Charles I. Corby.

Charles 1. Corby's death in Florida
shocks Washington, for there was no
thought of illness, no warning of an
end of this useful life. Mr.. Corby
had been resident of this city for
thirty-fi years, coming here at the
age Of twenty to join his brother in
the establishment Of a business that
through their enterprise became ere
of the largest Industrial establish
ments of this city. With the advance
of prosperity Mr.. Corby became help
fully active in civic matters. He was
proud of his adopted city, always
ready to aid in good works, and con,
trihuted richly to them, with services
and with gifts. His personal quail
ties We're such as to endear him to a
host of friends. Practically retiring
from active business through CO.
alition which relieved him of RESPONSE
bilitieS. Mr.. Corby, it was hoped
would live many years to enjoy the
fruits of his thrift and business acu-
men, but death has come untimely
and with startling suddenness and he
has thus passed, to the great sorrow
of all who knew him and who held
him in high respect and sincere af-
lection.

for the present generation as pre-
1t may have its own problems. The
last generation did not do much for
us In the conservation of cordwcod,
terrapin, shad. wild turkey and
other precious products. 1t may be
that the future generation will not
be interested in such old fashioned
things as automobiles. but will run
sky chariots with alcohol or oxygen,
or with electricity taken from the
clouds. The future generation may
think of oil-burning furnaces as we
think of fireplaces and a woodpile
outside the kitchen door Perhaps
ings with warmth pumped from the
sun or with electricity made bv the
winds. tides OF he rivers and waves
of the sea.
1t is interesting to hear experts
tell of the forthcoming exhaustion of
the American oil supply and it would
tie well If we could find and practice
some plan of economy. We are USING
more and moro oil each year. One
automobile engineer said at the meet
ing of the oil committee that one
way of saving in the use of petroleum
would be TO increase by 20 to 40 per
cent the efficiency of gasoline in pro-
pelling an automobile. That would
be conservation OF oil resources which
would meet the approval of all auto
drivers. If the price We're not ad-
varCed from 90 to 40 per cent or
from 40 to so per cent the automo-
bile could make more trips to the
Catoctins. the Blue Ridge. Valley of
Virginia and the lower Potomac
country than it makes now.

Tia Juana Must Act.

Mexican justice should be swift and
sure in the punishment of those
guilty in the Tia Juana outrage
against the Thomas Peteet family
of San Diego. Calf On a pleasure
trip to this notorious resort, the
Peteets, father and mother and two
daughters. stopped in one of the nu-
merous saloons which line the streets
of the town over the border" Intro
duced to the chief of police and some
of his cohorts the two girls We're
drugged and outraged. Mr.. Peteet.
hearted family. drove back to San
Diego, herded them all in one room
shut the doors and windows and
turned on tbs gas, snuffing out their
lives as web as his own, because the
she me was 100 much to endure"
Seven men, including the chief of
police, the bartender in the saloon
and taxi drivers. have been arrested
and will be charged with murder
Besides holding the men accounta BILE
for the death of the family in San
Diego, they are also charged with
having attacked the girls
This is not the first time that the
dives" of Tia Juana and other Mex
lean border towns have been the
scenes of shocking and disgusting
crimes. Tia Juana has long been
noted as wide open town" 1t is
unfortunately this reputation and the
racing that has led many Americans
to take the short trip from San Diego
to look it over"
In the latest outrage the official
who most of all is expected to pro-
tect the welfare of visitors 20 Tia
Juana is directly involved in all of
Its hideous aspects, and as long as
this condition exists there is little
hope that reform will be effected,
although President Gales and other
Mexican authorities have been loud
ly proclaiming their desire for a
Cleanup"
America will closely watch the de-
velopments of this case. 1t will not
tolerate such conditions SO near its
boundary, even if the customs office
must throw drastic restrictions
around the daily American vista
ton to the resort. If a cleanup does
not appeal to Tia Juana on the
grounds of morality and decency, it
may have some effect if American
patronage, on which the town is al
most wholly dependent for its live
lihood, is abruptly checked.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

Arlington naval station, NAA, broke
in at 9:55 o'clock with its nocturnal
time signals. Six minutes later, when
the Secretary Of Commerce was sound
ing the praises of the Great Emanci-
pator. NAA was bulletining its thrill
ing story of temperature, cloudiness
and rains on the various seacoasts
of the land. The irony of the situa-
ton, for both Jardine and Hoover,
lay in the fact that the Weather Blu
reau is under the formers jurisdic-
ton, while all radio comes within the
latter's sway. NAA is obviously no
respecter Of persons.

'NVherefores of Borah" is the title
of a fascinating preachment just off
the press in Washington. 1t is an
analysis of the character Of the CO.
lossus of Congress by an anonymous
newspaper correspondent. While high
ly commendatory of the Idahoan for
the most part, the pamphlet handles
him without kid gloves in certain
connections in which the author holds
him to be vulnerable. He sometimes
starts things which he does not fin
ish,' says Borah's unnamed Boswell.
He raised a loud cry against the
recent treaty with Cuba, by which
Other Senators, under the influence
of Borah's cry, came forward and
fought the treaty. Borah Jagged. He
more or less vanished. He did not
come through with a big, firm fight
against that treaty. Similarly, Borah
can make engagements to be some-
where and then not keep them. He
can forget them. He can change his
mind about them"
NJ. Stephane Lauzanne, editor of
lie Matin, Paris, who was in Wash
ington with the Caillaux debt mission
last Autumn, is telling the inside
story of it's failure in the French
press. AS all the world, more or less,
knows, CaillauX charged the failure
to the indiscretions of NJ. Dumay, the
Partisan Socialist editor VINO was the
missions spokesman. Aboard the
liner Paris, while the CaillauX party
was en- route to France, Lauzanne
tells of a moving picture performance
one evening in midocean. A news
reel" was screened which happened
to show NJ. Dumay in the foreground
outside Of the French embassy. Turn
that off, exclaimed the irate Caillaux.
And off "it" came.
Margaret Lindsay Sutherland, q
year-old daughter of former Senator
Howard N. and Mrs. Sutherland of
West Virginia-a Washington de.
butante Of a couple of seasons ago
has been awarded first prize in a
New York magazines student
worker contest" The prize was to
be bestowed upon the American col
lege man or woman who produced
the most enthralling narrative of an
actual vacation-time experience in
industrial employment. Miss Suther-
land. who is now an undergraduate
Of Antioch College, Ohio. spent two
| months at work in a Chicago jam
factory. Her essay, which bristles
with human interest, was crowned
winner of the $125 reward. 1t is
called "a Student Factory Hand"
Miss Sutherland's particular Job was
to ladle jam into bottles. Her wages
were $13 week for nine and one-half
hours work a day.

Rockefeller's Gift to Egypt.

John D. Rockefeller. jr., has offered
$1o,o00.O 900 to the Egyptian govern
ment to establish a great museum
and archaeological institute at Cairo.
Details of the offer are not forth
coming. Indeed it has not yet been
accepted. King F'uad has withheld
his acknowledgment pending defini-
ton of the terms Of the gift. The
Egyptian nationalists desire that the
institution at Cairo should be directly
and wholly under the control of the
Egyptian government. Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter wishes to maintain it under the
direction of a board of American sci
entists. 1t is said that representa-
tive of King Fuad is now on his way
to this country, and the belief is ex.
pressed that after conference here
with the donor the matter will be
adjusted satisfactorily to both sides.
The present prospect is that the in
stitution, if established, will be under
a control independent of the govern
ment.
This munificent gift in the interest
of science and history is somewhat
remarkable in view of the fact that
Mr.. Rockefeller has never been in
Egypt. The Carnarvon-Carter dis
coveries in the Valley of the Kings
aroused his interest keenly and he
has since followed the disclosures and
developments of that great work in
detail. He feels that there is urgent
need Of an establishment at Cairo
which will effectively preserve and
display to all mankind the relics of
the past which have already been
unearthed and which may through
future explorations be brought to
light. It is understood that a part
OF the gift now rendered to Egypt
will be used to promote researches
under the auspices of the most ef'
ficient and careful investigators.

| The desire Of pleasing is at least
half the art Of doing it. II you are
lazy, careless and Indifferent whether
you please or not, depend upon 1t you
never will please.
| The knowledge of the world Is only
to be acquired in the world. and not In
q closet.
Books alone will never teach it
you; but they will suggest many
things to your observation when
might otherwise escape you.
Without the desire and pains neces-
sary to be considerable, depend upon
1t. you never can be so; as, without
the desire and attention necessary to
please. you never can please.
| Take great care always to be
dressed like the reasonable people of
your own age. in the place where you
are; whose dress is never spoken of
one way or another, as either too
| negligent or too much studied.
There is nothing that people bear
| more impatiently. or forgive less, than
contempt; and an injury is much
sooner forgiven than an insult.
Many young people adopt pleasures
| for which they have not the least
| taste, only because they are called by
| that name.
Were l to begin the world again,

Endeavor, as much as you can, to

For my own part, l used to think

when I was with Mr.. Addison and Mr..

Whether the Russian Soviet govern
nlent trades the royal jewels of the
ears for tractors or uses them to pay
repudiated debts, the American press
thinks the time indeed has come, in
the words of the San Francisco Bulle-
tin, TO .hock the family jewels or
sell them. The treasury is said to
be empty" the bulletin explains.
short term obligations are falling due
with the appalling punctuallty such
things have, the country is poor, the.
Red army has to eat, the paper money
is deprived of a large part of its re-
serves through exports of gold, the
government already owes a lot on
tractors and needs a. foreign loan.
A suggestion of action which should
appeal particularly to those interested
in Russian trade is seen by the Miami
Daily News in the proposal to dis
pose of the jewels and to turn the pro-
ceeds into American machinery and
supplies. THE question has been
raised in the past of the right of
Russia. to dispose of these jewels,
says the News. but. in the face of
actual facts and conditions, that be-
comes academic. If the Russian gov
ernment has jewels and works of art
of great commercial value, of course
she can sell them
The Waterbury Republican believes
that 'the desire to turn the vast col
lection into productive agricultural
machinery will meet with the SYM
pathy of Americans, despite some nat
ural regret at the dispersion of a
treasure that appeals SO strongly to
the spirit of romance" because it is
economically and ethically right to
restore the wealth to the people in the
form of machinery"

Romance, history, craftsmanship,
the valor of great minds and the

Post Dispatch observes, ''are all woven

manoff. There will never again be

Tomorrow's Coal Peace Meeting.

Tomorrow at Scranton meeting
will be held by the members of the
mine union to consider the agreement
entered into last Friday between the
union leaders and the cperators at
Philadelphia whereby the strike OF
five and a half moEths Is to be ended
and production is to be resumed.
There is confident expectation that
the agreement will be ratified, al
though following the first display Of
enthusiasm over the prospect OF an
early return to work there is evident
a disposition to question the value
of the terms that have been gained
by the workers. President Lewis of
the United Mine Workers, who will
attend, will be put to some question
ing. Perhaps an effort will be made
to elicit the fact regarding a report
ed "gentlemen's agreement" to the
effect that the check-off is to be
granted under the efficiency and reci
procity" clause of the peace treaty.
While there have been rnurmurings
Of dissent on the score that the agree
ment does not yield anything of value
to the miners, Rinaldo Cappelini. the
president Of the first district local"
halls the settlement as a triumph.
He says that it is "one OF the great
est victories in the history Of organ
ized labor" Thereby Mr.. Cappelini
qualities as one of the worlds fore
most optimists. Nobody begrudges
him his reaction Of satisfaction over
the outcome of the long struggle. If
he Is satisfied. surely all should be.
A clergyman of the hard coal re-
gion, however, seems to analyze the
matter a bit more clearly. He says:
THE miners have gained nothing but
the satisfaction Of five years contin-
uous work; the community has gained
five years of security. All this coull
just as well have been obtained five
months ago.
The great coal-burning public. which
pays the bills, feels that this strike
will have been total failure if it
does not point the way surely to a
means of settling disputes between
miners and operators without the sus-
pension of production. 1t now asks:
VIII the loss of nearly half a year
In wages, without any compensattng
advantage gained, teach the miners
the lesson of demanding wise leader
ship? viii it make them more con-
servative in the future when the time
comes to renew the contract just
arranged? VIII they make good use
of the four and a half years of peace
by securing a form of representation
that will keep them out of trouble
while securing for them the best
terms obtainable without loss?
Tomorrow's meeting at Scranton
may provide some lively incidents, in
which the public will be interested
only respecting the light it will throw
upon these questions, which bear
upon the welfare of the coal con.
sumers of half a decade hence.
