ABOUT 80 SENATOR'S
FOR RATIFICATION
Is Claim of Ex-President Taft on Visit
to National Capital in Interests
of Treaty.

Washington, Jan. 24.--Former Pres
ident Taft visited the Capitol yester-
day and conferred with senators active
in the movement for peace treaty
compromise. He had talk with SEN
ator MeCumber, Republican, North Da-
kota, mild reservations" leader, and
later planned to see number Of sen
ators regarding the compromise nego.
tiations.
During his visit to the Senate, Mr..
Taft addressed briefly representatives
of local committee which had invited
him to talk at a mass meeting here in
behalf of the treaty. He said he did
not believe a compromise on the reser
walton affecting article 10 of the league
of nations covenant would xiii" the
league.
THE matter of the ratification of
the treaty is in the hands of the sen
ators," said Mr.. Taft, ut must be
worked out by them. Everyone knows
how ! stand on the treaty believe
that the best way is to let the knowl-
edge of the public desire that the treaty
be ratified trickle into the senators.
AT present about so senators are in
favor of ratification, about evenly di-
vided on the reservations. Only those
Ia reservations stand between them, it
seems to me that a compromise can be
had and the treaty ratified"

A CHARMING CONDUCTOR.
Is Modest Altschuler of the Russian
Symphony Orchestra.

There is something charming about
the way in which Modest Altsehuler,
conductor Of the Russian Symphony or
chestra, which viii appear at Montpel-
Ter city hall on Feb. TO- speaks of
America as 'our land" and links him
self with Americans as we, talking
and working, always, for national
American music, Just as enthusiastical-
" as he has talked and worked for a
better appreciation Of Russian music
in America.
He has succeeded in lifting Russian
to-day, and one may presage from this
accomplishment that his efforts to-
wards establishing a national American
Conservatory of Music in this country
will meet with like success.
In the latter work he has the aid OF
Miss Margaret Wilson, who also is en-
ergetieally assisting to make the beau
ties of Russian music better known
through a woman's organization affili-
ated with the Russian symphony or
chestra
Recently Modest Altschuler delivered
little sketch of Russian history
through which ran that strain of de-
lightfnl humor that makes him so be-
loved as a conversationalist Speaking
of the time when the country was in
habited by the Slavs, Mr.. Altschuler
said:
"The first prince was an Irishman.
How in the world he got there, | don't
know, but leave il TO the Irishman,"
he confded, amid the cheers of his
eonvulsed audience. The next
prince brought the Greek orthodox re-
ligion to Russia and hired priests to
teach the people to pray. In Russian
there are no seats and the

two hour service. In the year 9Ss Rus

A Clerical view of Hoover.

Herbert Hoover is not claimed by
either Republicans or Democrats. We
are among those who regard him as
better suited to our country's purpose,
on our advent into world affairs, than
any other man who has been men
toned. Mr.. Hoover knows the world
better because he has lived abroad, both
east and west, longer than any other
American In public life He is equipped
masterfully with a knowledge of bust
ness and its administration. He is on
the human side in industry. He stands
hardly less than an immortal figure
for his sympathy, which he organized
into an engine of relief and life-sav-
in for tens OF millions of hungry peo-
pie. The women did more than he
asked Of them in the war His in
fuence In behalf of the league of ma.
tions has been wonderful. His inter
national opinions find a place in the
greatest newspapers on the first page,
and they belong there. Statesman in
the sense of maker OF constructive new
plans he is not. We do not need such
a president. We need a high minded
human being with the synthetic genius
to reorganize our disorderly and be-
wildered country. A man, incidentally,
who withholds himself in the back
ground. As engineer, Mr.. Hoover has
expanded his labors to include the
things which will work in human ma
ture. We believe he is this very hour
the most powerful friend. Of democracy
in its stand against bolshevsm be-
cause he speaks with authority Of the
things that mankind can do and keep
on doing; and conversely, he is the very
best bulwark Of law and order because
he never flies off on mere theories but
tests things by known results. In the
soul of him Is mistaken idealism, the
token Of his faith, his religion. And he
is not a politician Christian Register. |

Washington, Jan. 24Assailing the
Senate for inaction on the peace treaty,

oerats in the Senate "were playing

ord, Senator Ashurst said, because Is

More Railroad efficiency"

In the 10 or 8 years before govern
ment control began, the successful eff
fort of the Erie railroad to rehabiltate
itself, under President Underwood, was
one of the most interesting phenomena
OF the American railroad world. Finan-
cially, to be sure, the company had new
err recovered from the scandals of many
years ago, and government control af-
forded r6lief in an acute situation. I'm
der government control, the Erie has
gone forward to new conquests which
attest the ability with which IL has
been managed during that period and
was managed before.
In a recent statement TO employees,
the federal manager, A. J. Stone, for
merly vice president in charge of oper-
alton, has been able to show that the
Erie leads all competing" lines in the
average miles per car per day one
crucial test Of railroad efficiency. In
October. 1919. the Fries average per
day was 37.5, against 30.5 for the Lack
wanna, Pts for the New York Central,
PAP for the Lehigh Valley, "a and 29.4
for the Baltimore and Ohio, east and
west. respectively, and PAS and GA for
the Pennsylvania, east and west, re-
spectively.
As the character OF traffic governs
TO a great extent the daily movement
these figures do not mean that the Erie
was more efficient than the other rail-
roads in the degree indicated by the
difference in the figures. Thus the
Erie's comparisons with its own previ-
Gus records are more enlightening The

From that source we have been ac-
customed to get most of our fire
opals, which are very beautiful and
brilliant, with flaming hues. This vari-
ETY., however, is less highly esteemed
than the so.called noble opal which is
whitish, translucent, and shot through
with CLEANS of all colors of the rain
bow
Remarkably fine opals, many of them
mobile" are obtained from the neigh
borhood OF Moscow, in Idaho, where
they occur in beds of volcanic ashes
Apparently their material was depos
tied by water while the ashes were
hot, and masses OF cold cinder when
broken open reveal the gem stones.
Opals are in certain respects alto
gether peculiar among gem stones, and
more interesting ON that account.
Whereas other gems, such as the ruby,
the emerald and the sapphire, owe their
colors to mineral elements by which
the crystals are stained. the brilliant
tints of the opal are due to its struc-
ture, ever so many minute cracks re-
hecting light at different angles from
their edges.
An amethyst is quartz crystal
stained with manganese. Opal is quartz
crystal of another variety, containing
from five to - per cent of water. Both
are formed by the deposition Of silica
from water; and it was in this way
that three molluscau shells transformed
into opal, recently given to Harvard
college, underwent their strange meta
