which the Icarian colonies, and the
Fairhope settlement are best known.
None of these has been an unquali-
fled success; few even qualified sue
cesses. Probably it would be agreed
that the greatest success ever
achieved in this country, perhaps in
any, of community domination of the
whole economic organization of q
large society was achieved by the
Mormon church in the early decades
of the upbuilding of it's community
in Utah.
The projectors of the southern
Maryland community have shown
wisdom in selecting their location,
for they have picked a region in
which lands are cheap, climate ideal,
markets convenient, and the future
certain to bring large appreciation
of values by reason Of development.
Moreover, the colony is to be COM
posed of people who have had expert
ence living under the sort of institu-
tions that are proposed to be es-
tablished. True, the Government i'm
posed them from above, in the Canal
Zone, while the Maryland expert
menters propose to raise them up
from the body of the people; which
is a very different method. Certain
it is that a group of people trained
to the discipline, the self-restraint,
the realization that in such a society
the individual must make a larger
sacrifice Of his personal privileges
for the common advantage, ought to
have a better chance to succeed with
such an experiment than an average
body of Americans. The Maryland
experiment should prove one of the
most interesting of it's kind that the
country has seen.

MULFORD BUILDING
HIS OWN RACE CAR
Champion of 1910 Hopes to Re-

INDIANAPOLIS. April A.-Ralph
Mulford, the 1910 road racing champion,

Work is being done in Brooklyn, where
Mulford maintains an exclusive car
building establishment for sons of the
idle rich.
Mulford is designer of no mean
ability, as he conclusively proved last

Chandler campaigned all summer This
little car, though it never won any races

to get Il on the track as soon as pos.
sible. His official entry will be made

THE MENACE OF TYPnUS

DR.. John F. Anderson, director of
the hygienic laboratory of the Pub
lie Health Service, is not an alarm
list. He states that typhus is far
from being eradicated from the
United States and that "the dis
ease may break forth here at any
time with virulence."
DR.. Anderson's warning is all the
more timely because he points out
the remedy for such danger. He
believes many cases Of typhus oc-
cur yearly in the hospitals of great
cities which are not recognized.
Sometimes a severe pain in the back
Of the head, unaccompanied by the
usual chills of typhus or the skin
eruptions, is about the only symp-
toms Of the nature of the fever Of
the patient. Failure to recognize
such cases as typhus, he believes,
has endangered many communities.
Few Americans have had wider
experience with typhus than DR.. An
derson. He studied hundreds of cases
in Mexico, has found it in New York
hospitals, and has made many ex-
periments by the incubation Of
monkeys and guinea pigs. All the re-
suits, he stated before the Army
Medical School yesterday, point to
the fact that the flea, the bedbug,
and not even the head louse can con-
vey typhus. The body louise is prac-
tically the only carrier.
Therefore the means of eradicat-
ing typhus are simple. Cleanliness
is all that is needed to do the work.
There need be no fear on the part
Of physicians or nurses attending
cases, this authority believes, if this
fact is recognized. His plea is for a
wider attention to the disease among
physicians Of this country. And such
an education of physicians will nat
urally bring about the proper pre-
cautions.

forces that must be effected in or
der adequately to care for the prob
lens of the post-bellum era. There
will be stupendous reorganization of
industrial methods. Nobody seems to
suspect, even, that the English rail-
roads, which were commandeered by
the government at the beginning of
the war, will ever be turned back to
private management. The plan un-
der which the government assumed
complete control was simple and ef-
fective, but temporary 1t will be
developed, with the aid of the war
time experience, into permanent
scheme of government railroad
ownership, unless there is a great
change from the present disposition
of the British public. Many other
industries have been brought under
the closest government supervisor
ship, as for instance the liquor busi-
ness; and all Britain is getting ready
for a new dispensation in business,
industry, finance, social organization,
and political dealings, as result of
the war. Lloyd-George has been
called Socialist in disguise; and not
so very effective disguise, either. The
war has brought him chance, the
assurance of powerful public sup
port, in his efforts to better the con-
dition of the masses, to bring about,
quietly and without revolution, a
more equitable distribution of the
proceeds of national industry. There
is some very interesting testimony
that the chancellor is already get
ting preliminaries arranged for
availing himself of the great but diff
ficult opportunity ahead of him.

TO TEST PANAMA'S LESSON

That is a particularly interesting
announcement which comes from
Baltimore, concerning the organiza-
tion of the Canal Zone Colony Club,
to establish a cooperative and
Utopian colony in Charles county,
Maryland. The community is to be
made up of some sixty families, at
the start, of men who have served
on the Canal Zone and want to con-
tinue in enjoyment of those cooper
ative methods of social and indus
trial organization that were made
effective under Government domina-
tion in connection with the great
work of building the canal. 1t ap-
pears that some of the Zone people
got the impression that if meats
could be brought to them and sold for
less money on the Zone than right
in the States, and if other supplies
could be purveyed at corresponding
prices, by reason of the cooperative
plan and the elimination of the
profit-earning element, it ought to
be possible for purely cooperative
community to accomplish somewhat
similar results to the common ad,
vantage. So the thing is to be tried
out.
We have had various experiments

HIGH SCHOOL FRATERNITIEs

The whole question Of high school
secret societies now is squarely be-
fore what ought to be the court Of
last resort in the settlement Of the
matter, the parents.
Before the Home and School Asso-
ciation of Eastern High School last
evening a voluminous report, cover
ing careful inquiry Of more than
year, was presented. This report
came from a committee on which
parents were well represented. It
contained a resume of the verdicts
Of sixty teachers, selected from the
five white high schools of Washing
ton. There is no doubt about the
opinion Of these teachers. Only two
Of them came out squarely for the
secret societies.
The report, as read by Henry A.
Hesse last evening, also is valuable
because it summarizes the legisla-
tion and municipal action regarding
these societies in fifteen States.
The Home and School Association
acted wisely in deciding to hold
the matter over for careful con-
sideration. Before the report is sent
1t should have the best judgment of
the parents who are to forward it to
the Board Of Education, and if that
action Is decided upon the parents
should be ready to make fight for
the principles the report involves.
The secret society question has
been a storm center in Washington
high schools for years. At various
times the fraternities and sororities
have been put on probation. Aside
from other objections to them thei,
uncertain status renders them a dis.
turbing element in high school life
1t would be better for the societies
themselves to have their status ex,
actly outlined and precisely stated.
