INSPECTION VALUABLE
SHIPPING POINT

Shipping point inspection was pro-
yided for 1852 carloads OF Mary
land fruits and vegetables last year
by the State Department of Markets
in cooperation with the United
States Department OF Agriculture, it
is announced by S. B. Shaw, chief
inspector for the former organiza-
ton.
u, The inspections covered All cars
Of apples, 104 cars of peaches, l,O22
cars of Irish potatoes, 49 cars OF
sweet potatoes, cars of cucumDers,
II cars of tomatoes and Ii cars OF
pears.
Shipping point inspection, accord
ing ito Mr.. Shaw, has provided
real service for both shippers and
buyers and has steadily grown in
favor among both groups during the
past few years. Misunderstanding
and losses all along the line OF dis
tribution are minimlzed on ship
~ments that have passed the critica-
examination OF the inspectors, 1t is
pointed out.
When "a carlot shipment OF frul'
or vegetables is examined. its con-
dition, it's Quality and it's grade are
noted .on Sertiticate that accom-
panies the shipment. The shipper
thus has. definite guarantee OF his
product to offer the buyerawhile the
latter has an equally good guarantee
of the quality and condition at time
of shipment of the produce he is
buying.
In addition to this definite serv-
ice, shipping point inspection hat
had an important effect in improy-
ing the standard OF Maryland frul'
and vegetable shipments, it is said.
This is made clear by figures which
show that of the total number o.
cars shipped last year, 1,137 werl
passed as U. S. No. /. In Other
words, five per cent. more cars
went out last year as top grade thai
the year before.

Titesan Wild Horse
Figures in Scriptures?

1t Is thought that the dZiggetai, or
Kiang horse. approaches as near to
the primitive horse as any now found
in wild state. This is believed to be
the animal so graphically described
in the Book of Job.
The home of this creature, which
formerly ranged farther west, Is now
the high plateaus of Chinese Turk
estan between Lake Lob Nor and the
mountainous region of Tibet This
plateau is covered with growth of
short grass on which the wild horses
craze. The climate is very cold, the
mercury in winter sinking to 40 de-
grees below zero. Fahrenheit.
TIE Kiang horse is shaggy animal
having bodily somewhat the aspect OF
donkey except as to the tail and
ears. 1t is, however. genuine horse,
having rather delicate legs and feet
and ears by no means resembling
those of a donkey or mule. The color
Of the head and of the upper part and
sides of the body is reddish tan
shading to bay and, though this
color grows lighter from above down.
ward. 1t contrasts strikingly with the
pure white of the inner side of the
fOrelegs.
Along the spine runs well-defned
stripe Of thick blackish-brown hair ex-
tending TO the root of the tail. The
hair is long and shaggy and protects
the horse against the cold in winter.
The dziggetai, like all the other wild
horses. live in bands or herds of 100
to eco individuals, each presided over
by an old male. This leader gives the
signal when any danger approaches.
These animals are preyed upon fire.
Qucntly by wolves, but their most ter
rible enemy is the ounce or Turkestan
panther.

sTANDARD COpLING NEEDED

When it becomes necessary Tor
any city or town to call upon an
other for aid in the lighting OF fire
the need of the Standard coupling is
seen. After the fire has been sub
dued and the aiding companies re-
turned to their home stations the
need is forgotten.
The fires in Washington recently,
which made it necessary for that
city to call on the Baltimore FIRE
Department for aid, again brings
the issue to the fore. The Chief OF
the Baltimore Department, in an in
terview with newspaper men after
returning from the Washington
blaze, stressed the need OF such
measures to assure adequate fire
protection. He said that several OF
the counties did not have the Stan
dard connection. These counties
would be of no aid to Baltimore in
the time of a dangerous fire and the
city firemen would be helpless to ala

Chinese Haze Faith
in Queer Medicines

A famous scientist has recently CIV
en- an account of the rather scanty
training of the average Chinese
apothecary.
A Chinese chemist has little knowl-
edge of many of the drugs which mod
ern science has given us, and his
principal medicines are derived from
plants and animals.
Among his most favored remedies
are fly maggots, fish worms, grass
hoppers. dried silkworms, and beetles.
The roots of the thistle, the lotus. and
the ginseng. and the saliva of toads
are other favOrite medicines.
The Chinese chemist of today is
working on very much the same lines
as the arothecary of the Seventeenth
century. We wonder whether the Chi
nese ar" ve.y much worse off with
only til ~ simple remedies!

To the Editor of New York Times:
I am shocked by the announce
ment that the President intends to
recommend to Congress tive-year
naval program involving expendi-
lures approximating a billion dol
lars.
The United States Commissioner
of Education reported a few years
ago that the total endowment OF all
endowed educational Institutions
universities, colleges and profession
al schools-in the United States was
less than 100000. There is
not professor or teacher in an
American institution of higher
learning today who is paid decent
salary. Almost without exception
they are compelled to supplement
cheir salaries from other and some
lines very questionable sources. Yet
the future of our contribution tc
utilization depends not upon war
ships but our educational lnstitu-
lions. The rirhest country in the
world has in the course OF several
centuries amassed and devoted to
aigher education less than the Pres
ident of the United States proposes
With one sweep of his pen to devote
TO naval construction over the next
i've years.
We have been reading lectures on
good behavior and good morals to
every country in the world. We
have been holding aloof from them
because of reasons directly or indi
rectly connected with war and
rmaments. Yet We do not hesitate
