PARIS, (By Mail)-With the GER
tainty that aviation is quickly to be-
come one of the big industries
throughout the entire world, Paris has
little warning for all Of her sister
cities Of America and every other
country.
The warning is this: Enact immedi-
ately, either state, municipal, or ma
tional legislation, prohibiting the cree
ton of airplane factories anywhere
within hearing distance of where
human beings have to live and sleep.
otherwise, said human beings won't
be able to sleep and will be driven II
no time at all either into their graves
or some PARKWAY sanitarium-
Everyone knows how much rumpus
an airplane makes when it is flying
thousands of feet overhead. Well,
every airplane motor before 1t Is
mounted has to be tested and to be
tested it is attached to huge bench
or platform and ran continuously at
top speed, with hundreds OF horse
mower back of it, for at least "a hours
and sometimes 4S.
During that period Of time nobody
living within hearable distance can
possibly sleep.
At Suresnes, where motors are
tested for As hours. it has been neces-
sary to close an adjacent school.
At Puteaux the inhabitants declare
they have not slept for months:
At Courbevoie the city council has
resigned as means Of protest.
At Clichy, the city had bought
large tract of land for the erecpon Oh

authorities now refuse to let the city
build its hospital In such death

The department Of the Seine has
haan forced in the interest Of public
health to take measures to stop the
airplane factories and get them moved
into more isolated localities.

Attacking the Fish Monopo,v

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: :
1t has been understood that the
fishing industry off the coast of New
England has for some time been 81
most entirely within the control of
a monopoly, with headquarters st
Boston, which has practical control
of the business The combine finally
became so strong, and so arbitrary
in its methods, that resort was had
to the Massachusetts courts. For a
time these efforts were futile, and a
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1919-07-29

few men and companies with abun-
dant capital were able to dominate
the industry. 1t now appears that
the controlling interests overplayed
their hand. It is announced that
seventeen companies and individual
dealers have been indicted on quite
convincing evidence, and will in due
time presumably be brought to ac-
count. The fact that advantage was
taken of the food scarcity owing to
the war has, 1t seems, goaded the
authorities to take measures to pro-
tect consumers OF what should be
among the most plentiful and cheap
Woods.

very rev men know that the most
durable post Is from a tree cut at
maturity and before decay starts; or
that while the tree is full Of sapwood
the heartwood Is soft The best posts
are cut In the dead Of the winter. They
should not be piled upon the ground
or where they are likely to become
wet.
The flfe Of post may be heightened
II treated by coating with tar, dipping
In paint, injecting creosote, ETC., but
at best the wooden fence post Is a
poor proposition.
About thirty years ago, a start was
made to secure posts from some other
material, and iron and steel were put
to rigid test. Galvanized steel posts
have been in use about twenty years,
and as rule are still doing duty.
Many of them have been examined
and found to be In first-class condi-
ton.
Serviceable posts may also be made

THE FENCE POST.

National Crop Improvement servies.l
Millions of tons of barbed wire, plain
wire and woven wire fences, are hung
on posts and every year adds six to sev.
en- hundred thousand additional tons.
The depreciation caused by the rot.
ting, breaking and burning of wooden
fence posts. Is a tax which should be
eliminated. OF the woods available
for replacing the enormous number Of
posts, more than half will last only
two years at best, when set in the
ground. Sycamore, Black Gum, Vel
low Poplar and Birch, are almost a
total loss In that time. Sweet Gum,
Pin Oak, Maple and Pine, are nearly
as bad. Locust Is little better and
Cedar, Beech, and Chestnut are per
haps the best.
A cedar post in a dry climate will
last eight or ten years. A good red
cedar or boa dare" post will last
much longer.

A SECRET PEACE CONFERENCE?

DRESIDENT WILSON and Lloyd
= George are the two men who represent
the most strongly democratic ideals at the
Peace Conference. They have tried to
avoid all the usual methods of diplomatic
intrigue. Their shield and their weapon
is public opinion.
The rule Of secrecy proposed by Cont.
mental delegates at Paris would leave the
President and the British Premier rela.
lively powerless. All the world that is not
concerned with unworthily selfish interests
will support whatever measures Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Lloyd George may adopt to keep
<the processes Of the Peace Conference open
70 the light OF day and to critical scrutiny.
= tThis sudden attempt to draw the old.
Nhioned veil Of secrecy about the Yer
fes debates was not unexpected. 1t il
saler incident that should enable us to
ancstand hy Mr.. Wilson felt it ueces-
