 Juanita, who is 20, has passed a civil service examination for ma tron and seamstress and has been appointed to a position.
 Her examination papers, on file at the Dept. of the Interior, are written in tiny, copperplate hand which would do credit to a college graduate. She discourses learnedly on the care of living quarters, sanitation and diet.

Another Tariff Reminder

Measures which materially would curtail trade OF
the United States with her best foreign customers
are being discussed the British imperial confer
ence in London Proposed by Prime Minister Bennett
Of Canada, they have been supported by Australia
New Zealand Newfoundland, ireland, South Africa
and even rebellious India.
Bennett suggested that all British nations ado
10 per cent to existing future tariffs on imports
from non British nations. This would mean that
Canadian wheat and other products would get into
Great Britain cheaper than American and that
British manufacturers would have the advantage in
Canada over ours.
The British cabinet according to reports will reject
the Canadian proposal Nevertheless. the mother coun
try finds herself confronted with what amounts to
united demand from her colonies that she abandon
her traditional policy of virtual free trade
The cabinet will advance its proposal for the
bulk purchase of goods abroad by government boards
1t seems likely that out Of the discussion will come
some system resembling that proposed by Bennett al
though it may accomplish the ends by different
means.
Thus Americas foreign trade already hard hit
is confronted with another danger, largely as the
result Of the passage of extortionate tariff
Stimulation of empire trade long has been dis
cussed it is true but various proposals failed to win
popular support. When our tariff bill was drawn up
however empire discussion gained momentum.
The unanimity with which the dominions sup
ported Bennett is evidence of the feeling stirred by
our law. Premier Forbes of New Zealand announced
that his country already had taken steps to divert
trade to Great Britain from the United States Canada
recently raised her rates in retaliation against us.
The only way this country revive and keep
its foreign trade to revise its tariff schedules down
ward to sane levels. Foreign nations have given
abundant proof that they will not-in fact, can not
take our goods when put up virtual embargoes
against theirs.

The Billboard Eyesore

The automobile touring season of 1880 is just about
over; and if you asked the average tourist for his
chief impression of the scenery along his vacation
drive the chances are that he would mention the
great national eczema of advertising signs along the
highways.
Looking back over summer spent largely on the
highways. one recalls these sgnboards in a dizzy
multiplying panorama They make the ap-
proaches to our cities hideous and they mar ones
enjoyment of quiet country roads, they intrude upon
pleasant vistas of inland lakes they dot the white
frnged seashore and they plant themselves at the
feet of lofty, snowtipped mountains and the long
suffering American continues to endure them without
protest.
A recent issue of the Roadside Bulletin, a little
magazine published by the American Nature Associa
tion contains series of pictures of roadside adver-
Using signs, and the series is enough to make the
reader doubt the collective sanity of the American
public
With magnificent continent criss-crossed by ex-
cellent roads, and with the entire population on
wheels ready go out and enjoy these roads, we per-
NIT commercial interests to the scenery, desecrae
the open country and nfict nlonotonous uginess on
us from one seacoast to the other.
number of states have tried to remedy matters
by law but the law in this case, is rather ineffective
You can prohibit the erection of signs on the high
way itself, and you keep them from being placed
in the vicinity of railroad grade crossingsbut that is
about all.
You can not keep needy farmer from renting a
vacant lot to some overzealous advertiser. You can
not keep from smearing an ugly sign across
the side of his barn. You can not keep the owner
of some dilapidated eyesore of an abandoned grain
elevator or rundown factory from plasterng it with
screaming posters
Why do we put up with it, anyway? Is there some
thing radically wrong with our esthetic sense, that
we permit these sgnboards to litter our countryside
in such profusion? No country on earth offers its
motorists such lovely variety to choose from; and
no country permits its tours to be spoiled we per-
nit the billboard the hotdog stand and the filling
station to spoil ours.
The remedy, of course lies not in law but in an
aroused public opinion.

You can't get much satisfaction
out of hitting the right key on the

But I am glad to be a newspaper
man. That's the most enjoyable
sort of writing. I've written for
magazines sometimes, and even in
the cases where they accepted the
article it was all of three or four
months before it got published.
That made me feel as though l
were writing for posterity. BY the
time the piece came out I'd received
my check-and spent it, Of course

Intricate Maze
"1RHE NEW PHYsICso

ME NEW PHYSICS" is ar
L excellent book. It is par.
ticularly recommended to all lay
men who have been attempting tt
follow the intricate mazes Of mod
ern physical theory.
1t Is not recommended to read
erS who as yet have no acquaint-
ance with such theory. Those read
ers will do well to start with some
of the simpler and older books, for
example, Russel's "a 3 G of the
Atom" or Bragg's Concerning the
Nature of Things"
The reader who has fair knowl-
edge Of the meaning of such terms
as electron, atom, ether wave and
so o1l-and that body of readers is
extremely large today-will find the
book fascinating.
III particular, the book will ap-
peal to the high school or college
student engaged in elementary
chemical or physical work, who
would like to anticipate his work
in the more advanced fields of
modern theory.
Professor Haas does not make
easy reading. He treats his sub
jectS with the rigor and atten-
ton to detail which one has learned
to expect from the professor of a
great continental university. Foot
notes are frequent, sometimes as
many as four on a page.
But he keeps his discussion al
ways on the level of the intelligent
layman. There are no mathemat-
ical equations.

Great Advances

DR. HAAS style can be glinpsed
IL from the first chapter of the
book. He writes:
I'm consequence of the nagnifi.
cent advances made in theoretical
physics since the beginning of the
twentieth century, our views or
natural phenomena have undergone
complete transformation.
THE foundations of natural sci
ence have been revolutionized
Deep-rooted conceptions have been
shown to be untenable prejudgments
and have been condemned. The old
est ideas of natural philosophy have
changed their meaning.
Previously unsupported relation
ships have been. laid open to physi-
cal research. Our conception of ma
ture has been extended beautifully
and at the same time sirnplided and
unified.
This most recent development of
physics, so revolutionary and yet so
successful was aided by two the
cries which originated in the latter
half of the nineteenth century, each
of which represented a great ad-
vance in an endeavor to obtain uni
forfnity IN physics.
1.-THE first of these theories, due
to Maxwell, identified the phe-
nomena of light with those of cleo
tricity.
1.-THE other theory explained the
phenomena of heat by assuming a
continuous motion of the smallest
particles composing bodies, and thus
the science of heat became a branch
of mechanics"

Another Flop On Russia

This seems to be the season of sensational fops
on the Russian situation. S. Stanwood Menken not
so many months back, was warning us that the
Nuscovites were all but ready to move the Kremlin
to Capitol Hill, Washington Then he went to Russia
and repeated the experience of Ivy Lee He came
back warm an advocate of recognition as Mr.. Lee.
One great argument against our recognizing Russia
land the one chiefly relied upon by very moral
people-has been the allegation that Soviet Russia
has the morals Of guinea pig. Communism in
women is held to be as common as communism in
bread.

any time can throw his wife out of the front door

dent Of the Florence Crittenden mission has returned

Soviet Russia had law on divorce which matches
