Nothing Done
REnUCING GOVERNMENT
EXPENSES

Rosie, Idaho is reducing salaries
about 10 per cent and the state of
New York has discharged 240O state
amnloyes and officials. Blackfo0t
reduced salaries of some of its NUM-
cipal force when the new council
went into office, and now they are
trimming expenses severely to re-
duce the years budget. The federal
government proposes to make a little
bargain sale OF about five billion dol
lars worth of materials as measured
by war prices and get the goods out
among the people and take the loss
on them.
Blackfoot merchants are training
themselves to sell some goods at
prices SO low that it gets them used
to talking and thinking in the low
est of the low prices. Next thing we
know there may be an upward trend
like the price of wheat, making the
final adjustments.

Astronomer Finds
Cause for Extreme
Heat This Summer

VALLEJO, Cal.-The extraordin-
arily warm weather Of the present
summer is caused by an unusual
downpour of meteors on the sun,
increasing its radiation and effective
surface temperature, in the belief
of Professor T. ]. j. See, government
astronomer at the Mare Island navy
yard. Professor See voiced his be-
lief in a statement issued recently.
He said it was based on extensive re-
search work.
Citing the fact that unusually
warm summers occur every ten or
eleven years, he said that "now, for
the first time, by profound re-
searches, astronomers are able to
throw some light" upon this great
mystery.
"Since a mass Of meteoric matter
greater than our moon is falling into
the sun every century" he said, sit
is very improbable that the down.
pour proceeds at a uniform rate. II
it comes down in gusts under the
actions of the chief planets, Jupiter
and Saturn, which are now near con-
junction and are seen together in
our evening sky, then we should have
sudden increase of the suns radia-
ton, Just such as we now witness all
over the world.
"This is a sufficient explanation of
the unprecedentedly hot summer and
so simply and directly connected
with the established secular accelera-
ton and increase of the suns mass
by meteoric downpour that public
attention should be. called to the
nature of the cause at work. 1t has
been at work also In all past ages,
but now, for the first time, by pro-
found researches, astronomers are
able to throw some light upon great
mystery" Salt Lake Tribune.

sometimes 60 so far as to admit that
truth-it all depends
upon what q person thinks, as to
whether the dance, or the dress, Is
evil and immoral. In other words 1t
all depends upon the individual and
his or her thoughts, or matter
whether they are rollicking around
in bathing suits or squirming in a
dance or kneeling at worship. The
particular act which they are doing
is not to be condemned nor approved
unless the mind and heart are in &C
cord with 1t.
The police matron at Muskegan,
Mich, has decided to arrest any
women or girls who leave the bath
ing beach and run over town to do
shopping in their bathing suits. 1t
probably started by them running to
the wennie stand to get lunch ma
terials to eat while playing on the
beach, and II the vicente man were
on the beach playing with the women
and girls, clad in his bathing suit 1t
would be all right, but If he is fully
dressed and at work, the sight of the
beautiful arms and legs accompany
ing a bathing suit at once become i'm
moral. That all depends on what
the man thinks in his head and his
heart, and the police matron Is tread
ing on ground that is debatable, tho
of course most people will stand by
the custom and say the Japanese
were wrong in their bathing habits.
But what about the terrible Turks?

TO TAKE FREIGHT
OFF THE DINNER TABLE

From ut Is the war" to 1T is the
freight" That has been the recent
change in the stereotyped blanket
answer to the protest Of the harassed
consumer, as food prices stay up.
And the railroads are cutting
wages and putting up very good
imitation of going to the boW-WoWs.
Wonder If there isn't some good
common sense buried in the follow
ing, from a hard-headed manufact-
urer, who knows what he's talking
about?
When he wrote it, he probably had
in mind also the tremendous quantity
of wood pulp that is annually
diverted from newsprint to fibre
boards and he probably feels, just as
the editor of this newspaper does,
that if the press of the nation is to
be preserved it cannot go on much
longer paying the premium for its
white paper that such diversion
creates.
The writer is Lacy Y. Williams. He
wrote as follows in recent number
of the Railway Age-Gazette:
"My deductions from my exper-
fence as manufacturer Of packages,
and shipper of various types OF
packages, is that the barrel is the
strongest, most portable, most sani-
tary container; that it has the great
est range of use, and that 1t is the
cheapest of all packages, without
exception, when weight and contents
are considered.
"Take the transportation question
alone. One man will unload car
load Of 200 barrels of sugar, weigh
ing an average Of $50 pounds each,
in less than an hour, and not injure
barrel in the slightest way.
ION the other hand, no rectangu-
lar container has ever been produced
that could be handled at all with this
weight by one, or even two men. A
barrel can be rolled any distance. 1t
carries it's running wear with It.
"The contents of barrel are pro-
tected from damage from leaky car
roofs and from rain during loading
and unloading, or when on platforms
which would be fatal to the contents
Of a fiber container.
shipping the barrels home empty
is not necessary, for the reason that
they can be used for any kind Of pro-
duct when empty, and always find
an eager market, returning full.
"The classification on goods ship
ped in barrels should be lower than
on goods shipped in rectangular con-
tainers for four reasons.
"First-There are fewer damage
claims.
"Second-A freight crew will
handle ten times the tonnage in bar
rels that it will in rectangular con-
tainers.
"Third-Cars can be unloaded in
one-tenth the time and under
weather conditions that, with other
containers, might prevent the re-
lease of the car.
"Fourth-The barrel is more SAM
tary"

THOSE SHORTENED SLEEVES

People Of various classes are say
ing great deal about the way
women dress these days, and as US

bow-wows. That class Of people are
saying, as they always have, that
any thing that is different from what
they were raised to do and to see and
to practice, has the effect of leading
people to perdition.
Isn't it strange that the beautiful
races Of the southern seas remained
such perfect and such beautiful
speciments of physique and such
sweet dispositions during all the
centuries when they merely wore a
breechclOut! And isn't it passing
strange that the Turks, considered
the most immoral people on the face
of the earth, dress SO carefully to
conceal their bodies from view and
the women even conceal their faces
from the public all their lives! Isn't
is passing strange that the Japanese
in their native lands acting on their
native customs went in gathing in
great throngs without troubling
themselves about bathing suits and
yet were simple, moral people. And
just across the straits in Korea the
native custom was to never allow
boys and girls to see each other and
mingle together while they were
growing up into manhood and
womanhood, but to keep them
severely out of sight of each other
until marriage, and that matter was
arranged for them. The Eskimos
practice trial marriage and each has
the privilege Of Withdrawing from
the contract at the end of the first
year, yet there are very few that do
So and when they do, generally re-
main single the rest of their lives.
When they enter trial marriage,
each one realizes that he, or she, may
be discarded at the end of the year
and both Of them try hard to make
the union successful and agreeable
to the other, to avoid the humilia-
ton and disgrace of being cast off.

Dancing is being done on more ex-

moralists are still telling the young
folks that it furnishes the broad road
that leads to death, just the same old

years ago about doing those modest

minuet, the polka, schottish and the
Virginia reel.
