With proper economies and the return of normal business conditions railroads could lower rates and still earn 6 per cent on their capitali zation, according to S, Davies Warfield, presi dent of the National Association of Railroad Securities Holders. "The question for the mo ment is," h told the senate interstate commerce commission, "can sufficient revenue be obtained from rates and fares that will be considered reasonable by the public and the shippers, and will these rates bear a relation to the price obtainable for the articles transported that will not impede commerce; or will part of the money required to meet the necessities of transporta tion have to be supplied in the public interest by taxation?" A neater summing up of the railroad situation it would be hard to find. If a government sub sidy is required, this would mean government operation and ultimately public ownership, and Mr, Warfield is not alone in wishing to avoid this contingency. The one' central fact is that railroad rates must come down. The spokesman of the stockholder is not convinced that the contemplated reduction in wages will enable the railroads entirely to satisfy the demand for lower rates, but surely the public and the work ers cannot be expected to bear the burden alone. Lower freight rates would do more to encourage business recovery than any one other thing. If transportation is to contribute its part, it should not wait for a boom, but should make the first move. ' Watch the Skies Tonight. Admiration and not fear is the proper emo tion in. the event of a shower of meteors in the sky tonight The Pons-Winnecke comet passed , close to the earth's orbit two weeks ago and may licve left some cosmic dust in its trial. As astronomers measure distances, that is, the comet came close just 10,000,000 miles away from t ie earth, Although the wanderer has now passcJ far beyond this, the earth tonight will enter the spacial region lately so nearly touched by the comet. The meteoric matter which has been cast off from the main body may or may not have swarmed across the world's path. In the one case, these particles, traveing at a speed of 45 miles a second, will be instantly burned up when they rush into the band of atmosphere which surrounds our planet. A rain of shooting stars, falling in long lines of fire, with dazzling globes of light going off in unheard explosions, is a beautiful phenomenon. Too bad that this could not have been arranged for the Fourth of July. Living to Be a Thousand. Three score and ten is all too short, says Bernard Shaw, who has written a new booktof plays called "Back to Methusaleh." Men da not live long enough really to begin to think, he says. Just as they show promise of. hitting a good mental stride, death comes to end it all and a fresh generation has to start in at the be ginning, work toward knowledge and then itself be removed from earthly activity. "Back to Methusaleh," he urges make the normal life a thousand years so there may be some continuity of progress. No one since primi tive times has lived long enough to learn how to govern the world in the interests of man kind and be able to pass over immediate success or fame for the things that will stand the test of centuries. There is a flimsiness about civilization, a shiftiness about the devices of government, and a surfeit of unripe advice. But would a race living through ten centuries be able to do the job more thoroughly? Mr. Shaw is rather out of tune with that critical modern idea that too much reliance has' been put on the past and that old men, Clinging to wornout theories, are brakes on progress. And how about the theory that declares the impossibility of absorbing new ideas after the early 20s? Nor is it possible to live a thousand years merely because Mr. Shaw thinks It might be a good thing. Seed Cora of the Nation. . It would indeed be difficult to find a better investment than child welfare. Those in this movement have been an instrument of great good in safeguarding the physical and mental development of the young in the manufacturing and mining districts of the east. jNo such con ditions prevail there now as marked the begin nings of industrial organization when boys and girls as young as five years were set to tedious and soul and body-destroying tasks. Seventy per cent of America's child laborers are now found in rural occupations, Owen R. Lovejoy stated at a social conference in Mil waukee. In the cotton fields, and among the onions, tobacco, beets and wheat, there are chil dren who ought to be in school or at normal play, he declares. "It is all right for children to work," he says, "but pot to be worked at the expense of health, play, schooling, and a free, fair,, fighting chance. Although the report is one frequently made, it never fails to come as a surprise to hear that the average rural child is less healthy than the child of the cities. An exaggerated idea of the innate healthfulnesi of farm life still persists, and the Improvement that is found in so many rural communities may yet fortify It with fact. In a day when so much reliance is placed on legal regulations and restrictions, it is good to hear this leader in child welfare work say that the remedy lies with the family and the com munity rather than with legislatures and pro hibitory laws. Child labor laws applicable to the factory districts could not be applied to the entirely different situation in the country, and there is some question whether they fit altogether in cities where strong and willing boyi on their vacation are sometimes barred from light em ployment and forced to live in idleness. The nation wants stronger, healthier boys and girls, and a campaign of education against such evils as slighting school in order to pick cotton or tend the beets, or keeping children five years old and up at backbreaking toil undoubtedly could do much good. Have a Heart To Be Ashamed of Sentiment Is Unreasoning. From The Boston Qlabe Helping to Move the Crops. The lower discount rate which is to go into effect July 1 is timed to meet the seasonal in crease in borrowings incident to the harvest and movement of grain. The Tenth Federal Reserve district, of which Omaha fs a member, is the last district to have this brake on loans removed. No one need fear that the speculative ac tivity which resulted from the inflated condition of the years immediately following the war is to be permitted to resume. Nor is it to be be lieved that money will be as easy as some engaged in the business of production would wish. But coming when it does, the abolition of progressive rates will serve a most useful pur pose and will do much to remove the impression that the needs of the agricultural sections are to be neglected. Senator Kenyon hat introduced a bill to in- crease the membership of the Federal Reserve board from seven to eight by including the secretary of agriculture. For the sake of the larger usefulness of the reserve system and to give it the fuller confidence of the farmers, such an amendment can be heartily endorsed, A Drop in the Bucket, ' , Statistics ctn be adduced to prove almost anything. Consider the announcement based on the census reports that the Japanese population of the United States has increased 53.9 per cent since 1910, while the white population showed a rate of increase of only 16 per cent No doubt On the Pacific coast a great deal will be made of these figures, without much reference to the main point the actual number of Japanese. Anyone can see that if there were two Japanese here ten years ago and this has been increased now to three, there has been an increase of 50 per cent As a matter of fact, there are now 111,025 Japanese now in this country, a gain of 38,868 in ten years, or less than 4,000 a year. This race now forms a thousandth part of the total population of America. The negroes, who showed a smaller rate of increase than ever be fore, growing only 6.5 per cent, form about one- tenth of the total population. While their growth has been through the birth rate, immigration has undoubtedly swollen the numbers of the apanese." In all of Japan there are only 56,000,000 people, iust a little more than half the population of America. Their territory is smaller than Texas, and only 16 per cent arable. Emigration some where is inevitable, although it is probable that California, which now has 71,000 Japanese, is correct in feeling that it has enough. How ever," taking our nation as a whole, the Japanese can not be considered numerous enough here or at home to cause any great worry. Value of Farms Doubled. An increase of farm values amounting to more than $32,000,000,000 In 10 years is reported by the census bureau. During this period from 1910 to January 1, 1920, the area of cultivated land increased only 6 per cent, while the valua tion rose 94.8 per cent. New buildings and other improvements are responsible for only part of the gain reported in the middle western district. including Nebraska and Iowa, by which-the average value per farm went up to $22,317 from $10,464, the average in 1910. Farmers are found now and then who do not regard the high price of land as a wholesome thing. It is not considered to compensate tor losses on crop production. They say that it drives men to the city and declare that their I sons cannot hope to get hold of a farm and start in as the older generation did. That tenantry is encouraged by high land values is unques tionable. And while increased acreage prices may aM tn the farmer's wealth when he sells, the farmer who buys and then attempts to secure an income from production equal to interest on his investment does not feel the advantage of the high level. Few would wish to see a slump in farm prices, but neither will many actual farmers wish to see a speculative boom send land values up an other 94 per cent in the next 10 years, unless the profits of agriculture rise to a point justify ing such a movement . The newly-formed Institute for Food Re search, which has received a Carnegie endow ment, will never be a success until it is able to tell how to buy a dollar's worth of fodder witn 50 cents. Among the thousand and one legends of the Rhine is the story of the Seven Sisters of Schoen berg. They were seven of the loveliest creatures who ever smiled opun men. cut their smiles were prompted by the hardest of hearts, and were smiles of scorn. The seven sisters were the despair of all suitors. One day, taking courage from a large coin pany which had assembled at the castle, some cavaliers reproached the maidens. Followed the suggestion that from the company the sisters should select seven young bloods considered worthy of becoming their husbands. The idea was encouraged. The maidens directed all who sought favor to appear at the castle in the morn inn and the seven lucky men would be chosen In the morninz the castle hall was crowded with knights. There was a sprightly display of casques and plumes and gold-hilted swords, and hooe was Men in many a manly breast A Ions wait ensued. No sign of the seven beautiful sisters. Suddenly, through an open window came a chorus of mocking laughter, and there was a rush to the windows. The seven sisters were seated in a boat out on the river. From their bark they made merry at the ex pense of the young men they had fooled. But, alasl as they jested, the boat capsized. Scornful laughter changed its tune, and became pititul screaming, ihe last seen ot the nara-neartea seven were their draperies, as they disappeared under the water. Thus is explained the origin of seven cruel rocks which, concealed under the surface of the river, today menace navigation. There is a moral in the legend of the seven Sisters of Schoenberg. The man or woman whose heart is proof against the appeal of sen timent is Suffering from a fatal disease. Of all the ills to .which flesh and mind are heir, none is more pitiable than inordinate love of self. We are inclined to think that sentiment is something of which we ought to be ashamed, It is nothing more nor less than poetic imagi nation, and surely this is a cause not for shame, but for pride. Lacking that, a person becomes a self-condemned outcast In his or her pack there is lacking one piece of equipment which can become a solace to a weary spirit at many a rough spot on the highway o: life. bentiment is not sentimentality tnat spuri ous, artificial imitation wmcn invests common olace things with euphemistic names nor is it, as movie-surfeited folk may imagine, merely a matter of sex. The cherishing of old friendships, of old as sociation, of pleasant memories, ot youtntui ideals is a counter-irritant for the selfishness with which we are all, to Varying degrees, afflicted. Even old love affairs, which have caused pain, may become the source of lasting happiness. Youthful love affairs, whatever their outcome, are more often than not associated with ideal ism. To ridicule them may be a cruel and de structive act. Dante, who has given to the world something of his self which is imperish able, testifies that his whole spiritual life sprang from his hapless love for Beatrice. Where wholesome sentiment displaces the sense of personal loss, even the death of a friend or kinsman may cease to cause us pain and from the storehouse of memory we derive constant pleasure and comfort. Nor is the instinct which leads one alone to revisit former stamping grounds, visualizing incidents of the nast, some thing of which to be ashamed. When a boy leaves pleasant associations to wander over the face of the earth, the explana tion may be imagination. But when a person without a regret or parting thought breaks with a pleasant past, he is probably, deficient in imaginative qualities. ' , There are persons who can drop a coin in the slot and extract 100 per cent of personal benefit or enjoyment from friendships and asso ciations of the hour, then throw away the wrap per of memory and seek new fields on the mor row. It is the way of the sensualist, the invet erate lover of self. Such a person may flatter himself that he is level-headed, practical, un sentimental. But he dwells in a fool's paradise. He is not of the same kith and kin with the great artists of the centuries, who have enriched life immeasurably from their experience. Warm hearts need no alibis or excuses. Their owners will escape the fate of the Seven Sisters of Schoenberg. An Outstanding Need From the Advocate of Peace. - Yale has decided to continue singing "Bright College Years" to the tune of "Die Wacht am pt,m" Another aim the war is over, even if congress does not know ft. A spiritualist tells the world that Edison is guided by influences in the immaterial realm, which may explain where he got those ques tions. This country's outstanding need is an era of good feeling. We are now in the midst of an era of bad feeling. So long as the war party was in the saddle, the war being over, such an era was inevitable. During the war we as a people reached a maximum of unity, for we were actuated by a common purpose. The war being over in fact, our armies being disbanded, we look up our varying tasks, the war government, the while, remaining in control. Under such circumstances we found it difficult to readjust ourselves to the problems of peace. Our war and civic forces were in conflict The era of ill feeling grew in our midst by leaps and bounds. The result was November 2, 1920. 1 he era of ill feeling is not ended. Economic readjustments at a time of falling prices and reduced wages, of unprecedentedtaxes, of crip pled means of transportation, of agrarian disap pointments, produce their irritations both in our economic and political spheres. So far as any of these diniculties can be met and solved, they can be met and solved only by the application of the principle ot good will. It is a fact of our history that whenever we have suffered espe :iaiiy irom ill will and conflict in this country it has been when we have had in the White House a president unfamiliar with the works of congress. It is fair to presume that Mr. Cleve land, Mr. itoosevelt Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson would have had much less trouble and fared far better had they previously served an aoorantice- tfhip in the house or senate. Whenever we have had an era of good feeling In this country it has been when we have had a president familar at first hand with the ways of congress. Mr. Harding has had six years of experience in the United States senate. He. knows the methods, the points of view, of the majority of the very men upon whom he must depend for legislative action and a realizable foreign policy. That is a hopeful immediate fact in current politics. r International Finance and Ireland. Geneva, Neb., June 14. - To the Editor of The Bee: Allow me to congratulate you for the evidence you afford In this mornlng'a edi torial, "Ireland and the World's Conscience," that there is at least one editor of an American newspa per who thinks that America is something better than a tenth-rate crown colony of England, peopled by remittance men, and misfit flun keys and lackeys of the English junkers. Tou correctly point out that the conscience of the world dis approves of English barbarism and will disapprove more strongly of an intensification of that barbarism. It would be even more creditable if you went on to discuss the con nection that exists between the in tensification of English barbarism in Ireland and the proposal to "fund" the American loans that make that barbarism possible.

The bureau of standards issues the following: In order to eliminate the brown stains which frequently appear on new limestone masonry and which are thought to be due to the mortar, tests have been started to determine the effect of using colorless waterproofing materials on the lime stone at points where it comes in contact with the mortar. The indications are that if water can be prevented from leeching through the mortar and entering the limestone that stains will not occur, ihe tests indicate that the greater nart of the stain can be prevented by this means. Another method of eliminating the stains. which is being tried, consists of coating the ex posed face of the limestone walls as they are built, with a porous coat that can be readily re moved. The stains come through the coat and form on the outer surface and by removing the coat the stain is removed also. The insoluble nature of the material which forms the stain makes it very difficult to remove from the lime stone, but by allowing it to. form on the coating, as mentioned above, it can be readiy removed. Since most of these stains form during the erec tion of the masonry, the method may prove of soma value, Federal Trade Information Service. John 6. Saxe on Omaha. Fremont. Neb.. June 24. To the Editor of The Bee: John G. Saxe. a Vermont poet, should be credited with the lines: Hast ever been In Omaha where rolls the dark Missouri down, Where four strong horses scarce can haul an empty wagon through the town. The half dozen, more or less. other stanzas don't make out the town a bad place. Tnere is mute an interesting story connected with the writing of the poem, which I heard In my boyhood days. Saxe was a close personal and political friend of Henry Keyes, one or tne incorporators or the union Pacific, for several years in the early aays one or its board or directors. and active in looking after its finances. He and Keyes, with some or the other directors. I presume, were in Omaha during a heavy rain back in the early sixitles. The party were out in a wagon which got mired and they had to walk to their notei. After they returned to Boston Saxe wrote the noem. "In Omaha.' and it at once caught the popular favor. , He was a frequent visitor at the home of Keyes, who lived in the Vermont town, where I spent some of my youthful days, and it was on one such occasion that I first heard the story of the railroad mea getting mired in the business part of umaha years before, and Saxe writ ing the poem. Perhaps he stole the opening lines rrom some one else, out they appear in airrerent collections or his poems. Kespectruiiy, A. K. DAME, Deflating Contributions. Omaha. June J.

Food cannot be digested, ab sorbed and turned into energy and tissue without making heat as a by-product, and in hot weather it is hard for the body of the baby to shed this heat. A baby on even a light diet eats a good deal more for each ounce it weighs than an adult does, Dr, Bauer has proved by careful studies that wrapping children up, putting them to sleep on feathers iL , ' 11,111 &ccpiiia mem ,ii uui uuukd uuro -..-V them even more harm than does mo IUU5KII,, UsnlUbn... In hardliner V Dr. Gerstley calls attention to cer tain other harmful influences. A baby three months old, thriving well On the bottle, .suddenly becomes peevish, irritable and began to vom it. Nothing had been changed ex cept the nurse. After three days he had learned his nurse and his trouble was at an end. An infant previously well, ceases to eat- pushes away its food and vomits if eating is forced. This keeps up and the child emaciates. Analysis shows no trouble except this: the child is an only child. He is neuropathic The parents and grandparents have concentrated their entire battery of affection and solicitude on him. He responds to the attention and the Immediate re action is loss of appetite. This in turn causes more solicitude and more food is given. This means less appetite, nausea and disturbed di gestion. In effecting a cure in such a case a change of environment is worth barrels ot tonics, says Doctor Gerstley. If hot "weather causes so much bowel trouble in babies, why is it that June is a healthy month for babies as Well as for adults? The babies seem to be able to withstand the June diarrhoeas. A large part of the babies who get fatally sick in July and August have really had in digestion and bowel disturbance since June. Though sick they have not been serlouBly sick. Many of them get thinner week by week and the hot nights and days of midsum mer find them emaciated and very weak. Many people find that such babies thrive when put on milk powder.

H. writes: "When my child goes to sleep he perspires and when he awakes from his sleep his shirt is wringing, wet. He is 1 years old. His meals are as follows: 7 a. m., bottle of milk; 1:80 a. m., orange juice; 10 a. m., oatmeal or farina and a cup of milk if he wants any; 1 p. m chicken soup, vegetable, class of milk: 6 v. m.. chicken soup baked apple or apple sauce and baked potato. He also eats raw apples and drinks plenty of water, but his appetite is very poor. He eats very little of anything.", , ( REPLY. Profuse sweating may indicate that your child has rickets. If not he is at least Improperly nourished. A 2-year-old child should be eating at regular meal times and at no other time, about as adults do. Do not give him a bottle of milk. In stead of that have him sit up to the table and - eat out of a plate and drink out of a cup or glass. Do not give him too much milk, about a pint or a pint and a half a day is enough. Give him stale bread,' toast or crackers in considerable Quantity, He should havo a cereal daily.

If you will apply Las sar's paste without ualioyliu acid, persistently, under your physician's directions, you will cure tha erup tion, provided the diet Is attended to. As a rule this eruption comes from a diet that is too rich in rats. Eggs in the diet is sometimes the cause. Send for Booklet Mrs. R. 3.
