Few, indeed are the farm houses
or the homes in the smaller cities and
Villages that cannot have an outdoor

often find that the windows of sleep

In the mistaken belief that night air
is harmful.
This paves the way for disease, espe-

The Bessemer principle Of opera
tions in making steel are very
simple, as it only requires blowing
air through molten metal, but tits
beyond realization what great ma
chinery it requires to roll and
finish the common product.
The so called ingots of steel
would be useless, and great dan
ger to lives who depend upon its
safety, without rolling and press
ing this material into solid mass,
as we know that by pounding any
red hot metal into form that is
subject to quick hardening will
cause air and blow-holes which are
generally due to impurities the
metal may still contain. These
ingots, after taking them out of
the pits, become the stage of plas-
tic material which are placed on
rolls and pressed into solidness as
well as shapes called blooms. !"
These blooms become the first
stage of the finished product and

Friends to Baseball

When they are handing out
bouquets to men who have proved
themselves friends to baseball let
them give the biggest bouquet of
all to President Wilson," said Mr..
Hampstead, owner of the New
York Giants, in recent interview.
'Yes, i mean ii" continued the
boss of the biggest baseball prop
erty-on earth. President Wilson
has proved himself the ablest
champion baseball ever had in the
hour of its greatest need.
There was general feeling of
uneasiness verging on hysteria
when the country found itself sud-
denly plunged in the war, which
was devastating all Europe. Many
thoughtless people we're inclined
to criticise almost everything
which did not contribute directly
toward the maintenance of armies
in the field or battleships in the
North Sea. It is impossible to
over-estimate what decentralization
might have resulted to we'll estab-
lished industries when the destruc-
tive tendencies of public opinion
run amuck, were fully Ioosed.
But fortunately for the coun-
try at large Mr.. Wilson held
tenaciously to that clear vision of
the needs of the hour. which has
characterized his administration
from the beginning. He threw
the enormous weight of his infu-
ence into the slogan, business as
usual and particularly sport as
usual.
While many responsible men
In college and amateur athletics
were loudly proclaiming their in
tention to suspend operations dur
ing the period of the war, Presi-
dent Wilson came forward with
the statement that the country
needed its athletics now more than
ever. He saw what many did not
recognize, that wholesome sport
was just the thing needed to re-
vive the spirits of the public at
large, and to maintain the morale
of the sailor and soldier. England,
early in the war made the mistake
of completely demoraliziDg her
athletic schedule.
Therefore, l Icontend that Presi-
dent Wilson has proved himself
the best friend and ablest cham
pion baseball ever knew. "-Base-

have shown the need Of.
There is no denying the fact that our
great melting-p pot has not been per-
forming the service expected Of 1t, and
about which boasts have been made.
In many cases the melting has been
far from satisfactory. Much of what
has gone in has not come out in the
shape and of the quality predicted and
desired. Indeed, it has been but little
affected, and not at all improved, by
the experience.
This should be changed, and the
laws should be changed in an effort
to accomplish the change Our melting
pot should melt, and produce what the
interests of the country demand.
America should be for Americans
native born, and such as born else
where have come to US, not simply to
improve temporarily our moneymak-
ing opportunities, but to east their
permanent lot with us, and accept in
good faith all the obligations of Ameri-
can citizenship.
America could not afford to close
her gates. AS President Benjamin
Harrison felicitously expressed the
matter, they have been Swinging in

government. But the terms of en-
trance should be revised and stiffened,
md the new Congress should make the
matter a feature of reconstruction.

David Lubin,

| It was as though David Lubin, who
died yesterday in Rome, had a vision
of the world war when, some years
ago, he besought governmental aid in
| the establishment of an international
institute of agriculture, to serve as a
clearing house for information regard
ing the world supply of food. He
failed to enlist the interest of this
country and went abroad, finally arous-
ing the cooperative attention of the
King of Italy, who secured an endow-
lment for the institution and established
it in suitable home at Rome. There
Mr.. Lubin worked out a system of -ex-
changes and periodically the institute
published bulletins regarding the sup
ply of certain food commodities, nota
bly, wheat. Had this organization been
more fully founded and recognized
much of the difficulty encountered in
distributing the supply of cereals dur
ing the war period would probably
have been averted. 1t is certain that
as it was the institute rendered valu
able service.
David Lubin aimed primarily at the
prevention of speculation in food ma
terials. He had risen from the hum
blest beginning to a large competence
through his unaided energies and in
telligence, coming penniless to this
country from Europe. He felt deeply
on the subject of the misery caused by
price juggling in the marketing of the
necessities of life and his principal
object in establishing the international
Institute of Agriculture was to check
this evil. He was a practical idealist,
whose life was devoted to the welfare
of his fellows.

A Wise Breathing Spell.

The President has just taken his first
rest since arriving cover there"-a
couple of days, prescribed by his ply.
sician. He has been going at a lively
clip, from conferences to receptions
from receptions to banquets. Speeches
have been expected, and he has met
the expectations. The weather has not
upon the whole been favorable. While
in England he encountered only wet
skies. A good deal of rain has fallen
in Paris. On his brief visit to the
American troops he was splashed with
mud and water.
Mr.. Wilson is hardy, and when out
of keller good patient.
In the White House he has sheltered
under a rule different from that OBJ
served by many of his predecessors.
He has not been accessible to many
persons. He has never allowed Office
hunters or their friends to pursue him.
Patronage has probably been less of
an annoyance to him than to any other
federal dispenser. There have been
eomplaints-some of them loud-but
they have not moved him. He has "1et
Smith walk"
In this way he has found time for
recreation-golf of mornings, motor
ing of afternoons and the theater of
evenings-and his health and spirits
have kept up.
Abroad, he has been differently cir
cumstanced. He must see "Smith"
whenever aSmith" called. He has not
desired, and would not have been able
had he desired, to shut himself in.
His mission has called for accessible
ity. Seeking light, he has been obliged
to keep his door open.
The strain will be greater from now
on. The Italian trip will keep him on
the jump, and soon after his return
to Paris the brethren will gather from
near and from far for the peace con-
ference. And when the conference
opens, Mr.. Wilson, as one Of the lead
ing figures, will not have an hour he
can call his own while he remains at
the conference table.

immigration.

The immigration committee of the
House discussed recently proposals
for drastic legislation to, prevent a
rush Of aliens into this country with
the conclusion of peace" and will re-
sumo consideration of the subject after
the holidays.
There may not be time at the pres
emit session for any legislation of this
character, but there is every reason
why the subject should have attention
now. The result of inquiry and dis
cussion can be passed ON to the next
Congress, and added to any like in
quiry and discussion that body may
institute.
There may not be the danger on
this score that is feared in some quar-
terra In the first place, if aliens in
great numbers stood ready and dis
posed to rush to this country upon the
signing Of the peace treaty, ships would

Congestion But Slightly Relieved


If, as figures printed in The Star
elsewhere today indicate, there has
been a net reduction of the govern
ment's clerical force of only ,623 per-
sons since the armistice was signed
the situation here as regards conges-
ton is not appreciably relieved. There
was a belief that many thousands of
new workers had left the city perma-
nently, greatly reducing the popula-
ton. But it appears that there have
been enough new appointments almost
to make up the loss, while many of the
clerks who have been let out of dimin-
ish1hgor dissolving bureaus have been
taken into other branches of the serv-
ice, where they are needed.

buildings and grounds Will next week

finished and is in use. The others are
nearly ready for use. The Senate has
adopted resolution stopping the work,
but it is progressing meanwhile as
the House considers the measure.
If there is continuing need of rooms
for the war workers these buildings
should be completed and put into serv-
ice. If, on the other hand, there is a
prospect of an early and material
reduction Of the force further work
on the dormitories would hardly be
justified. It is most desirable that
every one who works in Washington
should have comfortable quarters, es-
pecially now with disease epidemic in
this city, as elsewhere. To the end of
assuring sufficiency of suitable ac-
contradictions the matter of the DOR
mitories should be disposed of in a
spirit Of assurance, giving the benefit
Of doubt to the clerks who have been
