The common honey bee may aid In
giving America full air supremacy.
Orviiie Wright, SO We are informed by
newspaper reports. has been studying
the honey bees flying system and his
flying paraphernaha, says Peoria Jour
nal. Wright had previously studied
birds and bats in order to help him
work out some satisfactory system Of
air navigation and now, If the stories
are to be believed, the bee is under his
microscope. Wright might have picked
out the butterfly, the moth, the house
fly or the gnat as q flying model. He
might have selected some bird, as did
the French atrplane developers. He
might have chosen the hawk, IS did
some Of the German airplane students.
But he selected the bee. And as he IS
working on war models perhaps he did
wise thing-because the bee is not
only producer, a good fier, a COM
mon sense being, an antifuss creature
and quiet brute, but he has one Of
the best fighting weapons known. May
Orville Wright produce airplanes that
will swarm like bees, fly like bees.
tumble like bees, tumble over in the
air without falling-like bees, and that
will have q practical business end for
fighting. Behold the bee! He may
help us win the war.

The remark Of a French officer that
history will prove to be the German s
worst foe is a true and profound one,
says Baltimore American. The lack
of honor, of faith, of truth, of all NOR
al and humane considerations, will
to come and make their dealings with
other nations exceedingly difficult
For years in the future they will be
feared, hated and despised, and it will
be a herculean task to regain the place
in world public opinion which their
present leaders have so wantonly for
feited.

LESSON IN
ADVERTISING
Professor Lindley Thinks Publicity Is
Greatest Marvel of the Age.

Setting aside the generally accepted
belief that electricity and flying ma
chimes are the greatest marvels of the
age, DR.. E. H. Lindley, president of
the University of Idaho, last week stat
ed in Pullman, Wash, that in his be-
lief the greatest marvel of the present
age is the remarkable development of
advertising to that point where the adj
vertiser can impress his wishes upon
people, possibly thousands of miles
away, and cause them to do the thing
the advertiser wants them to do.
President Lindley spoke on the sub
iect at Pays to Advertise" hsi adj
dress being the feature of the annual
open meeting of the Fortnightly Club
of Pullman. The speaker dealt with
advertising from the standpoint of
psychology its effect upon the mind of
the person it reaches. He gave num-
Der of interesting tests to the audi
ence to prove that constant advertis-
ing impresses the item advertised upon
the minds of the people, quoting parts
Of time-worn advertising slogans while
the audience clamored to complete the
slogan.

British workmen are not going to
submit to scientific management I'M
ported from America or elsewhere"
declared the archbishop Of York in a
democratic speech on the labor ques-
ton he delivered the other day in the
house Of lords. "They regard it as
'Prussianizing' industry and they will
resist it." said the archbishop. He de-
clared that 1t was surprising there had
been SO little unrest among British
workmen, and declared that their
higher wages had been, more or less,
neutralized by higher prices. which
they believed to be due to profteering.
They also had been harried and har-
rassed, he said, by the confusion Of re-
cruiting and medical examination or
ders and by the suspension of trade
union regulations. Yet vast numbers
Of them from eyercrowded houses in
slums had come forward with the
greatest readiness TO the help Of the
country.

What should America bring to the
war as Its most vital contribution to
the great cause? A correspondent Of
Golfers" on the battle line reports
the conclusions OF dozen French Of
fcers Of high rank. "Tne conclusions"
he says, "are important because they
are shared by the commander in chief
Of the French army" They are: IF
America will build, for her own use
and the use of her allies 10000 cannon
six and nine-inch-and will put into
the air 10000 bomb-dropping airplanes
(and keep these numbers good, then
and at very trifing loss Of allied lives,
can the road be opened to Berlin-and

A wholesale grocer in New York
has had his license revoked for the
period Of the war for profteering in
overcharge for sugar, says Baltimore
American. With power like this in
active operation on all offenders who
attempt to gouge the public, the prac-
tice will become too improbable to
continue II the public is on the alert
and ready to complain promptly Of the
men who are unpatriotic enough to
ea pitalize the nations necessities.

Since the war began women are TAX
ing the places vacated by men on the
Union Pacific railroad as station
agents, clerks and engine wipers. At
NaSsar twelve girl students have been
industriously filling the college gar
dens, and have supplied enough food
Stuffs to carry LOO students, the fac
ulty and live stock over until next
years harvest, says Los Angeles
Times. In southern California women
are learning blacksmithing and be-
coming experts at driving the big trac-
tors that are revolutionizing the farm
ing industry. 1t may be that 'wom-
ans sphere IS the home" but she is
proving that she is both willing and
capable of temporarily stepping out Of
that sphere at her country's call for
increased production, conservation and
economy. The lazy lout who never
washed dish nor swept a room IN
his life will do well to keep his mouth
shut about the subject of woman s
rights.

ST. PAUL RAISED
FROM RIVER GRAVE
Engineers Perform Marine
Feat in Relocating Amer
lean Liner.

The American Line steamship St Paul,
which turned over on her port side April
rs while being warped into her North
River pier, was refioated on even keel
yesterday and soon will be ready to go
to drydock.
The raising was one OF tho most dim
cult tasks ever undertaken by marine
engineers In American waters owing to
the ships size and the narrow quarters
between two concpete piers In which
she was lying. Efforts to refioat her by
pontoons were unsvailing and enough
wrecking tugs to carry the weight could
not be grouped about her.
As a final resort divers closed in all
openings OF the vessels decks. tall steel
stanchions were belted to the exposed
side, and while pumps removed the water
from the submerged hull, a dozen or
more powerful electric winches sta tioned
on one Of the piers pulled steadily on
cables running over the stanchions and
attached 10 the hull, thus securing in
creased leverage.
For the last week the hull has been
gradually yielding to the pulling and
pumping operations and to-day the st
Paul came into an upright position.
The cause OF the ship turning over
never has been officially explained, the
assumption being that In warping In
without sufficient ballast the vessel was
pulled over until water entered an open
port. Reports were also circulated ar
open sea cock may have caused the accl.
dent The St Paul had just left dry
dock and was to have been turned over
to the Navy Department for transport
services.

B. X. T. BLOCKADE
CAUSES CONFUSION
Thousands Delayed 2 Hours
at Peak of Rush.

Thousands OF passengers were delayed
for two hours and scenes Of confusion
resulted from a block at the peak of the
rush last night in the Essex and De-
lancey street station Of the new b. r T.
subway. Several persons were hurt and
1t was necessary to call out reserves.
The congestion affected other lines OF
the system on both sides Of the river
and was the more serious because many
OF the persons involved--a majority Of
whom were women-were only becoming
accustomed to the new method Of trav-
cling to and from Brooklyn by means
Of the line over the Williamsburg Bridge.
The trouble started when an empty
subway train that was being switched
into service at the Essex and Delaney
street station fouied the tracks, blocking
both the east and west bound lines. West
bound trains piled UP all the way across
the Williamsburg Bridge and eastbound
trains on the Manhattan side Of the river
filled the tube from Delaney street
through the Centre street loop to the
Municipal Building.
Owners Of sightseeing buses and NOV
Ing vans reaped a harvest for couple
of hours by transporting passengers over
the bridge at half a dollar a head. Be-
fore the block was many minutes old the
congestion at Canal and Centre streets
had become so great and the disgruntled
passengers 30 threatening that a woman
ticket agent flung her money In the safe
and ran to the Elizabeth street police
station.
After much difficulty one line was
| cleared and a shuttle system instituted.
but II was nearly o'clock before any
thing like normal service was resumed.
