HEALTH SACRIFICE TOLD TO TEACHERS

(By Associated Press) CLEVELAND. O., Feb. 24. The lives of hundreds of thousands of persons are sacrificed annually, human man-power immeasurably wasted and staggering economic loss results from the failure to apply scientificc knowledge to the prevention of needless weakness, disease and death, said Dr. Thomas D. Wood, professor of physical education at Columbia university, New York, addressing the National Council of Education today. The council is composed of 120 of the leading educators of the country attending the National Education convention here. "Our schools are wasting enormous sums in trying to educate children handicapped by ill health," Dr. Wood said.' "Seventy-flve per cent, or 16,000,000 school children of the United States have phjfcsical defects which are mostly remediable. This shows that the business of keeping the school children of the country in good physical condition is a disgrace to the nation. , "Every day tnsjtes tnor apparent the fact that the most vital part of our educational work is health education. The public school is the chief agency through which this education must be given and practiced in sane healthful living. May Have Election Fight. Predictions of a fight over methods of election were topics of discussion before the 8,000 delegates. F. M. Hunter, superintendent of the Oakland, Calif., schools, was prepared to submit a resolution providing a primary system of nomination, the two with the highest votes to appear on the final ballot. At present the nominaion is in the hands of a committee chosen by the president. "We preach Democracy In our schools; let's have it in our organization," was Mr. Hunter's argument. Other organizations discussed hygiene. Americanization work in the schools, school gardening, and general school activities.

ment among senate Democrats for the holding of a party caucus for con-, federation of a possible shift In policy on treaty reservations continued to- j

day under the surface.

Would Signal Mars With Smoke Screens: Better Than Figures on Earth, He Says (By Associated Press) BRYN MAWR. Pa., Feb. 24. Use of the government's surplus of smoke making material left over from the war in signalling Mars was suggested today by James J. Crenshaw, associate

professor of chemistry at Bryn Mawr: college, who 'served in the chemical '.

warfare division in the Americian expeditionary forces. Smoke , screens hundreds of miles in width, he believed, would be more likely to " be discerned by possible Martians- thaJH-tbegeowrtxiceal "designs which Sir Oliver Lodge suggested be laid out on the Saraha desert. The government has enough smoke making material to create a tremendous screen or spot on the earth, and this material can be used for no other purpose, Prof Crenshaw said. He advocated covering an area as big as the state of Pennsylvania with either black or white smoke. "Smoke screens hundreds of miles in length were used on the front during the war, and there is no reason to doubt that they could not be massed for signalling," he continued. "If anything would reach Mars, if their intelligence reaches ours which is necessarily pre-supposed they

would undoubtedly have telescopes

which would enable them to distinguish a large spot on the earth's surface." Prof. Crenshaw believes it would be possible to make the spot appear or disappear by regulating the flow of smoke.

RED HORRORS MUST CEASE BEFORE RUSS RULE IS RECOGNIZED (By Associated Press) LONDON, Feb. 24. The Allies will decline to deal with Soviet Russia "until they have arrived at the conviction that the Bolshevist horrors have come to an end," it was announced at a meeting of the Allied supreme council today.

LONDON. Feb. 24. Recognition of the Russian soviet government by entente nations is not contemplated by the supreme allied council but trade relations may be resumed and mutual engagements relative to aggression agreed upon as a result of yesterday's conversations by the council, according to newspapers here. Premier Millerand of France, is understood to have voiced the fear of France, that united Russia might be a serious menace to western Europe, while Premier Lloyd George and Nittl have taken the view that Russia has been broken up and is not dangerous. Reports therefore that premier Millerand has agreed to decisions reached by the council are taken to mean that a middle ground has beei found on which the allies can stand until developments show true conditions. Poland is said to have won over to the British view, but Rumania is reported to have asked guarantees from the allies relative to the risks involved in direct negotiations with the Bolsheviki. Representatives of the Baltic states and Finland are also said to have been promised support should there be further aggression on the part of the soviet government.

Agitation Against Turks in Constantinople Meets With Opposition in Press (By Associated Press) LONDON, Feb. 24 Agitation in favor of expelling the Turks from Constantinople, which has been a conspicuous feature in one section of the press during the last few days and which has had the support of religious and philanthropic bodies, met a counter blast from another section of the London newspaper world today, which contended the question was one of such Importance that it could not be settled on sentimental considerations, but must be left to the matured deliberation of the supreme allied council.

In a lengthy argument the Tele-i

graph asserted that British statesmanship has "neither the duty nor interest to expel he Sultan from Constantinople" and expressed the opinion that agitation to this end wa3 "ill-inspired and ill considered." "We counsel those who sincerely support it," the newspaper continued.

"to give more unprejudiced study to new factors in the problem especially Great Britain's position as a power which must not disregard the feelings

of many millions of its moslem sub-1

jects." The Daily News which has always been a staunch champion of the Americans and a supporter of Gladstone's demand to "sweep the Turks of Europe," also calls for consideration of the problem in the light of present

circumstances. It says the real question is the weight to be attached to

warnings of Moslem unrest as a result of the expulsion of the Turks from their spiritual capital.

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 14. About 80 percent of the Red army in Russia is not "red" at all, but is neutral, according to the staff correspondent of the Handelsblad, G. Nypels. who has just returned from an extended tour through soviet Russia. He says about 60 percent of the officers, who are largely drawn from the trained military men of the old upper class, are "Czarist," in inclination. This leaves only about 20 percent of the soldiers and 40 percent of the officers, thoroughly attached to the soviet regime, the rest being neutral or Czarist. Nypels, one of the few neutral observers permitted to visit Moscow and other soviet cities recently gives much new information regarding conditions there, in a series of articles now running in his paper. Had Revealed Plot. He reached soviet Russia through Poland in December and. was, he says, more courteously treated by the Bolsheviki than by the Poles, though he had been warned that he had incurred

disfavor of the Bolsheviki because he revealed in Amsterdam the plot to finance Bolshevik propaganda .through sale-oX the jewels of the- former Russian Emperor on the Amsterdam diamond bourse. In general he observes that "there are two kinds of Bolsheviki. The first class, he says, are cranks with a lot of adventurers and rascals following their track. These people, he rays, are very vain but if one knows how to treat them they are as wax in one's hands. The second class are the true theorists the adherents of Marx's principles, who are serious, well meaning people and invariably treat one fairly.

the house agriculture committee but j

was termined upon only after prolonged discussion. Representative John W.

Earlham Grades High, Says Edwards; Blames Tobacco, Frats. for Other Failures Work was never on a higher standard at Earlham, than it is this year, according to President David M. Edwards in answer to the statement made Monday, by Dean Stanley Coulter of Purdue, that the number of students leaving colege because of delinquencies is greater than at any time in the history of American institutions. Told that Dean Coulter has attributed a large number of failures to fraternities, saying that the average number of fraterlnty failures exceeded by far that of non-fraternity men. Dr. Edwards said he was not surprised. "I know it sounds like hearsay to some people, but it seems to me the general atmosphere of fraternity houses is quite different to that sought by the educational Institutions of this country. It is not conducive to studiousness, nor high averages of class work. If the work of fraternity men is lower on an average than sorority women I should say that it is probably due to the fact that the tobacco habit has not invaded the latter realm to such an extent as it' has the fraternity house."

Coal Wage Increase Means Big Burden on Consumer, Says Colorado Operator (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. The recent 14 percent wage increase awarded coal miners will add $5,000,000 to the burden oh consumers In Colorado if coal operators there are allowed to increase prices to produce an adequate return on their investment, E. H. Weitzel, of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, today told the senate coal investigating committee. The wage increase, he said, could not be absorbed by his company, which operated in 1919 at a loss of 7.4 cents a ton. Colorado miners did not need the w:ige Increase, he said, some miners under the former scale receiving as high as $3,500 a year while the average was about $1,682. Employes of his company had opposed the strike. Prior to 1919, he added, employes of the company owned 218 automobiles at a cost of $181,850 and in 1919 this increased to 246 at a cost of $245,600, while during the first six weeks in 1920, 75 new automobiles were purchased.

REA ASKSjJBERAL PAY (By Associated Pross) WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 President Wilson will not act immediately on the compromise railroad bill passed yesterday by the senate. It was announced at the white house today that the president had directed that the measure be referred to the department of justice as soon as it reached the white house from congress. The executive has 10 days in which to pass upon the act before it can become a law without his signature. It is generally expected that he will be urged by representatives of the railroad brotherhoods and by organized labor generally, to veto the bill, because of its labor and other provisions. Labor May Break Yet. Threats of a break in the affiliated railroad employes' organizations militated today against immediate solution of the questions before the representatives of 2,000,000 rail workers conferring here on President Wilson's proposal for a settlement of their settlement of their wage demands. Because of a wide divergence of views held by the. committeemen called to Washington to consider the White house policy, executives of the organizations admitted that they did not know whether they could hold the strength they had gained when it was agreed ten days ago that the organizations should affiliate to consider the proposal. l-i every conference, it who anlif Ha.

mands for an appeal to the president to veto the railroad bill, continued to grow mbre insistent. The leaders, theYefore, were confronted with the task of explaining to the local chairmen the basic reason for their tentative acceptance of the President's plan, while the latter were bitterly attacking the government's general policy and the manner in which it had dealt with the wage controversy. Unions May Appeal A direct appeal may be made by the unions for a veto to prevent the arbitration provisions, to which they object, going into effect. Several officers declared that such an appeal was necessary to meet the unrest among their - membership. Strike talk was open in the hotel lobbies where the union men gathered, though by some of the higher officers, it was discountenanced- While claiming that a strike call would be 100 per cent effective, they expressed belief that this was not the time for such drastic measures, in view of public disapproval such a course would command. President Wilson's proposal, discussed heatedly in secret meetings, may not be accepted by the union men, according to reliable Information. Many documents bearing on the wago question and the cost of living have been circulated between the white house, railroad administration and the committee meetings of the fifteen railroad unions. None of the unions expected to finish consideration of the question before tonight, while a number probably will require tomorrow also to formulate their reply. PHILADELPHIA Samuel Rea. president of the Pennsylvania railroad, in a statement today said the passage of the railroad bill is beneficial to the country because it has been removed from a political discussion, that increased public unrest and uncertainty. "We will do all In our power." he said, "to make the bill a decidedly constructive measure in practice and beneficial to the public, the employers and the owners of railroad securities. "But the main responsibility for its success rests on the interstate commerceVommission in fixing a fair valuation of the railroads and having liberal views on railroad compensation, and above all in assuring that railroad credit is kept so sound, through reasonable earnings, that new capital for their expansion will be available at all times and that railroad expansion can precede business demands, and its
