DISCLAIMING any intention of
- starting a boom" for United
States entry into the permanent court
of International justice, Secretary of
Commerce Hoover has set forth what
may fairly be considered the views of
the administration on that subject. In
an address before the convention Of the
National League of Women Voters In
Des Moines, Mr.. Hoover spoke in earn
est advocacy Of President Harding's
proposal that the United States become
q member of hat court, n answered
the usual objections to the plan.
''The proposals to join the court"
said Mr.. Hoover, have been criticized
from various angles. The first Of these
is that 1t leads us into some unde-
scribed political ENHANCEMENT. This
is untrue, for the DEGREES Of the inter-
national court are based upon h proc
ess of law, not upon political agree
ment their enforcement rests wholly
on public opinion and not upon force.
"In supporting this court we sub
scribe to 40 compulsion whatever.
Compulsion is, in fact, specifically ex-
cluded. We do not need &c submit any
case to the court unless we feel like
doing so at the time the case arises.
No other nation car summon us into
court except with our consent. The
court itself cannot summon us In, nor
in any manner or degree exert upon
us any kind of c~ompulsion, not even
moral.
"All we do If we ratify President
Harding's proposal, all the promises
we make, the only obligations we take,
are these, and only these: We promise
TO pay a share of the running expenses
of the court. n matter less than $4,000
a year, and we promise to take part
with 40 other nations in the choosing
of the judges.
There is another section of oppo-
nents OF President Hardlng's proposal
who condemn the idea. not because
they do not agree to its primary pur-
pose and method, but solely because IL
was erected under the auspices Of the
League of Nations. But W. are not
by this act entering the league In any
sense. The connection of the court
with the league Is indeed remote. Its
sole relationship is that the judges are
elected as provided In its own statute,
not by the league. but by the repre-
sentatives OF the nations to the league
acting as an elective body for this pur-
pose. II Is this elective body that we
Join, not the league"
Secretary Hoover commended the en-
Iightenment and courage Of Senator
Borah In demanding that the court be
given teeth" and that we join 1t In
such n manner that we would be obll-
gated to its Jurisdiction. but he said
that, as a practical matter, America is
not ready to go thus far.
n LMoST Immediately after the re-
a turn Of President Harding from
the South, definite information WINS
given out at the white House con
corning his attitude toward this issue
and several others that, 1t seems GER
tain, will be to the fore during the
coming yenr or two. II was stated
that the President stood pat on his
advocncy of entrance into the world

IRON Vs. WOODEN PLows

In Siam they still use wooden
plows, but the government expert
mental rice farm has been trying
out some iron ones. james p. Da-
Wis, United States consul at Bang
kok, reports that work can be done
more quickly with a wooden pillow.
II was noticed that the iron pillow
is a greater strain on the cattle than
the ordinary wooden pillow, and it
was noticed also that il often slips
aside, but makes better burrows than
the wooden pillow.
On the whole the iron pillow was
found to be an improvement over
the wooden implement, IL only be-
cause il is less liable to break. Some
further adjustments are necessary in
the particular type of pillow used, SO
that the depth OF the furrow can be
regulated. During the trial the pillow
went too deep in wet soil, though
it worked well in soil that was SIM
ply moist.

MusIe-charmed Water.

Interesting experiments showing the
influence Of a tuning fork on Jets Of
water were made some time ago at
the Royal College Of Science.
A Jet Of falling water consists or
dinarily Of two parts--a clear column
and troubled portion. When the trou-
bled part is photographed, with the
aid OF the electric spark, II Is seen to
be composed OF succession Of drops
following one another too rapidly to
be separately seen by the eye. These
drops are irregular In size, shape and
distance from one another. but II VI
brating tuning fork be placed In con-
tact with the stand from which the
Jet starts the drops fall into order
with beautiful precision, a drop being
cast of with each vibration. Many re-
markable effects can, It Is said, be
thus produced. A continuous Jet may
be thrown into a form like that Of q
vibrating string.

Scientific Exactnesa

An instance illustrating the exact
methods now followed In all braaches
OF science Is furnished by the up
setting Of all the results OF the geo
detic survey Of Algeria based upon
the station Of voirol, which had beer
chosen as the point OF origin OF CO
ordInates. II has been found that
owing to some subterranean pecu
liarity affecting the direction OF the
plumb-line, there Is a strong devia
ton from the vertical at voirol, and
as a result new starting point fol
the triangulation must be chosen and
new calculations made. The discov
cry was made by comparing the as
Economical latitude Of the new ob
servatory about three miles from
voirol with It's geodetic latitude al
calculated from the voirol data.

FIRE TWICE SPARED EMBLEM
orssshopper on Roof OF Royal Ex.
change, London, England, Seem
lngly Immune to Flames.

One OF the landmarks Of London
is the huge grssshopper Of copper
which surmounts the Royal ex-
change.
II has survived two fires and is
all that is left Of the original ex-
change, which was swept away by
the great fire Of 1866. II was saved
and placed on top Of the second ex-
change, which in It's turn was de-
stroyed by fire in 1888. The grass
hopper was the only part Of the
building TO escape, and was after
wards placed on the third Royal eS-
change in the position it occupies
today.
A quaint story is attached to this
relic Of the past. The grasshopper
was adopted as a crest by Sir Thom-
as Gresham, the founder OF the eX-
change, in memory Of the creature
that saved his life when he was a
poor and starving boy.
He was lying in helpless condi-
ton by the side Of country road,
and probably would have persisted

attracted to his position by the
croaking Of grasshopper.
