One Peter. in West End News of
yesterday in commenting in that paper
on what is presumably the recent ex-
change of letters between Mr.. Leader
and Mr.. La Bega, says I'VE are surprised
to see Avis taking an active part.
What is meant by this remark is certainly
more than can be deduced from the cir
cumstance of this paper having accepted
correspondence from both gentlemen and
published the same without comment,
that not being our business, and it
furthermore being the policy to afford
space to all correspondence within reason
able limits, not assn ming any RESPONSE
bility for the opinions of writer's )r

The Congressional Commission.

On Monday the 9th of February at 8
o'clock a. M. a public meeting was con-
vened in the Colonial Council Chamber
at Ch~ristiansted, for the purpose of an
inquiry into the local conditions at pre-
sent existing in the Island, and what in
the view of the inhabitants would tend 10
improve those conditions in the future.
The Commissioners conducted their
Investigations in a systematic end fair
manner, and everybody had an apportu
nifty Of expressing their views who cared
to do SO.
At the closing of the Investigations,
the Chairman invited the different mem
bers of the Commission to address the
meeting which they did, and gave US an
oratorical treat, the like many Of us
never had the pleasure of listening 10
before.
The Commissioners said in part, We
have only been in the Island four days,
but we think we have during that time
discovered the secret of your trouble,
which in our opinion is the lack Of unity"
AS an example, they drew a word DC
ture of a good navigator in an open boat
IN . rough sea, trying to make port, bat
on account of the oarsmen pulling against
each other could not make Roadway.
This example they claimed illustrated
the islands condition very well to their
minds, the large concerns working
against the interests of Il e small ones,
the laborers working against the inter
est of their employers, and all tending
TO decrease production and retard pro
gresS.
They claimed hat St. Croix was a
beautiful island. with as good soil as they
had ever seen, and a sufficient area to
support a much larger population than
the island at present had, if worked in
a proper manner They admonished the
laborers to give good honest work ard
respect heir employers property. and
do their share in increasing the produc-
ton Of the island, if they expected bet
ter wages and conditions, and make it
possible for >eir employers, to meet their

PROTECTING THE EYES.

h majority opinion is that cataract
results from exposure of the eyes to
great heat or some part of the light
ray or both.
There may be other causes, but this
is the explanation of the unusual prev
alence of cataract among glass blowers.
Berry givesea table of temperatures of
metal in certain processes. The melt
ers and the pen hearth steel pourers
work near things that have tempera-
lures of $500. These processes are
comparatively cool. At the other end of
the list is carbon arc Welding with a
temperature of $3.50. Oxyacetyiene
welding requires only 1850, a nice cool
process in comparison. Large electric
heating furnaces develop temperatures
of 5000.
Added to the need of protecting the
eyes against this great heat is the ne
cessity of shielding-thes eye against the
light. THERE'S possibility of harm from
the ultraviolet waves and the mira
reds, as well as the visible part of the
light ray. Men working at any of these
trades must wear goggles if Their vision
is to last.
AS a rule there is no. great difficulty
in getting welders and furnace men to
wear them. but glass blowers are less
careful. The difficulty is in getting
them to wear the right kind.
The frames should be heavy enough to
be firm, made of heat insulated mater
al and easily cleaned. The principal
difficulty is in getting the right kind and
color of glass. Dark blue, smoke, and
red glasses are not proper. Cobalt blue,
popular as a&goggle glass, is not iaeri7
torious according to Berry in the Ned
ical Review of Reviews.

Soil Shortaue.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
The possessor of a small back yard
garden had been accustomed annually in
the spring of the year., to order from a
New England nursery a certain guam
tity of garden soil to replenish his tubs
and borders. In the days before the war
this would come in lavish barrels, good
measure and pressed down. But, last
year there suddenly came a, change
over the face of things. When the soil
arrived, in due course, the measure was
found TO be not so gcod whist the price
was advanced some SO per cent. This
e things were no better, but rattle
worse. Altogether soil must have gone
up 100 per cent. since the war. The
owner of the back yard garden paid, OF
course. Had not everything gon up?
But suddenly it occurred to him to ask
why? Why had soil gone up? Was
there, then a soil shortage? Or What
was the cause of it?

A $4,000 SMILE.

2 This bit of practical philosophy
? is travelling from coast to coast,
T without credit to the original
r source:
7 A street car conductor who al
+ ways wore a smile, even when he
: asked the crowd to move for
+ ward in the car, was left a legacy
of $4,000 by an appreciative pa
+ iron. Not every smile has its
: compensation in as direct and
= material a form, but every smile
+ pays. nevertheless. Sometimes
= it is returned in kind, and
sometimes. like the proverbial
bread cast upon the waters, it
: may not be returned for many
7 days, but the investment is al
+ ways good.
Charles M. Schwab's smile has
: been said to have been worth to
? inspiration or encouragement is
; not to be estimated. A smile is
: more effective in selling goods
; than yards of talk" without it.
A smile smooths many a prospec-
, lively hard approach. Moreover, 1t
: pays in its reflex action-that is.
if it is a genuine smile, which
: always is of inner origin, and
not merely a muscular manipu-
lation of the face.
There's sunshine in a smile,
and gloomy clouds in a crouch.
and moral sunshine is as health
full as a bright clear day is
physically beneficial.
