CHINESE FAITH

written exclusively for Universai service
There have been signs OF dis

Have the Chinese already given up
hone that the conference will achieve
ANYTHING substantial? We must try
10 picture to ourselves the relationship
of the vast Chinese people far away
across the Pacific to the group OF
diplomats who are now sitting IN our
midst.
The Chinese millions have come Tor
ward with a moral demand. they ASK
for a great wrong TO be redresseo.
They suffered sore encouragement at
paris. When America called the new
conference, they believed that an APP
peal for justice would now be heard.
II was to a court Of public opinion
that they desired to appeal. but the
washington conference Is not q court.
II is not a tribunal before which evil
doors may be summoned Acts which
in private life would be crime give
rise to claims which may be asserted
with complete cock-sureness. The
washington meeting Is a conference
in which the great powers consult. but
not a court in which they try each
others wrongs. 1t 10 meeting In
which the polite conventions have to
be observed.
The Chinese appeal, therefore, broke
against the bars Of an artificial legal

the treaty arrangements that. willing

DEATHS FROM FIRE
IN YEAR ARE $4,000
MORE THAN 10000 WERE IN
JURED. PROPERTY LOSS IN
II MONTHS 500 MILLION.

BOSTON, Mass.-Last year nearly
$4,000 persons were burned to death
with approximately 20,006 injured, a
large percentage of whom were lnJur-
ed permanently and made public
charge on our citizenship, T. Alfred
Fleming, of the national board OF ire
underwriters of New Yorks city, told
the automotive section of the national
safety council congress here.
"a classification of these losses
shows that over 20 per cent are wo--
men and children of school age and
under. This classification shows that
the home and the school have. been
NEGLECTED in our great scheme OF safe
ty education. 1t also shows the. effect

safety in the shop and factory.
"Coincident with the loss OF life the

quoted by w. E. Mallalieo, general

of which is due to carelesssnesss OF Cit

OF nearly S1,50O,O00 a day is paid for
by every citizen of the nation. 1t is
generally considered that these losses
are borne largely by insurance COM
panies, which is true, but insurance
companies are only collecting and dis

are compelled to require increased rates

Oats planted by the middle of No
vember will mature few days earlier
in the spring than oats planted at a
later time, according to the extension
division of the Georgia State College
OF Agriculture, They will get much
more of their growth in the early
spring when there is more moisture
than necessary. This taking advantage
of the moisture when it is present will
in most cases mean larger yields OF

Many people are in the habit of wait

their oats, thinking that larger yields

Merging Gold Supply.

Now that a considerable and constantly in
ereasing supply of gold is accommodating in the
United States the proposition comes that all
the gold of the world be merged into one res
ervoir for general world purposes. This is
the proposition that comes from one OF the
leading fnanciers Of the country, and it needs
to be carefully studied. 1t is possibly a plan
advanced in the interests of powerful CO.
terie of international bankers who are finding
that the concentration of gold in this country
upsets some of their schemes of world control
of money 1t is an astounding fact, however,
that about half of the worlds supply Of the
precious metal is locked UP in the vaults of
banks and sub-treasuries, and perhaps there is
too much lopsidedness about the distribution
for the good of the world.
Still any organization that was to control
the gold supply Of the world would have
tremendous power, and necessarily it would
have to represent all the nations of the world.
1t is true also that properly handled, not for
private gain, but for the worlds veal, it might
be a great power for the equalization of the
financial burdens of the world, and might be
so used as to be great blessing. or course
this view is a very large and comprehensive
one and of such vast dimensions that one must
consider it extensively to understand what it
might mean to the world. 1t is not to the ad-
vantage of the world to have one country
rolling in wealth and another in abject misery,
and it would be a happy condition of affairs
If there was a fair measure of financial means
for all so that all could live and enjoy the
blessings of normal existence. Possibly some
such scheme, under proper auspices. might
lead to warId movements to settle other great
economic ills. and even to the abatement of
war itself If there was the common under
standing that none of this gold should be adj
vanced for war purposes.

Handicaps to Matrimony.

Occasionally Won will notice in The Argus
an advertisement in which man or woman
is seeking correspondence with a view to mat
rimony. There is nothing remarkable Or abb
normal about this desire, nor is it an uncom-
mon thing for persons so inclined TO make
their wishes known through the newspapers
The Argus, however, does not cater to this
particular want in its advertising columns nor
does it intend to transform its department of
communications into matrimonial column. y
recent letter is plainly not from woman of
the type that commonly uses public agencies
for husband seeking purposes. 1t bears cyl
sdence of being a sincere presentation of a con-
dition that may and does doubt often occur
that of loneliness in a situation where the
opportunities of meeting of the desired
class are few.
For that matter the situation is not con-
hned to women, but may be experienced by
men, for though men are usually ready enough
TO seek out wives after their own tastes, there
are among them those who, retiring or lacking
confidence in themselves, or, for one reason
or another not to their discredit, are not in
touch with social life, fail to meet women who
attract them are of their own kind, and
SO either go minated or are beguled by ad-
yenturesses. Persons with a wide circle of
friends, or who in their travels meet people
of many kinds and conditions in social way,
cannot easily understand that it is possible to
be lonely in the midst even of a crowd. But
II is true that many women are so situated
that they know in all their lives few men of
the type they would marry, Nor is this sit
uation confined to women whose duties keep
them close TO their homes or who are shut
away by their employment from acquaintance
with eligible men-an experience sometimes
known to teachers. 1t may occur in what is
known as society, for happy marriage is not
certain there by any means. When the num-
Der of misfit marriages brought about through
our haphazard methods of choice is considered
1t sometimes looks as il matrimonial bureau
where marriages could be arranged for a7pli-
eants according to the best judgment of an ex-
perienced commissioner would produce results
more satisfactory. But cur Independent Amer
lean standards will never permit that and
women will continue to depend on that IN

sional ventures into matrimonial advertising

Davenport's Fair.

Davenport this week is entertaining thou
sands of visitors at it's second Mississippi VAL
ley fair. The enterprise launched year
ago. 1t was undertaken on a large scale. with
ample financial backing supplied by local peo-
pie, who engaged experienced promoter to
carry through the plans. The Davenport fair
is a success and it deserves to be. Not only
will the men who Fsked their money in the
venture eventually get their money back, but
the community is assured Of an annual show
that will grow in magnitude and will likely liz
time surpass the Iowa state fair. Some years
ago Rock Island made a beginning in the same
direction with its exposition, staged on Twelfth
street and Eighteenth avenue, but it was al
lowed to collapse because of feeble support
There are many things that could be done in
Rock Island to promote the community's in
terests, but such enterprises not put
through by merely wishing. There must be

to give their tine~and their money, they must

IL do net believe the public wants to own

Hurley Changes His Opinion.

Formerly an earnest champion of public
ownership of utilities, Edward N. Hurley has
changed his mind after his experience as
chairman of the United States shipping board.
''Once upon a time thoroughly believed
In government ownership" says Mr.. Hurley,
IN reciting his experience as chairman of the
chipping board, in a signed article in Golfers
Weekly. Now l am against public owner
ship, because I think it gives less for the
money than private ownership. 1t always has
given less whenever tried The human beings
we now have and the government we now
have are not suited to public ownership. OF
that I am convinced by experience and OBJ
servation. 1 discovered that public utilities
which put profit above service rarely gained
any profit, and that although in such cases
the public was indeed observed, it was not
half so observed as the stockholders. l found
that those service corporations against which
