HOMES.

A government bulletin on the sub
ject of homes asks some questions
worth considering in these days when
a great home-building campaign is
under way.
In remodeling the old house, or
planning the new one, try it by these
standards: .:'"Does the house provide
comfort, enjoyment, and some pri-
vacy for each member of the family? :?
Has it light, air, sunshine, running wa
ter? Is it easy to keep clean?'
There is nothing suggested here
which cannot be provided in the
house of inexpensive type as well as
in mansion; and any cottage or man
sion which lacks any one Of the sus-
gested features will lack one of the
fundamental elements of a real home.
Even the running water, which may

NEW ENGLAND FARMS IN WAR
TIME.

New England made a, magnificent
showing in answer to the war appeal
for agricultural production.
This comes as a surprise to mos.
people for this section is generally
considered as agriculturally dead, es-
pecially when compared to the mar
velous crop production of the Middle
West.
Although handicapped by natural
conditions and situated where man
power was automatically drained from
their fields, in response to the war call
the farmers of old New England rails
ed their corn percentage more than 1e
per cent and their wheat percentage
over 325 per cent, rye and oats and
barley showed remarkable advances
also. ''.i.'
Even with the reduction of pastur-
age for increased grain production
the farmers increased their raising Of
food producing animals, bringing into
the markets of the country cattle,
sheep and hogs Of quality and guam
ttity which put them among the big
producers.
In this as in everything New Eng
land proved true to the high stand
ards Of patriotism which are a part
Of her heritage, and having found
what she can do it is doubtful if ever
again the history Of that part of our
country will be the history of farms
abandoned and fields given over to
their native rocks and burrs.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1919-06-07

is hard to digest the objection that it
puts the white races under the dom
ination of the colored races.
If any other race, red, yellow, brown
or black, has had more to do with
arranging that Paris settlement, or en-
joys any special prerogatives CT power
under its terms, it isn't visible 70 the
naked eye.
To be sure, there are more color
ed" people of various tints repre-
sented by the allied and associated
nations than there are white folks.
But who controls the bulk Of those
colored populations And who is go
ing to keep on controlling them?
Is anybody afraid of the Hindoos
ruling the world? Or the Chinese :?
Or the Malays? Or the Africans? Or
the Eskimos? Or the Sothu Sea Is
landers?
The matter probably boils down to
Japan. And judging from the scant
consideration Japan has received at
the Peace Conference, and the pitiful
smallness of her military resources
compared witt those Of the other
four big po and the disinclina-
ton of China to cooperate with her,
the common variety of white man
will do precious little worrying about
Japan.
The fact is that never in the history
of the world has the write race been
so powerful and dominant.

TO STUDY MEAT PROBLEMS.

a conference is to be held at the
Hotel McAlpin in New York to obtain
definite information regarding meat
market problems and efficient methods
for meat distribution.
Similar conferences have already
been held in Chicago and. San Fran
cisco. While they are in no sense
probes, the attempt is being made to
get at all the angles of meat buying
and selling in the hope Of improving
some features and eliminating others
which undoubtedly contribute to the
high cost OF meat.
At each conference the men in
charge try to get as many retail mer-
chants together as possible, from all
varieties OF stores, the cash-and-
". the delivery and the chain store,
andSa free discussion is urged of all
retailing problems.
One OF the results of these confer
ences is that the Bureau OF Markets
is going to prepare scientific meat
charts and manual of colored illus
Irattions which can be used as a guide
by the customer in determining the
kind and quality of cuts. It is believ-
ed Nbat such charts will be, of use both
tosbuyer and seller.
Thus far no Investigation has been
of any avail in lowering prices suf-
fciently to benefit a hungry populace,
and If some better method Of con-
ducting distribution or delivery or any
other branch of the meat business can
be found which may make the weekly
meat bill less OF. a burden, everybody
win. be thankful.

;bettered by the erection Of a numbgf

houses.
There are several industries now
domesticated, so to speak, in Sumter,
that are in nowise bound to remain
here. They are growing industries
with a business outlook that is limit
ed only by their ability to produce the
goods their customers demand. The
first and most important item in pro-
ducing these goods is skilled labor.
1t is possible Just now to obtain all
the labor of this class that is needed,
but it is impossible to keep it when
there are no houses to accommodate
the workmen and their families.
It may not be generally realized
some may even deny that it is fact
f-but Sumter is today face to face
with the greatest crisis in the history
OF the town. We are at the turning
point, we can go forward to bigger
and better things or we will go back

dations that skilled workmen must
have. Some of our citizens will de-
clare that this is the cry Of an alarm
ist, but those who do not see the
handwriting on the wall are either
ignorant and cannot read the signs or
are willfully blind.
Sumter must have more houses and
must have them now. Those who are
dependent for living and for the
comforts of life upon the business Of
the city and are consequently those
whD gain most from the growth of
business, or who stand to lose most by
a period of depression, have their
fate in their own hands. If they sit
tight and do nothing they may keep
some of the profits they have saved
from past years but cannot hope to
grow and prosper in a larger measure
than ever before.

A GAS-STEAM ENGINE.

Hawker failed in his fight because,
owning to a defect in the circulation
system, the water in his engine radia-
tor turned to steam and blew away. If
he had had the benefit of an inven-
ton just announced by W. J. Steel.
an English engineer, he woud have
used that steam to add driving-power
to his engine, condensing the steam
to water in the process and using i;
then as usual to keep his engine cool,
and so on; over and over indefinitely.
Heretofore the heat produced b.
the operation of sas-engines, even
when not actively mischievous as in
Hawker's case, has been wasted. Mr.
Still ingeniously Kills two birds with
one stone by taking that heat and
turning it to practical advantage. It
heats and boils the we1cr, and as the
steam is formed it is applied at the
back Of the piston. First there is
combustion-pre from the gaso-
line explosion and then there is pres
sure from the expanding steam. The
two great types of motive power,
steam and gas, considered incompat-
ible, at last are reconciled and made
to work together.
If this invention is all that British
scientists hope, it should, by it's eco
nonlizing energy, effect a vast saving
in fuel consumption and contribute
greatly toward solving transportation
problems. 1t seems almost like the

LGAIHHED COMBINES.

The president of the Western Tn
ion Telegraph Company, testifying be-
fore the senate committee on inter:
state commerce, urges the amendment
Of the Sherman antitrust law so that,
when the telegraph and telephone
lines are. returned to private owner
ship, they can be operated as a '.joint
service
This recommendation will receive
a much more respectful hearing, from
congress and from the public, than it
would have received a few years ago.
The Sherman law is recognized as
having served a useful purpose, but
it's limitations are now seen pretty
clearly In seeking to prevent harm
full monopoly it has too often hinder
ed helpful cooperation. It is gener-
ally admitted that some change of law
or policy must be accomplished that
will make possible the full benefits of
cooperation without endangering pub
lie rights.
A good de ds been done along
this line during the war. The nation
has approved temporary monopoly in
many public utilities when that mo-
nopoly was exercised by the govern
ment. 1t is a question now Of some
compromise policy whereby there may
be similar concentration and co-ordi-
nation of effort under private owner
ship.
This seems especially desirable in
the great transportation and intelli-
gence industries, the railroads, tele-
graphs, telephones, etc. Under prop
er conditions, nearly everybody is con-
vinced, private enterprise can handle
these utilities better than the govern
ment. But they cannot be left to their
own devices as in the old days. There
must be large measure of govern
ment control, so arranged that it will
be Of constructive help.
Congress has rare opportunity for
wise craftsmanship in this field.

Every business man in Sumter has
a direct personal interest in the con-
tinped growth and prosperity of the
town. The more selfish man is, the
more thoroughgoing and relentless he
may have been in profteering at the
expense of the buying public, the
greater is it to his interest that
neither the number nor the buying
ability Of the population of Sumter de-
crease. Population and pay rolls
make for the mercantile and financial
welfare Of town. The more people a
town has and the more money they
earn the greater the prosperity Of the
merchants, banks and professional
men. These are facts that all admit
without argument
Here are few more facts that
cannot be successfully disputed. Sum-
ter has reached the limit of its
growth in population under existing
conditions-for there are not houses
to accommodate comfortably the peo-
pie now here to say nothing of the
large additional numbers who would
come here to live and work if they
could obtain houses for themselves
and families.
