The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1922-11-16

One of the most important
considerations in any manufact-
uring industry is the production
of stable material which will not
change j n quality before t
reaches the consumer. The manu-
facturer of gasoline, the refiner
of crude petroleum, is handicapp-
ed in this respect by the varying
nature of his raw material, but
as far as it is commercially
practicable, he has endeavored
to improve his product. and in
most cases he has been eminent
" successful. It sometimes hap
mems. however, that gasoline
that is apparently normal when
first made, will in time deposit
small quantities of gummy SUBJ
stance. Details of an investiga-
tion undertaken for the purpose
of obtaining information on these
g11ms and Indicating how their
formation might be prevented is
owen in serial 1894, "Gum-for-
ming constituents in gasoline"
which has just been issued by
t h e United States Bureau Of
Mines.

Finer Race of Men

! Women must choose between
! absolute independence with its
/ responsibilities, and the chivalr-
! Gus attentions and privileges be-
| longing to the dependent
! woman Of by-gone days-accord-
ing to a recent ultimatum laid
down by an eminent woman edu-
Gator, Mrs. Anna CARRIER Spencer.
Mrs. Spencer is a minister, So
cial and reform worker and con-
frmed suffragist. Her lectures
on the New Responsibilities Of
Women delivered at Columbia
University have caused consider
able stir throughout the East,
and the trend Of her argument is
having the careful scrutiny of
both men and women.
Mrs. Spencer points out that
it is only recently that women
have had any real freedom of
choice j marriage. Now her
economic independence gives her
the opportunity, when a man asks
her to marry him, to take into
consideration the question wheth-
er she likes the man we'll enough
to give up her economic indepen-
dence for the sake of living with
him; and the result is an attempt
on the part of some women to
do two things at once that are
often Incompatible" She en-
phasizes the fact that although
generous hearted, unselhsh, low
ing men or women, will do their
utmost to make their marriage
tie a success, women can no more
be held to intolerable conditions
in marriage than men.
The fact that the number of
marriages has decreased with the
onward march of women's free
dom is due, says Mrs. Spencer,
to a First reaction to the new
economic opportunities" but that
those of us who come rather
close to women in many ways
knows that this new opportunity
h as pushed too many women
away from marriage and that
they know it when the time
arrives; that the home seems
more important than it did at
irst and that the young life that
belongs to the home seems dear
n than all other companionships.'
Nov, "says Mrs. Spencer"
women being economically al
most free, are again to a large

Marking Historical Sites.

The Illinois Department OF Public
Works and Buildings has just an.
bounced the final decision of the State
Historical Society upon the location
OF La SALES Fort Creveceur, per-
haps the most important post estab-
lished by this famous French ex-
plorer within the present limits Of
the United States. II was very gen
orally accepted that this fort, from
which Father HENNEPIN started on
his explorations and which was the
scene OF the mutiny against LA
SALES chief lieutenant, HENRI DE
ToNTY, and q center OF the most dis
astrous Of the white mans early wars
with the Iroquois, was on the banks
OF the Illinois River. But was IL on
the site of the present Peoria or on
the opposite bank Of the river?
After twenty years struggle with the
question the historical society def
nitely located it's site on bluff across
the river from Peoria. The spot has
been so marked by the State, and fif-
teen acres OF land surrounding the
site has been turned into a park.

cellent example of the thoroughness

The Name Hollywood.

Some of the citizens of Hollywood,
Illinois, are talking about changing
the name of that little suburb of Chi.

suffer because of the notoriety won
by the California Hollywood.
The sensitive neighbors of Chicago
are wrong. Names do not make
places. The State of New York has
two villages named Sodom, but their
denizens tread the paths of virtue
unafraid. Babylon, Long Island, is
never conscious OF its namesake's S
reputation. Neither Pompeii in Mich.

Women Are Warned.
Ruined Compilations the Result of
Too Much Beautlfying.

To THE NEW York HERALD: wish
to give warning that the elderly, middle
aged and young women who use cos
metics are likely later in life to md
themselves with compilations too horri-
BILE to gaze upon owing to the deleteri-
Gus effect of the use Of makeup.
My warning for the discontinuance Of
the use of cosmetics will be brought
home forcibly to anybody who will take
the trouble to look upon the faces of
the women encountered in any crowd (;
the observer will find ruined complex
ions on every hand.
Nature will not be trihed with. The
human being has been provided with
pores through which the impurities of
the body are exuded. and 1t stands to
reason that when the pores Of the face
are sealed up by cosmetics and other
agencies of a similar kind nature will
rebel with the result perhaps of ruined,
incurable complexion. NATURAL

Federal Game Law Enforced.

That the Government is in earnest
about enforcing the provisions of the
migratory bird treaty act has been
shown in different parts OF the coun-
try. but there are individuals who
still transgress the regulations de.
spite the severe penalties inflicted in
the Federal courts.
IL is only a short time since resi-.
dent OF New Jersey was fined 5000
for killing wild geese out Of season.
Another violator Of the law in the
Carolinas was punished with a heavy
fine and a Jail sentence. Evidently
some folks in the Middle West failed
to read the newspapers which re.
corded the convictions in the East,
for an Illinois man attempted to sell
ducks out of season. He shipped
them without marking the packages
as required by law and used an
assumed name. The result for him
has been a fine Of $3.50 and a sentence
of ninety days in jail, imposed by a

cal Survey OF the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture secured the

Residents of Illinois may have fine
sport on their rivers during the mi
gratory period in the fall and so-e
large bags are made. SportsGen of
Chicago and other centers or popula-
tion have clubs on some OF these
waters and the members of these or
ganizations have been in hearty ac-
cord with the Federal policy which
did away with spring shooting.

ing their lesson more slowly.
A few convictions like that at
Springfield will convince everybody
that the migratory bird treaty act is
not to be violated with impunity.

all the Illinois histories, both trans
lations from the French and orig

from the archives of the French Gov
ernment were finally discovered in
Paris, and these determined beyond

high bluff overlooking the Illinois

The charge which is sometimes
made tina lmericans have no rever-

with greater accuracy and with a
more consistent regard for historic
facts than is the field of Gettysburg.
The incidents preceding and during
the battles of Bunker Hill, Lexington
and Concord are so carefully marked
that these historically important Rev

Vacationless Colleges.

tages for the Older Students.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The no
vacation plan would be advantageous
in the case of the older students at coll
lege while IL would be detrimental to
the boys and girls attending the gram
mar and high schools.
vacationless grammar or high
school would impair the health of the
pupils. Boys and girls attend these
schools while they are passing through
the age OF physical development. If
their minds are overtaxed their normal
physical development Will be retarded.
Then again the constant mental strain
would have tendency to make the
boys and girls dull.

system. which has already been adopted
by some of the leading colleges, the reg

Lifts up above the rosy hills after the

Before the whirring wheels of day their
music have begun.
And youth crowds at the eastern gate.
with Joyous feet and free,
Eager to take the morning road with
its uncertainty.
Nor asks advice OF graybeards-sages

by which he came.
And II upon its beetling cliffs he failed

The Liberty Calendar.

Representative THOMAS ID. ScHALL
OF Minnesota is dissatisfied with the
Gregorian calendar. He proposes to
substitute for 1t one OF his own spon-
sorship. To that end he has intro
duced in the lower house what Is en-
titled the Liberty calendar bill. In
stead of a year OF twelve months he
would have one of thirteen months
The newcomer in the family of
months he would call Vern, because
it would be associated with the ver-
nal equinox.
Further specifications of his plan
provide that each month shall have
twenty-eight days. This leaves one
day unaccounted for on our hands
every year except leap year, when
February's twenty-nine days would
give another extra day unattached to
any month. Mr.. ScHALL would make
the extra day of leap year day
apart. 1t would be called Leap Year
Day and be a national holiday. not
at the end Of February, but between
the last day of June and the first day
Of July. Thus every four years we
should have holiday only four days
before Independence Day.
New Years is a holiday anyway
and Mr.. ScHALL would so leave it,
but he would not count 1t in any
month. The first of January in his
calendar would be the day after New
Years. Another change he advocates
is TO make Monday and not Sunday
the first day OF the week. Enact
ments restricting Sunday activities
generally define the day OF rest as
"the first day OF the week, commonly
called Sunday" II is conceivable
that with Sunday transposed from
the first to the last day of the week
under the Schall calendar this exist
ing legal definition might involve
complications.
Objections far more serious than
this are suggested. How to arrange
for acceptance OF the new calendar
by the civilized world is one of them.
Mr. SoHArL recognizes this. lie
would not have his calendar go into
effect until 1928. This would give
the world six years in which to catch
up with the procession. 1t is time
allowance that cannot be regarded
as excessive. It took England and
her colonies 40 years, from 1852 TO
1852, to adopt the Gregorian calen.
