If 1t Is narrow to be so. then l am narrow enough to believe that no good American who holds these attach- ments to the church and to God has a right to consider any important public subject except primarily from that viewpoint. I. therefore, disdain any suggestion of my consciously representing the viewpoint of any particular social or economic class or group, and especially under such auspices as these under which we are holding this conference.
 Several large corporations have already inaugurated schemes of un- employment insurance and others are conducting experimentations which undoubtedly will eventuate in effective plans. Scarcely a day passes that I do not learn of some new experimentation of this sort. and the instances are already suf- ficient in number to justify the faith that the employing leadership of America will in time meet these necessities and that the situation of natural and compatible methods of dealing with it. It should be kept in mind that the nations industry has to carry the load and pay the cost of not only it's own activities. but those of the government.

Washington. Jan 27.-Addressing the Permanent Preventives of Un- employment conference called by the Federal Council of Churches oi Christ, the Central Conference oi American Rabbis and the National Catholic Welfare Conference, here to-day, John E. Edgerton, president of the National Association oi Manufacturers, declared unequivo- cally he was opposed to any and every form of public unemployment nj insurance. He said he did so on the solid ground that 1t is thorough hly and clearly incompatible with the American theory of government, oi economics and of morals; that il would subsidize idleness and encour. age thriftlessness; that 1t is i'm practicabl of just and efficient op- eration; that 1t is unnecessary and unwise in that it would not cure but rather tend to aggravate the very conditions which suggest it.
 Tn varying degrees of intensity an abnormal condition of unemploy- ment has existed for many months in practically every civilized nation on earth" said MT Edgerton. 'It cannot be said with truth, there fore, that 1t Is the peculiar fruit of any particular economic, social, or political system. Many analyses of the worldwide situation have been made by countless experts in every field of thought. and innumera ble opinions advanced as to the causes as we'll as remedies. Whatever the immediate causes in given national or local instances, l am of the Opin- ion myself that the widespread con- dition of distress is only another re- fiex of the World war, which de- prived society of the productive ef- fort of approximately fifty million human lives, and destroyed some thing like three hundred and fifty billions of dollars of property. hardly see how a world could aban- don itself for four years to an un- precedented enterprise of destruc- tion, and then expect to regain with in q few years it's balance, readjust itself to universally changed condi- tions, and resume its normal activ- ities. So instead of being shocked by the recurring effects of that tragic conflict, 1t is more reasonable to be surprised at the evidences of pro- gress already made toward the re- storation of a normal life in the earth. Again, it is being demon strated that mankind cannot escape the payment of a heavy price for it's folly.
 And 1t is not strange, that under such circumstances of pressure as those which now prevail, the minds of men should run to all sorts of ex- pedients for the amelioration of un- happy conditions, and for the pre- vention of their recurrence. Mans extremity is not only Gods oppor- tunity. but the devils as well. The very conditions which excite i'm pulses to il-considered action are those which impose upon respon- sible leadership both the necessity and obligation of those restraints of mind and spirit which ever serve as civfltzation's most dependable guards against irrationalism. The perils of diversity are one sort, and those of prosperity another. But they are equal in their calls for caution, and patience, and faith.

latter increases. the former, as a rule, decreases proportionately. and vice versa. Public unemployment insurance would require vast sums of money and industry would have to furnish the bulk of those funds. Already carrying a load of approxi- mately twelve billions of dollars an- nually as the cost of government in our country. such additional cost as would be imposed by public unem- ployment insurance would seriously impair. if not wreck, our industrial mechanism. Of course, the entire public. including the wage earners. who are dependent upon industry, would themselves ultimately pay the cost If industry is forced to reduce wage rates on account of these mounting burdens of taxation, then the responsibility will definitely rest upon our legislators and their allies in the movement to accomplish our economic salvation by political de- vfcpSp

DRA|NED,LAKE ENDS
ANCIENT MYSTERY
Moldy Remains of Two Ro-
zman. Ships of 1900 Years
Ago Revealed.
BY Cabte TO The Star.

BY Cabfe to The Star.
ROME, November 13.-The mystery
which surrounded the two ships of
Caligula. sunk for 1900 years in the
little volcanic lake of Nemi, near Rome,
IS now completely solved.
The first ship was brought completely
to light by the lowering of the level OF
the little lake 18 months ago, and it
was even carefully hauled farther up
the shore into a shed which served as
q museum. Now the second ship has
also been entirely exposed by further
lowering of the level of the lake, and it
may be said that no mystery about the
old Roman ships can continue to exist.
:. They are there for experts to study,
and decayed moldy END almost shape
less masses as they appear, they are,
nevertheless. wonderful records of what
was once the shipbuilding power of
Rome. Their characteristics were the
subject of much speculation among
psychologists before the work of drain
ing the lake was begun, and for 400
years before that they were the object
of repeated attempts to raise or to carry
away part of what belonged to them
and to exhibit them in museums.
Possible Ocean Vessels.
One of the ships measures 210 feet
in length and the other 240 feet, which
means that they approach the size OF
q big sailing vessel or an ordinary
2000-ton tramp steamship, and they
might have been capable OF sailing on
the ocean.
The second ship was examined as the
level of the water declined and num-
ber of bronze figures known as hermae
were collected. The first represented
fauns, male figures with two heads and
two faces, and the last cne found has
two heads of nymphs, or female fig
ures. Half dozen of these hermae
have been removed. They were evil
IDENTIFY the work of craftsmen who sim
ply copied Greek decorative works OF
this kind.
The fantastic SpeculationS which were
indulged in before the ships were made
to emerge have not been confirmed and
their aspect would at first sight have
been disappointing, hut to the experts
who have inspected them the ships cen
vey a convincing Object lesson OF II tne e
great progress which the Romans had
made in shipouilding. 1t gives an idea
of the solid sides, the oak timber. the
division of the decks and the arrange
fnents, even for steering, which the
Romans made.
Tinsel and Cc.Or Gone.
The tinsel and color of the ships have
gone after lying under water and on
the muddy bottom of the lake fer nearly
1000 years, but much of the metal rail-
ing which protected the decks, metal
pumps, even a windlacs and good deal
of leading pipe have remained to make
the vast inert mass CT each ship inter-
esting to the student of ancient naval
construction.
The last object found was a oarpen-
ters compass about Is inches high.
with metal points and metal guide.
Just like what the large working ccm-
pass of any ships carpenter might have
been. even in comparatively recent days,
on the big Norwegian or Swedish sailing
ships.
The second ship also will be hauled
farther up on the shore and will be
placed side by side with the first ship.
to be exhibited as a permanent curl
oSity.

SAN BENITO, Oct. 24.-Green

as the poultry demonstrators OF

Green feed furnishes vitamins and
contributes otherwise toward keep
ing the flock in the best Of con-
dition.
Much loss from poor circulation
cold, roup, and worms mag be
avoided by furnishing adequate
amounts OF green feed TO the flock
at all times. Wheat, barley or rye,
preferably wheat. because poultry
like wheat better than barley,
should be sowed for the green
feed, oats are not very satisfac-
tory. as it rusts too easily in the
Valley. The seed should be sowed
as soon as possible II you want your
poultry to have green feed this
