COLD WINTER SIGNS
IOhio State Journal

There is always a great deal OF
predicting by old-fashioned prog
nosticators at this time of year or
what kind of winter we are going
to have. Some are saying the win
ter will be a cold one. because the
corn husks and the fur on the ami
mails are thicker than usual. 1t
sounds reasonable. But it really
isn't. The corn husks and the fur
are thicker because we had a cool
summer, not because we are going
to have a cold winter. Then, too,
these wiseacres say the birds left
early and that means a long, cold
winter, which is also arguing from a
lack of knowledge. Most birds have
certain time for leaving the nor
thern ATTITUDES. and leave on sched-
ule time, irrespective of the wea-
ther. The swallows go while we are
still drinking ice tea and hunting
the shady side of the street. But
the harder birds, like the robins,
bluebirds, meadowlarks, stay as long
as the food supply is good. A we'll
fed bird is a warm bird. That is
why we sometimes have large
flocks of robins wintering with us
even in zero weather. On the other
hand, the fact that we are over 700
degrees behind on temperature for
the year doesn't mean that this will
be all Slaughtered out this year. 1t
| may take 10. So the only thing to
do is to sit tight and take what
comes

COMPENSATION DECISIONS

T HE State Compensation Board is
building up a system of prece-
dents in it's decisions of cases
which ought to facilitate future ad-
ministration of a code about whose
success in a Commonwealth OF such
varied activities as Pennsylvania
some folks have had some misgivings
in the last few years. AS matter Of
fact, the State compensation system
has been signalized by the ease with
which it has fitted into our industrial
and business life. Fortunately, it was
we'll talked over before being enacted
into law and the men named to put
it into effect went at it with such
wholehearted interest that in n COM
paratively short time it was operat-
ing smoothly.
Very few of the decisions have
been appealed. The opinions have
been generally accepted as fair con-
clusions, although some have pre-
sented propositions requiring careful
study and patient investigation. Lined
up beside those of other States and
even of the English. system, which
has Justly worldwide fame, the work
of the Pennsylvania Compensation
Commissioners ranks well, indeed.
The end of December will mark
the second year of the system of
payment for injury to workers in the
great industrial State of the Union.
While there are demands for changes
the plan of allowing it to work out
can be said to have been proven wise
and the law itself to have been sue
cessful and not burdensome. Prece-
dents have been established rapidly
and there should be little excuse for
prolonged litigation.

PERFECT MACHINES

their master, swollen with dynastic
ends, came along and loaded them
for his own purposes. In old times
every American colonist kept his
gun within easy reach, lest he should
need 1t to shoot at an unexpected In

think that 10 million or more Ger

TIL city authorities are at q loss
i to decide upon the best method
of garbage disposal. 1t is gen.
orally understood that the govern
ment will ask all cities to save fats
contained in refuse by reduction or
other means. Now it happens that
garbage contains many elements of
food value other than fats that are
lost in the processes of reduction.
To avoid this loss. as we'll as to COM
ply with the federal governments re-
quest for greater production of pork,
some municipalities the past summer
have undertaken to feed their gar
bage to pigs and have found in this
a solution of their garbage difficult
ties.
Why not give this a trial in Har-
risburg? Any one of half dozen
plans for working the refuse into
pig feed might be adopted. The
country is sorely in need of meat
If what we formerly threw away car
be turned into food we would be just
that much ahead. A mighty blow
would be struck at the high cost OF
living if every city and town in the
country fed it's refuse to pigs that
later could be utilized to increase the
food supply.
At least the idea is we'll worth the
earnest consideration of city council
men, who must find some satisfactory
solution to the garbage problem
within the new few weeks.

FINNISH INDIGNATION
GOmaha Beel

Finlanders p, 'css to be indignant
at the policy of the United States in
dealing with neutrals on the food
question, and one of the Helsingfors
papers sarcastically criticises Presi-
connection. Our scandinavian
friends persist in ignoring the fact
that Americans are voluntarily re-
stricting themselves that we may
have more food to send abroad, al
though we are under slight obliga-
ton to meet the requisition of those
who have steadily aided our enemies.
The Films had their full share in
the Russian revolution, and since
March have contributed notably to
the confusion that has disorganiZed
that country politically and econom-
Ically. With order restored in Rus
sia q huge reservoir of food will be
opened, not only for its own people,
but for Sweden, Norway and Den
mark. Insead of berating the United
States the Films might better employ
their time in an effort to get Russia
back on it's feet, to the end that the
great stores of grain be saved from
Germany and put to the use of the
people who need it. Indignation eX-
pressed at the course of the United
States come with bad grace from a
people who have spent months in To-
menting the dissolution of all SEM
blance of orderly government, but 1t
is typical of the nations whose sell
fishness has brought them to their
present straitened condition.

The county schooIteachers who
are attending institute in Harrisburg
have no uncertain notions about the
sculptor Barnard's much discussed
statue of Abraham Lincoln. "A
group of them were standing In
front of Barnard's work at the Cap
itol when an old professor took up
the cause of Bincoln's personal ap-
pearance with great vigor. my
father knew Lincoln WELL" he said,
And he has the most accurate OF
photographs which show that Lin
coin did not have ungainly feet and
hands. He had firm powerful
hand but with no trace of bony APP
pearance. His foot was apportioned
to his body and not too big or toe
small. AS for his clothes, all these
photographs show that he dressed
neatly and like a gentleman of that
period" The schoolteachers seemed
to thoroughly agree with the profes-
sor and Sculptor Barnard came in
for considerable criticism.

TRENCH LIFE

"As the immortal costemonger OBJ
served, there amt no word in the
blooming language for the trenches
in Belgium" says Major Ian Hay
Beth in "All In It." the continual
ton of THE First Hundred Thou
sand" just published by Houghton
Mifflin Company I'm the first place
there is no settled trench line at all.
The Salient has been battlefield for
twelve months past. No one has ever
had the time, or opportunity, to con-
struct anything in the shape of per-
manent defenses. A shallow trench,
trimmed with an untidy parapet of
sandbags, and there is your strong
hold! For rest and meditation, q
hole in the ground, half-full of wa
ter and rooted with a sheet of gal
vanized iron; or possibly a glorifled
rabbit-burrow in canal-bank.
These things, as a modern poet has
observed. are all right in the sum-
mer time. But winter here is a dis
integrating season. 1t rains heavily
for, say three days. Two days of
sharp frost succeed, and the rain
soaked earth is reduced to the neces-
sary degree of friability. Another
days rain, and trenches and dugouts
come sliding down like melted but
ter. Even If you revet the trenches,
II Is not easy to drain them. The
only difference is that If your line is
situated on the forward slope of n
hill the support trench drains into
the firing-trench; IL they are on the
reverse slope, the firing-trench drains
into the support trench. Our inde-
fatigable friends, The Royal Engi-
neers, labor like heroes; but the ut
most they can achieve, in a low-ly-
ing country like this. is to divert as
much water as possible into some
other Brigade's area. Which they
do, right cunningly."

STILL TRUE TO FORM
TPhiladelphia Ledger. ]

L L i
If any one has any idea that the
Kaiser is not ready to blurt out his
inmost self on the slightest provo
cation, all he has to do Is to read the
latest outburst to the effect that the
German sword will regain for us the
respect of the whole world" That
he is still true to form in his belief
that might makes right, as he is in
living up to the ideas that the old
heather religion of Germany is a
thing to conjure with, by calling
Hindenburg "Wotan" and Luden-
dorff "Siegfried," is made more evil
dent once more. Indeed, it is part o1
the general mania that obsesses him.
For as the world shuddors at the
naked German sword, dripping with
the blood of Belgium and the babes
OF Northern France, this madman
of Potsdam complacently opines that
the sword will make him and his re-
spected. But the delusion is one
which cannot be cured except by the
stern police measures of an outraged
world being carried to their flnality.
'In Belgium, in the spring of this
year" so runs n chronicle, "a train
came from AK to Antwerp bearing
255 returned exiles, 48 hours on the
way, no food on the voyage, with
every one taken from the train on
a stretcher, and on so of the stretch
ers dead men; men who died en-
route, not from 4S hours without
food only, but from three months
experience in German ways in war.
This Is the German way that the in
fatuated Kaiser believes is winning
the respect of the world.

HUNTING BY MACHINERY

~R. WILLIAM r. HORNADAY.
head of the great Bronx Zoo,
~ big and little game authority
and supporter of Pennsylvania
game conservation and supervision
rises TO protest in the name OF true
craftsmanship against hunting by
machinery The doctor has hunted
all over the earth and loves the
call of the quail and the below OF
the elephant. He has stalked and
crawled and lain in wait for all
manner of game. His soul revolts at
the way some people are hunting to-
day in Pennsylvania.
1t is small wonder that the famous
animal authority should do so. He
finds men getting into high powered
automobiles and going a hundred
miles to hunt, then jumping on for
another fifty and when they find
game peppering it with automatic
firearms.
Aside from the depletion of game.
which naturally follows such
methods, one cannot help agreeing
with the eminent faunal naturalist.
Where is the man who does not love
TO recall driving ten miles from the
station, then hiking three miles into
the woods loaded with equipment?
The automobile takes away the JOY
of making camp and cooking and
sleeping in the open. And is stalk
ing a wild turkey or waiting hours
on a deer drive, every sense alert, to
be given up in favor of ripping along
roads in a big car. with an electric
battery ready to heat coffee or even
fry bacon? And then the excitement
OF reloading after a first miss. Does
the automatic compensate for that?
When it is thought over, the Horn
aday position is right once more.
