CRATE FIRE TEACHES LESSON

The wood fire in the open CRATE The
quiet hour of a wintry evening. Who

as the fire crackles, the only sound in
the stiffness.
Ancients in Persia, in other lands
and times, worshiped fire. 1t was the

have found the fire on the hearth an
inspiration. Painters have seen pic

them, too, in the silence of the evening

But The wood fire In the open CRATE
Is more than a symbol of purity, more
than a creature comfort, more than
sign of personal prosperity, more than
a setting for dream pictures. It's

HOW HAILST0NES ARE FORMED
According to Theory Electrical Action
Is Responsible for Storms That
Frequently Do Damage.

The formation of hail through cleo.
trical action, according to one theory,
is an interesting and even wonderful
process. The wind draws out cloud
into long, narrow strip. In that
form, owing to the great amount of
surface exposed to the air, the cloud
evaporates rapidly, producing intense
cold.
Dry particles of snow are then form
ed and these, by friction with the wa
ter drops, quickly become charged with
negative electricity. But the water
drops carry positive electricity, and
since negative attracts positive a Aim
of water is formed upon each snow
particle and IS instantly frozen into
a layer of thin ice.
At this thickness its outer surface
remains moist, the water not freezing
so rapidly there, whereupOn the cleo
trical charge changes from negative to
positive and the particle Is repealed by
the water drops and driven to the
outer parts of the cloud. Here the in.
creased cold covers it with snow, and
friction charges it anew with negative
electricity.
Repulsion is now once more changed
for attraction, and the particle rushes
back into the cloud, receiving upon its
surface another film Of water which
Is turned into a second Ice layer.
Thus the growing hailstone darts
zig-zag through the cloud, piling up its
alternate layers of snow and ice until
gravitation gains control and sends 1t
with a jingling crowd of its fellows
spinning to the ground.

SH0FAR IN HEBREW RITUAL
Wood instrument Dates Back to the
Very Earliest Youth of the
World.

Hebrew historians, with q special
eye Cor earl to the racial history, are
very proud of their shofar. They say
it is the oldest form of wood wind In.
strument in the world, that 1t was
used in the original Mosaic ritual.
1t IS the one musical instrument, says
DR.. Cyrus Adler, which has been pre-
served unbrOkeEly in that ritual.
There is even theory, voiced by
Professor Steinthal, that the shofar
antedates the people of Israel. He
says 1t probably goes back to prehis.
toric times. And another investiga-
tor points out that 1t obviously came
first from a folk solely dependent on
the growing Of sheep.
This ancient rams horn instrument
was perhaps earliest used for the sig
nails of alarm which were so neces-
sarily common in primitive society.
The lsraelltes then adapted 1t to their
religious services, and with such fit
ting effect that 1t has persisted
uniquely since the beginning,
But the Talmud indicates that, even
"liOllS tlle IeDIe"S, lue SHOldF was
also developed into a horn for CIV
ing alarms. Fundamentally these
alarms would be incidental to war.
Afterward, though, the instrument was
blown in other seasons of danger or
distress. 1t warned of famine or of
plague Of locusts or of drought And
1t was employed in the public Serv-
ice of accommodation.
The children of Israel had other
horns which were used for musical
and ritualistic purposes, but this Is
the only one which has survived.

having been in the first drive at Chau-

scratch. Later he was wounded in the
ankle at Ballau Wood but not enough
to force him TO the hospital. A few
days later he was struck on the right
shoulder with gun in the hands of
German he thought he was going to
capture. He thought the German was
surrendering and was handing him the
gun when without warning he struck

walk away when Satterlee drew his
revolver and shot him through the

all he thought of then was to kill ev-

there until few weeks ago, although
he was returned with the casuals to

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR SAYS
PACK Err CONTROL DANGEROUS

Washington, Feb. ia confidential
report made to President Wilson by
Herbert c. Hoover six months ago on
the big meat packers was made public
today by the food administration at
the direction of the president ito es-
tablish the real position of Mr.. Hoover
and the food administration on the
control Of the Chicago packing indus
tries" In recent hearings before con-
gressional committees witnesses for
the livestock men charged collusion be-
tween Mr. Hoover and the five leading
packers.
In the report. in response to re-
quest from the president for his views
on the recommendation of the federal
trade commission, Mr.. Hoover said he
reafiirmed his opinion given nearly a
year before that "there is Il growing
and dangerous domination of the ma
tions foodstuffs," and approved some
Of the commissions proposals. He
recommended constructive regulation
rather than stretching temporary war
powers of the government. and ex-
pressed the belief that the domination
Of the packers did not necessarily i'm
ply wrong doing on their part. but
was the natural out-growth "of va
rious factors which need correction"
Mr.. Hoover accepted as economical
ly sound the federal trade commission
Recommendation regarding federal con-
troll of animal and refrigerator car
service, and said stockyards should be
entirely dis-associated from the con-
troll of the packers"
He contended, however, that wrong
practices between buyers and sellers
would not be corrected by the govern
ment controlling or owning yards.
His own instinct, Mr.. Hoover said,
was against federal ownership Of the
packers branch houses and cold stor-
age and warehouse facilities. Going
into aspects of the packing industry
not covered by the trade commission
he said:
"If proper abbatoirs could be ex-
tended near the larger towns, possibly
with municipal help and the operations
therein protected from llegitimate
competition, | believe they would not
only succeed, but would greatly stimu-
late the local production Of meat ami
mails. One effect would be great
stablization of prices by wider based
market than that now so largely de.
pendent upon small group of buyers.

THE CAUSE WON"

They tell US the war isover
The war with its horror and strife,
The battle of Nations is ended
With the armistice, signed Alright;
That, at last, the great war is over,
The tide of battle turned,
And while under fire of the enemies
guns,
Our Allies, their bridges, burned.
The world with unrest made bitter
Thruout the five years Of wrong,
Made so, thru treacherous dream
of lust
By a despot whom false pride made
strong.
Our men gave their lives in conflict
With no spur of conquest or greed,
For the fate of mankind in the bal
ance,
They fought that a world might be
freed.
Our soldiers-brave men in the battles
OF the greatest war history has
shown,
Ended the carnage Of bloodshed
Defending the right, till they won
Our men whom the Country gathered
To fight in this common cause
To make this world free and equal,
Have conquered and wrought high
er laws.
The laws of u League of Nations
Had its birth thru the battles fought
And the hope of world is centered
On this deeper, higher thought
That the world in peace be united
In a brotherhood DER land and sea
Where the clash of arms snail be ended
And all men shall be free.

.ERzBERGER IS CALLED
DOWN BY \. v0GlER

Weimar, Feb. lS,-Mathias Erzber-
ger of the German armistice commits
sion, again held the center Of the stage
at this afternoons session Of the ma
tional assembly, outlining the history
Of the armistice negotiations. His
statement was in reply to bitter per-
sonal attack made upon him by Dele
gate Vogler of the German Peoples
Party. Herr Erzberger told the house
it was Prince Maximilian Of Baden who
had approached the entente because
of the iron compulsion of the high mill
itary command for peace 1t was
Field Marshal Hindenberg who de-
manded ind authorized the signing Of
the first terms, Herr Erzberger de-
clared.
Herr Vogler in his attack on Erz-
berger launched into harangue of
personal accusation and abuse. He de-
clared the happenings Sunday would
open the eyes of everyone to the di-
rection in which Germany was going
and cast doubt on the wisdom of
signing even the first armistice.
"We have lost the war" Voger de-
anu VIC lHc DldSL stIlOuS
charges against you"
At this point the house became
bedlam and Vogler, by shouting, at
tempted to continue, but cries from
the left silenced him. After President
Fehrenbach had rebuked him Vogler
continued:
1--WE assume that peace will come
very soon, but we assume that il will
be the peace Of the graveyard"
Herr Erzberger offered to resign
whenever the house desired in con-
cluding his reply to Vogler and add
ed:
" Our people must not starve. Hun
ger is the pacemaker for bolshevism.
We must offer gold and securities for
food. Capitalists must put their for
tunes at the disposal of the govern
ment so that the people will not starve.
Labor and capital must work together.
Measures Of force must be used"

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENTS DE-
CLINE TO MEET BOLSHEvIkS s

Washington, Feb. l9.-Formal re-
lection of the proposal that they meet
with delegates of the Bolsheviki and
other Russian governments at Princes
Island was handed to the peace con-
ference at Paris today by representa-
tives of the governments Of Siberia,
Archangel and Southern Russia, ac-
cordng to dispatch to the Russian
embassy here from Ambassador Bak-
hmeteff ut Paris.
In their note the three governments
said they gladly accepted the offer OF
the allies to collaborate in the interior
pacifcation of Russia, but that there
could be no conciliation between them
and the Bolsheviki, who were denounc-
ed as traitors and fomenters of an
archy.
Several plans for solution Of the
Russian problem have been laid before
the supreme council. Only one OF the
plans involves the use of force. 1t is
based on the idea that the reluctance
of the allied powers to the use os their
armies against what some of them
regard as only working mems gov
ernment," can be met by recourse to
volunteer army. 1t is held that nc
difficulty would be encountered in rails
ing almost any desired number of sol.
diers for a Russian campaign from the
millions of men now being discharged
from the armies of the entente and
America.
Several members of the council
doubt, however, whether their govern
ments would escape socialistic wrath
by even this direct method Of COM
batting Bolshevism.
In dications are that the supreme
council will fall back into waiting at
titude, although it may be found pos
sible to do something in peaceful
but effective way to weaken the soviets
through economic reconstruction.
The reparations committee of the
peace conference is speeding up its
work so as to be ready to submit esti-
mates of the damages Germany must
pay when data is required in connec-
tion with the framing of the treaty OF
peace. II is believed that this cannot
be long after President Wilson's re-
turn to France.

SEVEN SHOTS FIRED
At PREMIER OF FRANCE

Paris, Feb. l9.-Georges Clemen-
ceau, the French premier, was struck
three times by bullets in an attempt
TO assassinate him today, One bullet
entered the right shoulder ami lodged
under the left shoulder, missing the
spinal cord and the lungs. The 9TH, r
two bullets caused scarcely more than
abrasons OF the skin on the righg arm
a:Id the right hand.
In all seven shots were fired at the
premier point blank by the would-be
assassin, Emile Coffin, known in an
archistic circles as "Milou," who was
arrested directly after the shooting.
Two bullets passed through the cloth
ing of the premier
Policeman Goursat, who was wound
ed in the right eye, although not SER
iously, by one IF the assassin's shots,
told representa- of the Associated
Press that Premier Clemenceau rush
ed up to the assassin and grappleG
with him.
The premier's wound is not regard
ed as dangerous in itself, but it is felt
that there might be serious conse-
quences from it, considering the age
and infrmites of the victim.
One of the witnesses of the shoot
ing, Henry Moulin, barber's assist
ant, told the Associated Press repre-
sentative that when he heard the frs.
shot fired he believed it was the Am
orleans firing in the air, las they are
in the habit of doing" he said. Moulin
rushed out of his shop when he saw
what was happening, crying "They
have assassinated Clemenceau." He
closed with the premier's assailant
and the man threw away his revolver
and held up his hands.
Walters from nearby restaurant
joined in holding the assassin, whom
the police had some difficulty in. get
ting from them, and before the police
secured the assassin he was beaten by
the crowd. One of the men in the
crowd seemed to wish to help the pre-
mier's assailant and the crowd beat
him badly.
According to the policeman the as
sassin entirely emptied his weapon. All
the windows of the premier's auto
mobile were smashed by the bullets.
