THE DELUGE AT PARIS
The peace conference at raris may
toon be pleading to be saved from a
deluge of reformers. Well meaning
orvaniiations and individuals are de
scending upon it from all quarters of
the compass, each with aome favorite
prescription for savinff the world or
aome special part of it.
There is the American Anti-saloon
League which wants to clinch the
American victory by making the
world dry. There are labor oiyanii.
tiona from many countries demanding
the adoption of a trades-union pro
gram for the whole civilized world
There are advocates of child labor
laws and woman suffrage. There art
representatives of the anti-dope cru
sade. There are economic faddists
with remedies they want applied tc
production and distribution. There
are men seeking to change the world'?
monetary system.
Along with these and other reform
ers who seek to improve the whoh
universe in some way or other, there
are -representatives of particular
movements like that which wants Af
rica restored to the negro race, the
Sinn Fein delegation which asks the
sanctioning of Irish independence.
Russians who want freedom for Bol
shevism and other brands of socialism
or anarchism to thrive and propagate,
and men of many races clamoring for
political or moral or economic or re
ligious benefits to be conferred or
nearly all the habitable sections of the
earth.
The peace conference happens to
have its hands pretty full with the
mere business of settling the war and
piovMing some practical guarantee
against its recurrence. If it had a
reiiury to sit, and was blessed with
infi.i'te wisdom and patience, it might
take up all these matters and dispose
of them. Being finite and human, it
will be obliged to turn down, as po
litely as it may, a lot of over-enthus
iastic folk who ought to have stayed
at home.
DIPLOMACY AXD HAIR
From the tonsorial standpoint the
peace conference affords an interest
ing study. President Wilson is said
to stand out in striking contrast with
his colleagues because he is the only
barefaced delegate present. All the
others wear some sort of hirsute cam
ouflage. The contrast is made all the more
vivid by the fact that the other dele
gates nearly all have bald pates. They
wear their hair on their faces, while
Wilson wean his on his head.
There may be some deep signifi
cance in this. Just why professional
diplomats should be bald is a ques
tion that has never been satisfactorily
answered. Neither is it apparent why
they should wear beards or mustaches,
or both.
Americans instinctively suspect the
man behind the beard. And yet the
beard seems to be held in honor
abroad.
We give it up, feeling that there
must be some fundamental relation
between the barber business and the
league of nations, but unable to say
exactly what it is. Philosophers
should study the matter.
FARM ELECTRIC
PLANTS IN THE WAR
The strenuous demands of the war
have been the means of bringing U
the front many products, or perhaps
of developing hitherto unknown uses
of well-known products.
For many reasons little could be
said about these things while the war
was on, but now that the conflict is
over many interesting facts are being
related about products and measures
that were employed to help make our
victory certain.
Among the electrical products, one
of the most valuable proved to be the
small direct connected electric light
and power plant. The uses of elec
tricity are nearly universal and it
was found absolutely necessary to b
able to use it right up on the firing
line, on the submarine chasers and in
other places where the action was fast
and furious and where things were lia
ble to happen with disconcerting sud-
lenncss.
These liltla aircoolej electric plants
were foun.l operating X-ray machines
in field hospitals, charging batteries
for field telephone sets, for airplane
signaling, for running movio machines
at the army Y's, for electric dighting,
in short for electric service at any
point where electricity would help out.
These small electric units made a very
flexible system, for they could be ad
vanced or withdrawn as the fortunes
of war determined; could be installed
in an instant and would go right to
work producing tl e precious 'juice' as
promptly as a hat (cry would unlimbcr
and start shelling Huns.
The conditions of warfare speedily
established the f;-t that the simplest
type of plant was the best that the
fighting front or he submarine chaser
was no place to have to be dealing
with unnecessary attachments or fea
tures and there was, of course, some
weeding out. Hut the plant that was
simple, efficient an! sturdy, the plant
that could be depended on in any
emergency, was used by the thousand
and played an important part in Incit
ing the Hun.
WHY SIIOH.lNT SHE?
SPOK ANK, Jan. 27. While apply
ng for a divorce here, Mrs. Violet Me
l.envc was confronted with the charge
of throwing a knife at her husband
that might have hit him in the Jugular
vein. She ilidnt deny it. She said:
"1 did throw a knife at my hushard
when he kicked me In the stomach."
The court thought she was justified.
