Scientist Has Suggested That Method
Of Sound May Be Employed With
Good Results.

Three-quarters Of the earth's sur
face Is submerged and has not yet been
explored to any great degree, Alexan-
der Graham Bell writes in the Youths
Companion. The only way we have OF
reaching the mountains and valleys at
the bottom Of the sea is by sending
down a sounding line and bringing up
a specimen Of the bottom attached to
the sinker. 1t is not easy, however. to
reach the bed Of the sea through q
mile or two miles Of water and 1t re-
qulres several hours to take single
sounding. 1t is therefore expensive
both in time and in labor to ascertain
the depth of the ocean.
Why not send down sound instead
and listen to the echo from the bot
tom? Knowing the velocity Of sound
in water (five times It's velocity IN at)
and the time taken for the echo to
reach the ear, we should be able to as
certain the depth of the deepest part
Of the ocean In few seconds.
Here is an idea that would certainly
appear to be worth trying. I have sug-
gested 1t several times, but l do not
know that 1t has ever been acted upon.
The experiment might reveal not only
the depth Of the ocean, but something
Of the nature Of the bottom. A Nat
bottom should give single sharp re-
turn, whereas an undulating bottom
should give multiple echo, such as
you hear when a pistol Is Aired among
hills. Many important conclusions
might be drawn from the facts so OBJ

A TUB FOR TEN.

1t develops that there is bath tub
in Burlington for every ten people. 1t
is proposed that the shower baths in
the schools equipped with this luxury,
or what is now deemed a necessity,
be thrown open in a systematic man
rer to the populace living in the
school district both young and old
The idea Is u good one and one that
will meet with popular favor. There
is no reason why the bathing facilities
in the new schools should not be util-
lied. And the schools that now have
no bathing appurtenances should be
equipped at once
All of which recalls the time when
the local bath tub ratio was closer to
one for every 900 and where the wood
en- washt1Ib was freely utilized beside
the kitchen stove OF a Saturday night
by the various members Of the family.
And perhaps YOU can bark back to the
time when a tub Of cistern water was
placed in the hot sun Of a SUNNI r
day to give it the proper temperature
for the bath. And you appreciated

EXTENDING rHE DRAFT.

Senator A. B. Cummings, Of Iowa,
has introduced resolution looking
toward the enlargement Of the draft
upward, to take in men up to the age
Of As. He says that UP to the age Of
35, at least, many men would be found
who would make excellent soldiers,
and that there is no justice in leaving
the whole burden of fighting to rest on
the men between the ages Of 81 and
81.
Senator Cummins believes that 1t is
better that the man of 81 who has no
dependents should go into the army
than to take the man Of 70 who has a
family; and his view OF this matter
will be endorsed by practically every
one except, possibly, q few who may
be personally affected by it,
AS we see it the most practical way
of reli ewing the labor situation on the
farm is to enlarge the draft upward
and take in the millions OF men be-
tween the ages of 81 and IS, using
them either in tho army or in some OF
the industries necessary to the war
This will make 1t unnecessary to call
so many men from the farms, who are
needed there to provide tor our allies
as we'll as for our armies and our
selves.
This is var of all the people and
for all the people, and all should have
a part in it.

ARCHBISHOP John J. ksANE.

John J. Keane was more than a
prelate, more than an archbishop in
the church. He was force for right
eousness, a leader Of reform in Iowa
and friend to mankind His influ-
ence carried far beyond the power Of
his pallium. It found its way to the
communicates e other churches than
his own and was powerful among
those who own allegiance TO no church
at all.
In the matter of temperance reform
the influence Of few men in Iowa have
equalled his None had been more con-
sistently and sincerely operative.
fKeane was a zoe to the liquor traffic
because he was a friend to man. Pri-
vately, and as prelateNin the church,
he steadfastlv opposed 1t and as a
prelate he did not hesitate to use his
conferred power and influence against
it. Later estimates Of the value Of
mems lives TO the world are based. not
on titulary horors but on their atti-
tude toward the progress OF the age
they lived in and upon their accom-
plishment. Time leaves only the
granite and atcel Of mems lives. From
that which andures later generations
recreate the man who was and moth
ing endures but plishment that
includes the welfare or the woe of
mankind. Men are remembered long
only in love or in fear; in respect or
dishonor; for their service or their
sins.
keane grew old in honor and in SER
vice. He will be remembered thus and
the final history of temperance re-
form in Iowa would not be history
lacking prominence to the name of
Arch bishop John j. keane.

REDUCING DELIVERIES s.

One movement which is no longer to
be dismissed or neglected by merchants
is the question of reducing deliveries.
1t must be done and will be done either
thru voluntary action Of the merchants
themselves or by governmental order.
So far the government has asked-but
that the request will soon be made
mandatory is certain.
One delivery a day is enough to one
home. That is the concensus of opinion
1t is enough.
Further it is evident that this de-
| livery may be made by a union de-
livery at less cost of man power. with
less gasolene and with greater salts
faction to merchants and public in gen.
eral than by private deliveries.
1t is question purely for the ner-
chant to solve If it Is to be solved
voluntarily. Competition and desire to
give service have increased deliveries
to a ridiculous extent even in peace.
If this service is to be limited by VOL
untary action the merchants must take
it. They should take it and at once.
The retailers of Marshall county
hove worked splendidly with the food
administration. There is no doubt if
their patriotic willingness to do the
right thing. It Is not to be assumed
that the householders their customers
are less patriotic and willing. The way
to make one delivery daily and save
labor and expense is to step to it and
decide it. A week afterward every
ripple will have subsidized.
The purchasing public has a duty in
this movement. 1t must assist it by
willing conformity. If not the prospect
| is for a somplete carry" system.
Get at it and settle it.

CAN WE DO IT?
burlington Hawkeye.]


The fourth liberty loan will call for
at least six billions of dollars. There
will be some shaking OF heads. There
will be some questioning, as to whether
we can do this thing or not. 1t Is not,
that those, who ask the questions Will
be less active in the campaign, after 1t
shall have been begun. But they are
Of the kind, who ask questions, who
want to feel sure, that they are right,
and that they can accomplish what
they set out to do.
1t means $50 per capita. Sixty dollars
for every man, woman and child IN the
land. Can we do it? There Is never q
doubt. that it can and will be done. In
fact, now that the work has been
systematized, that the workers have
been welded into an effective organi-
zation, and have been thoroughly
drilled, it ls going to be easier to raise
those six billions In October, than IT
was to raise four billions a month or
six weeks ago. The thing will be done
with less hard work, and will be done
more swiftly, than was the case with
the third liberty loan.
You remember the experience OF the

small weights and eventually proved
able to handle enormous weights.

SHIPS AND BEER AND THE WAR.

The assertion that elimination Of in
toxicants would cause "a drop Of 25 per
cept in thine output of the ship yards
fails to gain ready acceptance in states
where booze is hard to get and beer
even harder. The concensus Of testi-
mony from manufacturers in these
states Is to the effect that elimination
Of drinking places results in from 10
to 80 per cent efficiency over.
However it is probably true that to
cut off the berry workman's beer would
result in some loss not in his ability to
do more and better work without 1t
but from resentment. AS matters still
stand he can work building ships or
quit. He can slack on the job If he
desires and his resentment on to delay
in the work.
But we do not find it so in the army
aand navy. Among those enlisted men
and officers are thousands who previous
to their enlistment or induction into
the army were as FUSED to their beer as
the workmen who is to fall down to
IS per cent of his efficiency without it.
But there has been no falling off in the
efficiency Of the soldiers and the sail
ors. They are delivering the real goods
periodically and bravely.
While we are extending the draft
ages and pinching down on exemptions
we might go farther it seems and draft
men for the ship building. Shipbuild-
ing is as necessary as any one other
war activity to the winning Of the war
Surely if the soldier may be drafted
to his deadly service at $40 month il
would not be unreasonable to draft
workers at high wages to build the
ships upon which the soldiers must de-
pend for transportation and for the
food they must have to subsist or
while they fight the battles Of the high
