The new discoveries Of science are
not always unmitigated benefits to
the human race. Only few years
have passed since modern chemistry
discovered an element called thai
lium. It was found to be related N

substances in the form OF q paste
which permitted its sale as q rat
poison. It's special value as poison
was due to the fact that 1t would not
warn a rat away by any special odor
or taste. It would severely depress
the heart and injure the nervous
system and thus produce death.
The very factors which made It
especially useful as q rat poison made
it dangerous to human beings, and
particularly to children. Some time
after the product was first intro
duced as a rat poison, it was found
to have the special virtue Of causing
the hair to fall out. Great numbers
of people are sorrowful because they
have hair on parts Of their body
where it should not be and because
constant shaving and the application
of various caustic substances are an
noying.

Baker and the League
Grand Forks Herald)

Newton D. Baker, secretary of war
in the Wilson cabinet, and a possible
Democratic candidate for president,
is opposed to the inclusion in the
Democratic platform of plank ia
voring American membership in the
League of Nations. Yet Mr.. Baker is
in favor of American membership in
the League, and he believes that it
will be brought about.
To some observers this attitude will
seem contradictory, and to some ad-
vocates of League membership it will
be disappointing. Yet it is not con-
Trajectory, and it need cause no dis
appointment. It is rather indicative
of clarity of thought such as does
not always characterize ardent sup
porters of particular public policies.
There is no prospect that member
ship in the League of Nations will be
presented as an issue for immediate
determination at any time in the near
future. That the League will endure
there is no reason to doubt, for it is
the only agency through which world
opinion can be brought to bear upon
any current problem. There is every
reason to believe, also, that the
United States will ultimately become
member Of the League, for it Is un-
thinkable that one Of the world s
three or four great powers should re-
main always outside an organization
through which alone the nations can
cooperate for the maintenance Of
peace and the promotion of human
welfare.
Under these circumstances dec
laration now with reference to the
League would be only a gesture, re-
Sulting in no immediate action, and
doubtful value in influencing the ma
tons course at any other time. There
are other problems now before the
country which are pressing. Some
Of them are Of a domestic nature and
some affect our foreign relations
Consideration OF congress and of the
country Is certain to be given to these
problems in preference to any others
Injection of the League issue now
would be confusing rather than con-
Structlve.
Without any commitments on the
part of the American government and
without action by congress, force Of

States into closer and closer coopera.

our government was so touchy on thu
subject that it did not recognize the
existence Of the League, even in cor.

We have progressed from that stage
until at present we are consulting

A New Traffic Problem

Among the many improvements
that automobile manufacturers have
built into cars in the last few years
IS higher speed capacity. Rapid ac-
celeration is the rule, now; so is the
ability to cruise along an open road
at mile-a-minute clip without suf-
fering from excessive noise and vi
bration.
But all Of this, evidently, has been
gift to motorists who aren't ready
for it yet. Our automobiles do their
job better than we do ours. We
aren't, on the whole, quite tit to be
trusted with fast cars.
This becomes evident from figures
on auto accidents recently compiled
by the Travellers Insurance company.
In 1881 automobile registrations In
the United States declined by about
2 per cent. The number Of traffic
accidents also fell off. Yet the num-
Der Of traffic deaths increased by
more than per cent, and the num-
Der Of severe but non.-fatal injuries
increased even more.
The insurance company's investi-
gators conclude that increased speed
was the factor chiefly responsible. 1t
Is hard to disagree with them.
The meaning Of this new trend i
clear. The odds OF death In an auto
accident have been shortened. In

This makes extremely unpleasant

The Eastern War Peril

Six months ago anyone who sug-
gested that there was any serious
danger Of the United States getting
into war in the Far East would have
been looked upon, quite properly, as
scatter Drained alarmist. Today he
would simply be considered a thought
full student of international affairs.
Thus far have the international ef-
fects Of Japan's adventure in Man
churia progressed - proving, once
more. that things happening in out
landishly named places beyond the
seas can touch our lives more directly
than we usually imagine.
OF course, no one In this country
wants a war-no one, that is, except
possibly handful Of empty headed
jingoes. Probably there never was a
time when the sentiment of the ma
ton was more thoroughly inclined
toward keeping the peace. And it
seems quite certain that the nation
can avoid a war if it wants to.
But it is imperative for us to rec
ognize, right now, that the situation
is serious. If we make ourselves look
at the fact that war is possible, we
can unite to make it impossible. If
We drift. along in fancied security
telling ourselves that the turmoil In
the Orient can't really mean any
thing especial to us, we might find
ourselves in the rapids before we
knew it.
Once the chance of war turns from
a remote possibility to an immediate
probability. it is too late to do any,
thing about it. The man who tries
to speak for peace can't get hear
ing. The time to work for peace is
now, when the danger Is only small
cloud on the horizon-remote, hardly
noticeable, but definitely ominous.
Meanwhile, we need to recognize
the fact that the government at
Washington is faced with an ex-
tremely tough problem. President
Hoover knows, as well as any man
alive, what frightful thing war is.
He can be depended on to chart a
course to lead the nation away from
it. In doing so, he deserves the
whole hearted support of all citizens
The president also must recognize
the duty which is imposed upon him
to see that the United States is ade-
quately protected. Even while we
long for peace we must remember
that, il we were as defenseless as
China, the japanese fleet might to-
day be hammering at the portals Of
Seattle or San Francisco.

The new secretary of com merce, Roy D. Chapin, has a particular interest to the peop- le of Alaska because of his SUD- ervision of the fisheries of the Territory and of the States, and of which he says: "Our Bureau of Fisheries fosters and protects a natural resource which supports an industry that is the means of livelihood for half a million of our peop- le." Over the radio the other evening, Secretary Chapin gave a very cheerful epitome of improved trade sentiment and predicted that With a distinct change in spirit in re- cent weeks, America is on the way to win the fight for eco- homie revival" He added, "There is no doubt that new and aggressive mood is grip ping the country; a mood more typical of American buoyancy and fighting spirit. The bar age of economic forces against us appears to be weak ening."
 Secretary Chapin sees a bas- is for recovery in the driving spirit of the people," plus measures being invoked by the Reconstruction Finance Corp oration, the Federal Reserve Board in credit expansion, and the Home Loan Bank Board.

A sculptor executes model; an arti- san called a stonecutter is usually the one to reproduce this model in marble Except for few finishing touches, the sculptor does not touch the marble re- production of his model. For example the stonecutters who are famous as the Piccirilli brothers actually carved the figure of Lincoln by Daniel Ches- ter French which is in the Lincoln me morial. It is true that certain of these brothers are so fine that they are above the artisan class and are among the well-known sculptors of the mod ern American school. Star.

The master clock, which makes prac- ticabe the use of electricity for accu- rate timekeeping, regulates the ire quency of the alternating current so that there is q definite number of al- ternations of current per second. The electric household clock has neither springs nor escapements, but in their stead is tiny synchrOnous motor, the speed of which is determined by the rapidity of the alternatons of current. The motor is connected by train of gears to the hands of the clock. In effect, the electric clock counts the alterations of current and translates them into seconds, minutes and hours.

How Bacteria Contribute.
 to Life's Continuation

With the death of plant or animal complicated chemical compounds are locked up in the body cell, and as such they are not assimilable as food by succeeding forms of life. If this condition persisted it would not take long for the available chemical ele- ments to become inaccessible to living forms, and life as it exists on the earth could not continue.
 Bacteria play part that allows the cycle of chemical substances to pro- gress. They unlock the cells of dead plants and animals so that simple compounds pass off into the air or soil and can then be used by other forms. This is done by bacteria pri- marily while they are making the food available to themselves, but is done far in excess of their own needs. It is accomplished by means of sub- stances secreted by the bacteria, and is commonly recognized as fermenta- tion, putrefaction, and decay. The success of this biological function de- bends on the presence of suitable moisture and temperature conditions, on the ability of many varieties of bacteria to take effective part, and on the ubiquity of capable bacteria. By this means bacteria aid in the con tinuation of life on the earth.

HOW
TREE AND PLANT "SEXES"

-A~ND t1<t-Nt SlsN MAY BE DISTINGUISHED.- In most plants the stamens and piStils are borne together in the same flowers, which are said to be perfect or hermaphrodite. In some cases, however, like birches and oaks, they are borne in sepa- rate flowers on the same plant, when they are said to be monoe- cious. In any case only the sta mems and pistils show structural differences connected with the diff terent sexes of the cells they pro- duce, and the plant itself shows no trace of sex. In a few kinds of plants, however, the staminate and pistillate flowers are borne upon separate plants (are dioe- cious,) in which case the plants are somewhat naturally. though not quite correctly, described as male and female. Ordinarily there is no determinable difference. aside from the flowers, between such plants, but occasionally, as in date palms, some willows and a few others, there is q marked diff ference in aspect between stami- nate and pistilate individuals. thus giving q structural basis to the terms male and female as applied to plants. Here, however. is the limit reached by plants ip their sexual differentiation, though the higher animals have gone little farther, for in them the male and female sex cells are always borne by different individuals, which are distinguished, not only by their very different sexual organs, but also by correlated differences in habits, occupations, disposi- tons, aspect, stature and other visible features.
