MIGHT BE SAFER.

Speaking at a dinner some time
since, former Gov. Benton McMil-
lin, of Tennessee. referred to the
Importance OF precaution. and 1T
tingly related the following story:
One night a travelling salesman
stopped at a hotel in a remote
country town. and just as he was
unpacking his grip the landlord
CHANGED to pass the door of his
room
What in the world is that
thing?" asked mine host wonder
ingly as he paused in the doorway
and glanced at a rope the salesman
had just laid at the foot Of the bed.
That Is a fire escape" explained
the salesman. II always carry one
with me so that I can let myself
down from the window in case a
blaze suddenly breaks out"
'Um." thoughtfully returned the
landlord. that's not a bad idea,
but guests with their own fire
escape always pay in advance

capture abundant resources from the
ineXhaustible, but hitherto unused,
resources of nature. There Is likely
to be some reference to the early eX-
haustion OF the worlds supply of oil,
and also to the inevitable exhaustion
sooner or later of the worlds supply
of coal, in the hope that the way may
be discovered by which natures in
exhaustible resources may be so util-
lied as to make good the extermina-
ton of eXhaustible resources
One OF the greatest achievements Of
electrical chemistry, whereby an
ample supply of nitrogen can be Sc
cured through the capture of it from
the atmosphere, was most impress
siVely alluded to by DR.. Acheson in
a recent conversation. Men of science
who have been making researches
with the aid of chemistry, discovered
methods by which the nitrogen that
is in the atmosphere may be cap
tured and made commercially avail
able. This industry has already been
established in Norway, and our own
government is about to establish a
great nitrogen plant in this country
with water power as the basic en-
tl ~ AN" gSdA oSNs NLS app
hension was great that the saltpeter
fields of Chile, which have been the
worlds great source of nitrogen in
commercial form. would be exhaust
ed. What would happen to the
world industries were Chile to say:
I'VE no longer have saltpeter. for
the world has taken all that we
possessed?" DR.. Acheson says that,
in the atmosphere over three acres
of land. there is as much nitrogen
as is equivalent to years export
of the nitrates from the Chilean
mines. The atmosphere. therefore,
provides an inexhaustible supply of
one of the most important of the
commodities needed for the worlds
industries. DR.. Acheson also said
that we have another inexhaustible
resource in our waterpower, which
science has shown us how at low
cost to convert into electric energy.
These are subjects which have
been considered by the American
chemists. and the results following
their meeting of this week will be
of special value to the United States
in this time OF war. HOLLAND.

NO PLACE FOR BILL.

They were speaking of food con-
servation in the lobby of a WASH
ington hotel the other evening when
Senator Porter ]. McCumber, of
North Dakota, was reminded of an
incident along that line.
Some time ago two men ram
bled into a town in the West where
a woman was giving talk on
economical cooking.
And now" said the woman, after
discoursing on BUTTERFLIES cakes and
eggless buildings. 81 will tell you
about a splendid soup that can be
made for next to nothing. Take
the. bones left over from your Sun
day dinner"
At this moment one of the men
arose with wearied expression
and turned to his companion.
Come on. jake" he said, this
amt no place for u.s."
What's wrong, Bill?" responded
the other with a questioning eX-
preston. Don't you like soup?"
Yes, 1 like it well enough
answered Bill. but how many
bones does she think there is in a
half-pound of liver?"-Philadelp

The Second Liberty Loan.

The eloquence of American financial
power is to be found in Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo's announcement
Of the new war loan.
Three billions are called for from
the American people. II Is. in these
days Of billions pyramided on billions,
an easy amount" 1t leads Mr.. Me-
Adoo with his usual dash and con-
idence to say:
81 confidently hope that when the
campaign is over, it will be found
that the total number of subscribers
Is at least 100000 and the total
subscriptions in excess of 5000, O0O, 900.
Such a response would be notice to
our enemies that the American people
their power their government in the
vigorous prosecution of this war and
the achievement of an early and a
lasting peace"
1t may well give Germany pause.
The German government is on a
paper basis; its money represents
nothing but the fiat of Potsdam. 1t
is sustained purely by the confidence
Of German peace" a peace which
will mean huge indemnities, huge ter
ritorial acquisitions. Paper has been
I pyramided on paper; the whole
structure is so utterly fantastic, so
utterly impossible from the point OF
view of sound finance and economics,
that it may well be counted as the
browning achievement of folly OF an
autocracy which, in its magnificent
will to world power, has defed, sur
mounted, and almost superseded all
the laws on which modern civilization
is based. It is soon to face the PEN
atty of its folly and its crime-but
that is another story.
Contrast this insane finance with
the story now being written by the
United States Treasury. Bonds are
being issued calmly. conservatively, in
amounts which, comparatively speak
ing, are so small as barely to scratch
the surface of the resources Of the
country. They draw so little money
from the normal business of the
country that they will scarcely be
noticed.
But this is not the most remarkable
part of the story. The United States
is going to spend upward of $1,000
10000 in its first year of war-includ-
ing loans to its allies-and of this
colossal sum more than 20 per cent,
perhaps as high as 25 per cent, is going
to be derived from current taxation.
No other belligerent has even dream
ed Of such an achievement For none
of them would ii be remotely possible.
Great Britain is putting the burden
Of her war costs on future genera
tons France, without the most lib
eral financial aid from England and
the United States, would have been
PROSTATE under the Prussian heel
long before this, the fourth year OF
war.
The new bond is a most attractive
investment. Let the German people
watch the way it is absorbed by the
citizenry of this republic, which Is
building a war machine, in the words
OF Lord Northcliffe. ''unequaled in
the worlds history"

The WOODLAND.

II you would love the woodland, 1t
Must be a living thing to you
A comrade at whose feet you sit
And look together at the blue.
You must love sun as flowers do
The god Of day-the kiss Of rain
Must be as healing sweet to you
As to the daisy on the plain.
You must go faring without fear
The woodland wild. however far
In some new path a pioneer,
And for your compass but a star.
You must lie down with door ajal
Beside the midnight waters hem.
You must lie down where wild
things are
And feel companionshlp with them
You must delight in that delight
The bud enjoys when first it knows
The passing of the winter night
And wakes to find itself a rose
You must feel pleasures such as
those.
The JOY Of living in the land.
And. as the waking leaves unclose
Must feel your petalled soul expand

The Zone System.

SSa~ 1y~N
Differences over the postal rate
provisions of the war revenue bill are
believed to be more vital than &C
counts so far have indicated. There
are signs, in fact. that a very deter
mined game is being played in this
connection, and that before 1t is finish
ed a split between the House and SEN
ate conferees may occur.
The Senate takes the position that
the revenue bill is no measure into
which to introduce the question OF
postal rate changes. If that matter is
to be taken up. think some of the
influential Senators, it should come
W in the form of separate bill. and
should be fought out comprehensiVeiy
on its merits and without reference
to any of the pressing war problems
House members are inclined to take
a different attitude. They appear to
be insistent on preservation OF some
kind Of a postal-rate increase in the
measure. They favor the zone sys-
tenn provision for second-class matter
particularly, and although their form
of provision is a modification OF the
Mcclellan amendment, still It carries
with il a victory for the Postoffice
Department which publishers feel
would be at least detrimental to their
business if not actually ruinous to
some classes of publications.
The political ambitions Of Represen-
tative Claude Kitchin. Of North Caro-
lima, also enter into the equation,
it is said on the Hill. He is an as
pirant for the Senatorial toga from his
home State, it is claimed, and II he
could win a victory for the postal
rate raisers, it is pointed out, 1t would
help him in the primary battle against
Senator Simmons. The latter is the
head of the Senate conferees, and as
he is no prepayment of rate changes
the issue Is decisive between them.
Cabinet activity in connection with
the bill is said to be very pronounced.
Postmaster General Burleson is hope
! full and insistent, that the postal rate
changes be effected. He sees no i'm
mediate prospect for prevalency of his
| ideas IL the matter is left to a sep
arate bill, and he realizes therefore
that it is almost case of now oil
never il he expects to see Congress:
approve his recommendations for ar
I increase.
To Offset this Secretary McAdoo has
been besought to counsel moderation
among both House and Senate con
ferees. He is supposed to act in the
role OF the grand little compromiser
but in reality the hope of those who
are interesting him in the bill, is thai
he will be able to kill of all desire
to incorporate the postal-rate provi'
sion in the huge measure. If he car
do this he will earn the gratitude Of
the opponents Of the rate changes
and at the same time may be ex
peeted to possess the gratitude of the
proponents for having been able tc
get the disagreeing conferees to.
