A TEST FOR TEUToN POWER

Whether Roumania shall be crush
ed by the united efforts Of Germans,
Austrians, Bulgars, and Turks, will
depend on whether there is enough
reserve force in the interior alliance
to administer such kick as would
be required. 1t will need a big kick,
and Falkenhayn is going to admin
lister it if it is in the possibilities.
1t is not beyond reason to guess
that if Roumania lasts till January
/ it will lbe because there is not
enough spare force, after taking
care of the lines east and west, to
administer to her the punishment
that was meted to Serbia. There
are particularly urgent reasons why
Roumania must be crushed. Not to
crush her is to be defeated by her.
For her continuance as a military
factor in being almost assures that
the Balkanzug will be cut. Turkey
pried away from the alliance, and
the Teuton dreams Of empire in
Asia shattered. Moreover, if Rou-
mania is to be wrecked, it must be
done quickly, with one magnificent
concentration of force. Therefore
Germany is under pressing necessity
to do the task if the possible ability
to do it can be commanded.
1t is almost as necessary for Rou-
mania's allies to save Roumania; but
yet not so absolutely necessary. They
are now committed to winning the
war by a military decision on the
western front. They might lose
Bahama and still win on the west;
but Germany cannot stand against
the continued attacks of Russians,
Roumanians, and the Sarrail forces,
and still win at the west. 1t is, con-
seQuently, of the keenest interest
that Roumania is pulling herself to-
gether, throwing back her enemies
on some fronts, and stiffening her
fight in anticipation of the aid that
her allies are hurrying to her.

BETTER REFINING MEANS
CHEAPER GASOLINE

The Standard Oil Company Of In
diana, after extensive experiments
with the Burton cracking process
of increasing the yield of gasolene
from petroleum, announces that it
will install this system in all its
plants just as fast as possible. The
Burton is only one of a number Of
processes for breaking the molecules
and thus making a more volatile oil,
which will work in carburetors.
Better methods Of recovery are
thus making a given production Of
petroleum turn out constantly in
creasing amount Of power for in
ternal combustion engines. Car
buretors, too, are being developed to
use gasolene of lower specific grav-
ity, which tends to increase still fur
Their the power potentiality of the
petroleum. 1t is only a short while
since it was supposed that motor
gasolene must be Of from 60 to 81
specific gravity; now So is the index
for the largest proportion; much is
used at 81, and a general use of that
which registers so is predicted for
the near future.
All these factors are responsible
for considerable reduction of
gasolene prices since the high points
Of few months ago. Higher prices
have not decreased the consumption,
though they are believed somewhat
to have checked the rate of its in
crease. Good authority declares that
despite the contributions from new
borings, there is probably less pro-
duction of crude. Yet, thanks to
processes that increase the recovery
Of motor fuel, the price of crude has
fallen from $1.55, last springs high
point, to 80 cents per barrel for
Oklahoma oil. For the time being
at least, concern about the early ex-
haustion of our oil supplies is far
less acute than it was.

OF more than passing importance
10 the movement launched yester
day by the Mothers Club of the Ed
munds School, in this city, for in
struction in typewriting in the grad
cd schools. The man or woman who
will give the matter the attention il
deserves will be convinced that here
is an extremely practical way in
which to teach the rising generation
TO look after itself and to make the
public schools of greater use to the
community.
The president Of the club, in sub
hitting the proposition to her fellow
members, called attention to the fact
that she had made a practical inves-
tigation Of the matter by learning
to typewrite. She found it an easy
accomplishment, and is astonished
that everyone does not know how to
use a machine.
This is typewriting age. Con-
venience, accuracy, and speed are
subserved by using a machine in
stead of pen to do the writing the
world requires in its business. It is
not too extravagant, perhaps, to pre-
dict that the time will very shortly
come what handwriting will be a lost
art and writing will be done by
machine.
1t seems not only extremely prac-
teal but highly necessary that some
note be made of this tendency, and
that the coming generation be as
thoroughly instructed in typewriting
as in other elements thought to be
part of all primary education.

SELECTING LATIN.AMERICA
INVESTMENTS

Frances experience in financial
adventuring in South America has
been considerable. In some cases
it has been unfortunate, and one Of
the most notable of these cases 10
Brazil. For many years Brazilian
bonds, governmental, state, and in
dustrial, had warm reception on
the Paris bourse and sold at high
figures. The French investor had a
warm place in his heart for his South
American cousin, and showed his
sentiments in his investments.
In all, Brazilian enterprises sold
bonds to French investors to total
of $500, 200, 900 or over. Then came
the crash of the rubber boom, short
ly before the opening of the war,
and prices tumbled. They have been
going down ever since, due princi-
pally to interest defaults on most of
the state and government bonds. A
conservative estimate of the shrink
age of values of French securities in
Brazil would be one-third of the in
vestment.
The disastrous Brazil railway ven-
ture meant loss to the French in
weston of about 40 per cent, and other
industrials have shown a similar
course. For France to loan any con-
siderable amount to Brazil after the
close of the war, even if she were
able to do so, is unlikely, for Brazil
in credit now ranks with Ecuador,
Paraguay, and Peru. Furthermore,
Brazil is a two-crop nation; if rub
Der or coffee crops fail there are
bad times.
The lesson of this to the American
investor is plain. Americans should
investigate investment opportunities
in Latin-America long and hard be-
fore putting up funds. Properly
selected, these investments are at
tractive, and will vastly strengthen
the United States in a field that is
certain in time to produce splendid
returns.

MR.. HUGHES STANDS FOR "vIs-
IBLE" GOVERNMENT

II ever there was an instance of
strictly visible government it was
given during the administrations Of
Charles Evans Hughes at Albany.
That capital had been the seat Of
rather the most highly developed
form Of invisible government that
the country knew. There had been
a curious bi-party division Of New
York for spoils; a Democratic ma
chine in the city and Republican
machine upstate understood each
other perfectly, and "honest graft"
as well as some other kinds. was
sacred, in each jurisdiction, to its
beneficiaries.
Hughes came into power, and it
presently became perfectly plain that
he couldn't and wouldn't understand
that sort of thing. He wouldn't
learn about it; he was deaf to ap-
peals, to cajoleries, to deals. He
found the bifurcated organizations
opposed to legislation to which he
was pledged, and so he went out and
stumped the State, right in the
midst of a legislative session, de-
handing the support of the people,
calling on them to bring pressure to
bear on representatives who were
disappearing them. He took his
case right out into the broad day
light, and won it there. He never
did learn anything about the old,
devious, burrowing methods of in
visible government. The country
came to regard him as the foremost
administrator in getting results
without making concessions to
special, selfish, private interests.
That conviction about him was the
basis of his powerful hold on public
confidence.
There could be no more unfair and
unintelligent attack on Hughes than
the charge that he is going to be, or
is capable Of being, an instrument
for outworking the purposes of in
visible government. Fortunately
the unfairness Of it cannot possibly
injure him, for the public knows. 1t
is just such excuseless and ground
less accusations that convict their
sponsors of dishonesty. The Ameri-
can people know Hughes too we'll.
Charging against him the particular
offenses of which the whole public
knows he is peculiarly guiltless is
going to injure the campaign of his
antagonist vastly more than it will
harm him.

COOPERATION IN FOREIGN
COMMERCE

Announcement Of the organiza-
ton of big cooperative scheme for
selling American lumber abroad, in
dicates that practical results may be
expected from the efforts in this di-
rcction. The sales company will act
on behalf of about 80 per cent Of
the production of Douglas fir in this
country. The Federal Trade Com
mission has given its general ap-
proval to the plan, which under
takes to accomplish useful results
while steering clear of the antitrust
law.
The lumber business has been in
the doldrums for two or three years,
largely because of the wider use of
steel, cement, tnd other materials in
building. A few years ago there
would have been satisfaction in the
prospect for a decline in the con-
sumption of domestic lumber. In
deed, there were serious projects
looking to restriction of lumber ex-
ports. But conditions in lumber
manufacturing have become such
that an expansion of lumber markets
is now regarded as desirable, and
the national authorities have been
anxious to cooperate in helping Sc
cure the business that is expected to
increase greatly after the war.
Meanwhile the Webb bill, which is
intended to permit corporations of
this kind in order to reduce the ex-
penses Of foreign trade, failed to
pass Congress at the last session.
Such organizations as the National
Foreign Trade Council, and many
special manufacturing. interests,
have been organizing to press it to
passage at the coming session.

PARALYSIS GERM LOCATED

Johns Hopkins University has
made another valuable contribution
to medical science and, what is more
important, to humanity. In an
nouncing the discovery that the in
fantile paralysis germ is taken into
the system by the mouth, since it is
found only in the big intestine,
Psychologists pave the way for a
more effective campaign of proven
ton.
Already experts are working for a
vaccine which will inure persons
against poliomytelitis, just as an
anti-typhoid vaccine now is used to
combat typhoid. But pending the
finding Of such a vaccine practical
application of the discovery may be
made by directing attention of
health authorities to the food sup
ply of communities rather than to
efforts, which now would seem to be
futile, of segregation of children.
When formal statement of the
findings of the Johns Hopkins ex-
pert is made Washington and other
communities will have reason to al
ter the rather drastic regulations re-
garding isolation of victims. It will
be remembered that the regulations
passed here did not have the indorse-
ment of Health Officer w. C. Wood,
ward. He pointed out the fact
that in many cites, notably Philadel.
phia. where not more than two cases
appeared on the same block, the evi,
dence was all against contagion by
personal contact.
In the cases of babies obviously
milk or water was the source Of
contamination, since. these were the
only things the babies ate or drank

Those In charge OF the Friendship

claim to the word educational" for
more than ono reafon.
The first Montesorri school In the
country was started at Friendship
House. There are also classes for the
older people. including sewing. cooking,
basketry. carpentry. and music.
For the last two years another line of
work has been carried on which has
proved its value. This new work has
taken the form of study classes. started
first for the older children of the nurs-
cry and then broadencd to include boys
and girls who are perhaps not doing
well at the graded school and lack the
proper facilities for study at home.
Meet Every Night.
These groups meet al Friendship House
every evening during the school year.
and there, with the ever-ready aid OF
the women In charge, do their home
work for the next day. They not only
have the benefit of a quiet place to
study. with the private branch of the
Public Library from which they may
get reference books, but each group is
in charge of an elder person who is al
ways ready to give an explanation here
and there.
Almost without exception the children
in these classes have been able to pass
to the next grade at the end of the
school year.
For the child who has TO leave school
at the age of fourteen or fifteen TO so
TO work, II is OF the greatest Importance
that he reach as high grade as pos

Der OF children who have to remain in
one grade for two years, the values OF
these classes down at Friendship House
can be appreciated.

keep holy the Sabbath day" would
perhaps sound more euphonious II It
were as familiar to US as the older
form of that same injunction; and
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep
it holy" might impress us as little
archaic in form if we were not so
familiar with it. But the gain In
making so slight an amendment is
not very apparent.
It is proposed to eliminate from
the marriage ceremony the express
sion, "as Isaac and Rebecca lived
faithfully together" and substitute
simply Giving faithfully together"
Isaac and Rebecca are not regarded
as entitled to be set up as sole
models Of family conduct. BY the
same argument, it would seem, obey
might reasonably go. 1t doesn't have
any particular meaning that any
body takes seriously or expects shall
be taken seriously. II cumbers a
very beautiful and solemn ceremony,
that ought to make lasting impress
sion, with something that at least
might weaken the effectiveness
of more essential parts. Wifely
obedience is pretty academic
issue nowadays. Possibly in a
woman suffrage era the eccles-
iastic and state authorities might
fall out over real effort to
bind the lady to vote as her husband
directed. Anyhow, the wise hus-
band isn't going to try to do it, nor
the twentieth century wife to do it

THE ACADEMIC "OBEY" DEBATE

The Protestant Episcopal Church
convention is considering the sig
nificance of "obey" in the marriage
ceremony. A joint commission on
common prayer made a report, and
its minority favored eliminating
woman's promise to obey. This
recommendation was referred back
by the house of deputies to the COM
mission, on the ground that there
was not now time to consider all the
revision proposed in the prayers and
the marriage ceremony.
This same minority report pro-
poses that five Of the ten command
ments be shortened; and the text
suggested does not in all cases COM
mend itself. Remember that thou
