Look In most any direction and tt can be seen that the problem of deating with automobile traffic and especially the reckless driver is becoming con- stantay greater. Conditions are bad enough outside of the large centers, but there they have become deplorable and are resulting in frightful loss of life
 Commissioner Enright of the New York police force complains that 1t has thrown a tremendous and unjust burden upon the police department of that city. He admits that criminals arc working with the aid of autos, and when he in sists that it Is the duty of the state to see that criminals are not given the right to drive automobiles it can be ap- preciated that he Is right. Passing the buck to the state may be regarded as trying to slide out of a responsibility under certain conditions, but New York has been notorious for the lax manner in which 1t has undertaken and carried out the highly important work of regis tration. The idea that anyone can have license to run a machine without some knowledge as to his character or when it Is known that he has 8 criminal rec ord. or the granting of licenses without a satisfactory test of the ability of such operator indicates a situation which de notes poor regulation, and in spite of ths high death rate from automobile acci- dents and the recklessness displayed lit. tie attention ds paid to the suspension o1 revocation of licenses. It was not sc long ago that the state department ot motor vehicles in New York was de chning to cooperate with ConnecticI authorities who were endeayoring to rur down criminals using machines.
 When the police of New York maintain that they are expected to make up fo, weaknesses in the state system of regis tration and licensing there appears t be ground for 1t. New York might wei take lesson from the way in which Il censes are granted. accidents followe, up and auto driving rights revoked i some of the other states, including Con necticut and Massachusetts. The me tropolis cannot shirk it's responsibilities but 1t cannot be expected to make U for the shortcomings displayed by tn state. The problem is a big one an there should be the efficiency displaye both by state and city authorities aion with the closest cooperation.

People and their daily life in Asia Minor, that historic bride land be- tween Asia and Europe, which again focuses world interest since the Tur- kish Army has taken Smyrna, are described in the Following bulletin from the National Geographic Soci- ety's Washington, D. C., headquarters.
 The modern history of Asia Minor began when the Seljuks invaded it, only a few years after William the Conqueror set foot on English soil. A pronouncement of Mohammed saved the Greeks from either displacement or forcible conversion. The true be- lievers paid no taxes. Hence the Greeks of Asia Minor were as much of an economic asset to the Turks as were the slaves to our own Southland be- fore the Civil War.
 The conflict of Greek and Turk of 1922 also has it's roots in a prac- tice which would be even more re- volting to the twentieth century than s1ayery--that is that tribute children were demanded of the subject race to fight in the army of Islam. By draft ing children of CfHcistians the fla nous janizaries were formed and these picked troops under Moham- medan training, were mighty in bat tie and efficient in peace time as DO lice.
 aThe contribution of Classic Greece to world culture is universally rec
 ognized: but the renasence of Greel cities and towns during the eighteenth century is not so generally realized Smyrna, now in the hands of Turks l had a famous school with a grea

n TTORNEY GENERAL DAUGHERTY has
n made wise in asking Kenesaw NJ
Lands to take leading part in the proposed war
frauds investigation
With Mr.. Lands associated in such work the
public will have confidence. Nothing would
be more calculated to place the stamp of absolute
honesty on whatever is done. There have been so
many charges and counter charges in connection
with the Attorney Generals office of late that the
American people confused. They know not
where to turn with praise or blame.
But they trust Mr.. Lands. He is erratic and
sensational at times But there is possibility of
suspicion that he is not absolutely honest
Men guilty of prohteering may we'll trem-
Bile if this man accepts the invitation to assist in
their prosecution They assured that mercy
win be shown, that the famous jurist will lean
backward in effort to for them the utmost
punishment Mr. Lands is, above all. patriot.
Sometimes he may be mistaken He is apt to mis-
judge motives. perhaps. But he is certain not to
be influenced by any personal considerations which
men who grew wealthy from the might offer.
Actual profteers should of course. be
hung. They guilty of treason. Mr.. Lands
assured, would take pleasure in executing
them. The great task is to prove guilt. Only a
small percentage of American business men during
the war true prohteers. When learn the
real facts concerning their work we are more apt
did exist cannot be questioned The people OF the
United States will rest easy while any such
men out of jail.
The invitation he has extended to Judge Lands
is evidence of the Attorney Generals sincerity. If
he desired that any of these be "whtewashed"
he would not ask the assistance Of the one in
the United States least likely to agree to such pro-
cedure.
We hope the high commissioner of baseball
accepts the invitation A man Of his courage and
character is needed to convince the people that
they are not victims of interested propaganda. We
do not insinuate that there the staff OF
the Department Of Justice other men with ideals
as high and minds acute. But the p1bc does
not know about them. They have not inspired the
same faith
What Judge Lands says will be accepted by all
classes of citizens except the proteers themselves
What others may say will be subject to misgivngs
everywhere. Judge Lands it to his country
to accept Mr.. Daugherty's invitation. For himself
personally, it will afford pleasant work Life must
have been trifle monotonous since his retirement
from the bench.

Bay State Politics.
M MASSACHUSETTS, voters in Washington
wi interested intensely in the political 81

M ASSACHUSETTS voters in Washington are
wi interested intensely in the political situa-
ton in the Bay State. All sorts of rumors are
afoat. The candidacy of former Gov. Samuel w.
Mccall, one of the most popular executives the
State has known. against Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge for the Republican Senatorial nomination, has
started much heated debate in the Capital colony Of
New England folks
Mr. Mccall, it is rather generally admitted is
the only Republican in Massachusetts, who de-
feat Mr.. Lodge, He is substantial, busness-ke
Progressive who will draw votes from stronghods
which always have been considered Lodge property.
His splendid record as governor has gained him a
following which includes many who have been
faithful to Mr. Lodge in the past.
The existence of powerful progressive ele-
menI in the most conservative of States must be
admitted. The senior Senator is respected rather
than loved by his constituents. Mr.. Mccall, in
many ways, is colorful character. He ap
peals more to the imagination.
1t is natural that he should aspire to a seat in
the United States Senate. He has been already a
member of the House of Representatives and the
record he made while in this capacity was largely
responsible for his election to the governorship.
His immediate predecessor governor, Mr.. David
l. Walsh, now is junior Senator from Massachu-
sets. From the statehouse to the Senate has been
usual step in the Bay State
But Massachusetts Republicans in Washington
will be glad of Mr.. McCalrs announcement that he
will carry his fight no further than the primary.
He came to Washington last week to take part in
the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial and was
astounded to hear that he would break
away from the party and independent
ticket if defeated for the nomination.
Mr.. Mccall has the interests of the Republican
party in Massachusetts, at heart much Sena-
tor Lodge He owes all the political honors be has
gained to the work of united party and he is not
likely to give. up hopes for future success by quit
ting his old friends.
If Senator Lodge is successful in the primaries
he can look for no more earnest supporter in the
election campaign than former Governor Mccall.
Massachusetts be considered practically sale
Republican territory this year regardless of which
candidate wins Only decided party split can
result in the return of Democrat, especially as
Bay State Democracy has no outstanding charac-
ter to offer for the Senatorship.

CULTIVATED PEARLS
UPSET MARKET.

The French pearl market Is great
ly disturbed by the appearance Of a
great number OF cultivated pearls
OF japanese origin" says the Paris
correspondent of the Journal OF In
dustrial and Engineering Chemis-
try.
In the scientific societies there
has been much discussion Of the
means of distinguishing natural
from cultivated pearls. Although
the two kinds are identical from
the biological point OF view. they
do not possess the same market
value.
An the tests so far proposed
have given uncertain results. Nr.
SalihOurC seems TO have solved the
problem by examining the interior
OF the pearl miCroscopiCally with
very strong illumination. The pearl
always has an orifice for the pur-
rose Of mounting. By closing this
orlfice and placing over il a very
small metallic mirror consisting OF
a tiny globule Of mercury. which
functions as a convex mirror. an
ina sc. and consequently a photo
graph. can be obtained Of the cylin-
drical axis Of the pearl through the
orifice. With a natural pearl a no.
mogeneous circle Is obtained. hut
in an artificial pearl this circle bears
concentric striae. corresponding -
