H This was a clever move on the part

M RAlfj'AS A WEAPON
H OF WAR.
H , A story comes from San Diego, for
H i which we do not vouch, that just be-
H fore the big flood which devastated
H the country around San "Diego, the city
H council engaged Charles Hatfield to
H produce "rain Jto fill the Morenn reser-
H voir, contracting to pay 10,000. The
H agreement was viewed as a joke, bo-
H cause San"Dlego had very dry weath-
H cr and Morenn dam, since construe'
H tion, had never been more than one-
1 third full.
H Hatfield 'built a rain plant out in
H , tho hills. 'Then rain began to fall.

troversy followed. The rain plant
continued to operate. Then came the
flood.
If tho French hear of this man with
his rain-producing apparatus, they will
take him to the hills in the neighbor
hood of Verdun and command him to
make the heavens open wide with a
downpour for forty days and nights
so that, nt the end of tho deluge there
will not be a German left in all that
country along the Meuse.
Hatfield would be a more effective
weapon of war than an army.
w
THE FIGHT AT
VERDUN.
Has the battle of Verdun ended'
Perhaps the French are asking that
tame question and Impatiently arc
waiting an answer
Berlin makes no reference today to
fighting in the Verdun region and Par
Is reports no new developments.
Should this prove to be Germany's
utmost effort, then the Kaiser has
gained nothing and the French once
more have demonstrated their ability
to strike blow for blow
But our opinion is the Germans are
reforming for another drive at Ver
dun and that the most titanic struggle
is yet to be witnessed.
Were the fighting to cease, the
French could boast, quite as much as
the German's, of their showing at Verdun.
INTEREST IN THE AMERICAN
BABY.
When Senator Borah of Idaho asked
for an appropriation to be devoted to
Improving the conditions surrounding
child life, he provoked a laugh which
was soon checked by the rebuking
statement that, while this country1 had
millions to spend to investigate the
diseases of the American hog, there
wns not one cent for the protection of
American babies.
Since then congress has been com
ing to a better understanding of the
needs of the children and gradually
there has developed a strong public
sentiment in favor of employing our
best experience in the conservation
of human life by starting with the ba
bies. Public Interest has grown until
now we have "Baby Week," observed
throughout the country, during which
every avenue of publicity Is employed
to put before mothers and fathers the
pioper methods to be followed in rear
ing the little ones.

BALANCE OF TRADE OF
UNITED STATES.
A review of the foreign trade of
the United States shows that, in Janu
ary, exports fell somewhat below tho
mark set the previous month, the
total "being $335,535,303 as compared
with $352,800,000 for December. As
compared with January a year ago
however, there was an incroase of
nearly $68,000,000. Imports are still
increasing, the total for January be
ing $184,192,299, and Increase of more
than $12,000,000 over December. Near
ly 74 per cent of the Imports were
free of duty, indicating Increased Im
ports of raw materials and decreased
imports of manufactured European
goods.
For the seven months ended with
January the exports from this countrv
totaled $2,181,312,322, or C4 per cent
higher than for the like period of tho
preceding fiscal year, and 40 per cent
higher than the former best record
made in 1912-13. Imports for the 7
months ending with January last total
ed ?1(096,979,173, being about $500,000
more than the former high record to
tal of $1,096,484,767 recorded in the 7
months of 1912-13, and $166,500,000
more than for tho corresponding per
iod of 1914-15. The 7 months Just end
ed showed an export balance of $1,
084,333,149, being about 2 1-2 times
that for each of tho corresponding 7
month periods of tho lant five fiscal
years.
Our International gold movements
were comparatively small, Imports
thereof during January last amount
ing to $15,008,232 and exports, $10,.
213,517. The aggregate gold Imports
I for 7 months to January 31, 1916, were
$322,038,386, about nine tlmeg the
1 1 amount imported In the 7 months pre
, ceding January 31, 1915; and gold ex
ports aggregated ?34,056,90S in the
first 7 months of the current fiscal
year, against four times that amount
in a like period of tho preceding year.
VHERE THE LAW PROTECTED
A GOLD BRICK.
How the law is made to inflict in
justice Is Illustrated in the following
trom an eastern papor:
For forty-five years Kentucky tax
payers have resisted as best they
could through law-worshipping courts
the payment' of tribute to holders of
bonds for a railroad that exists only
on paper, and for the same number
of years the heirs of tho foresighted
patriot who bought the bonds have
fought for their annuities under deci
sions from the bench. The only ques
tion at issue was whether these citi
zens should be forced to pay the
bonds issued to cover a sale of gold
bricks which tho people bought The
courts said yes, out of respect to the
la?s guarding property The people,
protecting In their primitive way the
principle of equity and Justice, said
no. The obligation during these 45
years grow fiom $75,000 to $500,000,
and finally was removed by a com
promise for $100,000. That many
years ago certain men of thrift and
foresight projected a railroad on pa
per. Paper roads are just as profit
able in one respect as tho genuine ar
ticle. The road was never built, nev
er even begun, but bonds for its con
struction were issued and sold. The
bond buyer said he was entitled to
his reward and the courts agreed
with him. Judgments were ordered
and executions issued from time to
time but sheriff after sheriff resign
ed rather than act on these judg
ments and executions. Throughout
this litigation there seems never to
have enteied the question of justice
only law, and law as an Idol.

To 'look one's best and feel one's

A quarter pound of limestone phos

that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the

that internal sanitation is vaBtly more

LANSING AWAITS
CONGRESS' ACTION
No Further Negotiations With
Germany Until Armed Ship
Situation Is Cleared.
GERMANS ACTIONS SHIFT
United States Will Not Agree
to Changing Assurances at
Will Must Be Bona-
fide Agreement.
Washington, March 1. House lead
ers today drafted for consideration of
the house a measure proposing that
congress express its confidence In the
president's handling of the armcd
merchantmen controversy and recog
nize that it Is not a matter of legis
lative, but of executive concern
The house foreign affairs commit
tee got ready for a meeting at 1
o'clock at which it wns expected tha
plan to canvass the situation and re
fer the drafting of the resolution to a
sub committee. It was indicated that
most of the Republicans would vote
against a warning resolution.
Lansing Cables Inquiry.
Secretary Lansing today cabled an
inquiry to Ambassador Gerard at Ber
lin asking by what ship the appen
dices to the German memorandum no
tifying this government that armed
vessels would be sunk without warn
ing beginning March 1 had been dis
patched and when they might be ex
pected to arrive here
The appendices are said to reveal
the existence of secret orders of the
British admiralty Instructing British
merchantmen to attack enemy submarines.
Washington, March 1 Germany's
latest assurances on the conduct of
submarine warfare, presented Monday
by Count von Bernstorff to Secretary
Lansing aro not so broad as the Unit
ed States desires but It ls indicated
no further action will be taken by this
government until tho administration
Is certain Its action will not be eni
barassed in congress
The assurances reiterated In the lat
est communication are regarded as
! not so complete as those originally
ghen as the result of the Lusltania
negotiations and it was Indicated that
, the pending Lusltania agreement
would not be finally accepted as sat
. isfactory at this time.
Officials were represented as feel
ing that If the German government
i ook the position that It could modify
"r change the first assurances at will,
there was nothing to prevent an at
tempt to change the latest assurances
und they do not Intend to agree with
?uch procedure
It Is said that the next step would
be taken as soon as the situation In
congress was clarified Officials ex
pect the administration will find it
self In a position to continue the nego
tiations within the next few days.
Conference at White House.
At an earlj conference at the White
House President Wilson and adminis
tration leaders made plans for bring
ing the armed ship agitation In con
gress to an end at once Ith a de
monstration of unity to convince Ger
many that the American congress
stands behind the foreign policy of the
government. t
President Wilson rolteratod to the
leaders that while dissensions In the
American congress over the question
of warning Americans not to travel on
the armed Bhlps of the European bel
ligerents were being made "Industri
ous uBf of in foreign capitals" and be
ing pictured as evidence that the
country does not support the presi
dent in his stand for the observance
of the laws of nations and humanity,
his negotiations with Germany arc
embarrassed, and, In fact, cannot be
continued
Plan House Voto.
Confident that they can beat all
antl-admlnlstratlon resolutions by a
heavy vote, the president and leaders
framed plans to bring them out first
on the floor of the house, where they
plan to defeat them and put through
a vote of confidence in the president.
Chairman Stone and Chairman
Flood of the senate and house commit
tees dealing with foreign affairs and
Senator Kern, the Democratic floor
leader, were present at this morning's
conference
Clark and Kitchln Called.
After the president, Senators Kern
and Stone and Representative Flood
had been In conference for an hour,
Speaker Clark and Majority Leader
Kitchln of the house wore summoned
to join the conference. An effort was
being made to decide on the form of
action congress should take.
Tho conference agreed that In de
ference to the wishes of President
Wilson a voto would bo taken in the
near future in both senate and housft
on resolutions warning Americans to
keep off armed ships, but tho form
in which the resolutions will be pre
sented will be determined later.
Immediately after the conference,
Chairman Flood went to the capltol
and called his committee together to
frame a resolution.
Precldent Makes Wishes Clear.
The presidont made it clear that ho
did not want a vote on a resolution
expressing support of his conduct of
tho diplomatic controversy and as a
result of his position the vote will "bo
taken on a resolution warning Ameri
cans off armed ships. Administration
forces are sure they can boat It.
The president also discussed the
question with acting Chairman Pou of
tho rules committee. The president
asked that as soon as the house for
eign affairs committee had prepared
its resolution the rules committee
bring In a rule for discussion and a
voto on the floor.
At the conclusion of tho conference
the leaders hurried back to the capl
tol. It was almost certain that tho
parliamentary situation in both houses
would prevent a vote coming up to
day. t Deems Prompt Action Necessary,
Tho president explalnod to the lead
ers that ho had written to tho rules
committee not because he was dis
satisfied with any action of tho for
eign affairs committoo, but because
he thought It expedient, us he 'realized
that a special rule' would be necessary
to provide for immediate considera
tion. Chairman Flood, after his confer
ence at the capltol said that after he
had drafted ft resolution, he would
confer with the president on Its exact

form before it was presented to the
house.
Speaker Clark and Majority Leador
Kitchln said no action could be taken
today in the house and that the con
ference had been devoted chiefly to
discussing procedure.
Plans Being Discussed.
"The habit of obedience has been
developed to a high degree" was Mr
Kilchln's answer to a question about
prospects of a vote He is one of
those who have favored the resolu
tions. One plan discussed was for the
house foreign affairs committee to
report one of the resolutions and at
the same time bring in a rule limiting
debate By what plan a vote could
be reached in the house tomorrow or
Friday and the question would be
taken up in the senate immediately
afterward
The president told tho leaders the
foreign situation was no more serious
today than it had been for several
weeks but he believed action should
be taken quickly to show the world
that the American government was
not dhided.
It was undei stood that some of the
loaders who conferred at the White
House today still differed with the
president's position Speaker Clark,
.vho predicted last week that a warn
ing resolution would pass two to one
at that time, said he did not know
tho sentiment of the house now and
refused to say how he himself would
vote

Enlargement of tho Loishman Area
scopo Sz Supply company business, so
that six different mathematical instru
ments, all inventions of LeRoy Lelsh
man of Ogden, will be manufactured
and sold by the corporation was an
nounced this morning by David Jen
son, secretary of the company. Plans
are now being formulated for an ad
vertising campaign, national in Its
scope, to promote Sales of tho six
devices, which mathematicians say
will be very much sought by civil en
gineers, mechanical engineers, archi
tects, draftsmen and many others.
The arcascope, the first Lelshman
invention, will be improved, as will
also the percentograph, the other de
vice that has been on the market In
perfecting the latter, the Inventor ex
pects to meet certain provisions sug
gested by a number of sporting edi
tors of leading papers, who desire to
use the Instrument in figuring base
ball results.
The "Dollar Adding Machine," its
name showing the prico set for its
sa'e, is expected to be another import
ant feature of the invention list. This
little machine can be carried in an
ordinary Avallet without inconven
ience. Another one of tho instruments is
the "Slideloss Slide Rule," the slide
rule Is known to almost all persons
Interested In mechanical arts and en
gineering, being a rapid calculator.
The Lelshman device is much smal
ler, will cost less to manufacture and
overcomes a number of technical ob
jections by reason of easy operation.
Secretary Jenson states that the
other two devices will be the "Midget
Calculator" and the "Superior Calcu
lator," these being so arranged that
the will divide, multiply, acid, sub
tract and do other figuring, removing
difficulties in preparing payrolls and
similar work. All of the new devices
are to be on the market about
April 15.

"These new devices will make a
considerable change in calculating,"
sa'd LeRoy Lelshman this morning.
"They aro designed as instruments
that will do everything mathematical,
practically, removing many difficulties
from the road of men and women who
find It necessary to solve problems
;
but have not had a complete educa
tion They are low in price, -which f
should add to their popularity. Area-
ccopes are now being used in more
than half the states of the union, the -C
percentograph is well known thrpugh- i
out the west. The company will soon r
have all of its six Instruments and de
vices in uso throughout the United ;
