THE NATIONS HEALTH

Alive to the danger its people face through
poorly heated apartments, the courts OF Ne"
York recently took the matter draSticaliy IN
hand with the result that one OF many land
lords who place monthly revenue above the
health of their tenants has been lodged III jail.
That the sentence imposed will convince others
Of the sincerity Of the law, there is little room
for doubt
It is of the nature OF a God-send that TINS
winter is proving itself, in most sections, less
severe than many OF the past. Coming on
the heels of one OF the most disastrous coal
strikes in the history of the country the natlor
was poorly equipped to face prolonged PERIOD
of extreme weather That it has succeeded
in struggling through thus far without excess
nriyation is not the fault OF the persons re-
sponsible for the strike OF last summer,
The efficiency OF the law in New York which
STIMULATES the temperature at which tenanted
rooms must be kept, is clearly shown. Why
can country rich in brains not devise another
law equally as eiicacious as some municipal
enactnents, declaring that once and Tor all
walkouts affecting the public welfare must
cease.

LET'S SPREAD. OURSELVES

s. The movement that means much 10 the Wei
fare .of Alexandria Just now is the parade to
be Held here February p Washinssons
birthday is TO be celebrated in a style which is
to approach but not eorue up to the grand old
celebrations of years ago. In looking over the
old files of The Gazette we find that people
from everywhere were IN Alexandria to witness
the celebration. the fame Of which had passed
TO every corner OF the eartl-alinost. III one
parade there were is bands, thousands OF SOL
diers of every branch of the service. The
Steamer ST. Jofn'S was chartered to handle
the crowds between here and Washington and
to bring the soldiers up from the forts along
the Potomac. King street was decorated from
one end to the other and "a most enjoyable
time was had BY all" OF course that was all
in the davs when Volstead was still fooling
around in the big woods of Minnesota-and
that made difference.
But the question now before the city is that
of making this celebration as near the real
thing as possible. Very little enthusiasm is
being shown in preparing for this "blow-
out.
What Alexandria really needs is to get the
spirit and work for the thing. Everyone
knows that what Alexandria wants, and wants
badv she gets. We WANT the parade.

TO AVERT DISASTER

President Harding, in his action yesterday
recalling the American contingent, which has
been stationed on the banks of the Rhine since
the World War, gave France to understand
that the United States was heartily against It's
method OF collecting the reparatioli debt, The
troops were removed after repeated protesta-
tons of France. which significantly proves
that the United States and France are not III
accord and that the traditional peaceful rela-
tons between these two countries are at Inc
lowest ebb since first it was established during
the Revolutionary War when the timely aid
Of France was possibly the turning point iii

LILY BLACKS FOR HENRY
FORD

Listed among the political en-
titles petitioning Henry Ford to
become candidate for President
in 1924 is the Lilly Black organ
ization in Virginia" One wonders
if the writer of the Ford presiden-
tial boom article in the New York
Times Of Sunday stopped to con-
slider what party with such a
name might be. In this State it is
known Of all that the birth of the
organization took place in 1921
when the Republican State Con-
vention refused to admit eolored
delegates to It's councils, and most
of the county and city mass-meet-
ings closed their doors to the dark
skinned members of that party.
Thereupon the Republican majority
became known as the Lilly Whit
es."
John Mitchell, Jr., of this city,
was named as candidate for Gov
eh'nor by The black convention
that followed, and a full State
ticket placed in the field with him.
Large numbers of the race fol-
lowed the lead in protest against
their exclusion from Republican
councils, and in the November ell
ection those precincts in centers
of population containing prepon-
derance of colored voters went for
Mitchell. Much the same course
was followed in 1922, in those con-
pressional districts where negro
candidates were placed in the
field.
Many thousand Of Southern ne
proes have been taken to Detroit
in the past few years to work IN
the automobile factories and per-
hans that accounts for the "Lily
Black" early expression Of opinion
as to the presidency. For it is note
worthy that the Virginia negroes
have enacted before Ford has made
IN his own mind as to which po-
litical party will have his adher-
ence.-Richmond Times Dispatch

CHANGING THE CALANDAR

SAYS STATE AID NEEDED
 IN OVERCOMING DISEASE
Should Institute Measures to Protect Public From Communicable Dis.
 cases, Says Dr. Williams.

Santa Barbara. Cal. June 2a.--"I,
 is a primary duty Of the state to
 protect the public from inroads o. communicable disease. and 10 insti. tute measures for the prevention O. non n-communicable diseases" said Dr, Linsley R. Williams. managing direc- tor of the National Tuberculosis as- sociation, addressing that body here.
 That the state appreciates this duty is evidenced by the creation or state and local boards of health and the support given to health activities by budgets voted for the maintenance of these boards. But boards of health are able to so only as far in control ling disease as public opinion will sup port them. An effective campaign against disease cannot be carried on by money alone: it must have the support of public opinion. This opin- ion is best secured through the mem- bership and support of voluntary health and tuberculosis associations, which furnish the necessary leader ship through which the people can express their opinion. To spread health education is one of the chief functions of voluntary health organi- cations. Therefore, they should gain the support of public opinion ana other official health agencies so that the latter may be adequately financed and operated for the good of the com munity.

 It is pointed out that as amplified by the official Catholic newspaper the letter means that any concessions by the allies must be dependent upon an exhibition of willingness to pay by Germany, and that the suggestion for an international conference on the subject is applicable only when Ger many has shown real disposition to execute the treaty of Versailles.
