THE PRESIDENTS QUESTION
MARE.

The President has elected to use
the Socratic method in exposing the
hollowness of the German peace of
fensive. He has replied with ques-
tionnaire, instead Of with the stern
refusal to parley which the Nation
expected. The event will disclose
whether the President has acted wise
ly, whether his questions really tear
the mask from German pretense, or
merely form the basis for further
discussion,
Two questions the President asks,
before making reply to Chancellor
Max: Do you accept the Fourteen
Terms and desire to discuss only their
practical application? Whom do you
represent merely the constituted
authorities who have so far conducted
the war?
Candid answers to these questions
would doubtless clear the air., But
will Prince Max make candid answer :?
Suppose he says Eyes" to the first
question, and yet conceals the Ger
man purpose to escape from some of
the Fourteen Terms by such nego-
! tiation as might be. implied lin a
crooked German Interpretation of the
phrase practical application. Sup
pose he replied to the second question

thorities and the German people.
It is plain that answers like these

PEASE
Changing the Clock

There still remains nearly month
of the period fixed in the daylight
saving law which went into effect
on the last Sunday in March, by which
all the clocks in tn United States
were turned ahead enc hour.
The date upon which the clocks
are to be turned back again to the
old STANDARD time" is at 2 o'clock a.
m. on the last Sunday of October.
The last Sunday of October this year
falls on the 9th.
The shortening days and lengthen-
ing nights are already making the
rising hour for most working people
come considerably before sunrise and
there is a constantly increasing in
disposition to respond to the alarm
clock or the call of the factory
whistle at 6 a. m. We should ap-
preciate however, the fact that it
still gives us an appreciate amount
of daylight after the days work is
ended, which we could not have if
the old standard time were already
restored.
On Saturday night, October 26th,
we can set our clocks back one hour
and go to bed with the comforting
assurance that we are going to have
one solid hour more for sleep that
night than we have been privileged
to enjoy for seven months preceding
it.

DRAFT BY 25s

One of the best excuses for being
late into the camp after visit to New
York was given by man of the
136th. He was on his way to the
train when a band struck up the
"Star-Spangled Banner" He stopp-
ed short, came to attention, and while
he was waiting for the last note the
train pulled away from the station.
Another man claims that while he
was at attention during the playing
of the anthem, he was relieved of his
purse and all his spare change.

The worth of anything lay not in
the absence of defect but in the pre-

The Merit of hot Air Heating is in
the Live, Fresh Healthy Air. The
saving in cost of plant. The absence
of expense for maintanances. The
ability to use Soft coal or any kind

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elatcd
over the fact that that they have at
last found a genuine and dependable
remedy for colds, sore throat, in
fluenza and la grinpe For years they
have dcpended chiefly upon the old
stvle calomel, which is certainly fine,
but unfortunately many people would
not take il because of its nauseating
and dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected a nausealess cal
omel, called "Calotabs" whose medic
nal virtues are vastly improved, the
doctors and druggists are claiming
that Calotabs are the ideal remedy TO
abort cold over night and cut short
an attack of sore throat or la grippe.
They are also finding it most effect
i've in the treatment of pneumonia
One Calotab on the tongue at
bedtime with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing or your work and pleasure. Next
morning your cold mas vanished and
your whole system is purified and re-
freshed. Calotabs are sold only in
original sealed packages; price thirty
five cents. Your druggist recommends

SPIES IN SWITZERLAND
(By Carl w. Ackerman)

A messenger from the American le-
cation in Berne was assaulted one
night while en- route from his Office
with important papers. This encoun-
ter ended in cur first European victory
because the German had misjudged
the strength of the attache, who sue
ceeded in beating him with his cane
until ne collapsed on the sidewalk.
Then the American gave him an ad
ditional punch just for good measure.
The first two nights l was in Berne
attempts were made to enter the room
which ] was using as an office. One
night three men rented an adjacent
room and made a mass attack on the
door, but failed to enter. When | re-
ported it to the German manager of
the hotel the next morning he assured
me | was mistaken, that no guest of
his hotel would try to rob another;
but within five minutes after my COM
plant the three men were hurrying
from the hotel to the railroad station,
fearing, probably, that l might COM
plain to the police.
A few days later | was sitting in the
writing room of the hotel preparing
some kilograms. After | had them
written | walked to the telegraph Of
fee, where | rewrote them on tele-
graph blanks. The originals l tore
into small pieces, chucking them into
my pocket About two blocks from
the telegraph Office | saw an opening
to a sewer and threw the scraps away.
Before | had walked fifty feet farther
some one was on his knees picking up
the bits that remained scattered in
the gutter! 1t amused me to know
that Germany today apparently has
more regard for scraps of paper than
she had in 1914.
These incidents are related to show
how Germany has centered practically
all her efforts in Switzerland upon the
United States, because America, is the
one power that Germany fears in this
sphere of influence.

TO GUARD CHILDREN
DURING WAR TIME

How the prin cipal warning countries
moral danger and to develop in war
time better provision for those who
become delinquent is briefly described
in the latest report of the Children's
Bureau, United States Department of
Labor. The report says:
Not yet can we attempt to measure
the effect of the war upon juvenile de.
linquency in the United States. But
in the wartime experience Of other
countries we see certain inJurou con-
ditions which are being repeated here
and many of the measures of proven
ton and care recommended by for
eign writer's express principles which
no community can afford to disre
gard, but which are not yet effective
throughout the United States
The reports from three countries 81
diverse as England, Germany, and
Russia emphasize the injurious moral
effect of long hours under pressure of
speed and the special Importance in
war time of abundant, active, whole
scme recreation according to the bu-
reau, which adds:
Everywhere the breaking up OF
home life by the absence of the father
and the employment of the mother is
considered serious menace to the
welfare of children and young people.
France and Italy have enacted spec
al legislation for the guardianship oil
children whose fathers have been kill
ed in the service. In certain Of the
German States the work of the guard
ianship courts has been extended in
an effort to safeguard children whose
fathers are absent with the army.

HOW OLD is THE OCEAN?

How old is the ocean? Standing on
the slope and looking out over the eX-
panse of water. the ocean seems a
fixed and eternal fact, but the seas
had a beginning and will have an end
Scientists say that when this time
comes the last drop of water will have
been absorbed into the earth's crust;
it's surface will be desert and all life
will become extinct. The age of the
oceans has been estimated by lead
ing authority, Prof Frank Clarke Of
the United States geological survey
al about 90,00O,000 years. This, of
course, is only an approximation, but
is based on carefully studied scientific
data. All the water was once con-
tanned in the vapor that surrounded
the glowing, slowly-cooling mass
which is now the earth. After the
gases combined to form water, the
process of making the ocean salt be-
gan. Mineral salts were extracted
from the rocks over which they flow
ed and deposited in the sea, Each
year the action of the streams is said
to make the ocean slightly more salty,
and this is the basis on which it's age
is calculated. The amount of salt car
red by the rivers Of the world is COM
puted by the scientists and compared
with the total quantity in the ocean.
After evaporation and the velocity of
currents have been considered, it is
possible to calculate how long it has
taken to make sea water as salty as
it is today. Abauot 3 ~ per cent of
mineral salts and SO IL per cent fresh
water make up the oceans. Three
! fourths of the solid matter is common
| table salt, chloride of sodium, other
/ ingredients being chloride, sulphate,
/ and bromide or magnesium, sulphate
of potash, besides traces of various
other minerals and metals, including
gold and silver-Tit Bits.
