The Weather Pronhet.

MT. Editor: We have certainly had very cold winter with an unusual quantity of ice and snow. This was predicted by many wise person some of whom live in the country and were in close touch with nature, observing the habits of the fur animals. Our local weather forecaster- Johnson LucasEguessed with others that we were to have cold winter TL ese predictions are so common sell dom anyone pays any attention to them, whether they prove true or not, except the one who happens to guess right constantly reminds you that he told you so." If. these very persons had guessed wrong, nobody would have cared enough about 1t to have given it another thousht. It is one of the easiest things to predict a hot or cold winter and no one thinks about such a prediction unless re- | nlnGed of 1t.
 But when one predicts correctly a 1 blizzard some weeks or even days ! ahead of it's arrival, then all have to 1 admit that that man is some sightseel 1 or foreca ster l assume that oul l townsHan, Horace Johnson Lucas l must have felt in his bones the com | ing of the present blizzard, whicl

LAMENTATIONS ACCEPTABLE.

Further evidence of the attitude Of the European countries relative to the reservations which have been proposed in this country to the league of nations before the treaty is ratified is furnished by the action of the council of the league in admit ting Switzerland to membership therein.
 Switzerland was among the neutral eligible for membership and for the most part it accepted the provisions of the covenant. There were instances however whefe it could not do so One for instance concerned action on the part of the country which could not be taken within the prescribed time because the referendum required of the country on such a matter made it impossible in the limited period to carry it out. And again Switzerland was desirous of maintaining her neu- tral attitude in the future just as it has in the past. It is unwilling to join with any others against some violator of the covenant. Having kept out of the wars of Europe for a long time it has no desire to change DpHtN anu lDl llidl ANfAoOA AN AAceN reservations to the famous article ten, and in this respect it's stand is even more radical than is proposed by this country for while it will not accept any obgilation to preserve the territorial integrity and political in dependence of other countries this country requires that anything it does in the use of force and economic pressure must be authorized by con gress and not by the league. Switzer- land will permit the force of no oth- CT country to cross its territory even though directed by the league.
 Still Switzerland is admitted to the league and without any great strug- gle or long pleading. Having admit ted that country under the restric- tions that it imposes there can be lit tie question but what the same will be done relative to tho United States though it also insists upon reserva- tions in ratifying the treaty.

THOSE GERMAN SHIPS.

Just what the solution is going to be of the effort to dispose of the Ger man vessels taken over by this coun- try during the war and which have been in the hands of the shipping board remains to be determined. Eff forts to obstruct the plan of the board for dispos;ng of them are com plicating the situation, but from what has hitherto been stated in regard to the arrangement for disposing of the vessels the interests of the country are going to be fully protected and the merchant marine of the country not depicted.
 It has been a question whether the board should continue. to operate the ships in competition Ksith the private capital. A nunbeT @af the vessels have been used for transport service and to return them to the passenger carrying business it will be necessary to go to a large expense refittine them, at a time when the demands are for the curtailment of shipbuild ing activities on the part of the gov ernment.
 Bids for the ships which were not acceptable have previously been sub mitted, as the result of which it was disclosed that one company stood ready to take over the entire fleet The price, however, was not satisfac- tory and. from the expression of the board it is not deemed wise to. dis pose of them all to ane bidder. A big hue and cry is being made over the claim that. the ships if sold wil go out of American ownership ano | thus be put beyond our reach in cast their use should again be required foi transports, while vessels flying the American flag would be decreased 1T number when efforts have been made ] to do just the opposite.
 Unless something is brought out fl the proceedings that have been in stituted, the board has guarded against these very things, by insist i ing that only Americans can purchas, the ships, that they must continue tt fly the. American flag and that the, must be subject to use by the gov. ernment should occasion arise. I cannot be Relieved that the board i, working against the interests of it; l country.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.

The time hasn't arrived as yet for putting daylight saving into effect, but it is grFually approaching. And as time ad/nces interest in the se- curing of the daylight benefits through state or community action is increasing. The fact that the fed eral law has not been continued has made it necessary to get daylight saving through other channels. It is a case where a section of the coun- try. a group of states or even a sin gle state can by making the neces- sary changes in clocks get the extra hour of daylight. There is of course nothing to bar anyone from getting up an hour earlier without changing the clock, but where everything is governed by an accepted arrange ment there is less inconvenience and confusion.
 Just at the present time many of the people through the middle west are being sounded on their wishes. Tn that way the sentiment of states viii be secured, even as has been the case through the east where many of the large cities, as well as smaller ones have approved the change, where one railroad has already an- nouneed that it's schedule will be changed in keeping with the daylight saving plan and where legislatures in several states are expected to act up- on the question soon.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that the chamber of com merce of Massachusetts has been conducting a referendum on the sub ject with the result that sentiment is more than five to one in favor of daylight saving in that state. Where labor was sounded in some of the factories it was found in favor of the change by from two to one up to al- most 40 to one, while a former mas ter of grange also comes out ip support of the idea and backs his stand by 20 years on the farm. What ever the outcome it is certain that the results of daylight saving have made such good impressions that a widespread sentiment exists for it's continuance.

OUR DYE INDUSTRY

The finance committee of the sen.
 ate has reached the conclusion that
 new legislation is needed in order to properly protect those who have en- tered the business of making dye
 stuffs and those who may in the fu- ture decide to enter that line. There Is need of course of protecting both the industry and the consumer and such is the intent of the bill. The plan is to do it by establishing an embargo upon the admission of dyes to this country under the control of the tariff commission, whereby this comJnssion can, if the situation de- velops and it is deemed advisable, ad- nit dyes that cannot be obtained in this country and are wanted by, a customer, but under an import duty.
 Lcng has it heen apparent that if some such action as that proposed is not taken that German dyemakers will be scooping the market by be- ing able to make and deliver the goods here cheaper than the new in- dustries in this country can produce the dyes. Having been in the con- trol of Germany once it is time that encouragement should be given to those who made US independent of that country to keep us so. Ef- forts have been made to handle the dyemaking business through a licens- ing system but it presents too many

uNsANITARY SCHOOLS.

Attention cannot fail to be given to the work that is being undertaken in behalf of better sanitary condition in the schools throughout the state by the state health council. Schools are necessary. It is impossible to get along without them but it is quite necessary that it should be seen that they are sanitary and not, by the conditions which surround them, det- rimental to the health of the pupils attending.
 With due regard for these facts the state board of education has under taken through the aid of the health department to find out just what the condition is among the schools, what is needed to overcome existing faults and how it should be done. It is a commendable move and from the first report made as the result of a survey in five counties it is found that 40 per cent. of the 423 schools visited are in an unsanitary condition.
 Just what has been the effect of the condition is not indicated in the news report, but the shortcomings are apparent from such disclosures as have been made, and it is plain enough just what the attention is that they require. In all eases it is to be presumed that old buildings are involved but the fact. that the schools are for the most part in the rural dis tricts explains to certain degree what must be some of the prevailing shortcomings When it is declared that in most of them they receive nc attention other than that given then by the teacher and pupils it is quite evident that there is need for the various districts to give more con sideration to the schools. Certainly they should be interested enough ir the welfare of the children to see that they had proper and healthy school rooms without any other stepe being necessary than to call their at tention to the deficiencies and advis- ing them what should be done Wher there is a persistence in maintaining unsanitary schools other steps car and should be taken to bring abou the needed Improvement.

 Some. years ago what the weather for the inauguration of a president was to be was of great public interest. Horace Johnson predicted for that day a mighty storm. and the government predictions were beautiful spring day. Thousands, depending upon the governments forecast, came long dis tances thinly clad to the inauguration. Horace Johnson's prediction proved true, and the result was hundreds took pneumonia on account of their exposure and many suffered death. That prediction almost alone made Horace Johnson ever afterward highly respected as a weather foreca ster. Now, Lucas if you have the goods, follow the example of your illustrious predecessor.

CONCERNING PRICES

 And when Kitty Blaine asked me. to ride in her new car last week she said that she didn't like it particular ly; she said the model she wanted had gone up in price and she had to be satisfied with this one-which was the beginning of a long train of mourning over prices. She didn't stop l long enough to enjoy the scenery or anything!

 'Yes. that's my flexible fier," re- piled John.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SpirituaIism.

Mir. Editor: The appended letter was sent to me by a member of my church who lost her husband about two years ago, snt: through the comfort and help that Spirftualism has given her she has taker up the burden of life and is carrying i+ with courage and cheerful ress. It was not my intention to wr.te anything in defense of Spiritual7 isnr. I realize how useless that would be since F. J. W. of Willimantic has kiIied it so thoroughly-or thinks he has. Strange to say, however, there are ? few million people in America who will still assert that they think +nCre is something in it'' and a million ana half devoted adherents who de- clare that Spiritualism is true and communication with the se- called dead Is an established fact. Strange, is it not, if it is such delusion. that men like F1ammarion. Mare6ni Conan Doyle, William Crookes, Oliver Lodge and a host of others after years of p>instaking investigation and research have espoused it? Brother F. J. W. quotes from the Bible but is conspicu- ously silent about St. Paul's admoni- ton. "Now. brethren, concerning spir- itual gifts I would not have you ignor- ant" and Paul mentions some of the gifts as follows: The gift of prophecy, the gift of healing. speaking in uu- known tongues, discerning of spirits. Nor does F. J. W. mention how two angels in the form of men" appeared to Abraham; nor how d spirit visited
 Pcfcr in prison and released him; nor how Moses and Elias were seen on the Mount of Trans6guration by Peter and James and John long after Moses and. Elias were dead. However, I could quote similar passages from both the Old and New Testaments. but will ask the readers of this letter to read the Bible My brother Howe, for whom I have a great esteem and re- spect. has told us that Spiritualism is not a religion That is his opinion. and he has a right to express it.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS MAY BE OVERCOME

If you have catarrhal deafness or head and ear noises. Or are growing hard of hearing. go to your druggist and get one ounce of Parmint (double strength). and add to it A pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar. Take one tablespoonful four times a day.
 This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breath ing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take. Anyone who has catarrhal deaf ness or head noises should give this prescription a trial.

 Having gone to large expenditure to get dyemaking plants established and having found that they can meet the requirements of the trade in quality as well as quantity the move is being made none too soon to put the industry on basis of perma- nency by keeping out the cheaper made foreign product.
