It is all very sad, if true, but fortunately it may be shown thi this thoughtful business man is needlessly depressed in spirit. In his letter complaining of a heedless world he says: ““We ace becoming more and more a pleasure-lov- ing people, hasty in our preparation for thinking, hasty in our half-baked conclusions, and altogether in- creasingly trivial. It has become absolutely bad form for gentlemen to discuss important things. Golf, base- ball, prize-fighting and social events are the only top- ice admitted. It is said that we cannot make our peo- ple give serious attention to public affairs—public af- fairs as distinguished from the affairs of the poli- ticians.’ “It is not true that American business men have no time for the consideration of serious matters in general, and public questions in particular. Happen- ings in every American city give evidence of that fact. Chambers of commerce include in their programmes gatherings for the discussion of the issues of the day. Such meetings, whether following luncheons and din- ners or not, are largely attended and the speakers are given close attention. It is so in Boston; it is so else- where. The City club here and similar clubs in other cities hold meetings of the same kind. The demand for them is one among other indications of a keen in- terest among business men in ‘public affairs as dis- tinguished from the affairs of the politi s.’ It is true, of course, that there are many men successful in business who know little outside the range of thejr cwn affairs, but it is unfair because of these men sweepingly to condemn Americans in general. “In his references to the fondness of mankind for sport and recreation, the ‘thoughtful business man’ has tinged with gloom one of the brighter aspects of Américan life. It is not to the discredit of Americans if they have learned not to talk shop after business hours, and if, in their time devoted to recreation, they do not interrupt their diversions to mourn over the troubles of a stricken world. The man who play: golf in the afternoon and talks about it in the even- ing does not thereby demonstrate that he knows nothing about public affairs, or has formed only Half- baked conclusions concerning them. The business man who can give you offhand the batting record of Mr. Ruth may, and probably does, have a pretty good idea of what the Washington conference is trying to do. Even the man who struggles for a seat at the ringside may read books on economic questions. “And the business men, tired and otherwise, are only a portion of a great American publie which sup- plies the audiences in hundreds of lecture halls and at scores of ‘forums.’ In fact, instead of being neg- lected, public questions might be said to be subjects of too much discussion. Perhaps the thoughtful busi- ness man is himself suffering from an overdose of weighty argument. It might do him good to play a little golf and then, to use a colloquial expression, to think again.” Aa ea A he TS THE GEMS OF WINTER. “If summer is crowned with flowers and autumn with fruits,” proclaims the Minneapolis Journal, “win- ter brings its diadem of jewels. Men journey far to study the rock layers of some mountain, or they dig deep in the earth to catch the sparkling gleam of ruby or sapphire. But far and wide are flung the gems of winter, until the fields grow white and whole states are clad in crystal. “One must wait long for the colors of spri dawn and“autumn slowly retreats in her planeta geantry. But when all is ready, winter suddenly sur- TRIO PLACED OW Mexicans Fine Fishing Boat TRIAL IN MINE prises with its gem-burst of erystals. Hour by hour they come, fluttering down in flanks and phalanxes. Here they whirl and dance and there they dash and charge in marvelous bombardment. “In a few moments winter does with snowflakes, what it takes nature years to do, in fashioning the polished facets of quartz or the perfect edges of dia- monds. But these jewels of winter are fashioned in the same laboratory and by much the same process as the marble mosaics or the tesselated granite of the mountains. In the treasure house of winter the mud- dy water of pool and stream is transformed into pearls or stars of purest white. “If you ask the secret of winter’s jewels it is found in the crystalising power of nature, which moved the mind of Tyndall to reverence and to awe. Nearly everyone is familiar with the way sugar, dissolved in water and subjected to evaporation, yields crystals of sugar candy. When chalk is thus treated, it becomes Iceland spar. And by the same token carbon crys- telizing under great pressure becomes sparkling dia- monds, purchased at a great price, instead of black coal—also purchased at a great price. “Every snow flurry shows this same transformi tion going on in winter’s laboratory. No drop of wa- ter from stagnant pool but may be thus transfigured. And if one of these gems is waylaid and examined, it shows a fairy architecture that rivals that of a Gothic cathedri “Such a winter’s gem may be a prism capped by a pyramid. At any rate it.reveals a form common to its kind and yet a little different. the particles radiate into plates and whorls, or again i hexagons, rosettes, trefoils, lace or ferns, wintery es and blossoms. More than two thousand of these winter crystals have been identified and traced, and each is found to contain @ jewel within a jewel. “But the wonder deepens as the fairy mathematics of winter’s handiwork is seen. Snowflakes may seem to fall helter-skelter, but all of them, in various skapes and sizes, obey a law of sixes. Snow stars are six or twelve rayed, and whether in the form of pyra- mids, ferns or rosettes, they conform to law and re- veal a plan. Within the heart of winter’s storm there is locked the might of little things and the majesty that hedges in an atom or a star.” VASSAR GIRLS’ WAISTS. “Nearly forty years ago Vassar college began to use the tape and the scale on the young women who entered its classic gates,” remarks the New York Her- ald, “and it has kept careful record of the changes in average weights, heights and diameters of waists. “The Vassar Miscellany News has an article which shows how the American girl has grown this last gen- eration. In 1884-1890 the freshmen at the Pough- keepsie college averaged five feet and three inches in height and 118 pounds in weight and had a waist measure of 26% inches. The average freshman of today is three inches taller and 6% pounds heavier, and her waist is five-eighths of an inch bigger around. “A jumper at conclusions might say that the girls entering college nowadays are older than the fresh- men of the eighties; but this is not so, as the Vassar records prove. The average age in the eighties was 18 years and 9 months; now it is 18 years and 2 months, a full year less than the average in 1896. “The size of the Vassar freshman’s waist has not increased steadily since 1884. The girls of the late eighties had fairly good sized waists—25% inches. That was a period when college girls were very -seri- ous and cared little for fashion. Twenty-five years ago, in the age of tight lacing, freshman waists be- gan to recede and by 1905 they had reached the low- est mark on the books—23% inches, “After that, athletics having over-balanced fash- icons, girls’ waists grew, and they have grown two and a quarter inches in the Iast 15 years, And yet, it must be remembered, the increase over the waist measure of the freshman of the eighties is only five- eighths of an inch. This is a trifle, considering the great gain in height and weight in the same period.” Pia EEE OE NEEDS REVISION. In view of the large number of corrections made by prominent men who are interested in alleged facts stated in Tumulty’s story of the career of Woodrow, Wilson, it is evident that the former secretary was wise in printing it first in serial form. He can make the correction to his text before it goes into book form. The numerosity of Tumulty’s mistakes may ac- count for some of the mistakes of Wilson. FAIR ENOUGH. It is indicated that Japan would be willing to relin- quish Shantung if Great Britain will withdraw from Wei-hai-wei. Unless there are reasons against it not apparent to the superficial observer, the proposition would appear to be fair enough. The British conces- sion is on the Shantung peninsula, side by side with the territory now occupied by Japan. Why not let both countries give back the land to the original pwn- ers? Such an action would effectively clear up one Pacific sore spot. ———— NO FAULT OF OURS. The United States demonstrated its good faith by offering to take the lead in scrapping battleships.

With the realization that a mar- ket for gasoline and its by-products must be assured as well as the pro- duction necessary for the operation of a refinery before any serious con- sideration can be given to actual con struction, the. officials of the com- pany made certain of these two es sentials ' several weeks ago. Since that time inquiries have come from filling stations throughout Wyoming and adjacent states concerning gaso- line sales, and certain producers of crude oll in Salt Creek have made overtures to the Wyoming Refining company in regard to the purchase of their off Since it is the plan of the company to build at first only one battery of crude stills and add others as time permits_and necessity demands, the present contracted production {s suf- ficient to take care of this unit with- out further drilling of the acreage controlled in Salt Creek. It is un- derstood that after the dividends are paid in the preferred stock, the rest of the profits accruing from the prod- ucts of the first battery will be de- voted to a bullding program. The 400-acre tract of land east of Casper, which has been purchased by the Wyoming Refining company, is of sufficient size and so advantage- ously located that, should conditions demand, a 60,000-barre}. daily capacity refinery could be built.
