RECIPE FOR YOUTH IN WOMAN.

New York. March 22.-Mrs. Roger
Watts. of London, has come TO America
to teach American women how to regain
the suppleness and elasticity of youth.
even though they may have reached the
age Of forty, or more. The basic principle
of her exercises is balance. She does not
advocate the elimination OF corsets and
wears clothes made after the prevailing
fashion, but she has shoes built on a
special last, with a low heel and a
straight inside line from toe to instep.
Mrs. Watts declares two meals a day
are sufficient for the ordinary woman
She is to give a series of exhibitions at
the Colony Club. under the patronage OF
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney.

New York's Rioters,

New York today is in need of a Wig
lorous police commissioner. Anarchists,
taking advantage of the deplorable fact
that an abnormally large number of
honest workmen are out of employment
just now, are melting their followers to
riot and violent demonstrations. The
mob which took possession of Fifth
avenue on Saturday night was composed
almost entirely of the preferably idle
and vicious and members of the /. w.
w. Its leaders were Emma Goldman
and Alexander Berkman.
Addressing the mob in Union Square
Emma Goldman said: Il call upon you
to organize and march on Fifth avenue
and help yourselves to the things you
have created" Whereupon she should
have been arrested and her hearers scat
tered and discouraged from future dem
onstrationS by the free use of night
sticks.
New York has thousands of honest
and deserving men and women out of
work. The municipality, every organi-
zation and every individual in more for
tunate circumstances should help them
in every way possible.
No sympathy, however, should be
wasted on the professionally unem-
ployed. That New York is infested with
this class is shown by the result of the
experiment of last week when seventy
men out of work were sent TO an up
State farming section. Only twenty ac-
cepted the places offered them at SIS
and $40 month and maintenance. They
refused to work for less than S45 a
month.
With Congressional elections ahead,
these are problems in the solution of
which State authorities will have the
best wishes and cooperation when pos
sible of the national administration.

Central Citizens Also Protest

The Central Citizens Association at its
meeting yesterday afternoon, at North

mously indorsed the work of the citizens
committee of 100 in connection with Dis

way. A copy of the resolution adopted
will be forwarded TO the committee
The association also went on record as
favoring immediate payment OF all un-
contested plaza awards. resolution in
dorsing pending bills of that nature was
adopted.
Doubling of assessments on property in
the vicinity of North Capitol and IL
streets was protested against by several
members, and the matter was referred
to the executive committee with instruc-
tons to protest to the Commissioners
Several members said they had been sur
prised to find that assessments on their
dwelling properties had been exactly
doubled. President Leo A. Rover pre-
sided. and IT was on his motion that the
association voted to cooperate with the

PLAN TO SAVE LOSS ON WOOL

II American woods were sent to mar

as are Australian woods, it is estimated
an increase OF as much as cents a
pound might be received by the grower.
Wool growers. dealers, and manufac-
turers admit the American system (or
lack of system) is bad, and at the an

Growers Association in Salt Lake City.
Utah, considerable interest was shown in
the proposal to adopt the Australian
method OF putting up wool Three cents
pound upon woods selling at from Is to
30 cents a pound is high percentage of
loss which can, and doubtless will. be
prevented by growers In the future.

ACod Save Ireland "

Clash of arms in ireland well might
make the Carnegie Peace Foundation
tremble, and rock The Hague confer
ence and arbitration boards. When
mems passions are infamed as they are
today in England and Ireland the prop
aganda of peace turns to skim milk.
Civil war in ireland is unthinkable; it
would horrify the civilized twentieth
century world. And, on the brink of
such sorrowful tragedy, it is no won
der that English army officers are lay
ing down their arms and resigning their
commissions.
If war comes, if humanity and reason
lose sway, it will be because the dis
putants discovered the peril too late
each side stood its ground too long, too
confident that the other would yield be-
fore bloody ground was sighted. The
recently proposed concessions to Ulster,
if offered months before, would have
averted the danger; even less would
probably have sufhced. Now it will be
necessary to grant more if peace is to
be maintained. The latest suggestion is
that Ulster be granted perpetual local
option upon the question whether the
province is to be included in the home
rule system, instead of being required
to decide for all time by election six
years hence. How bitterly this further
concession would be resisted may be
understood from the following from a
speech Of David Lloyd George, chan
cellor of the exchequer, to a mass
meeting of Liberals:
The country is confronted with
the graveSt issue in the history of
democratic government since the
days of the StuartS. Representative
government in this land is at stake.
am here on behalf of the govern
ment to say we mean TO confront
this defiance of popular liberties
with resolute and unwavering de-
termination, whatever the hazard
may be. We are not fighting about
Ulster or about home rule We are
fighting for all that is essential to
the civil liberty of this land.
Some hope of a compromise arises
from indications that Arthur J. Bal
four, former Unionist premier, may take
a hand, in cooperation with Premier
Asquith, in the effort to discover the
solution. 1t is fervently hoped that
these two great statesmen may evolve
some proposition that will furnish at
least the basis of a compromise.
Civil war in ireland would plunge
America into mourning.

FIGHT FOR BREMNER'S SEAT.
Eighteen Aspirants in Lively Tussle
10 Succeed Cancer Victim.

Paterson, March "a lively interest is
manifested in the primary election to be
held in the Seventh Congressional district
Tuesday to nominate candidates to sue
ceed the late Representative Robert G.
Bremner. The final choice will be made
at special election called for April :.
The names of eighteen aspirants viii!
appear on the primary ballot. OF these
eleven are Republicans, fve Democrats,
one Progressive. and one Socialist.
More than ordinary interest attaches to
the election from the fact that IL is held
in President Wilson's home State and the
President has displayed a personal in
terest in the contest. The fact that nearly
a dozen Republicans are candidates for
the nomination is taken as an indication
that the Republican party mas strong
hopes of winning the election.

Pay the Victims Now.

II any doubt existed as TO the ncces-
sity of immediate steps being taken to
relieve the distress and suffering caused
by the long delay in payment of the
plaza awards for the homes which the
United States government has rendered
uninhabitable and taken for its own
use, it was all dispelled by the testi-
mony of the victims, the former own
ers of the houses between the Capitol
and the Union Station, at their meeting
on Saturday night
Stories were told depicting conditions
much worse than the general public had
imagined Persons with hundreds and
even thousands of dollars-their entire
assets-due them from the government
for property taken from them without
their consent, are compelled to borrow
the money with which to purchase food
A year has elapsed since a jury of
condemnation, holding open sessions and
examining expert witnesses, with coun-
sci representing the governments inter
ests, fixed upon the amounts to be paid
the ~ owners of the property. Their
findings and entire procedure were con-
frmed by the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia and Congress twice
made the appropriation necessary for
payment of the awards, the second
measure being signed by President Will
son.
On all sides the awards were accepted
as just and equitable until within recent
months Representative Ben johnson,
chairman of the House District Com
mittee, questioned the amounts award
ed to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
for its large holdings, with the result
that the President last week announced
his disapproval of all the awards, being
unable to discover legal authority for
separating them.
Obviously some method must be dis
covered and put into effect Immediately
to right the great wrong which the gov
ernment is now inAicting upon the i'm
poverished former owners of small hold
ings. They are referred to as former
owners for the reason that the property
was naturally regarded as having passed
from their control when the jury's
awards were confirmed by the court.
This was certainly the effect, for since
then it has, of course, been impossible
to rent, lease, or dispose of the property;
and, besides, many of the buildings are
uninhabitable.
These small owners should be paid
at once. A great government inflicting
such suffering and hardships on help
less people is disgraceful spectacle. If
Senator Sherman's resolution will ac-
complish the result it should be pushed
through the two Houses of Congress
today. If it is not effective, if the
awards cannot be legally separated with
out invalidating them, then a new iury
should be summoned without DAVIS |
delay. Let the thing be thrashed out in
open session, as it was before. this time
with the whole District and Federal Of
fcials looking on. Washington people
have the fullest confidence in Messrs
Ross, Dulany, and Childress, who made
the original awards; and will not be-
lieve that they unduly favored any in
terests. Representative johnson object
ed to an award to the railroad because
it was many times as large a sum as

Authority to present an Impeachment
against a Judge carries with it a grave
responsibility. Doubtless it is seldom
done without full consideration and a
solemn realization of the consequences
involved. A judge accused of "higil
crimes and misdemeanors" may be tried
snd vindicated of every charge; but not
every verdict restores the public conf
dence.

The world has need of more practical
philanthropists like Victor J. Evans, of
this city, who has just offered $500
in prizes for inventors of devices to
prevent accidents and deaths from "vo-
cational diseases" This is one more
step emphasizing the fact that this
country has at last awakened to real
ization of its woefui past neglect of the
conservation of human life.
