body ought to have plenty. How old will society have to be before men learn to feed themselves ? This year every family ought to have a basket of apples for the children to run to. The farmers' hogs are munching apples freely and everybody knows it pays better to feed apples to children than to hogs. Every family ought to be buying apples by the bushel; instead the housewives are taking home a few apples in litJtle paper bags. They buy them by the pound, and the grocer lifts out the big apple and puts in a little one to make the scale balance exactly right. But the boughs of the early apple trees had to be braced up to keep them from breaking and thousands of bushels never were picked because the farmer couldn't get enough for the fruit to pay for the trouble of harvesting it. The same fate befalls many other good food stuffs. So it always happens when there is plenty. The system of food distribution is maintained only by enforcing a partial shortage. The reason is the failure of the means of transportation. There is the reuglarly periodic car shortage. "It means" says "Standard Daily Trade Service," "serious business inconvenience. The year 1920 stands out as the one that witnessed our heaviest production; yet there was a continuous car shortage that year, as there was also throughout 1917, and during the earlier months of 1918." Perhaps it doesn't pay the railroads to have cars enough to do the business of the country. But no one can prove that it pays the country to have a car shortage. The food that wastes annually would buy a lot of freight cars.

GRADE CROSSING KILLINGS The whole country would be horrified if 2,000 people should be killed in a railroad accidents. There would be investigations and endless riscussions and suggestions for greater safety. Nearly 2,000 are killed every year as the result of getting in the way of trains at grade crossings. Not much is done to make such crossings safer. Moreover, nobody seems to learn any lessons from the frightful casualties. About the same number meet death from the same cause every year ; about the same number are injured. The figures read like the reports of battles. In 1917, 1959 were killed and 4,764 injured; in 1918, 1.852 were killed and 4,683 were injured; in 1919, 1,784 were killed and 4,616 were injured; in 1920. 1.791 were killed and 5,077 were injured, and in 1921, 1,705 were killed and 4, 868 were injured. In very large part these accidents must be the fault of the nature of the railroad crossing. Just now the country is spending millions of dollars to improve its roads. This is giving importance to the office of those charged with laying out and building highways and a better grade of officials is resulting. In view of these terrible losses from imperfectly constructed railroad crossings, the engineering skill now available ought to turn attention to improving conditions, not only of the improved roads but every road that intersects a railway.

WATCH THAT PLANE SOAR. They used to refer to it as the "auto game," but long since it has been a business, so with aviation. No longer the freak sport of sensttionalists it is today a practical art, whose usefulness to this and future generations none may measure. The second national Aero Congress which, with the National Aero race, will be held in Detroit next month, will focus the eyes of the world on America's development of an art she first made practicable. It is not without significance that these events are to be staged where inventive genius has been so generously murtured and where without doubt the airplane of the future will receive the same stimulus as the automobile. There came a time in the "auto game" when the customer asked : "Not how fast, but how far can the car go?" That converted it into a business. So today the average man sees nothing but folly in the stunts of circus performers endangering their own lives and shocking thou

sands. They ask, "Not what tricks but what

service can the airplane perform?" To answer

that question these events are planned. They

are to feveal to the country what marvellous strides in utiHty the airplane has made. For the airplane, unlike the giant cannon or the warship, serves at its higest in peace no less than in war.

of the sea going yacht Onward, flying the British flag, to allow the American "dry navy" to search his vessel at sea for whiskey, It was Intimated today. British newspapers are "playing up" the Onward Incident at great length. The admiralty has not yet received any report on it, 'but officials were inclined to believe that if the American prohibition officers were outside the three mile limit the affair constitutes an unfriendly and illegal act." It is possible that the foreign office will protest if the ifacts warrant. Officials of the foreign office

MUST PUSH TURK OUT OF EUROP

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22 --No matter if a temporary truce is patched up between the British and the Kemalist Turks, peace will ever hang by a slender thread in the Near East until Turkey is not only pushed out of Europe entirely but relegated to the status of a secondrate and subordinate nation in Asia Minor.

This was the opinion expressed to International News Service today by Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, member of the senate foreign relations committer, whose eventful service as American minister to Greece and Montenegro during the Taft administration brought him in close contact with the doep-rooted religious and political prejudices which have made the Balkans and Asia Minor the theatre of many bloody conflicts. "The news from the Near East is exactly the kind which 400 years of experience leads us to expect when organized Turkish armies come in contact with Christian minorities," Senator Moses said.
