Militarism Is a Men

1 BELIEVE that militarism and
everything pertaining thereto
ultimately brings about the con
dition for which it was intended,
and instead of increasing our mili
tary equipment, thereby necessitat
ing our people
to burden them
selves by replen
ishing our al
most depleted
treasury, we
should lay the
foundation for
all countries to
lay down their
arms and aban
don warfare.
Militarism U
a menace to in
trialism and in
one year will de
stroy more than
can be produced in twenty.
I expect to spend my life in un
dermining the forces which bring
.about the present inefficient living
conditions. The battle of life sure
ly is hard enough without participat
ing in the buttles of war.
In so far as the idea of physical,
development is concerned, no mili
tary drill can be better than our
popular sports, such as baseball, to
gether with sanitary working con
ditions.
A BATTLE BETWEEN NATIONS IS
A WAR BETWEEN THE EXPLOIT
ERS AND HUMANITY, WHICH HAS
SUFFERED LONG UNDER EXPLOI
TATION.
FISHERMEN ARE
RATER HERDES
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, March 21. •— The herring
fishermen are counted high up among I
the war heroes by the housewives of |
Paris. Braving submarine menaces in j
the most dangerous zone, they have j
caught enough herring this season to
drive the smoked variety down from |
three and one-half cents to two cents j
a pound; it enjoys the distinction o£ j
being the only provision that has gone
back to normal prices.
The mysterious migration of the
herring brings it in immense shoals
from the North Sea into the Kngllsh
channel, and along the coast of Nor
mandy at the beginning of October of
each year, to disappear in February
somewhere of fthe mouth of the Seine. I
In the meantime their feeding ground
Is the same as that of the German
submarine.
Precautions were taken to protect
the fishing fleet this year and its
work was unhindered and prolific.
Only once, at the beginning of the
season, did a submarine emerge in
the midst of the fleet. It found it
prudent to plunge again without at
tacking.
The fleet was ordered to keep out
of the North sea this year, which
shortened the season three months out
of a total of seven, yet the catch is
estimated at 30,000 tons as against
45,000 tons in a normal year.

SACRAMENTO, March 21. — If
somebody yelled that quatrain down
the Imperial valley today the melon
growers would be in an awful fix,
because they have a hundred million
____lady .bugs., working, .lot them_killing
off undesirable insects. Agents of the
state bug house spent weeks up in the
• mountains this year gathering the lit
tle red ladies with the speckled
backs, who are considered particularly
effective against the gentlemen bugs
who attack the growing cantoloupe.
The California lady bug is getting
quite a world-wide reputation. Some
several millions of her have been
shipped to Italy and Australia for ex
perimental purposes. _

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21. —
While wrestling Is still in bad odor
in the Pacific Northwest, California
has taken the sport back Into its
good graces, and the diversion has
gone a long way tow'ard filling the
breach made by legislating profes
sional boxing out of existence.
Bouts with a time limit, and with
a decision in the event no falls have
brought crowds ranging from five to
twelve thousand spectators in San
Francisco. I,os Angeles is also stag
ing many matches among the matmen.
The interest thus aroused in the state
already has resulted in bringing to the
coast eastern wrestlers of note.
Officials at fish hatcheries in sev
eral of the mountain states recently
have announced that they would place
a million or more fish fry from each
of several hatcheries In the streams
of the region as soon as the spring
weather caused the annual freshen
ing. The fish are of several species,
but mainly of trout and other game
varieties. A large portion of the eggs
from which they were hatched were
taken from fish captured in the
Rocky mountain watershed.
Prospects for a winning track team
at the State College of Washington at
Pullman, were enhanced by the return
of Al Miller, captain and sprinter of
the State College track team. Miller
has been considered one of the best
sprinters in the northwest. McClung,
sprinter; Smith and Woodruff, dis
tance men; Price, broad jumper;
King, weights; Schactler, 440 man,
and Witt, hurdler, all former letter
men, form a nucleus around which to
build a strong team.
Nick Williams, manager of the Spo
kane club of the Northwestern Base
ball League, is conditioning his 1917
baseball machine at Stockton, Cal.,
where the Spokane Indians are peel
ing off surplus flesh. The 1916 flag
winners of the league have been dis
rupted by sales and drafts, but Mc
Ginnis, Ilarstad, Webb, Noble, Har
per and Murray of the old team are
under contract. Williams reported
that he has signed a “small army of
bushers.”
One of the most enthusiastic quin
tet of bowlers in Spokane is the Row
les family, consisting of G. W., the
father, and his sons, Edward, Frank
and Harry.
All are members of the same league
and all will compete in the Spokane
bowling championship. Frank is cap
tain of the White Sox team of the
Knights of Columbus league, of which
both his father and brother, Jack, are
members. Harry is captain of the
Federals and Edward is a member
of the Westerners.
The father, G. W. Bowles, is now
wearing a beard as a result of losing
a bowling match. Recently he agreed
with another veteran bowler to roll
a series of games, the loser to wear
a beard for a year. Mr. Rowles lost.
The Great Falls, Mont., team of the
Northwestern Baseball League is to
be financed this year by dances. Al
ready the directors and stockholders
have arranged for the first series of
five dances, the proceeds to be used
for the benefit of the baseball team.
The Athletic Council of the Wash
ington State College has voted to hold
the annual interscholastic track meet
of 1917 under the auspices of the
State College at Pullman on Friday,
May 11.
Twenty men have answered the call
of Coach Jerry Nissen for track this
season at the University of Montana.

Speculation In Stocks No
More Gambling Than
Other Business Ventures
By HENRY CLBWS, Fin.neisr
*
1 UNHESITATINGLY register
my conviction that speculation
in stocks as conducted in the
New Y'ork Stock Exchange is no
more gambling than speculation in
real estate or merchandise. When
the merchant buys goods he makes
a venture the success or failure of
which only the future can deter
mine. The most legitimate business
is that of the farmer, but even
farming is speculation. A CHILL
ING FROST OR AN INSECT
PEST CAN DESTROY IN A DAY
THE WORK OF MONTHS.
Speculation is a science. There
is a great difference between the
speculator und the gambler. Specu
lation requires judgment and knowl
edge, based on the complex rela
tions which enter into values. The
matter of supply and demand, the
weather, politics, a thousand and
one things, have to be considered
by the speculator.

ENGLAND LIKELY
WEAR CLOGS
(By United Press)
LONDON, March 21. — England,
faced with an acute leather shortage,
is adopting wooden shoes, commonly
known in the Netherlands as clogs.
This situation, which before the war
would have been hooted by John Bull,
today is faced calmly. Measures have
been taken looking toward the devel
opment of the already established
busines sof making clogs. To quote
the Textile Mercury, of Manchester,
on the subject!
Hundreds of London school child
ren are now wearing clogs, which cost
about three shillings a pair (73 cents),
and London County Council school
teachers have been providing dogs for
ill-shod pupils, who have been paying
for them by weekly installments of
three pence.
The price of leather, states a writer
In the paper mentioned, suggests that
the city man of the future will clatter
to business in clogs. "For country
wear one can buy an elegant pair of
lace-up dogs at a quarter the price
of equally efficient boots." Apart
from the attention that they would at
tract, there is no reason why these
should not be worn in "town.” There
is nothing undignified in the clog worn
by the Lancashire or Yorkshire tex
tile worker. Not a few of the captains
of the textile industry have themselves
worn clogs, and some at least would
not be ashamed to wear them again.
The present home demand is so
great that an order for 100,000 pairs
of sabots for the Belgian government
has just had to be declined by a Brit
ish clog making firm.

NEW FIELD NDW

LAWRENCE, Kan., March 21. —
Women bacteriologists are preferred
to men in comparatively many labora
tories, and for that reason bacteriol
ogy is offering a new field for worn
en| Several women .bacteriologists
From the University of Kansas now
are bacteriological diagnosticians in
big hospitals or are doing bacteriolo
gical work in other laboratories.
Every few months the university
receives a call for a woman bacteri
ologist, but the demand for such wo
men workers far exceeds the supply,
says Dr. F. H. Billings, professor of
bacteriology In the university. Bac
and accurate effort and peculiar deft
ness that makes women particldarly
efficient in bacteroioglcal work. Uni
versity bacteriologists point out that
the work offers a chance for original
research work and thus, in addition
to the fair salaries paid, give a novelty
and chance for personal development
that teaching does not offer a woman.
The work requires at least two years'
study of bacteriology.
There are about 20 women study
ing bacteriology in the University of
Kansas. Any woman taking up bac
teriology should have at least one
term in chemistry.
