IN GERMANY

With the ieers of the communist s
 ringing in his ears when he asked
 that the honor and good name of Ger
 many be considered, Chancellor Marx,
 Of Germany, told the members of the Reichstag that only by prompt ana
 wholehearted work together toward carrying out the Dawes report would Germany he saved from disaster,
 The Marx-stresemann combination represents tho moderstes of that coun- try All of the world is hoping that they will continue in power, and that the nationalists will not be complete stumbling block in their way, as they arc in a position 10 he if they insist upon carrying out their haif-formed plans. The nationalists did not present even possible candidates 10 oppose Marx and Stresoms Germany despite the failure of the nationalists to depart from their position sf rec fusing to believe that any sort of sub
 mission will aid their country, still has sense enough to recognize this fact. If Marx and stresemapn ar. able 10 withstand the constant mumbled opposition that they will know exists, there is hope--end there seems 10 be hope in this way only. Marx is far weaker as man than Stresemann but it is possible that the latter's knowl. edge, and tho formers comparatively understanding common sense, will prevail.
 This is no lsuding Of either Of the men in power in Germany. Strcsemann was not success, but his previous experience will count now. Marx is weak, and his moderate tendencies may be the result of that weakness. But whatever the reason for such moderate stand, urging adherence to the Dawes plan. with evacuation Of the Ruhr favored but secondary. t is the wise attitude for Germany to take in her own interests to say nothing Of inc interest Of the rest Of the world.

 But there is another aspect of the
 matter. While not legally responsible ! for inherent defects that are not
 plainly visible to anyone giving ma
 chine casual inspection, the seller
 or agent for car is morally bound to do the best he can for the purchaser
 of a car which develops defect caused by poor manufacture. The
 honest dealer, the successful dealer, has strong pull and long pull with
 th emanufacturers of the car. If he can not remedy the defect properly
 himself, he is certainly bound to use all his efforts to get moral justice for
 his customer. Not only is he morally
 bound to do this, but it is another case where honesty is the best policy.

This should not be so. There are some dealers who make point of doing for their cus- toners what they would wish done for themselves. They use all their in- fluence to htave his loss adjusted and to have the faulty car or part re- placed. The dealers power is limited, usually by the success he has had in selling the make of automobiles he ! handles. Despite the decision of the ! court absolving the dealer from liabil- !! ity for an inherently defective car, the fact should be emphasized that i selling a man a car is, in a sense. | making a representation to him that it is perfect machine.

THE FRESH AIR CAMP

Generous as the people of the city
 have been in the past few years when
 the Herald has asked for contributions
 to the Fresh Air Camp for the under
 nourished children of the city, few of
 them know that to those children this
 camp has become a beloved institu-
 ton. They think of 1t all winter; they
 pray that they will be allowed to go;
 to them it is a little bit of Heaven
 upon earth and in their childish
 dreams of happiness there is a very
 real vision Of that camp and the won
 derful feeling of strength 1t has given
 them to spend a week or more there.
 The tragedies of childhood are greater far than we, who have long since outgrown childhood, appreciate today. There, little girl, don't cry; they have broken your doll know" runs the old song, ending with the soothing of young girlhood by com- forting words after the There little girl, don't cry; they have broken your heart, I know" but time and other joys will heal the young girls weary heart, while time and joys never heal the body of the young man or woman who, all through the early days of their dreary lives has suffered from want and a breath. of the pure air Of the country.
 It is a. great happiness to be able to make this sort of an appeal to the people of the city, for there is tho con- viction that such plea brings no frown to tho reader--rather, it in- spires a thoughtful vision of the evcr- lasting good small. contribution 10 the fund gives to the little children of our city who, without such subscrip- tions would pass through the hot days days ahead gradually growing a little thinner; gradually growing little weaker and gradually losing interest in the life that may be made 10 mean so much to them. This year an attempt is 10 be made Co put in more "chifd weeks" If will be impossible to take all who need il to the camp, but at least we may try to help bring the benefits of it to a greater extent, thus leaving not only those strong enough to fight through the heat with less physical loss Of strength than those who, because they are so badly in need of this time in place where health and happiness and hope is taken into the lungs with every breath. And with the renewed 1 strength, happiness, hope, comes purity Of thought appreciation Of the ! beauty Of cleanliness. Then there is { spread all through the city on the lips | Of the children returning strengthened . in mind and body, a word of cheer which makes the sunshine more bright the day happier for all who come in contact with them. In future years these children, many Of them. will owe their strength, their helpfuness to society. to you who aid them today to prepare for hose years.
 Again the Herald asks your contri- button. great or small. for this work which is one of love. "1nssmuch as ye have done r unto the least Of these, ye have done it unto Me"

 Drainage Dangers
 Conccding the danger of drainage Of oil from the reserves, which had been emphasized by Fall as one prin- cipal reasons which actusted him in making the leases, the report decar- cd the crucial inquiry so far as Teapot Dome is concerned was "whether if is better for the government 10 have 22,000, ,000 barrels of oil in the ground or 1,666,665 barrels in tanks at the seaboard." This question. it was as- serted, should have been left for con- gress to decide.
 The Elk Hill lease 10 Doheny was described as "unexceptionaI" but the subsequent contracts with Doheny un- der which government royalty oil was exchanged for tankage. were attacked. Reviewing the testimony regarding the s10n,000 payment to Fall by Do- heny. the report declared that the es- sentially corrupt character Of loan made under such circum stances re- quired no comment.
 Loan Is Discussed
 Tt would be impossible for an of- fiicer to accept a loan of such an amount or perhaps Of any amount un- der the curcuinstances," 1t continued. without a sense of obligation to the lender. which. unless his character was cast in heroic mold. would be re- Nealed in subsequent official transac- tions with him.
 . Its sinister import is appreciated when if is borne in mind that, without competitive bidding. xxxx Dobspv got from Fall, in the month of April following. the contract for the con structiop of the tanks at Pearl liar hor. and with it preference right to a lease of large share of naval oil reserve number |. to be followed without competitive bidding, by lease Of the entire reserve. compris- ing over S0,0n0 acres, estimated 10 contain 250.010,000 barrels of oil. out of which. Doheny told the committee. he would be in bad luck if he did not make sfgO.000. 900 profit"
 In criticizins the use of royalty oil for construction of steel storage tank age the report declared that steel storage tanksre should be constructed only upon contract calling for the payment of money 10 be appropriated by congress for that specific purpose

MOTHER NATURE"

Ii is fairly safe bet that the young
 man and maid who went out into the
 woods to catch rabbits and live by
 their hands alone will rather hesitate
 again to refer to nature as mother. Mothers do not treat their children as nature evidently treated the young
 people who haee now been found ill
 the widest part of New Jersey-and
 New Jersey can be pretty wild
 where wildcats are known to have
 been seen, and where rattlesnakes abound.
 It is more than probab ble that neither
 the man nor the maid knew anything about the wildcats nor the rattle
 snakes. and 1t looks a great deal as though they did not know much about catching the rabbits upon which they
 were going to feed. They are sadder
 but wiser now, and if the thing was a publicity scheme, they have paid
 well for whatever advertising they get out of it, They consented" to be taken
 back 10 civilization, say the reports, and once arrived there the man want cd two or three meals, while the young woman was not loud in her
 praise of the evening meal of weeds in tomato can they had been pre- pariag when found.
 All kinds Of statements have been made. and articles written, on the modern tendency 10 do new things: on the independence of women of to- day; on the various new thought movements which are popular. more or less, among those who enjoy being different" The case of these young people who went into the woods with out preparation or proper outfits of any sort, is perhaps the last word in expression Of what things would come 10 if the tendency noted at present continues. whether the stunt was done for pubicity's sake or not, There is q great deal of good in the tendency on the part of women to seek inde- pendencc. Much beneft will come from the addition Of the product Of their brains 10 the knowledge of the world, It is well that the pendulum began to swing out of it's old position where woman was absolutely helpless and completely dependent upon man. That pendulum has swung down through the center and up on the other side to it's limit. It can so little farther with the momentum it rec celyed in starting. The downward swing, the reaction, is bound to come soon if not now. When if does swing it will not go lip quite so high on the 1 side whence it started. Never again 1 in all probability will the world see l woman in that old. helpless situation. No pendulum even swings back to its starting point But it will go in l hat direction and then begin again 1 lis downward swing and up on ire other side nearly, but not quite, 10 the point of Independence of women t is DOW reaching. When at last, however, t comes 10 rest and Is motionless. 1t . Eill be found pretty near the happy ! means between extravagant action i, snch as that represented by this cdi- ,ode Of the young couple. and Inc old, clinging-,ine position Of rears ago. That result will be good. This at least. IS the belief Of the per- ton who is convinced that there is ,ome order in the world and that we ire working toward better. stronger md most just ideals of life.
 Anyway. we are glad the babes in he p-ood have hetn fed. n
