It's What the Dollar Will Do.

Nothing could better illustrate the
inescapable relationships of ali prod
ucts, and all prices for the products,
than what has been happening in
recent weeks to farm crop values.
1t is all due to the economic rela-
tivity which is as clear to straight
thinking as the Einstein astronomic
relativity is obscure to ordinary
minds.
In April the prices OF crops and of
live stock, according to the index
numbers of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, improved
over the March prices. But this did
not mean an actual gain, by true
economic measurement. either for
the farmer or for anybody carrying
crops or live stock from February to
April.
The reason agricultural products
did not gain in actual value while
the prices we're going up in April is
that in the same period, as the index
numbers also show, there was cor
responding increase in the prices of
all other commodities. So the pur-
chasing power of the higher priced
crops was not one whit better after
the spring price rise than it had
been before.
Whether it was the farmer or the
margarin dealer. his agricultural
product would not exchange into
more Of the things he needed at the
higher April figure than they would
have exchanged into at the lower pre-
vious price.
1t is what the yield Of mans
work, energy and intelligence will
give him expressed in terms of the
yield of other mems work, energy and
intelligence that is the only true test
of the actual value Of any or Of all
these yields. The wage Garner is not
different in respect Of the working
of this fundamental law from the
farmer. The farmer lis not different
from the railroad.
Anybody's dollar, however he gets
it, is worth only what its purchasing
power is-which means what it will
do for him. Yet this elemental truth,
iterated and reiterated though it be,
gets as easily lost in the shuttle Of a
legislative session at the national
capital as in mass meeting Of strik-
ing coal miners.

England's Mosquitoes.
The Old Theory That They DO Not
Carry Malaria Is Upset.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Three
fsllacies are popularity current in Eng
land regarding mosquitoes. They are
discussed by John F. Marshall in the
quarterly Science Progress. One OF
these fallacies is that they are non.
malaria carrying; another that all
English mosquitoes are harmless and,
third, that annoyance from them is
unavoidable
AS to the first error Mr.. Marshall
remarks that OF the twenty-five known
varieties of English mosquitoes three
are distinctly malaria carriers Of the
Anopheles genus. Concerning the harm
iessness of the remaining twenty-five
species he cites statement of Profess
sor I,efroy, published in the London
Times last September.
During 1891" remarks Professor
LEROY. there have been an abnormal
number of deaths either from wasp
stings or the bites OF the brown mos
quito, which does not carry malaria, or
from the bites of flies which have not
been identified"
The English scientist reproaches cor
of immediate Investigation in such in
stances. That healthy persons die within
two or three days from the bites of
brown non-malarla CARRYING mosquitoes
he accepts as fact Why they die we
do not know, and Professor LEROY
urges the necessity of searching scien-
tific investigation in all such cases.
With the ground thus cleared by over
throw of the popular beliefs that Eng
land has no malaria carrying mosqui-
toes and that all English mosquitoes
are harmless, Mr.. Marshall proceeds to
demolish the third faliscy. that mosquito
annoyance is unavoidable. To that end
he cites a speech by w. ]. Matheson
at the first anti-mosquito convention,
held in New York, December 16, 1908,
In which the speaker said that mos
quitoes may be ''as completely exter-
minated as dirt can be swept from q
building or weeds from walks" In Mr..
Matheson's then expressed opinion, ir
mosquitoes exist in locality, the sole
reason is that the people OF that local
ity are too Indifferent to take the trouble
to eliminate them.
sanitation experiences in the zones
o. the great war have greatly stimu-
lated attention to the mosquito as a
disease spreader. This applies not only
TO the Continental countries but to Eng
land as well.
The progress that has been made here
in mosquito determination since the
New York convention of nineteen years
ago is encouraging. This notably is the
case within an area of, say. 200 miles
around New York A vast amount still
remains to be done. but every year has
seer increasing public appreciation Of
the subjects Importance. together With
corresponding improvement in the meth
DDS OF warfare on the insect Probably
it is too much to expect that we ever
will be wholly rid Of him. but there is
ample warrant for the hope that within
comparatively few years his activities
as nuisance and pestllence spreader
may be reduced to negligible guam
tity. T.

Clothed in a radiance
We cannot guess.
He wanders through the fields
And the rank sedge
Brushes his knees
with pollen heavy heads.
Free, free at last
To climb the ragged hills;
Free in the sunshine,
In the beating rain,
To touch the flowers
And listen to the birds.
A heaven Of little. simple,
Wished for things
Death opened all the doors,
And now he goes
A-gypsying

American Students in France.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
A meikcd change in attendance OF Ameri-
can students at French universities In the
lest three years gives eloquent testimony to
the feelings of the people of the United
States toward France. The number Of these
students has risen from 81 In 1910 to 1.34s
In 1922. Although these young Americans
are mainly In Paris. there Is at least one
American in each OF fifteen of the sixteen
provincial universities and the Americans
are represented In forty-nine different in
stitutions. The students represent forty
SIX States and ia American universities.
OF these students Ts6 are men and 632
women. most of the latter being teachers

Wage Savings in Roadbeds.

If the managers Of the country's
transportation system are wise they
will not try to save one dollar Of the
SfS,000,000 a year pay reduction or
dered yesterday by the United States
Railroad Labor Board. For the mat
ter OF that, the roads could not save
it for long If they wanted to save it.
The physical necessities of the rail
ways would soon compel the spend
ing of all this s4s,000,0 900 a year and
more.
This is so because the pay reduc-
tion of S4S,000,00O a year, measured
by the men employed and the rate
OF wage they get, applies in the
main to the labor required, as the
decision names it, on maintenance
of way work. Maintenance Of way
means roadbed work-laying new
and sound rails for old and worn
rails, putting down solid ties for
crumbling ties, renewing rock bal
last that has ground away from un-
der the ties and rails, rebuilding and
strengthening culverts, bridges, &c.
And it is a distressing truth that
because of the high cost of this fun
damental work and because of the
low earnings of the carriers many of
them have been compelled for months
to neglect grossly and even danger
ously the upkeep Of the very foun-
dations of the once carefully main
tained American railway system.
In all the history of mischievous
and dangerous Government overreg-
ulation of business nothing was ever
worse than the wage scale recklessly
established and stubbornly upheld
for common day labor necessary to
maintain these very railroad founda-
tions. To insist that such workmen
must be paid very much higher
wages than common labor was get
ting in other industrial fields, to in
sist that these excessive wage scales
must continue for common labor al
though hundreds of thousands of
skilled men were out OF work all
over the country, to insist that moth
ing less than these wages must be
paid IL the work we're done at all, to
take such a stand simply meant
when the roads did not have and
could not find the money to pay the
impossible bills that the work had
to be skimped or abandoned to the
ultimate ruin OF the national trans
portation machine. This Is exactly
what the roads had to do and did do.
For the six months ending with
March 81, 1922, the railroads put into
maintenance of way and structures
only 1892, 2,722, 1926, as compared with
$41S, ,44,476 for the corresponding
period in 1921. This was a letdown
in such physical upkeep at the rate
of more than s171, 100000 year 1t
is we'll to mention here also that in
the same period the money put into
maintenance Of equipment-rolling
stock, &c.-fell from $7SC.634. 900 in
1921 to 5000, O,461 900 in 1922. This is
at the rate of more than $372,OOO0 900
year down. On both those items OF
physical upkeep together the let
down in spending was at the rate of
more than half a billion Of dollars \
year--to be more exact. s543, 100000.

teacher who was original in method
and supremely clear in demonstra

store of experience an abundant
stream of wise counsel flowed for the
guidance Of his fellows.
DR.. WyETH had an extraordinary
career. He was born in Marshall

Louis WYETH. Too young at the be

Confederate army, he rode In QuIRK's
company of MoRGAN's men. Later he

prisoner for fifteen months at Camp
Morton. Indiana.
After the war young WyETH came
to New York to continue the study OF
medicine Here he found the envi
ronment best suited to his rich, re
sponsive nature, and here he labored
with unrelaxing vigor for the ideals
he cherished.
While completing his medical edu
cation at Bellevue Medical College
he recognized what he had first per.
ceived in earlier study at the Uni
versity Of Louisville-that America
lacked facilities for the higher edu.
cation Of physicians. How great was

geons, J. MARION SIMS, whose daugh'

The fruit of DR.. WYETH's ambition
to raise American medicine and sur
gerry to the highest attainable level
was the creation, in 1882, OF the Poly
clinic Medical School and Hospital,
the first postgraduate medical school
in the United States. The benefits
derived from the instruction given
within its walls have been manifold.
More than that, it's excellence was
the cause of raising the standard in
other schools. DR.. WYETH served
long as it's president and it's pro-
fessor of surgery.
This splendid service did not alb.
