Il. A. Fouts ON School Matters

In reading over the articles in
the past several issues of our county
papers, on educational matters of
our country, one would almost be
led to believe we should have one of
our old time instructors with his
rod of correction and have him lay
about and straighten up some of his
so year old pupils. 1t would seem
to me in so important a matter as
education it should be looked upon
by the public especially, as a matter
demanding their very best judgment
and should be discussed in a cool

BREWERY
IN PHILA.
DRY WAR
Federal Authorities Take Hand
in Closing Of Saloons.
New Moves Planned.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26. - The
national prohibition enforcement
bureau at Washington took a hand
in the local crusade against saloons
and breweries today by virtually
shutting down the activities OF the
Bergner and Engle brewery here.
An injunction restraining the
concern from manufacturing beer of
illegal alcoholic content was
granted to- the local dry authorities
by Federal Judge McKeehan re-
Gently, but with the Interpretation
that 1t did not close the brewery
as long as the product was within
the legal limit.
The new action from Washington
voids the company's brewery per-
nit, and prevents it from the manu-
cacture Of even near-beer.
Heartened by this, United States
District Attorney George 8. Coles
will Immediately take up twelve APP
plications for injunctions to pad
lock" saloons and will seek to obtain
the cooperation Of Washington
against six breweries.

DR.. r. III. Tucker, an astronomer
at the Lick Observatory. says that
clocks run faster at night than dur
ing the daytime. To test DR.. Tuck
er's theory Of daylight saving an
elaborate observing program has
been set up at the observatory,
which includes observations of three
standard clocks and embraces a list
of stars whose positions are already
known with high precision. Each
night observations extend from 8 pm.
to 8 am.
1t is said that DR.. w. w. Campbell.
director of the Lick Observatory,
thinks results thus far developed
show that clocks do run faster at
night, though the observations are
not yet complete. The ultimate
cause of the phenomena, DIR. Camp
bell says, is obscure. He says, In
the observations by fundamental
methods where dependence is placed
upon the constancy of the clock rate
through the twenty-four hours of the
day, more or less, these errors would
reach their maximum values of be-
tween 0.02 and O.03 seconds at about

Paris had wanted to extend a help
ing hand to Moscow it could not have
done so better than it has through
the expectation of the French policy
IN the Ruhr," is the statement made
by Gustave Stresemann, leader of the
German peoples party.
THE result of six months of the
Ruhr struggle is economic. financial
and social chaos. German economy
has days of crucifixion both behind
and before it. Intercourse between
cur richest industrial region and the
rest of Germany has been completely
cut off. This has led to the circula-
ton of trillions of paper money
scraps, inferior in value even to the
Austrian crown. Such a flood of
paper money is the short way to en-
preparation and a forerunner of Boil
shevism.
