CAN YOU BEAT IT?

The ways Of some responsible heads OF some
governments are as difficult of following as is
the path seldom traversed through an African
jungle. Now, provided Carranza, who has dec
Grated himself with the title of First Chief OF
the Mexican Republic, will promise to be good
the United States, on the word Of Secretary OF
State Lansing, presumably backed by that Of
President Wilson, holds out bait of financial
assistance to the government set up by the
ruler of the alleged republic below the border.
Well, WELL well!

NOT ABOVE ADVICE.

There is time when in military matters we,
as people, need the best expert advice we can
get; we ought to be able to get such advice from
the officers Of the regular army. Senator
Reed, of Missouri, said in debate the emer
gency militia bill last week that he was g grow
ing little tired Of the United States army die
tating the policy of congress with reference to
the volunteer soldiers Of the country
The officers of the army have never dictated
the policy of congress in regard to volunteer
soldiers or any other kind of soldiers. Dicta-
ton by army officers to congress is not desira-
BILE, but a willingness on the part Of congress to
take and seek advice from army officers is
wholly desirable and necessary if the best eff
ficiency and economy of result is sincerely de
sired. Congress has not demonstrated its fit
ness to be trusted with this country's military
establishment, independent of any and all help
it can get from Independent sources.

WINGS FOR THE EAGLE.

The military and naval defense bills now
pending in congress provide total of $16,-
5s1 ,666 for aviation. This is one of the most
encouraging features of the revised prepared
ness program, for the naval aviation bud get
was first cut ill-advisedly by the house from
S13,O0O,o00 to 100000, and the army avia-
ton allowance was trimmed down to similar
starvation figure.
Even congress was capable of approaching
the plight in which the army found itself on
entering Mexico without an effective aeroplane
scout service, and, at length, total of 13 Os1,-
666 has been included in the general army bill
to make up for this lack. The appropriation.
which seems sure of passage, will provide for
the upkeep of the San Diego, Cal, aviation
school and the equipment and maintenance of

It is declared this diet includes all the nutri-

such an expenditure. The living expense Of
most people is bounded solely by their income.

Thrift is the exception and waste the rule,

This leaves only $2,5oo,OOo, an inadequate
sum, to make a beginning at a real naval aero
service. Although taught by present experience
that the American eagle must be able to fly

that some day it may have to spread It's wings
also over the water.

A NOVEL OF MYSTERY.
MRS. BALFAME, by Gertrude Anterior. New
York: Frederick A. Stokes company publishers

MRS. BALFAME, by Gertrude Atherton. New
York: Frederick A. Stokes company, publishers.
Mrs. Anterior began writing in 1883 and has
a long list of novels to her credit, many of them
being expositions Of the life Of the people Of
California present and past. Critics have
called her the leading novelist Of America, but
such judgment does not take account of the
great number Of contemporary writer's who may
be classed with the best. However, Mrs. Ather-
ton has an immense following, and any book
from her pen is sure to command interest and
a sale not to be viewed with disdain. Mrs.
Balfame," the latest offering of this industri-
Gus novelist, is story that deals with a murder
whose perpetrator is not discovered until the
end And, strange to say, the reader is not
confronted in the pages with detective ever
on the track of the criminal and weaving net
of circumstantial evidence to fit his own view
of ''the case'' In reality the book is fas-
cinating study in feminine psychology and re-
markable picture of provincial American life
s'Mrs. Balfame had made up her mind to COM
NIT MURDER is the opening sentence of the
book; later she is found in a situation pointing
to her as the slayer when her husband is
is the material Mrs. Atherton
starts with and develops to remarkable solu-
ton, solution SO unexpected as to amaze the
most surfeited novel reader. The subtle and
complete psychology with which the characters
are developed and the breathless suspense, sus-
tanned to the closing chapter, make ''Mrs. Bal
fame' a story in which crime and mystery are
combined with high order of literary art
Congress has followed the lead of twenty
five state legislatures in passing law to the
effect that no federal court can set aside a
Judgment or grant new trial because of any
technical error which did not affect injuriously
the rights Of the parties. This is eminently
proper. Where court has made just deter
mination of case upon the facts, it should be,
and hereafter will be, impossible to declare
lit void unless there are plainly appearing rea-
sons why it ought to be 80 declared.
When the guardsnen feel like grumbling
over inconvenience and hardships they have
only to recall that at Valley Forge conditions
were not always just what the soldiers and their
friends would have liked them to be.
The Swiss buyers who have taken to order
ing their machinery from America probably
will not be surprised if prices also climb to AL
pine heights.

CENSUS BUREAUS SUMMARY CON-
CORNING THE CITY OF HIGH
POINT FOR ror1

Washington, d. c., Jan. "a pre-
llmlnary statement of the general re-
suits of the census of manufactures for
High Point, NJ. c., has been issued by
Director Sam L. Rogers, of the Bureau
of the Census Department of Com
merce. 1t was prepared under the di-
rection of Mr.. William M. Steuart, chief
statistician for manufactures.
The figures re preliminary and subject
to such change and correction as may
be found necessary from further ex-
animation of the original reports.
The census excluded the hand trades,
the building trades, and the neighbor-
hood industries, and took account only
of esta blishments conducted under the
factory system. Statistics were not
collected for establishments having pro-
ducts for the census year valued at less
than $500, except that reports were
taken for esta blishments idle during
portion of the census year, or which be-
gan operation during that year, and
whose products for such reason were
valued at less than $500.
The word establishment as used in
the census reports may mean ore than
one mill or plant, provided they are
owned or controlled and operated by a
single individual, partnership: corpora
ton, or other owner or operator, and
are located in the same town or city.
The reports were taken for the calen-
dar year ended December 81, 1914,
wherever the system of bookkeeping
permitted figures for that period to be
but when the fiscal year of an
differed from the calendar
year report was obtained for the oper-
atoms of that establishment for it's is-
,al year falling most largely within the
calendar year 1914.
Summary of the Statistics.
1t is estimated that the population of
High Point on July l, 1914, was 1880.
There were 81 establishments reported
within the corporate limits OF the city
Turing 1914.
The capital invested was $4,9l5,OOO.
