NEW POPEs FOR SMOKERS.
Come from Philippines and Some
Useful for War Clubs.

(Exchange)
The increase in the number of tourists
to the Philippine Islands has flooded New
York with various styles of pipes that
are new to local dealers They are in
ornaments and additions to collections
than for the actual satisfaction obtained
from smoking them. Yet pipe-smoker
who are always on the lookout for some
thing novel, have grabbed them up and
wouldn't trade an old reed-stem and cob
town.
3. The large Moro pipe which is intended
to serve as a war club when not other
wise in use, is by far the most novel
of the recent importations from the Phil
ippines. It has an immense stem, cover
sufficient weight to make it a dangerous
weapon when welded by a native Fill
Pine. There are several of these Moro
pipes in this city. and smokers have
taken to them with alacrity simply be-
cause they are queer.
One pipe-smoker is the owner of q
highly priced specimen that was carved

A BLUNDER-

Those liquor dealers who have express
ed their purpose to boycott Councilman
Crenshaw viii soon find themselves IN the
minority. They are likely to hear pretty
quick that their fellow tradesmen prefer
to have the Crenshaw resolution discussed
in calmness rather than at time Wnen
the community Is boiling over with IN
dignation.
Mr.. Crenshaw proposed that saloons
should be taxed $1,000 each. whereupon
some imprudent and irritated dealer is
said to have suggested that all of them
who are patrons of Mr.. Crenshaw should
take their insurance business out of his
hands!
How foolish! What boomerang Of a
weapon to use!
The Liquor Dealers Association would
better disown any sympathy with any
such purpose.

BAD ADVISERS.

Some Of the Presidents advisers have
been urging that he has right to inter-
fere in the coal strike situation under the
Fourteenth amendment. which aims to
protect all citizens Of the United States
against an abridgment of their privileges
and immunities, and against a deprivation
of life. liberty, or property, without due
process of law" These advisers do not
seem to be aware that should the Presi-
dent take their advice he would butt
square up against the Supreme Court.
That court has frequently held that the
Fourteenth amendment has no application
to such a situation as now exists in
Pennsylvania. AS the New York Journal
of Commerce says. the amendment does
not undertake to protect a citizen against
injustice at the hands of his fellow-citi-
zens: the State must look after that mat
ter until its power is exhausted, and then
1t may call upon the general government,
but under quite another provision of the
Constitution.
And until the State does call upon the
SSueIdl government IuHt 4u1le all
other provision the general government
is powerless to move. The Fourteenth
amendment. as our New York contem-
porary further explains can protect the
citizen only against injustice at the hands
Of the State itself: for protection against
his fellow-man he must look to the State
in the first instance, and to the President
only as one coming to the assistance of
the State at its express request.

NO NEED TO FREEZE.
Plenty Of Heat in the Bowels of Old
Mother Earth


To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Your attention is called to an article
in the Metropolitan Magazine for Oc-
tober, written by Professor Henry c.
Demning, official geological surveyor
for Pennsylvania, of the United States
Geological Survey, on the subject Of
t"The Impossibility Of a Coal Famine
The professor claims in that article
that it has been fully demonstrated that
internal heat Of the earth at certain
depths. will produce hot water and steam,
and it is only question of drilling deep
wells to get an ample supply of both.
He claims that by drilling 5-inch wei
10000 feet deep. which he says is practical
and feasible, ana which can be done for
the sum of 100000 for drilling; then $50, o90
for iron castings, and $4,000 for pipes
and controlling machinery above ground
making total investment of $3.50. eoo-with
this he can get hot water and steam
for heating and power purposes. to pro-
duce sum Of $1Ge,eo0 of income sold at
rate of much less than the present
prices for the same produced from fuel
He claims that the cost OF running such
a plant would be practically nothing
merely nominal
If the claims Of the Professor are true
and he is too eminent scientist to make
public any theory, not based on sslbstan-
tial information; in fact. he quotes sew
eral authorities to verify his statement
It is IN the power of any live conmu-
nifty to provide against any further Diff
Guilty in the coal supply. and against any
monopoly of power or heat-producing
companies.
This is subject Of such deep interest
to the community that our Cha mber Of
Commerce would do well to. take hold
of it. and have careful invesiga ton
made, and have the statements and
claims OF the Professor verified. and then
promote a company to produce the res
suits named in this article.
Every citizen would recognize the USE
fitness Of the Chamber Of Commerce
then, and future generat tons would rise
and call it blessed.

Says the Newport News Press:

CONGRESSMAN Maynard Is said to have
fed to the Dismal Swamp to escape the

didn't he just stay in Portsmouth?
Why didn't he, indeed, and thus lose
himself in the crowd of that bustling
city?
Referring to the question of national
ownership of coal miners the Baltimore
Herald notes that Professor Ely, now in
Chicago and formerly head Of the eco
nomic department at Johns Hopkins Uni
versty, has for years prophesied the COM
ing of government operation of monopo-
lized industries.
But Professor Ely, while brilliant
writer and a strong thinker. entertains
some pretty advanced Secialistic theo-
ries.
Some people are beginning to doubt se-
riously whether Pietro Mascagni, who
has just arrived in this country. is a
genius after all. He wears his hair at
normal length. dresses like other folks,
and takes interest in ordinary topics.
When Secretary Shaw gets through
helping them ride the present tempest,
he ought, says a contemporary. to give
the New York banks fair warning that
they must stop ballooning the stock mar
ket to an extent not to be justified either
in rhyme or reason.
The way to prevent the New York
banks from ballooning the stock market
is TO make change in our banking and
currency system under which they can
not look to the Treasury for aid in
riding tempests.

A Valentine Diversion.

A sale OF hearts" made pleasant
diversion at q recent valentine party,
writes a contributor to Woman's
Home Companion. The hearts were
cut from water-color paper, and on
each was written one line from a
couplet appropriate to Saint Valentine
such as, "'Tis better to have loved
and lost" my love is like red, red
rose" 1.-TWO souls with but single
thought" etc. These semi-quotations
were read aloud in turn, each heart be-
ing sold to the person who first sue
ceeded in completing its couplet. TIE
guesses were made. orally, duplicate
hearts being given in case there were
more than one guessing the correct
line at the same instant. When all
the hearts had thus been auctioned of,
the couple who had won the greatest
number were proclaimed the king and
queen Of hearts, and an American
Beauty, certainly the queen of roses,
was presented to each. The two who
we're least successful were given small
heart-shaped boxes filled with tho
tipiest red CANDY hearts.

Yares In O,den Times.

Ancient public buildings in New
York for the most part were of stone.
The second church edifice, erected in
1912, was stone building costing 81
600. The wages of the masons were
so cents a day. The dwellings and
business houses were of both brick and
wood. The end toward the street was
of yellow imported Holland brick, the
sides and rear were wood. The colony
began the manufacture of brick quite
early, as the price Of imported Holland
brick in 1861 was S24 thousand. Brick
made in the colony sold all the way
from 81 in 1887 TO So in 1916. In 1851
New York contained 500 houses built
of brick. The cheapest were valued at
$3.50. Brickmakers received 30 cents
day, the rate advancing toward the
close of the colonial period. In 1853
bricklayers received s1.25 in New York
and brick sold for S..
