PRACTICAL MINERS
 COMPLETE U" COURSE


 The short course in mining was completed last week at the Univer- sity of Washington. It is held an- nually from January 5 to March 22 and was established during the Al aska and Klondike excitement for men who held mining property.
 Among the IS men who com pleted the course are miners from Oregon, Alaska, Washington, a coal miner from California and a physi- clan who holds shares in mining property and who wishes to learn something about the practical side
 One man registered in coal, four in placer, and 13 in quartz mining.
 Five of the men had no mining experience whatever.
 The tuition is $20 and the rest of the expense for the complete course amounts to approximately $35.
 The text books are the same as those used in the longer mining courses. Students of the short course were given certificates at the end of the course.

Fortunate
America

RVING T. BUSH, who recently
analysed the situation in Eng
land, is a keen and open-minded
observer He returns with more
than he took abroad, which is not
true of all travellers.
In his description of England as
the workshop of the world, he laid
his hand upon the fundamental
difference between her hard times
and those we are passing through.
Her population is largely indus
trial. Their employment and pros
perity is conditional upon the abil-
ity of other lands to buy their
products. Therefore England's re-
coveEy must wait upon the recov-
cry of the rest of the world, par
ticularly her great markets on the
European Continent. Hence Lloyd
Georges herculean efforts to get
Europe pacified and at work again.
Contrast the United States. We
are the equivalent of an European
continent in ourselves. We have
In our borders the agri cultural
population to consume our manu-
features and the industrial popu-
lation to consume our agricultural
products. In American markets.
sufficient to absorb 80 to 80 per
cent of our productive capacity,
we have what Mr.. Bush calls a
cyclone cellar for shelter during
the chaotic storms of adjustment
in war-torn world.
A few of our products, like cot
ton, wheat and copper, require at
ell times an export market. They
are the very ones Europe is taking
and must continue to take to effect
her own reconstruction.
Ours is the most fortunate land
on earth, free from economic as
from political entanglements. Out
of our self-sufficiency springs our
strength, our opportunity and our
obligation wisely to lend our re-
sol ices and our leadership to make
others strong.

The Wisdom, of India

TN letter. which Rablndranath
Tagore, Hindu poet and politi-
i cal leader, wrote to a Christian
missionary, the moral and psyche
logical wisdom of India is shown
at its purest.
Choice extracts are: "Your
Western mind is too much obsessed
with the idea Of conquest. Your
inveterate habit of proselytism is
another form of it. Christ never
preached any dogma or doctrine.
He preached the love Of God.
Preaching your doctrine is no sac
rifice at ALT is indulging in a
luxury far more dangerous than
all luxurics of material living. 's
If you have in your pride of race,
pride of sect and pride of personal
superiority strong, there is no use
trying to do good to others. ..
On the spiritual plane you cannot
do good until you are good"
In a world full of passionate
propaganda Of all kinds these are
useful truths. Do not be hot about
the formal things, but be de-
voted to the spirit.

Pigs Is Pigs
THE American Federation Of
Labor has taken a stand
- against the Ship Subsidy bill,

4 s we grown-ups read the heart
n rending stories of drug ad-
IA diets, we recall a tale that
our mothers read to us when we
were small. 1t is the story of the
man who took a pet pig to live
with him.
1t was cunning little fellow
when it first came in. The man
amused himself with it and brought
his friends in to see it, and all ad-
mired the marvellous manners of his
playful little companion.
AS the months went by the pet
grew fatter, less lovely and more
bOisterous. He came to act as if
the place belonged to him. At last
he grew insufferable and the man
decided to put him out.
Alas There was no door nor win
dow through which the visitor could
pass. The old story book has a
picture of window through which
the head and forequarters of the
beast projected. The animal was
squealing, but smiling slyly as the
man beat it in vain. In the end
the house had to be torn down to
get rid of the pig. His name was
Bad Habit.
1t is an allegory true of most
vices, but seemingly written in an
ticipation of this most desperate of
them all-thesuse of narcotic drugs.

Labor and
Ship Subsidy

THE American Federation of
Labor has taken stand
= against the Ship Subsidy bill,
declaring it to be unfair"
Thomas B. Healy, chairman of
the Consolidated Marine Workers
Unions, of the Port of New York
and Vicinity, asserts the American
Federation s opposition is political.
He claims that as a Wilson measure
the subsidy bill would have been en-
dorsed, but that Mr.. Gompers' dis
like of President Harding is visited
upon the Administration subsidy
bill.
Whatever the cause of the Fed
Grafton s opposition, it is ill-advised.
The purpose of the subsidy is to
make possible the operation of
American ships, employing Ameri-
can seamen at American wages, in
the face Of lower-wage scales on
foreign ships.
Labor demands protective
tariff, to enable industries on land
to pay workmen enough to main
tain an American standard of liv-
ing. The subsidy makes possible an
American standard Of living for
men on our ships at sea.
Neither the American Federation
Of Labor nor any one else offers
substitute for the subsidy plan of
keeping our ships on the sea and
keeping American-paid seamen on
the ships.
That's why 100000 marine work
ers have already pronounced in ia
vor of the Ship Subsidy bill. And
that is why The Washington Times
advocates it.
