THE AUTOMOBILE AGAIN Once more the automobile comes to the fore in the solution of the world’s transport problems.

They} prove to the layman that many of} the things which we prize as com- paratively modern thoughts of a Christian era existed in an Egypt] that was old w the pyramids at Luxor were young. Immortality—the existence of a life beyond the graye—is consid- ered by many as a heritage of re- cent centuries. Yet the indisput- able evidence of King Tut’s tomb is that the Egyptians of thousands of years ago believed in immortality. Not, of course, just as we do. But the differences are largely super- Voltaire once said that if there| -| were no God, it would behoove man |to create one.

But there is a cer- tain pleasure in remembering the daring feats of a fine-cut foeman who must have been imbued with the spirit which we like to charac- terize as American sportsmanship— for Captain Karl von Muller died recently in Germany. | The spectacular career of the German cruiser Emden, under von Muller’s command, will be easily |recalled to mind. For four months she swept the South Seas, brilliantly eluding a squadron of pursuing British men-of-war, She sank mil- lions of dollars worth of shipping, but there is no record’ anywhere that von Muller ever took a single life or acted in any but the most | humanitarian manner toward his enemy.

What the rail- road can not do at all, and the camel can not do as well, the auto- mobile does with comparative ease. Motor caravans will bring the vast interior of the Sahara many weeks nearer to civilization. They will supply an opportunity for the scholars who would invade these solitary regions, and eventually on- able the business man to tap them te some extent. ONE SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM ‘The late unlamented German Em- pire had compulsory military train- ing. A few other countries have it today, in one form or another. But it remained for Switzerland to in- augurate compulsory training in housewifery. The far-sighted Swiss, long ob- fects of wonder in good government and wise taxation, are going about the business of solving the servant girl issue in the right way. Every country is experiencing difficulty ‘with domestic help. Even England, once a land where good and effi- elent servants were the rule rather than the exception, 1s now reporting a@ shortage. This is all, of course, an aftermath of the war. Swiss reformers have introduced ® bill making training of all girls in housewifery universal and compul- sory. This will become a law in some cantons in the near future. If our reformers were to enact such ® law, how much would it raise the value of the marriage state in the eyes of the poor and the man of moderate means? With our American aptitude for taking things easy and learning as little as possible save about busi- ness, most of us know very little about the Swiss, and care less, All we know is t Switzerland is the habitat of Swies be cheese, Swiss yodlers, and gentle- ™en who rush about equipped with ng ir ice picks and climt ing in f off high, Y But they are we the Swiss. ngers, Swiss | ately hit field hospitals when such |places were first bombed. Later, of course, they were to learn dif- ferently; but some such broad- minded feeling as that first British defense of the German airmen must have animated the relations between von Muller and the British seamen who finally sank the Emden and captured her commander and crew. AN INFECTIOUS GENEROSITY | The generous example of Amer- jica in returning a considerable part of the Boxer indemnity fund to China to be used for educational puroses is infectious, the New York Times points out, The British gov- ernment has, even in the midst of meeting its stupendous debts incur- red during the war, decided to remit to the Chinese what is still due on account of indemnity to Great Bri- tain. The amount is estimated at five times the sum which America remitted—between two and three millions a year for twenty-three years, a total of over $50,000,000. According to a dispatch in the Phil- adelphia Public Ledger, the Japan- jese have now been infected by the same generous purpose, At any rate, a bill providing for the remit- jtance of Japan’s share has been in- troduced in the Diet and its passage is “virtually assured.” The con- templated use to which the remitted fund is to be put is also educational, INTELLIGENCE TEST | Intelligence tests have long proved many things; chief among which is that those who place too jmuch faith in them have little or |no intelligence. In the army they |proved of some value in determin- |ing the precise degree of moronism jattained by some of our ill-assimi- lated citizens of foreign extraction. They served somewhat to show the flexibility and quickness of the, sub- jects’ minds; but that was about all.
