TOO MODEST. ” T° inspire voters with the will to return a Re- publican Congress next November the Re- publican National Committee is starting another Step-on-it, get-the-money-boys drive to raise a campaign fund of $500,000. Will a paltry half-million do the job? When Senator Harrison of Mississippi told the Senate last Saturday that the Republican Party is plotting to buy the election, with no limit on con- tributions, Senator McCormick, Chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, re- plied.that all the Republican National Committee is planning to do is to “bring the knowledge and details of the facts” of Republican accomplishment “to the people.” A tall order too. =-.- With the Fordney-McCumber tariff menacing ‘« the people's pocketbooks, with the Bonus Bill \\-teady to load on them an extra burden of nobody > Knows how many billions of dollars, with the New- ** berry case in no way forgotten, with an Attorney ~ General who has turned out a heavy liability on “=the Administration, it is going to be no cheap un- dertaking to persuade voters that Republican chievement is boosting the country along to a _millennium of prosperity and contentment. Only $500,000 to convince the electorate that another Congress like the present is just what it _, heeds? + The Republican National Committee should go aver its figures again.

Copyright, 3082, (Now Yor World), by Press Publish’ oO TO GIVE ACITY ELBOW-ROO In the city of Rio Janeiro a York engineering firm—Leonard Ki nedy & Co.—are performing an gineering feat that would not nh been thought of by any nation exce| an American nation, nor by any gineers except American eng! They are removing a mountain fro the waterfront heart of the capital d Brazil to give Rio elbow-room incidetitally to enable the people q Rio to breathe the ocean breezes, not shut off by the hill. There are 7,000,000 cubio metres this hilli—or mountain, as you cho to call it. On this height is the old part of the city, where tn the teenth century the first Portugues governor built his home and hig fo! fications and defiéd the French b caneers, on conquest bent with aid of a large ‘fleet. ¢ Incidentally this historic pile of 4 and stone—Morro de Castello it called—contains the oldest and m obstinate slum of Rio. There 5,000 people living on the Morro Castello. There are old churches a it, @ monastery, a hospital and ancient “carcel” or prison. All these, in addition to the sh where dwell Rio’s nearest approac to the Paris apache, must go. Be’ cause Rio is determined to be up date, and will not have its prog barred even by historic spots. It is a stupendous task that the gineers face in the removal of thi mass of 7,000,000 cubic metres of roc! and soil. But as it is mostly over 80 per cent. of it—they harness the sea to remove the mass By midsummer the dirt will be dis solving—not flying—under the com, bined impact of twelve streams fr as many American nozzles with pressure of 200 pounds to the sai inch. Pumped from the ocean by three giant electrically driven pi the muddy water will be carried to sea by forty-inch flumes. The water—about 20 per cent. of 1 soll—will be deposited along @ seae wall two miles long. There, after job is done, Rio will establish a measuring about twenty city bl and lay out in addition sixty-! business blocks. The combined advantages of operation the people of Brazil as ample compensation for the 000,000 which they stand prepared spend on the job. The removal of the hill, of will add to the space available business purposes on the space ni occupied by it. When the work completed, Rio Janeiro will be t gainer in every way. The B: people are justifiably proud of. the! enterprise. STATEN ISLAND, “PURELY DOMESTIC" (1) I the tariff purely a domestic question? Ten years ago the support of an affirmative answer might have been easier than to-day, Did the United States learn nothing from the Great War? The spark that exploded the powder magazine was the murder at Sarajevo But whence came the spark? A “purely domestic question” in Austria—if Senator Watson is right—was the origin. Serbia's market was to the north, through Aus- tria. Austria levied duties, all that the traffic would bear—more than Serbia could stand. Austria fixed duties so that after the Serbs had paid to enter the world market they had less than enough left to pay for the productive effort. They were despoiled and discontented. It was in such a setting that the murderous plot against the Arch- duke was hatched. Austria's “purely domestic question” grew into an international question that rocked the world and wrecked Austria. If it had been left to Washington to pick a new Premier for Japan, Admiral Baron Kato would likely have been the choice. His Pro- miership is a bright promise for peace. THE NORTHWEST FEELS IT. T is not surprising that Senators from the North- west should be first to voice serious concern over the coal strike and to suggest Government action if the producers and unions cannot come to an agteement. The Northwest is most yitally concerned with summer production of coal. Whatis mined in the winter does not keep the Northwest warm and busy. Coal for the Northwest must be mined and shipped to the upper lake ports before navigation closes. The all-rai! haul is prohibitively expen- sive, and the railroads cannot be depended on to furnish cars for this unaccustomed business. Senator Lenroot, who isn’t at all a wild-eyed extremist, is demanding that the Government pre- pare to take over the mines if an agreement is not reached soon. Other Senators from the Northwest will side with him, whether they like the principle or not. There’s no arguing with an empty coal bin. The Northwestern legislators will feel the press- ure first, but all Congress will feel it with increas- ing force as the strike drags on. Kindly invita- tions from Mr. Hoover and Mr. Davis are not get- ting results. It is time to try stronger medicine. From Evening World Readers What kind of letter do you find most readable?

UNCOMMON SENSE By John Blake (Copyright, 1923,~by John Biake.) ever placed before the people for al referendum, there is no doubt that @ great protest would be voiced. How- ever, that would only show how igno- rant the people as a whole are. Voters form electoral crowds, and it is a psy- chological principle that the reasoning of the individuals composing a crowd is much below that of even the least intelligent of the crowd. The electoral crowd voting on Prohibition would be a stupid crowd and its actions would reflect its stupidity. It is for this reason that we fear to place before a mass of highly emotional, thought- shunted, impulsive individuals a ques- tion which touches their health and life, I believe that if a referendum Is to be made it should be made by the physicians of the country as they are in a position to judge whether liquor is injurious and whether its sale ought to be limited or prevented. A refer- endum can never and must never be submitted to the people on the ques- tion of Prohibition. It is too vital a matter to be handled so carelessly. JULIUS FRIEDEL. Brooklyn, June f, 1922. LOYALTY. It is not surprising that the word “‘traitor” is the bit- terest reproach with which a man can be loaded. In every human heart is instilled a respect for loyalty. It is the business of the parent to be loyal to the child he has brought into the world. Nothing is more beautiful or more deserving of sym- pathy than the sight of a mother and father stanchly stand- ing by a son who has gone wrong, or a daughter who be- cause of ignorance or bad associations made an irreparable mistake. Nothing is finer than to see a son or a daughter stand by their parents in their hour of adversity—even standing by parents who have done deliberate wrong. Shakespeare's noblest tragedy, “King Lear,” is a mov- ing story of a lack of loyalty to a kindly father—a treachery which cost him his reason. Read it if you have not read it. Read it again if you have. It is one of the greatest stories of life that has ever been written. Loyalty to a country is necessary to the preservation of the country as anation, If the men and women whom it ‘has protected do not stand by it in its hour of need it will crumble. Loyalty to a partner in business, to a friend, to a school or college—all are beautiful manifestations of fine human nature. It proceeds from a high sense of honor. In marriage, a contract into which both partners enter with their eyes open, loyalty is highly essential, It should be based on mutual love and trust, and it should never be violated. A man who takes a wife under his protection should be willing to put up with any infirmities of temperament rather than be disloyal. If he is disloyal because of foolish in- fatuations, he should never be allowed to become the hus- band of another woman. The family, the home, the nations and all business instt- tutions are founded on loyalty. It is a basic quality, and fortunately it is one of the most widely distributed of the fine qualities that are bestowed upon human beings. ————— WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WORD? 177.—PILOT, The Dutch people, who were largely responsible for the devel; ment of the science of navigat also created the word pilot. In old Dutch ‘‘pijien’’ meant to the water, and ‘‘loot’’ meant, probably still means, lead. “To “ loot’? a ship meant to guide it by ing the lead as a sounding appl The French, the English, the jards, the Italians and many seafaring nations borrowed the ready-made, simplifying the spell by throwing out the “‘J.”” It is curious that the Russians, borrowed a good deal of their sce: of navigation from the Dutch, do use the Dutch word for pilot. that fact Peter the Great, who stu shipbuilding in Sweden, is no do fesponsible. The Russians use Swedish word to designate the who guides the ship into port across seas.

They and weave the roses of heaven to the life we live on earth, Richard Barthelm letter to The Evening World states that in his opinion applause in a theatre is to be attributed to the art of the actor rather than to the intel- ligence of the audience, as stated by Joseph Santley. For my part I be- Heve (and I have talked to many about this discussion) both are wide of the mark, Applause in a theatre or any other place ts the result of personal ap- peal. Take any audience as an ex- ample and you will find that what appeals to one person will not make any impression on another, and yet both persons may be highly intelli- gent and the actor who is playing before them as highly artistic, I know a college professor who !8 terribly bored at a performance of Shakespeare or Ibsen, but let a comedian in a musical comedy hit another comedian with the perennial slap-stick and this finely educated man will almost fall out of his seat with explosive laughter. 1 am sure Mr. Santley would not say this gentleman is not intelligent nor would Mr. Barthelmess attribute his appreciation to the of the actor. ‘itis simply that low comedy or wholesome buffoopery appeals to this particular man when he nds the theatre, and he will invariably applaud and laugh when thus actu- ated: J.

The Babe's batting isn’t up to expectations, but improves, A series of lists of “GREATEST LIVING WOMEN OF AMERICA” have been coming out in response to the request of an interviewer from Chill. Wide diver. sity of opinion is evident. Mrs, Catt is mentioned fre quently and favorably, Several observers have noted how few mothers are listed. Is the fault with the mothers or with the yardetick of “greatness”? A new edition of the “FOLLIES” appeared and Am- bassador Harvey wore the same knee breeches twice at the Court of St. James's. An ambitious project for a CENTRE of MUSIC, DRAMA and ART has been launched by municipal of- ficials. The plan depends on liberal support by public- spirited men of wealth. The query, “How much politics?” has been raised and needs answering. Controversy over alleged DISCRIMINATION AGAINST JEWS in American universities has kept company with the weather temperatures—great heat and comparatively little light as yet. Perhaps that too may be attributed to the humidity of a humid week, ¢ Inside Wheels Rixe. ‘To the Editor of The Evening World: ‘The letter of C, EB. Yeardie in The Evening World of June 6 regarding “An Automobile and Its Wheels" brings up at once an interesting point and a popular miséonception. The problem, of course, is one, in ele. mentary physics, but evidently not a well known one. Comic pictures, &c., almost invariably represent automo- biles rounding curves with the outside .| wheels off the ground, when as a matter of fact the actual situation is always the reverse. When an auto- mobile, or indeed any vehicle, rounds @ curve at any speed, travelling on a flat surface, there is a tendency for the inside wheels to leave the ground, and if the speed is great enough they will actually do so at high speeds to such an extent that the vehicle is Mable to upset completely. The theory ts very simple. When any body travels in a curved path it can easily be shown that it Is acted upon by a force, called centripetal foree, perpendicular to its instantane- ous direction of motion, or in genera} normal to its path. This force varies directly as the equare of the velocity jand inversely with the radius of|raiiway, race track, &c., are banked, cupvature of the path.

The centre going to travel and the shi of ‘To the Editor of Th» ‘The stand that you have taken on the question of Prohibitton is in direct contrast to and the very antithesis of] your otherwise sensibie policies, I am curious to know how some of your staff correspondents, especially Sophie Irene Loeb, that unflinching upholder of domestic relations that really are peaceful, think on the question of pro- hibiting or at least limiting the sale of intoxicating beverages. I feel quite certain that she would be unalterably opposed to the sale of alcohol in its) more injurious forms—i. e¢. whiskey— although she might bite her lips and remain silent on the question of the wale of wines. I wonder whether she will write such an article, but I fear of gravity of a vehicle is somewhere above the ground, centripetal force acts upon the centre of gravity anc tends to throw it out in this manner. and the throw is resisted by the outer wheels of the machine, which take up the force and, If the friction be- tween them and the ground ts suffi- cient, resist the sidewise motion. The resultant is therefore a force which tends to lift the centre of gravity upon the outer wheels as an axis, and 89 raises the inner wheels from the ground.
