QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Filthy Lucre,

Some time since I read in the paper
about a government expert finding the
germs of smallpox, scarlet fever, meas
les and other diseases on paper money
which had been in general circulation.
Is there danger of these diseases be-
ing carried by paper money!?
Answer-That must have been a dream
perpetrated by some hard pressed cor
respondent. No one has as yet isolated
the germ of smallpox or of scarlet fever
or measles, though these diseases are
probably germ diseases. Some of our
treasury notes rightly merit the descrip-
ton filthy lucre,'' but there is no rea-
son to believe that paper money, books,
letters and the like ever convey disease.
The actual carriers of disease are live
persons, animals, insects

Posture and Health.

| Good or bad posture is largely mat
ter of habit, yet faulty posture is a
strain upon endurance and sure fac
tor of poor health. Young men enter
ing o. S. Army training camps OF
military schools are early introduced
to the habit Of maintaining a good
posture.
It has been found by actual X-ray
observation that an Individual may lift
the stomach and transverse colon from
two to six inches, when these organs
are ptosed or sagging, by simply as
Stunning good erect posture with chest
high, chin in, crown of head high-as
though endeavoring to reach an mag
mary ceiling with it, abdomen drawn
in and up.
Sagging of stomach and colon are
now recognized as common factors of
chronic digestive disturbances and ill
health. Mans upright posture brings
with it a numerous brood of major
and minor ills which the lower animals
escape. But these troubles (from Wis
ceroptosis or sagging of abdominal
organs) are not due to upright posture
in itself, but to slouchy posture. It
is true that certain individuals have

tendency to relaxation of the sup
porting Igaments and structures, yet
even these weak framed individuals
may ward off much trouble by practic-
ing good posture in sitting, standing
and walking.
For instance, many people slump
down in their chairs or seats so that
they really sit upon the wings or back
part of the hip bones. This throws
strain upon the joint uniting hip bones
to the spine, and many a backache is
produced in just this way. It also
seriously impedes digestion and
breathing
In standing many people form the
habit of resting one leg, with the other
leg bent at the knee. This throws the

Submarine Losses.

A statement comes from Berlin posi-
lively to the effect that every subma-
rine that started out from German bases
to undertake the ruthless undersea war
fare proclaimed January % has now re-
turned, not one having been captured
or sunk by entente patrols On the other
hand, a passenger on the steamer Car
mania, just in from Liverpool, asserts
that between February l and Is British
naval scouts, trawlers, destroyers and
patrol boats took no less than forty
eight German submarines. sinking most
of them after capture. The passengers
story was confirmed by officers and sea-
men of the Carmania. Which tale is
correct?
1t is, of course. to the interest of Ger
many to conceal all losses, whether by
land or sea, and especially to her in
terest to prevent the disclosure. if pos
sible, of any losses suffered by the sub
marine fleet. 1t happens to be the pol
icy of the British government to assist
Germany in this concealment by keep
ing secret all captures or distinctions
effected by the anti isubmarine fleet.
Thus no official denials of the German
claim that the submarines have not suf-
fercd losses will be forthcoming.
That none of the submarines have
come to grief in the course of the past
five weeks of activity is hardly credible.
Doubtless the tales that are told of Brit
ish captures and sinkings of submarines
are exaggerated, yet it is fair to assume
that some of the undersea craft have
gone down under gunfre or in the mesh
es of nets or from the violence of the
sea, which has ragged furiously during
the five weeks of unrestricted submarine
warfare.
1t is not wholly safe to judge from
the lessened reports of vessel losses that
the submarines have been greatly de-

cited the story that the republicans of
the House are preparing to collect tariff
statistics through agencies of their own.
Their contention is that the Underwood
law needs revision on protection lines
and that is their aim. If they organize
the House they will prepare and pass
a bill of such character, and challenge
the democratic Senate on it. If they
play the minority part again they will
present their tariff views and challenge
the democratic House In either event,
therefore, an old-fashioned tariff con-
test in Congress seems scheduled.
A scientific tariff-whatever that may
be-is more popular demand now in
the ranks of the anti-protcctionists than
a tariff for revenue only used to be.
The latter cry has lost ground in the
last few years, partly because of the
failure of the Underwood law to pro-
vide sufficient revenue, and partly be-
cause of the exposure of that bowling
old absurdity which saddled on protec
tion responsibility for the high cost of
living. A new cry was made necessary,
and "science" was drawn upon in its
construction.

Confession and Avoidance.

Austria's answer to the American note
of INQUIRY regarding submarine war
fare is what is known in law as a plea
of confession and avoidance. 1t ac-
knowledges the fact and seeks to JUS
tify it. That this answer was, If not
dictated in Berlin, at least submitted
to German scrutiny and revision before
dispatching is assumed. Austria will
play the game according to German
rules. And so the Austrian answer is
thus to be viewed as tantamount to the
reply Germany would have given had
the United States met the proclamation
of January 2S with another note, leav-
ing diplomatic relations unbroken.
The principle of warning is recognized,
but Austria contends that it is sufficient
to warn in general terms, by declaring
in advance of operations that all yes
sells entering the prescribed zone viii
be sunk on sight The United States
holds to the contrary principle, that
neutral ships have the right to navigate
the seas, subject only to capture if en-
gagged in the carriage of contraband,
and possibly to destruction in the ex-
isting conditions of naval warfare, but
that such destruction must not be ac-
complished without specific and suffi-
cient warning to insure the safety of
the ships company in every case. The
United States has long since repudiated
the proposition that a general warning
sufices
In another respect the Austrian note
takes issue with the American position,
by declaring that armed merchantmen
are not to be recognized as peaceful yes
sells of trade, but are of pirate char
acter, and, therefore, entitled to no con-
sideration. The United States is even
now endeavoring to find a way under
existing statutes, or failing such a way
to change the laws of this country,
whereby its merchantmen may be armed
by the government itself to enable them
in greater safety to go to sea in the
ordinary pursuit of trade and the car
riage of passengers. The declaration of
piracy against all such vessels will be
one of the hardest of all the Austrian
propositions for the United States to
swallow
Austria's long and involved reasoning
on the subject of submarine warfare in
justification of practice which is not in
the least condoned, is evidence merely
of desire to postpone diplomatic
break with the United States.

The Wreckers at Work.

The melancholy task of dismantling the
stands and courts of honor, which were
erected for the Inauguration, is now un-
der way. This is disagreeab1e, unprofit-
able duty that Washington must perform
every four years. Many days are occupied
in the creation of these temporary struc
lures and only few hours suffice to re
move them completely. Much money is
spent in their erection. The stands, in
most cases, prove profitable to those who
undertake their construction, though IN
a few instances, especially when the
weather is as unpropitious for an out
door affair as last Monday, these ven
lures are financial failures. The courts
of honor, however. are not designed for
total loss, contribution to the attrac-
tiveness of the city at inauguration
time
Especially attractive this year was the
main court of honor in front of the
White House. 1t was remarked by all
visitors as worthy of perpetuation. The
suggestion has been advanced that it
would be we'll to have some such design
worked out in stone, for permanent
service. not merely as an ornament, but
for use on such occasions as the review
of troops and parades of citizens. 1t
need not be as large or elaborate as the
temporary stand and line of parallel col
umns now in the hands of the wreckers.
1t might readily be made on lines that
would harmonize with the White House
and become part of the setting of that
structure.
This idea is worthy of consideration
by the fine arts commission and the
members of the committees of Congress
charged with the matter of appropria-
tions for public buildings. A perma-
nent marking of the space in front of
the Executive Mansion would add to the
significance of the promises and give
delight to the eye, while providing suit
able facilities for the reviewing of the
representatives of the people by the
President on ceremonial occasions

Leader Martin.

| The return of Mr. Martin to the lead
ership of the Senate marks two things
0 The decay of Mr.. Bryan's influence
in that body, and (2) the purpose of the
majority there to steer a conservative
and unsensational course.
! 1t was the Bryan power-then strong
in the democratic party-that practical
ly deposed the Virginia senator from
the Senate leadership some years ago.
He had never opposed Mr.. Bryan at the
! polls-had always been loyal to the
party's pronouncements, both as to can
didates and platforms. But as he had
not worshiped ct either the Bryan shrine
or the shrine of free silver he was un-
der the Bryan ban. He had served well
in the place of leader-had brought to
the place his ability and diligence. But
that was not enough to satisfy the
Bryanites in the party; and they took
open satisfaction in the change that was
made.
Mr.. Martins conservatism dates from
his entrance into politics. He was
chosen for the Senate the first time be-
cause of that quality in his character.
His competitor was Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
then in the flush of the reputation he
had made few years before as consul
general at Havana. All Virginia was
very proud of Gen. Lee But when it
came to the senatorship, calm CON
sideration of the Office and all involved
suggested that Mr. Martin, sound law
yer and level headed man all around,
was the better equipped, and he was
chosen.
How well he has justified that choice
is shown by the fact that he is now in
the middle of his fourth consecutive
term, with every prospect of another
election. Seldom heard in debate, but
whenever heard with profit to the Sen
ate, he ranks with the most capable and
successful of the men who cut out the
Senate's work, see it through the COM
mittee stages, and guard it from dis
aster in the open chamber. He is
model senator in point of attendance
and watchfulness as well as of capacity
and breadth of view. He is at once a
good partisan and liberal minded man
in all matters of public concern.
This latest honor to Mr.. Martin is
most highly appreciated in Washington.
A near neighbor,. he has in Office famil-
iarized himself with the towns affairs,
and always exhibited a warm and
friendly spirit toward the community's
growth and upkeep, and been of much
service whenever unfriendly policies
needed combating

Let the Grand Juries Go Further.

The indictment of 10s corporations
and 55 individuals for conspiring to fix
the price of coal, by the federal grand
jury in New York, indicates the method
that might be applied proftably to the
matter of food prices, which, the public
firmly believes, and every indication
suggests, are fixed by some more tangi-
BILE process than the traditional claw of
supply and demand" What a grand
jury can do in the matter of coal
price fixing it doubtless could do in the
matter of cabbage and onion and meat
price regulation. The moral effect of
the activity of the grand juries in seek
ing the cause of universal and uniform
price movements would undoubtedly be
immediate and beneficial A failing
market may be confidently predicted for
the day after such a countrywide work
is begun.

The Tariff Commission.

Still no tariff commission Why, no.
body seems to know. There was expec-
tation that the President would send in
the names in time for Senate action be-
fore the 4th. He may have been re-
strained by the Senate conditions, which
embraced jam of nominations as well
were not sent in, and guessing contin-
ues as to who will be commissioned for
that work.
Report has had it that the President
was finding difficulty in securing men
of the grade upon which he had fixed.
The grade was represented as high. He
wanted what may be called com bination
experts-that is, men who had both
theorized about tariffs and observed the
practical operations of tariffs imposed.
The majority of such men. it is init
mated, are not open to the offer They
are well placed and contented in private
life. Neither the Office nor the salary
attached tempts them. Besides. they
probably know that whatever they might
do in aid of movement to take the
tariff out of politics would go for little,
if anything; that the tariff is very much
in politics, and will stay there.
In support of this statement may be

pleted by the work Of the patrols. For
the falling off in merchantmen sinkings
may have been due to the presence of
fewer vessels within the zone of pro-
scription. The British deny that there
has been any material reduction in the
tonnage afoat, but this denial is not
convincing in view of conditions
in our own ports, with large fleet of
merchantmen tied up for lack of de-
fensive armament. Yet ships continue
to get through the war zone unscathed,
some of them after pursuit, some with
out sighting submarines. The under
sea patrol is plainly not fully effective.
But if the submarine loss has been very
small, British shipping is undergoing a
dangerous and unchecked, though di-
minished, drain.
