New Airplane.

Builders of the "bat-wing" airplane
have designed the new craft to over
come the resistance Of struts, wires
and fuselage that in the usual type
of machine consumes almost three
quarters of the engine power. The
new design, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine, is great double cambefed
airfoil that terminates at right and
left in the conventional ailerons and
that tapers in the rear to tail that
has the usual elevator and rudder.
The aerofoil measures 100 feet from
tip to tip and swells in the front to a
thickness Of seven feet. In that bulge
is a cabin 80 feet long, eight feet wide
and six feet in height. The new plane
is an internally trussed cantilever
structure covered with wood veneer
so tough that the wing surfaces can
be walked upon.

Mark Twain's Elephant.

Most of US receive white elephants
at Christmas, minus trunks and tails,
but Mark Twain, the American hu-
morist, actually received an elephant
one Yuleude. Just before the fes-
tive season a great friend wrote and
told him II he was willing to accept an
elephant as a token Of his regard, 1t
would arrive in due course. Whether
Mark looked upon the whole thing as
a Joke or not one cannot say, but ne
answered the letter by return mail,
thanking his friend for the offer, and
agreeing to accept the animal. First,
huge supply Of hay was delivered,
then an elephant trainer was an
nounced to inspect the premises, to
see that there was proper accommoda-
ton for the beast, and finally. the anil
NAL itself appeared upon the scene. 1t
was a very fine specimen, and, to the
casual observer, 1t might have come
straight from India However, on Its
new master closely Inspecting 1t, ne
found his Christmas present was most
beautifully modelled Of cardboard. An
amusing practical joke, but somewhat
expensive.

Faulty Diet.

In an investigation of 227 diets sup
posed to be typically American, Prof.
II. c. Sherman Of Columbia university
has found that only one was deficient
In protein, while 81 were lacking in
calcium. II each of the low-energy
diets was increased to 5000 calories,
none would lack protein, but seven
per cent would still have too little cal
cium. The needed calcium carbonate
or phosphate can best be supplied by
foods rich in lime. OF these milk has
the advantage Of increasing the high
grade proteins and providing the es-
sential fat-soluble vitamine.

is necessary TO cut down the brush
for two or three years. When old
trees with wide-spreading crowns
threaten TO shade the seedlings so
they will not develop properly, the
bulletin suggests that such trees be
SYt out a few years after the new
planting has been started.
To produce clean-bodied timber,
close spacing is desirable. When the
tops Of the trees begin to intermingle
and crowd each other, however, they
become like overcrowded vegetables In
a garden. Growth is stagnated. A
good gardener will pull some Of the
vegetables In a garden that have
reached this condition. When trees
have reached a similar stage, some of
them should be cut out. In both cases
the result Is the best development of
the remaining part rather than poor
development Of the original number.
The best formed and most healthy
trees should be permitted to remain,
and the others that are likely to inter
fere with their growth should be re-
moved.
Trimmings are usually necessary
when a plantation becomes twenty
years old, sometimes sooner The
openings In the crown-cover Of the
stand made by removing trees should

Pruning Of tree branches is usually

pruned too far up 1t may become top

winds. The catalpa, ash and black
cherry are known to have suffered
from this, and 1t seems likely the same
Is true Of many other species. If, be-
cause Of wide spacing, pruning is nee
essary, 1t should be conducted in late
winter or early spring, and should not
be overdone.

A Few Words on Art

from to say word in discourage
ment of art, but cannot lend our approval to a
bill introduced into the yesterday appropriat-
ing $500 painting the portraits of the speaker
and the president. may it be suspected that we
would withhold this appropriation because of any
anfmosity we entertain against these presiding Of
opinion of both and is that in that
we voice our objection the proposed use of the
public funds.
The walls of both chambers already adorned
with portraits rather called portraits of presid
ing officers past and gone. They are for the most
such monstrosities that the subjects should
say the victims of portraiture have ground for
libel against the state which through legislative
preparation has held them up to public ridcu1e and
contempt.
The sum of $500 for portraits is either too
much or too little. In the present state of the
finances of Arizona, we could not recommend more
so we are forced by necessity to advising less--a
much less sum which would be enough to procure
two enlarged photographs of which would look
like the president and the other like the speaker
A painting is something to be cherished but
mere daub of not thing upon which public
money should be expended
Half the portraits on the walls of the two cham
bers cannot be identified by the closest personal
friends of the SUBJECTS those who knew every fea-
ture and lneament them
We hope that have said in the foregoing moth
ing which will betray rudimentary familiarity
with matters relating and especially the de-
partment of portraiture.

son-n-Iaw and said that it would not be expedient

favored one. but when he learned that IFS purpose
was to GUST Chairman White, he had changed his
mind as he opposed any attempt to push White from
the chair and so permit him to enjoy the simple

world as though an effort were being made to have
the next campaign McAdoodled into attempted
renaissance of wisconsin; by running Mr.. McAdoo
on the platform of President Wilson's achievements

that such a course would be the and qunt-

An Uninprovins Amendments

With education bills designed to make
our public school system more efficient, a house
committee monkeyed to the extent of restoring the
office of state superintendent Of public instruction
to an elective basis; that maintaining
plan of having either democratic or a republican
superintendent.
1t is from that very thing that the most nteili-
gent students OF school matters years have been
trying to get away All who have the interests OF
the schools at heart have tried to associate party
politics from them; have tried to make superin-
tendents both county and state, all who
have anything to do with the management of
schools forget that they are republicans demo-
Gratis. The people generally clinging they may
have done party sides have also tried to forget
party in relation to the schools, SO elections
of trustees party lines generally been aside
But the politicians have endeavored to keep the
party fires burning and in this they have in
sisted that the head the system should be chosen,
not because of his merits as a school but be-
he is either republican democrat.
1t the democratic members Of the commit
tee who achieved this restoration partisanship in
the schools we think in the circumstances it
bad partisan strategy. The democrats are likely
fare under the elective than under the appoin
tive SYSTEM. They more likely to elect COVER
than they state school superintendent The
present superintendent, Miss Toles, though repub
ncan, served two terms county superintendent in
the strongest democratic county IN the state ana
could have served there Indefinitely If she had not
been elevated to her present position. We have no
doubt that by the voice of the people she remain
in the position of superintendent long she
desires to hold it against all whether they
paraded democrats or republicans.
But the office should not be even nornina1ly
partisan office. The slightest form of partsanshp
should be removed that the people might not be

dates and reject highly competent for

half what they were last year, and
many farmers have harvested their
corn at a loss.
In view of these facts, young
Illinois farmer suggested the gift corn
project, which has grown to such pro-
portions. The offer was made to the
committees for relief in China and the
Near East. They considered the diff
ficulties of transportation and decided
to try to overcome them by obtaining
donations of money and help. Some
money has already been collected and
trainmen have offered their services
free in carrying the grain across
country.
With this much of the ways and
means problem worked out, the corn
is beginning to be collected at railroad
centers and the first cargo has been
shipped to Constantinople. An attempt
is to be made to keep track of in
dividuaI donations, so that a report
can be rendered to the giver showing
when and by whom the corn was used.
Shipping Troubles
Shipping corn is a much more COM
plicated business than shipping wheat.
There is about l. per cent water in
corn, and the moisture in the grain is
