OPPOSES DOMINION HOME RIFLE

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The Irish people in ireland, as
well as the Irish throughout the
world. have pronounced with prac-
tical unanimity in favor of an in
dependent republic. For centuries
they have been chained to England's
imperial war chariot and their blood
and treasure have been poured out
in all her piratical adventures with
cut profit or glory to themselves.
should Ireland accept the proposed
dominion home rule bill. she would
voluntarily agree to. and would be
in honor bound to aid England in
all her future commercial wars.
Surely the American people are not
so blind to their own interests.

The spectrophotometric methods
OF analysis are especially useful for
the accurate estimation of small
quantities Of dyes" said W. Z.
Mathewson. Of the Bureau Of Chem
istry, at the meeting Of the Chem
ical Society last night al the Cos
mos Club. The procedure can also
be applied in connection with the
estimation OF a large number -
colorless organic substances. rs
these can be quantitatively con-
verted into dyes or colored doriv-
tiles by means Of suitable reagents.
Aniline. the toluidincS and tho
naphthylamines can be diazotiznd
and coupled with sodium alpns-

can be used for other primary aro-

interest the controversy between Mr..
F. H Vovanwich and Justinian
over the question Of England's help
to civilization and wish TO say that
1 heartily agree with the former
gentleman on the stand he has taken
in the mater.
Does our friend. Justinian. sup
pose that England was fighting for
civilization in 1875 when she tried
so hard to keep these glorious
United States in political bondage?
Was the dear mother country aid
ing humanity in Isl: when she
made an unsuccessful attempt TO en-
slave our people?

this point ! would. however, like
to quote a few lines from our great
President, Abraham Lincoln. on the
right OF self-government:
NO man has the right to gov

themselves. this is liberty: but when
they govern other men. this is tyr

Astrologers read this as a doubt :
full day. While Mars dominates in
benefic aspect, Saturn and Neptune
are adverse.
Constructive enterprises should
benefit by this configuration which
is favorable to large undertakings
by engineers, builders and con-
tractors.
Saturn is in threatening mood
that is read to presage discomfort
in industry and labor troubles.
Strikes that affect shipping and
commerce seem. to be foreshadowed
and at least one will be of serious
import.
This is not an auspicious date for
beginning any journey and the sea
may be especially menacing.
Old persons will do well TO re-
member that this is Friday, the 18th,
for Saturn is in a place peculiarly
unfavorable to the aged.
Dangers from dark places seem
to be increased during this rule and
many robberies are again pre-
dicted.
Good as well as evil propbecie,

told by the stars that the world
will give birth to great ideas in this
year of 1921.

A great landslide of Alsaka was
described by Bertrand L. johnson.
OF the Geological Survey. at the

The great rock basin and the
slide itself are plainly visible from
the town Of Valdez. Alaska, and
from the decks OF all ships travers-
ing the waters Of Port Valdez. The
basin left by the sliding debris ap-
pears as a great trough scooped out
Of the end Of a long. narrow. high
and mountainous ridge. The hori-
zontal distance from the edge Of the
basin at the shore of the ocean to
the top Of the peak is one and one
half miles, while the peak rises 1000
feet above the sea. At its greatest
the basin is a half-mile across.
This slide, which compares IA
vorably with the Elm. Frank. and
some OF the slides Of the Katmai

Ie'ei system. at present prevailing,
"herepy men, animals, automobiles,
trains and cars commingle and travel
on the same road. 1t substitutes
tnree levels. The lowest level OF
tne road Is reserved for train and

vehicles and the upper level for
people. The intersections are so
constructed that the different sorts
OF tramc never come in conflict.
AS outlined by Mr. Bright, the
trlo of levels auEments the beauty
OF the drives and, according to its
originator. the entire plan is not
only feasible for a town the size
Of cocoanut Grove. but can be ap-
piled anywhere. without the issue

INCREASED LAND VALUES
TO PAY FOR CONTRADICTION

As the plan is being put into
execution at COcoanut Grove, a
holding company has been orga-
nized which is purchasing all the
land Immediately tributary to the
project. Mr.. Bright and those be-
hind the movement contend that
the rearrangement in accordance
with the new plan will enhance
the beauty and attractiveness of
the city and hence augment the
land values. These added land
values will be used to liquidate
the costs Of reconstruction. The
increased value, of course, will not
accrue until the work is completed
and for this reason il is necessary
to obtain sufficient funds for the
holding company to acquire the
land. This is being done. and al
ready a sum approaching $1,000. 900
