MORE BLACK SHEEP NEEDED

From the Army and Navy Journal
One Of the difficulties TO be met in the selec-
tion of a natural mottled brown for cloth for
the army is the shortage OF black or brown
sheep. In the experiments conducted in the
Quartermaster Corps under the direction OF
Brigadier General Henry c. Sharpe 1t has de-
yeloped that It will require 70 per cent. OF
brown OF black wool to produce the desirable
natural color for the cloth under consideration.
A less proportion OF dark wool would produce
too light color OF cloth and would not meet
the requirements of the army In peace time
with the present strength of the Regular
Army, there will be no shortage OF black wool
put IN the event Of war il would be necessary
TO use dyes In producing the cloth for the uni
FORM OF large army. To provide for this con-
tingeney General Sharpe is now conducting in
yestigatlons TO determine whether a domestic
aye can be secured for eolorng cloth. Unless
this can be done the position OF the War De-
partment will not be improved by adopting the
new cloth The European war has called at
tention OF the War Department TO the fact that
the present cloth for uniforms cannot be pro-
dneed without the use OF German dyestufs
Ihls faet Is responsible for the effort that Is now
being made 10 secure a cloth that can be pro-
duced without the importation OF any foreign
material Not until the cloth can be found
which can be manufactured without the use OF
such material viii there be any change IN the
uniform OF the army.

same demand as before. Only the money
and work win 80 to grown men and women.
In the face Of such an attempt ~ Mr..
Grundy's to stagger the public mind with
massed figures, the FIRST duty Of the press is
TO point out that tho greater the number OF
children thrown out Of employment, the
greater the number thrown into school Ten
thousand, a hundred thousand boys and girls
without work means better brains, better
health and better ideals for another day.
Given moro than half a glance, the figures
OF Mr.. Grundy carry their own answer, their
own defeat
But will Mr.. Grundy tell us how the fami-
lies OF 1927 children earning an average
wage of s5 a week can be deprived Of t1t,-
100000 a year by the transfer Of the children
from the factories to the schools7 At the
worst It could be only quarter Of this sum
in wages

Playrrounds Closed-Friseo Omen

TETILLIE is hitching on the back Of the
w Ice wagons. Mary is playing hopscotch
on the asphalt. And all the dangers, physi-
cal and moral of the streets are lurking in
wait for them while the Fairgrounds arc
closed.
But the junketeer- guardsmen OF Councils
are off to the Fair.
That is the exact situation. The Finance
Committee found without much difficulty the
$4,000 necessary for Councils Liberty Bell
pass to San Francisco. But the Finance
Committee couldn't find the $4,000 that
would have kept nine public Fairgrounds
open which are now closed down for lack of
paid instructors
There is nothing to do about it, of course
Councils won't be back for business till Sep
tember meanwhile the city summer takes It's
toll
Chalk up one more civic achievement on
the monument of Councils. The voter will
have chance to collect the little mortuary
bill in November

Thaw Is sane-Are We?

T1HAw is sane. The jury has settled it, II
lnot the Judge.
Thaw is guiltless of murder A jury settled
that some years back.
Just what makes the difference? Is it the
homeopathic influence of Matteawan? Has
Thaw been cured by medical skill-or legal?
Alienists and jurymen pronounce Thaw
sane today. Alienists and jurymen would
doubtless have pronounced him sane ten
years before the crime. Yet the crime is a
fact Paranoia has loosed the bonds of san
ity on one occasion. VIII 1t do so again?
What can be the outcome of such thoughts
on case that has wasted human energy and
human life for almost a decade? Can 1t be
anything else than an avowal that the Thaw

breeds fosters and arms degeneracy and
accuses an instrument of justice which is
powerless 10 deal fairly and finally with It?

Why Busy Men Are Called

THE name OF Thomas A. Edison is
4 synonym for busy efficiency: a man so
busy that he hardly has time to read his
mail. much less to get the sleep a normal
man requires. Yet he Is ready TO consecrate
his time and talents to the service OF his
country on the Navy Advisory Board that
our navy may be made ready and efficient.
The same is true Of the other inventive
geniuses who either have agreed or are un-
deFstood to consider favorabIy positions on
the board.
II was because he was always busy that
Alexander Graham Bell contributed so much
TO the progress OF the world with the inven-
tion Of the telephone; and that orvine
Wright and his brother, the late Wilbur
Wright, We're able to give the world the first
practical flying machine, They are the TYNE
OF men who are being enlisted 70 improve

To be sure, they are busy. That is what
makes them so Invaluable to science AS

the world wants something done it asks a
busy man to do It,

state Charity BEGINS at Home

NHARITY begins at home, as much for the
~ State as for the Individual Until the
charitable institutions OF the State are in the
best of shape, Pennsylvania must think
twice about appropriations for private chari-
ties.
This should be no excuse for deprivations,
for endangerlng worthy private institutions
by a sudden withdrawal of support. But the
very difficulty Of determining what private
charities are an unjust burden what chari-
ties are being run uneconomically, even dis
honestly. is an argument for the States
closest attention to it's own.
The whole situation needs thorough over
hauling and inspection, and then sane re-
adjustment Of the support that the State
now gives so lavishly.

Congress Not Needed

IJANNIs TAYLOR, former Ambassador to
IL Spain, is so worked up over our rela-
tions with Germany that he advocates the
immediate calling OF Congress in special ses-
sion But in what respect would Congress
aid the diplomacy OF President Wilson or
make the European belligerents feel any
more kindly toward each other? Political OBJ
servers from one end of the country to the
other say that Mr. Wilson is stronger than
his party. Isn't he also stronger than Con-
gress right now? The last thing the country
wants in Washington is a man with a hasty
pen.

ono More Dose Of Couneilr

! THE first day OF jltney litigation brought
i out a number Of interesting things be-
sides the verbal pyrotechnics of Judge sulz-
berger.
Tho jitney partisans were undoubtedly
most interested and concerned with the AMI
davits submitted and tho Judges apparent
antagonsm toward them II the oath Of
the drivers and observers Is to bo believed a
fun Ford car driving from SD street to the
ferries finished cent and three-quarters
ahead. while cars on the Broad street route
showed varying losses from seven to sixteen
cents trip. Judge Sulzberger's objection
that a car may often take on passengers for
only few blocks and drop them for new
fares took no account of tho number Of trips
during the slack hours of the day when the
car may be nearly empty. To an inexpert
and dslnterested observer the jitney men
seemed to prove their contention that the law
is conhscatory
But that appears to be quite beside the
polnt-which is the really important thing In
yesterdays proceedings from tho point of
Wow OF inc average ClllAens lHe law may
be conflscatory; it may be only deliberate
means Of driving the jitneys out of business.
But 1t is within Councils rights to pass it.
City Solicitor Ryan declared
have looked up tho Supreme Court de-
cislons and I find that Councils have
right to build canal in Chestnut street
II they want to. The question of their
right to regulate the jtneys In this city
dissolves itself into vapor There is
question about it. Councils may do what
they please about the streets.
That is a thing to know, to ponder and to
remember. Councils may do what they
please about the streets" They may also
do what they please about housing, play
grounds, business and dozen other vital
interests. The only answer is that the voters
can do what they please about Councils.
If they don't do something in November

perlence is futile, meaningless word,
