A great national phalanx Of pre-

American Red Cross to grapple with

Thus the organization, in its annual

over the country. The report, made
public today. and covering the fiscal
year ending last June 30, added:
RED Cross chapters generally
have been increasingly vigorous in
perfecting strong, alert disaster re-

During the fiscal year the Red

The year was the first since the World

For disaster relief in the United
States the organization spent $751;

Protection for Killers.
From the Ann Arbor Tsmes-News.

From the Ann Arbor Times-News.
1t Is difficult to understand the prin-
ciple back of the Italian supreme
courts decision to the effect that a
naturalized citizen could not be extra
5ited for a crime committed in an
adopted country.
Michael Sogliano became an Ameri-
can citizen at Rochester, Pa, in 1925.
Accused of murder, he fed to his ma
tive land, and when arrested re-
nounced his United States citizenship.
The supreme court Of Italy no
doubt knows its business, but it seems
strange for a civilized country to
adopt a policy Of shielding murderers.
Had the law that was violated been
the Volstead act or some other purely
American law, it would not have been
surprising to fail in an effort at ex-
tradition. But there is a universal
law against murder, and to have a
suspected killer at large in any coun-
try, protected instead Of restrained
by law, would not seem, offhand, to
be a pleasant prospect.
BY making that decision the su-
preme court has practically invited
criminals from other countries to seek
refuge there. OF course, law Is law,
and the Italian supreme court has
merely interpreted 1t, but in time, if
this Sogliano case Is accepted as a
precedent or an invitation to evil.

Making Hay in Georgia.
From the Atlanta journal.

From tho Atlanta Journal.
In smiling valley of the good old
county Of Butts lives a man who not
only makes hay while the sun shines,
but also tops the Georgia record in
that thrifty pursuit. His achievement
is thus reported by the Franklin News
and Banner:
''Forty-three tons of hay. valued
at $3.50, was made by w. A. White of
Stark, a prominent farmer, on eight
acres. The land was seeded last Fall
with five bushels of wheat and rs
bushels Of oats. Vetch at the rate
Of 80 pounds per acre was planted.
In 1925 the land had an application
Of 1900 pounds Of fertilizer under cot
ton; owing to the drought the fer
tilizer was not consumed. Nitrate of
soda at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre was applied to the mixture. The
yield Of 172, two-horse wagon loads,
estimated at 500 pounds load, or
more that $4,000 pounds, is believed

To this maker of prosperity and
builder for happier commonwealth.

Street Lights.

Washingtonians are especially graf
flied that the work Of undermining
the street lighting system is being
pushed steadily ahead. With S240, 900
worth of new equipment either or
dered or planned, the early Autumn
and Winter should find the National
Capital in a much better position in
regard to street illumination than at
any time in the past. The new lights
will be the same as those now in
stalled on Connecticut avenue and
Sixteenth street. With the high poles
and brilliant, carefully directed beams
which give no glare but a maximum
Of light, the new system has proved
an unqualified success. These lamps
furnishing five times as much illumi-
nation at only two and one-half times
the cost of the old lights, engineers
believe that an ideal system is being
gradually installed in Washington.
The District has long been notorious
for it's poorly lighted streets. Con-
gress for years failed to realize the
necessity for a complete revision of
the system. Within the past few
years, however, appropriations have
been increasingly generous to permit
the beginning Of a steady onward
march of modernization. This march
is now In full swing. Inadequate
lights are being removed to make
room for the type of illumination
which is best fitted to serve the needs
of city of half-million population.
So poor has the lighting been in the
past, and as matter of fact is still
in many parts of the District, that
the traffic office deemed it imperative
that headlights be kept burning
brightly on automobiles to avoid acct
dents. This regulation is unique in
American cities It adds the hazards
