German Courtesg q Mgth

A few days ago was present in a COM
pany where an American newspaper man
gave an extremely interesting talk on avia-
ton at the 'front.' and he related the following
story:
Courtesy among aviators at the front is
so great that when Guynemer was killed the
German aces invited their French colleagues
to be present at the burial behind the German
front. The invitation was accepted; the
French came in their airplanes, were present
at the funeral service, exchanged salutes with
the Germans, and when about to turn back
were surprised to see that the German ava-
tors with gracious hospitality, had had their
tanks filled with gasoline"
The story is a delightful one-so de-
lightful that certain doubts arose in my mind
as to its veracity. therefore cabled my gov
ernment, asking them to make inquiries at
grand headquarters and find out if such an
incident really took place. I have just re-
ceived the following reply:
you can absolutely and formally deny
the story that French aviators were present
at Guynemer's burial inside the German
lines"
May ask for the courtesy of your col
umns of this letter and cable? And I would
also like to avail myself of this opportunity
to request our American friends never to
give any credence to stories of German cour-
tesy or German generosity, even when re-
lated in perfect good faith. German gener-
osity and German courtesy, we know by this
time, are pure myths.-Stephane Lauzanne in
New York Times.

Vegetable Fats as Foods.


Another Of the important things we have
harmed since entering the school Of necessity is
lhe food value Of vegetable fats For many gen.
sfalions we had followed natures kindly lead
IND relied on animals to furnish us the fats we
needed. II Is an axiom Of biologists that nature
rfosided the whale and the seal for the inhabi-
t1sts of polar regions, the various meat animals
foe those whose good fortune set them within the
nperate zone, and seeds and nuts to furnish
~ and fats for the dwellers under the tropics.
4 %xoftage and increased demand incident to the
0nx hsve combined to enforce readjustment Of
40 schedule to greater extent than has been
1Npposed In the United States the consumption
n vegetable oils has enormously increased within
In last two years For example, while we are the
worlds largest producer Of cotton seed OIL in
the last year we imported Sl.2l0,000 worth OF
THE material. Our total imports OF vegetable oils
Az the year totaled s7s0000oo, of which almost
hsl came from the Philippines. This includes

similar oils, almost all Of which is now going

Louisville is quite chesty over its topping

surely, but how small it appears beside that

Civilization is Gaining.

An event has just transpired on which the
public is to be greatly congratulated. Principals
Of proposed prize fight have called off the
affair and have abandoned its pursuit because Of
lack of public interest in the contest. That this
can be so at time when man is arousing his
combativeness to its utmost pitch, when millions
OF peaceably inclined and carefully nurtured
youth are being taught the art of war, which
means fighting in its most savage form, and when
portion of this training consists of instruction
in boxing, shows how civilization is gaining We
will fight for what is right, giving lives and
treasure without stint for the preservation of a
principle but when it comes to pouring out
our golden coin to reward couple Of profess
sonal bruisers we turn aside. In times of peace,
when some men have more money and leisure
time than they otherwise could spend, portion
of it may be given to the prize ring, but not now.

Shying at Revenue Legislation.

Back of the reluctance of the democratic
leaders in congress to enter on program of
further revenue legislation stands the specter of
the fall elections. Only for this reason is ii sug
gested that the matter be deferred until next De-
cember Nobody questions the need for more
revenue, nor the desirability of certain amend
ments to the present law At the beginning OF
the present session of congress certain specific
changes we're suggested as necessary, and were
agreed to by the committees of both house and
senate in informal consideration of the points
involved, No other progress has been made. In
January Senator Smoot submitted in the senate
a substitute for the present law, which had COM
mendation OF the closest students of revenue
problems. 1t has never emerged from the COM
mttee, but now that the secretary Of the treasury
has asked for action, the Smoot bill may be
heard from. Claude Kitchin, chairman Of the ways
and means committee, voices threat that if
revenue legislation is taken up he will see to it
that all profits are wiped out. This is in keeping
with his statement of last summer that he would
vote for the war tax bill with his eyes shut. He
did, to the extent that the big revenue measure
was entirely rewritten in the senate and muddled
in conference. so that in one or two vital points
1t defeats its own purpose. Experience has shown
the weaknesses of the law and sober judgment
should be applied III their correction The major
ity party in congress must face its responsibilities

Factory Labor For the Farms.

In the east, where the industrial adjustment is
more on the side of the factory than on the
farm, various expedients have been suggested by
which something Of balance may be established,
and sufficient help be provided to carry on farm
work. In Connecticut what seems to be most
practical plan has been put into operation. Un-
der It large employers of labor in factories or
similar industries have obligated themselves to
furnish certain quota for farm work. Men
are sent from the shops to the farms on squads,
the arrangement being that each employer will
keep certain number of men steadily engaged
in farm work, sending them in relays The
wage question has been adjusted on basis that
is entirely satisfactory to the men, they getting
their regular pay at the rate contracted for in the
shops, while the farmer pays to the employer
the wages for farm hands. This plan is strongly
commended by the service bureau of the Depart
mcnt OF Labor.
