states who are actually subnofiaai
and stunted in growth because they
are underfed
90 Yet our country IS one of I'M
limited food resources.
90 The evil conditions which exists
is traceable for the most part to the
opportunity which middlemen have for
exacting unlimited profits in the dis
tribution of food
They are asking laws that will eff
fectlvely put an end to profteering,
boarding and monopoly in the distribu-
ton of food and in addition to these,
they ask another to limit the number
of sales that may be made between the
producer and the consumer.
Already they are finding themselves
opposed by the interests that have
been praeticing extortion in the field
of food distribution and wish to con-
tinue to do so. The contest promises
to be long and bitter. In the end. the
women will win. This will not be be-
cause they are right and their adver-
saries wrong, but because the interests
Of both producers and consumers of
food, who compromise a vast majority
of our people, are on the women's side
of the controversy.

OF NOTE ONCE
WORKED in
WISCONSIN

A 6-inch telescope in its observatory
and a published record of scores of
new stars discovered thru its use con-
stitute the lasting memorial possessed
by the University of Wisconsin of the
work of the late Prof. S. w. Burnham,
famous astronomer who died recently.
In 1881, while working on astrono-
mical observations in Washburn OBJ
servatory at the University of Wiscon-
sin, in association with Prof E. S. Hol-
den, director of the observatory, Pro-
fessor Burnham brought to the obser-
vatory 6-inch telescope that is still
in use
With this telescope, Professor Burn
ham discovered SO new double stras
and measured large number of 9th
ers during his short association with
the university. His observations were
published in Vol. of the Publication
Of Washburn observatory.
In his highly specialized field of
double stars, Professor Burnham later
became a dominant figure and accom-
pllshed monumental work in his two
volume catalogue, published by Car
negie institute, Washington. His last
years of work were spent at Yerkes
observatory.

7HOUGHTBIRDON
HAT WAS REAL

The screams of a woman in a rail-
road station in Poughkepsie, N. Y,
brought waiting travellers to their feet
to see woman clawing the air strik-
ing wildly at huge cat which had
landed on her shoulders. The cat had
been watching the stuffed bird on the
woman's hat, and, finally thinking the
bird was alive, had made a spring for
it. The cat was pulled away, but the
hat and bird were ruined ard the wo-
man had to complete her journey bare
headed.

PESSIMISTIC
BUT TRUE

Peace is a beautiful thing, but be-
fore we spend too much time in dream
| ing of the peace of the world we should
take practical steps to restore peace
at home
There is deadly war on right here
| IN America-a war to the finish. It
/ is war between the criminal element
and responsibility.
Murderers, bank robbers, mail loot
ers, holdup men and cheap thugs are
becoming too numerous. These depre-
dations are Of daily and nightly oc-
curence in the big cities. The GRIMM
al element is becoming so bold and so
powerful and insolent as to constitute
distinct menace to the future of law
and order and decency in this country
Probably the most alarming phase of
the whole unsavory mess is the facil-
ity with which these gangsters escape
punishment. 1t is easier for a MUIR
derer or holdup man to manufacture
fictitious alibi than it is for a decent
man to kick the cat. And there is al
ways some lawyer crook ready and ak
xious to aid him in perjuring his neck
out of the moose
1t is getting to the point where coun-
try towns and rural communities are
vitality interested in the suppression
of this devils horde.
Even the most stagnant of water
will eventually find its level and as the
cities become overcrowded with GRIM
mails it is inevitable that many of
them will branch out into the smaller
communities in search of fresh prey.
The outlook is not conducive to that
sound and refreshing sleep which
country people enjoy.

MAKING BODY

The new Congress, which met April
18th and has been in session since that
date, is known as the sixty-seventh
The first one was assembled in the
spring Of 1889 when our new govern
ment, with George Washington as
president, was just getting under way.
That was one hundred and thirty-two
years ago this spring; and since each
Congress lasts two years, there have
been just sixty-six since, from which
it follows that the present one is the
sixty seventh in order.

SAVING
EUROPE"

An English nobleman voices the o.
pinion that it is up to England to
"save Europe"
Encouraging words. We hope they
develop into something more than
noise.
For long time now it has been The
custom for foreign statesmen to
dwell eloquently and tearfully upon
the Sacred duty Of America that
of rehabilitating broken down coun-
tries on the other side of the Atlantic.
They have preached this doctrine in
season and out, have fed it to us in
Idriblets and by the wholesale, and nave
even resorted to thinly yelled threats
of appalling disasters to occur if we
don't "come across.
The idea of perpetual meal ticket
| from America was too god for them to
let go. Apparently it was Accordingly
fascinating that no one even thought
of going to work again, as we did over
| here.
But we fear they will eventually
have to go out and grub for themsel-
yes. 1t may be new experience for
some of them, but grubbing makes red
blood and stimulates brain power. It
also helps to fill empty stomachs.
Still, if England feels it her duty tc
"save Europe" she has our gracious
permission.
We might even say "amen, go to il"

Many centuries ago a man was on
trial charged with a serious crime.
Knowing his guilt, a crooked lawyer
conceived the idea of bribing witness
es to swear that he was in another
place when the crime was committed.
Since then fictitious alibis have O.
pened jail doors and freed guilty GRIM
inals until today it is becoming almost
impossible to convict one who has the
backing of gangland.
