QUESTIONS AND
 ANSWERS

Q. Did examinations of men for mill itary service show what parts of the country were healthest? l. M C.
 A. Rejections of men because of physical unfitness were fewer in that strip from Texas to Canada than else where. The next lowest rate of re- jections was in the strip east of the Mississippi and in the Gulf States. The percentage of rejections were greater in New England, New York, Michi- gan, Colorado, Arizona, California and Washington. In the first of these the cause is set down to the presence of great numbers of immigrants and in- dustrial concentrations. while in the western states it is due to the presence of large numbers of health seekers.
 c. Is the mock orange ever edible? L. H. D.
 A. The mock orange is of Japanese origin and is used only as an orna- mental plant. It is of the same general family as the orange and lemon, but is | hardier and will grow much further north. The department of agriculture 1 has taken advantage of this fact and 1 has crossed the mock orange with the ordinary orange and has thus devel- oped a new citrus fruit that may be

grown as far north as the Ohio river. The fruit is called the citrange.
 O. Where do the most valuable em- eralds come from? L. w. K.
 A. The most important emerald mines are in Colombia They are gov ernment owned and are worked under concessions which limit production. that the market may not be spoiled. They are in the far interior and in the high mountains.
 Q. How can one figure the amount of corn in a crib? H. c. w.
 A. Measure the length of the crib in inches, multiply this figure by Its width in inches, then multiply this figure by the depth of the corn in inches. This gets the cubic contents of the crib in inches. Divide this flg- ure by 2,74S, which is the number of cubic inches in bushel The result will be the number of bushels. Rough ly, two heaping bushels of corn on the cob will make one bushel of shelled corn.
 Q. Can stars be seen with the naked eye in the daytime from the bottom of well? L. P.
 A. In the reduced light at the bot tom of a well the pupil of the eye would dilate. letting in more light, and stars could be seen in the daytime.
 Q. Is the star Spangled Banner" our national anthem? H. N. A No song has ever been made our national anthem by offiical action. Foreign countries consider The Star | Spangled Banner" our rational anthem and the army and navy so recognize it when they require our soldiers and sailors to stand at attention when 1t is | played.

The Strike of the Shopmen

The sudden strike of the railway shopmen against the orders the heads of the union precipated by disappointment. Whatever the leaders thought when they appealed to the president for relief from the high cost of living, and we believe they wanted genuine temporarily relief, their less far sighted followers expected immediate action in the shape of higher wages They resented the delay that ensued and the reference of the matter congress The president disappointed them What had congress to do with it? Was the president transmitting the buck?
 They believed that the wage increase would be granted for the asking. The president had never before since the roads taken by the administration referred to congress. The director had always granted the increase Why could he not do now? And we confess we do not see, and the president has not explained when or how the rail- road administration has been dvested of of the powers it has exercised with respect to the roads. If the administration cannot grant these increases without the assent of congress it has certainly ceeded it's powers in allowing the increases already twice granted since November r, 1917 There has been change of the law and has ques- toned the power of the administration either wages.
 do know whether the president is asking congress for its whether he is asking it's advice a matter of expedency If the latter the presidents nature is undergoing change. He sought the advice of democratic congress. Was it because he dstrusted it's wisdom and is it now that he has great confidence in republican congress?
 It is unnatural suspicion that the president believes that the end of the rope has been reached the matter of railway wage and rate raising; that there are more people more voters likely to resent further than there voters that will be benefited by those increases. The president be- fires. the railway operatives side and the consumers becoming increasingly restive on the other Somebody is going to suffer. The democratic party to date has claimed the gratitude of railway employees and has received their support in cleo tions-1916 and 191S though the latter that sup port could defeat, owing part to the op- position to administration policy which the special favor shown the railway had partially contributed This opposition is pronounced If it be abated if the abatement of it should result in the alienation of the support which the railway workers have given the party, either dis agreeable contingency the president desires that the republican party shall bear part of the odium for either course that may be pursued
 Serious trouble is confronting It is almost tain that if the wages increased there will be wide spread and stubborn strike What the re- pubicans in congress may do is uncertain or whether matter But whatever they may do should be the right thing regardless of party exigencies They should that which will be the greatest service to the greatest number and not of service to any special class.

Go Back to the Beach Cabin to Play
 Ghost and Meet a Real One

Ghosts of those who are murdered or who come to some other violent death have a most unpleasant habit of re- turning to the scene of tragedy. it is said. l certainly didn't care to play at being a mock-g ghost; neither did 1 have the least desire to meet d real one. Nevertheless, no sooner had we reached New York than I felt an inn perative pull toward the wretched cabin on the beach where the U-boat officers had died of the flu.
 It clutched me hard-I couldn't ban ish it. It was as if I couldn't believe all that had happened during that dreadful autumn storm unless I went back to the hut and located the gi-

YOUNG LADY, THIS TELLS

The month of brides having passed and the peal of wedding bells having trailed off into a twinkle of distant melody. probably those among of the romantic sex who still single, would like to know what the chances for white tulle and orange blossoms.
 Dear Miss. tell you right away whether not you will be married before autumn brings the melancholy days to waiting maidens.
 Go out into the garden Maudie, and find pea pod, having nine peas in it; nine. mystic number; more less; hunt till you find that pod with nine peas.
 Hang this pod doorway; better pick the parlor door. in opinion. the rites be done secretly, and with due solemnity
 Having hung the mystic pod, take careful watch of the first person who passes beneath it.
 If a bachelor widower first goes through that the pea vines wither.
 If woman passes through tough luck; you will sigh in vain for another year.
 If married man is the first-go slow, go slow, my dear.
 This infallibe portent this without fail peek into the future, is given by of great repute.
 Grandmother used this portent at the tender age of fourteen, and she married before she passed her fifteenth birthday.
 Maybe your grandmother knew about it. which explains why she had nine children by the time she thirty.
 Remember: nine peas in pod; hang it over a door. and watch the procession.
 If two unmarried pass through the door to- gether we don't know-maybe it means you should try Turkey for a change maybe it portends an early divorce.
 Better pick a door, we guess.

Racial Outbreaks

The Chicago riots and trust that there may be recurrence of them anywhere in the country The Chicago trouble seems to have been something more than color riot-not out break between negroes and white American citizens but between negroes of the lower class and white foreigners of equally low class.
 Such thing could not break out in many cities. tis probable though when the lower classes of both races in juxaposition they were in the vicin ty of the Chicago stock yards, such outbreaks may be expected. We have had many such riots in this country between white Americans and white for eigners and always it shown that the oridinal rioters both Americans and foreigners belonged to the social stratum, which pretty low one.

Naturally, there should be conflict between the American white and the negro The well ordered of both races tread different paths They may run parallel but they should not impnge. The white may if he chooses feel of superiority but he need not extensively assert it. The negro admits the su- periorty of the whites opportunities which have left him at this stage superior. But the negro has come far and swiftly a generation and half from the depths of slavery and ignorance and he looks forward with a confidence time when he will catch up with the white. knows that that is not matter of years or even of generation and he is willing wait
 As long as both white and negro each knows his place and knows that his intrusion upon the other will be resented there will be trouble between them and good way to avoid trouble is for each to refrain from of their racial pecuarities good thing not talk about in mixed companies of negroes and whites is the riot and good thing dwell upon is the difference between the two races good thing not to do is to start something"

Dear me, I truly be- lieve I had more fun marking my towels and sketching my own designs for monograms-and then doing them than Chrys' has in her perfectly roy al collection of linens-not thread of which she loves because she has stitched her dreams in with it"
 Even the thought of the French knots 1 had twisted into bath towels for my dover chest brought tears to my eyes. I was always ready to cry which brings me back to the ghost on the beach.
 One noon we were all tired of shop ping, and acting upon an impulse, I asked Chrys to motor across the is- land with me, just for the air and a glimpse of the sea.
 We followed the new road built above the swamp and when we reached the end, Chrys was willing enough to take the blackboard with a single hand rail which led to the sand dunes and the beach.
 The path seemed much shorter than on that awful night when I had strug gled along it, through the mist, half supported, half dragged by Bremen the Hun.
 The reeds were low. I saw the old hut from long way off
 Fishermen were moving up and down the sands. Then wisps of blue smoke blew lightly from the chimneys of the cottages. The week end crowds were gathering for their spring sport Chrys and I walked as if we, too, be- longed in one of those cabins.
