IK) VOI' KNOW The old fashioned solid garden hose is noldom called for any more now that tho hollow kind Is on the market?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.1 "Tho de partment of stato has no views on the subjec t of the porposed food embar go," Secretary Lansing said today "That is purely a domestic (;ucstton.' Tho department, ho Raid, ha neither urged, proposed nor discussed any such embargo as he does not think it concerns international rela tions in any way. S'ich action, It is said, could hardly be objected to by any foreign govcrn- l.ient in view of tho fact that thel linvo taken such action, whore neces sary for public safety. No similarity could be drawn, It itiib said, between the proposed cm- farge ami the shipment of munitions ACrOUDING to the Now York World, J. l Morgan is the man behind the secretly organized National In dustrial Conference hoard, which, with a liH'inl.crship of 13,000 captains of industry, having 8,(XJ0,(KXU)00 capital, employing 6,000,000 workers, has begun a vast organized warfare on the eight-hour day and minimum wage pro posals. Mi: Morgan is chief owner of the General hlectne com pany, one of the largest employers of labor, and when that concern beat its employes in their eight-hour-day strike, began the organization ot a co-operative body composed of representatives of national industrial associations, for co-operative action to prevent the spread of the eight- Hour day propaganda throughout the country. Air. Aloi gan and his associates also control 200,000 miles of rail roads, whose organized employes are demanding the eight- hour day. The various affiliated organizations, such as the Na tional Association of Manufacturers, the Founders' asso ciation, the Metal Trades, etc., have all adopted resolu tions against the eight-hour day for trainmen, enlisted the support ot the National Chamber of Commerce, and are actively organizing shippers and industrial corporations lor united opposition to the Aclanison law. United class action by the employers is reacting upon tlie employes. All branches 01 labor are uniting in sen defense. The American Federation of Labor' is negotiat ing consolidation with the trainmen brotherhoods, and the result promises a nation-wide struggle between capital and labor. "Whether or not the eight-hour law is practical or work able for railroads is not at all the ftuestion at issue. Mor gan and "Wall street merely use that as an excuse. They are unwilling to try it out. It is the eight-hour principle that they object to, not only for railroads, but for all industry. Air. Morgan's viewpoint is well known. lie is without vision for human welfare. To him the toiler is simply a soulless unit to be exploited for profit. It matters not that the eight-hour day lias proven profitable in many in dustries: that it improves the character of the workman, means race conservation, and hence is the highest type of national preparedness. Morgan has as little sympathy with his fellow man as his prototype, the feudal baron of old, had lor his serfs. To avert a class struggle is one of the many problems oodrow W ilson laces, and he will have need ot all the courage and statesmanship he possesses to keep the nation at peace internally as well as externally. JACK LONDON jy Y the untimely death of Jack London, at the earlv age of 41, America has lost her most forceful and vigor ous, and probably her sfreatest. author ot the dav. .- Daring and original, master of action and of language, past perlorniance gave greatest promise lor his iuture, lie' early attained remarkable success, but his literary achievements were regarded by himself and the public as training lor greater eltorts m the Iuture. A child of poverty and of struggle, his native ability raised him above environment. He created his own oppor tunity, but his early hardships awakened his sympathy tor toiling humanity., and a large share ot Ins eltorts were directed towards combatting industrial and economic ills. As a novelist, Jack London outranked all living Ameri cans yet he had only begun. His loss is the world's loss. WASHINGTON, Xnv.

The Drift of Science n- DIt. J. l.AWHENCK 11ILU This is the ecnlniy of intciToga tion. Toilat-, as never before, men ipicslion, doubt and deny what pre ceding nges considered final both in religion and science, ltolh have taught us llial iu llie reiilm of tlioughl reason alone is authoritative, and that only when we follow her lead ings shall we know 1 r .it Ii in all its applications, and become rooted and grounded iu failli. After centuries of misunderstanding- and bitter opposition both science and religion have become more sym pathetic and tolerant towards each other. Today science is more relig ious anil religion is more scientific. Today tlicy recognize llial they arc complements of each other, and that their aim is the same. Science deals with (iod outside of matter, religion with God imminent in nature, and revealing- Himself not only in nature, but in human consciousness and ex perience. During recent years there has been a complete ovcrtiirniui; of ninny of those underlying principles of nat ural science which have heretofore been considered as firmly establish ed. Scientific discoveries have fol lowed each other in quick succession, notably the lioentgen rays in WX mid the llccipierel rays iu the follow ing year. Then came the discovery of radium in 1S!H. Since then other very important discoveries or specu lations have followed along the line of atomic disintegration, the tiaus lormatiou of matter, the thermal effects- of radio. actitity and intra-atomic energy. l-'ai-ailav produced the theory of the lines of foi-i-e, hut the mathematicians immediately attacked it. Laplace and l'oison have "befuddled" ns lit their objections to the undulating theory ot light propounded by Young and Frencl. Ampere dctelopeil a theory ,if magnet win, lint l'oi-son and Wcbci- were not behind him in theories of liicir own on this subject. Professor Maxwell wrote a treatise on electricity, which, according to Professor Foley of Indiana univer sity, "few- could read and no one could fully understand,'' because of the fact that his ideas of electric dis placements and displacement cur rents were bound up in equations which were without experimental verification gave only I he vaguest no tion of the subject. Science has been accustomed to re gard matter and energy as tlie two great entitles with which it has to deal, hut more recent and careful re search into nature of tlie atoms of which matter is held to lie composed has given rise to the theory that mat ter in its last nnalysis may be found to lie only ether in motion, or some thing which can he resolved into electricity and then into some unim agined mode of motion of ether, and that finally it will he found that at oms have had their day and cease lo be. The earlier conceptions of mat ter as nn eternal and indestructible entity have been rudely .shattered. Matter, ns we have already seen, has been reduced lo electric change, and wc can now take our choice of n great many different theories pro pounded by science lo explain its na- Catarrh Cannot Be Cured irltli I.OC.U, APPLICATIONS.

It is claimed by recent writ ers that there are strong reasons for believing- not only in the electric na- j ture of matter, hut in the molecular j structure of electricity itself, lo suvj nothing of the dciH'iidenie of mns noon electricity and the theories of the radio-activity and di-intcgration j of matter. Then there is the one- fluid theory, the twu-fluitl I henry and the putcnlinl theory, and the nine-! tccntli century school ot plenum, one i ether for light, heat and electricity j and magnetism. For a fuller discus- ' siyn of this subject, I refer you ioj an article by Professor Arthur Foley, j Indiana university, in a recent mini-1 her of The Popular Science Monthly j on "Itccent Developments in Physical ; Science. Knrlier conceptions and theories of the indestructibility of matter are giving' way to the conviction that its destruction and creation by man are within the range of .scientific possi bility. Change iu physical phenomena are ilue to force of energy or vibration, and lire thus reduced to idealistic forces which nre beyond the cogniz ance of the senses. They cannot he seen or measured. They are only known by certain effects commonly attributed to theui. (To Be Concluded.) PRESIDENT SUFFERING FROM COLD IN HEAD WASHINGTON, Nov. 2:1. Presi dent Wilson, who has been suffering from a slight cold iu the head for several days, started out to play golf this morning, but returned to the white house because of rain. He re mained iu his room the remainder of the morning and saw no callers. SAN KR.V.VCmCO, Nov. 23. So spontaneous has- been tho response to the appeal of the California branch of the American neutral conference committee for world peace, launched in California today, that a slogan or a "million Dames" will undoubtedly be adopted, according to the publicity department of the committee hero. The oriijiual 3U0.0U0 signatures to petitions which were counted upon can easily bo outdistanced, it Is be lieved and it is thought possible, to I have, Higned up over S'JO.UOO before j Christmas. The movement has been endorsed by the head officers of practically every fraternal order in the state, j thus aligning a powerful influence, i which promise to bo very active. I Doth the luiversity of California and Stanford university have promised several thousand names and the northern California Baptist associa tion lias entered the movement. Spec ial services are to be held in churches throughout the stato on different oc casions when tho petitions w ill be pre sented for signature. CHICHESTER S PILLS J . v TUB 11A1I0NI IIIIAXK.
