Why Drag in the War?
(New York Times.)

(New York Times.)
 Literary critics are put it account for some modern writing It is irregular despses trad tons and rules revels in the obscure and the horrible What is the explanation of it all? It must be 'psychological, the nquirers and the review CTS and lecturers the younger generation must have gone through profound mental change to have lowered into and fiction and criticism of the sort it seems love. One English writer traces it all to the After four years of hell in the trenches, prettiness is expunged from the vo- cabulary The young who has shared in brutalizng war, either physically or through the imagination, does not desire to produce cloying love poems. He chooses to write in which "the lines jostle and bark like the snap of a Lewis gun. He will be harsh and bitter and angular the life in the mud and blood of the battlefields.
 This is fetching, but not wholly convincing. The daring experiments of young writers did not begin with the war and will not end with it. The thoughts of youth long are also usually upsetting and revolutionary. Each oncoming generation must take it's hack at the tough old world. Wordsworth and Colerdge rash innovators in their day our modern free and easy versifers New tags and formulas are invented and then all literature and are reclassifed accordingly Freaksh painters begin to talk cubism and poets quickly fall into the argon Take the following poetic vision of people in the subway
 In ithe air dense with coppery heat
 As through lens that does fit
 The faces jostle into cubes, see,
 And take strange soIidty
 It certainly is not necessary to drag in the war in order to explain current tendencies in literature They vary endlessly species in the vegetable and animal kingdoms. The only profound psychological change needful to account for them is that is as old as man though constantly renewd-that of the growing boy moving about in world not realized

PEOPLE REACT QUICKLY.

One of the hopeful things in connection With the present situation in the world is the readiness with which the people whole react to changing conditions and suggestions which meet the approval of their awakened conscience. At times that may presnt the appearance of vacaton, but that is not true It is d fruit of the tendency of the age cooperation made by the intra- dependence of persons and peoples.
 A little while ago the people recognized the dan gers from constantly increasing prices and costs or wing and doing business. The suggestion put forth that the people refrain from buying. They res bonded quickly to the suggestion, and within short time shortage of labor supply transferred into unemployed men and women.
 Now the people being urged to buy-not ex- or beyond means for payment but to buy what is needed if has the money with which to pay for it. It is pointed out that every garment that is purchased, every building that is erected, every Improvement that is made which consumes product of labor the lessening of the unemployed lists and hastens improved business conditions.
 Already signs of improvement in conditions be cause of this propaganda are becoming visible.

PROPOSED INCOME TAX CHANGES.

That the new tax measure will remove the sur-ta and make the income the same percentage of a incomes and to have the change apply to 1921 is the word that comes from Washington While it is expected that opposition to the plan will develop Senator Penrose in a statement recently made de clared:
 There seems to be growing impression
 that the committee will favor this plan
 There is further impression that the people
 were promised it should be done It is re-
 garded a settled pledge. An effort will be
 made to pass this feature of the Revenue
 Bill.
 Newspaper correspondents admit that it may b., impossible to get the Senate to to the pete elimination of the sur-tax but it is generally conceded that there will be at least marked reduc- ton in it.
 similar situation confronts the Senate to the excess prOAts tax. It is the purpose at least, duce that, and many Senators believe that it should be completely removed.

DRINKING A GLASS OF HOT WATER IS "A SPLENDID HABIT.
Cleanse and Sweeten the System each morning and wash away
 poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning.

 The action of limestone phos- phate and hot water on an empty stomach Is wonderfully invigorat- ing. It cleans out all the sour fer mentations, gases, waste and acid ity and gives one a splendid appe tite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs very little at the drug store, but is enough to make anyone who is both cred with biliousness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism an enthusiast on internal sanitation

The Oil Men in Mexico.

No such goods new concerning Mexico has come Tout for a long time the announcement that the principal heads of virtually all the American oil in terests are about to visit Mexico City for round table discussion of the entire unhappy controversy with the Obregon Government Business men in crit cisng the tortuous ways of diplomacy have so reg- larly emphasized the results that can be attained by opponents getting together for a heart to-h art talk that it is for these representative business men to make good thedr censure or more be silent.

Auntie. thinking that he might be able to persuade her on this occasion, secretly informed him of the affair, and then when Ruth came into the room mentioned the fact that she wished her niece to have her hair hobbed, He took the cue, and immediately told of how thick it made hair to have it bobbed.

iEhicago.-Leaders of the Big Four brotherhoods and affiliated, unions said they had little doubt that the railway employees have voted a gen. eral strike rather than accept wage reduction. but announced that the conservative advice of the leaders might prevent a walk out.
 General chairmen of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen began counting the 1S6. .000 strike ballots of their men, but admitted before the first envelope was opened that, judg- ing from the known temper of the men. the result will be overwhelm- ingly in favor of strike. Vice Presi- dent James Murdock said;
 Our past experience has been that 9S per cent of the men will always vote to strike"
 Officials of the Brotherhood of Lo- comOtive Engineers, Order of Railway Conductors, Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Bremen and Enginemen and Switchmen's Union of North America will meet here to count the strike votes of their 259,000 members.
 Railroad union leaders here expect all the brotherhoods and the switch mems union to cast large majorities for strike. The affiliated sshop crafts already have voted. by approx imately 325, ,O00 to 4S.000. to walk out. and are waiting only to see what ac- tion the other unions will take and for the United States Railroad Labor Board to dispose of the pending work ing rules agreements.

WAX MUST FIRST BE HEATED
Impossible to Get Light From Wax Candle Without the Presence of
 Necessary Gases.

A wax candle really is q gas torch. You will find that when you apply a lighted match to the wick of a candle it will not light readily. You have to hold the match to the wick until the wick burns sufficiently to heat the wax hot enough to turn it into gases which on mixing with the oxygen in the air produce the fire in the form of light
 The candle will continue to be lighted end to burn as long as the wax continues hot enough to give off the gases or until the candle is cn- tirely consumed. Any interruption to this process of transforming the wax into gas will result In the extinguish- ing of the light.
 The reason the candle goes out when you blow on the flame is that the gases which feed the flame at the end of the wick are blown away. the process of turning the hot wax into gas is interrupted and with the gas supply shut off the flame is ex- nguished,-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
