FILES COMPLAINT ON
 ROUTING IF PRODUCE

Attacking the rating and routing Of fresh fruits, vegetables. melons and apples from the northwestern states to Arizona. Roland Johnston of the traffic bureau of the chamber of com merce has filed complaint before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington, D. c.
 Johnston not only believes that sev- eral hundred miles could be cut off by different routing of greens and fruits to Arizona, but that the refrig- erating charges would be greatly les sened.
 The shipments to which he has ob- pection particularly a. to apples. come from Washington, Oregon. Idaho, Mon tana and British Columbia to various points in the state. The routing now in effect is through Portland, and Johnston's plan is through Salt Lake City and Cotton with Los Angeles as the gateway.
 If the case comes to hearing it is understood that the corporation com- mission will intervene.

Increases of Salaries in Accord
ance With Living Needs
By BILL PRICE.

When Congress earnestly takes up for definite
sideraon the pressing salary needs OF the badly under
paid employees of the District government will determine
whether increases of salaries should be made in accordance
with living exigences along lines OF class grade
distinctions
The bill of Congressman Zihlman in the House and
similar measure in the Senate, well the recommends
tons of the Commissioners, depart from the fiat bonus
policy followed in the last two years by Congress to the
extent that there is recognition that the lowest paid
employees should proportOnatey higher
than better paid employees.
Before the world was turned upside down by the
and the trying that in progress the idea
that distinctions in salaries in Government or municipal
service tended toward stimulation of ambition on the part
Of those a class below reach the classes above bringing
greater efficiency and effort
Humanity and justice demand that the main consider
alton should be living wage and that distinctions should
not be finely drawn There in the District govern
ment eighty five faithful workers whose annual salary
is 5000 per year. Under the bonus system they get $40
per year additional, but the drawing s., 500 year
also gets that $24O additional One man, probably with
wife and children must try to live $40 year, while
the other has difficulty in living deceny $3.50 If the

full employee
There are over 300 employees of the District govern
ment good and women whose salaries 81 900
less.
The Commissioners propose that where the basic salary
less the increase in pay shall be 40 cent;
where 200 less 80 per cent; 800 less 20
cent; $500 or ess per cent Congress could properly
give still greater increase to employees who paid such
inhumanly small salaries as $500 pc year.
The argument may be made tha if employees paid that
little money do not like their positions they should seek
better salaries elsewhere The bulk of them however

MISS sELF-CoNsCIoUS
Face surgery gained remarkable
strides during the war as the re-
suit Of army surgeons being called
upon to reconstruct the shattered
faces of soldiers. Much also is
now being done for persons in pr
vate life. However, l think little
can be done for the mouth and
lips and in your case it would be
worse than folly to consider it. In
the first place the fee would I'M
doubtedly be beyond your pocket

are always problematical and you

The best thing you can do lies
in the power of your own mind.
Forget your thick lips for six
months and at the end Of that
time they will not seem so unbear-
able to you. BY your self-con-
seriousness, you undoubtedly draw
the attention of others to them
and they seem worse than they
are. Abnormally thick lips are
usually caused by adenoids or
throat troubles which make the
individual breathe through the
mouth. II would be well to have

ONE MAN

FLlAS TAYLOR, who ha, just died in
- Kcnsington, was ninety-two years
old. He worked all his life and founded
family, church and a good name. His
was cheerful life. He never paraded
with the disconsolate. He would have
been amazed if any one called him op-
pressed, because he wasn't oppressed
He seems to have been happier than any
boss he ever had
Such men are fewer than they used to
be. 1t is hard to convince any man that
decent work offers the surest way not
only to health, but to happiness. What
has become of the native traits of indus
try and ambition? And what has become
of the oldfashioncd type of foreigner
who, after few years in America, could
acquire a house and silk shirt, hopes
pnd aspirations and perhaps a fivver, and
tilt his hat and bawl out the unruly poll
ticians with the rest Of us-even if he
did it with an accent that tended swiftly

OUR LUXURY POWER

IF THE appetite for luxuries is, as has
l sometimes been held, an index Of civili-
zation, the development of the United
States since the pre-war days has been
prodigous. The Bureau of the Mint has
estimated that in 1915 our consumption
of gold for use in the arts amounted to
more than $4,000, 900 worth. In 1919 the
total scared to $65,000,000 and for the
first time since the auriferous year of
40 we made use of more gold in this
country than the nation itself could sup
ply from its mines.
Very few Of the arts in which gold is a
factor can be regarded as absolutely in
dispensable to the well-being of man.
Populations in want Of food or unable to
pay high prices for necessities do not
clamor insistently for jewelry and even
though it would minister to their esthetic
sense, they refrain from buying such ex-
pensive trinkets.
Doubts have been entertained concern
ing what the war taught US. There can
be no question, however, that after
the victory we imposingly realized our
luxury power and were under no marked
restraint in exercising it,

ELEMENTS OF THE TREATY CASE

HERBERT HOOVER regards the
peace treaty quite from the angle Of
the average rational American. Before
the students of Johns Hopkins University
yesterday he expressed his conviction
that the majority of the people realize
"the necessity of the league with reserva-
tions." Brushing aside obfuscating ouib-
bles, he read warning to the 'lesser
reservationists, who are in this instance
the Democratic minority in the Senate,
urging them to agree with the mild
reservationists' and pointing, out to them
that by such concession they will secure
''all the major functions of the league"
The great mass of Americans are un-
questionably in accord with these senti-
ments. Opposing views are to be found
among those senators who wish an unin-
terpreted treaty and the obstinate high
handed group of irreconcilables who seek
to destroy the pact. Only little more
compromising is needed to clip the wings
of these obstructionists.
The folly of carrying the treaty into
the campaign is obvious. Mr. Hoover
sees it as an agitated performance over
a subject about which "the public has
already made up it's mind" This is a
simple statement of fact, but one which
cannot be repeated too often so long as
such danger impends.
