ENOUGH OF WAR WORK"

All over this country you will find traces of sloppy. careless, stupid, awk- ward, "I-don't-care'' work. God knows there were plenty of bunglers before the war began; but they were in the minority. Today the man who does his work with a conscience; the man who feels as personally responsi- ble for the stuff that passes through his hands as if he were going to use it himself stands out like a beacon light on a hill.
 Today the man who does care; the man who can throw off the disease that is upon the whole world is the man with stamina and character who can face his Maker with a steady eye
 The world has got to have more of him and pretty quick, too. There is no work, house-work, shop work office work, field work, that doesn't need doing a great deal better than it has been done.
 The reward for War Work" that child of laziness and indifference, is starvation, revolution, fire, and mur- der, and every person who is doing that kind of work today is contribut- ing to the terrible hell-on-earth that is preparing to rescend before long It won't be a fire-and-brimstone hell after death; but it will be a fire-and- er-and-slaughter hell before death that will make death seem like a vacaion-unless we renounce War Work
 We claim to be thinking beings; we let on that we are superior to the animals; we are supposed to be civil Ned. If beginning very soon, some thing doesn't start at both ends of the line, with the presidents of the big corporations and the newest ap- prentices of the same corporations; and if these people up and down that line don't begin to put honesty, sin- cerity, decency, intelligence, and civ flizatipn into their work, there will be so little work left that no one will need bother to do it.-Ralph BaStow, in Forbes Magazine CN. Y.).

THE POSSJRHITTE OF

(Hartford Courant)


 A dispatch in 9 recent issue of the Kansas City Star'' asserts that the librarian at the Kansas Wesleyan University has received from a grad uate. corn and beans that were taken from the ruins of Mesa Verde where scientists say they have been for 300 years at least They are in a perfect state of preservation and the librarian has planted some of both and has faith that they will ger minate.
 This is where we part company with the librarian, not having suf- ficient faith to go with him further. It is about two years ago. as we re- call it, that some one at Arizona's state college came in possession of prehistoric beans found under like conditions and he planted them and expected them to sprout. That, we repeat, was two years ago and not a line have we seen since which has indicated that those beans germin- ated- They should have been har- vested and a second or third crop should be coming on by this time but we have heard nothing to that effect We decline to get excited over this news from Salina, Kan

SOVIET RUSSIA MAKES FRIENDS
 IN NEAR EAST

Riga, I,atvia, June z4-Recent ar rivals from Moscow declare that the world little realizes how closely So- viet Russia is pushing it's friendship with the Near East.
 In Moscow now the Turkish 1ega- tion occupies one of the most sump- tuous of the old palaces anu the per- sonnel, garbed in faultless European clothes. present a strange contrast to the poorly garbed Muscovites. The Afghans and other Near Eastern del egations also occupy luxurious quar- ters, give elaborate banquets and oth- erwise carry on with all the pOmp of the old Eastern courts.
 Members of Lenine's government are frequently guests at these affairs and entertain the legation personnels equally 1avishly in return.
 Besides this, Lenine has so accom-. modated himself to the psychology of the East that he now exchanges Persia, etc., as did the rulers of an cient days.
 A Moscow dispatch today reads like a paragraph from what might heirog1yphics describing the visit of a Babytonian envoy to King Cyrus of Persia. It says: "The representa- tive of the Soviet government has made his first official visit to the Shah of Persia, presenting to the Shah on a golden salver an album with photographs of Soviet leaders of the whole of Russia IS a personal present to the Shah from Lenine."
 A man who recently arrived from Moscow said: tFew persons realize what a close connection now exists between Russia and it's old enemy. Turkey, and for that matter all of the Near East. Ienine is accom- p1ishing here what the old Russian government could not do by playing up to Eastern psychology
 ""The so-cal1ed BoIshevism in theSr Eastern countries is nothing at ali like the Bolshevism of Moscow, but in each case the Russian agitators have a distinct brand of propaganda designed to Cfovetail with ancient cus- toms of the country in question. For instance in regions where the trade in bazaars is a century old custom. no agitation against free trade has been made"

A NATION OF HOME OWNERS
CFrom the Marion (O.) Star)

(From the Marion (O.) Star).
 Preliminary census returns show that 6,OOO,O0O American families own their homes There are more home owners in the United States than in any other country.
 Here we find the reason for the inability of Bolshevik agitators to and for the general deteStation in which Communist doctrines are held. The man who owns lis home, or hopes or expects to own one, does not take kindly to dangerous exper- iments in government and economics. He is not willing to take the risk of losing his property.
 It would be ideal if every family could own it's dwelling. The crowd ing of people into tenements or apart ments, at the expense of health and sanitation, would then cease to be a civic problem and there would be no profiteering by landlords
 The owning of homes makes for good citizenship. He who holds ti- tie to the property on which he re- sides takes more interest in the bet torment of the community than the one who lives in a rented dwelling. The former is anchored, while the tenant-is periodically confronted with the possibility of having to move In every way possible - encouragement should be given those who suffer from the housing shortage to build their own homes It would be a happy state of affairs if the great majority of the new houses should be erected by persons who proposed to live in them rather than by those who intended to offer them for rent

VACATIONS HAVE MANY RISKS

(From the New York Times).
 Perhaps the gravest of hot-weather mistakes are those made by the peo- pie who go for short vacations ID the country. Not only do they often work too hard at the task of having a good time, but the work consists in doing things for which urban life is the worst of preparation. The re- suit is that the vacationist, .>even though he escapes the typhoid that turks in 'the old oaken bucket" " comes home more tired than when he went away, and 1t takes him more than two weeks to make up the losses course of unaccustomed and over-vi- olent activities.
 The benefits of the much-praised complete change" are always dubi- ous except when the change consists in the substitution of good or better habits of life for bad ones, and the breathing of pure air instead of that which is vitiated. And until the problem of indoor ventilation is solv- ed, there is not much chance of getting pure air anywhere except out in the open. Shut a savage up in our houses of offices and he pines in a. week, withers in a month, and dies in less than a year. Civilization de- velops the power to stand bad air. but that is far from proving it best for anYbO6Y.

NO CHANGE TO START.
(From the Evening World) .

If TOLl 1Ile
 If any part of the country needs a lesson in efficient police work, it can get it from the way New York handled the landing of Admiral Sims
 The flying visit of the navy man in this city contained elements of ser ious- trouble. If the pro-Sims and anti-Sims factions had mixed, riot would have been almost inevitable.
 New York foresaw the danger. The police were out in force and the fight which might have grown into a riot did not have a chance to start.
 The South with it's negro question and other localities where labor trou- bles occur should learn from New York's example that the best time to stop a fight is before it begins.

Colorado Shrub Said
 To Contain Rubber

Alamosa, Colo, June 21-San Luis Valley residents are keenly interested in reports reaching here that crude rubber is contained in an indigenous shrub that grows quite promiscuo ously in this region, known as rabbit brush.''
 E. c. MCarty, professor of botany, at the Clorado Agricultural college. in Fort Collins, is expected here soon to gather several hundred pounds of the shrub to ship to Eastern rubber companies for further experimental purposes
 That the shrub has a large percen tage of crude rubber has already been established, according to Professor McCarty. who says that after extri- eating consid derable of this material from the shrub, he sent it to a big rubber company for tests. Chemical analysis disclosed, according to Pro lessor McCarty, that the rubber in the shrub was of a high grade and that it vulcanized readily
 Professor McCarty declared in letter to the local Chamber of Com merce that experiments will be con tinued at the Agricultural College to determine whether the rubber-bear- ing shrubs can be transplanted and improved

DENBY GIVES SIMS PUBLIC
 REPRIMAND
rAs Hseisr. E.-ss.s.- sy.es...

Washington, June 25-Secr etary of the Navy Denby late yesterday pub lciy reprimanded Admiral William s. Sims for his so-caIled "jackass speech" Before doing so the ad- mira1 submitted a written report in which he said he did not say what he was quoted as saying in the press reports. Nevertheless what he did say by his own admission was regard ed by the authorities as a fragrant breach of the proprieties and the reprlmand is regarded as one of the strongest ever administered to a high naval officer.
 The reprimand will be published today on board every vessel in the navy in accordance with the provi- slon of the law. Following his repri- mand the admiral said "he got what was coming to him." and admitted that '.he split the beans'' and ex- pressed sorrow that ''he had caused the administration any inconven- lence. His final words were "that he did not know it was loaded as much at it was'
 Following the tradition of the navy the admiral called at the White House and spent fivem inutes with the Preside ent.
