Can American Chemistry Solve The
Boil Weevil Problem?

A report has reached financial
circles in New York to the effect that
the British have discovered a cheap
and absolute specific for the boil
weevil. It may be that this statement
has been given circulation in the
hope that it might bear the cotton
market. 1t may, on the contrary, be
true.
The chemical industry in this
country is very properly being given
the more or less complete protection
it requires until il can attain the
strength necessary to compete on
,vcn terms with the German indus
try. That protection carries with it
a moral responsibility on the part
of the chemical industry to give high
public service. Only this week it is
announced hal the German chemi-

cal cartel has evolved a specific for
sleeping sickness, the economic eff
fects of which, in opening up for en-
ploitation sections of Africa now
abandoned, are bound to be momen-
tous. German chemistry has contrib
uted in incalculable terms to the
health of human kind.
The nation has a right to expect
the domestic chemical industry to
attack and solve some of it's great
problems. Chemistry it has long been
obvious muust find the cure for the
boil weevil. Is it too much to expect
that some of the great chemical
firms, enjoying special privileges
from the Government, will devote
some part Of their experimental ca
pacity to a study of the boil weevil
problem? They have the brains that
may be expected to find an answer.
It is a service the nation has a right
to ask of them.

Greater Than a King.

The strong man of Italy is doing
things which no crowned head in the
world would dare to do. He is treat
ing the legislative bodies of his coun
try as if they were merely means for
the accomplishment of his ends. 1t
might have been expected that MUsso-
LINZ, after attaining the Premiership
and sending his Fascist home, would
employ the methods of diplomacy in
guiding the Deputies Instead Of this
he treats the Chamber Of Deputies
with contempt that is at once aston
ishing and magnificent. He scorns a
vote of confidence, knowing that he
probably could not get it. He tells the
Deputies not what he wants them to
do but what they must do or be
dissolved.
Such a course as MUssoLINI has
taken would be impossible in Anglo
Saxon countries. But the dictator
knows his people. He knows that he
is regarded as having rescued them
from the violence of Bolshevists and
the cowardice of politicians. He took
his Premiership practically by force,
with the King approving. He feels
that by any methods available he
must redeem Italy from anarchy
idleness, poverty and politics. AS
dictator disguised as a Prime Min
lister he strikes at the enemy as di-
rectly as if he had an army of half
million men surrounding Rome.
1t will be the old story. The auto
crat will be forgiven his autocracy-
if he wins.

was ignorance OF such things that
led the wife to her pitiful fate.
Tragedy such as that which sep
arated Mr.. and Mrs. GALLO in the
subway sometimes blackens the lives
of those who fail to understand the
ways of life in New York. The wife
died in Bellevue Hospital while her
husband sought her. Alone, the per-
plexities of the strange, big city had
been too much for her. When she
was too weak to look for him further
she succumbed Thus like the Ga
briel and Evangeline of an earlier
century were they torn apart.
The two victims of this city's re-
cent tragedy may have passed near
one another in their search for each
other. But again, like the lovers in
LoNGFEILow's poem, they never met
in this life.

John L. Sullivan's Joke.
A Trick Played on Richard X. Fox's
Sporting Editor.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: While the
late Richard X. Fox was the owner and,
publisher of the Police Gaeette he was
not as picturesque a figure as his sport
ing editor. Colonel William T.. Harding,
who represented him at prize fights, six
day walking matches and other contests
in which one of the Police Gayette tro-
phies was part of the reward.
Harding was IN Englishman of tncer-
tain age with a penchant for red cravats
equal to that OF w. f. Howe. Lean to
the point of cadaverousness, with a
waxed mustache rivaling the ravens
wing in color. he was given to wearing
clothes that matched his cravats.
Harding never lost an opportunity to
advertise his chief. Sometimes he was
little too insistent In his search for pub
licity and was punished by the bunch OF
jovial followers of the prize ring who
were either friends or hackers of the
favorites of the day. Fox offered a belt
for the heavyweight championship, and
1t was part of the award gained by
John l.. Sullivan when he beat Jake
Kilrain at Richburg. Miss. on July s.,
1889. Sullivan was not fond of Harding
or his master and on the way home after
the battle he made the Colonel the VIC
tim of a practical joke which was appre-
ciated to the fullest by Charlie Johnson,
Jimmy Wakely and others i'm the party.
The authorities OF Louisiana and Mis-
slssippi had apparently done their best
to stop the fight and warrants were out
in Mississippi for the principals, their
seconds and hackers as soon as the bat
tie was over. The wags of the party
told Harding before leaving New Orleans
that he was wanted particularly as an
accessory. and the Journey was begun
with misgivings. BY an arrangement
with the conductor a bogus dispatch was
read to Harding at the first stop saying
that he would be taken into custody at
Pass Christian. Miss.
Johnson had n section in the sleeper
made up. forced Harding TO go 10 bed.
and once in possession OF his clothes
kept them till the arrival OF the train in
Cincinnati At Pass Christian and other
points fake officers held colloquies with
the jokers, Harding meanwhile covered
with blankets despite the torrid weather
That was an experience Harding never
lived down.
In the days when road riding was
fashionable Fox bought a pair OF trot-
tets, which he named Police Gazette
and Emma X, and drove in Seventh
avenue. He was an ardent seeker after
notoriety and a type OF which he was
virtually the last In New York.

Results of the Election.
Voters Dissatisfied With Democrats
as Well ms Republicans.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Now that
the election is a thing OF the past and
the Republicans have had time to pom
der over the results they have much
to console themselves with.
In the first place the Republican
party is still the country's dominant
party, as we have Republican Presi-
dent and O. Republican Congress by a
safe margin.
In the second place the Democrats did
not escape the wrath of the public
either. Senator Pomerene of Ohio. ono
of the ablest men In the Senate, should
have been reelected on the strength OF
the Democratic tidal wave that swept
the country, even IL his constituents for
got his great ability and service to his
State and country. Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska also fell by the wayside.
II seems that the people were dissat-
ished with all who held public office and
not because they were Republicans or
Democrats. There is strong under
current OF unrest among the people and
We're the Democrats the dominant party
to-day they would probably have suf-
fered as much at the hands of the vot-
ers as the Republicans did.
President Harding and other Republi-
can leaders have ample time to rectify
the mistakes Of the last two years and
win back the voters who left the Repub-
lican fold by giving the people as nearly
what they want as it is possible to give
them. NJ. r. +.

often in mud fetlock deep, heats OF as
much as three miles, makes the horse
men OF to-day marvel at the toughness
of the fiber of those wire and whipcord
champions.
That Deceive should be going strong
at twenty Is not considered remarkable
by cavalry officers familiar with his
qualities. They have seen him achieve
the highest honors at the Olympia and
other great shows where the classes are
open to the world. One moro test means

SYRACUSE, Nov. l7-Dr. Charles Yves
ley Flint. inducted into office as chan
ceilor of Syracuse University to-day.
declared in his inaugural address that
the institution which seeks not TO protect
itself for one class or type against all
others, but to proteet itself as a servant
of all types against the dominance OF
any one seems most TO reflect the ideal
of America.
"If II receive moro applicants than
can be accommodated" DIR. Flint said.
discussing the problem which now con-
fronts practically all American univer-
stiles, then the proportion Of each
group or class admitted should be such
as TO preserve the balance and corre-
spendence of the institution within to
society without; any other basis would
be contrary to the spirit of America.
1.-The truly American university will
be open to all who can and dare, for
America will not stand for exclusion on
any other basis than demonstrated un-
worthiness, and even tends to give the
benefit of the doubt to the individual
and lay the burden of proof upon the
university. Some way America seems
to hold a doctrine of infinite improv-
ability of the individual and will refuse
to accept the irrevocability of any ex-
cluding classification. Earnestness will
always have q chance. This does not
mean for n moment low standards; set
your hurdles at a proper height and
those who can may.
There Is some danger of too liberal
generalization and therefore too liberal
application of the. results of intelligence
tests. Valuable as they are for place
ment, and probably with greater value
ahead, there are powers of interpreta-
ton, analysis and expression, qualities
of reliability earnestness, persistence
ard resourcefulness, judgment and other
forms of ability, which have not yet
been metered. Indeed, our ability in
this direction is so far short of omnis-
cence that we can scarcely be justified
ir establishing a rigid system OF edu-
cational foreordination or predestina-
tion.
Society" he went on, will soon look
to the universities for leadership In
solving the problems of the spiritual
life, even as IL has in some measure
for leadership in the solution of social
and economic problems and In greater
measure the solution of physical prob
lens.
''Can we probe spiritual mysteries as
successfully as we have physical mys-
teries? Can we set up spiritual stand
ards as clear and as high as our intel
lectual standards?
There is a growing conviction that
we ought to make, as adequate provision
and render as significant service to the
superintellectual in which the intel
lectual finds its goal, as we now have
for the sub-intellectual, the physical,
and that there should be a better ratio
between gymnasia and fields on one
hand and chapels on the other, between
athletic and physical directors on one
hand and religious directors on the
other.

Yale Against Princeton.

On the chalk marked turf at Old
Nassau the Yale and. Princeton
elevens will meet this afternoon for
the forty-sixth time in the oldest
series which the records of American
football disclose. This relationship
between the Bulldog and the Tiger
antedates even the Harvard-Yale
classic, for while the Yale-Princeton
series was started at New Haven
in 1873 it was in 1875 that the
Ellis tackled the Crimson for the first
time.
This second contest OF the classic
series among the Big Three has a
background rich in tradition, rich in
the romance which clings TO football
and football heroes. AS the Yale
Princeton series has grown, so has
American sporting tradition grown,
so has sport itself developed. IL is a
far cry from that pioneer game Of
1873. when a thousand onlookers
gathered around the field at New
Haven to watch the contest which
grew into modern football, to the
battle which will draw $1,000 persons
to the Palmer Stadium to-day.
And the end of this growth is
not yet in sight. Stadiums which
were called colossal only few years
ago and we're expected to provide for
the greatest possible increase in pop
ular interest for the next twenty
years now are pronounced made
auate. When 10000 persons gathered
at Springfield in 1892 to see Yale
meet Harvard amazement was ex-
pressed. Now a Yale bowl with 7s,-
600 seats is too small.
There seems to be no limit to the
popular enthusiasm which may be
developed by clean, sportsmanlike,
virile competition, particularly among
the leading colleges. The football
public knows that IL will see strug-
gle between two teams Of young men
who will make every possible sports
manlike effort TO win, with only glory
for Alma Mater at stake. There are

Big Gun Accuracy.

Accuracy has distinguished Ameri-
can craftsmanship from the time a
backwoodsman first barked a squir-
rel from a tree. 1t would have
warmed the heart and puzzled the
head of SIMON KENToN, scout and
hero of the Revolution and the war
of 1912, if he could have watched the
great guns Of Fort Storey at Norfolk,
on the Virginia coast, Thursday, when
they smashed a line of moving tar
gets twenty miles out at sea. Per-
haps KENToN would have been bit
contemptuous because the man who
fired the gun needed no keenness of
vision, no steadiness of hand. And
they probably would have had to
show him the targets.
o. Twenty miles is we'll within the
range of our largest coast guns, some
of which can be accurately fired as
far as thirty miles. The shooting on
Thursday registered an advance upon
the big gun craftsmanship of the
war; some of it was done not only at
moving targets but from moving
guns, in accordance with the latest
theory of coast defense.
When the Germans used their Big
Berthas on Paris from distances up to
seventy-fve miles their shooting was
far from accurate. Some of the shots
missed Paris completely. That was
partly because the Big Berthas were
not, as it was first thought, specially
constructed weapons but simply naval
guns adapted for longer ranges by
the insertion of sheath which re-
duced the caliber and reinforced the
gun and by other changes.
Our own naval 14-inch guns, which
were first used near the end of the
war, were fired over ranges OF from
twenty to twenty-one miles with high
effectiveness. Apparently there need
be no loss of accuracy as the size of
the guns increases and the ranges
lengthen.
Big gun craftsmanship is a matter
of decimal points in any case, and the
business of range finding has been
brought to a degree of precision and
automatic action which is a prepara-
tion for new wonders. The Ordnance
Department recently announced that
it will install at Panama two instru-
ments for finding the range OF and
following an enemy ship which will
revolutionize coastal defense. They
! are electrically operated, and by au-
tomato addition. subtraction, multi
plication and division are able con-
tinuously to make the changes neces-
sary between discharges.
These two devices, the target COM
puter and the battery computer, make
allowances for the temperature OF
powder, the atmospheric pressure and
the winds direction and velocity.
