MNIE,. KALININ BARRED.

The United States State Depart
 ment seems to be swinging into line
 in the general worry over the well
 fare of the American people. And
 the prevailing opinion of the press appears to be that the State Depart
 ment through Secretary of State Hughes, did quite right in seeing to it that this country was not contami- mated by admitting Mime. Kalinin, the wife of the president of the so- called Soviet "Republic."
 It is quite possible to disapprove of the Soviet government as thor oughly as the next, and still oues- ton the wisdom of the decision. It great crime was committed officially when the Soviet executed Mgr. Butch have the published report of a rep resentative of a newspaper of this country tIldl noWueTc Slse III lHe world could man have been con- victed on the evidence that was held sufficient to condemn Mgr. Butchka- witch. Granted that it was a deplor- able crime; granted that there might be propriety in official protest from this country against it. Grant all this, and yet it would not seem to be wise, dignif1ed or even just to make that protest by barring from this country the wife of a figurehead in the Soviet government who comes here. ostensibly at least, to plead for the children of a people with whom, as a people as distinguished from supporters of the Soviet government. the people of this country have sin cere sympathy.
 One has little patience with the theory that the individuals of Amer ica must be guarded and sheltered and regulated lest they do something to iniure themselves or lest they are permitted to hear the talk of some l person whose ideas may taint their impressionable minds. The people | can take care of themselves. If this government considers it should regis | ter its protest against the execution- and well it might-the decent, manly 1 thing to do would be to register that | protest directly to the Soviet govern ment, and not seek to do it in a way by attacking a wom- an, the wife of peasant president who may know little about the poli- tics of her country and care less in what she may consider, as woman, the more important matter--the well fare of the suffering children.

THE PARTY YOKE.

Governors may come and governors
 may go. but the machine goes on for. ever.
 Governor Tcmpeton vetoed the so- called "E. Kent Hubbard" bill or what seemed 10 the ignorant bystand- CT to be pretty good reasons, in that 1t was aimed at a particular indi- vidual and protected everybody else, Now the house of representatives at Hartford has passed the bill again over the Governors veto by a vote of 169 to 4s, 155 of the 169 being republicans.
 Now it Is all right, of course, for "a good party man to support a gov- sernor of the same party as long as he uses discretion about it. But he should not carry the thing too far. Governors. you see. change from time to time. You can not be sure that a certain man, even though made a governor. will always be the sort of party man the machine of the party likes. He may be quite Irregular" at the moment, of course, and therefore all right. But you cant tell whether or not he is going to be regular always. The machine now t--that is something else again. You can count on the machine always, no matter who is governor. The throbs sof the thing that is in the place where the heart would be if the ma chine had heart are just as regu- lar as the throbs of the engine of your car ought to be but aren't So, don't tie up to any governor, say the regulars, when a question arises be- tween support of him or support of the machine which, If it wasn't regu- lar, wouldn't be a machine at all. Governors may come and governors may go but the machine goes on for ever, more's the pity

BOOZELESS SHIPS THRIVE
American Vessels Unable to Handle All Demands for Passage, Despite Dry Law.

London, April 13.-Those whc thought prohibition was going to kill passenger travel on American ships have found out they were mistaken. In spite of prohibition and the fact that mid winter is usually the dullest season for transatlantic travel, four of the American passenger liners which left England for America during the last six weeks had a full complement of passengers booked several days before sailing time. In each instance applicants for berths were turned away.
 The President Roosevelt was the first of the vessels flying the Amer ican flag to experience the unusual rush of passengers in mid-winter. Thirty-fves applicants for passage were turned away, and temporary dormitory had to be built to make room for extra third-class travellers. The America loft Southampton few days later with more than 1,S00 pas- sengers. every berth being filled. Ac- commodations on the George Wash ington were entirely sold out two weeks before she sailed. The Presi- dent Harding was the fourth of the "full-up" liners.

WASTE OF NATURAL
 GAS TO BE CHECKED
J. s. Bureau of Mines Says Sup.
 ply Is DWindling Rapidly

1 Monroe, La, April ia,--The United
 States Bureau of Mines. having de-
 clared that the natural gas in thi:
 country is not inexhaustible, and thai
 the supply ia dwindling rapidly, per.
 sons interested in conservation oi
 Louisianas natural resources are
 launching Q campaign with the object
 Of either putting an end to the exist
 cnce of carbon black plants in this
 state, or at least curbing their opera tions.
 The north Louisiana gas field is the
 largest producing field in the world. and the wells in the Ouachita- -More- house district now are giving up the enormous total of 1880, 100000 cubic feet of gas daily for the manufacture of carbon black. Ninety per cent of this gas is wasted 1t is claimed. and the conservationists have determined to do something to put stop to it., if for no other reason than that in- dustries in search of cheap fuel hesi- tate to locate in or near the field for fear the gas will be exhausted in the near future.
 Tho Texas legislature recently re- fused to enact law which would have permitted the establishment of carbon black plants in the gas fields now being developed in that state, and it is expected the Louisiana legisla- ture at it's next session will be called upon to take steps to remedy the sit- uation here.
 Carbon black is used for many pur- poses, the best known of which is in the manufacture of printers ink. It is nothing more than what is com monly known as soot, and it's produc- tion is 8 simple process. The natural gas flame is permitted to burn against metal plate across which mechani- cal scraper moves. The carbon, or soot is scraped off, fails into con- veyor and is carried to the packing room.
 Profits from the business are enor- nous, and any attempt to break 1t up is certain to meet with stiff opposition, as was the case when the question was considered at the state constitu-
 
 The cost of drilling and piping a gas well which will produce from 10,- O00, 900 to 20,00o,0oo feet of gas daily is placed at s20.000 Construction of Il carbon plant capable of producing { 3 500 pounds of carbon daily requires s100000. The cost of gasoline ab- plant which will produce from the gas, as a by-product, from 1,5o0 to 2,000 gallons of gasoline daily is s50,000. The total invest nent represents s170,ooo.
 The 3,600 pounds of carbon at 15 cents pound will bring $540 and l. 300 gallons of gasoline at 15 cents a gallon s225, gross daily operating in. come of s765. Operating expenses md supplies approximate s225 daily, eaving a net profit Of s540. The net profit in one year is slightly less than ,200,0 on an investment of S170,- )o0 The plants are virtually auto- natic in operation, and Governor Parker has declared he knows of one 10,o00,000 feet of gas daily with force of only II men. The ,lans operate night and day, seven lays a week
 Louisiana in 1921 produced 31,034,- % pounds of carbon black, or 53 per ent of the country's total output, and o dof so burned 32,101, ,SO0,00o cubic eet of gas ,

BERLIN DOGS THRIVE DESPITE HARD TIMES
High Taxes and Popularity of Sau. sages Fail to Prevent Increasing
 Birth Rate in Canine Family.

Berlin, April 13.-Dogs increase in Berlin at an amazing rate in spite of higher taxes and the comic paper jokes about sausages.
 Virtually every American officer, soldier, nurse, and war-worker took a German police dog home. Every steamer which sails from Hamburg and Bremen for the United States car ries many of these dogs with the wolf strain which Americans admire so much.
 But the German dog crop never fails in spite of the food shortage and the hard living conditions. Dachs- hunds, deerhounds, airedales, bull dogs, pekinese and all sorts of lap dogs abound, as well as the police dogs.
 Hotels and apartment houses in Germany have no ban against dogs. They are even permitted in moving picture theaters An American man. ager who recently took charge of one of the largest hotels in Berlin almost created panic when he tried to es- tablish rule against dogs being kept in hotel rooms. A soviet of angry men visited the manager and threat ened to empty the hotel if their pets were relegated to the basement, as is done in America.
 The manager had to recall his order. But he issued another forbid ding guests to keep dogs in the public rooms of the hotel, where they might annoy other persons. German police 1 dogs are trained to spurn the atten- tion of anyone except their master: | consequently they snap at strangers who try to caress them.
 Berlin has increased the annual | tax on dogs from 1,5oo to 12,000 marks in an effort to abate the nui- sance. There are 170,745 dogs in the | city which pay taxes, and the dog homes are overf1owing with untagged | animals.

Why DOES GEORGIA need
z A LARGER SANATORIUM?
LACK OF ROOM CAUSE OF DELAY
IN ADMITTING OF
PATIENTS
State OF Georgia Loses 100000 "A
Result OF Death From
tuberculosis

Because the present sanatorium has
only 100 beds.
There is at present a waiting list Oh
GO patients begging that they be admit
ted to treatment. There are seldom
less than 35 on this list.
During tile past is months We have
averaged admission of IS patients per
month. If we continue to be able 70
do this, it will take over months to
reach and admit to treatment the 6Oth
patient. These months of suffering to
the patient and heartaches for the ram
lily. not to mention the time lost IN
curing the patient, and the advance OF
the disease, many cases lose all chances
of cure in three months. The average
time between receipt of application AND
admission of the patient during the past
year was weeks.
Approximately 5000 patients die OF
tuberculosis In Georgia annually. For
every death, it is estimated that there
are 10 other persons i'll with Tubercu-
losis.
Sociologists value human life at 49,
600. If this figure is correct, Georgia
has a loss Of 100000 year by reason
of deaths by tuberculosis alone! me
loss from sickness from tuberculosis
amounts to such figure as to almost
stagger comprehension.
Georgia is furnishing not single bed
for the care Of Tubercular Negroes, and
yet 1870 of our population are Ne
groes, and tuberculosis is two or three
times more frequent among the Ne
groes, who are brought in close contact
with the White race as cooks, and SER
wants, and what is more serious, as
nurse girls for our children, and thus
spreading the disease to the White race.
The larger Sanatorium would make II
possible to take care of 100 Negroes and
300 White. 100000 would build
modern Sanatorium to accomplish this.
The number of patients rejected in
1921 was Sc, some because they were
too far advanced to be benefited by
the Sanatorium as equipped at pres
ent; some were discouraged by the
length of the wait and went elsewhere
for treatment; some died while wait
ing to be admitted. A larger, more
modern Sanatorium would reduce the
number of rejected patients and deaths
There are no accommodations for
the care of children, they cannot be
properly treated under the present
conditions. The new Sanatorium would
be built with this problem in mind, for
it is in children that the disease Is
found in it's earliest stages, and most
can be done for tuberculosis, both az

THE COUNTRY HOME

Country people often express DIS
satisfaction with the homes that
they occupy, and wish that they
could enjoy all the moiem conyle''-
ces found in city dwellings, They
look with envy on city relatives who
have the advantages Of modern
methods Of cooking, plumbing. heat
ing, etc. However, many OF these
modern conviences are nov being
enjoyed in country homes, which
are getting the new domestic equip
ment pretty fast.
Also there are inconyiences lnclly
that go far to meke up for these adj
vantages. City dwellings are be-
coming very cramped. People are
herded into little apartments where
the furniture is all iumbled into a
mess, with rooms SO low and small
that the air must be bad much OF
the time, where there is no room to
entertain friends.
People also are often crowded in
with undesirable neighbors, whose
