A JOKE ON BILL

From Answers. London
 A eostermonger met his friend the other day. The friend was con vulsed with laughter. and it was some tune before anything could be drawn from him. At last he ex- plained the cause of his merriment
 You would ave larfed I've just been round to see old Bill 'Iggins. Wen I got there, is 'ouse was all alight. FE lives in pretty tall 'ouse. Els on the third floor There e was, a-dancin' about on the win dow sill in is nightshirt. We 'ol- lers up to i'm, Jump, Bill, we've got a tarpaulin to catch yer,
 Hut e 'adnt got the pluck to jump. E runs up to the next floor. We shouts to i'm to jump again, But no. Up e goes, as the flames mount 'igher, until e gets on to the roof. Jump, Bill, we've got tarpaulin to catch yer. we calls again. And c jumps"
 Here the story teller was overcome with laughter for some minutes, but at last he managed to gurgle:
 And the funny part about it vas we 'adn't got no tarpaulin.' M

NO DANGER FROM RUSSIA

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Happily the scientist who alarms as he warns has a foil in the scien- tist who calms the fears and deep ems confidence in the forces organ ized to protect the public health. Dr. Emile LouiX, director of the Pas teur institute in Paris and member of the French Institute and Academy of Medicine, denies that there is even a chance that the epidemics fol- lowing the deadly trail of the Rus sian famine will enter western Eu- rope, much less sweep that territory and cross the Atlantic for a resist less attack upon the United States,
 Dr. Louix points out that pesti- fences and medical science of the twentieth century, are far from the, mysterious scourges that depopulated various regions of Europe and Asia in earlier periods and the meager.- knowledge of that day. Causes are. better understood. in most cases per :. fectly understood. and means of re ~ sisting organized to defeat the most. unexpected development of scourge. The typhus fever and allied condi q tions which mark the path of theS Russian famine cannot escape to raw age western Europe since scientific lookouts have effective barriers at frontier entrance points, making it almost impossible for infected Rus sian to appear in appreciable num- bers. The few who escape froRr Russia will be captured and quaran-s tined.
 The assurance of Dr. Loux is a cheerful change from the croakings' of alarmists some of whom tried to throw New York into a panic ovess a few cases of typhus that developed in immi grants shortly after arriyaL Typhus cannot spread in any en- frightened country. j.

NOT so BLUE

From the Washington Star.
 The blues" that overhung the country, and which may be said to overhang it still, are not as deep
 hued in the south as have been paint ed. according to letter from the way to the New York Commercial. He repudiates the plague and famine storiess He quotes from the Journal of the American Medical society that among the 35,o00, GOO people living in an area of more than 100000 square miles there are less than 10000 cases of pellagra, or one case to every $500 inhabitants. Southern farmers have diversified their crops They have raised one of the great corn crops in the history of their section, and a great number of farms have a surplus of oats, hay, peas, peanuts and sugar cane and an unsual number of hogs and cattle. The price of cotton is looking up, nearly all the cotton mills are operating on full or part time, and the market for textile products shows improvement. Activity is reported in the building trades. Houses are be- ing put up. lumber mills are resum- ing work, brick plants are busy. fur niture factories are going ahead and there is stir in allied industries.

Can People Be Rich

4 * #

61HE domestic troubles of Amer
 U ican millionaires apparently bear out the theories of impecunious philosophers that great wealth is apt to prove more of curse than blessing. The newspapers of this country have been filled with stories of infidelity, incompatibility and other causes which make shipwreck of welded life, and usually it is a case of "too much money" The Mccormick family, social ar biters in Chicago and among the richest people in America, Harry F. Mccormick being head of the Inter- national Harvester company, and Mrs. Mccormick, daughter of John D. Rockefeller, are reported to be the latest addition to the long list of rich families who shave drifted apart.
 There is no taint of scandal in the Mccormick troubles, but they may neveNheless be traced to enormous wealth which makes the simpler things of life tiresome to it's pos sessors. Mrs. Mccormick and her daughter are said to aspire to "careers." Alas, how many homes have been broken up by the lure of the stage and cults which people who have to lead normal lives never have time to fool with

NUTS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 october comes and brings much that is good. It brings brisk days, and it brings color to the woods and to the cheeks of whoever chooses to seek the woods. And it brings the fruition of the nuts.
 If you ask any man in the forties or fifties what is his happiest mem ory of his bucolic boyhood he will, if he thinks right, tell you, of the Oc- tober days when he and his fellows went out to gather nuts. Those were the days of sheer joy; the days of merriment and effort and competi- tion; and the baskets and sacks that came home after the day in the gol- den forest were objects of honest pride. This was one pleasure which was certain of parental appreciation.
 There are five kinds of nuts which. in this region of natures generosity. merit consideration. Ranked in the generally accepted order of desira- bility they are chestnuts, hickory nuts, walnuts, butternuts and beech- nuts. Beechnuts are good, but too little; and-they are not gathered. But ternuts fill your sack i'll no time, but it is hard to get at the oily morsel hidden deeply within the defiant shuck and shell. Walnuts may be consid- cred the aristocratic cousins of the plebeian butternuts; they are good, and very easy to gather; but the wal nut trees are few and becoming fewer. Hickorynuts are everybody's delight. It would be hard to find anyone who does not relish them. But they, too require a little labor before their edible part is attainable.
 Unquestionably the chestnut is the most popular nut we have. Once the spiny bur is opened We have our feast spread temptingiy. There is no labor involved in eating chestnut. The only labor is the labor in gathering them. and this as noted. is anybody's willing labor of love. The. chestnut flavor may not have the universal appeal of the hickorynut, put it can, if necessary. be moderately improved by roasting. This business of roast ing gives the chestnut double ap- peal It. has two flavors instead of one, and both are good.
 If 1t is your doom to live in the city and you have boy with spirit of October in him shoo him out to the woods with a sack and tell him to bring home all the nuts he does not care to eat. Thus you will give him a taste of what October really means, and little of the brightness of the lucky boyhood you yourself enjoyed down in the wood tract beyond the pasture. M sF

Galveston a Great Port
 and An Attractive City

7T1HE Galveston News publishes
 ll in it's annual trade edition a comprehensive survey of Galveston and Texas, devoting particular at tention to the advantages of city which has risen from a great dis aster and become one of the busiest and most attractive municipalities in America.
 As a summer and winter resort, as a port that moved during the past year exports to A countries, valued at more than $550,000,000 and as center of culture Galveston may justly feel proud of the emi- hence it enjoys.
 Imports were valued at more than $26,000,000. Cotton receipts were 3,144,361 bales. The total number of bales exported was 2,S79,19S, worth $324,229,556. In addition to this enormous shipment of cotton, Gal weston loaded for shipment 86,822,- 162 bushels of wheat, leading all ports in the export of cotton and wheat. The coastwise trade amount ed to 2,1s2,46S tons, requiring the services of hundreds of ships.
 Galveston is not only one of the worlds greatest export cities. but is the playground of the southwest" ]" having mean temperature the year round of 69.7. The indomitable will power which enabled Galveston to recover from storm which was one of the greatest disasters in the his tory of the country is revealed in this modern metropolis, safeguarded from the ocean for all time by a sea wall which is marvel of engineer ing.

Clemenceau Finds
 Retirement Irksome

N MORE TARDIEU attributes GA Clemenceau's re-entry into French politics to patriotic motives.
 When Clemenceau had guided France through the World war. he was repudiated and it was believed that his retirement was permanent, but at 80 years of age the "Tiger" yearns once more for the stress of public life. He may sincerely desire to prevent France from losing what he conceives to be the fruits of vic- tory, but the habit of power is strong, particularly in man of his type. It is not unlikely that having been a politician and a world fig ure so long, he finds it irksome to remain away from the scene of many trjumphs and hard-fought battles, in which he neither asked nor gave quarter.
 Clemenceau is still vigorous phys ically and mentally alert. At time of life when most men are in their dotage, he plans to reopen a career whose past achievements would satisfy half dozen ordinary states men.

Moissaye J. Olgin, in the Century
 Magazine.
 The cultural advance of the Russian masses since the revolution is colos- sal The number of schools libraries, courses, colleges, lectures, excursions has rapidly grown. The number of new people attracted to use cultural institutions is enormous. The work of abolishing illiteracy is progress ing. The streams of new thought, en- lightenment political understanding, have changed the physognomy of the masses. This is only natural after the awakening from the nightmare of czardom, and can hardly be attrib- uted to the october revolution. What is the specific work of this revolution is participation of the common worke and common peasant in the manage ment of the national affairs A new man, most active, most enthusiastic most self confident, is coming from below. A structure is being erected
 
 finished in the rough. It has no win dow panes, and it's roof leaks. It does not shelter from storms. It is un- comfortable to live in. But multitudes realize that this is their only home Multitudes are busily engaged n improving every part. Hosts are see- ing the vision of magnificent build ing in the midst of peaceful land scape. The building harbors har- mony, creative work and beauty. Thus stands the balance sheet of the Russian revolution in the first week of August. 1921. when this has been written. No one can predict what concessions and compromises may be made as result of the human suf- fering caused by famine. As in the past, a thousand colored and conflict ing reports will fill our newspapers. As students we must keep in mind the facts of the past and reserve judgment until the facts of the fu- ture reach us.

JAPAN'S PLACE IN THE PACIFIC

German islands in the Pacific north of the equator, she has fared thou- sands of miles eastward into the Pa cific.
 The magnitude of Japan's present interests in the Pacific can better bs understood, peFhaps, by imagining her island territories transferred l@ the more familiar Atlantic and the directions reversed, The varioui groups of Japanese islands woulA then extend from the Shetland islands southward along the coasts of Eu. rope and Africa for 2,700 miles Fof- mosa would be situated just north of the Cape Verde Islands. The Ma rianne or Ladrone Islands of ths mandate would occupy position near the Azores; and the hundreds of islands of the Caroline and Mar shall groups (the remaining man late islands) would string out across the Atlantic from near the Cape Verdes almost to Cuba. Honolulu, under this transposed geography, would occupy
  Mexico.
 "As direct outlets for emigration Japan's mandate islands, because of their restricted area, are ofilittle inn portance. But as bases to facilitate naval operation and trading activi- ties to the south and east they are comparable in importance to Hawaii as bases for the westward activities of the United States. And Japan means to make the islands pay for their keeps She is stimulating the systematic planting of coconut groves, and her traders are fast re- placing foreign goods in the islands with those of Japan. The islands add only few thousand miles of terri tory and some 5000 people to the Japanese empire. But the scattered points of land fence in approxi- mately 1,oOO,oo0 square miles of the Pacific"

is estimated to have more than 4,o00,000 reservists, Italy 4,627, ,0OO and Japan nearly 100000. Compul- sory military service has made sol diers of large percentage of Eu- ropes able-bodied men.
 In contrast to these vast fighting units, the American army seems a mere handful and except for the national guard, we have no organ ized reserves to support the army, although our experiences in the World war demonstrated quite con clusively that when necessity urges We can equip and train millions of men in a short time.
 The relative strength of the American army and Europe's armed forces should remove any suspicion that we are q militaristic country, although it must be acknowledged in justice to the European and Asiatic nations that conditions there at present make the maintenance of large armies imperative, whereas America has no need for a great mill itary organization.
 With more than six million men under arms in the world it is evil dent that the apostles of peace have a hard task before them if they hope to bring about new order of things which will do away with great armies as well as great navies.

A MARKED REsEMnLANcE

From the Kansas City Star.
 "Oh, doctor" said the farm matron, T am terribly worried about my lsls- bands condition. He finds fault with everything on the place. It is almost impossible to get him up in the morn- ing. He has an enormous appetite, but complains continually about the food. He seems to have his usual strength, but it is hard to get him to do any work. Why, he acts as much like hired man as he does like a husband."

World Dreams of Peace

N CCORDING to figures obtained IH5A in Washington, 6,000,000 men are now under arms in 14 of the principle nations. These are the fig lures which the disarmament con- ference will be expected to consider when it meets to discuss what is the greatest of all problems before man. kind.
 It is somewhat surprising to learn that China had on last September l,370,000 active troops, but that un-
 fortunate country has had civil war 10 contend with and there are even
 now two governments, neither of
 which recognizes the authority of
 he other. The strength of the
 Trench army is placed at 1,304, ,000

 The British empire is said to have A0 ,0b0 men under arms. The United Hates is thirteenth in the list of purteen nations, having 10000 egular troops. Italy has 350,000 Ind Japan 300,000.

WHITTIER AND SEPTEMBER

From the Chicago Evening Post.
 We wonder if Whittier looked up the weather reports when he was writing the story of Barbara Fritchie Clear in the cool September morn" It may have been cool in Maryland on that september day of a year gone by, but if so the weather man forced the village of Frederick to become unseasonably benignant. September may be cool, but summer trudges through the month for 21 days and more than occasionally trudges with fevered feet.
 It is in this month that we find summer and autumn as field com panions. August flowers still give color to the meadows and groadsides, while with them in unselfish rivalry are the flowers that are autumn's. It is the month that the migratory birds begin to feel the journeying impulse and some of the less hardy ones start southward in fear of early frost.
 September Is supposed to tumble the fruits of the earth into the lap of need, and always it does it unless May frost has nipped it's opportunity to play the part of Lady Bountiful This year in many parts of the land May undid September. We hear stories of apple trees bare of fruit and of grape vines clusterless be- cause of graceless spring.

BACK ITO GOOD MANNERS

From the New York World.
 The department of state has at last found it possible, without doing vio- lence to it's conscience, to observe the ordinary rules of courtesy toward the League of Nations. Ever since the Harding administration assumed of flee it had made it a practice, for reasons best known to itself, to iS- nore all communications received from Geneva. For months it left them unanswered Whether this was done in pursuit of some higher policy into which the average American cannot hope to penetrate or from sheer petty spitefulness, it came to the same thing and showed very bad manners in high official quarters at Washington
 Having finally decided to recognize the conventional duty of acknowl- edging the receipt of formal com munications even from the League of Nations, the state department has returned to precedent by which it is to be hoped it will be guided in the future
 Secretary Hughes presumably keeps himself informed about the business of the state department. It hardly seems probable that he should fear that the United States would be trapped into forming entangling al- 1,,, l l.. Co ministration's resolution to maintain Q position of isolation from European affairs because he signed polite note in reply to the leagues secre- tariat. There must be other reasons for the obvious rudeness of the state department. What they are remains another of the inner secrets of ad- ministration statesmanship in it's newest manifestations.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
MOTION PICTURE CENSORSHIP

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 In the issue of Monday, October 3 you quote local minister as saying on the subject of censorship of mo. tion pictures:
 Everybody knows the crying need of censorship until someAing better can be had. 1t is os wrong to poison persons mind as his body. Every argument for a pure food law or a pure drug law is an argument for a clean show"
 Since the subject discussed was cen sorship. it is to b epresunned that the phrase flor clean show in the last sentence really means for cen sorship. 1t is to be presumed that know of for the really indecent show certainly none advanced by the men operating the theatres.
 Tainted meat is determinable quality. The laboratory test shows whether or not meat is clean" with in the definite meaning of the law. The human equation does not enter; there is no play of bias, opinion or emotionalism. And the effect of tainted meat upon those eating it is likewise well known. And so with milk.
 But what is an unclean picture He can't mean indecent, obscene or sacrilegious. for those are now amply prohibited by law. There Isn't an . "unc1ean" picture. nor one that will >"poison mems minds" in the same sense that there is unclean milk or tainted meat. It is purely G matter of opinion. when you pass the point now definitely covered by law.
 Whose opinion? There is no diff ference among inspectors of meat re- gardig what is unclean. But there is and always will be Among any per sons presuming to censor books, plays, pictures or speeches. And there is the big difference between pure food laws and pure thought laws"
 That there is such q difference of opinion is shown by a few compari- sons in the rulings of the censors in the four states which have decreed that there are three people who should determine what the citizens of the states should and should not sec.
 Pennsylvania barred "The Woman in the Suit Case" "Mary's Ankle Dangerous Days and The Palliser Case" Ohio passed them without changes. Someone is necessarily wrong.
 Kansas would not permit The Birth of a Nation." Ohio passed it two years after it was first submitted though the picture hadn't changed in the meanwhile. Pennsylvania passed it immediately.
 Pennsylvania barred "The Miracle Man" Most ministers praised it; one in Birmingham recently showed it as part of his services.
 There are three cases; fifty could be had" In view of his attitude to- meat, cannot be passed upon with as- surance, when they have conformed to general ideas of decency.
 It would be interesting to know what Is meant by the minister's phrase. until something better can be had In view of his attitude to- ward pictures could this mean ..'until we can prohibit them altogether?
