'' More than two years have elapsed since the ;J.eague of Nations became an active, concrete topic for discussion; more than a year since it was finally and definitely rejected by the senate v0f, the United States. Its friends in America, -fcowever, look forward with more or less of hope to the-day when the United States will, to quote Hamilton Holt's words, become a member in J , "its own peculiar way." Mr. Holt, by the way, can see nothing of a super-government in the As sembly and Council, because of their impotence, and expresses the hope that the Harding plan may be a solution. We feel very confident that Mr. Harding's association of nations will fall far short of the requisite set by the league champions for the reasoa that it, too, will lack the power of enforcing decisions. More than ' ever' may be noted a reluctance on part of na tions to resign control over their own affairs. ; Of thirty-three that have signed the agreement for the international court, established under the league, only seven have accepted the proto col . providing for compulsory jurisdiction. When the conference called by the president assembles it will have a distinct advantage over the gathering at Paris, in that all the world now is pretty well advised as to what can not be accomplished. At Paris the business was the winding up of a great war; victors had gathered to announce terms to the vanquished; .the best of motives did not wholly control the counsels of those who framed the treaty. One great idealist sat at the table, surrounded by a group whose eyes were fastened on certain points of national advantage. All subscribed to the doctrine of perpetual, peace and amity, to be-achieved through the application of the Golden Rule, but the United States only sought nc advantage, no indemnity, no reparation, -aaiMrely peace.and a future secure from war. At the Washington conference the. specter of Vengeance will not sit at the head of the table; experience has shown that the whole cost jof the war can not be shifted to the losing side. Many things that bulked big at Paris have dwindled even in the perspective of two years, and we now realize that much of the animating; spirit of that gathering has been dissipated by second thought. Another meeting of the As sembly 6f the League of Nations will ensue be fore the delegates meet at Washington, and that, too, will serve to clear the way of some dreams and make the practical consideration of world peace more easy of approach. . . The men who will sit down at Washington . will be no less devoted to the, abstract ideal of t world peace than those who met at Paris, but they will be less hampered in their consults tions because they know now that nations are . . not yet ready to surrender their identiity to 'achieve that ideal. Disarmament is a practical ; question,, holding in its scope more than merely ;! matters of military detail. Agreement on any of its points is an approach to final settlement. Therefore, the Washington conference, in its , world-wide possibilities, transcends that which met at Paris. When the Assembly gathers again "at Geneva in September, it will be to dis- cuss abstractions, while the Harding council will deal with the world as it is, in hope of find ; ing a path leading to what might be,. ., The Disappearing Carriage, f Who bought the 244,900 carriages which were .manufactured in the United States in 1919? Occasionally one sees one of these vehi - cles behind a spanking team on a country road, : and once in a while a decrepit specimen of the buggymakers art penetrates into the heart of :he city. But the only place where shiny new .'vehicles are noted is 'at a horse show. Large ' though the output reported by the census office is, yet it represents a halving of the number of carriages produced in 1914, five years before. ' Wagons came nearer to holding their own, . 413,600 of them having been sold, but even this ! Is a falling off of 150,000 in half a decade. And only 36,400 sleighs were contributed to the pleasure of winter days.: . . Thejjresent year' probably will see further . decreases in output from the carriage and wagon .works. Yet one does not hear any public com plaint on the part of the manufacturers. They have turned their plants to- other uses, and for every employe turned off the automobile Indus try has hired two. When Uncle Sam took the pledge and the saloons closed down, consider , able agitation was heard for indemnifying the liquor trade for its losses, but here is another industry evidently on the way to extinction, without a 'word being raised in its behalf. ? . Pawing Jobs Around r 'Alt navy yards" and shore stations, it is an nounced, are to go'em a five-day week. Private industrial plants in some instances are likewise running'' on shortened time. Voices rise here and there to suggest that in order to remedy unemployment it might be wise to install a 36 hour .week in some lines. It will be re membered vthat the miners almost two years ago proposed a plan of this sort as a way out of the three or four-month period in which they had no work, although in the rush season they had. tor put in overtime, By one system now in use "iS the east half the working force is given employment one week and the remainder the next. Vast experiments are going on, and what the eventual result is to be no man can tell. If, as we are being told, Americans normally produce more than they can consume, and if foreign markets are to remain inactive, limitation of working hours conceivably might come to pass. Certainly one-half the population can not ex pect to have all the jobs and support the other half by their charity or taxes. Sims' Charges Sustained. A' majority report to the senate from the committee that inquired into the merits of the controversy between Admiral Sims and the late Secretary of. Navy Josephus Daniels finds that the charges made by the admiral are well founded. ' These include the assertion made by the indignant naval commander, who was sent to England with the parting admonition that he should not let the British pull the wool over his eyes, for "we would as soon fight them as anybody," that delay at Washington cost half a million lives and $15,000,000,000. Also the charge that recommendations made by him after he had reached the war arena were held up, some for weeks, some for a year, yet all finally acted upon, the delay, however, in each instance being vexatious and costly. 'A minority report finds all the other way around, and gives the former secretary of the navy a clear bill. This, however, is a purely partisan view, something that , supporters of Mr. Daniels will not hesitate, to say in regard to the action of the majority of the committee. It does bear out much that was said in criticism of the conduct of our share of the war at the time. When complaint was made that time was being lost, Newton D. Baker replied that the war was 3,000 miles away. The action of the navy at that time was as mysterious and un certain as the army's. Sims made his charges knowing the conse quences of failure to make good when called upon to establish them. The situation is one that will not admit of whitewash. Action by the senate may not settle the controversy, but it will do much to decide in the minds of many Americans as to whether the government moved as wisely or as expeditiously as it might in the critical early hours of 1917. Rail and Water Transportation. Were it only the" farmer who is adversely affected by the existing railroad freight rates, the case would be bad enough, but the burden is irksome to others as well. A news telegram from Pittsburgh says: " Statements of leading steel manufacturers here, that unless the Ohio and Allegheny river improvements were completed and the Lake Erie and Ohio River canal constructed it would be necessary to move most local fur naces to the Great Lakes or the Atlantic coast, have jiajt received striking confirmation, says Pittsburgh First The United States Steel corporation a few days ago shipped 6,000 tons of steel from Mobile to Alaska en tirely, by water because of the high rail rates. Last week the first shipment of wheat was , made from Duluth to New York on inland waterways the Great Lakes, the New York.1 Barge canal and the Hudson river. The importance of developing inland water ways t to provide ; a r cheaper method, vf of transporting bulky commodities is admitted. Only when this is achieved will the producer be freed from a condition that is becoming more and more oppressive. So far as the railroads are concerned, they must prepare to meet the future on a different basis. Methods of opera tion will have to be revised, economies' sug gested in management during the war must be adapted to produce the saving expected, be cause present charges for service are too great to be permanently sustained. - That the public is willing the railroads should prosper has been well proven, but that pros perity should not be achieved at the expense of ruin for others. Somewhere the reasonable relation between service and charges should be established, but at present rates are sadly out of proportion and business suffers accordingly. Don't Revive 3-Cent Postage. The Postoffice department, under the admin istration of Will Hays, is rcndering'.services sat isfactory to the public. The good impression should not be dispelled by Increasing letter post age to 3 cents. Yet such a plan has been sug gested by congressmen seeking ways in which to revise the federal revenue system. This is not to be confused with the decision of Postmaster General Hays to charge 25 cents instead of 10 cents for special delivery letters. This latter increase is justified on the basis of actual cost. Instances have occurred where mail came through the ordinary channels more quick-, ly than by special delivery, and by increasing the fee, more prompt service can be afforded, and in the country, the telephone will be used to apprise addressees. : As things now stand, under 2-cent letter mail, the Postoffice department is practically on a self supporting basis. To increase its charges 50 per cent undoubtedly would create a surplus which could be turned into the national treas ury. Profit, however, is not the design of the postal system, and it ought not to be perverted merely out of the desire to shift taxation. If Henry Ford leases the government water power plants in Alabama and makes a success of what has been a failure, why not turn, the rail roads over to him or let him collect the taxes and run the government? . ;V In revising taxes it is to be hoped congress wilt drop the transportation taxes. These bring in $300,000,000 a year, but they add just that much burden -on shippers who are already bowed down with freight rates. Only eight people were hurt In auto crashes hereabouts on Sunday. Yet none of these would have been injured if the drivers had ' all been careful. . " . Secretary Mellon need not worry over the appearance of the money if he will just arrange to give each all he wants. Just because General Sawyer has taken up horseback riding Is no reason for calling him a horse doctor. Mr. Hoover may find out that most of the savers of the United States already own homes. The "wobblies" seem bent on filling the jails the dry laws emptied. Old J. Pluvius is on the side of King Corn. "Truth in Fabric" Bill Two Views of the Measure Offered for Public Information. (From the New York Times.) To the Editor of the New York Times: Let me say a few words at this time in re arard to the "Truth in Fabric" bill. This bill in my estimation is more important than most people realize, and had this bill been passed six years ago the government would have been greatly handicapped in making war neces saries if the quantities upon quantities of re worked wool were not used. Should this bill be passed, it would immedi ately discourage the by-product industry and make the cost of wool in clothing manufacture almost prohibitive. . I personally know of fabrics that have been made of by-products which were better and more suitable for wear than that product those particular "virgin wool experts" ever made. Certain by-products, which are used in sweet ening, such as slubbing waste and similar stocks, could not be used if the "Truth in Fabric" bill becomes a law, because it is labeled a by product by this bill and would not be con sidered Virgin wool. Noils and garneted stock are also -of great value, especially in the manufacture of under garments or any clothing which goes next to the body. To place this valuable stock under the "Truth in Fabric" bill, Australian wool, under prohibitive prices, would have to be used as a substitute. With conditions as they are today, fine wool underwear would have to be sold for twice the price it is commanding because of the scarcity of the proper wools for its manufacture; also on account of this bill making the proper raw stock for this garment undesirable in the eyes of the publiic who do not understand its manu facture. If a census were to be taken of every woolen mil you would find that at least 90 per cent of them use by-products. - There are millions upon millions of by products which would go to waste annually to help pile on the extravagance and waste which we must now stop, and would burden the ulti mate consumer and greatly increase the cost of living. B. HARRISON COHAN. Boston, July 9, To the Editor of the New York Times:: The object of the "Truth in Fabric" bill is to compel the manufacturers of woolen cloth to so mark their goods that the consumer will know whether he is buvinar oure virein wool previously unused, or whether he is buying what is called, somewhat deceptively, "all wool," which may contain a high percentage of shoddy or reworked wool. The origin of such reworked wool is always doubtful. It has either been usCd in garments or in some other woolen goods previous to being reworked. Tattered remnants of old clothes are gathered up, reworked, and sold over again as many as eight times, always under the unconvincing title of "all wool." Truth-in-fabnc legislation is based on the well established principle upon which the food and drugs act is based. It is certainly of great importance to consumers to know what they are buying, whether it is butter or oleomar garine, or what the composition of foods in packages really is, and it is of equal importance to know whether the clothes we buy are made of pure virgin wool, or how much, if any, shoddy they contain. Farmers I have talked with on the matter have no desire for class legislation. In any case, they Jcnow they never could get it, even if they wanted it. Farmers are taking a large view of these questions, and it seems to them quite proper to state their views as farmers on ques tions relating to finance, taxation and other leg islative matters without presuming for one mo ment that theirs will be. the only viewpoint con sidered. K. D. SCOTT, . . Warren County Farm Bureau Manager. Warrensburg. N. Y July 2, 1921. Pie for Patriots New England once was called the pie belt Today the United States" the pie belt. There is also the individual pie belt which every man. wears every summer as a- sustainer of his in dispensables. He lets it out two holes in the season when the esculent fruits and flour are brought into succulous association. The American pie is slander proof. There may be those to say that the philosophers and. poets of New England would have lived longer and have written better if they had not eaten pie for breakfast, dinner and supper, but no proof can be adduced in support of the saying. It is the weakest of assumptions. Comparison of the intellectual merits of New England pie eaters and nonpie eaters is impossible, because every man and woman in New England who ever wrote anything worth while worked on a basis of pie three times a day. Recently there has been an attempt in the land's more glittering inns to substitute French pastry for American pie. The pastry is peddled about upon a board and displayed to the eye with all its gummy trappings. It depends for patronage upon the kind of customers one of whom is said to. be born every minute. Even the timid who yield to the arrogant-eyed im portunities of the board bearer, and even those who supply the statistics for the one-every-sixty-seconds birth rate, never go twice to the trap. .. It takes more than glucose, saccharine and plaster of paris to draw the patriot away from pie, the delectable of all right-thinking, right living Americans. Chicago Evening Post Francis Marions Grave Writing from St. Stephens to the County Record of Kingstree Mrs. D. D. McKenzie tells of a visit which she has just paid to the old homestead and grave of Gen. Francis Marion, South Carolina's great partisan leader in the War of the Revolution. The condition of the family cemetery in which Generat Marion is buried filled Mrs. McKenzie with Humiliation that one to whom South Carolina owes so much should lie today amid the neglect she there wit nessed. "The tombs have fallen," she says, "some of them smashed to pieces and no signs of neatness, care or attention in the old ceme terynothing but weeds, briars, bushes and trees growing over and around General Marion's resting place." At the general's old home, some of the rooms are still in good repair, but others have fallen in. Francis Marion was not only a wonderful military leader whose part in the revolutionary struggle has been immortalized in American his tory, but he was one of the best and wisest men of his day. His name and fame are perpetuated all over America in the towns which have been called after him. Is South Carolina so poor that the grave where lies his dust should be left to grow up in weeds? Charleston News and Courier. Japan on Disarmament Advancing to the stage of the postal card vote, Japan took one on disarmament, 94 per cent voting "aye." But what's a postal card between nations whose natural and inevitable re lations must be those of enmity? Japan can still serve as an ogre justifying huge army and navy bills at Washington.

The old saw "nobody loves a fat man" cannot withstand scientific In vestlgatlon. Death loves the fat man. The insurance companies will. reel orr yards of figures to prove It. Diabetes loves the fat man and Joslln proves it by a string of fig ures. A study of the weight for height and age for 1,000 cases of diabetes under his observation, proves that when a person begins to put on ex cessive weight he starts for diabetes. If he gets wise to the place he is neaded ror and changes his habits, eiits less and exercises more, he may never arrive at the goal, or some other malady may catch him before he gets there, but that . does not alter the fact that fat men and women are on the way. : . Joslin was not disposed to split flairs so he counted all persons be tween 5 per cent ; below and 5 per cent ftbov weight as being in the normal weight class. Of the 1,000 only 169 wero'in this class. There were a few underweights 107 of them. Of these 54 were under 30. For some reason or other weight doesn't seem- to he an important factor in diabetes of the aged. How ever, closer studies of diabeteB In relation to weight in children are being made, especially diabetes In persons who were fat boys , and fat girls. All the remainder of tha 1,000, that Is, 734, were overweight. Why 70 of the number were more than 70 per cent overweight.- For in stance, a woman . who should have weighed 140 pounds was found to weigh 238 and .to be a diabetic. Consider the pounds of candy, pie, sugar, ice cream, bread and pota toes eaten tip ' to make that 23S pounds, a good -part fat.-and the strain it must have put on the or gans which convert . sugar and starch into fat and energy. Is the Habit of Reading Lost? A long time ago Von Urden said oil fat naftnnB ahnulf? ' Kava thftjy urine examined periodically for sug- together the statement that "rd- From the Baltimore Aarrtcaa.) At the convention of the National Education association at Dea Moines Ella F. Chamberlain, a librarian made a. statement which la startling, if true. She asserted as the result of her own personal experience that today neither the average teacher nor the average pupil la a reader of books and that for everybody read ing at home is rapidly becoming a lost art. If this statement as it stands . represents - her deliberate Judgment, it surely needs a good deal of qualification. The exact number of readers of books either now .or In any previous generation with which a r-omparlson can be made will never be known. All that can be said is that probably it has always been a small proportion of the whole population and there seems no ground for saying that the proportion is any smaller now than it tised to be in "the good old times." The newspaper and the widely circulated mncazine have become the library of large masses of people nd- may have tended to displace too1s. But even if they have, they have attracted, many thousands of readers -who would certainly not have had the inclination, and per haps not the ability, to read books. After making this allowance, there still remains the question, who is it that reads the books published in ever-Increasing' quantities T Many people do their reading chiefly in books obtained rrom n brarles. but there Is a large book buying public, the number of which, If not as large as it might oe, ap pears by all recent accounts to be on the increase, jfubiisners, dooksbi lers and other people who ought to know say that during the last year people have been buying more books and better books, which in most cases must be for use and not merely for. display as -furniture. At the moment the high , cost of books makes them a prohibitive, luxury for rhany who ordinarily would be regular- buyers. There is also among the enormously large propor tion of people who earn their living in business and manufacturing con cerns a considerable sale for books dealing with business and manufac turlng methods and developments, which are not usually to be found In libraries and must be bought by the people who wish to study them. Al ar. He said that many who found no sugar in their urine and who were disposed to think themselves out of danger would find .that they had an excessive amount of sugar in the blood if they also had a blood sugar test made. Joslln took up a number of causes of diabetes and showed how they operated by bringing- about obesity. There was diabetes in husband and wife. Easy! They got fat together because they ate. at the same table. Diabetes in Jews? Easy! What other group likes so well to eat? Fat? No need to answer. Diabetes among the rich? Again easy! Heredity? "Unusual ex posure to an obetlc environment," to quote our Boston friend. . Among metal workers?. Do they not tend to become -fat? Arh'bng convalescents? Are they not over fed? Age? The ages in which obesity is greatest are those in which there la most diabetes, in, apes 60 to 7 0 there are ' more ' cases of ovefWeight and more cases of diabetes. : In Joslin's test no person over 50 years of age and 20 per cent urider , weight ;. developed, idiabete 8. As a rule- a person gets all -the weight" he needs at the age of SO. ' He- hag enough to protect himself against consumption. Joslin's opinion' is that all the weight we put on above that, proper for height and sex at age of 30, is a definite liability" and ' ut of It diabetes may develop. " - The moral is: . "Exercise more insr at home is fast becoming a lost art," while it has a percentage of truth in it, is far from being the whple truth. : Where to Expect Progress, Modern men, when they change locations, inquire first about the tax rate in the communities tney are attracted to.

In the Maw York ., Erenlng Poet.) Charles Evana Hughes' under graduate essays in satire may have helped to-fit him for his present post, but the roster of our high of ficials, past and present, reveals few one-time college wits. A glance through a collection of old campus comics shows many contributors who have since become celebrities but the political celebrities are al most nonexistent. Perhaps there Is something .In the atmosphere of Brown university that turns literary seniors Into secretaries of state, for John Hay, who preceded Mr. Hughes at Brown and in the State department, indulged In humorous verse with no little sueress. Apparently, John Hay did ' not make his debut in the pages of an undergraduate publication, for these oddities were "scarce in his ballad days. - - However his verses "Jim Bludso" and his "Little Breeches" were composed long before their au thor became anational figure, and even today they are better known to the majority than . Hay's contri buttons to our foreign policies. After Mr. Hay became a distinguished statesman, many persona attributed "Little Breeohes" to Bret Harte, oe cause it seemed Impossible for a dignified diplomat to hav written a poem with so Informal a title. The confusion amused Bret Harte. who once told a lady, who Insisted on complimenting him ' on "Little Breeches," that she had put the breeches on the wrong man.

Although Woodrow Wilson's repu tation as a wag is private rather than public, there are bits of charm ing satire in Mere Literature, which he published a quarter ot a century ago. It is possible, that some ef these essays may have appeared originally in Princeton Journals, al though some good Prlncetcnlnn may be able to furnish proof to the Con trary.

Teople generally get their homes paid for when they deliver the cash for them. When they can not deliver the cash probably Jerry would like the state to do so. Prob ably Jerry would. like the state to deliver the cash for a homo for him. Brogan bought a home worth IS. S00 on a capital of $1,000. He lived rent free on the place for 18 months, paying $30 a month and $110 addi tional. Thus he had the use of over $2,000 of the seller's money for 18 months, which would be worth, about $250; $3,500 plus $250 amounts to $3,740. He paid $1,650, leaving a balance of $2,150.
