STRAIGHT GOODS.

Some days, ago The Herald commented on the
fact that the representative Of an important religious.
was urging on congress the of dras-
tic Sunday legislation. It has been suggested that
this alleged movement is entirely mythical or that
the purposes Of those engaged in it have been gross
ly exaggerated in order to create sentiment against
even rational Sunday legislation.
If any reader entertains a doubt on the subject
he is advised to look up a copy of the Congressional
Record and read three or, four pages beginning at
page 1881. He will find published there a petition
to congress signed by Noah H Cooper, chairman Of
the Sabbath Crusade committee of the Methodist
Church South, and by two other members of the
committee, praying for the enactment of a bill, the
text Of. which is quoted, prohibiting, among other
things, the operation of freight or passenger trains
for any purpose on Sunday, the publication and dis
tribution of newspapers on Sunday, the use of the
mails for the delivery at any time Of Sunday papers
or those purporting to be published on Sunday, the
Sunday handling of mail in any form, and the per-
Torrance of labor of any kind in so far as this is
within the jurisdiction Of congress.
The petitioners declare that their own church
desires the enactment of this legislation, the cites
the Southern Baptist church as being committed to
the same policy.
Absurd as such a proposal is, it has been seri-
ously made, and fanaticisn and committee work
combined have committed over two million people
to it.

E AIR TRAVEL.

A party Of five persons travelled from Washing
ton to New York by airplane the other day at a to-
tai cost OF $3.50 for oil and gasoline. The distance
covered =: miles, a little farther thai. the. distance
~ raj. this being due, presumably, to cross air cur
rents. !ic trip was made in abort half the usual
train ii We. .4a#
A good deal of attention has been paid in popu-
lar discussions to the speed, certainty and safety Of
air travel. The element of cost has. not figured
largely in the discussions. But here is a case in which
a trip of over 200 miles was made BY five persons at
a cost of a little over one dollar per passenger for
fuel and oil. This is pretty cheap going.
course there are other elements. to be consid-
cred. In this particular case the initial investment
was doubtless high, as the plane used was a new
Fokker limousine, the cost of which would equal
that of several five-passenger automobiles. While
the airplane travels through an elastic medium and
is therefore not subjected in actual travel to the sud-
den jolts and jars which wrench the automobile
body, it is necessarily Of much lighter construction,
and its parts are under constant tension which must
frequent adjustment and replacement.
The engine speed is also very high, which is anoth-
er element Of wear and cost. Nevertheless, the per-
Torrance in this case was remarkable, and must be
regarded as very satisfactory.

THAT N

We hear and read a .greatideal about the equali-
ty of man, and omewhat less, but still very much,
about the equality Of nations. In the inclusive sense
of the word there is no such thing.
Men are not equal, but they have certain equal
rights. Under a just system Of government this
equality of rights is recognized. Each individual has
a right to the possession of enjoyment of his own
property, to the freedom of his person, to security in
his domestic relations, to liberty of thought and of
conscience, and to such liberty of action as does not
conflict with the equal liberty of all other persons.
Each nation, when constituted, has practically
similar rights. Within the limits of what the world
holds to be essential to its civilization the authority
of the nation. great or small, over its dimestic affairs
is supreme.
But men are not equal. They differ in mentality
and morality as they do in size and feature. No two
are quite alike. And, as they differ in intellect and
SO they must differ in influence. The coun-
sells of one man are accepted while those of another
are rejected because the differences between them
are recognized. r.
So do the nations Of the earth differ. BY no
stretch of imagination can the little republic Of Pan
anna be considered the equal Of the United States in
the councils of the world, nor can Liberia be con
sldered the equal of France. Each is sovereign and
independent. But the influence of nations, like that
OF men, is conditioned on their experience, their
and their demonstrated capacity.

THE FARMER AND HIS LAND.

Some one has said that the farmer is the only
producer whose plant increases ~in-value automatic
ally. The manufacturer must write off something
every year for depreciation. This is true as to the
farmers buildings and equipment, but it has not
been true as to his land. Except in certain
sections of the east, the price of farm lands has in
creased steadily year BY year since the first home
steads were; taken.
a part Of this increasesis accounted for by the
tact that land is growing relatively scarce. There are
many acres as formerly, but most Of the acres
have been appropriated. Good farming land is, no
longer to be had as it was in this country but a few
years ago, at the cost Of 4 few weeks travel vest
ward. Millions of people have gone west until the
west has disappeared. There is no longer any Dor
der and little free land. That fact increases the de-
Of land and enhances its price.
The other part Of the increase IS due to the cap
|ltalization OF the farmer profits Or what he believes
are 70 be his profits. "A man buys land, AS he buys
anything else, because he believes it will paw him to
do SO. The price which he willlpay is based on his
Judgment as to the productive properties Of the
land. If he istconvincod that the crops ne canraise
will after operating expenses are met, pay reason
able interest on. his linyes he will buy; other
WISE he will not.
The manufacturer takes part 81 the profits On
his production to offset depreciation on his plant.

H SOVIET BEGs.

The Russian Soviet government begs for aid
esssom the United States. Its people are starving,
Nd they must be fed. The appeals for food do not
pine directly from Lenine. On the contrary, Le-
inc repudiates them But Maxim Gorky, who has
zen close to the Communist leader, sent a very urg-
,lt appeal to Secretary Hoover, and that appeal was
quite properly, as an expression OF Com
aunist authorities. AS in everything else connect
u with Socialism, Communism, and similar isms,
is practically impossible to tie anything concern
ag it onto anybody in particular.
Every person who is actuated by the ordinary
pnsiderations of humanity desires to see the suffer
AZ in Russia fed. Most Of us can realize little Of
aeir actual condition, often as we have seen it de-
sribed. But there are horrors which we cannot
rasp without a closer contact than is afforded by
sr1ttel or spoken descriptions. There are things
nat cannot be described. Experience is essential
> understanding. @
But most Of us have some idea of the suffering
nat is being endured in Russia. And in our atti-
1de on that subject we are as greatly perplexed as
re the normal people in a community by the prob
m presented by the destitute wife and children
HON everyone wishes to aid, and the nominal head
the family who is lazy, improvident and disco
ate. SO long as such a worthless brute steps care.

echnical part of the law. He can make a bluff at
boxing for a job. He may actually make>a bluff

BUSINESS HONOR

The Herald has just been handed a copy of an
H@htofial IN the Saskatoon Star which has arous-
I the ire of a Saskatchewan reader who, notwith-
sSanding his present residence, is evidently Ameri-
an IN origin and sentiment, and who would like to
ye 2 reply published in an American paper. With
III desire to oblige, The Herald fails to find much
A the article calling for anything in the nature of
ssply from this side of the line. In fact, the trouble
eeens to have been started by a Salem, Oregon,
saper, and the Saskatoon paper merely quotes it's
Suthern nedghbor and offers some additional com
Gent which it believes will be suitable for its Cana
IAN readers.
The whole thing started with hops, which have
cured in many other disturbances. The Salem
Aper notes that prohibition Las knocked the bottom
St Of the mop market. SO that the hope Of the indus
y !Ies IN the foreign market, specifically, in the
aarehase OF Oregon hops by British buyers. 1t ap-
saTs that contracts were made with these BUYERS
3arS itops at a much higher price than the present
aaTke1 and, notwithstanding the fact that these
Sntracts could be repudiated without much trouble,
Se Salem paper notes that there is no suggestion
4 this, and takes it for granted that the buyers will
geEup to their agreements. It pays a compliment
British business integrity BY saving that this
init OF commercial honor is so we'll known to char
Kterlze the British business men that it has result
I'm British trade encirchng the globe. It calls
4 theAhop growers to be equally scrupulous in
|gcklng their goods and otherwise carrying out
SeIr share OF the contract.
The Canadian paper, with this for ! text takes
sporturIty to preach a little sermon to the Cana
ans on business integrity, urging them to live I'D
the reputation which other AngIo-Saxon business
I'm have established, a line of advice which IS not
alLbannedf for any people.
4! course, general1zat1ons are to be understood
Enerally. All British business men are not honor
f#le but a great international business cannot yery
lftf5be bullt up except ona basis of confidence. and
ihere confidence is general, and has existed for !
IFlg tlnae, there IS usually something solid behind it.

GOOD BUTTER IS A
CONCENTRATED FOOD

Many people consider butter merely
as a relish. This Us an error. Butter
is concentrated vital food. 1t is all
food with no waste. One pound of it
contains as much nourishment, or real
food for the body, as Al eggs, four
pounds of steak, or 80 pounds of can
ned tomatoes. This clearly shows that
the value of food cannot be deter
mined by It's appearance or cost.
Butter is a wholesome, palatable
and absolutely essential food. 1t Is in
dispensable to growth, health and
vitality.
There Is no substitute for butter. No
food can take It's place. though there
are some articles o.. the market for
which sweeping claims are made re-
garding their food values. Butter -
more than fat. 1t promotes growth and
health. In addition to supplying heat
and energy for the body.
DR.. McCollum, of Johns Hopkins
University, has shown tho difference
between butterfat and other fats. He
has shown that aniA.ais and children
receiving butterfat grow and develope
normally. while those receiving fats
other than butterfat. with an other
wise adequate ration, fall to grow.
II you want your children to grow
and be healthy; II you want to enjoy
perfect health yourself. you should
use butter in every way possible in
cooking and eating.

Milk-including It's products, ice
cream, butter and cheese-is coming
into its own as far as a realization OF
its importance to health is concerned.
Physicians the country over are en-
phasizing more emphatically heaitn-
giving properties to milk; chlld-wei-
fare centers are calling attention TO
the fact that in nine cases out OF ten
poor health in child directly trace,
able to lack of milk: even school
authorities arc beginning to take an
active interest for low health standard
means limited mental development.
Dairy products contain all the nee
essary elements that build and repair
bone and muscle. Professor Rosenau,
of Harvard University, says that the
actual food value of one quart of milk
is equal to one and one-quarter POUNDS
of beef. fourteen eggs, etc.
1t is not contended by health auth
critics that other foods should be dis
pensed with; but they do claim that a
| greater consumption OF dairy products
will result in a higher health stand
| ard tho country over.
For instance. they say that butter Is
as per cent pure food: that 1t supplies
| yitamine. the mysterious element upon
which growth and development de.
pends. They say give the children all
the bread and butter they want, and
advise mothers to cook and bake with
good butter like mother used to do.

CHEESE IS AN
ECONOMICAL FOOD

OF ali the muscls-building foods,
cheese Is the most nourishins and
economical Cheese Is often classed
with meat and beans because 1t con-
tains some similar ingredients. 1t Is.
however. rich in butterfat. that vital
substance that is so essential to
growth and health. This fact makes
cheese an essential and almost in
dispensable food.
Cheese is not used by the American
people as freely as 1t is by the people
of Europe, because we have not
recognized Its high food value and its
relatively low cost.
Cheese can be used In many ways,
such as In sauces. salads. sandwiches.
and in connection with vegetable.
cereals and eggs. Any good cook book
will give you many recipes for pre-
pairing delicious and economical
cheese and dairy dishes. You should
use more dairy products-milk. butter
and checse--for your hcalth's sake
and that of your family.
Ice cream Is not a luxury; II Is
highly nutritious food.
Milk and its products are nature s
best foods-use more OF them.

from nations subsisting almost wholly
on cheese, as shining examples OF what

The National Dairy Council in con-
junction with the various State Dairy

the increased consumption of dairy

standpoint of health alone. the Sue

ICE CREAM IS A
N0uR|sH|NG FOOD

Ice cream is a food which the pub
lie has not yet learned to appreciate:
it has been considered luxury. And
not real food. As a matter of met.
ice cream Is nourishing food. very
palatable and high in food value.
1t isn't necessary to-load the stom-
ach with heavy. bulky foods in order
to furnish proper nourishment for the
body. Ice cream Is food which is all
digestibl~ During the war 1t was de-
clared by the United States Public
Health Service to be an essential and
highly nourishing food.
Food experts tell us that ono quart
of ice cream furnishes as much nour-
ishment for the body as fourteen eggs.
Ice cream should be eaten In every
household in America; 1t should be
considered as part of the meal, not
merely as q temptin. dessert.

New York.-Living conditions have
ceased up considerably, in the view
Of the National Publishers Associa-
tion which, meeting in the sumptuous
quarters Of the Engineers club here,
adopted resolution demanding that
the employing printers Of New York
serve notice upon Typographical
Union No. 8 that the existing scale
Of wages to printers must be reduced
at the expiration Of the present con-
tract on October or the matter sub
mitted to arbitration. The time-hon-
ored and ever-useful threat also was
limited at to the effect that unless
"Big Six" agrees to the terms set
forth in the resolution "a huge volume
Of magazine publication in this city
