The supine, temporizing policy of makeshift and expedient, adopted in 1913 with regard to our relations to Mexico is having its effect oil other countries to the south. Senator Moses recently entertained for a conference Dr. Julio Bianchi, minister from Guatemala, when the situation of former President Cabrera of that re public was presumably discussed. Dr. Bianchi has been called upon by our State department to explain why he visited the senator. Later, it may not be inappropriate to ask the State de partment something about its share in." the Guatemalan situation. , V Ou April 5 of this year the American minister at Guatemala City proclaimed the faith of the American government in the pledges of Presi dent Cabrera to sustain a constitutional govern ment, hold sacred its guaranties of liberty. Five days later Cabrera was overthrown by an anti American revolution, and with his family was thrust into prison, where he still remains. This in the face of a proclamation from the president of the United States that he would hold responsi ble any person or group of persons who should cause or provoke disorders.. It was the answer of an unruly and turbulent element, numerous iu southern Mexico and Central America, who especially defy the authority .that rests on a constitution and who are particularly antag onistic tp the United States. If, this open flouting of the government at Washington concerned Guatemala alone, it would not be serious. It concerns American citizens, who were present there; jinder, the constitutional provisions of -the republic, just as they were in Mexico. These were forced to abandon all and leave the country, the fruits "Of their labors to be enjoyed by the revolutiqjiistf . Moreover, the entire Central America situation is involved, from the southern provinces of Mexico to, the Canal Zone. Not only Jhej, property of, private citizens has been or may be seized, but the great canal and all that belongs' with" it -may be mo lested by' the marauders, who find their inspira tion in the success of those of the north, who have so successfully carried on their careers of murder, rapine and pillage under the license of "watchful, waiting." k Not only has the pledge of the Baltimore platform, which promised the protection of our government to any American in pursuit of his legitimate business anywhere on earth, been broken, but a definite announcement that Fresi dnet Cabrera would, be supported against rebels .has been allowed to go unredeemed. The pres tige of a centdrjf of fair-but firm dealing with the Central Americans has seemingly been forfeited by an administration, which either went too far in, making' a promise, or not far enough in its redemption. It will be worth while watching for what action Senator Moses will recommend in the senate. Speed the Housing inquiry. Those who watched the quiet yet forceful manner in which Senator Calder inquired into the housing-question in Omaha recently will feel grateful to the United States senate for extend ing the powers of his committee on reconstruc tion and production. With no desire to muck rake and no 'intention of sensationalism, this in vestigation has already gathered wide informa tion on the building problem 'that points to cer tain factors such as taxation and excessive prices of coal at the mines that may very well be cor rected. , vv .It is intimated that the senate inquiry will be linked up with the New York state committee through an invitation to Samuel Untcrmeyer to act as counsel." With powet to issue subpoenaes in every part of the country, Mr. Untermyer would be able to probe much deeper that he has in the New York investigation, which even under its handicaps has exposed an astonishing indus trial situation comprising combines, agreements, graft and exploitation ef the public. There has been too .much, buck passing, in American life, and too much in most of the legislative investigations. It is time to pin down the facts, not stopping, until the wrongs are righted and the guilty branded. Some such drastic and just achievement is not too much to hope from this combination of .the Calder com mittee and that of Mr. Untermyer. his wife";, and a purchase of pcrfumsd'-fcair tonic was either for abolishingiandruff of for private drinking., x "At " - '.

The painful Jack of reticence that seems to characterize this age. could .go no farther than in the statements, emanating from the beauty parlors of Chicago. . .Men patrons are revealed in all their vanity, having their eyebrows plucked, marcel waves put into their hair, bel ladona dropped into their- eyes to increase their luster, and even wearing corsets. Drug stores and beauty shops' that claim to sell cosmetics, perfumes and cold , creani to men for their personal use also' are disregarding the professional ethics that doctors, dentists and lawyers alone preserve. This is the penalty for straying into strange paths. In the old days these things were mere ly between one man and another. -The barber who produced "the skin they love to touch" with his massage machine claimed no more than that he was clearing out the dirt from the skin, and a shampoo was only, thought, of as an ex pedient toward similar ends. If a man bought a bottle, .of cold cream it was to take home to , Trading With Soviet Russia. Next to membership in the League of Nations, WilHam Gibbs McAdoo presents ; unrestricted trad'ing'wrth soviet Russia as a panacea for the financial troubles of America.. If Mr. McAdoo sincerely believes the twaddle he is. preaching, he; has, furnished the best possible justifitfatioi for the action of the San Francisco convention, which spared him th; defeat that overtook Governor Cox. What the League of Nations could do for American business American business can not do for itself is not clear. Wood row Wilson in his fourteen points laid dwn the doctrine of free trade as one of the things to be accomplished. It was promptly apt aside at Paris, because other nations feel some obligation to protect their own interests, even if the demo cratic party, through its leaders, was ready and willing to lay all America has at the mercy of our. competitors. The people passed on this, as on other points involved, when deciding in November on the re quest of the administration for endorsement ?A "great and solemn referendum" returned a ver dict' that can not be misinterpreted. If the re jected statesmen find any comfort in raking over a heap of cold ashes, very well. As to trading with soviet Russia, the way has been, open, lack ing only the official recognition of the Soviets by the government of the United States." This means that trade with the Russians must be on its own footing; anything the Soviets want and can pay for will be furnished, but the seller is to assume all risks. Our government will not put its credit "behind the Soviets, nor take any pa.rt in collecting bills against Russian customers of American dealers'. . .., In other , words, the restrictions on trade with Russia have been removed, but whatever busi ness is carried on with the Soviets for the pres ent will be on' the "cash and carry" basis. This may not meet Mr." McAdoo's notion, but it will insure safety for American manufacturers. ' 1 Not For One Man to Say. - The discovery by the Federal Trade Com mission that President Wilson, under the pow er given by one of the war laws, has the power to stop trading in wheat futures, merely affords another opportunity, for congress to dodge re sponsibility. Thus far little promise of ade quate relief for the main problem of market ing appears in the deliberations at Washington. Higher duties on a number of farm products and manufactured articles, and even the forma tion of an export corporation do not reach the heart of the matter. The charge is being made by farmers that speculators in food products are in large part responsible for the disproportionate v decline in the prices of farm goods. It has been said that a group of ChicagoanSf having immense funds at their disposal, have forced prices down to un warranted depths. While little complaint of real hedging which represents actual transfer of grain is made, much just criticism of the specu lative option trade that is said to make up 95 per cent of the transactions of the Chicago board of trade is being expressed. Great central markets for grain and pro visions are clearjy necessary, but the artificial restriction or expansion of prices through specu- lative manipulation clearly lies outside the proper function of these farm clearing houses. Public resentment toward this form of speculation, in which po wheat is represented although millions of mythical bushels are bought and sold, is high, but it would be better far to have ihe judgment and action of congress than tokdepend merely on the decision of one man, even though he be the president.

The House of Lords today passed unanimous resolutions to be forwarded to the President of the United States, condemn ing the autocratic attitude and unspeakable atrocities committed upon helpless Filipinos by the government's hired slaughterers, the Philip pine police. A self-appointed committee consist ing of Horatio Bottomly, Arthur Griffith, Father O'Flanagan, and Mrs. Peckwith Campbell has demanded passports to proceed at once to Amer ica and the Philippines to conduct an investiga tion. Following the harrowing stories of the Manila mustard pot, in which eleven innocent persons were dragged from their houses and shot, while semi-armored cars patrolled the streets, the City Council . of Liverpool urged British inter ference in the name of civilization, i President Hed Hunter, of the Philippine Republic, was greeted by ten thousand persons when he arrived in London today to solicitifunds for his country. "We have not been a part of the American Empire since 1916." he said, ."and an j.neir muraer ana pillage will not bring us aiany prominent American conservatives, back. - The Jazz, the Shimmy, and the Board. Omaha's Welfare board is having a hard time making wicked muscles behave. It is de veloping one bit of understanding, though, and that is that the jazz and the shimmy go together. They are inseparable, the one a complement of the " other. Jazz is rhythm without melody, "shimmy" is a dance movement without grace. Each belongs to the primitive. Music teachers long ago recognized the effect of rhythm on the J muscles. Physicists have carried investigations farther, and now understand the inevitable effect of a repeated rhythmic sound when properly focussed. A sp'eaker or singer unconsciously responds to the impillse born of the sound flow-. ing from his lips, and moves in response there$6.H With all the known facts concerning sound and its influence on animate and inanimate objects, no wonder should exist that the answer to jazz is inevitably shimmy. The Welfare board may be able to suppress the one without eliminating the other, but it can not do away with the physical truth. The regrettable aspect of the case is the response of civilized man to the things that gave delight to the savage in his rudest state. Jazz is an unmistakable reverslcm, and the conclusion must be equally correct as to tne shimmy. ' Congressman Fordney, in suggesting that all bonded whisky be released from the warehouses "to let the topers go on one grand drunk and get through with it," aims a deadly blow at the now flourishing moonshine industry. -S Perhaps no ' one realized what ex-President Roosevelt did for the postal system until it, was announced that no less, than 150,000 . letters written by him have been preservedAfterthought perhaps he franked them.- , In advocating public ownership of all oil and coal lands and water power sites, Comrade Daniels must understand that the project in no way resembles taking candy away from a baby. President Wilson, who has just boiight a house for $150,000, will not have to worry about high rents, and is setting a shining example for any downtrodden tenant having $150,000. The Dodge brothers will contribute as liber ally to paying forthe war by inheritance tax on their estates as they did to winning it with the cars they made and sold. Any enterprise that depended on having a "white" Christmas may now be prosecuted with all vigor. Omaha to back the relief fund? Surest thing you know.

During the Cuban war we were greatly agitated by the exposures given embalmed beef. The phrase was a good one to hang a scandal on, and we used up lots of ink in headlines about embalmed beef. We forgot that we always have used and always Have been Very fond of embalmed meats. What meat is more popular than ham, Just as much an embalmed meat as any, and how about side meat, bacon, the smoked meats, and all the varieties of fish such as mackerel, cod and herring? Following this there came a crusade against all kinds of pre servatives which left us wall-eyed and straight-haired. I am sure fish tastes better when cooked within two hours after bein? pulled from the water, eggs if eaten within two hours after being laid, chickens fresh from the farm, and so on down the line. But for those of us who are not so fortunately situated, it is better to employ some form of preservatives in our food than to try to bring them to our tables fresh in name, but having lost the quality of freshness. . We use ice, salt and sugar and we employ canning to make foods safe and edible. K. G. Bitting has lust published the result of a long Series of investigations of the ef-, ficacy of certain preservatives, some of them in domestic use, in prevent ing growth of molds in foods. He found common salt effective in strengths of 15 per cent and over. Salt in solutions strcnger v than IB per cent was a very good cure, Molds grew very little in sugar solutions of GO per cent and over. Celery, curry, ginger, garlic, mace, paprika, red and black pepper and sage were practically without pre serving power. If a woman . puts sage in her sausage because her man likes the flavor it is all right to do so, but if she puts it in to keep it she is wasting good material. Mustard, allspice, cinnamon and cloves are very good preservatives. Mustard has a good deal of preserva tive power, even in very weak strengths. But allspice, cinnamon, and cloves must be very strong in a food in order to preserve it. In fact. Bitting says the strengths required are so great that the product pre served is too strongly flavored' to be! palatable. In the first "place, the substances do not contain much aro matic preservative oil and, in the sec ond not much of what is there can be cooked out. The organio acids from fruits have very little preservative action, even when of 6 Der cent streneth. LTartaric acid from' grapes is a bet ter preservative, vinegar is mucn better as a . preservative. Benzoic acid,, a vegetable acid, is about on a par Ith vinegar. All of the miner als used for this purpose are effec tive. Among "these' are alum, and sulphites, the latter, used in sausage and certain meats, the former in bread. r When two preservatives are mixed they are not so effective as when one Is used,' the strengths being the same in each case; There were two excep tions acetic achl or - vinegar and benzoate being the. first and salt and benzoate the second. Sugar was "used in 25 to 66 2-3 per T TO AN ATHLETE DYING YOUNG. 1 (From "A Shropshire Lad.") The tlAiS you'won your town the race . .
