brought to earth by Dr. C. C. WILSON. His lecture is of things fundamental: “The

on the interesting subject of “Spoil
ing a Bad Egg." But since we are in
no way affected we decline to waste
valuable space in superfluous com
ment.

facturing plants in America are suited
for turning out munitions of war.
Here’s hoping for one that insofar as
the United States is concerned they
never have occasion to turn a wheel.
