Debate on the proposed revision of the tariff is scheduled to open in congress this week; until it is fairly under headway definite opinion can not be formed as to the shift in sentiment re garding the policy. What is certain at the out set it that there has been a very notable change r( attihirle on thi tariff auestion. Broadlv sneak ing, the west and south are on one side, with the era a i vii me vmta . a jiio vmuvij v vw ovm tional interest, although in this there is no new situation, save that the positions are almost re versed.

So completely did the war upset conditions that we now find the import tariff, while the big mill and factory owners are eager to have free trade as nearly as possible established, that they may get ad vantage in the foreign trade. It is the home market that requires protec tion. .The ambition of the manufacturers to con trol in the world trade is amply supported, be - cause Americans do not want to forfeit any ad vantage gained through the war. Yet it was recognized at the time, and is more than ever apparent now that a considerable part of the great export business of the United States was temporary in its nature, depending on the acci dental situation established by the; war, which had cut off our chief competitors for the time being. The United States could not hope to hold all of this trade, once England, Germany, France and Belgium had resumed production. Also, it is the natural and expected thing for those coun tries to seek a renewal of foothold for their trade in the United States, the greatest of all markets. This invasion is under way, and it is acraintt if that' tli tariff ia aimr1 .5iii0i - ------ We do not need to argue the postulate that any article made abroad and sold in this coun . j:t . j .... -r t :.:t try ul9f?ldlC9 MIC oaic tttiu uoc ui wig annual atu- i cle made at home.

In its general terms the problem is elemental. To work out the details and establish the sched ' ules is not so simple. Already signs of earnest and perhaps bitter debate on certain points is noted, and it will probably be many weeks be fore the measure begins to assume its final form. It is, however, the first great step of the repub lican administration towards redeeming its pledge to the country, and as such its progress will be closely watched. Mother Was Right (of Once. An Omaha mother led her grown-up son into police headquarters and delivered him up as an . automobile thief. "It is better that he should face the music, and not be running around, hid ing from justice," she said. And she was right. Her mother heart doubtless bled as she took her son on the sorrowful mission, but her common sense told her the way to reform led over the thorny path of repentance. The law may take full toll from her boy, because "Of his wayward ness, but it will not fall so heavily on him as if it were after he had been apprehended later on, when he had gotten further into the morass of crime. When he has had a few moments of rest and solitude for reflection, he will probably come to understand that his mother has acted - most wisely in presenting him for punishment, ' rather than making a futile attempt to shield him from punishment that would almost certainly overtake him in the end. Her course is contrary ; to that usually pursued by mothers, but it de serves commendation, because it is the right one. That boy ought to thank God for giving him such a mother. - Avoiding the Outstretched Hand. It's sanitary the military salute. But hand shaking, like kissing, has come under the con demnation of some medical men. It is true that only the other day a thousand or more phy sicians meeting in Washington adjourned to go . over to the White House to shake hands with President Harding, but afterwards a heated dis cussion arose over the advisability of abandon- ing the custom, at least so far as presidents are concerned. "Handshaking might be said to be more dan gerous than kissing," says orie medico, "as the infections which are conveyed are likely to be of a more varied nature. Colds can be very eas ily passed on by a handshake. The handkerchief of the person who is suffering from a cold in the : head is a perfect nest of disease germs which is being continually handled by the hand that in the course of the day may touch yours. The advisability of making the act of shaking hands against the law daring an epidemic of. any such disease as influenza is apparent to anyone with any training in medicine or biology." The warning ends with the suggestion that the military salute be substituted for the glad hand. Inasmuch as the campaign against kiss ing has shown little effect, it is probable that something more than a constitutional amend ment will be necessary to abolish the grip of " friendship, simulated or real. Book agents, solicitors, salesmen, politicans, persons wishing to borrow money, and all those who do not give a whoop about each other would be hard hit by any such prohibition, but no doubt would be left free to adopt the much more impressive Oriental salaam, instead of the army salute, bowing very low and placing the right palm on the forehead. Prospect for Peace in Ireland. The expected conference between Lloyd George, Premier Craig of Ulster and Eamonn de Valera is full of possibilities. Those who have watched the development of affairs in Ireland are inclined to think that if the meeting as pro posed takes place, something will come out of it that will restore peace and prosperity to Ireland, and bring about such relations between that is land and the rest of the British empire as will be good for all. The opening of the North of Ireland Parliament by the king last week was a notable event, and should a similar body be con vened at Dublin within the near future it would be a welcome notice to the world that a great ad vance had been made in direction of a per manent settlement of a conflict that has lasted for centuries. Friends of Ireland have slowly approached the conclusion that the republic is hopeless at this time. England is averse to its establishment, and only the most devoted of its supporters now look ahead to its ultimate existence. On the other hand, the offer of complete autonomy in home affairs, the enjoyment of practically the same liberties and privileges as those of Canada, Aus tralia, New Zealand and South Africa, is at tractive and being sincerely made, affords an honorable course for those who wish to end the deplorable state of public and private disturbance that now racks Ireland. Moderate Sinn Feiners are reported to be in support of the plan, ind ready to accept the measure of independence that is contained in its provisions. Irish sympathizers all over1 the world are willing to abide by whatever will meet the aspirations of the Irish people, and if the latter can content themselves with the latest Lloyd George proffer, the former will abide by the outcome. De Valera's course in meeting or declining to meet with the other premiers will indicate the choice for honorable peace or con tinued war in Ireland. Step-Brother to the Ox. Ox trains and prairie schooners brought thou sands of settlers to the west over sod trails in olden times. Then a network of railways pushed across the prairies and through the mountain passes, encouraging the belief that cross-continental travel would henceforth be entirely by train. With the development of the motor car, however, the old trails have been reopened and although the prairie schooner is now obsolete, it has been supplanted by the prairie scooter. Automobiles are seen every day in Omaha bearing license tags from the most distant states, traveling east, west, north or south. What has been done singly is now to be done in company. A caravan bearing 130 families of more than 600 persons is soon to set out in motor cars from Brooklyn, bound for Idaho, where they are to establish a farming community. This scene will revive thoughts of the slow and difficult progress of the pioneers. Com pared to the hardships endured by the men who brought their families overland seventy years ago, the punctures, blowouts and engine trou bles of this modern band will be as nothing. Their journey will be made at a speed which could not have been equalled by a stampede of the ox trains, over good roads, with comfortable stopping places and without any of the perils that beset their forerunners. Instead of facing hostile Indians they will be received by the governor of Idaho and experts from the state agricultural col lege. Truly, the world moves and gasoline pro vides much of the motive force. No Reason to Kick. The good things of life were never so ac cessible to the people as they are today. This fact alone would give reason for the congratula tory frame of mind which Howard Ellfott, a rail road president, displayed in his speech at a re union of the class of 1881 at Harvard. Even the transportation system, unsatisfactory as it may be in some of its present aspects, is. more ef ficiently run than it was forty years ago, when rebates and discrimination of various kinds were used to build up one concern into a monopoly and strangle its competitors. . America has moved ahead. The rich may have become richer, but the poor have not be come poorer. Living conditions are better in our country, even in the present time of depres sion, than they are in any other part of the world. According to the figures presented by Mr. Elliott, while population doubled in forty years, the wealth of the country has increased more than eleven times. This unprecedented growth, he considers, has encouraged a tendency to ex travagance and waste that has sapped at the foundations of prosperity. Misgivings of this kind were more frequently heard before the war than now. Yet when the emergency came the people of America, by their sacrifices, proved that they had not grown soft. It is unfair to say that America has been blessed with natural resources that alone should be given credit for progress and development. Nor is it just that the restless spirit which was respon sible for the achievements of the pioneers and the desire to press on to wider satisfaction of material and cultural cravings the very in centive which is responsible for the progress of the past should be condemned as menacing the welfare of the nation. . It is not gain in population or increase in the sum total of national wealth that matters most. It is how the people live and how the wealth is distributed that tells the tale. In forty years great advances have been made, through industry, invention, education, science and re gard for the ideals of life and government as set forth in the constitution of the United States. The same spirit is at work today, and while those on the top layer and those on the bottom are showing unrest and fear, the millions in be tween push forward without misgiving, realizing that the qualities that have carried us thus far will take us even further. Omaha's base ball team is doing its best to uphold the dignity of its home town. When the boys get on top and stay there, their mis sion will be fulfilled. If the Stillman divorce hearing were to be ad journed until cold weather, no one would com plain. Sixteenth and Farnam, without Dudley, will never be the same, , Civic Pride in What? Bragging of the Home Town Is No Sign of Excellence. ChirlotU Parker Gtlmwi la ttao Ootury From the innocent pride with which we all regard our "home town," to the civic megalo mania of "See Naples and die," human beings boast of their cities; yea hardly one among the boasters (now spelled "boosters") knows the real grounds for his pride. As boys brag of their fathers or of the merits of their mongrel dogs; as every man's motor car surpasses that of every other man, so do citizens esteem their cities with assertive acclaim. The current classic instance of this in genuously unfounded pride is the village egotism of the inhabitants of Gopher Prairie. They loved their town, they were proud of it, but not one of them could have passed a primary ex amination in civics. v What are the "points" of cities? How shall we compare one with another, and, allowing for geographic, climatic and economic limitations, describe the curve of possible ascent for the one we love best? Here is where we must establish standards. Vaguely we recognize these types in our com mon reference to a "factory town," a "mining town" or a "county seat" and so on. But, as to a factory town or any other kind that we want to know about and improve, how does it com pare with others? What Is a City? We need a little book on "What Is a City?" It should be a cheap little book that everybody can buy, a simple little book that everybody can understand, a sort of civic primer. Suppose we live, as so many of us do, in an ordinary .medium-sized town. Our "city book" should inform us that a normal town, with the number of inhabitants our own town has, should have such and such functions, adding to the sim ple requirements of the small village those other and more varied functions which the larger pop ulation of our town requires and can support. Such a list, for our ordinary medium-sized town, might run somewhat as follows: Smithy, store, postoffice, school, church, dessmaker, milliner, barber, drug store, mov ing pictures, court house, jail, fire company, hotel, hall. These are not placed in any dogmatic order of importance, or arranged with great care. A "pattern town" should be -described sug gesting the income that should be derived from legitimate taxation of its number of citizens, and showing just what advantages a town with such an income deserves and requires. Now, what are the points upon which we should base such a judgment of towns? Just as a starter, we might suggest these: Health, beauty, virtue, public spirit, educa tional facilities, social facilities, administrative efficiency, administrative honesty, progressive ness, minimum prosperity. The health and beauty listed would not mean the health and beauty due to natural advantages, but the efforts made by the' town to improve in these matters. Civic virtue and public spirit might perhaps, go under one head, measuring the proportion of citizens actively interested in the affairs of the community, and the quality of their service. For instance, anyone working in any 'store, shop, school, mill, or other form of public service, and not doing honest work, lacks civic virtue just as much as if he were in an official position. We live and die by the services of our fellows, whether elected or not. A man who builds dark tenements or who owns and rents such tenements lacks civic virtue. So does the packer who sells bad meat, the worker who does poor work, or the selfish and ignorant who rob the public by stealing flowers in the parks. We are already proud of our educational facilities, and we should see to it that the next generation can be far prouder. We are but be ginning to awaken to the need for providing so cial facilities as a civic function.' Tabs on Efficiency. We can keep tabs on administrative efficiency as soon as there is common knowledge of what we have a right to expect. As to administrative honesty think what a healthy thing it will be when we can learn from our "city book" which town has the worst record and which the best, and where we stand at home. Think of the eager committee on improvement sending for the com petent civic examiner, and having their town rec ords exposed to public knowledge in clear and simple terms. Minimum prosperity means the opposite of our present system of boasting of "first citizens;" it means boasting of the last ones, of the poor est. We now exult in a millionaire more or less and pass over without notice the mass of poor. What a town should be proud of is not the height of its maximum in wealth, but of its minimum; not "We have three millionaires in this town," but "There is not a family in this town with an income below $1,000." One thou sand dollars is only $20 a week, with a fort night's vacation. Little enough for any family today. When we have studied our existing towns, generalizing from numbers and showing the best we have done so far; when we have taken hpld with a will to make such improvements as we can in our stubborn, old-established towns, a great new social service can be done by develop ing a "sample town." This sample town should appear to be a per fectly ordinary industrial town, some new fac tory with its employes, placed where it could have land or water communication with the rest of us. It should have an agricultural base in the surrounding country, as any town does after a fashion. Then the problem .to be worked out would be the economic balance between local supplies, which save in transportation and such imported supplies as might save in other ways. A good kindergarten and school ought to have twenty children at least, properly to use two first-class teachers. To keep up thaj average number of children requires about two hundred women, since about ten women is the average number required to supply one child a year. Two hundred families means about a thousand per sons, a good number to base our calculations upon; and two hundred houses, grouped about their necessary public buildings, form a very pleasant little village. One central building, economical, but beauti ful, could house many of these. AH should be grouped conveniently about a pleasant little park. Economic Problem. The economic problem to be worked out is something like this: How few persons out of our four hundred adults are sufficient to do work not immediately productive, as cooking, teaching, preaching, keeping the store and the library? How much must be earned by those who produce raw materials, or manufactured articles for sale, in order to support the whole group? . At how little expense can heat, water, light and service be provided to such a group? A single plant, as in a great university, should burn all the coal without waste, and sup ply heat to the houses as well as community buildings. The company store is often a cruel imposition on industrial towns; this one should be kept for the purpose of establishing how cheaply goods can be supplied to the consumer, with fair wages to all concerned. It is probable that a purely agricultural neigh borhood could not support a well-supplied vil lage without some local industry to occupy labor in the winter and to add to the income of the place. To establish this point would be valuable. If we show that such and such, advantages are necessary to normal citizenship in order that children may grow up in full development; that such a sized group, and such a proportion of manufacture is essential to maintain these ad vantages; then our women are going to select such towns to live in, or devote their energies to the improvement of the towns where they do live, alonz these lines.

It Is the noon hour and most of the people around this desk have gone out. I look out the window and the streets are pretty well occupied by amateur base ball players. Across the way is a willow ware establish ment and a mixed team Is playing. A girl Is at bat. She picks out an easy one and knocks the ball on to the flat roof of a one-story Karaite. According to the ground rules this Ituthian effort draws only one base A player (foes on the roof to recover the ball and play Is resumed. Going to another part of the build ing and looking into a loading court I find the space occupied by G rover Alexanders and Kellys. While there la an occasional female Dicky Kerr who heaves a wicked ball, I am sure that at least 25 years will be re quired to make the female of the species Into material for mound stars. In other directions other groups are engaged in other kinds of play. The custom is a great one and well worth while from the health stand point. In the first place It means a light lunch. The person who exer cises actively during the last -15 to 30 minutes of the noon recess will soon find that he Is not at his best if he eats a heavy meal. Presently a light noon lunch will be more in vogue. In the second, place It means 30 minutes or more in the fresh air. Anything is better than the 30 or 40 minutes in the saloon the custom of the old days, but noth ing equals the policy of putting In this time in the open air. It means a period of deeper breathing, quick er pulse, and redder cheeks. There are some people who com plain of yawning while at work, especially during the afternoon. Here is the cure. Among those who play during one-half the noon recess period there are no afternoon yawners. They have no- trouble keeping awake .between 2 and 3 o'clock. It means brighter, snappier minds and closer attention during the afternoon hours. Statistics show that the accident rate In factories varies at different times during the day. When the men first set In to work is the period of maximum accident rate. The mind is still running on the experi ences of the night before or what happened at the noon hour. I do not know what effect play during a recess period has on the accident rate. It may be that the mind does not come back in the house readily and there is in con sequence a high accident rate for the first half hour. It may be that the break in monotony works to lower the accident rate of the first half hour. Experience will show which effect results, but I would be will ing to gamble a little that the ac cident rate in the first half hour of work following 20 minutes of play lees 0 6& Lower Street Car Fares. Omaha, June 26. To the Editor of The Bee: When I was talking to a man a few days ago, who formerly was quite prominently connected with the street railway company, he made the statement that the street railway company could carry pas sengers fot five cents and still make good money. He said he knows Just what he is talking about when he makes the statement.- - It is about time we would send Some men to the legislature who would have the laws so changed that the state railway commissioners would not have any say about our local affairs. The people of Omaha ought to bo able to decide what they want with out the interference of the ate rail way commissioners, who ride in au tos at the expense of the taxpayers of Nebraska, and do not know any more about the wants and wishes of those who ride on the street cars con stantly than the man in the moon. If the state railway commissioners in their usurpation of powers, grant the street railway company 8-cent fares, or even 7-cent, the common people of Nebraska should arise in their might and demand a recall of the railway commissioners, for they never know anybody but the cor porations when they have any issues before them that call for a decision between the people and the cor porations they decide against the people every time. The vast majority of those who ride on the street cars are working people and their families, and the Increase of fares will hit the com mon people a hard blow, and if it is done, the railway commissioners shold at once be recalled. ; With vast numbers of men out of steady employment, it is a poor time to ask for more money on the part of the street railway company. When men can become millionaires from their connection with the street rail way company and have palatial resi dences in other states, it is not very consistent, nor is it Just, that the fares on the street cars should be increased. ' From the past actions of the state railway commissioners, the street railway company could ask for even 10-cent fares and get It, for they have shown themselves the willing servants of the corporations. But there should be a demand made by the people of Omaha that the street car fares be reduced to 5 cents, and then the street railway company would make vast sums of money clear of all expenses. FRANK A. AGNEW. is lower than it was when that time was spent In a saloon. Much of the accident rate was due to lapse of attention during the later hours those of monotony and fatigue. My guess is that there win be fewer accidents during this period as a result of the few minutes of active play during the noon recess. It is a good practice. May it be come a custom. Feeding Htm Wrong. Mrs. H. A. S. writes: "1. My 10-rr.onths-old baby is not doing well' at all. He weighs 13 pounds. He has been having goat's milk diluted with an equal quantity of water every three hours. 2. Have been giving him cow's milk in the last week and three teaspoons sugar in an eight-ounce bottle. Is this all right and Is the milk all right? 3. What do you think he can have to cat? 4. Is sweetened condensed milk good for him? 5. Is beef tea that one buys at the drug store all right to give him? 6. I give him all the water hevwill take." REPLY. 1. Your child is undernourished. While you do not say how much you have fed him, a milk mixture that is half water is so weak that his stomach would have to be boiler size to hold enough to nourish him properly. 2. If you mean that you are now giving him undiluted milk his food is too rich for him. 3. Stait him with equal parts of milk ad water. Rapidly increase umyi you are giving him three -parts mjilt aid one part boiled water. Feed efy four hours during the day, buX not at all between 6 at night and 6 i ttie morning. In addition give feino. to mato juice or fruit juice. iEe skemli have a cereal. Start witfi satmeal water and later a thin gruel. Wtyk en this gradually. 4. It i$ prowded you give him fruit juice aid vege table soups. It Is valusjofe when there is no ice to keep ocsu's milk cold. 5. Do not give that. 6. Ordi narily that is all right, but I sus pect you have been giving your baby water when he needed food. Diet for Teethers. Mrs. L. S. writes: "Would you be kind enough to prescribe a diet for a 13-months-ofa baby who is teeth ing? Has eight front teeth. Is con sidered a healthy child. Have been feeding him on grade B milk, bread and butter, and cake." REPLY. Breakfast Cooked cereal, toast, fruit juice or sauce, eight ounces milk.

For vege tables choose from cooked spinach, carrots, green peas, string beans, po tato, asparagus tips, Swiss chard, cauliflower, celery.

To the Editor of The Bee: When a debtor can't pay his debts we put him in bank ruptcy. If- he can pay but won't we call him a fraudulent bankrupt. Great Britain owes us over $4, 000,000,000. The taxpayers of Great. Britain or of the United States must pay this. Which shall It be? Great Britain has failed to pay even the Interest. Is Great Eritaln bankrupt? Is Great Britain a fraudulent bankrupt? Shall we take possession of her ports and custom houses as we did with San Domingo? If not, why not? : Are we afraid of Great Britain? If not, why not give her exactly the same treatment as San Domin go? How should we treat a debtor na tion who refuses to pay even inter est on a just debt? Shall we wipe it off the slate and increase the burden on our own tax payers by Just that much ? Or shall we do exactly the same thing by selling bonds with our own guarantee, implied or expressed, which will enable Great Britain to repudiate her debt later. WILL AYDE.

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.
