Today The Greedy Wolrerine. Wise Mrs. Ford. On Which Side? Miss Wills of California. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^, Do you know about the Wolver ine, not the Detroit Express train, but the animal, largest of the weasel tribe, weighing as much as 120 pounds. The wolverine, most savage of all animals, is dying off rapidly. It is so greedy that it will not leave the porcupines alone. Porcupines are so foolish they think nothing will swallow their prickly bodies, and don’t even get out of the way. The wolverine eats the porcu pine, chewing up the stickers. These penetrate the wolverine's in testines and he dies in agony after about 10 days. The wolverinb ought to be a. warning to over-greedy trusts. The porcupine is about as silly as some of the voters. Mrs. Henry Ford renders public service in her frank talk to girl campers. They called asking for autographs, with their overalls rolled far a|?ove their knees and socks rolled down to their ankles. Mrs. Ford’s advice, “Go home and dress properly,” was precisely what those girls needed. Will those that think the United States should mix in Europe’s league of nations or world court, answer a question? You know that relations between France and Eng land are badly strained. But for the French flying machines the re lations would not be strained, but better. * Supposing France and England went to war and wc were tied up in their league, how long could we keep out of it? ,If we were forced in, which side would you have the United States take? Lazy worthless tribes of Indians used to live in California. Too lazy to hunt, too cowardly to fight, they drifted living on nature’s bounty. Todag’s white inhabitants of California are the most high strung, energetic, hard working people in the world. Helen Wills, a 17-year-old Cali fornia University student, repre sents the California breed of white people. Not full grown she has conquered the whole world at tennis, excepting the French mar vel, Suzanne Lenglen. Next year when she reaches 18 she will go after the French wonder. Ambition is the word that ex plains the difference between Indians that just lived on Califor nia and white people that have built California. A distinguished Chicago lawyer Hays: “Politicians are not qualified to Select judges.’’ He’s right. He says judges should be selected ^>y the lawyers of the country. He is wrong. Judges should be selected by the people and made subject to re call by the people. Their job should include defending the peo ple against politicians, also Against lawyers that protect trusts, bucket shops, and similar enterprises for a consideration, and have a great deal too much to do with govern ment in proportion to their num bers. The Russian bolsheviki, strange creatures, believing that a univer sal revolution would help the world, are sending gold to revolutionists in Germany. That may help a lit tle, but the allies quarreling about the best way of choking Germany to death are giving the revolution ists the best help. One man in California cuts the price of gasoline to 6 cents a gal lon. That is war, of course. But there isn’t, much comfort for the consumer in a few days of war and low prices. When the big oil men kill off the little fellows, they will take out of the consumer’s pocket all that the price war costs, and a little more. The head of one hank in New’ York is nearly one hundred. An other, John A. Stewart, of the United States Trust Co., has cele brated his 101st birthday. Men are living longer than they did. Sensi ble eating, more than makes up for the strain of business life. Those that think live longest. A man and a tree die at the top. Moderate eating and fresh air arc most important.

Washington, Aug. 23.—Persons who com* Into contact with Coolldge in hie relation to the coal strike emerge from these conferences With a con fidence based less on what the pres ident has said than the attention he pays to what is said and the signs be gives of clear and sharply defined understanding. This applies not only to those who see him about the coal strike, but to all who see him. Practically every body who confers with the new pres ident about any administrative mat ter these days uses the occasion as an opportunity for sizing up the new boss. Their universal comment is that from the administration point of view Coolldge is an extremely satis factory man to deal with. Coolidge's theory of sound adminis trative principles differs from that of many men who must deal with large organizations and must neces sarily deal with them through men. It is a frequent and entirely ac ceptable practice for such highly placed executives to listen to a pro posal from a subordinate and then, because he has confidence in the man, to give the subordinate carte blanche to act according to his judg ment. Has Cintidenoe in Mien. But it is Coolidge’s way to keep a somewhat tighter rein on affairs. It is a principle of administration that involves extremely hard work and sharp thinking on the part of the executive. Coolldge listens to what his subordinates have to say, ex amines It In its relation to every briefiy the necessary limitations on thing else being done, and explains the new proposal. Then he lets the subordinate go away understanding exactly how much can be done and with a complete confidence that there will he no confusion of "crossed wires” later on. In spite of the confidence which Coolidge's subordinates and the oth ers who have contact with him about the coal strike have in his clear thinking and his ability to act suc cessfully, based on that clear think ing, nevertheless many of his friends fear that in certain outcomes the pub lic may have a sense of disappoint ment based on placing their expec tations too high. The most conspicuous act'in Cool idge's career up to date was his end ing of the strike of the Boston police. It is by comparison with that many persons tend to judge hint. One aspect of this Is expressed in a phrase, at tributed wrongly or rightly to some of the union leaders, to the effect that they "will show this Boston strike breaker a thing or two." Difference in Strikes. If it is true that any of the leaders have this particular kind of a feeling they are justied in their arrogance, for what everybody knows who is close to the situation, and what the public ought to know, is that there is a difference between the Boston police strike and the threatened coal strike, so wide that Coolldge cannot possibly lie as effective with the one as with the other. The first of the outstanding char acteristics of Coolidge’s handling of the Boston police strike was that step by step he acted according to his of ficial responsibility and within his authority; as was called for by each stage of the evolution of the strike. But probably the even more import ant contribution Coolldge made was the definition of the precise nature of that particular strike and Ills asser tion that men W'ho are responsible for th* public safety as iiolicemen are having no right to strike at any time or under any circumstances. Tills last Is what Coolldge cannot do in respect to tile coal strike. It can not be asserted that a strike which merely results in causing the public to be compelled to buy another kind of fuel stands on the same basis as a strike which endangers the public safety. While this distinction clearly •exists it Is also true that this occasion presents another opportunity for care ful definition. At one extreme are soldiers, sailors, policemen and fire men, who are subject to the limitation which Coolldge defined and asserted in 1019. . At the other extreme are workers in ordinary industry, who have a com plete right to strike under any and all circumstances. Somewhere in be tween, perhaps, are the groups en gaged in transportation and coal mining. Copyright, 3923.

Farmers, confronted with dollar wheat, may still turn It to a profit as hog feed, according to L. A. Weaver, head of the Missouri agricultural ex periment station; II. Umberger of the Kansas agricultural college experi ment station, and William H. J. Loef fen of the Nebraska university, fol lowing their experiments along that line. The results of their experiments in Missouri and Kansas showed that hogs fed on wheat gained a pound and a quarter a day. whereas the corn fed hog gained but one pound. This was an average compiled after 3 20 days of feeding. They found that 483 pounds of wheat will raise 100 pounds of pork, which would require 5S2 pounds of corn. Loeffen's experiments in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa showed an average of only 3 per cent per pound advantage in using wheat for feed. Another advantage of wheat as hog feed is that young pigs in tiie spring can be fed wheat which is ripe before the corn and consequently sold on the early fall market where higher prices may be obtained. "Where a man has an abundance of wheat and little corn, at the present prices it w’ould be folly for him to sell the wheat to buy corn,” stated J. M. Uillan of the Chamber or tom emarec. ' Also ground wheat, oats und bran make ideal dairy feed, while wheat, when green, may be given to the horses ns hay. William Loeffen arrived in Omaha yesterday' with a shipment of hogs for the stockyards, with which he had been experimenting at the university. Tire lot was divided in four parts. One group was fed on yellow corn and tankage for 90 days, the second on white corn and tankage, the third group on yellow corn and alfalfa and the fourth bunch on white corn and alfalfa. The animals gained an aver age of HO pounds in 90 days.
