Conservative Mv,e of History.

It is the unhappy usage of our
 schools and universities to study the
 history of mankind only during periods Of mechanical unprOgressiveness. The historical ideas of Europe range be- tween the time when the Greeks were going about the world on foot or horse back or In galleys or sailing ships, to the days when Napoleon, Wellington and Nelson were going about at very much the same pace in much the same vehicles and vessels. At the advent of steam and electricity the muse of his- tory holds her nose and shuts her eyes. Science will study and get the better of a modern disease, as for example, sleeping sickness, in spite of the fact that 1t has no classical standing, but our history schools would be shocked at the. bare idea of studying the effect of modern means of communication upon administrative areas, large or small. This defect in our historical training has made our minds politi- cally sluggish.-H. G. Wells in New Republic.

Match Heart in Lobar Pneumonla.

Deaths of pneumonia patients are due either to heart failure or to sep ticemia, seldom, if ever, to insufficient aeratiOn of the blood in the lungs, says pr. E. P. Hershey of Denver in his prize answer to the New York Medical Journals question, 'HOw do you treat lObar pneumonia
 Dr. Hershey says the heart must be watched and stimulated with digitalis. If it can be obtained the appropriate vaccine is to be used. In spite of prejudice, he recommends the ice bag. If the patient be alcoholic he must have whiskey or brandies; if not, all liquor must be cut out. A generous diet, but without meat, is necessary. Open-air treatment is cOnquering an- cient prejudice. Sudden rise of tenn perature on the third, fifth or seventh day is no cause for alarm, and de- pressing medicines at this time may mean death.

GAS MOST VALUABLE AS FUEL
Comparatively Little Is Now Being Used for the Purpose of Giving Di.
 rect illumination.

Although gas is being used more than ever before. it's direct employ ment for lighting Is almost a thing of the past. Our modern "gas lights" are chiefly burners where the light is not given put ny the gas at all. It is mixed with air to produce a dim blue flame with great heating power. This flame serves to heat a mantle of min eral salts white hot, and 1t is this in- candescent mantle that gives the light. Here the gas Is used not for its light, that gas is now most valuable, says the Literary Digest.
 According to an address delivered recently in England by President Harry Jones of the Institution of Civ il Engineers, and reviews by Nature OOndon), not 5 per cent of the whole gas output is now used for direct H. lumInation, so that the name "gas light company" has become some thing of a misnomer. The use of gas as fuel. President Jones says, has re- ceived special development during the war, and the ready applicability of gas appliances to the rapid making of mu- nitiOns in emergencies has made them especially valuable. Mir. Jones quoted a high official of the British war office as follows:
 "WIthout the direct aid of the gas industry 1t would have been perfectly impossible for this country to wage the campaign of the last three years, or even for any hut a trifling time resist the overwhelming floods of enemies that were poured upon 1t. When first was asked to take charge of the manufacture and production of explosives 1t took me but a few days to realize my absolute dependence on 1yoY,Y. ID6uSkrr

The Bible and profanity were strangely intermingled in the congress a few days ago. Senator Overman made the statement that President Wilson "has been criticized in many instances, for instance. for not taking senators into his confidence" To which Senator Reed remarked: "Oh hell :" Senator Overman expressed the hope that this expression would go into the Record. Subsequently Senator Over man read into the Record a section of the eighteenth chapter of Exodus, de- scribing how Aaron and Hur sat by the side of Moses and held aloft his hands throughout the day while the conflict between the army of Israel and the army of Amalek was in progress.

Army Horses cood.Tempered.

It's a weary, wicked world if you are an array horse. You may or may not approve of shoes, but you've got to have them just the same. The French authorities have an ingenious cOntrivance which so pinIOns a horse that he has absolutely nothing to say in the matter. It holds his head, and holds his feet and holds his body, and forcibly prevents him from expressing an opinion, or choosing his shoes, or making protest in any way. If they would only let fellow get in just one real hOrse-size kick one cOuld-but what's the use. In the meantime the farrier gets in his fine work, and then 1t Is too late. Yes, it's a hard, cold, cruel world, so 1t is. Still, shoes are not so bad and they give dandy heft to One's hind hoofs in arguments later on in the camps.

Bread WIfI .heat Flour.

The New ! Herald announces that 6 New .hef has a "wOnder recipe f. .ng bread without wheat f Jean RicrOch, chef of the E hotel, is responsible for the rec. and he now gives 1t to the country, without money and without price. Mir. RicrOch told Herald re- porter the ingredients of the new bread are as follows: Twenty-Five pounds of rye flour, 25 pounds of graham flour, 25 pounds of corn flour. 25 pounds of crushed oatmeal, pound of lard and 2 pounds of yeast" This, 1t is ex- plained, Is enough to make 15O pounds of bread. The yeast and rye flour should he mixed first and the others added alternately. Smaller quantities of bread can be made by using smaller proportions. The receipt doubtless is a good one, but 1t does not provide for bread without wheat flour. Graham flour Is unbolted wheat -four. So, while the bread Is a wheat saver, it does not do away entirely with the use of that grain.

In the new American army there are many officers whose alma mater Is Yale college, and some of them regard Wrexham. in North Wales. as a place of almost personal interest. For 1t Is there that Thomas Yale, who inaugu- rated the great seat of American learn ing. was buried. and 1t Is interesting to recall that in the early nineties a root of ivy from his grave was sent to Professor Phelps. formerly the American minister In London. to plant against the college building.-London Chronicle.

WOULD KEEP LOVE IN WORLD
Pathetic Plea Made by Austrian Woman More Than Her English
 Sister Could Refuse.

She was little Austrian woman and she was crossing the ocean on a great hostile liner. Most of the other women were the wives of EngIishmen and they could not forget that her country was at war with their land. They ignored her, and she was left much to herself. And yet
 One morning as she was walking up and down the deck in her solitary way she passed the steamer chair of q middle-aged English woman who was knitting at gray wOOlen sock, re- lates writer in the Christian Herald And suddenly she paused in her walk and held out both of her hands.
 "Oh," she cried, in very good Eng fish, twill you not let me knit a few rows on that sOckY
 The English woman looked up. And her face was cold and rather hard. T think" she said, "that you would scarcely want to knit on this sock For 1t is going to an English colonel my husband!"
 The little Austrian woman looked at the cOlonel's lady. And there were tears in her eyes. "Listen," she said in a low, shaking voice. "I, myself, have son. He is an officer in the Austrian army. But if you knew my son I do not think you would hate him If I knew the colonel, your hus- band, I do not think I would hate him either. "" She paused for moment before she went on. and then-''now that the world is torn by war;" she said, i've women must do what we can to keep little love in 1t May I. perhaps. knit few rows on the sOck?"
 Silently, but with tears In her own eyes the English woman handed over the gray wool.

Shin on Glrl,a Back Bar to sneIetv.

A ship on girls back is bar to her entrance into society, according to State Senator Alfred J. Gilchrist, of New York city. The senator declares that Brooklyn girl is barred from so- ciety because, when ten years old, a ship was tattoOed on the girls back. She cannot wear a fashionable, low neck dress because of the spreading sails across the ocean on her back. The senator, therefore, asks for law imposing a fine of $500 for any one who mars a young wOman's beauty.

is succor and sustenance. It is the
Supreme Antidote.
It is the duty Of every American
to give, give, give until it hurts and
becomes a sacrifice. Think what
those brave boys cover There" are
giving. If not their lives, they are
giving up the comforts of a home
and family, lying in water-soaked
trenches, many days with but little
sleep, all, that the world may be made
a fit place to live in. Give all you
can to America so you will not have
to give it to Germany. No matter for
what purpose you have made a small
saving, it is not a millionth part so
pressing as the needs of the Red
Cross. It is this Spring, when the
fathers and brothers and sons of
America will go over the top into the
actual fight, that every cent that car
be possibly brought forth, will be
needed.
So many say that their single dol
lar doesn't count and will be of no
help. But it can and it does. The
population of the United States is n
hundred million and if everyone gave
a dollar the big drive would have been
made in a day, that is how your single
dollar counts. Help the Red Cross
which today comes nearer to exempli-
flying the Universal Brotherhood idea
than any organization in the world.
1t is more than an organization. 1t it
a religion. 1t is Life.
So it is up to every individual in
Glasgow and Valley county to dig and
dig deep and pull that dollar out of
it's obscurity and start it doing some
thing for mankind, for humanity
through the Red Cross.

A NEW

That there will be no a%rictocray OF
wealth when the war ends is the pre-
diction which comes, not from the
soap box street orator but from
Charles Schwab, steel king and multi
millionaire and at present a most eff
cient commander in the government
industrial army.
He says that our present values will
change and that instead of measure
by money, there will come a "brother-
hood of men who do things"
Schwab will rank high in this new
~aristocracy. For he is demonstrating
his capacity to do things, different
things perhaps han the building of a
steel trust, vastly different from those
activities in the past which made
him the target for criticism and
brought to him the title of buccaneer
of finance.
He is perhaps the most shining tx
ample of the character of men who
are needed in the executive tasks of
our war work-a different kind Of
work from the political management
that dominates in times of peace.
Schwab's first order, when he took
charge of the building Of ships, was
to take, bag and baggage, the gigantic
office force of the shipping board ant
move it from Washington to Phila
delphia, near the place where tn
ships are actually being built. Pre-
cedent and red tape had put the gov
eminent bureau at the national CAPT
tai. Schwab put it near the job.
The only people who will be startle'
and dismayed by the Schwab predic
ton of a new aristocracy n thos
who depend on dollars for their plac

the crash of fallen cities and the cries
of tortured humanity, the voice Of
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the n message Of hope to our war
burdened world.
The black horror of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work of this
mighty force. The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation
without this saving power.
1t is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
of declaring to the world, through
the Red Cross, our message of mercy
and brotherhood, hat keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
of voc and sustains our faith in hui
man kind. 1t is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Cross work that is felt by every citi-
zen IN the land, that inspires us with
courage and hope.
Out of this hell OF slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to a heaven of worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
OF those ideals and principles in de-
Tense Of which we are giving our all
in lives and material wealth-because
on every field of death it is proclaim
ing it's message of life-because it
keeps ever before US and the world
the cause for which we war-because
it will preserve us in the hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope of the world.
