~™ PAGE 8 THE § EATTLE STAR IDA OCTOBER 19, 1923, There are several good reasons why The Star continues to rank first in circulation of all the papers in Washington. . One of these reasons is that every day The Star brings its readers something vital, something constructive, something interesting that the other Papers either won't or can’t print. a ry Rep efficg Monadnock Bidg.; Chi Tridyne Bide.) New York effoa Canadian Pacific Bldg.) Bost emont Bids, The Navy's Weak Excuse (From The Nation of October 17.) Tt is human nature that the naval officers involved in the disaster on the California coast should seek for excuses to save themselves from blame and the service from ignominy, but we had not supposed any of them would have the impudence to transform a display of neg- ligence and foolhardiness that cost 23 lives into propa- ganda for increased appropriations. Yet Captain James H, Tomb, chief of destroyer squadron 12, stood up before the investigating court and glibly proclaimed that if congress had not refused appro- priations “for the proper equipment of destroyer squad- rons” the tragedy would not have happened; he com- plained especially that the vessels lacked “sonic depth finders” with which to take sounding Depth-finding fiddlesti: li-fashioned lead line would have been sufficient, if the officers had been will- ing to slow up long enough to use it. We doubt if con- gress will be much inclined to increase naval equipment until the service can show a personnel with the compe- tence and care not to drive Tull speed thru a fog when approaching a rock-impounded coast.

Simply, women refuse to bear and rear children for war purposes, or to become paupers and idlers. We say visible decadence. There is decadence. Slaughter or maim millions of the best young males of a people, leaving the fatherhood of posterity largely to those who cannot stand an examina- tion for physical and other defects, and there will be a decadence in a people, just as in the case of chickens, cattle, all other animals and even in plants. It is biologi- cal law and cannot be violated without penalty. England is confronted by a condition which she must relieve. Her potential mothers won't do it. King George's first and second cousins numbers nearly 300, which Is too many Christmas presents. About 70,000 mice were killed in one Australian wheat field, which, of course, served them right.

Bulletin Out of Print So tremendous has been the demand on The Star's Washington Bureau for the bulletin we recently an- nounced on “Removal of Stains From Clothing,” that the supply has been temporarily exhausted. A reprinting has been ordered. It may be several weeks before all orders from readers for this particular bulletin can be filled. Please be patient. Your order will be filled just as soon as our Bureau can get to it. It’s a proud little football player who gets himself hurt just enough to wear crutches. The first postcards were used in Austria.

For the administration or against it. For government ownership of railroads or against it. For a high tariff or against it. For a bigger navy or a smaller one or none at all. Propaganda—for organized labor or the open shop, for the bolshevik or against him. Always propaganda! But the facts in the case? “Ah, yes, quite right, the facts—well, er, you see, it’s this way—we haven't had time to study the facts, we've been yo busy with propaganda!” Thus does the world go forward. e Is it any wonder lit wobbles occasionally?

Knowledge | and freedom go hand in hand.” So said President Coolidge, (in proclaiming “Education week” next month. One of the days of Education week is very properly ' to be given over to the consideration of “equal oppor- tunity for all.” Attention will be called to the one-room, one-teacher rural schools, which do not give the chil- dren chances comparable with those offered in the con- Bolidated or city schools. But how about the hundreds of city schools which are 80 crowded that thousands of children are forced to get | along with “half-time” schooling? Two cities in Cali- fornia report a shortage of 28,527 seats. Over 57,000 children are on part-time in these two communities alone, The same thing is true for over 7,000 children in six In- ‘diana cities, for 2,400 children in three Iowa cities, and | for 23,200 children in 12 Texas cities of over 5,000 popu- ‘lation. For 261 cities in the United States there is a |shortage of 842,153 seats, affecting almost 700,000 \ youngsters. Isn’t it about time to do away completely with “double- shift” schooling?
