Sidestepping Farm Relief

Representative John O. Tilson of Connecticut, Re-
publican leader in the House, in formal statement
advocates devoting the proposed special session of
congress to revision of the tariff. He would have
farm relief legislation for which the special session
originally was suggested enacted by the regular ses-
sion, beginning next week.
TilSon said he speaks for himself but conferences
have been going among House leaders, and other
influential members are said to agree with his views.
There can be no quarrel with the desire to have
the seven-year-old farm problem acted upon as
speedily as possible President-Elect Hoover prom
sed this as a candidate, and so did other spokesman
for the Republican party.
Tilson however, wants farm relief legislation
adopted piecemeal during the three-month session,
which will be crowded with appropriation bills and
other matters. He believes "a number of different
phases possibly might be dealt with to advantage in
separate bills concevably coming from different
mittees."
The tariff is different, TiSon believes 1t must be
considered as whole and he apparently contemplates
a complete overhauling of the tariff structure.
How Tilson would carry out the farm relief pledges
of his party through this piecemeal legislation is not
clear Farmers promised that federal farm
board would be established aid in the creation and
operation of cooperative organizations which in turn
would own sterilization corporations to buy and sell
commodities to insure orderly marketing and the
maintenance of prices.
These Sterilization corporations to be given
a start through borrowing federal funds for which
purpose three or four hundred million dollars was to
be appropriated
The sterilization corporation idea was evolved to
replace the Objectionable equalization fee
The danger of Tison's program is that the pro-
posed comprehensive program of farm relief legiSa-
ton will be shunted aside in favor of general up
ward revision of the tariff.
This would please certain powerful interests which
are beneiciaries of high tariffs, but it would be an
inexcusabe betrayal of the farmers.

Dangerous PaCifiStS

Those of us who have and believe
in the possibility of reducing war
are graphing with the biggest ideal
ever conceived by the human mind.
1t is not only big ideal, but COM
paratively new.
1t strikes at the bedrock Of tradi-
tons, beliefs and conceptions that
are as old as consciousness.
1t has infatuated people to such
an exent that they have become
intoxicated with its possibilities.
They not only expect it to take
practical form over night, but they
visualize it's attainment as present.
ing no greater obstacle than the
scrapping of so much war equip
ment, refusing to concede that some
one might resist for one reason or
another, and that such a condition
would leave its opponents powerleSS.
The so-called paciflst elements of
the world are contributing much to
block intelligent efforts for peace.
The preposterous program they
offer only alarms sensible people.
Statesmen and students shudder
at the absurd statements to which
they would go if given the oppor-
tunity.

Armed Reign of Law

At present the world consists OF
family of fifty-five nations.
They are not only independent po-
litically, but are handicapped by
racial, religious and economic diff
ferences of a profound character.
They have been trained to the
thought that complete sovereignty is
their right, and that an ability to
preserve it by force is their saliva
ton.
The fact that they have reached
point where they are willing to
concede a reign of law" as possible,
that the majority of them have eS-
tablished league of nations, Joined
world court and appear willing to
sign treaty outlawing war con-
stitutes change of attitude as nc
seer would have had the hardihood
to predict 100 years ago.
Eventually, they may reach a
point where they are ready to create
an international force to guarantee
the mandates and carry out the de-
cisions of these tribunals, but until
then there is nothing to depend
upon except their voluntary efforts.
In other words, the very peace
structure we are attempting to de-
velop has nothing to insure it, ex-
cept the armed assistance of those
nations which believe in it and which
could render it effective assistance
in case of emergency.

Peace and Defense

There is nothing irreconcilaole
between an agreement TO ouVla"
war and an adequate national oe-
tense.
with well-armed nations to back
it I'D. such an agreement is far more
likely to succeed.
When it comes to developing a
reign of international order, we are
in about the same position as the
western pioneers were fifty years
ago. except that we have no estao-
lishment back home" by which 10
be guided.
They did not disarm when they
set up village and town govern
ments. On the contrary, they pro-
vided themselves with a new and
more up-to-date supply OF artillery.
More than that they used it.
If it had not been for the two
gun sheriff, the vigilantes commit
tees. the volunteer policemen and
the handwriting posses, who used
force whenever and wherever it was
needed, it would have taken much
longer to bring order out of chaos.
Human experience ought to warn
us that dreams never come true by
themselves, that the air castle can
not be made real without sweat,
that plans must be carried out to
mean anything and that more often
than not this requires conflict, as
we'll as labor, especially if they are

TRACY
Disarmament of the CiVi-
liked World at This Time
Would Be the Worst
Thing That Could Hap
pen to the Ideal of Inter
national Peace"

CTATIST1CS gathered by the
y League of Nations show that
while the world talks of disarma-
ment it increases its expenditures
for arms.
At first thought, one is appalled,,
but the situation hardly is so bad,
hypocritical or hopeless as it seems.
The idea of making international
peace and disarmament inseparable
has attained a place in the dis
cussion it does not deserve.
1t would be just as well to admit
that while idealism may be Stimu-
lating in itself, it seldom has been
translated into practical benefit
without more or less force.
For thousands of years we have
pursued the ideal of civil order in
our towns and villages, but we have
not yet arrived at a point where we
can maintain it without cops and
constableS.
The question of whether force Is
good or bad depends on the purpose
for which it is used. The difference
between a bandit and a policeman is
entirely one of attitude toward So
ciety. 80,
To. create armies and navies With
the idea of promoting war is one
thing. but to create them with the
idea of preventing war is quite an
other.

evaporation can be closely confined
with the clothing to be protected.
Does a yellow or gold fringe
around a United States flag have
any special significance? Is IL pre-
scribed by law for certain flags?
For number of years there has
been prescribd in army regulations
knotted fringe of yellow silk on
the national standards of mounted
regiments and of the national colors
of unmounted regiments. The War
Department, however, knows Of no
lawn which either requires or pro-
hibits the placing of a fringe on
the flag Of the United States. No
Act of Congress or executive order
has been found bearing on the
question. In flag manufacture a
fringe is not considered to be a
part Of the flag and it is without
heraldic significance. In the COM
mon use of the word it is fringe
and not a border. Ancient custom
sanctions the use of fringe on the
regimental colors and standards,
but there seems to be no good rea-
son or precedent for its use on
other flags.

The Meanest Gambling

Apparently the police and the courts are unable
to put out of business the most perncious and the
meanest form Of gambling in this city.
In drug stores, hundreds of them, the so-caled
mint-vending machines are installed, and the pro-
prietors of those stores declare that it is just bit OF
amusement for children when they buy package
of candy for a fancy price.
AS matter of fact very few of the stores operate
on such basis and most of them operate these ma
chimes as pure gambling devices.
The police have record of trying to stop these
machines by seizing few of them and treating them
rather roughly when they carried them to the sta
ton as evidence
The courts ever watchful of the constitutional
rights of those who suspected of being in mean
business have declared that before there be any
conviction the police must furnish evidence that the
proprietor of the store exchanges the little slugS that
sometimes come from the machines for money or
merchandise.
In this direction activities were somewhat further
hanpered by the ruling of of the police judges
that if policeman actually such transaction in
a poolroom or other place. his evidence would not be
admitted unless he had armed himself with search
warrant in advance, somewhat unique interpreta-
ton of the constitutional guarantee against search
of homes without warrant
To be perfectly safe the builders Of the machines
obtained temporary injunction against any further
activities on the part of the law enforcing agencies
and the legal restraint rests for days and weeks with
out any decision to whether it justified in law
or not.
These slot machines, may it be suggested offer
more danger than more open and grosser forms of
temptation
Boys have been known to steal from parents and,
perhaps from others in order to satisfy the fascina
Eon that comes from watching the wheels roll round.
Certain it is that they furnish the basis of what
may become very bad habit for any boy, or girl who
later may wonder why they never succeed in life.
AS for the profits, they reported to total ire
mendous sum for the owners and operators. The peo
pie who build them have grown rich in brief time.
The distributor reported to be Of the ancient po
1itcal rulers of the city, is said to have income
ming into something above $500 a day as his share
of the profits.
There is easy way, of course, if the law fails.
If you happen to be a father or mother, and have
objections to this sort of temptation you might firmly
suggest to the druggist grocer that has such
chine that much as you like him and his goods you
like his machine less.
Surely there ought to be way, when law
fails to check and curb temptation as widespread
and as dangerous as this

In 1915 Edison found that the war was shutting
off his supply of benzol from which he was manu-
featuring his synthetic carbolc acid He designed his
own benzol plant and four such plants were erected
The same year Edison turned his attention to the
rubber industry, which being hit by shortage
of certain much chemicals because of the war
He designed plants for the manufacture CT these
chemicals, myrbane, aniline oil and aniline salt.
He also devised plants for supplying certain chemi-
Gals which the fur industry needed
During 1915 he also devised other methods of pro-
ducing synthetic chemicals. That year, presi-
dent of the United States naval consulting board he
worked many problems of national defense.
During 1917 and 1918 Edison worked on problems
for the national defense submitting reports from time
to time to the secretary of the navy. During these
two years he left his plants entirely in charge of
others, giving all his time to war problems.
He worked on forty-two major problems. These
included the location of gun positions by sound
measuring devices, the detection of submarines by
sound methods, problems of camoufaging ships and
underwater searchlgh Stabizers for submarines, and
many devices for improving the efficiency of tor
pedoes and shells and for improving the effectiveness
OF ships and submarines.
After the war he returned to his plants and has
taken out forty patents since the war
During the last two years he has spent much time
the problem of manufacturing rubber from plants
and shrubs which can be grown in the United States

The Solution

The old bridge maxim-"Cover
an honor with an honor"-iS often
heard but not always practiced.
Many situations occur when the
rule should not be followed. But in
this puzzle the author illustrates a
specific variation of the rule which,
except in very rare cases, is in
fallible.
South leads the queen of spades,
North discarding the diamond.
South then leads his diamond, and
North trumps. North next leads
a club, West winning with the ace.
West must now lead a heart, and
he correctly chooses the queen. But
North does not cover, so the queen
holds the trick. The jack is then
led. This time North covers. East
overtakes with the ace, and South
wins the last trick with the ten.
Had North covered Vests first
heart lead, the puzzle would have
been defeated. East would have
won with the ace, returned heart,
and Vests jack and nine would
have permitted a finesse through
South's ten and six, giving East and
West four tricks in all. The author
therefore suggests this: When hold

DR.. S. E. Roberts calls these re-
actions thermic allergy, term
which means that the person cno-

Among the predisposing causes he
mentions superheated apartments or
homes with insufficient humidity,
the chilled air of theater and cafes,
improper clothing, indiscretions of
diet, lack of exercise, improper
bathing and infections.
