Cool Water Under All il Flags " Tn ancient Egypt water was boiled, then put into earthen jars on the house top at night to cool. In the day the jars were bound with fresh green plants and sunk in the earth to cool. The Arabs use bot- tles or bags of goatskin called “alcorrazzas™—a small portion of the water exudes from the bag and evaporates. The Moors introduced into Spain the earthen jug for cooling -called “bucaro In Guinea they fill gourds and suspend them all night from the outer branches of trees. In.

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Tomorrow, March 10, marks the sec- lond month of the occupation of the Ruhr. It finds both France and Ger- many with their teeth set. Grim French determination faces bulldog German resistance, h side undoubtedly is eager for a development that would breuk the deadlock.

There are a good people, among them supporters of the administration, who think it is making a mistake in not publicly setting forth-—; the British premier has done—why it is the United States n do nothing. The cabinet knows why: the members of Congress inter- ested in foreign affairs know why; vlenty of newspapermen in Washing. ton know why, and others, whose business it is to be “in the know,” un- derstand the administration’s 'posi- tion. But the country at large does not; meantime Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughes continue to be berated for o-nothingism” in the Buropean No Sign of Weakening. At this hour the United States sces no categorical sign of weakening ei- ther at Berlin or Paris. Chancellor Cuno's speech in the reichstag on Tuesday evoked unanimous support in Germany. Premler Poincaro con- tinues to command the greatest unan- }imity in the French chamber of depu- jties and in the country that France hag exhibited since the armistice, There are suggestions from PBaris that M. Briand, deposed from the premicrship by M. Polncare on a rep. arations issue, is sharpening his ax and preparing to undermine the gov- ernment’s Ruhr policy if it does not produce results reasonably soon. But to date Poincare represents a united France, French honor and national sentiment are engaged to the nth degree. Every Frenchman knows that it has cost the republic already many times more than any “repara. tions” resultant from the gceupation, But the Gallic rooster has his spurs sunk deeply in the German eagle's back and is loathe to withdraw them hout tangible evidence of vic- tory, Meantime America_cannot move to help either party.
