Modern Dyestufs

Modern dyestuffs can be just as fast
and give just as beautiful colors as
any used in past times. says the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
Is sentiment chiefly that makes US
cling to the idea that the natural dyes
obtained from plants and animals are
best. Many Of them are lovely colOrs,
it is true, and the time that has passed
since the cloth was dipped in the dye
pot has in many cases mell0wed the
tones and made them even lovelier.
Many of the so-called artificial dyes
used now are exactly the same from
the chemical standpoint as those from
berries and bark and other natural
sources. In some cases the new dyes
are better than the old. The modern
manufacturer Of dyestuffs knows ex-
actly what Is In Thorn, and for that rea-
son Is surer of results

Old Monarchicol Idea

The name Divine Right OF Kings"
Is given to doctrine that was pro-
mulgated in England In the Seven
teenth century. 1t asserted that
kings held their authority by divine
appointment and were earthly repre-
sentatives Of the Deity. This princi-
pie relieved the sovereign of all re-
sponsibility toward his subjects, and
gave him absolute claim to their ODE
dience. The chief defenders of this
dogma were Salmasius, Hobbies and
Sir Robert Filmer; while Milton, AL
gernon Sydney and Harrington were
its Incorporating opponents. The
controversy died natural death on
the accession OF the House of Han
over. In the Bill of Rights (18S9) the
right of the people to depose the SOW
ereign, to alter the order Of, success
sion, and to confer the sovereignty
on whomsoever they may think prop
ier is distinctly set forth.-Kansas

Hisforys Long List
of Great "SoufhpatUs''

Cheer up, all We southpaws. A del
yer into obscure matters of history has
unearthed something that should
please each and every one of you. It
is really something to give you reason
to put on airs of superiority. Are you
not pleased to learn that Alexander
the Great used his sword with his left
hand? Charlemagne, the patron of
scholars, used his pen with his left
hand. If he did any writing at all. Also
the Pharaohs were left-handed and
so were the greater Caesars. In the
period between $500 B. G. and Is B. c.
a left-handed man was considered ''the
darling Of the gods" and was rushed
into high Office. Yet, the left-handed
have had to suffer under instructors
who tried to make them change
physical habit Even some educa-
tionalists claim that left-handed pupils
fall far below the average level Of
school efficiency. In fact, the left
handed have been jeered at probably
everywhere except on the baseball

Food and Hibernafion

alternating animals enter the state
of Information more quickly and re-
main in it much longer when they do
not get much to eat and when their
air supply is limited. This fact seems
to have been established by expert
ments performed by DR.. George john

on limited rations retired to winter
quarters earlier and woke up less
often than those given ample food,
Animals when in state Of hiberna-

Winter Rains Stored
for Time of DROUGHT

In southern California, where land
without water is worth little, various
means have to be adopted to conserve
the winter rainfall for the dry sum-
mer months. From May till October
landowners depend on the underground
water supply. =. 49,.
A recent development has been the
construction Of vast natural sponge
destined to hold the flood waters from
the great canyons in the district. The
water from the melting snow or rains
is distributed over nearly 800 acres OF
rock and sandy land, covered from end
to end with sage bushes. This area
has been intersected by specially con-
structed bitches, with concrete distrib-
uting gates, by means Of which the
water is kept circulating. instead Of
pouring away to waste.
At the height Of the season this won
derful sponge" soaks up not less than
100000 inches of rain, all Of which
can be pumped to the surface when re-

Initiative Wins

When initiative is absent. we be-
come mechanical beings with no keen
ness for advancement; and II all were
afflicted that way the world would
cease to progress; for we are here
today just because men Of initiative
have acted in the past. So it is well
to be buoyant and brisk to take an
other step which will bring benefit
both to ourselves and others.
There are thousands of things In
life that are ours II we will but claim
them; but we have failed because
we have never heard their call, or
thought the call was to someone else
and not to us. We need to arouse
ourselves and go In and possess, 9th
erwise we shall be left behind.-Ex-
