After the Horse is Stolen

The National Committee on Natural Gas Con-
servaton has issued for the guidance Of the state
utility commissions a series of suggestions that
would alleviate the scarcity Of natural gas in
those states where the fuel is still obtainable
The warning has to be accepted by Hoosiers
in the same spirit with which an owner accepts
the advice of providing his stable door with a
lock and key after his horse has been stolen.
Natural gas in Indiana for all practical purposes
is thing Of the past The supply that reaches
eastern Indiana is pped from West Virginia
fields Only few months will eapse before
this also will cease.
Conservation of natural gas should have be-
gun twenty years ago. Indiana once had copious
wells, but shameful waste Of the product soon
exhausted natures bounty. Escaping gas was
lighted and permitted to burn day and night. Gil
gantic torches of burning gas Illuminated the
country in hundreds of places. A compacent
population, satisfied with present good and un-
mindful of the future, did nothing to prevent
the waste. Today paying for it in high
prices for fuel.
America has been profligate waster of the
bowed this country. What were regarded as I'M
limited supplies have dwindled away under a
ruinous policy until today we are hard pressed
to supply normal demand for them. Not many
years will pass before we will be forced to de-
pend on the undeveloped countries of the world
for the raw materials needed by our factories
Conservation Of resources should be taught to-
day with increased vigor everywhere. Only by
an economical use of our resources will we be
able to stave off the inevitable day of reckoning

The Democratic Ruction

Political observers who believed the Demo-
cratic convention would be lovefeast now pre-
dict that William F. McCombs, former chairman
of the Democratic national committee created
furore when he charged that President Wilson's
assumption of authority had been autocratic.
Homer S. Cummings tried to vtiate the effect of
the utterance by describing it as lone of those
sporadic criticisms that are negligible factor
in our affairs
But Mr.. Cummings cannot efface the effect
of the McCombs statement by lightly dismissing
it as unworthy of serious consideration. Nc
Combs, one of the commanding figures of the
party, manager of President Wilson's 1912 cam
paign, and a stalwart in the Democratic organ
ization, is not to be brushed aside with wave
of the hand. He will make his influence felt at
San Francisco, and leaders who believed that
President Wilson's record would escape criticism
will find that McCombs is adroit enough to cause
the party considerable annoyance before the con-
vention is over
The structure which McCombs passed is
identcally the charge which the Republicans
have preferred against Mr.. Wilson and his ad-
mnistration. He has substantiated from within
the Democratic party itself the accusation which
the presidents opponents have hurled at him on
the floor of congress.
If the McCornbs statement attains maj pro-

Hair Kept Beautifully
Wavy, Indoors or Out!

If you will apply little liquid sill
nlerine before doing up your hair it
will have a prettier wave and curl
than probably it has ever had The
waviness will look perfectly natural,
and the hair will be sleek and glossy
like plush. 1t will remain in curl the
longest time, regardless of heat, wind
or moisture, and you wont have to be
continually fussing with loose strands
or flying ends.
Liquid silmerine is, of course, en-.
tirely harmless. 1t leaves no sticky,
greasy or streaky trace. 1t is also an
excellent dressing for the hair, keep
ing it delightfully."- soft and silky. y
few ounces from your druggist will
last for weeks. 1t is best applied with
clean tooth brush, drawing this
down the full length of tbs hair.
