Plain and Other English.

An unfortunate misinterpretation Of
the English language as used in letters
to the Public Utilities Commission has
been cleared away with resulting credit
10 the gas company. The gas company
does not care how much it costs to
make adjustments on gas appliances
and its recent citation Of the cost was
not intended to convey the impression
that 1t did care.
On March 4 the gas company wrote
TO the Public Utilities Commission out
lining various and sundry views on
pressure and appliance adjustment,
stating that the company was carefully
adjusting appliances I'm all new cases
and upon specific customers complaints,
This is upon the assumption that such
complaints naturally represent the most
serious conditions and should therefore
receive first attention. To do other

The National Arboretum.

One of the most important pieces of
legislation linked in with the Capital
development program, which will be
urged for emergency action when Con-
gress reassembles in December, is the
ms asure authorizing an additional
5000, 900 to purchase needed land for
the National Arboretum, which is to
adorn the northeast entrance to the
National Capital.
This proposal, with many other i'm
portant measures, was laid aside by
Congress for future consideration dur
ing the closing jam, and not because there
is any serious opposition to 1t. When
the measure was called up on a motion
TO suspend the rules, which requires a
two-thirds vote, it received majority
support even though the merits of the
proposition we're not discussed and 1t
came in the path Of a filibuster on
immigration.
The particular merits of the case are
that the Government scientists in the
Department OF Agriculture need this
area as an outdoor laboratory, that
when the substantive law was passed
creating a National Arboretum 1t was
then estimated that this additional
amount would be required to complete
the area desired.
The Department Of Agriculture has
purchased about one-half of the land
charted for acquisition for the srbore-
tum. Because of limitation in the
original bill, the department. could not
buy some of the most desirable parcels
of land due to the provision that it
must not pay more than 125 per cent Of
the assessed value OF the land. so they
had TO buy whatever parcels they could
within the area. They must now piece
out the rest Of the arboretum, so as tc
provide the needed space, make COM
pact area and square up the boundaries
The department still has some s7s,0oC

Soviet Forced Labor
Denial Hit by British

From the Fort Wayne News-sentinel
Unfortunately for Moscow, the Soviet
denial-in broad, blanket forn-that
any convict labor is being employed in
the Russian timber industry, has been
met by "blue book" published by the
British government, which quotes d.
rectly from the reds labor regulations,
and shows beyond doubt that the Rus
sian government has regularly praeticed
forced labor policies.
One CT these regulations is an order
issued by the Russian commissariat of
agriculture, which has charge of the
forests. This order, dated June 1, 1929,
Is entitled Procedure for the Utilization
of Forced Labor in Forestry and I'M
provement Work" There is no sign of
any subsequent order modifying this
course of action which Is set off by the
declaration that "the present instruc-
tions are the first attempt to utilize on
timber and Improvement work the labor
of persons sentenced to forced labor
without detention under guard"
Under the terms of this general order,
all Russian agricultural organizations
are directed to explore all possibilities
for using convictS in timber work, and
Ito establish for this purpose perma-
nent relations with the bureau OF
forced labor"
Even more light has been thrown
upon the use of convict labor by the
deposition of a former high official of
the unified state political department"
(the famous Ogpu), informed in Fin
land. This gentleman declares that the
penal camps are operated under an ar
rangemept between the Ogpu and the
big timber trusts, and that official
records showed that $4,000 prisoners
were In those CAMPS on May I, 1880.

quarter far removed from the business
district OF Bogota, Is not to be subjected
to the same appointments as If it
were situated on the Pasco Bolivar. In
deed, the present rates charged against
some properties in the outlying pur-
lieus OF the city are based on estimates
which exceed the real value of the
properties by 200 OF 300 per cent. In
the present commercial crisis, many Of
these properties do not earn, in the
course OF many months, enough money
to pay the taxes charged against them,
to say nothing OF showing any profit on
the investments.
DR.. Bojarano, in an eloquent and
convincing address, urged the civic au-
thoritieS to take immediate steps to end
this archaic and unfair system of as
sessments, and 1t Is likely, from the in
tsrest manifested in the council, that
the entire subject will be reviewed, and
proper revisionS and rebates made in
connection with all taxes, ct least in so
far as their relative Determinations are
concerned.
Blood CircuIateS
Through COngested Veins.
o formal do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro.-
DIR. Nicolas Ciancio has evolved the
theory that, contrary to largely accepted
medical opinion, the blood does circu-
late through varicose or congested veins,
but does not return to the general cir
culation, and thus through the heart,
but flows only in localized surround
ing area. "One form of treatment for
swollen veins" says DR.. Ciancio, has
been the establishment of what is
called collateral circulation This at
tempt to correct the trouble consisted
in distending the smaller tributary
veins, thus relieving the pressure on
the stagnant veins, and so restoring the
normal flow of the blood. Such O pro-
cedure is now found to be erroneous.
When varicose veins in the leg are
treated in this way, the blood released,
instead of flowing upward to the lungs
and heart, flows downward, and creates
discomfort and construction at another
point" DR.. Ciancio added that nature
seeks to relieve the condition by the
formation of new channels through
which the stationary blood stream can
again find a passage. Such q drainage
system, as soon as 1t is functioning, is a
better remedy for the disorder than. any
methods of treatment as yet known to
the art of medicine.

World Needs Action
On Wheat Situation

From the Worcester Daily Telegram.
At the international wheat confer
ence in Paris the ever-present conflict
between producers and consumers was
again in evidence. The producer, in
whatever country he may live, wishes
to be protected in some way against ex-
ceSsiYe competition from foreign coun-
tries. The consumer, including in many
cases the retail dealer, on account of
difference in price or in quality, is often
eager to buy outside goods. Thus many
governments are haraSSed by two OPP
posing groups, and there is also the
struggle between government and gov
eminent, or between nation and nation,
for real or fancied advantages in the
world market.
In the case of wheat the situstion is
unusually complicated, because lust
now the supply all over the world is so
much greater than the demand There
are Surpluses in Europe as well as in
the Western Hemisphere.
There may come time when there
will be reduction or Limitation of pro-
duction of wheat and other commodi-
ties by international agreements: just
as we now have naval limitation
treaties. But that time has not arrived
yet. Meanwhile It win be wise for
American growers to realize that there
are limits to the aid which their own
Government can give them There is,
for example, the export debenture pro-
posal, or the export bounty, which some
of our Western farmers and politicians
are still seeking and probably will con-
tinue to seek during the coming Sum-
mer. An American export bounty could
be nullified by enbargoes by foreign
governments. Powerful as we are, we
could not compel other countries to ac-
cept low-price wheat from US. We
could net even give wheat TO other
countries unless they we're willing to re-

which would amount to minimum per

gregate to hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars.
But In its letter to the commission
Tuesday the gas company explained:
AS was pointed out In our letter Of
March 4, this company has not consid-
cred and is not now suggesting that
the cost of this work is any reason for
alleged failure In performing it; on the
contrary, 1t is our fixed policy TO make
adjustments promptly and whenever 1t
Is possible to make discovery of the need
therefor In this interest Of good service
and satisfied customers. 1t is incom-
prehensible how any other interpreta-
ton could be fairly placed upon what
we wrote when we said in the letter of
March 4, after stating methods we were
adopting for inspection, that such work
was entirely aside from the cost in
volved."

Reading is perhaps the pleasantes'
hobby in the world because with most
men 1t is the Oldest.
It's roots go back to the earliest days
of childhood, to that time In the In
dividual life history when impressions
were keenest and intellectual growth
the largest.
Few sports or other diversions can be
traced back to the age Of 8 or years
Reading, with most Of us, Is almost
rs fundamental as breathing, eating and
walking
At least it seems so.
That is why, in later life, there Is nc
hobby taken up, even with enthusiasm
which will get quite such q grip on q
man as reading
This, Of course, only If a man Is a
reader born, and If, what is perhaps
more important, he does not in early
middle age become a victim of perni-
cious anemia of the brain.
These two considerations require elu-
cidation. There are millions of persons
who read who are not born readers
They read for any one of variety OF
reasons. They can do 1t, for one thing
and almost anything which human
being can do, If he can do 1t reasonably
we'll, he will care for, to some degree, at
least.
It is the fashion. Every one reads. It
becomes a cult with some, so that many
men and women profess to be fond OF
reading when they are not, in fact
even slightly enamored of the habit.
Reading also has ramihcations which
enter into the working life Of most OF
us. Thus millions find it profitable to
read, not only newspapers and maya
zines, but books as well.
x x X -
But the born reader is he who finds
as he grows older. that no form OF
amusement can take the place OF
reading.
He has no blindness about his books
They are recreation, pure and simple
but often much more, too. That Is one
reason why they are glorious.
He tries the theater, the movies,
automobiling, polo-anything and every
thing perhaps-only to come to the con-
clusion, although in different way, OF
the prominent aviator who declared that
there was no thrill in aviation to equal
the excitement of good game of chess.
to a born bookman, the happiness of
great novel, or fine biography, or
real history.
Perhaps it may be necessary, at this
point, for the benefit of a few, to
consider the real import of books. Per-
hsps some one, thinking of school days,
is shocked at the stress put upon them
as recreation.
This state of mind may arise from a
lessened estimate of recreation. When
1t is written recreation" it becomes
something far different, In the general
sense, from when it is written simply
recreation"

When one re-creates himself, his
spirit, his happiness, his general WELL
being, his interest in life, he may be
said, in all fairness, to be doing vastly
more than amuse himself
Yet, at bottom, if he tries to be fair,
he knows that interest lies deep in
the heart of his happy problem.
He knows that every book, to be a
good book for him, must interest him,
In some way, whether as a story, as q
piece Of writing, as adventure, as In
formation, as instruction.
All the other factors are dependent
on interest, and interest, in the last
analysis, is recreation. And this phase
