High Tides and Wind
Make Salt Water Fish
ing Dangerous.
By DICK PEED.

The story of fishing conditions is
not a new one. While the salt
water Is always clear It is often
rough and that's the tale for the
last week. High tides and cross
winds did the trick to make IL
positively dangerous to go to the
fishing grounds in the small fishing
| boats. Some paid no attention to
the rough weather and made good
| catches. Others went to the shell
tered waters OF the coves and email
bays and had success.
The equinox is approaching and
similar cond: tions are likely TO OBJ
tain for several days. Down the
river big mouth bass were caught
p.entifulIy but mostly on artificial
bait because OF the poor quality Of
live bait. Up the river the water Is
muddy near Washington. but clear
ing with prospects Of fishing in a
day or two. The water is fshable
above the Monocacy and has been
all week.

Evolution.

Down Kentucky way they recently
discovered, just in the nick Of time.
the footprints Of some huge prehis.
toric animal, set deep in rock old as
the ages. One of these footprints had
FIVE toes, and was eleven inches across,
according to report. Word of the dis
covery at its doors was hurried to the
kentucky capital, where the state
legislature was earnestly engaged in
weighty consideration of a plan to for.
bid forever and aye the teaching of
evolutionary doctrine as applied to
man within the boundaries Of the Blue
Grass state. The day was saved. In
the light OF the archaeological evi-
dence offered so opportunely, Darwin
was given vote of confidence. Nc
very impressive vote at that. for with
the tally standing AZ to Al, it needed
but the nod from a single colonel to
spread the blight of kentncky's disap'
proval upon teachings generally ac-
cepted by less cautious communities.
But votes vote-and so the teach
ings of Mr.. Darwin have prevailed
over those Of Mr.. Bryan.
The theory of evolution is an engag.
ing one. 1t involves the premise that
all things, animate and inanimate,
change to accommodate themselves to
the everchanging conditions under
which they exist.
The legislature Of Kentucky has not
faced its problem alone. Here in

The Russian problem is one of the
most painful as well as one Of the
most difficult with which the world
has ever had to deal. Every instinct
of humanity cries out against the
thought that the Russian people must
continue to starve, either to extinction
or to a point Of desperation which will
lead them to revolt and overthrow the
government which has been inflicted
upon them. The great masses of the
Russian people are wholly blameless
for the terrible conditions which exist,
yet they must suffer. There is no suf-
fering among those who really are to
blame.
If a solution OF the Russian problem
is to be found it will have to spring
from a bolder and more inspiring
craftsmanship than has vet been in
evidence. That craftsmanship will
have to be founded on something more
appealing to human Impulse than
trade advantages. Opportunity cries to
some man to make secure his place

awaits the coming Of the man-and in
the meantime the people Of Russia
perish.

More Cheer in Outlook.

From official and other trustworthy
sources come assurances and indica-
tions that the worst Of the period Of
tial business revival. though probably
not q boom, is due to be ushered in
with the spring. Probably the most
encouraging Of the signs is that farm.
ers again are in the market as buyers
and are planning for spring planting
on a normal scale. The improved state
of mind in the agricultural districts
apparently results from three major
causes. The first is increased export
demand for farm products, the second
easier credit facilities and the third an
abundant supply Of labor at reason
able wages. The farmer is not yet
satisfied with the prices he has to pay
for the things he has to buy, but he
hopes that when the crop he is about
to plant is harvested his selling prices
will move up or other commodity
prices will have come down to an ap-
proximate parity.
The farmers, as we'll as all other
producers and consumers, must come
Ito an appreciation Of the facts that the
pre-war relation between production
costs and retail selling prices will not
be re-established for good many
years to come, IL ever; that a eubstan-
tial part of the war-increased spread"
between producer and consumer is
here to stay. If no other increased
burdens were laid upon manufacture
and distribution than the necessity of
! paving yearly several billions Of dol
lars in increased taxation. that alone
would be sufficient to prevent the
"spread" from shrinking to pre-war
proportions.
/ American business and the Ameri-
can people have the adaptability to ad-
Just themselves to any given set OF
conditions, once they are assured that
those conditions are Of reasonable per-
manency. The thing most needed now
to start the wheels of industry turning
again is confidence in the stability of
prices. Economists are agreed tina!
the difference between production
costs and retail selling prices will
have to be about 90 per cent greater
now than it was before the war. The
generally estimated average increase
in production costs is placed at 30 per
cent, so that it is figured that when
prices are adjusted and stabilized the
general average Of retail prices will
be about so per cent above the pre-
war level. Whenever commodities can
be bought at a figure close to that
level, purchasers can go ahead and do
business with reasonable certainty
that they will not suffer because OF a
further slump.

Mechanical Air Pilot.

A writer In the London Mail de-
scribes how a mechanical air pilot,
the first to be fitted to an air express
flying regularly on the cross channel
airway, was demonstrated at the Lon

watched the wonderful mechanical

After climbing to height of about
1000 feet, the pilot removed his hands

Lenin, the Wrecker.

Whatever hope existed that out of
the Genoa conference might come
some solution of the Russian problem
is greatly lessened by Lenin's pro-
nouncement at Moscow that the "eco-
nomic retreat" Of the soviet has ended,
and that Russia will go no further in
it's concessions to capitalism. It is not
easy to guess at the real meanings of
Lenin's speech to the congress of
metal workers, but the effect will be
to strengthen the worlds belief that
there is not now in sight any basis
upon which relations with the Moscow
government could be maintained.
The one statesman who has made
conspicuous efforts to establish inter-
course with Russia is Lloyd George.
and in pressing this effort not only
has he added seriously to the embar-
easements Of the British government
at home but he has risked rupture Of
friendly relations. with France. Now

Economy and Window-Dressing.

In the matter Of economy the re-
publicans in Congress are accused of
window-dressing; of slashing estimates
of every kind in order to make a
front in the coming campaign and
at the polls in November.
They should bear this accusation in
mind, whether there be much, or little,
or nothing at all in it. If there is
anything in it change Of policy
should be made at once. If there is
nothing in it they should be at great
pains to see that the charge remains
a mere exaggeration in the game of
party warfare.
Slashing estimates is, Of course. not
economy. It may be the very oppo-
site thing. A denial Of support where
support should be granted. or the
granting OF inadequate support, may
entail heavy losses.
These are times that try mems arith-

District Land Records.

A new and suitable building for the
files and offices of the recorder of deeds
is needed.
Before the remodeling and recon-
struction of the courthouse or "old
city hall" the recorders quarters were
in that building. Those Quarters were
crowded and not freproof, though
after long and wearisone efforts. metal
shelves and cases were provided for
the record books. When the work OF
restoring and charging the old court
building was about to begin the record
office was moved into rented quarters
near the courthouse, and it Is there
vet, though at the time the move was
made it was understood to be only a
temporary makeshift. Yet the books
and the clerks are still there.
The arrangement of the building is
not suitable for the use to which 1t is
put. The records for one period OF
wears are i'm one room on one floor,
and for another period they are in an
other room on another floor. and so
forth. The records are set in cases IN
many small rooms, some not connect
ing with others, and on several floors.
The room of the indexes is too small
for the books and the people consult
ing them. Small and detached rooms
are crowded with clerks copying, COM
pairing and filing records. The work
ing rooms for attorneys searching and
examining titles are inadequate and
inconvenient. Altogether it Is a bad
situation.
1t is said that the building Is not
fireproof. Yet, in it are kept the land
records Of the District showing all
transfers of real estate and all trusts
put upon it and releases from 1871 up
to today, and the volume of these rec
ords is rapidly increasing. These rec
ords are of inestimable value. They
are of direct value to every holder OF
real estate i'm the District. Loss of
these records would lead to the great
est confusion, and no money should
be spared and no further time lost in
making them safe.
Most of the counties in the neighbor-
hood of Washington have suffered loss
of land records by the burning OF
courthouses or by destruction OF rec
ords during the civil war. and these
losses have been the occasion Of great
inconvenience.
