when the state department announced that it had abolished the requirement that citizens of this country must obtain passports before going abroad it terTni- mated a check which had been held upon the people of this country because of war conditions.
 Previous to the war it was not neces- sary to c'4c.r such authority to leave the c0in4ry. although passports were necessary to travel in other countries and distinction should be made between the two requirements. By the lifting of the order demanding a passport to leave the United States 1t does not mean that other countries have made 1t unnecessary to have a passport to enter their doors. It is still just as important that those who are intending to visit Europe should , provide themselves with passport that will be respected by other countries ai- | though it will not be required to set sail from here. This government Is getting back to the pre-war conditions but it will be found that those travelling abroad will be confronted with ali sorts of re- quirements and expense among which the credentials from the state department will be invaluable.
 There was time when a head tax
 was collected by France from everyone entering that country. but that has beer
 abolished and in Belgium 1t is possible 1 for citizens of it's neighbors, the Unitet
 States and Japan to travel without SC
 curing the customary wise by consular
 officials. In place of the head tax Franc, gets a higher consular fee.
 Conditions are far from ideal for tn, tourists in the devastated war countries There are limited accommodations ani
 there Is in some instances a hotel ta: which applies not solely to tourists bu
 to all hotel patrons. Where the war ha
 not had such serious effect more en
 couragement is to be noted for the travel CTS. In spite of the handicaDs and tn expense there can be no doubt but wha the season will find a great number c ; Americans sailing for tours in the Euro pean countries. Having the price and tn , steamship reservation getting away frol . this country ought to be easy. but to ot
 tain admittance to other countries n citizen of this country should fail to tax along the necessary credentials ohtaine through the department of state.

Why the Wind Blsws.

ITO the layman, the worlds rotation plays queer pranks with the atmos- phere," says bulletin issued from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society, but scien- lists find the various swirls following fairly definite laws. The worlds winds and their complexity are due in general to two forces: the rapid rotation of the earth which is irnparted to the air sur rounding 1t, and notifications of this motion due to differences in temperature on the earth's surface.
 'If the temperature differences did not play a part in the matter, it is probable that there would be only west winds in the temperature and polar zones, and no winds at all in the tropics. The situa- ton would be somewhat like that brought about in a glass Of liquid at a soda fountain into which a rotary stirrer is introduced. The liquid swirls faster and faster until finally it attains practically the speed of the rotating rod. So, but for temperature differences, the earth | would have the great sea of air which | surrounds it swirling with it practically at the speed with which the earth moves at the equator-approximat a thous- and miles an hour. But since both the earth and the air at the equator would be moving at the same speed, there would be no wind there.
 "As one went from the equator he would find a wind blowing harder and harder as he approached the poles. This wind would be from west to east, the direction in which the earth is turning and would result from the fact that the air was turning through space actually l faster than the earth. For while tho surface of the earth at the equator i' moving at about a thousand miles ar hour, being on the rim of the wheel; SC to speak. the surface in the temperate zones. being nearer to the hub is nov ing at a slower speed. But the air above the equator, swirling~at a thousand mile! an hour would communicate its speed tt 4 the air on each side of it and would tent to throw the entire atmosphere to spin
 ming at the rapid equatorial rate. As ; result 1t would outrun the earth betweel
 the equator and the poles and create ;
 mighty west wind.
 "As A matter of fact much of this as sumption Is true. The earth does i'm

MAKE A THOROUGH SOB.

During the statement which he made while on the stand Planter Williams of Georgia who was charged with peonage, asserted that if he had paid the fines of certain prisoners and taken them from the chain gang to work on his farm un- der conditions which vera not much dif- ferent than actual slavery, he had done no different than most other farmers That statement vas apparently made for the purpose of setting forth what was the accepted practice in that locality and that even though he had, violated the law, by doing no different than others had done he ought not to be held any more responsible than they were.
 Whether or net it came as surprise to the rest of the country that, even under the conditions that were revealed in his case, conviction was secured in Georgia it is clearly evident that the Williams case cannot be permitted to end the efforts that are made Sby the federal authorities to wipe out the peon- age conditions which prevail in~Georgia and all other states where they are al legged to exist.
 And to every inquiry, and investigation | the fullest assistance and support should be given by the state authorities. The better element of the people, which in variably bobs up to disclaim any appro val of iynching or peonage, now has ar opportunity to exercise its influence ant to bring an end to conditions which hav' long served as eztrem9ly bad advertisinl for a number Of the southern states. l
 it has never been able to get the assist
 ance of the federal authorities or if i
 has never been able to bring about laV enforcement in a manner that msk it approval it should be fully aware of tn
 importance of the present opportunity t put forth its efforts in keeping with it
 ideas and make one grand and genera cleanup.
 Georgia has long borne poor rePuta tion because of the disgraceful practic
 of lynching which seemed to get nor
 encouragement than restraint. Added t that now is the peenage situation an
 while rights of humanity are being re stored and respected in one direction
 is an excellent time to make a conaplet . job of it.

THE NEW CONGRESS.

With the 67th congress in session It faces a grist of business that promises to keep il busy for many months, and of course the country expects that it will not only consider and debate the matters but that it will show results and when adjournment is taken it will be possible to point to the list of accomplishments with satisfaction.
 With the republican party in full con- trol the executive and both branches of congress can be expected to display such harmony as to overcome the friction and opposition that has unfortunately blocked much congressional action in the recent past. Having seen the effects of the past administration and it's attitude toward the senate the people of the country clearly showed last November that difter- ent conditions should prevail. and cer- tainly if full party control will accom- plish it there should be no question as to the results.
 In connection with the work to be done by congress much interest is bound to be manifested in the message which President Harding will deliver to con- gress today, wher>ss- he will set forth
 
 portant matters before the country today both of an international and domestic nature. More than the usual attention can be expected to be given 1t in view of the change in the administration and the consequent change in the views that will be expressed 10 congress concerning the different problems, some of which nave been of long standing.
 The country as we'll as congress fl eagerly awaiting what the president vii have to say regarding the move fol peace with Germany, the question of al International understanding regardinl disarmament an organization to proven war in the future and certain of our do mestic problems which are uppermost fl the minds of the people in view of tn readjustments that are being made.
 In looking ahead at it's task congres will of course weigh carefully such ad vice as the president has to give and af ter it has been heard and digested shout settle down to as early and sensible en actment of the necessary legislation a safety and good results will permit. Tn new congress has great responsibilities 0 Its shoulders and the country looks to 10 discharge them well.

in general, but because of counter in- fuences and side currents due to tenn perature differences, the assumed calm Is not found in the tropics Instead the earth outruns the air somewhat there, and the air, dragging as the earth spins under it, makes winds blowing from the east-the famous trade winds. But even though the atmosphere is moving east ward more slowly than the earth at the equator, 1t is moving faster than the earth in the temperate zones, and there the prevailing winds are from the west "Temperaturs differences. of course change the general directions of these | planetary winds, especially at the sur face of the earth. But in the United
 States at an elevation of six or seven
 miles a nearly constant wind may be l found blowing from the west at from So | to 75 miles an hour.
 There seems to have been much over
 optimism in regard to speeds that can | be attained by aircraft with the help or | these planetary winds. It has been stated
 in some instances that in upper currents
 moving at three hundred miles an hour,
 aeroplanes with powerful motors could
 reach speeds of four or five hundred miles an hour. The difficulty is that no
 winds have been found in the upper air by the United States Weather Bureau . AAae-~%s exceed 100 miles an hour; and the nor
 mal speed of thF west winds at high al- tftudes over. the United States is between
 50 and 75 miles an hour. If such tre-
 mendous speed as that suggested Is to
 be attained by aeroplanes, therefore. the
 motors will have to be responsible for the greater part of it.
 'The winds Of highest velocity have been found about six or seven miles . | hn fba 0f fha hfph- est clouds. Both above and below this
 level the speeds fall off.
 "The rates of motion have been check ed very carefully by observing the drift . of special rubber balloons. The observa' tions are made through telescopic in struments from the ground. Similarly , the drift of clouds has been observed i and measured. Thousands of such ob servations have been made, ranging iron v slight distances above sea level. to tn v upper reaches of the clouds, and in tn i cases of balloons. far beyond the clou . zone One balloon sent up by the wea :. ther bureau reached height of nearl r twenty miles.
 r "The winds of, the upper attitudes. I = addition to keeping the atmosphere stir
 red up, affect weather in another way ur
 der exceptional conditions. When vol
 canoes throw dust and ashes into the uT
 per air-sometimes fifteen or twent
 miles up-the planetary winds quick
 spread the particles. forming an envelor n entirely enclosing the globe. This sheat screens off many of the short heat wave le coming from the sun but does not intei le fere materially with the passage ou l- ward of the longer heat waves radiate e by the earth. The earth therefore losl is heat in two ways. and as A result q al average Temperature all over the wor le Is lowered for some time after the mo r. violent valconic eruptions."

T believe in coming directly to the point always said the young man who had taken course in efficiency and success through correspondence school. And I want to say this-I feel, Mildred, that your father doesn't like me! In fact. that he is violently opposed to mel"

 ''ae always is extremely polite,p said the young man, knitting his bDews, but I am very acute when it comes to instantly whether or not a person is inclined toward me or doesn't care for me. I am naturally able to do this and then as I say l have developed the faculty along with other mental training. Active dislike disturbs the atmosphere in some way and reacts instantly upon me. And while he has said nothing, I am positive he is-er- far from interested in mel"

PROTECTING COMPANY AND PUBLIC


 While jitneys in Ethis state are being subjected to regulation in a manner which will greatly reduce if not entirely eliminate the unfair competition with the trolley roads, and the roads themselves are being given the benefit of certain re- lief measures and seeking the right to operate automobiles where it has been found that it can be done more economi- -ally than the running of electric cars md yet furnish the service desired, it is interesting to note that the public utili- lies commission of Massachusetts has au- thorized the use of "busses' by the ele- vated road in Boston for the transporta- ton of passengers and freight. What has been done for that company will unques- tionably be done for others. The com mission has been impressed by the sit- nation and the position in which the ex- lsting transportation concern is placed by conditions. It comes to its relief instead of holding 1t strictly to the operation of electric cars and thereby prevents its business being taken away by others whose object differs only in the means of locomotion. There is the one restric- tion, however. that before such auxiliary service can be started the sanction of the city council must be obtained.
 In the granting of this right to ex, isting trolley companies it is to be real ized that the commission has been actu ated by sense of justice. For the sami reason the general assembly of this stat, bids fair to do the right thing by th' trolley lines in Connecticut. It is enl. right that established business should b. protected and when trolley companies ar permitted to thus better their service $ also to be realized that the public ha reason to expect higher degree of pro lection through the character of the ser vice, with less liability of accidents an In case of injury much better assuranc of getting recompense.

With the idea of checking the mad career of the reckless motorist, a Cali fornia inventor has brought out a speed indicating device, designed 10 be attached to the front of the radiator or to one of the front lenders. which will inform all other users of the thorough fare whether or not the car is being driven at a rate of speed within the legal limit, says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 Power to operate the device is trans mitted from one of the front wheels through the medium of a flexible shaft. The instrument proper consists of a governorlike mechanism which causes different -colored lights to show as dif- ferent rates or speed are attained. The white safety signal lights immediately the car gets under way.
 Should the legal speed rate within corporate limits be exceeded, a green light will shine. Upon exceeding the rate allowed for country roads. a red light blaze forth and continues to burn until the driver stops the car and turns switch built into the instrument body.
