ROMANCE OF CHEMISTRY.

In the sense of marvels chemistry
has ever been the science Of ro-
nance from the days of the alchem'
lists, with their mysterious laborato-
ries and alembics and stills where
popular opinion credited them with
dealing with the evil one. And while
today the romance is that Of great or
unique achievements by which man
penetrates into the uttermost secrets
of matter and weighs the unweigh-
able and does not hesitate to beat ma
ture in her own syntheses and pro-
cesses-as when indigo is manufac-
tured or the very perfumes Of the
roses and violet are developed from
foul substances-at the same time the
romance is there, says Philadelphia
Ledger. AS the visitor to the New
York chemical exhibit uses glass so
tough and resistant to fire that it could
be used to cook with, one recalls the
malleable glass Of the ancients and
realizes that modern chemistry and
metallurgy, and especially electrochem-
lstry, If they have not found the 'philos-
opher's stone" which is the solvent
Of all things, have at least made the
so-called 'lost arts" of the classic ages
of small account in the face of the
tremendous achievements Of the pres
ent. Moreover, peculiar interest at
taches to all that is being done these
days, since the air is quick with the
rumors of greater discoveries. If ma
ture still resists the experimenters her
power to hide her facts grows less
year by year, and we are ever on the
verge of marvels which become the
commonplaces Of everyday laboratory
practice.

THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1917

Great quantities of oil appeared on
the water on the east coast Of Scot
land during the summer in the most
mysterious manner, and had disas-
trous effect on the waterfowl of the
affected section. One investigator
found at Kngsbarns the rocks COW
ered with a thick, brown oil, some
seven inches deep in the cavities.
Dead birds were lying all along high
water mark, and large numbers in a
dazed condition and with their feath-
ers matted together with oil were
sitting about. Some elders were also
found in similar pitiable plight. The
keeper of the isle of May lighthouse
found birds similarly coated on the
rocks, and unable either to fly or
swim. Large sheets of oil drifted to
the island, and all the creeks on the
east side were full of it. In all these
cases the birds were unable either to
fly or dive, and hence died Of starva'
tion. So far no explanation Of this
floating oil has come to hand. Prob.
ably is escaped from a torpedoed ship
bearing cargo of lubricating oil.

THE BEST TEST
Is the Test of Time.

Years ago this Perrysburg resident
told of good results from using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Now Capt. T. Inman,
of Fifth and Elms Sts.. confirms the
former statement-says there has
been no return of the trouble. Can
Perrysburg people ask for more con-
vincing testimony?
Capt. Inman says: 81 suffered con-
stantly with dull throbbing ache over
my kidneys and pains through my
loins. My kidneys acted irregularly
and too freely. Nothing helped me
until used Doan's Kidney Pills. After
started taking Doan's my health
greatly improved until all traces of
kidney trouble disappeared. l have
had no return of it since" (Statement
given September 80, 1919.
Permanent Cure.
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, or
on March 9, 1917, Capt. Inman said:
81 haven't had occasion to use kidney
medicine since Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me so have the same faith in
them had six years ago."

POETS NEGLECT SAILORS

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger.
Sir-Philadelpha, with its noble tradi-
tions Of country-love, has a chance now
to renew those traditions, not only through
the service of its young sons on
the battlefield, but through the literary
craft of Its stay-at-homes We have pro-
duced many literary men in this city. Some
Of their work-George Boxers, for example
has lived, and will continue to live, be.
cause Of the mastery of style and the power
of sentiment that inform it. Boxers "Dirge
for a Soldier Is one of the fine things in
letters that celebrate the life and death Of
the warrior. Other examples of this en-
tirely proper pride In one fighting man
could be plucked from the anthologies.
But Philadelphia, like most of the United
States dixie, indeed. most of the world, has
been very one-sided in the matter. Why
have we no navy poet, one who would give
that arm Of service it's due in swinging,
singing lines-lnes easily remembered, fit
ted for a musical setting? The whole tend
ency Of the present war has been to glorify
the man In the trench. His blue brother Of
the ocean has been virtually forgotten.
Even Sir Henry Newbolt, unofficial laureate
Of the British navy, has let many obvious
chances slip by.
Is there no versifier in our city who will
write stirring stanzas about the "gobbes, &"
surely as deserving in their different way as
their fellows in khaki? Or is the explana-
ton Of this phenomenon the fact that sail
ors make up their own songs, or adapt
them? At any rate, some such clever writer
as T. A. Daily ought to be able to turn
out a splendid poem about the unfairly
| neglected bluejackets.

WAR NATURALIZES ALIENS

WHETHER aliens should or should not
w be conscripted is a question to be de.
cided by the law of necessity and not
by sentimental notions about what they
owe to America. II we had an unlimited
food supply we might leave friendly
aliens entirely to their own devices. But
our food supply, in view of our RESPONSE
bilities to our allies, Is terribly limited,
and every alien mouth that eats should
also be made to explain why it eats here,
in country at war instead of in Norway
or in Brazil or wherever its owner came
from.
Aliens who have in peace looked upon
America as their permanent home virtu-
ally assume all the responsibilities of
citizenship the moment war is declared,
unless they are prepared to plan return
to their homes. This was the view of
the thousands Of American tourists in
France and England in August 1914.
Some wanted to stay out of curiosity, but
the invariable advice they got from the
more thoughtful was: IF you can't help,
don't hinder. These people need all the
food and other necessities they can com.
mand. They can spare nothing for
aliens"

"SING AND FIGHT"

Plattsburg recruits have learned a new
slogan. 1t is Sing and fight" General
Bell one Of the officers at the head of the
training corps, made an address before
the men gathered there. emphasizing the
seriousness of the work undertaken by them.
During the course of the talk he made the
following statements:
"A soldier must think only of his duty
and must do 1t in way that all who sur
vive him will be proud of the way he gave
up his life. You know whom we are going
to fight. German soldiers sing while they
march. want you to see that our army
beats them at their own game, for singing
men are fighting men.
From you will be selected part of the
first 10000 officers, and want you to take
1t upon yourselves as duty to see that
every company Of our army has marching
tune. and that the men learn to sing II.
You don't know how much further men can
march when they sing. Any rousinR air
will do. "A Hot Time In the Old Town To.
night has a swing to 1t that will put ginger
and courage In the hearts of men. Go n
It.. Sing and fightl"

A DEPLORABLE VETO

THE proposal to revive the Nautical
School was enthusiastically indorsed by
all organizations in Philadelphia that
knew anything about the subject. The
Legislature promptly voted the necessary
sums. City Councils would have appro-
priated the city's share of the money
early in the fall. The Chamber of Com.
merce has appointed a committee to go
to Washington and consult with the Gov
ernment as to the best method of pre-
pairing a personnel to handle the new
merchant ships. The State has appro-
priated millions for the common defense.
Nevertheless the Governor has vetoed
the appropriation for the Nautical School.
1t is the one big concrete thing to be
contributed Immediately by the Common
wealth and Philadelphia to the prosecu.
ton Of the war, but the Governor cannot
see his way clear to spending the money.
He has been guilty of a grevous error
and every effort must be made to rectify
1t. We do not know that 1t will be pos
sible to divert any of the general de-
Tense fund to the Nautical School ac-
count, but we are hopeful that some
means to go ahead will be found The
proper legislation is on the books. Pos.
sibly committee of citizens, or one
citizen, would be glad to underwrte the
proposition and contribute the $50 1000
which the Governor feels the State itself
cannot afford

HOME-DEFENSE MEN NEED ARMS
To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir--As member of the Philadelphia
Home Defense Reserve, I want to draw
your attention to the fact that an article
in your valuable paper, printed on July 21,
describes the experience of the writer.
On Friday, July 20, while returning from
the Pennsylvania Barge Club to my home,
1911 North Logan Square, on a Callowhil
street car, / saw an officer Of the police
force being badly beaten up by a crowd Of
men. / asked both the motorman and con-
ductor of the car to come with me to the
aid of the officer, but they both refused
to help. / asked several men who were
sume) to help rescue the officer. but none
would help. several of the men saying,
They are bad gang to tackle"
Seeing the officer was on his back in a
helpless condition, with his head and face
covered with blood, singled out one of
the men whom saw deliberately kick the
officer on the head, and struck him on his
head with my walking cane, which un-
fortunately was broken in contact. The
blow had the desired effect, as the man ran
off and the other men left the prostrated
officer to attack me. For few minutes
II was rough house." but an officer had
been saved
/ have been badly cut In the mouth
biffed behind the ear. hit with brick in
the back (Which a bystander said was
thrown at my head by one of the gang) and
have bruises received by a bootjack or q
club that make 1t difficult for me to walk.
My reason for reclting this story at
length is that l want to ask the co-opera
tion of your valuable paper to impress the
proper authorities to see that the volun
teer citizen be so armed that he car
at least take care of himself while assist.
