The Desert Dry? Read This.

Would you believe that the air IN
an average schoolroom is drier than
the air in the deserts? That Is
what recent tests indicated, accord
ing to the Popular Science Monthly.
However, there is nothing to De
alarmed over. as the drying power
of air does not depend so much on
its humidity as on its being in mo-
ton. An interesting illustration OF
this is furnished by the fact that
the air in a room which is fan ven
tilated and artificially humidif1ed
has greater drying power than the
air in naturally ventilated and
Inundated room.

time past and must continue to bat
tie against some of the things the
House indiscreetly put into the rev.
enue bill last October. Whether
they will achieve a victory in the
long run depends far more upon
the members of both the House and
the Senate than upon the Presi-
dent or the Secretary of the Treas
ury and it must be left alone TO
the judgment of each member what
the outcome will be.
The truth is, Mr.. Kitchin was
friendly, when the war revenue
measure was up last year, TO the
very things Mr.. Burleson wanted
put into the measure. He repre-
sented the Burlesonization of the
press-and IL there is anyone who
can suggest anything more cruel
to the press of the country than
that we have failed to hear it pro-
posed on the Hill. The pet idea
and fancies of both Mr.. Burleson and
Mr.. kitchin are worked into the
document in fantastic. but faith
depressing way. Until there is a
legislative dentist called in to pull
the teeth OF war revenue legisIa-
tion there will be neither rest for
weary newspaper men or encour-
aSement for the newspaper and
magnazine reading public. II Mr..
kitchin resents this-as he has al
ready-he will merely be standing
by the child of his legislative for
tunes. But that will not be reason
for Congress either condoning the
child or refusing to put it into a
home on the charge of solonistic
vagrancy.
The naturalization of express
companies is a natural term-Quite
resultant from the overdose of ma
tionalization which the country has
been having lately, but which may
nevertheless have been needed in
order to cure it's severe public-srv-
ice distemper.
The step may be worth while
and the ownership of the railroads
may be shown to be desirable. But
the success or failure of the ex-
pertinent rests with several con-
siderations and all of these cannot
possibly be coped with during the
progress of the war. AS an expert
ment we are quite ready to agree
with some members of Congress
that it should be tried. But as a
constant tonic we are not so ready
to say that it is the best possible
solution of the operation problem.
Congress indicates a desire to see
the matter given attention and this
will probably be done shortly.

PARISIANS HAVE GONE
TO SOUTH OF FRANCE

PARIS, March 1S.-Many Parisians,
after harboring refugees from north
ern France for three and a half years.
have become refugees themselves. So
many of them have fled to the sunny
south that most of the resorts are re-
ported full to Overlooking. This ex-
Ffdus is attributed to the air raids but
it is by no means an indication that
Parisians have been terrorized by the
Gothas. The circumstances connec-
ted with the casualty lists show that
the victims were not frightened
enough, many deaths resulting from
rash imprudence.
The average citizen is so proud of
the share he takes in the general dan
ger in these raids that he regards the
fugitives to the south as deserters in
the face of the enemy Thus has been
opened debate as to the propriety
of people of means abandoning the
city. The majority agree with the
philosopher, Emile Boutroux, who hold
that the rich especially in duty bound
to stick to their posts as example to
those who are unable to leave.

Liberty Loan is Shy
 More Than a Billion
Managers Are Confident That Big Total Will Be Subscribed When Full Re turns Are Made.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Tomorrow the national will decide the degree. of suc- cess of the fourth Liberty loan
 Tonight, with only "A hours remain ing in the subscription period, the treasury estimated the sum already raised at between S4,5G0, 900, ,006 and S5,Oo0,0 ,000,000, making billion or more still necessary. before the six billions is raised. The amount officially re- ported tonight was only $3,s5S, ,589, 500, but this included little of today's bus mess. That figure represented an in crease of $351 000,000 since last night
 On the eve of the greatest selling order of the entire campaign, national loan headquarters limited it's com ment to this:-
 There must not be the slightest diminution of effort tomorrow To gain the desired goal means the most vigorous selling from sunrise until as late at night as there is anyone left to buy"
 The managers still felt sure that the big total woul4 be subscribed, al- though they emphasized that it would take multitude of last minute $50 and s100 subscriptions as well as some big pledges to do it. The loan would rail, they said, only if either the vast group of small subscribers or the smaller group Of heavy buyers refused to invest at the last moment, believ- ing that the loan would go over with out their help.

HOUSE HAS PASSED THE
 MILITARY DEFICIENCY BILL

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The six bil- lion dollar military deficiency bill was passed today by the house without a dissenting vote and sent to the senate in practically the same form that it came from the appropriations commit tee. st..,..
 Besides providing vast sums for the war department. the bill also pro vides S1O7 217,O0O for the navy and s70,000,000 for the war risk insurance bureau to pay allotments to families of soldiers and sailors.
 In anticipation of final action on the bill tonight, Representative Kitchin, the democratic leader, after confer ence with Senator Martin, majority leader in the senate announced that he would endeavor to bring about an other series of three day recesses in the house, beginning probably tomor- row and continuing until Oct. 29, the date proposed for the beginning of the joint recess until after the November elections
 After congress re-convenes Nov. 12, Mir. Kitchin said, the house probably will continue it's three day recesses until the senate disposes of the war revenue bill. The majority leader pre- dicted that the revenue measure would not be ready for the presidents sig nature until December.

Eight Men on Homeward Bound American Ship Were Wounded, Two Fa- tally.

An Atlantic Port Oct. 1S.-The homeward bound army transport Arn- phion had a two hours running fight with a German submarine 800 miles off the Atlantic coast last Saturday morning in which eight men on tie American ship were wounded, two ia tally. The transport arrived here to- day and reported that. far as those aboard could determine the subma- rine was not badly damaged if at all.
 The first shots carried away the Amphion's wireless and she was una ble to call for help. The naval gun CT ews replied to the enemy shots and the transport crowded on all steam, finally drawing away from the sub marine. The transports superstruc- ture was riddled with shei1s and shrapnel
 The Amphion formerly was the North German Lloyd liner Koln and is of r., 409 gross tons and has a speed of F 1-2 knots an hour. She was seized at Boston when this country entered the war and after being repaired by the shipping board was turned over to the army as a transport.
