OVERWORKTNG NATURE

: 8 Evidence mutiples regarding the Of electric
light on the farm Theefrst effects were felt in the
house benefittng mother particularly Then the ami
mails in the barn and the tending them realized
its blessings. Now the electric lamp has invaded the
greenhouse and hen coop, where it confers fav
ors on man at natures expense.
In northern greenhouses, vegetables forced
by artificial illumination during the dark winter
months and their daylight time is heightened. Light
it appears, is even important than heat and
moisture for plant growth.
,--. II works less wonderfully poultry And
therein there is really question of fairness to
dumb creation. A Kansas farmer reports that his
flock of 300 chickens producing only half dozen
eggs day until ne installed electric lighting sys

til daylight and again in the late afternoon until 80
D. m. Now he is getting 80 to &C eggs day.
Night life, to be sure, usually ivens up those sub
iected to it. But isn't there danger of overriding the
bright lights in the poultry yard elsewhere? What

FIGHTING THE OPIUM RING

Some Americans have regretted the participation
OF our government in the international opium confer
ence at Geneva because of the conflicts has deyel
oped, especially the mlXup with Great Britain. 1t Is
probably a good thing, for all that
The American delegates have stood and spoken
plainly for program calculated to remove the opium
curse from the world within the shortest possible
time Their idealistic efforts, though they may fail
for the present, destined bear fruit and win
eventually because they right. Right action need
never be regretted.
1t remained for a Chinaman, Nh SEE, to speak
perhaps the finest words of the conference Urging the
application Of justice to the east we'll as to the west
he declared
The legal subleties and evasons advanced here
will bring the contempt of future generations many
delegations who have not yet the light of newer
day when the rights of humanity and not national in
terests at stake.
I'VE deeply grateful to America for her fight
in this eleventh hour lift and the league out of
the Without the presence Of the United States
this conference would have been classified in the limbo
of forgotten things
Then the Japanese delegation, which had come to
the conference with definite program of its own, in
which felt natural pride, generously offered to-
abandon that program in favor of the American pro-
posals; - Hf'-sz -
For these proofs Of oriental decency and ideal
ism, though they make European setfishness all
the darker b contrast the fight against the wholesale
doping of mankind has been worth while. Against
such efforts the European governments bound~to the
profteering opium industry will be obligated to yield
sooner of later. -.-&

PLAY AND CRIME REDUCTION

The chief Of police Of Memphis, Tenn, is quoted
as saying There are three departments Of mum
icipal government that reduce crime. First our
playground and recreation department as an educa-
tional and preventive force. The police department
comes second, and our courts third"
Apparently the police chief is not the only Mem
phis citizen who has such belief in the usefulness OF
parks and Fairgrounds. Memphis is city OF about
65 600 Ii spends 1897 500 year Fairgrounds and
recreation 1t has invested S150OO000 in recreatlonal
facilities which include the setting apart of 1853 acres
of land % neghborhood parks the third largest zoo IN
the country and art gallery There are swimming
pools baseball grounds, golf courses, tennis courts
brdlepaths and beautiful flower gardens in the park
system.
Many people regard these things as foolishness
and consider the city that for them eXravagant
Memphis can point to unusually good record IN re-
gard TO juvenile delinquency to physical and moral
health for rich and poor citizens and to decreasing
crime record
Viewed in this light community Fairgrounds are
worth conside ably more than their cost.

41,555 AUTO TRUCKS IN

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 6.-L. D.
 Conrad, who is in charge of the mo. tol vehicle section "f the department of public works has advanceed a new suggestion for handling auto freight franchises. Though there were 41,555 auto trucks licensed this year only 323 of them were oper- ated on regular routes between fix ed terminal and under a state cer- tificate of necessity and convent ence. The operation of the present law is held unsatisfactory because it does not properly protect re- gular routes and does not reach other auto trucks in for-hire serv- ice MT. Conrad has suggested a proposed district; that trade route then to be established and all other for hire service be kept out of the district If the service proves un- satisfactory he would have it can- celed. The whole operation of the law thus would depend upon the wishes of the people to be served

WHO'S WHO IN MOSCOW
 LATEST SOVIET VOLUME

MOSCOW, Jan. 6.-The Sovet has entrusted talented young Hungar- an geographer, Rado, with the task of compiling new and unique "Baedeker' of the Soviet Union The volume which Rado, assisted by a small staff, is now producing will be without precedent in the history of guide-books. It will begin with a brief geographic introduction, includ- ing descriptions of the new republic within the Union.
 The historical chapters, complying with MaXist principles, will devote slight attention to individuals, Peter the Great, the first Romanoff and Lenin being virtually the only per- sons mentioned.
 Ensuing passages will sketch the structure of Soviet state, the com munist party and the Red army, and special articles will be contributed by experts on trade, industry, agri- culture, transport and finance un- der the Soviets.
 The usual hints to the bewildered tourists will include suggestions that foreigners should always pay the droshke-driver one-half of the fare requested, and that the conventional method of address. Mister" has been replaced by the more unaccus- toned "Comrade."
