TEACH HEALTH
FIRST OF ALL
TO The YOUNG
Wasting Enormous Sums Trying TO
Instruct Physically Handi-
capped Children.

Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 24.-The
lives of hundreds of thousands of
persons are sacrificed annually, hu-
man power immeasurably wasted
and staggering economic loss re-
suits from the failure to apply Sci
entific knowledge to the prevention
of needless weakness, disease and
death, said DR.. Thomas D. Wood.
professor of physical education at
Columbia university, New York, ad-
dressing the National Council OF
Education today.
Our schools are wasting enor-
nous sums in trying to educate
children handicapped by i'll health,
DR.. Wood said. "Seventy-five per
cent or 100000 school children of
the United States. have physical de-
fects which are mostly remediable.
This shows that the business Of
keeping the school children Of the
country in good physical condition
is disgrace to the nation.
Every day makes more apparent
the fact that the most vital part of
our educational work is health edu-
cation. The public school is the
chief agency through which this
education must be given and prac-
ticed in sane health living"
Women Follow Men Out.
Josephine Corliss Priston of
Olympia, Wash, president of the
National Education association, told
the council members that years ago
men quit teaching because salaries
were low and now the women
teachers are quitting for the same
reason.

FRANCE HEAVY
SUGAR BUYING
NATION IN '19

Washington, Feb. 24.-Although
there were general complaints Of a
sugar shortage in this country last
year, exports of the commodity
during that time, exceeded those of
the year by more than 1.000, ,000. 900
pounds, according to department of
commerce records. Exports reach
ed a total of 1,475, ,407,678 pounds
compared with 407, ,296,324 pounds
the year before.
One explanation Of the Increase
advanced by trade experts Of the
department is that England sent
much cane to the United States to
be refined and reshipped. Exports
to that country. however, were only
AIS 5,170,564 pounds whereas France
imported 627,6S2,116 pounds. or
nearly half of the total. Italy took
the third largest quantity. 58,s31.-
947 pounds.
Relaxation Of restrictions on
shipments by the allied countries
after the war is believed to be
largely responsible for the increas-
ed exports.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Despite
the foreign exchange situation, the

ceived s474, DOC, 900.

HAS BRIGHT IDEA:
SMOKE SCREEN TO
SIGNAL MARTIANS

Bryn Mawr, Pa. Feb. 24.-Use of
the government smoke making ma
terial left over from the war in
signaling Mars was suggested to-
day by James c. Renshaw, asso-
ciate professor of chemistry at
Bryn Mawr college, who served in
the chemical warfare section of the
American expeditionary forces.
Smoke screens, hundreds of miles
in width, he believes, would be
more likely to be discerned by pos
sible Martians than the geometrical
signs which Sir Oliver Lodge sug-
gested be laid out on the Sahara
desert.
The government has enough
smoke making material to create a
tremendous screen or spot on the
earth and this material can be used
for no other purpose. Professor
Crenshaw said. He advocated COW
ering an area as big as the stata OF
Pennsylvania with either black or
white smoke.

BRITISH ZEAL
AGAINST TURK
IS QUESTIONED
Has Feelings of Own
Moslem Subjects to Be
Considered.

London, Feb. 24.-Agitation in
favor Of expellling the Turks from
Constantinople, which has been a
conspicuous feature in one section
of the press during the last few
days and which has had the sup
port of religious and philanthropic
bodies, met a counter blast from
another section Of the London
newspaper world which contended
the question was one of such i'm
portance that it could not be
settled on sentimental considera-
tions, but must be left to the ma
tured deliberation of the supreme
allied council.
The Telegraph asserted that Brit
ish craftsmanship has neither the
duty nor interest to expel the sui
tan from Constantinople," and ex-
pressed the opinion that agitation
to this end was ''ill inspired and i'll
considered"
Consider Britain's Position.
I'VE counsel those who sincerely
support it," the newspaper contin-
ued, ito give more unprejudiced
study to new factors in the prob
lem, especially Great Britain's po-
sition as a power, which must not
disregard the feelings Of many mil
lions of it's Moslem subjects"
The Daily News, which has al
ways been staunch champion of
the Armenians, and supporter of
Gladstone's demand to sweep the
Turks out of Europe" also calls
for consideration of the problem in
the light of present circumstances.

CALLING FOR
ASHOWDoWN
F|UME
Wilson Sees Success or
Failure of League In
volved in Issue.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.l

Washington, D. c., Feb. a.
Something indeed critical is in
volved in the note which the United
States government is preparing to
send to Great Britain, France and
Italy with reference to the Fiume
question. It involves more than the
mere controversy over territory ON
the Adriatic. 1t involves a defini-
ton of American foreign policy for
the immediate future. 1t will prac-
tically give the allies the choice of
regarding the senate or the pres
ident as the true representative Of
American thought. Not in so many
words, of course, but back OF the
threat which President Wilson
made of Withdrawing the treaty
was a recognition of the fact that
the allies were beginning to despair
of ratifying by America of the
peace treaty and membership in the
League of Nations and were getting
ready to return to settlement of
European affairs in their own way
and without regard to the prin-
ciples on which the armistice with
Germany and Austria-Hungary
was based.
Senate Set Example.
The allies have seen the senate
flout the president. They have seen
both parties in the treaty contro-
versyS engaged in presidential
election contest and America as
whole more or less Indifferent to
the healing of the sores left open
by the peace treaty. Fiume is only
other. The decision to reopen COM
mercial relations with the soviet
was taken without consulting
America. And the truth is the al
lies have absolutely reversed the
position they expressed in their
note of Dec. on the Fiume con-
troversy. They are coming to be-
lieve that expediency requires any
kind Of settlement that will sat
isfy Italy. AS for the Jugo-S Slavs.
well, America isn't giving the eco
nomic assistance asked for. Con-
gress turned down President Will
sons request for s150,000, 900 to aid
the central European republics and
offered $50,000,000. The European
governments see Wilson's assur-
ances and the high professions OF
world partnership which advo-
'tates Of the league in both the Re
publican and Democratic parties
have been making
So far as can be determined here,
the allies mean no disrespect to
President Wilson. They would have
liked to go along with him but the
practicalities of the situation are
staring them in the face. For the
moment the associated powers have
! been brought to realize that the
president might withdraw the
treaty altogether and definitely cut
off American cooperation. This, OF
course, makes the allies hesitate.
! But with the prospect that the SEN
ate will fail to ratify the treaty
anyway, the European governments
may not be affected by Mr.. Wilson's
threat after all. So the next note to
Great Britain, France and Italy
must argue the case before the pub
