all due to the proprietor's early expe-

"When he began business and was
only able to employ one stenographsr,
he happened to draw a plump one. She
proved amiable. reliable, and just what
he wanted, and without realizing It..

have had many good stenographers
who were plump, but In a big Office the
work goes on In such n way that this
would sc..rcely come to his attention.
Quite unconsciously he continues to
cling to the type he first favored"
"But suppose the plump stenoE.

. Since The Herald editorials appeared Mai Sulli-
van has done remarkable work in cleaning up this
place He inspected the site in person. we under
stand in plain clothes. He also brought men from
other precincts whose faces not familiar to the
lawbreakers, to deal with the case. The result IS
that for number of nights past Thirteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue has been fit place for a
Sabbath school to hold its sessions. The undesir-
able. rowdy element has disappeared. One now

For this service we thank Maj Sullivan in the
name of the people Of Washington We under
stand that he is engaged in the same eommendable
work in other localities where Objectionable gangs
have made their headquarters in the past. By this
work the Superintendent of Police not only helps
the people but he makes his own work easier. He
breaks up the gangs in which most of Washing

young to continue their nefarious practices

4 NATIONAL EMERGENCY-RAe phrase
n has ugly sound. 1t is rather suggestive
of marching troops, tractors and big guns rolling
through the streets, airplanes humming overhead
and all the other familiar sights of days.
The words are strong enough to bring home to
the American people what serious situation they
are facing because OF the industrial struggle now in
progress.
The government has done well to recognize the
emergency. 1t is not serious, probably, the
words indicate, because such strenuous action has
been taken in time But with transportation Grip
pied and coal production almost at a standstill
there all sorts of hideous possibilities 1t is
fortunate that the l. c. c. has fit to allow
thing to drift until stringent action was
necessary.
After all. the strike situation in America today
is more serious than it in Great Britain a
little more than year ago. At that time it threat
ened seriously the stability of the British Empire.
But the country lived through it and. although some
of the effects are still to be discerned. British in
dustry is almost at normal once more Events
will follow much the same course in the United
States-although the danger will become so
acute it was in the European country where
such mass. of the populace was unemployed and
in desperate poverty.
But Americans can afford to stop and think
seriously. In time of peace the entire United States
has been brought to NATIONAL EMERGENCY
a condition known before except in time OF
war, by disputes between two groups of employees
and employers.
This is not encouraging sign of the drift
in American life since the troops returned from
France. 1t is not encouraging sign for the
future. 1t springs from condition that cries to
the high heavens for permanent remedy.
Unless such remedy Is forthcoming in the pres
ent situation it is difficult to say that the next
NATIONAL EMERGENCY will not be as ugly
as the words themselves suggest-an occasion for
tanks, big guns, etc.
1t is encouraging to note that both President
Harding and Congress are concerned only sec
ondariy with the present strike and the various
vexations which caused it. They are concerning
themselves primarily with a permanent remedy
something which the United States must have in
order to continue its normal course of prosperity

Poor Emma.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
A recent editorial In The Herald
commences. Poor Emma Goldman"
Yes: poor Emma. Born and
brought up in Russia, she doubtless
had il ground into her very being
that government is the chief curse
of the human race. O course
after living in America a few years
she ought to have learned that the
thing to do with governments Is
not to abolish them. but to improve
them a little from time to time
But, after all. wasn't that too much
to expect of human nature? Men
and women who were brought up
in Italy or. Spain don't usually be-
come Protestants by living in this
country a few years. Neither DO
the Chinese become Christians that
way. Few people ever change their
opinions once strongly formed in
their youth. and those who never
do should have just a little charity
for poor Emma. But an anarchist
has no rights which the newspaper
fraternity feel bound TO respect. so
the press has encouraged the belief
lndl Sne NhS
of the government by violence and
bloodshed. a thing which she denies
and which was never proved against
her (as far as / can judge).
Anyone who advocates mob vio-
ler1ce ought to be sent to prison,
whether il be an anarchist or
clergyman. But the only reporter
ever read of who took the trou-
- s..e had her
talk was sad that her address on
that occasion was only wha: might
very appropriately have been given
at Christian EndeaVor prayer
meeting.
The Herald says she was "ac-
cused" Of being responsible for the
fate of President Mckinley. So
also were the Democratic news
, papers who opposed the Mckinley
administration thus accused, and
! heard a man say that a certain
Democratic editor ought to be sent
to the electric char with the as
sassin. II one, why not all the
rest? Probably they were guilty
in the same sense that she was.
But the Democrats were not guilty
of the assassination OF President

New York found fault with some
of his appointments and succeeded
in making a division In the Re-
publican party. Gen. Grant also
threw his influence against the
President. Then came the crank
who removed the President" (to
quote his own words). restored har-
mony in the Republican party and
died in the belief that he deserved,
and would receive. a martyrs

We would like to make the posi-
tion OF President of the United
States the safest place in the whole
world, and yet to give up our right
to criticize the government would
be to sound the deathknell Of the
Republic. Poor Emma Goldman"
Why not let her come back to the
United States to spend her remain
ing days. provided she keeps her
mouth shut" She has been pun
ished enough. Perhaps a little
mercy of this kind would produce
in her a death-bed repentance.

SOLVES STERILE
HEIFER PROBLEM

since the days OF ancient Greece
and Rome. farmers have been pug
zled by the fact that a heifer born
twin with bull is sterile in seven
cases out of eight. Now DR.. Frank
X. Lille. just selected to head the
division of biology and agriculture
of the National Research Council,
mas traced the free martin. this ap-
patent freak Of nature, to the same
KIND OF cells as are concerned in
the recent experiments in making
old men young again
In the case of twins in cattle, he
explains. the membranes Of the de-
veloping twin embryos fuse and the
blood vessels of the twins run into
one another. Tiny cells within the
tissue OF the male sex gland manu-
facture and pour out an infinitely
small amount of substance into the
blood of both. This substance call
ed a hormone, from the Greek word
which means to. excite. suppresses
the normal development of the re-
productive organs of the unborn fe-
male and transforms them partially
into the male type. If this rum
ming together of the blood vessels
OF the unborn twins fails to take
place. the female is normal.
The reason that the smale blood
affects the female and that the fe-
male glands do not have a like ef-
feet of the male glands is that the
cells which manufacture the secre-
tions are developed much sooner in
the male than in the female. In the
male they appear when the embryo
Is less than three centimeters long
and do not appear in the female un-
til about the time OF birth.
Twins in cattle may be about two
per cent of all births in some breeds
and the two-sexed twins form about
half of the total twin births, maxi
ing the matter of sterile cows that
produce no milk Of economic i'm
portance in the dairy industry.
DR.. Lille believes his experiments
with twin cattle confirm the belief
that it Is really the interstitial cells
within the sex glands which secrete
the sexually exciting substance.

The Ways of Science.

- CHEMISTS are scattering the Pacific to
- observe the total eclipse of the sun which is
due in some isolated spots this month. They have
journeyed many miles at inconsiderable expense
to watch the light botted for about FIVE minutes.
What actual profit does the world gain from
such expeditions, The sun remains in the same
place after all is 1t is impossible for science
TO meddle materially in the laws controlling the
earths supply of heat and light. The layman is
apt TO say "Bosh." He can not understand that
what little is known of the universe has been
patched together from very small details and that
the most minute observations are often of such
nature that some theorem OF astronomy, hitherto
held rrefutable is upset 1t IS these intricate min
ute details which American, British. French and
German scientists seek in the Pacific.
The expeditions may to a great deal.
They may, OF course, amount to nothing whatso-
ever. But science afford to miss no opportu-
nifty to check theory by actual experience
During the present eclipse light may be
thrown on the Einstein theory, for example. 1t
may be proved false OF course the theory of rela-
tivity has little enough to do with most of u.s. Few
understand what it all is about in the first place
But it is important enough to keep the world of
scientists, who have given of modern civil-
zation, in uproar because it strikes at the heart
of some accepted scientific principles
Confirmation of its truth or discovery of its
faisehood might prove very important indeed in a
material way.
