The vast lower Potomac and its

1t is natural highway of the Oldest
English settled region of the United
States. 1t is a section relatively un-
productive, but potentially as pro-
ductive and rich as any other part of
the United States. Climate, soil,
water protection" and geographical
position should make it the vegetable,
small fruit and poultry center Of a
wide part of the eastern states. 1t

ture and many Potomac valley ham,

country is now served by motor lines
and an occasional steamboat, but
probably the time will come when fast

Potomac country and other parts of
the Chesapeake basin with Phila-

hundreds of other cities in that east

Proper Indoor Temperature.

Human beings, like pieces of furni-
ture, may be dried out by superheated
and too dry air. And in the train of
the drying process come colds and
other diseases of the nose and respira-
tory tract in general. While dry,
superheatei. indoor air is not entirely
responsible for those aonfit,ons, there
can be but little question t:at = is D.
large contributory factor.
Many government buildings, bust
ness houses and some of the public
schools have improper indoor tempera-
lures. 1t is generally held that a
steady temperature of about 20 de-
grees is desirable, but many believe
that 6S is enough, and some that 65
degrees would be much better. Which
ever Of these figures is accepted. many
local indoor temperatures far exceed
the mark.
Particularly is the superheated room
noticeable in the government depart
ments. Uncle Sam has plenty of coal
and he has many elderly employees. II
is realized that as people get older
they tend to want room heat higher
But, although the warmth may be en-
joyable, it dries out the nasal pas
sages. nevertheless.
Scarcely any office is free from the
person who has horror of fresh air

thing more to he feared than the devil
himself. Consequently, whenever a
'friesh-air fiend" puts a window up
even a tiny bit the timorous one
promptly puts it down.
But fresh air no longer needs any
defense. Man is a fresh-air animal
He needs it in winter more than In
summer. if that is possible. Probably
nine-tenths of the winter colds and
coughs could be prevented if people
breathed pure. cool. fresh air all the
time. Open the windows and let the
stale, dry air out and the fresh, moist
air in. Your lungs will be grateful
Your whole being will thank you.

The Debts Owed to America.

Every person Of practical sense will
easily understand that the interna-
tional conference at Washington is
not purely of a humanitarian char
acter but that at this conference
every nation is looking out for her
own interests and trying by some
means to obtain what she most de-
sireS.
Contrary to the reports in the news
papers, the question of the foreign
debts represents one of the principal,
If not the most important, questions
discussed at the conference, and We
are almost certain that the question
of the allied debts has taken the
following aspect: The United States
are creditors for $10.000.000,000, on
which heavy interests are due; the
acceptance of the American plan to
limit armaments by the foreign ma
tions would permit the United States
to save about $20O,000,00O a year;
this amount is exactly half of the
amount the European nations must
pay the United States as interest
on their debts. If through this ar
rangement the United States could
economize in her yearly expenses the
equivalent of the interest due from
the allies, then without doubt the
United States might AFFORD to be a
lenient and generous creditor to
Europe.-LOpinione Qtalian, repub-
lican), Philadelphia

The Benefactor of the Blind,

Blind himself, Sir Arthur Pearson,
the British publisher, was a benefactor
to all who had lost their sight. His
prosperity as printer Of magazines
and newspapers enabled him to endow
institutions for the care and training
of the blind, and In other ways to help
those thus afflicted. His name through
out the British Isles was synonymous
with love and helpfulness for, the

ago as the result of an accident he
was mourned as a friend by many
thousands who had either themselves
enjoyed his beneficence or appreciated
its bestowal on others. He was

number of occasions since taking up

Farm Life q Foundation to Good
Character.

A good foundation for the character
of a youth lies in the opportunity
which he has in observing the ways
of nature and profiting thereby. He
learns that nature cannot be fooleo
even by the cleverest buffer. Every
one can deceive. but they only deceive
themselves whenever they attempt to
deceive society or humanity in gen
eral, which fact every one. sooner or
later, learns, though some become
convinced when it is too late:
when this knowledge that nature
repays only honest effort comes to the
farmer boy in his youth he will later
be ready to enter on the road OF life
armed with his own qualities of good
character, in which is the knowledge
that as he sows so he shall reap, and
that only through thorough, honest
and diligent work can he attain final
success in life.-Hospodar (Czecho-
sloyak), Omaha.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,
A Tribute.

A Tribute.
Oh, Dove Of Peace, you gently COO.
While others have their say.
You do not undertake to do
Too much in one short day.
Each year you makesa greater hit
AS loftier thoughts are stirred.
Oh, Dove Of Peace, we must admit
You are a wise old bird.
You listen to a battle threat,
But never leave your perch.
Your wings are often singed, and yet
You're not left in the lurch.
No flag OF conflict that's unfurled
Brings terror to your eyes.
Friend Dove, it's lucky for the world
You're tough as well as wise.

Ohio and the Supre.de Court.

Chief Justice Taft in his address to
the Ohio Society Monday night was
in characteristic mcd-jovial, witty
and thoroughly ag' keable. He COM
municated to the company the pleas
ure he was feelink.
1t is easy to believe that Mr.. Taft
is a contented man. After a distin-
guished career in politics, which, be-
ginning in small parochial office.
reached the slightest office in the coun-
try, he returned to his first love, the
law. and row presides over the high
est court under the government. He
is in the full vigor of his powers, and
has years of usefulness before him.
Very different was the case of the
Ohioan who presided over the Supreme
Court fifty-odd years ago. Salmon P.
Chase was a born politician. Politics.
not the law, had been his lure. He had
ernor of Ohio and then as Secretary
of the Treasury. But as his aim had
been the presidency, and he had
missed that, the black silk gown cov-
cred a restless and unsatisfied heart.
Nor did the chief justiceship, which
he had accepted reluctantly, put poll
tics entirely out Of his thoughts or
the thoughts of his friends. Ills name
appeared in presidential gossip TO the
end, and opinion was general that he
would leave the bench for a presiden-
tial nomination.
On the bench. as he had done else
where, Judge Chase acquitted himself
admirably Although the law had not
been his passion, he had mastered it..
and he administered it on the highest
plane Of judicial service.

Then came the war. He promptly
laid down the portfolio for the sword
and entered the army as sublieu-
tenant. Later he became a, full lieu
tenant and is the possessor of two
medals for military valos. During
tho final year Of the war Marquis
yenostA served as aide-de-camp to
Ger. Oin1. Italian commander-in-
chief, who is now in this country.
At the close of the conflict Marquis
venosta was appointed private sec
retary to Premier Nitti. Next he
gave up diplomatic life. but gladly
re-entered when called upon by his
government to perform his present
special service. He is thirty-four
years Of age, unmarried and speaks
