At the moment the Great Lakes figure in the
situation with a new cause for international
complexities The immense volumes Of intox-
icants that come across the boundary waters
from Canada long ago caused prohibition ex-
ponents to urge the government to establish a
fresh water fleet similar to the one on salt
water to intercept the rum-runners, but the
federal government perhaps with longer
memory than was brought to bear elsewhere
on the matter, was singularly unresponsive.
Accordingly the state of Michigan, which has
land constabulary force Of rangers largely oc-
cupied with bootleggers, decided to go the state
of Texas and the Canadian northwest one bet
ter by organizing a force of water rangers. 1t
is building fleet of eight craft, but so far has
placed but two or three in commission. They
are fast boats armed with rifles and small
machine guns.
However, under the first naval holiday
agreement ever entered into in modern times
each government is limited to one armed YES
sci on the upper lakes. Revenue cutters have
agreement, but then, the armed character Of
lake revenue cutters was hardly worth con-
sidering. These state ranger craft, however,
are fitted out with full regard to the daring
and resourceful and invariably armed enemy
they are to encounter, and in view of all con-
tingents even armor plate for them is suggest
ed Already the matter has been made sub
ject of Interpolation in the dominion parlia-
ment. If rum-raiding craft may violate the
treaty what is to prevent other violations, it
is asked Is one method-though by means
the only method-of rcpeiling rum-runners
more important than agreement under which
peace has been Kept for marc than hundred
! eers" The 81 rit of the treaty apparently
calls for the most scrupulous observance.

How Mary Entered.

That there is such word as fail in the
lexicon Of youth was aptly illustrated in the ex-
perience of Mary B. Brown, the 17-year-o
Irish girl who recently was refused admittance
to the United States because she could not pass
the literacy test Such a barrier couldn't pre-
vail with youthful immigrant who possessed
stamina and brains She did not quit weeping
ly at what seemingly was a serious handicap
but on the contrary, bravely faced the condi-
lions and determined to qualify. Then followed
five weeks of study and concentration, in which
time she learned to read and write enough
English to pass the examining officials. She
is now with her aunt in the east
Mary Browns accomplishment may be
classed as remarkable. for she did in a few
weeks what has taken years for some to ac-
Quire and has been found impossible with 9TH
ers- There were thousands of drafted men in
the American army who could not even speak
English. There was, of course,~a great incen-
tive for little Mary, for the land of promise Law
before her and then, too, relatives were on the
other side of the gate awaiting her But the
Incentive needed brains. and this Irish girl dem
onstrated their possession and also the activity
of her mental equipment 1t would have been

What We Overlook.

B. J. Wilson, a professional Magician, known
the stage Professor Heller, says in let
ter to the Detective Story Magazine: LAS for
the evidence of scientific men, would say that
as a magician and medium 1 dread the eyes OF
the average small boy more than those of the
average scientist. far as the detection Of
PERCEPTION is concerned. And l know, for 1

dren are keen observers because, to them,
everything is fresh and new, hence interesting.
As we become older we observe that life is a
series of repetitions, generally dull frequently
stupid and boresome. We lose interest, and
with it the intellectually valuable power of
close observation. You have noticed how Easy
it is to put something over under the very eyes
of the aged. After the average person reaches
40 his brain cells become set, like concrete.
Vanity convinces the ego or inner self that it
has become fairly familiar with life, that the
routine of existence is comprehended to the last
detail. The individual loses interest stops
observing, becomes set in his ways. 1t is diff
ficult to drive new idea through his head.
Brain cells are closed and locked, instead of
open and receptive. That is the reason why
people of middle age are not quick to see
and grasp opportunities the young fellows
despite their superior ability and background
Aof experience.
Ancient alchemists searched for the uni
versal solvent-fluid that would dissolve any
thing. The search lasted centuries, consumed
an indefinite amount OF energy and time 1t
stopped when an observant young man said
"If you get it what will you have to keep it in p?
When the power of close observation becomes

tunities. Without keen and unlagging sense
of observation success IS elusive or, if already

can be trained into strength. Observation is
the key to success-also the handouts that
prevent youth from slipping away from you.

Rum Running and Treaty.

Because the incongruities and embarrass-
ments caused by the projection OF the eigh-
teenth amendment out beyond the borders OF
the United States have humorous phases it
must not be supposed that they are without
serious possibilities. The idea that it is an
unfriendly act on the part of foreign govern
ments not to prevent territories adjacent to this
country from being used as headquarters for
rum runners is repeatedly being emphasized
and may result in q new conception of inter
national duty. Because of the activities OF ac-
quatic bootleggers it has already been suggest
ed that the old rule about national jurisdiction
ending one marine league from the shore shall
hesaitered to extend jurisdiction over at least
four leagues Of shore waters. The delicate
matter of the presence and use of liquors in
foreign embassies at Washington is potentially
troublesome and liquors on foreign ships in
cur >harbors have already caused complica-
tions, while the question whether liquors may
be used on American ships when out on -ths
ocean Is most pushing.

LAST OF WAISKAS

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich-Peter
Waiska, the last of the Waiskas,
proudest branch of the Chippewa
tribe, is dead.
Waiska, who was rs, carried
with him to his grave the pride of
race that made his forefathers out
standing among the various Indian
bands native to the Great Lakes
district His death was caused by
exposure to the cold, an element
at which he scoffed in former years.
The Waiskas inhabited the region
now known as Bay Mills and the,
Waiska river and bay district in
Chippewa county when the first
white missionaries pushed their
way into the wilderness. The tribe,
with its centuries old pride, looked
with disfavor upon the white man,
who came and cleared the lands,
then broke them with the pillow.
Peter Waiska until the last main
tanned the same feeling of hostiI-
ity, as befitted the final survivor Of
his race. His friends say his mel
ancholy increased year by year as
he saw the forest dwindle and dis
appear and the face of the land
change from a wilderness to a
and farming district.
At 4 O'Clock on the morning of
his last day of life Peter walked
alone far into the country until he
reached the forest. He sat beneath
a tree and meditated upon the fate
that had befallen his people. The
cold finally oyercame him and he
sank into a slumber from which he
did not awaken.

Chalk Talk on Uric Acid.

That which these correspondents
describe is not chalk deposit or
uric acid accumulation but usually
an actual thickening of the struc-
lures of the joint from a low grade
or mild chronic inflammation.
AS everybody knows l have great
awe of age, being especially fearful
of old women, old maids and old
geezers. But I believe l should re-
quire a course of twilight sleep to
give me enough dutch courage to

1t saves much thinking.
One of the correspondents opines
that the drinking water in his part
of the country is a factor of his
trouble, for the water is very hard.
Another thinks it strange that she
should have these heberden's nodes
on her finger joints and maybe an
arthritis future before her, when
she has for years drunk only pure
artesian water Still another asks
whether distilled water isn't better
for one so afflicted.
The hardness of the water or the
softness of the water or the pota-
bility or purity of the water has no
relation to the various joint dis
eases, although it may be true that
one who habitually drinks plenty of
water is less likely to suffer with
such diseases than is one who
drinks very little water. About the
sflliest extravagan I have en-
countered in studying the house
hold sports of the country is the
purchasing of drinking water in
bottles when tap water of unques-
toned portability is right at hand
at no expense at all.

She knew that he had failed, but
somehow, unaccountably, he shrunk
from her knowing that he was pre-
pared to acknowledge it. He must
write this letter himself.
He sat down to tackle it, but
his fingers fumbled, even in Slip
ping in the sheet, and he felt ut
terly bewildered as his eyes again
dropped to the keyboard. If the
letters were only arranged in the
order he had learned them as a kid

nothing in the Office worth stealing.
But had some employe from a
neighboring Office sneaked in here
to enjoy a pocket flask of home

Not because he envied any man
the possession of such a luxury,
but out of sheer curiosity John
Yelling put the tip of his finger
in the tiny pool, then touched it to
his tongue.
