MEN KNITTING FOR SOLDIERS
Show Remarkable Ability at Clicking
the Long Needles-one an Ex-
pert at Tatting.

The art of knitting has long been
considered exclusively a feminine ac-
complishment. but the theory that man
has not patience or inclination to
spend his leisure hours in clicking the
needles has been exploded In Califor-
mia, where wonders never cease.
A dispatch from Red Bluff, Tehama
county, records that Gorham King,
manager of a department store there,
has almost completed his first knitted
set, consisting Of a sweater, muffer
wristlets and a pair Of socks, for some
soldier in France.
King spent his vacation at Noon
stone Beach, and there he learned to
knit in an effort TO forestall a threat
ened ervou breakdown. His sister
and mother have vouched for his pro-
fciency In the art, and say, besides,
that knitting has cured him of much
of his nervousness. 1t is no uncom-
mon sight, say the natives Of Red
Bluff, TO see him drop his work at the
store and sit down for a "speIl" of
knitting.

bank at Woodland, CAL, Is another
convert. He is said to have won the
plaudits Of the fair ones in that city
since his wife disclosed the fact that
"Will Is the best latter in Woodland"

that the banker has also mastered
that art. Baird is widely known In

WHY RUSSIA WANTS REPUBLIC
Any Other Form Of Government Would
Present Many Difficulties, If
Not impossible.

A last point to which / wish TO call
attention is that from the first hour
OF the revolution the republican idea
made extraordinary progress in the
minds of all classes, writes Captain
y" In Scribner's. l live among Rus
slams and could therefore watch its
growth day by day. Men Of letters
and men Of business merchants, finan-
ciers, lawyers, professors saw them,
one after another, come to the same
way of thinking. For the first weeks
1t seemed impossible to many of a
conservative turn Of mind that there
should be a Russian republic. They
said:
"Our country is not ripe for one.
Think of all the hard experiences
which you French went through before
the republic was really at home in
France, and yet your people are high
ly developed, while ours are not" And
so on. These same men have now
come round, little by little, to the re-
publican idea. One reason is that
any other form Of government would
present many difficulties, If, indeed. II
is not impossible. The RomanOn dy-
nasty is discredited, to say the least;
II is not conceivable that IL should be
reinstated, and there are no other
available aspirants to the throne, even
supposing that the nation wished to
return TO a monarchy.
Anyone who's feels inclined to pro-
nounce judgment upon the Russian
revolution should bear this in mind;
the old regime was so detestable that
any new me even If far from perfect,
cannot be worse. From the military
point of view, which is Of course what
is most interesting to R%ussia's allies,
the former system, or want of 1t, had
so dis~organized the whole country that
1t was becoming more and more diff
cult to carry on the war. 1t is hard
to see how now either the Russians or
we of the allies can suffer by the
change, because what has been thrown
away was absolutely worthless. That
should always be in u minds when
we are inclined to criticize Russia, In
order that we may keep our proper
mental perspective and see things as
they really are.

JOURNALISM THE JAPAN WAY
Sensational News Does Not Meet
With Approval.

To ascertain the tastes of his read
ers with regard to sensational stories,
according to the East and West News
bureau, Motono Eikichchiro, editor of
the Yomiuri, recently "held out" the
story Of the double suicide pact be-
tween the daughter Of Count Yoshi-
kawa, vice president of the privy u
Gil, and her chauffeur, with the re-
suit that the following day he was del
uged with letters from indignant read
ers Of his paper, many of them charg-
ing him with accepting brides from the
Yoshikawa family. Every other news
paper in Tokyo printed the story Amer
lean fashion.
Eikichchiro based his action on a
desire TO protect the public from
scandalous conduct. 1t is said the
young editor Is now convinced Of the
truth Of the saying Of the late Charles
A. Dana that whatever the Almighty
permits to happen is fit to print" To
deny the insinuation that the Yoshi-
kawa family paid him to leave out the
story, he printed: "The Yoshikawa
family at once engaged a press agent
and supplied the paper with complete
details Of the affair.""
He later INDUCED in a long article
about the aims Of a newspaper, adj
hitting that his attitude was a dar-
ing one. He confessed that If he fol-
lowed the advices of the very few
readers who approved his course, "he

Problem for Engine Builders.

The farm tractor engine has been
described as a 80 per cent engine be-
cause 1t Is under load the majority
of it's time. The motor truck engine
might be spoken of as a 40 per cent
one, and the motor car engine as a
Is per cent powerplant, In that it is
rarely IL ever working at full power,
such as the airplane engine Is. Be
cause of this greater load on the air
plane engine, its manufacture is much
more difficult. One engineer has stat
ed that building 100000 airplane en-
gines would be much more difficult
