The Metric System.

The metric system, which
measures everything in tens, is
the logical basis for all human
computations and measure
ments. The reason for this is
that all of us are equipped with
10 fingers and 10 toes. From
the time we are taught to say
"this little pig went to market" l"
our attention is directed to- our
didits. We normally count in
tens.
Thus it would seem reasonable
for this country to adopt the
metric system and do away
with our clumsy measurements
of miles, pounds. bushels and
gallons. Bills are even now be-
fore both houses of congress
providing for such change. All
scientific work is done metrical-
ly. The system is universally us
ed on the continent Of Europe.
Only England and the United
States lag.
To be sure, it would be a diff
fcult thing to accustom people
to boy milk by the liter, to
weigh goods by the gram anC
measure distances by the meter
France, when the system was
put into effect there in the day:
of.the revolution, suffered some
inconveniences for a time. II
fact, it was not until the perioC
of the second empire that it
use become universal.
} Two million Americans who re
: Gently took a notable little jour
ney to France are now more O
: less accustomed to the metri
system. If the change is eve
t to be made in this country, thi
r seems a good time. 1t viii no
mean that work win be any easi

The Painted Face.

Girls who attend the San Di-
ego, Calf, high school with
painted faces are required to
wash them before attending
classes. It would be a mighty
good idea if some older girls
could be subjected to the same
requirements.
Many women defend the paint
ed face custom, on the ground
that in no other way can a girl
get attention. But if a girl can
win friendship in that way only,
it is usually a sign that she is
pretty dull mentally. No rouge
pot ever took the place of either
brains or enthusiasm.
The girl who uses these artif-
cial means soon gets a withered
appearance. She repels discrim-
mating men, who abhor shams.
If some of these pale faced girls
would take brisk walks in the
open air, they would create color
infinitely superior to any drug
store brand.

The Army Preparing For Life.

The Army Preparing For Life.
Previous to the Wilson admin
istration, the army was regard
ed merely as a fighting machine.
Little attention was paid to the
effect Of the service on the men
who enlisted. Men who were
given no useful ways of occupy
ing spare time, except such or
dinary tasks as cutting grass at
the army posts, frequently de-
veloped bad habits and lawless
ways.
Under the present administra-
tion, the theory has been not
merely to make the army an eff
ficient fighting machine, which
has not been overlooked by any
means, but to make the expert
ence in the service a useful one
for the soldiers. There has now
been in operation for about a
year, an educational and voca-
tional system which trains them
in such useful callings as agri-
culture, printing, tractor work,
etc.
Thus not merely are the men
saved from formation of the vic
ious habits which the idle army
life often encouraged, but they
are helped on to efficient produc-
ton and business success after
their term of enlistment is fin.
ished.
Before this system was in
troduced, it was difficult to gel
recruits for the army. Big pos
ters we're put up all over th'
country, and recruiting officer,
were sent around everywhere
but the young men would no
enlist. Now with this training
the army has become popular
and there is no trouble abou
getting recruits. The expens
Of recruiting has been cut dow
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mar
This is one Of the most states
l manlike changes that has bee
made by any administration fo

Z gime will be remembered for
long time as the one that pu

"Der Tag"

When the Germans unleached
their dogs of war in August,
1914, it was freely predicted
that they had started some
thing they couldn't stop. That
that prediction has come true is
evidenced in the tidy sum the
Germans are requested to pay
for indemnity. 1t is now predict
ed that this little reminder of
their cussedness will tend to
dampen their ardor for repeti-
ton Of the performance.
The allied Premiers have APP
proved the reparations plan
which provides.
First-In forty-two years Ger
many shall pay to the Allies the
sum of 226,OOO,O 100000 marks
in gold, or its equivalent, on this
scale-2,00O,OOO,OO0 marks an
nually in 1921 and 1922, 9,OO0,-
100000 marks annually in 1928,
1924 and 1925, 4,000,00O,000
marks annually in 1926, 1927,
and 1928, 5,OOO,0OO,OO0 marks
in 1929, 1880, and 1881, and g.
000,0O0,000 annually from 1882
to 1862.
Second-Germany shall pay
to the Allies for forty-two years
an annual tax of IL per cent.
upon the total of her exports.
Three-Germany shall revise
her interior fiscal system, bal
ancing her budget and curtail-
ing the issue of paper money, in
crease her taxes generally, raise
the imports upon alcohol and to-
bacco, and increase railroad
fares and postal rates.
Fourth-In case Germany
does not fulfill these conditions
the Allies have the right to
: seize the German customs, inn
pose direct taxes in the Rhine
: land and otherwise exercise con-
troll upon Germany. In addition
military penalties will be provid-
: ed.
1t is too bad that the life OF
: the ex-Kaiser, ct al, couldn't be
) prolonged until they had paid
this amount through their owl
exertions at splitting elm limbs
: at two bits a cord.

People who cherish the Dem
ocratic faith do not need to be
discouraged because their party
representation is soon to be re-
duced in Congress to relatively
small proportions. The majority
party is already regretting that
their preponderance is so heavy.
History has proved that when
a party obtains too easy control
Of the government and too big
majorities in popular assemblies,
its tenure of power is less secure
than where the majority is less
overwhelming. A big majority
tends to make a party in power
careless in the performance of
its duty. It becomes too sure of
the country and too secure in its
position.
Under such circumstances, a
majority party will commonly
pass a lot of measures in which
it's ideas are carried to an ex.
treme. The point of view of lib
eral minded and independent
men is disregarded, as the ex.
! remist feel they can get along
without their votes. With {
powerful minority to offer OBJ
iections and criticise action TAX
en-, proposals would be toned
down, and made to correspon'
better with the interests of al
the people.
There win be a strong tenden
cy in the new Congress, to pas
legislation in which considera
tions of social justice and hu
. manitarian progress are no
sufficiently regarded. The ten
dency viii be powerful to legis
! late in the interest of capita
! and not to consider the right
!, and interests of the masses @
. the people.
The minority in the next Cor
gress, while lacking the pre-.
ence of some trusted leaders
h will contain many others wh
S have proved tried and true
n the cause of popular govern
: ment. They viii be heard in d,
s fence of the rights Of the pc,
h pie, and if their counsel is di
n regarded, the elections of 19f
y will show very different result
/" from those of 1920.

OLD SOLDIERS STAY
AT MILWAUKEE HOME,
Final Decision is Reached. That Vet
erans' Home at Milwaukee Will
Not be Discontinued.
(By Associated Press)

Milwaukee-The old soldiers will not
be moved from the Milwaukee national
soldiers home, Gen. George H. Wood,
Dayton, o., president of the board Of
managers of national homes for dis
aoIed soldiers, said today, following an
early morning conference. Whether
the old soldiers will be moved later de-
ponds upon future developments, the
general stated. "Men of the same age
would rather be together. Different
generations, it has been found, have
different IDEAS, and when grouped by
themselves, are happier" Gen. Wood
stated. He said that it was also found
impossible to complete the new $780,
900 hospital before the end of next
year. The original order, which re-
CURED all veterans not disabled or in
hospitals to be transferred to Leaven-
worth, Kas., Hampton, Va, or Danville,
H., aroused a storm Of criticism. Civic
organizations, Senator Lenroot and
Congre ssman John G. Kleczka rallied to
the support of the old soldiers.

HUNGER TIGHTENS
GRIP ON RUSSIA
Wholesale Starvation Exists in the VAL
ley of the Volga According to
Latest Reports.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire


Tsaritsyn, Russia (By courier to
Moscow Hunger is tightening it's
grip on the lower valley of the Volga.
Officials of the near East relief who
reached this city today after making a
survey of ten provinces in famine vast
ed, sun scorehed southeastern Russia
said conditions indicated wholesale
starvation by January if outside help
on large scale did not arrive i'm
mediately. The situation at Samara
was found to be grave but further
south it became worse. There the soil
is poorer and starvation is already at
the door.
The relief workers suggest the pur-
chase of grain in Bulgaria and Con-.
stantinople and vigorous steps to get it
to, the famine districts before the Rus
sian winter sets in and binds fast the
Don and Volga rivers.
There are in normal times 100000
workmen employed in the province of
Saratov but only four thousand are
now engaged in the factories. During
the past three months there have been
six hundred cases of cholera in this
city and 40 per cent of them have
been fatal During the same period
Il $50 cases of this dread disease have
been reported from Saratov provinces.
Two hundred deaths from starvation
have been reported officially in the
last fortnight. Black bread made
largely from acorns is selling at the
equivalent of one cent an ounce.
At Filonovo refugees from Saratov
climbed all over the Near East Re-
lief car attempting to escape to dis
tricts where food might be obtained.
There are 1000 of these homeless ones
in Tsaritsyn at present. They have no
place to go and the population is al
ready on short rations and is unable
to feed the emigrants. The Tsaritsyn
soviet is feeding 10000 children at or
phanages, giving them seven ounces of
bread and sixteen grams of sugar dali
ly. They receive soup three times
week when meat can be secured. This
work however cannot be carried or
later than January.

New York City.-Linn A. E. Gale,
whose communist activities in Mexico

on Governors Island on a charge of
evading the draft, has renowned his
radical beliefs and is attempting to OBJ
tain clemency. Military authorities at
Governors Island said today that no
official cognizance had been taken of
Gales promises to sever connection
with the radical movement but that he
probably would be placed on trial with
in the next ten days.
The American Civil Liberties Union
made public correspondence with Sam
uel NJ. Castleton,( Gales attorney, in
which the counsel was asked to confirm
or deny the report that his client had
mot only renowned his radical views,
but had offered to give the government
information against radicals which he
acquired as one of them"
Castleton wrote that Gale desires to
state that he is absolutely sincere in
reputation of his former radical opin-
ions, as expressed through Gales mag
azine, and that at no time in the flu
ture will he engage in radical activi-
ties" The charge on which Gale will
be tried results from his induction in
the draft in Albany after which he
fed to Mexico where he published his
magazine. He was deported by Presi-
dent Obregon and arrested at Laredo,
Texas.

Joseph CIeerman
is Heavily Fined
Indecent Exposure Case Occupies Time
of Municipal Court This Morning
Hot Legal Battle Included.


Joseph Cleerman was fined 500 and
costs or sixty days in jail this morning
following a hot legal battle between
Judge Joseph R. Clarkson for the state
and Attorney John Kuehnl for the de-
Tense. The testimony and evidence in
the case rested on the testimony of
Peter Cleerman and wife and small
daughter. Cleerman is brother of the
defendant and for this reason it was
said that the defendant made more
than indecent approaches to Mrs. Cleer-
man. Judge Clarkson made an impas-
stoned speech for the conviction of the
defendant, stating that Cleerman was
a dangerous character, beast, and a
man of the vilest motives. This was
the second or third time that Joseph
Cleerman has been arrested on the
charge of indecent exposure.
