; More About Disarmament.

We are not lacking in sentimentality
and we possess our fair share Of
ideafism; therefore we are entirely
in sympathy with President Hard
ings noble desire for disarmament,
and if our support and propaganda is
of any advantage to this movement,
we are more than willing to lend
both.
But old skepticism, which gnaws
at the hearts of all thinking persons.
makes this rejoinder: "Armaments
will increase all the more under q
law which prohibits them; at the
most. they will become transformed"
AS matter of fact, will 1t be pos
sible to prohibit chemists from max
ing poison gases, which are an, i'm
plem ent of war, or will these chemists
continue to prepare the gases and
conserve them and then ask high
prices for them when there is need
What sort, Of international police
force will be- able to prohibit a. gov
ernment from keeping in its posses
sion a formula and the ingredients
Of a. formula necessary in preparing
some powerful war implements?
The noble object of our President
is to plan an end for all the projects
Of war and in this way to establish
universal peace. But, alas, 1t has al
ways happened that whenever too
much was said about peace, some war
which was lurking around the corner
hurried on its way all the faster

COMING OF DOG DAYS RECALL OLD
BELIEF ASSOCIATED WITH PERIOD

the belief that dog days" have anything
to do with the spread of rabies.
But records show that more dogs go
mad" during the summer. which en-
braces the "dog-day'' period Of the year.
Yet, there may be other reasons for this,
as people are out in the open more dur
ing the summer and. therefore. more
likely to come in contact with rabid ami
mails: besides. it is conceded that rabies
develops faster in hot weather.
Many superstitions are associated with
the coming of the "dog-day" period. such
as the belief that it is dangerous to bathe
in a creek or river at this time, and
peremptory orders are sometimes given
to the youth to avoid the old ''swimmin'
hole" for the water is thought to be
poisonous to any cut or skin abrasion,
etc.
Theories and superstitions Of what can
occur during dog days" are gradually
passing away, among thinking people !;
such conceptions are now relic Of the
past days similar to the ground hog
fnilacy.
Country boys who are deprived Of the
comforts of their ''swlnmin' hole" dur
ing the month Of August are now in
open rebellion against the superstition.

The period Of the year Of the dog
star" known in astronomy as the bril-
liant sun Sirius, is now with us-usually
the hottest part of the summer.
Pliny says that dog days" began with
the heliacal rising of Procyon. one Of the
dog stars" which takes place about the
Goth of July. and this date has been
widely accepted. But he also says the
sun was then entering Leo. which rule
makes the dog days" begin July %.
which also has been used. Hippocrates
says dog days" were the hottest and
most unhealthy part of the summer.
The dog days" period of the year,
long noted by many people. when, 1t is
said. that rattlesnakes become blind and
strike at any passing noise, when dogs
become infected with hydrophobia and in
a condition to spread the disease among
men and beasts. may well be watched.
According to the records of the Pasteur
institute, the cases of rabies show cor
responding increase during this summer
period. Regar ardless Of the prevalence OF
