Working Out a Peace Resolution.
News from Washington that "jealousy" be
tween the senate and the house may . delay the
coming of peace need not disturb anybody. It
is really not so serious a situation as might ap
pear on the surface. President Harding has been
consulted, and has said that he is unwilling to
make a choice between the Knox resolution,
passed by the senate, and the Porter resolution,
which will be reported to the house and prob
ably passed. What the president is interested in
is a declaration of peace.
The difference between the Knox and Por
ter resolutions is not an insurmountable one,
and scarcely amounts to more than a technicality.
By the former the war is declared at an end, and
the resolutions which declared a state of war to
exist are repealed. By the latter war is simply
declared at an end. Some time may be consumed
between the two branchs of congress in debating
which of the two forms of resolution finally will
be adopted to end the fictitious state of war that
has been in existence for almost two years.
The matter will be brought forward in the
house this week, and may be the subject of such
debate as will develop the reasons for not tak
ing the lead of the senate as a guide. Delay to
the declaration ot peace is not especially serious
at the moment. Germany is moving to comply
with the reparation demands, and has thus re
moved the greatest obstacle to the negotiations
that may follow the action, of congress. When
the senate turned down the Walsh resolution
last week, it was further notice that this country
does not intend to enter the League of Nations.
We will be free at least from that entanglement
in making, our own bargains.
Europe's problems are turning on the Kor
fanty revolt in Poland, and the reported collapse
of the Lcninc-Trotzky government in Russia. So
. far as our concern in these goes, we will be in
iis good position to deal with the issues arising.
, from.t'.kin if the passage of the peace, resolution
is post;', tied to the end of summer. Therefore,
the nc.;jtiations btween house and senate, over
the 1; n ,uage to be employed in the declaration
is not of especial moment just now. Mr. Har
ding has left it to congress, and congress will
decide one way or the other.
Latest Little Indian War.
The "uprising" of the Utes in Utah doesn't
amount to much, when measured by the stand
ards of modern warfare, and even is negligible as
compared with the outbreaks . of ;. earlier days.
Alongside the Meeker Massacre, in which the
same tribe, under Colorow, performed some
deeds of rapine and cruelty that will always live
in western annals, this demonstration is insig-r
' nificant. What may be gained from it is at
tention to the genuine progress the red man has
made in the last quarter of a century. . Only
those who are familiar, through personal con
tact with the Indian, with the advance made in
white man's ways can appreciate the change.
Not only Indians of Oklahoma, where many
have become millionaires through oil, are af
fected, but the sturdier tribes have gained in
knowledge and wealth because they have been
induced to accept something of civilization. The
blanket Indian has all but disappeared; indus
trious endeavor at self-support has taken place
of the indolent, shiftless life so long characteristic
of the tribes under the mistaken policy of an
earlier day. The white man sought to deal
justly with the red, and by that effort perpetuated
most of his ancestral habits. Only pvhen this
policy was reversed, and the Indian was required
to assume some genuine responsibility for his
own affairs, to provide for his wants through the
arts of peace, .rather than those of the chase, did
his progress begin. Outbreaks, such as that
reported . from Utah, are not a sign that the
experiment has failed. They merely serve to
prove that the Indian is, after all, a human being;
that his young men can be and frequently are
unruly, and that the passion for adventure has
not yet died out in their bfeasts. That is all.
How to Spend $100 a Month.
i So far as is known, no estimate of how a
man enjoying an income of $100,000 a year should
apportion his expenditures has ever been made.
He is left to, spend or save as he sees fit, and the
public seldom noses into his affairs unless he
quarrels with his wife. However, the wage earn
er is showered with advice as to what to do
with his pay check. The bureau of municipal
research in Xew York City is the latest to figure
out how the income of this class should be ap
portioned. AH the items of legitimate expense
have been tabulated and the amount that may
properly be used for each is carefully estimated.
For an unmarried woman. office worker the
minimum annual outlay is set at $1,118.08. That
eight cents indicates that some close figuring and
nickel splitting has been going on. A single man,
we are assured, can maintain the American stan
dard of living on $1.09168 a year, and a family
of five must spend $2,263.55. According to this
budget." each man is given an allowance of $3
for collars and' $2.94 for ties (probably he is ex
pected to get the rest from Santa Claus.)
The unmarried woman is expected to spend
S3 a week for rent and 95 cents a day for food.
Clothing costs are set at $184.30. a year, with
$21.50 as one-half the cost of a suit, $14.21 for
one-third of a coat, $11.70 for shirtwaists, $1372
'or one year's proportional Jpst of a serge dress
and $13.97 for an evening dress also bought to
last two years. The cost of a coat, it will be un
derstood, is to be amortized over three years,
and the suit is to be worn for two years.
All this would be very helpful if human
wants and needs could be standardized. Perhaps
it may be of some account for reference in seek
ing out where extravagance or undue economy
may be found. But no such hard and fast rules
can be laid down for general application.
One thing is sure, that if this minimum of liv
ing costs were applied in all cases, a lot of stores,
factories and other business houses would have
to shut down for lack of business. The myster
ious thing is that while a great many people have
incomes larger than these prescribed amounts,
a still greater number has smaller ones and yet
continues to live. The conclusion that some are
forced to exist beneath the minimum standard
of comfort is inescapable once a budget estimate
such as this is accepted as fair.
Another Lesson From the Air.
The terrible accident which befell an army
ambulance plane carries a lesson not to be
neglected. Whatever the technical fault may
have been, and this will probably be in dispute
a long time between the experts, the lay mind
will turn to the fact that the flight was under
taken in face of conditions that might have jus
tified its postponement.
Some birds breast the storm, finding delight
in pitting their apparently puny strength against
the majesty of the elemental wrath. Most of
them, however, seek shelter when a storm blows
up. These have a decided advantage over man,
in that they may alight easily and find safe perch
almost anywhere. The giant airships can not
do this. Until better methods of control are de
vised, that landings may be made safter, and a
plane can come to rest almost anywhere in emer
gency, it is foolhardy to undertake long flights
under conditions that add so greatly to the or
dinary risks of air passage. Men who hazard
iife or limb in the air service may well be ex
cused if at such times they take precautions
that are warranted. -
The unfortunate accident at Milwaukee is
what might be expected at an exhibition of stunt
flying. Terrible risks are assumed, just to af
ford a thrill for the multitude. Nothing can.
support the unnecessary jeopardy into which
both the performers and the spectators thrust
themselves at such times. It is deplorable, but
it is only another of many proofs of the un
natural craving for sensation that marks the time,
time.'
Best Wishes for India.
Drouth, extravagance and speculation are
among the factors that have induced a trade
slump in India similar to that which exists in
almost every corner of the world. This seems
very far away, although many Americans are
kept in close sentimental touch with the condi
tion in India through church missionary enter
prises. No one wants to see the people of Asia starve,
but the increased poverty which has marked
many districts there has more than its humani
tarian aspects. Commercial experts assert that
a recovery in the Orient would be a most favor
able factor in improving the business situation in
America. ,
It is as the largest producer of raw cotton,
that the United States has a commercial interest
over thereJ India is the largest importer of cotr
ton piece goods in the world. Its 350,000,000
inhabitants use it almost entirely for their dress.
But India does not buy this goods from Ameri
can factories. No, but the British miils buy
about one-fourth of America's cotton crop in nor
mal times, and 30 per cent of the output of those
extile factories was .sold to India, before the
war. The disturbances in Russia and the depres-,
sion in China and Japan have likewise affected
this demand.
It may seem romantic that hard times away
off in Asia could exert a bad influence over the.
whole southern part of the United States, but it
fs true nevertheless. No nation today is indc-,
pendent of any other part of the world. In
fluenza, some medical men claim, spread from
Western Europe over the whole world, and until
this plague, spot is cleaned up danger will not be
past. In much the same way do bad economic
conditions make their way around the globe, and
Instead of one nation, being better off when others
are in distress, the burden falls on all.
A Mockery of Justice.
Nineteen men, found guilty of price fixing
after the investigation ' of the building' material
combine in New York . City, have been released
upon payment of $500 fines. Samuel Untermyer,
who served as prosecutor and special investi
gator in these cases, has sent in his resignation,
announcing -that he does not intend to seek any
more indictments until legislation can be se
cured which will insure imprisonment for these
offenders.
' "The belief that these malefactors can secure
iijimunity'by surrendering a pittance of their ill
gotten gains if they happen to be trapped will
serve only to stimulate them to further viola-'
tions," he wrote to the attorney general of 'the'
state, and continued: "I did not volunteer, and
I am not willing to act as a collecting agency
for the state in gathering in shekels for permis
sion to persist in flagrant violations of law that
are far more perilous to the public welfare and
safety than are the aggregate offenses of all the
unfortunate inmates of the penitentiary, many
of whom yielded under great temptation while
these men had no provocation1 save greed."
The mass of the people will agree with his
point that the manner of enforcement of state
and national anti-trust laws in the past few years
is such as "to breed contempt for the law and
support a powerful argument in the hands of
demagogues and enemies of organized society
that our criminal laws are not enforced against
the rich and powerful in the same spirit as against
the poor and lowly." Combines to fix prices
and control production! are a menace to the
American people as consumers. Imposition of
a small fine on men who are found guilty of this
practice is nothing more than a mockery of jus
tice. . t
Before making a further movfc in the Dsbs
case, Attorney General Daugherty intends to
make a thorough study of the socialistic move
ment, but it is not to be feared that he will be
induced thereby to abandon the republican party.
A bill in the Florida legislature would limit
the income of all lawyers to $3,000 a year. This
might be all right if it did not go so far as to
guarantee every barrister that as a minimum. '
Summer, at least, has reached normalcy.
Government As Mediator
What Secretary Dapis Has Tried
To Do In Settling Labor Dispuies
, (Front; the Washington Post.)
, The complaint conies with poor grace from
the American Steamship Owners association
that "the encouragement that the leaders of the
unions feel. they are receiving from the secretary
of labor tends to prolong a controversy which
shows every promise of being quickly and com
pletely ended," It displays a spirit that is not
conducive to industrial peace and mutual con
ridence.
Secretary Davis' efforts to bring about an
amicable adjustment ot tne marine sirixe nave
been in the public interest and with a view to
securing a square deal lor both employers and
employes. His attempts at conciliation have been
hedged with great difficulties, because the work
ers have positively refused to accept a moderate
reduction in wages, on the one hand, and the
shipowners have declared their intention of de
clining to sign another wage scale, on the other
hand. Between these two unyieiaing positions
the role of peacemaker has been difficult.
But Secretary Davis has been persistent and
patient. In his youth he worked in the iron mills
and was a member of the labor union, so that he
is now able to appreciate the viewpoint of the
worker who is asked to forego a portion of his
earnings. In later years he rose to a position of
large affairs, which enables him to understand
the feelings of the employer who sees his busi
ness threatened by excessive labor costs. Also,
his experience in philanthropic works and his
close touch with humanity through a long period
have given him a true perspective from the
standpoint of the public interest. Possessing
these qualities, Mr. Davis has clung tenaciously
to the h,ope of bringing the contending factions
to a common ground where an agreement is pos
sible, and in so doing he is serving the nation
well.
The lofty attitude of criticism assumed by
the shipowners indicates that these gentlemen
are disposed to regard this strike as a private
quarrel, in, which force alone is to decide the
issue. This is a decidedly faulty understanding
of the facts. From the viewpoint of Secretary
Davis and of the American public which he rep
resents, there is much more involved in this dis
pute than the purely selfish demands of the ship
owners and the marine workers. There arc
questions of justice to be considered, touching
both parties; there is the national interest in
volved in the maintenance and extension of
America's foreign trade, and there are other fac
tors which apparently are lost to sight of both
employers and strikers.
In one of his speeches in New York President
Harding announced as the outstanding aspiration
Of his administration to "inaugurate the era of
understanding." He said: "I want understand
ing, between the captains of industry and those
who make up the toiling forces." No higher goal
of service could be set by the chief executive,
and his secretary of labor, in his persistent en
deavors to settle the marine workers strike, is
but translating into action the great principle
enunciated by his chief. .
During his brief tenure of the portfolio of
Labor, Mr. Davis has one great accomplishment
to his credit in the settlement of the wage dis
pute between the packers and their employes.
This controversy, also, involved to a large extent
the public interest, and it was realized that a
strike in the meat industry would prove a great
hardship to the American people, as well as a
further detriment to an already stagnated busi
ness condition. Secretary Davis intervened, and
as a result an agreement was reached and the
strike averted.
Are government agencies to be condemned
as meddlers for using their good offices to pie
serve industrial peace? Are peaceful arbitra
ments to be discarded in favor of settlements by
force? If so, the doctrine of Understanding so
impressively i urged by the president has scant
hope ,of development , into fruition. Secretary
Davis is proceeding in the interests of the Amer
ican nation as a whole, and he is warranted in
going ahead so long as there remains a bare
possibility of success.

Whether it be regarded as a threat or a warn
ing, the memorial drafted by the liberal-constitu
tionalist deputies presents grave political condi
tions to the consideration of the president of
Mexico; f or the government of the United
States also it is fraught with serious possibili
ties. President Obregon presumably knows how
to deal with enemies of his administration. It is
to be hoped that he will unhesitatingly act with
whatever degree of severity the situation calls
for. Doing so may not, however, contribute to
maintenance of that state of peace which it was
thought had been ushered in by his election and
installation as president of, Mexico.
Beware the fate of Francisco Madero. are
the alarming words employed to emphasize the
demand for a change of executive policy.
Charges are made that lertain members, of the
Obregon cabinet are disloyal and consoirinK
against the- administration. The memorialists
hint broadly that Obregon is in the same danper
that surrounded Madero before that president
wasv imprisoned and then slain in 1913.' But
.their , -warning .may have a double meaning. If
they are not given their way do they intend
themselves to overturn the government? Which

seize, it is apparent that all his force and sa

his authority. Fittsburgh Oazette-limes.
Baby Pilgrims
,"A touch of nature that makes the world kin
has assured a fervent welcome in America for
the babies of indeterminate paternity that have
been brought here from Great Britain for adop
tion. The thirteen that arrived on the Aquitania
found clamorous, heart-starved applicants wait

have foster parents impersonally inflicted on
them; they are to do their own choosing. A
peculiar embarrassment arises in the case of the
twins who cannot unite in a choice of parents-to-be.
:The pictures show children that, with the
careful nurture they are likely to receive, should
prove a credit to any family. It is one of the
pitiful ironies- of fate that such bright and at
tractive youngsters should be denied homes of
their own, not meredy because of parental need
but in some cases because of callous parental
indifference. Those into whose hitherto child
less homes they come will lavish upon them a
dcvotioB that is real and abiding. They may be
trusted in the majority of instances to reward
that devotion with a real affection and to acquit
themselves with cerdit to themselves and to
those-who received them into their homes. If
they were abandoned is not their fault. Their

MALNUTRITION IN
CHILDREN.
All authorities are argeed that
malnutrition in children Is responsl
ble for bad health and bad scholar
ship. Futhermore, they are agreed
that many children are poorly nour
ished. Whether this Is due to bad
economic conditions, poor food sup
ply, poor home discipline, errors In
instinctive appetites, or to bad teeth
there is not the same agreement.
The man who has done 'more
than any one else to call attention
to malnutrition in chUdren is Dr.
Emerson of Boston. He contends
that every child more than 7 per
cent below the weight proper for
his height is poorly nourished to a
sufficient degree to feel the effects.
Here again we have some disagree
ment. Others say Dr. Emerson
should take into consideration the
age of the child and its racial and
family peculiarities.
Dr. T. Clark of the United States
public health service lays down
three rules for determination of the
state of nutrition. They are:
Weight with respect to age and
height, rate of growth, behavior,
and appearance.
The first two or tnese are as 101
lows: Boys should gain 6 ounces
a month when between & ana s
years old. Between 8 and 12 years.
8 ounces a month; between iz ana
16, 16 ounces a month, and between
16 and 18, 8 ounces a month.
With eirls. the rate of Increase in
weight are somewhat different, be-
in 6 ounces a montn rrom & to s
years, 8 ounces,. 8 to 11; 12 ounces,
11 to 14; 8 ounces, 14 to 16, ana 4
ounces, 16 to 18.
To form any opinion from the
gain in weight , the weighing must
be carefully done on accurate
scales and the weight of the cloth
ing and the weighing time must be
the same in relation to meal time
and the time for the toilet. If these
are taken- into consideration con-1
slderable light on nutrition is
thrown by the rate of growth.
According to the table or tne
child health organization, from
which the above scale of rate of
growth was also taken, the height
and weight of boys of different ages
normally range within the following
figures:
Age. Height, Weight,
Years Inches Founds
5 39 to 46 35 to 48
6 39 to 49. 36 to 55
7 39 to BS 37 to 62
8 42 to 54 44 to 69
9 45 to 56 49 to 77
10 .47 to 60 54 to 91
11 48 to 63 57 to 105
50 to 64 62 to 113
13 53 to 69 71 to 138
14 55 to 74 78 to 162
13 51 to 76 86 to 174
16 58 to 76 91 to 175
17 69 to 76 97 to 176
18 61 to 76... 110 to 177
For girls the measurements and
weights are given as:
Age, Height, Weight,
Years Inches Pounds
5 S!) to 46 34 to 48
6 39 to 49 35 to 53
7 39 to 52 36 to 62

12 50 to 66 61 to 119
13 53 to 69 70 to 129
14 55 to 71 77 to 138

16 58 to 72 91 to 147
17 " 59 to 72 98 to148
18 60 to 72. .... .103 to 149
While there are broad ranges in
weight and height for age the
weight for a given height does not
vary ' much from the figures given
Dr. Emerson. The measuring must
be done under uniform conditions
as to shoe heels. It must be regular
and systematic. Other signs of
malnutrition are pallor, dullness,
listlessness. easily produced fatigue,
dark rings under eyes, no pep, poor
scholarship, nervousness, fretful

Brighter Days for
Austria
(From the Boston Transcript.)
With a settlement of the problem
of German reparations finally
reached, prospects for an early re
habilitation of Austria have become
much brighter. Once the "brilliant
second" to the luster of the Hohen
rollerns, Austria is still largely de
pendent for her prosperity upon the
German republic. Few countries in
Europe have emerged from the war
In a more pitiable condition. Austria
of today is small in area, boasting
a population no greater than that of
the average third-rate power; it
is heavily laden with debt, its cur
rency is all but worthless, and it
stands In almost total lacK or Tne
raw materials necessary to put in
motion again the long-arrested
wheels of industry. The Austrian
people dwell under the shadow of
starvation, end in Vienna, ineir
capital, starvation is reported al
ready to have exacted a heavy toll
of human life.
The return of a fair measure of
prosperity to 1 Germany, therefore,
should exert a beneficial effect upon
Austria. But help of another-kind,
we are given 'to understand from
European dispatches, will soon be
given to the Vienna government.
The league of nations has drawn up
plans whereby it proposes to put
Austria into a temporary receiver
ship; and under such a receiver
ship, the league hopes, through an
international loan, to restore Aus
tria again to a sound financial basis.
An international committee of ex
perts has already made a study of
the problem, and this committee
will present its recommendations,
on May 20, to the financial commit
tee of the league of nations, sched
uled to meet together on that day in
London. If the recommendations
are approved, the next step will be
to put into operation the receiver
ship. It is hardly less essential for the
stability of Europe that Austria be
placed again on a productive basis
than it is that Germany begin to
take its proper share in wonld pro
duction. A bankrupt and broken
Austria will necessarily remain a
European liability, and the sooner
it ' is put on its feet again, the
better. .
For Sweating Feet.
H. L. G. writes: "For more than
60 years I was bothered with per
spiring feet like L. R.'s. I always
had washed my feet in hot or warm
water. For some years now I wash
them only in cold water (every
night) and am absolutely free from
such trouble. I can wear a pair of
socks a whole week without detect
ing the slightest oder. My feet never
blister or get itchy as they former
ly did."

Local treatment of the throat,
nose, and ears may be of service.
Probably not, however.
Skin Tuberculosis.
J. C. writes: "Is it possible to have
tuberculosis of the skin? If so, how,
is the disease distinguished and what
are the symptoms? Is it treated in
ternally or externally? Is, there a
postive cure?"
REPLY.
Yes. Skin tuberculosis usually ap
pears as ulcerating nodules. These
ulcerated patches have a tendency
to extend. It is a chronic ulceration.
It is treated by exposure to sunlight,
by x-rays, and local applications. Tu

mize in some other direction to pay
for it.
(From th Washington Mar.)
Now that tho grind on Capitol
Hill is in progress again, Jokes at
tho expense of thu Congressional
Record some of them hoary with
use are reappearing. Why is the
publication? Who reads it? Has
it a single interested reader but the
proofreader?
Yes, at least two others. Ont Is
tho man who helps make it. The
senator Xir representative who likes
his office and wants to keep it reads
the Record with care and especially
when he appears in it. When ho has
spoken ho wants to see if his re
marks are correctly recorded. When
he has voted he wants to see if his
name is in the right column. He is
thinking of tho campaign for re
election. The other man Is at home figuring
on succeeding that senator or rep
resentative; searching tho Record
for a possible slip of the tongue or
mistaken vota on the part of the,
it'fcjauiiur. jjti h. sup or niiHiuKen
vote appear, and tho aspiring man
behind tho llring line, but anxious
for a place there, pounces on it, and
parades it in his speeches for all it
may be worth as a campaign docu
ment. -
But, of course, there are many
other readers of the Record great
numbers. There is no publication
comparable with it for information
about governmental matters; about
what is going on in congress, and
what the people at home are think
ing. The bills and resolutions intro
rtuced; the petitions presented; the
speeches made and votos cast, are
itidexe ; of public sentiment in the
taw sometimes very raw as well
as of sentiment which shows thought
in its formation.
As the Star has said before, tho
Record is so good and useful a pub
lication it ought to be illustrated
ought to carry pictures.

"Such a Headache.'
Omaha, May 28. To the Editor
of The Bee: "The next war!"
There are already rumors that there
is another one in store for us. I
read a reprint from the Now York
Globe, in The Bee, in whlrh Will
Irwin states that the next war will
Iih a destruction of civilian popula
tions by gases dropped from the air.
If another war conies such a thing
may result. But if the next war is
to bo fought by such processes, iBn't
it duo time to disarm?
A war Involving such tactics
would destroy civilization. We are
reaching a dangerous point of de
velopment when men grant a prep
aration for such a thing. Do w
really wish to contlnuo this insane
logic of war, and wipe out the pre
eminence of the white race? Isn't
it time to put on the brakes and
stop the wheels of progress from
slipping into the abyss Of destruc
tion? ,
Why doesn't some Insane scientist
Invent a bomb that would blow up
the whole earth at once and be done
with it?
Some people laugh and tell us
that there will be wars unto the end
of time. But time won't last long
for us if we keep Inventing poison
guses to wipe out populations with.
Isn't there sproe way to stop this
insanity? What can come of It but
ruin and death?
"The next war!" We might as
well close our eyes and stop our
ears to the horror of it. It seems
destined to come. Senator Capper
writes that the next war will prob
ably come suddenly, and it will de
stroy suddenly and civilization may
go with it. v C. SJOBLOM.

Why gasoline quality is the
determining factor
You can't see whether the gasoline comes
into your cylinders as a fine mist or as a,
heavy spray. Yet that is the thing which
largely determines the power and mileage
you get from gasoline.
The nature of the gasoline spray governs
these things the power of the explosion,
the completeness of combustion, the amount
of gasoline for each piston stroke and the
speed with which carbon will collect and
the lubricating oil become diluted.
Unless your gasoline vaporizes readily in
all weathers, and unless it is uniform," you
cannot adjust your needle valve to give
maximum power and at the same time
maximum economy.
Use Red Crown Gasoline tvhich meets all
U-- ' U. S. Government specifications
Complete and uniform vaporization, and a
series of boiling point fractions which in
sure quick ignition and complete combus
tion these are the characteristics of . good
gasoline, straight-distilled gasoline. The
Red Crown Gasoline you can buy every
where is this superior quality gasoline. It
meets the standards required by the United
States Government for motor gasoline.
Look for the Red Crown Service
Station ,
The prompt, courteous service Red Crown
Service Stations afford and the dependable
gasoline and motor oils they sell add to the
convenience, pleasure and economy of
motoring. Drive ia where you see .the sign
of the Red Crown where the little, but
appreciated, courtesies such as free air for
a soft tire, water for a hot radiator and road
information and directions are cheerfully
given.
