v In the country from the
point Of view Of quality. bids
fair to be made even better by the
agreement in Congress to require an
annual tuberculin test Of the herds
supplying the District. The present
rule requires but single test when
a cow Is first added to a producing herd
This tuberculin test is an important
factor In the producing of good milk,
even where pasteurizing is pre-
scribed and the rules governing the
process detailed by law. 1t Is doubly
important here in the District. where
pasteurizing is not required by any set
regulation.
1t has been proved beyond reason
able doubt that bovine tuberculosis Is
communicable to human beings. The
test now required of herds producing
Washington's supply is effective as far
as it goes. but it fails to take into ac-
count the fact that subsequently the
disease may become active. This new
rule will remove this menace.
Considerable doubt has been raised
as to whether or not pasteuriZing
actually kills the micro organisms Of
tuberculosis. Many experts claim they
are o. a type known as re-formers-
that Is, they have the power under
adverse conditions of concentrating
their properties OF life in nucleus
with hard she'll or coating within
the limits Of their cellular structure.
Possessed of this power. they would
be able to stand either desiccation or
the boiling temperature and still be
able to resume their growth and re-
production when circumstances again
become favorable, such as gaining
access to the human system.
On this question. there Is a differ
ence Of opinion. as some authorities
claim pasteurizing will eliminate the
germ. However. this point is one
upon which the average person would
be inclined to play safe. If there is
chance that pasteurizing fails to
remove the menace to health, it would
be a careless mother who would be
Indifferent and give her baby or child
food about which she might reason
ably be In doubt.
in regard to pasteurizing, the board
of health can only score the dairies
on their methods. There is n5 law
by which right methods can be en-
forced. There are two general meth
DDS used, the flash and the holding
methods.
The former requires that milk be
raised to a temperature of 160 de-
grees Fahrenheit and held for one
minute and then promptly cooled.
There are two main objections to this.
One, the milk receives decided
cooked" flavor. which is distasteful
to many. and the other, the fact that
the milk is less readily digested. The
albumen becomes tough and some un-
balancing of the salts takes place. A
third objection is that the butter fat
globules are broken up at tenn
perature of 1853 degrees and therefore
cream would not rise on milk so pas
teuriZed.
The second, or holding method. re-
quires that milk be heated to AZ de-

More Anarchism at Chicago.

Chicago's reign of terror starting
with the explosion of a bomb in a
garage and clinlaxing in the Staying
of two policemen and the wounding
of another, has its denouement in a
wholesale raid of labor headquarters
and the arrest Of between $50 and 200
men who are identified with unions,
mostly in the line of the building
trades. The chief of police declares
that he purposes to put an end to the
organized crime that has been COM
mitted in the name of unionism. He

in the gunfire that followed seven DO
licemen were killed and fifty were
wounded. Many arrests were made
and seven men were put on trial for
murder. All were convicted, five
sentenced to death and two imprfs-
oned for life. One of the condemned
men killed himself and the others were
hanged. The governor Of the state
later pardoned the two imprisoned
men.
Ever since that time there has been
q feud between the radicals Of Chi

occurrences the memories Of that

prompt cooling. This method makes
up by time for what II loses In ef-
fectiveness. a lower temperature and
does away with the objections mem
toned above.
1t has. however. objections Of its
own. II there is a doubt that $50
degrees will kill the Tuberculosis
germ, even greater is the doubt about
145 degrees. Its chief benefit is In
destroying the bacterium or coccus-
whichever 1t may be. opinions differ
that causes the souring of milk.
However. in the removal Of these or
ganizers, which are really not detrl-
mental to health. the field Is left
open for the development OF any
spare formers which survive pasteur-
izing.
A still further objection is met. To
be effective. the milk must be held
the full half hour at 145 degrees.
The usual way OF checking the proc
ess Is by the use Of a recording ther-
mometer. The tube of the thermome-
ter is usually placed at the bottom OF
the tank holding the milk. In case.
for some reason. the man in charge
wishes to rush the process, 1t Is pos
sible to start pumping the milk over
a cooler before the time is up. the re-
naming part registering 145 degrees
all the while. The writer has known
of this to be done, but in another part
of the country. 1t was against strict
orders of those in charge of the milk
plant and it was by chance only that
the man responsible was detected.
There is no desire to infer that
Washington dealers would counte-
nance such a practice. but it Is what
might occur unless they were con-
stantly vigilant in supervising the
work.
The opposition to the requiring OF
the tuberculin test has come princi-
pally from a concern in New York
state desiring to ship milk here. ac-
cording to the health office officials.
With untested herds and surplus
milk, this concern is seeking entry
into the market, ready to undersell,
perhaps, the local producers.

Comparisons have been made be-

minimum. With butter fat priced as
high as at present, this makes con-
siderable difference in the price.
The test is blamed for the higher
price, yet this seems hardly reason
able. Take an average COW that
gives from 5000 to 10000 pounds of
milk per year. II we allow one cent
a quart for the test. that would mean
that the production Of this COW would
provide $40 to $50 yearly to test her.
Veterinarians would wax remarkably
wealthy at that rate.
If one COW In three were slaugh-
tered because OF the test, still the
cost per quart could be kept within
the cent The effect on the price
hasn't seemed valid argument
against the test. Should the cost
reach a cent a quart. which hardly
seems probable. few would hesitate
at that guarantee of receiving a milk
free from the disease.

The President and the Campaign.

Among the callers at the White
House yesterday were Senator McCor-
mick, chairman of the republican
senatorial campaign committee, and
F. w. Upham, treasurer of the re-
publican national committee. It is
assumed that campaign matters were
discussed, and that the President w4s
an interested listener.
Early as it is. the campaign is get
ting under way. The primaries are
ripening. and as soon as nominations
are made organization work in behalf
Of the nominees begins.
This is as true Of one party as Of
the other. Election day Is six months
away, and campaigning these times
is expensive. Nevertheless, no time
is to be lost nor expense spared in
the effort to capture the next Con-
gress. AS the late Gen. Forrest would
put it, each party wants to get to the
ballot boxes first with the mostest
voters.
Control Of that body is important on
two scores. First, as to q continue
ton Of the policies of the present
Congress-. and, second, as to the effect
on the campaign of 1924, when both
Congress and the presidency will be
in contest.
AS the leader of his party Mr..
Harding is interested in both propo-
sitions, and naturally wants his party
to win both campaigns. II the repub-
licans continue in power on Capitol
Hill they will be able to shape some
what the issues for 1924. and If ha
lives Mr.. Harding is more than likely
to head his party's ticket again that
year. Hence the advisability Of keep
ing him well informed about the.
progress Of organization work.

Dangerous '.Daylight-Saving."

Cnavoidably serious difficulty will
arise in the carrying out of the plan
now devised for d daylight saving"
system for Washington, beginning next
Monday, unless the clocks are uni
formly changed. AS the matter stands,
the departments are to start work at
s o'clock and to close at $3.50, instead
of opening at and closing at 4:30.
The Commissioners have followed suit.
Many of the merchants have agreed
to shift their hours in accordance.
Probab bly, the theaters will do the same.
Suburban railroad schedules will be
shifted and street cars will be run
to meet the changed requirements.
But the clocks will not be changed.
The difficulty arises at this point.
Unless the clocks are shifted ahead
one hour everything will start not
only actually one hour earlier. but in
terms of recorded time. Breakfast
will have to be had in most house
holds at from to 7 o'clock. instead
of from to s. If the domestic serv-
ants can be persuaded to rise at or
s. in order TO reach the places of
employment in time to get breakfast,
well and good. But will they? If
they, together with all others. will
change their clocks, there may be no
trouble. But, again, will they?
If breakfast is had at 6 o'clock. what
of dinner? Is the family cook who
gets to the house at &. instead of at
Z. to be held there for a o'clock din
ner by the unchanged clock, or will
dinner be- at o'clock? Can she be
so held without serious strain in re-
lations and perhaps early departure?
It may be easy to say, Let us star:
things going an hour earlier. whether
the clock says or o. But the habit
of time is firmly set. That was the
basis of the true daylight saving"
system. which was predicated upon
shifting of the clock hands. Every
body knew that the clocks were
wrong. but they at least furnished a
marker for the days divisions.
If Washington is to go on time
saving basis, let it be with the whole
works, clock-shifting and all. The
Commissioners may perhaps decree
that on Sunday night the hands be
moved forward one hour. But every
body must do it, just as even if this
is not done everybody must conform
to the changed schedule or utter con-
fusion will result.
There is one vitality important con-
sideration. What of the banks? If
the clocks say O'Clock and the doors
are then closed and a person with a
rote to pay or a deposit to make gets
there at 2:30, to find his way barred
and his note protested or his check
dishonored, has he not a claim for
damages? 1t is no light matter that
has been thus undertaken. The busi-
ness value of the recorded hour is too
serious to be ignored.
If we in Washington are to start the
day an hour earlier. let US change the
clocks uniformly and save confusion
and trouble.

Frances Interesting Experiment.

An Interesting French project is
described in the Social Hygiene Bull
letin. From this source we are in
formed that an ex-soldier's mutual
birth benefit society" has been formed
with a membership Of more than
$50, 900, to help individual members
to make more satisfactory adjust
ments to peace conditions and to
lessen the financial burden of chill
dren. Every member who wants to
take advantage of the mutual birth
benefit" plan must pay into the so
ciety's treasury five francs a month
for Ave years, or 800 francs in all.
When a child is born to him the So
ciety agrees to pay to him 250 francs
in a lump and twenty francs month
till the child is a year old. To en-
courage French women to give their
babies the diet nature intended them
to have, an additional five francs a
month are paid to the family if the
mother nurses the child. No mem
ber, it is expressly stipulated. can
claim a birth benefit till he has been
ir the society more than ten months,
but after that he may have any num-
her of children and claim full pay
ments for every one of them with
out increasing his payment of 800
francs spread over five years.
This is not only an interesting
social experiment, considered per Sc,
but it is a development Of happy
augury to France: where the abnor-
mally low birth rate as compared with
the mortality lists has long been a
subject Of apprehension among the

HISTORIC TREES
 TO BE SURVEYED Work Will Begin Soon in St.
 Louis and Vicinity

St Louis, Mo-, March 29.--An un- of St. Louis and vicinity has been be- gun by the Missouri Botanical Gar den with a report on the Daniel Boone Judgment Tree" and Ameri- can elm, at Femme Osage, St. Charles county. about 55 miles west of here.
 The tree stands upon a farm which was part of the land owned and titled by Boone during his Missouri resi- dence in 1920. It is named the Judgment Tree" fom the fact that Boone, as syndic (judge) for the dis trict under the Spanish rule of Louis iana, was said to have held court un- der 1t during the hot days of sum- mer.
 Said to be less known than other historical spots in Missouri. the tree is in an almost impossible section and has been neglected, according to the Gardens surveying party which visited the spot.
 An examination of the tree by c. H. Pring, horticulturist and head of the party disclosed that the tree Is rotting and that Its life will end with in the next dozen years unless 1t Is put into the care of tree surgeons. Pring said that if properly treated, the span of trees life, already about 16o years, may be prolonged anoth- CT century.
 The tree Is about 70 feet high and has circumference of. 16 feet s inches.
 The tree stands about 76 feet from the old Boone home, the first stone house in Missouri and the house Tn which the famous pioneer settler died.
 Only one relic accredited as com ing down from Boone's day remains on the farm. It is an old grindstone said to have been used by Boone him. self.
