BOARD HOLDS OUT HOPE.

The proposal made by the Labor Disputes Board that it be permitted to arbrate the whole difficulty out of which has grown the general strike that has paralyzed San Francisco and other Bay cities ought to be accepted It is unthinkabe that so monstrous a weapon tieup of all industries, a forms of commerce and social activity, which is neither less than the general strike should be allowed to prevail in this country for any length of time Its potentiaties for evil for disaster, are 50 great to make mems hair rise. It is virtually . form of revolution
 AS have said before, we do not undertake to fix the responsibility for this condition As in all such matters there is undoubtedly fault on both aides. This however is time to split hairs over guilt, or its degree Let that be determined later if it is vital to either the processes of industry or the councils of labor Just the great necessity is to end the thing; to put bread back in the mouths of little children well as grown men and women; to start normal channels of society and commerce moving on a sound and rational basis.
 No body is better qualified to do that than the Labor Disputes Board which was appointed to its high task by Resident Roosevelt before he went on his wel-earned vacation. It can be depended upon to do justice to both employees and employers and to give that protection to the innocent public which is not possible as long the two groups give battle to each other Surely neither the unions nor the employees will reject its services.

Mime. Curie.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Mime. Curie is dead. All the world mourns the passing of this modest little woman who was per- haps the most distinguished of her sex in all the history of science role the story of research is high and bright.
 What should be matter of interest to all men and women is the fact that her distinguished did not interfere with Mime. Curies mission in life las woman Her life should be object lesson of significance those who contend that the duties and responsibilities of motherhood must be sac- rificed to career, Mime Curie knew love and accomplished daughters. and her domestic life was one of peace and quiet happiness
 This lady of the laboratory of Polish birth, born Marie Sklodowsk and a slip of a girl began the study of physics and mathematics. Her
 interest in science later took her to Paris where she continued her studies under trying circum- stances Perhaps it kindly Providence which led the youthful Marie to Paris, to it's great uni versity and to Pierre Curie, eminent young scien- tist whom later she married Together they became the discoverers of radum thus opening up new and tremendous possibilities in the fields of medicine surgery and research, giving to the world agent whose properties at this time cannot be estimated The honors which came to this lady delver into the secrets of Nature many and great, and well deserved. She was the first woman to be elected to the French Acadamey of Sciences was twice the winner of the Nobel Prize for outstanding accom- plishments in the field of chemistry, and was hon. ored by numerous colleges universities societies and nations
 True to the best traditions of her profession Mme, Curie gave her life a sacrifice for human
 ty, remaining at her elected post to the last despite
 the warning advice of her physicians redoubing ner efforts to the end that she might accomplish even greater things for mankind

Those German Microbes.
(NeW York Times.)


 The evidence that Germany has been experiment. ing in London and Paris to ascertain whether dead ly bacteria can be drawn by the suction of trains and fans into subways, there to become menace to civilians in time of war, must be strong indeed if MT. Wickham Steed is willing to give it space in reputable British magazine. No doubt long experience in appraisng rumors and spurious docu- ments led him to protect himself with the observa- tion that If the facts are not true they are well invented"
 But are they? It seems strange that the Ger mans should send hirelings to the Place de la Concorde or Charing Cross to test the multiplying power of a rather harmless micro organism in the Metropolitan or the Tube when they have ex celent underground railway of their own in Berlin As for the transmissiby of bacteria it is matter of elementary knowledge that any small particle can be drawn into tube, big or little, through which current is streaming. There is no need Ito confirm the automatic at the great risk of detection.
 So widespread is the belief that, in the next war cities be devastated by typhus infantile paralysis influenza tuberculosis and other nicabe diseases that the League of Nations could not ignore it. Ten years ago its Study Commission lon Chemical Warfare requested Professors Pfeffer Bordet Madsen and Cannon to report on the pos sibility of wholesale infection The response was reassuring Dropping bacteria laden bombs shells would be futile, for the simple reason that the shock of the discharge and the heat and violence lof the explosion would destroy all nearby life Glass globes filled with microbes and released from Iairplanes might be effective but the suns ultraviolet rays and the thousand and natural defenses provided by the open air would probably reduce the danger to the negligible.
 v3 The case is stronger for more direct methods Reservoirs and milk supplies might be polluted. But the daily tests of city water and milk made all over the world and the free use of chlorine in reservoirs would be safeguard. To release army lof typhus-carrying rats or clouds of pestlential insects would be perilous to the attacker to the attacked After considering all these possi- bilities the Leagues commission forced to the conclusion that our present knowledge of hygiene and microbioogy would limit the extension of any epidemic and that such epidemic would not have any decisive influence the issue of hos tites.'

MIR. BAKERS STUDY.

The visit of MT. Jacob Baker, Assistant Ad- ministrator of the Federal Emergency Relief Ad- ministration to Alaska is another evidence of the serious consideration that the Roosevelt Adminisra- ton giving to the Territory In the visit of Daniel c. Roper Secretary of Commerce, that started two weeks ago and will last another week we have another striking evidence Visitations here by members of the Presidents Cabinet are not everyday, nor every year events. And usually they made with other ends in view than pleasure trips or casual summer vacations. MT. Roper announced his was to acquire personal knowledge of the fisheries of Alaska particularly and to learn something at first hand of their administration by his representa- tives.
 MT. Baker, though not member of the Cabinet is next to the head of of the most important independent governmental agencies in Washington It is the agency charged with the vital duty of seeing that no American goes hungry, or lacks for shelter and clothing It furnishes direct relief and work relief to those who have no other source of aid. It has played stellar role in Alaska during the past several months. It will continue to func- ton for at least another year in similar fashion.
 It is to see how the EZRA can best perform the necessary functions in this Territory, how 1t can aid Alaskans help themselves, to solve problems of administration cut red tape to the minimum con- ssten with public policy to learn of the problems of relief and unemployment, to investigate suggested methods of initiating industrial development projects through relief funds, that MT. Baker has made the trip Gov Troy has extended to him the use ot all the facilities at his disposal Others will respond in like manner. In the brief time he has been able to aot to the visit, he undoubtedly will learn much of value to the EZRA and much that will expedite its own operations within the Territory.

ISAAC SOWERBY.

'Tke" Sowerby is more His passing yesterday in Seattle cast pail of sadness this community in which he had resided for many years Though he had been far from well for the past few years, few had any idea the nature of the trouble was so serious It shock to his friends here when word came that he dead.
 MT. Sowerby, or like" as he was known to most people, made friends easily and, because he was a real friend, kept them made. He was loved and respected by many and had few enemies. Though he was 70 years of age, one did not think him as old He had mastered the difficult art of growing old gracefully Gentle, kind considerate of his fellows, he always was. An ardent out of doors man with fondness for such pastimes as fishing and hunting he was true disciple of Isaak Walton and might have moved in the pages of the "Compleat Angler" He will be missed by many and his going will leave a void in the hearts of his friends.
