Washington, July 17.-MunicipaI ownership of street railways as the best and quickest way to convince the public that it is impracticable and/ un- desirable was advocated today /,fore the Federal Electric Railways Com mission by Mortimer E. Cooley. dean of the college of engineering of the University of Michigan.
 'It would be a case of giving candy to a person who wants it until he had the stomach ache" Dr. Cooley said. Theoretically, municipal ownership is better in every way than any other form of management. but I believe it is fruitless from practical point of view"

Hunger Disease in czechosIovakia

A new hunger disease is reported among the childern some of the re- mote districts of Czecho- -Slovakia- It is a form of hunger oedema," and appears to be due primarily to the presence of too much water in the body, owing to starvation. Its pres ence is reported from several districts by the American women workers who have gone out to organize relief work for the American Red Cross. One of these reports, received today, says:
 Great care must be taken that the food gets to the children themselves and not to the parents. It must seem almost unbelievable, but the parents are frequently accused of being the worst enemies of their own children in respect to food, and in one town we were told there was no mother love left.
 Most of the children are suffering from this strange hunger oedema' and there is also a tremendous increase in tuberculosis and other diseases which one recognizes instantly due to mal- nutrition"

A WARNING FOR UNMARRIED
 TRAVELLERS

Argentina has become particular about the people it admits within it's borders. Ever since 1916 it has had extended regulations for persons who enter the country, but it has not set about enforcing them until September 2, 1919.
 Before starting for Argentina every person, of high or low degree, must arm himself with three documents and get the Argentine consul's sigma ture upon each of them. The first IS the usual passport. The second is a certificate that during the last five years he has not received judicial sentence for a penal crime. The third is a certificate that he is in physical and mental health.
 There are some other provisions in the Argentine regulations which Ill Spanish may differ in effect from the English translation. However this may be, a bachelor or old maid who is over 60 years of age would seem to be excluded, willy nilly, and a woman who travels with a child less than 10 years of age is set down hope lessly as a beggar, regardless of the dimensions of her pOcketbook.

LO. THE RICH INDIAN

About the funniest joke on the white mans avarice that ever hap pened is the wealth of the present. day American Indian tribes. No one ever intended that they should be wealthy. Far from it. They were dispossessed of their rich lands in Iowa and Illinois and other states and sent out to what was then believed to be a God-forsaken desert, where m white man would ever, or could ever live. No white American want ing it, that was the proper place TOT the red American.
 As a result of this high-minded and far-seeing policy, the Indians are to- dsv as to a number of tribes, the richest people on earth. The little old Oklahoma desert, that was so nearly worthless that the white men were all agreed the red bother might have it, has blossomed out into wealth. Upstairs it grows cotton ana corn and from the basement come coal and, fat, black oil.
 The Indians altogether own lana covering as large an area as the states of Virginia and Kentucky, with all New England thrown in. The sur face value of these lands is placed

HATS OFF TO THE TIN CAN

A simple trade announcement to the effect that the United States is now producing three-fourths of the worlds tin plate marked our arrival at the point of predominance over one of humanity's most necessary indus tries. Yet it caused very little ex- citement when 1t was made. No hu2zas rent the welkin. So far as is known not hat was thrown into the air.
 The tin can, past his period of use fitness, is not a lovely thing to look upon. He is frequenter of ash cans and dump heaps. Yet he marks the trail of modern American progress.
 AS the whitened bones of the bison glisten in the prairie sun to mark the hazardous course that empire took across the plains in the '40s, so do the mounds of battered and rusty tin cans mark the course of armies and explorers. Through the Sahara and along the Great Wall informal heaps of him glitter mute record of trade victories. It means that enlighten- ment has come to our heather brother in the form of a wellknOWn brand of coal oil, or that an effort has been made to reach the inner recesses of his soul with an old and reliable make of pork and beans.

at $60O,OOO,OOO. Adding in the coal, oil, timber, herds and other property, we have set of aborigines worth col lectively $900,0O0,000. There being but 304,950 of them, this makes it Rich Lo in place of Poor To.
 Of the Cherokees, each buck, squaw and papoose owns 110 acres of land Each Osage Indian was allotted 657 acres of land, and the average annual income from oil and gas royalties is $69O.89. The per capita wealth among these Indians in S9,57985, making them the. wealthiest people in the world. It is to be remembered that these allotments and royalties go to children and women as we'll as to heads of families. This gives some of the Osage families yearly income of $12,000. Ugh-but that would buy a lot of blankets, even in these days.
 Then, as another illustration, there are the Indians in the Papago coun- try, in Arizona. There are about ten thousand of them. The white folks wished off on them what was regarded as the toughest real estate in Amer ica. All it grew was sagebrush and cactus. The Indians lived there on government rations and sunshine and nobody envied them and everybody was happy. Then some trouble-maker discovered that the country was un- derlain by a great artesian reservoir such as the French have used in mak- ing the Sahara blossom, and now the Indians are on the way to become rich irrigated land owners and pro- ducers. Shucks, but it's hard to beat fool luck by foresight Who would have thought that those lands would product ten cents worth of crops in a century.
 And what makes the situation more provoking, the Indian is refusing to die off. After it was discovered that some of the Indians, by phenomenal luck had drawn worthwhile lands, it was thought that nobody need worry much, because the Indians were going to the Happy Hunting Grounds any way at rate which would insure the reversion of the property to it's right ful owners within a few years. But now it turns out that the Indians are playing a mean game. Where the census only enumerated 1900 in 1860, the 1910 figures accounted for 304950. This is a gain of onesixth The Indian has managed to survive from the stone age into the dry age, and it now looks as if, having become habituated to lemon extract. felt h a+s, Indian agents, smallpox, squaw mal, tuberculosis, book agents and other products of civilization, the Indian would henceforth multiply in man. ner heretofore unknown since Fer nando De Soto and other missionar- ies of Christianity began his extermi- nation.
