New York, Aug. 4.--Along the
arteries that flow into Broadway the
dust of summer has gathered upon
But behind the unlit lights and the
fading gold paint the seasons great

This is the time of year when pro-
auctions are hurled together some
how or other, rushed out in the
provinces" and, after the question
of life or death has been determined,
come back to Broadway to make or
break their producers.
Now is the time when the calls 90
out for chorus girls, when every va
cant hall echoes with the voices of
promoters and actors, when east
side, west side, and all around the
town the burlesque and cheap show

puts them through the PAGES.
Now is the season when the cold

who can dig up girls.
The little lost job seekers from the
thousands of American towns sud-
denly become further lost in the
hectic swirl of stage-craze. Perhaps
they will land a job here or there,
only to have the veterans show up
at the last moment and squeeze
them out.
1t is the old, old game of the

Celtic Congress Fears
Irish Language Dying Out

Dublin-LP)-There was recently
concluded in Dublin an interesting
congress representing all sections Of
the Celtic race, delegates attending
from Gaelic Scotland. from Wales,
and from Brittany. The discussions
were largely concerned with the pre-
servation of the Irish language.
canon De Valero, said that emigra-
ton from the Irish speaking districts
of Ireland was the greatest difficult
ty to be contended with. He was
satisfied, he declared, that those at
the head of affairs, could, if they
wished. get the money to establish
industries to keep the Gael at home.
Other speakers said the language
was dying because the native speak
.ers set no value on it. Professor
Gruffydd from Wales said that any
amount of teaching of the language
in the schools was. of no more use
in saving it "than q tinkling Gym.
bal" unless there were put into it
something that gave dignity to the
person who spoke it.
It was urged that emigration from
the Irish speaking districts should
be stopped. A resolution was adopt
ed unanimously declaring that Irish
should be essential in the final ex-
animation for degrees in every col
lege for doctors, lawyers and en-
gineers, and that laws should be
passed accordingly.

Craftsmanship

The chap who is starting out a salesman can
find nnumerable books and correspondence courses
telling him how train himself 80 that he can sell
alomst anything to almost anyone.
AS training foy novice in the business these are
doubtless of considerable worth Every trade has
its fine points that he handed down by expert.
But after all. there is good deal OF value in the
old-fashioned idea Of tieng up with a house that
really offers its customers complete satisfaction for
their money-and then working as hard and honest
ly as one humanity can.

FRIDAY, AUGUST Ia, 1925

Special picnics "for poor children"
are being provided by New York re-
ligious organizations. 1t is 4 good
work.
But the word is a misnomer.
There are no poor" children. any
more than there are "illegitimate"
children.
There are children Of poor parents,
or Of illegitimate parents.
Or. in another sense, all rhildren
are poor. They are unable to pro-
vide for their own needs, and are, en-
titled to support from others.
The obligation is first on the par
ent, and second on society. But the
right Of the child is the same. either
way.
1t is its right to receive support,
recreation and education, without
paying for them.
The child is more poor" il the
payment comes from one source than
II it comes from another.
The right of the child TO receive
it ought not to depend on the abili-
ty Of the parents to give it.
An austrian aTCnieCt IN IArlS
predicts the development Of aerial
cities, with houses suspended from
frames several hundred feet in the

portatiOn.
1t is all possible. except for the
one factor that everybody ignores.
That is earthquakes.
Sooner or later, the earthquake
comes everywhere.> The more cities
we build, the more likelihood of
there being city in the place where
a particular earthquake comes.
Unless we build cities earthquake
proof, constantly increasing num-
Der Of them will be devastated.
Most of the fantastic speculations
regarding the city Of the future en-
visage structures which an earth
quake would destroy. With cities al
ready built. we must take the
chances, and the consequences.
But we should. not. even. in our
dreams, plan future cities on the as
sumption that the "solid earth" will
remain solid. Whatever is "built
for the ages" must be built to with
stand the earthquake which the ages
are sure to bring.

Editorial Comment
Changing the Grade Basis
Est. Paul Dispatch)

Est. Paul Dispatch
On Tuesday the state of Minnesota made the
first move in what will result in n and fair
er method of establishing wheat grades when
through the Railroad and Warehouse comm ssion
it set in motion two laboratories one at Mime
apos and one at Duluth, by which, at the nom NAL
cost Of 70 cents any farmer may learn the milling
value of his wheat, before he sells it to his local
elevator. The service is naturally for Minncsot
farmers, but it is unlikely that Il sample from any
neighboring state, when accompanied by the fee and
when the wheat is destined for the Minnesota te"-
minals, would be rejected.
Until now wheat has been sod on the Federal
grade and bought on its milling value. The differ
ence went, where the carload was the product of
several farmers to the local elevator its ter-
minal agency. 1t is that condition that Minnesota
authorities seek to remedy. Now, though a man
may have but wagon load he can know its value
before marketing it and the local elevator is bound
to recognize the findings of the cereal chemist en-
ployed by the state, and pay the true price. That
is no small step forward
The next step is logical. 1t is the request p,.
forward by Chairman O. b. p. jacobson of the com
mission that the Secretary Of Agriculture call a
conference of experts to remedy the unfairness of
the Federal grades they are today and to bring
them in accord with the advance made by Mime
sofa. That will surely come. If the Department Of
Agriculture can set up similar test for flax, il
has done this week under the direction of Robert
II. Black of the Grain Office Of the Department in
Minneapolis, it can be done for wheat. Under this
test. the oil content of flax be established by
a new process requiring but IL minutes. and call
ing for sample of one pound Of flax and char ging
no fee. 1t Is conceded that Federal grades fax
are non-exstent and that purchase and sale is by
rule of thumb" If it is possible to use the Opt
CAL test of the Valentine refractometer to remove
this uncertainty as to grade and quality of flax, is
it not possible for the Federal government to apply
similar test for the grade and quality of wheat:
Assuredly it is and as certainly will it be done.
That alone will mean many millions Of dollars for
the Northwest

If YOU EAT HEARTILY, EXERCISE

Hundreds Of years ago Confucius,
the Chinese philosopher. said: EAT
sparingly and walk far"
Wisdom of this statement is as oh
vious today as in the days of Con-
fucius. Hundreds Of ills follow in
the wake of heavy eating.
A stuffed stomach causes heart
trouble, which often results in APO
plexy. 1t clogs the. veins with poi

often is caused from heavy eating.
However, if one takes exercise

that the new German synthetic
methanol is exactly as poisonous as
the more familiar American distilled
wood alcohol. And the methanol is
the more dangerous, because it is
cheap and pure.
Wood alcohol when made' contains
impurities which make it undrink-
ably offensive, and it is expensive
to deodorize. Methanol is pure and
inoffcnsive to begin with, and it is
very cheap.
1t makes a palatable drink, not
distinguishable by the taste from a
similar drink made with grain alco-
hol.
But a little Of that drink will poi
son you: a little more will blind you,
and any considerable dose will kill
you.
Whoever, therefore, sells it for
beverage purposes is more than
bootlegger. He is murderer.
An,i.vivisection Bill Doesn't Aim at
Cruelty
lncide ntally, this announcement
would not have been possible if our
friends the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. could
have their way.
There are only two ways to find
out whether a substance is poison
Gus. One is to TRY it on dog" or
some other animal. The other is to
try it on yourself.
The Harvard investigators Of
course used animals. But this is ex-
actly what the anti-vivisectors would
prevent.
Their last bill, submitted by initia-
tive to the voters Of California, ex-
pressly prohibited, not cruelty, but
science.
1t forbade not only surgical, but
medical or physiological experiments
on animals. whether painful or not,
and with or without anesthet,c. pro-
vided the purpose was scientific; but
if the purpose was other than scien-
tific. it expressly authorized the de-
horning. gelding, caponizing and
branding Of animals, without anes-
thetic and with pain.
This would have prevented the
testing of poisons, or Of the dosage
of drugs or serums, on animals.
But not the poisoning or injecting
of the same animals to get rid Of
them, or the chopping off OF their
tails, to make them look smarter.
The thing aimed at was not cruelty,
but science.

Farmers of the Mnot district have purchased 800
