Helning Our Own Cause.

When one remembers that the
loans made to our allies enable them
to do the fighting that otherwise the
American Army would have to do
at much expense, not only of men but
of money, money which would not
be returned to us and lives that
could never be restored, the wisdom
of our policy In financing our allies
Is plain to everyone. 1t is not only
a duty to them that we are perform
ing in lending them part of our great
wealth; 1t is great duty we are per-
forming to our soldiers and sailors
and our Nation in making our allies
powerful and effective, thus lessen
ing the work and danger and suffer-
ing for our own men and In bringing
the war to an earlier close.

The deadly wood alcohol is about as
useful an agent as any that results
from the distillation process. Manu-
facturers of films, of shellac and of
cclluloid require large quantities. Com
pounds used In r4edicine and surgery
even have it in their makeup. There
is an anesthetic made from it, and it
is of consequence in formaldehyde
manufacture, the uses for which are
of wide scope,
The huge annual loss from grass
smuts. estimated at from S10000,0G0 to
S20,000O00, is readily controlled by
soaking the seed in this material.
Grain alcohol is not produced in this
manner, but as it is used in large guam
titles in munition plants 1T may as well
be mentioned here, especially as the
sawdust piles of the mills when spruce
and pine are sawn ought to be sup
plying a good deal of this that is at
present derived from molasses.
The unnecessary use of anything
sweet for such a purpose goes against
the grain of a people who are denying
themselves sugar. One ton of saw
dust is capable of yielding from 20 to
% gallons of wood alcohol.

Why Person Freezes to Death.

During the deep sleep which fol-
lows extreme fatigue the sensitiveness
of the nervous system is greatly re-
duccd. and ii becomes unable to per-
ceive the lowness of temperature. The
Inconsistencies OF sleep gradually
passes into the Inconsistencies of col
lapse. According 60 the popular be-
lief such man dies ''froZen to death"
but as a matter of fact he was killed
long before his temperature fell to
zero.
What really killed him was the re-
duction of the activity OF his tissue,
which always follows the loss of nerv-
Gus control. As result there was less
and less chemical change accompanied
by the production of heat, and at an
internal temperature of about 6S de-
grees life ceased.
That is why, as experience has often
shown, the weary traveller who gives
way to the imperative desire to sleep
on the line of march is doomed to
death when he has no adequate pro-
lection from extreme cold.

THE CHILD THAT LAGS.

In trying to cure the case of child
that lags behind the average of his
age, we should never tag or label him
with his deficiency, put him, so 10
sneak. in the ounces corner; let us
remember that almost invariably
there is a cause. This means that
both analytically and constructively'
we must do individual work with every
child. We must not measure him by
any common standards. About all,
we must not apply to him the cold
inhuman, scientific educational tests
which more often than not cause a
child to react abnormally because OF
the unsocial conditions, so foreign
compared to the child's everyday life,
under which the tests are made.
In trying to remedy the weakness
of a child we must particularly bear
in mind three points: First, to study
and work with the child as an indi-
vidual Second, in establishing new
habits. work with him only brief per-
iod at q time; otherwise he VIII get
tired and fatigue will wipe out the
new and helpful impressions. Third
our work must be centered upon the
particular deficiency or weakness we
wish TO correc' About all else, by
cones must remain bygones; misdeeds
of the past must not be alluded to.
The soul of our effort must be to
bring new, sympathetic, construc-
tive stimulant into the child's life,
which will establish new and good
habits in him-and through practice
and repetition establish them so posi-
lively and firmly that they will dis
place all habits and faults and weak
nesses, so that eventually the renew
ed and happy child will lose all
memory of ever having been anything
else. - Miriam Fin Scott in Good
Housekeeping.

HAS THE FIREBUG RETURNEDi

The several fires that have occurred
in Annapolis recently in rapid sue
cession are surrounded in mystery
and remind us of some years back
when the ubiquitous firebug was
around. AS stated in The Capital a
few evenings ago, the fourth of a
series of recent fires of mysterious
origin occurred in the vacant room
above the tailor shop of Mr.. William
Thomas, Conduit street, adjoining the
Chinese laundry. The room was I'M
occupied and, so far as known, no one
had been seen there the day the fire
occurred. This fact makes the sit
uation look worse and suggests that a
fire OF this kind is surely the work of
a firebug.
Fires occurring in this manner GER
tainly cause considerable uneasiness
and everyone is expecting at almost
.any time to be the next victim.
The mysterious origin of these fires
present q serious situation and should
not be passed by unnoticed and with
out vigorous investigation. We hope
the local authorities will look into
this matter to the end that the guilty
party may be apprehended and pun
ished.

PRAISE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL.

State Supervisor OF High Schools.
Samuel A. North, who has recently
visited the Annapolis High School,
has submitted his report to the Anne
Arundel County Board of Education
in which he strongly commends the
local school and its management.
The Supervisor says: This school
has made a large measure of progress
since last year. 1t is better organ
lied better administered, better so
cialized." The Supervisor further
states that in his opinion. the instruc-
ton is better this year than last. He
says the school is becoming a part OF
the community, which is a sure sign
that II is a good school, and on the
way to become a better one.
This praise for the local high school
IS received with favor by the County
Board of Education, who must share
with this community the feeling OF
pride manifest in the higher standard
of the local school system has main
tanned I'm the past twelve months.
The public school is a reflex OF the
community. A good school is indi-
cative OF thrifty, progressive peo-
pie. When taking up residence in
city or town the first thing a man OF
family asks. is what kind OF schools
have your" or words to that effect
Strangers want to settle where the
schools are the best, and Annapolis
has made long strides in the past few
years toward the attainment of the
better organized, better administered
better socialized school system, OF
which the Sup rvisor speaks in his
report of our high school. We feel no
small degree OF pride in his COM
mandatory report which we believe
our high school has deservedly won
