WHOSE OK IS GoRED?
English Protection of German Traders
at Home


In connection with the British black
list OF American Arms, recently pub
lished, the following editorial from
the London Daily Mail will be found Of
some interest. 1t is under the title "Our
British Huns-Publish Their Names"
The DaSls- Mail on June 26 printed what
follows. On that day and on many others
communications to that and other papers
referred TO a series OF articles called ''The
Unseen Hand" in which many accusa-
tions were made against Germans allow
ed full liberty even in the prescribed
regions OF England. Particularly distress
ing to the correspondents OF the papers
was the continued presence of German
officials In the Deutsche Bank. which
still does business in London. 1t viii be
seen that England has rather busy time
OF It at home. and that critics are free
to say that when certain interests are az
fscted the Government does nothing. The
editorial says:
We passed a trading with the enemy
act soon after the war began. We
amended It in November, 1914; again in
July. 1915 third time last December,
and yet once more IN January OF the
present year. And little more than
month ago there was issued a royal
proclamation prohibiting trade with
persons and firms OF enemy nationality
or association. whose names were given,

Highland Mary

H. l.. D.-"Hghland Mary" is n name
immortallzed by Robert Burns the Scotch
poet. She is generally thought to have
been Mary Campbell. but more probably
was Mary Morrison. In 1899 we have three
songs to Mary: "Will ye go to the Indies,
my Mary?" "Highland Mary" eye banks
and braes of bonny Doon'D and ITO Mary
in Heaven" ("Thou lingering star etc")
These were all written some time after his
marriage with Jean Armour U7ss), from
the recollection of "one of the most inter-
estIng passages of his youthful days" -Four
months after the poet had sent to his pub
Usher the song called "Highland Mary"
ne sent that entitled MARY Morrison"
which he calls one OF his juvenile works
Thus all the songs refer to some youthful
passion, and at least three of them were
sent In letters TO the publisher, SO that
there is little doubt that the Mary Of all
the four is one and the same person, called
by the author Mary Morrison.

remain at their posts when peace comes.
The present Administration is acting as
though these facts did not concern Amer
lea. It's tariff law was passed for the
express purpose of opening American
markets to foreigners and for compelling
American producers to compete with the
producers of the world. 1t was willing
that small industries here should die IL
some other country had succeeded IN per-
fecting the processes of manufacture. 1t
was opposed to any attempt to develop
new industries when they were already
prosperous somewhere else. The war has
demonstrated the folly OF such policy
The nation has suffered because we were
dependent on foreign countries for many
things that we cannot now get, and that
our business men are now afraid to at
tempt to produce lest when peace comes
the value Of their investment will be de-
stroyed by a flood of importattons. The
market quotations for scores of articles
cry out against Democratic incompetence
and condemn the Democratic tariff law.
And those quotations outline the changes
that must be made in the law when Con-
gress is controlled by men who believe 1t
is better to develop America than to make
foreigners rich.
II the threatened disaster to American
trade is to be averted when the nations

the friends OF the American theory OF pro.

now in control. who have for more than
a generation insisted that a protective
tariff is unconstitutional. An old-fash-

the increase in the supply OF food products

production Of wheat increased $50 per cent;
corn 270 per cent oats AIS per cent bar

The First Colporteur

The society is probably prouder of its
colporteur work than of any of its other
enterprises. This is under the direction
OF the missionary department. A col
porteur, it may be explained for the bene..
fit of the uninitiated, is man who goes
about the country where there are nd
churches. He distributes tracts and
other religious literature. holds meetinsY
and organizes Sunday schools. It was 81
1874 that the work of the colporteurs B

long ago began to supply wagons to some

slant use, carrying tracts. Bibles, Testal7
ments and other matter into the un-
churched regions. In 1890 the Rev. Way
land Hoyt, long pastor Of the Chestnut
Street Baptist Church, who had returned
from visit to the northwest, suggested
that a chapel car be built in order that the
people living in regions where there were
no churches and no suitable room for
holding religious services might have
the gospel preached to them. The first
car was put in service the next year.
Now the society owns seven such cars.

Began as n Tract Society

When Noah K. Davis. a young BaptiS
preacher of Salisbury, Md, conceived tha :
society in 1924, he had no expectation
that it would ever own and occupy I
building worth half million dollars, and
If he had been told that it would ever find
employment for more than 6OOO mlssion-
aries he would have laughed at the idea.
Davis conceived only small society to
print religious tracts. When 1t was or
ganized in Washington its name was the
Baptist General Tract Society.
The great growth of the society began
after its removal from Washington to-
this city at the close of 1926. It's first
office was in South Front street, where
it occupied single room for which 1t
paid 500 a year rent. It now collects
100000 a year in rent from the tenants
of its building at the corner Of Chestnut
and Seventeenth streets, for whom 1t finds
room after allowing ample space for its
own activities.

T. B. C.-The log-line Is one OF the older
devices for measuring the velocity OF a
ship. The log is fiat and is made so that
1t will float perpendicularly. To this line
is fastened, called the log-line. The ap-
proximate speed OF the ship can be deter
mined by letting the line run off for say,
half minute. The length of the line run
off in that time gives a basis for calcu-
Iating the speed per hour. The log, during
the experiment. remains stationary on the
surface Of the water. of course. This is
the older method. A modern method in
wolves the use of a log with a revolving

EDUCATION THAT COUNTS.

In the Utah exhibit at the San
Francisco fair was shown SO varieties
of fruits and vegetables which were
canned by Helen Durham, a twelve
year old girl of the state of Utah.
This exhibit attraced much attention,
and the feat of Miss Durham, just a
little girl, was heralded abroad by
the department of agriculture.
Many young ladies say there is no
opportunity for endeavor today, yet
this girl took the work of our grand
mothers which was supposed to be
perfected and out of date, and so i'm
proved it that her work attracted the
attention of the nation.
Thousands of dollars are expended
in giving some special education to
young ladies. yet many of them dc
not apply the education which has
been given them. That which Miss
Durham has accomplished shows that
it does not always require money to
do the most practical things.

BOOMERANG.

The commissioner of internal rev.
enue has informed congress that, in
making up the budgets, allowance
must be made for decline in the in
ternal revenue receipts, and some
other form of taxation must be found
to supply the loss in the revenue from
liquor taxes, says the Anaconda Stand
ard.
The internal revenue receipts from
the liquor taxes amounted to $218, :
600, 900 last year. The growth of the
prohibition movement and the increase
of the territory where prohibition has
been adopted lead the commissioner
of internal revenue to expect that
from now on there will be steady
decline in the revenue derived from
this source and he calls on congress to
look elsewhere for revenues to supply
the deficiency. He finds that there
has been a decline in the consumption
of liquors and corresponding de-
crease in the internal revenue receipts
and he expects this decrease to be-
come even more marked.
