ton. Patching up the slow
moving-ice-wagon elements will not
make it strong. We do not make
1t strong by first making it
weaker! We must keep the battle
ships we now have, but we must
add the new weapons that we now
lack - swift, powerful, deadly
weapons that have put the dread
nOught between two such danger
Gus fires that its proponents now
propose TO root il over and armOr
its bottom!
The fact that Eangland may pur-
sue this patching policy is no
reason for our doing so. We must
lead, not follow, in naval develop
ment. Admiral Sir Percy Scott
once said that Sir John Fisher led
the German admiralty, previous to
the world war. into a vain and
foolish battleship race-and that
this blind blunder by the Germans
won the war for the allies! And
this fact is admitted today.
Had Germany refused to enter
the dreadnought race. and de-
veloped and built large submarine
fleet, as well as a powerful air
force in 1910 to 1914, she would
spite the battleship- fleets of Eng
land, France, Italy, Japan, and the
United States. Suppose Germany

think about it! Remember the first
statement Jellicoe made to Sims in
the spring of 1917, when Sims
reached London! We can't go on
like this much longer"
The United States must not be led
by the nose as stupidity as was
Germany, and with the same re-
suIt-to lose the next war! We
must think and act for ourselves
and we must think and act right.
We must look ahead not back.
An Up-tO-Date Navy.
There is one more important
point-the financial. VIII Congress
and the people give us more mil
lions to put patches on weak bat
tleships and at the same time give
us the millions we really need for
cruisers, submarines and air forces?
Will they do both? If not. which
will they most likely do? Will they
readily agree to spend money on
the dying naval gladiators of the
past, or will they prefer to add to
the modern and powerful elements
of 1928 fighting navy?
We may perhaps add three or
four miles to the range of the bat.
tleship guns, making it fifteen
miles, or we may develop the air
plane carrier, whose gup, the air.
plane, will have range of 100
miles, four times as great as the
sixteen-inch gun! And the carrier
can have a speed from five to ten
miles greater than the patched
battleships! Which?

All Due to Christianity,

We live in the midst Of blessings,
till we are utterly insensible of their
greatness, and of 'the source from
which they flow. We speak of our
civilization, our arts, our freedom, our
laws, and forget entirely how large
share of all is due to Christianity.
Blot Christianity out of the page of
mans history, and what would his
laws have been?-what his civiliza-
tion! Christianity is mixed up with
our very being and our daily life;
there Is not a familiar object round
us which does not wear its mark, not
n being or n thing which does not
wear different aspect, because the
light of Christian hope Is on it, not
law which does not owe Its truth
and gentleness to Christianity, not u
custom which cannot be traced, In all
Its holy and healthful parts, to the
Gospel.

PLANT SURE DEATH TO RATS
Would Seem II Might Be Utilized to
Rid the World Of a Most
Deadly Enemy.

"Why not raise your own rat
poison?" the Philippine bureau Of
science is asking the people.
Its name is "dioscora hirsuta
blume," and it grows wild throughout
the island lowlands.
The poison content is dioscorine, an
alkaloid which produces paralysis Of
the central nervous system.
The discora Is tuber; looks like
potato and grows like one. 1t also
tastes enough like the old-fashioned
"spud" to fool Mr.. Rat for moment.
But 1t has little reaction all of its
own.
The government scientists say that
one nibble is enough to kill n large
rat. a slice, without proper prepara-
ton, would kill human being.
On the other hand it has been de-
termined that by peeling the iuber
and allowing it to stand in running
water for a period of "a hours til .
dloscorine content is washed out and
the vegetable may be prepared for
human consumption in the same man
ner as is potato.
When thus prepared 1t has slightly
sweet taste and is said to have most
agreeable effect upon the palate.
At present one of the largest of the
government agricultural SCHOOLS in the
Philippines IS making use of the tuber
to kill rats and field mice, which are
proving an increasing menace to
growing crops.

COUNT THE DUST PARTICLES
Scientists of United States Depart

In connection with the solar radia

United States Department of Agricul-
ture. daily count is being made Of
the number of dust particles in the at
mosphera at Washington. To make
the count. the air pressure within the
dust counter is suddenly decreased,
causing line Of Gust to be precip'-
tated on glass, where the particles are
counted with n microscope havinc- a
magnification of 1000 dlameters. On
quiet mornings as many as 5000 dust
particles per cubic centimeter have
been counted. but on clear MORNINGS
following precipitation the number
drops to $50.
Most of the particles appear to be
extremely fine minerals or organic
matter from the earth's surface. al
though some unconsumed carbon from
smoke. gypsum and calcite from build
ing operations, and datomaceous ma
terlal have been observed. Undoubted
ly there are many particles which
while large enough to act as nuclei for
condensation, are too small to be seen
through a microscope with magnify
ing power of 1000 dlameters.

SNOW USED FOR
 FIRE FIGHTING

SALT LAKE CITY. Aug. 29-Snow from the huge drifts left in mountain passes since last winter was pressed into unique service recently by fire fighters In the Uintah range. when a forest blaze was extinguished by means of shoveling the snow onto the fire Report of this method of queneh- ing fire was brought here by W. q. Mann, assistant supervisor of the Wasatch national forest, who super vised volunteers who overcame the fire which had spread over a two acre area at the Black fork of the Green river.
 Water in good quantities was not available and the men shoveled great piles of snow around the blaze with the result that it was cut off and left only smouldering timbers. All though Mr Mann has had oonsidera- ble experience in fighting forest fires. he has never before had recourse to the use of snow. he asserted.

PALACE LAST TIME, THE "BEGGAR IN PURPLE"

Lovers of realism are given an ex quisite love story and good dramatic presentation at the Palace Theatre where the Edgar LeWs-Pathe feature "A Beggar in Purple" is showing for the last time tonight It deals with men, money and morals and proves that honest, homely virtue is, after all, the secret of real success and happiness. Yet it is not conyen tional feature, for Edgar Lewis has given it an attention both to detail and to scope which lifts it way above the usual in photoplays.
 MT Lewis has before proven his ability to creat situations which pull at the heart strings. "A Beg gar in Purple" has this sympathetic quality in abundance, yet relieved by comedy bits of wholesome laughter
 The story follows the career of a man who has devoted his life to building corporation through which he can bring about the ruination of a business rival, whose selfishness years before, had caused his mothers death. At the break of success, an accident occuN which literally ren. ders him a beggar in purple; but the love of his secretary proves a fam ing light in his night of despair.

"UNDER TWO FLAGS"
 AT PALACE TOMORROW

The dynamic personality of Pris cilla Dean has never been given such forceful expression on the screen as in Under Two Flags" the Universal Jewel production of Ouidas famous novel, which comes to the Palace Theatre Thursday. The spirited girl, Cigarette, idol of French regiment at Algiers, is the type Miss Dean portrays so well.
 The excitement with which the film abounds was felt by every member of the huge company at Universal City participating in the production of this classic of the screen. They all lived in the atmosphere of Algeria, where the action of the story takes place.
 A portion of the town of Algiers, with a faithful reproduction of the French barracks there, was built at the big studio Members of the cast lived ''in character" for several months. Miss Dean herself became so accusomed to the costumes of the play that it was difficult for her to readjust herself to habits of normal life when not actually working before the camera.

1t Can Be Done Tn Juneau.
 That back aches at times with a dull, indeseribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Juneau resi- dents would do well to profit by the following example.
 Mrs. Ellen Willikson. 33S 11th St., Astoria. Ore, says: T was sub- feet to attacks of backache and if I overworked my kidneys troubled me. I felt tired out and had no energy and dizzy spells and head aches were frequent. I knew my kidneys were the cause of the trouble so used Doan's Kidney Pills and they proved to be just what I needed. I was soon re- lieved of the backaches and my en- ergy was restored. I felt better in every way and my kidneys acted naturally and regularly"
