Temperament and religion dis
tinguish Bavaria from Prussia
About three-fourths of its popula-
ton. upward of seven million, are
Roman Catholics. Its people have
a reputation for good nature n a
special fondness Tor beer for easy
going ways and love OF tradition, for
exalting art, rather than science.
$50 far as they were compelled to-
ward commerce, n writer puts it,
they dealt in the two things they
like best art and beer. To this easy
generalization should be added the
toy making industry which arose in
the forest areas of northern Bavaria
and from it should be excepted the
optical instruments for which Mu-
Mich was noted. Before the war
both these products found ready
markets in America.
Long Held S~eparatist Idea
"There are pollllcal reasons, also,
why the Bavarian viewpoint and
that of Prussia are enough opposed
TO hold the possibility of cleavage
in this time of Germans stress.
Along with the so-eailed middle
states of Wurtemberg and Baden,
Bavaria early achieved constitu-
tional government. The birth of the
constitutional form dates back to
Napoleonic times. So rapid was the
expansion of Bavaria then that con-
stitutional bonds were needed to
bind new territory. Feudalism was
sw ept away. Mobiles and clergy had
privileges curtailed. Military solid
arity demanded that each nan be
made conscious of his duty to the
state, and in concession to that me-
cessity each man had to be granted
certain equal rights before h law.
Prussia's ambitions toward confed-
Grafton demanded an antitdote In
the form of privileges which would
keep Bavarians anxious to maintain
their independence.

FRESH LARD FROM LIVE PIGS
OBTAINED BY SURGERY

Surgery has hurdled over the
ancient formula. FIRST kill your
pig" and solved an important food
problem: that of obtaining fresh
lard from live porkers.
A German farmer at Schleiche-
grieben is the first to carve Jumps
Of fat off swine without sacrificing
the animals. This is how it is done:
After the four-footed patient has
been fattened up. a veterinary sur
geon applies a local an~aesthet!e-
an injection of novocain-to the
parts about to be sliced up.
This injection is said to make the
flesh of the pig insensible TO the
knife. An incision is made on the
back and on the abdomen, a layer
Of a is cut out and the skin then
sewn up.
Before the operation the pig is
strapped to a table and after the
slicing is done. he is bandaged up
TO rush healing of the parts operated
on.
Each pig, the farmer estimates,
can be operated on three times a
year.

WASTE

For every s~eventy-six pounds of coal actually convert
ed into mechanical energy, ~ffty-one pounds get in the ash
pit. 446 pounds go up the chimney as smoke and gases,
says the Geological Survey.
The greatest field for inventions and wealth is in the
elimination of waste. We get very little of the real strength
share.
So far, it hasn't bothered us much, our natural re-
sources are so tremendous. When we near the vanishing
point, attention will be turned to waste, ways found to pre-
vent it. Pity it cannot come sooner, to preserve resources
for future generations.

KY Daily Poem
~REW/NDERL

Once on a time, not long ago,
Our land was thrilled with high
romance;
Our soldiers marched to meet the
foe
And save the world; the soil of
France
With blood of Yankee lads was wet,
Shed in the nus they battled for,
1t is so easy to forget
Once on a time we had a war!
The sacrificial spirit died
And while the world cried out for
aid
We held aloof, we stood aside
Talking OF stocks and bonds and
trade;
Mammon resumed his ancient thrall
We showed no seeming to abhor,
And only vaguely we recall
'Once upon a time we had a war!"
Shall all our dreams be swept away
Upon a tide of rich swirled.
Are we content to be today
The welcher-nation of the world ?
By s~elishness Rome's empire fell;
Is money all were living for?
Lord, help us to remember well
Once on a time we had a war!

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The call
for the great disarmament confer
ence seemed to grow out or the
Borah naval disarmament resolution.
Borah called for a conference for
the purpose of agreeing on a stop
page of naval construction.
This looked like an easier thing
than an agreement Tor any general
disarmament. Poland and the e
European states may not want to
reduce their armies, while Russia is
in her present state of enmity to all
the rest OF civilization, while Bull
garia is awaiting an opportunity for
revenge on her neighbors, While
Hungary is flirting with the Haps-
burgs; and France is insane with
fear of q recovered Germany. In
this fear Poland joins.
Borah said nothing about the set
Element of the Pacific problems as
a condition precedent to disarma-
ment. Harding and his advisers,
wisely or unwisely chose to take up
the whole matter of reducing armies
as we'll as navies. -
They chose to say to the world In
effect, 1--WE are building u navy
because there are questions In tne
Pacific which may lead to war. we
shall not disarm until those ques-
tons are settled"
The Harder Way
This was q tremendous decision
TO take the harder way.
That it is harder to effect genera
disarmament than naval disarma'
ment only Is plain.
II Great Britain, japan and the
limited States can agree on putting
down the burden of great nav1es
the thing will be Accomplishment, fol
these are the only nations whlcf
count for much in sea power.
AS for us, the stoppage or MAYA
building would bring all the rene
we can expect from disarmament
for we have cut our army down te

ROOSEVELT

A diary, written by Theodore Roosevelt during the
Spanish American War, is published. What impressed 7. R.
most, during the battles, was the delay, stupidity and mis-
management back home in the War Department. "They ex-
press us stuff we don't need, and send the rifles by slow
freight"
Many an officer and buck private made the same COM
ments during the World War. George Washington probably
did, too.
The trouble with onlcialdom is human nature. That
never changes. One generations problems are about the

Many folk who abhor Germany's
