MORE INITIATIVE NEEDED

What this old trouble bespotted
world Of ours needs at the present
time can very clearly be outlined in
a few words. Here they are-more
initiative and less referendum. If that
doesn't come about as near hitting the
nail on the head as possible, then
what can.
1t is usually about this time of year
that people begin to weaken in their
New Years resolutions-and when
they begin to weaken they usually fall.
It required but little initiative to form
a set of good Notwithstanding.
playing poker until the wee sma'
hours of the morning, etc.-but it
takens "dickens" of lot of persist
ent continuation of that initiative to
keep and follow up even a fair to
middling grade Of resolutions. Initia-
tive and determination are vastly more
difficult to continue than referendum.
Breaking those good resolutions, dear
reader-"Just for this once"-is much
easier than sticking to them without
any slipping from the path we have
laid out for our feet to follow during
the coming year. It's not too late
yet to add vow or two to those YOU
made the first of the year.

TIGERS
-. AREDEFEATED

The only time that the basketball
game between the Baseball Associa-
tion and the American Legion was in
doubt, was just before the first t
draw your own conclusions. The game
started off with a rush, as such games
do. The object of the baseball asso-
citation was to get the ball through the
little round hoop fastened at one end
of the floor. This of course was ex-
planned to them. very carefully before
the game tarted. But then the base
ball association always played with
bats, but their arms came in just as
handy for that. There were no cas-
ualties, but it is reported unofficially
today that most of the baseball play
ers are resting as comforta bly, as
could be expected.
It is ru-1ored about that there is tt

the measure that it could have the ef-
feet of Immediately causing the coun-
try to become an oasis. This could
not be expected. 1t has required years,
and sometimes centuries to root out
other evils which have prevailed. Alb
solute prohibition could not be expect
ed, under similar circumstances. But
before the prohibition amendment is
another year old, we will witness the
strong arm of the law, slowly but
surely, as an actopus seizes it's prey:

stands against him.
The whole affair is said to have
started when Gottlieb, who it is al

had the car stored. He is said to have

charged with shooting with deadly

at the time he was taken into custody
that he fired point blank at another
pedestrian, but the shot missed, and
went through one Of the windows of

preliminary hearing he plead not
guilty, but another charge was pre-

AS will be noted, there were several
substitutes, put in, especially on the
associations side, the players being
too short winded to play such fast
game and keep it up.
The baseball association takes this
way of thanking the public who turned
out and gave the association such gen.
erous support. The proceeds of last
nights game will practically clean up
ali the existing debts, it was said this
morning.

This week is being observed all over
the nation as Thrift Week. NO
doubt much good will resul tfrom it.
The people Of this country have been
living in an age of extravaganza,
YOU can't deny it-during the period
Immediately following the war. Wages
were high, and you spent lavlsnly,
and bought articles that you had be-
fore scarcely considered. But now IS
the time to start to save. Remember
this much that wages are not always
Going to be inflated, and living. as
easy as it has been, and a few dollars
in the bank for rainy day IS not 60
ing to come amiss at some future date.
No matter how small your account
NAV be at first, remember the same
rule holds true in other things IN this
world. The fastest ships, locomotives,
motor boats. automobiles and air
nlanes have to start slowly; air
nlanes attain a speed of more than
two miles per minute, but that is not
reached until they have been on the
move some time. They don't start at
two miles per minute. The same with
y hank account. A man who has
80 600 in the bank didn't start with
that amount He started with per-
haps 81, but by adding cent a1ter
cent and dollar after dollar, that &C.
count kept gaining momentum, until II
reached that figure. That man has at

Currents in the Maine Gulf,

Some interesting explorations have
recently been made in the so-called
Gulf of Maine Three hundred and
thirty drift bottles We're set out in the
: bay and 16 of these were picked up off
the bay shores of the Gulf of Maine,
Each bottle contained Canadian post
card to be sent to the biological sta
ton with the offer of a reward to the
finder who wrote the time and place
Of finding and posted the card. The
larger bottles had galvanized iron
drag which was attached so that the
bottle was hung at depth of three
fathoms. This was done to minimize
the effect Of the wind. Seven out of
the II bottles which went to Cape Cod
were found between seventy and eighty
days after being sent out. The dis
lance from the Bay of Fundy Is about
300 nautical miles; therefore, the rate
of drift was about four nautical miles
per day. There was a map of the
course of the drift bottles published
in a recent issue of Science.-Scien-
tific American.

Record of Sunshine.

]. B. Kincer of the weather bureau
has just published in the Monthly
Weather Review valuable analysis of
the available SUNSHINE records of this
country. He presents charts and
graphs showing for all parts Of the
United States the mean solar time of
sunrise and sunset, the average length
of the day, sunrise to sunset, for differ
ent seasons of the year; the average
for each month in the year, of the daily
amounts of sunshine, in hours the sea-
sonal and annual amounts in percent.
age Of the maximum possible; the
yearly percentage of clear, partly
cloudy and cloudy days. Data of this
character is comparatively scarce, for
the reason that the instruments re-
Quired to make these records are very
delicate and require expert attention.
A great deal of meteorological observa-
ton work is done by amateurs or vol
unteers who are not equipped with the
necessary apparatus for accurately re-
cording the periods of sunshine.

Couldn't Stand Motor Traffic,

Few Americans travelling from Dur
ham to London, more than 200 miles.
realize that the road on which their
car is moving was originally surveyed
and constructed by the Romans. 1t
was called Waiting street, and it ran
north to that Roman wall along the
Cheviot hills which kept out the in
vading PictS and Scots.
Having u perfect foundation, the
road was easily surfaced and main
tanned through all those centuries.
But the motor car made necessary its
complete reconstruction. 1t was the
same with the more famous Appian
Way out of Rome. The destructive
suction of rubber tires demolished in

TWO FAMOUS YANKEE SHIPS
Old Gunboat MarbIehead and Gutter
Bear, in Humble Service, Still
Are making Good"

Trading along the west Mexican
coast carrying panocha, hides, bees
wax and other freight is the fate OK
the once proud American gunboat Mar
blehead.
The vessel has been sold to Jose
Delallave, a Mazatlan ship operator,
by the United States government for
few thousand Mexican dollars. Del
allave has renamed the Marblehead

Spanish war fame, with proud record
Of achievement right up to the days Of
the last Victory loan drive, when the
Marblehead left San Francisco as the

Navy.
The announcement Of coast guard
authorities that the U. S. c. G. cutter
Bear probably never will sail into the
North again marks a sharp turn in
the history of one Of the most famous
adventure ships flying the American
flag.
After more than two-score years Of
battling with ice foes and arctic gales,
the Bear is under orders to make San
Diego her base and serve as a training
ship for coast guard recruits.
Since the Bear, in charge Of Com
modore Schley, later admiral, rescued
the seven survivors Of the Greeley arc
tic expedition in 1884 she has been
devoted to service in the northern
seas with the navy, the frontier rev.
enue service and in recent years as
part of the coast guard fleet. She was
and sealer.
The full story Of her career would
constitute a library of stirring tales.
Among her many duties she has kept
watch and ward over the Eskimos, car
ried the law to the shores where Kip
ling said no law extended, protected
the fur-seal herd from poachers of the
"Sea Wolf" type, and given the sane
ton Of the white mans standards to
marriages beyond the arctic circle.
NATIVES. lcuCneTS, IUlSSloIluIlcS,
traders and marines in the North have
for generation regarded the annual
cruise of the Bear as a routine part
Of their existence.
Not a season has passed-including
the present one-that the Bear has not
saved lives by imperative operations
performed in her sick bay, by the res
cue of marooned or shipwrecked crews
or by landing provisions to the inhab,
itants of isolated shores.

In the state Of Nebraska there are
twenty thousand square miles of coun-
try that is absolutely treeless. The
soil is nothing hut sand on which no
plant grows except a long grass that
is good for grazing.
Anciently, perhaps seven million
years ago. the area in question was
part of the floor of a sea. Hence, of
course. the sand. But within comparl-
lively recent times the region must
have been fOrested, for here and there
are discovered stumps of trees as
much as two feet in diameter
Discovery of these old stumps led
the United States forest service to be-
lieve that trees might be made to
grow there again. Accordingly. the
experiment was begun about eighteen
years ago, and. as a result, about five
thousand acres of young forest have
been successfully established. Some
of the trees today are as much as
twenty-five feet high.
The trees planted in this area are
all of them of cOniferous varieties
jack pine, Norway pine and yellow
pine. At Halsey. Neb, is maintained
a nursery, which produces two million
Of these little trees each year.
For planting them, novel method
is adopted. Instead of setting each
little tree in hole by itself, pillow
is run along through the sand, and
the baby trees are planted in row
in the furrOw.
