EDWARD Douglas White, chief
Justice of the United States Su.
preme Court, died May 10Th,
aged 76. He was elevated to the
chief Justiceship by President
Taft, and it would now be a
coincidence if President Harding
would appoint Mr.. Taft to sue,
coed him. True, Mr.. Taft is ga
years old, but his appointment
would certainly strengthen public
confidence in the fairness of our
highest tribunal. Many things
have befallen Mr.. Taft during
the past several years, some of
them OF such a nature that had
there been a streak of unfairness
or pettiness in his nature it would
inevitably have come out. But
Mr.. Taft has come through a
trying career with a steadily in
creasing reputation as one of our
fairest men. He is even-temper-
ed, safe and courageoug, and the

like to see him placed at the
head Of the worlds greatest tri-
bunal.

IT took tive years. to fight the
world war. 1t was some fight.
At the present rate of speed it
will take twenty-five years to
adjust the difficulties growing
out of that war.
1t may even become necessary
to fight another war, with an en-.
tirely different lineup of nations.
Do not make the mistake OF
thinking that we have seen the

if it is even seriously considered
by the men who really control
the affairs of Europe.
There was never more diversi-
fed bitterness and jealousy than
there sin Europe today. Trust
and confidence are unknown.
Suspicion and hatred are every
where.
The powerful allies are exas.
perated at the procrastination of
Germany. They can not even
come to a lasting agreement
among themselves.
In the meantime some of the

Much Iron in Philippines.

The finest unworked iron fields in
the world have been discovered in the
Philippines, according to a report froan
government experts recently received
by the United States bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, says the
Washington Post. The quantities of
ore adjacent to good harbors, they
state, will be sufficient 70 assure the
future iron and steel production in the
United States for generations Already
land believed to contain more than
100000 600 tons has been surveyed. De-
posits on the island of Mindanao are
believed to be without a rival They
contain 275000,00O tons close to good
harbors and 130OO0,OO0 tons within
easy transportation distance of Dajkin
bay, perhaps the best natural harbor
on the islands. Only crude iron work
in primitive smeters Is being carried
on at present.

Pumice Should Make Us Bright.

Pumice is formed by the solidifica-
ton of the foam produced on molten
lava by the escape of gases. The in
side makeup of high-grade pumice is
cellular and the specific gravity of the
stone is so low that dry pumice floats
in water. The known deposits on dry
land are not considerable, although
the stone is scattered over large areas
of the worlds ocean bed.
italian pumice Is the highest grade
known to the trade. The volcanic is
land of Lapri lying off the north coast
Of Sicily about 40 miles from the Ital-
ian mainland, is the seat of the indus
try.
Pumice is used chiefly by automo-
bile and carriage manufacturers, mar
BILE workers, photographers, platers and
manufacturers of patent leather and
enamel. Crushed 10 powder, it is used
for securing and polishing. Shipments
amounting to S.S000 600 pounds of
pumice were made to the United
States in the six months from January
to June, 1920, by one firm in Lipari.

AT first thought there seems to be
no relation between wooden shoes and
automobiles. But one never can tell
these days. Wooden shoes play an
important part in auto building; in
deed they probably reduce the cost of
autos by six and three-tenths cents
each-if figured out by an efficiency
expert.
AT first the auto companies provided
high rubber boots for the men who did
the work; but they soon found. saws
the Scientific American Monthly. that
soap and rubber did not agree. and
that the bill for rubber boots was
quite an item. And when the war
came on, and the price of rubber
scared indeed it became quite an.
palling.
SO some bright young man got n lot
OF wooden sabots-brought from Hol-
land or somewhere for actors-and
tried them out. The workmen stuffed
paper tightly in around their feet and
encircled their legs with pieces of old
sllckers and found that the result was
very satisfactory when worn with the
usual apron.

CHOSE POOR PLACE TO REST
Traveller in Spain Not Fully Aware as
to Just What Uses Beds Were
Sometimes Put.

An American tells Of a visit he once
made to the town of Yuste, in the
northwestern corner of Spain. He
had sought rest under discOuraging
circumstances, after a ride on mule
back over miles of dusty road While
the hostess of the inn was preparing
his dinner he proposed to himself to
rest upon the bed in the public room.
Nothing could, he says, have been
more tempting than that cool white
bed, after his laborious trip, and with
out saying a word to the Sonora Pa
reno, he threw himself at full length
upon it.
Scarcely had he done so when a
Shrek arose, and the little woman
flew at him like a wild creature. She
seized him and dragged him off the
bed with the strength of two men.
He was too much dazed to resist, but
retre8ted before her.
"Oh, Dios milo, Dios Mol" she
shouted "They are ruined-ruined %
WhereupOn she tore back the cover of
the bed and to the travellers amaze
ment disclosed row after row of bis
cults! They had been placed there
to rise TO rise! Down the center
Of the rows his weight had f1attened

farthest edge had a few escaped.

have divorced him.
Then she married Count Stanislaw
Felix potocka, one of the wealthest
noblemen Of Europe, a Pole of great
influence but Slight ability, who is re-
garded rs traitor who did much to
bring ruin to Poland. The countess

her beauty created a furore in the
ranks Of society. She died there in
1872
Count PotoCka was the Rockefeller

and enormous estates. possessing in
the Ukraine alone no less than 1900
600 acres. When he became of age he
married secretly very attractive

ment was divulged there were terrible

his young WIFE berated and stunned,
finally threw herself into a pond to es-
cape her prosecutors.
