Capital Sidelights
BY WILL p. KENNEDY

Members Of Congress are of in
their own baIliwicks these DAYS en-
gagged mostly in campaigning for re-
election-but some of them indulging
in their special hobby-it may be
cliff dwelling or it may be yachting
for most Of the members Of the legiS-
lative branch of this Government do
have a pronounced hobby.
There's Representative A Piatt
Andrew OF Salem and Gloucester,
Mass. an outstanding economist. He
taught that subject at Harvard was
editor Of publications for the National
Monetary Commission. director of the
mint. Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury. had a distinguished war
record and an even more enviable
record in Congress His achieve
ment in which he delights most is
that he is a cave dwelIer-built his
own home on the face of the rock
overlooking Gloucester Harbor. He
started building 1t in his college days.
and while he has had help Of stone
masons and other artisans, much Of
the building and all Of the designing
are the work of his own hand and
brain. He is not yet satisfied with
his mansion. but keeps adding cham
bers and balconies and sun porches
from year to year and introducing new
features to amaze his guests.
The entrance is spooky-especially
II YOU are invited for an evening
party-you enter through a dense
tangle OF underbrush by a winding
path, your way lighted by occasional
lamp posts in the woody tangle. The
house itself is quite substantial,
mostly stone work-there are two
outstanding features-most Of the
chambers are shelves in the side of
the rock and face the beautiful
harbor and the ocean beyond. and
the entire establishment is a wonder
land of secret chambers, sliding
panels, and trick lighting effects,
Utmost seclusion is one of the char
acteristics. When the Representative
is at home he need not fear for un-
welcome intrusion. When he has
been in bathing he can sun himself
on walled-in shelf of rock like a
cave, but ornated and fitted up like
a palace. He has several grand re-
ception rooms, with tiled floors and
beautiful mosaic decorations-and for
the diversion of his guests pushes a
spring and the entire side of the
room slips, away giving them an out
look that only Nature itself at its
best could furnish-a moonlight
scene across the harbor.
The Andrew menage boasts many
art treasures. Colonial pottery and
pewter and brass-the figure heads
of wrecked vessels. museum pieces of
every kind and description-statues
hidden in the shrubbery, Buddhas,
Psyches, gnomes-furniture with a
hiStory-and one entire chamber
filed with relics of the World War
an ex-service mans paradise-but
this treasure trove is reached only by
secret steps and through sliding
panels and by the pressure of hidden
springs.

The General Strike.

President william Green of the
American Federation Of Labor has
taken a strong stand against the
sympathetic strike as unwise, hope
less and dangerous. His statement on
the subject, made after the general
strike in San Francisco had been
called off-though it might better
have been issued earlier-is in accord
with the overwhelming public opinion
of the country. manifested in San
Francisco to the point that this ex-
treme measure of coercion, adopted
through the influence OF the more
radical element, was abandoned.
Mr.. Green strikes a note Of wise
leadership when he says: THE sym
pathetic strike is Immediately ac-
cepted as a challenge to government
and, because the government must be
supreme, It is compelled TO bring all
its resources into action" He knows,
as do the people Of the country at
large, that the sympathetic general
strike is a measure OF revolution, an
attempt TO defeat the forces OF law
and order by terrorism inflicted
upon all the people for the pretended
sake of the few who are at issue with
their employers in single trade or
occupation.
Whatever the grievances Of the
longshoremen in San Francisco, they
were not such as to warrant a decla-
ration of war against the community
on the part of all the trades and
crafts. Those grievances were capa-
BILE of adjustment without the invo-
cation of such a dangerous force as a
general strike, force that was GER
tain to react as severely upon the
working people themselves as upon
others.
These words by the head of the
American Federation of Labor should
reach the understanding of all,
whether organized into unions or not,
whether workers or consumers. arti-
sans or to much greater number out
side of those organizations:
That (the general strike) means
that the workers on strike are no
longer fighting against the employers
who are responsible for creating the
original issue which caused the strike,
but instead the fight is between the
city, the State and Federal Govern
ments on the one side and the strik-
ers on the other. Every one must
know and understand that in such a
conflict the Government must win; it
must establish its supremacy, and
usually the result of such a conflict
is that the Government wins. the
strikers lose, and the employers
against whom the original strike was
directed become the beneficiaries.
Radicalism in any form is organ
lied labor's worst enemy. 1t was
radicausm that promoted the general
strike in San Francisco. The pur-
pose of those who advocated and OBJ
tanned the order for the general strike
was. not primarily 10 win the fight of
the longshoremen, but to preclpitate
civil war for the defeat Of the estab-
ushed order in this country. 1t was
indeed so stated by zealots, The
strike was a challenge 10 the Gov
ernment, and its defeat was a victory
for the Government.

''The man who graduates from COL
lege or university today and stops
learning tomorrow is -neducated the
day after,
This challenging assertion comes
from the lips Of no less an authority
than Newton D Baker, World War
Secretary Of War.
His statement has been received
as a sort of keynote by leading edu-
Gators. II is recognized as crystal
lizing in a brief sentence the whole
problem Of obsolescence in education
the growing stale Of what might be
termed ripened learning. It Is all
due to the allegro tempo of the
times. II was not so very long age
that especially ambitious students
who took postgraduate courses were
referred 10 as completing their edu-
cations" That was. in a measure
possible A diligent student, by taking
a certain number of college courses
could attain a fairly well-rounded
knowledge Of what the world had to
teach. It is only a few hundred
years ago that II was possible for
a man to read every book that ever
had been written and still was cxtant
in the world. Erasmus was such a
man and so we're Duns Scotus and
Peter Abelard Then the time came
when it was said that II man read
all day long every day In the Biblio-
theque Nationale In an attempt to
master the worlds learning, he would
still be reading in the first alcove
when he completed his normal life
span.
But today one can no more than
master the merest outline Of what has
gone before. 1t takes all his effort,
after he has covered the groundwork
of learning. to catch up today with
what happened yesterday or this aft
ernoon with what happened this
morning.
So 1t is that the leading educators
Of the Nation feel that they are con-
fronted with a genuine problem in so
arranging school courses that gradu-
ated students will be anything like
abreast Of the advance Of learning
It is because now learning is reaching
forward in more directions and with
greater rapidity than ever before.
Problem Grows Constantly.
From the beginning Of the Govern
ment, the subject of education has
had the solicitude of the Congress
and both houses have standing COM
mittees devoted to its welfare. The
Federal Government has an ONCE OF
Education under commissioner and
expends considerable sums. While
education has been considered the
special province of the States, still the
Federal Government has always main
tanned a general interest. There is a
good deal of agitation In favor OF a
larger share OF responsibility being as
sumed by the Federal Government,
and this has intensified during the
last two or three years because OF the
difficulties the States and local COM
munities have experienced in meeting
the costs Of education.
Perhaps 1t is not generally realized
that education is one OF the largest
industries in the Nation. Some 900,-
900 men and women are engaged In
the instruction Of the young, and
counting teachers and students of all
ages, it is found that one-quarter OF
the entire population is closely
touched by the problem. 1t may sur
prise some readers to know that the

RADlCALISM

A Washi. .ngton dispatch reports that
business and administration leaders are
moving toward a common front in an eff
fort to cash in on present recovery gains
rs an answer to prospective left-wing
drives in Congress"
If this is true it simply indicates that
business and administration leaders are
showing excellent good sense.
A great deal has been said about the
radicals who viii be at large in the next
Congress. and q great deal more has been
said about the wild and woolly legislation
they will try to put through. The thing to
remember is that all this is a direct result
Of economic pressure.
The one sure way of heading off such
radicalism is to hasten recovery. Let un-
ployment approach the vanishing point and
profit return in good measure, and the
the treat Of radical legislation will vanish
OF its own accord.

ROYALTY PUTS ON A SHOW

The chief function Of royalty in this

wealth of stories that are getting in the

buying her rousseau. We are getting full
details on the afternoon frocks, morning

U. s. IN

The United States seems to have reeeiv-
ed title, or something resembling 1t, to a
considerable quantity Of new land. Ad-
miral Byrd, having explored a large stretch
Of hitherto undiscovered land in the Ant
arctic, claims it for the United States in the
traditional manner.
All in all, now. this country has a more
or less valid claim to some 200. 900 square
miles in the vicinity Of the South Pole.
To be sure, there is precious little to
show that this land is ever going to be
worth anything to us. Even If the frozen
soil should be found TO be rich in mineral
wealth, for instance. Antarctica is a NOR
tally cold sort of place that might easily
resist development TO the end of time.
Still, with the world almost completely
mapped and surveyed. it is somehow
thrilling to be able to claim new territories
in the ti%me-honored way-by right Of dis
covery.

and Of Hygeia, the Health Magazine
Everywhere you look today are advertisement. an
nouncements and promotional material Of food fad
dists.
To push their ideas they must have some unusual
notion Of what happens to the food in the human
body. They do not hesitate 70 contradict establish
ed facts Of science and established knowledge OF years.
The average human stomach reacts in a certain
definite way TO most food substances. There are, Of
course, variations.
The amount Of time required for the stomach 70
empty itself depends largely on the kind OF food put
into 1t. Most persons have a digestive time In the
stomach OF about four hours.
An investigator recently studied the digestion OF
meat as a protein and Of potatoes as a carbohydrate
in a number Of invalids, He found that there is no
incompatibility between meat and potatoes or be-
tween proteins and carbohydrates in general.
Nevertheless. there are a half dozen food faddiSts
who insist that IL is not well to mix ~proteins and car
bohydrates and that such mixtures are responsible for
a large amount Of illness.
The stomach, even In persons with fairly serious
illness, proceeds quite promptly 70 break up meat H.
bers when they reach II. 70 also acts al the same
time ON the carbohydrate.
In so persons who suffered from various chronic
diseases, one-fourth Of a pound Of hamburger steak
was digested in 3 hours and so minutes.
One-fourth Of a pound OF hamburger steak and
one-half Of a pound Of mashed potatoes was digested
in , hours and "a minutes. When q small amount OF
butter tabout three ounces) was added 70 this mix
tuTe, the time was heightened 70 four hours and two
minutes.
As a result Of all these Investigations. IL was found
that there was no evidence at all to indicats that
proteins and carbohydrates are incompatible In the
stomach.
II Is quite likely that many people overeat, and that
these people do better with a leSsened amount or car
bohydrates. However, control OF the diet Is a serious
matter. and it is not we'll for people to be guided BY
those selling strange notions without scientific
background.
Finally, it is a wea-established fact that nature
itself mixes proteins and carbohydrates. and that
practically every food We eat is a mixture Of such
basic substances.

er's income indirectly, by raising the prices
Of the things he sells, rather than by its di-
rect payments; and in this field, too, the
record is not half bad.
Farm income for the current year is es-
timated at $4,000, 600, 900, which is about
10 per cent above the 1888 total and some
