LORD NoRTHCLIFFE.

1t can be said of Alfred Harms worth, known to the world in his later years as Lord Northcliffe, that he made himself one of the most influential men Of his time in England through the chain of newspapers which he owned. That influence was felt most unmistaA- ably through the troublous war years and 1t is generally credited to Lord Northcliffe that his was the voice that awoke Great Britain to the real serious ness of the struggle and the inadequate means that the nation was taking To meet 1t. He was a man who feared no foes and asked no favors. When he criticised Lord Kitchener. who was En- glands popular military idol, he startled the British public. but he aroused the government and people to a realizing sense of the peril of the nation and he Is credited to a large degree with being the influence that brought about the formation of the coalition ministry, the creation of the ministry of munitions with Lord George at it's head, and the adoption of compulsory service for Eng land and Scotland.
 His newspapers were financially Euc- cessful but he used their power much less for money making than for the championing of ideas and definite prin- clples. He was unawed by precedent and authority and the friend of today might be the foe of tomorrow when diff ferences arose between them. He showed on numerous occasions that having made up his own mind what course should be followed in popular affairs, he knew how to crystalline public opinion in its support. for he had the secret of successful appeal to the people His power naturally grew with the evnl increasing circulation of his publication: and it can he said generally that hi eountrymen benefited by his activities especially in view of his wartime ser vices. Now that he is gone it Is doubt tul whether his place will be filled. Mer of great wealth may succeed in giving newspapers great circulations, but tht power that was Northcliffe's depended upon the possession in a very excep tional degree of the ability not only t, understand the emotions and impulse of a great public, but to shape them t his own ideas and to make of them al effective force in the conduct of grea affairs

JUVENILE HONESTY.

Having been a student of tho boy problem for years, Dr. William Byron Eorbush has started a new movement h behalf of juvenile honesty. And the leed for such a movement Is that the home has failed to incuicate this prin- siDie in the children. Dr. Forbush plans to have the public school come to the rescue and he seeks the cooperation of teachers, boards of education and public officials for his programme to make the school the place where hon sSty is taught as well as reading, writ Ing or any other study.
 The plan is to emphasize the impera. live necessity for the child to under. Btand that honesty is the only policy to be followed through life. This would be attained by class room discussions on bonesy. mental exercises, stories and ex- Imples dealing with the subject. Al hiS DT.

cost and he had working with him the president of one of the large surety com panies os New York. What Dr. For bush proposes has been approved by President Harding and by more than 5oBI bank presidents and roo city school su- perintendents. It Is somewhat embar- rassing for the country to admit that such work Is necessary. There has been a decided change from the old eopybook days when the child wrote that "hones- ty is the best polieyS' and believed it Honesty was the rule to which there were few exceptions and, moreover, hon. esty was taught in the home. from the cradle up, The failure of fhe present day parent to meet all the problems pre- scented by newer generations Is throwing additional work on the schools and the courts. It is no unusual thing for courts in handling juvenile cases to ind 1t nee essary to censure the parents more than the child for the misdeeds of the juve- nile delinquent

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN.

Major-General Merritte W. Ireland, surgeon-general of the army, has made public the results of a study of the rec ords of 100000 men who were exam ined for service during the war. He found that the average American is five feet, 7.49 inches high and weighs 141.54 pounds. The tallest men came from Texas, the most robust from the Dako- tas. Kansas had the fewest defectives, Rhode Island had the shortest men and also the most defectives. In some of his findings, Surgeon-General Ireland 5aid: "The percentage of the defective men varied materially according to the section of the United States from which they were drawn. The number of defec- tive men varied by states from 64 per cent. in Rhode Island to 35 per cent in Kansas, Rhode Island, the most urban of all states, whose population is large ly engaged in manufacturing stood at Inc top. largely because of the defective and nonresident stock which has been drawn to this state Kansas, on the other hand. is largely agricultural and such of it's population s- '- oS foreign origin is of the more robust type. The percentage or the native porn In Kansas Is s5 per cent. and in Rhode Island 2s.4 per cent. The French-canadian group had the highest number of defective men. 55 per cent. while that Of the na- live whites of Scotch origin had the smallest. 40 per cent"

THE RAewEEp SEASON.

Now is the season of their discomfort for those whose suffering come with the towering of the ragweed. The hay fever victims bear testimony that is far from mute that this unsightly weed is per- forming strictly according to schedule. Cause and effect between the ragweed and hay fever were not associated for a long time, and it was once thought ., be one of those wonderful and mex plicable facts in pathology that hay fever came to this latitude annually about this time in August. Now 1t is known that if there were no ragweed pollen to be borne upon the winds the snuff1ing and sneezing that are the marks of hay fever would not be expert enced. Just as certainly as a relation between mosquitoes and ysllow fever has been found, the relation between the ragweed and hay fever has been es- tablished.
 To take hay fever out of the calendar the simple remedy would seem to be to get the ragweed out of the fields. But herein lies the difficulty. The unwanted plant thrives along roadsjdes and on un- cared for land, where 1t is nobodys business to uproot 1t, although it would be to everybody's interest to have !t pulled up, stock and branch. Landewn- CTS who permit the weed to grow mighi be penalized just as they would be fol other sanitary evils which ,endsnger the health of a community. Town and municipal authorities might spend money in worse ways than in abating the rag week nuisance along neglected strips ot roadside, but, meanwhile, any public 1 spirited citizen can do his part to ses that his own yard or vacant lot is noi contributor to the hay fever misery.

Why Only Potter9

Mir Editor: Our neighbors in surroun- ing towns have expessed their opinions on the cider case in Jewett City, and so far have only mentioned one per son as a law-breaker. We in this sec tion would like to know why the name of J. Totten and Herbert Haywood (ustice of the peace), have not been tn- eluded. as they have made themselves a party in the same case by claiming the cider or part of it and are also liable to conviction by the law.
 We would like to have Mir. Totten give truthful answer as to whom he sold his apples last year and the year before.
 We would also like to have someone (preferably one of the jury men, or all of them would be better), go to the tiny place of Mir. Haywood and report on the number of apple trees he has, and how many apples he would be liable to obtain from them.
 The old saying is, Birds of a feather flock together" We are awaiting with in- terest the judgment of the case in re- gard to all three men who claim illegal goods as theirs. But We would ask a few questions that we think the prose cutting attorney might have asked
 What business had Potter to sell cider that belonged to his two friends?
 Did they share in the profits?
 If the cider was theirs what was il doing in I9otter's celiaf? How could they legally remove it to theirs? If he made cider last fall for them, why wasn't it given to them then? Mir. Potter has sold cider for a good many years and now is the first time VI hear of any of it belonging to anyone else.
 Perhaps the very obliging jury car accommodate the other citizens as wei as these three men and answer thes questions, for it was on their true foun, 1 CD evidence that verdict was given Il | favor of the three men. So far none of the six jurymen hav | mustered enough courage to write any thing in their behalf. We all say it wa "some" jury.
 It is a mighty good thing for the lav abiding citizens that we have fedora authorities to step in. It gives us l feeling of protection that the six jury men let slip. Why can't honest me be honest all the time. and why can 1 dishonest men clear out of a neighboI 1 hood and live their lives by themselve: If a man didn't sell he'd never ge caught at 1t.

anything to mock 1t borders upon a sacrilege. It Is a pity that the par ties in the mockery of which your paper told did not set the photograph going, visit the movies. or dance the one-step, any sort of amusement, rather than the kind which they chose for entertainment. I feel sure that every refined woman, no matter of what denomination. felt dis gust at reading that account-for such cheap, not to say coarse style of even ing wit and humor would never gain the approval of any womanly woman. It came at very ill-chosen time. too. on the eve of the Feast of the Assumption. when the Catholic church was stressing the model woman of all Catholics. pattern of holy and chaste daughters. wives and

THE PRESIDENTS WORE.

While most people look hopefully for ward to the vacation that is to come or remember with more or less satis- faction the vacation that is gone, word comes from Washington that President ting a vacation this summer. He had none last sumne- ~-S always been in touch with his duties on the short trips he has taken ------ from Washington while he has been in oface. The routine duties of his office are great even in ordinary times, but this summer the demands upon his time and atten- ton have been more than ever. Con- gress has been in session almost all the time, the senate has been 6awdling along, and the disturbed industrial sit uation has called for his watchfulness and attention. His word and advice may be asked at any minute to influence a settlement one way or another.
 The president of the United States probably exercises more power on his own authority than any other man in the world and this country has been criticised by foreigners for asking more from it's president than any man can hope to give. The experience of several able presidents, who went into office strong, alert and hopeful and came put four or eight years later broken in body and spirit, tends to confirm this view, in spite of the fact that men do meas ure up to the job and do survive its trials In such exigeneies as now con front the president, when his every word is> examined with care by millions who expect to profit by his leadership. some allowance may be made for the perplexities of the office and for ths limits of human endurance when con. fronted by the necessity for taking some action which. whatever 1t is, will start new disputes and cali for more de- cisions of equal importance.

STRENGTH OF SUNLIGHT

It is said that at a depth of only 200 fathoms the light of the uncloud- ed sun penetrating the ocean is re- duced to equality with the starlight of clear night on the surface. At more profound depths the sunlight is entirely extinguished Yet there are both light and color in the ablysses, and at the bottom of the sea. The light is of phosphorescent origin and it may be remarked that in general the fixed marine forms of life are not behind their free swimming allies in light emitting powers. There are illumina- tions produced by the movements of abyssal fishes through the forests of phosphorescent and seapens, fan corals red corals and other Alcyonaria. The colors of deep-sea animals are both brilliant and varied Christian Sci- ence Monitor.
