Moonshinins Still

There is food for the reflective minded
in the announcement that under "the
biggest intensive roundup of illicit whis
key distillers ever undertaken" the gov
ernment has just concluded in the South
ern mountain districts alone the seizure
OF 486 stills. Two hundred moonshiners
were arrested. Five outlaws and two
sheriffs were killed
The total value of the copper stills and
other parapher-1alia seized reaches over
$100,000," with 21,OO0 pounds of sugar
to boot. More than 10000 gallons of
pale moonshine whiskey poured down the
mountain rills.
All this took place exclusively in pro-
hibition states. Although it is said that
many of these booze factories had beel-
operating 'for years." it seems a fair
inference that moonshining must have
undergone an enormous boom with the
recent rise in the price of whiskey in
order that in eight weeks fourteen
revenue agents could seize 1856 stills
Some expansion probably was due to the
proximity of the great number of train
ing camps established in the South. The
seizure tempts the philosophical to spec
ulation. Among a certain limited section
of the population the thirst for stimu-
lants seems unquenchable, and alcoholic
drinks of some sort are the easiest things
in the world to make. For the most part
nature herself will do the trick if she is
merely given fair chance and fair
start. 1t is only the quality that requires
care and expense. We shudder to think
Of the quantity of fiery stuff poured out
by the revenue agents, or the quality of
the stomachs into which it might other
wise have flowed. The hardest of all
alcoholic beverages to make are good
beers and light wines.

day after day. proposing terms which
even the Germans now would not dream
of naming.
1t seems unbelievable We have to
confirm the text carefully to believe it
ourselves. But year ago Hearst pro-
posed that "the United States alone, out
Of her great wealth, restore France and
rebuild Belgium" and urged that a
peace conference be called at once in
some neutral country. He said: "The
plain truth is that without the interven-
tion of some unknown mechanical inven-
tion the Allies cannot conquer Germany
with the means at their disposal and
with such reinforcements as we can
promptly send them
A year ago Hearst was preaching de-
feat and advocating peace.
Greatly, indeed, have the aspects of
war changed since then.
The allied people of the world now for
the first time see victory.
What Germany sees we do not know.
What Hearst sees is the hope of revo-
luton that may upset all the govern
ments at war before Germany is beaten
by force. No man is now competent to
discuss peace terms, he says, because no
man knows what it will be like at the
end-because, "For one thing, popular
revolution may break out all over Eu-
rope and upset every government, as
we'll as every calculation"
That is what Germany is praying for.
There is. nothing else to save her.
The editorial adds: eve do not know
how long this gigantic struggle will last
nor whether it may end in instant VIC
tory or in a long-drawn-out war of ex-
haustion, or in a crash of sudden revo-
luton"
Hearst protesting against any violent
talk of defeating Germany!
Hearst dubious about victory.
Himself, Hearst!

even q taste of college education is ex-
trernely small, and the number who fol-
low through full course is only small
part of these. Although the United
States spends more on its public edu-
cation than any other nation on earth
and has enrolled total of more than
100000 teachers, yet this is very largely
confined to what are termed common
schools, and to give full training of
any kind, collegiate, technical or profes-
sional, to even one-quarter Of the popula-
tion would require an enormously in
creased expenditure. Practically speak
ing, beyond the army and navy schools
and the old-time land grants to the state
universities, the present measure is the
first extensive venture in Federal aid to
higher education
1t will be interesting now to see how
: much of the present neglect of college
training is due to lack of means and
how much to lack Of inclination. The
facts in multitude of cases go to show
that practically any American boy with
the grit and determination has always
been able to get college training if he
really wanted it.

Take the Light
Eyed Sailor

Scattered through the history of man are
many such uncorrelated anthropologic facts,
one bearing upon the situation of sue
cessful "adaptability" on the part of the
light-eyed sailor. England discovered rather
late than early in the game of control of
her Indian colonies that her so,diers-and,
for that matter, her high rulers, too-be-
came lazy and inefficient if left too long in
that equatorial climate. Why? She did NOT
know. Yet she was forced by experience
finally to adopt system of rotation among
both her troops and rulers. For a hundred
years or more the reason remained unsolved
while the fact stood forth dogmatic truth.
1t was for the X-ray to shed lieht on the
matter. With the common use Of the X-rav
two very dynamic facts were thrust upon our
notice-namely, the X-ray had terrific powsr
to injure the human, not only externally hut
internally, and also that certain substances.
like glass and water and metals, blocked
this penetrating and injurious force.
Furthermore, with the medical use of the
A-ray it was soon learned that the blond
patients sustained more serious burns and
more serious internal injuries than the bru-
nette-in other words, the dark-eyed, dark,
skinned or pigmented individuals, Out of
this came the discovery that IL was the dark
pigment in the tissues Of the brunette that
served as blockage to the ray quite as
effectuaa as other substance, such as metal

Seventeen months ago our army was
insignificant, and Congress had willed that
it should so be. The total number of our
transports was SO small that the Ameri-
can expedition had to rely largely upon
English vessels. But America is the
greatest machinery nation on earth. 1t
can now produce probably five times as
many motor cars, motor trucks and
tractors per year as all the rest of the
earth put together. We shall produce
this year possibly more ships than most
of the other nations put together. The
tank was born of an American invention,
the caterpillar tractor. Yet in all the
exciting accounts Of the tanks great
achievements in the Allies drive we have
yet to read Of the exploits of a single
American tank.
The English army has tanks-hun-
dreds of them. And our output of steel
this year is four times that of Britain
The French army has tanks-appar-
emily in considerable number. And the
present steel production of France is
probably equal to not more than one
twentieth of this years output in the
United States
Last spring, we believe, Mr. Ford de-
clared that he could produce 100000
small tanks this year. Dispatches of
August % to this paper and to THE
New York Times" from Detroit said that
with the receipt of contract from
the United States government this
toeek Henry Ford has already begun
the filing of an order calling for many
thousands of small tanks of the whip
pet style. 1t will be possible
to turn out these tanks at rate of one
thousand or more every twentyfour
hours. The exact amount of
the contract and the number of tanks
called for are not given out"

The Pign1ented
Brother

On the other hand, his shallow nosed pig
mented brother Of the equatorial zone lolled
in his warmed mostened air, his food all
about him the year round, observing the
phenomena Of life. Out of the torrid and
equatorial zones came all the PHILOSOPHERS
and religions of the world of humanity. In
brief, the dark-eyed, shallow-nosed human
holds the driving forces Of thought reverie,
while, on the other hand, his blond brother
Of the north holds the driving forces OF
physlcsl endeavor.
Space debars mo from enumerating the
very earliest identification of these two hu
man types who have unqualifiedly left their
stamp upon the history Of the world. In
our present time marriage and tnter-mar
riage have driven these two out OF pure
ness Of type. Nevertheless, as driving
forces, they are still with US In all their
pristine vigor, though modified In a per-
centage way by reason Of our large or small
holdings Of this or that type, My own pro-
fessional life has been amazingly dotted
with experiences setting forth both physical
.diaease and nervous condition utterly due to

Free College Education for All!

There may easily be much misunder-
standing regarding the announcement
made from Washington that any boy of
eighteen enrolled under the new draft
law may be provided with free college
education. But if the provisions of the
arrangement are read carefully it will be
seen that they are highly selective and
that so far from "any boy" they will ap-
parently apply only to those who have
had at least high school education and
can run the gantlet of the prescribed
tests. Senator Wadsworth in his col
loquy with Senator Brandegee the other
day drew attention to the misconceptions
that might readily arise from the very
optimistic terms in which the announce
ment was couched.
The idea, so far as it is practical is of
course excellent. But if it were carried
out to any wide extent it would involve
an enormous extension of the country's
present facilities. Those facilities now are
not large. 1t is not generally realized
that at present perhaps more than nine
teen out of twenty boys in the United
States begin life without a college train
ing. The total number of boys and
young men of the usual college age, say,
from sixteen to twenty-three, is not less
than seven or eight million. The total
number enrolled in all the colleges, uni
versities, professional schools and normal
schools in all the United States is only
little over 100000, and this represents
many who attend courses for only a part
of the year. And nearly half of these if
we include the normal schools, are wom-
en-. Though the United States has an
almost unexampled number of institu-
tions labelled colleges and universities,
the attendance for the larger part of
them is small Last year there were only
Ill, exclusive of professional schools, re-
porting enrolment of more than 1000
students each.
1t will be seen from all this that the
number of American youths who have

The Shape of
Ones Nose

There is another anthropologic fact which
should be we'll looked into-namely, facial
shape or form mark of adaptabilty.
The great white, unpigmented race which
came from the north and finally conquered
the world held facial shape quite different
from his pigmented brother of the warmer
equatorial zones. In consequence of his
living In cold and therefore dry climate
(the moisture of his zone being held in
clouds above his head, rather than at his
breathing leveD his nose took upon itself
shape to meet the demands of his lungs.
Warm moist air was the demand his lungs.
IN automatic turn of physical necessity.
made upon his nose. In automatic turn his
nose became long and tortuous, for warm
ing and moistening purposes, while on the
other hand his pigmented brother of the
equatorial zones, in having his air warmed
and moistened for him, did not develop this
nasal "protuberance of necessity.o Ouite
the contrary. His nose was short and shall
low, often only two holes in his face into
which one might directly gaze. Again, the
great white unpigmented race, with bump
IN MS nose, in consequence Of his rigorous
northern climate, with its non-productive
winter, was forced to prodigious labor. His
lungs became of great depth, his muscles
strong, his heart large and forcefuI.

In observing retrospectively the conduct
of peoples from this anthropoIogic angle
one is quite amazed at the accuracy of these
findings In fact, one is quite led to believe
that, to very large extent, may not
only foretell the success or non-success Of
efforts in adaptability, but one is made to
feel that one may pick and choose indi-
vlduals, to a greater or less degree, for dis
tinctive purposes, as one chooses tools for

Meant to Assuage

III ASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-M the
~ Senate yesterday the folloming collo-
qaty occurred betweem Senators Wads-
acorth and Brandegee:
Mr.. WADSWORTH-Mr President. was
about to observe that were | cognizant that
the War Department was going to do any
such thing I would regard it as seriously as
the Senator from Indiana I had not the
slightest idea in the world that they had
any intention of doing such a thing that
they had any authority for doing such
thing, or any money with which to pay for
it. | merely note that the article is written
by Mr.. David Lawrence, which explains
great deal to me. 1t is we'll known that he
is fairly actively engaged from time to time
in what might be called political propa-
ganda, and the spreading of this article
over the United States, I have no doubt,
where it will be read by thousands and
thousands of parents and young boys, is
calculated to give the impression that as q
partial Offset for one of their hardships
that may be incurred as the result of the
new draft paternal government is to step
in and educate every boy eighteen years of
vice of this article is that it is deceiving
the American public and it is not the first
article of this kind that has gone out from
washington. There have been such from
even more Official sources than the author
of this article. In my humble Judgment
this article is all fours with the decep-
ton practised upon the people of this coun-
try in connection with the aircraft pro-
gramme. 1t is meant to assuage, it is
meant to control, it is meant to give some
little encouragement here and there. and
Tor the time being tide over any little diff
hculty that may occur or may arise in public
sentiment, If any such did arise. | can only
give my estimate of it, Mr. President I
have not the slightest idea in the world
that the War Department can do this thing
or that it intends to do such thing. The
vice is that every boy of eighteen in this
country, when he reads that third para
graph, which reads, "Any boy of eighteen
who can pass the entrance requirements can
go to any of the colleges, large or small. in
the East or West and get instruction and
subsistence at the expense of the govern
ment," will read what is not true
Mr. BRANDEGEE-Mr President. the
article states that the department of Gen
eral March has already contracted with 400
educational institutions for this service
Does the Senator doubt that statement?
Mr.. WADSWORTH--I am not aware as to
whether the department has contracted for
any services or not with educational nsti-
tutions, but | would be willing to wager
that if any such contracts had been made
they are solely and entirely for special and
technical training of men selected for that
very purpose, for special service later on in
the army not for all boys of eighteen
Mr. BRANDEGEE-Wh What does the Sena-
tor think of the statement in the article in
substance to the effect that the college au-
thorities to have something to say
about whether the boys possess the quail
fications necessary for an army officer?
Mr.. WADSWORTH-I can only once more
remind the Senator of the author Of the
article.
