This VIII Cnmfnrt You

Fearing that perhaps the public will
not know the precise character of the
white substance now covering the
earth In large quantities, we hasten to
explain that 1t is snow, or, in French,
neige; in German, schnee; In Dutch,
sneeuw; in slavonic, snelg; in Italian,
neve.
In small quantities II is harmless and
beautiful. In amounts such RS are at
present with us, 1t defes description
in polite language. Snow, nelge,
sneeuw, ETC., etc, Is water-vapor con-
densed from the atmosphere and pre-
cipitated upon this already troubled
earth in frozen and crystalline con-
ditlon. The article we know as snow
is produced when the process of con-
densation and fall occurs in temper
ature below 80 degrees.
We might add, by way of making
this explanation complete and clear,
that the crystals vary greatly In form
and belong to the hexagonal system.
They are formed upon q nucleus in
the same way as a raindrop.
This, we feel, ought to make GER
tain recent events and present condi-
tions much easier to bear.-Clncinnat

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 II 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
it as regular part of the diet of peo-
pie who can't afford to pay for beef.
The objections to 1t ark sentimental
and not hygienic, so that, as n relief
from high prices, its use is to be wei.

Camp Dix, y. ]. has made another
stride toward finer democracy Of the
National army by recognizing the elm
ination of social distinctions that
in the old army formed a barbed-wire
barrier between the enlisted personnel
and commissioned officers. Time was
when the private or noncommissioned
officer who essays to attend an officers
function was virtually guilty Of lese
majeste. In the new citizen army
there has always been more fellowship
between rank and file than was ever
found In former American military or
ganizations, but 1t has remained for
tho headquarters detachment Of the
camp to go q step further and arrange
n dance in which officers and enlisted
men may meet on equal social ground.
The affair. held in Engineers Hall. Is
described as a brilliant success. The old
idea that any officer participating In
such an event would lose cast In the
eyes of his men has apparently been
destroyed. II the social mingling. has
made any change In the attitude OF en-
listed men toward their superior Of
ficers, 1t has created finer respect.
There Is an even more studious atten-
ton to recognition of rank that mill
tary decorum demands and with 1t
goes a finer spirit Of cooperation all
along the line.

Somebody Who Had Record OF
Service.
We think that Governor Manning
has made o number OF, miSta| a|Gaas s2InGa
pointrnent of Christie Benst, Esd. to
serve out the unexpired term Of Sena-
tor B. r. Tillman. Not that we have
anything against Mr.. Benet. but he is
young man, practicing law In the
city Of Columbia, and II he has ever
done anything for the state of South
Carolina we have never heard OF It,
while we have a number OF men who
have sacrificed themselves for the
good of the commonwealth at n time
when the state needed such help.
These men are just as capable as
young Mr.. Benet, and we believe In
rewarding people for services per-
formed when. the opportunity offers.
We wish to say right here that from
what we know of young Benet. he
will probably represent the state Of
South Carolina In as able manner as
either OF the gentlemen referred to.
and his patriotism has not, so far as
we know. been questioned, but these
other men have done something
which was of value to the state.
while Mr.. Benet. 1t is said, has been
the legal adviser OF the governor
since he has been in office.
Although the Piedmont section of
the state Of South Carolina was n
large factor in bringing about the
election of Governor Manning in
both elections in which he was nomi-
mated. he has, IN making his various
appointments to office. In almost
every case ignored this section and
has given these appointments to those
who live In and below Columbia. 1t
may be that there are none COM
petent In this section to f1ll these Of
fees. in which event the governor did
the proper. thing to go elsewhere for
material, but unless that was the
case, he should have distributed these
appointments all over the state, for
he made the statement from more
than one platform when he was a cam
didate for Office, that II elected he
would be the governor Of all the peo-
pie, and would deal In absolute fair
ness with his constituency.-Gaffne
