DIRECTING the RattIe.

Great soldiers are often represented
as enjoying the tumult of war; as a
matter of fact, they are usually lovers
of peace, and their immense RESPONSE
bility Gains them in the most exciting
moments. The man who directs a
great battle under modern conditions
rarely wears a glittering uniform, He
is often miles away from the front,
seated sometimes at pine table set
In the open, covered with telephones
and telegraph instruments, with a
group of aides about him whose work
10 longer is to gallop, with glitterlng
orders on their breasts, over bullet
swept fields, but to receive and trans
nit messages.
On the table before him is a chart
on which the position of every divi-
sion is marked; and as the divisions
change positions these changes are
recorded, so that the eye of the COM
mander in chief sees before him in
miniature the movements OF all the
troops engaged at distance. He Is
surrounded by quietness; and his mood
Is one OF intense concentration.

Justice in Divorce.

Justice in divorce can sever the legal
bond of marriage, but it cannot undo
the natural relation which husband
and wife bear to each other and to
their children, cannot help but hear,
and must hear always. Statutes and
judgments may control the future,
but cannot cancel the past, may solve
social, but cannot annul natural rela-
tions.
Marriage was before human law and
exits by higher and holier authority,
the Divine Order, which we call the
law OF nature. The law and the judg
ment of the land may separate hus-
band and wife and make them legally
free, but law and judgment cannot OBJ
literate their cohabitation in marriage
or the natural and indelible relation
which cohabitation in marriage fixes
on them forever.
1t is shocking to the moral sense Of
mankind to reduce the natural core
lation OF man and woman in marriage
to a mere partnership Of sex absolutely
effaced and undone by dissolution.
The natural tie Of marriage is beyond
the jurisdiction of divorce as essential
ly without the power Of the law as the
natural relation of parent and child.
The power OF the law over this is lin
ited to legal relations, 1t may attain
the heritable quality of blood, but can
not, corrupt the natural blood. And
the law which is impotent to estrange
the mutual blood of husband and wife
in the bodies of their children, cannot
estrange the mutual bodies from whose
union the children spring. The nat
ural seal Of affinity is upon them. They
cannot never again be mere strangers
on earth.-Chief Justice Edward q.
Ryan in 1875. wis. Sup. GU. Report

Will employers who have learned
their efficiency consent to have them
go?
The question is an important one in
its bearing on the future Of women in
industry in the belligerent countries.
They have had new birth OF econom-
ic freedom. They have achieved at a
stroke, in their patriotic response to
their country's need in crisis, an in
dustrial independence for which they
might have fought In vain for years
under peace. win they surrender it
voluntarily? Can they IN fact be COM
PEELED to forfeit it2 OF the many re-
adjustments of economic relations
which are certain to come after the
war, none contains more interesting
possibilities than the disposition to be
made OF women's labor in the light of
its new corditions.-New York World.

Oil Is Kinu.

The European war is without doubt
doing more to- direct general attention
to the claims of oil and its multitu-
dinous products than any amount of
advertising in normal times could have
accomplished.
The great clash of arms on the con-
tinent has from its commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts of petroleum in up-to-date warfare
is no less than in either the industrial
circles or in domestic life. We are to-
day as much dependent upon the re-
fined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities of
life, and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
1t Is no surprise, therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater attention
than they ever before did, but that q
particular healthy atmosphere perme
ates those enterprises which have laid
themselves out-and successfully so
to engage in the production, the re
fining, the transport, or the distribu-
ton of petroleum products. There is,
in short, no installing the fact that in
the future, oil will be king.-Petro-
leum Review.

Saves Workmen's Lives.

When salt has been secured by evap-
Grafton it Is allowed to "cure" by
standing some time in great piles, dur
ing which process it hardens almost
like stone. Often in the curing pro-
cess, as the packers work into the
great heaps of salt, perpendicular
walls are formed. Formerly, many ac-
cidonts were caused by these huge
banks Of salt falling and burying the
worlmen. To avoid this danger, there
IS now being employed large, cleo
trically-driven auger, which bores
holes deep into the pile just above the
floor. The pile caves in slowly, and
the workmen, with no danger to them
selves, may fill the barrels and sacks
with loose, sparkling salt or load it
into carts for the table salt rehneries

True Pleasure.

Those who appreciate pleasure most
are the ones who give themselves lib
orally for the JOY Of it. Selfishness
is the bar that sprays the wheel.
Those who consider gain put chains
to their talents and reap a mercenary's
reward. Men, like fountains that give
grudgingly, soon dry up, Those who
pour out their lives in torrents of good
will, good cheer and pleasure giving
because an inner force c0mpels, reap
the artists name and creators re-
ward. It's the highest note yet sound
ed in the universe of men. 1t savors
of the God-gift. 1t makes the world
better it multiplies the outllowing of
a soul trimming over with the spirit
of majesty and benefits to men. It's
yours if you make i so.

Evolution Of the Shoe.

Shoes We're one Of the first things
hat man set out to make for himself.
The roots and stones hurt his feet,
and he tied n piece Of stout skin to
the bottom of his foot. Then someone
conceived the idea that covering for
The foot would keep out the cold, which
brought an extension Of the hide to the
ankles, the whole being fastened with
a thong. After n time sandals came
into use, the sole being heavier than
the upper. Then the wooden shoe, cut
out of one block of wood, was intro
duced. 1t still is used largely among
the peasants ! Europe, and for many
kinds of work is prefcrableso leather,
being moisture proof.

The refusal of the senate TO suspend
its rules TO permit the addition to the
post Office appropriation bill of the
proposed amendment doubling the rate
on newspapers and magazines killed
that proposition for this congress.
The practice of putting through
general legislation by attaching 1t
to the appropriation bill is thor
oughly vicious. All legislation shou d
stand on It's merits and not be sneaked
through under cover Of an apprUpria-
tion bill.
But while the doubling Of the post
age rates on newspapers and magazines
is presumably dead for this session it
may be revived and it will be we'll for
the subject to be discussed SO that in.
telligent action may be taken if it is
revived in the next congress. Ia the
first place, if the government wishes
to cut the cost Of the postal service it
had better begin by abolishing the
greatly abused ranking privilege
which cutters the mails with public
documents and publications of no
earthly interest to anyone but their
originators.
II after that obvious initial reform
the post Office department still thinks
tho naryopanar and ,nar,ytra caro
should be increased IL should be done
in business-like way, not in slap.
dash style as suggested. The parcel
post rate illustrate the proper course,
the establishment of zones. Let the
newspaper rates remain as they are, for
instance within radius OF 200 or $50
miles from the Office of publication, in.
creasing beyond that according TO dis.
lance. This would protect the readers
OF local publications and readiust the
rate according to the haul the sensible
arrangement on the basis and service
and cost.
The grouping OF newspapers and
magazines is another error. The
newspaper haul, mostly territorial, is
altogether different from the national
distribution required by magazines
and the handling is much less. If
newspapers are not exempted from any
proposed raise their postage rates
should most certainly be graded in
zones, as suggested, based on postal
service. Newspaper readers should
not be asked 10 pay the same rate for
delivery Of their local newspaper that
magazine readers across the continent
pay for haul Of thousands OF miles,

For more than two years past one
element in Congress has been de-
nouncing the President of the United
States because he did not get US into
war with Germany, while another ele'
ment has been criticising him for fear
he would get US into war with Ger
many. Between these two extremes,
the President has doomed up as the one
great figure in the government, stand
ing firmly and consistently for Ameri-
can rights, hoping and striving for
peace, but unwilling to preserve it at
the cost of national honor. lie has

at any price. History will record him
as great President when his critics
and maligners have been dead and for

Production of Rubber.

The worlds production of rubber has
doubled in eight years, according to
figures presented by Henry Jumelie in
a bulletin Of the Colonial Institute of
Marseille. In 1915 the production was
10000 tons, against 10S,500 in 1915
and 10000 in 1913. And this in spite
of the fact that Germany and Austria
were able to import none at all In
1915. The greatest relative increase
