FORTESCUE

An English historian named For
tescue was denied the privilege OF
speaking before West Point cadets
recently because of an unfriendly
remark he made about us some ten
years ago. Secretary of War Weeks
heard OF it and asked the English
man to cancel his appointment. Mr..
Fortescues' disparaging remark,
Iade back in 1910, was provoked, h.
slid, by unsportsmanlike acts on the
part OF certain Americans. Mr..
Fortescue now regrets the incident,
he says, believing that he was un'
justfide in judging the nation by a
few individuals.
Secretary Weeks would have don,
better to let Fortescue go ahead and
speak to the Cadets. II, in doing
this, the war secretary had let For.
tcscue know that we remembered
the military historians unfriendly
remarks, it would have been a very
convincing proof OF our sportsman-
shi1.

STYLES TO ORDER

NJ. Dior, the French minister Of
commerce recently called together
the great Paris dressmakers and
urged them to elaborate their styles.
Ribbons, laces and embroideries, he
said, were industries which needed
support. NJ. Dior complained that
the simple lines OF the present
styles are ruinous to these indus
tries. He urged them to be more
elaborate.
Ii Eugene were to return to
France today wearing a crinoline,
we suppose from this, she would be
hailed as a patriot. and the patron
eSs OF certain towns in Picardy and
Flanders.
We wonder il the French COM
merce minister's novel plan for the
salvation OF certain industries could
not be profitably adopted in this
country. For instance, when there
is an over-supply OF cowhides
Brockton could put us in iach
boots.

OF THE DAY
MISS ALICE INSULTED

Congresslady Alice of oklahoma and
heretofore more particularly of Musko-
gee, isn't coming back to her restau.
rant in that city. She's coming back to
Muskogee, but only for the purpose of
getting her spare trunk, and possibly
an old bird cage or two. Then she is
going to shake the dust of Musllogee
from her French heels, or Congress gai.

wear, and leave the people of Muskogee

to Washington for another two years.
Miss Alice thinks she has been "in-
suited by the citizenship of the city"
for which she has sacrificed and worked
so long. II was "a pure business propo
stion OF sending me back to congress"
she told the Associated Press man, and
then, as IL to show how she regarded
pure business proposition she remark

she didn't want to run and they made
her do IT, Despite the violence then done
to her wishes, she put up with the dis
courtesy Of her fellow-citizens. but this
year she wanted to run and they didn't
want her to. and two insults in two
years are two much for any congress

the reporter that there We're lots OF

OF rain will be transformed into
electricity.
He says the power going 10
waste in rain can be estimated by
locality's inches of annual rain
fall and the distance the rain drops
in making its eventual way back to
sea-level, Part of this power un-
queStionably could be chained up.
Ford proposes; Collect the wa
ter on flat lands during the winter.
Drain it off as water power during
the spring. And in the summer you
will have wonderfully fertile land
tor your crops. In the autumn,
after the harvest, let the water col
lect again"
This latest dream OF Ford's re.
suits from a trip he made the other
day into a coal mine. He went
about three miles underground and
found it "a terrible place to be in;
no fit place for a human being to
work."
More than half million Ameri-
cans toll underground to get coal.
In other words, to get power.
Meantime, tremendous power is
going to waste in falling water in
the ocean tides, in the wind, in the
suns heat. All these will be har-
messed some day. Nature has placed
unlimited power at our disposal.
Human drudgery will end when we
learn how to harness these natural
forces.
Harnessing them is a long, slow
job But it'll come. Nature gives
us what we need. Her price is con-
slant toll and patience. End Of the
road is far off, but it'll be worth
the journey, for humanity.

REAL DEMON

What is it, in your life, that you
fear or dread most? And how
much effect is this fear or dread
having on your health, fortunes,
state OF mind and general happi-
ness2
Along this line, you will be in
terested in peculiar case that has
been perpleXing the Workmen's
Compensation Commission OF New
York state.
In a hat factory some OF the em-
ployes got mercurial poisoning from
handling dyes. One OF the workers
who became i'll and had to hunt
another job asked the commission
for money to cover the loss OF sew
eral weeks pay.
A medical specialist, testifying at
the hearing, says that this particu-
lar employees illness was due to fear,
not to poisoning, That is, seeing
his fellow-workers become i'll, he
grew afraid that he also might get
poisoned, and worried himself into
ncurosis, nervous condition ia
which the patient often imagines
that he has a physical illness-ia
this case, poisoning.
Fear, under various terrifying sci.
entific names, in the last few year,
SINCE the war ended, has become q
common disease. Wherever a grouL
OF physicians get together they be
gin talking about this pandemic OF
rervous apprehension.
Doctors offices are crowded with
peoplc-fearing that their hearts are
about to stob beating, that they are
on the verge OF a nervous break
down, that an annoying acid con-
dition OF the stomach may be
stealthily advancing cancer.
Probably three-iourths OF these
maladies are imaginary. They are
fortunately, making people realize
the minds vast power over tn,
body, Tor good or bad.
Basil Kings book, The Conquest
OF Fear" suggests that most oi the
worlds troubles these days are due
10 the demon. FEAR.
There is not government
which is not afraid OF some other
government. There is not a gov
eminent which is not afraid OF ia
own people. There is not a people
which is not afraid OF It's own gov

THOUSANDS Of
DUCKS HUNGER
Steps Taken to Feed
Wild Fowls on Snake
River.

Thousands of ducks on Snake river
are facing starvation. Snow on the
stubble fields and ice on the river
edges prevent feeding at normal
sources of food supply. Word to this
effect was brought to Caldwell
Wednesday by c. M. Van der Venter.
Immediate steps were taken, to feed
the birds, the Commercial club coop
, Grating with the state game depart
nent to supply wheat.
According to Mr.. Van der Venter,
one farmer in the Riverside district
early this week opened up straw
stack. While thus engaged several
hundred ducks, attracted by the un-
covered straw alighted on and near the
stack. Extreme hunger had killed all
sense of fear from man.
Farmers near the river who visited
Caldwell this week were pressed into
service to take wheat out and distrib-
ute it at places where ducks can feed
upon it. The state game department
supplied the grain and the Commercial
club, under the direction of R. T.
HURT, secretary, supervised its dis
tribution.
For some time. similar efforts have
been made to feed quail. Satisfactory
results are reported.
Snow that completely covers the
feelings grounds has lain so long that
birds are experiencing unusual diff
Guilty in obtaining sufficient food. Not
only is this source of supply closed to
ducks, but ice, trimming the river, has
compelled them to feed in the current
where little food can be recovered.
