DAMAGE SUIT SHOWS
 FLUKE ON LEWIS GUN

CRy International News Service)
 LONDON, Aug. 30-How the Lewis machinegun. which was one of the most effective man-killers used by the allies in the Great war, was turned down" by nearly every great power before the war was brought out in court proceedings here.
 The company that supplied the ma chiueguns to the British army is suing to recover $15,OOO.00O from the Brit ish government. It was testified that Colonel Lewis. the American who in vented the gun, first offered it to the American government. but the offer was rejected. Subsequently Germany, Austria. Russia, France and Italy, through their military experts, decided that Colonel Lewis was all wroug.
 The British government finally bought three Lewis guns for q test. On August 1, 1914, just before the out break of the war, the British war of flee went in for bust" as a witness declared and purchased five. From that time until the end of the war thousands were put into action.

Goldfish In Ohio River.

Many tons of goldfish were caught In the fishing grounds of the Portage river at Port Clinton, O.. recently. Ac. cording to some of the fishermen. the first scattering of the fish was fouuG in 1913 after the big floods of Ohio and the lake regions, and 1t was thought at that time that the fish may have been liberated from some of the park and resort aquariums, by the overtlowing of the flooded artificial ponds.
 The fish are not of the glass bowl variety, but seem to be more of carp species, and will measure several Inches and weigh as much as a halt, pound each. They are placed in cars and brought here to be loaded into ex press cars and shipped in tanks, alive 70 the New York markets, where they are sold to the retail and wholesale trade.

PANTS" PROVED HIM HONEST
Their Prayed Condition Convinced Tailor That Man Who Wore
 Them Must Be Straight.

If pays 10 advertise ones poverty certain statesman thinks.
 tailor in the last campaign was quite convinced In his own mind that the statesman was a most unworthy and absolutely unfit man for public position, as a result of the campaign conducted against him.
 About ten days before the election one of the bell boys of Washington club brought to this particular tailor by mere chance--a pair of trousers belonging to the statesman. to be pressed. IL was a hurry-up job, be ing the only pair that the statesman had at tie time. The tailor started pressing them and to his amazement discovered that the trousers were badly frayed at the edges and worn and showed other evidence that the owner was apparently not spending his money for elegance in clothes, whereupon he announced he was for him.
 T am with him from this day for ward" he said. Any statesman who Is forced to wear clothes for so long a time as these have been worn Is surely square and upright man and I am for him to the limit"

Can you read your laundry mark? T Philip Terry, author of "Terry's Guide to Japan," tells the following joke on himself-a joke which emphasized the advisability of keeping on good terms with ones Chinese laundryman. The Chink in Mir Terry's home town was inclined to be surly; so one day the guide book writer lectured him on the subject of courtesy. and urged him 10 adopt civility as a habit The admo- hilton palpably displeased the celes- tial, but he said nothing. Later Mfr. Terry. who lived several years In Chi na and knows something of the lan- guage, was surprised to find his shirts and collars marked with the Cantonese hieroglyph slgnifying ''upstart jack ass"

A Marketing Puzzle.

In good times growers of fruits and
vegetables in Washington, Oregon and
California market their enormous
crops through their own organizations
at satisfactory prices without Federal
aid, while producers of similar prod
ucts In many other States claim that
without Federal aid their products
"rot upon the ground"
The 1922 agricultural bill carries
an item OF $39O,16O, one of a numDer
of similar items, to give such aid to
Good producers as daily telegraphic
produce market reports will afford /;
but the service extends only as far
west as Kansas City. Efforts made
in the House to increase this item
to S75O,0O0 for more extended service
we're defeated only after wordy
struggle, which developed again the
fact, to which this newspaper has
often called attention, that the Pacific
coast States, furthest Of all the great
food producing States from the chief
markets, profitably market their agri-
cultural products through organiza-
tions maintained by the producers.
If the energy which some farmers
devote to efforts to obtain rl5erai aid
in their business we're devoted to self
aid It would accomplish much in the
way Of profitable marketing.

Of logarfthms, IL means Of figuring
we're also supplied, might be the most
desirable thing.
Mr.. CHEsTERToN's rejection or the
problem novel and the detective story
is undoubtedly sound. Who could
bear eternal iteration OF morbid psy-
chology or the mystery no longer mys-
terious? In fact If a human mind
were to be reduced to single book
for years the best selection probably
that could be made would be a good
encyclopaedia, or, falling that, mod
ern dictionary.
This Is an unsentimental suggestion,
perhaps, but the more 1t is thought
over the better it win seem. As to
the controversy itself which Mr..
CHEsTERToN renews in hts own stimu-
lating way, it is not by any means
Improbable. 1t creates at least In
terest in books and reflection as to
their meaning and value. There is
no better way to promote love OF
books. And love Of books is always
worth while.

The Presidents Proper Refusal.

President WILSON does well to in
form the railway disputants that they
must go to the authority provided by
law to iron out their differences.
Either the machinery set up by the
new railroad act for the safeguarding
Of the rights and interests of the car
riers, their labor and the public will
work or It will not work. If 1t will,
so much the better for everybody. If
1t will not, then it needs to be junked.
But the only way to find out what it
can do or can't do Is to give 1t a
chance along the very lines it was
created and is intended to follow.
In any event, all creation cannot
be running with its quarrels and re
ordinations every few minutes to
the Chief Executive and the Congress
of the United States and leave the
Government of the nation the time or
the strength to attend to its proper
business

Reckless Drivers.
Practices Which Cause Many Acct
dents i'm the Streets.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t seems
strange that the Police Department In
its efforts to reduce the number of au-
tomobile accidents In this city does not
give more attention to the drivers who
swing around corners from side streets
into the avenues at fifteen or eighteen
miles an hour or shoot across the ave-
nues regardless of traffic rules, condi-
tion Of the pavement or the amount OF
travel.
One OF the avenues where the drivers
Of automobiles and horses persist in
this practice is Park avenue. which for
that reason Is one of the most dan
gerous In the city; another is West End
avenue.
] have understood the traffic rules to
give to north and south bound traffic
the right of way over east and west
bound traffic. or cars turning into the
avenue. but the majority seem to think
the first there has the right of way. |
have seen many accidents and every one
was caused by Just the practice I have
spoken Of Whether It comes from care
lessness or ignorance. a little education
would be of great benefit to all
Another bad habit OF some drivers is
to wait until they reach the point where
they want to turn, then stick out their
hand and turn the wheel at the same
time. The car behind has not a chance,
and If an accident is avoided it is by
pure luck.
The speeder may be bad, but there are
worse things. A. S. A.

It's the Policeman's Way.
A Small Citizen Passes in Safety
Across q Busy Street.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Contrary
to the fixed belief of some persons, po-
iicemen are pretty human after all. This
fact was clearly illustrated to a number
of busy New Workers at the noon hour
to-day.
Traffic Policeman Noonan, who is sta
toned at Twenty-third street and Sew
enth avenue. was busy directing the
heavy traffic when he was hailed in a
very peremptory tone by wee, piping
voice.
Glancing In the direction of the sound
he saw little chap of six or seven
years, who was demanding that he be
escorted across the street His cries
OF "Hey, copr' were causing consider
able amusement to the people on the
sidewalk.
Stopping the traffic and with humor-
GUS grin Noonan walked over to the
youngster and. taking his hand, escorted
him to the opposite sidewalk, where
with smiling Thanks" the lad sped
on his way. 1t was apparent to all who
witnessed this scene that this miniature
citizen took 1t for granted that the guar
dams of the law were his to command
and that he had been in the habit Of so
commanding and receiving attention.
