right the Castle of Europe the left The
in 1470 not long after Constantinople fell to
the Turks. Ever since Chanak has been a
place of Importance In recent decadeS it
has been the point of administration for all the
Dardanees defenses the .olar plexus of the
outer straits. German artillery experts resided
there during the World war and modernized
the Notifications.
"Chanak, too, has been the gateway to Con-
stantinople for shipping. There each of the
1000 ships that passed through the Darda-
neles in pre-war days was held until its papers
were found to be satisfactory; and none could
pass after nightfall. Nearby was anchored an
important unit of the Turkish fleet.
.To the western observer steaming up the
Dardaneles the roles of Asia and Europe s@fn
reversed. All the scenic beauty is on the
Asiatic side, where the steep slopes are clad
with beautiful forests. The European side is
rugged and largely barren.
"Of the beauty spots on the Asiatic shore few
surpass those about Chanak, where the con-
stricted stream suddenly widens out to form
at once the Dardanelles most striking cape
and bay. Barely five miles to the south are the
ruins of the ancient city of Dardanus, which
gives the strait its name. A few miles farther
to the southeast rises Mt. Ida, where gods COM
mand and from where flowed the famous
Scamander to water the plains of Troy"

RAT CATCHERs ON A STRIKE
MAKE USUAL DEMANDS

In these unsettled times it was inevitable
that rat catchers should organize a union and
make the next gesture which is strike for
more pay and shorter working hours. The first
rat catchers' strike on record is reported from
Boston, where raids on rodents were halted
while the strikers set forth their demands.
The rat catchers worked from at night
until in the morning, receiving 60 liz cents
an hour on week days and pay and one-half
for working during the day Sunday. They
want shorter night, starting at 10 o'clock
instead of 6, and 80 cents an hour, with no
Sunday work.
Employers declare that the demands cannot
be met, particularly the working hours Sun
day in stores, warehouses and other places
where goods are kept that whet the appetites
of rats, is the best day in the week for ex-
terminating these pests, since business is sus-
pended and the rat catchers have a clear
field, aided by dogs and ferrets.
Rat catching is not overcrowded pro-
fession and it's members must be classed as
an hour may not be an excessive wage, when
they save thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty that would otherwise be destroyed by ro-
dents, but they are showing the kind of dunno
ness that too often characterizes strikers when
they ask to be relieved from working on the
only day when they can get the best results.

HOMICIDAL ART
From the St. Louis Dispatch.

ooe-A~iopccSAs
Fashion plate artists have been charged be-
fore the Psychotherapy society of Paris with
having caused the death of many young women
who undertook to starve themselves into the
hollow-chested, hipless, rarified and attenu-
ated creatures depicted by the artists as models
of fashion.
1t is really no fault of the artists that
their pictures are taken literally. The point
of weakness, to be severely truthful, consists
of vacuity meath the scented coiffures of
the victims. But it should be considered that
they young, that the susceptible and es-
thetic element of the opposite conspires to
make fools Of them and that our Christian
civilization is somewhat devoted to the sur
vival of the unfittest.
Moreover, here is the one chance for Title,
the cash girl, and Ethel of the ribbon counter
to put it over on the daughters of the rich.
For the sweated working girl to go without
lunch is godsend for the candy-loving pet
of limousine and matinee it is little less than
a crucifixion. In the true interests of equal
ity, or perhaps of the Emersonian principle of
compensation, the fashion-plate artist should
be undisturbed.

NEWS WRITING SHOULD BE
FREE FROM BIAS

Senator Medill Mccormack, addressing an
Illinois school of journalism, predicts a re-
turn to the semi-editorial style of news re-
porting by the daily press. He claims news
paper readers want not only presentation Of
facts, but also intelligent Interpretation
of those facts by the writer.
The senator, who is himself publisher of a
great newspaper, is probably feeling the In
fluence of bis Washington environment, where
political news writing dominates. He is cor
rect in that newspaper readers like their po-
litical news interpreter. When political news
is recorded they like to have the opinion of
writer in whom they have confidence the
significance and bearing Of that news.
That accounts for the success of political
writers Of national reputation who write under
their own signatures. That is the reason every
metropolitan newspaper which is leader in
its territory keeps one or more of its ablest
staff men at the center of the nations po-
litical life.
But as for turning reporters or editors loose
to write their views of all events in the news
columns, that day will probably never return.
The really successful newspapers which seek
to be of value to readers of all classes and
shades of opinion, will continue to be those
which chronicle events in their news columns
impersonally and reserve expression Of opinion
for the editorial page.
On controversial events the news writer must
be absolutely unbiased because he is writing
to give information to both sides. When ne
editoriaiizes IN his news story, he may please
those readers who agree with his views, but he
has not only offended others, but has failed in
his duty asian unbiased chronicler Of events.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ILLNESS

"There is always certain ratio of persons
who become psychologically i'll following every
epidemic" said DR.. ]. D. Bowling, county health
officer. "This fact was proven by the ques-
tonnaires whifl were turned in following the
recent food poisoning at the Woodlawn High
school. Out of the number of students who
were i'll from eating sandwiches, ten students
who had not partaken of these sandwiches were
also ill, and manifested the same symptoms as
those who had eaten the sandwiches. I attribute
their Illness to the fact that they had seen SO
much of the sickness about them that they
themselves actually developed the illness"

MORE COTTON FOR THE WORLD

From the New York Herald.
If the indications of the world hold good
there will be more cotton in this cotton year
than there was in the last, for man civilized and
man uncivilized, both needing and taking cot
ton when and as they get it.
In the United States the planted acreage is
10 per cent larger than last year, and the con-
dition of the crop is better In Egypt the in
crease is estimated at ID per cent and in India
for the area thus far planted per cent with
satisfactory conditions.
Indicated yields in those three areas, pro-
ducing 85 to 80 per cent of the world cotton
supply, are 10,500,000 bales for the United
States, 100000 for Egypt and about $780,
600 for India. There have been years when
this country alone produced more cotton than
the foregoing. Our crop in 1911 was 1892
701 bales and in 1914 more than 16 100 900.
But nobody wants to see another such cotton
situation as there was in 1914, with the war
coming to cut off foreign cotton markets and
with so huge a supply as there was in this coun-
try.
Cotton is not king when it is too cheap
