Restricting German Activity.

Practically every Latin American
republic, with the exception of Sal
vador and Mexico, has made plain its
stand on the European war. The
center of German activity in Latin
America is currently reported to be
in Salvador, but that country is so
closely surrounded by republics which
have either declared their allegiance
to the allies, or have so plainly mani
Tested their sympathies, that German
agents in Salvador have been able to
do little except prepare safe places
on which similar agents, kicked out
of other Spanish republics, may alight.
First real steps against the pro-Ger-
man propaganda in Mexico were taken
in New Orleans in November, when
eight Mexicans, nominally represent
atives of the Felix Diaz revolutionary
party, were arrested.

Whist.

The number of all possible distribu-
lions of a pack of cards in the game
of whist, is 1904 quadrillions and
737, 765 trillions and 477,T92 billions
and 939, 237 millions and 100000. The
following illustration may give an idea
of the immensely of this number: If
on the entire surface of our globe,
inclusive of all mountains and oceans,
whist tables could be so placed that
each table together with the four play
ers should occupy no more space than
one square meter (39.37 square
inches), and if they should play whist
necessarily. each game consuming only
five minutes, it would require more
than thousand million years before
every possible distribution of the 81
cards could be realized.

Expert, 1t Bids Fair to Be-
come Permanent.

Woman's invasion of industry bids
fair to put crimp in the marriage
lists, according to some information
which has recently been gathered by
the department of labor.
1t has long been an accepted fact
about women as workers that their av-
erage working life is only five years,
and seldom exceeds seven. This work
ing period was considered to be merely
an interlude between school and mar
riage.
These late Investigations have put a
decidedly new face on the matter.
Whether it is because women are be-
coming more fond of freedom or be-
cause the rewards of industry are for
them becoming higher or because OF
the rising price of keeping house or
the growing reluctance of the male to
marry, the fact remains that many
women are found who have had ten or
more years of Industrial experience
and still show no tendency to wed.
Then, too, that versatile woman who
both marries and holds her Job is on
the increase. It is to be hoped that
she, rather than the bachelor working
woman, is the coming type. But the
significant thing is that the majority
OF women now entering industry are
entering to stay.
Since the war women have been
pouring into industries that formerly
employed only men; the number of
women In industry has increased by
one million during the past year. Wom-
en- are running elevators, clerking in
drug and grocery stores, carrying tele-
grams, operating wireless instruments,
driving trucks making munitions, and
freight in railroad yards. All
these things they are performing eff
GENTLY albeit so complacentIy, that
people are already beginning to con
slider the industrial status of woman
after the war. AS an important and
permanent figure in our industrial life,
she requires special study.-Frederic
J. Harkin, in Rochester Union and Adj
Vertiser.

Where Civilization Started.

The lacustral settlements were
places of refuge for a pastoral and
agricultural people and the light and
dryness that characterized the dwell
ings show step in advance toward
more permanent abodes. In this pc
Rod science places the beginning of
civilization.
By these lacustrine men spinning
and weaving were invented. Agricul-
ture was born among them; animals
were domesticated-the OK, the cow,
the sheep, the goat, the dog. The
uses of metal were discovered and the
age of iron was ushered in.
Habitations similar to these still ex-
list in the East Indies and among the
American tribes of Maracaibo. They
existed also in Lake Prasias, in
Thrace, during the time of Herodotus,
the Greek historian.

noy oatapuIt Launches Planes.

In devising a thoroughly practical
apparatus for launching scouting air
craft from ships at sea the navy de-
partment has achieved one Of the most
notable results In the art of military
aeronautics. Capt. Washington l.
Chambers blazed the way for this rev.
pulmonary stride in aeronautics.
The experimental apparatus was
mounted upon a float at the Washing
ton navy yard, where. for the first
time in the history Of aviation. flying
machine was actually hurled into the
air after an extraordinarily brief run
of something like forty feet, and given
such speed at the instant of its release
as to keep it afioat in the air until it'
engine was spinning fast enough tt
furnish the sustaining Impulse.
What was equally remarkable was
that the catapult gathered speed II
that short distance so smoothly thai
the aviator was not thrown from hi'
seat nor was his craft strained in thu
least.

Real Purpose of the State.

The ultimate purpose, Of the state
IS not to rule men, to keep them in
fear, to subject them to the will of
others, but, on the contrary, to allow
each as far as possible to live in Sc
curity, that is, to preserve for each
his natural right to live without harm
to himself or to his neighbor. No, l re-
peat, the object of the state is not to
transform reasonable beings into ami
mails or automata; it's object is to en-
able the citizens to develop in security
their bodies and their minds, freely to
employ their reason. The true end of
the state, therefore. is liberty
