New York TtmeS)
One Of the principal things that is wrong with our
law enforcement is just plain verbage. Judges use five
words where one would do, and lawyers use twenty five
words-long ones. Expert opinions run on for hours.
Thirty witnesses are summoned where two would be
enough to establish a point. Briefs run to the length Of
100 900 words.
It is the same with semi judicial procedure. In the
course of hearings before q senate committee comeone
always "reads into the record" q trifle of 600 pages and
$780, 900 words on gradc-crossings In the southern parishes
Of Louisiana. Our public life Is increasingly congested
with skyscraping edifices Of words, shutting OFF each
others light and air ana inducing paralysis Of traffic.

Proper refrigeration II essential In
preserving food, and for this reason
I have always strongly advocated the
use Of both Ice and electric refrigera-
tors. Recently, however, I have re-
ceived many letters inquiring about
tho possibility Of poisoning from es-
cape Of gas used In the electric refrig-
orators. There has been the rumor
of danger from the gas used a. . re-
frigerant in these electrical machines.
After inquiry from the various man
ufactures Of electrical r~efrigeratiors.
I find that there are three different
gases used. The first Is methyl
Chord, the second Is sulphur dloxid,
and the third Is ammonia. Both sui.
phur dioxid and ammonia have very
strong odors, and the least leak would
be readily detected 20 that there Is
scarcely any danger Of poisoning from
these sources. Even II one were asleep
the gases are 30 Irritating that one
would Immediately wake up. Methyl
Chord, however, Is . gas that u not
50 readily detected by the breather,
as the ordor is faint and sweetish and
does not cause coughing or burn the
eyes. For this reason, . person who
is awake may not notice 1t, and one
asleep would not know Of its escape.
With ammonia and sulphur dioxid on
tho other hand, the inhaling causes
violent coughing. The victim Is
warned, and leaves the vicinity
quickly.
The companies now using methyl
Chord usually mix some sulphur
dioxid with the other gases that .
leak may be readily discerned.
I have become convinced that the
dangers have been greatly exaggerat-
ed. Even methyl Chord Is not dam
gerous except when greatly concen-
trated. The hazards Of using electric
refrigerators are very slight, certainly
not as great as using bathtubs q au-

Apprentice Training q Solution

<ARPAVAASA~O AA0A44AA4k q 0VANVAVAA
Despite The decadence Of the old apprentice system.
due to the fact that 50 many fabricating processes now
adays are monopolised BY machinery, there still remains
4 field for this kind Of training in America.
In fact. there is such q preponderance of unskiled
workers that apprentice training in skilled branches
artisanship-has been proposed Is a relief from the
pressing economic problem Of unemployment. In con-
trast to the surplus Of unskilled workers there is said
to be a dcarth Of skilled hands for the various crafts.
The manual training schools do not begin sufficiently
to supply skilled craftsmen. Industry itself should as
sumo the task Of special apprenticeships, seeing that
there is a need Of such trained h~andicraft labor and in
view of the palpable fact that skilled labor subtracted
from the vast numbers OF idle should help adjust the
unemployment situation.
The point was made recently at a conference ON this
problem in Milwaukee that training Of skill will be an
advantage In the case Of men advanced to manage
ment positions. Too many executives in industry, it was
said, have grown up too exclusively in one branch Of
their business.
1t is true that machinery replaces workers, but not
always skilled men. They still remain a necessity which
unskilled labor cannot supply.
This point was brought out by q striking test made
by a speaker at a recent vocational conference for boys
in a large city. He announced that he wanted some-
body to clean his sidewalks from snow, and that he
would pay q dollar for the work. When he asked all
who would take the Job to raise their hands, 500 re-
sponded.
Unfortunately" said the speaker, II have only one
house, SO the chances Of any of you cleaning my side
walks are one In 500. But I also need help in installing
electric fixtures In accordance with the building regu-
lations. What boy is qualified for that job?"
Only one hand was raised.
well" the speaker then continued, I'VE seem to have
a big army Of snow shovelers. but only one lone general
for my chandelier. I advise that more of you boys train
yourselves for jobs where there is greater opportunity
and perhaps better pay"
That's the idea. There are too many snow shovelers
and not enough skilled mechanics. And It's Just Is bad
crowded. This is an era Of mechanism. Even farming
is becoming q mechanical vocation. The call is for
trained workers on every hand. The young men enter
ing the wage-earning period Of life should strive for
this mechanical training. Otherwise he is apt to find
himself little less than . serf or an automaton. ,
Many a man watches his step 80 closely that he can
not keep an eye on the main chance.
The trouble with reform cant is that it breeds 50 many
nasging little cants.
II every day were Sunday some people would work
themselves to death.
A man who marries for money can't get along with
or without his wife.
Every shocking flapper is followed by a gang Of shock
absorbers.
Money talks, but it doesn't hesitate long enough to say
much.

Staying With the Job
(TNlAAA nlaAaN

Ohio farm club boys and girls are learning to stick
with the Job. That Is even more important than acquir-
ing skill In planting and blowing. Perseverance Is needed
to make possible any worthy accomplishment It IS
fundamental.
The Ohio extension service reports four out Of every
five enrolled in the farm club work last year completed
the tasks. This meant pushing the project in farming
or home economics. making the records, and displaying
work at the county fair or some other public gathering.
There were 36.05l boys and girls In these All clubs. The
girls outranked the boys slightly in persistence shown by

In the Peace Museum

While the progress toward giving the world an in
;ternational religion consisting OF the single principle Of
peace as the political faith Of nations is drawing down
icynicisms on one Of its e~fforts-that of the naval lini-
plying its visible hopes in the number Of scraps Of pa

STIMULATING among themselves.
/ The League of Nations is making a collection Of such
evidences of . tendency toward pacific settlement of In
ternational frictions. Already 1t has $50 treaties Of this
mature registered at Geneva. This indicates again q
world disposition to turn away from war to pacific rela-
lions at all times among the nations.
AS would readily be concluded, the United States is
strongly represented in the Geneva museum in the in
kernational movement which it has been sponsoring in
20 many forms Of activities.
twenty-five countries were parties to 81 new treaties
which were registered during 1920 in the seat Of the
League. In 1928 there were registered is such treaties.
and in 1927 only six.
The United States was a party to 20 of the new trea-
ties.
While the washington government is easily leader In
numbers of treaties of this kind registered during the

reflect clearly the traditional American policy Of avoid

Editorial Comment
e
(JudRe)

President Day Of Union college, having proposed to
get rid Of commercialized intercollegiate games through
a strictly amateur league Of small colleges, Donald Gibbs
of the New York World took q trip around to see how
the idea had been received. And the most encouraging
thing he found was q complete indifference among the
undergraduates. They aren't thinking much about ath-
letics one way or the other. Dances, dramatic perfor-
mances. the movies. week-ends, yes, even study, interest
them a great deal more.
Perhaps II we could just abolish alumni and leave this
business Of college spirit wholly to the undergraduates,
the whole question Of auaateurisrn would simply settle
itself.

however, depends solely upon . condi-
ton Of poor blood and blood circu-
latiou. I have never observed q case

Eczema
Question: w. r. Y. asks: r"Would

ma? What foods are to be avoided

Answer: Eating too much Of any
kind Of food having q high caloric
value may cause eczema with n who
Is sensitive to this disorder, but the
primary cause Of eczema is from an
over-acid stomach which Is caused
mostly from the use Of improper COM
binAtions. All forms Of eczema can
