TRAWELETTE
a Western university.


The state university of the ancient
and honorable commonwealth of New
Mexico has made a violent. and in
large measure d successful, attempt to
achieve distinction and originality
The college buildings are unique
among ali college buildings of the
world, for they stand as faithful
copy of an Indian pueblo.
4 pueblo is a community house to
shelter an entire Indian tribe. The
architecture is peculiar to the state
of New Mexico, where it originated in
pre-Columbian times, and where so
per cent of it is found today, altho a
few Arizona Indians make use of it.
Like all architecture that il the slow
grown produce of a single soil and
long necessity, it blends and harmon
ICES with background and topography
as no exotic growth could ever do.
None the less, when a university is
built that way it is difficult for the
| casual visitor to identify il ss uni
versity at first glance.
The real pueblos of the Indians are
built of sun-dried mud, and they are
many stories high. Access to the up
per stories is gained by means of rude
pole ladders, which can be drawn up
in case of an attack. This contingency
rarely, one might almost say never.
arises in modern university routine.
| None the less, the university provides
the ladders, by way of creating an
. atmosphere of verisimilitude: while
stairways of the conventional type are
| thoughtfully furnished for actual use.
The mud of the primitive pueblo is
replaced by a fine-grained stucco.
which needs less frequent repair. but
the general effect is a remarkably
| faithful production of II e original
model.
| The installation of this architecture
has justified itself by creating a group
| of buildings that is something more
than an architectural curiosity. The
| square, squat, flat-topped gray struc-
lures look westward across ribbon
of green valley to a sweep of tawny
plain and purple bad lands, eastward
over dun mesa to blue mountains, up
ward to a dazzling, fleckless sky; and
they blend with the raw immensely
and the glare of that environment as
only an architecture born of the soil
could hope to do.

RAILROADS DO THEIR BIT.

over $4,000 pounds of meat. cost
ing about $25O.OOO. are being saved
annually for our soldiers and sailors
and the fighting men of our allies by
not serving meat on Tuesdays in rail-
road dining cars and restaurants. This
estimate is based on the reports made
by forty-one railroads. covering prac-
tically the whole country.
"Meatless Tuesdays" and wheat
less Wednesdays" are being strictly
observed now on every railroad, it is
said, and will be while the war lasts.
The only exception possible will be
the serving of meat on Tuesday to
troops in transit. The question of
whether that shall be done has been
referred by the dining car superin-
tendents to the federal food admin
istration.
Some railroads have eliminated
roast beef from their bills of fare and
are serving steaks or beef only at the
evening meal. Others will continue
for an indefinite time TO serve meat
in some form three times a day
All lines report that the travelling
public has evinced hearty sympathy
with the policy of the railroads to con-
serve meat and wheat in the dining
car service.

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

David Lloyd George, British pre-
mier, stands pat on his Paris speech.
says it was premeditated. in fact, and
it now looks as tho his own country
and the allies as well are in agreement
with him. The layInan in this coun-
try. and probably in other countries
as well, has felt that there was some
thing wrong in the conduct of the war.
He could not fail to observe that there
was a lack of that unanimity of action
necessary to success. The fire of the
allies has been too much scattered. In
this connection the view of The New
Republic in interesting. 1t follows;
The allies have not been able to con-
centrate their armed forces on the all
important object of annihilating Ger
man military power, because. they
cherished different and in some re-
spects divergent opinions as to the po-
litica1 objects for which a general vic
tory should be used. Divergent polit-
ical objects are not merely a source of
danger. because they impair the inter
nal unity of different members of the
alliance, but because they have pre-
vented the adoption of a common mill
itary policy and of a centralized mill
tary control. The joint military object
of defeating the German army has
been subordinated to the special po-
litical object of occupying coveted ter
ritory, and not until these special po-
litical objects have been subordinated
to the attainment of political objects
which all the allies share in common
will a political condition be brought
into existence favorable to the effec-
tive and triumphant cooperation of
the allied armies.
In justification of this view may be
cited the fact that England has main
tanned two separate armies of consid-
cradle size in Asia, a pointed case of
looking out for No. l. AS another
instance might be cited the keeping
of an immense army in complete idle
ness in Macedonia. Then there is the
case of Italy, which has been left to
work out her own salvation, unaided,
until she now faces humiliation.

WHERE WAR MAY HELP.

One of the beneficial results of the
war may be the greatly stimulated de-
velopment of our natural resources,
especially those in the public domain.
Protective legislation that congress
has enacted from time to time, and
litigation that has arisen in the ap-
plcation of the land laws, have caused
needless delay in making available
the immense mineral wealth contained
on public lands. A measure that is in
tended to cut the red tape in such
matters, and greatly increase the pro-
duction of coal, oil, etc, is now pend
ing on the calendar of the senate,
ready to be taken up for action when
congress meets on December 8.
In spite of the hugely increased de-
mand on account of the war, the pro-
duction of gasoline and other oils was
$500. 900 barrels less this year than
in 1916. One of the contributing
causes of the decrease has been the
long continued suits in connection
with what is known as Naval Oil Re-
serve No. 2, situated in California
That reserve comprises about 1000
acres of oil land that were withdrawn
from entry by President Taft, and dis
putes have arisen involving the title of
the government and that of many
prospectors who were working their
| claims on the reserve at the time the
withdrawal was made. The land is
estimated TO contain 800, 900. 900 bar
rels OF oil, which has scarcely been
touched. Under the pending bill a
method is provided whereby the sec
rotary of the interior can settle the
litigation and make the immense res
ervoir of oil immediately available for
the public use.
The bill also is aimed to relieve the
coal situation. The government is
proprietor of over $4,000. 900 acres of
land known to contain coal, and the
committee urges that the develop
ment of that huge area by several
thousand Independent coal operators
will greatly relieve the present short
age. Not only will the supply be in
creased, but, as the public coal lands
are located in fourteen different
states, the transportation problem will
! be relieved also by the larger local
production.
Similar measures have passed the
house of representatives twice, and
the senate once. in previous con-
crosses. but heretofore they have al
ways failed of final enactment. In
face of the fact that the successful
conduct of the war is absolutely de-
pendent on an Immediately increased
production of oil a compromise I'M
derstanding has been reached. and
the early passage of the measure is
] anticipated.

THE SOUL OLE GERMANY.

The soul of Germany How fair it shone
Once in the eyes of all the world
Soaring in upward flight to sunlit heights.
Its glancing pinious wide unfurled.
The soul of Germany was Wagner. Bach
Was MoSIrt singing to the stars,
Was Goethe opening vistas bright with
dreams,
Was Schiller letting down the dayspring's
Was Heine calling thru the paling night
Or Glueks or great Beethoven's wonder
touch
sonorous in the universal hush
These are their KINDRED Genii were the
soul
OF Germany before there fell
Upon her that fierce Hohenzoflern blight
With lust of power and all it's scorch of
hell
Her soul before her war crazed men forgot
The heights for which her science"
stood
Her soul before her unshamed woman went
"Conscript" to unwed motherhood.
But now, where schumann sang the despot
rules,
Sordid with hate the land that Handel
knew
The soul of Germany takes far its flight
And vultures wheel where once it's radi-
ance flew

does. Worry is distinctly a war prob
lem.
War does away, so the experience of
Europe shows, with a goodly part of
the groundless and slenderly rooted
worries that characterize super civili-
cation. Hypochondria, melancholia,
all the morbid results of too much in
trospection, are dissipated by the
touch of the grim realities of war.
The old saying of the medieval physi-
sian that melancholy humors are
nightly helped by a dead mans
touch was based on the same law
But If a war does away with a GER
tain class of worries, it brings a train
of new ones.
For example, there is the worry of
those who have loved ones in the
army, the worry of those who see
their livelihood or their investments
1mperiled, the worry of the man who
holds responsible position or of the
one who looks forward to service in
time of grinmer need, and has the
tate of his dependents to consider.
70 all these worries, Americans are
more prone than any other nation.
The machinelike discipline of the Ger
mans, the burning patriotism of the
french that was lzindled by an actual
violation of their soil the character
factors initiating against undue wor-
ry. America has always been the
home of worry anyway
Worry saps national efficiency. It
is a duty to put it aside. Most of it
is grouHdless. The United States pub
lie. health service compares the man
who worries to the chauffeur who lets
his engine run on uetral all the time
the car is standing still. Says the
public health service, mot all worry
is preventable. but for the most part
it can be avoided. Most of our fears
are never realized. Worry under
mines the health to a certain extent.
1t really weakens the mental forces
by firing them out while doing moth
ing. Usually the relief from worry
rests with the victim of the unfortu-
nate habit himself
Since almost every American is
more or less a victim of the unfor-
tunate habit" the last phrase is worth
bordering.

ject upon which the reader desires in

Tremendous changes are taking
place in this country in industry,
trade and transportation. Finance
was the first division to be modified
ON war basis; next came transport
tation; then came industry, and now
il is the merchant and distributor that
must coordinate and place the coun-
try before self The government has
already imposed it's strong hand over
all of these industries and is more
likely to extend its grip than to limit
it. Very soon the consumer will also
be obliged to submit to regulation.
quite probably the farmer, who has
thus far been exempt, will be obliged
10 make some sacrifice, says Henry
.Clews in his Financial Review, and
the circle will not be complete until
labor has more fully recognized the
country's needs and refrains from
pressing its claims at time when the
nation is under abnormal strain.

The number of untitled acquisitions
for freight cars, after having largely
declined between May 1 and Septem-

of traffic. showed an increase on Oc-
tober l and a further increase on No

why the railways are having such
great difficulty in handling all The
traffic is that there has been an enor-
nous increase in its volume, and that
this still continues. Statistics which
have Just become available show that

months after the entrance of the
United States into the great war-our
