THIS ENLIGHTENED AGE

A great meeting for law and order"
has been held by the Citizens Serv-
ice Association" in Washington, d. c.,
from which Mr.. Coolidge has just fled
to find cooler and perhaps less hec-
tic atmosphere.
This great meeting for claw and
order" was called by an organization
of citizens formed apparently by a
professional organizer to help author
tiles enforce the Volstead act.
As originally contemplated, this
organization was to become a great
net of professional snoopers, at least
one to every city block, SO that every
neighbor's windows might be watched
for signs of private imbibing
What a spectacle it all is! All the
piety of the country seems to concen-
trate upon enforcing the Volstead act.
Not upon preventing such massive
raids as those upon Teapot Dome and
Elk Hills, not against such travesties
as the Sacco-V -Vanzetti case, but upon
the Volstead act.
A majority of citizens seem bent
upon one of two great detectives; the
one being to get for himself as many
as possible of his neighbor's drinks,
the other to get his neighbor in jail
if he has any drinks. Truly this is an
and progressive age!

Contradictions frequently fall down
when applied to individual cases. But
not always. Albert Briggs was
charged with violating the Volstead
act. One Maj. August Heise, assist
ant prohibition commissioner for the
New York district, thought Briggs
wasn't coming through" with all he
knew.
Maj. Heise admitted afterward that
he had ordered his men to bind
Briggs hands and feet and then tie
a towel around his head. Speaking of
Briggs, Heise said: II told him that
if he did not tell the truth l would
twist it."
Maj. Heise said this was Chinese
method of torture. Whatever it was,
it was torture-the third degree, hat

Alleged prohibition is bringing
more and more of this kind of dirty
business, and more and more corrup-

like the Volstead act are pretty sure
to yield the Heise kind of results.
Unlike most generalizations, this one
holds up.

Officials of some international
unions are considering a change in the
whole method of conducting organiz-
ing work. They say: Why should we
expect to get members when we tell
them what scoundrels we think they
are for being outside our organiza-
ton?
They add: Why not tell them about
the benefits Of trade unionism in
stead-why not give them the argu-
ment for being inside instead of
roasting them for being outside?
These officials contemplate what
might be called "sales literature. .
which means literature explaining
trade unionism and it's benefits. They

BRITISH SHACKLE REACTS

There is little doubt that British
stand patters" have gone too far in
their efforts to shackle labor by the
anti-union BILL The bill is provoking
a reaction in favor of the workers,
even in quarters not over-friendly to
them. Intended largely to weaken the
workers political movement, there is
evidence that the bill has strength
ened it, so that many observers are
predicting that if general election
is held in the near future the labor
party will make big gains, if not
actually sweep the country.
Great meetings of British workers
to protest against the bill show that
labor's fighting spirit is still on the
Job. Everything indicates that the
British workers are not going to meek
ly accept WhaC Cne present CoTy gov
ernment is seeking to force on them;
they are going to put up fight that
will give the reactionaries the battle
Of their lives In this fight the Brit
ish workers have the support and
sympathy of all far-seeing workers in
the United States, who feel that a
victory for reaction in Great Britain
will hearten the reactionaries here
and embolden them in their assaults
on organized labor and its standards.

PROBLEM OF DISTRIBUTION

PROBLEM OF DISTRIBUTION
For many years the manufacturing
interests of our land have been en-
gagged in developing an industrial sit
uation which is attracting the atten-
tion of the peoples throughout the
world. American enterprise and
American initiative have practically
revolutionized our manufacturing pro-
cesses. The efficiency of the Ameri-
can workers has been increased in an
amazing way during the last two dec
AIDES. We are now equipped to manu-
facture in greater volume than ever
before. The problem of production
through the use of mechanical devices
has been practically solved We are
now graphing with the more difficult
problem of distribution.
The correct way by which this prob
lem of distribution can be solved is
through frank, sincere andd honest
dealing between employers and en-
ployes. The earnings of industry
must be equitably distributed. If the
employers and stockholders of manu-
featuring enterprises appropriate to
themselves, in the form of dividends
and earnings, all the profits of their
enterprise, without alloting to their
employees a fair share of the returns
of their joint efforts, industry will
ultimately suffer because of impair
ment which such process will inflict
| upon the market for their production.
| The whole economical system is so
delicately arranged and there is such
an interdependence of interests that
any violation of the rules of fair play
and Justice disturbs most seriously the
| factors of production and consump-
ton. Human selfshness must be con-
sidered and human weakness must be
reckoned with There will always be
a strong difference of opinion between
employers and employees with refer
ence to fair and just distribution of
the earnings of industry, but if the
problem is considered in the spirit of
tolerance and frankness, with full
regard for the rights of all concern
ed, we will solve the problem of dis
ltribution as we have solved the prob-
lem of production. The problem
ought to be simple and easy of solu-
ton. We shall create a condition in
industry where the producing capacity
of the workers would be balanced
with their consuming power.

ANTE-EREEZ[
BY AUSTIN N. MnLF.

OF the society OF AutOmOtlve Engineers
Practically all cars ere turned out
today with pyroxylin finish. This
fact should be- remembered when
pouring cold water solutions into
the radiator, as well an the posi-
bility of fumes escaping later In
operation from the radiator.
Glycerine is preferable to alcohol
for an anti.freeze solution, as it
can be wiped off without injury to
the finish. should any be spilled
upon 1t. Alcohol is q solvent for
pyroxylin and viii mar the finish il
spilled. or boiled off later as might
occur on relatively warm day.
Alcohol boils off at temperature
considerably under the boiling point
of water, whereas glycerine raises
the boiling point of the solution
higher than that Of water. Over
heating viii not occur with the lat
ter.
In some climates or seasons, the
day might be quite warm followed
by considerable drop in tempera.
ture at night. Under such circuin.
stances, an alcohol solution will
suffer considerable loss and il the
radiator is not refilled to replace
the lost alcohol. a cracked cylinder
might result overnight. The high
boiling point Of the glycerine soiu-
ton prevents any such evaporation
loss during the day. and the conse.
quent harm.
1t is this property Of glycerine
that makes It unnecessary to re-
plenish any OF 1t throughout the
cold-weather season. assuming the
hose clamps and other engine parts
are frightened, so that there can be
no less due to leakage. 1t does not
boil off and there are no fumes.
Since glycerine will last the whole
season, the motolist is relieved Of
the worry and uncertainty OF the
evaporation DOGGY. The solution.
can be drained off at the end of the
season and saved for future use.
Radiator glyceriIie should not be
confused with straight glycerine, as
they are not identical in specific
gravity. The former is the more
practical solution and has the widest
sales distribution. The following
table shows the proportion to use
for various minimum temperatures

overlook altogether the advantage
of attaching one Of these devices.
Engineers recommend keeping the
engine at just below a temperature
which would make the cooling sys-
tom boil. Cars should be kept
IN heated garages in the cooler
seasons Of the year, and the en-.
CINE should be warmed up before 1t
is gotten under way. It follows
from these recommendation that,
IT, a car is used day and night,
day after day, as in the case OF
an intensive test. the engine will
be kept pretty well at maximum
temperature. and will have much
less opportunity to wear out.
Translating this situation with
respect to the engine to that OF
the rest Of the car, here Is a
possibility that constant use Is bet.

reason why ring gear does not
wear out so quickly when q test

long period Of time is because the

hours and il used only when it

<SOAtIAuCQ lEUIIk \ age OUG Early in the World War when this country was a neutral, Ambassador Francis had conducted relief work among the German and Austrian pri- soners in Russia. Late in 1926, when the United States was representing both the German and Austrian inter- ests in Russia, Ambassador Francis delivered a German peace proposal to the Russian government.
 When the German army was ap- preaching eight miles of Petrograd MT. Francis and his staff left that capital and went to Vologda where he remained for a time Later he proceeded to Archangel and maintain ed relations with a new Russian gov ernment there. The Ambassador left Archangel in October, 1918, for Lon don, to undergo a minor operation.
 He was summoned from London toI a conference with Secretary of State Lansing then attending the Peace Conference in Paris to discuss Rus sian problems While there, he de- clared that the majority of the Rus sian people were loyal to the Entente.
 Born October i, 1850, in Richmond, Ky, MT. Francis went to St. Louis in 1866 He was graduated from Wash ington University, in 1870. The hon. orary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on him by three universi- ties Starting his career as a clerk he later became president of a grain merchants corporation. He was elect ed mayor of St. Louis in 1885 on the Democratic ticket Tn 1889 he was elected governor of the State of Miss ouri, and President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company which conducted the Worlds Fair at St. Louis. Tn 1905 he was sent to Europe by the Worlds Fair directors to thank kings, emperors and other rulers for their part in making the exposition a success. For his work in conducting the fair he was decorated by the em- peror of Germany and Austria and the Queen of the Netherlands.
 MT. Francis was the owner of the St Louis Republic which suspend ed publication in December, 1919, hav- ing been purchased by the St. Louis GIobe-D Democrat. In 1876 he married Miss Jane Perry, daughter of John D. Perry, of St. Louis. They had six sons.

 Three dreadnaughts, the Utah, the Wyoming, and the New York which in their days have consumed un- known quantities of coal, remain to be modernized. They will have a new set of innards-namely, oil-burn- ing furnaces to place them on a par with other first-rate ships of the fleets.
