There are two forces that must be
overcome. The first is the force of III
ertia, o. the tendency Of great body to
continue in the direction in which it is
headed. Ii was the operation Of this
force which destroyed the Titanic. When
the iceberg appeared in the path OF the
steamship the vessel was moving with
such momentum that its direction could
not be changed in time to avoid a COLI
sion.
But the direction in which Il steamship
is moving can be changed il you give il
leeway enough and time enough. The
most perfect steering gear yet invented
is not powerful enough TO overcome iii an
instant the force Of inertia.
Philadelphia has been moving i'll q
given direction for years. 1t is bigger
than any steamship and the momentum
which it has acquired is 50 great that
it is unreasonable to expect its course to
be changed overnight. We are accus-
toned to the present charter. The whole
machinery of the city government is
geared in accordance with its reguIu-
tions. And it is in motion.
But it can be headed III a new dircc-
ton when enough people decide that
they want change. If the attempt to
send it en- new paths had begun this win,
ter for the first time, there would be
little hope Of accomplishing anything
this year. But this is the elimination Of
a long period of discussion by men who
have not despaired of better things.

On Seeing Nun in Tsxicab
Little sister, did you know,
When I saw you through the glass of the

That your life held as great contrasts
AS the lives of deposed kings and czars?
One moment, lonely cell:

Fifth avenue!
How strange the streets must have seemed
to you,
I was in bus,
And at Forty second street the traffic
halted US.
Side by side, and I could almost have
touched you

Like the fool that was,
And I felt ashamed of myself
When 1 saw in your hands rosary
Your lips were moving,
And turned away.
When you reached your destination,
I still wonder. unworldly little sister,
II you realized that even you
Were expected to tip the chauffeur!

is a greater measure Of home rule. We
cannot get that degree of home rule
which we should because the constitution
will not permit it. But we can secure
greater control over our own affairs.
The adoption of the provision in the char
ter draft of the committee of citizens
permitting the city to clean its own
streets and collect its own ashes and
garbage when it decides that it is not
more prudent to permit contractors to
do this work would be distinct gain for
home rule. 1t puts the whole matter up
TO the discretion Of the responsible au-
thorities. No valid reason can be urged
against IL.
The other changes proposed are for
the purpose Of making the city govern
ment more responsive TO popular senti-
ment. The present Councils are not rep
resentative of the people. The members
of Select Council are elected from wards
and majority Of the members repre-
sent a minority of the population. A
Council elected from constituencies OF
uniform population would be really rep
resentative. And a small Council of Il
single chamber would be a much more
efficient body and more quickly respon-
sive to the popular will than the present
large and unwieldy local legislature.
We want to separate the police and
fremen from politics so completely that
they cannot be used as the tools of any
man, whether he be ward boss or the
agent of a political organization holding
Office as the Commissioner of Public
Safety.
We want proper budget system and
the abolition of the mandamus evil.

MOVE TO REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates Of Change Will Bring the
Matter to Attention Of League
of Nations.

One Of the first projects to be laid
before the League of Nations, when 1t
gets ready for new business, is one to
revise the calendar and make 1t uni
form throughout the world. Bureau
officials of the United States, Swizer-
land and Great Britain got into touch
with church officials before the war on
the subject Of calendar revision. and
have kept up consideration Of the mat
ter since. Church leaders say an
agreement has been reached and a
uniform report Is nearly ready to 60
to the league.
The calendar has not been revised
before because of objections from the
churches to dates for the great re-
ugious feasts. These objections are
said to be removed. A fixed date for
Easter, the adding of thirteenth
month. the making Of every week be-
zin with Sunday and having exactly
28 days in each nonth-these are the
main features agreed on. Church peo-
pie favoring the revision say that II
the league itself cahnot act, It can
designate a calendar congress to do
20, to sit at Geneva.

butchered inspection showed that the
steers which were fed cottonseed cake
or q mixture Of cake and corn with
pasture dressed out higher than the
cattle which had pasture alone.
While the steers that had pasture
alone made gains cheaply, the total
gains were not large, and the steers
did not take ON a high finish. Their
unfinished condition is reflected In the
small margin on which they were sold
and low dressing percentages. Thus
the profits they returned were smaller
than for the steers In the other two
groups.
The cost. Of gains Of steers on pas
ture' IL greatly increased BY feeding
cottonseed cake, It was found, but the
better market price received for cake
fed cattle usually pays for the addi'
tional cost Of feeding cake, and re-
turns q greater average profit than
- realized on the grass-fed cattle. One
Of the distinct advantages Of supple
menting pastures for concentrates 10
the fact that steers 20 handled can be
finished more quickly and can be mar
keted earlier than steers getting grass
alone. Thus the cattle can be sold be-
fore the rush Of grass-fed cattle gluts
the market and depresses prices.
Moreover, when cattle are marketed
early, the pastures have time to re-
cuperate and furnish good grazing for
other stock during the fall.
There is only one case, says the bull
letin, when pasture alone is prefera-
bic to pastures with concentrates.
Steers Of inferior quality may return
more profit by grazing alone than by
grazing with the addition OF supple
mentary feeds, especially when they
are on good pastures that are cheap.
Scrub steers do not respond readily
30 the use Of good feeds, and even
when well finished do not command
satisfactory prices in competition with
weIl-bred cattle similarly finished. The
better the quality of the steers, the
safer It Il to give them high-priced
feeds

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrtculture.)
Feeding cottonseed cake to steers as
a supplement to summer pasture in
creases materially the rate of gains
made by the animals, causes them to
finish more quickly and take on high
er degree Of finish, and increases the
margin between the buying and selling
prices, specialists of the United States
department of agriculture say in Bull
!etin TIT, just published by the depart
ment. The bulletin is a report of ex-
periments in fattening steers on sum,
mer pasture conducted comparatively
by the department and the Alabama
experiment station in 1912 and 1913.
and the Mississippi experiment station
in 1915 and 1916.
All the experiments were carried out
under actual and typical farm condi'
tions. Consequently the results ma!
be applied directly in many regions tc
the management and feeding Of cattle
on pasture. In each experiment,
groups Of steers were kept on pas
'ture alone; on pasture with supple
mentary feed Of one-half corn chop and
one-haH cottonseed cake; and on pas
ture with q supplementary feed Of cot
tonseed cake. The average daily gains
for each animal, which may be consid'
cred the most valuable standard in
judging the efficiency Of rations, wert
1.49 pounds for the steers getting pas
ture only; 1.s3 pounds for the steers
getting cottonseed cake with pasture;
and 1.53 pounds for those on pasture
supplemented by the mixture Of cake
and corn chop.
The initial cost of the steers per 100
pounds Of the three groups was the
same for any one year, but In each
case the steers on pasture alone sole
for q lower price. The margins BE-
tween the buying and selling prices of
the cattle were always in favor of
those which were fed supplements with
their pastures. The margins aver
aged less than Is cents a hundred
pounds for the steers on pasture alone,
compared to 80 cents for animals
which were fed cottonseed cake with
pasture, and 811k cents for the ami
mails whose pasture was supplemented
with the mixture of cake and corn
