PARAvANE PROVED ITS WORTH
vance Is Known to Have Been
Sunk by Mines.

The oddly of the word "paravane,
as it now reaches the general public,
shows how well an important secret
was kept during the historic years
1917-18. During those years the in.
vention, perfected at Portsmouth,
England, was. added to some 1000
British vessels, and no case Is known
in which ship thus protected was
damaged by sunken mine. Towed
under water on both sides Of the bow.
the paravane, shaped like kite, met
the mooring wire of the sunken mine
DETECTED the hidden menace to a safe
distance from the ship, severed its
mooring, and left 1t free to come to
the surface where it could be exploded
by gun fire. Seamen naturally enough
soon came to speak Of the paravanes
as "otters," and they enabled many a
vessel to travel safely through mine
infested waters. Several hundred
American ships had been thus
equipped at the signing Of the armi-
stice, and 1t Is a pleasing thought that
the cessation of hostilities saved about
$1O,OOO,O00 which the United States
meant to spend in providing paravanes
for American shipping.

HAS WON PLACE OF HONOR
Salvation Army's Work for FIfty.Four
Years Recognized ~ Worthy Of
the Highest Praise.

Except for the war the Salvation
Army would have celebrated Its fiftieth
birthday four years ago. but there
could hardly have been q better re-
minder Of what the army had done
and become In half century than the
recent award Of the Victoria Cross to
three Salvation Army soldiers for their
service In France. Fifty-four years
ago things were very different: the
first appearances of the salvationists
aroused opposition, rowdies tried to
break up the meetings. and on at least
one occasion members of the future
army were arrested In England as
"disturbers of the peace" Originally
simply an attempt to make converts
by outdoor preaching, the movement
which William Booth started In July.
1865. was put on military basis and
became the Salvation Army in 1878.
since which time 1t has grown from
IS corps in England to about 1900
corps and Outposts in more than GO
countries. The army was officially
recognized by King Edward VII when
he received the founder at Bucking-
ham palace in 1904; different yet re-
markable "official recognition" oc-
Cured quite recently when tableau
honoring the Salvation Army was made
the climax of the current "Ziegfeld
Follies" on Broadway.

WHY
Men of Medicine Oppose
Euthanasia

Although attempted suicide Is a
felony punishable with severe penal
ties these are rarely inflicted, cor
oners' juries being inclined to assume
that trouble or pain had driven the
sufferer temporarily insane. And
many persons hold that under certain
circumstances a person has a right to
die, right to demand that his physi.
clan give him a lethal dose of poison
that will end his sufferings with a
painless death, called euthanasia. But
doctor who lent himself to such an
arrangement would be committing
murder under the law, and the gross
est Of malpractice, that would at least
result in his expulsion from the pro-
fession. Those who argue for euthana.
sia would have the law and the rules
Of the medical societies changed to
permit what they would call this work
Of mercy.
Physicians, however, do not desire
to have any such responsibility thrust
upon them. 1t is all very well to talk
Of hopeless" cases, but no expert
enced doctor dares call any case
hopeless" for all who have had q
large practice can recall cases that
have seemed utterly hopeless suddenly
take turn for the better and recover.
In the words Of the Lancet (Lon-
DOM, "the medical profession would
disclaim anything approaching infalli-
bility." "While there is life there is
hope" is an old proverb that the medi-
cal man has to justify by providing
examples of it's application.
Nor would the doctor care to share
the responsibility with any one else.
Is the patient to be the Judge? Must
the sufferers wife or other relatives
be consulted? How about the insur-
ance companies that hold policies on
his life? Then there are the many
possibilities Of complications after
death. Suppose, for instance, a ques-
ton were to be raised as to whether
the condition Of the patient justified
the legal murder, as 1t very well might
be. This would scarcely make for the
peace Of mind Of the responsible physi-
clan.
This summary of the Lancet's argu-
ment leaves out Of consideration all
the religious and ethical principles
that are involved.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1919-09-19

we have after two years when we
quit Roxbury and came here? We
had $40. didn't wel We've been here
four months. and how much have we
got? q We've got $3.50, Of new money,
that's what we've got And it's clean
money, Billy, honestly earned. I'd
rather have that than q million that
was grated. We're not getting along
so badly. Maybe somebody else is
getting whole lot more that doesn't
deserve It half as much. But I guess
these things will be Strengthened out
If fellows like you don't 60 looney and

had so much money ahead In your life,
Billy Noxon, and know 1t.
Nov, who's the head devil over
there at the yard In getting up all this
/. w. w. sentiment? Is It black-muz-
zled fellow they call SaundersonT"
swell, Saunderson's the smartest,
most independent man in the yard, If
that's what you mean, and not afraid
to speak his mind. The fellows listen
to him because he's there with the
goods"
81 thought so. I sat behind him and
some other anarchists In a street car
yesterday, when he ought to have been
at work. and know what he thinks.
I heard him tell the man with him
that II was about time the 'boorzhwa'
was kept from monopolizing every
thing, including the most beautiful
and desirable wives'-that's exactly
what he said, Billy Noxonw
SWELL" responded Billy, rather
doubtfully, che meant that working
man can't compete with a rich one
for a girl, when he can't send her
flowers and give her buzz-car rides and
such things"
"Billy, you're q simp. He meant
because he said sO-that the women
ought to be nationalized. Understand
that? Made the property Of the men
equally, like the food and the clothes
and the houses and automobiles He
said 1t was too early to spring that
idea yet. but 1t would surely come"
Billy tried to say something, but the
little wife kept on. BILLY. didn't tell
you before, but twice that black devil
has tried to pick me up on the street.
Yesterday when he got up to leave the
car he grinned at me and winked, and
he said out Of the corner Of his mouth
as he passed: Pretty peachP Billy
NoxOn, do you want me nationalized-
for Saunderson7 Are you for the boil
sheviks or for meT
Billy NoxOn found Saunderson in the
yard next day, and hammered him for
five minutes. He told him that he'd
lick him every time he saw him.
Wherefore, Saunderson is now agitat-
ing elsewhere, and there hasn't been
any strike in the yard. Maybe evec5
thing is not exactly as 1t should be
as between labor and capital, but as
between Billy and Elsie, bolshevism
hasn't look-in.

Would Return the Favor.

Some years ago there was a Fourth
of July celebration at town In north
ern New York, where my father was
pastor of church. During the day
several out of town couples came to
the parsonage to be married, and one
husky bridegroom as soon as the knot
was tied, asked: "What are the dam
ages?" Father replied that he made
no particular charge for marrying peo-
pie, but left the amount to the gener-
osity of the groom. THANK you,"
said the young man, "Tll do as much
for you sometime" and walked out,
leaving us all convulsed with laughter,
but when they reached the street the
bride would 20 no farther until

AIDED BROTHERS IN FIELD
How Women In Civil War Times Went
About Their Activities In Work
of Mercy.

The activities of women in war work
recalls the work of the women during
the Civil war in little village Of
New York. William III. Shelton, in a
reminiscent article in Century, says:
"Our village had a decided opinion
about the war, and when the ladies
who had played battledore and shuttle
cock wanted to do their bit in a Red
Cross way they selected the little red
cannon house as the scene of their
activity. The yellow gun carriage,
with its double trail, was wheeled out
upon the grass, its brass gun actually
pointing south, with the round iron
