The last week-end appears to have produced its share of automobile acci- dents and fatalities regardless of the unfavorable weather conditions. How the list might have looked had the wea- ther been such as to attract the usual large crowd out on the roads no one can tell. Perhaps there is reason for grat- Hfication that the result was no worse. Over the week-end seems to be the time when there is the largest number of highway users, when there is a de- termination to get somewhere regardless of the cost, when the disposition to take thances is more prevalent, when those who are committed to speed regardless of what happens and when the greatest number of those Wwho neither care for their own safety or that of others are abroad. When highway traffic is the heaviest it 1s to be expected that the number of accidents will increase unless a corres- ponding degree of care is manifested. ‘What might be done on a day of light travel cannot be practiced with the same degree of safety on the days when the highways are crowded. The quicker the reckless driver can be barred from the highways the better, but it is unfortu- nate that someone must suffer serious injuries and possibly death before the necessity for that action can be estab- lished. The almost dally auto accident cases cannot fail to teach others a lesson. From many Indlcations, however, the attitude of too great a number seems to be that such an acoldent “happened to them but it couldn’t happen to me,” and by the continuance of chance taking methods they sooner or later figure in the smashup that cripples someone else wven though they may get away with snly a scratch. The attitude is much the same as that which makes it apparent that too many people show no respect for the danger at a railroad crossing. It is the seem- Ing disposition to refuse to heed the warning after warning to be gotten from the experience of others that makes pos- sible the many accidents, the numerous Injuries and the too frequent tragedies. Wild driving s at the bottom of most of the accidents, THE WAGE REDUCTIONS. When the raflway labor board makes another reduction in the pay of raflroad employes it does so with the distinct feeling on the part of the majority of the board that conditions throughout the country justify it. The reductions are not heavy. They are downward in keep- ing with the tendency in industrial plants and in company with the drop in the cost of living. They are not as heavy as have been experienced by others in employment of a like mnature. board has taken care to point out that it would be possible for the road to obtain smployes to do the same work that is ixpected of their present men for lower wages. Thus there has been considera- tion given to those already employed, but with the reductions it gives the rail- roads an opportunity to provide such re- ductions in freight rates as have long been called for and as have been ordered | by the Interstats commerce commission, all of which is certain to have its ef- fects in giving the cost of living a fur- ther push downward, To suppose that the employes of the rallroads should be permitted to retain the peak of war wages, of mear that, would be to expect that there would be no curtaflment In the rates charged by the railroad, when it iy apparent that there is a pressing needed for lower rates, The cut in the pay of tha rallroad em- ployes means a gradual getting back to- ward normal, and through it the wemoval of those obstacles which prevent others trom getting away from the high prices. It is bound to have the effect of price cutting upon all consumers because of the lowered transportation charges and In the fixing of the new rates of wages the railroad labor board has responded to the conditions that were faced. It had a duty to perform and it has served 28 the arbiter of a question that involved the public as well as the employes of the railroads and the rallroad compan- les. There was the time when the board believed that wages should be sharply advanced and they were advanced. The board by its actlon is now fixing the wages in keeping with the changed con- @’'tions and the cut ordered is by no meang a radical one. ——e A GOOD BIGN. Progress of a definite character seems to have been made by the agreement which has been reached between the representative of the Mexican govern- ment and the international bankers con- cerning Mexico. It brings about that understanding which is beneficial for all. 1t leaves Mexico n a better light among other countries, especially creditor na- tiens, with more confidence manifested in the government and it puts that gov- ernment in a better position !5 handle ite financial problems. Thus With both s'des satisfled the result can be regard- ed as mutually beneficial, The successful conclusion of these ne- gotiations adds to the constructive work of tK¢ Obregon governiren:, and ghes proanise that it may bs the forerunmer recognition-of that government The | United States. It will not be because of this understanding with the bankers but through & similar methol of dealing with the facts fn the case that recogni- tion may be brought about. Mexico wants it and it knows how valuable it would be to it to have this country take such action. That Mexico hasn’t by this time met the reéquirements of this government seems to have been due to the fact that it has not been possible to bring the sen- timent in that country tothe point where it does not feel that it is ylelding to pressure by the United States. Politi- cal sentiment has to be dealt with there quite the same as elsewhers, and some idea of how it works can be gathered from the statement of Secretary of Fi- nance De la Huerta at the conclusion of the agreement when he declared “This does not mean defeat or victory for either side.” Through such an attitude the prospects of approval at home are undoubtedly improved, and if the same thing could be said of such a treaty as this country seeks before extending rec- ognition it seems not improbable that it would be forthcoming in a short time. A long step in that direction seems to have been made, however, by the financial parley’s result. It must at least be rated as a good sign for having recog- nized its debts it should be equally frank in recognizing its other responsi- bilities. A PUBLIC MENAOE. A matter which cannot fail to get se- rious attention is the situation which exists in regard to leprosy as disclosed by the federal health service. It will be a great surprise when that service re- vorts that, ag the result of a survey which has recently been made, there have been found 1200 cases of that dis- ease at large in 25 states, Leprosy 1is a disease communicable through contact and therefore one which calls for the isolation of those suffering from it. Certain states have malfntain- ed places at islands and points from which the general public has been pro- hibited and the aim has been to protect the many by restricting the faw. With 1200 at large and mingling with the public the prospects of wiping cut the disease doesn't appear good, In spite of the encouraging results which have been obtained through the use of that new oll treatment which is having such bene- ficial effects, Since this treatment can be carried on best at a central point and is confined chiefly to the federal Ileprosarium In Louisiana much dependsupon the capac- ity of that institution to receive patients. A number of states have abandoned their detention stations and transferred their patients to the southern state but where states are doing mothing at all to check the spread of this disease and it is im- possible for the government Institution to accommodate more than 200 it is evi- dent that there is little hope of improv- ing the situation until other hospitals for the treatment of the dissase are estab- lished, or the present one is greatly in- creased. Thst there are so many cases of the disease at large will be learned with surprise. It doesn't indicate interest in health and sanitation which it had been supposed prevailed throughout the eoun- try. Such a number is large enough to mean undesired Tesults if permitted to continue to endanger the health of the general public without effort to check it. The survey should mean an awak- ening that will obtain needed results. FINGER PRINTING. Some highly distressing mixups have occurred in maternity hospitals where the bables, many of which look alike, are assembled and the wrong ones re- turned to the mothers. This situation can best be appreciated in the large cit- ies where the number of cases is large and where the need of improvd methods of identification has existed for a long time, But it is not solely while a person Is in the cradle that there is a chance of being mistaken for someone. else, It is happening every day, and there are re- peated instances when relatives are un- able to decide in case of death whether the person is actually their kin or some- one closely resembling him. For the purpose of identifying erimi- nals the finger print system has come into general use. There is no good rea- son why it should be restricted to those who have gained a reputation for vio- lating the law. What is effective in such instances can be equally as certain for all others. Inasmuch as the finger print makes it possible to identify a person regardless of age it can be appreciated that the adoption of the plan in a New York hospital of having new born babes finger printed should serve not only to overcome the chance of mixing up the bables in that institution, but should serve as a means of identification throughout life. Such records as are made in that or any hospital should thus become highly valuable for identification purposes during the life of those indi- viduais, and there can be little or no objection to such a method stmply be- cause it is a system followed in connecec- tion with eriminals. Finger prints do not encourage crime or in any way detrimen- tally brand the individual. It is a sys- tem employed in banks that is declded- ly effective In proving identity, EDITORIAL NOTES, The weather man ssems disposed o keep his foot on the throttle labelled clouds and showers. ‘The man on the corner :l.ys': It is the well dressed, mot the freakily dressed, girl that gets admiration these days.

Chairman McCumber, now, In charge of the tariff can move at any moment to set it temporarily aside to give place to the bonus, and thus give the latter the right of way. Will he do {t? That's a big question and one that McCumber, himself, has thus far fiailed to shed any light on. That the rresident wants the tariff out of the way before the bonus comes up is gen- erally recognized; that the president is likely to veto the bonus in its present form is likewise very generally under- stood. Senator Underwood, democratic floor leader said this week: “I realize that the American people are behind the goldiers. The soldlérs are the he- roes of this generation,” but he then condemned the bonus bill in its pres- ent form. He said that if the tariff bill /is displaced, to zive the right of way to any other measure he will bring forward a number of democratic meas- ures and force them on the attention of the senate before adjournment. This threat to prolong the session was but lightly vefled. It {8 a fact that the democrats have conducted a fillibuster agalnst the'tariff and that the sowcalled debate on thelr part has been mostly assault on the republcan party, Its polidles and its leaders. The democrats deplore the use of the term filibuster and say they are ‘merely giving:the bill “proper considera tion.,” They blandly deny any intention to unduly delay its passage,” and look injured at the suggestion that they are playing polities. There is no dis- guising the fact that the legislative pro- gramme is pretty much up in the air at the present moment. Acting Floor Leader Curtis, however, is hopeful of bringing about a compromise between the factions with the aid of conserva- tive democratic leaders to stop the loose politics and extraneous matters. President Harding and cpngression- al leaders are trylng hard to frame a get-together policy under which the pro- gramme for constructive legislation can be carried out in spite of democratic fil- fbuster and fractional splits ‘in thelr own ranks. It is known that the president and the floor leaders in con- gress feel that the tariff bill must be passed before any other legislation ex- cept appropriation bille are taken up. The fiscal year ends June 30th and it is necessary that all appropriation bills pass and are signed by the president not later than that date, otherwise it would be necessary to pass so-called “continuing resolutions” which make ef- fective the present appropriations until new ones bécome laws. That is fre- quently done under stress, but always with reluctance. Senator McCumber has been persistent in the statement that he should ask to have the tariff set aside and immediate consideration given the bonus, but under pressure of business men who believe the business world Is being unsettled by the uncertainty as to tariff Mr. McCumber has made it known that he will be guided by the outcome of the conference or caucus of the repub- licans, even though he is still of the opinion that the bonus bill should be now taken up. In the meantime talk continues regard- ing new rules of debate, a modified clo- ture to govern the remainder of this session and a constant tcrrent of abuse and recriminataion continues to fall from the lips of garalous democrats. There is a rumor current to the effect that certain senators and congressmen on the democratic side of the house bodles have framed a programme which includes personal attacks on the pres- ident and every member of the cabinet, taking them one at a time and continu- ing such methods #11 the end of the session. The recent onslaught on Sec- retary Weeks, following that on Daugh- erty, gives weight to the rumor. Two things are evident. The repub- licans are anxious to complete a con- structive programme and adiourn at an early date; the democrats propose to prevent it if they can. The truth is the democrats are quite as much at odds and rent with internal dissensions as are the republicans but as the latter are responsible for constructive work and the carrying out of their announced v iey they are in the foreground, and are being used as a smoke screen by the democrats to hide thelr own troubles and fractional fights from the gaze of the world. They have dragged the re- publican skeletons out into the open, but their own- are still half hidden in the closet, The week has been hot and humid with violent thundpr storms. Great clectric fans wave slowly above the iheads of senators and representatives, Wwho git for hours dally listening to te- dious ‘debate, political wrangling and at- tempts %o block the passage of bills. Palm Beach suits and palm leaf fans are the order of the day. Little pag- es in dark blue knickerbockers, white shirt waists and white shoes dart back and forth. Theirs Is a regulation dress just'as much as are the prescribed clothes of the army and navy. The gal- leries have been packed with tourists, whose gay hats and brilliant sport clothes have given a touch of color to the otherwise dull scene. Everybody has been cross and out of temper becaue the “other fellow” insists on doing all the talking and holding the center of the stage. One of the amusing incidents was In the senate when Willis, of Ohio, was presiding and Caraway, of Arkansas. took that opportunity to attack Willis' record on the prohibition enforcement act, speaking with keen saccasm and ween wit. Willis could not talk Yack from the chair, so Caraway made 'the most of his time to the great glee of his colleagues and” the galleries who ap- preclated the situation. Great Men’s Love Letters CARLYLE AND JANE WELSH. The courtship of Thomas Carlyle and Jane Welsh was one of the most stormy of any romances of this character. Jane had been In love several times before meeting Carlyle. They were introduced by Edward Irving. Carlyle, at the time, was rough, uncouth and just from the farm. They studied German together and the girl's active, eager mind. devel- oped rapidly. At length Carlyle pro- posed marriage and she refused in this manner: “My friend, I love you—I repeat it, though I find the expression a rash one. All the best feelings of my nature are concerned in loving you. But were you my brother I should love you just the same. Nol Your friend I will be; your truest, most devoted friend, while I breathe the breath of life. But your wife, never, never! Not though you were as rich as Croesus, as honored and renowned as you yet shall be.’ But the correspondence still continued and Jane seems to have relented for for you increases. ago I would have said that it was im- possible that I should ever be your wife, At present I consider that- the probable destiny for me. one.” the most delightful, enthusiastic, temutuous, affectionate, pricious, warm-hearted, con- shortly she wrote to him: “My affection Not many months ‘most In a year or two perhaps I shall consider it the only “After the view I have obtained of your character and the honors to which you have admitted me, I should be the dullest of the sons of men if I should degenerate into what they call & friend. The only thing I know is that you are ““Whenever that new couple, the Honey- sweets, stroll out in their yard or on the porch,” observed the lady with.the jade eardrops, “they have their arms around each other.

He probably throws the dishes at her when he is irritated and she undoubtedly packs up three times a week to go back to mother, who under- stands her. 1 wish They'd stop it.” “Just because you have no romance in your soul,” the lady with the jade ear- rings told him severely, “is no reason for wanting it wiped off the face.of the earth, Thomas. She looked at him in the most trusting manner. and it is plain to be seen that she adores him.” “They stop doing it about six months after they are married,” the bald husband pointed out. “You youeself have not gazed at me trustingly since the year of the big wind, sophmndpbm If you tried it at this late day yor get cross-eyed on the spot. And it would startle and em- barrass me terribly. “The fact that Mrs. Honeysweet em~ plxl that line of eye work is positive proof that they are still talking about how Jane looked at the wedding and that the Outerwheels were there and sat down the middle aisle, all six of them. She'll get over it. Presently she won't even go to the door with him when he leaves in the morning, let alone encircle his manly shoulders with her arm. And he'll forget to kiss her good-by. “Don’t you recall the bride and groom who lived in the apartment opposite us five years ago?’ inquired the bald hus- band. “She would nearly plunge head- first from the windows watching for his return from a day of toil and their joy- ous reunion in the front hall sounded loud and clear in every apartment, caus: ing all sorts of alarm and apprehension. Other husbands grew peevish at their wives, pointing out that they were not greeted with a like fervor, and their wives were greatly relieved when the bride eloped with another man and the husband was arrested as a bigamist, with a former family. It quite cleared the atmosphere.” ‘The Honeysweets are not at all that He fairly smothered her with books. He led her along the paths of historical re- search, introducing her to Gibbon and Hume, to say nothing of a host of mi- nor lights. The sparkling vivacity of her love letters makes interesting reading. Jane whas desperately in love with' Bdward Irving vgho introduced her to Carlyle, and it was only after he was marrfed that she turned kindly to Carlyle’s plea. She was honorable enough to confess to Carlyle of her once passionate regard for -his friend. To thig Carlyle responded: *“No more of this, ifor God's sakt! Forgiveness: ‘Where is the living man who dares to ook steadfastly Into his ‘painted sepulchre’ of a heart and say: “I have loved one year without committing fif- ty faults of a deeper dye than this? At last they were married. The cer- emony itself was regarded by both of them as some terrible calamity. When they were settld in their own home it was the end of Jane Welsh's hapry girlhood and the beginning of that time of mingled good and evil, or exultant happiness and deep despair of great courage in the face of misfortune, and, of heartache which men may guess at, but only women may understand. It may be questioned whether Carlyle was fitted for marriage. That great and lonely soul was like some vast cathe- aral, sore pressed by eternity and in- ward gloom. There were many things which were hard for both to bear. Pov- erty continually starred thm in the face. Domestic upheavals tormented them con- tinually. Finally the strain was too much for Toor Jane and shd became ill and died. From that hour Carlyle's life was broken. Had he been a con- siderate lover to her in married life she might have been spared him long, but in her death he visited her grave to the end of his days, and was seen always to kneel and even to kiss the sod that rested over the only being who had vigen him real happiness during his life.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE In naming Dr Wu Ting Fang for the premiership the new president of China has made a wise selection, in the opinion of the many American statesmen of af- fairs who have enjoyed the personal ac- quaintance of Dr. Wu. Supplementing his university training in England with extensive -travel, and having resided in Washington for some years as the Chin- ese minister to the United States, Dr| ‘Wu is one of the inidividuals—rare in kind of people,” indignantly lady with the jade eardrops. my friends attended their wedding, and they are perfectly lovely. If they form the habit they will undoubtedly keep it up, and any wife is a happier woman if her husband shows a little affection for her! They have nicknames for one an- other, too!

The idea! Dis- gracing me like that! But it's kind of nice to see the Honeysweets——"" ‘Uh huh,” said the bald husband agree- ably. “But I'll bet he won't be haif so fond of her in fifteen years as I am of you, Sophronisba!

GLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES June is following the example of May. Her first day’s shade tempera- ture returns show 84 degrees in Lon- don. Experts are wondering if we are on the eve of another drough. Last year it was predicted that we should have five hot summers in succession. It is impossible to prophesy far ahead, but there are signs of prolonged dry ‘weather. Turkish Massacres—The point about Turkish massacres, is, first, that they are wholesale, and ordered by author- ity with the deliberate view of ex- termination; and secondly, that they are going on now, that nothing is be- ing done to save the subject Greeks from the fate that has already be- fallen the Armenian nation. If the great powers act together, and quick- 1y, they may save part of the Chris- tian: population; if they delay, there will be no population to save. Bathing mixed—Now that the mix- ed bathing “problem” seems to threat- en the usual summer revival one may recall for the puritanical a code of dipping whidh; whatever triir de- sires, they cannot hope to see renew- ed. Long ago—it was before the bath- in machines—Blackpool seems to have held the palm for fully-secured pro- priety in bathing. At a ‘fixed hour daily, on the ringing of a bell, women wishing to bathe issued from town to shore clad in sea gowns of undoubted decorum and expansiveness. It was an hour when mere man—bound in hon- or, and, says local tradition fear of ‘a fine of a bottle of wine—stayed car fully within doors; but at the ringing of another bell, the women dippers having returned home, men too, in sol- emn procession made for the beach. Pigeon derbies—The great pigeon derbies will be flown early in the month that has just opened, and every Saturday for the next month some thousands of English birds will be liberated at Marennes, Arras, Troyes, Bordeaux, Jersey, St. Sebastian, or other Continental towns, to fly back home. Most of these pigeons will av- erage over 45 miles an hour in their flight; many of them will cover hte distance at a speed of over a mile a minute. IN THE DAY’S NEWS Is the North Pole Headed South? Is \the latitude of Norwich changing? Is your home closer to the equator or the pole than it once was? These may appear to be foolish ques- tions to the average man. He has no doubt grown to look upon the earth’s “belt” and its axis as immovable lines even though they are imaginary. But an astronomer in London was quoted the other day as asserting that the distance between Naples, Italy, and the equator has been shortened by a mile and a half during the past 51 years, and that Green. wich has apparently moved half a mile toward the tropics in less than two decades. The possibility of such changes in latitude is discussed in the following bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society: “There is no question that Ilatitudes change, but there is a very large question whether the changes are of any consid- erable magnitude and whether they con- tinue for any great length of time in the same direction. The variations that have been established are due to a slight wab- bling of the earth like that of a top which is not spinfting evenly around its axis. This irregulacity does not change the direction of the axis itseM but does change the point on the earth's surface (the pole-point) from which the axis emerges. By such changes most points on the earth would have their positions altered with reference to the poles and to the equator, which is always 90 degrees fro mthe pole-point, and therefore follows it in any movement which it makes. “If the earth's simplest possible rota- tion had had a single wabble added to it, the pole-point would teace a clised path; that is, it would return to the same po- sition again and again after the comple- tlon of definite, equal periods. But there are at least two distinct and unequal wabbles known: one completed in a year, and one in about 14 months.

But these two known wabbles cause only a very slight variation from a steady rotation; the ‘wanderings’ of the pole-pdint because of them are believed to be always within a circle 60 feet across. The latitude of any city would be changed, therefore, because of these two recognized wabbles of the earth, at most only 30 feet north or south £ its mean position. here are other possibilities, however, in regard to change of latitude. One is that there are other 2s yet unrecognized wabbles extending over longer periods which cause the pole-point to wander in circles or elipses that may be larger than the 60 foot circle. Another is that there may be forces in operation which shift the pole-point steadily southward practl- cally along a certain Mne of longitude. Finally, latitude changes might be due to local movements, either a sliding of rela- tively small sectlons of the earth's orust, or to a recenty postulated ‘floating’ of the continents. 'Whether there is a progressive change of latitudes has long interested astron- omers. In 1900 the international latitude service was formed and a string of six siations was established forming a band around the world, all within a few feet of the parallel of north latitude. 39 degrees 8§ minutes.

The sta tions in Turkestan and at Gaithersburg were oclosed at the end of 1914, and the international latitude work was discon- tinued at the Cincinnati station at the end of 1915. The remairing three sta. tions are continuing the observations. “The information assembled by the in- ternational latitude service has been in- terpreted in various ways. The changes in Jatitude observed were very small and it is recognized that the possibilities of error due to imperfect instruments, inac- curacles in star declinations, and the hu- man equation were many. One careful analysis by the United States coast and geodetic survey, however, seems to indi- cate that the pole-point is shifting pro- gressively southward toward the conti- nent of North America. This would meas in effect the cities of the United States are moving slowly to the north. “You need have little worry, though. over the likelihood that the North Pole will turn up some day in your back yard. Even though one becomes gen- erous with assumptions and assumes that there is a southward movement of the pole-point and that it will continue steadily, its slowness makes the as- sumed shift almost negligible. The an- alysis referred to seems to indicate a southward drift of the pole amounting to a trifie over six inches & year. This would amount to less than one mile in ten thoueand years. In one million years the change would equal only 5 miles. At the rate assumed, in a mil- lon years New York city would not be shifted as far north as the latitude of Boston today, Fresno would have reach- ed a point only 23 miles north of the present position of San Franciseo, and Memphis would be shifted to about the present position of the south line of Kentucky.” ICED "SALADA" The Summer Beverage “Par Excellence” It's So Refreshing.
