AN ANSWER TO EDISON,

Thomas Edison and his l06 questions have been
drawing the fire of coegans with regularity in
the past few weeks. Mr.. Edison was quoted as
having said that the college student was "amaz-
ingly ignorant" The charge is probably true; who
is wise?
There is an old story of king who wanted all
the wisdom of the world accumulated at one spot.
When the books and maps had been piled high, he
commanded the learned of the kingdom to
condense all knowledge of which they were sure
into one volume. When that had been done, he
commanded that the volume be condensed to a
page, that page into single sentence and finally
ordered that the sentence be expressed in a word.
The word was perhaps"
Knowledge seems to be constantly changing.
The geography of Europe is altered. Einstein
threatens to uproot the theories of ancient schol-
ars. Edison himself has helped to transform the
knowledge" of yesterday into the discarded fall
lacies" of today.
The ability to do things stin remains para
mount. Edison himself realized this A "vag" in

Amazingly ignorant" DO employers still desire

Orleans Their replies are an answer to Edison and
should be of interest to those young people who

affirmative, in the negative and four were

A GREAT JURIST PASSES.

In the death OF Chief Justice White, the United
States has lost one of its most brilliant figures
STEPPED in the lore Of the civil law especially
as Incorporated in the Code Napoleon as well as
in the common law, which prevails in most of the
states of the union, Mr.. White of a
group of Louisiana lawyers who have shed luster
the profession in the Pelican state.
Thirty years ago the late chief justice became
a national figure during a senatorial contest in
his home state, in which he eventually trumphed,
Three years later he appointed associate
justice of the highest tribunal of the land, and
eleven years ago was elevated to the chief JUS
tceship
As a profound legal reasoner he had no mas
ter in America. AS citizen his record was en-
Viable.

A GLORIOUS RECORD.

The American Red Cross is forty years old
today.
In this two-scOre years, the organization has
done more to alleviate human suffering than any
single phanthrOpic agency. Its name is known all
the world that of a worker in the cause
of mercy
Where hunger poverty and dirt are, there
the Red Cross is, doing its utmost to feed shelter
and cleanse. Where pain is, there the Red Cross is
seeking as ever to assuage the agonies caused by
''man's inhumany to man."
There is no support within the gift of the
people of the United States that should be with
held from the American Red Cross

Tom walked with Vivian.

me. Il rather be with you. After

Chronic Constipation.

This condition rs usually brought
on by neglect. Neglect to drink as
much water as a healthy person
requires, which is three pints each
day. Neglect to take enough ex-
ercise to keep the body in a healthy
condition. Neglect to establish a.
regular habit of having the bowels
move once each day, whether there
is an inclination or not. 1t is OBJ
vious, that to cure chronic consti-
patton, you must first correct your
habits. Chamberlain's Tablets are
excellent but will not cure you per-
manently, when these neglects are
persisted in. Begin now. Get well
and stay we'll.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE RAILROAD WAGE REDUCTIONS
(From the Kansas City Starr


The decision of the railroad labor board in the
cases involving appeals of certain classes of work
against wage reductions is inevitable recog-
milton of the fact that the former wage schedules
fixed by the board too high under the condi-
tons prevailing.
This fact as been long apparent. The railroads
have been operating at loss. This condition could
not continue, Of course, without in time react
ing on labor itself, for it would ultimately mean
the wipng out of the investment. Reasonable wage
reductions, which may make possible proportion
ate rate reductions therefore in the interest
not of the railroad alone, but of everybody. 1t is
part of the process of readjustment that is going
everywhere.
temporary condition during the war and i'm
mediatey after probably justified the wage sched-
ules now to be revised. In effect they meant that
the people of the United States absorbed the losses
imposed on the roads. That condition is ended.
Under private ownership the roads cannot absorb
their losses without destruction of the publics
investment in them, and the losses cannot be
offset by the continual increase of rates. for that
il destructive of business.
Nobody. enjoys having his pay reduced But in
this case there was no other way out. In the long
run there will be more money in the pay envelope
at the end of the week when conditions get back
to normal and industries running full time
with lower wages than there be when high
prices putting the CLAMPS industry and men
are working three days week.

Mrs. G. A.: what is one to do
when the children of friends come
to visit, and breaks ones own chill
dren's toys? Is there anything
within the realm Of politeness that
can be said to forestaIl this rough
ness and destruction ?"
Answer: Why don't you use the
new rotation of toys ideasas an ex-
cuse for putting away the most
breakable toys your children pos
sess, when such visitors come
This new idea, which mothers are
using more and more, is that some
of the ehildren'S toys should be
put away consecutively until the
children have almost forgotten
about them; in this way, toys seem
new to the child when brought
out again, and it saves the parent
buying others.
When You expect your visitors,
put away all but the hardest toys.
And explain that all the other toys
have been put away for a time, ac-
cording to a new idea, so that they
viii seem new a LITTLE later. You
can say you are trying out" this
idea.

New York, May 20.-Deprecia-
ton of quoted values in the stock
market made further substantial
progress today. Reactions encom-
passed a majority of the popular
issues, the only exceptions being a
few specialties protected by bull
pools.
The same discouraging factors
which served as restraining in
fluences in the preceding days of
the week We're operative again.
Chief among these We're the con-
tinued tightness of money rates
and additional dividend suspen-
.sions.
In the latter class were included
Chesapeake e Ohio railway and
American Linseed common, The
first named incident seemed to oc-
casion much surprise, the stock
making an extreme decline of six
points on heavy offerings.
Among observers of transporta-
ton conditions. however, the ac-
ton of the Chesapeake directors
was regarded as altogether logical,
having been foreshadowed by yes
terdays deferment of the Hooking
Valley railway dividend
Rails as a group lost one to
three points and oils of the better
class yielded as much with more
severe losses in obscure issues and
steels. Equipments, motors and
utilities were lower by one to four
points, with a varied assortment of
miscellaneous stocks, minimum
prices being registered in the active
dealings Of the last hour. Sales,
100000 shares.
Brokers reported more than the
usual demand for call money, all
of which was placed at Z per cent
on the exchange, but in the open
market this quotation was shaded
to 6 u per cent. Long time loans
and merchants paper held at Ga
to Z per cent. save for prime col
lateral and names. Exchange on
London, Paris and other important
centers eased slightly from recent
levels.
Junior bonds of the various rail-
roads suffered q setback with
Chesapeake & Ohio convertible 5s.
and fractions also lost ground. Lib
erty issues closed at nominal gains,
but most of the foreign war flota-
lions showed further irregularity.

where rs % and more of the fruit
trdes in orchards wera killed by
meadow mice this fall in Idaho, and
in one large orchard near Nampa the
loss amounted to 100000. Their
attacks on trees are usually made in
the fall and in winter under cover
of snow, but may occur at any sea-
son under shelter of dry litter or
growing vegetation. They usually
begin work soon after the green
vegetation has been killed by frost.
The injury to trees and shrubs
consists in the destruction of the
bark just at the surface of the
