CITIZENS TO ASK
aid OF CONGRESS
FOR LOWER FARES
Reduction for School
Children Closed Issue
With Commissioners.

Undaunted by the Public Utility
Commissions adverse ruling on the
question of reduced car fare for Dis
trict school children, the various
citizens associations and trade or
ganizations intend to solicit the aid
OF Congress. This was learned last
night after a canvass of all inter-
sted parties.
James c. Wright. 512 7 street
northwest. the author of the plan,
has already sent a petition to the
Capitol asking for legislation which
will give school children no less
than six-tickets for a-quarter
rate.
Soon after the proposition was
first brought to public attention the
Board of Education placed its stamp
of approval on it, and it appears
that il any impetus is given the
plan they will again come to the
front in the interest of the school
children.
Ham Opposes Plan.
George Z. Hamilton. president Of
the Capital Traction Company, has
stated that he would be glad to con-
Nidti aIlNlh6 'llt oCilOOl ShllNl CA a
reduced rate II it is permitted by
law. william f. Ham, president of
the Washington Railway and EleC-
trio Company, however, has frankly
opposed the entire proposition.
Miss Mabel T. BOardman, District
Commissioner. said last night that
so far as the Public Utilities Com
mission is concerned the question
of granting school children reduced
car fare is a closed subject.
If the proposition is to receive
any encouragement it must come
from Congress, all interested par.
ties agree.
Could Not Discriminate.
Miss Boardman points out tha,
there are a number of VeNing Ques-
tions which must be threshed out
IN connection with the plan. Among
these is the adopting OF a scheme
where the school children would be
unable to take advantage OF the re-
duCed rate, If granted. when they
were not actually going or coming
from school.
There are very few school chill
dren in the District" Miss Board
man continued. who need this re.
lief OF course the high school sru'
dents are practically the only ones
who do not live within walking
distance Of their school"
George f. Hamilton, president o.
the Capital Traction Company. said
last night that he had not been APP
preached on the question since tn'
ruling Of the Public Utilities Com,
mission late last year when th'
commission decided the matter did
not come undcr their jurisdiction
and il il did they had no power t
discriminate in the classes of peo.
pie who use the city's common car.

DRIVE LAUNCHED
TOSAVE FORESTS
Stress Laid Upon Necessity
For Action to Reduce
Fires.

A nationwide campaign against
the destruction Of the forests in this
country is being launched by the
National Forest Fire Committee
with particular stress being laid
upon the necessity for a reduction
in the waste caused by fires.
One in every twenty people in this
country are dependent upon the for
esLs and their products for living,
according to a bulletin issued by
the committee. for more people are
employed in numbering and in wood
using factories than any other in
dustry except agriculture.
The present acreage of forests in
this country is slightly inadequate
for the needs of the people and, the
bulletin points out. it is therefore
highly important that every means
should be taken to prevent any loss
by FIRE or Carelessness, and that
more care should be taken in the
matter Of planting young trees so
that the land where a tree is cut
down does not become useless.

FINDS new FACT
ABOUT DIAMOND
Least COmpressible Substance
Known, Carnegie Expert
Demonstrates.

After subjecting over $1,000
worth Of diamonds to hydraulic
pressures up to 145.0 900 pounds per
square inch, Dr. L. II. Adams, of the
GeophysiCal Laboratory of the Car
negie Institution, has for the first
time determined that the diamond,
now known as the hardest thing on
earth, is also the least compressible
substance known.
IF diamond were buried 100
miles below the surface of the
earth the pressure due to the super
incumbent rock would decrease the
volume only about three-quarters
Of one per cent" Dr. Adams says.
The great pressure used in the
experiment was applied by means
of powerful hydraulic press that
forced piston into heavy steel
walled tomb containing the dia-
mOnds surrounded by kerosene \
delicate coil of "therlo" wire, whose
electrical resistance changes with
pressure. was used to measure the
exact pressures applied. For COM
parison, duplicate experiments were
made on steel Of known compressl-
bility.
Contrary to what is commonly
believed, no apprehension need be
telt in SuEjeCting diamonds or oiher
homogeneous substances to the
enormous pressures just so long "a
the pressure is strictly hydraulic. or
uniform in all directions" said Dr.
Adams in explaining that the dia-
mOnds went through the experiment
unframed
The work on the Compressibilitv
Of the diamond was done as a part
OF the laboratOry's task of determin-
ing the various chemical and physi-
CA constants Of the substances that
make up this earth. This elemental
Cata of pure science is needed so
that the general laws governing ma
ture can be found and applied to
perfect practical mechanical meth
DDS and materials. It has been
found that the low compressibility
OF the diamond is intimately related
to its high melting point. its low
expansion CoeffiCient and it's high
atomic frequency.
The nearest competitor to the dia-
mond, tungsten, is nearly twice as
Compressible, and the majority of
solids decrease their volume more
than ten times as much for a given
increment of pressure. Steel is
nearly four times as compressible.
and granite. the other modification
CT carbon of which the diamond is
composed, is nineteen times as com
pressible.

Landis' Statement.

CHICAGO. Feb. l3-Judge Kene-

American Legion post.

Judge Landis, in referring to Sen

~ 49,
The occupation weighs heavily upon
large parts of our Fatherland, but
still more heavily does the continual
threat of further occupations weigh
upon us east of the Rhine. The col
ored troops are the pillar of Frances
power; without them there is no pos
sibility of continuing the present oc-
cupation, of threatening further occu-
patton and of carrying out the Treaty
of Versailles in all its cruelty; no
possibility to drag the last COW out
of our stables, and thus to kill further
hundreds of thousands of German
women and children! Once the black
Frenchmen have gone, we shall be
able to come to an understanding with
the white Frenchmen-because then
they will be under compulsion.
Besides these political considera-
tons, which are only suggested, there
are for us physicians other very seri-
Gus, purely medical factors to inspire
us to protest vehemently to the neu-
trails and the United States against
this Black Shame, for, unarmed as we
are, we can only proclaim to foreign
countries, through our relatives and
friends, this horrifying disgrace to
civilization
This is necessary, for it is a quite
general belief that the colored French
men have long since left Europe. If
one writes to a foreign friend about
these atrocities, one receives the as
tonished reply: "Why, have the black
A.zz.z .oA~-oJo 30 TLaA = ~. 80.
tude toward the Black Shame in for
eign countries, that is the attitude
even in circles most friendly to Ger
many; that is how the foreign press
works, and we Germans do nothing
about it'll We must do something! If
the government has no money, if its
hands are tied by the treaty, then
every individual German must con-
tribute to the dissemination of the
truth-every single one.
And with regard to the Black
Shame, precisely we physicians should
be active. Every one of us!
For the Black Shame is the mulat-
t~o-ization and the specification of our
people, the physical and spiritual ruin
of our health. Shall we endure in 81
lence hat in future the croaking
sounds of grayish, 1ow-browed, broad
mouthed, plump, bestial, syphilitic
mulattos be heard on the banks of the
Rhine, instead of the bright songs of
beautiful, well-developed, intelligent,
active, healthy Germans? For syph-
Ills is raging among the black sons of
France even more than among her
white sons. The "grande nation" has
given over the dregs of its Partisan
prostitutes to its black children, that
they might be infected. France knows
what it is doing!
Too weak to carry out the occupa-
ton with exclusively white troops;
conscious of the fact that, once the
occupation ceases, every possibility of
new murderous, statistic extortions
will cease, too, it has not only intro
sduced the blacks into the land-it
has introduced them in a diseased
state. Herewith it would kill seven
birds with one stone:
/. 1t can use extortion against Ger
many freely.
2. 1t spreads disease among our
people.
8. 1t gets rid Of the men capable Of
bearing arms in its colonies.
A. These men usually die in the cold
north.
5. 1t has in the black troops also 9
dreadful weapon against the enemies
of its own government IN its own land
6. 1t humiliates Germany.
