The troop is 80 men strong, and is considered one of the crack national guard organizations In Alabama. At a recent inspection the men made the highest percen- tage of all the states similar organ- izations. Capt.

the opinion that this week will
 see the end of the bituminous
 coal controversy"
 As soon as this is accomplished union officials are expected to ask anthracite operators to renew ne- gotiations on q wage scale that were broken off in June. In calling the conference to order today Mir. Lewis the operators from the central com petitive field, but mentioned the gathering as "a joint conference of miners and operators" Besides choosing MT. Gallagher as chairman. the conference elected William Green, secretary treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America as secretary.
 Renew Wages
 Under the plan of settlement to be submitted Wednesday wages paid under the scale that expired last March 31, would be renewed untif March 31, 1928, and while the ad- visory commission would decide what future recommendation as to wages wqould be made for the fu- ture.
 The commission also would be authorized to investigate all ques- tions affecting the coal industry and though it's powers would be purely advisory, both operators and union officials regarded this as an important factor in settling loca, strikes.
 The plan does not specify that any wage agreement signed under it should apply only to the central competitive field, a district com prising Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, which has long been the basis of establishing wages in the soft coal industry. The question whether a single instru- mont between the operators and the union miners for the country would be signed under the plan is left for the decision of the conference. Re- gardless of the decision on this question, it was said, authoritative ly. that the plan contemplated the settlement of the strike for prac- tically all soft coal districts.

Persecution

position is healthful for
living organisms. 1t is buf-
~ feting that makes strong men.
And it is persecution that
strengthens ideas, passions and
popular movements.
When Governor Allen declared
that he would drive the Ku Klux
Klan out of Kansas, perhaps he
did not realize that such an organi-
zation thrives on attacks.
The Jews have been for CEN
turies a prosecuted race, and that
may have something to do with the
fact that the Jewish to-day is one
of the most vigorous of human
stocks.
The early Christian church
throve under persecution so that
the motto was formed "the blood
of the martyrs is the seed of the
church"
In the early days of the temper
anee movement, especially in the
West, anti-saloon sentiment de-
veloped rapidly because of the
vicious attacks made upon prohi-
bition leaders.
1t is even of record in crimi-
nology that the more cruel pun
ishments for crime, the more crime
grows.
All these things illustrate the
law of human nature that many
people forget. 1t is illustrated in
your own family, where the way
to make a boy want to do a thing
is to tell him not to do it and pun
ish him for it.
The Ku Klux Klan is all wrong
and has no standing in a law-abid-
ing community; but we should not
forget the fact that it grew up
because of the laxity of govern
ment.
The only sure way to get rid of
it is to make government strong,
efficient and just, stern even
toward those who constitute them
selves its SUPERFICIAL defenders.
In fact, YOU do not get rid of
any bad trait in human nature bv
fighting it. You get rid of it by
removing the cause.

Licensing Musicians
OPPOSITION is healthful for
living organisms. 1t is buf-
~ feting that makes strong men.

THE proposal has been made
that teachers of vocal and
1 instrumental music in New
York shall be registered and
licensed by the city.
The idea of licensing music
teachers is to protect the legitimate
profession from the charIatan.
This idea may be praiseworthy,
but the proposition to weed out the
takers by a system of licenses is
unSOund.
Licensing is at best unsatisfac
tory. 1t is necessary in the case
of physicians, who have to deal
with matters of public health. But
even there it is subject to grave
abuse.
The licensing of musicians would
open the door to infinite irritation
and good deal of unavoidable
graft.
If the music teachers profession
is to be purified it will have to be
done by the music teachers them
selves.

The Human Angle

HEARLY two of every three
N men mobilized in France dur
~ ing the war were killed or
MANNED. One inhabitant in every
six was mobilized.
Had our America sustained pro-
portionate strain and a proportion
ate loss, instead of $1,000 we should
have had more than 100000 dead :;
instead of 100000 injured, nearly
100000.
The losses we had affected us
keenly, but it is probably impos-
sible for us to realize fully what
France has felt.
If by any possibility we can Wis
ualize these figures and interpret
them in terms of the human spirit,
we can, perhaps, more nearly under
stand why the France of today is
still gripped by acute dread and not
yet in a mood to give reason the
right of way.

who has just won a fellow
i ship from Harvard .Uniyer-
sity. He ought to have a medal.
He is about twenty-five years

That he was able to get through

The young man who ought to be
rewarded is the one who succeeds,
though rich.
AS we read the story of this
young man. our amazement grows
that he ever had stuff enough in
him to succeed in winning a scholar
ship. As baby he had everything
that money could buy. He had
three palatial residences and a
yacht and a special cook, all his
own; a cow that fed on 100000
clover field and special maid to
milk her; farm where squads and
chickens were bred for him alone :;
his own valet, who took care of the
fifty pairs of boots that were his at
the age of four; a room that was a
miniature sand beach and a private
swimming pool.
He had two trained nurses; a
bathtub made of a porcelain swan
and a cradle fashioned of mother
of-pearl; also a special physician
and governess.
How he ever got by and squeezed
into the kingdom of an education
and usefulness through the needle s
eye of so much wealth must cause
exclamations of surprise from men

Of the sausage; and you have a holler coming,
too, but you are hollering down the wrong rain
barrel; the one you want to holler at is the
man from whom you expected the package.
He probably packed II so poorly that the
wrapper came off, or the oil from the sausage
obscured the address. l don't mean by that
that we never make mistakes; we do, but We
don't bury them; you are getting US mixed
with the medical profession. But even sup
pose that one Of our men ate your sausage,
L leave It to you X. c. B.. is It reasonable to
suppose no matter how hungry he was, that he
would have eaten the wrapper too? II he
didn't, and the address was legible you GER

Therefore. won't you help US still further
and ask everyone who mails a package to see
that It is properly wrapped and addressed.

SCIENCE QUERIES
AND REPLIES
BY Edgar Lucien Larkin.
Director Mount LoUe Obserrator,

Director Mount LoUe Observatory.
What is the distance of vega
from the Earth?-A. II. Blakiston
Los Angeles.
THE latest and most refined
determination Of its paral-
lax is 0.136 second of arc. This
means that IL a telescope and
delicate micrometer be taken to
Vega and turned backward to
observe our solar system, the
distance from the earth to the
sun would subtend this minute
arc. Any distant object that ap-
pears to be one second of arc
is known to be 2O6,265 times its
dimensions from the eye.
A radius Of a circle contains
2o6.265 seconds Of arc as meas
ured on the circumference.
Then 206, ,265 divided by 0.136
equals 1,516.654. In miles. the
distance of Vega is the product
Of 1.61s.654 multiplied by s2,-
S97.416. the distance Of the
earth from the sun.
What 10 the distance Of Vega
from the Earth in light years?-
A. H. Blakiston. Los Angeles.
A LIGHT year is the distance
traversed by light in cosmic
space in one year. 1t equals
the product of s1,55s,14s. the
number Of seconds in one year,
multiplied by 1s6S24. the num-
Der of miles traversed by light
in one second. Go multiply the
two numbers first to find the
number of miles to Vega and
divide this distance by the prod

and the quotient will be the dis

District Dny
In the House

<<N ISfRICT DAY" in the
House was until recent
- years respected in that
body. Legislation of Importance to
the people of the National Capital
was always given consideration on
that day. The Districts rights
were not set aside on one pretext
after another.
The Rules Committee has declined
to give next Monday, the regular
District day, for consideration of
District legislation, which includes
the bill just unanimously passed by
the Senate providing adequate pay
for teachers in the public schools.
The present session is short one
and it can be understood why the
House leaders wish to pass appro-
priation bills and start them on
their grind through the Senate, yet
it seems possible that the powerful
Rules Committee could find some
time to set aside for the District.
During the last session, when
months and days were frittered
away and the House killed time in
royal fashion, District day" was
frequently sidetracked on one ex-
cuse or another.
Washington can do no less than
appeal to the Rules Committee and
to House leaders of both parties to
keep faith with the Federal Capital
so that pressing legislation may be
considered and disposed of.
There isn't much use in having
a House District Committee and
wasting the time of its members if
measures framed by this committee
are to be allowed to slumber in the
hands of the chairman.
