DEMOBILIZING PROFANITY As a nation we allowed ourselves to become unduly profane during the war.. We took it for granted that the soldiers must necessarily swear a lot, and proceeded to per- fect the art in ctvilian life. Perfectly respectable people, who would ordinarily have been ashamed to use such language in private life, boldly pasted on automobile wind- shields heated phrases about the Hoh-| enzollerns, and wore on their coats buttons consigning the Kaiser and various other Germans to the lower regions. The habit spread alarmingly until little children imitated grown-ups and frequently outdid them in_ex- pressing violent and demnation of all things pertaining to the despised Wilhelm. form of condemning the Hun, and a loved army chaplain with the Yanks in France is reported to have said, “Tf swearing will win the war I’m for swearing.” The soldiers are now setting the rest of the American people a good example in this regard. The officigl soldier publication abroad, Stars and Stripes, is reported to have asked for a readjustment of the profanity out- put. This is no New Year resolution stuff about swearing off once ‘for all ahd cutting it out forever and ever. It is simply a suggestion that everybody make a sane and decent! attempt to return to normal modes of expressing themselves. The worst of the war strain is over, and peace can surely be ushered in without com- pletely destroying the forcefulness of the English language. o——- FLYING TO THE POLE With the war over, interest in ex- ploration revives. Naturally, the good old North Pole comes in for renewed attention. And now the problem of} chasing that elusive phantom is im-| mensely simplified. No more dog sleds. No more weary tramping for! months over rough ice ridges. No more drifting on floes. We might even say, no more gum drops and! pemmican. Men will fly there in air- planes. It is just as easy as that! The Aero Club of America, made up largely not of imaginative ex plorer-folk but of herd-headed gas- engine experts and aerial engineers, declares after prolonged study that, the thing is practicable. laid for the first dash next summer. A ship will sail to Etah, which might | be called the Polar seaport. It will! carry all necessary suppies, incuding | a few smal scouting planes and the large seaplane on which the hopes of | the expedition will mainly depend. | Etah is only 600 miles from the- That is a long| top of the world. distance by land and sea, as Peary, Cook, et al, can testify; but it be-| comes ridiculously short when cov-| ered in a_ bee-line by an airplane. The scouting planes will reconnoiter, and when weather conditiors are pro- nounced right the seaplane will soar} off northward, with a reasonable ex- pectation of arriving at the goal in a few hours. Midsummer weather in that region) is surprisingly mild. There are said to be six weeks when the tempeva- ture averages about 60 degrees above zero. There should be no engine trou-| ble due to cold in that temperature. It will be comfortable and even pleas- ant for the mapping and other scien- tific work intended. The seaplane has the advantage of being able to come to rest anywhere, on the snow or on the water, except in a gale; and the North Pole regions seem comparatively free from such fierce Pole. The “Big Nail,” of course, has been discovered, and is knowh to be mere- ly an imaginary point in an unchar-- tered sea. The expedition is meant primarily for the collection of scien- S| tific data. But the ordinary citizen cares little about soundings and maps. The venture appeals to the body will await the new undertaking with keen interest isthe fact that, if it proves feasible, it will de memon- 8 strated that anybody—at least, any- ‘]}body who has the nerve to go up in an aeroplane, and the money to pay his fare—can duplicate the trip. Flying to the pole may yet be- jcome a popular summer resort. a WAR BENEFIT MONEY | With the swelling of the casualty} |lists tens of thousands of families are directly interested in the monetary jpayments provided for by the gov-- doubt as to their rights in this mat- \ter. ‘ There is much confusion particu- larly between “insurance” and “com- pensation,” so that the secretary of the treasury has found it necessary jto make an explicit public statement tween the two. It should be clearly jthat in every case where a soldier with a government insurance policy, lis killed, the insurance money is due | his people just.as surely as if he had| popular mind as a_ great sporting) feat.

Two hundred and fifty feet of track were torn up and of five carloads of oil lost as a re- sult of the smashup, which also cais- ed considerable damage to efght tank cars, No one was hurt. The accident was caused by a broken rail, eight ears going into the ditch. A wrecking crew of about 30 men, was summoned from Chadron, Nebr., and succeeded in clearing the track in about seven hours. Much of the oil ran from the overturned tanks, but about three carloads were saved by pumping. from the crippled cars into tanks brought from Casper. ied ay ees Home Cooking—at The Harvey. ee Money to joan on chattels.
