Is actual idleness.
The program for the conference has not been
announced. 1t viii not concern amy labor problems
or controversies. 1t will NOT be concerned with the
relation of capital and labor with wage scales or
hours OF work. 1t is indicated that exact condi-
tions will be shown and dependable information
given as to situation in all parts of the coun-
try. This will include, probably, comparative la
Dor demands and what employing projects are in
the near future. 3i.g.5
1t will be but small body whose judgment in
dividually will be most valuable. 1t will be thor
oughly practical round-table upon the one topic
unemployment. What, 4 any, remedies will be sug-
gested for the meeting to develop. Depend
ence may be placed wholly publicity or some
concrete suggestions may be made calling for action
through private governmental agencies. But it
surely will bring realization Of the actual condi,
tons that they cannot be met by charity; that the
benevolent approach is back number that unen,-
ployment is always preventablc and that one OF the
primary obligations of government is to prevent
widespread idlencss.

Worldwide Open Door.

CNECRETARY HUGHES has sent another note
= on mandates to the various governments i'm
raediately concerned. From the reported contents,
y would in a sense, to be preliminary OF the
Washington conference 1t is sort of extension
of the open-door policy to all the inundated regions
which would be wedge to bring like conditions in
the possessions of all countries This, indeed, is
the logical open door conclusion.
Freedom of world trade. the equal right of all
countries to sell, buy and exchange anywhere and
everywhere, with no other barriers than those COM
mon to all, is the best of peace agencies. There
may be preferential tariffs to countrys recog-
--ized possessions, but these would apply against
an others alike. There could however, be trade
sdSantzge nor privileged exploitation OF the re-
sources of country by another whose actual SOW
epegnty was not recognized
The Washington conference may be but prelim-
mary to settling lot of things in which all
tries are interested 1t is supposed to only
the Pacific; that is the Far East. But policy de-
termined upon good there. just and right and
equable between nations, hardly be kept from
gradual application to Africa, and the Near East

Clerks and Prosperity.

To the Editor, The wsshinstou Herald:
The prosperity Of this city depends
to a great extent upon the prosperity
OF the government clerks whose sal
AIRY spent in the city is the city's
greatest asset.
What would Washington be like in
one year IL the clerks were 10 take
a years vacation?
II IL Is true that the prosperity of
the city depends 20 much on the
money spent by the clerks, then II
seems to us that IL behooves the
merchants to induce the clerks to
do their buying here instead Of
patronizing mail-order houses in
New York. Boston or Chicago.
Suppose the government offices all
began work at 8 a. m. and closed at
$3.50 p. m, and the banks and stores
opened at 10 a. m, and closed at $50
p. m, would IT not help solve the traf-
ne problem by such a system Of
staggered" hours anj also kive the
clerks a chance to do their shopping
In daylight and not be compelled to
take annual leave" to buy a new
dress or hat
Under the present system the stores
close about the same time the ofiices
close and the same is true OF OPEN
ing. which causes the street cars to
be loaded with both store clerks and
government clerks. There is a rush
OF autos and street cars until you
can't hear yourself think and a couple
Of hours later you will see street cars
running almost empty.

and a chance to do some shopping.
the stores close during the same
time and the bank fearing some
clerk might start a savings account
closes its doors and lets the clerks
go fishing.

Muscle Shoals.
o the Editor, The Washington H.n.i:

To the Editor, The Washington Herati:
The dog got into the horse trough
but could not eat the food found
there and was unwilling to let the
horse eat what was suited to him.
So certain business firms, unable
to handle the business at Muscle
Shoals. are unwilling to let either
the government or Ford. or any
one else use the resources found
there. So they have united in a
protest to Uncle Sam and 70 all Of
the representatives OF the people
against any use of the dam or the
plants which will come into COM
petition with their business.
We have been fearing that such
concerns were exercising undue in
fluence in the affairs of the ma
ton. but that influence was some
what concealed. Now they have
come out boldly TO publish their
views. In doing so. they class the
plants, the dam. which il under
construction and the dam which is
to be built later. all under one head
and compound interest on all of
these costs for one hundred years
at the outlay OF such a sum.
They do not compound the inter-
est on what has already been ex-
pended and state what will be the
cost in one hundred years In case
the sale is not made.
They do not tell us how much
greater the Ford offer for these
plants is than that which was paid
for other military plants which have
been scrapped.
They do not even mention the
value and advantage of the opening
of the river to navigation which the
government promotes for the bene-
fit of the whole people.
They do not tell of the proposed
ultimate return of the most valu-
able part of the property to the
U. S. government and OF the agree
ment TO hand over the other part
(the plants) for use of the gov
ernment in case Of war.
They do not give a hint of the
cost to the government to main
tain in idleness this property witn-
out any income-that II may be
ready in time OF war
They overlook entirely the benefit
which would come TO the farmers.
TO the mechanics. to the small man
ufacturers. who could use the power
Of the river. and the help to the
great, army of laboring men who
would be employed nor do they give
a hint of the increased return in
the form of taxes. which would
come to both State and national
government. The United States fire.

Unemployment.

A THE time for the unemployment conference
"A comes near, interest in it increases. Unem-
piosment is the most important problem which
must have some solution. From mere force of habit
here has been no effort at solution except the
hackneyed, shopworn remedy of charity or semi
-charity-public authorities approached in spirit
sef benevolence, while the unemployed only ask
ing chance to work, and it is this chance to work
which must be provided
In New York City fund OF Ss5ooo has been
provided for unemployment commission to dup-
cate exactly what Associated Charities is already
organized to do. 1t will be money wasted. 1t will
go at the problem the wrong way We have Asso-
eisted Charities to furnish every possible item of in
formation of every case of need. We have the
Salvation Army to go among the poor, to receive

agencies for securing odd jobs and to relieve
hunger.
- These all necessary, only more necessary
than ordinarily. But they but makeshifts in

PLANTS DIGEST INSECTS

John. OF the Philadelphia Clinical
Laboratory. and Frank II. Jones. q
Wilmington. Del. has been study

They have found that the traps
of these plants contain digestive
ferments that are very similar TO
those that occur in the human stom-
ach. This is their story Of the way
in which the pitcher plant. living
in a bog, lures and devoUrs unsus-
pecting insects.
Glands on the lid and the out
side of the pitcher pour out a nee
tar which attracts insects. As the
insect sips the nectar. Il gradually
approaches and finally crosses the

species, resembled the pepsin Of the
animal stomach. In other species
it resembled trypsin. which causes
digestion in the animal intestine.
The liquid was found to exert its
digestive power when removed from
the pitchers and tested under the
proper conditions in the chsmicsl
laboratory. The absorption = the
products Of digestion by the pitcher
wallis was demonstrated in several
elaborate series Of experiment.
Certain bacteria grow in the oper
pitchers containing prey. sn6 ..est
bacteria were shown to possess
digestive power and to aid m the
digestion OF the prey.
The larvae or magEots of certain
flies live in the pitchers and Oh
tain their nourishment from th"
prey. These larvae were shown 70

STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. May 7.-Some of the advance registered by stocks earlier in the week was reduced during to- days short but irregular session on further realizing for-profits.
 Bearish influences were operative in the motors, oils, steels and other pop ular industrials, while rails, except in a few less important issues were dull and backward, in contrast to their re- cent accumulation.
 The stronger side was represented by several high grade coalers, obscure oils and miscellaneous issues having the support of bull pools. Losses out numbered gains at the uncertain close. Sales 3S5,000 shares.
 Pressure against the motors was ac- cimpanied by rumors of approaching trade war, further price reductions in automobiles being used as argument that teh industry was approaching the saturation stage.
 Firmness ruled in the bond market. Liberty and other domestic issues re- coSded only slight changes, with no
  special feature in the various foreign Rotations. Total sales (par .value) $5,375,000.
 Last weeks deficit in actual clear ing hosse reserves was replaced by an excess of about s3.6OO,O0O due to cash gain of slightly more than ST.OD0,O00 An increase of some ESQ., 750,O00 in loans and discounts was considered nominal in view of the ac- tiYity in the stock market
 Most of the foreign exchange mar kets continued to move upwards, pre- samably in expectation of early set tlement of the claims against Ger many. New high records for long leriod were made by French, Belgian and Italian bills.
