With each form of contagion there to a period of incubation during which the cause of the contagion is in the body of the person presently to become sick, but during which there is no evidence that there is anything wrong. In no instance does contagion strike down a well man instantly upon touch ing him like a steer knocked on the head with an ax. What happens during this period of incubation nobody exactly knows. The Incubation period Is In no Instance irrevocably fixed. In New York state, according to the Buffalo sanitary bulle tin, the maximum periods of incubation of certain diseases as defined by law are: Disease— Days. Chickenpox . 21 Measles . 34 Mumps . 21 Infantile paralysis . 14 Scarlet fever . 7 Smallpox . 20 Whooping cough . 14 For exarape, if a child was exposed to whooping cough on November 7 and on November 21 he showed no signs of the disease, the parents, school teachers, , health officers, in fact, everybody would be justified in saying that *he was safe so far as that exposure was concerned. In practically no case is a prospective case infective during the period of incu bation. The last few days of incubation in measles and smallpox may be excep tions to this rule. When a person has developed conta gion he should bo isolated or quaran tined until it is safe for him to mingle with people. During the early part of this isolation period the person is sick, but during the latter portion of it he mfty feel well even though he is bear ing the seeds of contagion. In New York state the periods of iso lation are fixed as follows: Chickenpox—Until 12 days after the ap pearance of the eruption and until the crusts have fallen off. Diphtheria—Until two successive neg ative cultures have been obtained from the nose and throat. Meningitis—Until two weeks after the temperature has become normal. Measles—Until at least five days after the appearance of the rash. Mumps—Until two weeks after the ap pearance of the disease and one week af ter disappearance of the swelling. In.fftH.Ule paralysis—TJntil three weeks from the onse! of the disease. Scarlet fever—Until 30 days after the development of the disease. Smallpox—Until 14 days after the de velopment of the disease. Typhoid fever—If the patient’s occu pation brings him in contact with food, laboratory tests must show that he is no longer excreting typhoid bacilli. Whooping cough—Until eight weeks after the development of the disease. In almost every case the law recognizes the need of making exceptions to the rule. As a matter of fact, not every case of smallpox, as an example, is no longer infective 14 days after the de velopment of the disease. Some cases may be safe much earlier and some are not safe until later. The New York authorities think, how ever. the danger is so inconsiderable after the end of the period set that they say the health officers are safe#in ig noring it. If the health officers are safe in ignoring the danger, the people con cerned can regard the rule as a rea sonably safe one to follow. Harding Not Unpledged. Gus J. Kargeri, Cincinnati Times-Star. Senator Harding says he^assumes the presidency unpledged as to appointments to office. He has forgotten one incident —an outstanding promise—and to a dem ocrat at that. It was on October 28, 1919, the day the Senate passed the prohibi tion amendment, that John Sharp Wil liams, senator from Mississippi, ap ! proached his Ohio colleague, whose can didacy for the presidential nomination had just been announced. “When you're I elected president, Harding," said the Mississippian, “I want you to appoint me minister to Portugal." “I’ll do it John, if you insist," replied Harding, “but why Portugal?" ••Because," retorted Williams, whose tfklng for a drop of toddy now and then is known and admitted, “because I think Portugal will be the last place in the world to go dry." It isn’t believed that Senator Williams, now that Senator Harding has been elected, will press his claim. But there’s another democratic senator to whom Senator Harding is under obligation for good advice. That’s Senator Thomas, of i Colorado, just defeated for re-election. Thomas was one of the democrats who congratulated him on his nomination. “And take my advice," he said, “don’t go gallivanting all over the country. Make a porch campaign. It is more dig nified and will get you more votes.” “I had already thought of that," re plied Senator Harding. “But, why, as a 1 democrat, single out a republican candi date for good political advice?" “Oh, that’s all right." retorted Thomas. “I’ve said the same thing i# Jim Cox." For More Honest Dealing. From the Villager. Would it not profit both employer aih> workman to reform the method of their bargaining? Almost always the men de mand double the advantage they hope to achieve, and almost always the employ ers stand on unqualified refusal when they intend but half a refusal. We can not live on a cent less, declares the union; the business cannot carry another dollar of expense, say the owners. Both sides are lying; it is a conventional lie, and in conventional circumstances mis leads no one. But there comes the day when there is a real wolf. The employ ers are In earnest this time when they say they cannot go a step further to meet the wage demands and keep the business going, but how now can they express the truth in any words that do not sound precisely like the lie? Why does not industry take a leaf out of Its own book? A generation ago the ask ing prices of goods were marked In cabalistic terms, and the actual selling price hung on the balance of higgling ability between buyer and salesman. With the organization of big business came the fixed price marked in plain figures that he who shops may read; this was not a philanthropic development; It was & purely pragmatic effort to lessen the liability of poor salesmen and to eliminate the costly temptations to dis honesty.

There ar« 4,000 farmers’ eleva tors In the country, 75 per cent of which belong to the association. They handle a billion bushels of grain annually, and represent an Investment of $100,000,000, with 500,000 farmer stockholders. They do an annual business of about $250,000 in furnishing fertil izers, flour, feed, lime, coal, lumber, fence posts, etc., to the members, and they now plan to absorb the entire output of certain factories, If necessary. Twelve states have organizations. Ohio” and Illinois each have a commercial service capitalized at $100,000, apd Iowa Is organizing a million dollar com pany. Indiana and Oklahoma each have purchasing agents along the samo lines and an effort will be made to combine all of tills service on a national basis. The state associations have al ready obtained first-hand service on the grain exchanges by estab lishing commission companies at Minneapolis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Hutchinson, Kan., anil arrangements are being made in Chicago and the other markets to form commission houses and to purchase or lease terminal grain elevators for conditioning. -niLTing, transferring, storing and merchan dising grain. Secretary Meredith will nddress the convention on a plan for col lecting world-wide grain Informa tion aud placing grain experts In different districts, who shall trans mit crop conditions by cable. The association will employ Its own crop expert to digest this Informa tion and get it promptly to the stockholders. Farmers’ elevators are being or ganized at the rate of about ten a week, the state association assist ing by furnishing by-laws, advis ing proper legal procedure and sup plying a well-postea speaker and obtaining experienced managers. The state associations do not send out solicitors, as experience has proven that unless the stockholders raise the money themselves and run the business it will probably fall. H. It.

The cramped condition in the supply of credit reacts on our mer chants in curious ways. We heard one of them inquire complainingly why we were placing foreign bonds in this country, when apparently our own people needed all the money. There ore probably many like him, even in intelligent business crcles. The answer is, of course, that shutting out the world would result in much w'orse conditions in our own country than now prevail here. Mr. John McHugh, of the Mechanics & Metals bank, is chairman of a committee which undertook the formation of a corporation under the Edge law, and made its report at the recent meeting of the American Bankers' association. Mr. McHugh's statement regarding foreign trade answers, in a way, the question of the merchant to which we have referred. ‘‘The foreign trade of this country, on account of the unique position of the United States in the last few years, has expanded to such an extent that a contraction to pre-war conditions would have a most depressing effect. Therefore, it has come to be reoognized that another large piece of equally important financial machinery is needed to finance that foreign trade and maintain it at such figures as will keep our people at work and our avenues of production adequately employed." • Mr. XcHugh then referred to the very large amount of loans and credits extended to American importers in connection with foreign trade, aggregating pearly $4,000,000,000. This vast amount is being directly or lndireotly carried by the bank* of the country In short term form, but has to be renewed from time to time, makng, in fact, long term credit out of it'—a dangerous, undesirable and Imprudent kind of obligation for com mercial banks to carry. It may be concluded that this vast amount of stagnant credit in opr banks is one of the sources of unsatisfactory conditions in our money mar ket The aim of the McHugh committee is that such long time credits should be handled by an investment corporation of wide and extensive dis tributing ability—a corporation which can be brought into existence through the co-operation of the banks and business men of the country. A meet ing to organize this $100,000,000 foreign trade financing corporation is to be held in Chicago on December 10. Admiral Sims' Medal. From the New York World. Although AdmlraOSims refused to ac cept the distinguished service medal awarded him nearly a year ago, it is at the bureau of navigation, to be held until called for. He can get it whenever he sees fit, and on the other hand no power on earth can force him to take it. It is his property exclusively. If it af fords him more gratification to treat it with scorn as a recognition of his ser vices during the war, he may nurse his grievance to keep it warm, but the re cords of the navy department will tes tify to the high honors that deservedly fell to his share. After all, no administration or govern ment ever distributed honors to the sat isfaction of everybody. Always, as a rule of human nature, dissent or criti cism must be heard. Admiral Sims was not the first and will hardly be the last to disapprove the official recommenda tions in such circumstances. He man aged to raise a first-class row, and that may seem sufficient compensation for denying lilmself the privilege of display ing a decoration coveted by his brothers in the service. In time of national emergency the navy rose to the occasion splendidly, whatever duties were required of it, hut after the war it had an attack of nerves. Then the petty jealousies and personal fault findings for which there had been no leisure were exploited at length. The Sims incident, in the glorious history of the navy, will not fill many pages. Right to Happiness. Ernest Dimnet, In Harper's. X should advise American mothers to keep the pursuit of happiness out of their daughters’ constitution if they cannot keep it out of their country’s. A girl who is given to understand every minute that she has a right to a good time 's sure to declare before long that she wonders when the goo^l time is coming, even if she has it at evCry hour. Do not make fastidious* artists In happiness. Keep on the safe Puritan side; It does not always mean thin Ups and spectacled eyes shooting reproach around at ran dom. I am afraid the idea of happiness is made an obsession jjy a great deal of apparently moral literature. Up-To-Date. From Louisville Courier-Journal. "Why the mob? Is the whole country interested in this horse trade?" "It isn’t a horse trade. Two farmers are swapping tractors.” Felt It. From the Houston Post. As a party of tourists were climbing to the top of a half ruined tower, one of the party remarked; “This Is a perfect specimen of a spiral staircase." “Yes—persplral Is right,” replied the heaviest man of the party as he mopped his brow. Delaware Whipping Post. From the Springfield Republican. When progress in the solution of so, cial problems seems slow, there is al ways a lesson in patience to be gained by considering the case of Delaware and its whipping post. It illustrates the in ertia of tradition, which conserves the bad as well as the good and retards the onward course of civilization. The whipping post, once a familiar sight, along with the stocks and pillory, in every considerable New England town, has long been tolerated by statute in this country only in -tho state of Dela ware, as "every school hoy” knows. And the statute Is very far from being a dead letter. The statute Indeed provides, for the imposition of lashes In addition to Jail sentences at tho discretion of the trial Judge. Between 30 and 50 men are whipped in tho state yearly, and whipped pub licly; that is, residents of tho state are permitted by law tot witness the ordeal if they wish. The shapes are laid upon the victim's bare back with a cat-o’ nine-tails, which, however, mildly ap plied, raises red welts upon the skin. It is not a pleasant sight and It is not surprising that -few residents of the state take advantage of the law’s per mission to observe the operation of their peculiar institution, In which they take so much pride. The pride is apparent from the action of the state legislature at the last ses sion in defeating by a vote of 60 to 2 a bill to abolish the ancient instrument of torture. The question is always up and there arc maf.y Delaware people who agree with Judge Ball,, of their state. In declaring that though the whipping is done as mercifully as may be, "the very thing itself Is brutalizing, degrad ing, disgusting, to the prisoner and to those who are witnesses.’ But it Is warmly defended. Most of the voters of the state, It Is said, are convinced that It Is a deterrent to crime. The laet legislature apparently thought so. Per haps there Is less crime In Delaware than •In other states. If so, there are 47 states In the union that won’t believe that*the whipping post la the reason. In one state of the 48, ' Arizona, building operations are reported to'be extremely active.
