Panama Tolls Will Cause BIG Debate

In view Of the opposition II will be
easier to put through q bill applying
to coastwise ships only.
Senators Borah. Knox and most 9th.
er advocates Of toll exemption hold
that such legislation would not be in
contravention Of the Hay.Pauncefote
treaty with Great Britain, under
which the United States built the
canal. They contend that the provi.
sion for equal passage terms to the
ships Of all nations applies only to
the ships Of sll nations other than the
United States.
President Harding favors toll exemp.
tion. but has indicated that It should
be achieved through q new under.
standing with Great Britain.
Last year the canal earned S10. .2o6..

dies. has at last asserted itself through
your columns In the personality of
George Harrison McAdam. What he
said is true, bitterly true. and he is to
be commended for his vigorous defence
of the weak backed public. which has
meekly submitted to the Prussanism of
the chauffeurs, and while the timid pub
lie may herd behind him as he stands
defying their brutal assaults. the public
should show it's appreciation of the stand
he is taking by railyng to his support.
- Let me make suggestion In my
humble way as a sort of range finder.
Others with more trained minds may
think Of some better way and I will
gladly be one TO support them.

homes have been blIghted by murdered

Seeing Venus by Daylight.

Probably never in the history of
the world did Venus get such a star
ing at as she had yesterday. Mill
ions of earthly eyes were raised to
peer at her as she perched, palely
beautiful, in the southwest. She is
radiant in the small hours Of the
morning, but nobody sees her then
except milkmen and cops.
The queer thing about it was that
the New Workers who hurt their
necks looking at Venus thought they
were looking at comet. Yes, a
plain, miserable gasbag Of a comet,
fit for nothing but gadding the sky
and throwing meteorites around the
cosmic room. They had more inter
est in big piece of gas than in a
solid, honest planet which even now
may have it's own Adams and Ewes,
Babe Ruths and income taxes.
It. was the old story of publicity
and propaganda. WINNEcKE's comet
was well press agented. Venus has
been neglected. The professors never
go around yelling. "See Venus firstr
Third largest object in the sky!"
But Venus had her revenge yester-
day On a nsglectful world.

brated a special mass for the per-
formers. The nearest approach to
this recognition before was in 1900.
when ANTON LANG was granted a
special audience at the Vatican.
The production In 1910 was ex-
tremely successful; about 100000
visitors saw the play and s437.500
was paid in admissions. Only small
portion of this went to the partici-
pants in the performances; the re-
niainder was entirely devoted to COM
munal purposes of an educational
and philanthropic character. The
Germans rather resented this local
ization of the returns from the play,
declaring that its production was
only a money making scheme. and
they were conspicuously in the mi
nority among the attendants. A large
proportion Of the visitors came from
the United States, Great Britain and
France. 1t is doubtful, however, if
Oberammergau will see so large
representation from any Of these
three countries in 1922.

Sam Compers Still AT 1t.

In the convention OF the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor at Denver
SAM GoMPERs's executive council re-
port calls for a continuation Of re-
sistance to the readjustment Of war
imitation wages in harmony with the
readjustment of living costs.
SAM GoMPERs, then, demands a
continuation OF the irrational eco
nomic conditions which make three
billions of dollars of Government
shipping fit only for junk, with no
Job for the marine workers, who
ought to be earning American bread
and butter, sailing the high seas.
He demands continuation of war
imitation traffic rates on the rail-
roads to the amount of six billions
of dollars a year, because railroad
payrolls have been eating up more
money, approximately q billion Of
dollars a year more, than the total
transportation bills paid by the
American people amounted to only a
short time before the war.
He demands continuation of the
obliteration of the nations export
trade, because this country cam.
sell high cost goods In the markets
OF the world against low cost goods
of foreign production.
He demands a continuation of un-
mined coal, which is basic factor
in industrial production, because
mills and factories cannot use coal
at a cost which prevents their out
put from going to market at the
right price.
He demands a continuation of the
housing shortage. because adequate
and suitable shelter cannot be put
over the heads Of the public at rent
costs which the public cannot pay.
He demands a continuation OF the
numbers of the unemployed in the
United States. He demands a pro-
gressive continuation of those num-
bers from 100000 to 100000 to
1000. .000--to the Lord only knows

work depends upon the return every
where and in everything TO sane con-
ditions of production.
But SAM GoMPERs and his executive
council might as well demand the sus'
pension of the law of gravitation as
the eternal deadlock of the economic
wheels of this country. The American
people are not going TO let their pro-
ductive machinery rust, their indus
trial plants rot and their nation sink
into poverty and ruin.
This country wants to go back to
work and it is going back to work.

Dempsey's Chances.
Science Says He Must Make q Quick
Win or Lose the Fight.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: strength
From Sleep" was read by me in tho
Sunday edition OF your we'll esteemed
paper.
What the athlete does by instinct
science had solved only few year7
ago. Rest and sleep are more essen-
tial to q boxer Of the Dempsey type
than to any other athlete. To substan-
tiate my statement I will give the fol-
lowing scientific facts:
Dempsey, when boxing, is full OF
highly intensified muscular activity.
making use of all his great muscular
strength. This produces a rapid forma-
ton OF creatinin, a toxic substance due
TO muscular friction and burning. which
causes arm and general tiredness and
causes the muscles to become stiff. SO
that the boxer is hardly able to lift his
arms and Is only able to remain on
his legs through his sense OF balance.
This fact was well demonstrated during
the Dempsey Willard fight, where the
former nearly blew up after few
rounds.
This endogenous product Is so highly
toxic that II we find it present in the
blood to the extent OF five millisrans
per 100 cubic centimeters of blood. which
frequently occurs in chronic diseases OF
the kidneys, the latter being unable 20
elimiu, = same from the blood, the prog
nosis ,e fatal and the patient will die
within few days OF, at the most. a few
months.
Dempsey must finish Carpenter dur
inr the first few rounds, at the most
four or five, or he will be a beaten man.
If one would be permitted to make
comparative blood analysis OF each
combatant after one hour OF training,
both doing the same amount OF work.
the one having the least amount OF
creatinin would be the victor. pro-
vided that there would be no knockout
in the beginning OF the bout.
Sleep and rest are the two most es-
sential factors TO eliminate this poison
from the blood, so that our strength
can return.
Food is not at all a factor In tho
formation of creatinin, being a purely
indigenous product.
