The discovery in the Congo of a
pigmy elephant that at maturing is
five feet and a half In height and
weighs only about 200 pounds will not
astonish biologists, who are aware
from the testimony of the rocks that
there was a time when Africa
swarmed with pigmy representatives
Of the elephant type, the mammoth
and the giant elephant of today being
creatures of later development.

Now a scientist comes forward to
say that the woman is nearer the
savage than the man, stronger than
he is, and has no business nor right
to faint without notice on any occa-
sion. Science. as usual. is behind
poetry in finding out the essential
facts Of life. So in this case, the sci
enlist is merely plagiarizing from the
poet who announced some time ago
that the female of the species is more
deadly than the male.

Fix the Furnace Now.

The prudent man will have his fur
mace put in thorough order at the pres
ent time. Letting it 60 till fall would
be rash at q time when labor Is so
scarce as now and when there are sure
to be so many other people anxious to
have their furnaces put in order.
There was considerable complaint last
winter Of the quality of some Of the
coal, which was explained by the sto-
ries received from the mining regions
Of the working over Of heaps at the
pit heads, some of which represented
the accumulation of many years. This
winter the coal may contain fewer
impurities, but necessity for getting
the greatest possible return in service
for every pound burned will be obvi-
GUS in view of the rule that consumers
are allowed to purchase only a per-
centage Of the total amount they used
for heating their houses year ago.
A furnace that is out Of order will
waste great deal Of coal. No one
can afford to have that sort of thing
going on at the present time.

CITY NO LONGER PEST HOLE
British Authorities Have Worked
Wonders In Cleaning Up Ancient
Capital Of the caliphs.

Paved streets, electric street lights,
municipal sprinkling carts, modern
fire department-these are all in old
Bagdad now, says Cleveland Plain
dealer. Or, rather, they are in new
Bagdad, for the slumberous city on the
Tigris has assumed new aspect since
the British drove out the Turks six
teen months ago.
Nothing now remains Of the filth and
squalor Of the Turkish regime. The
place is still oriental, but the oriental
atmosphere is less odoriferous. Dead
cats are not left to decompose in the
middle of narrow streets. Great Brit.
ain has a wonderful way Of leaving
orientalism unspoiled while making
1t reasonably clean. The British SOL
der cannot abide filth. His sanitary
squads penetrate the remotest news
and the most deeply hidden cesspools,
and the news and the cesspools cease
to offend. The natives soon discover
that cleanliness Is not horror.
The Arab is not naturally vile, but
he has fallen into the ways of his
Turkish masters. Bagdad is as inter
esting as ever, and ever SO much safer.
After the war many British tourists
will visit the ancient Abbaside capital,
where ruled the mighty caliphs, and
will note with interest the British
benefits bestowed on the city that Will
helm und Colt once picked as the far
goalpost of Mitteleuropa.

Attention to Article 3
Of Peace Terms.

think the time not wholly inoppor-

terms laid down by the President on the
Sth OF January last. and since repeated
in some form on various occasions

az follows:
The removal, as far az possible, Of

lishment Of a neutrality Of trade

senting to the peace and associating
themselves for its maintenance.
Mr.. President, as read it. II this ar

nouncement on the part Of the President
Of purpose to write free trade into the
peace treaty. 1t II, of course. possible
that l may misconstrue the Presidents
meaning. but find myself unable to,
place any other construction on 1t. Nor
have been able to find one among the!
many with whom have talked concern
from remarks of Sena-
tor Harry g. New, Of Indiana, IN the
United States Senate, October 18th. 1918.
Not only Is Mr.. News Interpretation
of President Wilson's third article Of
peace terms held to be correct by those
Americans who have studied 1t, but
evidently Germany believes this third
article means putting the United States
on q free trade basis by means Of a
treaty which cannot be changed instead
of by legislation which can be changed.
Chancellor Won Hertling on January
"a, 1918, In addressing the German
reschstag upon President Wilson's IA
terms of peace, said regarding Article
No. 3:
I'VE too, are in thorough accord with
the removal Of economic barriers which
interfere with trade"
Whether the American people wish
this country flooded with cheap Ger
man made goods after the war, under
an agreement made by peace treaty,
is one of the greatest problems Of re-
construction. The Democratic party
is committed to this policy. To pre-
vent such condition 1t Is necessary

WHO GIVES MONEY
And Who Gets IT
Official Data on South's Contribu-
ton to Third Liberty
Loan.

In recent issue Of the Literary
Digest there appeared a series of ad-
vertisements inserted by a Southern
advertising agency on behalf Of the
newspapers Of Southern states. One
of these ads reads in part as follows:
Subscriptions Of the Southern people
to Liberty Bonds exceed the average Of
the United States. Returns from sub
scriptions for the Third Liberty Loan
show that every Southern district very
largely oversubscribed it's quota. - .
How did this happen? No one contends
that the Southerner IL more patriotic
than the rest Of his countrymen. But as
the above figures show clearly that he
invested more literally in Liberty Bonds
than his brethren. there u only one
reasonable deduction-he has more money
to spend. You can't get away from
it. You don't have to wait till
harvest time In the South. as in the
North and West, when the farmer Il
supposed to have more money. Every
day Ii harvest time in the South"
This effort to make It appear that
the South did more than its share In
subscribing to the Third Liberty Loan
Is not sustained by the data issued by
the United States Treasury Depart
ment The official figures taken from
the treasury departments report Of
the Third Liberty Loan shows that the
Fourth Southern Federal Reserve Dis
trict subscribed only 1888, 965, $50 out
Of total national subscription Of
$4,1765l6,850, or only about Is per
cent. Of the total subscriptions of the
United States, notwithstanding the
four Southern federal reserve districts
comprise one-third Of the federal re-
serve districts Of the United States.
The $639, 965, $50 the Southern states
contributed to the Third Liberty Loan
is but tie more than the amount of
money the government spent in those
states building army environments,
camps. and other military plants. In
other words, the South did but little
more than lend to the government the
equivalent of the millions in real
money the government had actually
given the South. Counting in the mil
lions of dollars northern soldiers sent
to southern camps and friends Of
northern soldiers visiting them in
southern camps spent in the South, the
South did not lend the United States
as much money in the Third Liberty
Loan as the United States had spent
in the South since April, 1917. In
other words, the South did not draw
upon its own wealth or normal income

WHAT ABOU7 IN
AFTER-WAR PERIOD?
viii Nation Experience Same
Delay That Has Marked
War PREPARATION

Workmen In the United States are
now fully employed at higher wages
than labor has ever known. Many Of
them have become accustomed to a
scale Of living better than they have
ever known. In the last two years
nearly one million women have taken
Jobs either formerly held by men or
newly created Jobs which under ordi-
nary circumstances would be filled by
men.
Three million ablebodied men are
now either actually in service or being
called to training camps. Over i've
million laborers are actually engaged
in factories and plants directly and
wholly occupied in making war mate
rial. Another five million are engaged
In Quasi-war work.
What will happen to these millions
when peace is declared1 What VIM
become Of the "war jobsT What viii
happen to the high level Of wagesl
The moment peace II declared the
United States Government and other
Governments will cancel their i'm
mense outstanding orders and con-
tracts for war material Automatic
ally this will throw millions out Of
employment unless provision is made
ahead of time to ind work for them
during the period Of reconstruction.
This advance preparation cannot be
made in day, week or q month. II
Is more gigantic task to prepare for
this than 1t was to prepare for war.
We have been engaged in war now
over eighteen months and we still are
dependent upon England and France
for munitions, guns clothing. ships
and much other war material. II the
present administration of affairs could
not put the nation on a war basis in
eighteen months how long would It
take the same leaders to put the ma
ton on peace basis?
These questions only Indicate the
very serious problems which labor
must confront Immediately upon the
declaration Of peace. Republican con-
gressmen contend that It is necessary
that this government should immedi-
ately take steps to safeguard labor
during that period after the war when
industry Is readjusting itself. They
contend that labor should be protected
from the food Of cheap products
abroad and from enforced idleness at
home. Republican leaders are back Of
the Weeks Reconstruction Bill, which
would create bipartisan committee to
begin immediately the framing Of poll
cies to meet these emergencies

HIS sWELLED HEAD REDUCED
Why Recruit At Camp Upton No Long
or 5rags Of His Proves With
a. the "Padded Mitts."

A certain husky, raw-bOned recruit
from an interior town reached Camp
Upton recently and brought forth two
sets of boxing gloves. He confided to
his comrades that he was a mighty fine
boxer, and "back home" he had thrash
ed everybody who had tried conclus-
ions with him. This declaration nat
urally was an invitation, and all
promptly professed to know nothing of
the manly art and asked If he would
give them a little instruction.
Flattered, the youth stated his will
ingness to oblige, and the following
day was set for the lesson. The pupils
promptly hunted up Benny Leonard,
the lightweight champion, who was
and is the boxing instructor at Upton,
and arranged for him to meet the re-
cruit. The latter was informed that
he was to give the first lesson to a
very fresh" youngster, and he agreed
to put the unknown in his place. When
Leonard was brought before him he
wanted to back out, stating that he
couldn't think Of boxing with man
so much smaller than himself.
Leonard, however, insisted that the
lesson 60 on, and each put on his
gloves. During the ''lesson" Benny
never struck a blow, but contented
himself with feinting, ducking, lodging
and blocking until the volunteer teach
er was so exhausted with his own ef-
forts that he could scarcely stand. He
stopped finally, congratulated the
champion on his showing, said that he
did very well "for an amateur" and
then made his way to the barracks to
bed. When, later, he was informed Of
the identity of his antagonist, he said
several things more or less compliment
tary to those who had put up the job
on him and sent the gloves to his
home.-Leslie's Weekly.

Proper Breathing Help to Swimmers.

Proper Breathing Help to Swimmers.
Anyone's body will float when the
lungs are filed with air, but as a hu-
man body Is trifie heavier than wa
ter 1t will sink unless buoyed up by
air in the lungs, says Dan Beard in
Boys Life. Consequently If you learn
to breathe so that you blow out your
breath in time to intake a new breath
before you sink, 1t is evident that you
will not sink at all. When breathing
while swimming do not take too many
breaths, but let your mouth serve as
the intake. 1t can do 1t quicker than
your nose because your mouth is big
ger than your nostrils or nose holes.
Now If any Of you tenderfeet drown
this season it will be your own fault.
Breathe right and you will float.
