PROPAGANDA

Apparently casualties of the great
war will never cease to be unearthed.
Among them is the English language.
Take, for instance, the two words
propaganda" and patriotism" The
word propaganda" a perfectly hon
orable part of our language, has been
blackened by the SCOT of war. On the
other hand, out of the same fires of
battle, has come a better refined and
defined meaning of patriotism"
Many people seem to look upon
the word propaganda" as a term of
reproach. Whereas, in point of fact,
it has most excellent ancestry. The
war gave it c~onnotations which it
does not deserve.
Webster says: "Propaganda-any
method for the propagation of prin-
The government in spreading the
of Thrift and investment
in Government securities, such as
Thrift Stamps, Treasury Savings
Stamps, War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates, has
been accused" of propaganda"
Of course, it is propaganda-pro-
oaganda of the right kind. We ought
have more of it. IF America needs
my one thing right not it is not only
he propaganda of Thrift and Saw
ngs but the practice of it.-Ninth
Dist. Savings Publicity.

The Orphan Annie" Department.

II
mcnt is different in its organization,
or rather lack OF organization, from any
other OF the ten. But it is good example Of
what is, but should be.
Moreover, it should be the best organized,
the fmost efficient and the best financed of all
to get the limit Of results for this country. 1t
has been the "Orphan Annie OF the various
administrations since its founding just over thirty
years ago, it being the eighth OF the departments.
Congress has given it just little attention
and support possible. When induced to
add agency, this was daubbed on as a
wart, without relation or working connection
with any other activity, being given, also just
as -nall appropriation would keep breath
in its body.
Gradually the department has come to con-
sist Of some fifteen bureaus and boards, wholly
unrelated to each other in organization and
operation, each distinct from the other and each
with its organization going along its own
peaceful way as if none Of the others existed
Can any sane person tell why there should
be Bureau OF Plant Industry with its pathol-
oglsts and psychologists, a Bureau of Biological
Survey and Insecticide and Fmgicide Board,
separate and distinct from each other, unless to
provide that many bureau heads
Why should there be a Bureau OF Animal
Industry and one of Entomology? Why a Bureau
Of Soils and Of Chemistry? Why Bureau of
Estimates soon to be consolidated with the Bu-
rcau Of Markets, while leaving out Of the COM
bination the Bureau Of Farm Management?
Instead OF fifteen of these bodies there should
be not TO exceed FIVE and these FIVE should be
50 co-ordinated to exchange information and
cooperate in their activities. At least in educa-
tonal propaganda the field men could have a
common service.
It is certain that if properly consolidated
and correlated these bureaus, even with the pres
cnt PEesgre appropriations, could do far greater
service with more thoroughness and accuracy.
They could give far greater value with far more
OF satisfaction to the experts themselves who
oyerburdcned to get what already may
be IN SONS other than their particular bureau
As organized, there is a maximum Of false
motion, or overlapping, OF wasted effort and
duplication, with minimum OF value in result
This is not the fault of the men in the depart
mentrr but Of the secretaries present and past,
and Of Congress. What the farmers demand of
the new Secretary is dirt farmer" What the
department needs is forccful, able efficient or
gsnzer and administrator.
What it also needs is that sympathetic ef-
fectYe interest from Congress which if not given
will bring around its the thunders OF the
ballots cast in the rural sections.

REVOLT IN ITALY.
SAYS ARTIST HERE

With the exception of Russia no
country in Europe has been rocked
with so fierce a spirit of revolution
as Italy"
This statement was made yester-
day by Mrs. Adelaide johnson. Amer
lean sculptress, who has spent MANY
years in italy and is bringing por-
trait busts of noted suffrage leaders
for presentation to the Capitol
Statuary Hall.
81 believe the danger is past" con-
tinued Mrs. Johnson. "and that
Italy is slowly regaining economic
strength and stability. although the
conservatives are still, plunged in
despair.
There is dire poverty and much
unrest in Italy, due partly to the
exchange situation. Cararera has a
world business in statuary and Is
much better off than the rest Of
Italy. And yet one recent morning
/ was awakened with shock like
an earthquake and a deafening roar.
The extremists had blown up and
completely destroyed the principal
bank of the place."

A Gold-Rubber ALLOW.

Professor Irving Fisher, OF Yale, advocates
elastic dollar. This would fill long-felt desire
on the part of the greatest number Of the plain
people 1t has been, and still is very irksomc to
have a dollar non-stretchab1e to cover expense
accounts and things wished for.
But from this point OF view, it might be
difficult to inject enough elasticity in the dollar
to meet the demands. The more there might be-
the more would be asked until it might break
in halves and be no better than Mr. Bryan's
ifty-cent dollar of 90
Dr. Fishers proposal is to have the gold
dollar vary in weight with what it would buy
Of certain list Of commodities. If these COM
modites would march along the commercial high
might be feasible
But if it had to quickstep, side-step, walk
run and hesitate with the market quotations.
crop estimates the weather, chinchbug and boil
weevi, it would have racking experience
The jazz OF the markets lacks that rhythmic swing
which makes prices move in harmony.
The market, also, having this new element
might use it to syncopate its usual music in a
way the poor old gold dollar, used to its own
steady gait might find impossible 1t is a beautiful
idea, THIS making a gold-rubber alloy, but it
hardly practical
1t has that radiant fascination which always
attaches with striving for the unattainable and
reaching for the just-beyond 1t is fine stretch
ing exercise and is valuable as mental setting
up program. Yet it may be as simple as tomorrow
to the Initiated and those on the outside of
today may need only to be shown.

Getting Ready to Pay,

Judging by the reception in Germany OF the
Allied Supreme Councils decision as to rcpara-
tons, the Germans are preparing to accept it, pro-
vidcd the council stands pat. The German press
is vocally historical the amount fixed. 1t is
called fantastic" to be considered,
pipe dream, an opium ntoxication like that OF IAN
Oriental who in that state dreams of the joys OF
Paradise"
This is tcmpcramental cxhuberance, a sort 'of
anti-toxne to prepare for accepting the neyta-
bic If the allied decision is final the Germans
Will still this Of language with the added
resignation OF the martyr sent to the stake by
fanatics who could not understand the purity and
spiritual perfection Of their victim.
The Germans will claim that held by the
throat by wicked and vengefu foes, they have no
choice, indeed they will have pone if the allies
the power the French at least, are quite ready
to provide. They will make collection as diff
cult as possible, delay payments as long as posi-
bic until they test the inevitable.
But once she yields and accepts the sentence
Germany will show she has lost of her eff
cheney, her organized genius, her national indus
trial and commercial powers. She will pay, if she
must, and all she can, protesting at every
step and compelling every possible concession.
But the Germany that will come from this
ordeal will be commercially and industrialy
stronger in proportion than the Germany in 1914
She will be trained in thrift and economy, in skill
and resourcefuIncss and in productive efficiency be-
yond what has been the high German standard
She will Bolshevik, indulge in seri-
GUS revolution She will not make a political ali-
with the Soviets, but she will usegthcm to keep
the border states in turmoil and to reach into Rus
sa economically and financially She will not be a
militarist enemy for years to come, but CONNER
cially she will be foe worthy Of her combined
foes she in the
1t is altogether probable also, that the Supreme
Codncil will make material concessions. If they
consent to further delays, to pickering and shy
shallying, they may we'll agree to let Germany
fix the reparations to be paid, and to pay it when
she gets good and ready. In all reason, they know
this as we'll as does the on-looker.

cleared ground, to the woods beyond And once
on its way nothing do can stop such
conhagration.
Today, then forest preservation means just
two things-reforestation and fire prevention;
planting and preserving the young growth. The far
more important of these is the latter and it can
come only through eternal vigilance and relent-
lessly enforced laws.
A forest fire can only be stopped before it

No precautions sufficient. These only help.
Broad wnd-breaks, lofty lookouts, arplane

but above all a thorough and complete patrol
organization to preserve the young forests that
they become real forests
Is this worth the cost? The Forestry Bureau
estimates that one in twenty Of population de-
pend for living the forests and their prod
ucts. So valuable has building timber become that

fuel it has reached nearly prohibtive costs. Every
old country, every scrap of forest history, tells

organization but piles up the future cost.

SPANISH FLORA WOULD
THRIVE IN AMERICA,

The flowers and plants of Spain
would thrive just as well in the
southwestern part of this country as
they would in their own native land.
DR.. Ivar Tidestrom told the Botanical
Society at its meeting last night at
the Cosmos Club. This is bccause
the climate of the greater portion
Of Spain is dry and similar to that
of the great Southwest
because of the high elevation of
the land surface above the sea-lcvel.

tn" proximity to Africa. the fora or
the lberian Peninsula is richer in
species than any of the other foras
of Europe" declared DR.. Tidestrom
The three flOristic regions of Spain
were compared with our Western
regions. The palm belt was likened
to Arizona and Central and South
ern California along the coast. The
plants of the southern parts of
Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico
are the equivalent of the Spanish
plateau fora, which is common to
that of North Africa. The fora of
the higher mountain ranges cor
responds to the aspen and spruce
belts of the Great Basin, he said.
Seventy per cent Of the Narcissus
species, which we have adopted and
cultivated, are natives of Spain and
the Riviera. In Northern Spain,
plantations of Lombardy poplars are
being cultivated so as to supply both
timber and pulp, the speaker said.

DALLAS AsPIREs TO
BILLION-DOLLAR MARKET.


To make Dallas a billion dOllar
wholesale center in 1921 is the
laudable task to which Dallas boos-
ters have set themselves, George
Campbell Pomeroy. retired mer-
chant of the Texas city, said at the
Raleigh yesterday
In 1917 the wholesale trade of
Dallas aggregated s262.OOe, OOO," said
Pomeroy. In 1918, 100000. 900; in
1919, $4l5,OOO.O 900; while last year it
reached $6OO,OO0,0OO If the billion
dollar mark is reached this year, it
will mean that the increase would
have to be almost twice as great as
1t was in any year since 1917
Pomeroy said that many mcr-
chants admit that it will be diff
cult to attain the goal set at time
when the level Of prices will be much
lower than that Of any of the last
four years. and that viewed from
the statistical standpoint it might
appear impossible.
1T must be remembered, however,
that the suggestion of. statistics is
considerably qualified by other cir
cumstanccs," he explained. The
success of the undertaking win de-
pend upon the luck of the farmers
this year, both in the matter OF the
size of their crops and in the mat
ter Of prices they command. The
state of the finance and industry Of
the country will be a governing fac
tor, but given ordinarily fair CON
ditions in thes" particulars do not
believe there is any formidable OBJ
stacle in the way of reaching TINS
goal"

SIMPLE MAGNETIC THEORY
MAKES DESIGN EASIER.

No longer is it necessary to use
differential equations of the fourth
order to explain the theory of the
operation of magnetos. and Undue
tIon coils. DIR. F. 4. SiIsbee, of the
Bureau of Standards, as a result of
work on many different types of ig-
milton apparatus, has evolved a the
ory in which sample algebraic form
ulas can be USED to give the voltage
produced by a magnetic under vari-
Gus conditions, such as those result
Jag from the. presence of a low re-
slstance carbon path across the
spark plug insulation.
'Magnetos and coils used for ig-
milton of gasoline engines are ex-
ceedingly complex types of electri-
cal apparatus" he said at a recent
staff meeting of the bureau, "and
due partially to the fact that the
average user, and even automotfve
engineers, regard electricity as (.
mysterious phe1omena, and partial
ly to the fact that. before the war,
the Germans had developed salts
factory apparatus empfricaay, no
simple explanation of
their mode of operation has been
developed in the past" -
Measurements made in the bu-
reau's laboratories show that the
results obtained experimentaIly
agree within 10 per cent with those
computed by the new theory. This
new theory will be of value to both
designers and manufacturers of ig-
milton apparatus.
