President Vinson tells young
people of Western Reserve Uni-
fersity that no conflict exists be-
tween science and religion; they
occupy different fields. He wisely
remarks that science, without re-
ligion, would lead to hopeless ma
tsrialism, just as religion, when it
denies the plain truths of science,
leads to fanaticism and supersti-
ton.
Religion and science are like
astrology and astronomy, or like
alchemy and chemistry.
Astronomy started in astrology,
chemistry started in alchemy, with
experimenters seeking to make
gold.
Science started in religion. Men,
questioning the origin of things,
first gave religious answer, ev-
erything based on miracles. Then
they studied more closely and be-
gan giving scientific answers.

 Coach Bath, of the local High school, squad better known as Sat urday Night, claims that his men are in wonderful condition and on edge for the game and that he has forbid den smoking cigaretts, chewing to- bacco and all other forms of mental land physical dissipation and further has cut down on the boys eating too many ice cream sodas, each boy not being allowed to consume more than three or four a day at the least. That's what we call being real mean to the kids, it's a mean shame if you ask us our opinion about it. We'll, be that as it may, the fact remains that they claim it is all over now but the shout ing.
 l Coach Smith of the Army squad hasn't got so much to say. only that
 squad will take Thursdays game like Grant took Richmond or if that seems to have been little bit tough for Grant to take that place, then like the Tanks" won the World War, or downed French "Conyack", and they won't heed any cries for quarter eith- CT. No he ain't got much to say. He also claims he has a complete surprise in store for the High school kids, which he is going to spring on them next Thursday night, something that will be worth the small price of ad- mission alone. That ain't all either, but being as how he has a reputation Iof not having very much to say at any time, all he wants to say before he Icloses up like a clam is; that althO they are going to crown his boys the champs at the termination of this series, they, (the Army boys) are go- ing to "crown" the High school boys in lots of different ways on some not very distant Thursday night. That's all that the reporter could get him to state at this time, as it is we'll known that Smith is a man of few words, fewer actions, maybe
 The Sophs and the Juniors will clash in the first game of the evening and as there is no love lost between either squad much spirited action should be forthcoming I'll bet on the girls every time.
 The success of future athletics in Seward hinges to great extent on the patronage this present tournament will receive from the public therefore 1t is requested that all male and fe male members of the club do their bit and endeavor to make this wonder full success from the box office stand point. So lets pack the house with all our friends. The price of admis- sion is the small sum of 25 cents and for the benefit of those who are not acquainted with our club and have never been inside we wish to impart the following information; the club Is very nicely heated at all times and is we'll ventilated so you have com fortable seat and enjoy the games in solid comfort.

All the above points were clear to

this year, and the events OF the year
have merely confirmed them. That

a sacrifice OF fuel for the solid hull Of

Declare Seapianes Safe.
There are those who contend that
anyway, in he3vy Atlantic sea, a
flying boat could not survive, and is,
machine. When Comdr Rodgers of
the United States Navy tried to fly to
Ha avail In a flying boat. his own last
wireless message stated that he was
running out of gasoline and had no
hopes Of surviving the heavy sea be-
low. Some days later a s,,brna rine
picked him and his crew up perfectly
safe.

lar to my own Comdr. J.ocatelli rode

A year or so ago q passenger-carry-
ing la nd machine fell into a relatively
smooth sea in the Channel and sank
in a couple of hours. Incidentally
Flight Lieut.. Carr's overland flight to
India would have been safer on a
flying boat, as on each occasion he
was compelled to select water for his
descent.
Along with the business OF using
land machines over hundreds Of miles
OF sea. the nonstop idea should also
be Knocked on the head. Provided re-
ftieling is done with such rapidty
that it does not reduce seriously the
value OF an aeroplane as a high speed
vehicle it is not detrimental.

minus 25. or SO miles per hour. or
only half it's eastward speed.
This does not merely mean that he
must use double the gasoline. For he
must run neither above nor below his
economical speed. whereas with fol-
lowing wind he can throttle right back
and let the wind more than make up
the difference.
Again, with the head wind there is
twice the time for favorable conditions
ahead to change into unfavOrable;
there is twice the time for the weather
forecast on which he started to be
come obsolete.
Should the wind turn partly to one
side, say northwest or southwest he
will drift just as far to one side in one
hour as il he were going eastward
but only have gone half as far for
ward, SO that his deviation from the
course Is much greater over the whole
route.
East and West Different.
And here l should point out that
navigation eastward is a very different
proposition from that westward.
Coming from Newfoundland. 1t is
practically impossible to miss hitting
Of Ireland and the north Of France.
for Europe presents a practically fiat
face OF well mapped land to any rough
eastward course Thus navigation
eastward presents no particular prob
lem and has, in fact, not been seri-
| ously attempted.

lessly lost.
As / have said a westward pilot
with head and side winds and no
proper navigation, might easily be 200
miles OF his course, where the east
ward pilot would not be far enough off
to matter, and If weather were thick
the westward pilot would not know
whether to turn north or south to find
land whereas the eastward pilot
would merely have to continue east.
This position is still further aggra
waited by the question Of night. Fly
ing eastward toward sunrise, a pilot
considerably reduces his night time.
Flying westward he increases it.
At this time of the year, for exam
pie, flying eastward the night would be
hours and westward about 13 hours.
During the night observations OF the
sea cannot be taken to show drift
which may very seriously change. A
cloudy night might prevent sextant
observations even if a sextant were
carried.
Flyers Return by Boat.
And still a further point arises. The
eastward pilot, in difficulties low down.
which would be more serious at night.
can climb with certainty OF the wind
becoming more favorable high up. A
wind from the east. however. almost
inva riably decreases after 5000 feet
and may then become west, so that in
g. long night flight with thick weather
and low clouds, the westward pilot can
only exchange one set OF bad condi-
tions for another.

Agriculture chemists as the INT Of
fertilizer"
These powerful stimulants. DIR. Tur-
rentine explains, are built up on GER
tain fundamental principles of plant
growth. The pla nts. of course, must
eat just the same g animals. Their
food consists of three eleme nts nitro
gen. phosphorus and potassium
which their roots must find in the
soil. In addition. OF course. they must
have water and plenty of carbon di-
oxide, which they obtain from the at
mosphere through their leaves.
But the phosphorus. nitrogen and
potassiu must be in the soil or be
put there and means of getting them
there in forms fit for the plant TO eat
constitute perhaps the greatest prob
lem Of the science of agriculture.
Nitrogen merely causes the plant to
grow. Fed on nitrogen alone il would
go crazy" aud produce stalks and
foliage all ont of proportion. Fruit
and flowers would be very poor. if
they were produced at all. Phosphorus
and pOia ssium serve TO stabilize the
growth. to promote fruit and flowers
and to strengthen the stems.
Nitrogen in the form o. a nitrate
acts almost overnight. II is type of
food which the plant can eat" imme-
dia tely. 1t is something which previ.
ously has been digest ed. like beef tea.
So generally it Is not a good idea to
provide nitrates. but ia ather nitrogen
in other forms. such as ammonia or
urea, which must first be worked over
by micro org ganiSins in the soil before
they became availa bic food for vege-
tation.
Three types Of fertilizer ordinarily

Fertilizer Kills Weeds.
DR.. Turrentine made one discovery
by accident but he doesn't advise
anybody to repeat his experiment,
until they have obtained some ex-
perience in ha ndling the powerful!
mixture. He spread ii. in powdered
form, very lightly over his lawn on
a hot evening intending to turn the

was a heavy dew that night, and
when the sun came up the powder
dried all over the yard. He found,
curiousIy, that all the weeds in his
lawn died. while the grass was un-
hurt. Afterward ii grew luxuriantly.
But he had happened to hit on just
the right amount. If he had used a
trif1e too much the grass also would
have been killed
