Call a MAJ, Sweet
N0,v If You Would
Praise His COURAGE

The time-honored usage OF
sand" as a synonym of courage is
all wrong-'tis sugar that makes
heroes.
To be called a sweet thing" il
a compliment rather than a term
of derision to excite masculine
resentment, scientists now tell us.
For the sweetest are the bravest,
they say, or words to that effect.
Anyway. they are quite certain,
and have proved by tests. that it
is the amount of sugar in our
blood that makes the measure of
our courage. And here's the rea-
son as told to the American
Chemical Society by DIR. Edwin E.
Slosson of Washington, a noted
scientist.
"A variation of a few hundredths
of ! per cent in the glucose of the
blood may make the difference
between cowardice and courage,
may determine whether a man
shall be shot as Stacker or
medaled as a hero. Courage is not
a matter of sand but of sugar.
In the excitement of combat the
secretion of adrenalin is stimulat-'
ed, and this causes more sugar to
be released to the blood and so
strengthens a mans valor and en-
dows him with greater strength"
And the synonym for fear? 'Tis
"insulin." DR.. Slosson declares
that diabetic patients taking in
sulin tell him the first effect of an
overdose is 'the feeling of FORM
less fear. a vague apprehension.
sense of futility and failure, a
shiver of anxiety" Their courage.
he says, can be quickly restored
by food containing sugar. such as
bottled carbonated beverages.

The Endless Quest,

At the present rate of implication,
complication and multiplication the
task of the Senate committee on pub
lie lands investigating the naval oil
leases will be completed some time to-
ward the close of the present Con-
gress, if then. For day by day in
every way the story ramifies. The
trail leads outward into new places.
1t now goes back four years to the
republican nominating convention Of
1920. And nobody knows where the
lead backward will travel from there
when the new batch Of witnesses just
summoned in consequence of the
latest disclosures OF oil influences in
politics have been examined. For
every new lot of witnesses bring out
more new names, new allegations,
new charges, new possibilities.
This inquiry is proceeding somewhat
like the old endless chain" of let
ters. magnifying in geometric ratio.
If two witnesses are called, and each
names two people who know some
thing or may know something, and
each of those is called and names two
more who know or may know some
thing, the witness list soon becomes
tremendously prolonged. Yet that
seems to be about the course of the
inquiry to date.
1t is, Of course. important that all
the facts be disclosed and the whole
history of this oleageneous influence
in American politics and administra-
ton be brought to light. But the
process will be costly one, expensive
in time, in money and in human
energies. The Investigating committee
is on it's way, but does not know
exactly where it is going to land. Sin
cere sympathy should be felt for all
those engaged in this painful research,
who may if continued in Office spend
the remainder OF their days in pursuit
of the ultimate facts.

Push the New Conduit!

Haste in the construction of the sec
ond conduit from Great Falls is urged
ky tho chief Of engineers of the Army.
Hs has advised the President and the
Secretary of War that this new water
line should be made available at the
earliest possible date in order that
Washington's water supply may not
be cut of. The appropriation for this
work Is inadequate, and construction
of the conduit may lag. For more
rnan half a century Washington has
depended for it's water on a single con-
duit, and it is not possible to shut off
the flow of water long enough to
make substantial repairs. Gen. Beach
notes that the water tunnel from the
Georgetown reservoir to the filtration
plant has not been repaired since 1908.
and that it is now considered unsafe
TO unwater it for repair work for fear
that it's walls may collapse.
The situation is serious. A break in
the single water lire would expose.

thence and vast loss by fire. 1t is esti.
mated that with adequate appropria.
tions each year the new conduit could
be finished in 1877, but that If the an.
nual appropriation should run no
larger than that allowed by the budget
for the present fiscal year the conduit
could not be finished before 1882. The
sum appropriated for the work in 1925
is $500, 900, and it is urged by the chief
of engineers that it be increased to
S2,500,000. His argument Is that the
provision Of "any less sum may seri-
ously imperil the health and property
of the people Of the District Of CO.
lumbia." The Secretary Of War takes
the same view Of the situation as the
chief of engineers, and the matter
has been put before the President.
The water tunnel between the
Georgetown reservoir and the filtra-
tion plant was last examined in 1918,
and it was found that certain rein
forcement work done in 1908 was in
position. "but in such condition that
it has not been considered safe to un-
water the tunnel since that time for
fear of a collapse" The only proper
way to make repairs on this tunnel,
says Gen. Beach, is to wait until the
completion Of the new water system.
The chief of engineers hopes that the
tunnel will not fall in before that time.
Congress must realize the vital need
of appropriating the largest amount
that can be expended for the earliest
possible completion OF the work.
