BOND HOLDERS NOT TO
 FLOOD MARKET

The United States government bor- rowed money from you to finance the war You hold the governments S promise to pay you back. This prom ise is called Liberty Bond or Vic tory Note. On this bond is stated the conditions under which the gov ernment borrowed the money from you.
 For instance: If you hold bond of the Third Liberty Loan, it states that on April 15 and October 1 5 of each year until maturity, you will re- ceive interest on the amount you paid for the bond. Other issues bear other rates of interest and other maturity dates, all of which are clearly stated on the bond.
 Now, if you keep your bond until the date when the government pays you in full for 1t. you do not need to worry if, in the meantime, the price is low one day or high the next. You and Uncle Sam are living up to your agreement with each other, and neither will lose by it.
 On the other hand, if you sell your Liberty Bond now. you will find that the man you sell it to will not give you a dollar for every dollar you paid for it. The price has been brought down because so many people are of- fering to self their bonds. If the market is flooded with tomatoes, you can buy them cheap. but if everyone

PERMANENT DRAFT CLAUSE IN THE
 WADSWORTH BILL
Are We to Join the Conscript Na- tions? It Looks that Way. The Per- manent Draft Clause in the Wads- worth Bill.

Last week we sent out a flying postal card announcing the adoption by the Senate, of the Wadsworth Army Reorganization Bill, minus the compulsory military training features. but boldly fastening the draft upon the country as the foundation of our permanent military policy.
 Section 69 (which was originally Section 73) provides that whenever Congress and the President declare a national emergency" to exist, then all able-bodied men between the ages of IS and 5 become immediately 1ia- ble to compulsory military service. Other clauses of the bill grant large powers ito the General Staff, the effect of which will be to pass the male population under the aegis of the General Staff the minute war or a national emergency is declared.
 If Congress and a President can be jockeyed into declaring war on Meu- co-something which is distinctly among the possibilities of the not distant future-the politicians won't have to worry about the draft It's already done.
 A war with Mexico, it is estimated, would require at least 100000 men, ! owing to the difficulties of guerilla warfare and the intense feeling which an invasion would arouse among all factions. Thus the draft would insure a steady supply of Is year old lads to win Mexico for Hearst and Senator Fall.
 But the language of the Wadsworth bill is peculiar. It establishes the draft whenever Congress and the President declare a national emer- gency'' to exist. This is clearly in- tended to apply tc strikes or other popular demonstrations.

TURKS MASSACRE
 ARMENlANS IN
 NEAR EASTLA

very vivid account of the Turk ish uprisings in Armenia has just been sent back by Dr. M. c. Wilson a medical worker for the Near Eas- Relief, who was stationed at Marash at the time of the outbreak here.
 "I was in the hospital operating room." he writes. when the first shots rang out and I saw the people on the housetops swarming like rats into the holes on the roofs Not a Turk was to be seen anywhere. but terrible rife fire from many thousand rifles bon1barded the city.
 The Turks were maSsacring Ar nenaans, Many fled to our com pounds, some of them terribly wound ed and telling of the most horrible murders of their families. and friends. The women and children. as well as the men, were rassacred wholesale by rife. sword and axe"
 This state of affairs went on for nearly three weeks, during which time the French were outnunbered five to one and were continually on the de- fensive. The supplies at the Amer ican compound were fast giving out and the people were reduced to eating horse flesh. Just when the situation was becoming desperate French re- Inducements appeared in the distance
 
 raised once more---only to be dashed by the unexpected order to evacuate at once
 "The events of that night when the French received their orders to leave the city, were the most horrible I ever experienced. To begin with it was the most bitterly cold night of the winter. A sharp wind was blowing that made it almost impossible to
 rOt-, ,1n bearing the wounded French. The Arnenians who braved the weather in the hopes of escaping from the cru city of the Turks under the protec- ton of the French troops, went out into the night, many of them, in noth- ing but rags. These people suffered enough that night for an average hell in my opinion"
 After the evacuation of the French troops, which was accomplished with out the knowledge of the Turks, Dr. Wilson went, accompanied by an- other relief worker to the Turkish quarter to attempt to bring about an understanding whereby the safety of the Armenians left in the city might be assured. After three days of most tioklish diplomatic proceedings, an arrangement was arrived at, guar anteeing protection to all Armenians who would give up their arms.
 "Even so," concluded Dr. Wilson's letter, ''the Armenians are treated like dogs. They have been robbed of practically all their possessions and many of their houses have been burned to the ground. Out of the 2O,00O in Marash before the war, 10,- 900 are left here destitute-to be fed and clothed by us-2000 went with the French with only their clothes on their backs, and the other 5000 are all dead-and considered to be SC by the survivors.

WHY BANQUETS
 TO AID STARVING!

"You are hereby invited to attend a. banquet for the purpose of helping the starving millions of Europe. Special speakers and musicians have been provided to make the occasion interesting and inspiring. Your pres ence is earnestly desired by the Committee, which has worked hard to make this gathering a success. Tickets, $2 plate, may be secured of MT. --- at the close of the morning service" Notice in a re- cent church bul1etin).
 What is the reason that nothing can be done for suffering humanity without getting up a banquet at $2 plate? If we are in need of creating enthusiasm for any good cause, why do we need to eat indigestable food at an unearthly hour of the night in order to help the good cause along. And why are we tortured afterwards by after-dinner speakers who try to be funny in the face Of starving children and homelesss mothers, for whom, supposedly, the banquet is being given?
 At a recent banquet held under
 the direction of a Chamber of Com
 merce and attended by representative
 business and church men and women.
 the services of a professional actor
 from a local theatre were secured by
 the "committee'' to enliven the gath
 ering and add enjoyment to the fes- tive banqueters He convulsed the audience, which was already con-
 vulsed by a rich seven-course dinner,
 with his funny stories and gestures. What this banquet was held for was to raise money for the rebuilding
 of a ruined and devastated village in France. The picture of the home lessness, the starvation, the misery, the complete horror of the people over there should have pervaded the occasion. Perha ps it did in the nina of some of the banqueters, after they had gone home to their own com fortable and luxurious dwellings, and had the nightmare that gallops over | the forms of seven-course dinners at banquets. But instead of a gathering | of compassionate Christians, met in | all seriousness and decency in a worthy cause, these people needed to l be amused while raising a little easy ! money for poor humanity!
 | In the name of all that is called l philanthropy, let us do away with sc I much of this tbanquet' business in l doing the Lords business ''S2 a 1 plate'' will keep a child alive tive | whole weeks over in France or Ar ] menia.-Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, in | Christian Herald.

ELECTRIC POWER
 UNIFICATI0N TO
 LOWER HIGH COST

Pasadena, Cal, May 22.--Three hun dred or more leaders of the electrical industry of the United States, here for the opening of the four-days con- vention of the National Electric Light Association today, will listen to plans to cut the night cost of living by electrTfying railroads and uniting physically all the electric power com panieS in the United States.
 Increased, efficient and economical production alone is the solution of the night cost of living problems, 9 declared H. M. Aylesworth, of New York, executive manager of the as- sociation, in outlining the subjects to rbe discussed at the convention. Out increasing the number of men em- ployed but by diverting the channel of their energies
 MT. Aylesworth said identification of railroads was bound to cone. Eliminate the necessity of railroads hauling coal for their own use,' he said, and, with their present equip ment, they could handle more than twice the normal freight traffic of the country. Spoilage of perisha;ble crops would be lessened and speed in ship mentS would help to stabilize prices by more nearly meeting the law of supply and demand. E1ectrification of the railroads will mean the saving of millions of dollars and the conser- vation of enormous quantities of coal each year."
 MT Aylesworth said that a commit tee representing the association, which has been cooperating with the Sec
 retaries of the Navy, War, Treasury, Labor and Commerce, had made
 survey of the electrical resources of
 the nation ito devise means of in- creasing the capacity reserve" and that their report would shed new light on the promleb of financing nec- essary extensions.
 Physical inter-connection of cleo uric light and power lines,'' he said 'talready has been ordered by several State public utility commissions. We expect this action to Joe enaulated by other commissions because it means better and more continuous service for the public and more economical operation of the individual companie es by tending to eaualize the power load factor. By this physical inter-connec- | ton, individual companies having sur plus electric energy would furnish the surplus to adjacent companies having greater customer demand than capac- 1 ity. Interruptions to service through breakdowns, fuel shortage, or water power failure also would be min l imized.'

ENGLISH LABOR TO ASK PEACE
 WITH S0VIETS

London May 22.---Demands that Great Britain and her Allies in the war make peace with the Soviet gov ernment of Russia will be submitted to the annual conference of the La bor Party, to be held at Scarborough in the latter part of June. The In- dependent Labor Party which is af- fi1iated with the federated Labor has suggested a resolution for adoption in the convention which proposes not only recognition of the Soviet government but that fraterna1 greet ingS be sent to the Russian Socialist republic. Another proposal calls for a international conference of all la Dor parties throughout the world and requests that the Russian government would be expressly asked to send delegates here.
 The Hampstead Labor Party has given notice that it will propose motion that the Labor Party secede from the Second Internationa1e.
 The Birmingham Central offers resolution declaring that the Allied peace treaties grossly violate the professed objects for which the gov ernments of the Allied and Associated nations entered the war.
 The Glasgow Trades and Labor Council suggests the adoption of resolution in favor of the cance11a- ton of the war debts of the Allied nations and advocates an interna- tiona1 loan and the establishment of machinery for a world organizati of raw materials in order to restore European production.
 The Independent Labor Party asks for Dem ocratic control of foreign policy and establishment of inter national standards of labor condi- tions. It requests that the convention put itself on record as opposed to all militarist and imperialist projects and programs.
 Eight resolutions have been sent in by local labor parties dealing with Ireland Some of these call for self determination in that country and withdrawal of British troops. The Northwest Hull Labor Party asks the convention to express disapprovaI of the governments policy in Ireland and to arrange for mass meetings all over the country to agitate for a policy of t3hands off Ireland" Other resolutions raise the ques- tions of direct action, nationaliza- ton of the railways and public ownership and control of the liquor trade.

is clamoring for tomatoes and there are few to be had, the price goes up. The same is true of Liberty Bonds Short-sighted people are dumping them on the market, and wise ones are buying them.
 The best advice that can be given to the owner of a Liberty Bond IS this: Hold the bond you bought dur ing the war; it is as safe and sound as the United States government itself.
 Buy as many more at the present low rate as you can afford If you hold them to maturity, you are bound to make the difference between what they sell at now and their face value. You will also receive good interest on your investment.
 Hold onto your Liberty Bonds anc buy more.

HOLDING SANDS.

Steel molding sand is a white or yellowish clean quartz sand high in silica. It has no bond and in order to make a mold with it a small quan- tity of fire clay, molasses water. or other material is added for binder. The size of the sand grain varies with the work to be done.
 Iron-mo1ding sand or foundry sand is siliceous sandy material used in foundries for making molds and cores for casting molten iron It is usually of some shade of brown, may be clayey, loamy, or sandy, inc or coarse grained, and has strong bond when moist. From 3,00O,OOO to B. 100000 tons is used annually.
 Brass-mo olding sand includes sand used for molding brass, bronze, and aluminium This is a very fine grained sand with strong bond which will take sharp detailed impressions and give a smooth surface to the cast ing.
 The amount of molding sand used is from 3,5o0,0o0 to nearly 5,ooo,ooo tons.-United States Geological Sur vey.

USE
 ACID JUICES
 AS DENTIFRICE

pr. William J. Gies, professor of biological chemistry, Columbia Uni versity, was the principal speaker at the annual convention of the Connec- ticut Dental Hygienists' association at the Stratfield, last evening.
 The use of the juice of grape fruit, lemon and other acid fruits as a den- tifrice was urged by Dr. Gies. Speak ing on the subject he said, Grape fruit juice or some other fruit acid will dissolve the mucous film which gathers on the teeth. It is on this mucous film that germs lodge, thrive and eventually destroy the enamel of the teeth. Although the belief has been common for many years that any kind of acid is bad for the teeth I have found in exhaustive expe1i- nents that a natural fruit acid is harmless. At the same time a nat ural fruit acid will remove the harm full mucous film" The professor also told of the favorable results of ex- periments in which acid juices were used in brushing the teeth.
 Dr. Albert H. Stevenson, director of the courses in oral hygiene at Co., lunbia University, addressed the meeting on the subject. Educating the Dental Hygienist for the Expan- sion of Her Field.''
 After the banquet. a motion pie ture showing local dental hygienists at work, was shown.
