GOD AS WE SEE HIM

That heaven is a kind of General

Dawson, lieutenant with the Canad-
ian Field Artillery, explains the relig-
ion of the trenches-for he says there
is religion there He writes in the
current Good Housekeeping:
when we think of God, we think
of Him in just about the same way
that a Tommy in the front.line thinks
of Sir Douglas Haig. Heaven is a
kind of General Headquarters. All
that the Tommy in the front-line
knows Of an offensive is that orders
have reached him, through the ap-
pointed authorities, that at zero hour
he will climb out of his trench and
go over the top to meet a reasonable
chance OF wounds and death. He
doesn't say, I don't know whether l

GTLF STREAM SAID TO
HAVE CHANGED IT'S COURSE
(By Associated Press.l

Paris, March 6.-Reports that the
gulfgulf stream has gone on the ram
page has again set scientists specu-
lating upon the effect such a change
would have upon the climate Of west
ern Europe. The news is said to
come this time from the captains of
military transports. The Oceanogra-
phic Institute has no knowledge Of a
deviation of the gulf current but is
unable to either confirm or deny the
report since its researches have been
interrupted since the beginning of the
war.

him first. If | agree with him, after
that | may go over the top-and then
again l may not. Well see about it,
Instead, he attributes to his Com
mander-in-Chief the same patriotism,
love of duty, and courage which he
himself tries to practise He believes
that If he and Sir Douglas Haig were
to change places, Sir Douglas Haig
would be quite as willing to sacrifice
himself. He obeys; he doesn't Ques-
ton
That's the way every Tommy and
officer thinks Of God-as a Command
err Chief whom he has never seen,
but whose orders he blindly carries
out.
"The religion Of the trenches Is not
religion which analyses God with
impertinent speculation. It isn't re-
ligion which takes up much of His
time It's a religion which teaches
men to carry on stuotly and to say:
I've tried to do my bit as best l know
how. guess God knows it II I go
west today, He'll remember that-re-
member how never let pal down
and how | played the game. So
guess He'll forget about my sins
and take me to HIMSELF
THAT is the simple religion of the
trenches as have learned ia relig-
ion not without glory: to carry on as
bravely as you know how, and to
trust God without worrying Him"

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER

Mrs. Henry P. Dawson treasurer of
the War Work Council of the Y. w.
&c, A., tells in the current Good
Housekeeping Of the practical war
work that that organization is accom-
plishing. She cites the following in
cident as an illustrating:
in an Illinois prairie town lives d
widow who launders seventeen bas-
kets Of wash week and every night
thanks God for having put pity into
the hearts Of women. To her came
one day a letter from her only son.
He was then at Camp Funston, Kan
sas, learning to be a soldier. The
letter begged her to come and see
him before he was sent to France.
"The mother opened the tin bank
in which she had been boarding her
dimes and quarters against this day.
The money was scarcely enough. New
ertheless she started. She walked
the first eighteen miles. Then her
strength gave out, and she took a
train.
"She did not know that visitors to
Camp Funston stay in Junction City,
eleven miles away. So she got off
the train at Fort Riley. An officer
set her right and she reached juno
ton City after dark. Somehow she
found rooming house. Some one
there stole five dollars from her-fve
of the precious dollars she had earned
lover the washtub and saved by walk
ing. Terror-stricken, she crept out
of the house when no one was look
ling.
Later in the night soldier found
her trembling In the street, and took
her to the rooms of the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association, rooms
which the War Work Council had
opened as a clearing house for trou-
bles The poor frightened woman
was put to bed, but she was too mis-
cradle to sleep. The matron got up
at daybreak, built fire, and COM
forted her. The sons commanding
officer was reached by telephone ear
ly in the morning, and the boy came
to his mother on the first trolley-car
he could catch.
1.-THE two spent long, low-voiced
hours together perhaps the last
hours they will have this side of
heaven. Every moment was as prec,
ious as month had been last year
The old lady had still one present
worry. The boys bad cold might
turn into pneumonia if she left him.
But she had not money enough to stay
another night and buy a ticket home
When the matron told her that her
bed was free, she broke down and
cried and cried.
"T did not know there was so
much pity left in the world" she
sobbed.
"She stayed till her boys cold was
better Then she went back to her
seventeen washings and her mem
cries"

If there is such a thing as compensation for injury, sickness or pain on this earth it is here that it can be found.

 Modern medicine and surgery have not only progressed in methods and in skill and in knowledge and in ap- pliances from the old school, but they have progressed in methods as well. Beautiful and cheering quarters are now a part of the system of healing in every first class hospital.

GRAND CANYON REQUIRES NUMBER
 OF DAYS REALLY ID SEE WONDERS

Grand Canyon could only be made as comfortable to live in as it is to stop in. and if it's innumerable details were made comfortably accessible. Many visitors eat breakfast on the train coming and spend the succeeding night on the train going; they have "seenV the Grand Canyon in between. The excellent hotel, SO charming to live in. if people would only live in it.. almost suggests the hurry of crowd ed street, so rushed is it with the wis itors of a single night.
 But, after all. there are two good reasons why the visiting public should not be charged with lack of apprecia- tion. One is this general precOncep- ton that the Grand Canyon is a one or two days spectacle. The other is that the private interests which have built the trails and otherwise planned the manner in which the public shall see it have adopted the same idea; it is natural that they should not invest more money in roads and trails than just enough to take care of the busi- ness that naturally offers. A man who, after he has spent one day on that part of the rim which is develop ed and one day going to the bottom of the canyon, finds that further ex- ploration involves expensive special equipment and special guides, and that the canyon floor is unprOvided with good lateral trails or more than the one camp; in other words. he who plans an undertaking which resembles an expedition. must possess enthusi- asm and a pOeketboOk beyond the us ual.
 Artists and leisurely travellers some times do this, but it is out of the ques- tion for the great body of busy Ameri- cans. Their turn will come when the Grand Canyon becomes a national park and is studied and developed for the special purpose of making it's in finite treasures comfortably accessible to all. Meanwhile it is unreasonable to expect private interests to do more for the public than they find profita- ble.
 Those who have lived with rather than glanced at the Grand Canyon. be- come increasingly moved by its glO- ries. It has inspired more literature and art than all the other scenic places of America combined. It is the center of a steadily increasing pilgrimage of painters. It perhaps may be said that the Grand Canyon and the region of which it is the climax. inspire the highest as we'll as certainly the most extensive expression of landscape art in America today.
 An interesting example of the way the Grand Canyon gets" those who live a little with it is found in the technical. and to most of us the in comprehensible. reports of the govern ment tOpographers and geOlOgists who studied it for years. Apparently in spite of themselves. these men tO whom rocks and canyons are the grim business of life. often interrupt their dry technical pages by brief bursts of enthusiasm not inspired in the least by science. but by the pure emotion of sublimity.

UNIVERSITY STUDIES
 MAKE EXPLOSIVES

Many of the courses at the Univer- sity of Arizona have been somewhat modified as a result of. the war. and this is notably true in the case of those offered by the Department of Chemistry of which Dr. F. N. Guild is the head. Thus. in the regular course in organic chemistry trinitro-toluol, or TINT, as it is more familiarity known, has been prepared by students. This is probably the most important high explosive used in the present war, and a Knowledge of the method Of manufac ture is not only of great interest to the student, but it may also be very useful to him if he engage in chemical services for the government.
 Like many other high explosives, TINT requires a detonator or fulmi- nate cap to set it off It is said that rifle ball may be fired through a box containing this substance without it's exploding, and it is therefore as safe to handle and to prepare in the labor atory as the other products commonly synthesized there. This explosive is manufactured from toluol. a by-pro- duct of gas works; and MT. Everett M. York. an expert in gas by-products, has been Investigating in Dr. Guilds laboratory the possibility of securing toluol from the local gas works.
 Other important products that the students have learned to make this year are several of the synthetic drugs and five important anilin dyes.

builded in such fashion by the genius of the architect as to comprise forty two rooms. Its corridors are broad and stately and its windows are its glory.
 To the newspaper man, the operat- ing room and the nurses rest room (solarium is it's technical and proper name) beth on the third floor, are the most wonderful rooms in the building. The operating room takes in all of the north end of the building, thus having light and air from over a score of win dows on three sides. And as though this was not enough, it has a new cir cle electric light system installed over the tables. Pla glass and white en- amel comprise its entire interior dec orations. High ceiling, generous floor space and every device known to sur gical science, reinforce the surgeons here in their efforts. Dressing rooms. bath rooms, linen closets. halls and ante rooms open into it. And most in teresting of all is the room where the instruments are steriliZed by hot wat CT and steam, Everything is automat- ic. The surgeon touches nothing with his hands.
 Among the many appliances and in venticns of modern surgery is little circular bone saw run by small but powerful electric motor that is noth- ing less than a mechanical marvel.
 The nurses rest room takes up the entire south end of the third floor and its decorations, furniture and ar engagement form the acme of good taste, convenience and beauty. liar " R. Bledsoe, the doctors brother, of Los Angeles, attended to all the de
