NEWSPAPER ETHICS

It is commonly recognized that doctors
and lawyers, upon entering their pro-
LESSONS, are duty bound to conform to an
accepted code of ethics in the carrying on
of their work. 1t is a new departure, how
ever, for group of newspaper men to
formulate code which makes it I'M
ethical for their papers to print matter
deemed Objectionable by leaders in their
profession.
The pioneers to take such an action are
the members of the State Editorial AS
ISOLATION of Oregon. The editor of a
leading periodical in the east, in comment
ing on the matter, is of the opinion that the
code adopted by the Oregon newspapers
sets higher standard than the average
practice of the business, although not
higher than that maintained by some news
papers in most cities
The Oregon code is big step forward
in the annals of newspaper progress. It
is an open recognition of the responsibility
which the press carries toward the people
to whom it supplies reading matter, the
responsibility of giving them the truth at
all times, at the same moment bearing the
best interests Of all men in mind. By
adopting such code, the Oregon associa-
ton should raise the standard of journal
ism not only in its own state, but should
raise it in other states by leading them to
adopt similar codes.

YOUNG MEN AND OLD

A successful author who at rs has put
best-seller on the market, ayers that it is
the old people who run things. This in
spite Of the fact that the present has been
called an age where youth takes the helm
and assumes leadership in all important
enterprises.
There is truth in this young authors
observation. The war may seem to have
been won by sheer strength of youth; but
it is to be remembered that the guiding
minds in that war belonged to generals
and premiers, not one of whom was under
fifty. Francis Bacon has said, "The errors
of young men are the ruin of business;
but the errors of aged men amount but to
this that more might have been done, but
sooner" Where responsibility and keen
judgment are foremost factors, those
who have lived must stand at the wheel.
Yet the enthusiasm and fire of youth are
essential to progress. What young men
have started, old men have finished and
standardized The one is check and a
stimulus to the other. No man, because
he is young or because he is old, needs to
regret his condition. ut is good to COM
pound employments of both," said Bacon.
The world needs both and finds each in
dispensable.

RUSSIA ON TRIAL

Unfortunate circumstances are often Of
fered as justification for a mans lack of
success. But when the unfortunate cir
cumstances are removed, no excuse is left
him for mailing to make good. The same
is true of nation.
Whatever good there may be in the
government of Russia, it has not had a
fair chance to prove itself as yet Internal
disagreements have been aggravated and
intensified by a terrible national famine !;
and hungry nation is as demoralized
as hungry man.
But this condition is soon to disappear.
Russia's hunger is to be satisfied. Accord
ing to statement made public by the de-
partment of agriculture at Washington,
five million more tons of bread grains
will be harvested this year than in 1921.
This will give Russia plenty of food, and
enough seed to plant a much greater
area for next year.
America has done a great humani-
tartan work in saving the lives of starving
Russians by her relief work. But she has
done more. She has given Russia a fair
chance to prove her ideas of government
And now it is up to Russia to take advant-
age of her opportunity. Is she pauper
or merely victim of circumstances?

A dollar per capita Is the American
Library associations estimate of rea-
sonable annual minimum revenue for
modern public library, according to
the Survey. This sum, In the average
community, would cover the salaries of
trained librarians, a main library with
reading room and branch libraries and
reading rooms within easy reach Of all
the people, assuming registration Of
at least 80 per cent Of the population
as card holders and allowing for ZONE
use about five volumes each. In most
large cities other endowed or private
specialized libraries are available for
students; where this Is not the case
the budget allowance of the public IL
brary for expensive books must be
much higher than Is included in the
estimate given. Nor does this include
extension work for children, or for for
eign speaking, official business or other
social groups within the population.

SHOWS IMPORTANCE OF WOOL
How Much Of It Each Person Uses
Has Been Proved to Run
Into Miles.

How much wool does the average
person use?
Every inch of cloth contains about
twenty-five threads running down.
wards and the same number running
across 1t, SO that square yard Is
made up Of 1880 threads, each yard
in length.
To simplify calculations we may as
sumo that every yard contains u mile
of wool yarn. The average suit or
costume needs four square yards Of
cloth, so that every man or woman
wears something like four miles Of
wool. Allowing two sets of clothes a
year, We find that each of us uses
four hundred miles Of wool In fifty
years
When we come to linen and cotton
goods, with eighty or one hundred
threads each way to the inch, the total
length Of thread becomes appalling. A
single handkerchief may contain 2,4OO
strands each fifteen inches long, so
that 1000 yards of cotton thread are
required to make 1t. A shirt repre-
sents about three miles of thread. In
fifty years everyone of us uses any
thing from 500 to 1000 miles of cot

THOSE BoTHERsoME WOMEN

This thing OF woman's rights is being
carried entirely too far.
In the old days. when man could COL
lect his two dollars, go to the ballot box
and show up at home late on election
night with horse voice, bullying eyes and
a gait unsteady from excitement of VIC
tory or defeat or something of the sort,
women knew their places
They knew then that while they
might be shown every consideration, while
they might throw away hubby's old brown
derby when it was time for him to buy a
new one, while they might even buy him
cigars with impunity, there was after all
just one sovereign nthe house, and the
brawny old thing that brought home the
beefsteak was it.
But that's all changed now. There was
subtle something about the vote that
made for respect. Now women are in on
all the mysteries of politics, and they have
seen what a colossal bluff their husbands
had been pulling for all those years.
It's worse this year than at any previous
time since the passage of the seventeenth
amendment. It has got to the point where
a iAoii Gail SCe ny diiy LuOIC dHu o1dIc d
little about this broad country of ours,
stretching as it does from the rock-bound
coast of Maine to the slm-kissed shores of
California, from the pearly lakes of the
north-land to the waving palms that fringe
the Gulf without a woman wanting to
know what was the primary vote in North
Dakota, or whether the tariff on wool is
higher now than it was in 1894.
The first thing we know, this country's
politics is going to have something to do
with the practical affairs of its citizens,
and then think Of the terrible unemploy-
ment among the professional politicians |!

How Day Came to Be Divided.

The division of the day into hours
appears to have originated with the
Babylonian magiclan-priests thousands
of years before the Christian era.
They devised the zodiac or belt en-
circling the heavens and divided 1t In
to II parts corresponding to the II
consultations. They divided the year
into months, the day and the night
into IL hours each, the hour into GO
minutes and the minute into go sec
onds. These priests were the worlds
greatest astronomers as well as astrol-
ogers, and their calendar was un-
changed until the time Of Julius
Caesar. All civilized nations use this
system Of dividing the day.

THE BOIL WEEvIL MENACE

Senator Smith, of South Carolina, has
announced that he will urge that the plant
ing of cotton be suspended for one year
as means of eradicating the boil wevil.
The plan is drastic enough to direct at
tention to the fight being made against the
pest which, in the southern states, it is es-
timated, does $40,0OO,00O damages an
nually, but the plan has little merit in other
respects.
The boil weevil is moth that deposits
single egg in 500 or more cotton flowers
or bolls. The egg matches in a short time,
and the grub eats its way to the center of
the flower, causing it to fall from the stalk.
The grub moves to another bloom before
the flower falls and continues it's work of
destruction. Government experimental
stations have been established throughout
the south to find way to combat the in
sect but so far no satisfactory solution of
the problem has been found.
Some of the methods tried are interest
ing Other plants are introduced into
fields OF cotton in an effort to induce the
weevil to change its diet, natural enemies
are imported, and efforts are made to cul-
attack. Such cotton plant is grown in
South America The flower grows around
the grub and kills it, curious in
stance of the combative property of plants
Poisons also are used in experiments
Eventually the inroads Of the pests will be
checked and meantime wise planters are
depending upon other crops and co-operat-
ing with government agents in exhaustive
experimentation.
The boil weevil is a migratory insect and
is said to have made its way into this
country from Mexico. 1t does not survive
cold weather but in summer has been
found as far north as Massachusetts, Per-
haps it spends the winter in Mexico and
the summer in Newport. It is impractical
to prevent cotton growing all over the
world for one year, and if it were and the
situation were serious enough to warrant
such a curtailment of industry, it is prob
able that the insect would turn to other
foods and survive the year. Indeed, one
specimen, snuggled safely away in sack
of cotton seed, nigh defeat a program
which would cost millions of dollars

Bio Price for a Flower.

Ten thousand dollars is an extraor-
binary price for single plant; yet
1t was paid by English horticulturists
for an orchid raised In the United
States. the Catteleyaglgas alba. This
Catteleya was Powered in 1910, and ex-
hiblted at an orchid show In the
United States. where 1t was awarded
a gold medal. The plant was found
In 1909 In lot of other specimens OF
Catteleya gigas. II was only by chance
that the plant was not sold for a dol
lar or two. The only reason was that
after most of its companions had been
disposed of this one, with some others
that were not in very good condition,
was set aside. Finally all the speci-
mens were potted. To the great sur
prise of the horticulturists when. next
spring, the plant came up II was with
pure white flowers. The plant was
sold In London for perhaps the highest
figures that I'm orchid ever brought.

AserIbsd to Unknown Race.

Pits or shallow wells for the collec.

States by the earliest explorers, and
are believed to have been the work Of
that race which lived here before the
Indians came from Asia or Northern
Africa, or wherever they did come
from. The belief Is that these pits
for oil were duG by those unknown
and unaccountable people who built
mounds in the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys, worked lead ores In Kentucky
and mined copper In the Lake Sups-

HOW

DIVERS OF FUTURE MAY
BE SUPPLIED WITH AIR.
Hose for conducting air from
the surface to the diver under
the water has always been con-
sidered indispensable. An elab-
crate system Of pumps operat-
ed either on land or In boats
has been necessary to force
fresh air continuously through
great length of hose to the
man below the surface. Not long
ago, however, 1t was announced
that some Inventive genius had
conceived and, 1t Is said, put
into successful operation a de-
vice which 1t Is thought will do
away with the old apparatus for
diving once the new system Is
perfected.
BY the new method the diver
carries on his back two steel
bottles containing highly COM
pressed oxygen. Another cylin-
der contains chemicals for alb
sorbing the carbonic acid ex-
hailed from the lungs. A system
of piping carries all the impure
air breathed out to a chamber
containing the absorbing chem
ical. In this compartment the
carbonic acid gas Is entirely
eliminated. A small amount of
oxygen, just enough to renew
the air, Is added to the changed
and regenerated exhalations and
passed on to compartment In
the helmet, where 1t can be In
hailed through the nose or the
mouth. By this method the
Initiated air Is continually be-
Ing made over into new. The In
ventor contends that his device
will do away with the accidents
and loss of life which have &C.
casionally occurred through de-
fects In the diving hose or
pumping apparatus.
