OIL ON WATER HAS

The experiment on n large scale OF
smoothing water by means of oil was
first made at Peterhead. England. by
John Shields So years ago. A force
pump with 1900 feet of lead and iron
pipe was used to throw the oil upon
the waves at the harbor's mouth. AL
though the sea was running high 1t be-
came smooth as soon as the pump be-
gan TO pour oil upon the troubled
waters"
On many occasions since then ves-
sells in danger at sea have used oil to
smooth the waves with great success
Just n few years ago the efficacy Of
oil in sitting the pillows was again
demonstrated when the Uranian liner
Folturno burned in mid ocean. When
the rescue ships. summoned by wire

so high that they could not approach

Mr.. Schwab is something more

"'No,' she said. Il wouldn't

AS it turned out, that offer TO

company this year will pay war

trifling Importance compared.

he will render this country, if he
succeeds with the shipping, where

Take it from us that Mr..
Schwab will be well into the lime

Editor Missoulian: AS you are aware
the American Red Cross society Is
shipping thousands OF packages of
supplies for ultimate delivery in
France and upon these packages they
are forced to pay express charges, or
IN frequent cases the packages are
shipped by freight In order to reduce
tie expense. This item of expense is
one OF the largest that they have to
meet and We're it not for this item
their efficiency and output would in
crease to n very noticeable extent. Why
does this condition exist? And why
should II exist? Let everyone who is
Interested (and everyone should be
irterested) send n letter to his con-
gresham and ask that he do all in his
power to arrange that this matter be
tranked, even though 1t be necessary
to do away with that very valuable
paper the Congressional Record. Why
not take the money that 1t takes to
send these parcels and make extra
bandages" 1t certainly looks rs though
WI might need them.
If You have n small place in YOUR

matter should DO seriously considered.

WATCH SCHWAB.

One Of our iavorite side diver
sions is that Of digging up dark
horses for various offices of dis
tinction. 1t is a harmless amusc-
ment, and besides, there is al
ways a chance Of hitting a long
shot, with the glowing prospect
of claiming, in 1920, that we were
the original John Doe man in
Montana. This is an open field
and anybody may take 4 chance
without rlsking more than his
reputation as a prophet.
Last summer, we vcnhlrod the
prophecy that one Of The two can
dida'cs for the presidency IN 1920
would be a great business man,
one disassociatcd with the trusts,
but who, by reason Of service in
this war had found such COM
handing confidence in The pco-
pie that they would turn IN
stinctively i'll a crisis. Just
as this war is essentially the
greatest business proposition ever
known in this republic, one in
which all OF the people are, or
should be engaged, to that extent
are we justified in looking for a
business leadership that will en-
ert large influence. We think
that the people will have little
regard for ordinary political cx-
pcdiency if they find such a man
in their vision during the coming
two years.
The biggest problem is in ham
ding the shipping. Suppose that
Charles NJ. Schwab saves that
situation and that the war is still
in progress in two years, would
that not prove Mr.. Schwab to be
a whale OF man, in the estima-
zion Of his fellow men? You need
lot tell US that these radicals who
5ppos1 this war are to grow in

A GREAT JOB.

Evidently there was great
deal of exaggeration in the
first reports of scandalous graft
in connection with the great ship
building project at Hog Island.
The work will cost the govern
ment a great deal more than the
original estimate, and the profits
to the promoters will be very
large in gross figures, but the re-
cent explanation Of Vice-Presi-
dent Connick of the American In
ternational Shipbuilding corpora
ton throws much light on the
subject.
After the original contract for
the Hog Island plant was signed
with the shipping board, seventy
s,OOO-ton ships were charged in
the proposed output, which had
been fixed at fifty 7,5OO-ton ves-
sells. The original cost of the
contract of the plant yards was
$t9,OOO,OOO, but under change of
plans the cost was considerably
extended. Instead of housing
5000, it is proposed to house
1000, and nearly twice the
amount of lumber has been used
than was fixed under the first
plan.
Some idea of the extent of this
work may be gathered from Mr..
Connick's statement that it is a
bigger job than the Panama
canal. Nearly $4,000 men are
now employed in the plant alone.
This is an enterprise that may
well cause the Germans to pause
and think. Fifty ships will be
launched at this yard this year,
of which twenty-five will be
ready by November 1, and an
other twenty-five by December
18th. Delivery is promised for
all of the one hundred and
twenty-five ships contracted for
before July, 1910.
When we think that this is
but one of scores of yards
where transatlantic ships are
being constructed, we may we'll
conclude that enough will get by
the submarines in the course of
the next two years, if the war
lasts that long, to keep our allies
and our armies from starvation.
The problem will be solved in
time, of course, but many thou
sands of lives would have been
saved if our government had not
suffered from the criminal delay
of last summer, when the work
was virtually stopped because Of
the quarrel between Goethals and
Dcnman.

Forest Service Engineer
Makes SnoWshos Trip.

James Girard. logging engineer for
the forest service, has just returned
from n snowshoe trip through the Sun
River district with one companion.
The snow in the mountains was from
five to seven feet deep. The men car
ried heavy packs and frequently
foundered in the drifts.
Mr.. Girard stated that they saw a
herd of 1000 elk ranging in the Sun
River country, which bids fair to be-
come rs famous a reserve as the yell
lowstope park for Elk. They are in
first class condition on account OF
the mild weather, Mr.. Girard declared.
4 large acreage in that section Is
planted to grain and many are just
breaking the ground for their spring
planting, according to Mr.. Girard.

Dust Often Is Cause

Spontaneous combustion Is caused,
SO the chemists tell us, by floating par
ticles of coal dust or other inflanmable
material jostling and clashing against
enc another until the friction they set
ur raises their temperature to the ig-
milton point, says Popular Science
monthly. II this explanation is correct,
n would appear as If such fires could
be Prevented by perfect ventilation.
Such. however, is not the case, for

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

The best way, If one might
paraphrase the adage, to tell
whether the war pudding is good
and digestible is to eat it. So, in
these war days, we of America
are trying many new things to
make ourselves most efficient for
the successful prosecution OF the
war. We have taken over the
railroads, we have regulated what
we shall eat, we have fixed GER
tain system for the handling OF
our fuel, we have interncd some
spies, who, by the way, may con-
slider themselves lucky that moth
ing more than internmcnt has
happened to them. And we have
required the registration of all
enemy aliens within our borders
who are not otherwise held.
There are many thousands of
these enemy aliens, and the gov
eminent, that is to say, President
Wilson, realizing the damage
they might do, issued proclama-
ton requiring their registration.
This proclamation has now been
in force long enough so that we
may get some idea as TO how it
has worked out. We are begin
ming to realize just how good and
sufficient for the purpose is this
registration pudding.
According to the plan, all alien
enemies in certain districts were
required 10 appear at a certain
time before certain officers.
blanks were filled out telling all
about them, their photographs
and fingerprints were obtained,
and they were told that they must
not leave the district without first
obtaining permission from the au-
thoritics, who were required to
learn where they were going and
the purpose of their trip. Then,
they are instructed, when they
reach their destination, to make
their presence known to the au-
thorities there.
OF course, some OF them follow
this program with scrupulous
care. But the great majority of
them, according TO the opinions
expressed by the authorities in
Missoula and elsewhere, do not.
One local official characterized
the whole system recently as "a
joke
1t is pity, at this most critical
time in the history not only Of
America, but of-the entire werld,
that there is not the most rigid
supervision of alien enemies in
the United States. Can America
afford to take chances now? Can
they afford to let dangerous
alien enemy in Butte, for instance,
report that he is leaving for Spo-
kane, and then, after he has gone
a few miles to the west, leave his
train and go to the Twin Cities, or
to Chicago, to Join forces with
the many alien enemies there?
Why does he do this, if he has the
interests of his adopted country
at heart?
The time is coming, if the war
lasts many months longer, when
there will be short shrift for the
alien enemy in this land of ours.
We are eating of our registration
pudding. There is something the
matter with it. Perhaps it con-
tains powdered glass.
