Admira. Sims Medal.

From the New York World.
Although A~dmiralaSims refused to &C
cept the distinguished service medal
awarded him nearly a yea ago., 1t is at
the bureau OF navigation, to be held
until called for. He can get it whenever
he sees fit, and on the other hand no
power on earth can force him to take 1t.
It is his property exclusively. If it az
fords him more qualification to treat it
with scorn as a recognition of his SER
vices during the war, he may nurse his
grievance to keep it warm, but the re-
cords OF the navy department Will tes-
tify to the high honors that deservedly
fell to his share.
After all, no administration or govern
ment ever distributed honors to the sat
isfaction of everybody. Always, as a
rule of human nature, dissent or criti-
cism must be heard. Admiral Sims was
not the first and will hardly be the last
to ~disapprove the official recommends
tons in such circumstances. He man
aged to raise a first-class row, and that
may seem sufficient compensation for
denying himself the privilege Of display
ing a decoration coveted by his brothers
in the service.
In time of national emergency the navy
rose to the occasion splendidly, whatever
duties We're required of it, but after the
war it had an attack of nerves. Then
the petty jealousies and personal fault
findings for which there had been no
leisure were, exploited at length. The
Sims incident, in the glorious history
of the navy, will nc fill many pages.

For More Honest Dealing.
From the Nillager.

Would it not profit both employer anu
workma to reform the method of their
bargaining? Almost always the men de-
mand double the advantage they hope to
achieve, and almost always the employ
ers stand on unqualified refusal when
they intend but half a refusal. We can
not live on a cent less, declares the
union; the business cannot carry another
dollar of expense, say the owners. Both
sides are lying; it is a conventional lie,
and in conventional circumstances mis-
leads no one. But there comes the day
when there is a real wolf. The employ
CTS are in earnest this time when they
say tho cannot go a step further to
meet the wage demands and keep the
business going, but how now can they
express the truth in any words that do
not sound precisely like the lie? Why
does not industry take a lea out of It's
own book? A generation ago the ask
ing prices Of goods were. marked in
cabalistic terms, and the actual selling
price hung on the balance of higgling
ability between buyer and salesman.
With the organization OF big business
came the fixed price marked in plain
figures that he who shops may read; this
was not q philanthropic development: It
was q purely pragmatic effort to lessen
the liability Of poor statesmen and to
eliminate the costly temptations to dis
honesty. Would not reform OF. the Gus

THE foreign trade Of this country, on ccou of n unique position
of the United States in the lastf w years, has expanded to such N extent
that a ontracto to pre-war conditions would have a most depressing
effect. Therefore, it has com to be recognized tina another large piece
of equally important financial machinery is needed to finance tina foreign

Mr.. McHugh then referred to the very large amount OF Dan n

Delaware Whipplna Post.
the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
When progress in the solution of so
cial problems seems slow, there is al
ways a lesson in patience to be gained
by considering the case Of Delaware and
it's whipping post. It Illustrates the in
ertia of tradition, which conserves the
a as well as the good and retards the
onward course of civilization.
The whipping pest. once a familiar
sight, along with the stocks and pillory,
in every considerable New England
town, has long been tolerated by statute
in this country only in the state Of Della
ware, as eevery school boy" knows. And
the statute is very far from being a dead
letter. The statute indeed provides for
the imposition Of lashes in addition to
Jail sentences at the discretion of the
trial judge.
Between 80 and so men are whipped
in the state yearly. and whipped pub
licly; that is. residents of the state are
permitted by law tot witness the ordeal
II they wish. The stripes are laid upon
the victims bare back with a cat-o'-
n1ne-tails, which, however, mildly APP
piled, raises red welts upon the skin. It
is not a pleasant sight and it is not
surprising that few residents Of the
state take advantage of the laws per-
mission to observe the operation Of
their peculiar institution, in which they
take SO much pride.
h pride is apparent from the action
OF the state Legislature at the last ses-
sion in defeating by a vote Of so to 2 a
bill to abolish the ancient instrumen of
torture. The question is always up and
there are many Delaware people who
agree with Judge Ball., OF their state,
IN declaring that though the whipping
is done as mercifully as may be. 1.-THE
very thing itself is brutalizing, degrad-
ing, disgusting. to the prisoner and to
those who are Witnesses But it Is
warmly defended. Most Of the voters
OF the state, 1t Is said. are convinced
that 1t is a deterrent to crime. The last
legislature apparently thought so. Per-
haps there is less crime in Delaware than
In other states. II so, there are II
states in the union that won't believe
that tne whipping post is tho reason.

Right to Happiness.

Ernest Dimnet, in Harpers.
I should advise American mothers to
keep the pursuit of happiness out of their
daughters constitution if they cannot
keep It out OF their countrV's. A girl
who is given to understand every minute
that she has a right to a good time is
sure to declare before long that she
wonders when the good time is coming,
ever IL she has it at every hour. Do not
max fastidiousS artists in happiness.
Keep on the safe Puritan side; 1t does
not always mean thin lips and specialized
eyes shooting reproach around at ran
dom. I am afraid the idea OF happiness
Is made IN obsession by a great deal OF
apparently moral literature.

I%nfantile paralysis Ia
scarlet FEVER
pr ~
"Hopias cough IA
For exampe, If a child was exposed to
Whooplng cough on November Z and en-
November q he showed no signs of the
Tlsease, the parents, chool teachers,
health officers, in fact, everybody would
be Justified in saying that 4he was safe
SO lar as that exposure was concerned.
In practically no case is a prospective
case 1nfective during the period of incu-
baton. The last few days Of incubation
IN measles and smallpox may be excep-
lions to this rule.
When a person has developed conta-
gion he should be isolated or quaran-
tined until it is safe for him to mingle
with people. During. the early part of
this isol3tion period the person Is sick,
but during the latter portion of it he
may feel well eve though he is bear
ing the seeds of contagion.
In New York state the periods of iso-
lation are fixed as follows:
ChickenpoX-Until u days after the ap-
pearance of the eruption and until the
crusts have fallen off.
Diphtheria-Until two successive neg
alive cultures ave been obtained from
the nose and throat.
Meningitis-Until two weeks after the
temperature has become normal.
Measles-Until at least five days after
the appearance of the rash.
Mumps-Until two weeks after the APP
pearance Of the disease and one week at
ter disappearance of the swelling.
Infant:le paralysis-Until three weeks
from the onset OF the disease.
Scarlet fever-Until 80 days after the
development of the disease.
Smallpox-Until ID days after the de-
velopment of the disease.
Typhoid fever-H the patients occu-
patton brings him in contact with food,
laboratory tests must show that he is
no longer eXcreting typhoid bacilli.
Whooping cough-Until eight weeks
after the development of the disease.
In almost every case the law recognizes
the need of making exceptions to the
rule. AS a matter of fact, not every
case of smallpox, as al example, is no
longer infective Ii days after the de-
velopment of the disease. Some cases
may be safe much earlier and some are
not safe until later.
The New York authorities think how
ever, the danger is so inconsiderable
after the end of the period set that they
say the health officers are safe in ig-
noring it. If the health officers are safe
in ignoring the danger, the people con-
cerned can regard the rule as a Tea-
sonably safe one to follow.
