CHINA REALIZES
IMITATION
NEEDS
Report Of National Plumbing
and Heating Bureau Shows
Orient Is Awakening.

China is awakening from her
sleep down through the centuries.
says q broadside from the National
Plumbing and Heating Propaganda
Bureau. The Occident is making an
impression on the Orient.
"The F1owery Kingdom" has al
ways been land Of plaques as well
as Of mystery. Smallpox, dysentery,
yellow fever and leprosy all have
claimed, and. still claim. thousands
of human lives.
One does not have to search long
to discover the cause Of such state
Of affairs. Lack Of sanitation
Therein lies the answer. Dirty
towns, filthy streets people who
know nothing OF bathing their bodies
ARE q few Of the things that exist
when sanitation receives no con-
sideration.
Conditions. today are but little
improved IN most OF China. Be.
cause of filth, seventy-five out Of
every hundred children born die In
infancy, according to reliable re
search.
However, the last few years have
seen some changes for the better.
Refuse and offaI is no longer per.
mitted to accumulate on the streets
OF the large cities. Some attention
IA coming to be paid to proper dis,
poeal OF household waste matter.
Truly, the health protecting serv.
ice Of the modern plumbing dealer
and heating contractor is deserving
OF praise. Here In the United States
everyone can battle daily and food
can be washed in clean water; and
offaI and waste waters are safely
disposed of. We can keep our food
and our bodies clean and control the
spread OF disease.
Confucius gave the people Of
China q precept which, had they fol
lowed it, would have kept them out
Of the nnire Of dirt and disease. He
said mans greatest pride should be
in having clean body; because q
clean body Il necessary for q clean
mind"

REAL ESTATE IN.

Mrs. Ruby Lee Minar gives
ReasonsReports Many
Recent Sales.

In many cities the most active
period OF real estate is in the spring.
Washington, with its summer
exodus of population, differs In that
more home.buying is done in the fall

Speaking of this characteristic,
Mrs. Ruby Lee Minar, Washington

spring time provides the best period
for selling, particularly in the
suburbs.
not think this 10 true. Even IN
suburban real estate, 1t. has been my
experience that September, October
and November are the months OF the

"This presumably Is due to the
fact that so many people In Wash.

the case. And it ID the case again

Would-be landscape garden

United States Government for

time and method for trans
planting pine, fir, cedar and
other evergreen trees indi-
genous to North America.
The proper time is Septem-

the trees, while others claim
that this is not necessary; how
ever, it is. important that the.
roots be carefully handled.
When the roots are dug up
they should be allowed to re-

Mr.. Dawes, early in politics,
in banking, in the army, and in
national budget-making. was
noted for his extreme distaste for
bunk and his horror 81 plati
tudes. Now he appears i9efor,
the public in the roie o. organ
izer OF the Minute Men OF the
Constitution.
This organization is TO be con-
secrated TO the duty OF obtaining
delegates TO the national conven-
items 81 next year who will vote
fer incorporation in the plat
forms OF planks pledging the par
ties TO certain fundamental prin-
ciplcs. The principles include
Encouragement OF respect for
Law and the constitution of the
United States: condemnation OF
all influences and agencies tend
ing TO breed class or religious
hatred; assertion of the right OF
individuals TO associate within
the lax for the defense OF rights
and the promotion Of economic,
social and political interests
maintenance of the rights of citi-
zens TO freedom from unlawful
interference; declaration that low
atty to the government of the
United States must be above and
beyond that to any civil or in
dustrial organization working for
the interests Of special groups OF
classes.
There isn't anything in Mr..
Dawes list of principles which
will be disputed. They sound
as fine and platitudinous as did
the old-time spread-eagle ora
tors fearful praise OF the grand
old flag. The trouble seems to
lie in getting men and govern
ments to express these fine prin-
ciples concretely. If Mr.. Dawes
and his Minute Men have discov-
cred method whereby fine
phrases in political reforms can
step out into action. they will do
a great work.

APPROPRIATE

The Congressional Library
lacks funds to catalogue ragtime.
or "low-grade" music as it is Of
hcially defined. "Ragtime is kept
in the basement" SAYS a. Wash
ington dispatch. which is a seem
ingly appropriate depository for
this stuff. II a suh-basement
could be found. its interment
would cause no avalanche of
tears.
But since the Library is COM
PEELED to copyright all that is Of
tered, the emotional grist from
the dance-rnill hoppers" will
probably be ground out in large
quantity. Ragtime is not very
sensitive as to where it reposes
in the Congressional Library so
long as its wierd tones are &C
cepted by the dancers.

MUST HAVE PATIEyCE

While some persist in COM
plants over the costs OF sugar,
building materials, coal and Ger
tain other everyday commodi-
ties, it is a pleasant and honest
duty to chronicle official action
which may lead to price changes
in articles more or less required
in somebody's life.
In cheerful compliance with
the mandate of the fiexibility
clause of the Fordney- Nc umber
tariff, the United States tariff
commission is proceeding in or
derby fashion to examine the
costs of production here and
abroad. Public notice has been
issued of the commissions deter
mination to help the president by
investigating all facts in connec-
tion with the tariff on the follow
ing articles: Synthetic phenolic
resin, smokers articles made
from synthetic phenolic resin.
linseed oil, cresylic acid and
briar-wood pipes.
1t is to be expected that the
smokers who favor an old-fash-
Toned clay pipe will feel discrim7
mated against in favor of the
plutocrats who affect the briar
pipe. But common decency on
the part of the saner portion of
the public win insist upon pa
.tience& iThs,. tariff conImissidn
has a great task before it. II
must give the 3O-day notice Of
all hearings and then proceed
with calmness and deliberation.
With many thousands of ar
ticles listed in the tariff sched-
ules, it is possible that all inter
ested parties will not be reached
the first day or the first century.
But all will be taken care of in
time. The commission, upon de-
mand, must consider the neces-
sity of revising tariffs on all ar
ticles from asbestos to zaffer. 1t
has the sworn duty of being just
as fair to ferro-silicon as it is to
turtles. Chestnuts are the peers
of life-boats in the tariff. and the
commission has no more RIGHT to
ignore crochet needles than hand
cuffs. Ii the commission learns
that the infant dynamite indus
try no longer needs protection, it
must so find in voluminous re-
port. Should cheap foreign skele-
tons endanger the American
skeleton producers business, it is
clear the commission should
have skeletons taken off the free
list, where congress in its wis
dom placed them.
The tariff commission is going
on with its work. Sugar users
and others must merely await
their turns.
