French Ask Change
 In U. s. Tariff Law

Paris, Nov, 7.--The provision fin tho American tariff law for examin- ation of exporters books by an American treasury agent Is regard ed by the French national commit tee of the International Chamber of Commerce as encroaching upon the sovereignty of the various coun. trios doing business with the United States. Consequently it has decided to join in a request from the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian committees asking the American committee to take up the matter with the United States government and advise modl. fication of the article in question.

ANOUNCING AN EARTHQUAKE

Prof. Caselli of Italy, earthquake specialist in
land where there is plenty of subject material says
he has constructed apparatus which announces the
ouakes Is minutes before they arrive He also says 1t
is possible to tell before hand just where the quakes
are coming and how intense they will be.
If this is true, one of mans greatest foes Will be
rendered comparatively harmless From the beginning,
the human race has had horror of earth tremors:
Millions of men and women through thousands OF
ages have pershed from this cause In modern times
the tremors are doubtless less violent than they USED
to be- when the earth hotter and its crust was
more thin and brittle but there is new danger un-
known to primitive tribes. Buildings topped down
on the heads of their dwelers and great fires break
out If there is ample warning of quake, people can
escape from the buildings and their lives even
though they lose their property.
It is wonderful invention. Yet man has been
curiousy slow produce it. Prof Casell says ne has
discovered in his studies that animals preceive the
warning signals preceding earthquakes, and thereby
avoid the danger Man only learning to do, tardily
and rather awkwardly what the animals have always
done easily and naturally. They seem to have some
sense upon which the electrical waves sent out by the
incpient earthquake may register Man probably
had that sense and lost it, and has to build clumsy
machines to replace IT.

SOCIAL WELFARE AND CHARITY

Modern social welfare work is undoubtedly few
steps ahead of the odfashoned charity which ignored
causes But on the other hand modern methods
sometimes seem to lean too far toward an unsvm-
pathetic routine treatment of human ills
All of this has come in for great deal of discus
sion recently because of New Yorks bobbed.haired
bandit now beginning tenyear prison term lot her
latest ofenses against the law 1t was found that DUR
ing her lifetime she had in contact with num-
ber of different social agencies and that her parents
had had such contacts before she was born Yet none
of the welfare groups who supposedly should nave set
this girl on sef-respecting, constructive path sue
ceeded in doing so and the state must now support her
and pav for its mistakes while she pays for hers
worker who was "up against stark want wrote
to newspaper as follows:
"The writer walked the streets looking for work,
and when that could not be found looking for shelter
and could find none in all the great charities OF the
city Endless advice dozens of fool questions talk Oh
the terrible of being out of work. etc. out
no offer of food, lodging or carfare.

from exhaustion if it had not been for deaconess
whose mind was SO simple that she actually gave help
before she asked where your parents were BORN, II
YOU drank why you out of work and all the otner
bright questions that a person seeking hefp has to
answer -
Somewhere between the blind charity of earlier
days and the overorganZed social work OF the present
there must be variety that combines human under
standing with efficiency and intelligence Red tape
is hard to wind up but perhaps some OF it could be
cut through more directly than it is.

MUSIC Nv AMERICA

The National Federation of Music Clubs OF Amer.
lea has adopted for its slogan "a Musical America,
and il announces that its ideal is much closer to reaz
alton than we know. Today American is singing play
ing composing and approaching good music as never
before.
New York is said to be the musical center OF
the world offering fine opportunities for study as
any Old Ward center and attracting to IL music STU
dents and artists from many other countries.
More encouraging than that fact, to patriotic
lovers, is the appreciation and enjoyment Of
music to be found all through the United states IN !ne
small cities as we'll as the large The education
given public school children today is far ahead OF that
of only a generation ago. Music memory contests and
contests in sful instrumental performance found
IN many states and cities. High school glee clubs,
chestras and bands reaching wider range of
children than before had access to much good
music And those who cannot learn to perform are
learning to enjoy and appreciate.
