A Shadow of Coming Events.

FORMING agrarian bloc in both houses of
i congress has caused no little comment and,
to many, seems to be the shadow of coming events
1t is not wholly thing in this country, but it
is the most pronounced and most frankly pro-
claimed of its kind. Is it the beginning of the end
of two-party government. Maybe and maybe not.
This has not always been two-party country.
In recent years there have been the granger popu-
list, greenbsck, silver and labor parties as we'll as
the various brands of socialists. But of recent
years there have been tendency of another kind
which has been grouping within the two parties
of those who advocated certain distinctive economic
and social policies. This raises distinction be-
tween party principles and prejudices-possiby this
is distinction without difference-and political
policies
During the and afterward there was DOM
mating inclination which made men vote nationally
Congressmen followed this, largely disregardng
party ties and discardng party segregation, under
the impulse of nationalism which came TO be more
than 1t is hardly to be seriously ques-
TONED that this has had persisting influence to
make members have broader view, rather more
inclnnive outlook, than mere party fealty.

Mount Vernon.

THE association of women who saved Mount
i Vernon and have so long controlled it, pre-
serving it for the people, ready to surrender it
to the government That it should be owned by the
people; that it should be open and free to all
Americans, and their guests; that there should be
fee, is as evident that the Washington monument,
OF the Capitol ITSELF should have this relation
to Americans.
Mount Vernon is than the home of
George Washington. 1t is more than his iast rest
ing place. 1t is this republic in the same as
was Washington. 1t is there, and there alone
Americans go to their faith in themselves
as sef-governing people 1t is there they clarity
their vision and strip from their minds all the trap
pings and nonessentials of these modern days
There they get back to the old and simple fun
damentals OF citizenship of moral strength, of right
and wrong and the basic truths which insti-
tuons rest. In its quietudes and its untouched
tural beauty; in the very presence of Washington,
there be place for the false, the untrue, the
narrow and the selfish. There is the rugged power
OF every cause which is based solely the rights
OF man.
1t assures to every man and every woman as a
heritage the supreme title of gentleman and gen.
tewoman, the only title by inheritance known to
Americans equally granted to the lowly as to the
highly born, the poor as to the rich and inalen-
able, cast aside by the brsggart and the
bully the sneak and sodden, the mean of spirit
and the craven, and they not Americans. They
do not measure up when standing at the tomb of
Washington, who simple American
gentleman. -
All should be free to go and free to come to
drink deep of such waters. There is the fountain
head of government and its institutions What
ever do, it will be clear and pure. AS Mount

rightly. We not yet poor in purse or spirit

bloc is rather personal to President Harding, than
to party it is rather in support of the government
In British, French and Italian FORM than of the old
party form. Yet even here there is small group in
his party so independent that they rather like
the man who always ate with his knife to evidence
his individuality.
There has been for tine labor bloc, in
congress, more or less under cover. There has
been the waterways group. less identified
with the farm group. There are the irrigatonists,
the natural resource reservationists and the west
coast members whose bette noir is Japan. The open
action of the agrarians will encourage the others to
closer and franker organization
How long. then, will it be before these groups
begin to combine to control congress- more or less
regardless of the administration. whatever who
ever that may be? Republican and democrat in
name, and possibly to international policies in its
many phases. it may weIl be that domestic policies
will be controlled by combination of these bocs,
and members be elected republican democrat,
but really they gusge the pulse of their districts
on these CT rtan domestic issues Indeed this last is
really not of the future; it is quite a present-day
fact.

CHICAGO. June 3.-Mme Curie.
famous woman scientist. stopped off
in Chicago today for a few hours
on her way west. The co-discov-
erer of radium was met at the train
by a committee which had planned
to show her the city. She appeared
to be more interested in the Chi
cago river, which flows up hill.
than any of the other attractions
of the city.
Nine. Curie made a strange con-
trast to the magnificent settings of
the Blackstone hotel. where she
stopped for two hours. She wore

NATURAL GAS WASTE
COSTS MILLION DAY.

Two and one-half million domes-
tic Consumers Of natural gas in this
country are wasting l.5Oo. .Ooo. .oO0
cubic feet OF this decreasing fuel
each year, according TO studies that
nave Just been completed by /. V.
Brumbaugh and q. B. Shawn. of the
bureau of standards. The ARTIFICIAL
gas that must some day be used TO
replace this enormous loss will cost
the country S575.0oo.0oO a year, or
over Sl,OoO.Ooo a day at the present
cost of 3l.25 per Thousand cubic
feet.
Faulty and inefficient appliances
are causing this depletion of a
valuable and strictly limited natural
resource, which il is generally
recognized will be entirely eI-
hausted in a comparatively few
years IL waste continues at the
present rate, these experts say.
The ordinary burner that is used
on cooking stoves in most natural
gas regions is often only 6 per cent
efficient, while with but a slight
change in the construction and ad-
justment OF the burner and stove
il can often be made SO per cent ef-
ficient or give eight times as much
heat for the same amount Of gas.
Some types Of hot water heaters
are condemned by the tests which
showed that they consume more gas
in a day than would be reqoired in
1 month il they were efficiently de-
signed. On the average each do
mestic consumer wastes at least
5000 cubic feet OF natural gas a
month. the report declares.
Solid tops for gas stoves should
not be used when cooking is being
done, as they scatter the heat out
into the room. is one recommended
ton Grids should be used instead.
and for natural gas the pans should
be placed one inch above the burner,
not two and a half to three inches
as is usual in present stoves. Most
of the burners should be fed more
air. and the experts point out that
this will eliminate the yellow gas
flame and the troublesome carbon
deposits on the bottom of pans. The
tests have also shown that better
results would be obtained IL the
gas companies would supply gas at
much lower pressures than now,
provided the appliances were de-
signed for such use.
Appliances for artificial gas are
now being Investigated TO determine
what improvements and savings
may be made in their use. Early
results OF the work show that many
of the causes Of natural gas waste
are also present in the msnufsc-
tured gas appliances, and that many
of the same principles apply to both
gases.
The present waste Of natural gas
| is a heritage OF the early days when
this fuel was used eNtrsvagantly
for all purposes. Streets at one
time were lighted with natural gas
flares that burned day and night.
and the supplies were even un-
metered.

empire distinct from the old German states.
They will stand for the new "kultur,' rather than

This spirit recently shown when former

NJ. Viviani sees menace may prove Germanys
salvation.
No reactionary group a group, can stop her
progress to more democratic development Con-
siderable groups never long hold control That de-
mands one, single dominating personality or the
monarchical form. Germany hasn't the and has
lost the other. Her rule will come gradually, but
more and more completely from the bottom up.
The more the intellectuals and employing masters
undertake to stop this and to guide the national
trend, the more they will hasten the other develop
ment.
The real Germans always in a measure resented
Prussan arrogance, as centered in the crown. They
quite sure to have much greater resentment
of it in group form without the glamour and mill
tary trappings. No country is better prepared in
average intelligence for popular control and Ger
man stesdness will aid in this. Revolutions never
establish themselves over night. Old habits not
