Public Wastes.

Public Wastes.
from the Boston Chronicle.
Waste is bad at any time.
That's a truism. But the truth doesn't
always bring action accordingly.
The cry against waste rises, particular
ly, during war times, or peace times Of
extreme economic stress.
When the war was on we saw signs
around town saying "Save Food" and
Save CoaI' and save this and save that.
Such signs could as appropriately be
hared forth today.
BY reason Of the rail and the coal sit
uation the nation is entering into sea-
son Of shortage. Even if the strikes were
settled today, the momentum of what al
ready has occurred would continue the
effect on into the fall and winter.
Harvest time is at hand, with its custo-
mary peak demand on the railroads.
The coal movement is heaviest from
now on, normally.
But rolling stock is low, thousands Of
cars and hundreds Of engines are out Of
order.

A RESUME OF JULY

mention Of the month has been be-

low workers.
II is the same the world over. In Eu-
pc industrial problems are hampered

Germany is having financial troubles
d the thought Of loan has been aban-
ned since il is not practical for that
uniry to borrow from foreign coun-
es without first settling her repara-

prk is pitifully low and the political
.uaiion in Germany is in confusion.
Austria, too, is more desperate than

What Others Say

are legion. Some Of the commonest are
the abuse of stimulants, such as tea and
tobacco; excessive mental activity, often
resulting in dreams; discomfort and dis
traction due to insufficient bed-clothes,
or an uncomfortable bed with noisy,
creaking springs.
But the most common cause Of all is
inadequate ventilation.
Even more oxygen is required for
sound, healthy sleep than for ordinary
purposes in the daytime

If defective eye did moi TRY TO
OVERCOME THE ERROR to discom-
fort would arise. For instance, it is the
ATTEMPT Of the far-sighted eye to
focus light on the retina that is respon-
sible for the annoyance. If it succeeds
in doing this. a perfect image is pro-
duced. and the person sees normally,
but this done at the expense Of an ex-
cessive consumption of nerve energy.
Many times in 'squint" where the eye
for instance, is hopelessly turned in. no
discomfort arises. But il the squint is
only partial, great annoyance may en-
sue. This is so in all errors Of vision.
The only proof Of far-sight comes as
a result Of a thorough examination by
an Optometrist.

gardens. The Shaw lily gardens at
AnacoStia are unfortunately not at
their best in the autumn. but to flower
lovers have great INTEREST," at all
times. Mrs. Charles Richardson's

tions, as she is an artist and sci
enlist in this line. coming as she does

ing in all the art interests and civic
movements of Washington.
Mrs. Eliphalet Fraser Andrews is a
young mistress of a young garden
which promises in a few seasons to
b" worthy OF attention. Her home in

souvenirs. she may offer her guests
Indian arroYheads and minnie balls
from the civil war. or give them
drink of water from the famous
Fauxcleuse spring in 4 rusty old can

Nothing could be more lovely than
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Parmelee. with Its formal Italian gar

NECRETARY OF LABOR DAVIS

is to be heartily commended
~ for his protective watch over
conditions affecting immigration
from the Orient. He asserts that
the present situation with reference
to Oriental labor under our law
is "simply ,disgraceful.
Mr.. Davis further informs us that
one of his earliest official acts was
to cancel an apparently innocent
arrangement for bringing so-called
industrial students to the United
States. By this plan, 10000 coolie
laborers were to be brought in at
a profit of $3,OOO,OOO to the con-
spirators.
Also it appears that Orientals,
coming as seamen to the United
States, take advantage of the navi-
cation laws al lowing shore leave
for sixty days, and remain perma-
nently. Secretary Davis charges
that in this manner whole crews
have been smuggled into the coun-
try.
By such and similar means
thousands of coolie laborers are
gradually absorbed in American
industry.
These details are here recounted
for two reasons. One, to indicate
to what desperate measures Amer
lean industry will resort when des-
perately in need of unskilled labor.
The other, to show that the ex-
clusion of the best kind of immi-
grafton, under our arbitrary, fool
ish, inhumane 3 per cent quota law,
results in the secret importation of
the worst kind of immigrants
namely, coolie labor from the
Orient.
Therefore, even the purpose of
the present restrictive legislation is
defeated, if, indeed. there is any
decent purpose in the attempt to
exclude a good grade of assimilable
immigration TO this country.

The Fascist

NINCE there is a good deal in
the newspapers about the
- Fascist, it may be as we'll to
note few primary facts.
The word Fascist is plural. The
singular would be FdScistd. The
Fascist are those persons in Italy
who form sort of party or society
for certain economic and govern
mental purposes.
The movement is especially di-
rected against Bolshevism and ex-
treme Socialism, and favors intense
Italian Nationalism.
The idea of the Fascist is called
FascismO, and is derived from the
Latin tdSces, or the Italian. fasciO,
meaning a bundle. In ancient
Roman times the fasces, or bundle
of rods bound around the handle of
an ak, was recognized as the badge
of authority. 1t is a symbol which
stands for the collective power of
the community.
The pronunciation of the word
FaScista is ''Fashista," the SC in
Italian sounding like Sh in English.
FdscistO is incorrect. Fascista
may be used in both genders.

be the political and religious
head Of the Tibetans, has dis

can't understand why these
mountain enthusiasts don't
content themselves with
climbing the mountain in that
fashion"
The English exploring party
which some time ago attempted
the ascent OF this highest
mountain in the world had to
give 1t up. The air was too cold
and too raref1ed.
The Tibetans did not exactly
understand what the English
were up to. and thought that
the explorers must be looking
for jewels and gold. However,
It was explained to them with
much difficulty that a certain
religious sect in England called
the Alpine Club is devoted to
mountain climbing, and Everest
being the highest mountain in
the world. they wished to ex-
plore that.
The Grand Lama, however,
managed the affair much more
agreeably, sitting on his shoul-
der blades and projecting his
astral body.
Tnere Is many another ad-
venturous soul that shrinks
from the physical hardships OF
exploration, but is able to get
the needed thrill from the imag-
ination.
Indeed, It Is a constant, an
indispensable, element in our
human nature-this yearning
for fulfllment and completion,
which makes US supplement
our relatively little lives with
the aspirations and achieve
ments of the great astral ad-
venturers."

ST. Nicholas was the Bishop
of Myra and a saint Of great
virtue and piety. He died in
326 A. d. He was always called
the particular friend of chill
dren and servant maids. This
may explain the custom of CIV
ing gifts to all servants at
Christmas time. so common in
Europe.
The Dutch. who landed on
Manhattan Island, selected
Nicholas as their patron saint.
His figure was placed on the
prov of their boat. The first
church erected was given his
name. He had died on Decem-
ber 6, and everywhere his
name was honored by gifts
and festivity on that day.
Gradually, however. the Dutch
on Manhattan Island carried
the observation of giftmaking,
which was coupled with the
celebration of St. Nicholas's
death. over to December IS.
They then changed the name
from San Claus" the Dutch
spelling of st. Nicholas, until
It became Santa Claus" The
