WHY -
All Men Cannot Be Classed
“Free and Equal.”
All men are not created “free anil
equal.” In so far ns lids expression
refers merely to the political priv
ileges of United States citizens It mny
be both sound and useful. To rend
into It nny broader men rung, however,
would be objectionable to both social
scientist and biologist. Modern man
Is certainly not free In “he widest
sense of the term. The innumerable
things that go to make up the world
are nnmzlngly interdependent; man’s
behavior is constantly conditioned by
his surroundings, by his experience, by
the Interests of other men, by the ac
tivities of Innumerable other types of
living organisms, by the nonliving ma
terials and forces of his environment.
Only by certain concessions and ad
justments can mnn win for himself a
modicum of freedom.
As for equality, save for identical
twins, probably no two men have ever
been created with just the same he
reditary endowments. Our race Is a
grand mixture of hereditary qualities,
some good and some bnd. For the fu
ture of the race it Is very Important
that those with desirable hereditary
qualities have many offspring and that
those with highly undesirable heredi
tary qualities have none at all.—Chi
cago Tribune.
Why California Farmers
Owe Debt to Wild Gsese
Birds played strange roles in a typ
ical rye field in California last year.
The first part the birds played was
in early spring when a flight of geese
fed on the young rye in nn 800-acre
tract and brought about what farmers
thought was irreparable damage to the
crop.
As matters turned out, however, the
birds did no damage and possibly the
pruning process of their feeding may
have been a stimulant to the plants,
for the rye at harvest stood shoulder
high and was in excellent shape.
However, having reached this state,
the grain was attacked by an enemy
which threatened the entire crop. A
great infestntlon of r caterpillar of
the white-lined sphinx occurred and
the crop seemed destined to almost
complete loss through the activities of
this voracious feeder. Again the birds
stepped in, or perhaps It would be
better to say flew in, to the rescue.—
Washington Star.
Why Dust Is Harmful
Dust may look like so much dirt,
but It has devastating powers. The
government recently staged 12 experi
mental dust explosions nt the testing
station on the Department of Agricul
ture experimental farm at Arlington,
Vn., to demonstrate the deadly and
destructive power of certain dusts.
These tests also demonstrated meth
ods of protecting manufacturing plants
against structural damage by releas
ing dust explosion pressures through
properly proportioned vents worked
out by the chemical engineering di
vision of the bureau of chemistry and
soils. Grain elevntor dust, starch
dust, mills powder, soap dust, sugar
dust, wood dust, cork dust and other
dusts were exploded in the experi
ments In a miniature “factory.”
Why Called “Dunker*”
ine memuers oi ilib rengiuua sea
were called Dunkers or Dunkards from
their baptismal practices, the word be
ing derived from German “tunken,”
meaning to dip. They are also called
Timbers and Dippers. The sect was
founded in 1708 at Schwarzenau, in
Wittensteln, Germany, by Alexander
Mack and Is correctly known as the
German Baptist Brethren or simply
ns the Brethren. There are now sev
eral branches of the Dunkers. The
word from which the name of the sect
Is derived Is the same as that from
which “dunk," meaning to dip dough
nuts into coffee before eating them,
Is derived.
Why Some Bee» Are Queent
It now appears that the bees knew
all about vitamins long before the lat
ter became a matter of importance to
scientists. Two British scientists have
announced that the solution of the
age-old problem of why some bees
grow up to be queens and some to
be workers is that the bees add the
vitamin “E" to the iellv fed to pros
ORIGIN OF BASEBALL
Hyder has lots of baseball
enthusiasts but not many of
them appear to know how the
great American game started.
While baseball as we know
it is a sport of comparatively
recent development, a game in
which a tossed ball was batted
with a rude club has been
traced back bo the 14th cent
ury in Europe. The present
American game was probably
an outgrowth of that “town
ball,” played in New England
from about 1830, in which the
runs were made around posts
set in the ground, instead of
bases.
The first code of baseball
rules was formulated by the
muuivei uuiivei ciuu 'ui
York in 1845, the first match
game was played the following
year, and the first gate-money
series of games took place at
Hoboken in 1858. The devel
opment of the game was
checked by the Civil War, but
was revived in 1865, when a
convention was held at which
representatives of 30 clubs
were present.
A Rockford, 111., team first
employed regularly salaried
players, but the Cincinnati Red
Stockings, organized in 1868, is
! considered the first profession
al club. It made a tour in 1869,
j winning 69 games without
meeting a single defeat. In 18
170 it won 29 straight games,
oeing aeieaiea in me oum uy
the Atlantics of Brooklyn.
Gamblers having gotten con
trol of the game, a convention
was held in Louisville in 1876,
at which strict rules to over
come bribery, betting by play
! ers and other abuses were
adopted, and the National
j League was formed.
There are now more than 20
' professional leagues, Oif which
| the National and American,
j originally the West e r n,
! (formed by Ban Johnson in 18
93) are the two “big leagues.”
The most significant event in
baseball history was the ap
pectivp queens, while this vitamin is
not included in the diet of the larvae
that are destined to be workers. More
over, worker larva not more than
uirt'e uiija »iu uiuj uauoivimv.i
into queens by a change of diet, they
say.
Why Called “Witch Hazel’’
Tlie ori.Vnal and correct name of
tliis shrub Is “wych hazel," the name
being derived from Anglo-Saxon
“wyce,” meaning drooping. The simi
larity of the prefix to “witch" led peo
ple to believe that It was so named
because divining or witching rods
made from its twigs were reputed to
be efficacious In discovering water and
I minerals. Tims “witch hazel" has come
! to be one of the accepted spellings
of the name.
Why Launched Stern Firit
The practice of launching ships
stern first is not universal. On the
(treat Lakes many of the launchings
ere side launchings while the United
States navy has launched three ships
bow first. In former days launchings
were stern first and it is presumed
that n superstition or tradition was the
probable reason. In modern times
there are several technical advan
j tages in launching stern Brst.

WANTED TO BE FOOLED
I
Two Paris reporters recently
learned someithing about hum
an nature which they probably
did not know before. It was
that the old saying, “people
like to be humbugged,” is true
They gained admittance to a
private club in a small town
near Paris to witness a seance,
where an alleged spiritualistic
medium was scheduled ito per
form. Joining the circle they
saw dimly what was said to be
the “spirit” 'of a deceased
young woman. The reporters
seizeu nuiu oi xne spirit,
which iproved to be the medium
himself, clothed in a sheet.
The other witnesses of the se
ance became very angry, as the
reporters expeclted, but evi
denced their anger in an unex
pected manner. Instead of de
nouncing the fake medium, the
dupes beat uip the reporters
! and threw the mout of the club.
The Jack Wade district will
be active again this year and
a dredge will be installed by
the Walker’s Fork Develop
ment Company. The Walker’s
Fork Gold Corporation will al
] so do active development work,
! with Frank Knowdes in charge.
The Alaska Sea Foods Prod
ucts recently made a record
shipment of crab from Cordo
va. Part of the shipment was
destined for Seattle, the bal
ance for California.
In protest against the import
ation of Seattle-made railroad
ties for the Alaska Railroad, a
committee of twenty persons
set fire to a shipment of the
offending sleepers at Seward a
few days ago.
Infection resulting from the
bite of a squirrel necessitated
amputation of one finger from
the hand of Mrs. J. E. Thwaites
of Ketchikan a few days ago.
