by the
Thompson committee. and there Is much
difference Of opinion as TO whether II
OF them should be enacted into law.
The programme Of preparedness train
ing for boys In schools will be settled
before the session ends and It Is prac-
tically certain that the Slater-Welsh bill,
providing for compulsory physical train
ing for all pupils over 8 years Of age
will be passed. This measure already
has gone through the Assembly with
only four dissenting votes. II is sup
ported by the State Department Of Edu-
cation and there is no opposition any
