Open Dttor Policy ! Luboratoriaa New YdriCfJtty lt.~?An open door policy in tlto*l*hDBKtories oL medical reaearch wkara- experimwto are conducted oir aximala waa announced today by Ml**- Maude PMiiipe, of Springfield*" Mane Mite Phillips said that- thin waa the first public declaration of: this principle that has ever been mad* in tha- United States and that thte. Blue Cross Society is the first humane society to cooperate actively with scientists as a body in behatf of animal protection in medical research. Mis? Phillips' announcement preceded signed statements by the directors and deans of a large number of the. 86 laboratories where experiments* are made on animals declaring their-willingness to admit msmbers. or officials of humane societies so that these may acquaint themselves with the actual conditions under which animal experimentation is being conducted. In several instances the proviso was mads that visitors should have previously observed an operation on a human being so that they would be able to appreciate the humaneness of laboratory methods. A number of the deans and directors assert in their statements that it haaolong been their custom to admit to* their laboratories as visitors responsible, persons who are interested in learning about the methods used in advancing medicine by experiments, on lower animals. in ner announcement miss Phillips says that humane societies can send their officials at any time to investigate the laboratories of medical research just as they would any place where animals are used or employed. She added: "Thus a new epoch begins in the relations bewteen organized humaneness and scientific research with animals and. from now on, criticism of its activities in 'the past, so far as this country is concerned, would be unreasonable and superfluous." Having referred to the insinuations and suggestions that secret cruelties were perpetrated on animals within alleged locked doors and padded walls, Miss Phillips said: "Now that every door of every laboratory is unquestionably open to the public, via its humane representatives, not alleged but actual facts \ of the> present only, will count. "Sush guaranteed publicity on the part of the scientists clearly brings their activities in animal experimentation within the same reach of statutory law aB are other activities in which animals are concerned arid, from now on, the public may rightly demand of its humane societies that they shal lshoulder the responsibility of keeping . an eye on scientific research." < She explained that her statement was issued "not in a spirit of partisanship but from the profound realization of the need of better understanding by the public of the activities of animal experimentation as they are now being exercised at the present time in the United States. She predicted that public declaration of the open door to officials of % humane societies would be received by viviseetionists and anti-vivisectlonists with not a little astonishment." The Blue Cross Society, Miss Phil lips said, emphatically stands for the regulation of animal experimentation. She made public the code of regulation adopted in 1909 and posted in every laboratory of medical research in the United States which provides rules under which experiments on animals may be made. Woman Excluded From Throne of Egypt Cairo, May 18.?Women are excluded from the throne of Egypt under a royal rescript which has been issued establishing the right of succession by primogeniture. Prince Farouk, son of King Faud was designated as present heir to the throne. The rescript provides that if the King has no male children his eldest brother succeeds to the throne. The Mohamed Ali family are eligible for the throne except the former ex-Kedive Abbas Hilmi (who was deposted in 1914), but the exclusion does not apply to. his descendants. Each king will secretly nominate three persons as pro-regent but parliament is allowed the right of approval or change. Monument Commemorating American Relief Woxk Lodz, May. 18.?A monument commemorating American relief work done in this city is to be erected during the coming year, according to plans announced by the Kropla Melka ("Drop of Milk") society, an organization for the feeding of babies. ' Bishop Tymieniecki, head of the Catholic church here, is leading the movement. Lodz is the largest manufacturing city in Poland, and suffered so badly during and after the war that Amerioan relief work had to be don? here on a large scale. Farmer was originally one who collected taxes. To the Mohammedan the pictdfe* of any person signifies a curse. I Tkls owaibvses of' London trarve) about 86,000,000 miles a year.

Red Army Has the Situation in Hand 1 Batum, Armenia, May 18.?The 1 unrest which followed the annexation of Georgia, Azerbiajan and Armenia 1 to Russia has subsided and the Red i Army of Soviet Russia has the situation well at hand. The principal ( event of importance in Batum. at the moment, is the mobilization of all the male nnnulatinn hetween the acres of 16 and 21 without distinction of race or religion. The Cheka (Chereswechaika) has not been suppressed at- BAtum. On the contrary, its activities have increased. There is a' vast esp>tohag4 organisation in the town. Especially notorious are all the women members, nearly all of whom are of good family speaking French and English. They are all demimondaines and their methods are to dress well and spend money with both hands. The espionage institutions pay them extremely well and they have orders to scrape acquaintance with all kinds of persons.< whose sympathy with Bolshevism is doubted, to whom they pose as innocent ' victims 01 the Bolshevik regime. The conversations turn on politics, ( tho victim dispresses his dislike of . the Soviets and hteir methods, arrest ( follows the next day and, if the un- 1 fortunate individual is a Russian or Georg ian, he is promptly shot?if a foreigner he is sent to Moscow for trial. The army in the Caucasus area is almost entirely composed of Rus sians. The armies of the Caucasus democracies have all been disbanded , and their officers exiled to Russia for a training in the Soviet military , schools. Fetes and parades are organized frequently in order to keep , up the morale of the army and the , population. Ranks are suppresated. Officers are known as regimental or ' company commanders. Commerce is free, but there is lack , of foreign currencies and therefore ; trade is almost at a standstill. Ex- ( ports are limited to carpets, furs, . kerosene and maganese. Imports ( consist solely of flour and sugar. The < export of manganese from Poti is in the hands of an institution called the "Chemo" which is managed by a Dutch company from the Hague. There are stocks of maganese which, existed before the war but when these are exhausted export will cease. The production of oil : is in the hands of a committee called the "Neftecom" the president of which is Gamaroff. The export of kerosene is in the hands of tho "Vneohtorg" which sells oil against goods. Although travelling is free, it is extremal? difficult for the public to , obtain seats as two thirds of the ; available accommodation on the trains is taken up by government officials. Besides trains are exposed to att&oks of brigands who rob the passengers of all-they possess. Easter lily was introduced from Ja| pan about 50 years ago. 1 Niagara could supply energy equal to 7,000,000 horsepower. Napoleon made his soldiers bathe every day. Cold water, according to high authority, is a valuable stimulant. Included in the list of founders of the National Women's party are 82 women from 19 states. C. Harvey Will Not Make Race Lieut. Gov. Wilson G. Harvey will not run for governor this summer nor will he be a candidate for lieutenant governor in the approaching primary. This announcement was made by Mr. Harvey himself while here yesterday morning iA conference with Governor Cooper. The lieutenant governor and Mrs. Harvey spent the day with the chief executive and Mrs. Cooper, coming up from Charleston at the invitation of Governor Cooper. They were guests for lunch at the executive mansion. Mr. Harvey said he would be ready to assume the duties of governor as | soon as Governor Cooper wished and that after being governor for the re-1 mainder of the term he would retire' from politics, for the present at least. 1 The lieutenant governor discussed j with Governor Cooper various mat-1 ters incident to the "change of governors.'" Mr. Harvey will move his family to Columbia as early as possible after Governor Cooper retires. Miss Ruth Harvey, daughter of the lieutenant governor, will come with Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, and Miss Mary Butler Harvey, another daughter, will come to Columbia when she finishes school at Hollins college, Virginia. Mrs. 1). A. Brockington of Charleston is another daughter. The lieutenant governor plans a very simple ceremony for the taking of the oath of office. * He will probably be sworn in in the presence of intimate friends in the governor's office. Governor Cooper and State . State House attaches will also be present. Mrs. Cornelia Julia Harvey, mother of the lieutenant governor, is one of the happiest women in the state, being much gratified over the elevation of her son to the governorship, but as she is 80 years of age it is not thought that she will be able to come here from Charleston to see him 3worn in. Following the conference between Governor Cooper and the lieutenant governor no announcement was made as tc nny change of planB for the resignation of Governor Cooper. Tho governor received a telegram from Charles E. Lobdell, commissioner of the farm loan board, in which Mr. Lobdell informed the chief executive that his commission as a member of the board will be ready today. Mr. Lobdell asked the governor to adviBe him in advance as to when he would assume his new duties. Ordered to Banish Feelings Of Mutual Hatred Constantinople, May 18.?A manifcston has been issued to the Moslem faithful by the Islamic religious department exhorting them to banish feelings of mutual hatred and rancor and to be united in religion and faith. The manifesto says: "In olden times when we were united and atr tached to religion, we dominated over vast territories in three continents and these territories we kept for many centuries thanks to our hifirh Qualities. "The duty whcih is now incumbent upon all the faithful is to accomplish the duties imposed by our holy religion and to seek pardon before Allah, in order to preserve the rest of our territories. "Let us give up alcoholic drink and do nothing which our religion forbids us to do. Let us try and love one another and preserve no rancor towards anyone." "Whit? Australia" Policy Melbourne, May 18.?The Imperial British government, as a matter of Empire concern, is favorably inclined toward Australia's "White Australia" policy reports Sir James Connolly, Agent General for West Australia in London. Sir James states that the policy would help close the back door to the Australian continent, and especially to the unpeopled semi-tropical territories of Northern Australia. It is possible, Sir James said, that the Imperial government would aid In the scheme of building railways and roads and equipping 2,000 farms in the territory for occupation by emigrants from British lands.

NO*137a I Gasoline Stock At High Figure Washington, May 14.?A new high record for the national stock of gasoline, increases in the price of which have been ordered investigated by the senate, was established April 1, according to statistics made public tonight by the federation bureau of mines showing supplies of the commodity on that date aggregated 854,232,000 gallons. The stocks on hand April 1 were approximately 47,000,000 gallons greater than on March 1, when the previous high mark of 807,000,000 gallons in storage was made. The official figures confirmed statements made in the senate that present supplies and those of recent months were greater than ever befor in this country. Further increases in the reserves of gasolin may be expected, the bureau's statement indicated. The bureau reports that kerosene stocks decreased about 10,000,000 gallons during March, while a decrease of ! 25,000,000 gallons for the stored reserves of the same date last year was shown. Preparing for Fall Business Washington, May 1G.?That it may continue adequately to serve the South Southern Railway System has placed orders for new equipment consisting of 20 locomotives, 5,390 freight cars, of steel construction, 500 automobile cars of steel construction, 100 steel passenger cars, and 250 caboose cars of steel underframe construction. The magnitude of the order can better be appreciated when it is realized that if it were possible to place the freight cars equipment in a train it would be 47 miles from the engine to the caboose* If broken up into trains of an average length, it would comprise 250 freight trains, or one train every two and. one-half miles from TIT L ? A A- a rt * vvasmngum 10 Atiania. The new passenger ears, if coupled into one train would be a mile and a half in length from the engine to the rear coach and would represent 20 trains of th? average length. The coaches are of the latest design and are of all steel construction. In placing this large order for new equipment which will be delivered in time for the fall business, the Southern has demonstrated its faith in the return of business prosperity in the South and this will place-the-Southern in a position to handle with safety and dispatch this increased business. Keeping Milk Sweet in Summer When the heat of summer comes the farm housewife has to take especial pains to keep the family milk supply sweet and to ke?? the cream cool enough to make -butter, . If no effort is made to ctfoi the milk much of it is wasted and the butter is unfit for sale and can be used only at home while it is fresh. One of the greatest helps in keeping milk sweet is cooling it as soon as it is drawn from the cow. A surface cooler is excellent for .this, but if this is not to be had, a five gallon shot gun can, commonly called a milk cooling can, can be used to good advan< ? ?;n. :_4~ 14 1 ~..4 x uui UK* iiiun uitu 11 aiiu aci it in cold water, the colder the better. In a can of this kind much of the surface of the milk is exposed to the cooling agency and it will be cooled more quickly than in a bucket or pan. It is better to use ice. Use the coldest water available if no ice is procurable. The temperature of the milk should be reduced to 50 degrees F. if possible ?anyway, below 60 degrees F. It is a good practice to cool milk throughout the year, for bacteria. will multiply in warm milk in winter as well as in summer. When the milk is cooled it should be stored in a cool place. If it is not possible to have an ice box or refrigerator, have running water in a storage tank, or make arrangements so that all the water- pumped for the stock first passes through the storage tank. A barrel can be used for this. An iceless refrigerator can be used to keep the milk cool, though it may not be quite so satisfactory as the tank just described. However, it will be better than no cooling arrangement at aU. All this about coolness. Cleanliness is even more- important. Absolutely nlnon r?i! 1 Ir ttfill ofoir curnnf of o v.

Anniversary of the Death of John Jay Bedford, N. H.. May 17.?Today is the ninety-third anniversary of the death here of John Jay, native of New York city, governor of New York, a leader of the revolting colonists and first chief: justice of the United States Supreme Court. Jay was also President Washington's special envoy to Gfeat Britain in 1794, and his name has been given to a treaty which he effected at that time, and which is credited with having prevented an impending war with England. It was< ratified over extreme opposition; was termed by Democrat-Republicans "complete surrender to England," and by Lord Sheffield of England on the other hand "that most impolitic treaty of 1794, when Lord Grenviile was so perfectly duped by Jay."

Our Plans For National Defense New York, May 11.-?Genera Pershing, writing of "Our Plans foi the National Defense," in the currein American Legion Weekly, maintains that the absolute minimum in tin standing army below which it is high ly dangerous to reduce already ha1been reached. Reviewing regrettable experience attributed to unpreparedness of tin United States in past wars, the gen eral writes that "as to the world war I firmly believe that a substantial con dition of preparedness of our lane and naval forces, backed by an ade quate merchant marine, would have kept us out of the war, and would have placed us in a position to have brought it to an early termination." "Moreover," he continues, "it is not too much to say that under these conditions and with strong leadership, we might have prevented hte world war altogether.'1 In his article, General Pershing vis ualizes the tripartite army which "we are struggling to create" under the Reorganization Act of June, 1920, i welding of regulars, trained national guardsmen an I a large citizen reserve into a homogeneous whole, lie pleads with his comrades of the American Legion to "support the mod est estimates of the administration of men and money needed to perfect out well-considered plans for a basic organization and for preliminary trailing that We may avoid another humiliating experie nee before the world." "The story of American wars is one of gallant deeds and great personal courage on the part of the individual officer and soldier, but lack of preparation and training has always led to undue loss of life and heavy financial burdens," the general writes. "While we boast of having been victorious in our early foreign wars, it was due more directly to the weakness of the enemy and his engagements elsewhere than to the exercise of wise forethought in preparation or to superior strategical or tactical ability on the part of our own forces or their leaders. We are prone to shut our eyes to these plain facts, a eondi tion reflected in congress, which has generally considered its duty well performed if, after the beginning of war, it has authorized the raising of an army and provided for its maintenance. "In the Civil War, even a small, well-trained f( rce would probably have ended the war before the entire country became involved, and would have saved the loss of thousands of lives and untold treasure on both sides." At this point General Pershing expresses the belief that American preparedness and strong leadership might have prevented the world war. "Never until our last experience have we sought a remedy for the avoidance of past errors," he continues, "but after each war we have gone serenely back to the policy of saving a few .dollars that should be spent for moderate preparation in order to meet the billions spent because of lack og preparation." The new three-fold army, General Pershing explains, would be built on the structural framework taken bodily from the world war, so that the traditions, esprit and prestige of the great combat units would be perpetuated. "The combat component of the Regular Army in the United State? is so small as to be almost negligible in the event of hostilities with a firstclass power," the general declares "Therefore, the National Guard must under our adopted military policy, immediately take the field in a greai emergency. This force must be trained and organized, ready to deploy upon the declaration of war, as the bulwark behind which the Federal government will mobilize troops and industries. The organized reserves, constituting the largest group in the war armies would not be maintained at strength in time of peace, save for a few trained officers and enlisted specialists. These, assigned to skeleton organizations chiefly in their own home towns would keep in touch with the army by correspondence courses and summei camps, while officers would be trainee in high schools, colleges and citizens camps. "Any arrangement that contem plates our taking the offensive im mediately upon the outbreak of i great war is impracticable because o the immense expense involved in tinv of peace and is impossible because i would not be in keeping with our dem ocratic ideals," General Pershing sayn "The existence of such an armei force would be militarism of a pro nounced and objectionable type. Bu our initial role on land is defensive and it is the National Guard with ou small regular army which is charge^ with the fulfillment of this missior Later, as the offensive becomes neces sary, it is the National Guard and th larger organized reserves, supple mented by the regulars, which mus carry a war to a triumphant cor elusion." Summing up, General Pershin; says: "Contrast the National Guar and tho Regular Army, holding th battle line while the greater army o reserves is being formed, without ip nominious plight during the first yen of the late war, when we were force to depend upon the armies of Franc and England to defend our interest until the American Expeditionar Forces could be brought into the fielc "As this is written, congress is er gaged in the consideration of drasti reductions in our professional person nel, and in the sums estimated as nec essary for the training and equif ment of the citizen forces.
