fication will not halt or defect the
functionings Of the government. We
shall a continue to follow the lines
which have brought us to our present
position among the nations. America
will remain an individual in her own

her own course.
The situation is to q degree sur.

made when the conference was called.
There was general approval when the
names Of the American delegates were
announced. President Harding's ad.

the work We're as cordially praised at
home here as abroad. The chorus was
loud and promising. Everything
seemed set for undisputed success.
But, notwithstanding all this, there
is now the charge that Americas case
was feebly handled at the conference;
that Great Britain. Japan, Italy and
France tobtained advantages over US,
and that our only hope is in the re.

America and Mexico.

President Obregon expresses salts
faction with the state Of the negotia-
tions about American recognition of
his government, and seems to think
they will end in success. Let US all
hope so.
It is not easy, however, to under.
stand the delay. Why have they not
already succeeded?
Secretary Hughes note on the sub.
ject was a model Of its kind-clear,
conservative, and, from the American
point Of view, persuasive. When it
was sent there was feeling in this
country that it should, and would, be
accepted.
But the Mexican authorities took
the note under advisement, and have
Been examining it occasionally ever
since.
American recognition Of the Obregon
government would be Of great benefit
to it. European sentiment would be
favorably affected by it. Europe, in.
deed, is waiting on US: and with
America and Europe in accord behind
Mexico, what has been stabilized there
would become much more stable.
In the main, President Obregon has
Impressed outside observers as having
the qualities necessary in an executive
in turbulent times with a turbulent
people. He is the strongest figure
Mexico has produced since the days
Of Diax; and, like Diaz, he can guide
n war as well as in peace. So that,
with America nodding approval on
this side the water and Europe on the
other side. Mexico would find her feet
planted firmly in the path of progress
again.

The Conference Spirit.

The republicans are still cultivatins
the conference spirit. The President
encounters it promptly upon his re-
YTn. .. -. -, .,.
Seldom have SO many divisions ap-
peared in a party in control of Con-
eress. In both House and Senate re-
publican factionism is rampant. The
party does not seem to be united upon
ANYTHING. A snarl can be kicked up
while you wait.
Many efforts have been made to
remedy matters. A number of formal,
and many more informal. conferences
have been held, and the strongest men
in the party have participated.
The President has lent himself free
ly to the work. He has denied him
self to nobody. He is a sympathetic
listener, and having served in legisla-
tive bodies readily grasps legislative
situation.
AS a matter of fact. some Of the
Presidents friends think he has been
too good-natured; that he would have
saved himself much worry and embar-
rassment, and maybe served other
ends, had he put his foot down last
year and refused to arbitrate many Of
the differences put up to him.
Nearly four months Of "A session
originally planned for six months have
gone by, and yet the way continues
blocked with disputes. AS the only
hope lies in conferences. they should
be called whenever matters threaten
to get out Of hand and put the party
definitely at a disadvantage in what
promises to be one Of the warmest
contests for control Of new Congress
ever waged.

to demand recognition of the czarist
debts and the immediate commence
ment Of payment. In other words.
Russia, without gold or goods or pro.
visions sufficient for her own people,
Is to be called upon to do that which
France, wealthy in comparison. pro.
fesses herself unable to do.
At MOSCOW, according to Lenin, the
communist congress is to be asked to
set rigid limits for the capitalistic de-
velopment Of Russia's resources, and
the disposition seems to be to tighten
up control of industry rather than to
relax it. 1t is. true that Lenin ap-
parently sees the need Of placing ex.
pert managers in charge OF plants. but
there are no indications that these ex.
pert managers are to be permitted to
manage in the interest OF capitalistic
ownership rather than in the interests
of the soviet. The communists are dis
satisfied because of concessions al
ready made to the bourgeoisie, and
Lenin must appease the communists
as a matter Of self-preservation.
On the whole, therefore. there is not
much Of brightness in the outlook as
the two conferences convene, but the
necessities of the situation are very
great, and necessity has a way of
overcoming difficulties. 1t is very
momentous week for Europe. and tine
success or failure of the Genoa confer
ence may be predetermined before it
ends.

Increasing Attention Is Paid
To Health of School Children

proper food and health habits.
In the belief of Supt. Ballou, the
basis of credits for physicaf training
should be on the results attained. no
is of the opinion that the attainment
or maintenance Of "a satisfactory
standard Of health should cover the
following points:
Normal weight. :
Freedom from remediab1e physi-
cal defects such as defective VISION.
defective teeth. habby muscles. poor
posture, diseased tonsi1s.
actual practice Of an & scceptea es
code of simple standard health habi1s.
ABILITY to perform CERTAIN
standard gymnastic exercises with
out undue strain or fatigue.
The superintendent already has
recommended to the board Of educa-
tion that the physical training course
in the high schools be modified to
conform to these principles. 80 that
the high school graduates may be
both physically and mentally better
prepared for future usefulness.
The discovery and correction of
physical defects of pupils in the pub
lie schools is under the direction OF
the District health department. The
STAN OF the health Office specifically
charged with that function consists
of one chief medical and sanitary in
spector, who devotes all Of his time
to this assignment; twelve medical
inspectors, serving part time: eight
dental operators. serving full time
four dental inspectors. serving part
time; four prophylactic operators.
serving full time. and ten nurses on
full time.
The chief medical and sanitary in
spector. who at this time is DR..
Joseph A. Murphy. is the only ply
sictan in the health office who IL not
outside his official duties. Under tlte
supervision of DR.. William c. Fowler,
DR.. Murphy supervises and directs
the work Of every member OF his
staff, handles all correspondence,
holds the regular conferences with
nurses and inspectors. holds inter-
views with parents. school officials
and the health officer; directs the
tioninE and supervision of dental
supplies: plans and directs nutrition
clinics. inspects school clinics spe-
cial schools and classes. oversees the
work of individual inspectors. dem
fists and nurses, and makes an an
nual report on the work accom-
plished. In other words he Is
charged with safeguarding the health
of about $4,000 school children for the
compensation Of $4,000 a year.
School officials regard the salary
of DR.. Murphy as wholly inadequa. 9
and are making efforts to have it
increased to correspond with the
qualifications required and the re-
sponsibilities and duties OF his ONCE.

Russia's Fate in Balance,

Russia holds the center Of the stage
this week in European affaiEs. Plans
for her reconstruction. not to say ex-
ploitation, are to be discussed by in
ternational experts in London, and by
Lenin and the all-Russian communist
congress at Moscow. Both gatherings
are preliminary to the economic con-
fsrencs to be held at Genoa early in
April. and the effort is to be made to
find a basis Of cooperation by which
Russia can again be brought into the
community of nations and her re.
sources of materials and manpower
made available to help in repairing the
wastaSes Of war.
There Is not great deal Of encour-
assnent in the preliminary announce
msnts from either conference. French
experts have gone to London to advo-
cate Reconstruction Of Russia from
Within" whatever that may mean.
The one sound premise conveyed in
the cable dispatches is that Russia
sheuld not be drained Of what little
capital she has remaining to pay for
necessary merchandise, but when it is
proposed that new capital sent into
Russia shall not be placed at the dis
position of the soviet government
thare is apparent failure to reckon
with the purposes and powers Of

ing among the blossoms, red, white
and pink. The amaryllis show is not
as old an institution as some other
flower shows. 1t was but few years
ago that it made its first appearance
in Washington under the patronage of
Uncle Sam, who staged. or potted, the
glowing spectacle in one of his glass
houses under the management Of the
Department of Agriculture. The show
met with instant approval by the
Washington public. and was so well
attended that other appearances were
called for, with the result that the
amaryllis makes an annual stand here,
playing an engagement of generally
two weeks duration and giving con.
tinuous performance from morn till
night. The present engagement Of the
amaryllis has proved so popular that
the flowers instead of closing their
show at sundown have consented to
scrap the eight-hour law and continue
on exhibition during the rest Of the
week until 9 PM, being aided in this
laudable desire to please the Washing.
ton public by many electric lights,
whose brilliancy, it is said. by no
means diminishes the radiance of the
flowers.
An especially lovely amaryllis has
been named after Mrs. Harding. This
is custem among flowers. and few
women of prominence can escape.
even il they should desire to escape.
the pleasure of having a flower named
for them. Some folks think that the
flowers do this in order to honor the
ladies' whose names they take. but an
old and wise an,aryllis, speaking with
DR.. w. A. Taylor Of the department,
and in charge OF the several thousand
amaryllis here, said that the most
beautiful amaryllis had been named
after Mrs. Harding not SO much in
order to confer an honor on the Presi-
dent and his wife as to give an added
honor to the amaryllis tribe. an old
one in Brazil, but new one in the
United States. This appropriation of
illustrious names is not an original
conception Of the amaryllis. The rose,
carnation. chrysanthemum, sweet pea,
dahlia and other prominent flowers
have long practiced this means OF
f1attering themselves.
The flower show is one Of the things
which the government sets up in
Washington to make life pleasant. In
the fall we have the chrysanthemum
and dahlia shows. and when the Ar
lington rose garden gets into its full
stride we shall have government rose
shows here which will lay over any
thing Mistress Flora has ever done
before.

The Disabled Veterans.

President Harding's first official &C.
tion upon returning from his well
earned vacation was to go into confer
ence with administrative officers and
others IN behalf Of improved hos
pitaltzation facilities and general re-
lief measures for the disabled world
war veterans. The subject took prece-
dence Of consideration of the bonus
bill. whose proponents were described
rs anxiously awaiting the Presidents
return to assist them in composing
differences over the measure and ex-
pediting action in the House.
Whatever conflict Of opinion exists
among members Of the House over
the bonus bill-and it is said to be
acute-and whatever difference in view
obtains between the executive and the
authors OF the pending bill. which is
classed as material-there is unanimity
everywhere in demand for the utmost
hberality on the part of the govern
ment In its treatment of the disabled
men and those needing medical atten-
ton.
The country demands it insistently.
and will hold to strict account any
governmental agency, congressional or
administrative. which might fall short
IN fulfillment. But, happily, there is
no disposition to dereliction in any
quarter. Congress has appropriated
literally and with the utmost good
grace. The reorganized administrative
agency, the Veterans Bureau. has
been working to help the men. and has
sought to overcome difficulties in ad-
ministration as they arose. President
Harding at last nights conference
with representatives of the legion ex-
pressed his earnest desire. it is re-
ported, that the government might
meet the wishes of the legion in fullest
measure possible.

Exuberance and Platforms.

The democratic proposition is that
the republicans are victims of their
own eXuberance: that in order to obtain
power they promised too much; that
their platform of 1920 was a piece OF
extravaganza; that they knew at the
time the promises were made that
they could not be redeemed; that the
campaign was Il sort Of bunko: that
failure was inevitable, and that failure
is here.
This lays the foundation for a good
deal of vigorous and entertaining
stumping. No seasoned campaigner
will lack for an old-fasliioned word.

But criticism, fault-finding. charges
Of failure. will not be enough. The
critics must prepare a platform them
selves. In soliciting power-in asking
that the republicans be put out and
they in--they must describe and COM
NIT themselves to remedies. What
will they do if responsibility is shifted
to them? What steps will they take
to revive business. stabilize values and
give the country confidence again?
This way lies danger. The demo,
