Thinks Herald Reviewer Was
Unfair.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Having read Albert Rhys Will
Jams fascinating book, Through
the Russian Revolution" 1 was
naturally interested in the review
of this work which recently ap-
peared in your paper. Admitting
the brilliant style and warm human
interest of the book, your reviewer
asserts that 1T gives no new and
significant information that will aid
the unprejudiced to make an indie
pendent judgment"
i don't think this statement Is
quite fair. OF course, Mr.. Williams,
like every intelligent observer of
great historical upheaval. has a
definite viewpoint, and his view
point happens to be one with which
many Americans do not agree. But
ultimate historical truth. II there
really Is such a hing, can proceed
only from the clash of honestly-held
opposing opinions. And Mr.. Will
Jams, through his long stay In
Russia during the most critical pc
riod of the revolution and his init
mate contact with the masses OF
the people, is certainly qualified TO
throw light on some of the moro
or less neglected aspects of the
movement.
This is especially true ] think,
In the case Of the peasant reactions
to the revolution. Mr.. Williams
alone, among the American OBJ
servers of the revolution in its early
stages, seems to have understood
the daily life and psychology of the
Russian peasants. His story of the
peasant who put a picture of the
admired Abraham Lincoln on his
wall, and wrote "Bolshevik" be-
meath 1t, is a strikingly vivid illus
tration of the gratitude which the
peasants (more than three-fourths
Of the Russian population. be it re-
membered), feel toward the govern
ment which gave them the land and
freed them from the tyranny OF
Tsar, Church and landlord.

GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT.
TO ALLOT WAVE LENGTHS

To decide how the radio wave
lengths between 1850 and l.50O
meters. allotted for governmental
broadcasting by the radio confer
ence, shall be used by various gov
eminent agencies. a Federal inter
departmental conference will be
here shortly.
Practically all the government
departments arc interested in radio
broadcastinE, particularly the De-
partment Of Agriculture. which has
been distributing market. crop aaI
weather information by radio. the
Department OF Commerce, which
mas the enforcement Of radio leciS-
lation, and the Postofficc Depart
ment. which has developed a sys-
tenn of radio stations in connec-
ton with the postal service. The
Navy and War Departments de-
veloped extensive radio systems for
military use. and while they are
not so vitality concerned in civil!
broadcasting, they will be repre-
scented.

Dr. Bridges, the poet laureate of England,
refused to write poem on the war, which was
probably not of sufficient importance. He
hadn't contributed poem to the gayety of
nations from the war period up to the time of
Princess Mary's wedding. If he was waiting
for chance, here was one. The rhyming
possibilities presented by the average wedding
are without limit. Groom and "gloom," bride"
and cried" given" and heaven honey
moon" and Spoon" "dapper" and "Happer"
oh, there are thousands of them. This, in
deed, was chance for the doc to wake up and
shoot some very high-class poetry out onto the
sound waves for 100000 radiophone fans to
grab and digest. He might have manufactured
nine or ten gallons of good poetry on this one
wedding, which We are told was quite an event
for members of the nobility. In fact somebody
mentioned this opportunity to the laureate but
he sulked in his tent. The divine inspiration
did not strike him. He wrote and will write
nothing about this marriage. Apparently he
doesn't approve of it.
There is only one just punishment for doc,
the poet laureate, for this dereliction of duty.
He ought to be forced to trade places with
some American column conductor for one week
In order to trade back he would be willing to
laureate eighteen hours a day and write up

IF America expects to continue

have to accept other methods of
payment than have been in vogue
in the past. America can no longer

This is the statement of Sir Auck-

United States exports to Britain are
"dwindling because there is no

AWAITS DREDGES.

By dredging the Cariboo district

Although dredging has never
been attempted in this district. Mr..
Johnston believes that his estimate
Of the future gold production is
conservative. Il is probable that
when mining costs have reached a
lower level dredging will be COM
menced in this field
The Cariboo gold rush OF the
early sixties forms one Of the most
interesting chapters in the history
Of pioneer mining in Western Amer
lea and the now famous old Cariboo
road built for several hundred
miles through the mountainous
country between the Cariboo and
the lower reaches OF the Fraser
River still stands as a reminder 80
the adventurous gold seekers NJ
those eventful days. Many millions
Of dollars worth OF gold was packed
out over this road during the early
days. One short stretch on Will
Jams Creek alone yielded between
ss,0Oo.oO0 and IS. 1000, 900 in gold. and
the output OF Antler Creek during
the summer Of 1851 has been esti-
mated at $4,000 per day. some OF
the ground yielding as much as
$1,000 per square foot. Three claims
on Conklin Gulch produced $500
600 in gold.
This famous camp has continued
to produced gold up to the present
time and is the Oldest producing
placer field in British COLUMBIA.
The remarkably long life Of this
camp is accounted for by the pecu-
liar conditions under which tho
gold occurs. The great bulk Of the
gold was concentrated in tho
streams just before the glacial PC
riod. During this period tho coun-
try was covered by a thick sheet
of ice. but. owing to the unusual
fact that the ice-sheet was nearly
stagnant. the placer deposits were
not removed or destroyed as they
otherwise would have been. but
were instead buried beneath a thick
mantle OF glacial clays and graveIs.
which protected them from the later
glaciers flowing through the valleys
during the closing stages Of the
glacial period. This covering Of
clay and gravel not only protected
the gold from later glaciers but
prevented the early miners from OBJ
tanning more than only a portion.
In some places less than half, the

WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS
OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Tire Injury Caused by Wheels
Out of True.
First Symptom Of Something Wrong
10 Rapid Wear In Center Of
Tread-Tubes Should Re-
celve Careful Tests.

The time is at hand when a owners
| give their cars a thorough overhaul
ing in preparation for summer use.
The attention required for tires In
| this spring renovation Is very limited
and simple.
One Of the first and most important
is to get the front wheels into proper
alignment. Bad alignment Is n Of the
| principal causes Of tire injury. The
first symptom of misalignment Is rapid
wear in the center Of the tread. Elk
animation Of the alignment should in
clude an investigation to see that there
are no loose bearings, for a loose bear
ing means a wobbly wheel.
Examine the castings Of tires for
cuts. If cuts are filed with heal-a-
cut dough the cuts will not grow big
ger.
Tubes should receive special atten-
ton, for once they have been placed in
side the castings they are forgotten.
Test the tubes for slow leaks. Put
new plungers in the valves, ever IL the
old ones appear satisfactory. The rub
Der washers in the plunger become stiff
and hard after a time and it Is good
policy to change them at least once
q year.
The pump should be tested, especial
ly the rubber tubing and the connec-
tons. If the leather piston head in
your hand pump has dried up it may
be softened by a liberal application Of
vaseline. If it is gone beyond help you
can get a new leather at a supply
store. The same advice as to inspec-
ton Of connections applies in the case
Of a mechanical pump attached to the
engine. See that the pump Is well
oiled, especially in the cylinder, but
avoid excess oil, as it may find it's way
into the inner tube.
