Knocking Out the Two-Cent Fare, agers to acquire common sense as for the proverblal camel to erawl through the eye of the needle. The raflroads have had their troubles from time to time, but most of them they have brought on themselves by their short- sighted and grasping dealings with the publie, and their reckless disregard and deflance of all attempts to regulate their operations. The rafl- | roads of Nebraska refused to pay their taxes, { snutting up schools and clogging the wheels of government until compelled to pay up by order of the United States supreme court, It was given out that they had turned over a new leaf and had adopted a policy of cultivating publie favor, but the present onslaught on the 2-cent- fare law after that law has been unchallenged n the statute books for eight years, looks like a new invitation to raise the railroad issue again. True, the hole now punched in the law is ortengibly for the sole benefit of the Missouri Pacific as the weakest line of them all. But the | fuspicion lurks that the breach is sought as a | means of eventually undermining the law as a whole and bringing passenger fares in Nebraska | back to the 3-cent scale, for It goes without raying that no road can charge more than an- cther between competitive points and hold fits share of the business. So far as concerns the reimbursement bond against overcharge should the 2-cent law be later upheld, that, of course, smounts to nothing, because not balt the pas- sengers compelled to pay a 50 per cent increase will be here to put In their claims after the final adjudication.

H 5 .i“”‘ i ! 4 only use this country had for an army or navy was one of aggression or oppression either oxainst our own people or others. The votes of democratic congressmen have always held down the appropriations for both the army and navy &nd has been the accepted democratic policy to within a few months, the last exhibition being in the session of congress which adjourned last spring when the naval building program was cut to the minimum. Nothing has really transpired since congress adjourned to render an extensive naval building program more urgent or politic now than it was then. The threatening complications with for- ¢ign nations are no more acute and the probabil- ity of this nation being Involved in the great war 18 negligible. With these facts so plain, the yresident’s sudden zeal for placing the United Hiates In a state of preparedness is a confession that all these years the democratic party has Leen wrong and that the republicans have been right In standing for an adequate navy and an army at least sufficlent for & nucleus of the needs of war times. It is not to be presumed, kowever, that thinking and observing democrats in congress have not known and realized this all the time—any other conclusion would be sn insult to their intelligence—yet they have post- poned again and again the act of preparation until conditions have brought the situation home to the people so forcibly that sophistry and buncombe will no longer decelve, The chief trouble the president will meet will be to undo vithin his own party the damage the democrats have already committed by their chronie opposi- tion to every preparedness measure, L _____] Rural Education. It is an encouraging sign that the leading educators of the country are beginning to devote sitention to the problems of the rural school. T'he general educational board of the National Teachers' association has taken up the problem and at its outset has discovered that as a rule all the schools for the education of teachers in their calling have devoted their energies to fit- ting teachers to meet the conditions that will confront them in eity and village schools and there has been little tralning for the rural school teacher and the problems involved have been tieated as a negligible quantity in the field of educational effort. Only a few weeks ago a meeting was held in Chicago, called by the state superintendent of Illinois, to take up this question, and plans for mulated for a better means of preparation for the rural teacher. The complaint is that the urban normal schools instils urban ideas into the prospective teacher and {f, perchance, & qualified teacher is employed in the country, it is but a makeshift until a position can be ob- tained in the city or village. The general board s urging consolidated rural schools to provide better facilities and pay which will attract capa- Lle teachers, and that the normal schools de- vote more time and energy to fitting teachers for instructors jn su.h schools, Even where this has been attempted, it is pointed out, the in- struction in household ecohomics, agriculture and subjects pertinent to the farm, bave too often been along lines adaptable only to the city home or the so-called agriculturist as distin- guished from the farmer. WELen the rural school problem {s solved one of the biggest propositions involved in the drift of population from the farm to the city will ©180 be solved, It is confidently believed, and it is encouraging that the best minds in the educa- tional field have turned attention to its solution.

We would at once arop | back to the stone age In our daily occupations and social life; our houses would be unlit at night, our food uncooked, our communication with the rest of the world would be broken, and only by foot or on the back of domesticated antmals could we journey abroad. Not only thls, but we would be unable to renew our existing stock of tools, apparatus, supplies, and everything made or fasiloned by the assistance of h and thus we would be carried back to the early days of the world by the loss of fire alone. No one really knows just how primitive man came to discover fire, and utflise it; but at some far dis- | tant perfod, he certainly found that fire existed In nature, derived from the volcano, lightning, or fric- tion, though he seems to have made no use of it for a long time. He may have come to know that it could be transported or transferred through having seen red hot voleanic rock ignite dry grass, leaves, or wood, or possibly by having seen the lightning strike and sot fire to a tree. He may even have secured & light, as it were, from one of these sources, and carefully preserved it for years, by keeping some- thing constantly burning. It became invaluable to him, since it cooked his food, and kept him warm, as well as gave him light at night. But it was at least a long time before he realized that he could himself create or make fire by rubbing two dry sticks to- gether. Once discovered, this process alone was used for centuries, before it was found that by knocking flint and pyrites together, sparks capable of igniting tinder might be struck. Somewhat later, in the iron age, flint and steel were substituted, a common method employed in fire making until late In the seventeenth century. A little later there came chemical inventions which eventually gave way to matohes. The use of fire also marks the beginning of arti- ficlal illumination, developed successively through the bonfire, torch, lamps and candles, to the gas and electric lights of today. To fire as well, the begin- nings of metallurgy, ceramics, and other arts which have attalned a high degree of perfection In this cen- tury, owe thelr origin. The specimens exhibited at the Panama exposition by the United States National Museum show the im- plements used in making fire by the frietion of wood, percussion of minerals, compression of air, focusing the sun's rays, and through chemistry, and terminate with the eleotric lighter. The seriee itself is preceded by three drawings; the first illustrating voloanic action, the hot lava setting fire to a forest; the second shows a forest fire lgnited by the lightning; while the third fllustrates the primitive camp-fire and the method of conveying fire from one camp to another, the first two being presumptive natural sources from which man may have obtained fire before he knew a manner for kindling it himself. ive steps of man's acquaintance with fire are three: The knowledge of fire, the means of utilizing it, and the means of preserving it. The last step, which is one of the most important In the history of man's development, s fully llustrated by the series of different apparatus and materials. Many improve- ments have followed the first steps in man's progress, and each method hag been subject to various modi- fications by different peoples. What was probably the first method, that of rubbing two sticks together with the hands, was Improved by reciprocating motion ef- fects; the twirling of one stick held vertically between the palms and resting on a second lying horizontally on the ground, then by the addition of a bow and socket, followed by the weighted stick as in the pump drill, and finally the machine with cog wheels and crank as employed in Soudan. The Indians of the two Americas, Ainos, Somalls, Kaffirs Veddahs and Aus- trallans, were generally exponents of the simple two stick method. The four-plece apparatus wasg used by the Eskimo, Hindoos, Dyaks, and some Athapasoan tribes, and the welghted drill was employed by the Iroquols and the Chukchis. The second method is that of sewing, and the ap- paratus comprised a thin strip of bamboo which was drawn edgewise across a section of the same wood In which a corcesponding groove had been cut across the grain, the sparks created falling through the groove upon some inflammable substance lying beneath the large section. This 0 accomplished by drewing a thong of rattan mcross a stick in which & longh tudinal slot had been out partway through, the sparks Igniting some tinder placed in the slot. Thess methods were used Dy the Malays and Burmese, as well g8 some other races. The progre Fire was also made by plowing, that is, & thin plece of wood was forced along a narrow slot ocut lengthwise in a larger piece until the friction ignited the tinder. This system was evolved by the Polynes- ians, the Australians, and the Papuana. Another, and more advanced wystem, of striking fire was by percussion, first employed through the use of flint and iron pyrites, or stone contalning iron, by the Eskimo and northern Indiana, and later super- wseded by flint and steel, a custom which became quite general, and remained popular for many years Twice Told Tales A Mere Detall, The man had been haled before the magistsate on some trivial ¢harge. “Let me see,” sald the judge. “I know you.

OMAHA, Nov, -To the Editor of The Bee: Now that people are condemning the friendly little squirrel, let's call at- tention to the aotions of that arch-con- spirator against song birds, the common house oat Before going any further, 1 wish to say that I hold no brief for the squirrel, If he is gullty, as some say, of whole- slaughter of harmless song birds. However, every bitd authority in the ecountry (many of them cat lovers) admit that the common house cat is the birds' worst enemy. The cat is a meat eater by nature. and is equipped with the necessary skill and eunning to catoh great numbers of song birds. It is im- possible to teach a eat not to kill birds, and I have never seen a cat, or even a little kitten, which would not stalk birds whenever it had a chance. On numerous occasions I have seen cats sating young robbins, thrushes and other highly prised song birds, in the day time, and no one has any idea how many of these song birds are slaughtered, defenseless, at night, which is the cat's chief hunting time. One authority claime, that, according to his observa- tions, & number of cats on which he kept as close track as possible, averaged about five old and young birds per month during the spring and summer season of the year. He had no way of knowing how many birds were caught at night, nor how many eggs were de- stroyed, or were loft unhatched on ae- count of the death of the parent. nor how many little birds starved to death for the same reason. His figures were based on what he actually saw the cats do. There is no excuse for the ownership of eats. With rare exceptions the cat is & highly seifish creature, a comfort lover at someone's else cost, a rowdy, a surreptitious and cowardly thief, & carrier of contagion, a blood-thirsty carnivorous creature, with more of the primordial wild instincts than any other animal I know of. I don't know what the other fellow's remedy is against cats, but mine is a 80-0 bullet between the eyes, or just back of the ears. One need fell no hesi- tation about destroying cats, because a eat, as far as birds are concerned is an evil creature, and dead oats catch no song birds, Yours for a city-wide anti-cat eam- paign, using fair means or foul to get rid of this pest. DRAKE COLE. Oripples’ Weltare Soclety. NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 3—To the Editor of The Bee: We are sure you will appreclate the magnitude of this work. The soclety, chartered in 1913, thus far has had but little desirable publicity, I think you will admit that of all the eleemosynary and philanthrople move- ments of this country, there i# none more deserving and more neglected. Thus far, we have been able to obtain but little | financial response, by our constant ap- peals, It is hoped In time through the efférts of this soclety, to obtain appro- priate national and state legislation for crippléa unable, in a measure, to eare for themselves, of which there are 500,000 in America. As matters now stand, they are per- haps the most neglected unfortunates in the world, and, ourious as it may seem, up to the foundation of this soclety, there has been none other in existence to make known thelr wants. There are socleties for erippled children, for the infirm, aged and helpless, but the eripple who can sometimes work and who can be pulled out of the mire is perhaps the most neg- lected individual in the world. It 18 hoped through this mother soclety that branches will spring In your and ofifer cities, all over the world and coun- try, just as has been the case with the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. This s the Initiative work, so you will appreciate the importance of publielty, and it 1s through such broad- minded papers of such fine policy as yours that we ocan obtain the desired publicity.
