Brooklyn school teacher calls himself

only fashion in which to deal with these
men is a summary fashion.

affairs in such fashion.
Leniency in the first cases presented
for punishment for violation Of the
registration provisions of the draft act
would have been fatal. 1t would have
produced contempt for the processes by
which the nation is trying to raise it's

PRAISES CARTER COUNTY
ASPHALT

Oklahoman: Oklahoma has been so
busy mining immense quantities Of coal
and piping millions of barrels Of oil that
the odds and ends Of our mineral wealth
have been somewhat overlooked. Yet
those odds and ends represent great
riches, and if we hadn't found quicker
ways to create millionaires. this state
would have made more progress in the
development Of minerals which are fac
tors in other states.
The current issue Of the United States
geological bulletin refers TO the gains
made in the output Of gypsum. New
York, Iowa and Michigan are mentioned
as leaders in the industry; Oklahoma is
not mentioned, but our own state has
unlimited quantities Of that substance.
reference in the geological bulletin
td the cement industry gives promi.
n4nee to states other than Oklahoma,
add Oklahoma could supply the nation
with cement II mills should be erected
to convert the raw materials into the
finished product that is used to con-
struct highways and skyscrapers.
In the production Of salt we learn that
Michigan is the leader. One reason why
titHt state has kept TO the front is on
adsopnt Of the fuel that II found in the
Whine Of sawdust and blocks Of wood

fite morning Oklahoma will resolve to
gdt into the salt industry on a large
scale, and then Wen take the record
from some Of the other states.
In the manufacture OF asphalt. Cali.
fornia led the other states last year
Since Oklahoma has plenty Of asphalt
there is no reason for taking second
place to the Pacific coast state, and as
we prepare to build great highways over
this state. we will draw on the deposits

Some OF the streets Of Oklahoma City
are paved with the asphalt which came
from the Ardmore district. As one rides
over these streets he hopes that more
OF that same mineral will be used tc
pave the bouleyards that are TO stretch
across Oklahoma.
The minerals that yield wealth quick
ly have held the stage in Oklahoma
But some day the footlights will glow

wealth which is TO come from our odds

CONGRATULATIONS. KANSAS,

what IL has already accomplished be.

II deserves not a little credit for the
work IL has done this spring.
A statement on the crop production
Increase. recently completed. is Of gem
eral interest. At the Councils instiga.
ton, $500, 900 acres Of abandoned wheat
land were put into corn this spring.
One half Of the 100000 acres OF winter.
killed wheat went promptly to corn A
half million acres went into oats, 750..
600 acres went into the grain sorgums.
100000 acres went into barley and q
similar amount into other spring crops
There are 5000 more acres Of potatoes
in Kansas this yeari than ever before
The Safe Council Of Defense accom-.
pllshed all this by well handled cam.

do more than ever before. II helpel
the farmer by arranging for the dis
tribution OF farm power. II secured
the seed and got Il delivered at the right

It's a good record, and one that prom

ALL CONTINENTS IN THE WAR.
World Conflicts Area Covers Practic-
ally the Entire Globe.

London Answers: A day when all the
world should be at war has often been
the subject Of sensational fiction, and
those who profess to read the riddles of
prophecy have often prognosticated it.;
but today it is practically an accomplish
ed fact 1t is surprising how little of
the world is not directly involved in this
stupendous conflict.
Six-sevenths of Europe is in the war
area. Only Spain, Switzerland, Scandi-
navia, Denmark and Holland are out Of
IT, Yet Europe, the very center of the
vast upheaval, is not as fully represent
ed, according to its area, as the other
continents, with the one exception of
South America, although, if the Argen-
tin Joins Brazil, even that vast continent
will be almost entirely belligerent.
With the exception of Mexico, the
whole of North America is in the fight
ing, and If China be counted belliger-
ent less than one.siXteenth of Asia is
at peace. 1t is a remarkable fact that,
with the exceptions of Spanish Morocco
and Abyssinia, the whole of Africa is in
the war, while it goes without saying
that every square inch of Australia, the
smallest of the continents although
more than two.thirds the size of Europe,
is devoted to the cause of the allies.
In fact, the situation reminds one Of
the story of Mark Twain. whose father
commanded him to weed the flower bed,
and who slyly retorted that it seemed
case of Towering the weed bed" for
it is much easier to name the states at
peace than those at war

Many women in England and Scot
land have developed into expert mechan-
ical engineers. This is one Of the sur
prising results of the war.
Eighty.five Salina, Kan, women have
volunteered as nurses. A number or
them are women with families, while
the balance are young ladies.
Wealthy American women were liber-
al subscribers to the Liberty loan. Mrs.
Russell Sage took $2O00,0O0 in bonds
and Mrs. f. H. Hartman $1,O0O.OO0.
Girls learning dairying in some parts
of England are taught by the use OF
rubber models of the essential parts Of
cows, a recent British invention.
Leading young women of Louisville,
KY, are preparing themselves to go the
limit for their country should they be
needed-they are learning to shoot with
regulation army rifles.
A statement of the women's depart
ment of the National Civic Federation
is that "the road from pacifism to dis
loyalty and proGermanism is a short
one; at one end is cowardice and at the
other treason. The call Of the pacifist
to resistance is call to betray our
country to the Teutonic enemy"

still more recent enterprise of great
value. Technical schools are turning
themselves into volunteer factories for
the production of army engineers. Case
School of Applied Science, for example,
has just announced that next year it
will train engineers for all branches Of
army service. Changes are being made
throughout the curriculum in order to
put the school on a war basis and
place its admirable equipment at the
disposal of the government. Many other
institutions of similar nature are doing
likewise. The students will be given
school credit for this special work, thus
qualifying for a college degree at the
same time that they qualified for ef'
ficient service in the army or navy.
