SAY, BOYS, GIVE US LESS LATIN!

One of the things we don't under
stand is why statesmen, who are
elected to their jobs by the people,
insist on using words at highly i'm
portant public conferences which most
of us don't readily understand.
Take that armament conference.
The public, the mass of the people,
down to the least educated of us, are
millions of times more interested in
that meeting, its deliberations and its
results than are the men who are
participating in it, no matter how
great they are, or think they are.
Every so often you hear BRAND or
Balfour or Hughes or some other fell
low speak of "the last plenary ses-
sion."
"Plenary' nothing. Plenary means
full, complete Why not say ''the
last complete session." Why use
words that fiddle folks or drive them
to a dictionary?
linen there Is the word 'agenda,
which they love to roll around under
their tongues at the conference. No
doubt it is a Latin word-probably a
d~erivative OF the word ago, to treat,
10 discuss"-but there isn't one of us
fifty every day folks that numbers
Latin among our accomplishments.
If diplomats responsible to peoples
must have a lingo of their own, let
them speak it among themselves in
their secret sessions, of which you
may be sure there are plenty at Wash
ington nowadays, Notwithstanding the
American governments efforts at pub
licity.

Dry Officials Clash
In Chicago Dispute

CHICAGO. Feb. 23.-The barring
of another whisky smuggling
scheme, in connection with which
four men already have been arrest
ed, was almost overshadowed today
by a: consequent row between Fed
eral officials that may be taken to
Washington for airing.
Joseph A. Tatro, special internal
revenue agent. threatened to make
formal charges against Frank d.
Richardson, prohibition supervisor.
for interfering with Tatro's prison
ers. There was a hot verbal battle,
after which a truce was declared
and the prisoners temporarily re-
turned to Tatro's custody.
Tatro charges the four prisoners
are field agents for a syndicate that
is smuggling liquor throughout the
East and Middle West and peddling
it regularly to listed customers.
Approximately 1000 whisky per-
mits, stolen from the office of the
prohibition director in New York
were found in their possession, the
revenue men said.
When the arrests were made.
Tatro said. one of the prisoners Of
fered him a $1,000 bribe. He re-
fused 1t. Then, he said, one of the
agents working with him took the
money and is holding 1t as evidence.
1t was learned that Tatro had
been in Chicago three weeks inves-
tigating the alleged whiskey run
ming plot.

A Balanced Navy.

If this country is to have the greatest navy in
the world, it is but good sense to make it balanced
navy in the various arms and services If there is
to be preponderance of capital ships these should
have adequate undersea and air protection whether
in harbor the open
If there to be these many new vessels of all
types, certainly men should be provided and trained
to man them. The Senate, therefore, with the Sit
uation as it is, is to be commended for adding an
other ffty-odd millions of dollars to the huge ap-
preparation for ship construction and arpanes, and
providing an added 10000 for the personnel of
the navy.
To build battleships, while rather ignoring air
and undersea agencies would seem like flying in the
face of Providence. 1t would be refusal 70 learn,
yielding to that conservatism and dsinclination to
bulge, which characterizes most specialists Aero
nautics will not stand still wait for the United
States to make up its mind.
Submarines cannot be shunted one side and
submerged by ignoring them. The United
States does not hold the lever which controls all
the movements of the world though some Ameri-
cans seem to think this is the situation. At rate
il cannot have this control long as it refuses to
put its hand on the lever because it might touch
another hand.
The last war one of war novelties circlIng,
protecting and permitting to be effective, the old
and tried agencies of war This was the fact both
on sea and land. This country might as we'll de-
termine to organize its army on the 1913 model as
to organize its navy of that date.

An Oil Bubble.

There are those who would still make fuss
over Mesopotamia oil helds-the oil is yet to be
found and produced. There is British plot, these
hold, to monopo1ize the worlds supply of oil and so
reduce the United States to a state of economic
vassalage 1t is really remarkable how many kinds
of bugs there are in the air of today
One of these very agencies which fears such a
British plot and strenuously insists upon the equal
rights of Americans in Mesopotamia recently issued
a set of figures Figures at least do not of them
selves wi1fully misrepresent.
These show that in 1870 the United States pro-
duced two-thirds of the total world supply of oil.
The next largest producer Mexico. The Mexi-
can supply added to our own was just IS per cent
of The world total. Of the Mexican oil the United
States got two and one-half times as much as did
all other countries. including Great Britain.
< The entire British commonwealth produces but
f-e per cent of the world supply, while British
capital controls in Persia and Burma around an
othef Ia per cent. She gets IN addition a; large
psrt.o the Mexican supply and is the heaviest for
eign buyer from the United States

Squares Circle
After 40 Years,
Says Engineer

WHEELING, w. Va. Feb. ga
Solution of the problem of squar-
ing the circle, which has baffled
the word for ages. was claimed
here today by Joseph Leiner. So
years old. an architect and engi-
neer.
Leiner. who has worked on the
problem forty years. says he has
completed his solution and will
make application for a Nobel prize.
Astronomy. according to Leiner. will
benefit more than any other thing
by the solution.
1T means that astronomy will
be revolutionized." Leiner said.
1t also means establishment of a
new law in mathematics. he said.
The solution. Leiner said, will
bring no concrete benefit to engi-
neering.
For one thing, 1t will save mil
lions of fellows from going crazy
in trying to work it out" Leiner
said. They don't have to worry
any more about it."

Restore International Confidence.

In an ssddress on Monday at the Army and
Navy Club in Chicago, Gen. Leonard Wood sad
"If we ever go back allies, the milliops who
are buried in France and Belgium will, have died in
vain" To this in another part of his address he
added: .a
There never will be disarmament long as
there is confidence between the nations. Not
until that confidence has been established can
we hope to bring about lasting peace, whether
through some means such an -amplihed Hague
tribunal or a modified league of nations which
will give the people of the United States the
absolute freedom of saying when we shall go :
to war.
At the Chicago convention, Gen. Wood had 30
per cent of the delegates His nearest competitor
was Gov Lowden and together they controlled we'll
over half of the convention. Both of them in their
campaigns had declared for the entrance Of this
country into the league of nations with such reser-
vations as had been adopted by the Senate by ma
ority vote.
The only open opponent of the league, Senator
Johnson, had less than one-seventh of the conven-
ton vote. This clearly shows what then the
conviction of Republicans after the months, of de-
bate in the Senate. Neither before the convention,
nor before the election was there any to
doubt this overwhelming sentiment within the party.
Evidently Gen. Wood has not changed his
mind If anything he has confirmed his judgment.
Neither is there reason to think Gov. Lowden's
! opinion has changed. Nor is their personal fol-
lowing among Republicans, the confidence in their
judgment less than it was. Both supported Mr..
Harding.
Few Republicans will dissent from either OF
the assertions made by the general in this latest ad
dress, few, that is, among the rank and file The
United States cannot with honor desert its allies
now, any more than before the war ended. Neither
can there be disarmament as has recently been
proved, until confidence between nations has been
restored to what it at the wars close.
How this measure of confidence is to be re-
stored is secondary matter. Those who walk
and talk with the average of meh, still believe the
vast majority hold that the shortest, easiest and
logical way, as we'll as the, most becoming, is
through the league of natiops. Who can longer
doubt the need there of the steadying influence and
quite controlling power of the United States?
To the idea Mr. Harding is fully committed
If there is a difference, it is but of methods
and the country now waits with confidence the
trial of his plan for that reunion of the world mind
in which the United States shall have its part, in
which it shall fully meet its obligations, and which
will restore that mutual confidence through which
| alone can there be hope of peace.

300 MANIACS FIGHT
TO DIE IN FLAMES

HAMILTON, Ont. Feb. 23.-More
than 300 maniacs. fighting to hurl
themselves in the flames. were res
cued today when fire swept the
Orchard House. one Of the main
buildings OF the Ontario Hospital
for the Insane
There were $50 lunatics in the
building when the fire started. The
entire asylum staff-doctors, nurses
attendants and even some of the
mildly insane from other buildings
battled to save the maniacs, whose
wild cries resounded above the roar
of the flames. DR.. w. NJ. English
hospital superintendent, led the
fight.
Many of those rescued tried to
run back into the fire. Others struG-
gled desperately against being car
ried to safety. Some of those lib
Grated ran madly around the asylum
grounds.
Officials stated that all patients
had been taken out. but two were
missing. They probably escaped
from the asylum during the excite.
ment. Orchard House was de.

"Ifs So Much Fun"
Says Boy BurgLa,

of the Criminal Court, ten days ago
gave Jimmy Wicks. II, apothel

bing a dozen homes, but the court
after securing a s12 n week job

A Degrading Luxury.

Scarcity causes uxuries," says the Montreal
Star "To produce abundantly Of anything makes 1t
available for the mass" War, for example, used to
be luxury of the rich, it seems, in its abund-
ance to be quite the exclusive privilege of the poor.
In the olden days it was the occupation OF gen.
tlernen, now it is the final recourse of poverty.
With the hallmark of kings, it was the royal right
of wholesale robbery. Now it bears the stamp of
poverty and is but a means of livelihood.
The rich but themselves against the de-
generacy of their once luxury. They are putting
expensive burglar alarms in the form of armies
and navies to protect their empty vaults. They go
armed against themselves, start at their own
thoughts and fear nothing much as the return of
this luxury which has become commonplace
If the standard of living depends upon the
standard of production, Europe is reaping what she
has sowed Certainly the present standard of war,
she is still producing large area is as low as
that once sport, of kings could get. She would seem
to have absorbed to. ssturation.
1t might also seem that the United States with
its, better ideals of luxures and their right place
might some day realize il has real part to play in
standardzing this particular product There are
so-called Injuries which are degrading in them
selves. War has surely proved itself one of them.

MOUNTAINS IN LAVA SEA
DESCRIBED TO BIOLOGISTS.

Mountains that project like prom
ontories into sea of basaltic
rock are to be found in Southeastern
Idaho, G. r. Mansfield, of the Geo
logical Survey. told the Geological
Society at it's meeting last night at
the Cosmos Club.
In what the geologist calls late"
geologic time, the Snake River plain
was the scene of considerable vol
canic activity. Today may be seen
the extensive flows of lava in which
some of the streams have cut deep
canyons. Numerous volcanic cones.
some nearly perfect, are to be found
there, and of commercial interest
are the beds OF volcanic ash which
is used largely in securing, cleaning
and polishing preparations. the
speaker said.
AT least five and possibly eight
epochs of volcanic activity have
been recognized. the last appearing
to have produced highly siliceous
rocks rather than the more largely
iron-bearing types that might have
been expected" said Mr.. Mansfield
Although much OF the material un-
doubtedly came from vents now rep
resented by cones, 1t is thought that
the larger portion was derived from
assures now concealed. but sug-
gested by various lines of evidence.
