CONSISTENT INCONSISTENCY.

Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, an
opponent of prohibition, voted for the
submission to the states of the prohi-
bition amendment to the federal con-
stitution. La Follette's Magazine ex-
plains the senator's apparent incon-
sistency thus:
Senator La Toilette said that while
he was opposed to prohibition he rec
ognized the right of the people to set
tie all questions by the referendum.
and for that reason lie voted for the
resolution"
The action proclaims the Wisconsin
senator loyal to the principles OF true
American democracy and we, the peo-
pie, commend it to every senator and
representative in congress.

Wireless Air Raid WARNING.

The London Daily Chronicle reports
that Mr.. Thorp Hincks has devised APP
paratus for giving warning Of impend-

pecially applicable to factories and
public buildings. An electric resona-
tor Is placed on the roof, and on the
sound of given pitch being produced,
the resonator causes bell to ring in
the building until it is stopped. 1t Is
said that large areas, such for instance
as the whole Of city, can be simulta-

According to a dispatch from Co
penhagen, Alexander Foss. head OF the
Danish export and import control or
ganization. stated In an address be-
fer the Industrial congress which was
recently In session mt the Danish cap
ital that members OF the Danish trade
and industry should adjust themselves
to war conditions, which might last
years, II being unwise to count on a
speedy termination of the war. I'm
der the former principle. whereby

the war years Of 1914, 1915 and 1915
mark. America, which he declared
had been forced into the war by tire
German submarine campaign, had now
adopted another principle regarding
exports. 1t was "First for ourselves
and our allies, then for neutrals and
nothing to the enemy" Denmark, the
speaker contended. no longer could
count on imports Of grain and fodder.
and II was doubtful whether this coun-
try could receive various American
products upon which the Danish In
dustrial life was dependent, as the
submarine was interfering seriously
with the supply of fuel. The solution.
he continued. was for industry to
learn to help itself and to build up a
Scandinavian interchange of raw ma
terials and products. Attention must
be directed to providing home pr0duc-
Ing substitutes. Mr.. Foss suggested
that agriculturists turn their atten-
tion to the production Of oil seed crops
to replace imported oil cake and fod-
der. Business interests already were
doing their part. he said, by endeavor-
Ing to secure the importation OF the
most important wares arst.
A Copenhagen soldier had both bad
and good luck the other day. He
took a ride on his wheel In the coun-
try, but on his way back he broke
his wheel going down hill. He
picked up the parts and started again.
Just then a man came driving past
him. Being asked In kind, sympa-
thetic voice II he would ride, the SOL
der stepped into the little one-horse
wagon. The driver was anxious to
see that every part Of the bicycle got
into the wagon. "How far are you go
ingT asked the driver. ITO Copen-
hagen" II am really going only to
Sorgenfri. but I may as well take you
to Lyngby station" When they came
to the station the driver said: "Now
l must hurry up to get home. for my
supper Is waiting for me in the pal
ace" The driver was the king OF
Denmark.

MUSIC NEED OF FIGHTING MEN
BIare Of Band instruments Brings
Cheer to Troops and Is Just as
Necessary as Ammunition.

"The blare Of the trombone, the
shrill note Of the piccolo and the
drums blending with other band in
struments In military organization
give cheer to the men with the guns
and is just as necessary as ammunl-
tion," says Charles III. Parsons of New
York. During the Spanish-America
war the tunes happily accepted were
those Of the vaudeville stage, when
'There1l Be Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight was said to have led
troops to the capture Of San Juan hill.
The old Civil war melodies having the
swing of march cadence were first of
all, Dixie probably used, at least
hummlngly, by the soldiers Of the
North, as those who followed the
Stars and Bars And It is worth while
to recall that Dixie was the most
popular of all the melodies strummed
in camp and sung In action Of oil the
old-t4me songs during the war Of 1898.
Canned music will give to the boys
at the front much of their entertain
ment evenings to come" added Mr..
Parsons. "The Photographic records

Will have programs provided by the
stars Of the operate world and other
