Withdrawal of Troops
Must be First Step

If in the offer OF Prince Maximil-
ian, the new imperial chancellor, Ger
many is willing to accept these terms.
and the remainder of the world is sat-
isfled that he speaks not alone with
the military masters of Germany in
acquiescence, the next logical step
would be the withdrawal of every
German from every foot of occupied
territory. From that point the Al
lies might begin to test the sincerity
of Germany's willingness. to conform
to the world peace preserving pro-
gram.
No one in Washington even as
much as gives thought to any pro-
posal that the victorious troops of
Great Britain, France, Italy and the
United States should halt in an armis-
tice while discussion is conducted.
There might be an armistice of the
same nature as was given to Bulga-
ria, an armistice of unconditional sur
render.

Not Loo Tired 10 Einht

this:
Somewhat over a month ago a

"Thrty-six hours"
"'Then OF course they are too tired

"Not at all-they'l go right in"
"Can you stop the Germans?"
Certainly we can stop them"

RIGID RULES OF POLlTENEsS
Continental Countries Carry Forms Of
salutatlon and Courtesy to What
We Consider Extremes.

In all continental countries men lift
their hats when saluting one another.
1t is also customary for them to un-
cover their heads on entering any kind
or private premises, including OFFICES,
and In some parts even banks.
1t was, until recently, considered ex-
tremely rude for a man I'm Poland to
enter even shop without removing
his hat, and II was not unusual for
customer who omitted this formality
to be told that he would be attended
to when compliance with the demands
of politeness should entitle him to the
shopkeeper's consideration. 1t was
only few years before the war that
this practice came gradually to be
abandoned. The reform was largely
due to the action OF the more import
ant tradespeople In the principal
towns, who exhibited notices in their
shops saying, Gentlemen are request
ed not to remove their hats"
In Poland and Russia visitors are
expected to leave In the hall not only
their goloshes, but hat, coat, and stick
as well, no matter how short their stay.
Clients calling on professional men are
expected to do the same.

ScorpIo.

Scorpio Is a constellation and the
eighth sign OF the zodiac. The con-
stellntion Is conspicuous in early sum-
mer in the skies OF the southern Unit
ed States, where the whole OF the mag
nificent tail clears the horizon. With
the Chaldeans and Greeks It extended
over one sixth Of the planetary circle,
the Scorpion being represented with
exaggerated claws embracing a circu-
lar space where Libra is now placed.
From this irrcgularity 1t may be in.
ferrcd that the constellation Is older
than the zodiac, which was formed be-
fore 2OO0 b. G. Libra, though later, Is
of no small antiquity since it appears
in the Egyptian Zodiacs. It's adoption

GARMENT BADGE OF IDLENESS
Real Significance Of Joseph's "coat Of
Many Colors" May Not Be Gen.
orally Understood.

Do you know the real reason why
Joseph's brethren hated him and sold
him to a band of Ishmaelites and into
slavery, and after first deciding to
slay him?
You remember the story in Gene
sis-which, by the way, is the most in
teresting book I'm the Bible-that Jo-
3eph's father gave him a "coat Of
many colors."
The father did not give the other
brothers coats of many cOlors. for, as
stated in the story, he loved him more
than the others.
Now here is the real reason Joseph
was hated:
"a coat of many colors" of that
time, in the land of Canaan and ad-
Joining civilizations, was badge of
idleneSs.
The sleeves of a coat of many colors
came down almost to the finger tips
to indicate that the wearer did no
manual labor.
As late as the French revolution in
Europe, and even In our Colonial time
here In America, certain gentlemen
wore lace on their coat sleeves that
covered their hands, thereby indicat-
Ing that so far as they were con.
cerned there was nothing doing" in

Important Scientific Discovery.

The use of water holding fine sand
In suspension is a novel plan for sepa-
rating materials OF different specific
gravity. A chemical solution Of dem
sity somewhat greater than that OF the
lighter material has served In the
laboratory. but this has been CONNER
cially unsatisfactory on account OF the
cost Of the chemicals and the difficulty
OF removing them from the substances
separated. The mechanical mixture
containing sand held up In water by
agitation has been found to take the
place Of the true solution OF the same
density. 1t Is stated that with quartz
sand and water, coal may be freed
from its ordinary impurities, and mag.
netic iron ore sand gives fluid of
sufficiently high specific gravity to
float quartz, limestone and feldspar
while such heavy particles as those
Of galena ore or metallic copper may
be used for fluids to float off still heav.
