PeIIagra and Income.

After three-year study of pellagra
in the cotton-mil villages of South
Carolina, the United States public
health service shows that pellagra
varies inversely with the family in
come in this locality. AS the income
fell the disease was found to increase
and to affect more members of the
same family. AS the income rose the
disease decreased, and was rarely
found in families that enjoyed the
highest incomes, even though this
highest was still quite low.
A recent statement given by one Of
the large life insurance companies in
dicates that the food standards Of
Southern wage earners must have i'm
proved remarkably Of late, for the
death rate from pellagra has fallen
from 81 per 100000 in 1915 to 2.3 in
1919.

FIGURED In HISTORIC PAST
Time of Abraham Now in
Pennsylvania Museum.

In the dim old days of the patriarch
Abraham people looked very much as
they do now, judging from the oldest
representation of human figures I'M
earthed by the toiling brotherhood of
Psychologists. Two striking figures,
one standing and one seated, are in
Guided in the elaborate design of the
clay seal, or postage stamp" which
has excited the enthusiasm of DR.. Lee
grain, curator of the Babylonian sec
ton of the University of Pennsylvania
museum.
DR.. Legrain has figured out the in
scriptionS of the little tablet as indi-
eating that it dates from the period
when Cur of the Chaldees," mentioned
in Genesis in connection with the his
tory of Abraham, was a flourishing
kingdom. And he finds reason to be-
lieve that the seated figure, decorated
with founces of beautiful ACCORDION
plating, is a portrait of his majesty
Ibi-Sin, the last king of Ur and pos
sibly an intimate friend of the Father
of Israel.
To the modern eye both figures are
remarkably well drawn and lifelike
In attitude, especially considering the
fact that they were modelled in clay
on very small scale. DR.. Legrain
thinks the tablet served the double
purpose Of seal and a postage stamp
on sack of money forwarded to
banker named Shnlpae by his rever-
ence the high priest of the temple of
Or, at which Abraham Worshiped.

Much Gasoline Wasted.

About one-third of the gasoline used
in automobiles is wasted. This is the
conclusion reached by A. @. Fieldner
of the United States bureau of mines,
from experiments under traffic condi-
tions to determine the air pollution Of
the vehicular tunnels under New York
city. The waste is chiefly due to too
rich gasoline mixture. 1t is estimated
that an improved and practically au-
tomato carburetor might save Ameri-
can auotmobilists $34,OO0,O00 a year.

The United Stat. And The Peace
Settlement

The controversy that has arisen in connection with
the mandates given to of the Allied nations under
the Versailles treaty direct result of the failure Of
the senate of the United States ratfy that treaty
Had ratification been promptly made it is be pre-
sumed that the American representatives would have
participated in the allotment of these mandates and that
an arrangement would have been made satisfactory
them
None the less this controversy, and whatever perls
involve is equally the result of the
folly that pledged this nation to approval of treaty.
without proper authority to make such pledge, and
after formal notice had been given by the senate that
such approval would not be given.
The present secretary of state to be very
plainly within his rights in insisting that arrange
ment to which this nation is not party is not binding
upon this government The United States is clearly in
cluded those to whom title to the German i'm
peral overseas possessions passed. but the United
States has not at time in any way transferred
its share of that title Further Secretary Hughes makes
perfectly ear that it is not question of claiming
division of the spos of war in such way gain an
exclusive title to any part of them but rather claim
for the United States equal right with other natiops
in the of certain property which it greatly to our
national interest to possess.
1t is to be hoped that the other nations concerned
both in Europe and in Asia, will understand that this
claim of the United States is in the nature of appeal
to that sense of reasonabeness and of fair play, which
ought to be part of the foundation of all international
dealings. The United States is not urging a national
claim that is to be supported by force if necessary
1T is rather presenting statement of facts from which
it must appear to famnded that the United States
is justly entitled to all that it claims.
Thus far there believe that the argu-
nen of the Americans will be considered in any other
spirit than that in which it is given. 1t is true that
certain persons and certain newspapers, in the United
States and elsewhere will Immediately jump to the
conclusion that the United States is ready go to
to get possession of Yap and that Japan other
nation is ready to fight to keep the United States from
getting its Just duesor from eizng something to which
it has just title.
The most probable outcome is that the controversy
will be settled peacefully and reasonably, and that it
will take its place in history example of the right
way to reach agreement upon matters of international
differences.

The British Revolution

1t is not falsehood exaggeraton to speak of the
present conditions in the British empire those of
revolution. The organized rebellion against the i'm
peral authority in Ireland, the disturbances in India
that are symptoms of deep and widespread popular
discomfort, and finally the great strike of the coal
miners in England Scotland and Wales, which is taxing
The utmost power of the government to prevent
nomic and possibly political collapse, may fairly be
considered to constitute period of revolution tho
of the usual incidents of revolution lacking,
and othe- incidents commonly associated with
lutions prominent to the view of observers
There is ground for the claim that in general way
the present government of Great Britain and larger
degree the government of the British empire has had
the approval of the people, and that both the national
and the imperial government have existed ''by the
consent of the governed How long that condition
will continue, whether it exists at the present time
is matter of uncertainty. And it is also fact freely
admitted by most of those who live under the British
flag that in theory, if not in fact, the British system
of government, in many of its essential features
archaic obsolete and out of harmony with the facts Of
modern life and the principles of modern thought.
British history is not without its examples of
luton by violence, in which existing institutions have
been shattered and the nation has been suddenly
formed and better constitution. But British
history conspicuous in its examples of revolu
tions of another kind in which, result of public
sentiment aroused to action great reforms have been
accomplished not without incidents of violence, but
without those catacysms of political destruction such
have been crucial in the politics of other nations and
have be considered characteristic of all
olutions
It reasonable therefore, to expect, result
of present conditions and of events in Ireland
India and in England radical changes in the political
constitution of the empire such changes will establish
upon consistent foundation those principles of
popular elfovenmept that have been made effective
to astonishing degree in the affairs of that nation
The abolition of theoretical privileges and of other
privileges that exist by suffernncc, larger
of constitutional democracy and in general the
tablshment of the popular sentiment that the people
are and of right ought be- the of all political
power and authority the certain results Of the British
revolution, in actual course.
If these results be accomplished without n reign
os terror it will be such triumph of British poise and
intelligence could be expected from other race
but triumph that should be expected from consid-
Grafton of other revolutions thru which the British ma
tion has progressed since Saxon kings first laid the
foundation of modern England
