The airplane program Of the department
is now well known to have have been an expen-
sve fzzle and with suspicion steadily growing
that the taxpayers and wage earners were pract-
calIy compelled to furnish millions that very plain
ly were chiefly beneficial to manufacturing con-
Germs luckily in the employ Of the government, as
a matter of 100 per cent loyalty and Americanism,
primarily, of course This is not as bad as the re-
cent disclosures regarding the management OF
American army prison camps in France and the
brutality that even extended to plain murder, toll
Grated and sanctioned by American officers Not
many stories of German atrocities excel in brutal
ity, the proven statements of what happened to
American boys who left home for the purpose of
fighting for HUMANITY. Similar disgraceful
conditions were exposed last week by the editor
of Harvey's Weekly, in describing visit to New
York hospital maintained by the government to
care for wounded and otherwise disabled soldiers
of the A. E. F. Libby Prison of Civil War notirie-
ty looked after the prisoners as tenderIy as inva-
lid soldiers are being treated within sight of the
statute of Liberty enlightening the world. We
have always been believer in war preparedness
for the United States but if few months of war
can transform our military executives into lnhum-
an brutes it may be best in the interests Of ordinary
humanity to continue the happy go lucky attitude
of ignoring the danger of our getting into war I'M
til we are actually into one.

Sustained Nervous Energy
Always Demands an Outlet

1t has been discovered that cases
of people who have been exposed to
the fear of being torpedoed are suf-
fering from symptoms suggestive Of
shell shock. Doctor Clunet, in COM
munication to the Neurological society
of Paris, has described the mental
effects observed when on board ship
which was torpedoed. After the first
excitement following the attack 1t was
observed that several passengers dis
charged gurs into the air or into the
sea. In other words, the sustained
nervous energy found relief in letting
loose the immense energy concentrated
in explosives. Similarly, it was we'll
known at the front that long day Of
waiting in the trenches was productive
of more cases of shell shock than a
day of active engagement with the en-
envy. Next there were few cases Of
suicide among the passengers. These
passengers were on the whole calm
enough, even on the life RATS. 1t was
only when they were on the rescuing
ship that psychoneural phenomena be-
gan to develop, including mutism, spas
modic weeping, laughter, tremors, spas
modic movements of the limbs, etc.

Poison Root, the Wheat of
Barbados, Is Turned Into a
Wholesome, Nourishing Flour

The cassora root, or manioc, is the
wheat of Barbados. Before it comes
to be eaten, it suffers strange con-
version; for, being an absolute poison
when it is gathered, the natives sub
nit it to a process by which it is
/ rans-substantiated into wholesome
and nourishing flour. The outside OF
the root is washed clean and 1t is
then held against wheel, turned
around with the foot, the broad sur
face Of which is made rough Ike a
large CRATE. The grated root falls
down in large trough, appointed as
receiver for the purpose.
The thus obtained powder, or pulp,
is rank poison, but it is now put
into a strong piece of canvas and
pressed hard until all juice is squeezed
out. This dried poultice is then
spread upon cloth to be yet more
dried in the sun, until it is ready fer
use. The dough, or ''poIie," as the IA
tives call 1t, is then put in kiEd of
pan standing on three legs, and about
six inches high. This pan is about
20 inches in diameter and slightly
followed in the middle. 1t is half an
inch thick at the edge, but thicker to-
ward the middle. When the pan is
getting hot, the dough is spread out
on it and the natives keep pushing it
down with their hands. This is to
make it stick together, it being nearly
dry. They then turn it round and
round with kind of battledore until
it is done. The cakes thus produced
are about as thick as pancakes.

Physiological Facts.

Several recently discovered facts
about the body's growth are surpris.
ing. One is that the height increases
more during the warm months, while
the reverse is the case with the
weight Another is that women con-
tinue to grow tall long after men have
stopped. A mans height rarely in
creases after he is twenty-five years
old, but woman, when she becomes
a mother or under other conditions,
may add as much as an inch to her
stature up to the age of thirty or even
beyond.

Where to View at a Glance
ScotIand's River System

If there be one place north of the
Tweed where, at single glance, one
may view and comprehend the chief
river system of Scotland, Stirling is
that place. From this point one notes
the main streams, the aff1uents, and
the gathering of the waters which
make the Clyde, the Forth and the
Tay. He can then realize how great
and important in the political and eco
nomic history of Scotland has been
that great central valley, which
stretches from the North sea to the
waters of the Atlantic ocean.

FRIDAY, AUG. 3, 1919

One contributing factor in the rise of prices
which neither Congress nor the President can
touch is decreasing production. It is not popu-
lar aspect Of the subject, but it is nevertheless
substantial one, that with shorter hours and
lowered efficiency, due to no standards of quallfl-
cation and performance, the relative quantity OF
production declines while the cost goes up. That
is something beyond the reach of legislation or
administrative treatment. But that it lies close
to the heart of the problem of the high cost OF lv
ing there can be no doubt Profteering by capt.
tai can be reached by legislation and executive
authority and this is the business of the govern
ment-bot branches of it. But for reduced pro-
ductiop of labor there is but one remedy and that
is an inducement in the way of personal return.
Higher wages alone won't do it. Higher wages
alone may only mean higher prices. We seem to
be travelling around that circle all the time. But
labor associated with capital in an industrial part
nership offers hope of increased production and
improved quality and lower prices without IN
creasing hours. Some beginnings have been
made along this line; the experiments will be fol-
lowed with keen interest not only by the capital
and labor employed, but by the general public,
which has an equal stake in the outcome. Mime

THE CELESTIAL ARMY


stood by the open easement
And looked upon the night,
And saw the westward going stars
Pass slowly out of sight. a!5
Slowly the bright procession
Went down the cleaning arch,
And my soul discerned the music
OF their long triumphal march.
Till the great celestial army,
Stretching far beyond the poles,
Became the eternal symbol
Of the mighty march Of souls.
Onward forever onward,
Red Mars led down his clan;
And the moon, like afmailed maiden,
Was riding in the van.
And some were bright in beauty,
And some were faint and small,
But these might be in their great height
The noblest of them all.
Downward, forever downward,
Behind Earth's duslfy shore
They passed into the unknown night,
They passed and were no more.
No more! oh, say not so!
And downward is not just;
For the sight is weak and the sense is dim
That looks through heated dust.
Z The stars and the mailed moon,
Though they seem to fall and die,
Still sweep with their embattled lines
An endless reach of sky.
And though the hills of Death
May hide the bright array
The marshaled brotherhood of souls
Still keeps its upward way.
Upward, forever upward, Il
I see their march sublime.
And hear the glorious music
OF the conquerors of Time.
And long let me remember,
That the palest faintest one
May to the diviner vision be
A bright and blazing sun.

The Rubber Tree.

The rubber tree was discovered by a
Jesuit missionary, Father Mancelde
Esperanca, on journey among the
Cambelas Indians Of South America.
He named it scringueira, because he
remarked that the savages used the
sap of this tree, which hardens quickly,
to make rude bottles shaped like sy-
ringe.

A large cavity in a tooth can be

cotton, held by pliers, into water, then
taking up with it a small quantity of
