TOO EASILY LED BY WHIMS
Characteristic Even OF Men In High
Station That Is Not Productive
Of Good Results.

! Whlms are the rlvulets Of the mind
They sparkle over the shadows SC
that one Is not likely to see how
shallow they are. And yet good
deal Of this world, most Of 1t, per
haps, Is run by whims. We have
often been on the inside of the arena
OF national glory, as n spectator, of
course, and never failed to see n
whim or two on deck. This world is
not run by judgment or logic, but by
fancy and inclination. We have seen
great men, on the highest seats of
power In state and nation, flutter
like leaf In n breeze, not knowing
where to light
Judgments are not like geometrlcal
formulas, presenting solid conclu-
sion. They float In from everywhere,
from the last lunch, the last dance,
the last trip, the last speech, the last
opera, just as the mlsts float off Of the
hilltop, nothing solid or substantial to
them. But they awaken action and
purpose and in consequence society
lacks so much the texture of common
sense and real purpose. 1t rides on
fancy to some unseen port. What Is
needed In public life, In society, In pol
tiles. In religion, are men without
whims,-0hio State Journal.

POET MADE WAR HIS THEME
Washington Audience Somewhat Sur
prised That Masefield Couldn't
Spout His Own Verse.

The visit of John Masefield, poet and
soldier, to Washington recently at
tracted the attention Of scores of peo-
pie who have known him through his
tales of the sea and other stories In
verse form.
The auditorium was packed by the
hundreds who came to see what n
real, live poet looked like. The ma
tional capital, in 1918, may claim its
full share of sophistication In matters
political, but the visit Of poet is an
other thing
Several years ago Alfred Noyes, fel-
low Englishman of Masefeld, spoke
there, and people were delighted to find
him simple, frank, good-natured fel-
low who had all the earmarks of a
successful young business man.
So this time they wondered what
Masefield would be like. Would he
spout yards and yards of poetry from
memory He was scheduled to read
his poems.
Masefield talked about the war.
He had been through it, and talked
from personal experience. He said
scarcely word concerning his poems.
At the conclusion of his talk some
one insisted that he give them several
of his poems.
"Tll have to have q copy" he said,
simply.
FINALLY, after much search through
the audience, one lone copy of the book
needed was found.

ATHENA. OREGON, APRIL'12. 1918
HORSE MEAT IN NEW YORK
Although There Is Much Opposition to
Its Use as Human Food, the
Demand Increases.

1t Is now nearly two years since the
board of health lifted the ban on the
sale of horse meat In the effort to re-
duce the cost of living, observes the
Brooklyn Eagle. The introduction of
the food has been slow, but five shops,
two of them in Brooklyn, are now re-
ported to be advertising horse meat for
sale.
The demand for this cheap meat has
been increased by the wartime food
prices and some Of the butchers In
Manhattan who compete with the horse
meat stores are issuing circulars de-
nouncing the new food and stirring up
prejudice against 1t. Whether as a re-
suit of the circulars Is not clear, but
one of these horse-meat stores on First
avenue, Manhattan, has been attacked,
Its window having been smashed In on
two successive nights.
Neither the circulars nor the attacks
are likely to interfere with the spread
Of the demand for the new food. The
manager of the company which is intro
ducing 1t says that crowds are drawn
when he opens new store and that In
one case he had to call on the police to
keep order among his would-be Gus
toners. In cases Of food scarcity horse
meat has been eaten in many countries
The great prosperity Of the United
States has kept 1t out of our markets
heretofore, but the wartime scarcity
and high prices are likely to establish
1t as n regular part of the diet of peo.
pie who can't afford to pay for beef.
The objections to it are sentimental
and not hygienic, so that, as relief
from high prices, Its use Is to be well
coined.

Exhibit of Splder Webs.

Notwithstanding the fact that a
spider web is so fine and delicate that
unless covered with dust or sparkling
with dew 1t is almost invisible, the
American Museum of Natural History
is now displaying series Of these
webs, IL in number, so mout tied on
dark backgrounds as to be plainly WIS.,
ible. The spiral construction, WIDEN
ing gradually from the center outward,
is easily traced. The webs are accom-
panied by colored plates of the spiders
which spun them. Some spiders live
In the web they spin; others spend
only the nights there, hiding during
the day in retreats often some distance
away, with single thread leading to
the web. One of the larger spiders,
Aranea trifollum, for instance, spins a
thread from the center of its web to a
tent made Of leaves and silk. Sitting
in this tent the spider holds the thread
in such way that 1t knows when the
web is shaken by Its insect prey

Strength AppeaIs to Women.

Women are-or, should 1t be, have
been?-so bound by convention that 1t
may be the strain Of lawlessness that
ties, more or less deep, in us all, In
them manitests itself in admiration
for the men who have chosen to be
q law unto themselves.
Perhaps the real secret is woman's
love for strength, which, despite eman-
cipated protests, is the strongest in
stinct inherited from the cave woman
still rampant within her. Most wom-
ems favorite character in history is
Napoleon, not because he was great,
but because he was ruthless, and she
will always have more admiration for
q great soldier than a great poet un-
less his amours were specially notori-
Gus; but, unhappily, in any instance
she mistakes lawlessness for strength,
not being sufficiently experienced to
realize that only the bound are Free

To Reopen Algerian Oil Fields

The negotiations between the

group of interests in Paris and Lon
don for concession to exploit the pos
sibllities of the abandoned Algerian oil
fields are still proceeding. A contract
has been signed by the firm and the
governor general of Algeria, and now
awaits ratification by the French gov
ernment. An interesting feature of
this pending Anglo-French concern in
Algeria is the fact that French direc-
tors and capital will predominant, but
the French state will participate to the
extent of % per cert of the profits.
