COULD BUSINESS" HAVE DONE
BETTER9

In all the talk of the necessity for
business methods which has come out
of the senate Investigations into the
conduct of the war it would be inter
esting to know how many great bust
ness establishments could emerge
from such an inquiry with as low a
record of delay and error as the war
department to say nothing of the
navy department
Just how well has private business
met the increased demands upon it
that the war made? We know that
while an increase of 20 per cent was
required from the coal industry, that
increase was not made. Hence the
shortage of coal in so many sections
of the country We know that rail-
road transportation has broken down
under the increased demands made up
on it, yet that increase was slight in
comparison with the increase made
upon the war department.
Almost overnight the quartermast-
er's department had to be expanded
into the greatest single business es-
adjustment in the country, and the
demands upon the ordnance depart
ment were hardly less Yet the fail
ures of both are trivial in comparison
with the achievements and in no way
affect the winning of the war.
We find the same relative state of
affairs in the shipbuilding undertake
ings of the government where it is
the private yards that failed to come
up to expectations. But in spite of
this the work of constructing a great
mercantile marine is forging ahead
at rate that would have seemed un-
believable a year ago and this not
withstanding the controversies that
have arisen out of a division of re-
sponsibility which Mr. Hurley has
wisely assumed the personal response
bility of ending without waiting for
action by congress.
1t is not necessary to give every
body connected with the conduct of
the conduct of the war a certificate
of omniscience and omnipotence. but
the longer the Investigations continue
the more extraordinary it is that so
little has gone seriously wrong. The
admiration that the British and the
French profess for Aemrican achieve
ments in the war is not perfunctory.
The compliment is genuine. They
know what it all means and what the
difficulties are that had to be sur
mounted for they have travelled that
road themselves.-New York World.

SCREEN CHATS

While there was at no time any
question in the minds of those re-
sponsible for the production of
TON Sawyer" as to it's probable
reception by the public, it is doubt
full if even the most sanguine had
any conception of the tremendous
interest that has awakened in Mark
Twains famous story, in its screen
form, as presented by Paramount.
II was decided to make two 5-reel
films. calling the first one Tom
Sawyer" and the second, "Huck
and Tom" William d. Taylor di-
rected both productions and the re-
lease of the first picture by Para
mount has already justified the
making of the second.
Noted for her fashionable and ex-
tensive wardrobe, dainty Vivian
Martin, of Paramount fame, in THE

most attractive costumes of her ca
reer. These include a dinner frock
of georgette and pan velvet, ex-
tremely decollete and worn with a
bandeau holding a cluster of os-
trich plumes and a huge ostrich
feather fan; a chiffon and lace neg
ligee with tiny satin rosebuds as
the trimming; a street costume in
mannish style with a gilet of white
chamois; and an afternoon dress of
black and lace.

application. 1t Is one Of the duties OF
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt OF the
navy department, who, though he hnds
many volunteer assistants, Is always
hard pressed in his pursuit of suitable
names. The wife of President wilson
has now come to his aid with a list OF
names.
Mrs. Wilson is a descendant of 20
cahontas. The names she SUCCESS
may be calculated to spread terror
among the enemies Of America aioat.
They are taken from Indian history.
When an enemy vessel sees the Sin
namahoning approaching flying the
Stars and Stripes, the captain is likely
to think one of the devils Of the deep
is in pursuit. If the Sinnamahoning IS
followed by the Sisladobsis and the
Sisladobsis by the Skaneateles n the
Shawangunk-all names conferred py
the presidents wife-the enemy may
well believe that the day Of Legendary
sea terrors has returned.
Suppose, again, that the S~accarappa'
the Sagaporack, the Tobesofka n the
Tonganoxie were to sail forth together,
is there any power on the seas surface
or beneath that would court encounter
with such an photographed onslaught!
There is a warwhoop in every name.
If the Shickshinny does not Suggest
scalping. or the Shesheauin an ambush
it is because one is unfamiliar with In

have q friend-a young six-foot Of
fcer, powerful as q horse-at one OF
the environments in the far South, who
has a way of showing his men the need
for individual responsibility, Edward
Huncerford writes in E~perybody's
Magazine.
1t is his practice to skirmish around
the camp late at night and approach
the sentries, giving careless, indiffer-
ent, casually friendly replies to their
challenges. The sentry in his happy
go-lucky back country fashion, feels
that the stranger is not merely a
friend, but Of the environment. Then
200 pounds Of Drawn and muscle
land upon him; he feels an awful
blow in the pit of the stomach; his
gun is taken away from him, and he
finds himself sprawling on the ground
As soon as he can get his breath he
looks at his attacker and begins:
"What the
EXACTLY So" interrupts the officer,
"only If this really had been No Mans
Land and I a German scout you would
have been completely dead by this
time"

PESTS IMJURE LIVE STOCK
Screw-Worm and 3low-FIy Trouble
some to Stockmen in Different
Parts of Country.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Both the so-called Screw-worm n
the blow-fy larvae commonly called
maggots, are pests Of prime Importance
to stock raisers. The screw-worm IS
often confused with the other species,
especially during the spring n fall
months. Injury to live stock from mag
COTS is more widespread than is that
due to the true screw-worm. In fact,
this maggot injury may be founo
among live stock in any state of the
Union, although it occurs most ire
Quently in the warmer portions OF the
country. The true screw-worm lnflcts
enormous losses on the stock ralsers
of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA, and southern California during
seasons which are favorable for its
development. During the warmer por-
tons Of the year 1t is never entirely
absent from this region and may also
cause injury to stock in the other
Southern states, and as far north as
Nebraska.
The screw-worm is a motive Of the
Americas and has been causing trou'
BILE to stockmen for many years. No
doubt it is largely due to this fact
that cattlemen accept the pest as a
necessary evil and always count upon
"doctoring" q certain number Of cases
every year.
The seasonal abundance Of the
screw-worm fly depends largely upon
climatic conditions. The first ap-
pearance of adults in numbers In
spring varies from the first Of April
to the middle of June, according to the
latitude and earliness or leteness OF the
season Throughout most Of the ter
