GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Speaking before the Midcity Citi-
Eens' Association last evening Com
missioner Brownlow again urged the
ACCESSIBILITY of building a municipal
garbage plant in Washington. The
Times has pointed to the economy of
such a project and has given figures
of the relative cost of the contract
system and operation of city owned
plant. The Commissioner reiteRtes
that the city could pay for the plant
in fifteen years.
Washington should collect its gar
bage for the same reason that it
sweeps its streets. No one would
now advocate going back to the con-
tract system for street cleaning. Yet
the arguments for a municipal gar
bage plant are even stronger. For
one thing the contracts now are let
every five years, and the price named
in the bids virtually represents cost
Of the construction of a new plant
for each five-year period. That IS
why the last contract was let upon
the price filed by a single bidder.
One drawback to the disposal plant
which is contemplated in connection
with municipal collection has been
removed. Formerly it was feared
that its location in the District would
entail unpleasant odors. Recently,
as reported after investigation by
the Superintendent of Street Clean
ing, who has charge of garbage col
lection as well, devices have been
perfected by which this danger can
be eliminated.
Organizations which have an eye to
municipal economy can undertake no
better work than pushing a cam
paign to have this city collect and
dispose of its own garbage and other
refuse.

against her enemies she will not be
allowed to violate American honor
nor outrage American citizenship.
In taking this position, regardless
of the form in which it is asserted,
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Lansing will
have the full and ungrudging sup
port of the American people. But
with our Government showing reso-
Lutte and courageous front and our
people united behind it, in our best
Judgment, we have little to fear. We
have little doubt that to some de-
gree at least Germany is expert
menting with our temper. When
she finds that it cannot be tried too
far, we still entertain hope that she
will back away within the safety
limits.

HIGH COST OF DELIVERY

A proposal by the railroads to eff
feet a 5 per cent increase IN freight
rates always can be counted upon
to raise a clamor from Maine to the
Golden Gate. 1t becomes the SUBJ
ject Of extensive hearings before the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and thousands of editorial guns are
turned loose upon it, with dire pre-
dictions about the effect upon the
high cost of living.
The American public has had this
one subject of the cost of railroad
transportation pounded so thorough.
y into its consciousness that it seems
unable to glimpse any other reason
for advancing prices. Yet any man
woman, or child, can throw aside the
newspaper, look out Of the window
and in half an hours time see scores
of reasons for the high cost of many
Of the things we eat and most of the
things we use.
For example, a study of the cost

WHAT THE MENUS PROVE

Now that the experts Of the Life
Extension Institute have finished a
three weeks experiment with heroes
of Commissioner Woods New York
police department who had the cour-
age to live on their prescribed diet,
what does the experiment prove?
Many skeptical folk have asked that
question, and no answer, SO far as we
have noted, has come from the engi-
neers of the project. Therefore we
venture to advance our own conclu-
sions:
The use Of the word "diet" indi-
Gates that the experts regarded their
experiment as something rather arti-
fetal, and hardly to be considered as
a routine bill of fare that most folk
would undertake.
The makeup of the menus, formu-
lated from the standpoint of calories,
further bears out this assumption,
and the fact that they stressed fuel
value rather than the palatable
quality, makes them academic in a
day when most folk eat because they
like to rather than for stoking pur-
poses.
The cost Of the 25-cent a day diet
is based on careful buying, on a
wholesale basis, engineered by ex-
perts, and the layman cannot dis
Germ clearly how he could get even
this limited diet for the same money
without the benefit of some co-opera-
tive buying plan, and expert knowl-
edge of prices and values.
In brief, the menus and their cost
furnish an experimental basis for
planning other diets and menus for
the use Of the average household.
Until these practical conclusions of
the test are completed, it is hard to
see how the average person is to
profit in eating either more calori-
cally or economically.

HOW FAR CAN GERMANY COZ

Looked at from the point Of view
of the allies, the new German out
burst is a most encouraging confess
sion of disaster and defeat. The eff
ficiency of the British blockade is
bringing the German people to the
verge of starvation and exhaustion,
so that the future stamina Of the
race is imperiled, is admitted in ex-
plicit terms. This is more than the
most confident Britisher could have
hoped for.
But this is not all. The entire note
as well as the new war policy which
it announces proclaim the inability Of
German arms to secure victory by
any means save and except by
"frightfulness" at sea. All the talk
of taking Paris or st. Petersburg, Of
invading Egypt, or marching on Brit
aims Indian empire, has vanished.
The one way out for Germany now
is to starve England by wiping her
commerce from the seas through
methods in contravention Of the laws
of war and the principles of human
ity.. This is Germany's one surviv-
ing hope.
The question, then is plainly: Can
she do it? It is said she has 500
submarines and can carry out her
fell purpose by disregarding all the
pledges that she has given to our
Government. In a word, we do not
believe it. We do not believe she
has any much greater number Of
submarines than are already in oper-
alton. It is incredible that she
should have them and have kept
them idle. There has been great
submarine activity for months and
it is fair to suppose that especially
when operating under restrictions
the German naval authorities would
utilize every unit of activity they
possessed.
This leaves merely the question as
to what degree of efficiency may be
added to the existing force by reck-
less disregard Of law. We cannot
see that it will be very great.
Matched against the new and ex-
traordinary preventive measures Of
the British, it is likely to be neg
ligible, except in the stimulation of
hatred and adherence. Something
the new frightfulness may add to
England's embarrassment, but not
enough, we are very certain, to affect
materially the fortunes or the pros
poets of the war.

MARYLAND'S STATE COLLEGE


Action of the State board of agri-
culture Of Maryland in electing one
of the ceuntry's foremost experts in
rural problems, DR.. Albert F. Woods
of the University of Minnesota, to
the presidency of Maryland Agricul-
tural College, and empowering him
to carry out broad plans for expan-
sion of the college work, especially
in relation to farming, has more than
a .neighborly interest for Washing
ton.
In the absence Of any institution
in the District corresponding to the
State colleges, or of any institution
affording preparation for vocation
now generally recognized as full of
promise, many Washington boys
turn yearly to Maryland Agricul-
tural College. That institution has
been doing its work thoroughly, but
It has been hampered in the scope of
it by lack of physical equipment or
adequate funds for engaging enough
men of high caliber for its faculty.
The extension of its work means pro-
viding both the District and Mary
land with college where young men
may get the same sort of training
afforded by the great State universe
ties of the North and West.
DR.. Woods not only becomes presi-
dent Of the college but executive Of
f1cer of the State board of agricul-
ture. This should mean a linking of
the collegiate work more closely to
the practical problems that face the
farmers of Maryland. That State
has not kept pace with other COM
monwealths in developing its land re-
sources. Some of its land is poor,
but not too poor, experts say, to
yield good crops if properly cult
waited. Other tracts of great rich
ness, especially along the shores of
the Chesapeake, never have been
titled at all. Putting Maryland on
the farm map means much to Wash
ington, because yearly we look to
that State more and more for food
supplies, and a considerable increase
in the produce of Maryland is apt
to have a direct bearing on the fu-
ture cost of living in the District of
Columbia.
The Washington times., 1917-02-01

of city delivery Of coal in Philadel-
phia is reported as showing that the
buyer pays twice as much to. get
coal delivered from a dealer a mile
away from his home as he did to
have it brought from point 100
miles distant by rail. The same con-
dition was forcibly brought out in the
recent inquiries here into the rela-
tive cost of getting milk from the
producer to the middleman and
from the middleman to the consumer.
Delivery from grocery to home is
one of the biggest single factors in
the high cost of bread.
This is not the middleman's fault.
He is not making excessive profits.
But he is maintaining an expensive
delivery system, duplicated by
dozens of his competitors, mostly be-
cause the public has not yet turned
its attention to this significant prob
lem of getting products from retail
ers to homes. Western cities have
taken this situation in hand, and
they have begun attacking the high
cost of living, through cooperative
delivery enterprises, at their own
doors.
Once any considerable number of
folk are induced to think about the
process by which finished products
reach them, and are persuaded to
trace the course of these products
from producer to consumer, the first

Cheap Feeding and Low Wages.

Much ado Is being made of the feed

economists have much to say about
the wonderful results that have been
reached. They know so little really
of a practical sort that 1t is not

a person can live on rs cents a day.
Richard Philip Quinn says in a letter
to a New York newspaper that "the
average person does not spend as
much as % cents a day on his food.

children, who, for instance, gets S13
