ARROlL TELLS OF ARMENIAN
SUFFERING.

Did YOU know there had been q

York, recently returned from Armenia,
in the curse Of an address before a
group of county chairmen and workers
for the Near East Relief at a meeting
held in 81. Louis on January 10Th.
"lf YOU think so, imagine yourselves
coming across a desert and finding
hundreds OF young girls stripped or
their clothes and buried to their necks
in sand to await death under the SUM-
clustering rays.
Finding women with red hot nails
bored into their breasts; aged men
with parts of a human body under their
arms which they were taking nome 10
save their grandchildren from star'a-

These and many other vivid pictures
Of the manner in which the Armenian
prOpIe were prosecuted by the turks
because they were Christians. was de
scribed by Arroll.
With John Elder, Of Chicago, Arroll
was cut of in Armenia from the resi-
of the world for II months. During
thai, time these TWO young Americana

IT'S AN AWFUL MESS, BUT

Under the title Not Easy to Change" the New
York Times (Dem.) asserts. among other things, that
Washington. after March 4. will not suddenly be-
come the scene of efficiency and economy" The state
ment is manIfestly true. for, although the Republicans
who will come into full control OF the government on
March 4 have promised efficiency and economy, the
change cannot take place suddenly. There can be
no Immediate reduction OF taxes, and the Republicans.
in their 1920 platform, were frank enough 10 declare
that they could not promise such a desirable attain
ment.
There are numerous reasons why there can be
no sudden reduction of taxes and accomplishment OF
economy. As everybody knows. an enormous debt, now
aggregating some $4,000. 600. 900. has been incurred.

gardless or the needlessness OF some OF the means by
which the debt was incurred.
Moreover, the present administration has nlIed
the government offices with a large number of relative
ly incompetent employees. who are on the payrolls IN
der the Civil Service regulations. The wedding out
process must be a slow one in order to make sure that
the least competent are eliminated. Furthermore.
the present administration has established many new
offices and bureaus to which new duties and public
services have been assigned and it will not do to throw
these in the scrap heap indiscriminately. Care must
be taken not to throw some CT the NEEDED service in
getting rid Of that which is not necessary.
The present administration has been eight years
building its extravagant structure. Getting back on

A FUTURE AMBITION. PERHAPS

Messrs. Dempsey and Carpenter, distinguished
gentlemen, whose claim of fame depends on their fists
rather than in the capital equipment, have signed ar
ticIes for a meeting sometime between Marct LIST and
July 4th Of next year. The meeting viii be of vast i'm
portance Of we guage it by the financial interests in
volved. tir. Dempsey is the more talented man of the
two, If we measure his ability by the wage, for. re-
gardless of the outcome OF the fight. he is to get the
major portion of the money. A fee of $500, 900 for
work consuming probably not more than a half hour
OF his time shows how he rates himself. That his
opponent is satisfied with 100000 less does not prove
that ne is a 'piker exactly" And there are to be
perquisities on the side which are expected to augment
thee receipts appreciably.
These figures show that the enterprise IS one OF
no small magnitude. Really it is an illustration OF
big business. Though not stated IN the news or the
signing of the articles, it is not improbable that Mr..
Dempsey is given adequate guarantees that only fists
will be used by his opponent, since 1t IS well under
stood that he has something akin to conscientious
scruples against using guns, bayonets and other weap-
ons similar to those resorted to In war.
The traditional goal to which all youth has been
pointed has been the presidency. 1t has heretofore
esteemed as topping the highest ambition. 1t is
not improbable that it will lose some OF its attraction.
To the few that win its honors it comes only with
years of effort and those who strive and fail are vast
" more numerous than those who realize their am

may be much more pr ftable. It requires little men

THE ANNAPOLIS HAzING

More is involved in the situation at the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis, where wholesale
expulsion Of midshipmen is threatened because or naz-
ing. than a mere question OF whether or not rough
treatment of the lower classmen is to be stopped.
More important is the question If discipline is to be
maintained.
While something may. perhaps. be said IN favor
Of having a little fun at the newcomers expense. pro
vided they are done no injury, hazing as 1t usually
ben conducted at the academy and at many colleges,
is tndefensible. But beside the point or the present
discussion is the question of whether or not the prac-
tice is harmful.
Strict instructions that hazing was to stop were
issued by the secretary OF the navy. Whether or not
that was a good order was not for the midshipman to
ask 1t was their duty to obey. AS candidates for
commissions as naval officers they themselves will be
called upon some day to issue orders and they, too. will
demand implicit obedience Indispensable though II
Is in the navy, discipline cannot be enforced unless
there is unquestioned obedience of orders.

ders TO others If they themselves have not learned the
lesson of obedience to their superior officers?

hens should produce eggs enough,
when used economically, for family
Of four or five persons throughout the
year, except the moulting period OF
the fall and early winter.
Householders usually desire not
only eggs for the table and for cook
ing, but also an occasional chicken to
eat. For this reason one Of the gen
eral-purpose breeds, such as Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red,
or Orpington, is preferable to the
smaller egg breeds, such as Leghorns.
Not only do the mature fowls Of
these breds, because Of their larger
size, make better table fowls than the
Leghorns, but the young chickens for
the same reasons make better fryers
and roasters, whereas chickens Of the
egg breeds are suitable only for the
smaller broilers.
The general-purpose breds are also
"broody" breeds, the hens making
good sitters and mothers, which is a
decided advantage when 1t is decided
to hatch and raise chickens, since the
hens Of the egg breeds seldom 60

her to an educational, institution,
where the wearing Of cotton hosiery
and plain MILDLY blouses did not

PENALTY FOR
DRINKING MOONsH||VE
CHIvCAGO DOCTOR SAYS SOBER
ING UP PROCESS Is MUCH
MORE DIFFICULT.

Chicago. Dec. 1--Men who in
dulge in the stuff that poses as
whisky these days pays a much stiff
fer price in every way. First off,
they are soaked rs cents for drink
of the stuff, and the SOLDERING up
process is much harder than it used
to be. 1t takes much longer to
come back from the effects of the
-moonshine.
DR.. w. p. Goldsmith. who has
been medical director at Washing
tonian home for the last twenty
five years and who has treated thou
sands of cases OF intoxication in all
stages, gave some additional light on
the effects of prohibition. He says
that when a drunken man staggers
from side to side he has been drink
ing real whisky, but when he spins
like top he has been filing up on
'moonshine."
I'm the old days he said I'VE
treated eight to a hundred patients
each month. Now we have only
eight or ten. The decrease OF
drunkenness among women Is even
greater than among the men. Drink
ing has always affected the eyesight,
but those who indulge in moon
shine are liable to become stone
blind. Contrary to expectations,
there has not been any increase in
the use of drugs since the advent of
prohibition.
