FRIDAY. ATK1E ' t. 10:2
Looking I'urwnril
IX his eloquent Founder's Hay address,
1 President Alderman, of the 1'i^Jversity of
Virginia, appears as ihe spokesman for an
institution that is looking and moving for
ward to tho fullllluienl of its high mission,
tin institution whose pride in past glories
and achievements carries no hint of com
placency. University alumni and Virgin
ians generally will answer with a thrill as
they catch tho glowing vision of service
?with which every portion of Dr. Alderman's ,
address is radiant. Now in tho early years j
of its second century, Virginia's historic cen- j
ter of learning manifestly stands at the .
threshold of an era tli.it is to yield more ,
largely than tho splendid past in measures j
of broad usefulness. i
Dr. Alderman's review of tho recent past
shows dourly how far-reaching is tho in
fluence of this great university, suggests how
profoundly this influence is affecting remote
lives and places, and particularly tho inclu
siveness of its sweep witliin the borders of
our own State. The figures he gives rellect
the steady expansion of tlie university's field
' of service. The gifts he acknowledges in
dicate the hold that is being taken upon the i
faith and sympathies of forward-looking
men ."tui women.
There has been no saner discussion of the
subject of college sport and athletics than I
that embodied 111 this Founder's Day utter
ance. There could hardly be a more in- j
spiring treatment of university ideals than !
is given in those paragraphs that relate to
the university's plans lor research. The
whole address is of a mold and spirit to
quicken the people's pi ido in their splendid |
seat of learning and it- ? hi. f olllcer.

Leaving out the Virginia result, which was
foregone, it la a fact that the Republican
votes in all tho recent contests have been
decisively reduced. Tho trend indlcatod by
the backward swing of Republican voters
Is a matter which may well hearten the
party leaders whoso tickets in 1920 were
buried beneath unprecedented Republican
majorities. , '
Tills may not mean that tho Democrats
will carry the next House, but It indicates
very clearly that the minority party is still
very much alive and that it Is steadily guln
ing strength for the great contest to be
staged in 1924.
The "Little Navy" Hill
A VOTK ???! ^iie personnel section of the
i V navy liill probably will be reached in
the House today or tomorrow. President
Raiding, it is reported, will add a personal
expression to the protest that has been
raised against the absurdly small man
p< wer provided by the House bill, and a
warning from this course, even at tho
eleventh hour, may turn enough votes to
laise the personnel figures substantially.
Representative Kelley's statement, in an
ticipation of such an expression from the
White House, is interesting. "The Presi
dent,' declares this leader of the "little
navy" forces, "has not thoroughly studied
the situation, and all he could possibly say
is that he wants a navy large enough to
Uphold the arms conference ratio." The
same d?'sire, Mr. Kellev maintains, is held
by himself and other supporters of the bill.
The only question left at issue, then, is
whether a navy personnel of 67,000'Is sufll
cient for the effective operation of the ships
allowable under the 5-5-3 ratio.
Mr Kellev, hardly to be elassilled as a '
I.aval expert, undertakes to show that Presi- !
dent Harding, through ignorance, is not a 1
competent Judge. Perhaps that position,
though lacking in good taste, might be sus
tained. Hut what of the N'avv Department's [
?opinion" Secretary Hughes' opinion? Are !
they also worthless? The Navy Department, j
basing its estimates upon the calculations j
of the nation's hiRji^st experts, insists that
a naval enlisted length of Sfi.ono men is ?
?{he absolute minimum under which the
ratio can be maintained on America's part.
Representative Kellev and his associates
have never offered convincing support of a
revision bv which this figure is reduced al- j
most 25 per cent.
Despite the assertion of Mr. Kellev that ;
he also desires to make maintenance of the
5-5-3 ratio possible, remarks made by him- 1
self and otlier supporters of the bill in.ii- I
eate that they really have little, if any. in
terest in that objective. From his side it
was argued just a few days ago that the
I'nited States was only pledged not to exceed
a certain strength, that there hnrl been no >
undertaking to refrain from dropping be
low that level. The fact is that the so- !
called "little navy" group knows perfectly
well that the 5-5-3 ratio will be destroyed
by the personnel provision of this bill, and :
the American people will wish to know, if I
this bill passes, why our navy is to be rele
gated to second or third place just at the
moment when a naval balance promising
both safety and peace had been struck.
Railroad Huntings
T7 IGCRK8 .submitted to the Interstate
* Commerce Commission on railroad
earnings yesterday tell in condensed form
one of the most encouraging industrial
stories of the day. It was not many months
ago that the country's transportation sys
tem was declared by some observers to be
in a hopeless state. Among these observers
there was disagreement on the point of
whether the roads had been wrecked by
the government or by their own poor man
agement and short-sightedness, hut the
pessimists -igreed that the carriers were
"done for" ?unless, perhaps, something like
government ownership should intervene to
save them.
It i.- a well-known fact that the roads
have had a territi.- struggle. Conservative
observers who were not altogether lacking
in faith frankly wondered how the difficul
ties would ever be overcome. Instead of
Tut earning* there were deficits month af
ter month. In February of l'.i21 there was
a combined deficit of iri.176.S7fi,
Hut con.-id- r now Hie figures for Feb
ruary of this year, submitted to the I. C. C.
yesterday. Against that deficit for the
preceding February we may place a profit
?>! $ 4 ?. i (S2.C00. That represents earnings
of 4 i iter cent on the tentative valuations
??f the roads "the highest rate of return,"
says a correspondent, "in more than eigh
teen months." learnings of 4 7 per cent
d.*i not repres-nt "normalcy." but they do
repiveni :iti almost phenomenal recovery,
and bring to the country reassurance on a
point about which there have been wide
spread misgiving- it j, significant that the
roads in the Ka-tern district earned more
than per cent during February other sec
tions pulling down the average.
Tins Ascending scale of earnings fore
shadows a reduction in freight rates. Per
il.ip- this reduction will not come, or, at
any late, will not |?. substantial, until the
?' per cent level has been reached more i
y1 net*aiiv among tin carriers; but the Feh
mary report indicates dearly how rapidly
'l.a' ptotitab'e level is being approached.

For Hotter Government
GOVERNOR THINKLK has displayed ex
cellent Judgment in his appointments
to the commission that is to draft legisla
tion looking to governmental reorganiza
tion in Virginia. The personnel of the com
mission. now complete, is such as to
strengthen the popular expectation of high
accomplishment.
For (he study of the Held in which this
commission will work ample time anil funds
have been provided; reports are to ho in the
hands of the legislators by December 3 1.
1!?23. The commissioners, of course, have
other important interests thill will prevent
them from pursuing this public service as
steadily as they might desire, lint, with their
equipment of knowledge and public spirit,
they may be expected to round out their
survey with rocommcndailons of the highest
value to the next and succeeding Legisla
tures.
The Governor feels that this commission
is second hi importance among those to be
named by him this year, the Highway Com
mission being placed first. Ills estimate may
hardly be questioned. The work of the
reorganization body should result in changes
making for both economy and efficiency in
tin1 handling of public affairs, for a more
effective co-ordination of Slate and local
agencies, and for a fairer opportunity for
nil th?* State's institutions.

T.'/'K Horah investigation of General
Semenott's career has gone far enough
to convince the American people thai this
notorious Russian, however decidedly anti
Holshevist he may be. should never have
been admitted to this country and should be
deported promptly.
Hy tin* testimony of responsible American
and Hritlsh witnesses, Semenoff has boon
revealed as an unspeakable monster, a ruth
less slayer of women and children. It is
not without weight, moreover, that he has
been exposed as an aetlve and hitter enemy
of the American forces in Siberia. The
stories told by General Graves and Colonel
.Morrow, hy Captain Karl, of the British
forces, ami other witnesses, reqnire neither
elaboration nor supplementation; they show
Semenoff to be of a type that has no proper
place, even temporary place, in the life of
this country.
His counsel has stated that nothing would
please the general more than deportation.
This supreme gratification should not be
withheld one day ionger than legal formali
ties make necessary.

Health Talks by Dr. Brady
OfT With lit* Armor Now.
It has just been called to my attention (as
tho complete office executive boy might >ay)
that the girls no longer wear?my gracious,
what shall I say??they wear 'em not so long
as their mothers' were or wore 'em I say it
has been brought to my notice. Kar be if from
me to Intimate that 1 haven't noticed, but 1
Just hadn't missed tha long "uns. I was re
minded of It by a lady who had long 'uns on
which shrieked shrilly through the customary
sheer hose and prompted the query: Why wear I
any heavy weights at all?
These days the weather docs some lightning
change acls and it requires an agile dresser to J
Koop pace with It. but nevertheless it is good
health practice to put on the heavy undies or
li-ave them off. according to the whims of the
weather. I speak now only for thoso who are
In the deplorable habit of wearing heavier un
derwear In the winter than in the summer. I
am in y ye If in that habit still, though I am
making good headway against It. and In a fw
more years I hope to wear the same light
weights the year round.
Tiie passing of the long-'.egged species of
winter armor, which occurred, an authority in
forms me, fully llvo years ago, has not been
marked by any such spectacular Increase In
the prevalence of pneumonia, tuberculosis and
rheumatism among tho younger women as the
? Id women confidently predicted. Somehow the
dire consequences of "exposure" seldom do ma
terialize. possibly due to gome Inherent defect
of observation and Judgment In that ancient
belief.
Tin? putting on or leaving off of warmer
or heavier underwear Is not so much a matter
of hygiene or health as It Is one of personal
comfort. The only good guide Is your own In
dividual comfort under the conditions of time
and pi nee. Should you make a mistake of
Judgment and put on the winter armor and
then get to the ofllce only to suffer a long,
warm, balmy day, that is somewhat depress
ing. hut not so very dangerous? On the other
hand, should you glance out of the window
in the morning, decitle lt'jr going to be a peach
of a day, and hop into the next-to-nothings.
only to run into a freezing day, that may
lit- a little uncomfortable, but It will never
hurt your health appreciably? Just call It a
dav and wish for better luck tomorrow.
Go In for the greatest possible amount
of personal comfort under the greatest varia
tion of circumstances to which you may be
subjected, and he sure you will be ritht what
ever your underwear.
When a stretch of from six hours to six
days of beautiful, balmy spring weather hap

Arthur Sorners Koche's mystery

the spectator as being itn excellent

Indnctivc Keactancc
Inductive reactance Is an Im
portant thing to consider In an al
ternating current circuit, particular
ly a radio circuit. A coll of wire has
the property of self-Inductance be
cause a magnetic field Is created
aruond It when a current of electric
ity flows through It. If tlierii Is a coll'
circuit through which direct current
flows. the current strength Is the
same as when the coll Is stretched
out Into a straight wire. Hut If the
roll Is in an alternating current cir
cuit and the electrical pressure Is the '
same as was present In the direct
current circuit, the current strength
will be considerably Increased If ?h?
<?<>11 !h stretched out Into a straight
wire. This shows that there must l>?)
a resistance effect caused by the colt
in the case of the alternating cur
rent circuit. That Is, coiling the wlro
has no effect upon direct current, but
does upon alternating current.
Now when mi elei trie current
changes In value constantly as doe*
the alternating current, there Is an
electrical pressure nr electromotive
I force created In a coil which nets in
] the opposite direction to the pressure
applied from the current source. The
back pressure, or "counter electromo
tive force," as It Is called, la acting
so long /is alternating current flows
In the circuit. Also, It has the effect
of n resistance upon the current
strength and may b<? colled an "ef
fective resistance." The name given
to this effective resistance Is, how
f.er, "reactance" or "Inductive re
iki tance." to distinguish It from an
i other type of reac tance caused hv a
condenser In circuit There is no loss
of energy In circuit There Is no loss
Inductive reactance, jind. therefore.
It cannot be considered ns an actual
resistance. It c.tn. however, he
measured In terms of an nctual re
sistance. That Is. Inductive reactance
can he measured In ohms. Although
there Is no energy loss due to In
ductive reatance. If It In Increased at
any time, the applied electrical pres
sure will also have to be Increased If
It Is den I red to maintain the same
current strength.
It must be remembered that In
duct! v? reactance opposes the flow
of alternating current, hut has no ,
j effect upon a steady direct current.
If something were available to neu- ^
| trallzet the effect of Inductance th?
Inductive reactance could be nullified
nnd would not affect the resultant
(current strength.
Inductive reactance increases with
an Increase of either Inductance or
freiuepcy and vice versa. f
