THE editor OF Science and
u Invention, while praising
the idea as clever. thinks Il i'm
practical because Of the high
cost of manufacturing the ice.
But the idea may be a viable
one none the less. Nature ar
ranges plant kaves so that they
drain dew and rain directly to
the root, where alone II can be
of service. Man should be able
to improve on nature here as IN
so many other directions.
The difference between a des-
ert and a beautiful garden is
often only a matter Of varying
rainfall; and in arid regions
there is a premium upon every
drop of water. The ice bullet
machine may not work econorn.
ically, but IL will set inventors
thinking. and IL is by Intending
the mind" as we know from the
experience OF Newton himself,
that great discoveries are made.

And here and there its gardens merge with

THE boys and girls Of Blantry are ruddy.
L faced and gay,
And there is room a-plenty and always
time for play:
And there are maids in Blantry with magic
And mus music in, in their laughter and danger in

They give each other greeting at meeting.

And June has heard sweet whispers at every

THE sparkling water splashes beside the

And here and there in Blantry there is a

For there are vines in BIantry, as well as
apple trees.

Subsidy Bill
Is First Need
THE Ship Subsidy Bill will be the
business of the special session
= of Congress which has Just

of Congress which has just
convened.
= Never has any issue been more per-
sistently befogged by misrepresenta-
tion and propaganda, to the interest
of the great foreign shipping lines
which will retain their monopoly of
our overseas trade if we lose this
golden opportunity to establish an
American merchant marine.
Yet the ship subsidy issue is in
reality very simple one.
The Government during the war
spent about four billion dollars for
ships, ships and yet more ships"
The Government now owns 1,400
steel steamers, about half of them
first-class vessels. .........
Through the Shipping Board the
Government is operating 400 of these
steamers, and the Board is losing
$50,000,000 per year in its opera
tions. Moreover, the Board is build
ing no new vessels, and scarcely
keeping the old ones in repair.
The ship subsidy is designed to
induce private Americans to buy and
run the Shipping Board vessels. .. 1t
will get the Shipping Board out of
business. The amount paid to
American ship operators will equal
ize the higher wages they have to
pay to American crews.
The subsidy will be far less than
losses which the Shipping Board
.Jw sustains. Payments the first
year will amount to $15, 100000
sd ying of $35, 600, 900 annually to the
Government.
The ship subsidy will enable the
Government to recover part of the
billions it put in ships. Without the
subsidy they must be sold abroad
for nominal rates, or scrapped.
The subsidy will put an American
merchant marine on the seas at last.

The art world was recently in
terested in her announcement that
she had quit the opera to devote
herself to concert work.
In this the diva displayed rare
sound sense.
She quit at the summit of her
career, at the time when she was
the chief drawing card at the Met
ropolitan Opera House, and at the
top crest of public favor.
Not the least part of under
standing how to round out one s
career consists in knowing when
to stop.
Lincoln s great place in history
was made secure by his death at
the successful close of the war.
If Theodore Roosevelt had died
during his last African hunting
expedition, it would have added
greatly to his fame.
1t seems somewhat a cruel and
sinister thing !, speculate after
this fashion, yet those who gamble
in the great market of public favor
should, if they care for the perma-
nent rewards of fame, learn the
trick of withdrawing at the right

The Middle Glasses

THE most despised group in any
nation is the middle group.
i The middle classes are ex-
plotted by the conservative upper
classes, and detested by the radical
lower classes.
They are the most solid and val
liable element in any nation, yet
.the intelligentsia mocks at them
and everybody pokes fun at their
decent, conventional manners and
customs.
Only once in a millennium do they
organize against their exploiters
and tormentors.
In Italy today they have so or
ganized under the title of the Fas-
cisti, and after show of strength.
they have seized the helm of State.
Their well-being, their good for
tune, is the well-being and good
fortune of the country, any coun-
try whatever.
Lloyd George said the other day
and his speech is translatable
into any language with peculiar
application to the needs of any na-
tion:
I'VE are all concerned in the
well-being of this country, and
we must see that the extremists
on one side and the other will
not rock the boat that carries the
fortunes of the country through
the surf. They say extremes
meet, but if the boat is upset
and capsized the extremists on
the right and the left will meet
at the bottom, and we must see
that the country is not carried
with them"
