A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth; he will guide his affairs with discretion. —Psalms 112:5. Meat for Captains to Chew THEODORE PRICE, noted economist and writer on economies, and perhaps the shrewdist, wisest and frankest adviser of big business and high finance in the United States, has just handed the following + o our captains of industry for them to chew on: “The greater volume of business (heavy increases in July referred to) has not brought satisfactory profits to many manufacturers, and thbir insistence that wages must come down has partially obscured the fact that wages are subject to the same economic influences as bonds and stocks and that there is a market for labor as well as for commodities, a market which is bound to go up when demand begins to exceed supply. These are facts, whether we think higher wages are economically desirable at present or not. Most of us think not, but sellers who want higher prices must also expect to pay them for labor. The Steel Corporation’s recognition of this fact is courageous, and it is the most convincing expression of confidence in the permanence of better business that could be given.” Captains of railroads may not have keen appetites, but they’ll have to chew this mouthful from Price because it is so obviously the truth. . i We’ll Have Fireworks If No Fire OUR Indiana Senator, "Watson, is quoted as saying he doesn’t think there will be any profiteering in coal this winter. As an up-to-the-minute observer he’s the original Rip Van Winkle. There is no “will be” about it. It’s a case of “has been,” “now is” and “will continue to be.” Everybody in the country knows—unless it be Senator Watson—that the price of coal went up shortly after the tie-up began. Prices have been going higher and higher ever since—NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THAT IT WAS COSTING THE MINE OWNERS NO MORE TO PRODUCE THE COAL. Miners have now—or shortly will have—gone hack to work exactly where they left off, wages and all. Operators go back to work with the average price of coal at the mine around $6.50 a ton. OR MORE THAN $4 A TON OVER WHAT THEY WERE GETTING WHEN THEY SHUT DOWN. WHO’S HOLDING THE PUBLIC UP FOR THIS TRIBUTE OF $4 ON EVERY TON? No profiteering? Perhaps our Indiana Senator calls it by its right name.

Waste Paper TWELVE hundred dollars’ worth of office furniture is displayed in a downtown store window—all of it for one office. And as we looked at it, we noticed the large and ornate waste basket that goes with the set. Even in that sort of an office such a basket today is a necessity. Did you ever stop to think how much good paper, printers’ ink and labor is carelessly tossed into your own waste basket every day? When the thermometer on the Federal Building kiosk stands at 90, the postman goes toiling and boiling under the load that will help fill Indianapolis waste baskets. And he likely wishes that the authors of much of his load would think of the fate that some of their so-called mail matter will meet, before they intrust it to Uncle Sam. As we examined our own mail today and started to fill our large waste basket, we were strong for the postman’s wish. What Do You Like for Breakfast? ALL medicine is not bitter. Sometimes the doctor’s advice is pleasant, easy to take and requires no self denial. For instance: The Medical Review of Reviews queried doctors in fortysix States. Three out of every four of them advised eating a hearty breakfast. One medical authority added that the digestive apparatus was at its best after a night’s sleep. The system, like a furnace, is low on fuel in the morning, he said, and needs a good sized meal. In New England it has long been the custom to eat pie for breakfast. The head of the Illinois State Department of Health says it is safe to have pie with our bacon and eggs. Ralph Waldo Emerson always ate pie for breakfast.

A.—The finest specimen of cathedral architecture at present existing in this country is St. Patrick's Rjmun Catholic Cathedral in New York City, begun in 1858 and practically completed in 1883, at a cost of some $2,500,000. It Will, however, be surpassed in size and magnificence by the new Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of Bt John the Divine, in the same city, vhich is now being built. CORRECTION—In a statement it was made in this column that Gecrge M. Cohan is an American of . ewish ancestry, born at Providence, R. I.

A. —Shoes are not measured by meters and inches, but by a key number which varies in every different make of shoes. Manufacturers determine this. Q.—What is rolling stock? • A.—The portable or movable apparatus and machinery of a railroad, particularly such as moves on the road, that is, engine, cars, tenders, coaches and trucks. Q.—Why Is the ocean salty? A.—Because the water which strikes the earth in the form of rain sinks into the earth as pure water, but on the way picks up some salt- Later it finds its way into a fiver and eventually into the ocean. All this time it has been carrying a tiny bit of salt

which it picked up on going through the ground. When tne water reaches the ocean some of it is taken up by the sun in the process of evaporation that is constantly going on, but the salt remains behind. And so the salt from countless drops of water is constantly being left in the ocean. This, continuing as it has for countless ages, has made the sea more and more salt, and it Is becoming more so all the time. Q- —How deep Is the oecan where the Titanic went down? A.—No exact soundings have ever been made, but it is estimated to be between 2,000 and 2,100 fathoms. Q- —Which was the richer nation befor the beginning of the World War, England or the United States? A.—The United States, her national wealth being estimated at $131,000,000,000, while that of Great Britain was estimated at $80,000,000,000. Q-—Name five women who have really done things? A.—Elizabeth Fry, prison reformer; Dorothea D;x, improved the cond.tion of lunatics and prisoners, procuring ameliorative, legislation in many States; Mary Baker Eddy, founded a religion; Florence Nightingale, p.oneer in army nursing; Joan or Arc, warrior. IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You will never crossj your legs or fold your arms in the presence of guests. It is decidely poor form to balance yourself on the rear legs of a chair, especially at the table. An American diplomat once suffered a stinging rebuke from a European queen because the former crossed his legs. No breach of etiquette could be worse, the courtly Europeans believe.

TRIITY'S RECTOR OPENS EPISCOPAL CHORCH MEETING The Rev. Alexander Mann Says Prayer Before Gathering of Delegates. HUNDREDS VISIT CITY Bishop Sumner Will Be Host at Oregon Residence Entertainment. Bp United Press PORTLAND. Ore., Sept. 6—The forty-seventh triennial convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America opened here today, with a monster mass meeting. Delegations from every diocese in America and from many foreign countries participated. The great civic auditorium was banked high when at 10 o’clock the white-robed choir of 250 voices marched down the main aisles to the swinging, stirring strains of "Onward, Christian Soldiers.” As the last note died away, the ranks of the choir opened to form a white-walled lane, down which 110 members of the house of bishops, each churchman rybed with the flowing vestments of his office. marched to their places on the rostrum. At their head strode the Most Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle of St. Louis, Mo., presiding bishop. The choir then formed its ranks and proceeded to its place upon the rostrum. Mann Says Prayer The opening prayer was said by the Rev. Alexander Mann, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, .Boston, Mass., president of the house of deputies. Dr. Henry Anstice of New York City, secretary of the house of deputies, and Dr. J. P. Nelson, secretary of the house of bishops, then read the special Bible lessons arranged for the occasion. The Rt. Rev. Edward T. Lines, bishop of the diocese of Newark, preached the sermon of exhortation to the assembled delegates. Bishop Walter Taylor Sumner of the diocese of Oregon was master of ceremonies. Hundreds of churchmen partook of the holy communion this morning In the Episcopal churches throughout the city. The houses of bishops and deputies celebrated their corporate communion In Trinity Church while the delegates to the triennial convention of the Wdmen’s Auxiliary made their communion In St. Stephen’s procathedral. 5,000 Assembling This afternoon the various houses and departments of the convention were in session for preliminary organization, and the business for which 5.000 and more delegates and members of the church are assembling hare was In actual motion. One of the most elaborate social events of the general convention has been set for tonight, visiting bishops and their families will be entertained as the guests of Bishop "Walter Sumner at Blshopcroft, the Oregon Episcopal residence. The presiding bishop. Bishop Tuttle, and his sister, Miss Sarah R. White of St. Louis, Bishop and Mrs. Thomas F. Gailor of New York City, and Bishop and Mrs. Walter T. Sumner will receive the guests. Chairmen Will Report The actual business of the convention will start tomorrow. Including any preliminary work wh’ch was not completed today. The reports of various committees appointed at the last general convention will be received as the initial movement of the machinery of the great gathering. The city of Portland has opened Its heart to the visiting clergy and lay delegates. Hotels, apartment houses and private dwellings have their quotas and many delegates who brought their families with them have taken houes for the period of the convention. which will be about three weeks. Almost as many clerical dollars may be seen on the streets now as were fezes when the annual convention of the Mystic Shrine claimed Portland for Its own.

WATER Bu DR. R. H. BIRTIOP OU N T up how v i many uses there Vw are for water in k'* the human. And I then judge from j j this number how ) j important a part , , water plays in our i life. It’s astonishVj The human body r j is built up of . i countless millions of each one surrounded by a fluid .medium—the blood—and the cells themselves are largely composed of water, too. In fact, about 60 per cent of the human body consists of this element. The cells get their nutrition from the blood and cast ' off their waste matter into It. So, whon too little fluid is supplied, the blood maintains a higher specific gravity and the poisonous waste products of tissue or cell are cast off very imperfectly. Thus the body is poisoned by its own excretions. The uses of water in the body have been summarized as follows; 1. —lt is incorporated in the tissues. 2. —lt is the chief ingredient of all fluids of the body—insuring their proper degree of dilution. 3. —lt prevents friction by moistening the membranes. 4. —lt distributes the food to the tissues and removes waste matters, through the work of the blood. 5. —lt regulates the temperature by absorption and evaporation. 6. —lt distributes the body heat. The quantity of water required by each individual will vary accordidng to his size and the nature of his work, but a safe estimate is from two and a half to three pints a day. The deprivation of water means death to every living thing. One may live without eating for weeks, but without water he would die in a few days. However, excessive consumption also has its bad effects, so care should be taken to take enough, but not too much.

EUROPEAN NATIONS STRIVE FOR SUPREMACY OF THE AIR

Bp MILTON BROWNER Times Staff Correspondent LONDON, Sept. 6.—Supremacy in the air is the goal European nations are racing for. France stands easily first, with England a pdor second, and Germany a great question mark. British engineers are trying to offset French numerical superiority, while the best German brains are at work not only inventing new devices, but evading the restriction put upon their air future by the allies. These developments are , causing the most concern—especially to the French: Germany’s recent amazing strides in perfecting gliders, which they claim may change the entire future of air history; while a German glider remained up more than two hours, the best the French could do was five minutes. The reported manufacture In a neighboring country under German supervision of the powerful all-metal giant monoplane known as the Zeppelin Staaken. France Stirred Stirred by her fears of possible German aggression in the future and determined to preserve her military domination on the continent, France has the largest and best trained military air service in the world. Laurent Eynac, French air minister, claims his country stands flgst both in military and commercial aviation. French aircraft factories, encouraged by the government, are turning out 150 mach.nes a month. France has 126 squadrons of airplanes in her offensive and defensive forces and by the end of next year proposes to have 220 squadrons, or nearly 2,000 ready for active duty. In addition there are 698 planes In civilian work capable of being used for military purposes. Commercial air travel Is possible between Paris and London, Brussels, Strassbourg.

Should Repeal Transportation Act, Says lowa Senatorial Candidate

Bp NEA Berries DES MOINES. Ia„ Sept. Repeal ot the transportation act. which he declares opened up untold avenues for waste, is the principal issue upon which Col. S. W. Brookhart, Republican candidate for United States Senator from lowa, is making his campaign for election. Senator Cummins, senior Senator from the same State, is co-author of the act which Brookhart denounces. Colonel Brookhart’s nomination was hailed by progressives ns a singular victory. "The railroad law should never have been enacted and it should bo immediately repealed,” Colonel Brookhart declared. "It legalized the capitalization of about seven billion dollars of water, and provided a legislative guaranty of per cent on this fictitious capital. "At the very time that the Interstate commerce commission was fixing the aggregate value of the railroads at approximately 19 billion dollars, all the railroad*stocks and bonds of the country could have been bought for about 12 billion dollars. About 10 billion dollars of this bonded capital was procured by the railroads at approximately 4ti rer cent, making a bonus of more than 150 million dollars a year difference between this lnteerst rate and the guaranty rate. The guaranty provisions'of the law, which are in effect a 'cost-plus’ system, opened up untold avenues for waste In the furnishing of material and supplies. All of these items increased the cost of transportation by over a billion dollars a year.

For example, we J should not permit the railroads to | capitalize the unearned increment to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars a year on land which they received free from the people.

Senator Cummins, that “if Colonel ■ Brookhart's power were commensu- ; rate with his apparent desires, this I Government would not last a fortnight." Colonel Brookhart said: “Either Senator Cummins is right and I am wrong or vice versa. The voters of lowa will decide the question in November. If I am defeated I am out. If I am elected. Senator Cummins should quit, as it will then be apparent that he Is not in line yith the views of the people of this State. Sergvtor Cummins should be willing to risk two senatorships on this election. Therefore I propose that he submit his resignation to the Governor of lowa, to take effect the iay I am elected United State Senator, and permit the governor to appoint someone in his place more in harmony with the views of lowa voters."

FAIER-LM PMT¥ RENEWS LOtytimn North Dakota Acknowledges Control With Minnesota * in Group. COVERS STATE IN AUTO Townley, non-Partisan Agent, Seeks Cooperation With Farm Groups. By FRANK J. TAYLOR. Times Staff Correspondent • MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 6. The farmer-labor movement.is off with a fresh start, with the Non-partisan League again on the offensive in both Minnesota and North Dakota. It is a curious political combination the farmers and labor organizations have formed up here, to take control of two great States. North Dakota is already in their control. Minnesota is almost captured, but not quite. A. C. Townley, organizer of the Nonpartisan League, is now in North Dakota, with a staff of sixty organizers in automobiles, in which they will cover the State In the next few months. Fanners Discontented The time is ripe. Farmers are discontented. Bad crops during the past two years are followed by falling prices this year when they have something to sell. Movement Is held up by -failing railroad transportation. Farmers are paying their dues and pledging renewed faith in the Nonpartisan League, which promises State warehouses, credits and insurance. Townley, last year, made his headquarters in this city, working for the farmer-labor movement. He sented the farmer end of the combination. Labor rallied under the leadership of former Socialist Mayor Thomas Van Lear, who made Minneapolis la bor political minded. A part of each union’s dues goes Into the political fund to aid the farmer-labor movement. Leaders Disagree Now Townley and Van Lear are in disagreement on political strategy. Not that they have broken, but Townley was overruled by Van Lear, so he went back to organizing his farmers In North Dakota. Townley says the way to gain political power is to bore from within one party or the other. His is the "balance of power” theory. He wanted to join with the Democrats in the Minnesota election. Van Lear said no. He insists upon a straight farmer-labor or labor or Socialist ticket, independent of the other parties. Thus, divided, the farmer-labor movement somehow goes marching on.
