The Belgians are much incensed
at the selection Of the colors of tho
new German flag. They are the
same as those used in the Belgian
flag and could not easily be distin-
guished at a distance. II does no.
appear, thus far, that there has
been any intentional imitation but
the resentment is nothing but
natural. Germany should select
colors and designs that are different,
al any rate, from those of the allies.
Perhaps it is case of German lack
OF humor.

way Of solving the question and of

From all appearances there is a

at present be predicted as TO the
result Of such referendum.

SENATE HAS "FLYING-ITISr

Washington Correspondent Cleveland
 Plain Dealer.
 ''F1ying-itis" has become so aggra- vated among the members of the United States Senate that republican leaders are fearful they may lose con- trol of the new Senate because of it.
 It is this way:
 Senator Jones of Washington sev- eral months ago prevailed upon Col onel Lee of the British air service to take him up in his plane.
 The British officer turned him over time or two" with the 1oop-the- loops, falling leaves and Immelman turns Ever since Senator Jones has been spreading the flying contagion to other senators.
 Party leaders feel sure that one of the ambryo aviators is almost sure to meet with an accident some of these days, so they propose that re- publican and democratic senators who are about to make a flight arrange pairs" just as they do when they are to be absent from the Senate. If they go up together and their plane meets with an accident, the re- publicans, who now have a majority of one, will not be in danger of los | ing control of the new Senate before | they organize it.

 From the headquarters of tho older criticism now come fresh ob- jections. Argument is made that no southern crop is needed to supple ment production elsewhere save cot tdn. AS a result of his entering new field, as proposed, the cotton grower will injure the food markets of other sections while also profiting by in- creased income from his staple.
 There is, says an objector, gross economic injustice in the plan. The planters are told that they are alons among the agriculturists in seeking td control crop market and that cGvering fields that should be sowed with cotton, with peas, beans and corn is merely camouflage
 In short, the cotton planter is to bG damned if he does, and damned if, he doesn't. However, he may rest assured that he has the poorest lot of critics of the times. Objection to larger production of food is the final

Army Surgeons Plan
 To Swat the Fly

1.-THE surgeon generals office IS
 J preparing to wage relentless war on. the house fly this summer. Army camps and stations will be made as nearly flv-nroof as modern science and ingenuity will permit. There will ba no eyrounds for the criticism of last wear when in the haste and confusion of creating a large national army the ,,,,sca domestic was hard to control.
 The surgeon general is sending out instructions to camp surgeons on the annroved methods for combating flies. Each camp will be provided with a network of fly traps, fly paper and "swatters" in Q reat profusion. The trans come in three sizes, 21x21 inches. 14x1A inches, and a smaller tran in the form of a balloon or cone which is six inches in diameter. Each camp will have an average or ooo traps.
 Two hundred rolls of fly paper a week will also be allotted for mis- cellaneous use and by starting the campaign early it IS hoped to make the flv population at the army camps negligible factor The surgeon gen. erals office will certainly receive the enthusiastic cooperation of camp au- thorities and soldiers, for the fly Is not only a menace to health, but car do more to take the joy out ot h1s than any other pest known to man

There have been many criticisms leveled at the cotton pro- ducers of the south by the public lead CTS and the press of other sections Of the country.
 There was an outcry in 1917 be- cause of the, failure of the govern ment to fix a maximum for cotton, as in the case of wheat and there were many loose and deplorable unjusti- fable assaults upon the war-stressed federal government for its alleged nreferentiaI treatment of the south ern interests. In parts of the coun- try where demagogy was sufficiently strong this charged discrimination en- tered into the political campaigns.

Building a Fortune
 With Nickels and Dimes

MESPITE the yawping of bolshe- lV wiki, America is still the land of opportunity. The career of F. w. Woolworth, who died the other day, is a fine illustration of a man who dreamed a dream and lived to see it come true.
 As nearly everybody knows, Wool worth originated the five and ten cent store. Twice he tried salesman ship at the munificent salary of Sl0 week, and both times he failed. The second time his salary was reduced to SS.5O a week. He had wife and baby then. Starting in 1878 with capital of $50 in Utica, N. Y, he began to make money, but the Utica store was a failure, so he moved elsewhere with $15O0.
 Success came rapidly, although many of the Woolworth stores opened in various cities proved unprofitable and were immediately closed. Like every other man who amasses a great fortune, Woolworth, as he said him. self, "knew when to run" He profit ed by his mistakes, but never lost faith in himself or his idea.
 When Woolworth died he was re- puted to be worth $65, ,000,000 He was at the head of a company with 1000 stores in the United States and Canada and 75 in Great Britain. Anc to cap business romance, he built the tallest office building in the world the Woolworth building in New York which cost SIS 3,O0O,000, and is said t. be "one of the finest modern examples of Gothic architecture"

American School Children
 Are Physically Defective

6NHE statement made by the execu- U tive committee of the National Physical Education Service, in Wash ington, that fifty per cent of the twenty-five million boys and girls of school age in the United States sui fer from physical defects and ailments that retard their normal development is not so surprising in the light Of statistics compiled by army authorl- ties when the selective draft was in operation.
 It was shown that nation, pre- sunably virile, contained a high per- centage of men physically unfit for army duty. The figures are not at hand, but they caused widespread comment when published. For the first time American manhood was given thorough test and while there was no difficulty in getting all the men needed for our army, thousands of men who didn't even know that there was anything wrong with then were rejected.
 The same causes which are blamed for defective children were in large measure responsible for the physica unfitness of Americas young men To develop the mind without develop ing the body, is almost as great ; mistake as to reverse the process an' concentrate on muscle building to tn exclusion of all intellectual pursuits Fresh air. healthful environment an

BOTTLES AND BAGGAGE

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
 The steady flow of complaints that follows the daily searching of private baggage of railroad passengers travel ing through Virginia is adding nothing to the esteem of the prohibition law of that state or the executive discre- ton of the officers charged with the duty of seizing contraband "wet goods" Whether the grievances are exaggerat- ed as to circumstances or numbers may require more facts to establish, but if only half the charges are substantiated there is a golden opportunity for re- form in the methods~of the new liquor law officers.
 Recently reports have been frequent that sleeping cars have been entered and arbitrary search of baggage and clothing made in a manner calculated, if not intended, to provoke irritations and, if persisted in, forcible resistance ! that may result seriously. The loudest ! complaints have come, quite naturally, 1 from women passengers aroused from sleep by searching parties who forth with began rummaging through berths | for "likkah" which they probably 1 didn't expect to find.
