Till the Plumber Comes.

If often becomes necessary to stop q
leak in a water pipe when plumbers
services cannot Immediately be OBJ
tanned. Pipes have a habit of spring
ing a leak at the most inconvenient
times. To persons who may find
themselves in this predicament a sug-
gestion sent to Popular Mechanics by
]. w. Cox of Florence, Ala, should
prove valuable:
A piece of sheet rubber was placed
over the leak and wooden block was
fitted over it, the inner surface being
curved to fit the pipe. The block and
rubber packing were clamped against
the pipe by means of stick, notched
to fit against the pipe and held by a
twisted wire, block being used to
wedge the packing and cover block
firmly into place. The repair was wa
tertight and saved much inconvenience
and probably considerable damage.

Women of Ancient Babylon.

To some extent womens rights were
recognized In Babylon. Indeed, in
some respects, they were acknowledged
as mems equals. phey entered into
business partnerships, they could lend
and borrow, they could bequeath their
property without let or hindrance. In
the great temples of Babylon, the
priests and priestesses stood on the
same level. The marriage laws of the
Babylonans gave the advantage to the
men. Not only fathers, but also broth
ers, sold their women into marriage.
Often, though not always, brides were
required to bring their husbands dow
ries. But the property she possessed
remained her own. And this was five
and twenty centuries ago.

Mistletoe.

In ancient times .garlands and bou-
quets of the mistletoe were hung in
taverns and doorways to ward off evil,
and by many worn as an amulet at
tracing good influences. This aver
sion doubtless sprang from Christian
prejudice against plant deemed So
cred by the pagans, a legend of the
monks holding that the mistletoe Dough
was cursed and never again permitted
to grow as an Independent growth,
since it had been the tree from which
was fashioned the cross of the cru
cifixion. In the West Of England mis-
tletoe is not allowed to enter into
church decorations.

Consideration of Aliens.

The Council of National Defense has
Issued an appeal to the people OF the
United States to show every considera-
tion in the present international Sit
uatiop to aliens resident in this coun-
try.
'erhe United States" says the
statement, "for many generations has
been the shelter of the oppressed OF
the world and OF those who would be-
come one with spirit of the republic.
It is the crucible of the nations. Many
Of those who have come to us are now
citizens. Many are not. 1t is with
the latter that we are chiefly concern
ed.
"The presence here at this time of
perhaps 100000 aliens is deeply and
sooerly to be- weighed, not only in our
own interests, but in their own. For
so long space as they are lawful
dwelers within this country they are
entitled TO the generous consideration
Of the people and the government of
the United States.
Emp hasizing anew our national
doctrines OF tolerance and personal Ii
berty, OF holding all persons within the
land to be loyal unless by their own
acts they shall prove the contrary, we
call upon all citizens, II untoward
events should come upon us, to pre-.
sent to these aliens, many of
whom tomorrow will be Americans
the attitude OF neither suspicion nor
aggressiveness.
"We urge on all Americans to meet
these millions OF foreign born with un
changed manner and with unparalleled
mind. Any other course is unworthy
Of our traditions and against public
policy and the free flow of government
al affairs"
The act creating the council OF ma
tional defense charges the council in
times OF stress TO promote good will
within the countrys borders and to
make every effort to conserve the ma
tional unity

THURSDAY. MARCH 5 1917

General Carranza may not be the
wisest statesman in the world, but 1t
would be hard to believe that he is
fool enough to become Germany's cats
paw against this country. Secretary
Lansing has publicly stated that the
United States government does not now
believe thai either Mexico or Japan
fell in with the German government
offer Of an alliance against this
country, and unless and until evidence
TO the contrary is forthcoming it is on
" fair to Mexico and Japan TO assume
that the German overtures are not en-
couraged.
An offensive alliance OF the three
countries mentioned against the Unltecs
States would, of course, be a very ser
ious matter if they were in the position
to act iu concert just now. But Ger
many at present could do nothing
against us except furnish money and
perhaps some officers to Mexico, and
possibly harass our coasts to some ex'
tent with her U-boats. Japan may
harbor resentment against us for the
anti-Japanese legislation OF some OF
b the Western states, but that would
hardly be a strong enough motive 10
induce her to run the risks involved in
treachery to her present allies. HaV-
ing resisted German intrigue for a cou-
pie OF years past, there is no reason TO
expect her TO succumb to IL now, and
II she did she would find it practically
impossible to transport troops to the
mainland of the United States. Her
only chance to strike at us would be ID
the Philippines.
Mexico, therefore, would have to
bear the brunt OF any present hghtlng
between us and an alliance such as
Germany has sought. Under the com
mand OF German officers and financed
by German gold, Mexico no doubt
would be no insignificant antagonist,
but it is not likely that Carranza is
dreamer enough TO regard the conquest
of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
the bait held out TO him by the gener-
GUS Germans--as feasible with the
sort OF support he would have to be
content with.
Asa presnt menace, therefore, the
proposed German~Japanese- Mexican
alliance againt the United States need
not keep us awake at nights. But the
German proposition may have in it the
seed OF future war. Neither Ger.
many, Japan nor Mexico are bursting
with love for us, no matter what their
present protestatlons OF friendship may
be. The present war will not last for
ever, and ii will not do TO place too
much dependence upon the hope that
future wars may be sverted. IL will be
well enough for Us OF the United States
10 regard the German.Japanese. Mexi.
can alliance as a potential danger,
though II be frustrated for the pre-
sent. We shall invite such an often
sive alliance If we remain unprepared
70 resist *. We need not fear it If we
are prepared to meet il.

The nOut at Lunehn Habit.

"Out to lunch" we can hear every
where, every day, when visiting bust
ness place during the noon hour, which
generally extends from eleven to two
O'Clock, and sometimes longer when
one occupies the better-paid plane of

is the main purpose In life and that

Our relations with Germany have
got beyond the point where adverse
criticism of the course OF the United
States government by any of its citi-
zens is seemly or excusable. AS be-
tween the President and the Kaiser
there is only one place for loyal Ameri-
cans to stand. There is no twilight
zone Of patriotism. He who does not
support the government Of the United
States in the present crisis is giving
aid and comfort to its enemy, and that
is treason. Calling it pacitism does
not make it any the less odious.
