conserxattxe Muse 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 tho world on foot or horse back or In gaieys 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 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 smull. This defect in our historical training has made our minds politi- cally sluggish.-H. c. Wells in New Republic.

I. !. WATS0N'S
 WEEKLY LETTER


 So long as the present credit re- Strtctions are imposed it is hardly to be expected that any great activity or material advance will take place in the stock market AS the engine can not move without fuel the market cannot rise without money. The New York harbor strike Is affecting specu- 1Rttve sentiment. We look for a spe- cialty trading market for the present, in which the undertone is expected to be good. Consideration of the ap- proach of the next Liberty Loan and estimates that the total war debt of all Nations will reach close to two hundred billion dollars, are factors operating for conservatism in invest ment circles.
 We beg to differ with some of the bright writers for a, Wall Street who say there is mo more danger of gov erInnent ownership at the end of five years than at the end of 21 months" Continuance for a period of five years Is just what the astute politician would want. It means to accustom the general public to what might prove to be government ownership. It means that all the elements of uncer- tainty which would go with this pub lie administration may prove that they will gradually add to the voting po- htioal strength of this Democratic ad ministration, and that looms up as one of their strongest reasons for it's continuance Is it possible that the judgment of one man is equal to the judgment of a half dozen or more ! men equally as well constituted men ! tally as himself? We have the re- l; markedly well-preserved judgment of one of the most conservative and competent railroad men in the coun- try as to the fact that it would be injurious and detrimental to the great railroad corporations to continue un- der government control, and that man Judge Lovett---expresses himself at length on the subject---alI of which we cannot quote
 Under government ownership first class ability would disappear from the Z management of the railroads. The compensation offered would not at ! tract great builders like James J. Hill and E. H. Hartman, nor LoVetts, To- rees or Ripleys. The fact that wages have been advanced under govern ment control more than $590 0O0, 900 a year. and that MT. MrAdoo himself admits that a deficit of $16O. eco, ,NO0 will have to be made up, are commenta- ries upon the difference between pr1- vate and public ownership. There may be some voters among savings bank depositors who will consider the
 damage being done and some of
 these depositors may also be railroad employees. This Is equally applicable | to very many of pohcyholders in the 1 great Life Insurance companies Are ] their assets of years standing and of i good value to be wiped out? We think
 not. It's time to sit up, take notice--- act, orga nize, vote.

The Philippine model sanitary house which has aroused so much interest not only among Fffiplnos but also among residents of neighboring countries, has been adopted by Siam. and contractors located at Bangkok, having secured in- structions from the Philippine health service, have begun the construction of a number there. The Siamese are keenIy alive to the importance sf pro noting public health. and inasmuch as the health problems Of Siam are very similar to those of tho Philippines ow- ing to climate and products, delega- tions of Siapess have arrived from time to time in Manila for the purpose of studying Philippine methods, one of them last year, being headed by hls Royal Highness Prince Ranggit, broth er of the king of Siam.

Rather startling was the climax to an encounter last evening when liar old Higenbotham, one of Bridgeport's aspiring young thespians applied to Director Willard Dashiel for a posi- tion in the cast of "It Happened in Bridgeport now playing at the Lyric theatre.

| tell him to look around, for knew the
incident would delight him. Undoubt-
edly he was the first of the human
race to use his airship as a cradle!
Seldom could l muster courage to
look over the side of the car, which
was mist unfortunate because I par
ticularly wanted to study the region of
the hold-up. Whenever l caught
streak of smoke on the mountain side,
! imagined we might be passing the
bandits cave where Katherine Miller
was he'd.
Wouldn't Jim be able to locate her
by plane, I wondered? Surely, with
Bob and Jim Morrison and his bunch
working together, any gang of bandits
would surrender on sight. / regarded
my brother-in-laws broad shoulders
with pride. And 1 hoped it would be
long time before Jim got married
don't suppose any girl is ever ready to
part with the protection of nice broth
ers like Jim.
Jim made an especially. romantic
figure because he wasn't wearing his
Uniform He was in a mechanics
dress and he looked considerably like
an outlaw of the air ought to look,
thought.
He couldn't, of course, take a gov
eminent uniform adventuring in Mex
leo nor a government plane, either.
Morrison, after his private chat with
Jim, had explained why the ship lacked
the red, white and blue insignia. The
| fellows had assembled this car, Jim
said, from parts of ships which hal
crashed Then they had sold the thing
at auction, and he had been the lucky
buyer. He had had real luck, too, for
while it was a freak bus, 1t had proved
as steady as a taxi.
1t was steady, I admitted. and Just
as had settled myself to really enjoy
the feel of the ship, Jim waved an
arm to call my attention to thread Of
silver in the distance far above.
| 1t was the Rio Grande! Beyond it
was safety. And never wanted to go
south Of it againl wanted to end all
Of my adventure In the safe heaven OF
my husbands arms!
Fate, however, was bound to be per-
verse. Just when I needed Bob most,
he would have to go in search OF
Katherine Miller. And Berghoff was
exacting money from Chrys in ex-
change for certain mysterious brown
envelopes. Berghoff must be robbed
of his prey-and jailed.
CHANGING over the side of the plane
I saw the earth was rising to bump us
but Jim made lovely landing, just
outside a certain border town. HI
