R. G. Brown Addresses Meeting
of the Engineering Section
on Water Power Regulation

Rome G. Brown of Minneapolis. Mimi.
noted among engineers as one of this
country's experts on water power, de-
livered an address today before the en-
gineering section of the Pan-American
Scientific Congress at the Raleigh
Hotel on the laws and regulations re-
garding the use of water in pan
American countries. Mr.. Brown declared
that water resources are the constantly
disclosed, ever available and continu-
ously renewed sources of natures
bounty to man.
Real conservation" Mr.. Brown said
demands the greatest and most i'm
medlate prevention of the constantly
wasting energy from undeveloped
water powers" He said that the cause
OF the uneconomic waste of water
powers in all countries is that legisia-
tion for the regulation and use of water
resources instead of promoting their
use s., mas become an obstacle to their use
Legislation" he declared, has not
kept pace with the progress in the

Merits of the Short Course
in Agricultural Colleges
Explained by H. l. Russell

The material service rendered by the
University of Wisconsin in the matter
or secondary agricultural instruction
through the development of what is
known as the short course" at the
university, was told by Dean H. L.
Russell of the college of agriculture of
the university. In this course, he said,
submatriculate work of practical
character is given to farm boys. It
was inaugurated in 1856, being the
first course of instruction of this type
in the United States, and has been a
decided success. Some phase of in
struction of this character now is
given in practically all the colleges of
agriculture.
During the last three years. Prof
Russell said, there also have been es-
tablished county short courses in agri-
culture. which are carried on in the
respective counties in which the coun-
ty agricultural representatives are
located. These representatives thus are
able to develop a continuation school
in agriculture at practically negligible
cost, while at the same time they have

to rank alongside the old-line univer-
sites with which they are legally on

cial college is the result. rather than a
contributory cause, of Germany's COM
mercial progress. but it bids fair in
the future to enhance that progress
even more. Training for the civil and
municipal service. together with op-
portunities for modern language train
ing, are perhaps the most striking fea-
lures of colleges of commerce. Private
and semi-public activity figures largely
in their foundation and support, and
show one phase of the spirit of CO.

important lesson we can learn from

H. 900, 900 Horsepower Used
by the Factories in America
Operating With Electricity

Philip Torchio, electrical engineer of
New York, delivered an illustrated ad-
dress on industrial applications of cleo
tricity before the engineering section
of the American Scientific Con-
gress at the Raleigh Hotel this after
noon. in which he said that manu-
facturers of the United States now use
over 100000 horsepower of electric
power annually.
Adding the central stations and the
street and electric railways, and, say
1000, 900 horsepower of electric power
from the other classfications," Mr..
Torchio said. I'VE obtain, a total of 25,-

South American arbitral treaties we are
struck with the constant reservation
from arbitration of questions which are
considered to involve the vital interests,
independence or honor of the contract
ing states, and as it is sometimes said
which affect third powers. The effect OF
this reservation is to render valueless
the treaty containing it, except so far
as, feeling themselves under some
moral obligation, or for reasons of
policy, the parties involved choose to
give it efficacy. In other words, the dis
position toward peace existing, exact
ly the same end could be accomplished
without a treaty of arbitration as with
lit.
Questions of Honor.
I'VE say this because there is no
question imaginable which may not be
declared by one nation or the other to
involve it's honor. it's independence or
its vital interests. To illustrate: The
nation which is subjected to a charge
of denial of justice may well declare, if
IL see nt that such a suggestion con-
stltutes reflection upon it's honor, and
that the question of it's existence is not
a fit subject for arbitration. The ma
ton whose territorial limits are al
legged to be in doubt by another party
may decline to arbitrate because such
a proceeding would affect it's inde-
pendence or its vital interests"
After discussing some of the treaties
ana some of the questions arbitrated
In recent years, Mr.. Ralston said:
"Confirmatory of the general attitude
OF the Americas as to the peaceful So
luton of international difficulties is
their conduct with regard to the
Bryan peace treaties. as they are
called. These treaties embodied an
idea first elaborated by the recent
Secretary of State, which idea received
the emphatic Endorsement of the Pres-
dent of the United States, and, under
his direction. Mr.. Bryan put it into
effect.
Value of Peace Pacts.
while some thirty treaties have al
ready been signed, among the sigma
tories being practically all of the ma
tions south of u.s. actual exchanges
have only taken place between the
United States and sixteen other ma
tions. among the Americas being Boliv-
la, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Paraguay
and Uruguay. These treaties consti-
tute the last and greatest evidence
that among the Americas the preserva-
ton of peace by every means humanity
possible is the paramount duty rest
ing upon statesmen. They point the
road directly toward arbitration and

Commercial Education as
Taught in Germany, Is Theme
of Dr.. Ernest Farrinqton

An address by DR.. Ernest Harrington
of Columbia University. delivered this
afternoon before the commercial edu
cation subcommittee of the congress,
dealt with the commercial type of edu-
cation in Germany.
The speaker said: During the
twenty-five years from 1882 to 1907
Germany underwent marvellous trans
formation from an agricultural to an
industrial nation. The education of the
German youth for commerce has played
its part in this change. In Germany
specialization is the order of the day.
Every effort is made to find out early
what a lad can do best. and he is then
trained thoroughly for that particular
work and for no other. All this results
in a vocational stratification which
parallels the social stratification so
chara acteristic of German life.
Germany has two distinct educa-
tional systems, one for the masses and
the other for the classes. Commercial
education cross-sects them both, and
appears in three degrees or levels
lower commercial schools. middle COM
mercial schools and higher commercial
schools

Lauds Commercial Schools,
Urging Further Cooperation
With Nations Business Men

Addressing the section on education of
the Pan-American Scientific Congress at
the Pan-American Union yesterday after
noon, John H. Fahey of Boston, president
of the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, said
Frequently, as business men, we are
prone to criticise our educational system,
to get impatient with it and feel it is
behind as compared with other countries,
but l am one of those who believe that
as matter Of fact, to whatever extent
this may be true, the business men them
selves are largely to blame for 1t.
tYet I believe we are laying emphasis
very wisely first of all upon the education
OF our youths between the ages Of four
teen and sixteen in those centers where
we have begun to develop the commercial
high schools, type which has been very
successfully developed in Germany We
have quite a considerable number of
schools of that character in this country
now. In the city of Boston-that is a
fair representative, possibly a little better
than most of those in the country-it has
been established something like nine years
and is at present educating a little less
than 1.600 pupils.
That these schools are doing useful
work is again attested by the fact that
their graduates are taken at once with
the greatest avidity by our business firms.
Places are waiting for them whenever
they show their ability and fitness for
the work
Evening star., 1915-12-29
Urges Further co-operation.

Il believe that the cooperation already
begun can go still further. AS far as our
business organizations are concerned.
every city of any size in this country
should have committee of education
among its business men. There is an
appreciation of that on the part of the
National Federation Of Business Men, the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States. We have a committee on educa-
tion and are just completing special
committee to get cooperation with uni
versities and to devise a means for bet
ter cooperation between them
$50 far as the international field is
concerned. l believe there is wisdom in
the suggestion made during recent years
that organized methods should be devised
for the exchange of students between the
countries OF North and South America.
and for better organized methods of CO.
operation between the business men of
those countries. And likewise we believe
in sending some of our leading business
men to these countries. Out Of it can
come mutual advantage. In educating
our youth we must not neglect our bust
ness men themselves

HOW To HEAL
SKlN-D|SEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests
this simple, but reliable and in
expensive, home treatment for
people suffering with eczema.
ringworm, rashes and similar
itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get
q jar of resinol ointment and a
cake of resinol soap. These will
not cost bit more than seventy
five cents. With the resinol soap
and warm water battle the af-
fected parts thoroughly, until
they are free from crusts and the
skin Is softened. Dry very gent
ly, spread on a thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with
a light bandage-if necessary to
protect the clothing. This should
be done twice day. Usually the
distressing itching and burning
stop with the first treatment, and
the skin soon becomes clear and
healthy again.
