For whom the Lord loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Proverbs 3:12. Four Bottom Facts UNLESS something unforeseen intervenes, the Nation is about to be plunged into a reign of force instead of reason as a result of the coal and railroad disputes. In the end public opinion will decide the issue. Public opinion should spring from a knowledge of basil facts. Here are four things that lie at the root of the trouble: First. The railroad labor board, a government agency, is under injunction, granted by a court at the railroads’ request, which forbids even to PUBLISH its findings. Second. Tbo final effort to settle the railroad dispute broke down when, agreeing on all else, the railroads refused in taking men back to observe their seniority rights. That is another way of insisting that the railroad unions be paralyzed. Third. The coal miners are not on strike. They had a con tract with the coal operators which expired last April. The con tract provided that on or before April 1, operators and miners should meet and negotiate anew contract of employment. The operators refused and still refuse to so negotiate. The men’s jobs ended in April when their contract ended. Fourth. The Government for nearly two years has been un der injunction, granted by a court at the coal operators’ request, forbidding the collection of information as to the cost of produc tion, wages, etc. Any commission, such as is suggested by Presi dent Harding, must have this authority if it is to intelligently arbitrate the coal dispute. Those are simple facts which should be taken into any consid eration of the causes and consequences of the impending bayonet experiment. Congress and Cheaper Gasoline TEIE Federal trade commission says that the Standard Oil trust —which was “dissolved” some years ago—is an air-tight monopoly, and that when the price of gasoline goes up or down, it does so, not because of scarcity or plentifulness, but because the Standard can make more money by boosting or lowering the prices. " Well, everybody knew this before the commission said so. The “dissolution” of the Standard Oil trust, and its getting more overgrown and powerful under its dissolution has been a scandal that smelled to heaven for years. Now that the Federal trade commission has officially stuck the fact in the face of Congress, what is Congress going to do about it? It cannot evade the question. It must face it. The courts have said their say, and the Standard has laughed at the courts. No power but Congress can wipe away of this defiance to the laws and courts of the United States. * - Gentlemen of the House and Senate, the chair will recog-! nize any of you who has a remedy! Does the chair see any hon-' orable member or Senator asking for recognition? No, this call is not for bills for the abolition of the Federal trade commission. If it had not been for the commission, no man in either house would ever have heard of this monopoly which bleeds us with every purchase of petroleum products we make. Stop picking on the Federal trade commission. Give us a remedy for the evils of Standard Oil monopoly. Sloth’s Death Toll HAVE you ever come close to getting killed at a railroad cross ing? Deaths from this cause have been reduced by half since 1907. But the toll still is heavy and seventy-six out of 100 crossing deaths happen to auto drivers. Contrary to general belief, reckless driving is not the cause of most crossing accidents. F. pi. Metcalfe, safety expert of the Northern Pacific, has been checking up on his road. He finds that really reckless drivers are few. But “thousands of motorists every day drive over the rail road tracks without taking the trouble to look either to the right or left.” This is an odd slant on auto accidents —that more people risk their lives by carelessness when driving slowly than when speeding. The fact that we may be driving slowing is apt to lull most of us into a false sense of security. The less apprehensive we are of danger, the more careless we become. * * Eternal vigilance is the price of safety. Auto driving never can be made fool-proof like the machine enclosed in safety guards. Eliminating railroad crossings, while desirable in cities and dangerous curves, can never be applied generally. There are 251,939 highway crossings on the principal railroads alone. They are being eliminated at a rate of 400 a year. At that rate, says, Metcalfe, it would take 629 years to remove all the cross ings, and at a cost of $12,500,000,000. , Personal and never lagging caution is the real curb for auto accidents—and all others. INFLUENCE Determines Future of Child, Says Writer. To the Edit of. of The Timet It is plainly a lack of home training and influence when children of six years of age are inclined to petty thievery, such as that of which w'e read in the papers yesterday. It is hardly an instinct of humanity to steal. Taking articles is more or less of a habit. The prime mark of civili zation is the theory of ownership of property and that Is what every par ent should teach his child. If a child Is taught no respect for the property of others In the home he will have less respect for property without the home. Doubtless every parent has high ambitions when rearing a youngster. That is another mark of civilization, where man has advanced above ani mal. Man likes to see his offspring ex cel, assuming It to be his parental duty. Then, why is it ambitious par ents do not see to it that their children are more thoroughly instructed in the preliminaries to successful manhood and womanhood? Teach the children more courtesy and respect—respect for property, Government, age and others. FATHER. To the Editor of The Timet The argument against Judge Lind sey's way of carrying on court, it seems to me, is very flimsy. The Judge Is only cutting out needless ex pense, which evidently Interferes with the profession of some of his critics. The one great trouble with the coun try today is not so much with the party in power. As it is there are too many consumers and not enough pro ducers, due to one-horse_ _ lawyers, quack doctors and the so-called minis ters of the gospel who are in the busi ness for the money and not the man. Therefore, if these fellows would till the soil the high cost of living would be greatly reduced and we would all be better off physically, morally and financially. How often is someone called to the witness stand and would willingly tes tify to the whole truth, the plain truth and nothing but the truth, were he not Intimidated by sofrne bull-dog-faced lawyer whose only interest in the case is to win. What we need is more of the Judge Lindsey courts. Perhaps twenty-five per cent of the competent professional men could do all the business in their lines and the seventy-five per cent could engage in some useful occupa tion arid lower the high cost of living. TOILER. If You Are Well Bred You give polite attention when a stranger is presented and try to catch the name, but on failing to do this you ask again and make an effort to retain the name.

By United Press WASHINGTON, July 21.—The Nation will be put back on a war time fuel basis if coal production Is not resumed in the near future. Secretary of Commerce Hoover Is framing plans for the revival of the war-time fuel administration. By ROBERT J. BEYDER United News StatT Correspondent. WASHINGTON, July 21.—President Harding, before taking drastic steps to bring an end to the coal strike, will give the contending parties time to think matters over. This was in dicated in a statement issued from the White House. If the miners and operators can have time to sense the obligations in volved, says the President, drastic steps may be avoided and if executive interfere becomes necessary it will be justified in the public's opinion. Will Propose New Plan Further the President indicates that he will propose anew plan.for a com mission to study the whole situation with a view to reporting methods to be followed in the future which will be just the equitable to all concerned. To assist in moving coal what is mined, the Government will shortly take over control of all coal cars and direct their distribution. Seizure Only Last Resort It may be stated authoritatively that the Administration does not wish to seize the mines and will do so only as a last resort. It will not stand by, however, to let the operators and miners fight it out indefinitely while the Nation suffers. It may be expected, therefore, that very soon leaders in the Senate .will introduce such legislature as will give the Administration new weapons with which to work. The first thing will probably be introduction of a mens ure something like the Kansas Indus trial court might whip the operators and miners into line, it is believed. MARRIAGE LICENSES Earl J.

By PAUL F. GOD LEY, America's Foremost Radio Authority. This is the fifth of a series of articles on the Armstrong super regenerative receiver. The circuits of the super-regener ative set described In these articles will give a very fair signal without using any antenna, if the receiver is set up within a radius of fifteen miles of a first-class broadcasting station. Where the distance is greater, the use of a loop antenna is essential. Tills should be constructed to be four feet on each side. Take two sticks, a little more than five and one-half feet long and fasten them to form a square cross-section, as indicated in the diagram. Insert glass push-buttons at equal Intervals to support the wire. A small-sized lamp cord (single strand) is satisfactory for this type of antenna, although any wire between sizes number 16 and number 22 may be used. About twelve turns will be sufficient for the reception of wave lengths be tween 200 and 600 meters.

It Is a bit more compli cated. The telephones are removed from the regenerative circuit and placed in the plate circuit of the oscil lator tube O. Under these circumstances, this tube, in addition to being a controller, acts also as a rectifier and amplifier. These additional actions are possi ble because the' incoming signal, as generated by the circuits in tube R, appears to modulate the low fre quency oscillations of the tube O In cordanee with th echanges or modula tions of the incoming signal. The potentials generated In the' In ductance LI are thrown upon the grid of the tubo O, thus modulating the oscillations of this tube in conformity with the variations of the incoming INDEPENDENCE By BERTON BRALKY NOBODY ciui get gay with me, I know my rights, and get 'em. too; I ain’t no slave—not me.

Since the tube is at all times in regenerative action, it amplifies, re generatively—a resultant of its own modulated oscillations. Disadvantages The difficulty encountered in the method lies in the presence in the telephone receivers of the high-pitched oscillation previously referred to. In experimenting with the circuit, this oscillation may be ignored or, by ad justment, be so pitched as to become unnoticeable after a time. But since with the super-regenera tive system the greatest amplificat/ons seem to be obtained when low con troller frequencies are used, it is de sirable to devise a method of getting around the difficulty. This may be done by interposing a "frequency trap” or filter between the telephones and the receiver circuits.—(Copyright. 1922, NEA Service.

A piece of food will get Into and remain In the appendix. It irritates the walls, and inflammation speedily 6ets in as a result of germ activity. The inflammation causes swelling which in turn interferes with the cir culation of the blood. If the swelling continues, gangrene or a death of the tissue of the muscular wall seta In. If the appendix breaks, as it often does shortly after the attack, the poisonous germs of inflammation es cape among the coils of the intestine. These are tho reasons why' an attack of appendicitis with gangrene and rupture are often fatal despite an operation. They are also the reasons why It Is necessary to act quickly before tho appendix can break and spread the poison. Disorders of indigestion are causes of appendicitis. Haste In eating, in digestible food, lack of proper chewing and disorders of the stomach all tend to this end. In cases of appendicitis, real or suspected, there are several things which a person should do. -Mere" pain In tho right side is not neces sarily appendicitis. It is often due to acute indigestion. A tablespoonful of castor oil with an equal amount of glycerin in a glass of iced lemonade can be taken tit once by a person who believes he has appendicitis.
