The Black Death.

The bubonic plague still is at large
in the world.
Perhaps the greatest terror in human
history is recalled with the report Of
the Public Heath Service that four
cases of this malady have been dis
covered at the French seaport of
Marseille. The story of the fourteenth
century in Europe, when the black
death killed approximately 100000
persons and almost depopulated some
countries, is not yet a closed chapter.
The monster still turks in the back
ground. One has only to read the
closing chapters of Sigrid Undset's
great trilogy of medieval Norway, Kris
tin Lauansdatter," TO appreciate in
some degree the most terrible fear and
helplessness that can fall upon q
people, waiting for the hand Of an
invisible demon to fall upon them.
War, food or famine hardly can dupli-
cate such a picture.
During the historical visitations of
the bubonic plague medical science
hardly had begun to evolve out of
magic and could do nothing. But dur

LOndon's New Skyline
Is Hardly Convincing
From the Chicago Tribune.

From October on, no doubt to some
millennium, buildings in London may go
20 feet, no farther, toward the sky.
Though this new law excludes two
stories in the roof and spires, turrets
and other incidents that may aspire
higher, 80 feet will be the rule, and
London will hereafter be miles long,
miles broad, and 80 feet in thickness.
America builds thicker cities, layer on
layer toward the hundreds, but London
and the Continent, where 20 stories
soon to be in Antwerp will tower over
all the plain, like their sandwich thin.
There are good reasons, and if Europe
prefers low buildings and distributed
metropoli, such styles are theirs to
choose. But there are bad reasons, too;
for example, that of Maurice E. Webb
quoted solemnly in the Times of Lon
don. A large skyScraper in New York,
says Mr.. Webb, houses some 10000
people, equivalent to a town the size of
Maidstone. In fire or a panic, even
though each person could get out at
once, the street below, he says, could
not hold them. And so it goes. On the
assumption evidently that a LONDON
skyscraper must be of old and hallowed
non-fireproof construction the English
want no Skyscrapers. They want new
styles in the old-fashioned way or not
at ALL Good reasons there are for
keeping low skyline, but such terrify-
ing fantasies hardly are convincing.

The Power Survey.

The taxpayer who makes an honest
effort to see reason and common sense
through some of the mazes Of legal red
tape that bind legislation is apt to be
rewarded with an attack of vertigo for
his pains. The Commissioners have an
appropriation for rebuilding the power
plant at Occoquan, to furnish power
for the reformatories there and at
Lorton. In the meantime the question
has arisen whether the District cannot
buy power cheaper from the Virginia
Public Service Corporation than it can
make it. One report indicates that it
can buy power cheaper, and the authori-
ties are now discussing with the power
company some changes in the form of
contract which would enable the Com
missioners to put the matter up to
Congress.
In the meantime, after considerable
study, the Engineer Commissioner is
about to let contract to one of several
bidders for the Job of making a survey
to determine the feasibility of munich
pal-owned plant which, presumably,
would furnish the various municipal de-
partments with electricity. Congress at
the last session appropriated $4,000 for
this purpose, though the debates did
not indicate clearly the source of the
proposal and left the reading public
considerably in the dark as to whether
the members of Congress who voted for
the item understood exactly what 1t
was meant for. Senator Norris, at least,
seemed to construe the appropriation as
an opening wedge for his long -sought
municipality or Government
owned. power plant to supply the Capt.
tai City with electricity. But 1T has
since been interpreted as merely ap-
plying to the manufacture of power for
municipal government use.
The District buys its electricity
cheaply. It is doubtful whether it could
make it so cheaply. But suppose the
survey now about to be undertaken
shows that i: can make its own electric
ity more cheaply. What then? Is there
any indication that Congress, on the
strength of the figures, will order the
municipality to manufacture its own
electricity? There is none. To make
electricity for municipal use alone would
hardly be worth while. The logical
step would be to have the municipality
supply electric current to the Federal
Government as well. And does Congress
intend to do this?
Public ownership Of the electric light
plant might be ideal, though there are
plenty who will contest that. The ques-
ton is why there should be any expen-
sive power survey without some faint
guarantee that Congress intends to
make use Of the results. There have
been power surveys in the past. and
they have come to nothing.

ing the last century 10 has discovered
the way the plague is spread, by means
Of lice parasitic on rats, and has been
able to keep it effectively in check so
that the outbreaks have been restricted
to the Orient. Moreover, an anti
plague serum of some value, although
lar from specific cure ,r proven
tive, has been made. But insurance
against a future pandemic demands the
most whole-hearted international CO.
operation. The fact that the disease has
come as far as Western Europe in
dicates that there are weak spots in
the line of defense.
One OF the peculiar properties of an
epidemic disease is it's deceptiveness.
For generations it will lie dormant until
the world is lulled into a false sense
OF security. 1t will be assumed that
the defensive measures are adequate.
Then the disease will break out again
with all its old virulence.
The temperance of the black death
in the western world emphasizes the
extreme value of the quarantine meas
ures enforced by the Public Health
Service as one of the chief safeguards
OF the Nation, The landing of a regi-
ment of enemy troops probably would
be of far less significance than that
single rat carrying with it the bubonic
plague should slip past quarantine.

Perhaps our lady readers might like
description of burlesque show.
Many women of today harbor a con-
viction that a stage entertainment of
this type is very, very wicked.
They not only do not go to such en-
tertainments themselves, but they do
not think that their menfolk ought to
go, either.
Hence the menfolk quietly sneak
away once in so often to witness the
nearest thing to the slap-stick of EliZ-
abethan drama which remains to the
stage.
The burlesque stage has way of
Sta. ing remarkably the same, year after
year, in essentials. What has happened
ladies of the chorus have taken on most
of their clothes.
This same thing, however. has been
done so often in expensive musical
comedy that 1t should be no particular
cause for knitting of the brows.

burlesque show, as Of the old ones, are

built up on misunderstanding, aided by
plays on words.
The Irish and Jewish comedians still
hold the center Of the stage. Then
usually there is the typical. well dressed
young man who has such difficult time
making the clown of the piece under
stand.
The trouble they all have with the
ladies offers the excuse for such action
as a typical burlesque show offers.
The girls, of course, give the show
its flavor. Without the women, neither
musical comedy nor burlesque would
be much.
Upon their agile caperings, their I'M
dress, and their good looks land most
women would be surprised at the good
appearance of most of these choruses)
the modern burlesque show stands its
ground.
Let us enter such a theater. The
average male being hopes that he won't
meet his Aunt Hattie coming along the
sidewalk just as he enters.
Inside the lobby are typical pictures
of the chorus, in various states of I'M
dress. From the auditorium come the
sounds of the orchestra with brass pre-
dominating. Some day some genius
of this type of show is going to take
the trombone in hand.

Brussels Wants Liquor,
But Would Penalize Drunkenness.
LIE Soir Brussels.-The chairman of
the Liberal Federation in the Brussels
district has just presented the following
resolution in the National Legislature !:
Considering that the Chamber of
Representatives is setting up a commits
sion to inquire into present liquor law
enforcement, We deem it timely to make
suggestions for revision of the laws
of 1919, for the control of alcohol.
While it is true that the laws Of 1919
have exercised in certain measure a
salutary effect, they have on the other
hand engendered multiple frauds and
clandestine collision between all the
baser elements of the population, which
logically have had a detrimental effect
not only from the viewpoint of morality.
but also from the viewpoint of public
health. These conditions we consider
as grave danger to the social welfare
as any other abuses the Legislature has
10 combat.
I'VE believe that any legislation which
conflicts with the character and the
traditions of the Belgian people, instead
Of helping the battle against the evils
of alcohol, risks a contrary eventually
We desire to warn members of the
Chamber and of the Senate to be on
guard against the new legislation now
being motivated which would place in
the present laws against alcohol the
prohibition principle, which we do not
believe could be applied to our popula-
ton. Instead We favor a return of the
commercialized liquor traffic with heavy
and repressive penalties for drunken
ness. We trust that before the end of
the present legislative session there will
be q revision of the present law In
restraint of alcohol"

way to Alexandria, the barrier seems
destined to remain.
There should be q relatively simple
remedy for the trouble. Instead OF
placing the barrier squarely across half
the wide road to the point where ii
joins the narrow road, 1t should be
placed obliquely, so that the driver ap-
preaching the narrow road will be
warned and given time to make the
curve gradually. AS it is now the driver
approaching Alexandria on the right
hand side of the highway comes upon
the barrier so suddenly that nothing
saves him. He must either stop sud-
denly, endangering those behind him,
or crash through the fence. Many have
crashed through the fence.

Remove This Hazard!

It would be impossible to believe
that the Virginia highway authorities
would permit the outrageous traffic
hazard to remain on the Alexandria
road at Four-Mile Run, were it not
for the fact that the road was built
that way in the first place and score
of accidents have failed TO remedy the
dangerous layout. Nearly everybody
who drives in and near Washington
is familiar with the place. The high
way has been widened from Washington
to Four Mile Run, but from that point
to Alexandria it Is so narrow that
two vehicles passing have little room 70
spare. The wide road terminates
abruptly with barrier. which has been
knocked to pieces and rebuilt ten or
eleven times. Nothing seems to have
occurred to the highway authorities ex-
cept to rebuild the barrier. - Until the
halfway is widened for the test Of the

Definite advantages in buying now

greatly increased by prevailing low
