LADY AsToR's PRIVILEGES

ADVICE generously dispensed with much
n charm of manner has been the doinl-
nant characteristic of Lady Astors Amer
lean tour which ended yesterday. lhe
evangelism displayed has been of the dis
tinctly gracious type. fortunate circum-
stance in view of the controversial nature
of many of the topics discussed.
Lady Astor has not hesitatcd to indorSe
the principles OF the League of Nations OF
of any International eacc-protectivc So
ciety that may be offered Us a substitute
On the theme of alcoholic prohibition she
has spoken frankly. her valedictory con-
tanning approval of what, for all its defects,
she regards as an advance in social welfare.
She has pleaded for cleaner politics. the

pecially for n sympathetic American appre-
citation of world problems Americans. she
asserts, need not fear to enter Il League
of Peace. but had better fear not entering
If they desire pence
The candor Of the former Nirginian, now
the representative of her sex in the British
Parliament. is refreshing. but it must be
admitted that 1t is also privileged. Lady
Astor has been friendly critic with oppSr-
tunities of comment arising from her free
dom from partisan affiliations here and her
lack of direct contact with such social, eco
try as have not infrequently checked the
tongues of otherwise ardent reformers.
\ free lance from the outside is especially
favored, as was Theodore Roosevelt when
his proffercd solution of the Egyptian prob
lem provoked admiring amazement in Lon
don. In the responsible sense. Colonel
Roosevelt knew not Conservatives nor Lib
erals. Great" or Little Enslandcrs.
He WAS 4 privileged soothsayer.
Lady Astor has been likewise. with the
result that her good sentences and well
pronounced have assumed an aspect of
oracular wisdom. II is so easy for the ma
tion to SO straight, if 1t will but heed the
simple rules. compounded Of common sense
and an elementary idealism, formulated by
the ingratiating reeress.
1t may be conjectured that this is Lady
Astor's opinion. a view which in principle
is not dissmilnr from that held in America
when alleged militarist France or alleged
conrcsson- hunting Britain have to our col
lectivc mind chosen the wrong path
Admonition is an art which can be most
comfortably practiced by those on whom the
obligation of failure will not rest. This II
not to imply the fnntCSt suggestion of
smugness to Lady Astor. but simply to sug-
gest her divorce from many of the inhibi.
tons that parnlyze our will.
The League of Nations struggle in the
Senate is historical example. Americans
In general are believers in the principle of
arbitration. They adorcd it before and
during the war until. in fact the task of
reducing the abstract TO the concrete awak-
"ned Inherited prciudiccs. partisan tradi-
tions and fartional ire.
Nevertheless the country should be CRATE

tho sssor order to bring home more strongly
Its necessity and in the best manner Of Sc
curing general observance of it's principles
VIII be taught in the public schools Of the
"The State :chool authorities have worked
for some time upon a syllabus which Is
about ready. The instruction will begin
with the very young children. and the course
OF study outlined is such that 1t will main
demands at first. This will be taught to
children of about eight to thirteen years of
age. The older children will be taught the
danger of fire, the things to avoid, which
usually cause fires, and the proper things
to do to this end in the home and in the
schools.
'The fact that this course is to be intro
duced into the public schools Of Pennsylvania
has gone all over the country. We have
had Tor some time fire prevention instruction
been given in SO broad q manner as is now
contemplated in the State. New York,
Spokane, cities In New Mexico and In many
other States have written to US, asking for
detailed information as to how the course
Is to be applied In our schools.
Making Careless Men Pay
THE Legislature of Massachusetts is now
considering bill to impose the cost of ex-
tinguishing fires caused by carelessness or by
disregard of the ordinary precautions
upon the person upon whose premises such
fire starts. The City Council of Chicago
Is also considering a similar measure and
both Cleveland and Cincinnati already have
such ordinances.
I'm France, after a fire, the burden of
proof Is upon the person upon whose prem
ises the confagration started to show that
It was not the result of carelessness. In
that country damages also may be collected
from any person who allows preventable
fire to start.
THE American public is generally inter.
ested In the matter of fire prevention, but
the older people who have been going along
in the same careless wnv all their lives are
not SO much affected by the movement as
might be desired. Therefore, we hope for
some beneficial results along these lines by
introducing the matter In the schools, where
the children will learn about 1t and talk
about 1t at home. thus bringing it more
strongly to the attention Of their elders
Once thoroughly inculcated. the habit of fire
prevention will take care of Itself; the
present necessity is TO get it home to every
person In the State" ''

OLYMPICS AND THE FAIR

games would deprive the French capital of
the scheduled honor in 1924. The ambitions
Of Los Angeles. where every report Of dis
cord abroad was hailed with undisguiscd

Had agreement not been reached it is pos
sible that the California city and Philadel-

Olympics. More than a year ago the pro.
priety of holding the great international
athletic event in connection with the SesQui
Centennial was suggested in the hope that
the date might be put off until 1926. But
the proposal, although engaging, was not
energetically advanced.
Whether the International Committee
could now be induced to consider an inter.

four year interval in two is uncertain but
the idea is still worthy of the expenditure

PAYING THE BILL

nR. HUXLEY r. OWENS suggestion
~ that persons arrested for drunkenness
should in the future be forced to pay the
costs Of medical attention administered by
the police department doctors is, in n sense
justified by the evidences of the hour.
Nearly 10000 intoxicated persons, fred by
moonshine or real red liquor. have been
treated by police physicians in the last three
months. This is n record number. Dr.
Owens estimates that all money available
for this work will be gone before the be.
ginning of autumn.
II happens, however. that any man who
manages to get intoxicated nowadays is very
likely to be broke by the time he achieves
q place in cell or hospital. Since whisky
and It's limitations continue to flow freely a
more just and logical remedy may be sur
gested for the condition which troubles DR..
Owens.
The bills for medical attention admins
tered by police surgeons to intoxicated per-
sons might be paid through levics made
forcibly upon the pay of prohibition enforce .

All these aviators have to do Is to make

The flight across the English Channel, with

serious difficulties in the way of flying from
France to Italy. 1t Is a short distance from
Italy to Greece. From Greece it is planned
to fly to Egypt across the Mediterranean.
Then there will be more overland flying to
the Persian Gulf and from there the aviators
will head for India. Their route will be
overland from India to the Eastern Coast OF

MOST DELICATE CONFERENCE

TTIlIE refusal of the Peruvian and Chilean
i Commissioners now meeting in Wash
ington, TO admit Bolivia into the discussions
Of the most complex territorial problem on
this continent can be justified on practicu.
rather than moral grounds.
1t Is unquestion9bl that the inland re-
r,ublic has a right TO be interested in ncgo-
tiatioNs designed 10 clear up n situation
which for nearly thirty years has menaced
the peace of South America. Bolivia is
naturally anxious to recover at least a por.
ton of that strip Of seacoast occupied By
Chile since the bitterly fought war which
ended with the Treaty Of .Ancon in 1888.
What is in n sense n revision Of that
pact Is now before the representatives of
Chile and Peru. Blu: the task of the dele
gates is already sufficiently trying without
adding to their AnXicticS by the inclusion OF
n third party. Here lies one important rea-
son for the somewhat lurt answer TO the La
paz Government.
II must be remembered. moreover, that the
conference in Washington is governed By
such rules as the principals choose to lay
down. The United States is serving ex-
clusiyely in the capacity Of host and is not
authorized to widen the scope of the nego.
tiations.

Chile dispute over the rich nitrate provinces.
In that case the new vigor impaired to the
principles OF arbitration might be usefully
employed in consideration of Bolivian
claims. IT is the delcacy Of the situation
which at this time calls for patience on the
part Of Bolivia.
That vast country has been seriously
handicapped through lack of a seaport and
il is conceivable that with their differences
settled either Chile or Peru might consider
some plan OF concession. Such a program
might neccssitate another conference in
which the tnncle Of treaties and historical
facts on which the contentious Of Bolivia
rest could be anH!yzod and adjusted

STEWART A. JElIETT
On Fire Prevention In Pennsylvania

MOST of the fires which occur IN
lvI dwellings and other buildings all over
the country can easily be prevented ana they
are in most cases due to gross negligence:
according to Stewart A. Jellett. one OF

placing the emphasis on the wrong end. we
spend large amounts freely for the purchase
and maintenance OF the fnest mr.. .nshtins
equipment that can be obtained. but pitt
fully small emphasis is given, both by way
of expenditure and education. to the pre-
vention of the very hazard which occasions
such huge public expenditures.
Reducing the Fire Risks
"I am of the opinion that business men
generally place too much importance on the
rate they have to pay for fire insurance and
too little to reducing fire risks In their build.
ing. Unless fire losses are reduced, the In
hold to the fallacy that, If they are fully
insured, that is, If replacement OF their
building, stock and machinery Is covered,
they will come through without loss.
Unless their business is losing one, this Is
NOT true. In many cases. the loss OF busi.
ness due to being unable to fill orders. and
the permanent loss OF customers VINO are
served during the emergency by their COM
petitors, will amount to more IN the long
run than the immediate physical loss OF
property.

IL WHY fire prevention methods are not more
effective. We have had lot of campaigning
on the matter. but the practical results OF 1t
in n materially lcssened number of pre-.
yentable fires have not been very impressive.
In this connection the thing which has i'm
pressed me more than anything else is the
fact that men will take chances Of having
fires because they feel that the only chance
which they are taking is the chance OF an
increased 'h'u'""e' ''e"''''
Aid From insurance companies

gladly help in any way they could to bring
about more effective means Of fire pre-
vention. and one very effective manner in

common understanding among themselves

means OF preventing fire on his property and
ignores all common precautions should get
no insurance.
