ship of children, two social subjects
of importance.
Move Towards Efficiency
The object of the conference, as
stated in its constitution, is to pro
mote uniformity OF State laws on all
subjects where uniformity is deemed
desirable and advisable" 1t seeks TO
afford means for States to hold their
legislative powers which have tended
in some respects TO be absorbed by
the nation congress during the past
few years.
Officers of the conference say that
il tends to provide way that "the
American genius for efficiency may be
accomplished in legislation as in
business without doing violence To the
spirit of American institutions, and
this, not through the development OF
the powers of the general government
to point where Capitalization breaks
down because of bureaucratic inefii-
cheney. but rather through uniform
State action. Uniform State laws
should be secured not always to sup
plement and to re-enforce but also to
forestall Federal legislation"
Besides acting on proposed uniform
State laws submitted by the confer
ence committees, suggestions for ad-
ditional laws will lie received and
considered by the meeting. Its rec
concentrations for legislation are be-
Ing received with increased favor by
State legislatures, the commissioners
say.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS Shame Kills Love

man wants that kind of wife, and when
people marry out of their class and get nus
bands and wives who can't read the keep or
the grass signs of their order, it spells mis-
cry for both parties.
The second reason why the marriages be-
tween the cultured and the uncultured are
disastrous is because shame Stays love quick
er than anything else on earth. Somehow,
our Judgment in matters of the affections does
not suffice. We have to have the 0. K. OF our
little world upon our beloved. When woman
has to blush at her husbands social plumbers,
when a man is mortified by his wifes lack of
knowledge of what to say and do, and when
she looks uncouth amidst the women of his
old set and his family, then they might as
well kiss Cupid goodbye, for he's getting
ready to depart.
OF course, in these unequal matches the
one who has had the better advantage always
thinks that he or she will bridge the gulf by
raising the other to his or her own level, but
only in the rarest cases is this optimistic plan
ever accomplished.
Men and women who have grown to mems
and wonren's estate, have their habits OF
speech and manners SO ingrained that it is al
most impossible to change them. 1t can only
be done when the individuals, themselves,
realize their deficiencies and are humble
enough to be willing to be taught, and amD1-
t10uS enough to pend all their energies To-
wards learning. This marvel can be accom-
plished especially with women, who are nat
urally more adaptable than men. Two of the
most elegant women I know were crude, I'M
educated girls whose husbands had them
trained after marriage by tutors who taught
them how to dress and which fork to use, to
speak good English and read good litera-
ture.
AS a general thing, however, the woman
who has been beautiful enough to capture
husband above her own rank in life, or the
man who has had ability to raise himself
above the level to which he was born, are
too egotistic to be willing to learn. They
admire themselves so excessively that they
think no Improvement is necessary, and they
affect to despise the refinements which are
not theirs by Inheritance.
And, especially, do they resent any crlt1-
cism from their husbands or wives, and this is
natural and inevitable because the one per-
son in the world in whose eyes we wish, to
think ourselves altogether admirable Is the
man or woman to whom we are married.
1t is dangerous experiment marrying out
of your class. 1T is better to wed those who
have the same feeling about split infinitive
that you have, and who eat a soft boiled egg
in the manner to which you are accustomed.

Still Counting War Costs

@OMPUTERS who still are trying to de-
termine the financial cost of the
World War with the rather limited
records available now reckon it at approx
mately eight-five billion dollars sum
which could hardly be called fpicayunish
When Adam Smith, about century and
half ago, referred to "the progress of the
enormous debts which at present Cypress
and which in the end will probably ruin all
the great nations of Europe" Great Britain
owed some six hundred and twenty-five mil
lion dollars, trifle to the aggregate of her
present obligations; and in proportion has
grown, the Indebtedness of the world, es-
pecially since 1914. Prior to that year the
grand total of international debts was thir-
ty-five billion sixty-nine million dollars to-
dred and ninety-three billion six hundred
milliop dollars. The vaster part of the in
crease is, of course, for war.
But the cost of actual conflict is neither
the beginning nor the end of war bills Far
greater is the cost of preparation and of the
dreary epilogue We like to think of the
United States of America as a peace-loving
republic. Yet of the four and half billion
dollars spent by this Government in the Sec
ond year after the armistice ninety-two and
six-tenths per cent went for war debts and
war purposes. Thus the eighty-five billion
dollars now estimated as the cost of the war
is but dwarfish fraction of the gigantic
whole, even if we stop at the merely none
tary phase. Go on to the moral and the hui
man, and we soon pass the bounds of the
calculable.

FACTOGRAMS

Zoroaster-About 1000 B. c., this man
established a new religion, one that drew
a sharp line between goodness and bad
ness, goodness becoming a divine person
and judging man after death. 1t contained
also an evil spirit that was the forerunner
of the Satan of the Hebrews and the Chris
tians This religion, which started in the
east, became the dominant religion of the
Modes and Persians about 700 B. G.
The Plymouth Colony, founded by the
I ilgrims in 1920, had hard struggle with
the climate of Massachusetts,, sickness and
the Indians (King Phillips war took place
in 1879. In 1881 the Plymouth Colony
was united with the powerful south of
them, Massachusetts Bay.
More Than Doubled-The amount paid
by the public for admissions to theaters,
concerts, cabarets, baseball games, etc., as
determined from federal tax collected for
the fiscal year was 1897, 100000; more than
twice the United States appropriations for
military purposes ($418, 100000 for regular
army, national guard and organized re-
serves), during the same period.
Where Average Mans Dollar Goes-The
department of labor studied this problem in
nineteen cities and reported as follows:
1872 per cent on food housing, 1876 per
cent; clothing, 16. per cent; furniture, 81
per cent; fuel, 5.9 per cent; recreation and
all other expenditures, 21.3 per cent.

Realities and Rebarat;ons

- HE payment of ten million dollars in
gold which was due from Germany
this week has been allowed by the
commission of experts at Paris to go over
until the Allied Governments reach a deci-
sion on the request for substantial respite"
In the reparation terms. Meanwhile, those
with whom that decision rests appear to be
see-sawing between economic fact and politi-
cal fancy. They are impressed by the advice
of their financial counselors that attempts to
collect indemnity where there is now no
wherewithal to pay is anything but good
business; at the same time, they fear the re-
action of popular sentiment if they are placed
in the attitude of favoring the late enemy.
What deal of trouble the world would
be spared, in things of the least to the largest
moment, If human issues were decided by
reason and reality rather than passion and
prejudice. In business, men steer by facts
and figures; in science they welcome and
diligently seek truth; but in politics how
often do they forsake these dependable paths
to follow pell-mell wherever the impulse of
the hour may lead!
One who has observed the thirteen confer
ences held on the reparations question writes
that the heads of the Governments repre-
sented are probably as ready as their finan-
cial advisers to admit, in private converse
ton, that something can no more be paid
than made out of nothing" but that "the
difficulty is in avowing the fact back home
before legislative bodies whose leaders may
know the situation as well as the cabinets
but may in turn fear the local comment of
the street and the cafe" Thus for want Of
courage to tell unpleasant truths or rather
for excess of sentimentalism in the common
political consciousness, the security and eco
nomic welfare of all Europe are imperiled
The question is not what Germany ought
to pay The question is what can she pay?
Only on that basis can practical conclusions
be reached and decisions be enforceable. Long
ago the ablest French economists argued to
this purport, but politicians would not hear
them. Now British craftsmanship is arguing
to that same end, and politicians must listen,
or else bring on grievous catastrophe.

TWO RARE DIsEAsEs-By Frederic ]. Haskin

If c1onorchiasis has ever been known to de-
velop in the United States. 1t is entirely iln-
ported by its victims, most, If not all, OF whom
are Chinese and Japanese. The public health
surgeons estimate offhand that one OF every
100 Chinese in the United States is suffering
from it. Any alien suffering with clonorchi-
aSis is barred by the quarantine regulations
from entering the United States, but the dis
ease is often hard to detect, and undoubtedly
numerous sufferers get in.
The scientists studying clonorchiaSis have
revealed the fact that nature can Guido the
most imaginative novelist when it comes to
stretching the long arm of coincidence. Most
informed persons are aware of the curious
life cycle of the malaria germ, which, after
leaving the body of carrier, must undergo
stage of existence in the body of mos
quito The life cycle of the liver fluke, as
the worm is called which causes this disease,
goes far beyond that Of the malaria germ in
completely.
Suppose fiction writer were to develop
detective story in which he would have the
villain commit murder in this way: The
villain would implant certain infection in
dog. Then he would arrange it that the eggs
of the murderous organism should leave the
dog and take up residence in snail. The
snail would then be eaten by fish; and not
by any fish but a certain kind of trout. The
trout must then be caught and eaten by the
victim OF the plot; but the victim must not
cook the fish-he must eat it raw, At this
point the editor to whom such story was
submitted would cease to read and would send
it back to its author as preposterous.
Yet that is precisely what happens when
Chinese contracts clonorchass. The liver para
site, first in the form of its eggs, passes from
dogs or men to other men, through the me-
dunn of two hosts, certain aquatic snail and
trout of certain species, in both of which
intermediate stations it completes stages of its
existence. If the fish were cooked, the worm
would be destroyed.
The Public Health scientists have discovered
that both the Snails and the fish of the requi-
site varieties exist together in this country.
What saves the American people from an cpl
demic of clonorchiasis is the fact that they do
not eat their trout raw.

SCIENCE NEWS
(Rv SCIENCE SerYicel

Existence OF the typhoon which snuffed out
the lives of tens of thousands of Chinese in
and around the port Of Swallow, $50 miles
from Hongkong, was known in this coun-
try long before it struck that unfortunate
city. Officials of the U. S. weather bureau
claim that a similar disaster from some Of
our equally severe Gulf and Caribbean Sea
hurricanes is unthinkable because people
here are better prepared to meet such an
emergency.
Superior forecasting facilities and more
intelligent warning cooperation, it is claim
ed, would enable those living in the low
lands to gain higher ground before the
great wall Of water could engulf them.
Many of the hurricanes which strike our
southern coast are predicted several days in
advance.
Warnings of the recent Chinese storm
were probably forwarded by the Philippine
weather service to Hongkong fully day be-
fore the typhoon reached Swatow, it is be-
ieved.
NEW TYPE AIRCRAFT
While inventors in Washington, Chicago
and Dayton, are working in secrecy to con-
struct a practical Nhelicopter, D. E. CARRIER
airplane expert of the division of mechani-
cal technology of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, is making model Of the first promis-
ing design of this type of vertically rising
aircraft.
This model, soon to be added to the Ma
tional museum, is being built after the de-
sign of Sir John Cayley, the Englishman
who is regarded as the father modern
aeronautical science. Mr.. CARRIER says that
this design made in 1843 was astonishingly
sound in principle, although the body of
the Cayley machine was fancifully fashion
ed after that of bird with birdhead carv-
ed on the prov. Vertical lift was to be OBJ
tanned by two windmill like propellers
which were to act as a sustaining plane
when the machine was driven horizontally
Ply another propeller situated at the rear.
Equilibrium was obtained in much the
same way as the most successful of the re-
cent European helicopters.
Sir John Cayley showed in his writings,
however, that he realized that aerial lavi-
cation depended upon new material and
power such as has been found in aluminium
and gasoline.

Outaoitt;nq Tybhoons

the typhoon which killed fifty thou
sand Chinese and left one hundred
thousand homeless had befallen this
country, it's toll of human life would have
been incomparably less. Loss and suffering
it undoubtedly would have caused; but the
fatalities would hardly have reached into
thousands il indeed into hundreds, and on
all sides the disaster would have been soft
ened. Why?
Thanks to science and the weather bureau,
the approach of dangerous storms is heralded
at least a day ahead Warnings are issued,
not only by flags and ordinary bulletins, but
also by newspapers, by couriers on horse and
awheel, by telephone, and by wireless. Peo-
pie thus are prepared to safeguard their
property against minor floods and winds, or
to flee betimes IL the peril is great. Moreover,
they have enough confidence in the scientist
and his homely oracles to mind his predic-
tions.
But China, for the most part, is sadly
lacking both in such facilities and in the
discernment to use them. 1t is assumed by
weather bureau officials that the terrific
Swallow typhoon was duly forecast by the
American meteorological service in the Phil
ippines and that warnings may well have
been dispatched to China. Violent hurri-
canes are rather frequent in the North Pa
cific at this time of the year. But if. the
premonitions were received they probably
bestirred no great interest amongst the mass
es of the folk concerned. Means for dissent
mating the news were limited and slow; and
if sudden flight from town or countryside
had been agreed upon, there would not have
been, as here, the adequate and varied trans
port needed for swift escape.
The Chinese have taught the western
world invaluable lessons, have given it won
drous inventions and discoveries, and can
point to past that shone splendid while
Europe and America sat in darkness. But
with both the letter and the spirit of mod
ern science the Celestial emperor repuD-
lie, as we now must SAYS still unfamiliar;
wherein lies part Of the explanation of its
economic and social backwardness. Proven
ton of disease, prediction Of natural disas-
tiers, quickened development Of natural re-
sources and of human powers, these are
gifts of science; and when the exceedingly
capable Chinese mind receives them in due
measure, there doubtless will follow vast
transformation Of the country's living con-
ditionS.
