Many Republics Before
That of United States

Probably the first government which
can be considered republican In form
was the ancient IsraelitIsh common
wealth or republic. which lasted from
about 1891 B. G. to 1905 B. G. About
three centuries after this the Greek
states, Of which Athens was chief. set
up what gradually came to be demo-
cratic republics Ancient Carthage
and Rome were for short period re-
publIcs During the Middle ages
many Of the free cities of Italy and
Germany set up republics. San
Marine In Italy Is now the oldest ex-
listing republic, while Switzerland has
existed as republic since 1921. Ac-
cording to an article In the American
Cyciopedia. the degree Of popular SOW
ereignty in republics has varied very
widely In the past, most of the So
called republics having been ruled by
an aristocracy which jealousy guard
ed its own rights but treated the null
titude as little better than slaves.
Real republican government may be
said to date from the American Dec
laration of Independence. and even In
the United States the government was
largely one of class until about the
second quarter of the Nineteenth cen
fury. when suffrage barriers began to
break down."

Cause of Hailstorms

The stones which fall during ordl-
nary hailstorms measure from one
eighth to one-haIf inch In diameter,
their size depending upon the violence
of the upward columns of air that pro.
duce them. Hail, like rain, is caused
by the vertical circulation of the air.
Rain is formed by the condensation
of drops Of moisture in cooling air
which grow larger as the air rises
until they are heavy enough to fall.
Each of the drops rises and falls al
least once. Hail, which is frozen rain,
is caused by the drops being tossed
higher.

office of the district forest headquar-
tiers here, with Thomas Lommasson
in charge, is cooperating with Dean
I. C. Spaulding of the forestry school
in this work and it will probably be
completed in 1885. Five acres of
ground near the university are being
used as an experiment station.
With the growing Importance of
tractors in logging, work is being
done to determine the effect of trac-
tor "skidding" in comparison with
horse "skidding" of logs in regard to
destruction and injury to forest
stands of timber, brush disposal and
soil disturbances. The third new
project aims to find the definite loo
alton of water in wood under various
conditions. 1t has so far been found
that there seems to be definite re-
lation between interior and surface
moisture in western yellow pine and
Douglas fir.
Two continuation projects deal
with problems of artificial reforesta@
ton. fsa
Of interest in western Montana is
a project studying the functioning of
the place and efficiency of private CO.
operative protective agencies in pri-
vate owned forest lands. Several such
agencies are conducted near Missoula.
The forest service bulletin notes
that many of the projects will be of
practical use to lumbermen and are
also an excellent commentary on the
caliber of the students and faculty at
the university school of forestry.

A colorful episode in recent news,
emphasizing one of the conditions
that complicate this country's insular
problem.
And grim answer to the Filipino
politicians and American sentimental
lists who demand immediate indie
pendence" for the islands. For it is
reminder that geographically and
ethnically the inhabitants of the
PHILIPPINES comprise two distinct and
perhaps irreconcilable races.
In the north are Luzon and the
Visayan islands, containing more
than 90 per cent of the total popula-
ton of 100000 with Christianized
Filipinos in the majority.
But in the south, Mindanao and the
Sulu Archipelago, representing 80 per
cent of the land area of the archipel-
ago, are inhabited chiefly by the
Moros, who are entirely distinct in
race, culture and religion.
The Filipinos are the more plac-
able of the two peoples. During the
period of Spanish dominion they en-
braced Christianity, and took over the
customs and language of their rulers.
The Moros never submitted. They
remained jealous Mohammedans.
They retained their virtual indepen-
dence, and it took special war by
the American crmy to subdue them.
And even after they were conquered,

CONOCO COMPANY
BROADCASTS EVERY
THURSDAY NIGHT

Bringing to radio listeners of a
large section of the United States
new and unique entertainment fea-
ture, the Continental Oil company Of
Denver, Colorado, went on the air
earl, in 1880 with a regular weekly
program over the National Broad
casting company network. Accord
ing to those who have seen the script
and rehearsals the Conoco dramatic
productions, built around outstanding
romantic historical events in the de-
velopment of the Western United
States, promise superb entertainment.
The whole of the western states,
the great scenic wonderland in which
were enacted SO many of the stirring
dramas of American history from
which fiction writer's have drawn
their material for decades, form the
background for the Conoco programs.
They will be dramatized incidents in
the historical epic of the west, writ
ten as truly in accordance with the
historical facts as historians and re-
search workers can make them. They
will include such miniature dramas as
the discovery of Pixies Peak by ze-
bulon M. Pike, the opening of the
Cherokee Strip in Oklahoma, which
precipitated the widest race for land
ever recorded in history; Clusters
Last Stand, in Montana; discovery Of
the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico,
and a score of others similar in char
acter, each chapter in the saga of
the winning of the West.
To the millions of Americans who
have seen this Western wonderland,
or who are planning to see it during
future summer motor tolrs, the Con-
oco programs will be particularly in
teresting, because of their direct
bearing upon the scenic beauty-spots
which have become the shrines of in
creasing millions Of tourists each
summer.
Sponsors of the program have an
nounced that no expense has been
spared in assemblingthe most COM
petent available dramatic talent to

Moonlight at the Poles

The Naval observatory says that at
either pole the moon is above the ho-
rizon continuously for about two
weeks, and then below the horizon con-
tinuously for about two weeks. AT the
Arctic and Antarctic circles there are
some years when for few days in
each month the moon does not set,
and a few days when it does not rise
otherwise at these circles 1t rises and

held to give them the realism which
comes only from painstaking exam
ination of historical documents of
their respective periods. Elaborate
musical backgrounds have been
worked out to harmonic with the
text of each playlet, and to conform
to the highest standards Of modern
radio entertainment.
School children, especially, will be
interested in the Conoco programs,
because of their fidelity to historical
fact, and the opportunity they afford
students to acquire an accurate his

colorful sections of their country

Under American officers from 1908

prosperous and peaceful. But since
wide powers were granted to the
Manila legislature, in which the
Moros have no representation, they
have been embittered by practices of

The Moros are proud, warlike
