why Animals Welcome Peace.

Thousands of monkeys today are be-
Ing inoculated with influenza germs,
In order that doctors may study the
progress of the disease and discover
remedies to stay its dreaded course.
Most people will agree that it is
justifable to subject these animals
to suffering in order to safeguard hui
man life. But during the war, thou
sands of animals were condemned to
cruel deaths so that scientists could
discover the most efficacious means Of
destroying human life.
Both in Germany and In this country
the scientists who brought the horri-
BILE art of poison gas to perfection ex-
perimented upon dogs. donkeys, cats,
and other animals, and judged by its
results on these dumb creatures wheth-
er it was calculated to destroy human
life with sufficient certainty to justify
its use.
Quite apart from the, countless horses
and mules that have been slaughtered
in the war, great numbers of guinea
pigs, white mice, singing birds, and
owls have been offered up as sacrifices
to safeguard soldiers.

RUBBER FROM RABBIT BRUSH
How New Source of Supply May Soon
Be Secured-ResuIt of Wartime
Experiments.

Recent experiments by two Western
university professors have shown that
rabbit brush is probable commercial
source Of rubber, The investigation so
far reported is only preliminary
cumulative examination, begun quiet
ly some months ago as a'war measure,
but continued to prevent vitiating val
liable information partly developed.
1t has not yet been announced to be
commercially profitable, though in
Utah alone there is said to be between
500 and 1000 square miles of the
brush, and u great deal more land that
could be made to grow the plant. 1t
grows artifcially by planting and cul-
tivation, without irrigation. In average
Utah weather conditions, q harvest
could be taken every four or five years,
at light expense for seeding and har-
vesting.
Under irrigation the yield could
probably be increased fourfOid, 1t is
estimated. The quantity Of rubber in
the plant seems to vary directly with
the amount of alkali in the SOIL up to
a certain limit; thus the less value
the soil Is for agricultural purposes,
the more valuable for producing rub

How AirpIanes Can Be Employed.

LookOuts In very broken country,
cut up by deep canyons or where
mountain ridges obstruct the view, or
in a fiat country that affords no good
points Of vantage, are often unable TO
pick up all fires quickly by the rising
smoke, or to locate them accurately.
For precise location the system in use
depends on trlangulation through re-
ports telephoned from separate Obser-
walton points. Airplanes would use
wireless in reporting fires, as they have
done in communicating with the artil-
lery, and would locate fires by CO.
ordinates in the same way that gunfire
in war is directed to particular spot
or object.
From the army standpoint, the use
Of air craft In protecting the national
forests affords valuable opportunity
for training fliers and developing fur
Their the possibilities of aircraft and
the art Of flying.

WHY
Hun Advance Was Halted
by u. s. Marines

The Germans made q great mistake
In preJudging the possible effective
ness of American rifle fire, Robert G.
Skerrett, in Leslie's, writes. They
had learned from experience that
French and English troops generally
used their small arms only when with
In a range of 200 yards. 1t took our
marines to teach them what the rifle
could do at 1000 yards and less. Two
regiments of them at Chateau-Thierry
smashed the best of the kaIser's sol
diery and halted for all time the con-
fident thrust of a greatly superior
force. The Teutons advanced In
smooth columns and pushed deter
minedly forward across waving
wheat field, bent upon overcoming
Hill 165, which was held by our sea
soldiers.
The marines, trained to keen OBJ
servation upon the rifle range-nearly
all of them wearing marksman's
badge or, better, the emblem of the
sharpshooter-did not wait for the
gray-coated masses to come closer.
With deliberateness those sea soldiers
set their sights and aimed their pieces
with the same intent to score that
they had shown in the calm periods
of their practice upon the rifle ranges
at Paris island, Mare island, Guam
tico and elsewhere. Without cease,
their rifles snapped, and following
their fire came the support of artil-
lery. Machine guns ground out their
grim torrent of bullets, adding to the
toll eXacted by the rifemen. Caught
in a bewildering storm of scattering
shrapnel, machine-gun fire and the
amazingly accurate leaden hail from
our rifles, the Germans realized that
a further advance meant suicide.
Their lines hesitated, stopped and
then broke desperately for cover,
while the marines savagely raked the
woods and ravines to which the Teu-
tons had fled. This effectually ended
any hope on the part of the foe that
they might make further progress by
infiltration.

IS GOOD WORD, BUT SLANG
Why II Is Considered a Compliment to
Refer to a Friend of Either
Sex az a opal"

The dictionary recognizes the right
of "pal' to inclusion in our language,
though designating it as slang. Like
many words thus classed, il is terse
way of expressing a relationship read
lily understood but not so easily de-
fined. In good society Ii is accepted
as meaning a chum, a congenial COM
panion; in the vocabulary of crime ii
stands for confederate or accomplish.
The most natural and instructive
thing in life is q desire for congenial
companiOnship only the abnormally
developed mentality can live on a
sufficiently eXalted-or shall we say
er personalities. A pal is an intimate
friend, of either sex, to whom one
may "talk as the heart BEATS" may
confide hopes, fears, happiness, and
dsaDpOintments, certain the trust will
not be betrayed. Between opposite
sexes it excludes lovemaking or
"spOoning," but means broad, intel
ligent, faithful, yet subtle friendship,
since all friends are not pals; not nee
essarlly Il unanimity. of opinion, but
disposition to "agree to disagree" in
case of differences. There is a tacit
respect for each others individuality.
Perhaps one of the best tests Of Il
pal is that the two enjoy silence to-
gether; there is a sense of companion
ship in being together without the con-
slant trickle of words which most OF
us feel necessary unless one would be
thought unsocial.-DetrOit Free Press.

How Forests viii Be Restored.

The restoration of the devastated
forests on the western front Is to
undertaken by Norway. According {
the tentative plan, it is proposed t.
plant a belt Of Norwegian trees from
the Belgian frontier to the Ardennes.
SO great is the destructive power OF
shell fire that where large woods once
stood nothing now remains but a few
shattered stumps. In Thiepval wood
scarcely trunk Is standing, while
High wood and Delville wood are
place-names rather than collections of
trees. Vast areas In the forest of Nor
NAL are denuded Of timber, while
throughout the Somme area living
trees are the exception and not the
rule.
