APPROPRIATION FOR BUREAU OF
MINES AND GEOLOGY.

The state bureau of mines and sc
ology has now been in existence 70
two years and the work it has ac
complished is the best evidence of it
value to the state. The development
of the mineral resources of the STATE
means much more than merely the
profitable extraction of ores and tho
building up of local communitie.
around the mines. II means these, OF
course but these are really of least
importance as viewed from the stand
point of the state The development
OF mines provides the best market for
agricultural products of the state, for
fruits and for live stock, an advantage
that is particularly Impressive at this
time when Idaho farmers and stock
men are effectually shut out of the
eastern market on account of the pre-
vailine high freight rates. The open
ing up of new mining fields will be
an important factor in onsettng this
dimculty for it viii provide a mar

demand throughout the year 1t is to
promote the development of the min
eral resources of the state that the
bureau of mines and geology was Gre
ated. but it is a mistake to assume
that the mining industry is the sole
beneficiary. TO Illustrate take the
bulletin that has recently been issued

on the Seven Devils district OF course
we have known for many years that
there were great possibilities for min
eral development in that section of
the state, but this bulletin contains .
specific information secured by train
ed biologists and mineraIoglsts who /
devoted much time TO a study of the .
district. The information is sent out
under the seal of the state free from
and with no other pur-
pose than to supply those who desire
with the facts Suppose
that this bulletin results in attracting
large capital to the Seven Devils dis

Britain's Hearty Acceptance.

While the ratification of the Irish
treaty by the British Parliament had
been foreshadowed, the majorities
are such as to show how earnestly
JOHN BULL is for peace with his
other island. The die hard" amend
ment to the Kings speech was re-
jected in the House OF Commons by a
vote of more than 6 to 1 and in the
House Of Lords by nearly 4 to /.
Two hemispheres now await the
decision of the Dali Eireann. Whether

mentary ratification, or indirectly ty
causing the question to be referred
70 people who seem keen for the
Irish Free State, is not important.
Ratification by the Dali would be the
signal for the beginning OF new
Ireland. A plebiscite in which the
irreconcilables were defeated would
have the further advantage of silenc-
Ing doubters on both sides Of the
Atlantic.

Peace Work for picric Acid.

Farmers are finding picric acid
useful in clearing their lands OF
stumps and its use Is recommended
by the Department Of Agriculture of
the United States.
At the close Of the war there was q
large quantity of picric acid in the pos
session of the Government. This sur
plus war material is stored at Sparta,
Wisconsin, and Fort Wingate, New
Mexico, and farmers who want to use
1t for blowing up stumps can have
what they need at no greater expense
than the cost Of drying, packing
and freight charges. Groups of
farmers have already secured ship
ments OF carload lots and It Is hoped
to establish cooperating agencies for
its distribution all over the Union.
Anything that will tighten the toll
of the farmer in clearing up rough
timber land so that he can plant a
crop is boon and will help him to
forget some OF the evils resulting
from the war.

prosperous farmer in Maryland.
WILLIAM HAYWARD was eager to
adopt the calling OF his father, an
Englishman Of sterling qualities and
modest demeanor who rode the
horses Of A. j. CAssATr, head Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Increasing
weight cut short his promising ca
reer. 1t was the same story with
FRANK MrDGLEY, son of another Eng
lishman, WILLIAM MIDGLEy, who was
killed In e hurdle race. Another son
rode with fair success for time and
is now training for the Greentree
Stables.
Another rider OF to-day in the
novice class who should be great by
right of inherited talent is THOMAS
BURNS, close blood relation Of
young MCLAUGHLIN. His father was
one of the best riders in the period
between 1895 and 1908, while his
mother Is a daughter Of JAMES Nc

value of toads In n garden. particularly

Another valuable suggestion was con-

OF fire and went something like this

old piece of carpet or shawl to throw
over a burning female or any other ob-

Jockeys by Inheritance.

That proficiency ia horsemanship
may descend from father to son was
illustrated in Havana recently when
AUSTIN McLAUGHLIN, son Of JAMES
MCLAUGHLIN, premier rider of the
United States generation ago, won
three races in one afternoon at the
Oriental Park course.
Most jockeys are averse TO having
their sons adopt their calling; yet
there are many instances of the
transmission os skill in riding from
one generation TO another. FRED
LtrIGNYELD. son OF CHARLES LITTLE
rIELu. one OF the finest horsemen of
his day, was a rider who followed in
the footsteps Of his father and made
good. He saved the money he earned

The Spirit That Gets There.

The Mutsu decision gives an admir-
able measurement Of the purpose and
vision OF the leading figures in the
Washington conference. It was good
manners and wise diplomacy for
them to concede that the pride OF the
Japanese navy and the Japanese peo-
ple alike should be saved from the
scrap heap.
To clear minds and big natures it
could not be matter Of vital i'm
portance in the great programme of
armament limitation whether Japan
kept or did not keep a given ship,
when a proper counterbalance was
possible in any event.
But the national sentiment inter
woven with the whole fibre of the
Mutsu was OF large moment in Japan.
This war vessel had not merely fired
the patriotic ardor Of the Japanese
people as the latest word In powerful
sighting machines afioat. She had
feen a gift to the Government from
the private pockets OF the japanese
people. ANY sensitive nation would
10 justified in feeling deeply wounded
il such gift were taken from it
Ly international compact.
Furthermore, Japan had met the
other delegates of the conference in
so fair a spirit and on so many
points that It was amply due her that
IN the circumstances they should
meet her in this matter of profound
national objection to the destruction
Of the Mutsu.
Cast iron infiexibility gets nowhere
I'm diplomacy or in the working out
OF the problems OF great business or
ganizations. Give and take gets very
far. The spirit of the Washington
conference is Of the latter order.
This is one OF the chief reasons for
its splendid achievements.

Discreditable Police Work.

| A workman in the Sewer Depart
ment found yesterday in a catch basin
at Skillman avenue and Van Dam
street, Long Island City, the lower
part Of woman's body. This was
immediately identified as part Of
/ the body of which the torso was
discovered 500 feet from the catch
basin on October %.
The man who yesterday brought
to light the section Of the body was
not searching for 1t. He was giving
the catch basin its periodical clean
| ing out. The news reports say 1t
"had not been cleaned out since some
time prior to the finding Of the
torso"
II would seem that a natural course
for the police engaged in the effort
to identify the woman whose torso
was found on October % would have
been to check up promptly on the
condition of the catch basins in the
vicinity. Each of them offered pos
sible hiding place for portions Of the
body OF which accident revealed a
fragment to them. But apparently
this was not done and practically
seven weeks elapsed before the rou-
tine work of the Sewer Department
disclosed the secret concealed In this
catch basin.
The police assigned 10 the task Of
identifying the woman whose dis
menibered body has now been found
in its entirety-the legs were recov-
cred in Van Cortlandt Park on No
vemper obviously neglected to
make their search as exhaustive as
il should have been. If they erred
in other details as they did In this
their failure to discover the woman's
identity Is far from being cause for
astonishment.

Az to Lunar Vegetation.

Professor PIcKERrNG's recent an.
nouncement that vegetation may
exist on the moon is received with
little faith by the astronomers and
writer's on scientific subjects in Eu-
rope. Among these eminent skeptics
are LIE MoRvAx OF the Paris Astronom-
ical Observatory and CHARLES NoRD-
sfANN, whose discussions of scientific
topics are marked by a clarity OF
language and freedom from techni.
cal terminology which. while in no
manner detracting from their accu-
racy, have made them very popular.
Both LII MonvAN and NoRDMASN
concur with Professor PICKERING as

uomena long ago incontestably estab-

PIcEERING's vegetation theory accu-
rate. But LIE MoRvAN and NoRpMANy

but the French scientists attribute
them to the refraction Of solar rays

The Bourgeois Defined.

The exact status In the social fab
ric of that pet aversion OF anarchists,
communists and Bolshevists, the
bourgeois, is discussed in the Revae
dos DeuT Mondcs by ANDRE LrcHTEN-
BERGER. He clears the ground with n
page or so devoted to an exposition Of
just what the bourgeois Is.
To this end he gives three defini.
tions before coming to his own.
Louis BLANC, for instance, says that
the bourgeoisie is the ensemble Of
those who possess capital and the An
struments of labor. ANDRE LrEssE
says the bourgeois is man with the
gift of order who possesses q sense
OF economy and true concep-
tion of the family. RENE JoHANNET
says the bourgeois is every man TO
whom the control Of private property
furnishes complete or partial inde.
pendence. and who. profiting by GER.
tain amount Of leisure, devotes his di-
recting energies to agriculture, COM
merce, industries or the liberal ca
reers, including the army. M. JoHAN.
NET amplifles this definition with a
number of specifications Of bourgeois
private life, distinctions and habits,
and summarizes the matter by saying
'in general. the workingman type
spends all he earns and gives special
care to his nourishment. with an
identical income the bourgeois econ.
omizes, is better lodged and better
dressed"
Inspired by these definitions, M.
LrcHTENprroEs offers his own concept
