Two Caricatures.

Speaking at meeting at wellesley
Mass, Monday. Secretary Of Labor
Davis said: This Is time above all
others when we need to trust each
other. Even that is not enough. We
must not only trust, we must help
each other.''
True. to the letter. But before the
Secretary's suggestion can bear fruit
there must be a revision Of appraise-
ments.
Take the appraisement Of the en-
ployer the employe is asked to accept
and too often does accept: A man who
has no sympathy with the wage
Garner; will. II he can. grind him to
the last degree; thinks only in terms
of dollars and cents; would II he could
establish veritable industrial slavery
IL that Q true portrait Of the average
employer? On the contrary. Ii it not
n caricature, unjust and mischievous?
Take the appraisement Of the en-
pioye the employer is asked to accept
and too often does accept: A man CON
stantly scheming to give as little as
possible in return for his wages; with.
out pride in his work, or interest be.
yond his wages in the industry he
serves; who wants the hours Of work
reduced to the lowest poiIt and his
wages lacked up to and kept at the
top notch. Is that not an unjust and
1nischievous caricature Of the average
employe?
And yet those two caricatures are
doing duty. and play large part in
the troubles and distrust that afdict
the Industrial world. What better
thing could happen than the casting
out Of both. and the substitution OF
hortraits limned according to the
truth?

Spruce Up for November IL!

A little more than ten weeks hence
the great disarmapent conference
called by President Harding will as.
semble in this city. Delegates from
five foreign nations. accompanied by
attaches and experts to the number
Of perhaps a thousand in all, and at.
tended by representatives of the press
Of the woxld. will come to Washington
for that occasion. In addition there
win probably be hundreds Of unofiicial
observers. The American capital viii
be the scene Of gathering unparal.
leled in its history. These people will
remain seyeral weeks. perhaps months.
They will study Washington closely,
many Of them being here for the first
time In their liXes. Thus the city will
be under close scrutiny.
The District Commissioners. taking
cognizance Of this situation. are call
ing upon the people Of the District
to Shine up the city" They have is
sued a proclamation asking everybody
to correct unattractive conditions, to
clean vacant lots, to remove or repair
unsightly buildings. to spruce up all
yards. An ofncial survey 10 to be
made to note all these conditions, so
that in case the owners Of property do
not Of their own initiative take steps
to remedy unsightliness in all forms
the Commissioners will themselves
move.
1t is unfortunate that such special
promptjRes are necessary to cause the
District property owners and house
holders to keep the city clean and at
tractive in appearance. They should
do this Of their own accord constantly
as q habit. But q tumble-down shed
or a weed-grown, refusestrewn lot
may become a habit" It does not
obtrude itself upon the notice Of those
accustomed to 1t. It 10 accepted as
something usual and tolerated. It
takes a 9row impulse to awaken a
sense of dnfitiess.
The time Of the disarmament confer.
ence Is not the most propitious for q
visit to Washington. BY November IL
the foliage is practically all gone from
the trees and the city Is thus stripped
Of one Of its greatest glories. But the
buildings are here, the fine lines Of the
streets remain, the perspectives are
unchanged save in the framing. Wash
ington is Just as comfortable and at
tractive in it's unchanging aspects as
ever. And for that reason it is the
more necessary to note now and cor
rect in season the disfiguring condt
tions.
Whether the conference results
successfully or not. let all Washing
tonians combine to send the delegates
away with the impression that this is
the wonderful city, hospitable, con-
siderate and beautiful.

The association protested against

If the producers do not live
up to this standard, the reso-
luton threatened them with OK

association would assist in the
prosecution of offenders.
The resolution banned fms

which "emphasize and eXag-

on commercialized vice" or
which make drunkenness,

The speaker brought out the
point that in attempting to abro-

Upon the return of the railroads to

ALLIES SUBMIT NEW
OUTLINE TO GERMANS

London, March 6.-From a
French source Reuters Limited
learns that at the second meeting
of the supreme council the allies
fixed a basis on which they are pre-
pared to admit new German pro-
posals, and an outline was COM
municated to the Germans.
The discussion at the first meet
ing tonight centered on the propo-
sails drawn UP by Herr Schroeder,
German finance minister, COM
prising chiefly acceptance of the
annual payments fixed at Paris for
the first five years, with the pos
sibility of revision at the eXpira-
ton thereof; an increase in the
proposed IL per cent tax to 80 per
cent; issue of an international loan
of eight billion gold marks and
the conclusion Of commercial treat
les providing, in effect, for the
abolition of the inequality clauses.
All this, however, was conditional
on Germany retaining Upper 81
lesia.
During a keen discussion. says
Reuters, this offer was recognized
as quite unacceptable Finally. the
allies agreed to a project initiated
by Mr.. Lloyd George, the principal
points of which are:
Germany to pay three billion gold
marks for thirty years instead Of
forty-two years; a levy in the i'm
porting countries of 80 per cent on
German exports, with a fixed and
guaranteed minimum.

21 CASES SLEEPING
SICKNESS IN TEXAS
SINCE JAN. |, 1921

Austin, Texas, March 6,-There
have been twenty-one cases or
sleeping sickness in Texas since
January /, according to the rec
ords of the state board of health.
Ten were reported in February
and eleven in January.
DR.. Manton NJ. Carrick, state
health officer, said that but two
of the cases have proved fatal and
that so far as the state board of
health knew the other patients
had either recovered or were well
on the way to recovery.
In a statement dealing with the
disease, known as lethargic en-
cephalis, DR.. Carrick said, "The
length of communicability is, of
course, unknown, on account of
the unknown etiology. At the
present time we are not quaran-
timing for the disease, but every
case should be given instructions
as to proper isolation.
"The vast majority of patients
are in young adult life. The age
incident of this disease parallels
with that of influenza of the 1918
type"
