Disarmament Discussions

The preparatory disarmament commission. which
has adjourned at Geneva, has opened the way for
the long-deayed general disarmament conference.
American leadership is credited with the progress
made.
Whether the way thus opened is followed depends
on the willingness OF the powers including the United
States to put their new pledges of cooperation into
action. There have been so many similar promises
in the past that the hope of the common people OF
the world today necessarily is tempered somewhat by
xatchfulneSS.
The official reason for adjourning The preparatory
commission is to give the five naval powers time to
work out among themselves tentative understanding
on the basis OF the American method Of equiva-
lent tonnage" These discussions will take the form
of direct negotiations and may result in for
NAL preliminary naval conference in Washington.
After the tentative naval agreement if any, there

A Jailer's S Mistake

There are few so mean as to take pleasure in the
present discomfort of Harry F Sinclair And vet
the whole country is interested acutey in his daily
life in Jail
This Is so because the incarceration OF the multi
millionaire who corrupted a Presidents cabinet to
gain possession Of oil reserved for the nations de-
tense is seen vindcaton the theory that there
Is only one law for the rich and the poor.
This theory has needed vindication sadly. Down

ceive him, there many indeed still unprepared
TO believe it would happen. This is not the time
to argue why this is so. 1t is simply fact, fact
commonly expressed in the saying you can't put
million dollars in Jail"
Sinclair has been put in Jail. But many people
still skeptical Jail for Sinclair they believe, will
somehow not be Jail common offenders know it;
it will be jail with the rough edges snloothed away
The according of special privileges to important
perSonages who land behind the bars is an old story
familiar to everybody Shall such special privileges
be granted to Sinclair? People want to know that
This curiosity not born of cruelty 1t is born of
an instructive sense of justice.
The people want to know whether Harry F. Sin

fellow prisoners
The course yesterday taken by George S Wilson,
superintendent of public welfare OF the District of
Columbia, is certain TO the people of the

has barred the publc's representatives from the jail
until Sinclair's term has ended
The public is not to know whether this particular
prisoner is being treated other prisoners or
whether obsequous custodians are setting him apart
for special consideration.
Wilson would do we'll to consider the full inpli-
cations of the thing he has done II he does, he will
withdraw his unprecedented order.

They Know

The letters Of resignation sent by members
of the Coffin political machine should be read
bv every citizen who really would like to have
4 chance under decent and orderly govern
ment.
These men have in the past served the boss
with fidelity, devotion and zeal deserving OF
a worthier cause.
Some Of them have been close IN on the
councils of the machine if there is ever coun-

They at least understand the tricks and the
trickery, the schemes, the practices and the
purposes Of the master they now leave, or say

They are experts, these Hutsells, the Youngs
bnd the one Tutewiler, in Coffnism.
They declare that the machine has become
80 far removed from any thought of the peo-
pie or Of the public welfare that they cannot
stand it longer.
When they talk about Coffin and Coffnism,
they speak as experts. They know. They have
been part of the Vaccinations that have
disgraced the city and given it bad reputation
abroad and bad government at home.

tinction by voting with Klansman Hefin in the

If there was needed any evidence that the
city must be protected from this machine, these
deserting Heutenants of the boss furnish it.

they call attention to the inherent rottenness

An advection fog is produced by the horizontal
movement of of air from place to another.
Winter fog, formed by the drifting of of
relatively warm and humid air over cold snowbank
constitutes an advection fog.
Another fog which would be casSed an adyec-
ton fog is the heavy which forms when the wind
blows large masses of air from over warm ocean
current to point over cold one, from the warm
Gulf stream to the cold Labrador current
Another type of advection fog forms when cold air
slowly flows in water The warm water
continues to evaporae but fast the vapor rises
into the cold air, ii condenseS into fog.
This accounts for the "steaming OF rivers on frosty
mornings 1t also accounts for the similar fogs en-
countered in Arctic regions known by the picturesque
name of frost smokes
"Steaming' does not take place, however, II the
wind is too brisk In that the moisture is blown
away ahead OF the cold air 1t is only when the cold
air flows in gently that the phenomenon takes place.
FogS frequently classified by the amount OF
moisture they contain One containing little moisture
is called dry fog. One which is exceedingly damp
is called wet fog. Black fog is the name given to
the type which frequently forms industrial cities
and contains considerable SCOT and smoke.
In London there are fogs which contain a slight
amount of smoke and a result have rather yell
lowish color. These are known TO Englshmen as pea

IN spite of all these divergent in

services to the newspaper. On the

may work out to the making OF a
better column.

was my custom to lie in bed quite

Pleasantly the hours drift along IN

In this new world it is possible to
gain the reputation of being brill

Thanks to Mr., Young

A NY issue can be made the basis
n of a quarrel or conciliation.
Men have worked themselves into
such a passion as to kill each other
for a dime.
On the other hand, men have
composed seemingly irreconcilable
differences by no greater sacrifice
than using their wits.
But for the patience and resolu-
ton of Owen D. Young the peace
conference would have fallen nat.
It is not going too far to say that
neither the German delegates nor
those of the allies we're in frame
of mind that promised anything but
a deadlock.
AS a matter of common knowl-
edge, the reparations conference
has been on the point Of breaking
down several times.
just now, and in spite Of all the
turmoil. it seems probable that the
conference will result in an ADJUST
ment OF this most perplexing prob
lem.
If it does, the world can thank
Young and it can also thank his
disposition quite as much as his
ability.

germ in the tissue of persons who
had died of typhoid fever.
Four years later, another inveSti-
gator named Gaffkey got. the germ
out of the tissue and made it grow.
Thus he established definitely the
fact that typhoid fever is caused by
the germ.
The next step in the investigation
was to find out how this germ
spreads from one person to another,
because the germ must get into the
intestinal tract before one develops
the disease.
It soon was found that the ty-
phoid organism is spread by sewage
passing out of the human body and
communicating food, water and milk.
The lower animals do not be-
come infected with the typhoid Or
ganism, but they can carry it about
in their bodies and spread it
through communicating food sup

MeXiCo'S Problem

Archbishop Ruiz having expressed a
willingness ito cooperate" it seems
as though the church-state problem
in Mexico might be settled.
However, one may feel with re-
gard to it from a religious or pol
itical standpoint, it will have to be
settled before Mexico can look for
ward with confidence to enduring
peace.
1t is unthinkable that people so
largely Catholic by training and
tradition can dwell without
thoughts of disconent as long as
their government and the church
are estranged.
Such a condition is asking too
much Of human nature. Further
than that, such a condition can be
ended at any time when the lead

Ra8kob Has Right Idea

CAVINGS banks, building and
~ loan associations and insurance
companies have done splendidly by
people of small means.
If there is a way to let people
of small means profit through real
estate mortgages, the construction
of homes and life insurance, there
ought to be a way to let them profit
through the rise of stocks, the Or
ganization of industries and the
general increase of health.
That seems to be what RaSkob
has in mind, and it seems to repre-
sent merely the application of per-
fectly sane principles to an obvious
need.
IF it is protection the country

account TO the consumer, or of what
other nations may do to retaliate-
the new tariff bill more than sup
plies the demand.
The Republican party proposes
nothing less than to build such an
economic stone wall around this
country as the most powerful broad
casting station could not penetrate.
Business might flourish because of
such a barricade, but the home
folks would certainly pay for it.
There hardly is a necessary of
life but what would go up under the
proposed bill.
1t goes without saying that the
burden would fall heaviest on the
ultimate consumer.

plies. Some people who recover from
typhoid fever carry the germs about
in their bodies and act as typhoid
carriers. Flies serve as carriers Of
infection.
In the combat against typhoid
fever. modern scientific medicine
controls the condition by eliminat-
ing flies; by controlling milk, water
and food supplies, and by proper
treatment of the typhoid carrier.
When a person is sick with typhoid
fever, all his excretionS are disin-
fected before they are disposed Of.
In the battle against infectious
diseases, the greatest enemy that
science has to overcome is igno-
rance and superstition. AS long as
there are people who believe that
typhoid fever is due to dead weeds
and fish in the water, the attempt
to control the disease by scientific
sanitation will be difficult.

Need for Investment

nNE reason why so many people

The existing system makes it
practically impossible for them to

speculation but of legitimate buSi-
ness.
There are plenty Of institutions
by which rich men can take COM
paratiyely safe advantage Of the

There is none for the poor-none

Since the American plea for disarmament through
mutual concessions stimulated the world to hope
two weeks ago, there have been dScouaging develop
ments at Geneva. 1t seems clearer than ever that
a general sea-land-ar armament agreement if at
tanned will be bought with costly and vital compro-
misses in the ideal of disarmament.
To placate France, the United States has with
drawn objection to peacete CONSUMPTION and large
army reserves which thus will be left untouched by
a limitation agreement. On the naval side, some
foreign experts believe the new American equivalent

SPAIN IN FLORIDA
May 9

TODAY is the anniversary OF
l. perhaps the greatest single aid
Spain, as an ally of the American
colonies. gave during the Revolu-
tionary war.
For about two years prior to May
9. 1881, Galvez, the Spanish COM
mander at New Orleans, had har-
assed British forts along the south
ern length of the Mississippi river
with considerable success.
He then planned a campaign
against the British on the west coast
Of Florida, in the hope Of reclaim
ing the territory for Spain.
His operations we're delayed at the
outset by the first hurricane IN re-
corded history to strike Florida, and
the adjacent territory on the Gull
of Mexico. But on May 9, 1871
Pensacola, with a garrison OF Boo
men and the whole of Florida's west
coast surrendered to Galvez.
The Spanish victory was laVoraDle
news to the struggling colonies, but
it was TO give rise later TO a pro-
longed border dispute between the
United States and Spain. 1t was not
settled until forty years later and
meanwhile, provoked much ill-will
between the two countries.

from the old sun disls and standard
time established What is good for

try daylight saving time and shove
their clocks back and forth every
time the moon changes.
I wonder just who is responsible
for daylight saving time. For it is
just too bad he didn't have the
power to speed the sun up one hour
and then hold it back for an hour

he could fool all the people and
make people believe they were get
ting up at the same time, going to
work at the same time, and then
make them believe they were quit
ting one hour earlier. Who is the
real beneficiary?
If the employers want early time,
why not just order their plants and
stores to open one hour earlier and
close one hour earlier, instead Of
making a big muddle of the time
and causing many to miss tranis
that run on standard time.
There always is a commotion and
inquiries Of what kind Of time"
under the daylight saving plan.
If daylight saving goes into effect
here my clocks will not be changed
and I will say stores open at 7
