Poor Building Inspection

-The collapse of buildings, especially theatres, -which have collected a heavy toll of lives in many ; parts of the United States, makes one wonder : about the inspection of these structures before they are opened to the public. In the Pittsburgh theatre collapse, in which ) one child was killed and scores injured, the build!ing inspector explained the tragedy by saying jthat the floor had been improperly constructed, but this does not tell whey the floor was not thoroughly inspected before patrons were perI mitted to enter the playhouse. Another tragic instance of inadequate provi

sion for the inspection of buildings was the collapse of a theatre roof in Washington that brought death to nearly 100 persons.

In both cases the necessity of stringent building regulations is emphasized. The public has just as much right to protection in buildings as it has on the thoroughfares. If traffic regulations are enacted and enforced to protect the public on the streets, then building codes should carry provisions which will safeguard the men,

women and children who use the structures for homes, business or amusement purposes. The question of the cost of safeguarding the building against accidents is a minor one. It should have no consideration in any building code. Safety of life and limb is paramount to the monetary consideration. Opposition to regulation and supervision of building enterprises cannot be condoned in light of the deaths for which poor inspection has been

responsible in many cities of the United States. Public buildings especially should be carefully watched when they are in tha process of construction so that all danger of collapse when they are crowded will be removed. ,

Hospital Tag Day-

Citizens will be asked to buy tags Saturday to

help support Reid Memorial hospital, an institu

tion which ministers to the sick and" suffering of

the community.

Annuallv citizens have shown their interest

in the institution by a generous purchase of tags

on this day. The ladies' aid society of the hospital works with untiring zeal for the betterment

of the hospital.

Many of the supplies of the institution are

provided by the society, and they money con

tributed on tag day is used for the purchase of material which the society works up into the

accessories that are required in large amounts.

A hospital is an institution whose worth is

appreciated most in an hour of emergency. Few

of us appreciate the administrative work involved and the amount of time which the aid so

ciety gives freely to provide materials. We may show our interest by a generous pur chase of tags on Saturday.

Ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feeling!

Secret Agents in Washington Foreign Governments Maintain Press Bureaus to Spread Propaganda and Further Their Ends.

After Dinner Tricks

By FREDERICK J. HASKIV WASHINGTON. D. C, Sept. 29. Novelists could well afford to -with draw their attention from abroad and concentrate on Washington for material for those thrilling stories of espionage and political intrigue whicn the public so eagerly devours. For a long time, the popular novelist has de lighted to let his characters get into all kinds of scrapes and have hairbreadth escapes and discover important secrets of state in such places as Geneva, Petrograd. Monte Carlo, and Rome. They could do just as well at Washington. Since the war, Washington has become in certain sense the capital of the world. With all nations looking to the United States as the leader of iternational activity our National Capital has taken on increased importance. Washington as a headquarters for diplomatic activity has long had considerable vogue, but never so much as at the present. The increased business of this character started with the war when the propagandists and diplomats, special commissioners and plenipotentiaries of all principal nations came here as steel is drawn to a magnet. Nearly all of them have stayed and ply their trade as diligently as ever. The treaty of Versailles provided for several new states in pursuance of the doctrine of self-determination which President Wilson introduced at the peace table. All of these nations were born in turmoil and have been encountering difficulties in holding their hard-won identity. The opinion has become fixed in Europe that a government can accom

plish almost anything by convincing American public of the justice of the

cause. It seems that the world bows to .the collective American mind, and, in consequence, every efort is made ti appeal to that mind. Bureau Supplants Former Junta. The foreign lobbies frequently take the form of information bureaus. Such countries a3 Esthonia. Latvia, Lithuania have bureaus with headquarters at Washington whence millions of words of "information" are sent broadcast to the American press showing

the development of each country, stat

ing its nationalistic aims and frequently holding up to scorn the conflicting aspirations of other peoples. The in

formation bureau is the succcessor of the old lashioned diplomatic agency or

junta which used to be in vogue here.H

There is no doubt that these bureaus

make a substantial impression through

out the country and if appears their

home governments are well justified in believing that the American press is as

important, if not more so, than the de

partment of state in connection with

American affairs.

me newspapers in the last year

have had a good deal to say about the

Chita government. It will be recalled

that the conference on the limitation

of armaments devoted no little atten

tion to this small nation, officially known as the Far Eastern Republic. Much of this attention, this world wide

publicity; arose from the efficiency of the Washington information bureau

maintained by the Chita governmen

which at psychological moments issued statements to the press or, in

other words, to that vague collective

factor in world affairs, the American

mind.

The development has gone so far that several of the old established embassies maintain on their diplomatic

staffs, highly trained newspaper cor

respondents, bometimes these are

brought from the home countries and

lave such impressive titles as Press

Vtaache. More frequently they are

kmerican journalists employed in this

uountry. It is the general opinion that the best results are obtained from the American newspaper man be

cause he Is more familiar with the

American mind and knows more ac

curately how it can best be appealed

to.

All reader of American newspapers have seen a great deal of agitation

concerning Philipipine independence This springs largely from the infor

mation bureau maintained at the ex

pense of the taxpayers of the Philip pine islands, for the sole purpose of telling Americans about the Philippines and constantly presenting arguments for indenpendence. Work of Irish ,' Nationalists. The Irish nationalists have maintained 6uch a bureau here for years ajd many observers believe that Ireland's independence- resulted In part

from the activities of this bureau In converting the American mind. Half the Latin American governments use this method of presenting themselves to the public. It has been said that when a new Minister comes to Washington from a Central or South American country his first act is to get a press agent. Sometimes these are kept in the background but frequently the press agent is flaunted as a regular part of the establishment of legation or embassy. In other words, the foreign governments not only send special ministers and ambassadors to the governments of the United States; they also send special ambassadirs, in the form ot press agents, to the American mind. Many fascinating stories of the dip lomatic battles which are fought out by these press representatives and information bureaus could be told ana back of their activities there are many incidents romantic and interesting enough to vie with the best stories of international spies. The order of things has not changed wholly and there remain some of the old fashioned and highly romantic se cret agents. It must be borne in mind that in about half of the smaller Latin American republics there is a party

of malcontents which is always seeking an opportunity to obtain power. In this country when a party is outi of office it seeks to return through the medium of the polls and the ballot box. In many of the Latin American countries the more direct method of revolution or militaristic coup is preferred. Each of these out-of-office parties knows that when the time

comes and the coup is executed the first thing to be done is to gain finan

cial support in the United States and the diplomatic recognition of the American state department. Therefore all such factions maintain juntas or secret agencies at Washington an3

some have branches in New York.

It has been said that when the pic

turesque old Arlington Hotel was trn down, the Latin American plotters

were routed and they could find no

other congenial place. The old Arling

ton was a fine rambling old hostelry

with long dark corridors, carpeted with

a Brussels covering in which a man's

treat would be unheard. It was full

of cozy nooks and corners and wind

ing pasageways. It was an ideal place

for conspiracies and clandestine po

litical meetings. When the building

was razed it was reported that th?

ghosts of a thousand plots hovered

over the site nightly until the new Ar

lington Building where the Veterans Bureau now is housed was erected.

But the secret agents did not leave

Washington. They bought gum shoes

to take the place of the silent carpet.of the old Arlington and betook them

selves to other hotels; less congenial

to be sure but endurable. In the sum

mertime. which is a gay season in

Washington, they are to be seen on the roof gardens of the city, in its many parks and motor ways and at other

places where society congregates.

The job of secret agent apparently

is a lucrative as well as diverting one

They all seem to have plenty of funds

and to live well. What they accom plish is difficult to measure doubt

less a good deal in some cases and

nothing in others but so long as

v ashington is the capital of the world

they may be expected to appear in in

creasing numbers. Washington likes them. They are ornamental and give

a cosmopolitan atmosphere which no

city, especially a capital, could afford

to despise.

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason

No. 281 A Phantom Tin A pin Is pushed into a flat cork and the latter dropped into a tumbler about two-thirds full of water, so that the pin projects downward into the liquid. The question is then asked. How can the pin be apparently placed upright on the cork so that It projects out of the water? Stand the tumbler near the edge of the table, and, placing your eyes below the table top, look up through the side of the tumbler. The surface of the water will act as a sort of. mirror, and you will see a clear image of the pin, standing up out of the water. The true pin will also be visible, but if the eyea are brought to the right position it will be concealed from view by the edge of the table, whereas the phantom pin will be plainly seen.

THE PACKAGE I know not when my leg may break, entailing anguish sharp; I know not when my back may ache, so I can't play my harp. Today I walk with

buoyant tread, I dance around the

floor; I cannot see an hour ahead, I know not what's in store. This world is full of gins and snares, our health and joy to mar; I may fall down a flight of stairs, or fail to dodge a car. A sandbag from an airship high may land upon my dome, while weeping peelers hear me cry, "Proud world, I'm going home." Tomorrow, if I'm still alive, I may be racked by pain, while skillful taxidermists strive to give relief in vain. I know not what a day may bring to this poor life of mine; so fondly to this thought I cling I have a wad in brine. If I must cease to paw my lyre and whang out helpful tunes, I will not face a famine dire, I still can buy my prunes. And if perchance the sexton plants my form beneath a tree, you will not see my wailing aunts beseeching charity. And so it is with proper pride I tell myself, at times, "Whatever trouble may betide, I have

some pickled dimes. No evil I anticipate, but if the luck should turn, I have about a hundred weight of pen

nies in the churn."

HALIDE EDIB HANOU The Joan of Arc of Turkey" Is the

title bestowed upon Halide Edib Hanoun, author, educator and soldier, who is one of the outstanding figures in

the near east crisis today. Her brilliancy, leadership and knowledge pf national affairs has caused Mustapha Kemal Pasha to include her in his councils. She is minister of education in Kemal's cabinet and hold3 the rank of sergeant in his Nationalist army. She has spent much time in front ranks of the army during the re

cent advances of the Turkish troops.

Her f jvorite picture shows her with an Arabian charger.

Her father was treasurer to Sultan

Abdul Hamid. He was a progressive

and determined to give his daughter

a "western" education. She was one

of the first Turkish girls to be enrolled

at th American college for girls at

Constantinople.

It Is said that her studies were in

terrupted often, however, as her father called her home every time the Sul

tan became suspicious regarding the girls' absence. The Sultan objected strenuously to this western "influence."

Dan Cupid attended the college too. Salih Beh, professor of mathematics

there, fell in love with the pretty Halide and after graduation in 1901 they were married. They had several chil

dren and were happy for a time. Then, according to her friends Halide ob

jected when Salih decided to bring

home a second wife. Revolting at one of the customs of her people she divorced him. When Abdul Hamid was deposed she became a leader in the new Turkish

movement and a worker for greater

freedom for the Turkish women. She

wrote frank articles regarding educa

tional and political conditions.

During the World war Djemal Pasha

placed her in charge of the Syrian schools. It was her influence which prevented Djemal taking over the Con

stantinople college when war was de

clared on Germany by the United

States.

She married Dr. Adnan Bey, Constantinople physician, in 1917. Some time after their marriage he became

vice-president of the Angora parlia ment.

Although a devout Moslem she was friendly to the British until the allies refused to interest themselves in the death of two of her friends at the

hands of Greek soldiers. She then bitterly assailed all westerners. When the Nationalist movement was begun she was sought in Stamboul for deportation but escaped with her husband by boat into Asia Minor.

Was the weather that is known as Indian summer predicted by the Indians? F. T. R.

A. The popular belief that Indian

summer was predicted by the native Indians, Snds no documentary corroboration, and the idea that the term "Indian summer" was employed byi the early settlers, seems to be a myth. J A short season of pleasant weather

in the central and Atlantic states

usually occurs in October or November, more rarely in December. It is

characterized by an almost cloudless sky, calm or light airs, a hazy atmos-

phere, and mild temperatur in the day time, being cool t night. It maylast one or two weeks and may occur two or three times during a season. As to the origin of the expression. Mr. Albert Matthews has shown that there is no record of it until 1774, when it was in general use throughout the Atlantic states. Can fish hear? E. L. R.

A. Fish have no external nor mid--dle ear but only an inner one. Var

ious experiments point to the conclu

sion that the ear in fish is merely an

organ of equilibrium.

Q. Why do mimosa leaves apen

and close? J. B. K.

A. Mimosa is a species of plant,

known as the sensitive plant, because of its motile leaves. The motility of the leaves is thought to be related to

protection against excessive loss of water and is an adjustment to dry

regions. This remarkable power en

ables the plant to control its leaf exposure according to its needs.

Q. How many stars can be seen

with naked eye and how many

with the largest telescope? W. E. B

A. The' number of stars visible to the naked eye, provided one stays at

a single place in the United States

for one year, would total 4,000. With

modern telescopes it is estimated that

100.000,000 stars are visible.

Q. What will clean a crock that

has contained preserved eggs.

A. The water glass which has been

used for this purpose may be dis

solved with vinegar and removed with

a sharp knife.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Taka It" "Up" BECOMING A PART OF THINGS -' I wake up in the morning. The air is vibrant. Its ozone rushes Into my lungs as I look out ot my open window and hear the song of the leaves. The thing that most impresses me is that this day belongs to me as much as it does to anyone else. But I must use It! Else it belongs more to the one who will. But I choose to use it, to enter into activity, to be of service in every way possible. And so I become a happy and necessary part of this new day. I pass by some green bushes. Flowers are fading from long stems that have held great beauty for many days. I am impressed and inspired and so I take the thought of this loveliness with me to my work. I pass a dog, its tai wagging good-will. And so this silent dog and this thinking human being have become a part of each other. I see a flying bird, playing children, workmen building a house. I pass a street car filled with men and women on their way to work. A newsboy hands me a paper for which I give him three cents. I pass by a beautiful stream the historic Hudson river and am inspired anew each day by its beauty, especially by its wonderful Palisades. Cars by the hundred pass me and I wonder about the thinking done by every occupant. I meditate on the great human stream that keeps flowing back and forth in every great city. It won't be very long before the baby in the carriage that I passed today will be in a position similar to mine on its way to work. And it, too, will pass what I have passed and will wonder about all this strange presentation and will have thoughts somewhat as I. It, too, will see in the parks the silent, solid stone and marble likenesses of those who have served in the world, and will be inspired to emulate their example. , It is a wonderful thing to feel that you at once become a part of things. Ulysses, in Tennyson's great poem, as he nears the edge of his life, has this to cay: "I am become a name; For always roaming with a hungry heart Much have I seen and known cities ot men And manners, climates, councils, governments. Myself not the least, but honor'd of them all, And drunk delight of battle with my peers, Far on the ringing plains of Troy. I am a part of all that I have met."
