The Pharmacy ImbrogliO.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
In replying to my article of recent date.
"A Member of the National College of Pharm-
acy" states that the commissioners of pharmacy
have faithfully performed the duties for which
they were appointed. After a careful perusal
of the law 1 am compelled to agree with him,
but must state that, as the law reads, the duties
of commissioners amount to nothing, aud was
mistaken when 1 thought the commissioners
were useful as well as ornamental, as commits
sioners.
The NJ. n. c. Phi. and Phi D. denies that I
paid 1926 for registering, and accuses me of
uttering falsehOod. Ii NJ. N. c. Phi and Pb
ID. will ask Mr.. Becker if some OF the first who
registered did not pay 50 % 1t is very likely
that gentleman (Mr. Becker) will explain NV
article was not written through spite or ill-feei-
feeling toward either of the commissioners. but
from the knowledge that the law was and ia.
being constantly violated. 1t ia necessary for
the protection of the public, as well as the
assistant pharmacists, that the law should be
strictly enforced.
Where it is not strictly speaking the duty OF
the commissioners of phi. to enforce the law it is
the duty of all good citizens. AS the law reads 1t
Is the duty OF the district attorney to see that
the law Is carried out. I respectfully call the
attention of that gentleman to the case The
NJ N. G. Phi. will please retract the word false
hood he has unjustly used, or / shall be CON-
PEELED to say that he Is not gentleman.

Shilling the Waves with Oil.


In parliament recently, the Earl Of Carnarvon
called attention to the effects said to be pro-
duced by pouring oil upon the sea In tempestu.
Gus weather, and inquired what measures the
board of trade had adopted to test the value OF
recent experiments, and to encourage discov.
cry valuable to life and property at sea.
Lord Sudeley said the idea of throwing oil on
troubled waters had certain fascination about
1t which would always render the experiment
interesting. Unfortunately, it was a subject on
which great deal Of sensational and impracti-
cable matter had been published There was no
doubt upon certain point. With special con-
ditions Of wind, tide, and current, oil on
undoubtedly it had been found of advantage
on tidal bars, and in case of boats Bleaching
through surf. They must, however, diyest
themselves of all idea that it would altogether
prevent shipwreck and loss Of life on harbor bars
Oil On waves had been constantly used on the
Assyrian coast. and in Pliny's time it had been
used by divers to keep the waters smooth
SO that they might get more light. DR.. Badeley,
In 1857, had tried many experiments on the
subject, but they were not very successful. A

review article on the subject. The board OF
trade had taken great interest in the matter,
and they were most anxious to collect all the
authentic facts which could be obtained. The
board of trade however, did not see It's WAY to
expend money or to become investors in this
matter. 1t seemed to them that it was their duty
in this respect to carry out the same views as
they had in regard to railways-namely; to en-
courage experiments by others. After referring
to Mr.. Shields experiments at Peterhead, and to
their admittedly inconclusiye character, pointing
to the fact insisted on by many authorities, that
oil was useless in very severe gales Of wind, the
noble lord said that those experiments would
be repeated during the coming winter, and
would be carefully watched and recorded. There

A Judicial Scandal.
Washington Speeial.l

The breath of scandal has been
waited into the sacred precincts of the
supreme court. Fortunately the jul
dicial purity of the bench is not at
stake. Washington is simply holding
up its hands in holy horror over the
moral obliquity of one of the justices.
There is no woman in the case. One
of the judges was simply caught
"bucking the tiger" at well known
resort on the Avenue. He was
playing with all the finesse of an
old-time gambler. but luck was against
him, and he left the table minus a
goodly slice of his officially salary
This is what is making moral Wash
ington weep tonight. Such iniquity
is rare hereabouts. People seldom
make ducks and brakes of their own
money, and to see an official stake and
lose few dollars on the green cloth
instead of gambling on a safe basis
with Uncle Sans funds, is lapse
from capital righteousness that can
not be forgiven this side of heaven
One man says tonight: "Would il
were different"

LORD DERBY in late speech said
his personal opinion was that some
millions spent in promoting emigra-
tion from Ireland would be a profita-
BILE expenditure, He believed that in
few years, despite the land act. small
tenants in Ireland would be just as
dependent as ever on the forbearance
of landlords. Thus the old difficulties
would recur. But he thought the
government should abstain from en-
couraging fresh large proposals for
legislation in regard to Irish land.
The government should refuse to lis
ten for an hour to the claim for Irish
nationality in whatever disguise it is
presented. An Irish parliament would
lead TO separation as certainly as two
and two make four. If we do not
want this TO become a practical ques-
ton. he said, we must be careful to
avoid giving vague pledges which
viii be construed to mean more than
they do =
