London dispatches bring the out
lines of the wonderful speech which
Premier Lloyd George recently deliv-
cred before the trades unions on the
subject of the wars aims, from the
standpoint of Great Britain and her
allies.
Having arrived at the most critical
hour OF the war, we ought to be able
to state clearly and definitely not only
the principles Tor which we are tight
ing, says the premier, but their defin-
ite application to the war map of the
world.
"A single phrase epiteme of the speech
may be stated in these werds: Inter-
national peace body and disarmament.
Lloyd George holds these two points
to be vital. All of his speech centered
around restoration OF those provinces
which Germany mas taken by force

RAISE MISCHIEF WITH WIRES
Remarkable Eject Of Aurora Roreaiis
on the Telegraph Wires 81
the Country.

When the aurora borealis. or north
ern lights" pay Us visit there is
trouble on all the telegraph and tele-
phone hines. The reason for this
seems to be that the aurora borealis,
which Is really an unusual electric
emanation from the sun, sets up abb
normal earth currents. The strength
Of these currents has been measured
many times and found to have a poten-
tial varying between 425 volts positive
and 223 volts negative and a resist
ance Of about 1900 ohms.
Donald AcNicol. assistant electrical
engineer Of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, who has given much study to
this subject, made an Official report in
1892, quoted IN the Electrical Expert
menter, In which he described the ef-
fects Of earth currents on the ten At
tantic cables then In existence, Most
affected was that from Brest to Aique-
Ion island. AID the disturbances wore
greater ut the. western than at the
end. 90 that often st. Pierre
seouid send messages to Brest but could
not receive any. s.y,
Long cables were more affected than
short, onsA southerly ones more than

rents are 50 strong that they injurs the

in their nature and behavior.

Yellow Gasoline as Good a. White.

II motorists realized that their preju-
dice against yellowish gasoline was un-
warranted the gasoline supply might be
Increased considerably. In the early
days Of the oil industry poor refining
methods were responsible for the pro-
duction Of yellowish kerosenes and
gasolines, which were sometimes dan
gerous. This led the public to demand
that gasoline be water white" and the
prejudice has hindered the develop
ment Of cracking processes which pro-
duce perfectly safe gasoline with a
slightly yellowish tinge.
Another handicap in the industry, &C
cording 10 petroleum experts, Is the
necessity for refners treating gasoline
with sulphuric acid and caustic soda
to remove unsaturated hydrocarbons,
which have high fuel value in an e1-
plosion engine. 1t is estimated that
there is a loss Of S10,0OO,0OO a year in
the United States through these preju-
dices, represented by 100000 gallons
Of gasoline, $4,000 tons of sulphuric
lcid and $500 tons of caustic soda.

Bows ut Girls School.

Z The Instructors in the branch Of the
Girls Industrial school, which meets
at the Flanner Guild, were surprised
when the school opened a few weeks
ago to And a class Of boys ready and
anxious to begin work.
"Don't you understand this school Is
for girls onIy?" asked one OF the teach
efs.
Yes, we heard that but what's the
dIfferencet We want to learn to sew"
The teachers were in quandary,
but finally decided to give the boys
their FIRST lesson with the needle; but
the sight Of the boys sewing caused
the girls much merriment and made so
much confusion that 1T was decided to
bar them.
They appeared the next Saturday
however. and begged so hard to be
taken In that they are now regular fix
lures. The work they do Is equal to
that Of the girls, and the teachers are
proud Of them. They take more than
the usual amount of interest and spend
all of the time they are In school at
wOrk.-Indianapolis News.

: Playing the Man.

No matter what part he may be
playing In the strenuous game of life
as 1t Is presented today, the brother
hood man. above all others, must play
the man. These are times when the
best that Is In US must be given to
carry on" and the race run with
steadfastness and manly purpose.
As Robert l.. Stevenson so beautifully
puts It: whether we regard life as
line leading to dead wall-a mere
bags end, IS the French say-or
whether We think Of it as q vestibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our turn
and prepare our facilities for some
more noble destiny; whether We thun-
der In pulpit or pule Ia little esthetlc
poetry books about its vanity and brey-
ity, whether we look justly for years
Of health and vigor, or are about to
mount into bath chair, as step to-
wards the hearse; In each and all of
these views and situations there Is but
one conclusion possible that a man
should stop his ears against paEaly-
sing terror and run the race that Is
set before him with a single mind"
