If ever a strike got off to a bad start it is the strike of the railway shop- men, which began today. It is in de- fiance of the government of the United States, and consequently in deflance of the public opinion of the American people. The shopmen now will lose the advantage of whatever merit there may have been in their contention, for they have gone on strike without hav- ing exhausted all possibilities of peace- | ber of her sons holds a high place And no strike thusjamong the states for successful work zunched can expect to have, or ought { done by capable politicians. ful settlement. to have, popular support.

The movement has advanced beyond the stages of a seasonal “fad,” and as long as there is government land vacant und dedicated for the purpose there will be found gardeners ready and willing to undertake its cultiva= on. Drive down around Hains noint, in East Potomac Park, any afternoon, and one finds scores of men, women and even children busy with the hoe and rake among the neat rows of toma- toes, beans, corn, eggplant and every other varlety of vegetable which can be grown in the soil and climate pe- culfar to this part of the country.

The land in East Potomac Park, com- prising in all forty acres, Is cut up into 400 garden ‘plots. which are worked and to all intents' and pur- { poses owned by the 400 members of the Potomac Garden Club. On thef land in Anacostia which is being de- | veloped by United States Army engl- neers there is another plot, divided into 250 gardens, which is worked by the 250 members of the Anacostia Plot Garden Club. The land in both cages comes under the jurisdiction of Col. C. O. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, who ; in turn has turned it over for the! time being to the Department of Ag- riculture. lowing winter. The financial return from the work is worth mentioning. | Last year the proceeds from the Ana- costla gardens netted the owners ap- proximately $20,000—the yield per plot both in the Anacostia land and the Potomac grounds ranging from $50 to more than $125—not a bad Teturn on a season’s recreation. The gardens this year are reported in excellent conditfon, and a glance at the growing crops will justify the prediction that this year's yield will beat the per plot growth of last sum- mer. The membership in either club, with the resulting ownership of a plot of ground, may be obtained by the payment of $5, which covers every expense in connection with the work and gives the gardener a card of identification, or permit.

The members of the House, school- boy fashion, made a rush for home as soon as released from their duties. Some have been renominated, and will take up with their lieutenants plans for election. In other cases primary campaigns are in progress, and candi- dates for renomination will take charge in person of their own ihter- ests. In all cases the six weeks’ vaca- tion will afford opportunity for much hard work. But how about the return to work on Capitol Hill when the vacation ex- pires? Will there be a rush then? Probably not. August 15 will show everything in full swing. Stumpers will be abroad. Brass bands will be abroad, and making music of another kind. Voters will be stirred up with “appeals to reason.” It will be an awkward time for leaders to suspend activities and hand over the reins to seconds in command- But, no matter how reluctantly, the leaders must suspend at,home, and renew their activities here. The bonus bill and the merchant marine bill must be disposed of before the session ends, and there is debate in both.

Hague Conference May Re- move Obstacles. With the opening of the conference at The Hague the editors of the coun- try seem disposed to hold a post mortem on the recent bankers' meet- ing in Faris. For the most part they scem convinced that the plan for an international loan to stabilize ex- change, which fell through because the financiers could not reach an agreement, on suggestions for neces- sary security, merely has been de- ferred, and not killed. With the views of the bankers known to the world, it is believed that new negotiations to meet their views will be a part of the conference now in progress at The Hague. “aAmerica is willing to lend to Ger- many to help the world in general,” the Indianapolis News believes, “but | Germany for Germany's advantage alone. If Germany is helped it should be helped into a condition where it can pay its debts. Again it comes down to a question of good faith.” The various conflicting positions! and claims make it-impossible for the United States to loan money to Germany, in the opinion of the Mo- bile Register, which insists that, in order to prepare even a groundwork for such a move, “the allies owe it to themselves to make their financial program more definite and Germany owes it to herself to revise her cur- rency and render her assets more orderly.” Americans as a people, while not concerned officially in the fate of the European peoples, are willing, the Terre Haute Star be- lleves, to “give assistance to the ex- tent that helpfulness is justified. Eu- rope knows exactly what is our proposition in regard to a loan, and it is a sound one. They can take it or leave it.” { Germany expects to receive substantial aid and to climb back into the international band wagon,” the Cincinnati Enquirer is convinced, ‘“she must come clean with repara- tions and do some vigorous financial housecleaning at home.” The atti- tude of the French government toward the loan, however, Is re- sponsible for its fallure, the Canton News points out, as “banking is strictly a business proposition,” and the bankers would “like to improve security for a loan to Germany by getting some relief from the mort- gage placed on Germany by the peace treaty. The French government stands in the way of this desire of the bankers.” A similar view is enter- tained by the Winnepeg Tribune, which suggests that “it is just upon the point of the translation of the whole question from _the political sphere to the realm of finance, that the proposition for a foreign loan has failed for the time being, and again it is France that blocks the way to her own loss and the con- tinued distraction of Burope.’ To insure success to any loan all of the European nations must make n- cessions, the Oakland Tribune be- lieves, pointing out that “it is plain that the allled nations do not view floating of the fropdsed loan as im- portant as their political . interests involved in' the program of repara- tions, That being the case, we should foel no regret that the loan project has been dropped. When the several nations involved are willing to yleld a little here and there in thelr po- litical aspirations in order to solve economic and financial questions, it will be time to talk of a loan the major part of v:l\:ch ‘must be floated he United States.” InEl'mel'I“m seems to be increasing, in the opinion of the Salt Lake City Desert News, that “the nations of the world .are losing the power of patience. The world is munllg: to. put off crises in the hope thal the future will Teveal some opportunity to evade them.” And the prevailing American attitude, the Manchester Union says, is “not one expressive of eagerness to intrude, to dictate, to force .ourselves upon Burope, but one of willingness to assist if, and when, assistance is ask and is practically possible.” But the Cleve- land Plain Dealer is convinced that “the certainty that thers will be no loan is discouraging.

If in the future the governments are disposed to meet the terms of the bankers the latter will be ready to renew their efforts.” | Cutting Out éch;ol Vacations? Some sort of an efficiency expert— we suppose he is some relative to the man who invented daylight-saving— has it all figured out that summer va- cations for school children are a bad thing, wasteful in time, in money and in energy. They ought, he figures, to be eliminated or shortened, the time saved being spread out over the year, in_shorter school days. We do not know but what the school day itself might well be shortened, so as to provide for a little less in- door cramming and a little more out- door frolic for the kiddies, but as for cutting out vacations, or making them any shorter than they now are, we are going to vote “nay” as long as| there is breath in our body.

To Clean Up the Oceap. Congress-is at last moving In the matter of oil pollution of ocean wat- ers. With the increasing use of ofl for fuel on ocean-going vessels, the nuisance is rapidly growing. We may laugh at the finicky woman who could not go bathing because another lady was using the ocean, but it is no laughing matter when an oily scum may be driven in by the breeze and render a popular beach absolutely impossible. Even that, however, is less serious than the now well marked injury to ocean food supplies and the frellly increased fire risk in oil-pol- uted harbors. It is not a case in which we may “clean up our own yard” and be rid of the trouble for ourselves, whether others act or not. We may clean up any particular spot, and within a short time the nuisance will come in from beyond our jurisdiction and be as bad as ever. All nations which make any considerable use of the |, ocean contribute to the pollution, and only by concerted action on the part of them all can it.be prevented. The House of Representatives has time nations for the purpose of de- vising measures ‘which the pollu- tion of navigaable waters by oll refuse may be controlled.

AMIXTURE of from 12 to 15 parts of air and 1 part of gasoline vapor does it. Motor gasoline has to be’ volatile, so that it will vaporize readily, but that is not all. The composition of that one part of gasoline vapor largely determines how well the motor performs. Motor gasoline must be more than just volatile; it should be properly balanced. It must contain the right proportion of light, intermediate and heavy constit- uents to afford instant ignition, abundant power and full mileage. “Standard” is a carefully balanced gasoline, which accounts for the consistently good results it i3 giving in tens of thousands of motors today.
