An unusually large, crowd of students and friends of the college heard Pro- leaaor Aioort M. went, head of the department of French hero. In the third of a series of open lectaree on thw subject of the European war, which are this winter being given by members of .tha-f acuity-aatd otherai Professor Webb discussed the sub ject, "Franos and Her Position In the Present European Conflict.' He was Introduced by Dr. Frank C. Brown, chairman of the local commit tea on lectures and public addresses. in penlng his lecture. Professor Webb, who has spent a. number of years In Franos and who is Intimately acquainted, with the literature and life of the people, described briefly certain phases of European history which have a direct connection and relation to the present situation, epee-kinr of an ancient dispute be tween Austria and 8ervta in which Franos apparently had no internet, but was drawn In It by Germany's declaration of war on Russia, for the latter' a threats to interfere. As the ally of Russia France was approached by Germany and her refusal to de clare neutrality was followed by a dec laration of war against her. , France waa thus drawn into the dual and triple alliances, she entering the dual alliance on the theory of the bal ance of power, that no group of powers should be allowed unehal lenged to determine the course of in ternational events In Europe. France entered It In order to be able to treat on terms of equality with Germany, Austria, and Italy. France has upheld thia theory In the past and if has been known that she would live up to the agreements formed in maintaining this position. . "Has Franos been aggressive In this? Bo far as the records show, she acted In defence of her established position. Her recent history shows anirit thel wnnlil hriA on a m - T.4 France knows the cost of wajr;tjie Frertch" people 'know what it means. And France is a democracy ruled by la socialistic party elected by the uses of the plain people. The Franco- Prussian war revealed to France. the need of a representative government, of public education, and awak-ened the working men to de manding that legislation be passed In their interest. Uut the re-working of the school system In France, an avowed compliment to Germany's ex ample, caused a conflict with the church, and both religion and educa tion suffered as a result. France has had on the whole a stable govern ment since the establishment of the Third Republic, though at tlmeei l.hiui oeen in me nana oi. oemsgogues. u represents the will of the people. A certain hatred of militarism has been developed in France, although there has been a growing sentiment there that the nation should put hemelf In position to defend heraelf. France has followed, not led in the race for armaments. The nation, too. has liv ed through serious Internal conflict since 1170. over the church and the school. labor disputes, the army, the Dreyfus rase, and other disputes of great gravity. Each haa left France more balanced, stronger, and leas un stable. In the recent contest over Morocco. France was defending, a Co Ionia! policy antedating the rise of rruxHia anu tne Triple Alliance. in Jhevtrouble that followed. France hea Itated to do anything that would cause war, hated by all the people. In the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, France has not sought a recomiuest. but has simply protested. In the name of the French race, to ask that Alsace Lorraine have a chance to live In freedom- Germany thinks that France has cherished a grudge and welcomed a war of revenge. But this is by no means the case." ' CHOLFJt.V WORSE TH.tTW AR; Vienna's Scoargr Has Been Femred For Oratories By Ttte Kadona. Kansas City Star. - Asiatic cholera, reported aa having broken Tut in Vienna, is one of the most virulent diseases known. Even In mild cases Its mortality is ahwve SO per cent, while 10 per rent of se vere cases result In death. If the news of Its outbreak be true. Austria's capital must combat a foe within lis own gates far mors- dangerous Thuri ever . Russia or ..the Balksn allies could be. The disease must not be confused with bubonic plague, another product from the Orient. Their only simi larity is their high death rate and shortness of duration in the Individual case. "Black death" usually means bubonic plague, but sometimes Is ap plied to Asiatic cholera. The cholera has been known since before the Christian era. Again and again it swept over the world, taking millions to death. Since European entrance into the Orient great strides have been taken in reducing ita force, but even yet It remains one of tbe most feared diseases. It apnaased in China in 1120." flay ing that nation for nearly a year. In 1821 Arabia and I'ersla were scourged, and two years later It had penetrated as-far-s-Th Tasplan Sea.

(Aunt Deborah In Southern Farmlnat I recently read, the article in. thia paper written oy the womaa who thought . children- should not- wash dishes. It is true that very few women or children like to but why should the overworked mother be the one to do all of It? It la a great help to. have someone do It As I look back to my young days, I often wish my own dear mother had made me help her. I waa Just buy and played every minute. To be sore, my mother waa one of those overneat housekeepers who thought bo one could do It Just right but herself, and like many others, she worked herself t deathr-. Before whe dled she said If ahe could live her life over she would do differently. 1 learned the lesson and when" my children want to "help mother, l let them. At four years, my little daughter loved to wash some of the small dishes. When she was five she help ed clean, the lamps. When she waa six, ah took first children's prize in making; bread. Hbe is nine but tall and strong as a girl of eleven. . loving mother of today haa too muoh good sense to overwork a child. boy or girl of fourteen needs more care and looking after than a child of seven or ten. When children do the dishes, -I a ways get the hot water. Any woman should do that and see that the water Is clean and the dishes scalded. - A dish mop and a dish drainer are used. We work together and then mother has her time to rest or play. It does not look so hard to see farmer's child wash dlahes as It does to see a little thin rity girl carry baby almost as large as herself all day. I always find a way to pay the children for help. ChlldreD. like people, like a little money of their own. If they earn it, they will learn the value of It. Just pay your boy: and gtrla so much a week for wash ing dishes and see how quickly and nicely they will do it. That Is one great mistake our farmers make.

The Inventor arrived hers to demonstrate to Glenn Curtias the adaptability of his plane, which Is one-ef, the freakiest Of construction seen at North Island. it is the contention of Oasnova that planes sre not only dangerous, bat never will become of commercial availability He declares that If the flying machine of the future la not a machine of wings exclusively It will be one of a combination of winga and gas. The body of the machine is constructed cf bamboo, strongly braced and reinfon-ed with steel wire and aluminum, and In form and shape rewe mules very much the body of a swallow. - It is equipped with three wings on each side.

Paul James, in Ihe Scientific ' ' American. A good pneumatic tire ahould be both flexible and elaatlc. India rub ber Is flexible enough, but It Is not sufficiently elastic. The solution of the problem ap pears to he furnished by a new ma terial of remarkable pro pert lee, which is produced by an Ingenious process lu Paris. This product consists es sentially of India rubber, containing multitudinous minute bubbles, or "gas. distributed throughout its mass. The material resembles a rubber sponge m which the cavities are separate and do not communicate with each other. ' Hence It has received :. . the name "caoulchoul" mouswe," or rubber foam.
