U. S. AND US

~ 44yr
Japan. with half our population,
now has only l2,260 autos.
Here in America we have l0,50O.-
900 motorcars. In all other coun-
tries combined only 100000 cars.
This is a revelation about our
comparative stadard OF living. For
the auto, more than any other com
modify is an index OF prosperity
that is, as Americans conceive pros
perity.
apan, comments the Wall Street
Journal, is passing through the BIZ
cycle stage.
The japanese are using 2,l00,-
OU bicycles and about 1000 jim
rikishas-the two-wheeled hooded
cars, drawn by trotting coolies, in
vented by an American missionary.
The bicycle in Japan is slowly
crowding out the jinrikisha. Let's
see, it's about 5 or 20 years since
bicycles were all the rage in Ame-
rica. We are just that many years
ahead of Japan-probably more, for
with its smaller national resources
it will take Japan longer to catch
up with our present state OF auto
mobilism.
In general way, Americans are
from 20 years to 20 centuries ahead
OF other countries in conveniences,
luxuries and standard OF living.
Not bad country. these United
States. when you give the subject
a little thought and grain OF ap-
probation. We are so much bet
ter off than other countries that
out constant grumbling suggests
maybe We have become so accus-
toned 10 the fat OF the land that
We expect too much.
This expecting too much" how
ever, is what has raised US to our
present high average standard OF
living.
No standard OF living is too high,
as long as the national resources
and the productivity of the indivi-
dual make the standard possible. All
= matter OF production. We cannot
eat crops that aren't grown. live in
houses that aren't built, or burn
coal that isn't mined
Money is Just the medium OF ex-
change, the oil that makes the
wheels OF distribution turn. Real
prosperity is in production. Wheih-
er the standard OF living is to go
up or down irom now on depends
on whether We work hard or LOAF
on the job. And this is true all
along the line, barring the minor.
ity-thieves and parasites.

Another Epidemic

l am tired of South Sea beaches,
of the velvet tropic night; l am
tired of dusky peaches who can't
read or write. | am weary of the
blighters featured in the South Sea
tales. and l think lot of writers
should be in as many jails. For they
always rise and follow every man
who leaves track, trail him to the
hole or hollow where he's built his
little shack: and they watch his
every motion, doing all they see
him do, and along the southern
ocean they have swarmed year or
two. Some one wrote of island
dwellers in fine and charming
style, and these initiative fellers-
each must have his coral isle! Oh,
I'm tired of all the stenches that
infest the southern seas, and I'm
sick of greasy wenches sitting under
banyan trees, and I'm sick of ship
wrecked seamen, and of blue and
silver bays. and of that old deathless
demon who is known as Bully
Hayes. l am sick of parrots scream
ing in a tropic neighborhood, and
of basking loafers dreaming when
they should be saving wood. And
the authors who go trailing every
where a leader wends from the
South Seas should come sailing, for
they're boring all their friends.

GEOLOGY ON SCREEN.
"World of Rock-Ribbed Darkness
in Movie Picture.

The first attempt ever made in this
country to visualize the science of
geology was displayed before dis
tinguished audience of scientists and
prominent people at a private screen
ing of moving picture entitled "A
World Of Rock Ribbed Darkness" at

survey and the educational depart
ment of the state of Virginia, begins
with diagrams showing the formation
of limestone on the bed of the ocean,
which at that time, centuries. ago,
was only $50 feet below the surface
of the water The limestone deposits
were formed from the millions Of
shells Of the animals that lived and
died in the ocean at that period. Con-
tinuing the picture showed that after
a number of years the ocean bottom
sank to lower level and the water
above became full of mud which sank
shale through pressure. During the
time that the water contained thick
mud animal life disappeared. only to
reappear once more upon the clear
ing Of the water and became again

posit which sank and formed an ad-
ditional strata on top of the shale.
AS explained in the picture this is
the manner in which the geological
deposits of the hills that contain the

DENIES u. S. CLERKS.
MERIT CRITICISM
Representative Andrews, at
Retired Employees Session,
Lauds Efficiency.

Declaring that government en-
ployes as whole do not by any
means merit criticism on account of
the efficiency of their work, Repre-
sentative William E. Andrews of
Nebraska, in an address last night
at a meeting OF the Association of
Retired Federal Employees at the
Interior Department auditorium.
threw down the gauntlet to those
members of Congress who claim govern
ment employees loaf" on the job.
Compares With Others.
"No body of workers, or men or
where, are more efficient than the
government clerks" Representative
,, Andrews said. He stated he had
been associated with government
employees for nearly thirty years, and
had found them hard-working, eff
ficient and willing.
Representative Andrews assert ed
that there is possibly more dead
wood at the bottom, that is. among
the younger members of the classi-
fed civil service. than among the
older employees. He added than an
employe who has years of experience
and training behind him is vastly
more valuable than young employe
who does not know how to transact
the governments business. The
mere fact that an employe has
reached the three score and ten mark
does not mean that he is inefficient
and should be retired, Mr.. Andrews
added.
Speaking of the recent turnover
at the bureau Of engraving and
printing. Representative Andrews
said he had made study of the
Civil Service Commission and had
found that 'it has nothing more be-
hind it than the will of the President
and the stroke of the Presidents
pen."
"It will stand" he added. "only as
long as it is backed by public
opinion" The Nebraska representa-
tive declared himself in favor of
higher allotments of money for re-
tired employees.
History of the association from it's
beginning in 1905 was reviewed by
Col. T. F. Swayze. He said the as
sociation fund now amounted to
more than $16.0o0.000.

ing conducted by subcommittee of
the Fine Arts Society. and from time
to time The Star, through the CO.
operation of experts. will publish
simple instructions for the cultivation
of flowers.
Some good summer Towering climb
ers may be had later on. IL seeds are
planted at once. Among these are
the cardinal climber, cathedral bells,
purple in color; morning glories, in
various colors; Japanese morning
glories, evening glory. violet color;
the white moon vine, Madeira vine,
balloon vine, hyacinth bean. black
eyed Susan and balsam apple.
Little is necessary to make any of
these sprout successfully. In SOW
ing seeds. cover them with soil about
three times their own thickness, and
space about a yard apart. Place about
six seeds in each ring. then when
they have grown large enough, thin
out so that about two plants are left.
This is dohe to prevent overcrowding.
