MYSTERIOUS FORCE

Up north, in Canada's cold lakes, the salmon trout are
spawning. Observe the cunning Of mysterious Mother Nature:
A typical salmon trout lake is Portage Lake, mile and a
half long, half a mile wide, $50 feet deep. It's the crater OF an
extinct volcano.
Salmon trout are deep-water fish, usually caught by
trolling with a copper line at least 100 feet down. Water at
that depth is as cold as the breath of some European diplo-
mats. ~
Salmon eggs, Of course, would not hatch in ice water.
So, to get the salmon nearer the surface and make them spawn
in warmer shallow waters, Nature about this time of year
grows trout lce'' or barnacles along their sides.
These barnacles are yellow, about a half inch long, shaped
like a man with the two fists glued to the salmons side.
To scrape off these barnacles, the salmon swims up on the
shoals where it can rub against gravel. As it rubs, the eggs
are laid.
A very simple plan this, for making salmon trout spawn
in the warmer waters of shadows.
After the eggs are laid, mother salmon returns to deep
water. Pa remains behind, near the eggs. Nature In some
unknown. way makes him irritable. He attacks every fish
that comes near.
By satisfying his desire to fight, he protects the eggs until
they hatch.
This arrangement goes on, year after year, automatically,
like the rising and setting Of the sun. f.
Old Mother Nature, who stages the salmon spawning, Is
eouailv cunning in her regulation of every other form Of life,
including human life.
Sometimes men Individually or by groups or by nations
exert themselves almost to exhaustion to accomplish a GER
tain thing, and fail completely. That bewllders them. 1t
should not, for the failure merely indicates that the goal was
not in natures scheme of things.
Most evils result from restricting natural processes. we
cannot cheat nature. Life would run more smoothly it men
yer learned their lesson instead Of trying, over and over
again. to accomplish the ends that nature clearly informs us
she will not stand Tor. ,,
This applies to personal acts, to economies, to politics and
to diplomacy.

Don't Get Hurt"

The bald warning Don't Get
Hurt stares us in the face every
where. 1t emphasizes the part the
individual can play in preventing ac-
cidents in which he is most interest
ed, accidents to himself.
The pedestrian in a hurry to cross
the street will see the sign approach
ing him on an automobile. His in
stinctive response will be to draw
back to safety and not get hurt.
One good viewpoint in the safety
campaign is that of the specula-
tor or gambler. w ut are the
chances? Is it a good bet?
Going ahead into the danger lone
may mean a certain advantage in
catching a a or train, in getting
work done quio ly, personal con-
venience or enjoyment. But 1t in
wolves a chance, say enc in ten thou
sand.
Getting hurt may mean loss of an
eye or a leg, or arm, or prolonged
suffering. The wise speculator
knows he wouldn't have that happen
for anything"
That is another way of saying
that any chance is too great to risk
the dangerous curse. Ten thou
sand times the possible advantage
from the dangerous course would
not balance the account. The race
with danger is a poor bet even if we
win it time after time.
Don't get Hurt" Consider the
chances before going into danger

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple)

Unlucky
This month has a Friday the lSth.
Few weddings on that day. Journeys
will be postponed. Many hard head
ed business men, otherwise not su-
perstitious, will withhold important
deals until Saturday, the 14th. A
long way to go yet, to drive supersui-
ton out Of a mans brain.
Uncertain, how the dread of Fri
day the 18th started. Mohammedans
believe that Adam was created on
Friday, which makes the day logi-
cally the beginning of all human
trouble.
The wise will keep eyes open Fri
day the 18th, knowing that-witn
most people timid-it is the best day

What Other Papers
Say
WOMEN IN THE ELECTION

WOhEN IN ALE EllEClloN
There are many indications that
the political contest in our state this
year will be one of the most inter-
esting that has ever excited its peo-
Pile. An unusual condition of u
political struggles was, in fact, N
evidence during the organization of
parties for work in the nominating
primaries and the selection of lead
ers for the decisive battle of next
month.
This unusual condition was the
appearance of a force in both parties
that. although it has had an OPP.
p%ortunity to show it's strength sew
era! times since it was invested with
the right to be a factor to be reckon
ed with, has only evinced its real
potency in the presidential campaign
of 1920. In that great battle the
women voters in every state. al
though they did not show a strong
desire to participate in the manage
ment of the great political parties,
did. at least. use the suffrage with
astonishing effect. 1t the polls. by
nearly doubling the nations eiectof-
ate.
But this year, in all phases of the
campaign that have thus far deyei-
oped, a disposition has been shown
by these new voters to demand an
important and influential place not
Only in the fighting ranks but among
the leaders selected to head the ar
mics, and that they be allowed TO
share the spells of victory.
This desire was strongly in evil
dence in every county in our state
in the preliminary contests for mem
berskip in the state and county COM
mittees of both parties, and the re-
markedly large number of women
who secured such recognition. These
surface indications point to some
thing like a general rally of New
Jersey women at the polls next
month. The uncertainty as to how
this vote will affect the results of
TIE election makes it unusually diff
cult for party managers to forecast
the outcome. There are several is
sues in the rival platforms in which
women are likely to be specially m
terested. which may decide on which
side the victory will rest, and may,
perhaps. be a surprise to everybody.
