FOOD FROM AIR,
LIGHT AND WATER
Harvard Professor Discloses Wa,
to Make Sugar by SYM
thetiC Process.
HIGH LIVING COST BEATEN
Plan Worked Out In Laboratory to
Reduce Atmosphere Into Basic
Food Product-Other Ways
of Making Sugar.

New York.--During the present agi.
tation over the high cost of living 1t
is interesting to note several recent
discoveries made in the field of syn
thetic chemistry. DR.. Winthrop John
Vanleuven Osterhout PHI. D., professor
of botany at Harvard university, has
hit upon a plan of making nutritious
food from sunlight, air and water.
Although this process of food max
ing is as yet confined to the laboratory
stage Prof. Osterhout points out that
many discoveries remained some time
in the laboratory stage before they
could be placed on commercial basis.
As an instance he cites the many
doubters of the practical value of cleo
tricity, and the long uphill road Edison
had to travel before he gained recog-
milton commercially.
Anent the production of nutritious
food in the laboratory Prof. Osterhout,
who is in no sense visionary, but
whose manner would indicate a prac-
teal hardheaded business man, says:
"Analyzing food we learn that the
three chief components are sugar. fats
and protein. Until recently ii was i'm
possible to manufacture sugar syn
theticaly. but now we have solved the
riddle in several different ways. Iron
rust exposed to the prismatic rays of
the sun through water makes for
maldehyde, since the rays of the sun
acting upon the rust as a contact
agent. mixed with the carbon doxide
of the air and water makes this power

HOW ARKANSAS DEALS
WITH MUTINY

The rapidity and efficiency with
which the district cont - ia'eas,
Ark, is functioning in trying and
conyicting negroes alleged to have
been i'm volved in the recent upris-
ing in that d'stsirt ought to serve
as a deterrent upon agitators ana
promoters of riots IN other sec
tions of the country.
The trouble in Arkansas has been
handled in a most satisfactory and
effective way. When the conspira-
tors began to carry out their plans,
the authorities of the law took
charge of the situation and cap
tured large numbers of negroes ana
lodged them in Jail. There was no
mob violence of retaliation by the
white people or the community. The
law was above o take its course.
The result is that IL of the
ringleaders have been sentenced to
death by the court, and virtually
all the others tried so far have
been given terms of imprisonment
in the state penitentiary. The band
of conspirators has been wiped out,
and punishment is to be melted out
in accordance with the guilt estab-
lished of those accused.
How. much better is this than
what occurred in othe places where
race riots have resulted in the kill
ing and manning of many innocent
people, where the rase hatred has
been stirred to the boiling point,
IA nothing accomplished toward q
solution of the race problem.
How much better is it for law
and order to be upheld instead OF
defed in dealing with crlminai
element.
Arkansas has been ridiculed for
its alleged backwardness in many
things, but this Arkansas community
Is putting to shame many OF the
large and enlightened" centers OF
the country, by the orderly way In
which Il has dealt with a condition
much more serious and menacing to
the welfare of the community than
those which stirred ZIP their MODS

of the laws Of shc land.

Bolshevism and the Bible.

Can you oppose bolshevism with the
/ Bible?" asks Ignace Jan Paderewski provisional
president of Poland, somewhat nettled at the
suggestion that the Leninites can be talked out
Of their lunacy. The direct answer to his ques-
ton is no, but more reasonable reply would
be that the Bible affords ample authority for
dealing with the bolsheviki as they deserve
Bolshevism is distinctly and characteristcal-
y athestic. 1t has found its readiest and most
Jealous recruits among those who had tired of
the repression of orthodox religion, of whatever
faith and who find in the license of their new
life a strange zest in defling all they were told
is holy. The Bible holds no traces Of boil
shevism, nor does it justify the claims set up
by the so-caed Christian" socialists
In Judges we are told: In those days there
was no king in Israel; every man did that
which was right in his own eyes" But there
was law and order in Israel, and strong men,
such as Jeptha, Abimelech, Gideon and long line
Of champions, maintained that law, and the peo-
pie obeyed it in letter and spirit.
The jubilee set up by the Mosaic code has
nothing in common with the program of the
bolsheviki. 1t was a system whereby the ex-
tremes of wealth and poverty were averted
among the Israelites, but nothing in it served
TO avoid the natural result of industry and thrift
on the one hand and idleness and waste on the
other This custom went the way of similar
institutions among the free tribes of the early
day. 1t has no counterpart now; the wittenage-
mote of the Saxons survives in a manner in the
national assembly of the Swiss, but as the Jews
gave over the jubilee so did the Saxons suspend
their court, the cares of increasing prosperity
leading them to delegate authority to their
chosen representatives.
The moral obligations endured, and even the
bolsheviki can not evade them. As Jeptha dealt
with the Ephraimites, and as Barak smote
Sisera, or as Gideon routed the Midanites, even
so will the forces of right and justice deal with
the elements of disorder anarchy and savagery

ANOTHER INVOICE TIME AT HAND.

Noon today marks the halfway point Of
| Woodrow Wilson's second term as president.
| The two years that have sped since March 4,
| 1917, have been the most momentous in his
tory, and the part that America has taken in
the proceedings has brought to the country much
of glory and credit.
The presidents share in the work of the
world has been enormous At home he has had
the support of an united people; his chief, and
almost sole, opposition in his war program
came from his own party. He must, therefore,
accept all responsibility for what was or was
not done. Just now the records incomplete
but it will soon be time to give as much serious
attention to the costly mistakes as has been de-
voted to approval of material achievements
At the moment the president stands at
height never before attained by mortal man.
The eyes of the world are on him, looking to
him for leadership. He seeks to induce his
countrymen to follow him in an experiment the
outcome of which is uncertain but from which
he hopes to bring great good to mankind That
he will finally have this plan tried is almost
beyond argument. Its present form will be
modified, but the germ will be unchanged.
At this time, also, it is clear that the presi-
ANitA - looAAlS dHNdu 70 yet dHOLlGI lEIll u
office. The pledge of the Baltimore platform
has vanished entirely; his taste of power wiped
out completely his notions as to a single term
as president being all one man should aspire to.
From the apex OF his greatness, he looks down
on a world, vocal in its unrestrained laudation
of him. He knows his country is devoted to
peace, and he confidently faces future in
which all countries will accept his doctrines.
Will he he content to rest on aurels gained
by having kept us out of war, led US through
war; and finally into haven where war is
pushed far back among the remote possbii-
ties? 1t looks now as if no democrat would pre-
sumo to ask nomination Woodrow Wilson
wants. His account with the country yet re-
mains to be made up, and in the calm days that
are to come the people will give more careful
consideration to the record than is now possible

Pocket Wireless Telenhonv.

London sends us word that it will not be
long until the pedestrian may be alarmed by
the ringing of a bell in his pocket, from which
he will eXhume the apparatus and proceed to
hold wireless converse with whoever has called
him. The thought is enhancing, but the practice
would have its disadvantages. Such an APP
pliance would destroy the small opportunity left
for the busy man to escape the unwelcome at
tentions Of those who consume his time to no
purpose. This would deter many from carrying
with them such instruments.
The imagination, however, easily carries the
thought bit farther ahead, and envisages the
time when communication will be carried on
by the transmission of thought, without the in
tervention of words or wires. Why not a de-
vice whereby one may challenge or arrest the
attention of another by simply taking thought
And, with the minds thus brought into touch
thoughts could be transferred, questions asked
and answered, arrangements made and agree
ments entered into, all in twinkling and with
no eXertion greater than that of thought. Such
convenience might get in the way of secret
service departments, for example, but it also
would hamper the designing plotters of what
ever degree.
The editor, the preacher, the president, and
others who guide and instruct the public would
thus be spared lot Of effort. Possibilities Of
the plan are limitless Let us have the wire
less pocket phone, but do not stop there; let it
be but step to the greater boon, and the lazy
mans paradise will be at hand.
