KING ASSUMES TOd MUCH
(Detroit Free Press)
Senator King's resolution calling
for the discontinuance of all work
on American battleships now in pro-
gress of construction because Gen.
Mitchell’s bombing planes sank the
Ostfriealand is a good example of
result where a man it trying to make
out a ease rather than arrive at fact.
The Senator acts as a special plead-
er not as an impartial judge There
la even *n element of the ridiculous
in his assertion that the “recent ex-
periments have demonstrated conclu-
alvely that far too much importance
has been attached to battleship and
bottle cruiser.” and that the results
“demonstrate the lack of vision on
the part of those who have had
charge of naval construction and
the failure on the part of Congress
to realise that the building
program is obsolete.” Really
the expcrimirts to which the
Senator refers do not demon-
strate any of these things he believes
they do. They prove that bombs
dropped from an airplane will sink a
big battleship if they land properly
just as bombs sent by a submarine
or destroyers will sink a battleship
if they hit properly; and they indi-
cate too that the bombing plane is
going to be a new formidable instru-
ment of naval warfare that must be
devoiip.nl ami reckoned v.-’th as a
oart of the American defense estab-
lishment unless there is an interna-
tional limitation of armaments—and
possibly even if there is. But this is
all the achievements of Gen. Mich-
ell’s fliers do prove and when one
eonmders everything it Is quite
* enough. Senator King’s attitude is
as unreasonable as was the attitude
of the naval experts who did not
want to give Gen. Mitchell a chance
to show what he could do.

Avenues everything was propitious
for a fight and a lawsuit and law-
yer's fees and court costs and the
devil to pay generally. But nothing
of the bind ha opened When a police-
aura arrived they told him they had
Calked It over and had decided that
they were equally to blame and were
• going to split t*0-60 on the damages
and R would not be necessary to ar-
rest anybody. The policeman wrote
a report and the incident was closed.
All automobile owners and drivers
will please take notice. There is need
for more of this 50-60 spirit among
i motorists There is plenty of the
other kind which undertakes to place
all the blame for every misadventure
•non 'he other driver. Not in all au-
tomobile accidents but in a great
many there is negligence on both
•idee and if equal blame were ac-
knowledged and equal damages as-
sumed by the participants even and
exact justice would not be greatly
cheated. There are of course reck-
less and criminally careless drivers
who are 'a menace to all other driv-
ers and all pedestrians but the great
majority of drivers consider their
own safety and the safety of others.
The streets are crowded but there

will sometimes happen it is

Mrs. Elsie Raymond Chinnock of
of Brooklyn is willing to be properly
appreciative for all gifts bestowed
upon her by generous friends. She is
not discouraged in her gratitude. But
she will NOT lend them back to the
givers ever again. No one hereafter
will drop in and say: “Oh Mrs. Chin-
nock you know that magazme I gave
you yesterday; do you mind my tak-
ing it for an hour? I want to read
once more a poem that made me
jhink so muqh of you.” No indeed.
'At least they won’t get away with
It. if they do say it. For here was
Edward A. Fries a wealthv coal mer-
chant who gave the confiding Mrs.
Chinnock a few presents; a fine
sedan among them and then borrowed
them; wanted the sedan just for a lit-
tle pleasure trip. And now refuses
to give itbaek! The once pleased re-
cipient charges him with grand lar-

I saw a wonderful new machine the
other day created for the purpose of
shaking the last ounce of flour from
the hags in large baking institutions.
The economical Intentions of the ma-
chine are tn a way admirable But
I couldn’t help wondering Just what
was done with the flour thus obtain-
ed. My guide explained that as much
of the flour originally was stored in
basements sometimes It absorbed
moisture through the paper or cotton
'bags and “stuck in the bottom."
“Much of it as recovered Js used in
doughnuts." he explained' with a
! smile. It is safe to say that the ma-
chine is not exhibited for the educa
tion of thj ^multitude of “coffee and”
devotees. It would be quite a shock
to those who know something of city
basements and remember the clean
wholesome flour barrels of other
days.

Columbia University ought to put
on a conference of all nations or an
tnternational diving contest or some-
thing exciting and world-wide some
quiet day. Here are a few names and
addresses of student members of its
Cosmonolitan club: Miss Gool Bah
aduri India: Miss Pilar Herrera Phil-
ippines Miss Maud Hemingway.
Lyles England; Miss Wandala Eng-
strom. Sweden; Miss Hanna Fater-
non Poland and Miss Yip Sang
China. There are a good many more
but those are all I ran spell and they
give you an idea of it anyway.
The time is past when the news-
paper announcements of wealthy girl
weddings tell the achievements of the
groom and the clothes and probable
inheritance of the bride. Here for
instance is Alice T. Davidson da ugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry P. David-
son who is engaged to be married to
Artemus L. Gates of Clinton Iowa.
Do the reports of the engagement tell
how beautiful popular and wealthy
she is? Indeed not—although she
hanpens to be all of them Thev de-
tail her work as organizer of the
group of women wireless operators in
1916 and the work she did all through
the war. WORK not committee
membership; and her work as >n

The world is coming on in spite of

for the Equal Opportunity League
Miss Wren and her ogranization are
working to remove all discriminationa

which mark the "dangerous and ri-

Wren’s words. They mean to do
away with “protective” legislation at

TRADE ON SLUMP
Diamond Markets Especially
Threatened — Dealers
Facing a Crisis
(By The Associated Press)
BERLIN Aug. 15.—Trade in pre-
cious stones has experienced such a
slump in the past 12 months that
many of the jewel dealers are facing
a serious financial crisis according
to Berlin experts who have been in-
vestigating the causes of an unusual
situation
The diamond markets are espe-
cially threatened for the men and
women who made much money dur-
ing the war and invested heavily in
diamonds recently have been selling
brilliants extensively- while the old
families of established wealth up-
on which the trade once depended
have ceased to buy. It is said 50 to
GO percent of those who bought
jewels with war profits in Germany
and England have either sold their
purchases or offered them for sale
within the last few months.
The synthetic diamond as well a?
the artificial ruby sapphire and
spinel also has invaded the market
to the detriment of the trade in le-
gitimate stones not only because
many artificial stones are sold as
I genuine but because the artificial
jewel is preferred by many because it
L« less expensive and often can be
differentiated only by the connois-
seur.
The business In synthetic stones
has grown immensely during the last
few years with Germany and France
the principal competitors and Swit-
zerland a close third. Raw mate-
rials for the manufacture of the ar-
tificial ruby which is accomplished
by an electrical process are purchas-
ed by Swiss manufacturers from Ger-
many which has handicapped Swit-
zerland in the race for control of the
world market.
Although the production of arti-
ficial Jewels has greatly increased
the prices have risen which is attrib-
uted by the experts to the improved
teehnique. Prices of synthetic rubies
and sapphires have increased 20 fold
over pre-war prices.
Owing to the stagnation of the
trade in genuine diamonds a number
of (he largest importing houses ceas-
ed importations from South Africa
where their chief supply was secur-
ed. and others have greatly reduced
their purchases of raw diamonds.

those who “through fear or mistaken
judgment” have served in the Com-
