Canned Blood is Employed
TRANSMISSION Operations

1t is no longer necessary for the
donor of blood and the patient who
is to receive it to be brought togeth-
er, according to the May Popular
Mechanics Magazine. Human blood,
it has been discovered, may be pre-
served for several weeks-a month
represents about the limit of time
and used when needed. War sur
geons found, for instance, that the
improvement of patients was equal
ly marked when they were supplied
with blood that had been kept three
weeks or more, as when "fresh"
blood was used. The importance of
the latest technical change in this
operation is almost obvious. 1t lies
chiefly in the advantage of having
a stock Of blood at hand at all
times for the emergencies that con-
stantly arise.

MATRIMONIAL Don'ts

Don't marry the young man who
leaves his mother to find her way
home as best she can on dark night,
while without thought OF word of
apology to the old lady, he looks af-
ter you. One of these days when the
novelty is worn off, he will leave you
to go alone as best you can, while
he seeks his enjoyment at the cub.
Don't marry a man who curls a
scornful lip when religion and the
Bible are spoken of, and who has all
the mistakes of Moses and the mis-
deeds of Solomon on his tongues
end. A copy of IngersoPs lectures on
his parlor table, instead of the fami-
ly Bible, is very poor guarantee OF
happy family life.
Don't marry man whose friends
smile at each other when his name
is mentioned, and say, "Well, we
hope he will come out right, but he
is sowing few wild oats right now" d"
Remember that what is sown before
is reaped after marriage.
1t will be very awkward for you to
be obliged to reap that crop one of
these days; and if you marry him,
you will have the most of it to gath
er in.

We want a religion for both worlds,
for this because we are living in it
for the next because we are going to
it-one that prepares for the next by
right living in this-a religion that
softens the step and gives melody to
the voice that checks impatience and
religion not merely for the church
and the prayer meeting, but for busi-
ness, for the family and for every
day life; a religion of both faith and
works; and of works as founded on
faith; a religion of principles as well
as feeling, of right habit as we'll as
occasional impulse, that projects the
honeymoon into the harvest moon,
and makes the happy home like the
figtree, bearing at once the beauty
of the tended blossoms and the glory
of the ripened fruit, religion that
shall level the ruts and gullies and
rocks in the pathway of life and give
joy in that pathway to all who are
in it.

BE Ye Steadfast"

Clemson College, April 12.-ln a
recent letter from Mr.. Bradford
Knapp, chief of the office Of exten-
sion work in the South on the cotton
acreage reduction plans, stress is
laid on the importance of every
farm being self-supporting, as
shown in the extracts below.
AS long as the world thinks there
is plenty of cotton and as long as
its movement is still interrupted by
war conditions, we shall be in diff
ficulty which ought not to be in
creased by too great an acreage.
The answer to our troubles will be
given in the month of April between
the plow handles and in the seed
box of the planter.
Many Of US have said reduce
acreage and feed yourself" when 1t
was not half as popular as it is now.
We are interested not only in this
wear, but in all the future. Our one
ambition is to see Southern farmers
permanently prosperous. That pros
perity depends almost entirely upon
a we'll balanced, permanent system
of agriculture with the eternal cot
ton gambling cut out. Every farm,
big and little, should be on self
supporting basis, and the market
system must be rearranged so as to
supply the Southern city and town
population with with food products from
No. farmer should forget either
his promise, the sacredness Of his
word, or his good faith in this huge
undertaking. The plan depends up
on mutual good faith and full CO.
operation. April will tell the story.

WHY HOLD BACK?

According to statistics gathered by
the Department of Labor, there are
now being held up for various reasons
1926 public projects, approXimating
more than a billion and a quarter
dollars. There are also 1899 private
projects upon which work is being
delayed. These approximate five
hundred million dollars of consLruc-
tion work. Together, there is nearly
two billion dollars worth Of public and
private construction work being held
up N the country, @ppcrtioned among
ali the states, from Vermont's four
public projects, valued at $1,032,5 800,
to the 220 public projects in Illinois,
worth $13O,877476.
This is all necessary construction
work-public roads, buildings, sewers,
water Improvements, school buildings;
in fact, everything that will enhance
both the community value and the
comfort of the people
The money that is put into these
undertakings will all be returned to
society in different forms of wealth,
in safeguarding the health and lives
Of the people, in educating children
who are to be the future workers and
builders of the nation, in making
transportation easier and quicker, IN
a thousand ways that we cannot set
down in defnit, tangible form. This
work requires labor. Labor is now
to be had. Everywhere men are look
ing for jobs.
Why not put every man to work
making the country more valuable
and making provision for the future
prosperity of the nation? What more
opportune time for beginning work

upon our own long delayed and much
needed subways. The elimination of
the inconvenient and highly danger
Gus grade crossings is a matter of
vital Importance to every inhabitant
Of the city and to every person who
visits Newark. The City Council, the
Chamber of Commerce and the South
End Boosters Club are working hard
for it. Let none Of US cease our la
bCrs until success crowns our efforts.
There isn't any reason of eXpediency
that can justify this holding up pub
lie work. In fact, there is every rea-
son for beginning operations at once.
No matter what happens, the people
will be called upon to pay the bilf.
1t were far better TO pay this bill in
wages, to labor, and thus bring con-
tentment to the people, than in social
payment for the dangers that may
develop though a large force of idle
workers.
The logic of the situation demands
that the public work held up be be-
gun without delay. That is clearly
the duty Of every community to itself.
Labor that was priced in war should
not be wasted in peace. Idleness is
waste all the time.
This country does not lack initia-
tive. Within its borders are the di-
recting powers of vast industrial
forces; within the hearts Of the people
is the willingness to do; within every
community is the public spirit that is
ready to cooperate, to act when u
beginning has been made.
Then why hold back?
Start the delayed public work at
once.

north and south line, and the flat land of the reservation is ample for all na- val purposes. Tonsina creek, which bounds the naval reservation on the south, is considered fully capable of furnishing water to the reservation, and it may be capable of furnishing alyzed, and is good for boiler use.
 "The present facilities at Seward will be sufficient for the coal traffic, when and if a spur of the road is built around the shore of the naval reservation on Lowell point, where a pier should be constructed in a north erly and southern direction and fitted with suitable coal-handling plant.
 Ample Dock Room
 Along the eastern shore of the town of Seward the shore line tends north and south, and between the eastern end of the present commercial wharf and the wharf of the San Juan cannery there is over 2,000 feet of space available for the construction of a suitable dock and coal-handling plant, with deep-water front and am pie maneuvering space for vessels ap- preaching and leaving the dock.
 "The water front is now the prop erty of the United States, and should a wharf be constructed at this point the extension of the railroad to the site of the naval reservation would be unnecessary"
 Secretary Daniels has announced that he will promptly begin the or ganization of a party of naval coal op- orators and experts, who will go to the Matanuska district in the spring and begin operations.
 The naval commission submits blue print of coal bunkers and equip ment for the Resurrection bay site at cost of $45O,0O0. There is $1,000,- 900 available under the new naval ap- propriation bill for the building of the coal dock and the operations in the coal fields.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-11-20

In it's comments on Resurrection bay, the ocean terminus of the govern ment railroad, the commission says:
 "The commission made reconnais- sance of the naval reservation, situ- ated on the western side of Resurrec- tion bay, two miles south of Seward. The extension of the railroad from Seward to the naval reservation would be an easy problem in railroad con, struction. The soundings off the res ervation are such as to lend facility to the construction of a pier on the

NOT FOR THE DUTCH.

A pretty good idea of the condi- tions that surround the life Rf sailors on merchant vessels of this country and these of other countries is fur nished by the experience of the ship ping board in turning back to Holland the cargo carrying ships that were taken over froal that country during the war.
 Not all of the ships have been re- turned but they are going back as fast as it is possible to release them from the service in which. they are engaged. When they were taken over it was realized that. no attention had been paid to the comfort of the crews. The result was that steam heating systems were installed, refrigerators were built in, mattresses were pro- vided for the sleeping quarters and bathing facilities were put in.
 This was done at no small expense and must have brought forth a cer- tain amount of appreciation from the sailors. It was realized that it would mean no small amount of expense. and very little salvage to remove these accomm odations so the Dutch were told that the new. fittings could go with the ships without any ex- pense. "Just take them as they are and get what good you can out. of them" was the way the shipping board referred to this equipment in trying to hand it over. One can imagine the surprise when it was fatly refused and the board was told to take all the improvements out, that the Dutch were not operating pa1atial ships but cargo carriers and they wanted none of these luxuries for the crews.
 It can. be appreciated that they re- alized that if these ships were put in to use. it would immediately bring about .an. insistence, for similar equip ment in all. such vessels and the at titude is apparently not to- put any new notions in their heads: This gives some idea as to why transportation in foreign bottoms is cheaper than in American.

EUROPEAN ATTITUDE.

There have been no official an houncements to the effect that what ever this country did in the way of making reservation to the treaty of peace would be approved by the coun- tries of Europe. In fact it would be rather a difficult matter to definitely determine any such thing, but word has come to this country to the ef- feet that there would be no objection offered by Great Britain and France to such reservations as have been pro- posed in connection with the discus Bion of the ratification of the treaty in the senate and country.
 One of the great objections that has been raised to doing anything but swallowing the treaty just as it is, and accepting all the provisions of the league of nations covenant without change, is that such would have to be agreed to by the other nations and the desire to avoid that necessity with it's uncertainty has been urged. The impression has been gained from such that there would be little possibility of the European nations giving fa-- vorabie consideration to any altera- lions or reservations.
 It cannot fail to have been appar- ent to the representatives of European countries that there was opposition to certain features even before they were actually adopted. so it cannot be sur prising that the senate should not fa- cor certain reservations that concern the welfare of this country, and while fl has been said that we should not break the heart of Europe by keeping out of league, 1t can be fully ap-- preciated that Europe will not break its own heart by objecting to such res srvations as will make the covenant e better document, and insure the membership of the United States in league governed thereby

WASHINGTON RIOTS.

The race riots that have taken place in the national capital during the past two days present a regretta- ble spectacle It seems to show an inability to take care of the 1awless- ness which occurs there and a too great wiilingness on the part of cer- tain individuals to undertake to ap- ply their own idea of a remedy but who only have served to make a. bad situation worse.
 It is impossible to minimize the se- rioiisness of the repeated attacks that were made upon white women by Ne groes. and there should be no disposi- ton to. but that was a matter which the authorities ought to have quickly suppressed and penalized those re- sponsibIe. Instead of that there wa s the mob inclination to take matters into it's own hands with the result ident was a sufficient signal for an attack thereon. This quickly led to trouble all over the city to such an extent that the authorities were un- able to check the fury of the self appointed regulators even when it was known that the victim was en- tirely innocent.
 Under such conditions it didn't take long for resentment to manifest itself and it must, shave been anything but a Sunday school picnic until the federal authorities were called in to take charge of what had gotten be- yond the control of the capital police. This should quickly end the trouble but it calls for the taking of steps that will make such a situation i'm possible in the future.
 There Is indicated a lack of pre- ventive measures in the first place for had such been employed when dan gerous conditions were disclosed a large amount of trou b1e, and a de- ,piorable situation could have been avoided
