WANT ENCOURAGEMENT
 FOR MINING INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Accord- ing to railway administration figures the mines and oil wells of the United
 States furnish 55.75 of the tonnage hauled by the railways. The material manufactured from ores and minerals produced from American mines and oil wells furnish 25 per cent of the remaining tonnage. This ratio has existed in greater or less degree for many years. In 1910 the total com bined appropriation for the bureau of mines and the geological survey was $1,999,S15 and for the department of agriculture $17,00OO0O. In 1919 the combined appropriations for the bureau of mines and geological sur vey was $4,533,040 as against $72,- 100000 for agriculture. Seventy per cent of the cost of producing raw metals and coal is for labor. The Amer. ican Mining Congress will ask con- gress for encouragement of mining through reasonable protection for es- sential war metals and minerals. Bills are already before congress for pro lection of several of these substances.

TOUCHING THE PHTHISICAL
TEACHER.

In recent talk, inspired by let
ter from a Pittsburgh teacher, the
following item was quoted from the
Health Bulletin" of the North Car
DINA state board of health:
Teachers and Tuberculosis.
There is a higher rate of mortality
from tuberculosis among school
teachers than among stonecutters
and barkeepers. The reason for this
is the insanitary condition of the
school room, lack of ventilation,
overheating. lack of light, and
sedentary occupation.
In Chicago public schools are
equipped with system of ventiIa-
ton which is under the supervision
of a competent expert on ventilation
connected with the health depart
ment of the city. The health depart
ments ventilating inspector in
charge recently observed that it was
safe to say that only a small part
of the mechanical equipment in
stalled in school buildings through
out the U. S. meet the accepted re-
quirements." He also stated that
the tests in the New York schools
reported by DR.. Josephine Baker (of
the Child Hygiene Bureau of int
New York City Health Department.
indicate that air conditions from the
standpoint of health at least, are
better in the window ventilated
rooms than in those rooms ventilat-
ed by mechanical methods, and the
results should awaken public Of
ficials to their laxity and careless
ness in the installation, and pos
sibly in the operation, of these me-
chanical equipments. To conclude
from the report that natural VEN
tilation is to be preferred to me-
chanical ventilation would be a
grave mistake and result in much
harm"
Now listen to Chicago teacher:
49,. The sad, nay, maddening
part of it is, that in Chicago at least
we are not permitted to wait till
time and toll have made us prefer
our air in static condition. Willy
nilly we are forced to box ourselves
up daily because a breath of fresh
air will disorganiZe the whole of the
so-called ventilation system. Even
principals are at the mercy of en-.
gineers, who OF COURSE receive or

same, but"
There was an interruption. A
servant appeared with a telegram
for Earle. He was glad for this in
PREVENTION, for his ardent soul was
impelled to tell Beatrice all the
truth. winding up with a fervid
confession of his undying love. He
read the telegram. 1t ran:
Everything all right. Just dis
covered that unfortunate letter in
a pocket-never mailed at ALL"
Then Earle looked up, to meet
the earnest eyes of Beatrice. Their
depths expressed perplexity. She
seemed intuitively to recognize
that Earle was concealing some
thing from her.
She never knew what he might
have told her, for the next r1oment
he was pouring forth pent-up emo
lions of his soul. He was free now
to present his own claims. and
there followed the raPturous con-
viction that she was ready to recog-
niZe them.

Don't Worry, They'll Sign.

Less than a year ago Germans, in America
as well as elsewhere, were saying confidently
that Germany never would admit defeat 1t
had been so long since the Huns had submitted
to enemy and many times had the re-
verse happened that Germans actually thought
they had developed an unconquerable spirit
which would survive physical defeat.
Events proved how groundIess was this be-
sIief The country's morale collapsed agen
sbefore it's military power was broken. The
certainty of ultimate disaster did the business
and the nation quit to, avoid punishment and
has been whining and begging ever since in
the hope of creating sympathy and thus get
ting off with an easy verdict
Some are saying that Germany never
will sign the peace treaty. No responsible
German officer has yet said for publication,

a careful reading of their words shows that
they always have left loophole somewhere.
They have not finally committed themselves
Because they know that they will finally sign.
They may fume and buster and try to stir up
compassion for themselves IL the United States
and among the allies hoping that public opin-
ion will react in their favor, but at the last
moment, if no better bargain is offered, they
will put their signatures the dotted line
just as they told to do.
A nation that has done the things Germany
has done that has been as merciess in vic
tory, that has countenanced equivocation and
double dealing, that has taken every unfair
advantage and that has repeatedly, before the
war and during it, taught and practiced the
theory that the weak and conquered had no
rights as opposed to the strong and the Victo-
rious may be expected to whimper and beg,
but it will always in the end accept the best
that it can get and congratulate itself if it
Succeeds in saving any part of its skin.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Will you kindly tell me what &c
use for liver spots? There are
brown stained patches here and
there on the skin. have been using
lemon juice and peroxide but they
don't seem to disappear. (Miss j.
Answer-They were named liver
spots by some antique who dag
nosed disease by intuition. A better
name for them would be lung spots
FOR they depend on the oxygen
shortage. Absorb more oxygen
That means physical training. Take
a dozen rolls, besides a systematic
course of general exercises, before
breakfast and before retiring every
day. These patches or stains in the
skin are a confession that the phys

The Country's Highway Plan.

Bids were opened at Springfield today for
the construction of an earth" highway ex-
tending nearly four miles south of Milan and
costing in excess of $4,000. The undertaking.
The Argus is informed was recommended by
the state highway engineers and was author
lied by the board >of supervisors two years
ago. The proceeding. therefore, seems to/have
eenformed to the demands of law, though it
fails to inspire added confidence in and respect
state highway department the county board
Shaping up the on the ordinary -ountry
road without providing for any more durable
surface than earth" is The Argus notion of
nothing to spend state aid money for.
The question now arises whether those who
engineered this deal have shown qualifications
to justify leaving the other items in the high
way Improvement program entirely in their
hands. Perhaps they need little advice. If
so, it is not too early to formulate it.
1t is understood that the route for the hard
road between this city and Aledo to be built
part of the state system has not been def
nitely selected There are several feasible
plans proposed and considerable local activity
has developed on behalf OF each So far, how
ever, there has been no concerted movement
to secure the greatest benefit for the greatest
nnmber of people, which is the only proper
bass for a decision. Rock Island is deeply
interested and something should be done about
it Otherwise we may wake up some day and
find that local interests with a pull have set

tied the matter to the especial satisfaction
of a small minority
Any way it is arranged Rock Island county
will get considerably less out of the state road
fund than it will contribute to it, The mileage
will fall far below fair ratio to the automo-
bile license fees collected here. With two
roads designated, one via Hillsdale and the
other via Colona, the upper end viii be fairly
well taken care of, but the lower end, much of
which has no railroad facilities, is bound to
fare badly. Built straight south of Milan the
state hard road would have only about nine
miles in the county. The farther west it is
carried the more people within the county it
will serve and the more fully will>it make up
for the want of railroad facilities. The inter
ests of the county dictate the selection of a
central route west to a point approximately
north of Aledo, thence south as directly as may
be to that city. This will give the county the
most that it get without unnecessarily in
creasing the mileage between the cities, which
of course is not advisable and would not be
sanctioned by the state highway commission
If the money were in sight to extend the
state system a careful selection of the route
would not be so important. The facts are,
however, that higher costs of construction
threaten to reduce the mileage already desig
mated and it may be a number of years before
the state will be in position to go beyond the
connecting Of county seats, now contemplated
Therefore it is up to this county to see that
it gets all that it fairly claim under the
existing arrangement.
1t seems clear enough what the general sit
uation demands. The thing to do is to get
some expression of popular opinion on the
subject. If left entirely to the agencies which
heretofore have been attending to such mat
tiers things may come out all right-and again
they may not.
