Milk Prices

Mr.. Hoover has said nothing new in
declaring that relief from the present
high prices of milk must come from re-
duction in distribution cost here. That is
obvious from the facts spread on the
records of the various milk investiga
tlons. The milk producers get somewhat
less than half of what the consumer
pays. Whether or not the actual money
they receive ought to render them
profit on scientifically managed farms,
the fact remains that because they re-
ceive SO little some of them have gone
out of business and others have greatly
reduced their herds. Yet as business
proposition it is almost impossible to paw
them more. An increase in their rates
is promptly passed along-with little
added--to the consumers, and there
upon the consumption of milk drops,
with disastrous results to city babies.
The middlemen, or distributors, don't
suffer IN percentage of profts at worst,
they suffer merely in the volume of
their business.
Since the public must drink some milk.
and IN view of that articles food value
ought to drink great deal more than it
does, it is manifest that the state suf
fers severely through the reduction of
the number of its cattle. But the limit
OF the average consumers purchasing
power has been reached with the pre-
vailing high prices. There remains only
the course which Mr.. Hoover has again
brought to the public's attention-some
form OF combination of milk distribu-
ters, or elimination of most of them.

Less Than They Deserve

couple of weeks ago we strongly in
dorsed a bill introduced in the House of
Representatives by Mr.. Mott, of this
state, providing free transportation to
and from the camps for soldiers on fur
lough. Railroad fares now average
about 2 y cents mile. The govern
ment is going to raise the average to
over three cents. This is a prohibitive
tax on soldiers who get $50 q month and
are trying to support dependents and
buy Liberty bonds.
Secretary McAdoo has now authorized
a special soldiers passenger rate of one
cent a mile. That helps. But why not
go the whole distance? The French
have the right idea. With them a fur
Tough is part of the military routine
and highly important part. The
French government furnishes free trans
portation. Why shouldn't we do the
same? The men who are training to
fight the countrys battles have more
than earned it.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-27
A Real Victory

The obvious fight, the most important
fight, the one that occupies most of the
front page, is the fight against the enc
my's battalions, eye to eye, bayopet to
bayonet. But this final test can never
be carried on unless another and less
conspicuous fight is first won in advance.
That is the fight against apathy, against
stupidity, against provincialism, against
selfishness-against, primarily, igno-
rance, the failure to comprehend, to
imagine, to see.
The superb victory for the Red Cross
is victory against all these forces of
obstruction and delay. The hundred
millions have come far easier than did
the first hundred a few months ago
this despite the Liberty Loan and
income taxes and all the multiplying
calls Of actual war. Partly this is due to
the excellence of plan and organization,
which relied mainly upon 'house-to-h house
canvass and utilized the public collec-
tions simply to bestir interest. Chiefly
the funds overwhelming luccess is due
to the new awakening of the nation to
it's world part.
America understands and sees-and
seeing she gives. The victory is a large
one, a farreaching one. Let US rejoice
in the Red Cross success, not only for
the huge blessing it bears to our fight
ing men but for the blazing sign it is
of a nations will to win.

Unjust to Forrest

In one of his war articles the other
day Major General Maurice, until re-
Gently the British governments Director
of Military Operations, now a news
paper commentator on strategy, made
use of an epigram coined by Lieutenant
General Nathan B. Forrest, the most
extraordinary cavalry leader produced
by our Civil War. General Maurice
wrote:
1t is told of Forrest, the Confederate cav
airy leader in the American Civil War, that
he was asked by lady for the secret of
his successes in the war, and replied,
"Ma'am, l got there first with the most
men,"
The text of the quotation does injus-
tice to Forrest. This great soldier never
spent more thar six months inside a
schoolhouse. He remained all his life
stranger to book learning and talked
what might be called "cracker' South
ern dialect. What he really said in an
swer to the question put him was: "I
got there firstest with the mostest men,"
Forrest was unique and incompara-
bly, racy genius. The art of war was
born in him. But he was innocent of all
other arts-unless money making may
be regarded as one. And no one would
have been more amused than he at the
unimpeachably academic form given by
cultivated British brother-in arms to
one of his pithiest and most character
istic sayings.

which the consumer pays. Thishas been
discussed for years without the formu-
lation of any legal and practical plan
by which it may be accomplished The
milk distributors might find themselves
within the grasp of both Federal and
state law just as readily for combining
to reduce distribution costs as they
might for joining together to hold up
prices. In that respect they are unhap-
PLY at a disadvantage when compared
with the dairy farmers, whose assoca-
tion has been exempted from the anti
trust statutes If the distributing COM
panies parcelled out the city into dis
tricts within which they would not COM
pete, costs might be brought down, but
they would almost certainly fall foul of
the law, and so far as individual con-
sumers were concerned a monopoly
would be established which would be
practically intolerable. 1t has been pro-
posed that the city itself establish pas

end, unless the entire distribution service
for the community were taken over,
nothing would be gained save a shifting
of certain proportion Of cost into the
tax rate.

LEM may be solved by local initiative.

brains to find some way to act Under

rhythm. That he knows. But he knows
much less about business. about the in
which under normal conditions often will
entail amazing experimental waste.
about finance, or about the economy of
reckless extravaganza where time is an
important factor He saw all the things
our Investigators had seen, and probably
more in like character, and then he COM
munfcated with us, and we turned over
to him all of our material, with notice
why we had made no use Of it.
He used to come often to the Wash
ington Bureau of The Tribune to te,e-
graph us for the loan Of our Mr.. Seavey
or for more of our material, and when
he went out we would hear that Secret
Service man had Immediately appeared,
asking, in theatrical whispers, WAS that
Gutzon Borglum?"
He agreed with US that it would be
unwise and unpatriotic to give the mat
ter publicity just then, or until graft
could be positively proved and then, Just
as our first reporter did on his return
from Dayton, he wrote a confidential re-
port for the President, stating his suspi-
cions freely but not pretending to have
proved anything.
Greatly to our amazement, and. we be-
ieve, to the utter surprise of Borglum
also, that report was made public
through the War Department. By this
act the aircrafters, without any hearing,
we're lynched in public opinion.
The Tribune Immediately protested
against what seemed to it to be an out
rage upon the regulations of men against
whom nothing dishonest or disloyal had
been established by evidence; and we
proceeded to make another and more
comprehensive investigation. We found
that the Liberty motor, but for two de-
fects which were easily cured, had at
last come through. Even Borglum con-
ceded that achievement. We found that
the conditions of quantity production
had been created. We found that the
knot had been cut between, on the one
side, the manufacturers, who had been
receiving hundreds OF changes, and, on
the other side, lot of aviation experts,
technicians, engineers and theorists, who
had been trying to attain an unattain-
able perfection. We found that most of
the vital problems had been solved, and
that, in short, the aircraft situation was
rapidly clearing up just at the moment
when, by the irony of events, storm Of
suspicious indignation broke on the
heads of the harassed and rueful air.
crafters.
The last thing The Tribune did was to
send Mr.. Knappen out to prove the
physical phenomenon of airplanes COM
ing alive and rising out of what only
few months ago seemed hopeless confu-
sion. We told him to touch them, smell
them, bite them, count them and ride
in them. He is now reporting.

Self-Deterrnination

Selfdetermination should extend to
small people. Practically every child
born into the world finds when he
reaches the age Of discretion that ever
so many vital matters have been decided
for him. A name has been set upon
him. He has been dedicated to the
Methodist Church. His college has been
chosen, and he is indeed lucky if his
entire career, eliminating in the Presi-
dency Of the nation or the vice-presi
dency of the Tidewater National Bank.

admit that the only child we know who
received the privilege Of choosing his
own name hit upon Themistocles. His
parents had favored Junius Brutus But
Ter, Sd. Not only in his future, but in
his present life as we'll, does the child
find himself restricted Often his thumbs
are denied to him by means of safety
pins. His loudest protests do not avail
to alter his time Of rising or going to
bed, or even the hour of a single meal
by so much as a minute. He has little
or no choice in the selection of visitors
and acquaintance. His preferences in
rattles are only slightly needed. Later
ne is not allowed to put pins in his
mouth, or burn himself in the fireplace,
or fall down the stairs. Without restric-
tions he probably would do all these
things. He would suffer. but ne would
learn. He would sit at the feet of that
compelling schoolmaster, Mr.. Experience
and not be bored by the unconvincing
tutelage of Mr.. G. Advice.
Nobody ever contended that Mexico
would not and did not fall foul of pins
and fire and stairways when left to shift
for herself But there were many far
seeing persons who argued that all this
was good for Mexico. For the life of
us we can't conceive why the self-deter-
mination, which assures a full measure
OF happiness to Liberia in spite of mis-
takes, should not work equally we'll for

C%HECKERING GUN ART
Pleasant Pastime to Improve Ap.
pearance Of Firearm.
Amateur VIII Derive Much Sstisfac.
ton From Experience and VIII
Be Surprised at Result Of
His Handiwork.

Many sportsmcn find Il nm interest
Ing pleasant experience to take II Ia
Norlte rifle or shotgun and improve its
appearance by chcckering the stock
or forearm.
This Is an art In itself ana the anna
teur will find experience the best teach-
or. A good plan To follow In making
the first experiment Is to take Il block
OF walnut with a polished or smooth
surface and draw we lines diagonal
to each other. The shape OF the dia-
mond produced by the checkcrlng Is
dependent upon the angle formed by
these first two lines.
4 hund.traclng tool with three
parallel scrnplng surfaces Is then used,
starting m the diagonal lines. This
tracing tool simply marks the lines for
filing. after the surface Of the stock
Is still flat but marked with the
parallel lines, crossing each other dag.
onally.
These lines serve rs guides and the
stock Is then filed up with n small
band triangular file cutting into the
wood to shape up the small diamonds,
and the stock is afterward gone over
finally with n file to perfect the shape
OF the diamonds and raise the small
points ut the top of each diamond.
After this Is done n border may he
put on with a small hand tool with
two parallel cutters. These serve to
give n finished appearance to the
chcckering.
Ordinarily the process Of checker
Ing the stocks and forearms of fac
tory produced guns Is all hand work
and done by skilled help. Although
of course not an unusual operation, 1t
requires ordinarily six or eight months
time TO learn. Some operatives are
never successful in mastering the
trick.
The amateur will derive much sat
isfuCtion from the experience Of check
ering his own gun and by exercising
n little care and patience will be
ngrceahly surprised with the results
of his handlwork.
