Unified Varied WRITING Forms.

When Charles the Great became
monarch Of central Europe, among
other great ideals he set himself to
unite the learning of Christendom by
purifying and unifying the many and
varied forms Of writing. To do this
he went back to the original Roman
model. The invention of printing came
as Il great advance, and at first the
type took the form of writing hand.

Poor, indescribably poor, is that
girl who has gifts clear mind and
active hands, and who has not been
taught how to use them, wandering
aimlessly through bfe. mediocre in
everything, without definite aim,
seeking vainly for occupations to
amuse Or distract, performing her
body to crafty ignorant vanity, in
juring herself by late hours and bad
food, sparkling dimly in the struggle
for a wealthy husband, and then as a
wife realizing her weakness and lack
of worth; as mother, weeping bitter,
singing tears as she sees the results
of her miserable life magnifed in her
children, and wailing piteously for
help and strength when it is too late.
No sarcasm this; the scientific man
truns to his work with heavy heart
after studying such a case. But
object teaching is natures teaching,
and many repetitions are necessary
before people will take the lesson and
its full meaning to heart.

A cheerful atmosphere is important

posed to an incefsant hail storm OF

SIGNS OF CHANGES.

Tn addition to other evidence which indicates a change in the attitude of
 the Mexican government under Car ranza, there is to be added the permit which allows the sending of 15o 900 rounds of ammunition from this coun- try to the leighbor to the south which was given by thi1 government That at least indicates a growing conf dence in the purpose of tho Mexican government to follow the right course in dealing with the outlaw factions which are stiIl a menace to that country. and the desire to extend such help as it can in adding greater sta bility 10 the existing government. It is to be presumed, however, that such ammunition is 10 be used for the pur- poses which are indicated else such exportation would have been denied.
 Mexico must realize the necessity of suppressing the outiawry which still exists in that country. In such an effort it can safely rely upon such as- sistance as this country can give Cor the quicker it can be put down the quicker will there be an end to the e->sASx troubles and the efforts of

The Illicit Drun Trade.

Ar. Editor; May I commend heart fly your editorial on the "IIiicit Drug Trade" in which we bring home the personal responsibility of those who engage in thisa and similar traf- fcs for the damage they 6o by such sales. It is quite true that prohibi- tory laws, although holding such dam aging traffics more in check than as if they were left free. are still evad- ct to a disastrous degree, and will continue to he evaded. as long as there are those wko are willing 10 sell the stuff for the sake of the long green end who. as The Bulletin truly says Care nothing for the effects which are bound to be produced upon hu- nnanity." But I believe that if more newspapers were as outsl-oFen Ns is The Bulletin in this editorial, in re. gard to the personal responsibility oi
 those who engage in these tratfics, il
 would have some restraining inffu- once.
 Many newspapers, as indeed many individuals seem to be content witt coping faws instead of trying tt

tinent, and hcln to naakts hose engag- ed in such trlffics to realize their per- sanal responsibility for the ruin they cause. the tf:ect upon public senti- rent would be measurabiv letter
 -tnd it is not fair to add that the Clergy and all teachers lave similar opportunity to help develop a more wholesome and effective public senti- r1ent in these matters
 Something similar may he said as to vicious or naudiin films in nov ing pictures houses: the responsibili- t. for the bad influence Of tllese rests directly with the proprietors and on- orators who show such pictures. Probably many of thes2 proprietors and operators do it throu g;.lessly. as all in the game Of rRakins money. without realizing how tbe spread of fhe influence of vicious or degrading films helps 10 drag down the lives of the irnpressiorable aui thoughtless young people who see them.

PROTECTION. DENIED.

Not a little disappointment is be- ing manifested in Indiana because the legislature in that state failed to act favorably upon a bill which would have given added protection to the purchasers of security. The effort was made to have so called blue sky law enacted along the line with what has been done in other states and the government, state organiza tions and every honest banker broker and cap- italist were said to have favored 1t. It. would therefore appear to have re- ceived a sufficiently strong backing to have brought about its passage.
 Tn its failure, however, the people of the state must rely as in the pass upon their own judgment in tfealing to this situation the Indianapolis News declares that there Is now mo ade- auate law 10 protect the inexper- fenced and uninformed people from ihc get-rich- quick sharks who have found Indiana sgch 8, profitable field for their operations. Many q Liberty tond that was paid for in small in SAAlihChtS' SdNtu bg Sctt uSlfldi IrOu1 an inadequate wage, has already gone into the hands of the dealers in worthless stocks. and many more will go the same way because the legisla- tors Of Indiana, who were sworn to serve tho interests of the people, fail cd 10 do so."
 Such being the case the people in that state would seem to have been left out in the cold as to the needed protective measures Ii is bad enough tc note the losses which take place from the imposition practiced upon the Sullible, but it is worse when a l' gislature refuses to fake action, and do what it can to reduce the appor tunities of those who ara engaged iI1 dishonest activities. Those who have no claim for protection are apparent ly the ones who have received n1ora consideration.

The Anthrostraca of Connecticut, by Beverly Waugh Kunkel Ph. D., pro- lessor of biology at Lafayette Col lege, Easton. Pa. is the title of a work that has just been l.rtlished as Bulletin 26 of the state geological and natural history survey.
 The group of animals treated in this work is numerous and Is found mainly in the sea. Except for q few marine species which destroy submerged timbers and still fewe: terrestrial species which damage vegetation. the Arthrostraca are helpful agents. They perform an important service as scav- engers by destroying decaEing matter along the shore and also furnish a very large part of the food ,of most of our valuable edible fishes.
