It Cuts Both Waus

~ NE who has been president of the
United States G"c~.1 Corporation may
be fairly assumed to know something
of the economic tides that are either favor
able or advers, to the country's wheat inter-
ests. Mr.. julius H. Barnes, who formerly
held that responsible post and from it's van
tage point studied the interplay of home and
foreign conditions, now declares that the
Emergency tariff act although passed os-
tensihly for the benefit of American produc-
ers, has proved distinctly unfortunate for
them.
Whatevr hurts those with whom we trade
will hurt u.s. one way or another. Russia's
elimination from the worlds grain markets
might have been supposed to rebound to the
profit Of other grain growers, since her nor
NAL contribution amounted to some two hun
dred m;Ilior bushels. But as fact, Mr..
Barnes shows, when Russia was eliminated as
producer and seller she was thereby elimi-
mated as a purchaser as well; and she being
unable to Guy from Europe, Europe became
less able to buy grain from u.s. The result
told markedly against the price or our wheat.
Now, the high tariff, enacted under the
guise Of protecting American interests, Will
prove similarly injurious by closing our ports
to the commodities of those to whom we hope
to ship our surplus of production and thereby
maintain prospecting foreign trade; for when
we cripple their selling power we cripple
their buying power. This actually has be-
fallen in the case of Canada, whose imports
from the United States dropped during the
first two months of the Emergency tariffs
operation, to eghty-fve million dollars, as
against moro than one hundred and seventy
five million in the corresponding period of
last year.

ton, better distribution, more frequent
turnovers, better business methods, greater

the buying public
That much avoidable waste, for which
consumer and producer both pay, occurs in
the distribution of fooC commodities is
avouched by all who look carefully into the
matter. There is not only waste of material
but, what is no less important, waste of time
and energy and opportunity. Poor roads,
for one in"tan> among scores, delay and
prevent marketing to an extent which Sc
riously affects the interests of the buying
public, as well as of the farmers. Failure
to grade and standardize keeps many Geor-
gia grower from disposing profitably of his
food crops, and at the same time keeps from
the consuming rank and file much material
that would tend to take the excess out of
the cost of living. The more thoroughgoing
the study of such problems be made,
the better for all concerned.

VICTORIA
RV DR. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
One of the most diverting books I have
read this long time is Lytton Strachey's
Queen Victoria"
One beauty of the volume is that it's title
indicates exactly its contents, which is not
always the case with books, and it is not
pleasant to pick up one thinking it is a biog-
raphy and find you are in for homiIy
good many criticisms in fact remind us
OF the witty remark of some Frenchman who
said that the critics method usually was:
Apropos of Shakespeare and his art, l will
proceed to talk about myself"
Strachey's pages really give us Victoria.
And reading them one cannot help feeling
sorry for the old girl and for all whom fate
condemns to the barren loneliness OF roy
atty
For instance, we are given on page 81 a
glimpse Of a royal evening party.
After dinner the company reassembled in
the draWingroom, for at her majestys af-
fairs gentlemen were denied even the sole
remaining refuge Of getting drunk.
The Queen proceeded to swap platitudes
with those present, and the evening moved
forward in arid and deadly elegance.
Here is her conversation with Mr.. Gre
Vile, Clerk of the Privy Council:
"Have you been riding today, Mr.. Gre
ville?" asked the Queen. ''No, Madam, !
have not" replied Mr.. Greville. cit was a
fine day. continued the Queen. Eyes, Mad
am, very fine day." said Mr.. Greville "It
was rather cold, though" said the Queen.
cit was rather cold, Madam said Mr.. Gre
VILE
''Your sister, Lady Frances Egerton, rides,
I think, doesn't she?" said the Queen "She
does ride sometimes, Madam said Mr. Gre
vile.
There was a pause, after which Mr.. Gre
vile ventured to take the lead though he
did not venture to change the subject HAS
your Majesty been riding today?" asked Mr..
Greville. ooh, yes, very long ride" an
swered the Queen with animation. "Has
your Majesty got a nice horse" said Mr..
Greville. ooh, very nice horse" said the
queen.
1t was over. Her Majesty gave a smile
and an inclination of the head, Mr.. Greville
a profound bow, and the next conversation
began with the next gentleman. When all
the guests had been disposed of, the Duchess
of Kent sat down to her whist, while every
body else was ranged about the round table
Lord Melbourne sat beside the Queen, and
talked OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES often apropOs to
the contents of one of the large albums of
engravings with which the round table was
covered-until it was half-past eleven and
time to go to bed.

In Nicaragua

The government of Nicaragua has issued
a proclamation declaring martial law to con-
tinue throughout the entire country for
another sixty days and proclaiming that a
state of war exists in five northwestern de-
partments, three of which border on Hon
duras.
Government officials have information that
after the present small attacks across the
Honduran boundary have harassed Nicaragua
large and serious revolutionary movement
is planned for November. Financial meas
ures to meet the military situation are being
arranged, and 1900 troops are now in the
field, mostly along the Honduran border to
repel the movements.

A young clerk in a poStoffce in suburb of
Chicago has been caught opening the fat let
terS that went through his hands He was SuS-
pected of being dishonest, and On the lookout
for money, but investigation proved that he
was just love thief. The only letters he tam
pered with were those addressed to girls, and
he rifled them in an effort to find out how
other men made love, and how to pop the
question.
1t will come with a shock of surprise to
women to learn that any man is driven to such
desperate straits for hints on how to propose.
We had supposed that a knowledge of how to
make love came to man by nature, as Dogberry
thought a knowledge of reading and writing
did. Also, we were more than suspicious that
most women are not slow in feeding a man
sentimental cues, and have wit enough to give
hating lover the final shove over the brink
of proposal when they have lured him that
far along the path of courtship.
1t appears that this is superficial view of
the matter, however and that there are still
men who choke when they try to tell a girl
that she is the only woman in the world for
them, and who are Smitten with pen paralysis
when they start to write it. Hence the world
is full of exaSperated women who have grown
weary waiting for the men to speak who have
monopolized their attention, and burnt out
their electricity, and never come to the point.
1t is to this class of dumb lovers that the
pOotOlllLC DClOHSS3 anu III tLCy SdI get
any tips from stealing from other lovers, let
the good work go on.
AS matter of fact, it must be admitted that,
considering that men have had a monopoly OF
all active love-making ever since Adam told
Eve she was 1t in the Garden of Eden, they
do it very badly.
They bak at the critical moment They are
tongue~tied when they should be fluent They
choose the wrong time and place, and generally
bungle the situation. They outrage the ar
tistc prophecies. They sit down and squash
the halo of romance that a woman has woven
about the affair.
Every woman has dreamed of being wooed
in lovely Booth Harrington language, and of
being able to treasure the memory of her pro-
posal to her dying day, but when the time
comes the man ShoveS a commonplace queS-
ton at her in commonplace way, and it shat
tiers the ideals of lifetime.
When the average man asks girl to marry
him she bursts into tears. He thinks she is
weeping with JOY at getting such good thing
as he is. In reality, she is crying with diSap-
pointment at the way he did it. She had ex-
pected to be able to tell her grandchildren how
grandpa proposed, but-well, one of the secrets
that no woman ever tells is what her husband
said when he really popped the question.
Of course, women are generally glad enough
to get a proposal on any terms, but there is

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-HOW MEN PROPOSE
BY DORO THY DIX

a difference in having the thing you want ten
dered to you on a silver Savar, and being
Slugged with it. Later on, you may be very
grateful for the gift. After you get over your
bruises.
The reason that women crowd the theaterS
and the movies is to see love-making properly
done, as it seldom is in real life
But how do men propose? Each in his own
individual way. But there are certain standard
types that every woman knows
There's the man who pops the question in
the confessional. He assumes that you are just
dying to make Keely cure of yourself, and
that you feel you have a general call to be a
sort of reformatory. So he begins by telling
you the dark story of his life, and how wicked
he has been, and begS you to be his good
angel and save him.
The baShful man proposes suddenly, and
when you least expect it. He doesn't waste a
word leading up to the subject because he has
screwed his courage up to the speaking point,
and he dare not loosen his Strangle hold
He catches his breath, and takes the plunge
as if he were jumping into sea of ice, and
didn't know, or care, whether he ever came up
or not.
The business man gives you a good dinner
of roast beef and potatoes, and across the
lemon pie tells you how much he cleared i'll
the grocery trade last year, and asks you how
you would like to go into life partnership
with him.
The egotiStical man proposes in way that
seems to say: 81 know | am too good for you,
but feel sure that you will devote your life to
trying to repay me for the sacrifice | make in
marrying you.'
The widower, poor boob, invariably tells you
that you remind him SO much of his dear, dead
Maria and he never has enough sense to per-
ceive that there is no one in the whole uni
verse, alive or dead that woman wouldn't
rather resemble than the first wife of the man
with whom she is in love.
Sometimes he even tells you that Maria
picked you out as her successor AND when he
does, it takes all the philosophy and Self-con-
troll of which woman is capable to prevent
her saying "No" no matter how much she
really wants the man, for no woman likes to
be reminded that another woman left her her
old shoes
No. men certainly are dubS at popping the
question. They certainly do need to improve
their game, and considering that every man has
proposed once, and most men number of
t7nfes, it does look as if they should either
play better ball or give women a show at the
bat

MODERN SURGERY
Bv H. AddinqtOn Bruce

T~WENTY years ago lady of my acquaint-
ance had to undergo an operation for a
fibroid tumor. 1t was only small fibroid
and the surgeon operating ranked high in his
profession.
Nevertheless, convaleScence was slow and
painful. Post-operative complications kept the
patient abed many weeks. And as the event
proved the operation had not been quite as
thorough as it should have been.
For, ten years later, symptoms developed IL
dcating that another fibrouS growth had APP
peared in the same organ Various reasons led
the attending physician to deem operation mad
viSabe, and in this opinion Sundry other med
cal men concurred.
The expectaton-at all events, the hope-waS
that on middle life being reached the fibroid
would cease giving any trouble. This expecta-
ton was not realized. On the contrary, after a
long period of quieScence, the growth became
markedly enlarged
And now, when resort was once more made
TO the operating room, it was found that an
extensive condition of disease was present
Not only was Seven-pound fibroid to be
reckoned with, but the gall-bladder was badly
infected, the appendix seriously diseased, and
there was an intestinal thinking"
The surgeon who on this occasion had the
case in charge did not hesitate. The "knk"
was straightforward the fibroid, appendix, and
gall-badder were removed two large inciSonS
being necessary. That is to say, an operation
far more extensive than the first was perform
ed, when the patient was nearly twenty years
older.
One would naturally expect convaleScence to
have been both more difficult and more pro-
tracted. Actually the patient within less than a
month was able to walk unaSSiSted to the auto
mobile that took her home from the hospital
Nothing, it seems to me, could illustrate more
impreSSiVely the marvellous progress of surgery
during the past few years.
Formerly SepSiS was one of the overhanging
menaceS of operations. Today it is rare. For
merly poSt-operative pains and diScomforts of
an extreme sort were looked for as well-nigh
inevitable. Today surgical technique is able in
marked degree to avert these
So that the decision "You will have to be
operated upon" need not, and should not, be
deemed equivalent to "You must suffer martyr
dom and then may not survive" To deem it
thus equivalent is, indeed, to increase the opera
tive risk. Whenever fear rules, the vital powers
are leSSened.
Foolish especially are they who, informed
that they have developing cancer which only
| surgical intervention can cure hesitate from a
mistaken dread of the suffering surgery may
impose on them.
Plucking up their courage, facing the surgical
odeal bravey, they are likely to find it in
finitely less taxing tlS1 they had imagined. And
the chances are all in favor of their life being
prolonged as could not be the case if they gave
the surgeon no chance to check the cancerouS
growth that has attacked them

Russians, But Patriots
\ ATRIOTISM has ever thrived upon per-
secution, and that of the present-day

- secution, and that of the present-day
Russian appears the stronger for it.
Says one now sojourning in Paris, exiled by
the rule of Lenine: military defeat, the
shameful peace of Brest-Litovsk, the German
occupation, and finally the destruction of the
great empire, followed each other with as
founding rapidly. Today the gods imposed
by the Boshevists are those of the Third In
ternationale, and love of ones country is con-
sidered bourgeois prejudice an antl-revolu-
tionary idea" But despite all tkis and de-
spite the i'll will which Russian wanderers
ofttimes encounter in neighborlng Baltic
lands, there is a pronounced increase in ma
tional and patriotic sentiment in Soviet Rus
STA as we'll as in circles of Russian immigrants
dispersed throughout the world"
History may yet show that the humiliatlons
and ordeals of this time are fires from which
a reborn and freshly plumed Russia shall
take her rise. Assuredy, a patriotism that
survives czardom and outlives Bolshevism has
within it a spark of the eternal. What the
Russia or tomorrow Will be like, few me
conjecture and none know. But if it shall
partake of the character of those silent mil
lions who through all vicissitudes and suf-
ferngs stand loyal to an ideal which to them
is their country, it will be a Russia that the
world must respect.

jap Naval Plans

The basis of Japans program at the WASH
ington conference on the limitation of arma-
ment and Far Eastern questions will be a de-
sire to maintain a defensive navy large
enough to cope with any naval force that any
other nation would be capable of sending into
the Far East, members of the Japanese dele
cation say.
The impression is given that Japan will
not propose the dismantling of the American
Notifications in in tho Pacific.
Japan apparently does not believe Ameri-
ca could send her entire navy to the Far East
on account of the distance and the lack Of
sufficiently large bases. But if American ma
val bases are enlarged and Great Britain's
bases are expanded, Japan's minimum, it is
intimated, must be arranged accordingly
Japan believes that the strength of bases
in the Pacific is a question directly linked up
with the problem of navy curtailment. There
fore, it is probable that efforts may be made
to settle the two matters simultaneously.
Vice Admiral Tomosaburo Kato minister
of marine, one of Japans delegates to WASH
ington, has discarded his naval uniform. He
explained that he goes to Washington, not
as naval minister, but as member OF the
cabinet empowered to discuss all affairs OF
state. 1t is believed that he has been invest
ed with wide authority. He is the most re-
firing and unobtrusive man aboard.

city health department of Boston, under au-
thority of an act passed by the last legisla-
ture "Some bakers thought that cats were
necessary in order to keep rats and mice
away" said DR.. P. H. Mullowney, deputy
health commissioner, in charge Of the food
inspection division. ''The same object can
oe attained, however, by proper physical con-
7truction of the baking plant, so we have
abolished cats and all other animals"
Basement bakeries will not be permitted
hereafter. Bakers must refrain from smok-

ties any suspicion of contagious disease
among their employees. Bakery goods must
be properly protected from dust dirt and
