When Major William C. Murdock
said:
"We want to sec every willful de
serter puniahed, and punished to the ut
termost, for no penalty that can be in
flicted Is teo severe for them," he
echoed the feeling of every red -blooded
American.
Murdoch Plan Right
The Secretarj of War says :
"We aro publishing these lists to give
the innoceut a chance to clear up their
record."
A delicate situation would have bees
clarified nnd criticism of the War De
partment's attitude n verted if the de
partment, or even the Attorney Gen
eral, had adopted the suggestion made
my Major Murdock in a letter to a high
Government official.
"If the Secretary of War persists In
his course in publishing these lists then
they .should not be published as list a
of deserters, but ns lists of uames about
whom information is requested," he
wrote.
Had this been done, nnd all had been
exonerated who could be eionerated,
then no criticism could have been made
for the publication as deserters of tlic
remainder of the naracj on the list.

I the earth for their position relative to
the earth tn be altered.
The Rev. Wnltcr A. Mntos, of
Swarthmore. widely known as nn ns
tremomer. explnine.' tho present phe
nomenn ns the results of a "magnetic
storm." . The sun spots are really
sun cyclones, according to the astrono
mers, which make their effects felt
electrically on the earth. The nurorn
borcalis. which means literally "north
ern light" or "northern dnwn." usu
ally is seen only in northern latitudes.
Connected With Storm
"The presence of the nurora borealis
is in some way conne"ted with the pres
ent magnetic storm." snid Dr. Mntos
"Every o!ccn jenrs comes n maximum
sun spot perioel. when more sun spot
are observed tbnn at nny other time.
Yenrs of observation have shown that
nt the same period are n maximum num
ber of electiical stoims anil n innximum
number of manifestations of the aurora
borealis.
"There is a minimum period of sun
spot intensity ns well ns a maximum,
and during this minimum there nro
fewer electrical storms and fewer exhi
bitions of the nurorn borenlis than at
nny other time."
Mr. Mnto.s observed tho nurorn Snt
urdnj night, nnd wiH look for it ncam
'this evening, if the heavens nro clear.
"The report of static tremble on the

nuking it- present c Mr," said Mr. Mn
tos, mid it mn be isililr ngnm this
ovening. I 'hoiild miner expect it un
der the circumstances, though olio nevi"

"I had n very good view of Sat

at Swarthmore and noticed the sky
clouding in the southeast. It was nbout
7 :-lf o'clock, and ovening bad not fallen

been dlse barged. It has announced if
will not open until the labor situation
improves.
At lenst one Americnn plant has been
considering similar action for two
months, anil the closing of the Br'tlsh
plant Is causing other Americans also
to consider the rnnttei-. The 'farmers

it; the public respects and
supports it.
April, a year ago, was a
tremendous tire month.
Yet in this April 1921 the
makers ofU. S. Tires shipped
more tires than in April 1920,
We believe that no other
make of tire has so many
dealers now concentrating
on a single line as United
States Tires.
And there are hundreds
of new dealers coming to
U. S. Tires every month.
The makers of United States
Tires assure to their dealersand
the public they serve the highest
quality products at fair prices,
with a merchandising policy that
is always consistent, construc
tive and making for stability.
