1.-THE MOST interesting and most important
II news to individuals deals with methods of
. lengthening human life. OF what significance
are the details of great battle in China a great
famine in Russia compared with the announcement
that the average expectation of life in the District
of Columbia has been increased by few years?
All science. might say, has three objects-to
make life comfortable. to make life more
progressive and to make life longer. To the
human the fundamental principle of everything
is lie. The individual starts with the beginning of
life and finishes with the ending of life. so far as
any positive evidence goes.
The District of Columbia lost certain percent
age of her population through death the battle
field and through unusual epidemic of devastat-
ing disease during wartime. Yet this loss has been
made up largely by the increased length of the
average life in this city during the past few years.
The average Washington man can expect with
reason, to live about a years and the average
Washington woman about 20 years, according to
the Department of Commerce which has compiled
statistics on the question This is proud record
for lie city and should silence forever those who
maintain that the climate OF the Capital of the
United States is unhealthy.
Washington ranks we'll above most large
American cities in the average length of life She
ranks below of the country districts of course

OF living? He would be willing to pay everything
he owned and to mortgage all his prospects for the
future. Yet all he needs do is to Washington
where the average male does live seven years
longer. The average Washington woman is better
off even, compared with her Pittsburgh sister She
has the reasonable expectation of about ten years
longer in this world which, with all its faults is
rather satisfactory to of US.
We wonder. if it could be established as a GER

rather suspect this is what would happen. Wash

He may live longer in his home city. But WASH

Prohibition and Reparations.

= ERMANY has had for number of years, an
" anti-saloon league of her own. Before the
war these people made little progress Among the
few things certain to the temper of the
phlegmatic German workman was a proposal to
take away his beer. Since the war, when no small
percentage Of the working class have been poor
to buy much beer anyway, the dry party has made
more headway, although it still has long way
to go. 1t has just issued statement which will
be set down bombastc nonsense by American
vets and conservative statement of facts by
American drys
Germany wastes" says the prohibition organi-
zation, "3,5oo.oooooo gold marks year on alcohol
This would be more than sufficient to pay all the
reparations."
Someone. We presume point out poor logic
in this statement just where the error is however
we can not tell. Alcohol does the German worker
no good. 1t Injuries his efficiency 1t takes money
out Of his pocket that would be better employed
buying material for the comfort of his family What
would be lost if the government took every cent
of money he spends for beer. wine or schnapps and
used it to pay reparations3
If it ever becomes necessary to occupy all Ger
many we wish the allies would enforce for a few
months, merely experiment. an ron-clad pro-
hibition law. Then would be able. perhaps to
where the statement of the Teutonic anti
saloon league is not logical. So much money is
spent. The same amount would pay reparations
The German people get good. only hurt. from
the material purchased with this money. Why not
take it away from theml
OF course. sentiment now is in Europe none
of the allies would dream of following such a
course. They might line the folks of German
village against the wall and shoot them with clear
consciences. But they never would descend to such
cruelty as to take away their beer
However, it may not be necessary that the
experiment be tried by outsiders. A test vote
recently taken by the prohibition forces in the city
O. Bieiefeld shows that some thinking Germans
themselves agree with the dry propaganda This
vote resulted in 1000 for prohibition and only

Optimism That Counts.

THE United States Department of Labor in its
i ihonthy report employment conditions
shows unusual decrease in the number of jobless
men and women throughout the country. In the
District of Columbia, builders complain that they
can not secure enough workmen to efficiently carry
on their operations. Postal receipts gain over 10
per cent in most large American cities during July
ordinarily dull business month.
All this conclusive evidence of returned pros
perty comes to us in spite of the two great indus
trial disturbances which afflicting the nation
the strike of coal miners and the strike of railroad
shopmen. One Of the most remarkable signs of the
times is the fact that these disputes between labor
and CT. ita have failed to shake the public conf
dence. in the coming revival.
Eusness prosperity is. in small measure. a
question of psychology. A nation becomes
prosperous when its people think they prosper
ous Some organizations have spoken harshly Of
the policy followed by many American newspapers
which refrained from using scare headlines about
breadlnes, etc, during the past winter and which
continually maintained that conditions were not so
bad as they seemed The poorest service any news
paper ever could render its public would be to
exaggerate the conditions of unemployment and
industrial depression. Folks achieve much
when they not confident and hopeful
Now however there is no occasion even for
temperng the facts. There still is unemploy-
ment, although it is nconsequentia for the entire
country. But business is coming back-coming
back to a prosperity which will equal the best
known in war days and during the year following
the armstice. Business is coming back to the
stage when wages will be higher because OF the
natural laws OF supply and demand, because indus
try will demand labor and will be willing to pay
what labor is worth.
In the road of returning industrial prosperity
stand these two strikes-if not barriers least
as Iv 1arc he
cerned in these disputes know that they are slow
ing up progress, that they delaying the just
reward of the American people. Yet they can not
get together, they not find basis for amcable
understanding.
The situation is rather grotesque, at the least
1t threatens to develop into tragedy
