VARIETY.

One of the accusations most often
leveled against us by critics from
abroad is our tendency to standardize
everything to one dead level.
AS far as material things go, this
is good tendency. But in other mat
tiers it is different.
Don't insist that your neighbor hold
the same moral and mental standards
that you hold. Don't demand that
there be one standard and one only
for all the country. Let's have as
much variety as we can.
For Standardization, in such mat
ters, is the enemy of free thought.
And, great as our country l.. it could
stand few more thinkers.

Each season of the year has its
special hazards, SO that there is no
time in the twelve months when vigil
lance, watchfulness and care can be
cast aside. The spring with its change
able weather calls for particular at
tention to health habits. In the sum
mer the lakes and rivers take their
toll of lives through bathing and
boating accidents. In the late fall, the
first formed ice is used as lure by
death.
Last week at Kenosha three school
boys were drowned by skating on a
lagoon. The ice had barely formed
when two OF the youngsters "tried" it
with their skates. A third boy going
to their rescue after they had gotten
into difficulty was also drowned.
1t is bitter object lesson for par
ents to counsel caution and careful
ness. 1t win be many weeks before
skating can be considered a safe
pastime.--Fond du Lac Commonwealth.
A number of years ago the legisla-
ture enacted what was known as an
anti-glare law for the further regu-
lation of automobiles. For a few
weeks after this law was enacted,
whether in the interest of public
safety or of lens manufacturers, there
was great activity by the enforcing
authorities. Owners of automobiles
were required to equip their machines
with lamps that would at least APP
proximate the requirements of the
law. After this flash in the pan, the
law was. forgotten and became a dead
letter. 1t has been as dead as door
nail ever since. No more attention
hai been paid to it by the az thorities
local and state, than if it did not
exist. The anti-glare act has been
huge farce. The responsibility
must lie with the states executive
autho, sies. One thing is clear: Either
the aw should be enforced or ii
should be repealed. If it is without
merit or it's merits is debatable it
should be taken off the statutes. If
on the other hand, it has any real
value for promoting safety on the
public highways, it should be enforced
and enforced to the letter. The non
enforcement of a law Of this char
acter tends to bring into disrepute all

Rowell Says
By CHESTER H. RoWELL.

Z Silas H. Straw, special American
commissioner to China, has evidently
learned something of oriental skill in
softening the bluntness of diplomacy.
He announces that America is will
ing to go beyond the terms of the
Washington treaty in granting tariff
relief to China, but. adds that the
United States must be advised of the
plan for the abolition of the "likin"
system, and for putting it into effect
coincidentally with tariff autonomy.
That effectively "passes the buck"
to the Chinese. For, in the past, do
ing away with "likin" was just what
no Chinese government was able to
do. These 'likin" taxes are tariff i'm
posts collected by the separate prov
inces or local governments at their
own. frontiers, on goods in transit, in
addition to whatever national duties
may have been collected at the port
of entry.
1t is easy to abolish these duties
on paper. But what Commissioner
Straw asks for is plan for abolish
ing them in fact.
So long as the. local authorities
are stronger than the central gov
eminent, and will not obey It's orders,
something more than a paper prohibit
ton is needed. China will get tariff
autonomy as soon as it is autonomous
in its own affairs. But until the Chi
nese government can govern China,
foreign powers must continue methods
of protecting themselves, which would
be preposterous in really self-gov-
erning nation.

Will Use Steam
As Power, Briton Predicts

CARDIFF. July 21.-The use OF
steam engines in airplanes was pre-
dicted by Dir. John S. lIaldane at
the annual meeting of the Institute
of Mining Engineers.
In the course of a paper on coal
and steam, DR.. 1Ialdane said in the
very near future he believed steam
engines would take the place of in
ternal combustion engines to a very
great extent, and that future devel-
opment of the steam engine would
be along the lines of increased steam
pressure with smaller and lighter
engines. The complete engine and
boiler would be much smaller and
lighter than an equivalent interna
combustion engine, and would in al
probability be more suitable ant
even superior for use in airplanes
and motor cars.
Another scientist. Sir John Cadman
said he looked upon oil as phas,
which was passing. What oil wa
doing today coal would do again to
morrow, although oil would go int
certain channels of use which Goa
would never again be able to re
gain.

night firing, has been devised by
Major John II. Hood of the 18th

ed successful tests in improving the
accuracy and precision of fire.
Portable searchlights, capable of
revolving both vertically and hori-
zontally, were trained on pilot
ascension balloon 26 inches in dia-
meter as it rose. The speed and
direction were computed, as is done
at the meteorological station during
the day. This is said to have been
the first time the idea of tracking
n small balloon at night had been
tried.
The experiment was carried out
successfully by the operator of the
light the first time and without
field glasses Atmospheric condi
tions were adverse, with low clouds
and heavy wind velocity; neverthe-
less the balloon was tracked for
1900 yards. Military experts said
that with better equipment it could
be tracked as high as 1000 yards
