THEATRICAL ASSOCIATES
PRAISE MISS RUSSELL
Pay Tribute to Her Personal

Many tributes were paid here yester-
day to the memory of Lillian Russell

had been associated in the theater. Her
death was sincerely mourned by hun
dreds whom she had helped, and by
other hundreds she had known both
while she was theatrical star and
since she left the stage.

born of thirty-five years of friendship
with her.

womanly members, l knew her for
thirty-five years. and in all that time
she rose steadily in her art and in the
love and confidence of the public, which
she won by her democratic nature, her
personal loveliness, her sweetness and
sincerity of soul and her kindness and
humanity TOWARD those less fortunate
than herself. She was a magnificent
woman who possessed all the attributes
of leader. She had qualities of mind
and heart and soul that exalted her in
the estimation Of all who came to know
her. Her influence had an influence
upon the entire profession"
Lew Fields, with whom Miss Russell

biration causes the pole-point to wander in rather uneven way, tracing lines that are very roughly eliptical and which cross and recross each other. But these two known wabbles cause only a very slight variation from a steady rotation; the 'wanderings' of the pole-polnt because of them are believed to be always within a circle SO feet across. The latitude of any city would be changed, therefore, because of these two recognized wabbles of the earth, at most only 30 feet north or south of it's mean position.
 There are other possibilities, however, in regard to change of latitude. One Is that thece are other as yet unrecognized wabbles extending over longer periods which cause the pole-point to wander in circles or elipses that may be larger than the 50 foot circle. Another is that there may be forces in operation which shift the pole-point steadily southward practi- cally along a certain line of longitude. Finally. latitude changes might be due to local movements. either sliding of rela- lively small sections of the earth's crust. or to recently postulated floating of the continents.

FINGER PRINTING.

Some highly distressing mixups have occurred in maternity hospitals where the babies. many of which look alike, turned to the mothers. This situation can best be appreciated in the large cit ies where the number of cases is large and where the need of improvd methods of identification has existed for a long time.
 But it is not solely while a person is in the cradle that there is a chance of 1 being mistaken for someone. else. It is happening every day, and there are re- peated instances when relatives are un- able to decide in case of death whether the person is actually their kin or some one closely resembling him.
 For the purpose of Identifying crin1i- nals the finger print system has come ] into general use. There is no good req son why it should be restricted to those who have gained a reputation for vio. lating the law. What is effective in sucf instances can be equally as certain fol all others. Inasmuch as the finger prin makes it possible to identify a persor regardless of age 1t can be appreciated that the adoption of the plan in New l York hospital of having new born babe. finger printed should serve not only tt overcome the chance of mixing up tn, babies in that institution, but shoult serve as a means of Identification throughout life. Such records as ar,
 made in that or any hospital should thu become highly valuable for identihcatio, purposes during the life of those indi viduais and there can be little or n, objection to such a method simply be cause it Is system followed in connec tion with criminals Finger prints do no encourage crime or in any way detrimen tally brand the individual It is a sys tenn employed in banks that is decided ly effective in proving identity.

A PUBLIC MENACE.

A matter which cannot fail to get se- rious attention Is the situation which exists in regard to leprosy as disclosed by the federal health service. It will be a great surprise when that service re- ports that, as the result of survey which has recently been made. there have been found 1900 cases of that dis ease at large in 25 states
 Leprosy is a disease communicable through contact and therefore one which calls for the isolation of those suffering from it. Certain states have maintain ed places at islands and points from which the general public has been pro- hsbited and the aim has been to protect the many by restricting the faw With 1900 at large and mingling with the public the prospects of wiping cut the disease doesn't appear good, in spite of the encouraging results which have been obtained through the use of that new oil treatment which is having such 5ene- f1cial effects.
 Since this treatment can be carried on best at central point and is confined chiefly to the federal 1eprosarlum in Louisiana much depends upon the capac- ity of that institution to receive patients 4 number of states have abandoned their detention stations and transferred their patients to the southern state but where states are doing nothing at all to check the spread of this disease and it is irn- possible for the government institution to accommodate more than 200 1t is evi. dent that there is little hope of inlprov. ing the situation until other hospitals fol the treatment of the disease are estab lished, or the present one Is greatly in | creased.
 That there are so many cases of th' disease at large will be learned witt surprise. It doesn't indicate interest il health and sanitation which it had bee1 ! supposed prevailed throughout the coun try. Such number is large enough t mean undesired results if permitted (

United States. It will not be because of this understanding witt, the bankers but through similar metAoi of dealing with the facts in the case that recogni- tion may be brought about. Mexico wants 1t and it knows how valuable it would be to it to have this country take such action.
 That Mexico hasn't by this time met the requirements of this government seems to have been due to the fact that 1t has not been possible to bring the sen timent in that country to the point where 1t does not feel that 1t is yielding to pressure by the United States. Politi- cal sentiment has to be dealt with there quite the same as elsewhere, and some idea of how it works can be gathered from the statement of Secretary of Fi- nance De la TIuerta at the conclusion of the agreement when he declared "This does not mean defeat or victory for either side" Through such an attitude the prospects of approval at home are undoubtedly improved, and if the same thing could be said of such treaty as this country seeks before extending rec ognition it seems not improbable that t would be forthcoming in a short time. A long step in that direction seems to have been made, however, by the financial parley's result.

THE WAGE REDUCTIONS.

When the railway labor board makes another reduction in the pay of railroad employees 1t does so with the distinct feeling on the part of the majority of the board that conditions throughout the country justify 1t. The reductions are not heavy. They are downward in keep ing with the tendency in industrial plants and in company with the drop in The cost of living. They are not as heavy as have been experienced by others in employment of a like nature. The board has taken care to point out that it would be possible for the road to obtain employees to do the same work that is expected of their present men for lower wages. Thus there has been considera- lion given to those already employed but with the reductions 1t gives the rail- roads an opportunity to provide such re- auctions in freight rates as have long been called for and as have been ordered by the interstate commerce commission all of which is certain to have it's ef- fleets in giving the cost of living a fur ther push downward.
 To suppose that the employees of the railroads should be permitted to retain the peak of war wages, or near that would be to expect that there would bt no ourtailment in the rates charged bJ the railroad, when 1t Is apparent that there is a pressing needed for lower rates.
 The cut in the pay of the railroad em ployes means a gradual getting back to ward normal, and through 1t the remova of those obstacles which prevent other. from getting away from the high prices It Is bound to have the effect of pric, cutting upon all consumers because O the lowered transportation charges ant In the fixing of the new rates of wage the railroad labor board has responded to the conditions that were faced.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES

June is following the example of May. Her first days shade tempera- ture returns show S4 degrees in Lon don. Experts are wondering if we are on the eve of another trough Last year it was predicted that we should have five hot summers in succession. It is impossible to prophecy far ahead, but there are signs of prolonged dry weather.
 Turkish Massacres-The point about Turkish massacres, is, first, that they are wholesale, and ordered by author 1ty with the deliberate view of ex- termination; and secondly, that they are going on now, that nothing is be- ing done to save the subject Greeks from the fate that has already be- fallen the Armenian nation. If the great powers act together, and quick ", they may save part of the Chris tian population; if they delay, there will be no population to save.
 Bathing nixed-Now that the mix ed bathing problem seems to threat en the usual summer revival one may recall for the puritanical a code of dipping which; whatever thAr de- | sires, they cannot hope to see renew ! ed. Long ago-it was before the bath in machines-Blackpool seems to have l held the palm for fully secured pro- | priety in bathing. At a fixed hour | daily, on the ringing of bell, women wishing to bathe issued from town to | shore clad in sea gowns of undoubted l decorum and responsiveness.

 emn procession made for the beach.
 Pigeon derbies-The great pigeon
 derbies will be flown early in the
 month that has just opened, and every
 Saturday for the next month some
 thousands of English birds will be liberated at Marennes, Arras, Troyes
 Bordeaux, Jersey, St. Sebastian, or
 other Continental towns, to fly back
 home. Most of these pigeons will av-
 craze over 45 miles an hour in their
 flight; many of them will cover hte
 distance at a speed of over mile a
 minute.

A GOOD SIGN

Progress of definite character seems 10 have been made by the agreement which has been reached between the representative of the Mexican govern ment and the International bankers con- corning Mexico. It brings about that understanding which is beneficial for all. It leaves Mexico in better light among other countries, especially creditor na- tions, with more confidence manifested in the government and 1t puts that gov- ernment in better position D handle It's financial problems Thus with both sides satisfied the result can be regard cd as mutually beneficial.
 The successful conclusion of these ne- gotistions adds to the constructive work of ths obregon governtrent, and gives promise that it may Do the forerunner tf recognttion=sof that government by the
