PAYING THE PIPER.

I. whats the matter with matri-

ing recital of the domestic squab-
,bles OF a young couple in whom we
were both interested.
:. Here's Jim and Bess who start
out married life with everything in
their favor-youth, and health, and
Intelligence. and enough money to
live on comfortably, and crazily in
love with each other. I'd have
sworn that that marriage was a

is to dance. and feast. and make

Joyous compe Mons whom they have

too ignorant to know that there is
nothing gratis in this world-not

resort We are required to give up
everything we possess for a pass
through its doors.
- And so when matrimony pre-
sents its little bill to them they
are unprepared for the staggering

howl to Heaven that they won't be

THE HEAD NURSE SAYS:
REST At MID DAY.

Extreme hot weather always
crowds the hospitals, and when the
lists of heat cases" are scanned in
the daily papers it is not generally
understood by the laity that. there
are two distinct reactions TO neat.
Sunstroke or insulation as the
name indicates sometimes results
from prolonged exposure to the
suns rays but more often II comes
from staying too long in a continu-
ously high temperature. In one
form of sunstroke the temperature
of the patient is extremely high,
higher than in any other fever in
fact. In the other form the tenn
perature is subnormal: this latter
type is called heat exhaustion and
is treated like shock. External
heat and the doctor orders stimu-
lants
In genuine sunstroke the tenn
perature may rise to Ito degrees.
Cold baths are given to reduce the
excessive temperature.
There would be less sunstroke IL
we had but sense enough to learn
lesson from those who dwell in the
tropics. We should by law regu-
late our working hours to conform
with the suns rise leaving the noon
hour and the early afternoon for
siesta and indolent amusements;
working again IL necessary as the
sun declines. The extremes of hot
and cold in the temperate zones in
one season do not give US opportu-
nifty to become acclimated to heat,
but common sense should indicate

highest for ourselves and those
whom we employ.

So while Nurse Jane famed her

the hose around to the rear near
the porch, on which he and Nurse
Jane had been sitting.
Next the bunny gentleman drove

nozzle of the hose to this stick.

Captain Ellyson at kiel

Commander Ellyson, United States
Navy, entered the harbor of Kiel
with his destroyer under orders from
his superior officer. In compliance
with international custom he made
signal to the German naval authori-
ties for permission to anchor" His
signal was not answered. He waited
a reasonable time and then anchored.
No sooner had he anchored than
he was insolently ordered to leave. He
properly stated that he was there by
orders, that he had conformed to
recognized rules and protested
against the order to leave as being
offensive. The German commander
repeated the order and threatened
to open fire on the American flag.
Ellyson told him to go ahead and
that the fire would be returned
There was no firing, and the Ameri-
can ship left the harbor later on
but not from fear of German guns.
Captain Ellyson was right. If the
German authorities objected to his
presence they should have answered
his official signal and denied him
permission to anchor. But when
they ignored his request and then
ordered him out after he had an
chored, this actiep became a dis
courtesy to our flag.
To be sure, the situation is per
haps legally perplexing. But it is
absurd to say we are at war with
Germany. The armistice was signed
two years ago, Hostiities have
ceased. Common sense should pre-
vail. During the armistice with

Slowly Learning

1t is creditable to the intelligence
of the American Federation of La
bor that it has turned to Herbe-t
Hoover to assist it in devlsing pro-
gram which may tend to avert a
labor crisis. That Mr.. Hoover had
been selected as a universal media
tor was report hardly worth de-
rying. But indubitably men like
him can do much to soften asperities
by their knowledge of and sympathy
with both sides of the labor question.
1t is particularly agreeable to
learn that the consultations at Wash
ington have related to production
it's Standardization and its conse-
quent acceleration. That produc-
tion rather than distribution is the
heart of the economic problem is
coming more to be perceived by
sound labor leaders, and it has long
been recognized that wage varia-
tions made it difficult for the fair
employer to compete. Wages, meas
ured in terms Of purchasing power,
will scarcely become stable until they
are equalized. Yet it has been the
habit Of labor unions to tolerate cuts
by small employers and not to be-
come alarmed until large ones were
compelled to follow suit. Such a
course implies locking of the door
after the horse is stolen.
In terms of hours tkere is. ap-
Proclamation to a definition of what
is a fair day. Likewise there is
some approximation to a standard
wage in terms of dollars But little
has been done TO define a day in
either the terms Of purchasing power
of wages or in terms Of work to be
done. The unions have thrown their
influence against piece scales, al
though they afford the most con-
venient method Of encouraging pro-
duction and Of doing justice among
wage workers.
Once fasten beyond removal into
the heads Of workingmen the self
evident and interchangeable fact
that their compensation is chiefly de-
pendent on production, that actual
wages cannot be decreased except
there is coincident increase of pro-
duction and that only in exceptional
Eases do wages come out of capital,
and most industrial disturbances
would automatically cease. Mr..
Hoover LOT only serves the country
at large by his emphasis on produc-
ton, but particularly men whose cap
ital is their daily labor.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-17
The Elymans Interpretation

"Our aim," said Paul Hymans, of
Belgium, wher assuming the presi-
dency of the Assembly of the League
of Nations, "is to establish between
independent states frequent and
friendly contact and meetings from
which affinities and sympathies will
follow"
Here is al end which certainly all
Americans would gladly promotc-a
sentiment which they all applaud.
We recognize the value of getting
better acquainted. Our government
is one based on talk, and mere talk
ing, it has been shown, irons out
countless differences. The medical
profession tells us there is but one
disease-congestion; and but one
remedy-circulation. Similarly, the
political disease Of the world is igno-
rance and its remedy is information
If the League of Nations did moth
ing more than to provide for Pc
riodic meetings cf delegates from
the nations it would be worth main
tanning and joining.
M. Hymans said other interesting
things. Among them is his state
ment that the league would be no
superstate to reduce its members to
tutelage. Thus his idea Of the league
differs fundamentally from that of
President Wilson, who has held that
it would be useless if the constitu-
ton did not include Article X, with
its obligation to enforce the leagues
mandates by force.
By disclaiming superstate and CO.
ercive authority M. Hymans debars
himself from objectng to the Sen
ate's reservation whose object is
merely to preserve that national in
dependence and liberty of action
which he comedies in advance. If
the Hymans Interpretation is ac-
cepted as official, the Geneva league
may be criticized as atfording no
effective guaranty of peace, but is
not attackable on the ground that
Its teeth" are dangerous.
