Like Scientific Notes.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Sometime ago we changed morn
ing papers because we liked your
editorial page. We still like it
saving an exception now and them
but the unique feature of the page,
your Scienrfic Notes and Comment
deserves special mention. 1t even
stones for The Gumps, 1t is re-
freshing to find something that -
new and at the same time virtually
important in its bearings upon life
There must be many people who
read il with interest, but fail TO
say so, it being a general disposi-
tion to keep quiet when we are
pleased, and write indignant letters
when the reverse is the case. Some
OF US do really appreciate the com
pliment when an editor sets some
thing before US that is neither
faxed nor predigested. 4 little
mental exercise is a good thing for
almost anyone. You have good
paper. an especially good editorial
page. and this scientific column is
one of your best features.

The Thrifty French.

THERE was once good old farmer and hi.
wife, in the State of Minnesota, who had been
pioneers together. They had worked and saved
until they had reached the time when they had a
surplus in bank and decided to invest it on the
farm. He wanted barn to replace the patch
work affair which was the original stable with ad
dtons. She wanted house. where there
would be comfort and convenience, with measure
of beauty He with the simple argument that
the barn would build the house for her, but
the house could never build the barn for him.
This same process of the logic of economics is
guiding the restoration OF North France. I The
work OF restoration began in the fields They were
reclaimed from the runous effects of shell fire and
made fit for cultivation. Next have come barns for
the stock and pens for the chickens. Last is to
come the farm homes. 1t is natural that the
French famous for their genuine thrift, should
adopt this policy. Yet it has been common in this
country.
The Pennsylvania Dutch were known for their
big red barns and modest dwellings. This example
spread and all through the countrys farm districts
it will be found that the barns have built the
more pretentious modern farm homes. No better
indication of the swift revival of North France
could come than this decision of the French to
earn before they spend themselves.
The early Scandinavians who came to the North
west States often lived in dugouts in hillsides, in
caves like the Trogodites until their labor their
fields and cattle earned home for them.
The has not spoiled the French. Their sac
rihces for their country have not given them the
false belief that their country owes them
life of ease. Sacrifice is but badge of nobility,
not of ideness nor clearinghouse ticket 1t
but test6es that what man can do for his country
or for others he do for himself. Sacrifice with
pay is not sacrifice; but genuine sacrifice shows
exactly the quality the French showing in
building for themselves the devastated regions
first the CROP then the barn and last, comfort for
themselves.

The Difference.

A CCORDING to report farm labor is abundant
~ in the fields of Kansas and the States south,
where the grain harvest is in full swing. The
wage is S. day, with board and bed. This is
about one-third of the prevailing cash rate year
ago, when it was almost impossible to get enough
men to save the crops. The present rate also is
still far above the prewar scale, which around
$50 month. OF course the element of board and
housing was, and remains, the
This same condition true in the cotton
States, and there will be the change when
the cotton harvest comes. Yet there still those
who wonder why the agricultural interests have
needed help, financial credits to tide them over
this crisis and then put them permanently
safe financial basis. They do not realize that while
the last crops, North and South, produced at
SIo-a-day labor scale, with other factors in pro-
portion the crops were sold at or near prewar
prices, some of them, indeed, below the average.
The producers had no way to hold up the price;
way to carry along and feed out their stocks.
Grains cattle and cotton all went down the tobog-
gan and hit the bottom. This has not been the
with finished products. The fabricators, whole
salers and retailers, have gone down the scale grad
ually. They have been able to clean out their high
priced stocks by process of progressive liquidation
They have had fair OF credit Their
repeated turnovers have enabled them to avail
themselves of the short-time banking privilege.
Thirty and sixty days means nothing to the
farmer. His turnover comes but a year for
all his bulk production. In meat cattle this is two
years. They must have long-term credit and be-
cause of this fact the commercial banks are not
o. ganized in their behalf They have some
other system, and it is this the McFadder-Kenyon
bill undertakes to Prov,js.

that Takoma Park is the largest
town in Montgomery County. i
suppose it is true; at any rate we

can we not have a telegraph office
there? All our messages must
come from Washington, which
means delay, and besides we are
expected to pay the messenger so
cents, which charge is not just
The majority of the messages of
importance come at night. Even
IL one has a phone, that is a most
unsatisfactory way either to send
or receive a message: rather than
do that, l would travel miles. Dur
ing the war 1 received a message of
great Importance late at night; the
boy left before 1 had time to read
it and to find it required an answer
l caught the last car to Washing

July LIST, among the government
employees. is a very important date
for those who are fortunate enough
to be paid from the so-called lump

in most of those bureaus and offices
the employees. from the highest to
the lowest. receive a promotion of
from $50 to 5000 per annum. based.
not upon efficiency necessarily, but
upon length of service or congress
sional pull" Last year It was the
tacit understanding they would be
promoted at least $50. which would
cover the retirement deduction. This
year 1t will, OF course. be more as
the bonus is very uncertain.
In one OF the great departments
we have recently observed three
employes-the chief clerk and two
chiefs OF division-have been Sc
lected to pass upon and recommend
promotions of the clerical employees.
The statutory employees in the same
great department are oependent
solely upon the chief clerks OF their
respective bureaus for whatever
promotions they are able to get,
and these can only be four in the
span OF a clerks life.
Oh hasten the day OF reclassihca-
ton when all shall be treated
equally and those receiving pro-
motion shall have merited it by
their work and not because they are
in lump sum bureaus.

it is sort of shock to find that anyone regarded
their multiplicity worthy Of notice.
Women bathers may trunks, provided they
come within six inches of the knees. No longster
may wear shortster's suit. They must be meas
Also, said trunks, as aforementioned must be draped
with skirt of equal length Moreover, the waist
of the aforesaid suit must come well up to the
neck Stockings are not mentioned; nor shoes.
But, if woman will, she may wear boomers
provided they are voluminous. The advantage of
bloomers is, that when in the water they act as
sustaining balloons. Anyone float in them;
swim in them. Nor, in the of
all that is intensely modest, should any unshapely
woman be permitted to be the object of human
gaze wearing wet boomers Then they are trunks
with wrinkles which wholly fail to conceal said
shape.
1t is, OF course, men that decided what women
should wear when bathing, just as men-only men
were selected to decide which the handsomest
bathing suits at the beach parade. 1t is cinch
the prizes will go to the handsomest girls, regard
less of the suits If these autocrats of the
bathing beach should ever rule that men bathers
must wear knee-pants and shirts there would be
a riot. But women, despite the Nineteenth amend

Work and Old Age.

@NCE there was a man who made himself
7 famous in the newspapers by p-oclaiming
that 50 years OF age men became useless to the
world He was merely stupid, which is worse than
being an abe-boded, cheerful liar for there is
old qup that the Lord loveth the cheerful liar" in
distinction, probably from those of the vindictive
order The Osler 5o-year Justification had its rum
and soon became joke.
. 1t is but twin of the other theory that died
OF overwork. They don't. Recently prominent
lawyer OF New York died, and his taking-of was
charged to overwork. 1t is a perfectly safe bet
that what allied him in him and that it did not
come from the outside which is the source oi work
Hard work. physical mental-and the more
they are interlockcd the better-never killed any
one. 1t is the great health preserver. What kills
man is worry, and usually it is worry over them
selves. Fussing. fretting, making mountains of
moehills, pessimism, cynicsm, self-nursing, self
commiseration-these may kill, but not hard work.
Work is accomplishment The two synonyms.
Work without accomplishment is dawdling; it is
chasing the Ego wrapped up in theory. Accom-
plishment is religion; by their fruits shall ye know
them.
There is other tonic like it; no medicine so
invgorating 1t is the expression Of self in terms
of usefulness. 1t is doing what men were put here
do. Being right does not kill anyone, and
working is just being right in the fullest human
sense Instead of passing from the scene Of active
value at 50, but reaches at that time that
confidence and sureness of touch which let him
put into his work the funess of his capacity.
This has been called the age OF young men. 1t
Is. in the that the older longer deny
to the younger the right of opinion and response
bility On the other hand, young men longer
accept age the badge of profound wisdom, just
any more accepts the dictum of wealth

the younger They work together. They spur each
other and to each is coming faith in the gospel
OF work as the saving health of the race, despising
