The Presidents Great Chance

President Harding. says a Washington dispatch, de-
sreS TO call second conference. II would deal
with aircraft limitation the message said and added
that the president has not abandoned his Association of
Nations idea.
This is encouraging Il begins TO look If President
Harding intends to tell the little band of mossgrown
isoatonsts in the United States senate just where II can
get off
The Star would like to make suggestion, and that
is tie president invite the international conference for
the advancement of world rehabilitation and peace and
ncllde arms limitation incidentally in the program.

Speaking A bout Miracles

You may not believe this, but it's true. speaker in
New York is heard by radio fan in Seattle before he
heard by the people in his own audience at the back
of the hall in New York.
This is because the audience hears by sound waves
which travel only 1126 feet second while the radio
fan has the sound brought him by vibrations travelling
10000 miles second.
The difference in hearing time in this case is only
fraction Of second, but it's as uncanny it's hard to
loelieve.

THE "FLU" AGAIN EPIDEMIC.

According to the figures compiled
by DR.. r. H. Riley, head of the Bu-
reau of Communicable Diseases,
Maryland State Board of Health the
present influenza epidemic is the
largest since 1920 in the counties of
the state, "Flu" cases for January
1923 totaled 1850. which is more
than the total number of cases in
1921 and nearly as many as for the
whole of last year. The figures
also show large increases for pneu-
monia, diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles, whooping cough and
chicken pox.
There have been numerous cases
of the grip, generally in mild form,
in this locality, and our physicians
have been kept busy night and day
for weeks past. There have also
been several cases of pneumonia in
the neighborhood.
