In these days. when Jack Frost Is
busy drawing pictures A the windows
many beautiful works appear over
night, but when he completely covers
the glass, he is not so welcome. The
Russians have a very effective way Of
preventing the obscuring of the win
dOws by frost. In Russia the walls of
the buildings are very thick. and,
double windows are fitted TO the
houses, set about Is inches apart. The
window sill between the outer and in
ner windows is decorated with bright
green moss, and hidden there is dish
filed with calcium chloride. which alb
serbs all the moisture and thus effec-
tIally prevents the formation Of ice
during the long, cold winter.

ARE RETURNING TO FARMS
Not Many of Uncle Sans Fighters
Have Succumbed to the Lure
of the City.

OF Americas mighty war forces or
more than 100000 men, 100000, it
is estimated, came from farms. Rec
ords in the bureau of war-risk insur-
ance In Washington indicate that these
rarm-bred or farm-raised boys carried
government life insurance amounting
to over $10000,000000.
During the earlier rehabilitation ii
was so difficult to keep track of the
discharged service men that 1t seemed
as though a very large proportion of
them did not return to their former
addresses or homes. So many Of the
service men who had come from the
farms seemed to be listening to the
cali of the city that it was feared more
than one-haIf of them were not going
back to tie farms. Later the tide of
migration set in toward the country,
and row II is believed that the loss in
man power to the farms, as the result
of former service men settling else
where, may not be more than 100000.

Committee. Each of these-one
an important member of the
Presidents Cabinet and the 9TH

led the mems needs and offered
the fruits OF their Investigations
in the form of bills. The meas
ures they proposed would have
financed the purchase OF homes
for soldiers and sailors either in
the country or in the city as the
men preferred.
Thee bills lay for months in
pigeonholes during the special
session OF Congress. The Repub-
lican pretext for their inertia was
that they wished to hear from the
American Legion. That word
has come and it is an approval
Iof Democratic proposals which.
out OF pure partisanship. were
denied an opportunity to pass.
Even if the bills are enacted in
the regular session. six or eight

THE SENATE MAJORITY's Duty

Republican leaders and organs
have been vociferous for months
on the thesis that as their party
controlled the United States
Senate its representatives in that
branch Of Congress had right
to determine. what sort OF quail
fcations should be made to this
country's acceptance OF the
treaty with Germany. If these
authorities were correct in this
contention. they are wrong now
in Attending TO shift or disclaim
responsibility for some action
looking to a disposition of the
treaty and return TO peace
With the right for which the
Republican majority contended
there went also duties and obi
cations. They are bound by their
own logic as well as by their pre-
ponderance in the Senate to I'M
dertake ratification. They can
not excuse their own inaction by
pretending that others decline to
co operate. A majority which
packed" the Foreign Relations
Committee, which distributed all
the patronage in the Senatorial
organization. which has passed
partisan measures in the face of
opposition. can hardly expect the
people to believe it is now unable
to adopt some program of ratifi-
cation.
1t is true that a faction of this
majority dictated the course of
hostility to which it attempted to
commit all Republican Senators.
1t is conceded that Mr.. Lodges
personal spites and piques rather
than the best interests OF the
country or of the Republican
party inspired and shaped the
Senate majority'S course with
reference to the treaty OF peace
and the League of Nations But
this only emphasizes the present
duty OF that majority TO acknow-
ledge past mistakes, reject I'M
worthy leadership and to substi-
tutc patriotic motives for parts
an maneuvering in an effort to
end the war and put this coun-
try on parity With the other
late enemies of Germany in the
enjoyment OF peace.
The Senate is responsible for
the ratification of the treaty. The
Republican majority, with its
dominance OF all the machinery
OF the Senate. is primarily and
especially accountable for any
failure TO bring the nation from
state OF war to a state OF peace.
