Object, Thus Saving Occupants
Of Car From Injury.

A material known as "superglass"
used in making automobile wind
shields, is made by welding a layer

For Most Soils Light Grader and Ono.
Horse Drag VIII Prove Most
Beneficial.

For most of our road soils, the use
of light grader once or twice year
and the systematic use of a light, one
horse drag to smooth and compact the
road after every rain, will do more
toward promoting good earth roads
than any other method.

CHANGE IN BREED OF FOWL S
Breeder Ought to Remember That New
Variety May Have to Be Fed
In Different Way.

If a breeder who has always kept
one kind of hens suddenly changes to
another breed, he ought to remember
that the new variety may have to be
fed and cared for in quite a different
way. That will call for study as to
the best kinds of food best methods
of housing and many other things.

OUR KINDLING WOOD SHIPS

From the Providence Journal
 1T WAVING received no bids for twenty ITI five of the wooden ships built dur
 the war, the shipping board is said to be free to make the best disposition possible of these craft expressly built for the purpose of carrying supplies to the nations fighting Germany. The probabil- ity is that they will ultimately be con- demned. The criticism passed on the pro- gramme for wooden vessels has been jus tiffed. The best possible disposition of them would appear to be to Sell them for kindling wood.
 While the German submarines were sinking the ships of the allies it was said by competent naval men that the slow going wooden cargo-carriers designed by the theorists of the Wilson administration had little chance of escaping destruction for the reason that they were lacking in speed. Obviously ships of less than 1000 tons having no space for powerful ma- chinery would be unable to dodge U- boats. The theory of their designers was

WHEN BATHING WAS ILLEGAL

From the Omaha Bee
 1T IKE other great reforms physical
 and intellectual, the bathtub had to fight it's way onward and up- ward in spite of the dirty habits Of mankind. Baths flourished in the ancient Roman civilization, but cleanliness lost out in the dark ages. There has ever been a natural aversion to soap and water in combination in the human faml- ly, stronger the further north peoples have lived.
 The first bathtub in the United States, an exchange says, was built in Gin cinnati and installed in home there in 1S42. It was made of mahogany, lined with sheet lead and was proudly exhibit ca by it's owner at a Christmas party. Next day it was denounced in the Cinein- natl papers as luxurious, undemocratic vanity Then came the medical men and declared it menace to health. In 1S4s Philadelphia tried to prohibit bath ing between November 1 and March b by ordinance. Virginia taxed bathtubs s3O a year In 1S45 Boston made bathing unlawful except when prescribed by

 What does this evidence amount to?

 These things seem incredible in an age when transient hotel accommodations include a bathroom, but sanitation is recent development.

"A lot of folks have changed front with respect to democratic chances of success in the national election since the nomination of Cox and Roosevelt" says Zac P. Smith. Tt was quite com mon among democrats, as well as re- publicans. to concede that the repub- licans would achieve a certain victory this fall Republicans are now not so cock-sure and democrats have picked up spunk.
 One of my republican friends told me frankly that if the republicans made the slightest movement looking toward emascu1ation or abandonment of the federal reserve system. he pro- posed to vote the democratic ticket Another said he did not at all approve the democratic nominees, because they made entirely too strong ticket for republican digestion.

 People who work the ouija board unknowingly hoodwink themselves. The board has no bearing on the ex- pertinent. but the results accomplished pay be attributed to the subconscious mind, or the action of the participants minds collectively.
 An interesting experiment to prove that hands propel the ouija and that the ouija does not guide the hands, is to put three ball bearing rollers on each leg of the post of the ouija. Then. if the slightest impulse be given the board. 1t will simply slide and roll off, producing complete failure.-

 The Wilson administration has commended itself to the honest busi- ness interests of the country and to the people at large.
 It used to be said that the repub- lican party was the business mems party. That surely is not true in any special sense today in compari- son with the democratic party. No citizen is going to vote the republican ticket because he or she is afraid of democratic policies. The democratic appeal, on the other hand, is strong CT and more widespread now than it has been in many years.
 Democratic confidence and enthu- siasm are all pervading. It is not so in the republican ranks. The pro- jected "slush fund" to be raised by the interests" will make a great chatter. But the intelligent voter will not be deceived by it.

Democratic Platform
 a Promissory Note

A s the presidential campaign 1A plans develop the democratic outlook is full of promise, and not only so, but as Governor Cox sees it, victory is absolutely assured.
 In addressing the national commit tee at Columbus yesterday the nomi- nee stressed certain features of the coming canvass. He charged the re- publicans with raising a campaign fund sufficient to shock the sensi- bilities of the nation"
 Such campaign will be in keep ing with those of past years. A huge slush fund is Senator Harding's only hope.
 The democrats will count on the loyalty of the members of the party. Money will be needed for legitimate expenses, of course, but this will be raised in small amounts by voluntary contributions. Every dollar will be accounted for. It will be a clean campaign from start to finish.
 A striking phrase enunciated by Governor Cox was the fact that the democratic platform was a promis- sorry note and he would see that it was paid in full. It used to be that party platforms were made to be bro ken or to be lightly considered. The democrats have made a platform this
