SCRAPPERS FROM
NAVAL STATION TO
ENTER A. A. u. TESTS

The recent success of the L. S. Navel
Air Station fight team at the Southern
A A. u. carnival held in New Orleans
proved that the Navy still has the edge
over other branches of the service in
athletics. The showing made by Pow
ers in especially noteworthy and ac-
cording to Ensign A. w. Evens of the
athletic board if arrangements can be
completed he will enter the national
A. A. L. meet to be held in Boston.
Powers bested all the entrants in the
1876 pound class and Shove that he had
a considerable edge on them. He is
a fighter from the first sound of the
gong until the last second has been
called. Clean and scientific Powers
fights an aggressive battle an dnever
let's his opponent lead for more than
few seconds. Chief Hurbon also
showed up well in the New Orleans
set-to and topped all of the boys in
his class by several points. He will
not go to Boston however
Ensign Evans and Physical Director
Moore have Astounding praise for the
treatment received in New Orleans and
state that the meet was carried off
in the most admira BILE manner Lieut.
Taft of the Marine Corps also accom-
panied the team in an advisory ca
pacity.

CAMP ON THEIR TRAIL.

The county school authorities have appro-
priated several hundred dollars for social well
fare work among the pupils of the schools in Es
Gambia county. Certainly the fund appropriated
could be speQt in no more advantages way, to
benefit the coming generations of Escambians
The district health office, DR.. Tatom, an
nounced at the same meeting, that he intended
to ask the board of county commissioners to in
clude an appropriation for the same work in
their budget Such sum, if given, would be
used to follow up the work begun in the expendi-
ture of the school.
Every good citizen of Pensacola and Escambia
county should urge the board Of county COM
missioners to that this fund is included in the
next budget. Everyone who has given serious
thought to the subject, knows that such work
is needed here and is certain tc bear good fruit.
The commissioners should be made to under
stand that residents of :. the county want this
fund, there will be 40 chance for failure to
make the appropriation Escambians, act as
once! See your county commissioner.

The Germans don't like Woodrow Wilson so
much now. DIR. w. H. Solf, who for time oc-
cupied the center of the stage as minister of
colonial affairs in the old Getn,an regime, is au-
thority for the statement. In an interview with
Gordon Styles, of the Chicago News DIR. Solf
said:
THE recent developments in the peace con-
ference have been tremendous disappointment.
Many Germans had an almost childlike faith in
the ability and will of Mr.. Wilson to see that only
demands dictated by justice we're imposed upon
u.s. The new armistice arrangements and the
modification of the league of nations scheme
have done much to shatter their hopes. AS a
consequence, people have lost faith in Mr..
Wilson's sincerity and others, while they believe
him sincere, do not think that he is able to
achieve his object
Of, course, it is too bad that Mr.. Wilson didn't
hold the confidence and esteem Of those admir-
ing Germans They say it would have been easy
simply a matter of conducting the peace nego-
tiations along lines suggested by Germany.
The Germans are not entirely willing, accord
ing to DIR. Solf, to admit defeat in military way
and he seems to think it rude and cruel to force
realization upon them. He says the Germans are
misunderstood; in the speeches of Ebert, David
and Brockdorff-Ranzau there was no intent to
threaten. ''The belief fostered in England that
the Germans hate her is stupid" he says 1.-THE
Germans do not hate. It is un-German to hate.
Germans become furious at times, but hatred is
another thing"
The doctor is also surprised that France should
appear indicative He thinks it wrong for one
people to hold that attitude toward another--es-
pecially against so mild-mannered people as the
Germans.
Germany's bitter disappointment and shat
tered faith in the magnaminity of President Will
son and the peace conference must be sad t.; con-
template Perhaps DIR. Solf will seek soace in
asking the allies to reimburse Germany -or the
money it spent trying to conquer the world.

A SOCIAL REMEDY.

Social conditions in Pensacola, especially relat-
ing to those consequent to alleged loose morals
among frequenters of the public dance halls OF
the city, were scathingly criticized, in a sermon
by city divine last Sunday. The public dance
hall was blamed for share of the immortality
which is said to exist in the city and the lack OF
Christian homes, where young people might be
brought up in a God fearing way.
We are inclined to agree with the divine, that
the dance hall may be at fault for some of the
moral loosness which does exist in Pensacola
Examinations of records at the courts here show
that large percent of the girls arrested for vio
lation of the act in Pensacola, are less than
.201ysars of age. A still more lamentable feature
Is the fact that nearly every girl arrested is the
victim of social disease, in most cases, very
serious one.
Preaching or lamenting will not remedy such
conditions The u. S. and state public health
work will aid in remedying the condition. But
the great fault is that they are left to come to
the source Of good. We MUST go to them.

SANITARY NOTES
RESTAURANT INSPECTION.

1t may be well at the start to try
to explain the reasons why restau-
rants and food establishments need
inspection of definite character.
There may be some persons who go
in for a general cleanup so that the
place may look nicer. 1t is true that
clean business is good business" But
true sanitarians, persons who make
up a properly regulated city health
department., have a keen insight for
something deeper than what simply
pleases the sense OF sight. The ques-
ton OF disease transmission is the
most important after all.
We know that many diseases are
carried from person to person by
mouth secretions. This transmission
may come about directly or Indirect
ly. Where could more ideal conditions
be found for exchange of mouth Sc
cretionS than in the carelessly con-
Quoted restaurant soda fountain
To paint the possibilities more wildly
some one has suggested that we
should imagine saliva from the mouth
as blue rather than .colorless. In the
course of one day we would see things
in a much bluer shade than we dc
now.
Our real reason for keeping SAM
tary oversight on places that handle
food is to prevent disease being car
ried. Where shall the points of at
tack be? There are. perhaps three
main points which should be en-
phasized:
Washingt Of dishes and utensils
should be carefully done. Heat in the
form of boiling water should be in
sisted on at some point in the pro-
cess. If any disease germs are pres
ent this will destroy them.
All those who handle the food to
prepare or serve it should be certified
as not having any contagious disease
Screening of all doors. windows and
other openings that flies cannot get
in to any considerable number should
be carefully attended to. There are
other phases which should not be neg
lected These will be explained more
fully under future discussions.
The whole question narrows itself
down to the final question of how to
breaks the chain of disease germs as
they proceed from one person to an
other.

A PREDICTION AND AN ANSWER.

Secretary Wilson, of the Department Of Labor,
says: "The present period of readjustment is the
critical time If we can pass through it safely,
we have before from eight to ten years of in
dustrial activity equal to any wave of prosperity
we ever have had. But if there is any serious
unemployment, there will be a period of indus
trial unrest which may lead us to repetition of
the French or the Russian revolution"
Secretary Lane, of the Department of the In
terror, says: eff Congress will appropriate the
relatively small sum which have asked for the
construction of soldier-settlements in every state
in the Union, l can offer jobs almost Immediate
ly to 100000 of our returned fighting men, thus
helping to stem the tide of industrial unrest pre-
dicted by Secretary Wilson; provide farm homes
for $4,000 of these men, thus mitigating the
evils of tenantry; and bring into cultivation L.
100000 acres of at present unproductive land,
thus helpin gto make up the deficiency in the
rate of growth of cultivated land as compared
with the rate of growth of population. There
can be no surer insurance for the nation than to
put its men upon the SOIL"

FOREIGN EMBARGOES.

Alarmists great danger ahead in the an
nounced policy of the French government to limit
imports to the minimum.
Similar fear expressed when England de-
clared it's embargo. 1t, however, proved not to
be serious, effecting only small list of Ameri-
can products and placing few restrictions on our
trade with that country.
While the French ruling will undoubtedly up
set the plans of some American manufacturers
for foreign business, it is probable that interpre-
tation of the order will show that it is not in
tended to be irksome.
There can be objection to the European
countries protecting their own industries so far
as possible. But all Europe stands in need of
American goods and the governments will
scarcely be so shortsighted as to bar materials
and supplies essential to@the welfare of their
people.
America is the only country wholly self-sus-
tanning and it is apparent that all Europe is
economically dependent upon the United States.
Without American food Great Britain would
starve. just as Germany did starve without it.
France can manage to barely exist without
American food. but must import our coal and
iron. Italy is dependent upon coal and iron and
food from America.
This position of advantage gives us tremend-
Gus power in the determination of any embargoes
which the countries of Europe may contemplate.
They will try to protect their own industries
first, but self-interest will demand that they
draw heavily upon the United States for food
and supplies.
American manufacturers seem to have little to
fear in the proposed embargoes.

"In the language of the Federal
Reserve Board" says the New York
Times, Everybody is advising work
and save, and nobody is doing it,
There are more strikes than were
ever known, and consequently more
idle men, and other strikes of i'm
mense proportions threatened.
In the country generally the people
are not working and saving as they
did during the war. Those who arc
working are not saving. They are
spending extravegantly, buying the
highest priced goods in the stores. In
many instances, as is learned from
the postmasters, people who saved
Thrift Stamps are cashing in on
them and spending their money in
high living.
The President of large lumber
company stated recently that his
workmen were buying $4,000 auto
mobiles, silk shirts, $1,000, necktics
for $500 and their wives and daugh-
tiers wearing silk stockings, $50, hats,
and the highest priced goods in the
store. No wonder living is high. We
seem to have fogotten valuable les
sons learned during the war. The
pendulum is swinging-has already
swung-to the other extreme.
High living means high costs, of
course. Just SO long rs the merchants
can sell high priced stuff just that
long will prices remain high.
Reduce consumption, increase pro-
duction, is the only cure for the ills
we have. Cut out extravaganza. To
see workman living on daily
salary, pay ten cents for "shine,
and seventy five cents to have his
head scrubbed is common sight in
the barber shops, and other exit
avegances in dress and Unnecessary
grocery bills-these are only straws
but they clearly indicate the direction
of the wind
Economy, industry, production will
bring things to level People in the
blessed county of Tazcwcll can. if
they will, reduce expenses by gar
dens and truck patches, and cutting
out useless luXuries and live better
and healthier lives at the same time.
Congress can and will do, much Il.
doubt, in the way of throttling pro
fiteers, but after all, the producer
and consumer controls the markets,
but high, extravagant living always
and forever, means high costs.

VIRGINIA APPROVES

Former "Machine" Men Are
Loudest in Praise of Ac-

SneciaI Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, November 15.-Ap-
pointment of Carter Glass to the
United States Senate was received
with expressions of approval by all
factions in Virginia. He was the Ia
vorlte of the vast majority OF the peo-
pie. There were many "favorite'
candidates, and it was at noon today
that huge volume of petit ons were
presented in behalf Of Harry St.

would not be appointed, and within

Beef is general in Kichmond to-
night that Mr. Glass will have no op-
position in the democratic primary
next year, and 1T is scarcely probable
that the republicans Will enter man
in the November election against him.
The most pronounced OF the ersL-
while machine" men were the loud
est in expression of commendation OF
the action of the governor. Mr.. Glass
was considered the logical man for
the position. The "antimachine" fac
ton more largely favored Mr.. Tucker,
who was considered as an adherent of
the governor. 1t is generally accented
that Mr.. Glass supported another than
Davis for governor.
For some time it has been known
that the former factions had found
common ground and that the old
lines were only memory. Mr. Glass
was here recently and passed con-
siderable time with man known to
have formerly opposed him. a pro-
nounced organization man.
From every angle the appointment
is approved. If it has any political
significance it is that Gov. Davis is
an avowed supporter of President
Wilson, and in naming Mr.. Glass he
has picked a prohibitionist, the an
