When Weather Observer F. c. Hor- ton, out on Fountain Heights, tele- phoned to The Age-Herald Friday night that there was another cold wave on the way, he knew what he was talking about

then discovered that the Dutch
have coined this phrase to indicate the
despised type. 1t is combination Of
the first letters Of the two Dutch
words Ooriog Whist, which means war
profits. When pronounced It sounds
like "ower."
Holland ''has the number Of these
gentry. They are spotted wherever
they go. and by an interesting system.
1t was explained to me by a Dutch
taan in this fashion: whenever you
see man with new motor car or q
new carriage you can put him down
as a prOfiteer. No self-respecting
Dutchman will buy new vehicle Thesis

concerned-petrol is scarce and too
high for the ordinary man. Some
profiteers try to disguise their cars by
buying low motor car numbers"
The profiteers have grown to such

q fitting irony it Is located near the
peace palace. Here they have taken
possession Of scores Of imposing res
licences, whose owners have not been
able to maintain them under war con-

new rich. Holland imposes a tax Of
80 per cent on war profits. Since 1915
1t has yielded the government nearly
$1O0,OO0,O00, which would mean q
gross total of nearly $500, 900, 900. But
these actual taxes are about as fair

History Of q Star.

The history Of a star begins with
dust and ends with dust. 1t takes its
form out Of chaotic nebulae, passes
through period Of life, grows cool,
then dark and dead, and ultimately
dashes into another dark cloud OF
star dust, and is thus turned back into
nebula.
We on earth live our lives In such q
short moment that evolution among
the stars is not at once apparent. II
would require great many centuries
to actually see a blue sun become
white. then yellow, then finally red.
While 1t is not possible to watch any
one star living its life, yet by noting
the characteristics Of great many,
a complete and logical chain Of evi.
dence may be found, which includes
representative stars Of every type In
the sky.

Government Ownership.

The United States has attained its
position as world power through in
dividual initiative and its initiative has
been made possible by the rewards Of
industry, energy, foresight and ability!
Since the beginning of our govern
ment it has always been held that gov
ernmental interferences should be as
little as possible. and merely of a reg
ulatory character. The success of this
plan has been undoubted, and in con-
firmation of it may be noted the fact
that overreguiation, although a CON-
paratively minor matter, has been pro-
ductive of trouble rather than of sue
cess.
We have drifted rapidly from this
idea Of things in the past two years
and we see today governmental control
of railroads, of the telegraph and tele-
phone lines, of the express companies,
of the cables, and during the war, COM
plete and absolute control of industry,
now, however, being modified. The
average citizen believes that there was
a certain necessity for this control dur
ing the war, but he was given to un-
derstand in explicit terms that it was
only for the period of the war and
would not be continued. The situation
today, however, is disturbing to the
average citizen because there is WELL
defined attitude on the part of govern
ment authorities to continue control
and to bring about situation which
will insure such con sr0l and eventually
ownership.
This is entirely contrary to the spirit
of the constitution, to the wishes of
the people and to the best interests of
the country. In the short time in which
governmental control has been exercis-
ed there have been waste and extrav-
agance, and it is this very thing which
has always preciuded government own
ership. The people. understand that
government control of industry will
mean excessive costs, and this is dem
onstrated in the railroads, in the tele-
graph and telephone companies, in in
dustry, and in the express companies
during the past few months.
The shipper today is paying Is per
cent more in the way of rates for a
service which is not comparable with
that rendered under private ownership.
The poorer classes of the country are
prevented from travelling because of
rates have been increased, also rates
for telegraphing and telephoning at the
same time. Service has sadly deter
iorated. The element of politics enters
into industry coincident with govern
ment.i control. sand 3itaissthe experience
of every citizen that workers under
governmental authority, secure under
the civil service, have little considera-
ton for public rights, or for the neces-
sites of the average citizen. Govern
mental control and direction Of our
public utilities will mean vast waste
and extravaganza, the building up OF
political machines, decreased efficiency
and the positive elimination Of that
right to service which the citizen de-
