Funds for Scientific Research.

From the Review.
Curiously enough, England. whom
We have never accused of appreciat-
ing and sustaining scientific work
more than we do. has better learned
the lesson of the war in this regard
than we have. Perhaps she needed
more to learn it. At any rate, Eng
land. seeing that Germany was able
to make the formidable war effort she
did make largely because Of her aid
from science. and seeing that the fnal
of this effort by the allies
and America was also largely due to a
successful appeal to science. has al
ready taken steps to keep science
promptly available to her In all future
time by a material encouragement OF
scientific research. She has estab-
lished a department of scientific and
industrial research. with beginning
fund of $5,O00.O00 to enable 1t to slim
ulate and support scientific investi :
cation for the beneht OF the empire.
In addition the dominions, notably
Canada and Australia, have independ-
emily appropriated funds for similar
work on problems peculiar to their
own conditions. Japan has also estab-
'ished a national laboratory for scien-
Nfic and industrial research with q
fund Of $2,50O.000 for use during the
next ten years: Italy; despite, or per-
haps because Of. political and social
dtfficulties, is also establishing q na-
tional research council.

Kicks Chauffeur

"A stranger who came to the city from the north a few days ago. had little encounter yesterday with a flivver' and it's occupant that very likely has set new record for quick and effac- tive action in Birmingham" says v. H. Polk
 At the corner of Nineteenth street and Fourth avenue the driver made a signal for a left turn, and the stranger proceeded to cross the street. The driver. instead turned to the right and
 ran squarely into the pedestrian. The
 motor went dead, and the driver light
 ed from his coal scuttle to crank it.
 At this point, the stranger without questions or preliminaries knock ed She
 man down and gave him three gccd. sound memory kicks. If you want my address it is so and so and I'd be very glad to have you call around. I'd be delighted to do it all over again, was

Reserve System Is
 Generous to Farmers

 ~. OVERNOR HARDING of the M federal reserve board has made a statement showing that nearly two billions of dollars worth of paper based on production and sales of farm products has been rediscounted by the federal reserve banks this year com pared with $719,0O0,OOO in 1919. In other words, the federal reserve sys- tenn has done nearly three times as much in the way of financing the farmer this year as was done last year.
 The rediscounts handled by the sixth district bank at Atlanta amount to $321 ,000, ,000 0comparedw $91 100000 last year, and Richmond handled $325,000,o00 in 1920, compared with 2,00O,o00 in 1919.
 One finds it difficult under this showing to substantiate the charges that the reserve banks have not acted generously toward the farming inter- ests. To do more would have jeop- ardized the entire banking interests of the south and caused many bank failures. The Dakota banks went too strong on agricultural paper and many of them failed.
 The reserve system is under fire because it insists on complying with banking laws and conducting banks as they should be conducted. When all have gone through the mill of re- adjustment it will be realized that the reserve system did well in keep ing it's head.

Sounds Like Recall
of The Hague Tribunal

N DVICES from Marion are to the A effect that: "A world peace plan based on the united moral influ- ence of the great powers is taking more or less concrete form in Sena- tor Harding's mind as he gathers ad- vice on the subject from every view point"
 If this expresses the mental atti- tude of the incoming President and the result is to be a moral infm- ence" arrangement only, we might as well call back the old Hague trib- unal, set it going again and smile the smile of complacency that marked the world while Germany was preparing her terrific onslaught.
 Moral influence" is very good in it's way, but the newly freed Poles, the restless Balkan states, the nerv- ous Italians, the socialistic Russians, not to mention France and Turkey, will require more than moral influ- ence" from time to time to hold them in leash.
 Nations, large and small, must needs feel that the united navies and armies of other nations may be used against them in case they misbehave, CT they will feel free to misbehave according to the temper of the hour.
 The one certain thing is that the unscrambling of the League of Nations will prove mighty difficult job. It may not be perfect, but it has displayed so much more real strength than The Hague tribunal with its moral influence" alone that the more than 40 nations banded in the league will hesitate to scrap it at any bidding.

Fine Christmas .present

One of the most amusing things that has happened to me this Christmas vas what my young son, James, said 70 me the other day said Mrs. Chiles Clifton Terrell
 q was asking him what he wanted for Christmas. and it didn't take i'm long to say, for he had already deci1ed in his own mind just what would please him most; so he said:
 Enough money to get good seat to hear Fritz Kreisler and Schumnnn- Helnk. and then mother if 1 have any money left over, I'll buy something for you
 It was certainly very character ;stic of the child, for he is perfectly crazy about music l have never seen any body love it more than he does, and when he heard that Fritz Kreisler was looming so near the Christmas holidays his one idea was to get enough money to buy seat for the concert"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Flirting With Death

Anyone who failed to see Prince Nelson perform his sensa uonal act on the high wire stretched across Twen- tieth street missed one of the most re- markable exhibitions of its kind in the world" said Frank B. Clark. q have seen many so-called high wire experts hut they were all amateurs when com pared with Nelson
 "of course. the slightest mishap meant certain death, but this man liter ally played around on the wire like he had been on the ground. To walk across and back blindfolded, to walk across in a sack, to sit down in chair and even to stand on his head and hold out his hands and feet from the chair balanced on the wire seems almost unbelievable.
 "lt was a really remarkable act and would advise everyone who failed to see the exhibits yesterday to be on hand this afternoon or tonight at s o'clock. While the act is entirely free, am informed that those who wit messed the performances yesterday were glad to contribute to the fund, all the proceeds going to the Anti Tuberculosis association of this county"
