Experts IN many OF the leading industries are
devoting their best effort to the work of simplifying
industrial processes through better tandardization
The waste due to lack of STANDARDIZATION is found
to be appalling. Many different types of machines
are employed to perform the work which any one
OF them would. perform equally well. Each ma
chine has its special type of construction, and its
parts are not interchangeable with those of any 9TH
CT machine. The result is a great increase in over
head expense and a corresponding loss in operating
efficiency.
~ One day last summer a man drove into Grand
Folks in a heavy car which is not carried in stock
IN Grand Forks, and for which no supply of extras
is carried here. A shackle bolt in one of his springs
was broken. He started out to get another one.
He found plenty OF bolts OF approximately the same
Size and shape as the one he desired, plenty which
would carry the weight and perform the service to
be performed, but not one Of them would fit. lie was
obliged to improvise a REPAIR with a b%lacksmith's
bolt Of soft iron and wire 800 miles for the particu-
lar bolt which he wanted. Moreover, in the course
Of his search he found that not only would not one
OF the bolts made for other cars fit his car, but not
one OF them would answer for any but the particu
lar car for which it was made. Among all of them
he found none which possessed any marked super
fiority over any other. One type Of bolt would have
answered equally we'll Tor any of the dozen cars of
similar weight represented.
1t is not to be expected that all machines,
whether automobiles or anything else, shall be made
alike, There are certain individuaAties of design
which have their peculiar points of excellence, and
which satisfy individual tastes. But there is no
good reason why, when a bolt OF given size and GEN
eral form is suitable for use on all cars of given
weight and general construction, there should not
be made standard bolt, and standard place to put
that bolt, for all of them.
The contrary policy, applies, not only to bolts
but to most Of the parts, Of an automobile, and oi
many other machines. The result is that there is
tied up an enormous sum in special designs of bolts
screws, and odds and ends, a complete outfit for
each make OF machine, and the man who uses the
machine, whatever it may be, must pay for. the
waste, in addition to being put to untold jncon-
venience through not being able to make proper re-
pairs on short notice.

NOTHING TO REPORT.

In response to the senate resolution introduced
by Senator Hitchcock asking for information con=
corning the negotiation of the four-power treaty,
President Harding replies in substance that there is
nothing toreport. In a letter to the senate the pres
ldent says that most Of the negotiations were con-
Quoted without maintaining a record and, further, he
holds that it would be incompatible with the public
interest to disclose the confidential negotiations Of
the men who framed the treaties.
All this is not surprising. No other answer
could have been expected. 1t is improbable that any
other answer was expected. Nevertheless, we shall
now hear from time to time mention of the star
chamber" sessions at which treaties involving the
fate Of nations were negotiated in the dark Of the
moon. Thus, we shall be told, have the rights of the
American people been battered away.
Two men appointed to act in a; representative
capacity to bring about a real settlement Of issues
which are involved and complicated do not carry on
their conversations on the street corner. If thew are
to get right down to the, root of the matter they must
get down to a basis where each can understand the
other and where both may have an understanding,
not only of the proposals which are made, but of the
conditions lying back Of those proposals, Why par
ticular proposals are made, and what is expected to
be accomplished by them. They must speak to eacl,
other in terms of confidence. They must express
themselves frankly ON topics the public discussion Of
which would create difficulties rather than remove
them. And when the conversations of that charac-
ter are over 1t is a matter of deccncy and honor that
they be treated as a closed book.
The world has known what was done at the
arms conference. At the outset it was placed in pos
session of the details of the naval proposals present.
ed by Secretary Hughes. It has been informed of
the several steps in the negotiations as those steps
have been taken. 1t has before it the finished work
of the conference, with information as to the princi-
pies and policies underlying its main features. 1t
does not know how far Premier BRAND may have ia
ken Mr.. Hughes into his confidence on the question
of French politics which may have been involved in
the negotiations, nor whether at any time Mr.. Bal
four may have shaken his finger at the Japanese rep
resentative. The public does not know these things
nor can it, with propriety, be informed of them, at
least not in any contemporary discussion.

|haustibility Of the supply. If the, deposits Of nj
|trates are drawn upon indefinitely they must be-
come exhausted in time. no matter how great they
are. Some means must be found Of restoring to the
soil the ,nitrates which are being carried out to sea
or d~issipated into the air, otherwise the world must
starve. y"
The sea and the air may be considered mex
haustive storehouses Of nitrates. The sea yields up
some portion of its treasures iii the form Of the sea
foods which are used BY man, and in the seaweed
which, in some localities, supplies large quantities
OF fertilizer. 1t is quite probable Mat a much wider
use will be found Of the multitude of sea growths
that are not used. 1t may be, too, that methods will
be found of extracting nitrogen directly from sea
water on a commercial basis, though the prospects
in this direction are remote. Il
The air itself has been regarded as the most
field for exploration, and the extraction
OF nitrogen directly from it has been developed into
an important industry. Two processes are used,
the electrical process; which can be used to adj
vantage only where there. IS abundant waterpower
which is not in demand for other purposes, and the
process, which uses power more econon1-
ically. The former is used in Norway, the latter
being preferred elsewhere.
By the extraction Of nitrogen from the air use
is made of a supply which can never be exhausted.
The gas, in its several combinations, is not only es-
sential in agriculture, but is indispensable in the
other industries. 1t is the chief element in explo-
sives, and in one form or other it enters into practi-
cally all Of our industrial work.

ACT sANELY AND KEEP CHEERFUL.

From practically all over the country comes in
forrpatlon that many people are i'll with a lnalady
whose symptoms resemble those of the FLU with
which we became unpleasantly familiar a few years
ago. The general symptoms, rs all remember, are
generally similar to those of a "hard cold" Scientific
people tell us that there is no such thing as a cold,
as. that term has commonly been understood. The
trouble may, and very often does, follow a chill
it may follow exhaustion or anything else that dis
turbs the system, inpairs vitality and Towers resist
|ance. The microscopic organisms which produce
disease. often gain foothold and work havoc in bodies
which are in all respects in normal condition. But
those whose vitality has been lowered fall victims
more quickly and easily.
One trouble with maladies of the "cold'' class
is that usually before the victim realizes it he has
already been affected for hours or days. 1t is too
late to dodge or erect barriers. The enemy is already
within the gates. The problem then is to keep the
patient as comfortable as possible, to guard against
consultations and give the body the best possible
chance to get rid of the invader. Usually a few days
%suffices for this. Then it must be remembered that
weakly and uncertainty. The stomach is in no con
dition to stand heavy doses Of hearty. food. The
lungs may treat with indifference those little beasts
that develop pneumonia. The heart lacks it's accus-
toned vigor, and if called on to pump blood enough
to provide for an ~exertion which under ordinary cir
curnstances would b%e~trivial. it may quit beating al
together.
There arc plenty ofpeople who have kept going
through quite severe attaeks'o Of these cold" diseases.
Most Of Us have done it at times. But graves have
been made for an immense number who have tried it
and failed. It would be folly to suggest that every
little ache and pain demands instant and heroic treat
nent. If we were to examine our sensations with
that end in view any Of Us could doubtless find plaus;
IDLE excuse for going to bed and letting somebody
else do the work. But there is an element Of reason
to be observed in all things. And the reasonable
course seems to be to observe the very plain warn
which nature usually gives when something
serious is the matter.

REMARKABLE OVERSIGHT.

II. the railroad business is as profitable as many
people would have us suppose, there are several
million people who have been overlooking a glori-
Gus opportunity in not going into the railroad bust
ness. The objector may say that II takes money to
build a railroad, and tie average individual has not
much money to invest. Il is true that the railroad
business cannot be carried on without fnoney-a
fact that seems quite frequently to be overlooked.
Bat 1t doesn't take much money to get into the rail-
road business. The thing can be done for about ten
dollars, itthat is all that one has to spare. For that
ftrifling sun1-or for $10.T5, to be exact, it has been
possible within the past few days to buy a share of
stock inathe Erie railroad. That is an old road,
running through one of the most populous sections
Sof the continent, and connecting some Of the most
important cities. The par value OF that share OF
stock is $500, yet one can buy it for a little more
t..al the price Of half a ton of hard coal, or the price
of eight or ten bushels of wheat. Or, if he prefers
something a little more costly, he can buy a. 500
share in the Milwaukee for about $40, in the Great
Northern for $75, or in the Northern Pacific for $T9,
The odd cents are omitted from these quotations..
The possessor of one of these shares is in the
railroad business, and the stock which he owns will
participate in all dividends on an equal basis with
the stock Of any other owner. Such purchases have
been possible all the time. Yet millions of dollars
have been deposited in savings banks at 4 to 5 per
cent, or had been loaned on farm mortgages at rates
which yield the loaner 6 to z per cent net.
If the railroad business yields such fabulous re-
turns, why is it that SO many people who have had
money to invest, and who are very familiar with
business, have been investing all these years, and
are still investing, in things. which yield only such
very moderate returns? n

FERTILITY FROM THE AIR.

1T is only recently that men have made HHeh
sproETess in the work of obtaining the elements Of
soil fertility directly from the air by artificial means.
Manure has been conducting her own processes for
this purpose ever since the world took form. One
of the elements indispensable to plant growth is
nitrogen. That substance IS a gas which forms
about 80 per cent Of the air which surrounds the
Earth. Il is. collected from the air by the leaves Of
plants, and some plants have root systems which
are capable Of collecting an excess Of nitrogen and
dcposidng il III the soil where it will be available
Tor other plants. Nitrogen is forced into chemical
sconabination with oxygen by lightning flashes, and
5Eaindrops collect this new combination and carry II
