ADDRESS UNKNOWN.

A company of schools cadets in England
having received a message from the Prince
of Wales, mailed a courteous reply to His
Royal Highness, and were astonished to get
their letter back stamped Address Unknown. y
They were not alone in this experience,
however. The British postofice has a great
deal of use for that stamp Of course, every
body known where the Prince Of Wales is The
farther he travels, the more the whole world
knows his whereabouts But it is remarkable
how many people feel obliged to write to the
poor Prince, and he simply has to be protected
somehow or other from world of eager cor
respondents.
If only other celebrities, large and small
could be safeguarded by the same official lie
A deluge of mail is one of the prices paid for
fame. Many an American would give thous-
ands of dollars if he could persuade the United
States postoffice to forget his address.

Hoover Right ON Combinations.

Secretary Hoover is of course right
in his suggestion that if foreigners
are free to form selling combinations,
to hold up American business, Ameri-
cans will have to be permitted to form
buying combinations to meet them.
With only one buyer, to the one SELL
er, the result is likely to be about the
same as under free competition on
both sides.
So far, the scheme is obvious. But
it can not stop at $50 far.p
The buying combine, to hold down
American wholesale buying prices,
could too easily be diverted to sell
ing combine, to put up American retail
prices to the consumer.
Unless the savings of monopoly are
passed on to the consumer, they be-
come extortion.
In our experience, the way to pre-
vent this has been public regulation.
We have applied this to public util-
tiles, because they are, in large part,
natural monopolies.
We shall doubtless have to do the
same thing to any other. business in
which we protect an artificial mo-
nopoly in any of its parts.

NERvE-WRACKED ENGINEERS.

A phase of the grade crossing problem given
too little attention hitherto is the wear and
tear on the nerves of locomotive engineers
caused by speeding and careless motorists An
engineer of long and faithful service for the
Missouri Pacific railroad recently gave up his
position because he couldn't stand the strain
Of watching out for automobiles at grade
crossings. This is what he says about it:
"You can't tell what the motorists will do
Some of them deliberately tantalize us by driv-
ing up to crossing at full speed in sight of
an approaching train and then, just as a crash
seems unavoidable and the engineer is put
ting on the brakes for all he is worth, the
motorist comes to a sudden stop and laughs.
He thinks he has done something smart, but
it sure shortens the life of the engineer
"Other motorists approach more slowly,
then speed up just before they reach the
crossing in an effort to beat the train. These
are the ones usually involved in crossing
crashes"
The fool driver who leases the engineer for
the sake of laughing at him almost deserves
to be killed. Nevertheless engineers are not
killers. They do everything in their power to
prevent accidents An equal amount of eau
tion and reliability on the part of the motor
ing public would go long way toward climb
mating crossing tragedies.

Views of Others
LONDON AND CHICAGO.

In England, today, if one commits
murder, the chances are 10 to i that
he will be hanged.
In the city of Chicago, the first half
of the current year, there were some
100 murders and only two hangings.
In other words, in sharp contrast
to the. odds quoted at London, it is
about 60 to 1 in Chicago that the per-
son who commits murder does not
hang.
Judge Marcus Kavanagh, whose
name one strikes frequently in Chi
cago paper references to the juris-
prudence of that city, has been at
tending a prison conference "fat Lon
don, and making study of British
methods in the conduct of criminal,
especially murder, cases.
In a letter home, Judge Kavanagh
recites what he is fain to believe a
fairly typical case of the administra-
ton of British justice. A young Eng
lishman of some social prominence
murered a butler. He was arrested
the day after the tragedy was placed
on trial within the week, was con-
demned to death after trial which
lasted two hours-not days, or
months-and was executed after an
interval strikingly brief.
When one contrasts this English
case with recent murder cases at Chi
cago, even in those of confessed MUIR
derers, as witness the Russell Scott
and the Leopold-Loeb cases, is it any
wonder that murders are SO rare in
London and daily occurrence in
Chicago?

LIBERTY.

Mussolini is of the opinion that
"liberty" is a back number. If he
means the liberty to drive on either
side of the street, or to keep pigs in
town, doubtless he is right. Certain
individualisms that are natural where
men dwell far apart become impossi-
bic or intolerable where they live close
together. And many things can be
left to themselves in simple So
ciety which have to be regulated in
a complex one.
But if he means the democratic
right of free people to determine for
themselves to what government they
will submit, and what laws they will
have, he is badly mistaken. The
world has not yet outgrown the
democrotic ideal, even if it is still far
short of realizing it.

Belgian Debt Plan Pleases.

Everybody properly rejoices at the
settlement of the Belgian debt.
If the Belgians pay only in small
part, so long as it is what they can
properly pay, nobody should object.
The most interesting thing is the jug
Cling of figures which politics makes
necessary.
Of course, the BeIgians do not pay
their debt ain full" as to either prin-
cipal or interest. 1t is quite proper
that they should not.
But it seems to be necessary to
clothe the settlements with words and
figures which will make it seem that,
on some terms, they have paid "in
full"
The payments will repay US per-
haps half the interest we are paying
on the same money to those from
whom we borrowed it, leaving less
than nothing on the principal which
we shall also repay. On the rest, we
shall get most of the interest, but
nothing on the principal.
Payments" will be made, but "the
debt" will not be paid. Which is quite
as it should be.

ROWeIt Says
BY CHESTER H. RowELL.

Evidently, woman is never to have
her chance to be the equal of man.
She must, perforce, be his superior.
Once she was his ostensible super
Tor, by chivalry; now she has to be his
actual superior, by necessity. Schools
and colleges are making. her, on the
average, the better educated. She has
to live up to that.
And now modern improvements are
depriving her of common labor, leav-
ing her the choice of uncommon labor
or the stagnation of loafng. Even
home cooking is threatened by estab-
lishments offering to deliver cooked
food, hot and ready to serve, on tele-
phone order.
The common man, with no imagina-
ton, can still get common job, with
no inspiration in it. So he pIods his
way through life, uninterested, but
busy and useful. u,
Except for equally dull labor OUT
side the house, there will soon be no
similar opening for the woman of no
imagination. She will have to do
something higher, or nothing. She
will have to be superior to most men
or she will have nowhere to go.

HOW TO LIVE TO A RIPE OLD AGE

The Judge told man who had sought di-
vorce from his spouse but who now wanted the
original action cancelled that the best way to
be happy and live to ripe old age was to kiss
his wife every morning when he left for work,
and avoid accidents If he drove car and
kept his eyes land kissed his wife every
morning, the judge promised that neither of
the parties would ever appear before him
again for divorce.
Now there is world of philosophy in that
little homily. The man that awakes in the
morning with a smile, has breakfast, chats
over the morning paper and the cup of coffee,
then kisses his wife before he goes to the Of
flee, has half of the day started right The
other half will take care of itself Of course
there are lots of things--lttle ones and big
ones--that interfere and sometimes make it
hard to do all these things. Perhaps your
alarm clock stopped, or maybe you didn't get
to bed until late that night before, or perhaps
Ia hundred and one other things. But we'll
venture to say with the Kenosha Judge that
even forced smile and even forced kiss will
melt the ice.
A bulletin issued by the National Safety
council stresses particularly the element which
happy frame of mind plays in the days work
Domestic tranquility and other kinds of tran
guilty are called responsible for much of the
good cheer that starts from the wife's kiss in
the morning. Domestic difficulties contribute
largely to accidents the bulletin says. So you
see one can even say that quarrel between
a man and his wife may cause enough worry
to cause enough accidents to mount the casual
ty list.
"The husband who leaves the house with
bad taste in his mouth result of quarrel
with friend wife, is likely to be brooding about
the domestic scene instead of watching his
step" the warning continues Hence the
chances are greater that he will be hit by an
automobile en- route to the shop or office in
work or struck by trolley car
out returning to his home for
instead of watching the
oughfare."

( THE RUM DEATHS.

Daniel Russell, sociologist, tells Chicago
audience that the deaths from alcohol poison
ing the last two years, about which much fuss
has been made, are really nothing to get ex-
cited about"
Not that the deaths are not deplorable; but
they are no more so than usual. Study of the
records of Cook county, he says, where the
bootleg liquor traffic has been regarded as
especially deadly, show no more victims dying
of alcoholism than there were before the days
of prohibition. Moreover, he adds, the alco-
holic fatalities recently have been mostly
IdowR-and-out hoboes," rather than persons of
importance and value to the community.
According to this statement, a lot of cur
rent notions about the extent and menace of
the present liquor evil need revising, and the
nti-prohibitionists lose a favorite argument.

Augusta Man in
Zone of Total ECLIPSE

Milton q. Dean of this city was
one OF the fortunate ones who were
able to see the total eclipse. Mr.,
Dean, who was on a business trip
to Boston, as is his custom when
there, passed Friday night at his
old home in Taunton, Mass. On Sat-
urday morning nearly the entire
town was going to New Bedford,
about 20 miles away, to see the
eclipse, SO he went there also,
He speaks of the eclipse as lin
describable," The total eclipse at
that point was about 45 seconds in
duration and 1t was not until the sun
had entirely disappeared that the
corona cuddenly burst forth in all
it's gradeus. Mr.. Dean likens the
outer edge of the corona 10 the
northern lights, although it did not
appear and disappear as do the
northern lights. Nearer the sun the
corona is of many colors and the
entire phenomena is wonderful to
behold.
The stars were plainly visible as
the darkness was about that of
moonlight night and Venus, Jupiter
and Mercury could be seen near the
sun. The shadow bands, which could
be seen here, were especially notice.
able there and before the period of
totally Ntffey We're apparently going
in one direction while afterward they
were going in the opposite direction.
Mr.. Dean declared that the sight
was well worth going to see and
that the trains were crowded with
people going into the path of the
total eclipse to see this unusual sight.
