A bulletin issued by the Indiana
state council of defense explains the
"glass in the bread" scare as follows:
"Corn flour under the microscope
shows many hard. Finty pieces of the
eLdosperm (germ), which have a very
CLASSY appearance. When baked in a
quick oven some of these particles re-
tain their gIassiike appearance, tho in
the ordinary process of baking this
appearance is lost. This is the expla-
nation given by experts employed by
the international Union of Bakers and
Confectionery Workers. In bran
Hours a nervous person might easily
fancy that particles of the hard outer
husk were glass. And dextrine some
tunes solidifies into a hard, transpar-
ent mass, which might be mistaken
for glass. The natural conclusion is
that most of to people who reported
having found glass in their bread were
deceived by the appearance of the

PILING UP A SURPLUS.

The house ways and means commit
tee is industriously combing the coun-
try's resources in an effort to find ma
teriaI from which can be collected an
annual tax of $4,000, 100000. This
action is based on the treasury's esti-
mate of expenses amounting to s24,-
900. 100000 for the next fiscal year.
In the opinion of Senator Reed
Smoot of Utah, it is a physical i'm
possibility for the country to produce
the goods for which the administra-
ton asks appropriations for the ensu-
ing fiscal year. But even with the
possible amount of production and the
business resulting therefrom, avail
able money must move nimbly" to
transact the country's business. Sem
etor smoot believes, therefore, that it
is unwise to make loans or raise reve-
hue in excess of the amounts that can
be spent for war and other govern
mental purposes. On the subject of
past and. coming expenditures, he says:
The expenses of the government
for the last fiscal year were $685.
6e2.721. with receipts of approximate
ly $4,000 100000, and for the present
fiscal year the expenses no doubt will
DO increased to S15.00O.0 100000 or
SIC, 0OO,00o.0OO. If that be true there
should be raised by taxation between
five and six billions for the present
fiscal year, and not eight billions as
suggested by the treasury depart
ment."
Suppose that we raise $4,000 00.-
900 by taxation and bonds, and sup
rCse that we are unable to spend
more than SIC. 100000. In that
event We shall have withdrawn some
$4,000, 100000 from the working cap
ital OF the county to no purpose ex-
cept to invite governmental waste and
extravaganza. The discrepancy that
existed between appropriations and ex-
penditure last year suggests that con-
gress ought now to make an effort to
establish something like a parity be-
tween them.

BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH. THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am girl
of twenty years and 1 am going with
a young man living in another town.
There are boys living in this town
who have tried to stop our friend
ship. This young man tells me he
thinks everything of me. He has
told me two or three times he would
be over and then did not come and
he has been acting very queerly to-
ward me. Sunday night he came to
see me and said he knew he did not
treat me right and told me what
these boys had said. They tried to
break our friendship. My boy friend
said he would drop them and do what
is right il I would take him back.
Would you take him back or stay
away from him? HAPPY.
Give the boy another chance. but
do not appear to be eager to have
him come back.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can a net
dress be washed nicely? Should II DE
starched? THANK YOU.
A net dress may be Numbered at
home very nicely. A very little starch
may be used IL it is desired to have
the dress slightly stiff. but II ironed
while IL is quite damp IL viii have a
slight stiffness anyway.

TIE NEW DAY IN AMERICA.

The government is planning to
place one million American youths in
military and vocational training com
t.ined. Probably after the war there
will be little opposition to universal
military training. The array of fall
lacies which in the past bristled be-
tween the American people and the
idea of universal training :. has been
gradually battered down by an inva-
sion of facts and experience
The American training camp has
teen a revelation to the people of
what universal training may be in a
democracy, not merely a defense of
the nation from the peril of invasion
and conquest but also an inspiring ex-
perience to the individual. The Amer
lean people are discovering what
tt aiming and discipline in the concep-
ton of American officers. are.
The, strength of the opposition to
preparedness and its essential factor.
universal military training, says the
Chicago Tribune, was not in the little
group of pacifist impracticables who
founded unions opposed to militar-
ism" and cackled shrilly about the
capitol. It was partly in the optmis-
tic Indifference of generation spared
the trial of war and forgetful of their
forefathers' experience. But it was
also found in a misconception of what
military training and discipline mean.
The average American disliked the
thought of military training because
hA = rnh af n ic
Independence and of his individuality.
lie disliked a uniform because it
meant to him not the highest form of
| public service, the manifest devotion
to his own highest ideals as expressed
in his country. but only an enforced
abolition of the right TO wear what he
pleased and be what he pleased. He
reseL ted the military salute because
! he misunderstood what it meant, TAX
ing it as a sign of inferiority or servi-
tude and a negation of the American
principle that all men are created
equal He thought of military training
and discipline in the light of what he
read about the insolence of Prus-
sian lieutenants and the brutality of
P-,7ssian sergeants. He did not think
of the democratic universal service of
the army of republican France, and he
did not trouble to find out what DEM
ocratic training and discipline might
he.
The purpose of military training IS
not to make a machine but to make a
man. man in the full, the highest
sense of the word. the citizen ready to
sacrifice himself not under compul-
sim of a master but under the insp;
ration of the principles and ideals of
\ a freeman.
| President Wilson has declared that
America makes war to make the
world safe for democracy, and now it
is learned that he is preparing to per-
pctuAte and to expand the great sys-
tenn of citizen character development
which universal military training is in
fact as our great camps are Damon
strating- Thus a statesmanly concep-
lion is rounded out. If we fight t.
make the world safe for democracy
we also work to make democracy a
living reality at home.
Universal military training as con-
ceived and developed in America will
he the education of the democratic
citizen. the peoples university. a
maker OF men, of citizens. of patriots
