DECEMBER 16. 1922 Turkey, it is said, will join tht league of nations as soon as the peaco treaty with Greece is signed. This is the first real reason we have ever seer for the United States staying out. Tc have to keep company with such butchers Is enough to cause any decent nation to feel scruples about holding fellowship with such darkness. Frank M. Jeffords, condemned to be electrocuted on December 22, made a last appeal to Governor Harvey by letter sent bv his attorney in person. Governor Harvey turned the plea for clemency down, as he should have done. The letter of the condemned man is pathetic. It, no doubt, cost the governor great anguish to refuse. But it often costs a man suffering to do his duty. Mo one can he^ feeling pity for the condemned man. Hut pity cannot right the frightful murder he committed, nor restore the murdered man to his family. In reply to Jeffords Governor Harvey says: "I have my solemn duty to perform and whatever it costs me, I would not be doing fairly if I answered otherwise." The governor is to be commended for his ftrm stand. All those who are good citizens, men and women who are trying to obey the law, have no defense whatever save the law. When the law fails the good citizen, it is the passing of the good citizen's last hope.

The Right of Self Protection How far may members of a trade >r industry band together to protect themselves? This question is asked i f the courts in a proceeding institut> ? on November 8 by the Department < f ustiee under the Sherman Act, affecting the members of an association c f fur dressers and dyers. The government alleges it ir. illegal for the members to follow the rules of the ;.ssocjat,ion wmcn provide that only cash ales arc to be made, nnd no credit is to h?> extended, to persons who have failed to p?v their bills arising on earlier transaction. Another feature of the rules, the government says, was a requirement that each member should deposit $.r>00, to be forfeited if he made a sale on credit to any person when the association had indicated that all sales should be ma cash basis. This case may raise interesting questions about the extent members of an industry can act jointly for their protection against predatory attacks. Presumably, if they beat off a gang of bandits that flourished revolvers and blackjacks they would not ne violating the law against restraints of trade. People who buy merchandise with no intention to pay ffcr it hut to escape through fraudulent bankruptcy and that sort of thing are just as predatory as any other variety of bandit who acts on the theory that lhe world owes him p. living which he is free to collect by force or fraud. Perhaps the decision in the case will disclose something about the extent in which the law-abiding may net for their self protection.?The Nation's Business. I Gave Away a Fortune An interesting fact is revealed in ?iie recent purchase by the state of Maryland of ? toll bridge over the , S jsi|uchannn nver at Haval de Grace i "? ; $-">85,000. Twelve years ago the Pennsylvania r;.ilroad gave away the bridge, having supplanted it with a in w ore. Automobiles ever since . have been crossing it in increasing numbers, and the men who got it as a | g.tt from the railroad company divider among themselves in the 12 years ' $;;7t>.000, the tolls charged and collect? > .1 from motor cars. ? When the new bridge made the old one of doubtful use, the railroad comp.-ry offered it first to the state and then to the county, but without suc? ' ess. If no one accepted it, the comi pany was confronted with the necesr.ity of removing it, which would have " been very expensive. So finally' the* company changed it from a railroad bridge to a highway bridge, and con-idered itself lucky in finding u group >f Maryland men who consented to .'<c pt tin- structure, which originally ! nad cost $2,000,000, as a gift, i The recipients put up $700 to or, canine a company. Last year the net returns from the bridge were $65. The state will continue to collect tolls i Mil 1938, by which date it estimates the proceeds will retire the bonds issued against the purchase price of $.\S5.000. Orangeburg Sun. 1 Spring Boom in Building Predicted j New York, Dec. 16.?Confidence in the outlook for an unprecedented building boom in the spring of 1923, based on an exhaustive trade survey conducted through 55 branch offices , in the United States and Canada, has led executives of Johns-Manvil'.e, Inc., producers of building materia', . to order substantial increases in the 'output of the company's existing factories, and to rush to early completion two new plants, one at Asbestos, I\ <^., Canada, and the other at Waukegan. 111. The working forces at the company's various factories are to be in- j creased shortly by 15 percent, and in order to create reserves for next year, the production of insulating and roofing material is to be increased by 26 per cent. Danish Laborers Seek Oportunities Abroad Copenhagen, Dec. 16.?Owing to the industrial depression and unemployment in Denmark, an organized emigration plan has been worked out l y the government with Nicaxagua and Colombia under which these countries will accept Danish nnmigx-ants and give them assistance in settling. Another similar agreement is pending With Fx-ance, under which Dennxax'k will participate in the colonization of Madagascar. Assording to the plan announced in the Dan;?:h papers, France has made an offer to .start public works to be carried out by Danish engineex-s, to undertake forest work with Danish labor, and to place land at the disposal of Danish fanners. The Danish settlers are to be permitted to organize their own i schools and communities so as to re'ain their nationality. A committee of French and Danisn experts will go to Madagascar to investigate the plan, after which the Danish Aigsdag will consider it. Uruguay Would Divide Large Private Est&teb Motevideo. Dec. 16.?With the ob ject of forcing the sub-division of the immense landed estates in Uruguay, and at the same time* to promote agriculture and stock breeding, the I Minister of Industries, Dr. Luis Ca\igiia, has drafted a bill to apply a special sliding scale land tax upon all states of more than 2,000 hectares (5,000 acres). The scale slides upwards per thousand hectares, but ex emption of the holf or the whole of the tax is offered if the proprietors comply with certain conditions to make the land productive. The measure is of special interest to all the countries of the River Platte in which enormous landed estates, largely idle and tenaciously held by their wealthy proprietors, are j common, and thus far legislators have I not been successful in finding constitutional methods of breaking them up j for disposal to Settlers and small i (formers and preventing their for; mation in the future. The conditions for exemption proposed by Dr. Caviglia are that certain percentages of the estates be devoted to agriculture, dairying or stock breeding. They fix the standards of the stock in the case of stock breeding, and specify what equipment shall he necessary. The bill will be considered by the National Council of Administration before being presented to qongress. A new electric fly-killer consists of a panel frame conhected with a transformer which is attached o a lighting circuit. Parallel rows of wire, carrying a current of 500 volts, cross this frame. The frame is placed where flies congregate and as they are attracted to the wires they are killed by the high volage. Rat traps along the same lines have been perf ' ,w. Thirty-two cburches were erected | at a cost of $1,800,000 in Tennessee , in the eight months ending last May. The British Museum contains the oldest known examples of Chinese writing in the form of inscriptions on animals' bones. Movement to Remedy Nation's Defective Eyesight New York, Dec. 16.?With th * aid of Secretary of Labor Davis, a movement has been started for observance throughout the country of Eye Sight Conservation Day in the schools. Federal and state officials, university professors, engineers, industrialists and civic leaders are cooperating with the Eye Sight Conservation Council of America" to remedy conditions of vision in classroom and factory. Defective vision among school children and workers in the industries has, surveys in numerous towns and cities reveal, caused enormous economic and physical losses, which, authorities declare, can be eliminated. Secretary Davis is in deep sympathy with the movement, particularly with regard to children. "I am convinced," he said recently, 'that mankind owes no higher duty 10 society and to God than service to childhood, and that whatever we may be able to do to aid the citizens of the future will earn a great reward." Every teacher in the country, according to the Council, is a potential crusader for better vision. Teachers everywhere are being given instructions for testing visual acuity. Success of the movement, according to its sponsors, will mean a definite physical advance in future generations of Americans. Reading of Poetry Angers Argentine Prisoner Buenos Aires, Dec. 16.?An inmato )f the national penitentiary recently contrived to convey to the newspaper [. a Nacion a message in which he romplained bitterly of the cruelty to vhich the prisoners were subjected >y the governor of the establishnent. A representative of La Nacion, vho went to the penitentiary to in-, estigate the charge, was sympahetically received by the kindly and *entle governor who explained that, ontrary to the reports in question, lis treatment of the prisoners was narked by extreme consideration. It was only toward the end of th^ interview, when the governor confessed that upon occasions he read poetry of his own composition to the prisoners, that the mystified reporter was hale to guess at the origin of the denunciation received by his newspaper. Brazil Neglected by British Manufacturers London, Dec. 16.?Brazil has been overlooked by the British manufacturer, according to Sir John R. Thornycroft, and the American tariff is aiding American exporters in that Sputh American rapnhlic^ I Sir John has just returned from a trip to Brazil, and speaks klowingly of the latent possibilities of the country. "Brazil is virtually as large as Europe, and yet there are only about 15 or 16 millions of inhabitants. There is an enormous wealth in natural resources, and there are vast areas in southern Brazil suitable for stock-raising, where the cli niatic conditions are good for Europeans, and which Germans were exploiting before the war. Then again, the extent of Brazil's mineral wealth is often enirely overlooked at home. It has probably the richest iron deposits in the world, besides diamonds and other precious stones, which aie by no means worked out." Sir John expressed the opinion that "the manufacturing and engineering industries of Great Britain are doomed unless we can get some sort of protection for our home markets, and especially get the exchange put righ , besides removing some of the disabilities we are under as regards preferential tariffs. Owing to the American tariff policy, the United States succeeded in getting no fewer than 39 different classes of manufactured goods put on a preferential tariff basis for importation into Brazil, and this hits the British manufacturer.' Great Britain lost ground, Sir John thought, by not sending a naval commission to Brazil at the end of the war. Americans, on the other hand, took the opportunity to push forward and are now firmly established as Brazil's naval advisers, with a large statr of American officers. German Strike Causes Heavy Losses in Food Supplies Duesseldorf, Germany, Dec. 16.? I With pleas for winter food supplies coming in from all over Germany, 400 carloads of potatoes were permitted to freeze in the railroad yards here I because of a strike of transport workers. The station warehouses also became congested with goods, and for a time all of the Rhenish-Westphalian industry was threatened with great losses on account of the tie-up. j The issue centered primarily in the j question of wages. The Roscoe Arbuckle films have been permanently scrapped. The Paramount management decided it would: 'oe unprofitable to release the films.

The expedition traveled 2,000 milea through the diamond, gold and precious Hone fields of the South American republic, covering more than 300 miles through the mountains of the state pf Minas Gerais on mule-back. The specimens obtained include gold, jUnmonds, aquamarines, beryls, emerabi and topazes, besides a number ofninerals of the rare earths.

The dig Ave pound topaz is one of a urge rhrtnbe* of enormous semi-precious sjptte* obtained by the scientists, but inlioint of size is an infant corap:.U'dM? a 26 pound topaz which they saw A one'of the mines. The giant stone was valued at about $76 a pound. Cut up and polished a first gi ade topaz is worth from $5 to $10 a carat. Diamond mines were visited in the ; re u ion of Diamantina, 600 miles north "f Rio, in the center of a vast diamond hearing area. The Stones can be successfully-mined only in the neighbor, hood of water for washing the coarse earth away. The diamonds are found a beds totally different from those in South Africa, the matrix being a quartzite composed of sands washed from older lands. The semi-precious setones in the ! state of Minas Gerais are found in ' oarse granite? or pegmatites so decomposed that the gems can be mined vith a shovel. The expedition visited the Morrc Velho gold mine, which is the deepest | mining shaft on earth. Its lowest levs j 11 is 7,000 feet below the surface. At this great "depth the terilperature of ' the rock ia 117 degrees Fahrenheit, ' making it necessary to maintain an I elaborate refrigeration plant on the i surface to force cold air down to the miners.
