TOO MUCH BASE METAL

"The great fallacy of the melting pot" says Pres
iden Cutten of Colgate University, "s that thought
with the proper environment they would become in
tellectua cultured and moral according to STAN
dard."
The melting pot, he thinks, has melted in too much
base alloy with the good material and racial deterior
alton has been helped along by race suicide among
the best stock. Thus the becomes stupid
instead of more intelligent.
This is contrary to the view still held by most
people, and doesn't sound very Democratic but there
may be more truth in it than one likes to admit.
Recent researches in ethnology and genealogy
have revealed some surprising things about peoples
capacity for mental and moral development. 1t ap-
pears that there whole races and large numbers
Of people in the most intelligent who seem in
capable of progress beyond certain moderate level.
America must do its best for such people, but it
should not expect too much of them. Progress de-
pends mainly the development Of the brightest and
best stock to its full capacity, and the increase of
such stock.
Fortunately the present immigration restriction
is saving the country from dumping of the usual guam
ty of base metal into the melting pot The situation
will be still better when congress gets around pro-
vidng machinery for intelligent selection of those
who admitted.

JUDGE CONKLINC
TAKES ISSUE ON
LEES STATEMENT
Says Our Grapefruit
Superior to That of
Florida

Judge M. w. Cciikiing mas come

ley grapefruit and takes issue with
the statements of l.. c. Lee, super.
intendent of the American Fruit
Growers, printed in last night s
Press, to the effect that our grape.
fruit is inferior to that produced
in Fresno and Florida.
"TnaU me Imperial Valley grape
fruit is superior to the Florida pro
duet, has been proven by Florida
experts .themselves,' says Judge
Conkling, who has had practical
experience raising grapefruit, and
knows whereof he speaks. ~ have
seen Florida grapefruit men blind.
folded, and asked to decide ON the
merits of the Imperial Valley grape
fruit as compared with their own,
and they could not tell the differ
cnce. Had they not been blind
folded, they could easily tell the
difference, as the Florida product is
covered with red scale.
Our Grapefruit Higher
"Our grapefruit sells at So q
box higher than the coast grape
fruit, which is sufficient explana.
tion of the superiority of local
grapefruit over that raised in Fres.
no and vicinity. AS for sugar con-
tent, our grapefruit is easily the
equal of those raised in either OF
the places mentioned and the fact
that it is in big demand on the mar
ket is proof of that statement.
"For the past several months
with absolutely no grapefruit go

HOW FRANCE VIEWS TT

France went into the Ruhr to compel stubborn
debtor to meet his pledges but to date neither France
Germany has gained much by demand or resist
ance, unless it be in matters of the SOUL Great Britain
appears to be the party of the third part who really
profits.
The long ton coal production of the United King
dom has reached the record total of 5,02500C tons
week and as direct result, every British industry
has felt the stimulus. The German demand for fuel
has kept both mines and steamers busy in Wales in
Newcastle and great is the traffic in fuel thatthree
shift loadings the rule in many ports
Naturally those who desire to France and
Great Britain less friendly have sriven to make cap
ital of the situation but the French wise enough to
discount their arguments. They know that England is
profitng by the trade; but they know, too that New
castle coal comes higher than that of the Ruhr and
that because of it the slackening of German industrial
activity is inevitable, if slow.
The Imperial Republic, as it calls itself, has been
living on its capital for half dozen years. and its
manufacturing costs, however lowered by the deprec
ated currency, mounting steadily. If France stays
in the Ruhr long enough-and it is obvious that she
to do soshe will get her money or bring the
business collapse which Ge1many's financial chicanery
has postponed so long.
Truly, the French are a'sentimenta people. They
like the prospect Of truly poetic revenge whatever it
costs.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S PANCAKES

"Uncle Wiggily, do you think
you could manage to get your own
lunch if 1 were to go out this morn
ing and not come back until after
noon?' asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy of the bunny rabbit gentle
man one day.
Why, yes, 1 think so, answered
Mr.. Longears, who was getting
ready to go adventuring. But
where are you off to, Nurse Jane ?"
Mrs. Wibblcwobble, the lady
duck, and l are going shopping" ="
replied Miss Fuzzy Wuzzv, land il
will take most of the day.
"'That will be all right" Uncle
Wiggily said, good naturally. Stay
as long as you like. l shall probably
not come home to lunch, any how
But, if l do, l daresay l shall man
age to find something in the pantry
or the ice box
~ could leave you some pancake
batter, ready mixed, and you might
make yourself some pancakes, -
suggested Nurse Jane.

sauce on them. That's what III
do. I'll 90 adventuring. You leave
the pancake batter where | can find
it and when l come home I'll get
my own lunch. -
So it was done and soon Uncle
Wiggily found himself hopping over
the fields and through the woods,
looking for something to happen.
But, though the sun shone and the
wind rustled through the leaves of
the trees there was no adventure in
sight, and the bunny gentleman be-
gan to feel rather sad.
All of a sudden, however, he
heard noise in the bushes. The
branches swayed up and down and
Uncle Wiggily gave his pink nose a
shivery twinkle or two as he whis-
pered:
Here comes the Fuzzy Fox or

GERMAN CONCESSIONS IN RUSSIA

German may be in a bad way financially and spr-
itually but all Germans do not despair. Those who
operate the Orient Bank are optimistic newly
formed syndicate has just obtained the Soviets per-
mission to develop steamer traffic between the Baltic
and the Caspian.
Russia's lack of good roads induced the develop
ment of river navigation centuries ago. and despite the
Romanoff empires effort to link itself together by
means Of railways, the great bulk of its internal trade
always followed the waterways Now railroad build
ing is out Of the question: but by of canal barges
and river steamers under efficient German manage
ment the government is hoping to revive business.
The route from the Baltic to the Caspian is an
easy by water for Northern Russia is water-ogged
and the Voga has always served as highway for two
thirds of the way Moreover it offers reasonably di-
rect way to Persia and all interior Asia and Germany
looking that way for decades before the war.
The Orient Bank concession should prove of great
value. Let US hope that Of the profits of the
venture go to meet Gern.anys debts.
