That old query OF "Who Won the
War" is rapidly giving place in the
minds of many people to another
query far more disturbing: Who
Lost the War;" So far few there
be who will admit that any one OF
the Allies really lost and yet, from
the things we read and hear, we are
almost convinced that none Of them
won what they were striving for.
Was the war won on the bloody
fields of Europe at sacrifice OF men
and goods, simply staggering in its
immensity, only to be lost in Con-
crosses and Parlaments, in confer
ences and endless chickering's of dip
lomats?
One thing seems to be growing more
and more into our minds today and
that is the discouraging feeling that
very little can be expected of the
present generations OF European cit
izenship in the way Of settling of old
grudges. and hatreds, and jealouse3,
and fears, that will put the world
forward, toward that goal for which
the American forces fought; the end
of Wars.
As in the days of wars darkest
hour. the Belgium Relief Commits
sion seem to be the one bright ray
of light that seems to forecast bet
ter day; so today the only ray of hope
that seems to give any promise, is
that of the Child Feeding fund now
in the course of collecting in the Uni
ted States to feed the starving in
the devastated morases Of Europe,
WHY?
Does not our greatest hope for the
future if not our ONLY hope, lie in
dealing with those who are to make
or mar the future of Europe? If the
world is to go toward any peaceful
goal, these starving waits of the war
must be fed, and taught, and cared
for. else this war has been fought
in vain and your sacrifices have been
for naught as well as the infinitely
greater sacrifices of all that desolate
foreign land
We must pay now or we must pay
later. Let us thank God we have the
chance now, help to put through the
greatest thing America ever did.

Wood Carving With Sand.

a process OF carving wood by spe-
cial application of the sand blast is
giving highly satisfactory results in
California, especially when applied TO
the redwood Of that state. Portions
of the surface are covered by protec-
tive stencils which leave figures in re-
lief and uniform background. Very
rich effects are produced in panelng

ROAD
BUILDING
DURABILITY OF ROADS VARY
Classification Of Passenger and Freight
Highways Is Predicted by
Chairman Diehl.

Freight roads and passenger roads
are probabilities of the comparative
ly near future in congested sections
Of the country according 10 Chairman
George c. Diehl of the A A. \. good
roads board, who has sent a communi-
cation to this effect to the Office of
the chief of engineers Of the War de-
partment. Mr.. Diehl thus comments
ON the up-to-date highways problem:
There will never be time when
all roads are of equal durability and
carrying capacity. Highways and
railroads are analogous, In that they
are both designed to carry traffic, and
general rules which have been devel-
oped through scientific management
of railroads apply as well almost in
variably TO highways. The heaviest
locomotives and rolling stock are car
ried on roads like the New York Cen
tral and Pennsylvania and Union Pa
cifc. Their use over lighter con-
structed railroads would ruin the
roads in comparatively brief period
There must come a classification
OF highways. Over class l the heav-
lest mOtortrucks and tYailers would
be permitted; each truck should have
large figures conspicuously placed on
the sides TO Indicate the total weight
that it was permitted to carry; oper-
ators and owners of trucks should he
prosecuted for using the heaviest
trucks on roads designed for lighter
traffic. 1t would be comparatively
simple to enforce such provisions, as
there seems to be no defense of the
proposition permitting one or two
heavy trucks to ruin an investment
of many thousand dollars on the
lighter constructed highways.
''At the road intersection the high
way capacity could be indicated, as
the highway department should, | be
lieve, have n traffic department under
chief traffic engineer, having to do,
not with construction and mante-
nance but merely with the control OF
traffic. 1t is extremely likely that 1t
would result ultimately in n system
Of freight roads and passenger roads,
and that wider and parallel roads
would result ultimately in a system
of freight rouds and passenger roads.

GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said to Be Assured for the
Worlds Greatest Scourge, ths
Plague of Leprosy.

The news from Hawaii indicates
that science has at last found the sure
and systematic way to the cure of this
worlds most appalling disease OF tie
l42 former leperS Who have been pa
rolled from the Kalihi hospital in The
last two years none has been sent
back.
1t is peculiar that the plague which
has troubled the world at least sixty
centuries. and probably much longer,
should eventually be controlled by one
of the oldest remedies ever used for
It. To modern science is due the dis
covery Of the bacillus of leprosy, but
IT'S cure is accomplished with refined
chauimoogra Oil, the essence of an In.
dian plum, which has been used by
lepers in the East for centuries.
Science has Improved on native prac-
tice not only in the oil but in it's appli-
cation.
To a world which has 100000 lep-
ers the success of the doctors at
Kalili is heartenlng. China, when bet
ter days come, can set about the cure
of her 100000 stricken. India has
100000 lepers, Japan 10000. And the
United States has had a big leper prob
lem which the developments in Hawaii
should soon solve. While the cases Of
leprosy in the continental United
States are few-psrhaps not 30&-we
have thousands of fepers in our island
possessions, particularly the Philip.
pines. Now that the way is clear our
medical service can go ahead there as
u has proceeded in Hawaii.

Origin OF Freemasonry Unknown.
The society Of Free Masons ante
dates all other societies by centuries.
Its origin is so ancient that the place
and time Of its birth are unknown.
Its legend say that 1t was organized
at the building of the temple of Solo
mon, but this is not accepted with
much credence. BY some writer's Its
origin has been ascribed to the
Qruids, by others to the Knights
Templar and to Pythagoras, and 1t
