rse L ] FIJl ISLANDS ACT LIKE THERMOSTAT Climate Regulates Self at Ideal Temperature Due to Pe- culiar Geography. WANT TO JOIN CANADA Trade With Maple Leaf Dominion Grows Rapidly. Fijl wants Canada; will Canada have Fiji? That will be the question before the foreign office at Ottawa If the movement on the famous cannibal | islands to join Canada, as Hawall Jolned the United States, develops to 1ts logical end. “Terrors of Fiji's fierce savages, a name to chasten children, have given way before the nameless dreamy charm which now wraps the islands of the South Pacific,” a bulletin from the Washington, headquarters of the XNational Geographic Society says, and continues: Jannibalism Only a Memory. Though old men still live who con- fess knowledge of the taste of cooked human flesh, they, like their sons and daughters, have become good, | @biding Christians. Today their te pers are as equable as the climate of this twentieth century Eden. “The Fiji group is 600 miles from Samoa. It proudly claims the world's ‘unique self-regulating climate. A thermostat on a modern heating plant could do no more. When it is hot the corrective comes automatically. Heat brings coolness from the mountains. Dryness brings rain. Stilinéss brings the breeze, a Fiji enthusiast avers. Protecting nature has even gone 8o far as to build coral dikes against &NErY Wwaves almost compietely around the main island, Viti Levu. Extremes of temperaturé are 59 de- Brees and 94 degrees. Good in Hurricanes. “But every Eden has its serpent, Which, in Fiji's existence, takes the Zorm of a hurricane. These disturb- @nces are affectionately known as “blows.” 4 “Hurricanes cannot jar the mental gerenity of Fiji residents, one of ‘Whom claims ‘blows’ are not an un- mixed evil, maintaining that: ‘They 8tir things up.

Levu, capital and one of two towns in the group, s on the south side of Viti Levu. To this small town have lately come the reverberations of a world event which bids fair to put Fiji on the map commercially This “was the| opening of the Panama canal. Be- | feore this event Fiji was as far off the world trade routes as Robinson Cru- soe's {sle. But now it is on the trav- eled path between England and her {mportant possessions, Australia and New Zealand. “Ships having given Fijl a reason for commercial existence, the islands have striven gallantly to produce sugar cane, coffee. copra, cotton, rub- ber and cattle. The odds are against Fiji In two respects—native philoso- Phy insists that life is made for fun and frolic and the warm tropics con- spire to produce pests as generously as plants. In the tropics, it is said, there Is no ointment without its fly; sugar cane had its labor shortage, the banana its bore: coffee its leaf disease, cotton the capricious Amer- ican market and cocoanuts the hurri- cane. In spite of these obstacles Fiji's exports rose from $6.000.000 in 1918 to nearly $12,000,000 in 1921.

From the Detroit News. So easily counterfeited were the first lots of paper money issued by the United States government In the '60 that spurious bills flooded the country. Countless astute business men were victimized. Finally, to balk the criminals, a book called “Heath's Infallible Gavernment Counterfeit De- tector at Sight" was published in 1870. In those old days money was print- ed on ordinary paper, which counter- feiters could easily obtain or imitate, and consequently such a book as “Heath's Detector,” which concen- trated on the designs on the bills, was needed. Now, however, a special brand of paper, with special water marks, whorls and embedded tiny silk threads, is used. This paper cannot be imitated by the counterfeiter and such a hook as the “Detector” is not now needed. The book, published by Laban Heath & Co. of Boston and Washing- ton, claimed to be “the only infallible method” of detecting counterfeit notes and bonds with “genuine de- signs (which were mutilated) from loriginal government plates by au- thority from the United States Treasury Department and the Ameri- can, National and Continental Bank Note Companies of New York and Boston.” —_— TEAPOT DOME LEASE DECLARED HANDLED UNKNOWN TO CABINET (Continued from First Page.) serve No. 1, the so-called Elk Hill fields, in California, to the Doheny interests, and later of naval reserve No. 3, the so-called Teapot Dome property, in Wyoming, to the Sin- clairs. As the practice of leasing oil lands under the act of Congress had become a “departmental affair” of the Secre- tary of the Interior, Fall proceeded to deal with the Dohenys and the Sinclairs for the naval oil reserves as a ‘“departmental affair.”” When the cabinet learned about these deals there was, of course, no breath of suspicion that corruption had oc- curred. Some members of the cabinet were surprised that Fall had not disposed of Teapot Dome and Elk Hill as a result of public bids, but it was their understanding that soundings max by Fall had proved “unsatisfactor and that the pronositions made by the Sinclairs and the Dohenys were in every way profitable for the govern- ment. That was the explanation vouchsafed at the White House to inquirers when the Teapot Dome transaction became a matter of gen- eral public knowledge. Coolldge WIIL Act. It can be stated on high authority chat the Coolidge administration, like the country at large, has been pro- foundly shocked by the mere sus- picion that has become attached to a one-time cabinet officer. It is said to be virtually the first case on record— barring an alleged instance in one of the Grant administrations—that a federal official of the rank of chief of an executive department has been ac- cused, even by innuendo, of corrupt practices. The Coolidge *cabinet is made up of the same men who consti- tuted the Harding cabinet. These men are keenly alive to the indireet dis- credit that public opinion to a certain extent already is inclined to cast upon them as a whole. Because this situation has come about. it can be stated unequivocally that President Coolidge will leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom of the Fall-Sinclair-Doheny business. Calvin Coolidge s actuated by two motives in assuming that attitude. In the first place, his whole personal and political make-up is such that he is_intolerant of anything remotely savoring of corruption in public of- fice. His closest friends say Coolidge will shrink from nothing to stamp such corruption out, once discovered. But he is not a panicky person and he is also a lawyer, and the President will do and demand nothing for which there is dot the fullest’ war- rant. In addition to the Coolidge impa- tience with crookedness in office, he knows this Is 1924. He is aware of the legitimate use the democratic party could make in the presidential campaign of demonstrated republican malfeasance, and, particularly, of any avidence of republican “pussyfooting” in dealing with it. It is because of such considerations that the country confidently may await the right kind of action at the right time by Calvin Coolidge. (Copyright, 1924.) into a high pompadour.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 22.—Two months ago the upper half of New York was appalled at & report show- ing how the lower ha!f lived. The revelation of slum conditions was one of the most shocking things which had come to the metropolls in af decade. Today there has come & rev- elation equally startling and, in a sense, contradictory. It is the state- ment by the health department that New York will show for 1923 prob- ably the lowest death rate of any large city in the world. Deaplte the revolting housing con- {ditions of many sections of the teem- ing East Side, it {s announced that contagious diseases, espectally among children, have virtually been wiped out. Diphtheria, once the dread of overy mother, is about to be erased from consideration. The death rate from the disease has become all but negligible. This has been, accom- plished, it s stated, through the esting system' and the in- jections of “toxin-antitoxin to ap- proximately 500,000 children in the city during the past five yvears. “This favorable result,” sald the health report, “leads us to assume an optimistic attitude as to the total extinction in the near future of diphtheria as a cause of death among children of this city Other Dizeases Drop. The past year has shown also a tre- mendous drop in the death rate from other child diseases such as measles, Including also diptheria, the reduc- tion in the number of deaths, during the year was 1,227, The year just closed was the health- lest New York has known in the 125 years since the registration of the causes of death was begun. The rate was 11.72 per thousand of population. It is estimated that preventive meas- ures of health preservation sanita- tlon resulted in the saving of more than 120.000 lives during the year. Some European cities have claimed in the past a fractionally lower death rate than that shown for New York in 1923, but the health department here does not belleve that the statis- tics have been compiled with the isame care which has been taken in' the showing made here in New Yok under the most difficult of hoysing conditions, 1s one of which the en- tire nation should be proud. New York is the dumping ground here in the thousands and most of them huddle together in the hoveis of the East Side. They come with vary- ing ideas of health and strange and incongruous customs of life. That New York has been able to assimilate these people and malntain the sani- tary conditions which have made the low death rate possible is an achieve- ment which augurs well for the pro- langation of human life in the future. The feature of the vital statistics for 1923 which gives greatest joy to the health officers of the city is the reduction shown all along the line in the death rate among children. Twen- ty-five vears ago more than 200 out of every thousand children born in the city died in infancy. During the year 1923 there were but sixty-six ing of the infantile death rate has been accomplished in the face of the most terrible living conditions, where it has been shown that as many as fourteen persons, adults and children | alike. have been’compelled to live in two small rooms. Cancer Greatest Comcern. Middle and old age have not fared so well as the children. The disease | which is giving the authorities the | greatest concern is cancer. It is steadily increasing. despite the mil- lions of dollars that are being spent in research and _experimentation. Even for the new X-ray apparatus, announced for the first time today. the public has been cautioned not to expect too much. The new lamp promises a quickening of treatment, but it remains to be seen if it will be more efficaclous. During 1923 there were 343 more deaths from cancer in New York than in 1922, Chronic degenerative diseases, such as organic heart and kidney affec- tions and hardening of the arteries, also showed a tremendous gain, re- sulting in 1,174 more deaths in 1923 than the vear before. No explanation is given as to the causes of these increases, except that medical sctence has not yet devised the best means of dealing with such diseases. Healthier children, it is hoped, will grow into healthier adults, and thus, in the end, prove less vul- nerable fo the maladies which now i take such a heavy toll of middle ana o scarlet fever and whooping cough. | this city.

This was the experi- ence which befell a young Chinese woman here. She had chopped oft her left hand and two toes from her left foot in an attempt at suiclde and, reported dead from shock and loss of blaod, the “body” was sent to the government morgue. While an attendant was removing her clothes the woman rubbed her eyes, sat up on the table and loudly | protested against what she described as the man’s unseemly conduct. Bad- ly scared, the attendant dived under the table and set up cries of “Ghost!" Other attendunts rushed into the morgua, where they found the young woman, pale and frightened, sitting upright on the table and moaning. A doctor was called in, examined the woman and then ordered her re- moval to a hospital, where she is making rapid progress toward re- covery. e TAX PLAN DEBATED ON FLOOR OF HOUSE (Continued from First Page.) cent, Mr. Garner asked the repub- licans if they were willing now to support the Mellon 25-per-cent maxi- mum, ‘contrary to what you did then. “As a matter of fact” he continued, “we democrats haven't any conclusive argument for reducing the surtaxes at all.” Mr. Garner insisted that if the tax! revision were left to a vote of the republican _members of the Housc alone the Mellon bill would be de- feated. After the Texas representative had surrendered the floor Chairman Green told the House that in his half-hour talk Mr. Garner had failed to present a single argument. Mr. Green denied that he was “tied down” and pointed as evidence of his freedom of action his insistence from the start that the committee should make whatever changes in the Treasury draft it might see fit. “This "bill should be considered in a non-partisan manner,” he added. | “But it won't be, because the gen- tleman from Texas imagines he can make politica) capital out of It. He'll find, though, that he can't.” The House ways and means com- mittee proceeded today with consid- eration of the miscellaneous tax rates, leaving the fate of the Mellon Woposal for revision of income taXes undetermined, while the demo- await the definite termsi for a compromise which they suggelfed vesterday, when Chairman Green ‘proposed that the committee a non-partisan bill. Representative Garner, Texas, rank- ing democrat on the committee, fold the chairman his party members would stand by the democratic tax revision plan until higher surtax rates than proposed by Mr. Mellon are put forward, and the republicans to- day sought to work out a plan for determining upon & “rate schedule which could be forced through com- |mittee on majority vote. Such a course, however, would send the fight jon the revenue bill to the floor of the House, which the republican leaders are striving to avoid. In the face of compromise propos- lals by House republicans, Secretary Mellon informed callers today that \he saw no reason for a compromise fon the Treasury plan and that he could not withdraw from -the position he has taken relative to reduction of the higher brackets of surtaxes. The Secretary feels, however, that lit ‘was a question entirely for Con- {gress to decide. He saw Representa- tive Watson of Pennsylvania, a re. |publican member of the ways and !means committee, today, but said the conference was not primarily one of taxes, although he made it known {to Mr. Watson that his position was unchanged.

The New York representative cited as means by which high incomes es- cape taxation Investment in tax- exempt securities, division of estates, incorporation, deduction of losses, a failure to take profits, investme abroad and permitting profits to a cumulate there and failure to make productive use of existing capital, “Shut one door,” he said, “and an- other will be fodnd. The fundamen- tal fact is that taxation at exces- sive rates {8 unproductive. Mr. Mills declared th, bill would apportion 70 per cent of the reduction in income taxes to rackets of $10,000 or less, with less than 5 per cent in those ovér $100,- 000. “In other words “those taxpayers having 88 per cent of the national income and paying only 22 per cent of the income tax would benefit to the .extent of 70 per cent of the reduction, while those having 3 per cent of the national in- come and paying 28.11 per ceat of the tax would receive 5 only."” The Garner plan was presented to the Senate today by Senator Jones, demo- crat, New Mexico, with tables {0 show its effect upon various classes of tax- 'Treasury tax * he explained, per cent Mellon's recent statement on per,” Senator Jones told the Senate, “but that should not prevent us from giving it calm study.” He declared the Mellon plan was prepared prior to the convening of Congress with a view to forcing its acceptance “in toto.” and its provi- sions were withheld until “the mi- s leader in the House and his iates began to seek detalls by pendent inquiry.” “The great Secretary says the Gar- ner plan is insincere,” the New Mex- ico senator said, “apparently because of the importance given to small in- comes.
