Certainly, none without blinding prejudices or a dyspsptio grouch can hope to appreciate their viewpoint. The board Includes In its membership the Governor of the State and a number of men' whose title of professor would Indicate that by their very training and work they were In sympathy with the Ideals and delights of childhood. One would have thought that rather than ban a single rhyme of "Mother Goose" they would have been glad to Incorporate every one of those pleasant tongue twisters and alliterative Jingles in the curriculum of the kindergarten and the primary grades. Certainly, there are few persons In the country today who have not learned the innocent little nursery rhymes at their mother's knee or In school, and many remember them throughout their lifetime.

Of course they are absurd. Their charm rests largely in the fact that they are absurd. But on top of that the Louisiana School Board performs a feat of mental gymnastics and takes the absurdities seriously, charging that they belittle "that class which the city folk sneerlngly refer to as rubes and hayseeds." And the unassuming cause of all this discussion and dissention seems to be the couplet: "A gentleman rides gollopy-trot. And a farmer rides hobble-de-hoy." Probably the members of the school board in their excessive dignity and ponderous knowledge have discarded long since those rhymes they learned at their mother's knee, Animals Predict Weather. Chicago Herald: A dispatch from Duluth yesterday brought the old story that the northern Indians are predicting a mild winter because the fur-bearing animals have light coats and the squirrels are not gathering nuts.

Cy De Vry was given an opportunity to forecast the weather from the coats on the and squirrels in Lincoln Pjirk. "You can get me to stand for that fairy story," said the zoo head. "There Is no truth in it. The animals put on their winter coats In the fall and the fur gets heavier as the weather gets colder. If the squirrels are not gathering nuts it's because they haven't enough sense to do so." Prof.

C. B. Cory, curator of zoology at the Field Museum, laughed at the idea of forecasting the weather from the winter coats of bears. "They don't know any more about whether it will be cold or not than we do. They put on their winter coats in the fall and keep them until spring.

It is just as heavy the fall before a mild winter as before a severe winter. "As for the squirrels, many species collect only a few nuts. They sleep most of the winter and don't need food." Grlfln. Pan Francisco. Women aiuidcs tlw Molls BJuratnlt, Nrw York.

i hurrh and Dpjin confronting American cities today is automobile banditlsm. In spite of all the daring exploits which have been perpetrated In this Hue, the Journal -does not believe that the full possibilities of the motor car as an instrument of crime have been exploited the powers that prey. Obviously, this paper will not explain the reason for Its belief, and thereby take the chance of giving a hint to criminals; but it does urge society to adopt better safeguards against thLs new land piracy. One improvement that could be put in force at once is to restrict the issuance of licenses to chauffeurs. The moral qualifications of a candidate for license should be Inspected most carefully, and conviction of crime should bar him, automatically and forever, from the privilege of driving a car.

Of course, the bandit who was at large and knew how to drive would not wait, for a license, but doing without one would add to his risks. It is quite probable that motor brigandage will force every State to adopt a State Constabulary. Clearly, the local police are handicapped when dealing with criminals who can dodge from town to town at fifty miles per hour. A State force, organized on the lines of the Canadian mounted police, would be In much better shape to deal with this evil, and co-operation between the constabulary of Illinois and Indiana, for example, would be simpler and. easier than between the Sheriff of a county on one side of the line with the police of a city on the other.

Whatever the means employed, society needs to recognize and deal with auto banditlsm. It is the most menacing variety of lawlessness abroad today. BY-PRODUCTS OF WAR. Many Industrial and Living Problems Solved by European Scientists, Cincinnati Times-Star:) Some big changes are already under way In the distribution of industries among the nations. Countries which have held special chemical secrets and manufacturing methods are bound to lose some of their monopolies, and other nations will gain in proportion.

This is an enevltable result of the great war. Necessity has been the great spur to this movement. The cutting off of supplies has forced nations to hustle for themselves, and in the scramble they have laid the foundations for a new self-sufficiency. France, Great Britain, the United States, the Scandinavian countries and even Germany have been obliged to put their brains and originality to work to solve difficult scientific problems. In Great Britain, for instance, the famine in optical glass set the scientists to work to discover a process Matlipy, Now York.

The automobile and the good roads have brought, the forests and the waste places where the wild animals live within a few minutes' ride of the city huntsman's door. It used to be when a man went deer hunting, ho was gone for a week or a month. Now he merely rises at daylight, Jumps in his machine and is back for work at 9 o'clock with or without his deer, depending on hiH luck.

The result has been that thous- ands are hunting today who did not hunt three years ago. They didn't have the time, nor the willingness to rough it. nor the hunter's instinct. SOME BUNCH. Last year a man stood along the Malibu and counted the hunters as they paused.

Between daylight and darkness, 117 went by: 117 hunters pnssing one place in twelve hours that means that probably a thousand were out that day. It means that thousands were out during the season. No game can exist long In the face of mobs like that. So the deer and every other wild game is going. The sport of the hunt has decreased and the lust to kill has increased as the means of access to tho forests have become easier.

NO FUN. Killing chickens in one's back- yard isn't much success as a hunt. The only way anybody can get any excitement out of it is seeing how many they can kill in an hour or in three shots. The whole object with the hunters nowadays is to see how many limits they can get and how fast they can get them. That la the only sport a man can possibly get when he mo.

NOT RIGHT. 1 So great has the killing become, that the animals cannot possibly breed as fast as they are killed, even one-half as fast.

When they are gone, they are gone for all time. Streams cart be stocked with trout from hatcheries, but you cannot restock the forests with deer, no more than the plains could be restocked with bison. The real hunters of the South, seeing the imminent danger, have proposed a closed season for the next four years. In that time the fast thinning game would have a chance to. breed and grow unmolested.

They rhould easily more than 'double. Then the bars could be taken down again, probably never as far as to- day, but enough. COACn BEZDEK THINKS IIE'S LOST. BY DIRECT WIHB EXClXSIVE DISPATCH. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EtJ-gene (Or.) Dec.

Upon the arrival of the eggs at the factory they are subjected to a candle test, then washed and brought into the breaking-room where the yolks and whites are separated. The liquid albumen Is then allowed to ferment for two or three days, during which time the clear liquid settles to the bottom of the barrels and is drawn off into pails by means of a stopcock. During the process of fermentation the acidity of the albumen becomes rather high, and in order to neutralize this an alkaline substance, usually ammonia, is added until litmus gives the alkaline test. The final stage in the conversion process the drying of the albumen in shallow metal pans previously coated with- vaseline, which takes place in steam-heated rooms ranging In temperature from 130 to 140 deg.
