DANGER in PAPER

THE Patman bill has created an
l. illusionment, particularly
among those whose wishes it serves.
The issuance of paper money with
which to pay the bonus does not
eliminate Or diminish the govern
ment's obligation.
Paper money is simply a demand
note which the government must
meet whenever the holder presents
it. In the final analysis, it is more
dangerous than bonds or treasury
certificates which mature on a fixed
date.
If this government were forced to
pay the bonus, it would be safer to
authorize bonds than issue paper
money. When a certain point has
been reached, it takes COM
paratively small amount of paper
money to demoralize government
credit.
That point can not be determined
by any system of bookkeeping yet
devised. 1t goes back to what people
believe regarding credit and
stability.

The White House documents issued today prove
of two things:
l. The President and his aids are guilty of loos-
ing on the country thousands of dangerous criminals
trying to overthrow the government instead of con-
Wcting and imprisoning these criminals when they
voluntarily gathered unarmed in Washington ready
for capture
2. The President and his aids in the cruel use
OF troops against unarmed citizens guilty of the
official hystera and violence which provokes the spirit
Of revolution.
We believe the latter is true. But in either case
the public will await with grave interest the promised
congressional investigation, now made certain by
these self-conVcting documents from the White
House.

ST. MIHIEL DRIVE BEGINS
Sept. IL.


ON Sept. IL 1918, the First
" American army, acting as a
unit for the first time in the war,
attacked the st. Mihiel salient and
advanced more than five miles on
a thirty five mile front.
St. NIihiel and several other
towns were taken during the adj
vance, preceded by one of the
heaviest artillery bombardments Of
the war.
More than 10000 Germans and
several hundred Austrians were
taken prisoners.
An entire train full Of ammuni-
ton and machine guns was taken
by the rapidly advancing Americans,
as it was getting ready to leave the
salient.
The Austrian prisoners captured
were part of a division sent to the
sector early in the year to replace
German veterans, who were sent to
the zone of the spring offensives.
British forces in Picardy resumed
the offensive, making important
gains, and gaining another foothold
in the Wanted Hindenburg line.

OF course, once astronomers be-
" gan to journey south of the
equator to study the stars of the
southern hemisphere, new constella-
tons had to be mapped out in that
portion of the heavens.
Some questions also Arose as to
the exact boundaries between the
consultations in the northern
hemisphere.
These questions would be of little
concern to the laymen, but were inn
portant to the astronomer who
wished uniform system for desig-
mating smaller stars which were
visible only in the telescope.
Finally, in 1910, the British Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence appointed to committee
headed by the great astronomer, Sir
John Herschel, to define the con-
stellations and set their exact
boundaries.
AS result Of the committees
recommendations, eighty-seven con-
stellations now are officially recog-
nized in the northern and southern
hemisr,leres.
1t is simple task TO get acquain-
ted with the more important con-
stellations of the northern hemi-
sphere.
One needs only a cloudless night
and an hour of leisure to make a
beginning.
Books giving the CONGREGATIONS of
the consultations are inexpensive.
They are, of course, available at the
public library. Star maps can be
purchased at prices ranging from 81
to IS, depending upon their elab-
orateneSs.
With book Of consultations or a
map the simpler consultations are
learned easily in an evening.

Old Hearts for New

OF late it has become fashion
" able along the edges of the ex-
IRENE left and the extreme right
to be pretty contemptuous of any
thing which can be tagged under
the label reform" Reactionaries
and revolutionistS sometimes join in
the old parrot cry, you can't
change human nature"
But who says so? Pontius PLATE,
maybe, and perhaps the King of
Babylon just before the hanging
gardens came tumbling down around
his ears.
Human nature has changed from
colonel to drummer boy a score of
times and will again. And the pos
sibility of a change of heart in
America is surely no dream Page
Bishops Cannon and Clarence True
Wilson if you think so.
A nation which finally has
switched about and decided that
man has right to beer will be
breaking no psychological precedent
if it goes on to decree that the same
rule goes for bread.

The Country Is HaUing All 1t
Can Do to Take Care of
Those in Actual Need,
Without Paying the Bonus
to Those Who. Do Not Need
1t at the Present Time.
NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-There
4 seems little doubt that the ma
tional convention Of the American
Legion, now opening at Portland,
Ore, will go on record as favoring
immediate payment of the bonus.
Though such action is opposed by
some of the Legion's ablest leaders,
more than one thousand of the
1,465 delegates have been commit
ted to it.
A profound change in sentiment
toward the bonus has taken place
among Legion members since last
year. This change can be traced
partly to the continuance of hard
times, partly to politics, and partly
to bungling by the administration
at Washington, especially in con-
nection with the bonus marchers.
AS an academic proposition there
can be no quarrel with the idea
that this government owes its vet
Grams a great debt, but circum-
stances require it to be considered
from more practical standpoint
at this time.
The country is having all it can
do to take care of those in actual
need. AS a matter of common
knowledge, it is not able to take
care of them as it should.

First CataI0g

THE first complete description or
l. catalog of the consultations
which we know of was made by q
Greek scientist who lived in the year
80 B. G. His name was Eudoxus.
He was one of the most brilliant
of Greek scholars. Besides being
an astronomer he was a mathe-
rnatician, physician and a student
of government affairs.
EudoxuS described forty-fiv con-
stellations in his catalog. We know
this, although the original catalog
was lost. The reason we know it is
because just 100 years later a Greek
physicians who happened also to be
poet, wrote a poem entitled
"Phainomena."
That is a Greek word which can
be translated as appearances" or
phenomena"
The poet-physician was named
AratuS. In his poem, Aratus re-
counted the system Of consultations
as cataloged by EudoxuS.
This poem was translated into
Latin several times, once by Cicero,
whose acquaintance the reader I'M
doubtedly made during his high
school class in Latin.
In about 1870 B. c. there lived a
famous astronomer and mathema-
tician in Alexandria, Egypt. His
name was Ptolemy.
He wrote a book known as the
Almagest, which was used as a text
book of astronomy and mathematics
for succeeding centuries until far
into the middle ages.
In this work Ptolemy added three
new consultations to those of Eu-
doxus, making a total of forty-eight.
Only slight changes have been
made in the consultations from the
days of Ptolemy to the present, in
so far as the stars of our northern
hemisphere are concerned.

IF there is any one feature of the
L human body that is distinctive
and personal, it is the character of
the blood.
Every one knows of the special
tests that can be performed to de-
termine the presence of disease,
such as the Wassermann test, blood
counting, and determination of the
red coloring matter.
Few people know. however, about
the more delicate reactions, such as
are involved when the fluid matter
of the blood of one person is mixed
with the red cells of the blood of
another.
Under such circumstances, some
times the mixing takes place with
out harm, but in other cases the red
cells may be dumped together in
what is called agglutination or in
other instances they may be dis
solved, described by the word

SCIENCE
Study Of Stars Is One That
Should Be Interesting to
Every One.
BY DAVID DIETZ :

Every One.
MODERN man buys his civiliza-
4V1 ton with a great price. The
business man who spends the ma
jority of each day in his Office has
traded the sun and the wind and
the hills and the trees for his ma
hogany desk, swiyel-chair, telephone
and filing cabinet.
But the wise man makes an eff
fort to recapture that close COM
munion with nature which has the
rich possession of his ancestors
who titled the farms and sailed the
vessels of pioneer America.
Particularly. he gets acquainted
with the stars.
The great thinker, Carlyle, once
exclaimed, why did no one teach
me the constellation when I was a
child?"
Carlyle realized that he missed
something in not knowing the stars
and consultations by name. Yet

And once acquired, it adds a new
richness to the great outdoors.
1t makes intimate friends out of
those twinkling, dancing points of
light we call stars.
Around each constellation, and
around each of the brighter stars,
there have grown wonderful legends.
some of them older than written
history, wonderful tales of ancient
gods and heroes.
The consultations were traced out
in the sky a long, long time ago.
Nobody knows how long ago.
AS far back as records of history
take us, we find the heavens divided
into the consultations.
All of the ancient nations INDUCED
in the practice of devfsing constel-
lations.. The system which we use
today has come down to us from
the Greeks by the way of the Ro-
mans.

conception of what they are about
The so-called holiday was doomed
to the same failure which met the
efforts of the wholesale lobby
around the doors of congress.
AS far as the specific intent was
concerned, both movements de-
served to fail. In neither case was
there any leadership which could
see beyond the temporary and in
effective bensfits. Both we're boot
strap demonstrations.
And yet with any luck good will
come out of these rather pitiful and
muddling attempts to mold new
society. There was no waste of eff
fort, in spite of the miSconception
of necessary detectives.
In Washington and in Iowa the
American public in mass formation
began to protest against the exist
ing order, which must grow and
deepen unless we are all mice. in
stead of men.
The most shameful fact of the de-
preston has been the patience of
those who have been the hardest
hit. I am afraid that we never will
get down to the root work of true
relief until that necessary job is
forced upon us by the pressure of
the dispossesSed and the discon-
tented.
Somebody Must Tell Them
THERE is no present leadership
i sensitive enough to foresee the
miseries and the absolute essentials
of tomorrow. We haven't yet caught
up with today. Nor with yester-
day, for that matter.
Distinctly these mass movements
have been of constructive nature.
The surface results are negligible.

TINE most hopeful indications OF
l. American economic recuperation
never are noted in any Of the
MANY bulletins which come from
President Hoover and his associates.
Indeed, these signs of returning
sanity often are viewed with alarm
by the engineers and firemen OF the
present administration.
It seems to me that the crimson
promise of a new and better day IS
contained chiefly in such happen
ings as the gathering of the B. E.
F. in Washington and the activities
of the striking farmers in Iowa ana
Nebraska.
1t is quite true that the members
of the ragged Anacostia expedition
were restless men who wanted some
thing and thought it was a bonus.
The President himself gave uncon-
scious support to the truly funda-
mental nature of the demonstration
when he declared that many OF the
men were not veterans at all, but
disgruntled radicals.
AS it happens, the report OF Mr..
Herbert Hoover was factually awry,
and yet in a laundering and round
about way the preserver of the faith
did manage to stumble upon a
truth.
Making Good a Doom
THERE was once prophet in a
L play by Dunsany who was
moved to make prediction OF
events to come out Of Scheming
head and not from an inspired
heart. But the gods made good his
prediction, even though it hap
pened to be synthetic and lnsin-
cere.
They set the rule that a prophet
could not lie, even though that
might have been his endeavor.
And so, perhaps, it is with Presi-
dents. Mr.. Hoover's nightmarish
account of dangerous rebels pound
ing upon the gate possibly can be-
come the actuality of another day.
There is no accuracy in the estl-
mate that neither the veterans of
the marshlands nor the farmers OF
the western plains have any clear

CHEERFUL BAND OF WAR VETERANS
 CONTINUE TRIP
On to Washington to De. mand Their Rights Two Third of Journey Already Completed
By LELAND l.. CHEsLEN United Press Stan Correspondent

Enroute to washington, D. C., Washington, Ind, May 25-(UP)- A sun burnt and cheerful band of 400 World war veterans pressed their crusade for payment of q soldiers bonus in a "big parade" toward Washington to-day. Two-thirds of the journey from Portland, Ore, was completed by free transport on freight trains and trucks. And the men crowded in 2 trucks and 16 automobiles provided by East St Louis, III, merchants. made light of the re- ports that 50 police and railroad detectives planned to prevent the army from capturing" another freight train here. Capture" of q train loaded with perishable freight at Casey vile, Ill, resulted in mobilization of six companies of militia but no violence occurred. Sheriff Jerome Munie, who requested the guards men, supplied truck transportation upon release of the freight train. Morale of the band which gained recruits at nearly every town was high. The pilgrims were reJoined by their commander r-in-chief," W. w.. Waters of Portland, Ore, at Sum ner, III. Waters left the group at East St Louis and went to Wash- ington, Ind.
 "Washington, Ind, is 100 per cent for us," was the word Waters brought back to his comrades. "1f we're as welcome at Washington, D. C.. the pilgrimage will be a suc- cess."
 He said the mayor of Washing ton, Ind, the police chief, Amerl- can Legion post and scores of citi- zens promised cooperation in the effort to obtain free freight car transportation.
 officials of the Baltimore X Ohio said, however, they had concen- trated 60 special officers there de- boarding 6 train.
 "We'Ii ride the B. & 0. and make them like it," the veterans shouted.
 Trouble had been feared at Vim cennes when Illinois state police escorting the veterans said they could not allow the trucks to go out of the state. But Police Chief I Thomas M. Martin of Vincennes and officer John Hamilton of the Indiana state police persuaded the Illinois officers to allow the party to proceed under their supervision.
 The military discipline of the band was maintained. Two vet erans were dismissed from the group when caught begging.
 There are four Companies" each with its commanding officer. All decisions are made by vote oi the members.
