Lord NorthclifFe and America MUCH has been written in American newspapers, in a sentimental and appreciative vein entirely proper to the occasion, about Lord Northcliffe since the death of the great British publisher. There remains to consider what practical effect his passing from the scene is likely to Have upon world politics in which this country must be involved. Northcliffe, through his journals, spoke to and influenced more Englishmen than perhaps any man in the Kingdom. His most popular paper, the London Daily Mail, had a circulation of upward of a million and a half. The Mail is a morning paper, with editions published in Manchester and Scotland as well as in London. It was started at a one cent price, sells now for two cents. The London Evening News had a circulation of around 600,000 —as large as the largest circulation of any/paper in New York. The Times had always a much more limited circulation, but was read assiduously by the politicians. Besides these there were pictorial papers and weeklies, some of Jhe latter of an educational character, which Northcliffe controlled. All of these constituted the medium through which the man made his character felt; Now as to the man himself. He had his shortcomings, as all men have. Perhaps vanity and an inclination to personal controversy were among them. In home politics he was listed as a conservative, but in action he generally proved independent. Journalistically he stood for the editorial departments of his papers, not the counting rooms. His readers were his first customers; his advertisers came second. His first thought was for his circulation; his second thought for liis private fortune. In international politics, if he stood primarily for any one j thing it was the preservation of Anglo-Saxon supremacy through! the preservation of Anglo-Saxon unity—particularly through the) preservation of amicable give-and-take relations between Great Britain, the British colonies and America. “A white man’s world” j was his hobby, and this was the way he saw of keeping it such. Anew controlling ownership must now step into Northcliffe’s i place at the head of the powerful newspaper organization which i he built up. Considering the preservation of sound Anglo-Amer-ican relations, no new ownership could improve—any conceivable new ownership must have the opposite effect—upon the situation which existed prior to Northcliffe’s death. This is the point which is significant in this country. Although it is not certain just who will be Northcliffe’a sue-; cessor, the best guess is that his brother, Lord Rothermere, w r ill be the man. Rothermere’s fortune is supposed to be much greater than his more prominent brother’s. Temperamentally he is much more of the business man and much less of the editor and public man than Northcliffe was. On questions like the payment of America’s loans to Great Britain it may be supposed that he will 1 he more open to the arguments of the London bankers than Northcliffe would have been. If so, this will have its affect here sooner or later. While in English party politics Rothermere is listed as a Liberal,” it is doubtful if in action he will ever be as independent and really liberal as Northcliffe was. M hatever happens to the Northcliffe papers, Americans should feel that they as well as Englishmen will be affected by the untimely death of their founder. Housewives’ Bureau THE cook in the kitchen is soon to be represented officially in Washington. This doesn’t refer to hired cooks so much ar to housewives who run the home in most of the households in America. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is preparing to set up in his department anew division to be known as the Bureau of Home Economics. At the head of it he says he is going to appoint a woman, to be chosen because she will know more about housekeeping than any one else he can find. The Secretary says she is going to rank just as high as any other chief in his department, albeit her task is that of dealing with the humble every-day problems of housewives. Already the Government has set up in the Labor Department a Women’s Bureau, which deals almost exclusively with questions pertaining to women who work outside the home. The proposed new Bureau of Home Economics is sponsored by Secretary Wallace on the theory that there are more women who work in homes than those who work outside.

BRITISH LEUEH ■ "SUGGESTS HIT TO MIKES Henderson Urges Parliament of Industry for England and America. WOULD. LESSEN DISPUTES Labor Head Favors Peaceful Strike Settlements as Better Solution. ARTHUR HENDERSON By iIILTOX PROSSER LONDON, Aug. 26.—The possible remedy for the continually recurring clashes and disputes between capital and labor in democracies like America and England is a parliament of industry. This is the carefully considered opinion of the Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, the most skilful leader tiie modern British labor party has produced. A prominent leader in the trades union movement, a member of parliament, secretary of the Labor party, a former member of the war cabinet, and the probable premier of Great Britain if the Labor party wins par i Lament, his opinions on industrial ; matters are always given great weight. In view of recent coal and railroad j strikes in England and similar con j ditions in the United States, he said: j “The problem of industrial unrest ! has been growing more acute during J recent years. There can be no /iues tion of the workers surrendering their | right to strike. But it is a weapon that should not be used lightly or rashly. No stoppage of Industry should j take place until every pacific means j of arriving at a setjement has been j exhausted. “I believe that force in industrial ; affairs, by whomsoever it may be em- [ ployed, is as futile in the long run as is ; force in international affairs. Pictures Advantages “I believe it is possible to advance to higher stages of industrial organization by peaceful processes as I am convinced it is possible to attain a higher level of international life without recourse to war. “Industry requires a truce to conflict. The workers cannot continue Indefinitely the victims of severe unemployment. sernstarvation, low wages, domestic distress and social wretched ness. “In my Judgment the first step toward economic recovery and a betterment of the workers’ conditions of life i lies in the creation of some form of machinery capable of investigating ar.d dealing with the problems, common to all sections of industry, which are the root cause of Industrial unrest and conflict. “Such a body is to be found in the establishment of a Parliament of Industry, representative of employers', workers’ and the community’s Interests. “It is not only desirable, but essential. that such a parliament should come Into existence not on the initiative of the Government, but on the initiative of trade unions and employers’ organizations. It should be an independent body without any connection with the State —though it might be deemed advisable later to seek recognition by the State and to ootain powers defined by legislation. Would Aid Progress "An industrial parliament, would provide a mouthpiece by which new ideas can be expressed and ar organization by which their practical application to industry can be worked out. “Some of the questions of a general character to which it might direct its attention would be: the status of the worker in industdy, insurance oy industry, workmen's compensation, the standard of life as affected by wages and hours, working conditions, holidays, industrial fatigue and nygiene, investigating new processes, devising better methods of organization, dealing with unemployment, underemployment, and the maintenance of the compulsorily idle workers. “It might devise ways and means of securing for the workers an adequate share in the proceeds of industry, and for.inaugurating a multitude ol desirable reforms. “It could scrutinize and advise upon all legislative proposals affecting industry tis a whole, and it should be ready, if its services were required, to act in a mediatory capacity in the case of industrial disputes that might arise. It might also have powers of initiation and be able to submit agreed draft bills to parliament.” IF YOU WELL BRED You are courteous not only to your friends, but to people in general. If a stranger accidentally stumbles over your feet in the street car, or is pushed against you in a crowd, you should politely acknowledge his excuses and not ignore him or give him a stony stare. No woman is truly polite who cancot be gracious even when she is inconveniened or annoyed.

Multimillionaire Wheat King Charges Labor System Crushes Farm Enterprise

By ROY GIBBONS. CHICAGO. Aug. 26.—“ The American farmer is being crushed by a labor system that permits part of the people to fix their own wages, while the agriculturist's reward is fixed by competitive conditions.” / This is the opinion of James A. Patten, multimillionaire wheat king of Chicago, given in an interview in which he discussed the fact that the ‘farmer’s dollar has shrunk to 71 per cent of its former value. The drop is due to the decreased price of farm commodities as compared to what he buys. Patten for years has been a keen student of agricultural conditions and his views are accepted as authoritative by students of the subject. "I am asked where the farmer is headed for and what solution there is for his present situation,” Patten said. “In reply I answer, the farmer is not headed apywhere—he has already arrived. His trouble is fundamental, and it cannot be cured by local applications. Wages Reduced "Crops represent the wages of the farmer. He gets so many bushels of wheat for his year's labor. The exchange value of the wheat measured in terms of the products of other labor represents the farmer’s reward. "If his products will now exchange for only 71 per cent of what they exchanged for in 1913, as shown oy Government reports, then his wages have been reduced by that much. “When economic factors have free play the reward for one form of labor when measured in the products of an other form of labor will bear an equitable relation to the amount of human effort involved in each production. “The fundamental difficulty now is that the pr.ee of the farmer's products is fixed by free competition.

RADIO CHAIN OF THE U. S. NAVY AIDED BY LAND CABLES TO OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD.

By NBA Service WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 26. The world’s greatest radio business is being conducted by the United States Navy. Facts and figures given out by naval officials here show an increased volume of messages among the department's ratflo stations, which they say surpasses the business of any other country or corporation on earth. That does not exclude the world-wide Imperial Radio Chain, which is being contemplated by Great Britain. The immensity of the naval radio service may be imagined from the fact that the department has more than $25,000,000 invested in this undertaking. More than 8,000,000 words are transmitted monthly. Besides its own official business, the Navy does $lO,000,000 worth of commercial radio business annually.

all parts of the earth, over land and soa—and into the air! For each naval airplane also has a complete transmitting and receiving set by which it can communicate with its ship or land station or with other airplanes. Along both our coasts and at points on our island possessions are naval radio compass stations which form a chain of safety for ships at sea. There are more than fifty of these stations, all built up within the last three years. By furnishing bearings to ships approaching the coast, these stations have helped considerably in saving lives, time and property. It is during foggy weather, or stormy seas, that a vessel seeking port finds the aid of the naval compass station most beneficial. For lying off port until the fog lifts or the stoiTn calms means an expense of at least SSOO to the ship owner. For the fleet, radio is an essential link. Emergencies, maneuvers and all sorts of utility work come under the direct orders of the naval department at Washington—-by means of radio. There are some 650 naval ship stations, 102 naval airplane stations and 180 shore stations—all of which are joined together by radio. These stations are all over the globe, on possessions of the United States and at various points in the open sea. Powerful stations they are, too. The station at the Presidio, near San Francisco, is one of. the finest in the world. The first high-power continuous wave station was built by the U. S. Navy in the Canal Zone in 1914.

termined by the wages paid in its production, and these wages are not fixed in free competition, but are artificially established. “The farmer, therefore, is the chief victim of a situatibn in which one class of labor is subsidized by wages maintained at an artificial level, and another glass which has its wage determined by free competition. “In the end, economic law will force a correction by luring men out of the low paid occupations into subsidized occupations until food scarcity restores the balance. “Human society cannot be maintained permanently upon the basis of half competition and half subsidy. No legislation, tariff, financial or other, can reach out and cure this situation. There can be no cure until we give up our attempts at partial socialism and accord free play to economic law.” —Copyright, 1922, NEA Service.

COMPLEXION By DR. R. U. BISHOP —— do you buy your complexion i Jr tl at the drug store f " or grocery [EzjV A Let me tell you LMG \ J a little beauty OJA J secret—the best J and most lasting j l iL complexions are V-\ a bought from groJa eery stores. Despite the oft- _ _sissH!!?L_J repeated axiom that beauty is only skin deep, you always find the most beautiful complexions walking hand-in-hand with good health, and unless you eat right, you can’t be healthy. To maintain a clear, healthy complexion it is necessary to eliminate all body wastes promptly. Wastes are not eliminated promptly because the right food is not eaten. Elimination cannot go on thoroughly unless the intestines are kept filled up by eating the food that leaves a residue in the intestinal tube after digestion has done its part. Concentrated food leaves little or no residue. Every farmer knows that his livestock, in winter, needs to be fed what he calls roughage. That is, straw. It fills up the stomach and the intestinal tube. This filling-up is necessary for animals; it is equally necessary for human beings. The reason for sluggish elimina tion is the eating of food that is too highly concentrated and leaves little or no residue. The concentrated forms in which foods are now produced are largely to blame. Such concentrated foods as sugars, starches, fats, fruit juices and all fluid foods leaves little or no residue. They are almost wholly Absorbed—sent to the tissues and organs of the body. Other foods with a content, like the skins and seeds of fruit: the outer covering of grain, such as bran of wheat and the skin of corn: the stringy portions of vegetables, a3 found in the outer layers of celery and substantially all raw vegetables, especiail raw cabbage; the body of asparagus, spinach, string beans, oranges, nuts, raisins, prunes and the fiber of meats, all leave a residue, because they are not soluble or digestible and consequently are not absorbed.

BORAH BOH FQH PRESIDENT OPENS NEW POSSIBILITIES Movement for Third Party In 1924 Gains Impetus in Senator’s State. DIVISION OVER PRIMARY ■ ’ Progressive Campaign May Be Backed in Idaho by AntiTariff Group. , By United News SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.—The possibility of anew and independent political party, to be headed by Senator William E. Borah, is causing wide interest throughout the West. The report was given definite form ' by news from Nampa, Idaho, that the “Idaho Progressive Uarty,” generally regarded a&> Borah’s personal political machine, has launched a boom for ' "Borah for President” on an independent ticket in 1924. Borah Causes Split i At the same time the Ida.ho Republican State convention, meeting j at Wallace, rejected a direct primary plank advocated by Borah, by a vote ■ of 171 to 31 and took a stand advo--1 eating the Fordney-McCumber tariff , in the face of Borah’s opposing vote ' in the Senate. The “Idaho Progress- ' ive Party” indorsed the direct primary system. ' While in the past Borah has always ' bad Idaho in his vest pocket, his stand on the traiff, especially his vote against "Schedule 11” on wool, has 'j aroused wide opposition and caused a ;j split in the Republican ranks. Idaho Republicans are strongly ! supporting the wool tariff because Idaho is a sheep raising State. The ! cattle Interests are also said to resent 1 Borah’s vote against the bill.
