Pinchot and Penrose.

Gov. Pinchot is one of two men
who loom above all the other strong
men of Pennsylvania's latter history;
the other Is Penrose and. strangely,
they loom together, writes John w.
Owens in The New Republic. The
reason Is that Pinchot has and PEN
rose had character in the larger
sense; each evolved for himself a
genuine, personal philosophy of life.
Penrose merited study by Dresser at
Dreiser's best, I believe. because
there undoubtedly was one day in
his life when he made decision that
ordinary men never approach.
Penrose did not slump through life.
There was a day when he, the aris-
tocratic young reformer, walked up
on ridge. looked over life, con-
cluded that reality was to be found
only in materiaiism, and, having
abundant courage. fashioned his life
thereafter in materialism and let the
tongue of his old world wag.
And one day. I believe. Pinchot
only reality is high spirit trained
and disciplined by the daily taking
Of the hard, straight road Both men
undoubtedly faltered at times in their
PHILOSOPHERS. Drunken men have So
Der moments and sober men drunk
think Penrose. in his last years. had
periods of saddened -introspection.
Pinchot probably has weakened many
times under the calls of ambition,
affection or other diverting emotions.
But this Is true of him: He IL
one Of the few men who have gone
through nearly sixty years Of full,
strenuous living and are still rolling
over In the dust OF LIES strife and
turmoil and yet have kept burning
brightly child-lfke faith that right
is might and that the one real thing
is to be positively and aggressiyely
right.

German officer who was sitting
near me in a Cologne restaurant and
who took me for a sympa thetfc Swede
tthe writer is an English woman) de-
clared: THE German attitude toward
England has not changed the least
particle since the war" (Well, why
should it? We took Germany's fleet
and her colonies. is il likely that she
would forget that?)
AS soon as it Is possible" the Ger
man concluded, I'VE will provoke an
other war-a war conducted in the air
with Russia as an ally. Russia will
be our starting point for attack
(porte de sortie). and in the next war
we Will show no mercy for England
whom We hate, nor for France, whom
we scorn."
A correspondent in the north of
England sends me the following.
warning: "A serious responsibility
rests upon any one who dares to de-
fend the French at the present time"
In reality a responsibility far more
heavy rests upon those who, having
once fought by the side of the French,
now refuse to defend them.
"Frenchmen are not of that divine
race which the Quakers besought
them to be, when they asked France
to stretch forth the hand of friend
ship to Germany and forget the past.
France. Is .human--very human. She
(British) were on her side it was
above all to save our own skins. To
abandon her now would be to forget
everything that Great Britain has al
ways resented-justice, loyalty
and fair play"

Find New Fish Method.

The Developments which have taken
place in the preservation of fish dur
ing recent years formed the subject
of an article which Prof. James John
stone contributed to a fishing indus
tries section of the London Times.
referring to the new method of
brine freezing, which just before the
war was being attentively studied in
this country and on the continent,
Prof tombstone states:
Since 1918 the process of brine
freezing has been investigated by the
food investment board, and the in
formation obtained is now complete
enough for adoption in the industry.
Solutions Of salt which are SO con-
centrated that they remain liquid at
a temperature of zero Fahrenheit
are employed, being cooled in insu-
lated tanks by coils Of pipes contain
ing circulating ammonia.
The fish are washed, put into wire
baskets and are kept in the cooled
brine for a period long enough to
freeze them hard. The process of
freezing Is very rapid. because of low
temperature, and so the ice-crystals
that form are very minute and do
not break the tissues. The brine
frozen fish can be transported with
facility before thawing, and their
original flavor is unimpaired. The
methods have been elaborated for use
on board fishing vessels"

Story Of a Hymn.

lads for dance halls. She was then
sixteen and they were married. Mrs.
Lawrence believed in an old-fashioned
home, and that is what she demand
ed of Lawrence, but he couldn't have
home and travel around the coun-
try as he had to. and they separated
four years ago. The other day Mrs.
Lawrence heard a hymn. HE Loves
Even Me-" that stirred the fires Of
love anew. especially when she dis
covered the composer was her former
husband. If he is turning out hymns
he must be different man, she de-
cided. Mr.. and Mrs. Scott Lawrence
are now enjoying a second honey
moon.
