Why the Election Result?

DIR. Irving Fisher professor of political economy
OF Yale, has analyzed the Republican and Demo-
cratic vote of 1920. He has done this in the ap-
proved statistical fashion, which is all the easier
because there so little OF the Democratic vote
to analyze.
He discovered several facts which pretty much
everyone knew, that his Investigations are but
combinations. One of these is the decided defec-
ton of the Irish vote which is normally Democratic.
Another is the unanmity OF the German vote for
Mr.. Harding.
As to the womens VOTE he finds that in eight
States these showed increase, while in other
States the increase over 1916 was as high as Is
per cent In the latter, he gives prohibition part
OF the credit, as has almost everyone else
What is more interesting is tabulation of
the relative vote of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties by percentages since !hc Lincoln
Mcclellan election in 1864. The swing has been,
Tor the Democrats, from IS per to 50 per cent
in 1880, 81, and 88; and 81 per cent in 1892 when
Cleveland won against Harrison, with So per cent,
also, in 1876 when Tilden was Counted out"
The drop following 1892 was to 40 per cent in
1904 when Mr.. Roosevelt was elected up to 81
per cent in 1916; and down TO the low ebb of 36
per cent last November. During the Sc years the
greatest normal swing was 6. and per cent
at three elections, but the usual was from to 3
per cent while the average was as until last year.
when it went to IS per cent.
However, in 1924 there is quite to be re-
turn to normalcy. The foreign born will not get
what they want for their former lands They will
be disappointed again and probably will show
their weight once more in the scales of punishment

ASSERTS sANDA COURT Is A
FIRE-TRAP.

To the Editor, The wsshingtos Herald:
Short time ago a fire in the Cons
merce Building caused damage es-
timated at about $1,000 900. The
public in general condemned tho
government for housing valuable
records in q fre-trap. The loss
caused by that FIRE is only a drop
in the bucket compared to what
the loss will amount to when a
short circuit. or a cigarette butt
dropped in n waste paper basket,
occurs in Sanda Court-State, War
and Navy Building.
Sanda Court is a four-story. framd
fire-trap built in the north court-
yard OF the building.
A number Of United States Sena-
tors and Representatives have tried
to have Sanda Court removed. az tt
was only built for the war emer-
gency. but the powers that were in
charge said no; so the wishes OF
the United States Senators and Kep-
resentatives were entirely ignored

Another similar and more danger
Gus hre-trap, called the Archie Butt

the south end. The Emergency Hos

And to Tight a hre in Sanda Court

are only two narrow court entrance

Maryland and southeastern Penn
sylvania form what is known as the
Piedmont Plateau and what has
happened TO them during the ages
since their formation was outlined
at the meeting of the Geological
Society. held last night at the Co.'S
mos Club, by A. /. Jonas and +. F.
Bliss Knopf, of the Geological
Survey.
Many large cities - among them
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington-are located at the
junction of the Piedmont Plateau
and the low-lying coastal plain that
slopes eastward TO the Atlantic
Ocean, they said. The rocks Of the
Piedmont Plateau extend southwest
ward in a direction roughly paral-
lei to the coast line and comprise
highly crystalline series of gneiss-
es. schists. marbles and .QuartziteS,
intruded by GRANTEES and gabbros.
Oldest Rocks Of Region.
The present state of knowledge
indicates that the oldest rock of
the region is the pre-Cambrian Bal
timore gneiss, and that it is over
lain by a lower Cambrian series
composed OF the settlers formation,
the Cockeysville marble and the
Wissahickon and Peters Creek
formations" they said. These rocks
have been folded into complex
system of parallel synclines and
anticlines from which the crowns
have been removed by surface 60
sion. This southeastern part OF The
Piedmont Plateau in Pennsylvania
and Maryland may be described as
a segment of the earth character
lied by domatic uplifts of lower
Cambrian and pre-Cambrian rocks.
This segment has been thrust to
the northwest over an Ordovician
Camargo schist. The fault along
which this southern segment was
thrust has been traced $50 miles
from Trenton, N. j., across Penn
sylvania to Carroll County, Md"
Tentative correlations have been
made of these metamorphosed rocks
with the less-altered fossil-bearing
sandstones and limestones of the
Lancaster basin of Pennsylvania, II

German diplomacy has been sus-
pected Of planning to profit by an
opportunity to open a breach be-
tween Great Britain and France in
reaching a decision on the repara-
tions question. II it ever harbored
that intention it has signally failed
at London. for DR.. Simons' pro-
posals have brought the two allied
governments into complete accord.
They declare their purpose to i'm
pose their own terms on Germany
and threaten to employ armed force
and occupy territory. Up TO the
time the German delegates revealed
their position France stood virtu-
ally alone in this policy. with the
half-hearted assent of Belgium.
Premier Lloyd George now feels it
safe to commit Great Britain to a
pledge TO share in a military move
against Germany unless it shifts
its ground.

TOOTH CAVITY
PREPARATION EXPLAINED.

Decayed teeth and how to prepare
their cavities for filling were de-
scribed by DR.. IL. 2. Cobey at the
meeting of the District of Columbia
Dental Society, held at the George
Washington University Medical
Building Tuesday evening.
To those who dread their visits
to the dentist his advice that the
excavations of the diseased portion
OF the teeth be larger than the ac-
tually visible decayed places will
not hold much immediate comfort.
but he explained that this was to
prevent recurrence of the decay.
Advice that the burr or boring tool
be used less should interest the lay
man. however.
of1en the dentist by careful FILL
ing cah even improve on nature and
make the tooth better than before"
pr. Cobey said. The approved mod
ern methods of DR.. Black, which
nave become standard for the treat
ment Of dental carries, were recon-
mended. In the last five years the
technic and methods of cavity prep
aratiop have advanced greatly. he

TREES CAN BE IDENTIFIED
EVEN IN DEAD OF WINTER.

Trees do not have to be In the

be recognized and enjoyed, DR.. A.
S. Hitchcock OF the Smithsonian In
stitution told the Wild Flower
Preservation Society at its popular
plant lecture held at the Wilson
Normal School Community Center
last night.
by means Of their twigs. buds
and bark trees can be identified and
studied in the dead of winter" he
declared.
Twigs Characteristic.
The twig is the woody growth
produced during the Immediately
preceding season and older parts
are called branchlets or branches,
he said. Twigs usually lengthen
Immediately after the appearance Of
the foliage in the spring and ceases
growth usually in June.
The characters to be noted in dis
tinguishing. trees by the twigs are
the pith. the young bark. the lem
ticels, the buds. the leaf scars, the
stipule scars and occasionally 9TH
ers, such as thorns or spines, he ex-
planned. The pith is the soft core
of the twig, which may vary in
color. The surface of the twig, or
the epidermis of the bark, varies in
color and may be smooth or COW
cred with hairs or prickles. The
lenticels are the little roughened
places on the epidermis that appear
in many twigs. The buds are the
undeveloped shoots that normally
grow out in the following spring,
and occur at the end Of the twig
and in the angle between the leaf
and the stem.
Buds Explained.
'For protection against drying out
the buds are covered by bud scales.
and IL one opens a hickory or cot
tonwood bud there will be found be-
meath numerous bud scales very
small lundeveloped leaves Of the
coming shoot" DR.. Hitchcock said.
when the bud opens in the
spring the scales fall away and
leave several circular marks on the
twig which show the beginning OF
the years growth. The buds are
usually single. but sometimes, as
in the case of the hickory and the
honey locust. there are several.
Some trees have a terminal bud. but
in others the end of the stem with
ers up and falls away, leaving q
small scar. This Is true. of the
