SCIENCE SHOWS ITS MARVELs

OO1E4NOE cI1OWO LID MAX V Els
CCIENCE that has remade the world in the
- last hundred years is glorifed at Chi
Cages Century of Progress exposition
First of all, the very ground upon which
the miles Of buildings rest was created out
of the shallow water of Lake Michigan by an
engineering operation
Then for the last three years engineers
worked at designing and rearing the build
ings to serve for six months and then be de-
molished much like the SETTINGS of movie
city. Yet, while it lasts, the Century of Prog
ress city will entertain millions of visitors and
exhibit millions of dollars worth of displays
and treasures. 1t will serve millions of meals
Adequate fire protection must be provided and
hundreds of police, guides and other person
mel will inhabit the exhibition city during the
exhibition hours.
Some Of the buildings strike new notes in
modern architecture The bright hues of
many-colored paints are spread over the
pylonS, towers and walls, and unusual light
ing effects blaze their contribution to the fairs
decorative scheme at night.
Within the exhibition buildings and in out
door exhibits, the imprint of science upon
our everyday life is exempliied
From the hemspherical planetarium at the
northern corner to the gigantic transportation
hall near the southern end of the exposition's
expanse there awaits the visitor liberal edu-
cation in science and its effects on human life
The Hall of Science, to which the cross
hammered court of honor of the principal en-
trance leads directly, contains an array of
mechanical, self-operating demonstrations and
exhibits in chemistry, biology, physics, medicine
and the earth sciences.
For nearly three years corps of scientists
worked at designing, planning and building
these exhibits, which are arranged in galy
painted booths upon wide aisles In some cases
the visitor or attendant pushes a button and
the machine goes through it's cycle of demon
strating basic science principle. In other
cases the exhibit methodically carries out it's
demonstration every few minutes without the
prodding of button pushing
Some of the machines talk their messages
by means of sound film or phonograph ar.
tachmentS, while others use more prosaic labels
in ordinary or transparent lettering. Lantern
slides automatically projected are parts of
many demonstrations
Giant electric machines automatic tele-
phones and switchboards and the thousands of
devices developed by science and used in COM
mun1cation or the electrical arts, are displayed
IN the great halls of communication and cleo
tricity
Here the large electrical manufacturers. the
telephone and telegraph companies have their
exhibits. Everywhere you turn you see the
wonders of science

AN EXAMPLE FOR EUROPE

president ROOSEvELT's comment on
his arrival at Campobello island, just
across the Canadian border-that Norman
Davis should tell the disarmament delegates
at Geneva just what an unfortiied interna-
tional border looks like-is one which all
citizens of the United States and Canada can
indorse.
That long border, when you stop to think
about it, is one of the most remarkable things
in all the world. Not fort not warship.
not cavalry patrol from one end of it to
the other; not one citizen in either land who
feels the slightest need for such thing; was
there ever. in all history, an example of in
ternational neighborliness like thisP
To be sure, the United States and Canada
have had their differences They have even,
in the dim past, gone to war with each other.
But they have learned how to settle every
thing peaceably and their example is a shin
ing light that other nations very prohtably
might try to copy.

MOVING TO DISASTER

A S the world disarmament conference puts
of until October the task of reaching
some sort Of agreement, Secretary of the Navy
Swanson announces a plan to build the United
States navy up close to treaty strength, and
once again it becomes painfully evident that
the job Of cutting down the worlds military
establishments is almost imposSibly difficult.
There are more men under arms today
than there were in the spring of 1914 The
worlds annual expenditures for national de-
Tense are far higher today than they we're in
1914
The suspicious, fears, and jealousies which
led up toathe war in 1914 are duplicated today
by emotions equally strong and equally
dangerous.
Last winter General Douglas Macarthur.
United States army chief of staff, compiled
some figures on the worlds armies He showed
that Europe. Japan, China and the United
States are keeping total of 62o7,5SS men in
uniform

air fleets and border defenses, these nations
are spending around s4,oOO,oooooO year.

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION

CELDOM have the old and the new types
- of sea travel been more sharply con-
trasted than was the case during President
Roosevelt's recent vacation trip to Campo
belo island
The northward trip was made by sailboat.
George Washington himself, if he had been
so minded, could have made that trip in al
most exactly the same way.
His schooner wouldn't have been stocked
with canned goods and it wouldn't have been
traled by destroyers, but in essentials, it would
have been the same sort of boat, handled in
exactly the same way.
But the homeward trip, made via the
cruiser Indianapolis, was the last word in
modern sea travel. No ship afloat is kept as
religiously up-to-date as a warship, and
the indianapolis is the newest OF the new
Had the President come back on the new
airship Macon itself, his homeward trip
hardly would have differed more from that
leisurely cruise on the Amberjack IL

100000, and the total military expenditures
NO.. aho,.. e sno nnn nnn a-....aii-

100000, and the total military expenditures
were about $4,000, 100000 annually.
Those facts in themselves are dismaying
enough. But when you contrast them with the
high promises all world statesmen made their
people during and Immediately after the war,
the situation becomes even more discouraging
We were told, then that the nations of the
world would make a new effort to keep the
peace. The League of Nations would help settle
disputes; there would be non-aggression treat
les, arbitration agreements and what-not to
make war less likely; the frightful sacrifices of
the World war would be justified by the fact
that no such war could ever happen again
Into the Versailles treaty was written the
pledge that the World war victors would dis
arm just as soon as they possibly could.
And today disarmament looks farther away
then ever, armies are bigger than ever, and
more gold than ever before is being laid on the
altar Of the god of war
What's the answer? Will we stumble blindly
along until at last We trip into worse war
than the last one-or will we finally insist that
statesmen live up to their promises and give
us the disarmament they have promised?

SLUM CONFERENCE

THE national slum clearance conference
l. opens in Cleveland today
1t is the first meeting of the kind to be
held anywhere since passage of the national
recovery act and it is a meeting of tremendous
Importance in relation to some aspects of that
legislation.
The federal administration has time and
again demonstrated its conviction that in slum
clearance lies one of the great possibilities of
the times, not only as a means of putting
great numbers of men unemployed to work,
but also of permanently improving the stand
ards of living in this country.
Cleveland hopes to be among the first cities
to embark on a large scale slum clearance and
rehousing project. In the final formulation
of its own plans, it will have the benefit of
direct contact Of foremost thinkers on this
subject from all over the country.
Cleveland through the real property inven-
tory conducted by its real estate board, and
through the leadership and interest of many
prominent citizens, has gone farther than any
other city in building up an enlightened pub
lie opinion on this subject.
The time to face the difficulties and OBJ
stacles in slum clearance is before work starts,
instead of afterward. Many points of view
will be presented in the conference beginning
there today.
There is reason to hope that, when the
conference closes, great progress will have
been made toward a common agreement on a
comprehensive plan applicable to needs of
all cities of the country.

THURSDAY JULY. 6. 1898
100000 A DAY

A N aroused public opinion and the new
vital tax problem is speeding prohibition
repeal toward final passage this year. Viz
ginias summons for a special legislative ses-
sion in August to pass repeal election and
beer laws is a major victory. Oklahomas
legislature now is in special session. and
Colorados is expected to meet this month.
These three states, and four others,
Florida, Missouri Montana and Utah, which
have provided for repeal elections. but with
out fixing dates so far, will decide major
taxation question for the whole country.
Sixteen states have ratified repeal, and
seventeen others have elections set for this
year If the seven states listed above hold
elections this year-a total Of forty-ratifca-
ton by the necessary thirty-six seems GER
tain before Christmas.
II ratification is cOnsummated before
Jan. /, President Roosevelt under the law,
will discontinue as of that date the
$227000OOO unemployment taxes imposed by
the national recovery act Liquor taxes will
raise double that amount, it is estimated
Some contend that repeal will bring in
$2OOQO0O a day in taxes.
But if repeal is delayed by the drys tao
tics, the taxes per cent of every dividend
payment, one-half a cent ON every gallon of
gasoline, etc.-will under the law be con-
tinued through all the calendar year 1884
This is a major reason why repeal, GER
tain in the long rum should prevail in 1888
The fundamental rightness of repeal as
social reform has been demonstrated abund-
antly by the sixteen representative states
which already have cast ballots of almost
four to one against national prohibition

sodium stearate and glycerine, to-
gether with rosewater and perfume.
Sometimes the fat is replaced by
almond oil, wax or gelatin. The
chief value of many creams Of this
type is the fact that they are rubbed
in, which aids circulation of the
blood in the skin, and serves as a

They are known as motor creams.

Using of creams which have irradi-

There is not the slightest reason
for believing in the special virtues
OF these preparations. If they con-

effect, they are dangerous,
If they merely are subjected to ir-
radiation, the proof is not available
that this accomplishes any good.
1t has been argued that irradiated
creams and greases have special

RUSSIAN RECOGNITION NEARs

ONE would not have to be exactly daring
to predict that normal diplomatic rela.
lions will be in existence soon between the
governments of the United States and of
Soviet Russia.
delicate little hint was given when Presi-
dent Roosevelt issued his famous conamunica-
ton to the governments of the world sew
eral weeks ago.
Among the world leaders to whom that
communication went was the Russian execu-
tive, who never has had any legal existence
as far as our state department. is concerned
On top Of that, American delegates at the
London conference were observed in close
communication with Russian delegates
And a little later it was announced that
the R. F. c. will finance series of loans bv
which American exporters will be able to sell
between $4,000 and 10000 bales of cotton to
Russia
One hardly is being rash in anticipating
that formal recognition will logically follow
these steps before very long.

A Woman's Viewpoint

a MEXICAN women are entirely
L n too preoccupied with them
selves. Perhaps this is why so many
Of them believe that men also are
continually preoccupied with them.
I've known those who threw per-
feet fits every time their husbands
profeSsed desire to leave home for
an evening. They jumped immedi-
ately TO the conclusion that there
was a bold hussy in the offing. And
no. excuse, no explanation a man
cam make is able to dissuade this
kind of wife from her pet peeve.
1t seems to me that this is a very
pernicious form of selfishneSS.
Therefore, one of the courses I
would advocate in the education of
young women is study of the nature
of man.
Our civilization, you see, is domi-
