of support in the present crisis, Har-
risburg has contributed more young
men to the service of the Army and
Navy than any other inland city in

THE NATIONS WEAKNESS.

Physical Culture: Is it not about
time for us to come to our senses!
Can We not now begin to give the pny.
steal trainer his true rank? 1t is hel
who builds the human foundation.
And is not the foundation of greater
Importance than the superstructure?
An architect gives the most careful
consideration to the building OF the
foundation OF his house He knows
that if the foundation fails to stand
the test the house will tumble in ruins.
1t is the same with the human house
It must be built to stay" Weakness
in any part means that the body IN lis
entirety Ia affected.
The human house must be strong,
1t must be built of rugged material.
must be vigorous in it's every part,
And that science that sppertains 70
the building OF this masterpiece mus
be exalted to its proper position.
Let the physical trainer stand hrsL
Accord his knowledge its true value
Let the physician take the placa
where he belongs. He has been tauga,
TO treat the sick. He has been tausiis
&c diagnose sickness. He knows aD'
soIutely nothing OF the art and science
Of physical training.
Let us pray that the governme en-.
will now exalt physical trainin2' una,
the people may properly undsrstine
Its principles. We have been foiio"ln9
after false gods long enough:
Let the race of cripples that W.
have evolved as a result of TINS ms,
understanding Of the true principles -. y,
life be taken in hand by the phys,ea,

whole, complete in every respso..,

they consider necessary each day %
their lives can be thrown aside.

Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger, in
Good Housekeeping: The indiscrirni-
nate hanging of pictures which has
been SO long the vogue is much to be
deplored. A picture that is intrin-
sIcally good. and bears relationship to
other things of interest, can always
be used. but there are many pictures
used to fill up space, or because they
have beautiful frames, and not be-
cause the subject is appropriate or the
picture itself Is good. If one has no
pictures to start with, good photo
graphs of old masters or old colored
prints are interesting.
The decorative quality Of a picture is
enhanced by the right background, the
height at which 1T is hung, and its
1uxtaposition to other pictures. A
modern picture is usually out of place
on an antique background, and an an
tique picture has not a good setting
In strictly modern room. It is. in
deed, special talent to know lust
how much a decorative object really
decorates. To crowd the walls. even
with very beautiful things, is to fall
FAR short in artistic taste. Unless If
Is an exhibit where all things of a
certain type or class are to be kent

The heightening or lowering of
ceilings can be accomplished effective.

MENACE OF THE i. w. w.

C. Fl. Parker in Atlantic Magazine:
The characteristic of the I. w. w.
movement most worthy Of serious
consideration is the decay Of ideals
of thrift and industry To this can
be added, in place OF the old time
traditional loyalty to the employer. a
sustained antagonism to him. The
casual laborer of the west drifts
away from his job without reflection
as to the effect of this ON the welfare
OF the employer; he feels little inter
est in the quality OF workmanship,
and Is always, not only potential
striker, but ready to take up polite
al or legal war against the employing
class This sullen hostility has been
steadily growing in the last ten years.
1t Is not as melodramatic as sabotage,
but vastly more important. To the
student 1t is Of major Importance, pc
cause it can be linked up more direct
ly and with more accuracy to its
psychological causes In word, it
is natural psychic, outcome of dis
tressing and anti-social labor condi-
ton This sullen hostility develops
very naturally the surface manifesto
tons of unpatriotism, hostility to re-
Iligion, and unlawful action; put the
more important characteristic is the
deeper economic one of the growing
unreliablity and decay of the work
manlilSe spirit among the migratory
}laborers.

comparatively simple. The most effective ice
of the submarine, as Secretary Daniels points
ont is the armed service boat, equipped VIII all

modern torpedoboat destroyer. Foreign naval
experts have expressed admiration for the per
lection of American designs Some forty thou-
sand suggestions have been made to the navy

ing the submarine, and some of these doubtless
have been adoptd, in whole or IN part
American destroyers have been doing effec-

they have created wholesome terror among
those undersea craft.

OUR BOYS WILL BE FED.

Such Of our soldiers as Germany may cap
ture will not be forgotten by our government
or left to starve on the meager rations which
prisoners receive. Under an arrangement made
through the international Red Cross each Of our
boys held in Germany will get two packages of
food a week for which he will personally re-
ceipt. The country will thus know that he is
alive and supplied with the needs of life.
This arrangemnt will be advantageous to
Germany which is unable through lack Of food
to feed her prisoners we'll as the allies feed
theirs The central empires are on short ra-
tons, as the confederacy was in the last years
of our civil war. The south was forced by her
necessities to put her prisoners in Anderson
vile and Libby on famine diet, as she would
not have done had there been plenty in the land;
and we may assume that Germany would feed
her captives sufficiently if she had abundance
of food.
1t is hardly necessary to mention that the
Germans interned in the United States are pro-
vided with everything their health and comfort

HOPE HE GETS THEM.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The game
warden at Keokuk is enraged, because
some miserable pot hunter, some bird
murderer, killed a pair of cardinals
The warden offers SIS out Of his own
pocket, for information that will lead
to the arrest of the guilty parties. 1t
ought to be possible to find them and
then-well, if it was the work of BOYS,
then there ought to be return to the
ways of the good old times" and
these youngsters ought to be reason
ed and demonstrated with in the wood.
shed. and they should be taking their
meals standing for while. 1t is mar
velous how a session Of that kind
strengthens the memory and reminds
youthful wrongdoers of the fact that
certain things are forbidden, and that
it is well to obey the injunction.
If it was some fellow with game
license, some so-called sportsman
what then? He should be- given the
limit of the law, whatever that may
be. His name ought to be published
and kept standing in the paper and
he should forever be denied the right
to game license in Iowa. That ought
to help some.
It is good thing to hear Of a game
WdTueU WHO Is awakened and who
threatens to do something. How
much worse is the killing of these two
cardinals than the murder of other
song birds that is going on all the
time? How much worse than the Grip
ping and manning Of game birds that
are never found, are perhaps never
sought after How much worse than
the wanton killing Of cranes and gulIs
and all manner Of beautiful birds
that are not among our regular Wis
itors. How much worse than killing
eagles that are working no harm, and
then stuffing the carcass and putting
il in a case. How much worse than
violation after violation of the game
laws that are happening every day
and that go unnoticed and unpunish-
ed
OF course. the game warden, after
all cannot do much, no matter how
watchful and energetic he may be.
There must be an awak ening of pub.
lie sentimen before this wanton bird
murder can be stopped, and somehow
that sentiment seems as fast asleep as
was Rip Van Wrinkle after he had
followed the dwarf into the noun
