MOVING GLACIERS.

A dispatch from Berne reporSs much
anxiety among the people of the high
er mountain districts of the Alps be
cause of the steady advance of some
of the great glaciers which threaten
destruction.
1t is stated that the Allalin glacier,
descending from the Allalinhorn, a
mountain 10000 feet high, has ad-
yanced more than 40 yards in the last
eighteen months and is now moving
a. an unusual rate 1t has already
blocked a pass by which travellers
reached an adjacent valley. The gla-
cier covers nearly four acres and is
IL 900 feet in height.
The greatest cause for alarm among
the inhabitants is that If this mighty
glacier advances much more it will
block the outlet of the Mattmark lake
and cause 1t to overflow. Engineers
are planning how best to avert such q
dIsa ster.
other glaciers are also advancing
and are under scientific observation

BELATED PRAISE FOR j.. b.

Alcohol has a few good qualities,
after all; SO ii would seem from the
protest against prescription restric-
tions Sent to the holy of holies in
Washington by the American Thera-
peutic socety, an organization of
learned physicians who are concerned
chiefly with the study of preventive
medicines. The resolution commend
ing the benefieent qualities of John
Barleysorn is said to have shocked the
nervous system of Angel Volstead,
who broods with sad righteousness
over the house judiciary committee
and directs the ward-and-onward
course of prohibition Legislation.
John Barleycorn doubtless will ac-
knowledge with ghostly gratitude this
pcsthumous tribute TO his better na-
ture. but the learned doctors who went
on record in his favor do not seem to
realize that it is much better for
man to die of sugar in his blood than
for him TO live by the grace of satan.

MIR. WEEKS FAKE ARGUMENT

Secretary Weeks advanced the fake
argument of all opponents of disarm-
ament when he said in his ADDRESS at
New York University yesterday:
Under present conditions 1t would
be the height of folly for the United
States 10 be the first to disarm. IL
must be done simultaneously. Pru-
dence would not permit disarmament
while others hold weapons in their
hands.
There is no serious proposal from
any quarter for the United States TO
disarm alone. The most important
suggestion is embodied in the Borah
amendment to the Naval Appropria-
ton Bill which provides for a confer
ence between the United States. Great
Britain and Japan with the view OF
agreeing TO a naval holiday for nve
years. The substitute resolution
which the White House is backing
provides for q conference In respect
TO land and sea forces. Neither OF
them remotely suggests that the
United States disarm alone.
Secretary Weeks had great deal
10 say about proposals that have not
been made and are not before Con-
gress. but he said nothing at all about
proposals which would at least com
nit the~legislative branch of this Gov
ernment to the limitation of Armament
by international agreement.-New

JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest

THE BUSINESS MAN
AND THE BOY
A very angry business man
Discharged a boy the other day.
Because" said he. he seems to be
Too slow TO do the work my way.
I've told him twice what / expect
OF office boys who work for me.
And how to walk and how to talk
And how TO greet men courteousiy,
I've told him just the way TO stand
And what TO do and what to say,
But he persists and he insists
In blundering from day to day.
Il cannot stand dulI-witted brains
That will not grasp what is ex-
planned;
The man or boy that / employ
Must very readily be trained
It was a golf professional
Who tried to teach this business man
Just how to turn his wrists and learn
To hit the ball as golfers can.
He told him forty times and more
The way to hold and throw his club;
In simple speech. the art he'd teach,
But still the man remained dub.
Though he'd explained a thousand
times
The club must pass from left to
right
To make the swing a graceful thing,
The man would slug with all his
might.
Day after day he would return
Unto the teacher, sad and sore,
And ask of him In manner grim
To tell him what he'd told before.
And though he knew what he would
say,
And knew the way his wrists must
turn,
Once more in vain the prod explain,
Once more the man would fail to
learn.
Oh, busy business men. when you
Grow vexed with boys whose wits
arc slow.
Tell them again, remembering then
How dull you seem unto the pro.

Depend upon Rear Admiral William

when Taft was President. Sims made
his blood is thicker than water
speech in England, and almost caused
an international complication. Some
Of the other nations wanted to know
If Sims was speaking for the Presi-

During the Sims Daniels contro-

tain facts which were given him in
confidence. In doing 50 he violated
i sacred custom among gentlemen. but
he also revealed the fact that during
war time the Navy Department felt
that be might let the English pull
the wool over his eyes, because OF
his love for that country.
Then a week ago he took occasion
ia London Of course. TO beIittle the
American navy's part in the war, and
70 register his objection to prohibi-
ton. He aould have complimented
ths British navy without disparaging
that OF the United States, and GER
tainiy he was not justified in ridi-
culing our laws while on foreign soil.
But the wires were hardly cooled
after carrying that statement before
he broke out again.This time it is

But he goes a little too far, in his

Every Evening is neither for or
