UNCLE SANS FUMIGATING
WATTS

90 RAPIDLY does the world move
nowadays, so numerous and va
ried are the wonders which are
wrought by the ingenuity of our ex-
perts in various lines and so quietly
is the work carried on, 1t frequently
happens that the general public knows
but little Of the marveIs that are
among US.
For instance, down on the Texas
border-at Laredo, to be eXact-the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture operates a f%umigating plant or
vat which is sufficiently largo to &C
commodate a train of fifteen freight
cars at one time. ,
Freight cars arriving In the States
from Old Mexico are infected with
live, pink bollworm-a pest which
feeds and devOurs the unripened pods
of the cotton plant, If permitted to
enter and scatter in this country, 1t
would, provided II gained much head
way, create losses running into the
millions Of dollars annually.
To prevent this loss and preserve
the crop, therefore, such cars are I'm
tremendously shunted into these watts
and the unwelcOme bOllwOrms aboard
accorded a Knockout reception.
This plant resembles a long, brick
shed. After the cars are received,
the doors are closed and the plant
the spot, the fumes Of which are sure
death TO bollworms. At the end Of
al hour or more, the gas is drawn Off,
the cars removed and sent on their
way and the plant is ready for the
next incoming train.
Other similar, but smaller, plants
are located at various coast points.

The Russian Situation.

Since the publication of Maxim Gorky's appeal to-
the world for aid in fighting famine and disease in Rus
sa the most extravagant and sensational reports of
conditions in that stricken country have been pub-
lishcd 1t is very difficult know how much to be-
licve and how much to discount propaganda Of the
political enemies Of the Bolsheviks who ferveny hope
that the end of the Soviet regime is in sight The att
titude of the Russian Communists is characteristic.
The moderate among them, like tenin, who hold
responsible positions in the government realize the need
of foreign aid and have accepted the offer Of Secretary
Hoover. The violent members Of this party who

" HE announcement in the House OF
Commons by the British prime min
lister that the supreme council of the
allies is to meet in Paris on August makes
it clear that the governments Of .:the entente
have reached an agreement on the method of
procedure towards the settlement of the Upper
Silesian dispute. A concession was made to
the French when the ambassadors of Italy and
England at Berlin joined with their French
colleague in demanding from Germany safe.
conduct for allied troops which might be sent
to Upper sSilesia IN the future. A concession
: to the British and Italians was made when
Premier BRAND agreed that the troops should
not be sent until the matter should have been
discussed at meeting Of the supreme council
The first thing, therefore, on the agenda Of:
the conference Of August 8 is this question
of reiHforcmeents for the troops in the plebis-
cite district. The principal matter is, of
course, the division of the territory in ac-
cordance with the piebiscite vote. On this sub
ject there is no indication that the French aii- |
thorities are any nearer an agreement than
they have ever BEEN France still is the advocate
of Polish claims and Great Britain is still in-s
sisting that these claims. are not justified by
the facts in the case. 5;ss
There are still ruu,ors that the European
nations involved IN the Upper Silesian dispute
would be very glad to have the United
States act as arbitrator, and it is frequently
reported that request for the intervention
of the American government will be made. !.
This, however. does not seem probable un-
less it proves to be wholly impossible for
France and Great Britain to reach a come
promise at the forthcoming conference.

1t is perfectly true that in home affairs and in
much of his foreign policy Lloyd George has many
enemies at home, but regards France the majority
of the British people think as he does and support
him in his political duel with BRAND, both men being
more friendly to each other than they appear, but
having to play to the gallery Of public sentiment.
Now the French official policy has been revealed
clearly Upper Slesia, and privately, as know,
by correspondence and conversation in unmistakable
ways. Their political philosophy mainly directed by
foreign office officials and military cques, is clear
cut and realistic They don't believe at all in
change OF heart in Germany and certain that if
she becomes strong again. and she becomes
strong she will seek revenge by another war Their
whole policy, therefore, is to prevent her from re-
gaining her strength But they under no illusions
to her present potentialtes.
They know Germany's population is increasing
while their own is decreasing. They know German
industry and organization bound to a strong
Germany whether not she pays ndemntes-ahd
stronger if she pays than If she does pay. They
reckon also, and believe their reckonings true,

Tildsley Calls Merger of
Schools and Politics Bad
If Officials Bow to the Mayor
They Don't Serve the People,
He Tells Michigan Alumni

DR.. John l.. Tildsley, Assistant Su-
perintcndent Of Schools, spoke on
schools and politics last night at the
regular monthly dinner Of the Alumni
Club Of the University Of Michigan at
the Aldine Club, Twenty-third Street
and broadway.
1t was but natural, he said, that q
Mayor should like to run the Depart
ment Of Education through the Board
of Education. As far as this city was
concerned, he declared, the Mayor liked
to say who should be superintendents
For that reason, he said, if school
superintendent yielded his will to that
of the Mayor he no longer represented
the 100000 people of New York, but
represented one man, politically
chosen official.
IF appointments to the higher Of
fices are made to please political lead
ers,' said DR.. Tildsley, "the result is
that the lower ranks, seeing no chance
of prom otion. give as little of thei,
effort as possible to the cause of edu-
eating the children committed to their
care. This is a very poor method to
use in conducting business which
calls this year for $S8,0O0,000 expendi-
lures"
DR.. Tildsley declared that If the
schools were to be taken out OF poll
tics it would be necessary to take the
Board of Education out OF politics.

rate from Paget Sound to Hawaii was
reduced from SIS to S12 a thousand

to Hawaii was the natural consequence
of the trend of business Hawaii uses
about 50.000,00o feet of lumber year,
which is carried in steamships and sail

The Scotch came into this country
several months ago. For couple Of
weeks past it has been rumored that E.

had seized $4,000 cases.
In addition to the revoking of the
Alps Drug Company's permit on No

Pine Log
Universities

AMES A. GARFIELD'S def
j milton OF a university as a
log in the woods with Mark
Hopkins at one end and a stu
dent at the other was a generous
tribute to a great teacher. 1t
was also true-but only par
tial truth.
You can make ammonia by rub
bing dry quick'ine and ammonia
chloride together by hand in a
mortar. but industry can hardly
be supplied in that way with the
millions of cubic feet Of am
monia it needs every year. No
more can modern commerce. in
dustry, medicine, and law be
adequately supplied with ex-
ecutives. accountants, statesmen,
physicians, lawyers, by giving
teachers--however near the
Mark Hopkins standard ~ an
equipment of bare logs.
During the ten years in which
] have acted as chief executive
of a force of more than 500 men
and women who minister to the
needs of some ten to fifteen
thousand students, the problem
they have most frequently
brought to NE is that of provid-
ing sufficient facilities to make
their work efficient.
IF / were head of a manufacture
ing establishment the solution
would be relatively simple. I
should promptly scrap equip
rle.,t that was obsolete and in
adequate; should provide more
floor space and new machinery
when convinced that their use
would yield dividends.
But the product of university
is IN the tangible torn of human
character and service. It's profits
are paid to the whole community
III a form that cannot be used to
finance classroons and labora-
tories.
Even now the University is pay
ing dividends to the whole com
muaity. These dividends would
be far larger if the community
could realize, as keenly as a col
lege president must realize, the
TACT that even a good teachers S
effectiveness is impaired when
ne is compelled to work with
pine log equipment.

Hold-Up Men Wea!se:s and

Two hold-up men who had revolver
but not much nerve undertook to hold
up the Commercial Hotel, at 254 Fulton
Street, Brooklyn, last ght.
William Schnurr, the night clerk,
started for the gate to his pen instead
OF putting up his hands, and one of the
hlghwaymcn remarked nervously, "Gee,
we better beat it'll"
They followed this suggestion so pre-
clpltately that one of them ran straight
into the arms of Serkcant Walsh at
the corner and was locked up at Pop
lar Street police station, charged with
attempted robbery. The prisoner said
he was Elmer Deems, a former sailor
he had no home nearer than Georgia.
