"The secretary of state is pretty busy" remarked Senator Norris of Nebraska, but as compared with the burdens which have been placed by law upon the shoulders of the secre- tary of the treasury, the burdens of the secretary of state are inflnitesi- mal."
 Further along in the discussion Nor ris remarked that the secretary of the treasury was having his own way and a motion to change a provision in a pending bill could not prevail, be cause we have got into the habit of doing things according to the rules approved by the secretary of the treas ury, and I suppose that we will con tinue along that line"

Changed conditions in the Southern states as regards agriculture came up for comment during consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill. and it was pointed out that the South was now Self-supporting in the way of rais- ing foods, while only short tine ago 1t had to buy q large quantity of it's foods from the North and West. The time was In the South when they had three great staples cotton, cane and tobacco, and regarded other agricul turai products as rather incidental But now the South produces wheat corn, potatoes, vegetables and fruits and in the meat line. cattle. hogs and chickens.
 During the discussion Senator VII liams of Mississippi gave as one req son for the change the offering of prizes at county fairs, and gave indi- vidual instances of how corn clubs had been organized and boys had been engaged in intensive farming While that has helped some, the real reason for the changed agricultural conditions in the South. 1t was brought out. is the failure of some crops. the possibil- lty of losses on staples. and the propa- ganda which has been carried on by the agricultural department for many years pointing out the advantages of diversified farming and also showing Southern farmers that their soils were good for something besides few Nt,,y aInt T

Congressman Webb of North Caro- lima, chairman of the judiciary com mittee. became the sponsor of a bill which has appeared In many forms during the last ten years, usually in- troduced ''by request" indicating that the member introducing it did not care to father it, and which shows the per sistence of one particular individual. Many years ago 1t may have been quarter of century. man began be- sieging congress to secure the estab- liShment of bureau for the study of criminal. pauper and defective classes. Tn one form or another the bill has been presented in every congress and at times n considerable amount of ar gument has been printed in it's favor. It is rather remarkable that this bu- reau has not been created, for 1t seems 10 be about the easiest thing in the world to create bureau with salary list attached. The Webb bill provides that the chief of the bureau shall re-
 ceive salary of only S4,OO0, and the clerical force brings the total sum up to only $10,000. The man who has been behind this scheme all these years ought to know it would be difficult to get 8 t,reau established with a meas ly $10000 If he had made it S50.O00 or S100.0O0, he might have had some chance of getting it through congress.

Concrete ships can be built much
more quickly than either steel or
wooden ships. while uaskilled labor
can be utilized for their construction.

The estimated cost of building

ship about $3.50 a ton complete. Con-
crete ships would cost about 800

For Inland Waterways.
One of the greatest obstacles to the
waterways in the United States has
been the absence of proper terminal
arrangements at ports and harbors.
Another potent drawback has been the
lack of sufficient tugs and barges.
Concrete tugs and barges will meet
the situation. and plans have been
made for their construction. Two
barges are to be placed on the Erie
canal. and later twenty others. each
of 500 tons capacity. will be in opera
tion on that body of water. The Navy
Department has let contracts for
twelve concrete barges for use in
harbors. The War Department will
soon receive proposals for the build
ing of from one to twenty-five tug
boats of wood or reinforced concrete.
With plenty of concrete tugs and
barses, the shipping board points out,
a vast Improvement in transportation
will be witnessed. Many non-perish-
able products which hitherto have
largely been carried on railroads and
at n great delay. in many instances,
will move without interruption by
water.

Activity Of Psychologists
One Of the Youngest Of Sciences Is Of Especial
Aid to the Government

Psychology. one OF the youngest OF the sciences, but nevertheless one
equipped with standardized methods Of experimental procedure, i steadily
answering the call 20 the colors Eminent scientists from almost every field
OF knowledge have been summoned Ito give expert advice or 10 render contnu-
ous service a commissioned officers in the army. SO heavy has been the levy
that several of the Eastern universities have been compelled to cancel all their
courses in psychology other institutions are offering only a bare minimum OF
courses. The University OF Illinois has been morefo fortunate In this respect.
While several of Its psychologists have been called away. the work Of the de-
parment is pursuing a nearly normal course.
Capt Madison Bentley OF The department OF psychology has for some time
been president of the Cleveland aviation board. Ills work consists mainly In
selecting aviators and examining them for color blindness certain spatnl per-
ceptons, dizziness and general mental capacity Prof. q. NJ whIpple has also
been asked to assist in formulating suitable mental tests for the selection OF
drafted mn aud for lei In special lines OF training.
In addition to the recognition OF necessary abilities for the service prob
lens concerned with the locanzaton OF sounds In the air, discrimination of pro-
ject1es by sound, and the effects of high attitudes upon the memory ire being
worked out Prof. Christian Ruckmck, also Of the University OF Illinois, i
serving upon tho committee for iocnlzaIon OF sounds coming from any point
In the air, under water OF. in the ground. Since few people have a sensitive
ear to determine the position OF nm enemy gun by noting the sound Of the pro-
jectne In its course, apparatus is being worked out for such detection.
Work In the environments consists In the apprehending Of mental detectives
and In noting special aputudes of the men. In this way much waste OF time
and money for special training an be eliminated. Psychological problems OF
incHpacry sheLshock and reeducauon occupy the attention IF another com
mittee, and collaborating with them is a group Of psychologists who are study
ing problems of vocational guidance and advice. stl another group has nj

0'Connor Cites History In
Connection With Troubles
Of the People OF Ireland

II the Irish rebellion had not been
followed by Its sequel II would have
been by this time forgotten and con-
demned by the vast majority OF the
Irish people; but. nj n matter OF fact,
writes T. =. O'Connor In Cartoons
Magazine, when the rebellion was put
down by one OF those extraordinary
blunders so often committed In the
management Of Ireland by England,
dictntorial powers were given into the
hands OF n soldier Of not particularly
marked intelligence. He declared he
was going to put down sedltlon and re-
belllon In Ireland forever. Well, II
he had read my Irish history he
would have known that that had been
said for six centuries. He then pro
ceeded, In secrecy, In the darkness OF
cells, convlcting on evidence not yet
published, these unfortunate young
men, and then taking them out In
patches In the cold, bleak morning and
executing them In the back yard OF n
Jail. One OF them vas so severely
wounded that he had to have planks
put on each side Of the chair on which
he had TO sit while he was being shot.
All these executions produced n pro-
fou.d revulsion Of feeling In Ireland
and In America.
Now, that Is the beginning Of the
trouble In Ireland. If you read history
you will find that there has never been
anything 80 incnlculnble In Its effects

Kite Balloons Form Very

"The observation balloon has been

who continues:
"Its value IN indicated by the rapid
growth OF both personnel and craft.
II Is found today on every front, and
almost every mile OF that front. for the

Captain Won SlRsfeld and Major Won
Parseval OF the German army, and
the craft was constructed by the Par
sevnl Alrshlp company. The British
army got It's first idea Of the kite bal

the excellent service It was giving the

"As then constructed by the British,

and therefore more accurate In obser-

"rhe great success of the first craft

British naval authorities made expert
ments with them on ships az sea,
More and more urgent grew the de-
mand from both branches OF the serv-
ice, until today kite balloons form an
important part OF both naval and mil
itury forces.
