could and began to intone his salutation.

Just Every Day Sense
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

T@AOS perhaps the oldest settlement in this co,ln-
4 try, slumbers contentedly under a brilliant sun
Hundreds of artists have tried to put its color and
vividneSs and charm upon canvas and its Indians
have inspired writer's and poets.
The lives of an inhabitant of the Taos Pueblo and
the average tourist who peers nQusitively into his
dark doorways are separated by centuries. What
thought must engage the minds of the brown as
they watch the curious whites and their queer ac-
tivities
One artist, Blanche Grant has caught something
of this bewilderment and the picture she has done
about it is sermon in oils 1t is the portrait of a
young Indian one of the few from this region who
took part in the World war.
Dressed in gaiy colored bonnet he posed
after his return and his eyes question the meaning of
an American trench helmet his souvenir that he
holds in his hands.
How far has civilization travelled from the print
tive? Not hairs breadth, If you take into
sideration From the war bonnet to the trench helmet
Is but step, and that step is backward.
MO Indian ever fought for such foolish causes as
Y those that engage the martial enthusiasts of
the white In his native state he was not the
boodthrsty individual that he frequently has been
pointed
And when he did fight he fought only for those
rights which he knew to be his-the right to hunt
over his mountains and plains; the right to fish in
the streams that watered his land and the right to
dwell peacefully in those regions where his fathers
lived and died
Historians have reviled him because he used poi
soned arrows because he took scalps and sneak
ing upon his foes. He has been accused of dupcity
and treachery. But are We who criticiSe, any more
noble, any less reprehensible?
We have improved upon the Indians poisoned ar
rows ana use poisoned gas. We do not scalp each
other in hand-to-hand combat. We blow our fellow
men into atoms by the thousands, drop bombs upon
innocent noncombatants and sneak through the ocean
waters IN submarines. We are civilized.

1T SEEMS TO ME BY HE ET01fS

After the sun goes, one finds him
self caught up in sort of little
theater movement.
1t then is tiny stage upon which
he moves. The walls come close.
The sky is scarcely a foot above
his head, and from it fall lamps, so
that he must dodge as best he can

But night does more than hem
you in. l find it disturbing to see
only such things as lie within ten
feet and at the same time hear
noises from far down the ridge and
across the valley.
I never did like noises that popped
out of ambush. I think the crickets
ought to stand up like men and be
counted, and not sink in closer and
closer, crawling on their bellies and
making menacing noises.
A dog which barks at noon may
be an annoyance, but when he
happens to be a mile off he is no

1t is not possible for the average
person to diagnose the presence of
nasal polyps for himself.
The condition can, however, be
diagnosed by physician following
an examination of the nose, in
which he looks directly into the ma
sal cavity, stretching the nostrils
and using the headlight, to obtain
an Illuminated view of the appear
anceS.
Sometimes the polyps form in the
sinuses rather than in the nasal
cavity itself.
Under such circumstances q ply
sician can detect their presence by
injecting into the sinus a substance
which is opaque to the X-ray, such
as lipiodol.
Then an X-ray picture is taken
and this reveals the presence of the
tumor or growth inside the sinuses,
preventing their filling completely.

Chemical Industry

TIME chemical industry is making
Il another kind of electric finger.
a finger sensitive to heat or cold.
Electric noses and mouths are also
used in the chemical industry.
Many chemical reactions proceed
best at certain temperatures. It no
longer is necessary to have attend
ants watch such processes.
Electric controls, not unlike the
thermostats which many house
holders now use to control furnaces,
do the trick.
The electric noses" are devices
which correspond to the formation
of certain gases. These gases are
drawn into tubes in some of the de-
vices.
Various types are required for
various purposes. In some, it is
simple matter of the gas, when it
reaches a certain pressure, pushing
a valve or piston which in turn
closes an electric switch.
In others. the action is more COM
plicated, the gas reacting with sub
stances in the tube, thus changing
their resistance to the flow of an
electric current and actuating the
proper switch in that matter.
The electric mouths are similar
devices. They respond to what
might be called tastes that is to
concentrations of acids, alkalis, salts,
and so on.
The electric eyes is the we'll
known photo-electric cell. Many
automatic devices are, of course, the
combination Of several instruments.
Thus. for example, photo-elec-
trio cell can be used to operate a
whole battery of relays, each of
which controls another automatic
process.
It may sound like a rash predic-
ton. But many engineers believe
that the day is not distant when a
factory will turn out automobiles
enirely automatically.
The factory will need only few
attendants to make sure that the
machines are in order.

More Imnerialism

American Imperialism in Haiti dies hard. The
treaty restores Haitian Liberties with hand
end takes them back with the other.
Nominally the treaty provides that the occupation
by United States marines will end not later than
Dec 81 1894 But other sections provide that with
drawal will begin not later than that date. The
navy department in Washington says that marine
Withdrawal would require at least year. and prob
ably longer after it began"
So much for the joker in the treaty But that
is little compared with the joker in the exchange
of notes which becomes legal reservation to the
treaty. There it expressly is set forth that:
while it is the definite intention of the two
governments to carry out the program set forth in
the agreement for the INFLAMMATION of the garde
Irrational guard, it is realized that it might prove
impossible to carry out this program at the times
fixed if serious disturbances or other difficulties in
Haiti now Unforeseen should arise to prevent its
execution"
That throws the door wide open for notification
of the treaty by the United States if the state de-
partment decides that difficulties require further
American military rule
Likewise the American financial dictatorship is
to continue. Nominaly, financial control is TO be
restored to the Haitian government by withdrawal
of the American receiver general of customs and
financial adviser.
Btu protocol is added to the treaty which pro-
vides for appointment of fiscal representative and
deputy fiscal representative, both nominated by the
President of the United States who will have COM
plete power over customs and internal revenues
About the only change is in title of the officials.
These American dictators to continue in power
until the outstanding American Indebtedness of
S1415OOOO is retired not later than 1912 But since
further funding borrowing by Haiti is probable
before expiration of ten years the American financial
control doubtless will continue indefinitely
This is a shameful outcome for all the administra
ton ballyhoo Of the two years about restoration
of Haitian independence. There is no justification
for our Imperialism in that country.
There is no more reason for United States troops
to maintain order or protect American capital in
Haiti than in any other Latin American country.
There is no more reason why our government repre-
sentatves should act as financial dctators in Haiti
than in any European country which happens to
have borrowed money from American bankers.

vened We should give her back her freedom The

THE remarkable advances of
Il electrical engineering have
paved the way for a true Machine
Age, not an age in which man is
enslaved by the machine, but an
age in which the machine does its
own work by itself.
Electrical engineering has opened
the way for such an age by supply
ing man with electric eyes, electric
ears, electric noses, electric mouths,
and electric fingers.
The dial automatic telephone
represents prophecy Of what the
new Machine Age will be like. The
old manual telephone switchboard
was a sample of the Machine Age

Chorus Of the Frogs

lust a bit beyond Linger Lane
y lies Hale Lake, where the frogs
live. I used to think it was the
moon which set them to pickering
but now I know they are Indifferent
to weather. They croak on white
nights and black. Nor is there ever
a postponement on account of wet
grounds.
Some day next winter I plan to
go to the lake and after cutting a
hole in the ice shout down to them
rs it cold enough for you?" But
I want some more immediate re-
venge.
The adjustments of nature I find
most inadequate. If this were an
orderly universe, the frogs would
eat the crickets. The engaged cou-
pie who ride about all night in the
reconstructed Ford car would run
over and kill the barking dog.
AS matter Of fact, I don't act
ually know that they are engaged,
but it seems to me that it is up to
the young man to do something to
make an honest runabout of that
automobile.
Suppost there came a night upon
which the apple tree ceased to pes
ter, and Hopeless slept at home, and
there was no wind, and frogs and
cricksts became dumb-would 1 then
be satisfied?
The answer is-"No." On that
night I would turn and toss and

TINE nose, like many other organs
l. of the body, is lined with tissue
called mucous membrance that Sc
cretes mucus.
Sometimes these cells overgrow
and when they do little tumors are
formed which hang down into the
nose and interfere with breathing;
also by the obstruction they cause
they may aid in setting up infection.
Hence, it is desirable that they be
removed.
Sometimes even after they are re-
moved they come back, and since
the exact cause of such tumors is
not known, there is nothing to do
but keep on removing them.
In general, the causes of tumors
are not known definitely although
certain contributory factors are
recognized.
