It would be folly for Germany to taka the initiative in proposing term nof peace.

BURTON become effective January 1. The decision, the longeet ever filed in the history of the court, containing 19,200 words, not only validates the initiative prohibition measures, but also specifically upholds the initiative and referendum amendment to the con stitution against the latest and most weighty of the objections brought against it. The effect of the decision is to ad judicate for ell time the validity of the direct legislation amendment. Since the same objection urged against the initiative and referendum nmuixlment, that of insufficient publi cation, could be urged equally against the woman suffrage and recall amend menta, the real effect of the decision also is to uphold these additions to the conatitutlon. The majority opinion was written by Judge Emmett N. Parker, with Chief Justice George E. Morris and Judges O. G. Ellis, 0. K. Holcomb. John K. Main and Wallace Mount concurring. There are no dissenting opinions, but Judge S. J. Chadwick notes, in a sep arata opinion, that he does not follow the reasoning of the majority, but yields « i s judgment and concurs in the result "not because it ia the law aa I had understood it, but because It has been so declared by a competent tri bunal.” T h e c a n d id a c y of fo rm e r 8 e n a t o r Judge M.

Believing their long years of wedlock hare qualified them aa ex perta on the subject, they have drawn up tha following recipe tor marital happiness- and the Chicago "Tribune" prints it: 1. Love each other all the time S. Keep silent when she wants to ar gue. 3. Keep silent when he wants to argue, 4. Use good common sense In times of depression. 5. Don't blame your husband when he's doing hta best. 6. Don't scold. 7. Have a few children playing around the bouse. This married couple have lived up to the seventh of their commandments and now that their own youngsters hare grown up they have aoven grand children and four great grandchildren And we notice thia detail of the re cipe: these rules are applied to both parties, not just to one of them. We haven't yet arrived at that stage of civilization wherein we honestly apply the Golden Rule In all life's everyday ralatlons, but applying some part of that Rule ut home means having a home.—Colliers.

She continued: "W e spend more for hats yearly than it takes to support the army and navy and several other federal depart ments.

Movable Coast Guns Likely, Washington, D. C.— Gigantic guns mounted on motor trucks or railway cars probably will be added to the country’s coast defense system as a result of experiments now being mode by army ordnance experts. It is learned that a scheme is being worked out for establishing mobile batteries to protect stretches of coast line not commanded by fortifications. The European war has demonstrated that high-power guns can be used as mobile weapons, Ger many’s 42-centimeter howitzer having revolutionized land warfare. H m C Gee W« Chinese Medicine Co. Baa-Flghtlng at Long Rang*. The fight in the North Sea began twelve miles away. When tbe Blue- cher was struck, she was ten miles from her English enemy. When von Spee and Craddock fought off Chile, they opened fire at a distance of 12.- 000 yards; and Craddock had old- fashioned obsolete ships If old-fash ioned obsolete ships open fire at 12,000 yards, what the superdreadnoughts can do, may be guessed. What they can do, experts say frankly, is throw a 2000-pound projectile twenty-five miles with such accurate range-finders that the deflection will be only twenty yards for six miles. In fact, the im provement and change In naval equip ment has been so swift and revolu tionary that the life of a battleship has been rated first rank for only five years. In speed, In size, tn armor proof, and big gun fire, the changes have come so fast since 1405 that the nations had either to fight It out or cripple themselves financially building bigger and bigger monsters of the sea; and oddly enough, the changes all date from a little “ cheese box on a floating saucepan,” the Monitor of Civil War fame. From the time the Monitor and the Merrimoc spat out their fire-crack er shots at each other, it has been a race among the nations for speed, ar mor proof, big guns, and long range. Those best informed declare that the big gun and speed have rendered sec ondary both armor proof and subma rine; but these are disputes that will be finally settled in the present war. Neither side has had any monopoly of courage. The courage of both sides has been magnificent,—almost terri ble, but speed and the big gun have won.— From "What Sea Power Means to England,” by A. C.
