THE JUGGERNAUT

The motor car was built for pleasure, for max
ing life grand sweet song, and in that line it
is treasure, when drivers heads aren't work
ing wrong. When fooled with care and circum-
spection, and sanely driven to and fro the auto
is my first selection among the precious boons
| know. If driven thus a car might travel for
twenty years, and shed no blood, might squash
no voter in the gravel, plaster him with dark
brown mud. If driven thus 'twould be no terror
no monster of the public ways, and lifting bards
would make no error in handing it all kinds of
praise. But few, so few, oh, gentle reader these
homely truths can deeply feel; most every gent
becomes a speeder when he is at the steering
wheel. Most every guy will take some chances,
and knock rule statute cold and so his
gaudy bus advances, with victims round the
axles rolled Oh every hour provides warming
and still the speeders do not mind; the death
lists longer every morning, the coroner is miles
behind The surgeon and the learned physician
are hourly patching some poor wight, the while
the sad and pale mortician is planting jays by
day and night The motor car would be bless
ing II fooled by drivers who are sane; but it is
simply quite distressing to count the wounded
and the slain.

ABSENCE

dorothy Parker, in Life
/ never dreamed the lark would hush
its note,
AS day succeeded ever-drearier day
Nor knew the song that swelled the
robins throat
Would fade to silence when YOU
went away.
l never thought the slim moon
mournfully,
Would shroud her pallid self in
murky night,
Dear heart, l never thought these
things would be

OBSERVATIONS
by Moses Folsom.)

Investigations made by the U. s. Bureau of
Plant Industry with Florida grapefruit in stor-
age brought out these points Grapefruit keeps
longer in cold storage than in either common or
warm storage, due to less decay from rotproduc-
ing organisms. There is also less shrinkage with
low temperatures and the normal life OF the fruit
is apparently heightened. The flavor of the fruit
improves in cold storage due to the increase of
sugars and decrease of acdity. This apparent
sugar increase is largely due to the loss of water
by shrinkage and this change is brought about
much more rapidly with the higher temperatures
The shrinkage in weight varies from to per
cent in low temperatures to % per cent in warm
ventilated storage receptaces When fruit was
kept six months there was no apparent tendency
to deteriorate rapidly after removal from storage
The best storage temperature proved to be 32
degrees, for at this degree the fruit kept longer
and showed less pitting of the skin and actual
decay. This pitting is an undesirable feature
of cold storage, and, although merely surface
blemish manifested in brown sunken areas rem.
ders the fruit unsightly OF the temperatures en-
ployed, 40 degrees seemed to favor the greatest
development of this pitted condition.

the Labor income of the men with
"a hish-school education averages
Sj26 more than that of the man with
only Il common-Schooi education. A
further increase of 1888 is earned
by the man with a college cduca-
ton making the difference in labor
income of the cOmmon-school grad
uate and that of the college grad
iuate 1919. Approximately the same
result appears from a survey of the
incomes of 635 Kansas farmers.
OF 400 farmers in Nebraska. those
who had attended high school made
U32.1 per cent more than those who
had only Il cOmnon-School course.
Men who attended college make
1917 more than the high-school
mon, giving the college man an ad-
vantage over the cOmmon-school
man of SIS per cent.
In an inquiry as to those who
earned more than $1,000 IA year,

shows that while 5 per cent of the
farmers with a district-School cdu-
cation were in the class that hard

1hrouyhO out the campaign Of last
fall Mr.. Harding brought out plan
which ne called the "ASsociation OF
Nations" Since taking Office in
March this Association of Nations
has been referred to very intrc-
Qucntly SO that very few people
really know what the Association
of Nations really means. 1t is en-
cccdinsly doubtful if the admins
tration itself is fully aware of what
it means by an Association OF Ma
tons. 1t seems 10 be the continual
ton of the policy OF Roosevelt III
that the United States will under
take to decide the right and wrong
of European affairs and take the
part which it believes is right. But
The fundamental principle of the
Assoc iation of Nations even goes
farther than that in its overthrow
of American ideals and standards
for by this plan the United States
will join in with the powers of
Europe to regulate the rest Of the
world whether for right or for
wrong. The smaller nations would
be entirely subject to the control Of
this Association. Fundamentally it
is against the ideals which We have
maintained throughout our eNis-
tcncc-againSt any idea Of Sclf-dc-
termination for which we have al
ways stood in the past. Any such
grouping of power would incvit-
ably lead TO bullying of smaller ma
tons by the larger powers. Nations
are composed OF men and men
given unlimited power arc apt TO
direct that power to selfish interests
rather than to the interests of the
whole body of mankind. and so ii
would be in the case of the MEM
bcrS of the Association of Nations.
The same principle is involved in
this question as caused the rcvolu-
tion-no representation. And can
any group Of nations regulate The
, world without giving the other
countries Of the world chance to
SAY what they would like and pre-
vent revolution? Could we as Il ma
iiion view with diSfavor any such
revolution against control by such
an association? And how does this
association differ from the League
OF Nations? Only in the fact thai
! the League gives every nation Il
chance to be represented in lis de-
! iibcrations-and that the League
/ was conceived in the mind of a
Democrat. Haven't the American
,pcoplc stood for representative gov
eminent at all times? Are they go
ing TO bciral themselves by joining
an Association Of Nations that does
deny to free and independent GOV
ernmcnts the right Of representa-
lion in the future conduct of the ma
lions of the world in their dealings
one with another?
