Increase Production

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: While every loyal American is glad tc
conserve and to economzc, it must be APP
parent to any average intelligence that in
creased production is equally important with
decreased consumption. There is a limit be-
low which decreased consumption cannot be
safely pushed; there is scarcely any limit to
which increased production cannot be raised
In the army camps all garbage and manure
were originally burned valuable fuel being
used in the process. The good news now
comes that the garbage is to be used in hog
raising, thus turning into immense profit what
was formerly expensive waste.
More important even than hog raising is
sheep raising, because The sheep provides
wool in addition to meat. No one needs to be
told how wool has increased in price, nor
how hard it is to get Let sheep be raised
on the lawns of big estates and on public
land. On the idle acres of Westchester
County alone many thousands of sheep might
Craze.
The difficulties in transportation may rem
der 1T necessary to depend on what can be
raised at home. The smallest plot of ground
should hold It's vine and fruit tree These
should be cared for ntellgently Informa-
lion as to spraying and trimming should be
procurable al any public library. Where gar
den clubs have not made it possible for spray
ing TO be done at small cost, groups OF gar
deners should purchase equipment to be used
in common. Municipality owned apparatus for
spraying shade trees could be used on large
fruit trees through arrangements with the
city forester at a small cost to owners Old
apple orchards may be reclaimed by trimming
and spraying. SO that the results will be
astounding. One orchard so treated produced
four hundred barrels Of fine fruit last sea
son. Any neglected fruit tree is a menace. as
healthy trees.
Fruit and nut trees should be used for
shade on public highways. Every country
yard should have its own fruit trees (than
which no Towering shrub could be more or
namcntaD, its currant bushes. gooseberry
bushes, rhubarb, horseradish and its grape
vine. Now is the time for pruning grape
vines; also for trimming and spraying fruit
trees.
Conscientious housewives could take proper
care OF their garbage, which could then be
collected by the farmers of the outlying dis
tricts. The garbage of many Massachusetts
cities is being used for hog raising. In every
way thrift should replace waste.
All public garbage should be utilized by re-
duction plants for fats and fertilizers or for
heat and fuel or for hog raising Any city
that is using wood, coal oil to burn its
refuse is failing in patriotic economy.

Our Driving

1t is an interesting suggestion which
comes from Connecticut by way of "New
England Roads," the organ of the Good
motor car owners of New York may be
barred from the reciprocity privileges at
present existing because they are road
hogs and lawbreakers.
New York now has "reciprocity privi-
leges," that is, recognition of its automo-
bile license, with number of its neighbors.
including the New England States. Penn
sylvania and New Jersey 1t in turn
grants touring privileges in this state to
automobiles licensed in those states This
interchange of courtesies implies recogni-
tion Of and obedience to the local traffic
laws. But New York States laws, accord
ing to the protest from Connecticut, are
not so drastic in their punishment Of tne
speed maniac and the road hog as those
of its neighbors, nor are they so we'll en-
forced. The result has been found to be
that until New York State passes legis-
lation controlling operators of motor vehi-
cles, compelling them to qualify for a
license, Connecticut is totally unprotected
from the intoxicated and reckless drivers
of that state
Under existing laws here each owner
and driver of a motor car must obtain a
license. But while professional chauffeurs
must demonstrate qualifications before be-
ing licensed, no such proof Of fitness is
demanded of owners. Moreover, under the
peculiar construction of the laws, it is
almost impossible, practically, to revoke a
license for law breaking. The reciprocity
privilege is worth much to the motorist.
1t is worth so much that those who re-
spect the laws should combine to have
passed more stringent laws regarding the
revocation of licenses for cause, and then
should attend to their enforcement.

This Question Of Chins

In one of those delectabe volumes con-
corning apes or peacocks or unicorns or
some other Of the strange fauna near to
the heart of Mr.. James Huneker there is a
sketch of that particularly strange being
Mr. George Moore. He draws back the
curtain revealing:
goden-crestcd bird with a chin as
dfdent as a poached egg and with mean-
choly pale-blue eyes and an undecided
walk.
For swift brushworl, can one quote an
equal? When Mr. Huneker grows weary
of criticism he should turn portrait painter
and travel about setting down our great
folk in words Of one sentence.
1t Is the matter of chin that brings this
particular sketch to mind. For years it
has been popular faith that the square
jawed, projecting chin. what might be
called the undershot or dreadnought chin.
Is the one sure sign of masterfulness-
and that, turn about, what Mr.. Huneker
so sensitively calls the poached-egg chin
means plain weakness and nothing else.
SO far has the dogma found acceptance
! that ambitious young climbers of the bust
ness world have come to shoot out their
chlns as matter of routine office eff
cheney. You can see them dashing in and
out of Wall Street doors any market day
1t may be mere coincidence that the
American university Of which the BULLDOG
IS the symbol appears to have run to this
type Of hero. Yet such is the fact. If
one sketched Yale man doing anything
great or noble, the great surgeon operat-
ing on his patient, the great poet composing
his hymn to Diana, let us say, he would
naturally be portrayed with mighty un-
der jaw. Success, that is the thought
Does it reside in ones brain or heart o.
hand? Never-or at least never nearly
as much as in the jutting chin, the thun-
derbolt, the catapult, the ram that sinks
the enemy ship without a trace
1t is neat theory But what Of Mr.
George Moore and his dfident egg of a
chin Mr.. Moore is not an Irish captain
Of industry, he is not the master of a
thousand men and millions of dollars. Ho
is, however, anything but \ weak man
He ambled over to Dublin fter lonc
exile and told friends, enemi IS and the
whole Irish people just what he thought
of them-both face to face and in three
long printed books. Men have been shot
for less in far more temperate clmes
Diffidence is about the last word in the
dictionary that one would think of asso-
ciating with Mr.. Moore One can imagine
his fixing his Creator with a melancholy
pae-blue eye and telling Him exactly
where He got off. In fact he practically
did in 'The Brook Kerith"
SO much for the weak chin Nor does
the converse hold more truth. Almost
every class in every college possesses q
young dreadnought of the extreme type
and he is usually afraid to go home in the
dark. Chins, it is to be concluded. are
more a matter Of taste than of parts. Bal
ance, all-around strength of feature, NAV
mean something. The undershot law has
just about as much significance in hui
man being as in a yellow perch

The Timber Ships

Sensational reports have been sent from
Washington that wooden ships to the
amount Of 1850, 900 tons will be launched

They do not come from the Shipping

Continuous Collegcs
(From The Boston Transcript)


While discussion of the plans Feasibility
still remains in the stage of argument and
hypothesis, the authorities at Dartmouth ap-
pear to be making the "Ycar- Round Col
lcge" an established fact in Hanover News
comes to-day that for the first time in its
history tho college is admitting a fresh en-
tcring class to its classrooms at this iunc-
turc in February. when the first semester
has come to end and the second is start
ing There less than a dozen students
in the new group, but their collective pres
cncc amounts to very substantial innova-
ton. They viii either be expected to at
tend Darmouth's summer school and so
make up the credit emitting them to mem
bershp in the colleges regular class of 1872 .
or else be allowed to continue their whole
four years as "half class" students and to
graduate in February, 1922
Although this fait accompli may surprise
some Dartmouth men, as it will the alumni
of all colleges where entrance at midvoars
has never before been allowed no one can
deny that the grant Of such a concession was
measure literally forced by the actual
demand of the times. With all our Young
men at the threshold Of national service. and
with the task Of getting on education in
the brief time allotted become much more
difficult, any and all steps that make the
task more possible must be commended, no
matter how much red tape of academic ira
dition they may tear down.

Praise for Camp Wadsworth

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: have recently returned from Camp
Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. c. where was
son With pneumonia.
The conditions there are so much better
than l expected to find them and so superior
to the conception Of people generally, feel
it is my duty to briefly describe what I saw.
The camp is in very desirable location
for the purpose and tie natural drainage
facilities are good. The most Objectionable
feature is the red clay soil which in wet
weather makes for very muddy roads.
The base hospital is splendidly MANAGED
and is equipped with DENTAL X-rav and other
laboratories. The staff of physicians and
nurses is most efficient and kindly. and
every care and attention is given the
patients; when the weather permits the beds
are drawn out on the porchcs, which run tho
entire length OF the wards, and the sick pass
the day outdoors

most popular with those in his charge. and is
having great success in treating those in bis

The word "disannex," which is in much use

author refers the refusal of France ia

Whose Bolsheviki?

If the world were only upside down how
fair and simple it would seem. But it is
half upside down and half right side up.
What is vertical also is horizontal. The
end is before the beginning.
Observe:
The American Bolsheviki have pro-
claimed that going to war with Germany
was a crime because, Notwithstanding the
merits of quarrel between nations, the
resort to force is of itself on any account
monstrous and indecent.
For saying these things their papers
have been suppressed and some of the
more violent of the Bolshevists have been
themselves restrained.
But no sooner is Russian Bolshevkism
threatened than all the Scott hearings,
Morris Hillquits, Crystal Eastmans and
Emma Goldman Berkmans propose to &c
and defend it by force.
They would not join the United States
against Germany. But they are willing
to join the Russian revolution, instead.
and kill Germans in that cause. They
talk of it.
Worse confusion is yet to come.
The Washington government suddenly
embraces the American Bolsheviki and
wishes them to spread American propa-
ganda in Russia! This seems Incredible.
Yet it has happened. Up and down the
Bolshevist haunts of New York travels
mystic word. The wife Of a notorious
self-expatriated Bolshevist under indict-
ment here for disloyalisn. collects the
messages. They are approved by the Com
mittee ON Public Information and then
transmitted by official sanction to Russia.
This singular episode remains to be
classified. One ponders it merely and
awaits developments.
But at last we know where the heart of
the American Bolsheviki is not.

about as far from the truth as any
thing which has appeared of late" is the
way the general puts it. The story was
told to me and Floyd Gibbons, of '"rhe Chi
cago Tribune" by an American officer who
gave it to US as tirst-hand information. 1t
seems, as far as known, that he was mis-
taken
"No code messages were sent to these
general officers. They were ordered by
gram called for no reply, and as far as
known none Of the officers made any re-
ply. here or elsewhere, as to when they
would be ready to sail" writes the general
The anecdote in The Tribune said that
the officers had sent replies over the wires
without code; not that their orders to re-
port at Hoboken had come over the wires
without code.
am sorry to have written an anecdotc
which was untrue, but the condition which
it meant to attack exists. There is not
enough secrecy about important matters of
military information and too much about
things which would be tremendously use
full in America and of no use to Germany
Thus, the Secretary Of War announces
that he will have certain number of men
in France at certain season of the year
and that he is transporting some of these
men in commercial liners. Both these facts
were regarded as profound secrets in
France a few weeks ago. but the War De-
partment says them right out here, and
still maintains a ban against the use Of
names of men or units of whose presence
in France the Germans are perfectly
aware. The relatives and friends of these
men have a right to learn about them
through the newspapers.
