Automobilists Overlooked.
No Life Preservers Provided fol
Their Use on Some Ferries.

To TIE NEW YORK HERALD: Now
that the touring automobilist is about
to discontinue the trips In which he
uses the various ferryboats and has
time to consider that some provision
for his personal safety and that of his
guests should be made, It occurs to me
that the managers of all ferryboats car
rying automobiles should provide life
preservers for those in automobiles
which should be available in case Of an
accident
The ordinary passenger on the ferry-
boat has access to life preservers under
the seats and over them. but nothing
of the kind is provided for those who
are in automobiles in the center Of the
boat, and with less room to move about
In case OF accident than the foot pas
senger has
It would not be unreasonable to ask
ferryboat managers to install life pre-
servers at the sides of the gangways
where the automobile Is obliged to re-
main during the Journey on the ferry,
and the United States authorities should
see that something is done in this re-
gard. JUpEx.

The Ways of Tidal Waves.

Political landslides and tidal waves
account for everything. AL SMITHS S
enormous popularity swept in his
State ticket, though far behind his
colossal majority, but at that with
pluralities for all his running mates
that in ordinary years would be dunn
founding.
1t carried along COPELAND for the
United States Senate still further be-
hind the head of the State ticket and
yet out of sight of the Calder vote.
But with all that swirl and sweep
wrenching so many political vessels,
great and small, from their moorings,
AL SMITH did not carry both branches
of the Legislature. He did not utterly
demolish New York's delegation in
the House of Representative in Con-
gress. He left many minor strong
holds safe and sound.
1t was a landslide. but 1t had its
limitations, as even a plurality of
half million must have its limita-
tions, as indeed WARREN G. HARDINa's 8
plurality of million and moro had
It's limitations two years ago when
some Democratic strongholds were
saved out of the wreck.
These are the ways OF political
landslides and tidal waves.

Evidently the Public Does Not Ap.
preciate Their Value.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: It 10
apparent from II. II. Young's letter in
reply to my communication of October
2s that the Pennsylvania Railroad has
done what II can TO dispose of its dis
carded ties 70 good advantage. and the
system is highly to be commended for
so doing. assume that other railroads
win. If they are not already doing SO.
follow the example OF the Pennsylvania.
or course l did not suggest that the
public be permitted to walk all over the
railroad companies property in search OF
old ties. What l did suggest was that
laborers employed by the companies be
assigned to gather the ties and place
them on fiat cars which could be hauled
to points where thcy could be disposed
OF to persons who might wish TO pur-
chase them.
We must infer from Mr Youngs let
ter that some dealers in firewood and
the public to some extent are to blame
because the railroad companies arc com
PEELED to destroy some of the ties In
time like the present. with coal SO hard
10 obtain. people should not be so par
ticular as TO what kind OF fuel they burn
Soon we will have freezing weather. and
when It comes some of those persons
who are unable to get all the coal they
need to keep their houses warm will
wish they had few Of those old rail-
road ties.
Undoubtedly there Is more or less
dirt, grit and Stag In those ties that arc
cracked That should not hinder you
from buying a few cords OF them II you
can get them cheap. With nrewood
selling at from SIS to s25 cord and a
cord of railroad ties costing you about
IS you could afford to buy new saw
and ak for each cord II necessary.
"Experience'' OF West Haven. Conn.
suggests that procure five Of those old
ties. a bucksaw and an AK and 20 TO It.
In my young life OF nifty odd years
have used both bucksaw and AK on more
than one occasion cutting up railroad
ties and cordwood. Both implements
are In my cellar ready for use.
IN admit that pushing a bucksaw and
swinging an ak is no childs play. that
1t is much more strenuous than playing
golf. but It's good exercise for a healthy
person. INDUCED in moderately II will
keep the doctor away. provided the AK
does not cut you instead OF the wood.
A number OF persons with whom
have talked said they would be glad TO
purchase some Of those old railroad ties,
Notwithstanding tho difficulties encoun-
tered in cutting them up. III the de-
mand for them Is great enough no doubt
the railroad companies viii gather them
up and haul them to points where
wanted. H. II. J.. bEsHNER

The Minimum Wage Decision.

The decision OF the Court OF Ap-
peals in the District OF Columbia
against the constitutionality of the
minimum wage law for women en-
acted for the District by Congress
does not settle the question. The
case will be hurried into the United
States Supreme Court for it's deci-
sion. But even a confirmatory judg-
ment against the minimum wage law
by the highest tribunal would not
settle the question, and in the opin-
ion of THE NEW YORK HERALD IL
ought not to settle the question.
II Is the conviction of this news
paper that II necessary the nation
will write into its fundamental law
the principle that employers shall not
pay able-bodied workers of a given
productive capacity In a given classi-
fication less than a fixed amount
known as the minimum wage, be-
cause IL Is not a sound practice and a
safe condition to have masses of our
population working for less money
than they can live on decently and
comfortably, not a sound practice
and a safe condition for labor. for
industry or for the State.
Both the immediate strength and
the ultimate life OF the nations eco
nomic, social and moral being are in
volved in this matter. because neither
the American standard of living nor
the American standard OF achieve
ment-and the one is inseparable from
the other-can become debased with
out the complete Generalization OF
the American spirit and the fatal coll
lapse OF American supremacy.
II Is true enough, as the court
says, that II a minimum wage law Is
right for women II is right for men.
But what il It is? And II Is true that
under existing constitutional pro-
visions II IL is good law to fix a min
imum wage It is good law to fix
maximum wage, with the apparent
nulllncatlon or the right or contract
and of the liberty Of the free citizen
to work at his chosen occupation and
on his own terms. But even those
points can he met by suitable legisla-
tive provision and individual action.
AS matter OF fact. the minimum
wage is in operation in thousands OF
American industries by agreement
and contract. And IL seldom OF never
slavishly holds all the workers Of
a given labor class down to the mini
mum wage. The individual wage
Garner is and can always remain a
free agent to work or not TO work at
that minimum wage The individual
employer is and can always remain q
free agent TO pay more than the mini
mum wage to any worker, the higher

Red Russia Fools Itself.

The fourth annual congress of the
Third International Is now In ses-
sion at Petrograd. 1t will listen to
the usual stupidities and then ad-
journ, having fed itself with the hope
that the people of other countries
can be handled as easily as the people
of Russia have been handled.
A dispatch from the seat of its de-
liberations says that "the persecution
of Communists in the United States"
is the subject of much discussion
among the delegates. ZINovIEFF, of
the Soviet Central Committee, is in
dignant because Communists are sent
to prison merely for adhering to their
cause.
AS matter of fact, this country Is
more interested in keeping out Com
munists than it is in boarding them
In it's jails. 1t jailed one last Monday
because he smuggled himself back
here after he had been deported. 1t
is not at all interested in getting It's
hands on Big Bill HAYWOOD, who Is
now reported to be starving with
10000 other deluded men and women
with their children, members of his
colony In Siberia, and who instinc-
lively turns for help to the Relief Ad-
ministration of the United States,
the nation whose institutions he has
so often reviled.
Before they get too excited ZINo-
vIEFF and his friends might inquire
what the rest of the world thinks
about the state of freedom of thought
and action in Russia. After they
have ceased prosecution of the Social
Revolutionists and the Mensheviki,
after they have permitted free elec-
tions to the Soviets, after they have
abandoned censorship and released
their political prisoners, they may
turn to the consideration Of what
America does to protect.itself against
this particular sort of vermin.

Of the irregularly shaped implements are
most worn. II may be ascertained with
which hand prehistoric man was in the
habit of working mainly. The investi-
cations. which took various prehistoric
implements into account, revealed the
fact that men of the older and also of
the more recent Stone Age worked with
both hands almost indiscrminately.
At the beginning Of the age Of bronze,
however. very sudden departure. from
the ancient habit is noticeable for now
almost all work is done with the right
hand. as is shown by the fact that the
implements show, from now on, the ef-
fects OF wear in such places as indicate
usage with the right hand. 1t is hard
to say what may have been the cause for
this sudden change from the uniform use
OF the two hands. Sarafin assumes that
religious motives which possibly ascribed
a baser Significance to the left hand re-
stricted It's use, just as to-day popular
superstition regards the left hand as
eDlblematic of evil, while the right hand
is spoken Of as indicative of all that Is
good.

Farming Praised.
It Is Healthful For Not Only the
Mind hnf the Body Also.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Talking
recently with one of the successful
farmers In Pennsylvania he told me he
had very seldom had any failure In his
crops during his forty-ive years OF
farming One secret of his marked sue
cess was the perpetual care that he gave
his land. and another was chemistry
which he studied and followed from q
young man. applying the same to agri-
culture. for chemistry works continually
In every soil and subsoil.
The sun which ripens every vegetable
and fruit which Is grown. filling these
with succulent nutriment, also paints
with beauty the violet and the rose. II
was never known where the man that
invented the plow was born nor where
he died, yet he has effected more happi-
ness in the world than the whole race
OF heroes and OF conquerprs who have
drenched II with tears and fertilized II
with blood, and whose birth and parent
age and education have been handed
down to US with precision exactly pro-
portionate TO the mischief they have
done.
From a moral point of view the life
Of the agriculturist is the most TO be
desired of any class Of mon, for sucn
a life Is not only heelthful to the mind,
but to the body also.

Honey That Drove Men Mad.


In the September Issue OF DISCOVERY Pro.
fessor w. r. Halliday. with the help of his
colleague Professor Mclean Thompson. has
cleared up difficulty unsolved by editors
OF xenophon's "Anabasis.'' The historian
describes how the retreating Greeks, when
they arrived near Treblzond. ate some honey
with effects ranging from intoxication to in
sensibilty. Some authorities have denied
that poisonous honey found In Pontus
but the writers now point out that there Is
no evidence to show that the breed of bees
In Pontus. or the general climatic condition.
was responsible for this poisonous honey.
When honey II produced IN excess and the
flcrai parts fail to develop there results an
accumulation of byproducts In which toxins
abound. When the competition for nectar
pollen. Is intense many insects develop n
biting habit piercing the tissues of plant.
In search OF short cuts to food supply. and
this habit results In tho formation OF poi
soned honey. The observation OF Pliny that
honey was poisonous in some seasons and
not In others is thus proved to be accurate
and can be. explained on scientific grounds.
