The greater part of their hoh-

tion to the particular sections
where Colonel Clark was sta
toned during the war. 1t has
been particularly thrilling, Mrs.
Clark writes home, to tramp over
shell-ridden fields with her hus-
band. listening to tales Of the
days when those peaceful and de-
serted spots were the scenes OF
some Of the most bitterly con-
tested battles of the. war.
Colonel Clark, II will be remem-
bered, served as an officer with
Uncle Sans forces throughout
the war. He was abroad in his
professional capacity as a news
paperman before the United

In the course Of their trip the
Clarks visited the grave of Quen.

abroad make a special point of
visiting.
Writes Mrs. Clark:
"As a matter Of fact, I believe
visitors from every country go to
see the grave when they reach
Chateau Thierry."
From Chateau Thierry the Clarks

The federal government. prior to six years
ago. took no part in road construction. except
ing in national parks and projects exclusively
under its Jurisdiction. Since 1916 there has
been a great change in the national policy re-
garding highways. The doctrine of the old
Wing party that the national government should
carry on internal Improvements, such as rivers,
harbors, highways. etc, was inherited by the Re-
publican party after fhe demise of the old po-
liteal organization and has been developed to
include irrigation, drainage reforestation and
conservation of national resources. 1t is now
the established policy of the nation. The Dem
ocratic party, which opposed the Wing policy
prior to the Civil war, now not only acquieees
national measure.
The Roosevelt administration opened up new
applications of the policy and more recently
federal aid for improved highways has been
welcomed by nearly all the states. There are
now 2S,741 miles of roads built by the joint
action of the federal and state governments at
a approximate cost of $500 900 000. That is
large sum, but is very wise investment, and
will pay big dividends to the public served by
these improved highways 1t is estimated that
il the total mileage of federal aid highways
were reduced to a single road it would encirele
the earth at the equator and extend as far as
from New York to San Francisco. And this is
only the beginning Illinois, for instance, has
only 723 miles; Iowa, 422 miles; Nebraska,
6S3. Every community wants highways that
are passable in all seasons and in all kinds of
weather.

Improving the Race.

&Hhs pastor of a Unitarian church at Ber
kelly, Calf, will marry only couples presenting
satisfactory certificates of physical and mental
health. If this rule were universally enforced
there would be less unhappiness in the land
fewer prisons and hospitals for the insane.
1t would seem cruel to spoil the romance of
two young people through discovery that one
or both were unfit for marriage, yet it we're
better that they suffer this disappointment
than that they be doomed to a life of marital
misery, with the possibility of inferior off
spring. or maybe denied the blessing of chill
dren because of some physical defect
The greatest care is exercised in maintain
ing untainted the strain of blooded horses, cat
tie and other animals. while humans assume
the responsibilities of reproduction with
thought only of the wedding plans and where
the home is to be after the ceremony Every
them overlook the essentials of health The
day may be far off when will have uni
versal law requiring certificates of health from
persons about to marry, but in the meantime
parents are exercising these precautions in the
interest of the welfare of their children.
Education eventually will avert present day
marital tragedies The-girl who engages her
self to man should have no doubts concern
ing the physical and mental efficiency of the
man who is to be the father of her babies Like
wise the young ought to take no chances
with the one who is to be the mother of his
babies. Too many people are victims of dis
eases and defects of which they have no knowl-
edge, and the presence of which can be re
vealed only by competent examination.

Should Accept Ford Offer.

The United States. with all it's wealth and
resources, has for many years been surpassed
and is now being surpassed by Germany, Nor
way Canada, France and Japan in the produc-
ton of nitrogen fertilizers. The magazine
The Nations business, which advocates turn
ing over the Muscle Shoals project to anyone
capable of finishing it aud manufacturing air
nitrates for American farmers, points out that
We have paid Chill to date almost billion dol
lars for nitrates and have contributed vast
fortunes each year to the German potash syndi-
cate, although We have wealth of waterpower
and host of electrical furnaces
With the country one of the worlds greatest
users of commercial fertilizers, not until lately
have we made single FOUND of air nitrates
for our own soil. 1t will be a red letter day
for American agriculture when the Muscle
Shoals plant is developed 10 maximum capacity
Even then it hardly produce one-fifth of our

that it would be in the interest of the common

The Waste of Health.

MIR. Davis, United States secretary of labor
spent few weeks recently in a sanitarium. not
because he sick. but because he preferred to
keep well. 1t is his custom to take sort of
health inventory once year with the aid of his
doctor, and then take such measures for restock-
ing his vitality as the results Indicate The
custom is not SO common perhaps it deserves
to be. The American Engineering Council re-
Gently spent much time in discussing waste in
production, with view to it's prevention but
it had nothing to say the matter of waste in
human vitality through neglect. Yet the latter
is as important and has a close relation to the
former.
Insurance statistics show that among per-
sons of impaired vitality who follow the sec
retary's example the death rate is only So per
cent of the tabular rate of expectation. Almost
anyone would prefer to be among the living
and lively is per cent. Taking care in time
to prevent i'll health is the way.

Killing Jobs,

Don't be job killer is an Injunction that
those in control of large enterprises might well
impress upon their operating executives The
job killer is an executive who ruthlessly dis
misses employees on the pretext of retrenchment
and economy, but really to ingratiate himself
more firmly in the good graces of his own su-
periors. This description does not apply in
any sense to the prudent executive who makes
sincere study of the business interests in
trusted to him and of the somewhat austere
requirements Of these difficult times 1t has
been patent on all sides in industry and bust
ness that lax administrative policies during the
boom resulted in swollen employment lists.
But there are always birds of prey ready
to take advantage of necessitous conditions
The very necessity, the very virtue of economy
and conscientious administration during reac-
tionary times makes all the more execreable the
work OF the man who uses them as pretext
for killing other mems jobs in order to gain
favor for himself. From the broader social
point Of view job killing means deprving of
work those who have certain right to their
employment SO long as their Jobs are justified
and their own services are satisfactory. II
means also the creation of unnecessary unem-
ployment the reduction of buying power and
the prolongation and aggravation of business
stagnation Give the job killer enough rope and
he'll do the foolish thing every time.

Enough has been cited from the report to
show how little color it gives to the extrava-
CANT contentious which some of the unwise
friends of the administration putting forth
Their course is really indiscreet, because it
will prompt sober-minded people to examine
the record and then the difference between the
facts and the claims may have the effect of
taking away part of the credit which really
belongs to the Washington conference. 1t is
clearly case where the adulators are confuted
by the actors. Republican politicians have
plenty of ammunition for the coming campaign
in the actual accomplishments of the Washing
ton conference, and they will gain nothing by
exaggerating those accomplishments. In fact
they will only injure their case by such exag-
geration.

Exaggerated Party Claims.

these politicians would do well to consider. 1t

Their most modest statement is that it was the
greatest diplomatic triumph ever won by the
United States. Growing more enthusiastic as
they proceed they declare that more was done
in twelve weeks at Washington than had been
done in 1900 years for the cause Of peace. Such
foolish exaggeration on the part of outsiders
must have the effect OF driving people to ask
what is said by the insiders: The latter have
made their views known in the Report of the
american Delegation" submitted to the presi-
sdent of the United States. Presumably written

and honest statement of what attempted
