War and Whiskers.

FROM the Columbus Dispatch.
S what style Of whiskers the pres
war is going to develop remains to
be seen. but it is certain that some
style will come out of it. 1t always has
happened.
The conspicuous instance is
thai OF the long mustache. In the Cri-
mean war the cavalrymen began allow
ing their mustaches to grow to great
length. The infantrymen were forbid
den to wear any kind of mustache:
they were required to shave the upper
lip. The cavalry performed many dar-
ing feats and the civilian is always
quick to adopt something to cause peo-
pie to believe him daring. SO civilians
began growing long mustaches so they
would be taken for hussars.
There is no distinguishing style of
wearing the beard or mustache at this
time. Tha is, no branch of the service
has adopted any particular style. 1t may
be that later on h short, stubby mus
tache will come to be Worn by the arr
tillery, or the eyebrow effect by the
aviation corps, or the goatee by the

Greyhounds Fastest Creatures,

FROM tNe SpVlnSUSIn republican.
Comparatively few people realize of
what remarkable speed dogs are cana
BILE. The wolf can run between so and
60 miles in one night. and the Arctic
fox a do quite as we'll. if not better.
NanseE met n of these foxes on the
ice at a point more than 20 miles north
west of the Sannikow territory, which
is 4S0 miles from the Asiatic coast.
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel
As miles on the ice in five hours, and
there is n case OF record in which a
team OF Eskimo dogs travelled six and
one-half miles in IS minutes.
English settlers and pointers hunt at
the rate of Is to 10 miles an hour, and
they can maintain the speed for at least
two hours. FoXhounds are extraordi-
narily swift, as is proved by the fact
that a dog OF this breed once beat a
thoroughbred horse. covering four miles
in six and one-half minutes.
Greyhounds are the swiftest of all
four-foOted creatures. and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that OF
carrier pigeons. English gr%eyhounds
which are carefully selected and which
are used for coursing are able to cover
at full gallop a space between 1S and %
yards every second.
1t Is said that a hare at it's greatest
speed eve goes faster than at the
rate OF Is yards a second. These inter-
esting statistics fully prove the right Of
the greyhound to rank as the sTtftest
Of the Q~uadrupeds.

Horse a War Factor.

From the National Humane Review.
There are $500, 900 horses engaged in
this war. On the western front the
losses have averaged 1900 horses a
month. In eight hours fighting along
a three-mile front al Nerdun the
French lost SOIL horses.
More than 1900, 900 of Americas
horses AVE been purchased for serv-
ice with the allies. In the first seven
months of 1917 the value of horses
shipped to Europe from American ports
was $25,327 1913. For the month of July
alone the value vas $1,317.202. Vast.
age of horses means an enormous
money loss, which mere money cannot
now replace. Thirty-three thousand
horses have died in America while
awaiting shipment and 6.0o0 have died
at sea i'm course of transit.
In nine weeks the British captured
1892 German field and heavy guns and
lost none. The German losses are
partly due to lack of horses.
America. with am army of 2.30O. 900
mon, will require 100000 horses to be-
gin with. and shipload after shipload.
to keep the force up to the strength
The total need will exceed 1000, 900 a
year under fighting conditions, and
may even be vastly greater.

such a pig in a vague way and Gold

NEED FOR GOOD FITTING SHOES.

An axiom frequently attributed to
Napoleon was to the effect that an
army Travelled 81 its stomach. Surgeon
Jones. OF the United States army, says
that. while that statement was true in
olden times. 1t is not true now. Armies
travel now upon their feet, he says. In
olden times the limitation of an army
lay in its difficulty in getting a food
supply. Now the machinery for provi-
slonlng an army is so we'll organized
that the commanding general is not
stopped by the limitations of his food
supply. But he knows that he nj

Will give out.

Prohibition shall be written into the

people.

WHY iowa VOTES
ON PROHIBITION
Drys Plan to Make Dry Program
Permanent After Fifty Years
Of Agitation.

The project to make prohibition the
permanent policy of Iowa by adopt
ing the constitutional amendment on
October Is is the fruitage of more
than half century of disturbing agi-
tatioh in this state. There is prob
ably no doubt but that the sentiment
of the state is Overwhelmingly in fay-
or of prohibition and the time is con-
sidered opportune by the drys to es-
tablish this policy as the settled pro-
gram, thus taking the question out Of
state politics.
lowa's First Dry Law.
Iowa first enacted statutory prohibit
ton in 1865, but the developing issues
of the Civil war became so acute that
the measure was repealed three
years later. The people were abb
sorbed in the national issues and for
got about the liquor question. but
the liquor dealers didn't forget and
successfully plotted for prohibitions
repeal.
In 1882 Iowa adopted constitu-
tional dry amendment, but by bum
gle of the engrossing clerk Of the SEN
ate, in which several vitality important
words were omitted from the bill, the
amendment never became effective.
The supreme court of the, state held by
q majority opinion that the error in
leaving out vital words was fatal.
Next Came the MuIct Law.
Two years afterwards, in 1884, the
legislature again enacted a, statutory
prohibition law which continued in
effect for ten years. BY the concerted
aid Of outside liquor interests, the
law met with many troubles in en-
forcement and this resulted in vic
tory for the liquor interests in the en-
actment of the Muct law, in 1894.
The Mulct law resulted in a multi
tude of scandals as the liquor inter
ests were no more disposed to obey
their own law than they were to obey
the old prohibition law. This situa-
. ton led to the act Of the legislature in
1915 in repeating the Mulct law which
had the effect of restoring the old pro-
hibition statute of 1854
Under this new regime, the prohibit
ton law has been generally we'll en-
forced and has brought such satisfac-
tory results that there is strong sup
port to the program of taking the
whole question out of yearly political
contention by making the dry pro-
gram the permanent policy of the,
state This can only be done by adopt
ing the constitutional amendment at
the special election to be held in Oc-
tober.
