Many Features
Make Pine Hills
Resort Popular

Pine Hills Lodge, which was re
Gently acquired by Fred A. Suther-
land, is one of San Diego county S
prettiest mountain resorts. 1t Is
located 6S miles east of San Diego
in the Cuyamaca mountains, with
an elevation of over 1000 feet. The
formal opening under the new own
erships occurred on June Z and
marked number of impros emepts
in the place and a decided changee
in policy of management.
A feature of Pine Hills Lodge
that will appeal to Imperial Valley
people is the one price policy. This
means that no matter when one vi
sits the place the same price OBJ
tains. The same rate is asked for
Sunday as for week days. An
other feature is the providing of
special music and elaborate dinners
for Saturdays and Sundays. Still
another feature is the furnishing OF
free moving pictures each night;
also radio concerts from Honolulu
and Cuba, the elevation making this
possible.
The Sutherland stages are now
running special sight seeing trip
from San Diego to the lodge. 1t
is called the "Pine Hills Loop !"
and includes reservation for both
the lodge and the sightseeing trip.

Bit of Comfort Found
In Higher Living Cost

One of the most pathetic things in
Germany is the aged couple who saved
for years to provide for their old age
and now find their life savings wiped
out by the collapse of the marks
value. But to how many has it oc-
CURED that the same thing on a
smaller scale has happened right here
in America? Old people who thought
they had saved enough to care for
them in their old age now find that
so cents would have bought In 1914.
In effect, 40 cents of the original dol
lar has disappeared as a result of
the rise in cost of living. That's un-
fortunate. but war is war, and there's
no escape from paying the piper once
we dance to Mars music.
However, every cloud has a silver
lining. For instance, so cents saved
now will be worth about one dollar
later, not counting any increase by
interest, provided the buying power
of the dollar eventually returns to
normal. A score of years may pass
before cost OF living gets back to its
old time level, supposing that it ever
will. That's just when old age will
be creeping up to many of us. Even if
war value in purchasing power, the
dollar saved now will be worth much
more later. So. if you would provide
nest egg for old age, save now.
Money at per cent doubles in less
than eighteen years. That's one way
to offset depreciation of buying

The Consulate at Newcastle.

Simultaneous announcement in Lon
; don and Washington Of settlement of
the long-standing controversy over
the American consulate at Newcastle.
on-Tyne is a matter for mutual con-
graduation. What might easily have
become an ugly dispute, engendering
bad feeling on both sides, is adjusted
without loss of dignity to either gov
ernment. The combination of firm
ness and patience displayed by Secre-
tary Hughes will add immensely to
the prestige of the American govern
ment, and the British government will
lose nothing i'll prestige through ac-
acknowledgement, even though it came
tardily. that it had been in error.
The Newcastle incident is of more
than passing consequence because it
grew out of the bitter resentment Of
British shipping interests against the
American merchant marine. Messrs
Slater and Brooks were, respectively,
American consul and vice consul at
Newcastle. The charge was made
that they had abused their consular
authority in attempting to divert
passenger traffic to the American
lines. The British government took
cognizance of the charge and can
ccled the eXequatur of Mr.. Slater
and withdrew recognition of Mr.
Brooks. The American State Depart
ment promptly instituted and con-
Cluded three separate Investigations
and determined to its satisfaction that
the charges were entirely without
foundation. The British foreign office
refused TO accept the American find
ings, whereupon Secretary Hughes
gave notice that the consulate at New
castle would remain closed until there
was reversal Of the British position.
This reversal Of position now has
occurred and Premier Macdonald has
notified Ambassador kellogg that
after further consideration his mai
esty's government are prepared not
To insist upon the charge Of exceeding
their consular authority and
1t has therefore been recalled This
was immediately followed by an
nouncement Of the appointment of
another American consul at Newcastle
and of the assignment of Messrs.
Slater and Brooks to other consular
posts in Great Britain.
The moral of the story is that all
the world now knows that the United
States government intends to stand
squarely back Of the American con-
sular service and the American mer-
chant marine, and that our consular
officers wiz continue to further Amer
lean shiSgng interests in all proper
ways. rnat is what consular officers
are f..

Typhoid From River Water.

There Is one companion OF the old
time Potomac freshet which fortu-
nately does not come to us now. 1t is
tomac valley where wells and springs
have been filled by river water there
may be more than the usual number
Of cases of typhoid fever, but certainly
the people. Before the building of
the filtration plant we drank plain
river water untreated except by some
rest or settling" which 1t had in the
dy our water was muddy.
There was pollution of the Potomac
by the sewage of cities and villages
and by seepage and drainage from
thousands of farms. When the typhoid
rate was high in the country through
which the river flows it was high in
Washington. There was usually Il
rise in the number Of cases following
lowed a flood. The danger of raw
Potomac water was so much talked
about by physicians and so generally
understood by our population that
many persons depended on bottles of
spring" water brought from a dis
tance and on other beverages obtained
from bottles and kegs. Thousands of
poor persons drew their water supply
from pumps in old-time wells at street
corners. They thought it better tast-
ing water than Potomac water. 1t
was also clear. They knew that there
was the chance OF death in every
glass both of well water and Potomac
water. After every flood our drinking
water was dirtier and otherwise more
dangerous. Boiling and cooling Po-
tomac water for home use was n com
mon household duty. There was a
large sale of filters which took the
mud from the water. All that was not
so very long ago. 1t required years Of
pressure on Congress before the Capi-
tai could be provided with a public
filtering plant which clarifies the wa
ter and relieves it of myriads of dis
ease germs.

Economic Suicide" :"

evf.relary Mellon spoke truly when
he admonished the Senate finance
committee yesterday that the pro
posed increase in the estate tax rate
from 25 per cent to 40 per cent is
economic suicide His logic was SO
clear in support of this assertion that
it seems the committee would not be
proposed increase.
1t is incredible that any legislator
having in mind the welfare Of his
own state would consent to n rate Of
taxation which would in the end cause
the states to resort to higher land
taxes, from being deprived of an i'm
portant source Of state revenue. Sec
retary Mellon pointed out that the
government should keep estate taxes
in reserve for times of national dis
tress. All prior Inheritance taxes have
been war taxes. he said. and il is
only now that Congress proposes to
destroy this reserve when revenue
from other sources is not only ade-

needs.
Secretary Mellon made the point,
we'll taken, that in this country the
social necessity Of breaking up large
fortunes does not exist. A mans es-
tate is usually divided among his
heirs and in a few generations any
large single estate is split into many
moderate inheritances. His advice
should be followed by the legislators
in this recommendation.

Six-Mile Limit Plan
Suggested for Italy

italy is said to have informed the
State Department at Washington that
she is willing to conclude treaty
with the United States along the
same lines as the one recently nego-
tiated with Great Britain. to control
liquor smuggling and similar offenses.
1t is said, however. that the Italian
government is in favor of changinE
the historic three-mile limit to
limit of six miles.
This is really another question, not
having any necessary connection with
special agreements entered into IL
order to facilitate protection against
ships lowering outside a country's
territorial limit whether the distance
be three miles or six, for the purpose
country's laws. And it is not a
question that can be solved by
treaties with individual countries.
England asked for a specific
recognition of the old-tinle three-mile
limit in the treaty just negotiated. be-
cause this treaty might otherwise
have been taken as breaking away
from the traditional ideas of a
definite right of territorial jurisdic-
tion extending beyond country 8
actual shore lines, but having an
equally definite limit at a fixed dis
tance from that shore line.
1t is not IN Italy alone that the
old three-mile limit has been ques-
toned as not in accord with modern
needs. If 1t is to be changed, how
ever. the change will have to come
through a general agreement among
nations bordering upon ocean waters.
To secure such an agreement would
be a matter of some years, at best
but there is no reason why Italy's
desire for such a change should
stand in the way of the inmediatt
conclusion of treaty to control ths
Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.

Potomac Indians.

It is not widely known that a woman
who is rated as the foremost author
ity on Indian music has long been
associated with the bureau of Ameri-
can ethnology of the Smithsonian In
stitution. 1t was noted in the news

vation of Indian music, and most per-
sons are not impressed with it when
they hear it, but to some music stu
dents it may be interesting, and to
students of the first people Of our
country of whom we have any knowl-
edge it is worthwhile subject. It is
a good thing that the Smithsonian has
already done much to preserve Indian
music and to gather all possible in
formation about the race. That race
is passing, or if a fragment survive
it will cease to be Indian.
Regret is often felt that so little
definite, detailed knowledge of the In
dians of Maryland and Virginia has
come to us. In the old chronicles Of
our part of the country are number
less references to Indians, but the In
dian was the reverse Of an inviting
subject to the few writer's or scientific
investigators of those times. It
seemed not to be thought that time
might come when descendants Of the
immigrants from Europe might want

COURAGE
II an, the master OF my fate,
l am the captain of my soul"
--HENLEY.

When Frank A Vanderlip was
twelve years old his father died and
the boy had to help make the farm
small yield Four years later the
heavily mortgaged place was sold and
the farmer boy could find only one
job in nearby Aurora, III. That was
in machine shop, where for ten
hours work a day he was paid rs
cents.
He had gone to country school part
OF the time and had studied at night
Now he learned and taught after
hours, and saved enough to enter the
University of Illinois. Completing the
course In mechanical engineering
there, he sought work, but could find
nothing but his old machinist job,
now paying s1.S5 a day.
He studied stenography by mail.
The machine shop shut down and he
became handy man on the Aurora
newspaper at 81 a day.
Next, in Chicago, he first was Stenog-
rapher and later manager of a concern
furnishing analytical business reports.
Then he was a reporter on a Chicago
newspaper and climbed to the position
of financial editor-and still continued
to study and to support the family. His
newspaper work attracted the attention
of Lyman J. Gage and when Gage was
appointed Secretary Of the Treasury he
took Vanderlip, now thirty three, to
Washington as his private secretary and
later made him assistant secretary of
the Treasury.
-Four years later Vanderlip was called
to the National City Bank of New York,
the largest bank in the country. Start
ing as vice president. with a salary of
$500 a year and no set duties, he
created field and built the bank bus-
ness. At the end of eight years he. at
forty-fve. became president and con-
tinued to make the institution more
powerful. He headed the International
Banking Corporation when IL began it's
active campaign for banking business
of the world, then became interested in
many other concerns.
Having amaSsed fortune, he retired
when fifty-five. He has been honored
by this and other countries and is known
for his many benefactions, modestly

Standing Up Alone
BY JOHN CARLYLE.

1t Is quite simple and easy to live
up to your ideals when you are in
the atmosphere for it. 1t is easy to
no opposition.
1t is not so easy when all the forces
with which you are in contact at the
moment are pulling the other way.
Few of you who read this would
set out deliberately to violate law.
Few would set out deliberately to
make fools of themselves, to destroy
self-respect. to change their normal
behavior to lower plane. Left to our
selves or left in the right company, we
should do pretty well. We should
keep on the plane of self-respeeting
behavior.
The real test Of man comes when
he is suddenly faced with the oppor-
tunity to make quick decision. Tho
real test comes when he must decide
whether he will move with the crowd,
which he knows is going the wrong
way, or whether he will turn and
travel alone.
Perhaps you will object that you
do not know what is the right thing
to do. Very likely you don't Few do.
But all of US know what we think is
the right thing to do.
All that any Of US can be asked to
do is to do what we think is the right
thing.
All that any Of us can be asked to
do is to do as well as we know how.
You may be a young man or a
young woman reading this. The time
will come today, tomorrow, perhaps
over and over again, when you must
go along with your associates or you
must let them go their way while
you go yours. 1t is not easy. A half
dozen persons, even three or four, all
thinking the same way, all trav cling
the same road, create atmosphere.
They give color and reality and a
bill of health to a course of action
which you know in deliberate thought
must prove to be the wrong course.
Here is where the hard task begins.
Don't hang any laurels on yourself
for making a good record when you
have moral support on all sides of
you, in front and behind you.
Don't treat yourself to any medals
because you have satisfied your ideals
of personal conduct when you have
been alone.
How have you behaved. what have
you done with your ideals and con-
victions, when all the good fellows

To the Editor of The Star:
We have read and heard much Lately
of MISUNDERSTANDING and inefficiency OIL
the part of various government officials

called at the insurance division in the
Arlington building for information cor
corning my war risk insurance.
/ told the very courteous young LADY
at the counter what l wanted to know.
She advised me that she would have to
telephone to another Office for the de-
sired information, and asked me to be
seated. knew that they would have to
refer TO several files and make a few
calculations from insurance tables, and
so l made myself comfortable for long
stay.
Imagine my surprise when just three
minutes later the young lady beckoneo
me to the counter and gave me all the
desired information in language so sim
pie that a tweiVe-year-old Child could
have understood it.
Other business took me to two othec
offices of the bureau, where / found the
same high degree of efficiency, and was
caused to feel that it was. indeed. the
Veterans Bureau.
Were it not for conserving newspaper

wounds of war in accordance with the

to know how the aborigines dressed,
prepared their food, ate, drank.
smoked, sang, loved and worshiped.
Little was written on those subjects,
and what written accounts have been
preserved are sometimes confusing and
contradictory. When ethnologists of
the National Museum were preparing
group to represent Potomac In
dians they had to fall back a good
deal on speculation as to how they
painted themselves, what kind Of ami
NAL skins they wore and how they
wore them. The sites OF scores of
Indian towns on the site of and close
to Washington were forgot. and dur
ing the last half of the nineteenth
century there was much scientific in
terest in relocating them.
