GAS FOR THE NEXT WAR. t; re.it i.ritain ha prohibited the importation of ilyeMtuffs for a perlcid of lu years. There is more in this than appears on the surface. The period net, while cnnblinp: Kngland to make h"self Iridepfndont of other countries in the pro-Jurti-jn of dyesrtuffs, will incidentally build up her whole chemical industry, for military as well as industrial purpos. Dyentuft'f nrf niad- from coal. So are ammunition and poison pas. The last is sahl to be the most important product of all in the tyes of Irltljh .-tattsmen. They assum. that pas will be the principal wt'.ipon iri ilie next war, ar.il are determined t be rvdy. It may als.-, be ol.-erved that thfe nirr.e ytatetsn.'ti are b.'vs concerned now with battleships than with airhi;v. l'uttlnp tuo ae.d two topether, we may Infer thr.t (irat Uritain. alon with the other European power.--, bpures on doinp her rnot effective t'phtlnp by droppinp poison pas bombs from the air. Th United Statrs will not be behindhand in that tHme, et least .-o far as the pas is concerned. American chemists, clunnp the late war.

Isn't the next bis war poinp to b-- a lovely affair if s;aasr.wn are bo stupid or so criminal as to permit a "next" one?

SCHOOL REPEATERS. The United States bureau of education is calling th attention of parents and educators to a class of pupils net always iurüri fitly considered. They are the children known as "repeaters." A "repeater" a chill who fails cf promotion and must do over, a second and sometime a third time, thp work of a previous term or year. The percentnpe of the..- children is higher than most people suppose. In one city of avtrape educational standlnp. for every l.OCO children, who enter school, 100 are forced to repeat the t'.rst prade. While the pprcfr.tai' prows less in the hlpher prades, it Is to be found all the way up. These children are partly r -poiiMMe for overcruwdlr.p In the t ierr.er.tary schools. Thy cfst tne public extra menry for their education. They are frequently troub';;cmo btc.iue they have lest inter-cs-In tlie studies they must take over ap iin, and they are often ..shame 1 and unhappy to a point which is bad fur thir morale and that of their r.vates. Finally they or.titute a larpe prop-ortion of ;b.e hi;drn who bae school, inadequately axiufnnod b "iin..t h Uw will Permit them tc

If parents will help their children and kep in touch with their propre, mental and moral, more children will make the grade who otherwise wouli fall. Hetter cradir.p and prouplnp of children in the schools will help, too. Home and pchoo! must cooperate to solve the problem of the repeater.

"REGULATION" FOR THE PACKERS. The bill repulatlnp the packlr.p Industry, a pasRed by the senate, looks like a practical joke on tho.-n who have been demanding such federal action. This measure was inspired by the federal trade commission, after Its Inquiry Into the practices c! meat packers had shown the existence of pravo abuses. AH originally jTepared, it would have provided a considerable amount of rfpulation. As amended before its passage, it may literally accomplish les.4 than nothinp. While creating a "livestock commission," it abolishes the authority of the federal trade commission over the packers and then leaves them to decide for themselves whether or not they shall become subject to the authority of the new commission. Thus, as matters stand, the packers are to be "regulatd" only if th'ey voluntarily accept such regulation. What the outcome will be calls for only one RUfcu. It is evident why several bitter prnatorlai opponents of federal regulation acquiesced In tho final paape of the bill. It is now up to the house to stop such an absurd piece of Jepislation. Kithcr the packlnc industry should be subjected to proper regulation bj the federal government, without any equivocation, or el-n it should be left in Its present status. i o FARMER'S CORN ACCEPTED. The offer of the American farmers to pie their corn for the starving millions In Europe and China has been accepted by the Hoover relief committee und the near east relief committee. They will Tnke ever all the grain for which they can raise transportation funds. The milling of this grain will be a serious business and an expensive one, but plans are already un ile.- way for both transportation and financing. There has been no more striking movement for redef in the history jf the world, nor one with bett r sense at the bottom of It. With all her tons of ptain wasting in her storehouses, America would b'tve be'-n a very ltishop of Itinttcn among the nations If no nvvans had been found for sending this st.rpus to the starving. Whatever further effort, ' monetary or otherwise, iv necessary upon the part of the public tc ae.sure hat thU food will get o those wliv need it should and will be made.

MALE DRESS REFORM. The long-tailed coat and hard-boiled shirt which i formerly were considered necessary adjuncts to correct evening dress for men are gradually disappearing. Tomorrow they may be numbered with "yesterday's seven thousand, years." It is reported on pood authority, that this winter in New York, well-dressed ' men, particularly the young men, wear Tuxedo coats', soft white shirts with turn-back cuffs and low roll collars to the most formal functions, rejecting with scorn the time-honored theory that when ladles are present the longtailed coat, stiff-bosomed shirt, high collar and stiffly starched cuf..; must be worn. The war which accounted for so many changes, responsible for this one. In the service these young men learned a good deal about the Joys of comfort and informality. Having pained this knowledge, they refuse to give it up. A few sticklers among the "old boys" may cling to more formal styles, but their number will decrease steadily, as it should. A world which frowns on atrocities should not countenance anything so fraupht with misery ns men's old-style evening dress. o Those who doubt that unemployment is compatible with a great industrial-revival forpet that a certain amount of ttrinp Is essential to a good head of stean. O Maybe the reason the German are still paying Wilhelm his salary is, they hope he'll forgive them for not having won the war for him. o

Ml. VI FACKINC AS A Pl'llLIC UTILITY. (Chicago Journal.) It is not generally understood, perhaps, that the bill providing for the registration, regulation ami supervision of meat packers Just passed by the United ?tntes senate Is not the bill which for many months last year was the subject of spirited controversy between the proponents and the opponents of legislation based on the principle that the meat packing industry partakes of the character of a public utility. The Mil just passed by the senate Is called the C'ronna bill. Its object is the same as that of the K( nyon-Kt ndrick bill, but the method of control i difrVnnt. It was chirped that the KenyonKendruk bill virtually made the secretary of npricuiture the aut?cratic ru'.er'of the packing business, and that its licensing features were so arbitrary and elastic ns to involve, in practice, government oper ation cf the packing Industry. Th. ilroniu bill, which superseded the measure so strenuously opposed by -the leading packers, setg up a scheme of registration (instead of licensing) for packers, while exempting from its operations I've stock men and farmers. It e.taM'shes a commission of three members to supervise and control the packing industry. It provides for penalties in case of violation by any packer of the rules Imposed by the commission, but the courts, not the commission, will determine the question of guilt and the amount of the fine. What objections there are to the bill as passed should be made clear by the debate in the houe ot representatives. The senate's discussion, unfortunately, cave the public little enlightenment. Hut It is dJrticu'.t to perceive why. In view of the existence of the Sherman antitrust act and the federal trade commission act. It should be deemed necessary to legislate specifically to prohibit the packers from maintaining monopolies. restraining commerce or engaging in unfair praotiCts. Is there not su:licient legislation already on the statute books If enforced to prevent monopoly and cnfall competition ? It may or may not be wise to treat meat packing as a public utility and subject it to special repillation. Hut some of the provisions of the (I-ronna bill require explanation and perhaps amendment.
