who feel that from the many physi-

been chosen who would fill the bill.
That attitude is understandable, and
it is a healthy sentiment which de-
mands community representation in
positions which directly affect the
welfare of the local community.
But science and medicine, espe-
cially, know no boundary lines. Public
health administration has become a
highly specialized branch of medicine
and there is increasing apd COM
mendable recognition of 1t as such
Washington has public health prob
lem of its own which demands treat
ment by a public health physician OF

qualifications. The committee o. local
physicians and the Commissioners
who asked their advice believe they
have found such man in DR.. George
c. Ruhland-and that is the element
which overshadows all others.
DR.. Rutland will come to Washing

which, it is hoped, Congress will not
permit to continue. He will under
take his important work with the
good wishes and the wholehearted
backing of the community he is to
serve.

Dwellers in a desert country, where

underground dens were gassed by the

frightened creature had stopped to
gather up before trying to escape.

matter may be of importance to stamp
collectors who feel they have been
sighted. but if this is the most seri-
GUS offense that his critics can fasten
upon Farley they had better forget
about 1t, lest they boost his stock
while seeking to batter it down"

that he remembered King George Of
England and suggests that, IF Mr.
Farley had included the King on his
list, it might have made diplomatic
relations easier for awhile"

Mr.. Farley acted without thought Of
disturbing any ones peace of mind
The simplest way out would be for
compilers of standard catalogues to re-

Relations With the Soviet.

There is apparently no present inten-
tion of severing diplomatic relations
with the Soviet Union, thus revoking
the recognition granted in November,
1888. But action just announced by
the State Department is significant
in the highest degree and its meaning
is not likely to be lost on Mr.. Lit
vinoff, the commiSSar for foreign af-
fairs in the Communist government.
Secretary Hull disclosed on Wednes-
day that the American consulate gen.
eral at Moscow Is to be abolished and
its staff withdrawn. That means that
the purely business branch of our
official establishment in the Soviet
capital is entirely done away with.
1t is notice that Soviet
trade relations are all but disrupted,
, though diplomatic relations are to be
continued with the prospective re-
turn of Ambassador Bullitt to his
post. AS a further token Of how the
Washington wind is blowing, the
acting American naval attache and
the Air Service attache are to be
withdrawn from Moscow and as
signed to other posts. Other reduc-
tions in the embassy personnel are
in prospect.
Meantime sentiment is manifested
in Congress in favor of breaking of
relations with the Soviet without
further ado. A formal resolution
looking to such action is pending in
the House Of Representatives and; its
sponsor, Representative Tinkham of
Massachusetts,, will ask for hearings
on the subject. This plan comedies
with Secretary Hull's suggestion, when
the debt and trade negotiations with
Ambassador Troyanovsky recently COL
lapsed, that the Export Import Bank,
created to finance business with the
Soviet, might as well put up its shut
tiers. Congress is also in doubtful
mood about going ahead with the
project to build a 81, 900 900 embassy
in Moscow.
The State Department has moved
with commendable decisiveness to let
Mr.. Litvinoff and his government
know the state of Washington's mind
toward their failure to live up to the
pledges given to this country when
recognition Of the Soviet was extend
ed. Since then no effort has been
spared by the United States to meet
Moscow's needs and wishes in a spirit
of fairness and generosity. That at
titude on our part having apparently
made no impression at the Kremlin,
it is possible that the steps the United
States is now taking may induce the
Soviet authorities to pipe a different
tune. They may cause Moscow to
realize that, no matter how desirable
exports to the U. S. S. r. may be from
the American standpoint, there Is a
price which we are not prepared to
pay for that business.

Favorite Dishes.

Food is central theme of life, and
psychologists have estimated that it
receives more consideration in the
mental operations Of the human race
than any other subject. Less substan-
tial things, it may be granted. attract
momentary attention, but the produc-
ton, preparation and consumption Of
edibles is a routine of constant daily
consideration.
The Detroit News recently printed a
food map of the United States, illus
trating the variety Of good things to
eat available within the continental
boundaries Of the Nation. Each in
dividual commonwealth, the chart
demonstrated, has at least one favor
ite dish for which it is deservedly ia
nous Baked beans, obviously repre-
sent the dietary preference Of Mas
sachusetts; pancakes and maple sirup
are the choice Of Vermont; beefsteak
pie is popular in Connecticut, and
clam chowder is judged delicious in
Rhode Island.
An aviator, flying from coast to
coast along the north route, might
be imagined as passing over tables
laden with ham and noodles and lob

fritters and bran biscuits in Wash

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

It is q curious thing. is it not, that
SO many people know more about you
than you do yourself?
They know not only what others do
but what they do not do; where they
60. where they do not 60.
They declare their ability to demon
strate where the victim is all at sea
in his daily life.
II he, poor chap, will but listen to
them, they will set him right by per-
mitting him to do as they do!
The basis of their overwhelming
know-it -all-ness is not really knowl-
edge, but just a sincere desire to take
fall" as they say, out Of another
human being.
They achieve this end. at least to
their own way Of thinking, by accusing
the fellow Of not doing what they do
This is the gist of the matter, al
though no doubt few of them would
call it fair to put 1t that way.
1t is too revealing, of course.
They prefer to look at it from their
own standpoint, that of omniScience
looking down on an erring world.
There is no office, governmental OF
otherwise, where there are not two
or three of these hardy souls who
attempt to set their fellow mortals
straight.
The thing would be bad enough II
they confined themselves to the things
they really know.
They would be wrong enough, in all
likelihood, when they did that, because
their deductions are no more invari-
ably right than those Of mos. people
Where they offend greatly is in their
bland assumption that they know a
great deal more than they do about
others
They know so much Chat they don't
know
They twist statements, made at
random, to suit themselves, then they
proceed to build out of their twistings
the most astounding edificeS.
Here is one who said, in an odd
moment, that he did not go to the
movies as much as once he did.
Pretty soon these distorters have
built up the story that he never goes
Now, never going to the movies is
q modern crime, is 1t not?
He who never goes-think Of 1t, my
dear, nevah!-is fit for treason
stratagem and Spoils, as silly old
party named Shakespeare once put it
Then the prosecuting (some say
persecuting) attorney makes the fol-
lowing irritating charge
"You ought to move around more. "
The fact that the victim may have
moved around exceedingly spryly
during the week Is no defense.
The prosecution has not heard OF
1t, that is all.
If'any one wants this type of pros
ecutor to clay of him" he must
have gone round with the prosecutor
else all the rest of his going round
will not count.
From an isolated statement, that
the victim-we insist on that-had
not gone to the movies recently as
much as he once did, the fellow draws
the gratuitous inference that he never
goes.
What he means, Of course. is that
he never goes with him!

The world may be divided into
two classes, in this matter, as in
many others.
There are, first, those who run
around with their ONCE associates.
There are, second, those who do
not.

Politics and Postmasterships.

The bill which has been introduced
in both houses OF Congress to extend
the classified civil service to post
masters of the first, second and third
classes would not become operative
until January /, 1888. But three years
is not too long to wait for such q
desirable objective as that to be
attained through passage Of this bill.
And there are practical considerations
which make the delay of three years
advisable. The bill breaks away en-
tirely from the conception of the
postal system as one of the most
fruitful orchards for cultivation Of
patronage plum trees and would prob
ably accomplish more toward increas-
ing It's efficiency as a business insti-
tuition, functioning wholly In behalf
of the Nation it serves, than any
other single step that could be taken.
Postmaster General Farley has given
the bill the backing of the administra-
ton. Its sponsorship by Senator
O'Mahoney, Mr.. Farley's former First
Assistant Postmaster General, should
be helpful. Two of its provisions are
especially interesting One Of them en-
courages the promotion of qualified men
within the postal service to postmas-
ters-a principle which always tends
to improve the public service wherever
it is applied. Another removes the
residence qualification from the fifty
two largest post Offices which each do
an annual business of million dollars
or more. This latter provision will
doubtless find many critics, even
among those who are willing to ac-
cept the bill in principle. But it is a
necessary provision if the conception
Of the postal service as an agency
serving the whole people is to pre-
vail and If the chief consideration for
public service, anywhere, is merit.
The bill should be placed high on
the administrations list Of must"
legislation at. this session. 1t has
been long time coming.

The New Health Officer

When a man is in real need of a
doctor he looks for the best doctor
available, regardless Of personal friend
ships and other considerations that
might ordinarily influence his choice
The Commissioners adopted the same
attitude when they went on hunt
for q new health officer. What is
more, they delegated the task Of find
ing the best man available to those
most competent to judge professional
qualifications and abided by the rec
concentrations of the committee OF
local physicians whom they selected to
advise them.
The Commissioners have escaped
any criticism which would have fol-
lowed had they permitted political
considerations to dictate the choice
of health officer. The only criticism
they may expect now is from those

Comparative Cost of Defense.

comparative Lost OF Detense.
From the New York Herald Tribune.
1t is perhaps sign Of the times
that even though the Presidents
budget message calls for an appropri-
alton for national defenses larger than
ever in our peace-time history, 1t
nevertheless consumes smaller pro-
portion of the total budget than do
the defense items Of other govern
ments. On the basis of the total
budget Americas defense appropri-
ations come to less than 10 per cent
This compares with 46 per cent for
Japan. France in 1884 devoted % per
cent of her budget TO national defense
and Italy 2OS per cent.
The chief reason for the increase
in the American defense item is the
need to make up for the inactivity
of the preceding administrations in
naval construction. AS the President
pointed out. the building schedule Of
naval vessels since the Washington
treaty was not ample enough to build
up our feet to treaty strength and
keep it there. Hence the present spe-
cial activity in naval construction.
The increase in the total items for
defense Is $3.50, ,000,0 900 over the current
fiscal year, and $313,0O0,oo0 over the
year before. bringing the grand total
to $792 100000.
This is a large sum-almoSt as large
as the interest charges on the public
debt or the cost Of the civil depart
ments of the Government. 1t is to be
hoped that within a few years the
world will have recovered its senses
and our defenSes will have been suf-
f1ciently strengthened-to make posi-
BILE a drastic reduction in this item Of

Barter for Warships.
From the Worcester Evening Gazette.

From the Worcester Evening Gazette.
Being a little short of cash at the
moment, the Brazilian naval ministry
has a simple scheme for building up
the republics sea strength. Brazil
has plenty Of cotton, lard, sugar and
various other products-plenty and
some to spare. So Protogenes Gui-
maraes, navy minister, wants to swap
cotton, lard, sugar and the like for
anything in the way of warships other
nations have to offer. He'll take sub
marines, submarine chasers, destroy
erS. auxiliary vessels and tank ships.
He'll probably take anything else, too.
That's comparatively easy, if Brazil
isn't fussy about the kind Of ships she
gets in the swapping process. Eng
land, the United States, Italy, Holland
and even Japan would doubtless wei
come the chance to palm of q few
obsolete vessels on the big South
American republic. And at that, de-
spite the fact that war craft swiftly
become obsolete, perhaps Brazil might
SCs ssSAOue41 w ACCP 4lCI up Will OIlll6
and the Argentine as naval power In
South America.
I There are difficulties. It takes q
prodigious amount of lard or sugar or
cotton to pay for even q second hand
warshtp. Most of the nations with
which Brazil might dicker are either
well stocked with their own agricul-
tlIra1 nr0dlIcts nr ara coy,,y,,; ;fted IN
buy them from their possessions. And
Just now, with prospects of q naval
building race by the big powers, any
ship Brazil could get for a reasonable
amount might be too far out of date
even for South American navy.
For the same reason, available facil-
tiles for building new warships are
being tentatively reserved in this
country, England, Japan and doubt
less elsewhere, but not for Brazil.
When demand is high is poor time
to 60 shopping In the warship market.
