Quoted by a number Of state expert
ment stations in the matter Of smudg-

age would seem to indicate that it Is
not the heat generated by the smudge
or FIRE that keeps the fruit from freez-
ing. but that the smoke generated
forms a blanket which keeps cold air
from penetrating the smoke zone and
holds down the heat radiating from
the earth. The smudge, according to
this view, is a means Of heat conserva-
ton rather than heat production. it
also further serves the purpose Of OBJ
scuring the light of the sun IN the
early morning hours, thus preventing
a rapid thawing OF blossoms that may

The National Association strongly
urges no one to go to this section who
has not sufficient funds to care for
himself at least one year, in addition
to what his family might require of
him during this time. It is also urged
that no persons who are far advanced
with tuberculosis go to so distant a
climate.
Consumption can be cured or ar
rested in any section of the United
States, and the percentage of cures in
the east and the west is nearly the
same. Any physician. therefore. who
sends person to the southwest with
out sufficient funds. or in an advanc
ed or dying stage of the disease. is
guilty of cruelty to his patient. Re-
newed efforts are being made to stop
this practice, and to encourage the
building of small local hospitals in ev-
cry city and town of the country. At
tempts are also being made in South
ern California and in Texas to ex-
clude INDECENT consumptives or to
send them back to the east.

Cruel and inhuman practices are
alleged, in a statement given out re-
Gently by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, against the eastern doctors
who persist in sending dying cases
of consumption to the southwest, and
to which attention is directed in the
December bulletin issued by the Kan
sas State Board of Health.
Fully 1880 persons hopelessIy dis
eased with tuberculosis annually
come to die in the state of California,
Arizona. New Mexico, Texas and
Colorado, most of them by order of
their physicians. This statement,
which is based upon the testimony of
well-known experts. and all available
statistics, shows that at least SO per
cent of those who go to the south
west every year for their health are
SO far advanced in their disease that
they cannot hope for a cure in any
climate, under any circumstances
More than this. at least so per cent of
these advanced cases are so poor that
they have not sufficient means to pro-
vide for the proper necessaries of life,
which means that 1915 consumptives
are either starved to death or forced
to accept charitable relief every year.
1t is not an uncommon thing, the
National Association declares, for
whole families, who can hardly exc

the west in the hope of saving the life
of some. member of the family. In
most instances, the abject poverty of
such cases forces them to beg, or to
live on a very low level. Often con-
sumptives who cannot afford the
proper travelling accommodations are
found dead on the trains before
reaching their destination. The re-
sources of almost every charitable or
ganization in the southwest are drain

would be self-supporting in their east

coMMoN-sENsE LAW.

A decision recently rendered by Coun-
ty Judge Stephens relating to the rights
and responsibilities of occupants of
public thoroughfares is not only APP
parently good law, but it conforms to
the principles OF common sense. Broad
~, it is held that a motorist. bicyclist,
or driver of an animal drawn vehicle is
within his rights when moving on the
right side Of the road; that he is war
ranted in assuming that the track is
clear, SO far as vehicles moving in the
opposite direction along the street or
highway are concerned. Similarly it is
held that a person who is violating the
established rules of the road is bound
to take notice of the danger of coll
lision, must accept the risk of such coll
lision. and must be responsible for acct
dents. This decision must not be held TO
warrant or excuse reckless or unlawful
driving on the right side of the road,
but the fact of such position gives
driver superior rights. The rules of the
road have come to have greater signifi-
canoe with the Introduction of the BIZ

bile, with their higher speeds. Incl
dentally it becomes the duty of driver

FRON OTHER PENS
THE BACHELOR TAX

When number of state legislatures
go into session next month the usual
bills proposing a tax On bachelors will
be introduced in several of them.
These bills, most of them, will be hui
morously intended or presented for the
sake of winning notoriety for their
authors. What we have to say now
is that while the bachelor tax was once
a joke, it is no longer one, in that
respect somewhat resembling a move
ment with which it has a point or two
of af1nity-the agitation for woman
suffrage.
Such a tax. indeed, has already been
proposed by the finance minister of
one of the Old World powers. It was
presented to the Austrian reichsrath
by Herr Van Bilinski a few weeks ago
in the form of an income tax, in ad-
dition to that already imposed sur
tax not only on bachelors, but on
spinsters, widows, widowers and all
persons supporting one person only be-
side themselves, this applying, how
ever, solely to individuals of some
means. The simple and complete
justification of the tax was that the
state needed the money and the classes
named were better able than others to
pay it. 1t was logical development
of the graduated income tax.-New
York Mail.
