Some time oga section "a Of the |
Jones Merchant Marine Law came to
public notice by the refusal Of that
Anglophile President, Mr.. Wilson, to
enforce 1t by the abrogation of certain
clauses in our commercial treaties.
That section did no more than to au-
thorize the President to give due no.
tice of our intention to terminate
clauses whic Unrestricted the right Of
the United States to impose descrim-
mating customs duties on imports en-
tering in American vessels-a purely
domestic piece of legislation which
Mr.. Wilson refused to carry out. I'm
mediately Mr.. Wilson was backed up
by every foreign nation which boosted
shipping, and by all the International
lists with which the body polite Is In
tested. Have any Of those gentlemen
protested at the action Of the British
cotton spinners and manufactures?
Not at all. Anything that Is done In
good old England Is quite the proper
thing, but If we do anything to pro-
tect our interests through legislation
openly and decently secured these In
ternationalists call US hard names.
"If the United States should cut of
Britain's cotton supply as retaili-
tory measure for this boycott Of Amer
lean shipping, there would be sucn q
paralysis In the British cotton indus

Civil War. And il this latest game Of
British business is persisted in, retail

New York The worlds greatest
open-air skating rink is open again.
The Park Commissioners and the
Mayor and the rest of the people who
decide the use Of New Yorks air and
space have at last agreed to open the
huge Mall in Central Park to the roll
er skaters. Two thousand skaters can
roll at one time across the place. 1t
Is one-third of mile long and fairly
wide, and the echoes of the skates
reach far up the park these nights.
Gotham has deserted Newport. At
least that part of this city which made
Newport the fashionable gathering
place that it was, has deserted it, Only
a few seasons ago, the very word
Newport" meant New York Society
and the desirable people from over
seas were their guests. This summer
nearly fifty Of the most pretentious
villas will be closed - deserted for
Europe, for the mountains, for Long
Islands, and even for quiet homes in
the Berkshires. The Cornelius Wander
bilt home, the Odgen Goelet place, and
the villas of the three Belmonts -
August, Perry and Mrs. Oliver are
among the mansions to be empty.
No one could convince Avid Tall
mach that New Workers are anything
but honest. He KNOWS. Avid and his
wife got off the subway in such hur-
ry the other day that he left big bag
on the seat. Tears and lamentations.
The next night small boy walked
into the East 126the street police sta
ton and turned over "a bag ats heavy
enough to be full of lead" Early the
next day, Avid appeared at the station
and told of his loss the savings OF
lifetime. Describe the contents? He

$500 in gold S@amond earrings worth
$1,000; four gold mesh bags; rings

In New York and Boston the police

ency to embonpoint elraracterizing the

suit Of footpads or pickpockets their

THE NATIONAL DEBT

The national debt Of the United
States is p billion dollars, the in
terest on which is Ss.65 a year for
every man, woman and child in the
country. European natbns have much
greater national debts and much
greater per capita interest payments.
But the main difference is that we
pay our interest and the European
nations don't.

A PEAL nIpIllMAr

A Main Street gentleman has a
wife who is really charming and
companionable and everything else
that good wife should be- She was
bern on the twenty-third Of Novem-
bol, some years ago. This year the
twenty-third of November fell on
Wednesday. At noon on that day the
lady remarked to her husband:
you made splendid sweetheart,
but you are sorry husband. Here
it is, my birthday anniversary, and you
have not even given me stick Of
candy or wished me many happy le-
turns"
The gentleman was taken bach"
for Only moment. Then he Iofr"r~l
the comment of his better ha!f with
the following diplomatic worus.
"My dear wife, life wi-h yII Is 30
completely satisfactory and happy
that the months 90 by as days would
without you. The past year has gone
so swiftly, because so pleasantly, that
! have lost sight Of its passing Be
sides. there is nothing about you,
either in your looks or actions, that
would give the faintest hint that you
are a year older than you were twelve
months ago today. II was neither
neglect nor forgetfulness that / did
not mention your birthday anniver-
sary; it was just an absence Of real
ization."
Is there a wife anywhere who would
not, forgive her husband for anything
after a speech like that?

A TIP FROM NATURE

daring application of il that DR..
France stands out. II is not to be
forgotten that Descartes utilized the
ideas Of the Greek mathematician
and built out OF them his startling
propositions.
Taking the fagelants, that type Of
plant life which also extends over
into the animal kingdom, he sub
stimulates his claim that the turbine
engine is not the most efficient, but
is rather a side shoot and degen-
crate from the models which WILL ac-
cording to his argument, soon be
restored to the first place and will
then become the basis of new power
era. He has also made discoveries
from these plants, well called the
"hobos of two kingdoms because Of
their dual connections and their cease
less moving about, which have bear
ing on the old question as to the ideal
shape for a ship.
Turning to the common bluebell, he
has found architectural principles
which, he says, go beyond and are
more wonderful than anything to be
found in the Parthenon on in the
finest cathedrals of Europe. What is
more important is that he has applied
those principles in such way as to
make it possible in his models TO be
hampered by less weight than was
heretofore required in arriving at a
given structural result.
Taking the poppy head as model,
he has, by duplicating its arrange
ment for distributing its seeds, made
a salt shaker which has become in
stantly popular. The proceeds from
this invention, by the way, have made
the subsequent discoveries possible.
His experiments with colloid, that
socalled fourth state of matter, have
resulted in discoveries which seem TO
indicate that the "colloidal" boiler,
the counterpart for which he finds in
a number of plants, will be arrived
at far sooner than has heretofore
seemed possible.
Such boiler, it is pointed out,
would be Of particular Importance in
the development of lighter and swift
err agencies for water transportation,
the problem upon which he is cen
tering.
And this chain of new ideas, the
complete significance of which cam
not yet be adequately gagged, origina- /
ted from the effort of farmer TO
distribute the soil in better way
than nature had, the result being the
turning up Of new chapter in that
book Of boundless information--"Mo- I
Their Nature"

Scientists have been stirred by the
recent announcement of the nature
technique" method Of solving scien-
tiic problems as worked out by DIR.
.R. France Proceeding along the lines
which Descartes and Newton made
the highway to the three most NOM
entous pronouncements in the history
of science, this tireless eNperimenter
of Munich has apparently arrived at
a series of discoveries which have
direct bearing upon some Of the chief
physical problems now before the
world.
Beginning, as has often been the
case, from an accidental discovery, he
has worked out formula for apply
ing the exact technique utilized by
nature in meeting problems similar
to or identical with those confronting
man.
Nature, he says, can still show man
more about the turbine than can our
most gifted power specialists. Plants
(for it is with plants that he has
particularly concerned himSelf) work
under the urge of a NECESSITY which
is far more compelling than any that
drives even the most desperately

says, they proceed by a combination
