ANOTHE n?

Chicago Herald: The Persia looks
like another in a Iengthening series Of
submarine outrages. The fact that 1t
comes just at the moment when Aus
trta-Hung gary is making the fairest pro-
LESSONS Of good Intentions gives a
heavy shock and suggests that that
country may indeed have reverted to
the INSCRIPTIONS diplomacy OF past
centuries. However, the case is not
complete. The facts are highly sug.
.gestive as far as known, but further
information is desirable before reach
ing a definite conclusion.
To acquire this information is OBJ
vtously the first task Of our govern
'ment. Austria-Hungary has already
been asked to shed all the light on the
affair which it can furnish. The testi-
mony Of survivors Will also be care
fully taken by American representa-
tives abroad The first and the most
important question to settle is wheth-
er the boat was actually torpedoed or
was sunk by a mine. No one seems to
have seen the submarine. although one
man aboard claims to have seen the
track of the torpedo. However, in
view of the tremendous campaign by
submarines in the Mediterranean-as
shown by the list of victim ships sent
out from Vienna-slight testimony
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1916-01-06
will be needed to supplement the a.
most overwhelming presumption OF
destruction by underSea craft.

will be needed to supplement the a.
most overwhelming presumption OF
destruction by undersea craft.
There is no doubt that the Persia
carried one gun. The American consul
SO reports. However, the %concensus
OF official opinion al Westinghouse
expressed some time since-is that
such a circumstance does not neces-
sarily deprive the vessel of the char
acter Of a peaceful merchant ship.
Even a merchant vessel may properly
provide itself with some e of re-
.sistance against destruction. OF
course, if it uses them or attempts to
use them It puts itself beyond the
of International rules and
subjects itself to immediate destruc-
ton. But using, not merely having,
would seem to be the substance of the
.onense.
AS to one essential point there Is no
.obscurity. There vas nc notice what.
ever. Hundreds OF innocent civilians
men, women and children-were
sent to their deaths without a word OF
warning. In contemplating such a
wanton slaughter OF noncombatants 1t
IS hard to bring oneself to concede
that even the best of technical justif-
cations could morally excuse such a
deed. However, on the question Of
technical Justification the issue hangs
and the nature Of the duty which
will be presented to long-sufering
Washington.

PRAcTIcAL MEN NEEDED.

The absolute necessity for improved
methods of educating men for foreign
trade is strongly insisted upon by Dr..
Edward Ewing Pratt In his first an.
nual report as chief Of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce.
There may be an exception or two.
but the claim Is made that most col
leges and universities are doing too
little to train men for this highly i'm
portant work.
Exception is taken to the men with
only theoretical training who are
often put in charge Of commerce
classes in schools and colleges DR..
Pratt says: "It Is to be regretted
that the actual work Of instruction is
not intrusted to men who have some
practical or personal knowledge OF
the subject. A mere secondhand ac-
quaintance, a mere book knowledge
Of foreign trade is inadequate do
not mean by this statement to advo-
ate the employment Of merely prac.
teal exporters as instructors. But
do advocate the employment OF men
who have gathered their facts and In
formation by personal Investigation,
and have thus acquired a hrst-hand
knowledge and have q practical con-
tact with the things which they pro-
pose to teach"
The country is slowly learning that
It must be practical. The thing that
Is most needed in state and ma
tiona1 offices, Is successful and prac-
teal business experience.

HELPING FRANCE.

A department of commerce bulletin
states that a French industrial COM
mission is now touring the United
States and investigating conditions
with a view to establishing a mar
ket in this country for French pro-
ducts" One of the members of this
commission Is secretary Of the French
syndicate of cotton spinners. He is
making his headquarters at the Bos-
ton office of the bureau Of foreign
and domestic commerce. Thus, while
the department Of commerce is, os-
tensibly, bending every effort to get
the American manufacturer to extend
trade abroad. it is at the same time
giving the widest publicity at govern
ment expense to the efforts of for
eigners to capture the american mar
ket and putting the machinery and
conveniences OF the government at
their disposal in favoring their de-
signs. Several instances OF this ma
ture have been recently reported.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1916-01-06

The Cumberland News" published
in Maryland. a as a daily feature
Of its columns q department made
up of paragraphs taken from it's files
of forty years ago. Recently it pub
lished the following: ''The Washing
ton Star said it was pretty hard for
a member Of congress to please
everybody, but the News retorted
that it was not hard for a sixth dis
trict congressman to please every
body up here, all he had to do was
support protective tariff" That SEN
ument still exists, not only in Cum
berland but everywhere else in the
country where industry has eve been
established and built up by the ap-
plication Of a protective tariff. That
sentiment. after forty years. has lost
none Of its potency. That sentiment
will manifest itself anew at the next
election.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. just plain mulsifed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure aud entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
,cnsive soap or anything else you can
lse for shampooing, as this can't pos
IDLY injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in One or two teaspoonfuls
will make al abundance Of rich, creamy
iather, and cleansea the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lat,er rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get muisifcd cocoanut oil az
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to las.
everyone in the family for months.

STRANGE CHARM OF DESERT

, ! hANSs SS1SAfA" 16SS0s
A playa is a shallow, fat-hoored de-
preston characteristic of valleys hav-
ing no regular drainage to the sea. in
which storm waters collect and evap-
orate-a wet and dry lake. It may
be a shallow lake or a salt-incrusted
mud fiat.
In his description Of the prehistoric
Lake Lahontan, in the Great Basin.
the ate /. c.. Russell, of the United
States Geological Survey. writes:
1.-THE scenery on the larger playas
is peculiar and is usually desolate in
the extreme, but is not without its
charm. In crossing these wastes the
traveller may ride for miles over a
perfectly level floor, with an unbroken
sky line before him and not an OBJ
ject in sight to cast a shadow on the
ocean-like expanse. Mirages. which
may be seen every day on these
heated deserts, give strange fanciful
forms to the mountains and some
times transfgure them beyond recog-
milton. A pack train crossing the
desert a few miles distant may ap-
pear like some strange caravan OF
%Rrotesuue beasts fording a shallow
lake, the shores of which advance as
one rides away. The monotony OF
midday on the desert is thus broken
bv elusive forms that are eve chang
ing and suggest a thousand fancies
which divert the attention from the
fatigues of the journey. The cool
evenings and mornings In these arid
regions, when the purple shadows of
distant mountains are thrown across
the plain. have a charm that is un-
known beneath more humid skies,
and the profound stiffness Of the night
in these solitudes is always impress
sive."

a eRANpMA,s HOUSE

At GRANpMA's HOUSE
OF all the boys ats rich or poor
The poorest, I believe,
Is ones ats got no gramma's house
To go to Christmas eve.
Fist like we go to gramma's house,
My pa and ma and me
And brother Bud and cousin Jed
And sister Jane Marie.
We hitch the buckskin ponies up
And bundle up the sleigh
with lots of robes, and heated stones.
Then climb right in. and say!
You talk about your flynn ships.
Your automobiles, too,
You ought to ride to gramma's house
The way we always do.
Right down along the river road.
We go. apast the mill,
And ride. and talk and wish't ives
there
And wonder when, until
Most fore we know we're anywhur
there's gramma's house in sight.
And gramma at the window in
Her cap all lacy white.
Say! Talk about your visitin.'
In town or anywhur-
gramma's house at Christmas
time
s the best place ever were.
With logs a-glowin' on the hearth.
And cider sparklin' sweet.
And kitchen smells of punkin pies
And everything to eat!
