SAYS PRODUCTION ROSE
FOLLOWING CIVIL WAR

After the civil war there was
practically nothing of that which we
known today as labor unrest" de-
clares A. B. Farquhar Company,
Limited.
The restlessness took itself out
in doing. work-not in avoiding it.
Production per. man greatly in
creased after the war. In fact, we
produced so much goods that in
many lines we were ahead of the
facilities for distribution and hence
ahead of the consumption of the
country and had distinct 'over-pro-
duction.'
This revival of business" says
Mr.. Farquhar in his article in De-
cember System. did not begin the
day after peace. 1t took some little
while to get going, but 1t was a
question of months, not of years,
for, fortunately. we were not bur-
dened with 'reconstructers' Of the

THE AFTERMATH.

An Echo of Thanksgiving.
For all the world like a storm-tossed
ship.
In a curdling. whirling sea,
Where the cold winds nip and the
slim crafts lip
Thrusts forward timorously,
The sufferer plunged on his bed OF
pain,
Moaning and grumbling and moan
ing again.
In a fit of agony.
Before the eyes of his fevered mind
A dark and dread array
OF ghosts were lined, ahead and be-
hind,
OF the cot where the sick man lay
Great beads Of sweat stood on his
brow
As he saw the shades and remem-
bered how
He'd spent the previous day.
The ghost Of a gobbIer regarded
him
With a cynical, hooking eye;
And a crowd of dim, dead forms that
Simmered in worldly life drew nigh
They faded away as the new day
broke,
And the victim gasped, when he
then awoke,
-oh. why did take mince pier

MR.. KNOTT ON THE RUSSIAN
SITUATION.

To the sdftor, The Washington Herald:
Your editorial, Great Britain
and Russia" to my thinking
Is decidedly predicated on a
wrong point of view. Lloyd George
acts, talks and proclaims, that there
is no government in Russia; in a
word, the Soviet regime is such a
piece OF lunacy it must and will burn
itself out. He Iloyd George) is
directing the British ship Of state,
as though Russia needed a political
clVllizer or missionary effort to help
the vast majority of Russians to
come to their senses and get togeth-
er substantial government. This
may prove the saviour of this great
country and people and rebound to
the advantage of Britain and add
iaurels to her past diplomacy.
Mr. Vanderlip, our great Ameri-
can banker, just returned from Rus
sia, says: England has Q thousand
fold more reasons to fear COM
munism; yet she has just accepted
trade agreement with Russia, Will
Congress refuse the trade of a bill
lion dollars yearly when our in
dustries are declining merely be-
cause of the groundless fear of a
revolutionary sentiment which is
non-existent?" This seems to me
the lightning of sense in the dark
ness of stagnation now prevailing
around us.

POINTS OUT DANGERS TO CHILL
DREN ON sTREEs.

To the Editcr, The Washington Herald:
Apropos of recent articles in the
papers about reducing the number
of motor accidents by making more
stringent laws regarding the issu-
ance of drivers licenses. it can we'll
be said that children on roller
skates, wagons, scooters and various
kinds Of toy vehicles playing in the
streets are jeopardizing their lives
and are source OF annoyance to
the motorist.
Especially is this true on Six
teenth street at Florida avenue,
where 1 have observed a number of
children coasting down the hill at a
hazardous rate. seemingly oblivious
to any impending danger.
On Pennsylvania avenue, in front
OF the White House, at an hour of
great congestion a negro boy with
laundry on the front Of his elongat-
ed wagon was kneeIing on the rear
Of it with his left leg and propelline
1t with his right. He didn't hug the
curb, but thoughtlessly sailed gaily
along near the car tracks, defying
every passing motorist
Another evidence of carelessness
was displayed on Thirteenth street,
Just over the crest of the hill. A
lad was pushing a little wagon and
hopping on at intervals right in
front of the automobile in which 1
was riding when a wheel of his
wagon struck a stone and he sud
denly rolled Off and fell on his back.
Had 1t not been for the alertness of
the chauffeur, who quickly stopped
the motor, within a few inches of
the PROSTATE boy. a serious accident
and possible death would have re-
suited. BETTY BURTON.

VICIOUS ASSAULT
 MADE ON THE FLIVVER
Senator Sherman, Tapping Ford, Terms His Auto
 International Pest.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Henry Ford and all his works were attacked in the senate again today by Senator Sher- man, republican, Illinois. Setting himself up as lone of the persons who knew everything from birth," Senator Sherman said, MT. Ford had become a financial Mo1och, had secured congressional aid in ac- quiring and improving land for pri- vate purposes and had enlisted the services of the federal government in promoting his political interests in Michigan, while his son, Edsel, was making good his escape from the mill itary draft
 And I may say,'' added the sena- tor, that regard the Ford automo- bile as an international pest. It de- stroys more useful material than any other sink hole in the world. It is a waste of time and substance"
 Senator Sherman declared Ford had acquired 2,O00 acres of land along the Rouge river in Michigan in 1917 for a new plant and then had induced con- gress to appropriate $490,00O for the rivers improvement in order to give right of eminent domain by which adjoining land might be condemned. He said the courts had made "this great pulldHIHTOplSt uOuUle Ln0 pTlC6 he had purposed paying to the estate of a minor child for one tract of land.
 The government" he continued, has become a philantrophy institution for the benefit of MT. Ford. It con- tinually engaged in prom moting his in terests financially and politically
 The senator declared Ford had found the federal government ma chinery inadequate, however, in pros ecuting the Michigan senatorial case, and that literally hundreds of Ford's private agents were swarnning about the Grand Rapids trial "scrutinizing every nook and corner within 100 miles of the courtroom

WHEN IS PRESIDENT
 NOn THE PRESIDENT?
Representative Madden of Illinois Has Bill Which would Settle This
 Question.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Another bill to deal with a situation arising from the inability of a president to perform his duties was introduced today in the house. Representative Madden, re- publican, Illinois, offered measure empowering the cabinet to determine whether a president is disabled.
 It would not become effective until next March f.
 Representative Madden's measure proposes that after a president had been unable for six weeks through physical disability or absence from the country to perform his, duties the cabinet could declare the disability and call upon the vice president to act. The vice president would re- main in the office until the cabinet should declare the presidents dis ability ended.
 Mir Madden said he was-moved to in troduce his bill because MT. Wilson had established a precedent in con- tending that the cabinet meetings could not be held without his order and that definite laws on the subject were desirable.

 Official investigation was directed also toward determining whether the condition of the building and the fact that warning to guests was said 10 have been delayed while employees were fighting the fire warranted a grand jury inquiry,
