Q. Why do the wheels on automo-
biles seem to turn backwards in the
moVies?-P. NJ.
a. Motion pictures are in reality a
combination of still pictures. The first
picture of the automobile shows the
spokes of the wheels in one position.
II the next exposure of the film were
made when spoke No. 1 had advanced
far enough to be in the position Of
spoke No. 2, the picture would show
no motion, as spokes are identical
If spoke l had advanced less than
half way to position of spoke ., the
forward motion would be noticed. If
however, spoke l advances more than
half way TO the observer, it would
have the effect of spoke > moving
backward, as that distance would be
shorter and the apparent motion
would be in that direction.

The Cost of War.

The Cost of War
In reading about the relations of
nations
We're sometimes impressed by the
fact
That militant nations create obli.
cations
Whose terms are too oft inexact.
We find that, 'mongst nations, the
poorer relations
Are scrappy as scrappy can be;
'Twere best that such nations make
new regulations
And fight all their wars C. o. D.

A man, a woman and a home.

A man, a woman and home.
This is the true eternal triangle.
Other "triangles" have received
more publicity. but none deserves il
so much as this one, the structure OF
all that is good in life.
Civilization eliminates in this
triangle.
All past ages have been working
toward 1t. Today in the United
States it stands in every village, town
and city. at once the pride and ambi
ton of America.
The home, OF course, is no new
thing. Every land, as almost every
century. has had it's homes. But no
where, perhaps, in all the world, OF
during any age, has the triangle
reached such perfection as here and
now.
Rome. in the days of its pride. had
its houses, too. Many of them were
built of marble, were kept by huge
retinues of servants tslaves) and held
a dignified matron and children
Simply as domiciles they were very
good.
Centuries were to pass before man
kind again had such sanitation in
their dwellings, as the high-class
Romans had.
Yet, they were not homes such as
we know.
Imagine this-when a baby was
born, being shown to the father. II
the latter took it up in his arms, the
child was permitted to live.
If the father. however, frowned
upon it and refrained from picking II
up. it was condemned to death, taken
from the mother and exposed" a'
the Toman phrase had 1t, to be de

Other days, other customs, o.
course.
While the heart Of motherhood has
been much the same through the cen
turtles. the Roman mother undoubted
ly did not regard such barbarity as
a modern mother would.
The 'pater" of the family was the
law of the household, as well as the
head of it. and custom of centuries
already had made such treatment OF
the newborn tolerable. so that NJ
great grief was caused by the decli
nation of the father TO pick up the
infant.
Yet one may imagine that many a
tear was shed as th" unfortunate lit
tie ones that failed TO obtain the pa
ternal approval were sent away &c
their death.
state everything.
The children scarcely were regard
ed as human beings in imperial Rome
until they arrived at mans estate, al
though, strangely enough, they wore
purple on their robes, the color only
worn by high state officials. This was
a theoretical admission, at least. or
the part of their elders that there
was something sacred about child
hood.
For all the glitter, the much herald
ed grandeur of Rome. the whole an
cient world, which this city doni
mated, must have smacked of the
shambles and the jungle. wherein d
dog eat-dog policy largely prevailed
The unscrupulously clever mana ged
TO live-the rest skulked.
There must have been but one sal
vation for the peaceful person-to be
one of the commonality, so low in sta
ton that one was lost in the common
herd.
In such a state there could have
been no homes such as we know then
today. Undoubtedly out of the mil
lions who lived and died under such
governments some did achieve par
tial resemblance to a modern home.
On the seven hills of Rome. and ir
provinces under her sway, some lucky
ones must have lived their lives ir

deed, of the entire executive depart.
ment of the Government, q fact which
officials of these services may do well
TO bear i'll mind when the President 5
budget recommendations are under
discussion. In framing the budget
which is to be submitted TO Congress
the authority is the Presidents and
also the responsibility. II the Presi
dent pares the estimates for the Army
and the Shipping Board too low for
efficiency, in the end he must bear the
blame. But if there is to be discipline
in the service, with the Chief Execu'
tive and commanderin-chief deter
mining the policy of the administra-
ton, this is no time for officers of the
Army, the Navy, the Shipping Board
or any of the other executive branches
of the Government to raise their voices
in criticism.
The President has shown his dis
pleasure at reports alleged to have
Staff of the Army and from Chairman
OConnor of the Shipping Board, criti-
Cizing the proposed budget. 1t is to
he presumed that the President has
called in the Army experts and the
Shipping Board experts before reach
ing a decision as to what the appro-
priations for these services should be
during the next fiscal year, and that
he has reached a decision after weigh
ing all the facts. If his decision be
faulty, IL is still his decision. For
subordinates to attempt propaganda
against his policy does not augur
that measure of cooperation required
for efficiency.
Men who have spent their lives in
the service of the country may regard
with deep regret failure to make ex-
penditures which they consider vital
to the service But if the system of
Government which places the Chief
Executive in entire command for a
period of four years is not to fall, the
decision of that Executive must pre-.
concerned.
Congress, a coordinate branch of
the Government with the executive,
may not accept the Presidents bud
getary decision either for the Army or
the Shipping Board, or for any of the
other departments. But that is a
vastly different matter. The commit
tees of Congress may call before them
officers of the Government to get their
views with regard to the proposed re-
ductions in expenditure for the Army
and the Shipping Board, and those
officers would properly be at liberty
TO express their honest convictions.
And with the evidence before it Con-
SreSS will determine what the appro-
priations shall be. Even then, the
President by his veto power could
override the Congress unless that body
by two-thirds' vote exercises its right
to supremacy.
President Coolidges economy pro.
gram has been popular with the peo-
pie al large. Should the people be-
come convinced that this program is
being carried too far, that it is result
ing in injury to the national defense
and to the efficient administration of
the Government, doubtless the Con-
gress would smash the program at
various points. That Congress will go
to the bat against the President, how
ever, unless it becomes convinced,
that the people are against his pro-
gram of economy is entirely unlikely.
Congress must be reelected next year
