Now, what do you suppose hap
pende to Henry Allen while he
was in France? Editor Burris
A. Jenkins was snubbed by a
second lieutenant while cover
there and his peevishness was
reflected in everything he wrote.
Something must have gone
wrong with Allen as he seems
to be obsessed with a desire to
talk in a manner most pleasing
to the Kansas City Star, and
gain for himself some notoriety.
The men of the 35th Division
fought like wild cats and were,
perhaps, to intent upon gaining
their detectives for the artillery
and Mr., Allen-to keep up.

SILK AND BIG GUN FIRING
Probability That Chemically Treated
Cotton Cloth viii Take Place Of
the More Expensive Material.

Chemically treated cotton cloth,
as a substitute for silk, Is being
tested ont by the ordnance depart
ment. If found practicable for
ordnance uses the discovery will ef-
feet the double result of meeting a
serious shortage in silk and of
bringing about a money saving in
the ordnance program estimated at
between S2j,OOO,0OO and $35, OOO.-
600.
At present millions of yards Of
silk are required in making tine
bags which contain the large pow
der charges used in the firing Of
heavy artillery.
Heretofore silk has been depend
ed upon for these bags for the rea.
son that no other cloth material
has been found that would meet the
peculiar conditions required. 1t is
essential that not a particle of the
bag c%ontainer shall remain after the
gun is fred. Otherwise a smoIder-
ing piece of the fabric might cause
4 premature explosion when a new
charge was inserted. 49, Chemical

Show How Grain Is Graded.

Show How Grain Is Graded.
Just how wheat and shelled
corn is graded under federal
standards at the large markets
by licensed inspectors whose
work is supervised by the Blu
reau of Markets, will be seen
determining grain grades, sam
rs of different classes and
types of wheat, corn, and vari-
Gus commercial samples of diff
ferent grades. At this exhibit
the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture. January 20
"a. This Government exhibit in
cludes all the equipment used in
by Farmers Week visitors at
will be demonstrated how a sam
pie of wheat or corn is taken
from a car, how the sample is
mixed divided mechanically, and
the moisture, dockage, and test
weight per bushel are determin-
cd by special equipment.
The prices paid for wheat and
shelled corn are based upon their
grading under federal standards
and farmers who visit this ex-
hibit are sure to find out why
grain prices depend upon grades.
Thru the U. S. Grain Standards
Act uniform grades for wheat
and shelled corn have been es-
tablished thruout the United
States and these grades are de-
termined by the same methods
wherever the grain is graded.
The grading of all wheat or corn
that moves across state lines is
supervised by Government rep
resentatives in the markets. Fed
eral grades are now used by all
inspection departments and are
supplied to all wheat purchased
by the Food Administration
Grain Corporation.
Although federal supervision
of grain grades under the Grain
Standards Act does not cover
country points, farmers who at
tend Farmers Week and learn
the essential features of the
grain standards can supervise in
teligently the assignments of
grades, made by country dea-
lers, to their own grade.

Out OF what the chemists call
rare earths" come what many of
the valuable products OF COM
merce, Thorium. mesothorium
and cerium do not suggest much
TO the lay mind, but we do know
gas nantes, medicinals and rad
io-active products of which medi-
cal science is making great use.
Before the war Germany import
ed rare earths from India, Brazil
and far corners of the world and
processed them for sale in a world
market. Now our chemists have
perfected methods OF processing
these earths here at home and
further, they have discovered con
siderable stores OF them in the
south and west OF our own coun-
try. The chemists are steadily
working along to a self-sufhciency
for this nation which is a salts
faction to AmericaniSm.

DELAY THAT Is COSTLY

Leaders OF the Republican Con-
gress may defy, but they cannot
refute clear evidence of their ut
terly futile and resulvless career
as the natoin's legislators during
the six months OF the present
special session. Save for the pas
sage of appropriation bills
which went to meet the heavy ex-
pense of this extraordinary ses-
sion among other things-there
has been no legislation that full
fills their own promises or that
meets the demands OF the coun-
try. But two important mea-
sures, besides the fiscal bills,
have come before the Senate in
the long period since last@May,
and no final action has been taken
with respect to either. One of
these, of course is the immeas-
urably vital treaty OF peace. The
other is the railroad bill
Failure TO ratify the treaty and
to adopt the League of Nations
has not merely delayed peace for
the present and withheld guar
antee of its continuance in the
future. but has actually disturbed
the tranquility OF the .entire
world. Strikes, riots, sedition and
agitation have been fostered by
the uncertainty which the SEN
ate's dalliance with the treaty
has created. Want of a definite
arrangement for the operation OF
the railroads has contributed to
the instability of business in ev-
cry quarter OF the country.
OF less import, but yet of sig
nificance, is the cost of all this
inaction and reaction The eX-
pense OF keeping Congress III
session for the last six months IS
$3,000,000. That is not a guess ;
it is an official figure 1t means
that Congress has spent of the
taxpayers money about ST.
100000 in fighting the treaty
and an equal sum in postponing
a satisfactory disposition OF the
railroads. All that the special
session has done in an affirmative
way could have been accomplish
ed within three weeks il there
had been a disposition to support
the President instead OF hamper
ing and humiliating him. There
has been instead a reckless waste
of time and money and oppor-
tunitv-with one of the conse-
quences of it visible in the indus
trial upheaval now in progress.

AT THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

Bessie Barriscale gives another
proof OF her versatility in Kitty Kelly
Md" her new Robertson-Cole re-
lease. distributed by Exhibitors Mu-
tual. The popular blonde stars sue
cess in this production is unique, in
as much as the role is different from
anything she has essayed for some
time. Heretofore, the beautiful Bessie
has specialized in society dramas. but
in "iKtty Kelly NJ D. she assumes
the role of a woman doctor in a west
ern mining town. and the change is
decidedly refreshing.
When the horny-handed miners of
Fracas, Arizona, heard that a woman
doctor was coming into their midst
the boys anticipated having a lot OF
fun with the feminist, and formed
reception committee to meet her al
the train an give her the "razzberry.
They changed their minds when
very chic, very pretty, and very-much-
alive young lady stepped into their
midst. The old "raZz" was converted
into an enthusiastic reception. while
every male in town quickly developed
a tummy-ache, liver complaint or in
cipient tuberculosis.
The dramatic element of the story
is excellently worked out. while the
tension is relieved by many humorous
episodes in which Miss Barriscale pro-
jects her delightfully."- sprightly per-
sonality with telling effect.

Mahan, who did much to open
our ewes to the value OF sea pow
er" renews regret that the fore
most authority on the subject in
the world did not live to see the
greatest test of sea power in his
tory. 1t would have been inter
esting to observe the supporters
and the opponents of Jellicoe him
self awaiting the verdict of the
American Admiral upon the bat
tie of Iutland For the mass OF
people i'll all countries his pro-
nouncement would have been the
autlIantic voice of history. 1t is
seldom that an umpire of his
standing appears upon an historic
scene, There is no one for the
land operations of the war, as an
other American, Ropes, has be-
come for the military activities OF
the Civil War. Yet the ordinary
person. at least, Graves categori-
cal answers. Did Grouchy lose
Waterloo for Napoleon, or didn't
hes Was Pickett's charge justi-
fed. or wasn't it? But we are al
ready getting pretty definite an
swers to some of the questions
that the world was asking one
and two years ago. 1t is the Ger
man leaders who are telling us
in effect that their final offensive
was exactly what we hardly
dared to believe at the time-the
