And all because Thuringia had 10 be
in Germany instead of in Alaska or
Cuba.
Before the war glasS-blown articles
were imported from Thuringia, for
there are not enough glass-blowers
in France, England and the United
States TO meet one-fiftieth of the
American demand for fine glassware.
Thuringia, which formerly furnish
ed the glassware for America is now
inaccessible to the outer world. In
the heart of Germany, it has no
chance 10 export anything but men
for the German army. 1t has done
this until il has no men left To blow
glass, no men to make the glass. and
no way to ship it if it had the men.
American plants have doubled their
output, but still il takes them months
To fill large order They have built
new factories, employed more labor,
worked day and night. but sill the
orders pile up and the consumer com
plains when his order doesn't arrive
on time.

will happen again in 1890, 2O16 and

centuries it is not once on the books

the latest date at which Easter can

German Principally Supply
ing 95 Per Cent of Worlds

PRICES ARE SOARING
Chemistry Department May
Be Compelled to Employ
Tin Test Tubes.

Walk into a University chemis ry
or physics laboratory some time and
notice the panied expression on the
instructors face when IA student
breaks test tube. Thuringia's the
cause.
Watch a housewife handle a piece
Of glass. Notice how tenderly she
cares for il, as if il We're a baby. If
she drops it-well, what she says is
all because of Thuringia
Ask the merchant why his orders
for glassware are uelayed so long,
why the cost of glassware is rising
50 rapidly and he'll give YOU just one
answer: "Thuringia."
Blame it all on ImurIngia. If it
had stayed out of the war and allowed
the others to scrap, everything would
have been all right Thuringia should
not be so impor,ant-it's too small to
make such a big splash. You don't
know Thuringia? No. it's not a person
merely little princlpaity in Ger
many, about the size of Rhode Island.
Thuringia is right in the midst of
the European war. and as result all
its business industries are closed. Now
you have the whole Thurin-
gia formerly furnished about % per
cent of the fine glassware of the
world.
Since the war started. glassware
has been rapidly mounting in price
until the chemistry department of the
University may soon be compelled to
Use tin cups for test tubes. When
student breaks test tube. he feels
as if he had just got word from home
that the little store had failed and
father couldn't send any more money.

>oT MORE But BETTER LAWS

Dean Eldon Il. James in recent
lecture referred 10 the fact that there
are ~, 900 laws passed by our national
and state legislatures every year.
This of course, is only small per
centage OF the thousands OF bills that
are introduced in the various legisla-
lures every session. The reason for
much hasty and worthless legislation
is seen at once. How can the law
makers be expected TO give thoughtful
consideration and discussion TO such
a vast amount of legislation?
In the last session of the Missouri
LEGISLATURE. for example. practically
nothing was accomplished during the
first four weeks Anxious to make up
for lost time, the leaders rushed
through several hundred bills of all
kinds in the last two weeks of the
session.
One remedy for this condition would
be to limit in some way the number
of bills which can be introduced.
There are thousands of bills intro
duced in the legislatures Of this conn-
try every session that haven't
chance of getting the recognition OF
,he committees In Great Britain.
bills can be iatrodsced into Parliament
only by the committees themselves.
The committees hold hearings for
the consideration of any legislation
which any interest may wish TO bring
before that body. The members them
selves are not permitted to introduce
bills except through the committees.
In this country We permit the mem
bers of The legislatures to introduce
AS many bills as they please.
The English system is by no means
perfect. but it is better than ours.
Certainly some limitation on the free
dom of introducing bills would result
In better and less hasty legislation.
