away on schedule. Enckes comet has just returned.
This comet most frequently returning of all
comets comes back to the neighborhood of the sun
every three and third years. 1t just has been
spotted, schedule, by DR.. Hamilton M LETTERS OF
the Lick Observatory in California.
Enckes comet has an orbit smaller than that Of
any known comet A group Of about fifty comets
are known the Jupiter comets. This is because
one end of their orbits goes around the sun while
the other end is in the neighborhood of the orbit Of
Jupiter But Professor A. c. D. Crommelln, famous
British authority doubts whether Enckes comet can
be classed in this group This because the farther
end of this comets orbit is about 900000O0 miles in
side the orbit of Jupiter.

N frequently seems to comet out When a
comet begins to approach the solar neighborhood 1t
does not have any tail It appears in the telescope
merely fuzzy spot Of light.
AS the comet draws nearer to the sun the tail be-
gins to develop. The tail at all times points away
from the 1t is now believed that the tail is a
stream of gaseous material continuously driven out
of the comets head by the action of the sun and
continuously diSsipated into space.
This is supported by the fact that the tails
of comets are not quiescent. In some cases, great
envelopes of material have been observed to break
away from them.
Dr. Crommelin gives 200 years as about the aver

comets have been known to break in two and dlsin-

shaped and split in two The twins were seen in
1852

two comets. One Of them, Tuttles comet, takes
thirteen ard three ourths years to 60 around its
orbit, and is due back in 1910 The other, Peters
comet was discovered ip 1916. Computation Of its
orbit showed it to be a Saturn comet, but astron-

MOST OF the blows YOU happen to get on your

But there are occasional bruises that require
more than merely passing attention for under the

complication. affecting a more tender part OF the
body.
ANY injury to the surface of the body caused
bv blunt object that does not break the skin uSu-
ally results IN bruse.
II there IS breaking of the skin and bleeding out
side the surface Of the body the condition is usually
called a liberation.
You should be we'll acquainted with most causes
Of bruises They result from actual blows with blunt
objects such as clubs or rubber hose whips. They
may result from humping into corners OF chairs or
tables. or from falls, or YOU may get them when
struck by falling objects.
II Is important that you make certain that bruise
i YOU get Is merely surface injury and that it
has not involved seriously any Of the internal or
gans such as brain. liver, spleen. bladder or similar
organs.
Instances are known in which the bladder filled
with fluid has ruptured following a blow which
seemed TO cause only a bruise of the surface.
In many instances the skull itself does not appear

scalp. vet there may be a severe conclusion Of the

A gradual bleeding from the broken part of the
liver eventually resulted much loss of blood that
the victim became unconscious and died.
For this reason. If ever YOU sustain A severe
blow on the surface of the body YOU should make
reasonably certain that the damage does not go be-
low the surface before undertaking any strenuous

The part industries play in the
city's sewage problem is reduced
to such simple quantities as each
hog killed at Kingan & Co., is

The Beveridge Paper Company,
if operating at the rate of fifty
tons of paper processed daily, is
equivalent to the per capita waste

A check made of Van Camps
Inc, pork and bean packers, shows
that on an April day, pork and
beans to the extent of 10000
pounds were packed. Wastes from
that pack are equivalent to fifty
persons a 1000 pounds, or the
wastes from a city of $500 resi-
dents.
All industrial wastes of detri-
ment to White river go through
the city sewers and receive treat

main exception is that of certain
wastes of the Beveridge Paper

permit that paper company to
dump its pulp wastes into the

was making"
This surely is an accurate ac-
count Of the mood in which the
country has asSented to the vast
powers conferred upon the Presi-
dent. It is also an accurate &C
count of the ways in which the re-
Sponsible leaders of the Repuh-
lican party have behaved. They
have dissented on this or that
policy But they have not OBJ
structed the passage of the legis-
lation or the administration of the
new laws and the Republican
members of congress have at no
time presented united opposi-
ton.
MIR. ROOT then goes on to say
1Vl that 1T now has become evil
dent that there will be a strong eff
fort, both in and out of Office, to
continue beyond the period of the
emergency and make permanent
some broad powers of government
which have been exercised hereto
fore upon no claim of justification
except as temporary experiments
to meet the emergency.
Many of these powers affect
materially the scope of individual
liberty, especially in business, the
obligation of contracts, and the
security of property as we'll as
against government as against
other individuals. The question
whether the American people are
willing to include in their perma-
nent system a grant of such pow
ers and to subject themselves per-
manently to such government
control has never been really con-
Sidered or discussed"
Mr.. Root concludes this passage
by saying that 1T is no party
matter. 1t is not to be deter
mined solely or chiefly by imme-
date effects. Our future social
organization and the permanence
of our national union may well be
at stake, for the proposal appears
to involve an abandonment of
limitations on official power,
which, rightly or wrongly, we have
considered essential to our free
government.
Surely it can be said Of Mr..
Roots own statement what he
himself says of Hamilton's great
state papers, that in its. spirit and
tone there is "freeGom from per-
sonal rancor and prejudice, that
there is a considerable appraisal
and respectful treatment of op-
posing arguments" and the con-
slant test of proposals by fair
recognition of the working of hui
man nature among the interests
and prejudices and habits of the
