A Dust Storm at Sea.
II Came From the Siberian Border
and Interfered With Sailing.

From Bulletin OF the Department Of
Agriculture.
Recently one of our American mer-
chant vessels, the Santa Rosala, sent in
three successive reports to the Weather
Bureau of the United States Department
OF Agriculture on its trip from Karatsu.
Japan, to Talxu. China, and thence to
Shanghai, en- route to Port Townsend.
Accompanying its May report was a
small envelope full of a fine yellowish
gray dust gathered UP from the decks
where it had fallen.
A note on the subject explained that
the air was SO full of the dust that SAIL
Ing was hazardous, owing to impaired
visibility. This was on April 10. in
latitude 81 deg. 25 min. NJ. longitude
122 deg. so min. e. a point in the
yellow Sea near Port Arthur, on the
peninsula now called Chosen. formerly
Corea.
Investigation revealed that the same
week there had been n violent consi-
mental cyclone or dust storm many miles
10 the north in Mongolia, on the border
of Siberia. Confederation of the fact
that quantities of this dust sufficient
TO impede vessels could be blown as far
south as the East China and yellow
seas was valuable and interesting TO
scientific workers in this field all over
the world.

do wish that Mister Hays
Could see my sweet and charming ways.
And how polite and nice am 90
When some guy comes to mail a ham.
How sweetly to those nuts I smile
When they are asking all the while
For stuff they've bought from Sears
Roebuck,
To whom they've sent one lonesome
buck.
They're looking for a bale of tripe.
A kiddy-kar or meerschaum pipe.
And round the office they will stick
TILL I get peeved and durn near sick.
But vet have to smile and say
Your package did not come to-day.
And then they draw an ugly sigh
AS if to say II think you lie"
/ spread them one elastic grin
And say twill soon be comm in"
II Mister Hays would come and see
The way some folks are treating me
/ know full we'll that he would sob
And he would let me keep my Job.
He'd say Dear Doc. IL you'll stay here
I'll boost your pay two beans per year"

Flanders Poppies.

The Flanders poppy is beautiful
flower, and beautiful Is the sentiment
war has woven around it. But the
unpoetic fact is that IL is an agricul-
tural pest. Poppies grow in Flan-
ders because Flanders farmers can
not get rid of them. For years they
have been beyond control.
DR.. ARTHUR W. GILBERT, Massachu-
setts Commissioner of Agriculture,
has issued a warning to Bay State
people against the far reaching dan
ger of this gay ornament Of the
French and Flemish countryside. He
quite understands and sympathizes
with the feelings of those who are
bringing from overseas and planting
here poppy seeds near the old homes
of the lost sons, husbands and broth
ers, that the flowers may grow as
beautiful reminders of those under
which their dead sleep In far of
graves in a foreign land.

keenly to heart. None the less he
feels constrained to beg that no more
poppy seeds be imported and planted
in Massachusetts. The flowers repro.
ductive possibilities are prodigious.
Given a fair start, in short time the
harvest fields would be overrun by
them. The American farmer surely
has enough crop enemies to contend
with without importing any new ones,

FRIDAY. JULY Is. 1921.
Miss Hughes Gets in the News.

We congratulate Miss ANNA HUGHES
of Brooklyn on being caught in an
honest act. She found package OF
jewelry in handkerchief sent to
the laundry in which she works. She
turned it in to the manager OF the
laundry. The manager restored it
to it's owner, who until he told her
of her loss did not know the orna-
ments were missing. Miss HUGHES
received a reward from the owner
of the jewelry and another from her
employers. She is probably a little
bit puzzled by the whole proceeding.
though the newspaper reports indi-
cate she will be able to enjoy the
benefits which the conduct natural
to her have brought her.
For it is interesting to observe
that Miss HUGHES turned the jewelry
over to the manager of the laundry
in consequence of an unstudied re-
action of her perfectly honest mind.
She did not have to give time to
consideration of the question, Shall
/ be honest and restore these dia-
monds to their owner, or shah be
dishonest and convert them to my
own use?" Instead her character
dictated her act. She had come into
possession of something which did
not belong to her, and the only thing
for her to do was to see that it started
on it's way back to its owner at the
earliest possible moment.
Miss HUGHES is typical of the great
army of honorable, honest girls-she
is only 17-and women who earn
their own livings, comport them
selves in accordance with their own
sense of self-respect, and are seldom
heard Of, because their virtues keep
them out of the limelight. Occa-
sionally a representative of this fine
body of citizens appears for mo-
ment in public, and when this hap
pens the rest of us have an oppor-
tunity to see how admirable are the
good qualities we take for granted
and how attractive they make their
possessors.

Clipper Ships.
They Were Built for Speed and
Sometimes Outsailed Steamers.

To TILE NEW YORK HERALD: one or
your correspondents inquiries as to the
difference between an ordinary square
rigged ship and clipper snip. me
term clipper refers to the character OF
the hui! rather than to the rig.
Any full rugged ship carries three
masts, main, fore and mizzen mast;
three courses, main, fore and mizzen )
three topsails, three topgallants, sky
sails, studding sails, moonsails. fore
staysail, lib. jib topsail, flying jib.
The bark. barkentine, brig and brigan-
tine are all notifications of the fuli
rigged ship, as is also the hermaphro-
dite brig. Luggers. lateen rigged vessels
and fore and aft vessels are In an
other class.
Now, a clipper ship is simply full
rigged ship designed on clipper lines
and so termed in contradistinction to the
heavier bodied cargo carrying merchant
man. These clipper ships, like the Mar
garet Evans of the Red Cross Line, for
example. were designed for speed. They
were fast and beautiful vessels. built to
carry the mails or to make the long
voyage around the Horn or the Cape
to India or China as fast as 1t could
be made.
Sometimes they outsailed the old side
wheel steamer, and II Is curious spec
ulation TO think Just what would hap
pen IL a large sailing vessel were built
to-day on the lines of one of our mod
ern cup defenders with proportionate
sail area and outside lead keel; whether.
IL the hull and spars would stand the
strain, she would not sail as fast as q
modern steamer. M. WfLcoxsoN.

In One Act.

The London theatre has heretofore
been hospitable to the one act play
There it served a well defined COM
mercial purpose. London goes to the
theatre late If it is to sit in the ex-
pensive seats. But that part of the
audience which used to find shelter in
the pit and the galleries has always
been accustomed to arrive on time.
1t had to be entertained, although 1t
was obviously impracticable to begin
the play when only the cheaper seats
vtr occupied. Fashionable London
lllyers would be humiliated If they
fId to reveal their talents under
Such conditions.
The one .act play therefore came
into existence. The spectator who
wanted the worth Of his money could
arrive early and find diversion await
ing him. Late diners could linger
comfortably at home and yet arrive in
time to see the important part of
the programme. SO the one act play
fiourished. The hest OF those i'm
ported for our use we're from London.
II frequently happened Of course
that they might have been traced
back to Paris. Yet they were Angli-
cized when we got them, and in many
cases their origin had been so OBJ
scured in transition from France to
the United States by way Of London
that only the most careful examina-
tion would reveal It.
For n similar reason Paris cher
ished the one act drama. A part of
the audience enjoyed a long pro-
gramme and came early. There was
always enough demand for this sort
of piece TO encourage the playwrights.
Many notable works of this kind were
produced. The most famous authors
in the French theatre are among the
writer's OF one act dramas.
Now comes the news that the one
act play is no longer customary in
London. Many theatres have abol.
ished the pit. The play of the eve

ence. There has ceased to be any pub
lie for the curtain raiser. The one

Our Dead, Known and Unknown

That the bodies of men who served
the United States in France and who
have died in hospitals under the su-
pervision of the Public Health Ser
vice have been treated with gross
indignity has been established as a
fact. The officials who by their neg
lect of elementary precautions are
responsible for this should be disci
plined. Unless public opinion Is lag
gard where it should be alert they
will be punished. And in the future
rhe respect their honorable service
requires should be paid to the bodies
of these dead.
THE New YORK HERALD believes
this can best be done by establishing
national cemeteries in which the
bodies of men whose kinsfolk can
not care for them may rest. The
national cemeteries already estab-
lished might be utilized for this pur-
pose. Lots in civilian cemeteries
might be bought. The bodies to be
inferred will be comparatively few
in number. In Gods acres dedicated
to their memory the mortal remains
Of these men should lie.
Unless the tribute of dignified and
honorable burial is paid to the bodies
of the men who die in this country
in hospitals under Government super
vision, unless the scandal that has
smirched the reputation Of the Pub
lie Health Service for efficiency here
is ended and those to blame for 1t
are brought to account, the ceremony
of interring an unknown soldier in
the Capitol at Washington or in Ar
lington, for which preparations are
now making, should be abandoned.
In the face of such mistreatment as
the bodies Of the known dead have
undergone here, formalities over the
bones of an unknown hero brought
from France would be nothing more
than hollow theatricalism, unworthy
of a tear from an honest man.

Batters Have Subsided.
Pitchers More Effective Since Hot
Weather Set In.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Whether
or not the ball now used by the major
baseball leagues is livelier than the ball
used in other years, it is noticeable that
since the weather became hot the bat
ters have subsidized somewhat and the
pitchers have become more effective.
Some Of the experts predicted this would
happen and that the public would hear
less about the lively ball after July l.
Within a week or ten days Alexander
the Great, pitching for the Cubs, held
the Giants to one run, scored on an
error, while his opponent, Nehf, blanked
tho Chicagos and held them to three
hits while srnearing on the calcimine.
and Ryan of the Giants two days later
held down John Evers's men to one run,
while Tyler, pitching against the New
York hurler, gave the Giants one earned
run but lost the game because an error
behind him allowed the second and win
ming run to cross the platter. None Of
the four named pitchers seemed to have
been troubled by the bouncing ball. Ac-
cunts say these pitchers never twirled
better ball.
While the Giants were finding II hard
to score on the Cubs pitchers the Yanls
were finding 1t even more difficult to hit
the Chicago White Sox pitchers profita-
bly,. Dickie Kerr held Huggins's men
helpless in the first game of the series,
and though the New Yorks made more
than enough runs to win an ordinary
game in their second effort they never
theless lost because their opponent,
made even more runs. Red Faber then
showed how lively the ball is by CIV
ing the Yanks a few hits In the third
game and beating them thereby.

Labor Costs.
Facts Wanted by q Consumer Who
Thinks Prices Are High.

To THE New York HERALD: The
need of a commission to investigate
the costs of the necessaries OF life in
food and clothing is growing more and
more apparent as raw materials sag in
price while finished goods remain to a
very large extent only shade lower at
retail than peak war prices
Dealers who sell to consumers are
now using as a defence for their prices
the constantly reiterated statement that
labor costs have not diminished. They
say to the puzzled consumer who sees
wheat quoted at S1.16 a bushel while
the loaf Of bread still remains at 13
cents, Labor has not come down" or
when from IL to Ii cents is charged
for a quart of very ordinary milk, while
the farmer is cut from $3.50 a hundred
pounds down to 81 a hundred, or about
cents a quart, "The labor in it keeps
the price up!"
They say to the man who notes that
worsted serges and staple cassimeres
such as his suits are made from have
been cut in the wholesale market from
$3.50 and $500 a yard to $2.12h and
$2.37h, and who is still asked $50 for
suit of clothes which he bought before
the war at $25, "It is the labor ir
them which keeps the price up" They
say to the. women who go into the stores
for a few yards of staple unbleached
cotton and are charged Is cents a
yard for it, when in former days when
the raw cotton was as low as it is to-day
the price was not over cents a yard
"It is on account of high labor that it is
double what it would be IL labor was
less"
So II would seem that what is needed
right now to force prices to fair levels
is a commission of experts to determine
just how much labor there Is in the
price of loaf of bread, In a suit oi
ready made clothing, in a yard of un
bleached cotton, in a yard of staple
check gingham and in yard Of average
quality domestic gingham. A compar
ison of labor costs in the pre-war period
with those of the present time Will be
illuminating to the consumer and vii
set the retailer, who is now accused
rightly or wrongly, of holding the
country in its present state of stagnA-
ytion, in a fair position before the con-
suming public.
Let us know how much of the higf
cost of living of to-day is due to labor
and whether any of 1t is due to unjus
tifiable profits. w. Il. SooFIELD.
