The Warmth of the Torch.

DR.. Burdette Ross Buckingham, ma
tional president of the Association of
Torch Clubs, recently addressed the
newly formed and already thriving
Washington chapter of this organiza-
ton of professional men. In his talk
he wisely emphasized the value and
the necessity Of tolerance on the part
of the learned professions and sciences
represented therein one for the other.
Just as Rotary has given leaders in
one line of business a more sympathetic
understanding and an appreciation of
other and hitherto unfamiliar lines Of
commercial endeavor, so will this new
cultural association make for an inter-
change not only of information but
also of perspective. 1t is undoubtedly
true that single-hearted devotion to
certain line of scientific or professional
endeavor is necessary If one is to sue
ceed therein. It is also undoubtedly
true that such devotion tends often to
make for degree of minded
ness, and DR.. Buckingham's advice,
given at the very outset, is worthy of
deep and constant consideration.

this "anti-injunction" bill. That ques-
ton is, has the legislative branch of
the Government the power to restrict
the authority of the judicial branch?
The power of Congress to impeach a
Federal jucge for maladninistration
is clear, but able lawyers are prepared
to argue that Congress cannot abridge
the power Of a judge when 1t is exer-
ciSed without abuse.
Organized labor is anxious to have
the injunctive power of the courts
curbed because 1t Is charged that this
power has been stretched to lengths
never contemplated by the fathers of
the country. InjuncUons, say the labor
leaders, are government by men rather
than government by law. Outstanding
cases of injunctions in labor disputes
have been placed in the committee rec
ords.
In the railroad shopmen's strike Of
1922, nearly 800 injunctions were is
sued by Federal courts. In 1927, more
than 600 injunctions were issued by the
courts in labor disputes. The first
INDUCTION of this character was handed
down in the eighties and since then
their use has grown steadily.
This legislative battle over injunc-
tions is no new thing. There was a
SERIOUS move in this direction in Con-
gress in 1908. But the present effort to
attempt to solve the problem, which
labor claims is annulling the benefits
which the Clayton act sought to be-
stow upon organizations Of workers,
is being pushed with more determine
ton than any of its predecessors, and
the subject was discussed widely during
the recent presidential campaign.

More Wilderness" Areas
Named by Government
From the Canton Daily News.

From the Canton Daily News.
The Government continues to set
aside what it designates as wilderness"
areas. These are tracts distinguished
for their natural beauty and as yet
untouched by the despoiling hand of
man. The natural forest conditions in
these lands should be preserved both for
scientific and recreational purposes. 1t
is this end toward which the Depart
ment of Agriculture is working.
There are already upward of 40 such
tracts in the Rocky Mountain forest
district. Parts of the national forests
of Colorado, Wyoming, Minnesota and
South Dakota are included. Millions Of
acres comprise the reservations.
No motor roads will be built in the
wilderness areas. That means no hot
dog stands. signboards or filling stations
to mar the natural grandeur of the
country. In many cases these wild
spots, preserved in their original state,
will be accessible only afoot or on horse
back. None will penetrate into the
territory except true nature lovers, and
they can be depended upon to respect
the motive which is responsible for the
establishment of the wilderness areas.
These secluded sanctuafies will be
far more virgin than the national parks
with their hotels, motor roads and other
trappings of civilization. The primeval
forests will be protected against the
human touch. The public will be per-
mitted to enjoy them to the utmost,
but commercialization will be banned
1t is difficult to realize the full sig
nificance of the wilderness areas while
the open spaces are still, for those who
care to seek them. fairly plentiful. A
few decades or a generation hence,
with the frontiers of civilization still
spreading, America crowded in the cit
les will bless this thoughtfulness.

Unnecessary Interpretations"

According to a story current in
Washington diplomatic quarters at the
time, Secretary Kellogg described as "a
grandfather complex" the report that
the present Henry Cabot Lodge, bril-
liant young journalist, was opposed to
the anti-war treaty now before the
Senate. Events of the past few hours
suggest that certain members Of the
United States Senate are suffering un-
der a reservation complex" At any
rate, Senator Moses, Republican, of
New Hampshire, and Senator Reed,
Democrat, Of Missouri, who are leading
the fight for interpretations" OF the
Kellogg treaty in the foreign relations
committee, we're pillars Of the pro-
reservation and anti-covenant crusade
which ended in the non-ratification of
the Treaty of Versailles eight years ago.
President Coolidge has lost no time
in taking up the challenge offered by
the resolution for which Senators Moses
and Reed assume joint responsibility
the resolution perhaps does nothing
but voice the opinion of the Senate, 1t
in reality goes beyond the pact itself,
which attempts nothing more than to
renounce war as national policy. The
President holds that the Senate has no
right to interpret the treaty in ad-
vance. In Mr.. Coolidge's view, the
strength of the multilateral agreement
lies in the fact that it leaves the Gov
ernment to decide its course after the
pact is violated. If and when such vio-
lation occurs, the Congress would be
free, under its constitutional preroga-
tive, to take such action as it thought
to be appropriate, including refusal to
20 to war against the offender.
There will be widespread approval of
President Coolidge's belief that any
move to modify the treaty or saddle
reservations upon it would be an un-
friendly step. Every solitary nation

too many homes a sealed book. Its

that is deeper, no joy that is more
compensating than that which proceeds
from molding and shaping the plastic
clay of youth. Angelo never had a
greater thrill from his sculptured
model than we may get from giving
form and fashion to the minds and
hearts of those who constitute the
treasures of our household. No matter
what may come in the after years. no
matter what rude forces may seek to
undo the work we have done, nor, in
deed, what disappointments may seem
to attend it, to know that strong
foundations have been laid gives us
the assurance that in the ultimate
outworking of life's plan, come what
may, character will survive and victory
be registered.
There is an insistent call today for a
return to those old-fashioned, homely
ways that in another generation con-
tributed to the making and strength
ening of character. While mechanical
devices of one kind and another have
rendered our present age swift and col
orful, nothing thus far has been in
vented or conceived to take the place
of high-minded, consecrated fathers and
mothers. The world will go forward
to better things only in so far as the
homes of its people will permit. The

he is old he will not depart from it"

to believe that the machinery Of the
universe skips a beat when a new fos-
sill is uncovered, are scarcely overdrawn
caricatures. Nor are these entirely to
blame. Many aspects of their endeav-
ors, not the least of which is enforced
solitude. tend to produce a serene OBJ
livion of other advances in realms of
thought and accomplishment which to
them are more or less of closed book.
They must of necessity resemble the
engineer with eyes glued to the track
ahead, blind to the adjacent terrain.
The Torch Clubs memberships in
clude college presidents, professors,
clergymen, journalists, lawyers, physi-
clans, archaeologists, geologists, chem
ists--the list is almost endless. They
will meet eight times yearly to dine, to
listen to papers prepared by members,
and later to discuss them. No better
title or emblem than the torch, eX
pressive of the illumination for all of
the entire field of intellectual and sci
entific research, could have been Sc
lected. Washington once enjoyed some
thing similar to these gatherings, with
consequent benefit to the Nation and
even the world. These were the in
formal social gatherings of men of
learning and achievement held at in
tervals by the late Alexander Graham
Bell, at which, as the spirit moved
them, outstanding figures in various
professional specialties arose and in
surprisingly simple and understandable
language edited their fellow guests.
The dining tables and the lounging

light-years-is proffered. That such
interchange of thought is to be TO-
cused in the stated meeting Of a dis
tinct organization in which each spe-
ciality will be thoroughly tolerant OF

represented is a cause of congratula-
ton to every community which pos

Reduced Fire Insurance.

The commendable action of the Un-
derwriters' Association of the District
of Columbia in announcing reduction
in fire insurance rates effective January
/ on new and renewal policies leads to
the hope that further study of the
situation in Washington will make pos
sible even greater reductions in the fu-
ture. For while the underwriters de-
serve praise for taking this step, it must
be considered as only a partial move
in the right direction. More than
year ago the Bureau of Efficiency, re-
porting on its investigation Of fire in
surance rates in the District, found that
there existed an apparent discrimination
against the Capital in fire insurance
rates which, it felt, was far from being
justified by conditions. The bureau con-
cluded that rates here could be re-
duced by one-third. 1t cited figures to
show that for the period from 1921 to
1928 the ratio of losses to premium re-
ceipts for the country at large was 55.6,
but for the District it was 28.1. For
every dollar received as premiums by
companies throughout the United States
44.6 cents were retained for operation
expenses and profits. But in the Dis
trict this figure reached 61.9 cents.
The underwriters have, after their
own investigation, found that rates can
be reduced from thirty-three to sixteen
per cent on dwellings and combination
stores and dwellings. They explain that
when the Underwriters Association was
formed, fourteen years ago, the rates
adopted were based on experience in the
District and other localities and that
no changes could be made with ac-
curacy in these rates without ten-year
test period. For the last four years the
association has been giving its atten-
ton to adjusting schedules, and upon
this study has based its reductions in
rates. Composed, as it is, entirely of
Washington men who have the best
interests of the city at heart, 1t is be-
lieved that the Underwriters Associa-
ton will find it practical to extend the
reduction to other classes of business.
The lowering of rates comes at
time when the city's annual loss from
fire has shown reduction, when the Fire
Department is adding to its equipment
and personnel and when the street.
widening program in the downtown
area has brought about an appreciable
reduction in the congested area fire
hazard. The reduction follows by more
than a year the findings of the Bureau
of Efficiency to the effect that "the
District is a compact municipality, well
developed as to roadways and streets,
served by an adequate water supply
and maintaining an excellent fire fight
ing service. The streets are wider, the
improvements are relatively of high
degree fire-resistant and the fire haz-
ards of use and occupation are very fa-
vorable as compared with other juris-
dictions.''
The Underwriters Association may be
counted upon to go still further to at
tain it's announced objective of reduc-
ing fire waste and the establishment of
just and fair rates, whereby the cost of
fire insurance is equitably distributed
among all classes Of manufacturers,
merchants and private householders.

stands that no signatory government
renounces Its sovereign right to resort
to arms in self-defense. The Monroe
Doctrine, as is known to all the world,
is purely defensive policy as far as
the United States is concerned. 1t has
no other purpose. No foreign office in
any capital was left in doubt on that
score when Secretary Kellogg was nego-
tiating the treaty and the opinion may
be safely risked that none Of them is
laboring under any such misapprehen-
sions now.
The proposed interpretations" of the
anti-war pact should deserve prompt
banishment to the limbo of the nom
essential. As Senator Borah himself has
truly pointed out, it is what is actually
in a treaty that counts. Anything not
literally embodied has no binding force
whatever. Nations are obligated by the
contents of agreements to which they
solemnly subscribe their names. In
terpretations of, and reservations to, a
treaty, unless they are incorporated ver-
batim, are in international law purely
academic.
On the present occasion they are not
only unnecessary. but may be perilouS,
because they might easily thwart the
whole splendid purpose in view by in
ducing other signatories to withhold
their own ratification. Americas inter-
ests are fully safeguarded by the SIM
pie and straightforward" Kellogg pact,
as President Coolidge describes it.
Those interests can only be jeopardized
by tinkering and tampering with the
spirit and letter of the convention the
Senate now is asked to ratify.

This and That

The ideal Christmas present for

The ideal present for ''her"-if a cat
is platter of raw beef.
With these two selections-Strangely
enough, one and the same thing-the
friend of cats can rest assured that his
pet is receiving exactly the present 1t
likes the best.
Tom and Tabby will get all there Is
to be gotten out of feline Christmas
when they bunker down before their
plates of beefsteak.
The attitude of the cat while eating
is a pleasant one. His head and tail
are outstretched, his paws before him,
touching the dish, his stomach dragging
the ground.
He delicately shifts the feast, then
dips his mouth downward, taking bite
or two on his pink tongue, whence 1t is
sent on its journey with touch or two
of the molars
Cats, like dogs, almost swallow their
meat whole. Varying with the intensity
of their hunger, or the situation in
which they eat. they give few chews
or none at all.
Often If cat is eating in strange
place, where he must keep a lookout for
enemies. he will eat his food with the
A bowl of half milk and cream is all
ways an acceptable Christmas present
for cat. Everything. however, de-
pends upon the individual.
Some cats greedily lap up milk and
cream, while others merely sniff it in
plain disgust. Some enjoy it as food,
others regard it as drink. If you pro-
m f1y
ent, first be sure 1t genuinely enjoys
cresol.
This same rule. of course, applies for
all feline presents. We did not think
it necessary to state it in connection
with beef. since practically all of the
tribe prefer it to my other food.
Many cat owners think their pets like
liver the best, and it is true that MANY
cats will eat good beef liver in prefer
ence to roundsteak, but we believe that
nine cats out of ten will like beefsteak
the best if given the chance.
The chance, it may be added, is SIM
ply the opportunity to become acquaint-
ed with beefsteak Many cats never
have tasted 1t. and are suspicious of it
when first offered.
When one leaves the realm of food
stuffs, he limits remarkably his choice
of feline presents.
Perhaps the best gift remaining is q
catnip mouse.
This is enjoyed especially by the
average cat If it has not had one for
long time
The best way to present this gift to
the pet is to carelessly place it in ones
lower right-hand vest pocket.
Taking the animal on the lap. you
careleSSly stroke the creature on the
head, saying Mice Kitty, nice kitty"
The nice kitty then gives a vigorous
whif at random, following which it be-
gins to poke its nose into the pocket.
The ceremony of pulling the stuffed
flannel mouse" out of its box by the
tail is tremendously interesting to the
cat.
Held tantalizingly aloft for second,
the mouse is then thrown to the floor,
where the fun begins.
Catn1p itself makes a neat cat pres
ent. One must not expect the house,
hold friend to go into any undue an
TICS. This is very modern age, and
the cats are modern too.
sophisticated cats will play with cat
nip injector awhile-and roll a bit in
the loose catnip. but they will soon
tire OF the one and give up the other.
