BRAVE SONS OF FAR WEST
Ecys' Sole Object in Going to War,
Like That of Others, Is to
"can the Kaiser"

Mai. f. Alexander Powell, in Scrib-
ner's Magazine, says sit has been my
good fortune to have marched with
many armies, but none of them has
given me the thrill Of pride which runs
ND my spine when I see these loose
iiiabed, brown-faced, clear-eyed sons
of the far West go swinging by under
the slantfng lines of steel.
ssThey are for the most part serious
looking, with curious set expression
about them which makes you feel that,
though they realize the immense diff
Guilty of the task for which they are
preparing, they intend to see it fin
ished, no matter how long it may
take. Just as their fathers carried the
frontier of civilization westward from
the Mississippi. so these, their sons,
are going to push that same frontier
from the Rhine.
But that isn't the way that they
would put it. Should you ask them
what they are fighting for, they viii
say nothing about the liberty of small
peoples or about making the world
safe for democracy. They win assure
you that their sole object in going to
war is to can the kaiser And, upon
thinking il over, 1t seems to me that
their answer, though somewhat inele-
gantly phrased. perhaps, expresses the
sentiments of all Of us"

fnunity can no longer look with COM
placence on the failure of child.
Formerly the child was thought of as
a culprit when he did not get on in
the school, but today it is recognized
with all clearness that the community
and not the child is most responsible
The community cannot afford to let a
child get discouraged, because the dis
couraged child becomes an unproduc-
tive citizen. The community cannot
afford to have child held back so that
he drops out of school without at Nast
an elementary course. for the unedu-
Gated child becomes an unskilled la
borer In short, the failure of child
in school because of adverse school
conditions is a large problem in which
the community should be more inter-
ested than any individual
What | believe to be the causes win
be discussed in another chapter of
this report: the results are playing

BEES KNOWLEDGE OF TIME
Experiments Seem to Prove Them En-
bowed With intelligence Almost
Beyond Belief.

Bees, said to be the most intelligent
Of insects, have remarkable knowl-
edge of time, says the Philadelphia
Record. Professor Conklin of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania is of the opin-
ion that bees also have a powerful
memory, which is the reason, he as
serts, that bee flying half mile
away from its hive returns safely to its
shelter. It observes closely the land
marks passed on the outward journey.
An owner of several hives of bees,
noting the diligence they observed in
their work. was fAduced to investigate
If time could be accurately gagged by
his swarms. For several weeks he had
his meals on the terrace of his house,
breakfast being served promptly at
seven o'clock, when preserves were
used as light repast.
Most of the contents Of the table
were allowed to remain until lunch
con, at 10 a. m. At noon the mid
day meal was served, but without
sweets. AT p. m. there was a light
lunch, with sweets, which remained
on the table for half an hour or so.
AS a further inducement dish of
stewed cherries was put to cool on
window nearby, and In few hours the
whole swarm of bees were sucking the
sweet juice.
This melted the bees to visit the
window regularly. The dish was aft
erward moved to the table, and was
discovered by one of their number.
On the morrow several companies were
at the feast, and every day the number
increased. AT first the bees arrived at
all hours but soon they realized that
there was nothing doing between 10
a. m. and p. M, so the visits ceased
except at the meal hours.

AscRIBED TO FALLING STAR
Mystery Crater In Plain of Arizona is
Thus Explained by Biologists
of Prominence.

About forty miles from Flagstaff,
Ariz., In the midst Of q great plain,
there is a saucer-shaped hollow or
crater about three-quarters Of a mile
across and 600 feet deep. The rim
of the crater rises between $50 and
200 feet above the surrounding plain.
: Rocky fragments are scattered about
for several miles around the crater.
Among these rocks many fragments Of
meteoric iron, some containing black
diamonds, have been found. The in
ner walls show that the crust of the
earth was broken when the crater was
formed, yet no volcanic rocks exist
there.
Biologists have offered theories to
account for this phenomenon. One is
that an immense meteorite made the
hole, and that the meteoric fragments
mentioned are remnants Of the falling
star. Another theory ascribes the
origin of the crater to a tremendous
explosion OF steam in the rocks be-
meath, and third combines the first
two by suggesting that the blow Of a
falling meteor, striking the earth's
crust at a point where subterranean
water had accumulated In the neigh
borh0od of heated rocks was the cause
Of the explosion.
