Not Living WAGE

DUT as I understand from the
- newspaper accounts, Miss st.
Glars thefts seem to have netted
her less than a thousand dollars
over a period of several years.
That hardly amounts to a living
wage. This is dull community in
deed if it lacks the capacity to teach
a sane individual some better liveli-
hood than that.
To be sure, I'm not at all certain
that the young woman in question
is wholly normal from a precise
medical point of view.
The laws definition Of sanity is
wholly inadequate. Courts require
no more than that an individual
should understand the nature OF his
acts. That's not nice enough.
You and do a dozen things a
day which would seem to any Ileu-
trail observer both wrong and silly.
There are urges which drive us on
to deeds which by no means enlist
our complete approval.

The Oxram Protest

Protest by officers of an organization
whose members trace their ancestry back to
the Revolution against speech by one Of
the leading educators of the state would be
amusing were it rot for the fact that it
suggests that there is a very real danger
that the things for which the founders
fought are slipping away.
The real liberties of the people, of course,
are not in any way threatened by such men
as DR.. Oxnam the president of De Paw.
His public utterances and his private record
indicate most strongly that he is one of the
few who believe in liberty and have faith
that it can be protected by appeal to con-
stitutional safeguards.
The real danger comes from those who
would wipe out the very fundamentals of
liberty by suppression, coercion. force and
the gag.
One of the foundations of liberty, as we'll
as its strongest safeguards, is the right of
free speech.
Yet back of the protest against DR..
Oman is the philosophy that suppression of
free discussion of public problems and ques-
tons should be exercised by the government.
The Daughters are constantly exercised
by the fear that pacfism, if any one knows
what it may be, will leave the nation helpless
to attack by foreign foes.
They have no sympathy with those who
believe that understandings and open coven-
ants of peace, indeed the habit of agreement
rather than the habit of disagreement, may
remove the danger of wars. And when some
one with such an idea gives voice to it, the
cry is raised that he must not be permitted
to speak at all.
This particular organization is often mis-
led by those who prey upon its fears. Re-
cent Investigations by congress have shown
that some of these fears, at least, have been
inspired by gentlemen who wish to profit
from the building of battleships and employ
Shrewd lobbyists to create bogie men to
brighten the tinl:d.
The real danger to this country comes
from within, not from the outside. 1t comes
from those who would throw away the free
dom of the press through judicial encroach-
ments and cenSorships. 1t comes from those
who would make the policeman the judge of
the educated speaker and lay the heavy hand
of the law upon him who dares to utter a
new theory or new thought, even though
the new idea is but plea for old principles.
The sinister aspect to the incident is the

Cookers

| CUMMING up his discussion OF
- the utilization of solar energy.
DR.. Abbot writes;
eve have noted various devices,
which singly or in combination, have
been employed by numerous inven-
tors for the utilization Of solar heat.
"They comprise first a large sur
face for receiving the suns rays.
This may be fixed in a horizontal
or other preferred position, or pro-
excessively inclined by suitable mech
anism to suit the position Of the
sun.
"In the former case the surface
is blackened to promote absorption,
and the heat thus derived is COM
municated to some liquid for do
nestle use or for the running of a
low temperature heat engine.
More commonly mirrors Tor
sometimes lenses or prisms) are
provided for concentrating the rays
to an approximate focus.
"At the approximate center OF
concentration Of the rays is located
a heater for the ore to be reduced
or the liquid to be vaporized.
at seems highly probable that
solar cooking utensils, combined
With water heaters and heat reser-
voirs, and embodying the "f1reless
cooker" principle, will come into ex-
tensive use.
"For II is not hard to see that
very inexpensive apparatus may be
designed for combining these utili-
ties and that housekeepers will wei
come a relief from the hot kitchen
condition of summer.
Good designing, avoiding coetl'
and complicated construction anc
devices likely to require frequent
attention, combined with fuller
knowledge Of the properties Of ma
terials available, and cleverneSs ir
adapting means to promote efficient
results--these If supported by a
moderate outlay Of money for ex-
perimental work, may perhaps soon
make the utilization Of solar energy
very extensive"

What were the results Of the War
of Roses in England?
The Wars Of the Roses were
fought between the adherents Of the
House Of York and the House of
Lancaster, rival branches Of the
royal family Of England, for the
possession of the crown. Among
the noteworthy results we're: l. The
ruin Of the baronage Of England.
One-half Of the nobility were slain.
Those that survived we're ruined,
their estates having been wasted OF
conflscated during the progress Of
the struggle. Hardly a great house
retained its old-time wealth and
influence. 2. The war marked the
final downfall Of feudalism in Eng
land.
Are the North American rattle
snakes poisonous?
The rattlesnakes, Of which there
are about eighteen species In North
America, are venomous in varying
degrees. The timber RATHER Of east
ern North America is one of the
largest and also one of the most
venomous. The copperhead and
cottonmouth and massassauga are
likewise poisonous. A small species,
the coral snake. found in Florida,
has poison which is like that Of the
