Smile-hut Not Out Loud.

One Of the greatest problems con-
fronting the American people today is
how not TO laugh out loud. What we
need, In other words, is an ability TO
laugh up our sleeves, to swallow a
chuckle or to become adept in perfect
ing the silent smoker. The talkies de-
mand that something be done.
In the old days, when men were men
and not fiickers on the silver screen.
our leading comedians uttered their
wise cracks" and while the audience
was convulsed with resultcnt laughter
and shouting uproar!ously the comedian
paused until the storm died down, thus
permitting the audience TO hear the
next sally. The talking pictures have
chsnged all this. The comedians speak
their funny lines, and the audience
shrieks, with delight, the shrieks grow
ing in volume and gaining applause
as the joke comes home. But instead
of the pause to allow the tumult to
subside. the comedian, talking as he
is to machine that hangs above his
head and not to an audience of flesh
and blood. plunges ahead into his next
mirth- provoking observation, with the
result that NOBODY hears him. Scme

vious that the American audiences are
losing millions of dollars worthsof Jokes
annually because they cannot hear them.
The comedians who do their stuff for
the talkiss are confronted, on their part
with a problem of no small proportions.
Suppose they undertook to stop talking
after each one of their sallies, thus
permitting the roar of laughter from
imaginary audiences to die down. But
suppose the joke did not get over?
Then the pause would be more con-
spicuous than the joke. The abysmal
silence would be interpreted as ham
acting on the part of the comsdian.
His next joke would lose force, and if
nobody laughed the chasm of ensuing
silence would beat on the ears of the
audience like hail on a tin roof.
What is needed, therefore, is a cam
paign of education. The American
movie audiences must learn to laugh
deeply but silently. They may rock with
laughter, but not roar. UsherS must be
trained to walk up and down the aisles,
threatening with eviction the patron
who outlaws or chortles. The hysterical
giggler or the man with the horse
laugh who sees the joke after everybody
else is through laughing will be barred
at the door, and silence will reign in
the "cathedrals" of the talkies.

School Health Work.

The recommendation in the annual
report of the District health ofncer that
more adequate provision be made for
the medical and dental inspection serv-
ice in the public schools is one that
should receive the earnest considera-
ton Of the Commissioners and the COM
nittees in Congress who handle Dis
trict affairs.
II, as the report states, the present
corps of nurses. doctors and dental ex-
aminers Is inadequate TO give pupils the
amount Of supervision they should have,
the subject is one that should be fol-
bowed up.
AS the health oficer points out in his
report, 1T is Of the utmost importance
that the children in the schools Of
this District should be in good physical
condition in order that they may pursue
their studies in a comfortable and eff
cient manner"
The report shows that provision was
made recently for two additional medi-
cal inspectors, two nurses, two dental
hygienists and four dental operators,
and that funds also have been made
available fer two more dental clinics
this year But the report adds that the
medical and dental service. even with
these additions, continues to be in
adequate to meet the needs"
With the school system growing
steadily, it is a timely suggestion that
the facilities for promoting the health
Of the city's future citizens be kept in
mind along with other school needs.

warmth for an imperial tariff varies,
there is no longer any doubt that the
idea is irresistibly on the march. The
existence of Labor government in the
mother country naturally inpedes its
progress, for Mr.. Macdonald and his
colleagues are still welded to the an
cient shibboleth of free trade. If the
Baldwin Conservatives were in power,
the chances are strong that John Bull
would shed his obsolete fiscal garments
and don a modern protective tariff at
tire before the imperial conference adj
journed.
The sentiments voiced by. Canada and
the other daughter nations" at least
annihilate the hopes of Lord Beaver
brook and his school of British thought
for empire free trade" The domin-
ions want empire protection, not empire
free trade. They are willing to give
Great Britain preferential protection
to the extent Of a ten per cent rebate
in the rates imposed on non-British
wares. But the idea of non-tariff in
tercourse within the empire itself is
definitely rejected. Unl' ~ some scheme
of tariff preferences ISNults from the
present London confFNRnce, the cables
tell that many domiTsSSn representatives
will look back upon it as failure.
Should the Macdonald government
take a definite stand against empire
protection, it will acknowledgements
or late-provoke a general election on
the issue in Great Britain. The Con-
servatives are eager for battle on it.
They are prepared to depict a tariff
syst%0n as indispensable to British in
ds=-rial resuscitation and solution of
the unemployment problem.
Premier Bennett of Canada has
specifically demanded that any program
of empire protection shall give Canadian
and other dominion wheat a ten per
cent advantage over American wheat.
That will permit the Laborites, if they
must go to the mat on the tariff issue,
to exploit the "bread-tax" DOGGY with
a vengeance. Such a battle cry-the
threat Of an artificial rise in the cost
of the workingman's food-has proved
efficacious in Britain before, and may
do so again. But Labor will invoke it,
it is now plain, at the cost of grave
rift with the "dominions beyond the
seas"

Q. How much powder does it take to
break one yard of rock?--L H. II.
A. The Bureau of Mines says that
the amount of powder necessary TO
break one yard &C rock ranges FROM
2-1o POUNDS per ton to three to four
pounds per ton, depending upon the
kind of rock, its hardness and tough
ness; the number OF free faces ex-
posed, and the tightness OF the opening
from which II Is TO be blasted. A
smaller amount Is necessary in proper
ton for large quantities OF rock. The
percentage of powder would depend also
upon the rock. On some rocks bet
ter breakage is obtained on lower per-
centages, as some rocks require a Slow
acting explosion. From 20 to so per
cent powder is used for ordinary
blasting.

A. The Lion of Lucerne" was copied
from a model by Bertel Thorwaldsen,
the famous Danish sculptor. The Swiss
artist was named Ahorn. He chiseled
the sleeping lion out of solid rock as a
memorial to the Swiss Guards who died

Urge Government
Regulation for Telephones.
Impartial, Montevideo.-The ques-
ton of the telephone is one calling for
early and definite adjustment. Such
equipment as now Is in use in the city
and throughout the country Is anti
uuated, deficient and unsatisfactory,
but the private enterprise hitherto ex-
plotting our telephone system, so called,
is unwilling TO institute any radical
improvements, until 1t is finally decided
what the government proposes to do in
the matter of regulation.
If the authorities take over the lines,
and make state monopoly out OF the
system, the private interests naturally
will be eliminated, and they cannot be
censured for reluctance to improve the
present chaotic service while the whole
proposition is surrounded with unceS~.
tainty.
We have continuously called the
attention both of the government and
the public to this procrastination, and
urged an immediate decision in regard
to future control and development Of
the telephone system. We need more
phones, and a greater diffusion OF
wires. We need automatic telephones,
instead of the Anticipated and cumbrouS
instruments now the vogue. Both busi-
ness and social requirements demand
these improvements. and further de-
lay in furnishing them should not be
tolerated.

Waterfront Improvement.

The river and harbor act for 1925
authorized the chief of engineers to
make a preliminary survey and report
on the treatment of that portion of
WaShington's waterfront lying to the
east and north of the Washington
Channel, and after nearly four years
the report was completed and forwarded
from the chief of engineers to the
Speaker of the House. 1t was referred
to the Committee on Rivers and Har-
bors and is pending there now.
The report has been given wide pub
licity. The improvement of Washing
tons unsightly waterfront has been
urged for years by the Board of Trade
and other active citizens organizations,
as well as by the officials charged with
Identification and development of the
Capital. 1t has been regarded for many
years as one of the essential projects
in Capital development, and it is to be
hoped that the coming session Of Con-
gress will find the time to get around
to it and embody in legislation the best
features of the Army engineers re-
port. The cost OF the whole project
was set at 1881, 900 and the division
Of expenses as between the Federal
and the District governments was sug-
gested as $2,392, 28o for the former and
81 ,2ee, 800 for the latter, the expendi-
ure and work to be spread over period
Of five years.
In the meantime, the annual report
of the Wharf Con .l.ttee OF the District
of Columbia sheds interesting light on
the immediate effect of the Army engi-
neer report. THE administration Oh
wharf affairs by the Wharf Committee
during the past year has been trouble
some because of the uncertainty as to
when the general improvement OF the
waterfront will begin" the report says.
Wharf tenants naturally decline to
make improvements on rented property
because Of short-term leases. Recurring
requests for funds for reconstruction
and maintenance of wharves used for
municipal purposes must be made, due
10 QeJeIlOT6LlCn anu 0CCdy VA WoNCAAASAt
structures. Further delay in general
improvement only adds to the cost OF
maintenance"
In other words, the waterfront is
deteriorating while every one waits to
md out what is going to be done and
when 1t is going to be done. AS it is
impossible to permit deterioration to go
forward unchecked, temporary repairs
are necessary. But every repair means
30 much wasted money, as the improve
ment of the waterfront will radically
change the set-up of buildings and
streets. TIE waterfront was never
much, to begin with. 1t is one Of the
sore spots Of the Capital now. The
coming session of Congress should en-
deavor to approve a plan and let the
work of improvement and identification
begin without an indefinite and pro-
longed delay.

Farm Board Influence
Seen on Meat Price Cut

From the Topeka Daily Capital.
Figures issued by the Virginia De-
partment of Agriculture last week OF
the prices of live stock and OF meats
showed, according to Director Meek
of that department, that consumers
of various agricultural products do not
receive the reductions in prices Justi-
fed by the prices to the producers. I"
The Virginia director cited prices
as of May Is, 1928, 1929 and 1880 for
both live stock and meats. They show
ed a decline in round figures OF about
a dollar for hogs, or about 8 per cent;
S110 for beef cattle, or 10 per cent.
and over SO for lambs, or 20 per cent.
while on the same date pork chops.
bacon and sliced hams had declined
only or cents pound, or about
5 per cent, sirloin steak was about
the same as in 1929 and chuck beef
and plate beef were trife higher.
G.. B. Denman, member of the Fed
eral Farm Board, on June rs called
attention to the fact that wholesale
meat prices had been reduced sharply,
but retail prices had failed to come
down in proportion.
Now the board reports that retail
prices for beef have been rather dras-
tically reduced" and a larger volume
of meat is moving to consuming mar
ketS accordingly.
The board appears to believe that
Mr.. Denman's statement had some
thing to do with it, and it remarks
that the purpose of the Denman state
ment, as we'll as the present one, was
Ito re-establish a stable market for
beef" Mr.. Denman says of meat re-
auctions in Philadelphia that on July
IS they averaged IL cents pound to the
consumer and in Chicago IL cents for
cheaper cuts of beef, compared with
July IS. 1929, and such reductions
show that retail meat dealers are
cooperating to make possible wider
distribution of beef" the price reduc-
lions in these two cities being greater
than the wholesale reductions. Letters
to the board from Kansas City, Fort
Worth, st. Paul and numerous smaller
cities, Mr.. Denman states, indicate re-
auctions running as high in some places
as cents a pound. On better grades
of beef prices are held up, and the
Farm Board calls upon the retailers
to cooperate further by leveling prices
down
While many farmers are skeptical of
any good to come from the Farm Board
act in stabilizing agriculture. they must
recognize that occupying the conspic-
uous position that the board does, all
its outgivings being news at this time,
such exercise of its influence to diminish
the spread between producer and con-
sumner prices Is . benefit all around.

The Columbia.

That veteran of veterans, the good
old ship the Columbia, has added an
other wreath to her weather-beaten
frame and now possesses the unique dis
tinction of being the only plane in his
tory which has successfully accom-
plished two nonstop flights across the
Atlantic Ocean. The Columbia, which
first made its public bow five years ago,
was built by the noted designer
Giuseppe Bellanca. 1t has had many
masters and it has served them well.
And yesterday, when Capt. j. Enrol
Boyd and Lieut.. Harry P. Conner
brought her to earth thirty miles of
Lands End after twenty-four hours in
the air from Newfoundland, it was only
because of a small defect in the gas line
that prevented a greater triumph, that
of reaching Croydon Airdrome, outside
of London, which had been set as the
goal of her latest sky adventure.
Five years ago when the Columbia
emerged from the shops glistening with
her fresh coat of paint she Immediately
achieved recognition by bagging two
trophies at the international Sesqui-
centennial Air Races in Detroit. The
next year Clarence d. Chamberlin,
whose name, with that Of Charles A.
Levine, is most closely associated with
her career, took with him Bert Acosta,
another famous flyer, and established
what was then the non-refueling world
endurance record. So impressed was
Chamberlin with the planes perform
ance that late in 1927, after Lindbergh
had made air history by his startling
dash to Paris, he, with Levine as pas
senger, set out from New York to Ger
many, coming to earth forty-two hours
later outside of Berlin with a new dis
lance record. At this point in her
career the Columbia survived bad
crash in Italy and the semi-comic at
tempt of Levine, who was not a pilot,
to fly it across the English Channel.
Last June Roger @. Williams and the
two aviators who took her across the
ocean yesterday decided on nonstop
flight of seventeen hundred miles, from
New York to Bermuda and back, and
picked out the old Columbia for the
venture. With Conner navigating and
hitting the nail on the head" by keep
ing the ship on an unerring line to the
tiny island, the trip was a complete
success. That yesterday Conner could
not duplicate his feat Of navigation of
last June with much larger target to
aim at was no fault Of the old Colum-
bia, and had she not been taken moro
than one hundred and fifty miles of
her course she would probably today be
resting from nonstop flight to the
English mainland.
1t is planes like the Columbia that
promote public confidence in aviation.
AS Levine said on learning that Boyd
and Conner were forced to land short,
of their goal, lat least it is a plane
that gets you over-you don't need to
worry about losing your neck when you
start out in It," The Columbia has been
most emphatically a plane to get you
over" and after all that is the main
thing in flying.
