IRREGULAR, BUT STRAIGHT.

kAnd straight? Mechanically the
thing is impossible. The terms are
contradictory. But as the terms are
used in relation to human acts, the
tcombination is not only possible but
very common. In other words, acts
are often quite honest, though con-
ktrary to prescribed rule.
We need to bear this fact in mind
IN order no to be carried into a
fmorass Of suspicion and condemna-
Ition in relation to the handling of
hDur public affairs.
1t appears from authoritative
statements made by public officials
IN washington that in one way and
tanother more than a billion dollars
fcf public money has been paid out
ION account Of war activities without
the presentation Of proper vouchers.
This enormous sum has been paid
out without documentary evidence of
the exact purposes for which it was
paid, and without conclusive evidence
as to whether or not value was given
for the. money.
All Of this is highly irregular. Not
al of it was dishonest. How much
dishonesty there has been, remains
to be shown. That there was some
b beyond question. That dishonesty
twas general there is not the slight
ts reason to believe.
Some months ago it appeared that
F1nany contracts which had been made
Tor war materials, and for which
claims aggregating large BUNS were
presented, had been made 4rreguIarly.
The Official who had closed the con-
tract on behalf Of the government
.yas not authorized to do so. The
contract had not passed through all
the channels prescribed by law. The
form Of contract was defective. Many
things were wrong. What should be
done?
There were a few persons very
1eV--who insisted that every claim
should 6be subjected to the test OF
literal and exact legality. and II not
found flawlesw it should not be paid.
The general sentiment OF the coun-
Try, az Expressed in the press and
4 congress, was that equity rather
than technical regularity should
govern, and that every agreement en-
tered into in good faith and honor
ably carried out should be consider
sacred by the government. No
the course would be c~ountenanced

KILLS OLIVE POISON
Experts Find Serum to Combat

Champaign, Ill.-The bacillus botulf-

death of five persons in Detroit several
months ago has been isolated by Or.
ROBERT Graham OF the department of
animal pathology at the University of
Illinois.
"A different type of bacillus botuli-
nus was associated with the olives in
Detroit which caused the food poison
Ing there. Similar experience has
been reported by psychologists at
Stanford university in California, as
we'll as by Belgian SCIENTISTS" said DR..
Graham. 1T constitutes. however, the
first time this particular variety of
bacillus botulinus has been announced
In the Mississippi valley.
"A serum protective against the
type of poisoning in the olives as we'll
as other types is being prepared at the
university of animal pathology. The
university's interest is primarily from
an animal standpoint, yet the fact that
IN recent years the disease has been
more common in man incidentally as
sociates the experiments conducted
with the disease in humans"
This one type of bacillus has been
found particularly fatal to chickens.
the department of animal pathology
has found in conducting experiments
with poultry.

BINDER Irvine NEEDS

- Washington.-The United States has

ply during the past several years has
caused serious anxiety lest there
should not be enough binder Irvine to

been cultivated successfully for several
years in Cuba and the plantations are

Porto Rico have resulted in the estab-

Stocks of ore at mines at the begin
ming of 1920, mainly in Michigan and
Minnesota, were 12,9S9,OOO, an appar-
ent increase Of about So per cent.
The Lake Superior district mines
shipped about SO per cent of the coun-
