It pays to be a plumber in these days of high waes but it would pay even better if one could be the kind of a plumber H. B. Warner imper- sonates in his latest and most capti- vating role in "Uncharter Channels, ' a Jesse D. Hampton production re- leased through Robertson-C Cole.
 The picture, which will be the prin- cipal attraction at the Empress The ater on Saturday only shows the "Chesterfield of the screen" not only at work as a plumber but dressed in the lowly garb of that now regal parsonage.
 But overhalls and jumper cannot hide this stars consummate art. As Timothy Webb, 2nd, made penniless through his wealthy fathers cratic will, MT. Warner dons the working mans uniform and as result runs into a combination of exciting cir cumstances which go to make "Un- chartered Channels'' one, of the most appealing pictures of Warmers ca reer
 The story deals with the great big problem of the day-labor unrest There is a delightful love story and much humor in the picture which may be safely termed a comedy drama

'Some psychologists, he says,
would have US carry around a jugfui
of carbolic acid or other germicide to
wash our lips before kissing. They
forget that heat is the greatest anti
septic known, and that the heat gen
Grated by a kiss destroys the suppos-
ed germ.
among sweethearts, kissing sends
forth ethereal and hypnotic waves
travelling with great velocity, cleo
trifying and rejuvenating every cell
structure of the body, so that next to
love itself it becomes the most po-
tent agency for courage, optimism
hope, health and longevity"
Hurrah for Katzoff! He's human
Perhaps he even enjoys kissing! Al
any rate, he would not rob us of one
of our greatest delights.
Kiss up, and keep kissing!

TOO MUCH

How much do you know?
How do you know that you know it :?
Hold did you gain your knowledge :?
Most of what we are supposed to
know today we learned from others,
and they in their turn from. still 9TH
ers, and so on down to the dawn of
man.
In the beginning some one had to
make the discovery, and others have
elaborated upon it, and because their
research and inventive brains were
superior to ours we accept their judg-
men as final.
But how do we know that they were
not at fault?
How do we know but what many of
our supposed facts are mere falla-
cies?
IF these few words have raised a
doubt in your mind, how are you
going to learn the truth?
Go to it! Your brain needs exercise,
anyway.

cartridge form is the safest, most
powerful, and in other respects the
best explosive known to science for
the use of farmers in clearing lands
of stumps, in drainage work, etc., ac-
cording to information from Washing
ton, D. c.
As result of these reports farm
ers of the country will this fall save
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
the clearing of their farm lands of
stunlps, etc, through the use of picric
acid which the United States Bureau
of Roads is about to distribute with
out cost to the farmers, except for
charge of six cents per pound for
drying and cartridging expense, in
addition to the cost of transportation.
The farmers of the country may OBJ
tain this picric acid in cartridge form,
free, under a law passed by Congress
providing for it's distribution, through
any State Agricultural College or any
Agricultural State Extension Service.
Regarding the use, safety and gem
eral characteristics of picric acid in
cartridge form, DIR. Munroe explains
in his reports that picric acid is
stable explosive and, when compared
with other explosives, is not sensitive
to friction, to impact, to shock, or to
ignition. He adds that when compar-
ed to the majority of explosives it
may be regarded as quite safe.
DR.. Munroe is the man who conceiv-
ed the idea of salvaging the millions
and millions of dollars worth of ex-
plosives left over from the war He
| is chairman of the explosive committee
of the National Research Council; the
chief explosive chemist of the U. S.
Bureau of Mines, and is the consulting
explosive expert of the War and Navy
Departments.
1t is explained by Dr. Munroe in
his reports that in the use of picric
acid for blasting purposes, it should
be charged into bored holes, primed,
tamped, and stemmed in the approved
manner customarily followed in the
use of cartridges of high explosives,
special care being taken in charging
wet holes not to tear or to break the
cartridge case or wrapper while load
ing the cartridge into the hole or
while tamping it, for water rapidly
reduces the sensitiveness of picric
acid to defamation.
There is now approximately 5,O00,-
900 pounds of this acid to be distribut-
ed and farmers desiring toobtain an
amount necessary to clear their lands
are urged to ascertain the methods of
distribution as outlined by the gov
eminent from any State Agricultural
College or any Agricultural State Ex-
tension Service. AS this acid, for
Western distribution, is located at
Fort Wingate, N. Mexico, and for
Eastern distribution, at Edgewood Ar
senal, Maryland, the cost of transpor-
tation should be very little.
Picric acid is classed among the SAT-
est of explosives, while at the same
time being powerful and for these
reasons, if for no other, is ideal for
blasting purposes. Also, it has ad-
vantages over commercial explosives,
among them being that it keeps in
definitely and is not affected by heat
or cold.

PAYING
THE PIPER

Some men dabble in politics and are
known as politicians That is no COM
pliment.
Others engage in constructive legis-
lation. They are statesmen, and the
term is credit to them.
We need fewer of the former, of
whom there are enormously too many.
There is crying need of the lat
ter, who are lamnetably few.
Any novice can lay one brick on top
of another, but it requires an expert
enced mason to construct wall that
will stand.
We are careful in the selection of
the men who build the houses in which
we live, but Indifferent as to the cali
bre of those who enact the laws I'M
der which we are governed.
We pay the political piper, whether
we dance or not.

We have strikes and suspensions of
business, it is true. But we have
plenty of money, plenty to eat and
wear, and present indications are that
we will have plenty of heat this win

most valuable in the world.
In the old world they also have
strikes and suspensions of business,
or no business at all And they have
internal troubles, and food is scarce

worthless.
No, not so bad. Therefore, cheer

oi uouDtiui eHcacyi While eStab-
fishing more lenient terms, as regards
further mora forum before begin
ming interest payments, would only
leave the question where it is, contin-
uing the potential burden and its UNI
certainties.
Remove Uncertainty.
1t is desirable, therefore, from a
purely business point of view, that
this uncertainty about what may be
the ultimate actual demand on Euro
pean national treasures should be
removed at the earliest possible mo-
ment. 1t has been suggested that
this can be done under present cir
cumstances only by cancellation of
certain inter- governmental debts by
all the creditor governments, leaving
comparatively small part of the
PREPARATIONS debt and few of the less
er obligations covering transactions
indirectly connected with the war.
Such a course would, under any con-
ditions, have it's drawbacks, and it
would be quite useless, if it were
pursued without obtaining sufficient
guarantees and substantial evidence
that the debtor governments of Eu-
rope would stop further initiation OF
their currencies and floating debts re-
sulting from expenditures in excess OF
revenues and would undertake either
to debate their finances or, better, to
inaugurate a program of public i'm
provements destined to build up their
industry and trade. This latter policy
would involve less hardships than
defstion, and would place the debtor
countries in far better position to
carry the burden of their internal OBJ
legations, the floating parts of which
could be funded from time to time and
SO gradually accomplish the stabiliza-
ton of financial and economic condi-
tions.
There would really be little use in
the remission Of the debts due to us
unless we would have some assurance
that their remission would be accom-
panied by lasting financial reforms in
Europe. Europe has been waiting for
some sign of our willingness to deal
leniently in the matter, and we have
been waiting for evidence of Europ-
can accord upon reasonable and
possible solution of the PREPARATIONS
questions and European financial sta
bility. Power to act in this mat.
ter and to initiate and ratify a policy
on our behalf, however, is vested ir
Congress, and at the present there is
no disposition on the part of Congress
to consider the REMISSION of these
obligations. Probably time and econ
omic necessity will accomplish more
than the statesmen can do. In the
meanwhile, the uncertainty will be
fully discounted as we come to under
stand It better.

As usual, apples have been rotting
on the ground in Michigan and other
states because the growers could not
secure a price for them sufficient to
pay the cost of marketing. At the
same time consumers in the cities
have been paying fancy prices or do
ing without.
And still, spectators blandly dis
claim any thought of profteering.
And that reminds US. Have you
ever noticed how a specializing prof
teer will squeeze every penny possible
out of an article that he handles and
then weep because there is no more
blood to be sucked?
And have you noticed how that same
profteer will rage over the prices of
things that he has to buy for his own
use?
What kind of duck would you call
him, anyway?

Now that the children are back in
school again, what are we doing to
encourage them? Or are we doing
anything at all.
Possibly the children, irresponsible
in their youth, do not expect anything
from us, but that does not excuse us
in the least
They are entitled to our moral and
spoken encoura cement in their efforts
to secure an education that will fit
them for successful stations in life.
A few years hence they will be able
to understand what we do or do not
do to aid them today.
viii they consider that we did, or
that we didn't?
