PUTTING UP A GOOD FRONT ABROAD.

The anecdote is old, but it will bear repeat
ing: It is related Of Joseph Choate that he was
walking the streets of London one rainy night
in the wee sma' hours when an English Bobby
advised him to Ego on home" Choate replied
II have no home. / am the American Am
bassador." BY the gift of J. Pierpont Morgan,
Uncle Sam now owns an embassy in London
which will be occupied as soon as necessary
To~7i~s are made.
Inc same day that the Senate confirmed the
nomination of Edgar A. Bancroft as Ambassa-
dor to Japan, the House of Representatives au-
thorized an appropriation of $1,25O,OOO to &C
quire additional land and to construct an en-
bassy and consulate general at Toxic The
present embassy was badly damaged in the
quake of '23, since which time it has been To-
Gated at the Imperial hotel. Because Oriental
houses are wholly unadapted to western uses,
the diplomatic and consular staffs will be
quartered in the official residences. The yen is
now 20 per cent below par.
At the present time this nation owns foreign
service residences in Rio de Janeiro; Santiago,
Chile; San Jose, Costa Rica; Havana Mexico
City; San Salvador; Constantinople; London /;
Paris; Christiana, Norway (now called Oslo) /;
Annoy, Picking and Shanghai, China; Seoul,
Chosen; Tahiti, Society Islands; and Yoko-
hama, Japan. The cost of these properties ag-
gregated $2,202,O0O. But there are still many
American foreign service officers who are in
Choate's predicament We are paying rentals
totaling nearly 100000 annually, or 6 per cent
on $6,550,000. Ess
There is pending in Congress bill for a
lump sum appropriation to enable the Secre-
tary of State to take advantage of any oppor-
tunities for purchase which may occur, and as
Assistant Secretary Wilbur Carr, of the State
Department, said:
eff we had had in 1920 lump-sum appro-
priation, with the power vested in the Secre-
tary of State, we could have had in Berlin for
SIS, 1000 the.o old Austrian Embassy, for which
we were asked 100000 last year. We could
have had ia Brussels an embassy establish
ment which we cannot get today for consider
able more money. We could have had in Paris
for much less than the amount that we finally
paid an embassy building property equally as
good"

DOPE.

]
Popular belief that addiction o
drugs is contributing factor to crime
is given rude jolt by DR.. Lawrence
Kolb, surgeon of the hygienic labora-
tory of the U. S. Public Health Serv-
lice. a
After a personality and psychiatric
study of 225 drug addicts in city jails
and hospitals, DR.. Kolb concludes that
mo opiate ever directly Influenced adj
diets to commit violent crimes, and in
the vast majority of cases a criminal
addict was a criminal before he got
the drug habit"
Fluctuations in the homicide wave,
he says, are due to factors that bear
no relation to drug addiction.
One addict told him, "If there is
any yellow in you, heroin will bring it
out" Another said, 1T would be i'm
possible to commit a crime but you
do bad things that there are no risks
in"
Belief that "dope" is an incentive
to bold crime has long been popu-
lar theory. Perhaps it owes part of
its popularity to the adherence of
most of us for, drugs and drug ad-
diets. One hopes that DR.. Kolb's
findings will not encourage more adj
diction.

Daily Health Hint
BEST OF ALL FOODS.

What is the best single food we
have? Mrs. Mann of Anyhow was
asked in her study Of foods for health's
sake
Without a moments hesitation she
answered that it was milk.
Milk contains all the elements or
dinarily needed for healthy growth
1t is the only food of babies, calves,
pigs and puppies, and if these grow
and thrive on it, it must contain all
the elements necessary to life.
Every person should have at least
a pint of milk day, and quart would
be better.
When the boys and girls are grow
ing rapidly-and this means right on
through that period of rapid growth
from IL to Is years-they really need
q quart for the best development.
The demand for calcium for the
bones and muscles is great during this
time, and the principal ingredient of
milk is calcium.
1t is not necessary to drink the
whole quart of milk. Some of it may
be taken on cereal, some made into
cocoa, creamed soups, custards, jun
ket, rice or other cereal pudding.
If you and your family would be
healthy, use plenty of milk.

WAGES AND SALARIES.

In the decade from 1914 to 1923 the per-
centage increase in the amount paid out in
wages in industries was ISL; in salaries 100;
in number of wage earners 27; salaried en-
ployees BIG; in cost of materials 141; in value
of products 150 and in value added by manu-
facture 1853. Percentages are derived from an
analysis of the summary of census manufact-
ures of the United States just made public by
the Department of Commerce.
Stated in round numbers the wage bill in
creased from $4,068, 100000 in 1914 to $1O,-
986,0O0,0 900 in 1928; salaries from 81 ,274 000,-
900 to $2805, 100000; wage earners from
6,896,000 to 8763,000; salaried employees,
1925 to 100000; cost of materials from
$14,359 100000 to $34628, 100000 Gncluding
fuel mill supplies, containers, etc.; value of
products, $23, 1888 100000 to 1904 900, 900:
and value added by manufacture $9,629, 100000
to $25,853, 100000. In 1914 the per capita an
nual wage earnings averaged $500, and $1,254
in 1928. Salaries per capita averaged $1,324
in 1914 and $2,216 in 1928 Thus the per
capita increase for the former was 1875 and
for the latter 674 per cent This included part
time skilled and unskilled occupations
1t will thus be noted that the manufactures
bill for salaries, wages and cost of materials
in 1914 was $19,7O1 000,00 which was $4,287,-
100000 less than the value of products that
year; those items totaled $48, 419, 000, 900 in
1928, or about $12,oooO 100000 less than the
value of products. The aggregate capitaliza-
tion of the industries is not shown in the sum-
mary, so we may not determine at this time
what relation value of products bore to money
invested. Then there are other items of ex-
pense to consider The statistics deal with
establishments with products over $4,000 in
value, and establishments engaged in automo-
bile renaiYinp are not included
The value of products for 1923 was about
$4,000 100000 less than for 1919, when the
world was buying madly, and Europe was re-
Stocking but 1923 eclipsed 1921 by about ST.
000,000,000, while wages were larger, salar-
les smaller, item in 1928 than in 1919, and
much larger in both cases in 1928 than in 1921.
In 1924 immigrants were crowding into this
country at the rate of 100000 annually to
profit by the American wage scale. In 1923
they were greatly restricted. The American
workingman has entered the salary class and
is protected on all sides by tariff and inlmigra-
tion laws.

opinions of more than a million farmer mem

in IS states.
What this very sizeable group of hard

SAFETY.

One hundred and thirty-one fewer
lives were lost in railroad crossing &C
cidents in the United States during the
period from June / to Oct. 1, 1924,
than during the corresponding period
of the previous year.
This. was due largely to the inten-
sive safety campaign conducted by our
railroads, which started June 1. The
decrease in fatalities was made in the
face Of 20 per cent increase in the
number of automobiles in use.
Much credit for conservation of hui
man life should go to the National
Safety Council, an organization that
does as much in its way to prevent
accidents and deaths as the Red Cross
does to administer to the victims of
disaster. W
