CHIMNEYS exit Two uowspaper items about ehim neys caught my eyo the other day The Duk-i of Windsor, who was King of England for a while, eiftertaineci the ehimnoy sweeps of Kb res f eld Austria, the boys who climb up (oi down) ebimneys to clesn them. Am! chemical ' ngineers meeting in New Voile discussed a new way of ''scrub bing" chimney smoke, to recover sul phur and remove poisonous gasses. All of which reminded lao that chimneys nre quite a uew invention in the long history of the human race It was not until about the time that Gutenberg invented printing, not long before Columbus discovered America, that peopte began to build floes to oarry olf the smoke frfti* their,fires. Before then, a hole in the rochf answer ed the purpose, ad it does still witi the Eskuuoa and the Siborian peas ants. Maybe chimneys will become ubso lete again, when we do ull our cook ing aud boating by electricity. WI1CDOW3 .ri .... taxed Thinking of chimneys made io? think of windows. People put wiu dows in their houses long before they had ehimnoys, but it is only very recently that ordinary folks have had glass in their windows. Gloss was for the rich. Poor folk used skins scraped down thin enough to let some light through, or oiled paper, after paper begnft to be made. Windows, with or without glass, were long regarded as luxuries and taxed as such. They still are in France. A large part of the revenue of the French government comes from the tax on doors and windows. That is one reason why the cottages oi French peasants are so badly veatilat od. England abolished the window tax in 1851, but some American state? still levied it up to a very few years ago, as the windowless barns I havt often seen in Connecticut testify. DISTRIBUTION If you want to make a fortune, re vise some sare-fire way of distributing merchandise to consumers more econ omically titan anyone is doing it now. I am not joking when I, say there arc millions to be mado by anyono who ;an do that, for millions upon mil lions havo been made by those who (cvised tne most efficient distribution 'ystems now in nse. Chain stores, mail order houses, advertising of every kind, are all arts of tho most efficient distribution iystm system now in use.in the cmw /ystem yet evolved. Nowhere else in the world are all kiftds of goods so readily and so cheaply obained by everybody as in America. Prom 40 to 80 percent of what the retail customer pays for most low priced goods represents the cost of retting the article into the consumer's hands. Nobody .makes much roflt anywhere along the line, but everybody who helpB to pass any article on toward the buyer has to be paid out of the fital price. Find way to cut i' that coet, young man, i?nd the world will reward you with ulliona.

The new Congress started off under a lull bead ol iteam by enacting a resolution plug ging a hole in the neutrality act . of laei year. There was nothing, in the law to prevent any American Iron selling war supplies to either party iat a civil war such as is now going oa iu bpain. The State Department had been compelled to grant licenses for lb* export ol several million dollars worth of second hand airplanes and ?ginrn which were sold to the spaniah rebels by a Brooklyn dealer Who had nought them at u United-States army i bene munitions bad already been oa a ship when Congress con The effort of the new Congress was to r ush the new law through in t &M t? prevent lhe ship from sailing. * 'fowever, it is now the law that here no American may supply arms ft* anybody taking part in a civil war ?aywhers in tne world. TLsro is a distinct ieeUng in Was JUg'on that ^he State Department- is ?bout the Euorpean war 'out Jo-jk. Signs are numerous that a laigs scale international conflict is brewing in Spain. This- country may not get involved though there is al- a ways that danger, but just in case, Jic President hna ordered work to b? h<-jgun, immediately, on the construc tion of the two biggest battleships tfcat we have ever built. They will ci>et about $100,000,000 and will tako .iboat three yean to build. While there is talk on every hand shout a constitut:onal amendment giv g Congress authority to legislate on abor relations, there is not an immsd . likelihood that such a resolution 'mil be adopted this year. Congress was considerably impressed by the ? sident's reminder that the Consti tution already has sufficient breadth t? permit government to meet twenti eth century social and economic prob in a progressive way, and that all that is needed i9 u enlightened in t<r pretation." That is, in effect, what some of tba iiM-mbers of the Supreme Court have lalso said in the the the past four years. The latest Supreme Court decisions have given much satisfaction to the more liberal minded. The Court's reaffirmation of the n^ht of peaceaHe assembly resulted in setting free a man who had been arrested two years ago in Oregon. fjirk d.'.Tonre attended a meeting of the Communist Party. There was no evidence th?*t anything treasonable van said or done at that meeting, but mi the theory that nay Communist meeting must be crimin.nl the Oregon police arretted CeJonge?and the Su preme Court if the Uaitcd States in aft unanimous opinion set him free. In another decision the Suprena CT?urt ruled that .when sny slate adopts a Is w forbidding the importa ion of orison-made goods, it becomes a federal offense to ship such goods 4nto t-hhl state. This decision has been held by some commentators to Make it nnneeoessary to continue the effort to l-atify the pending const i tu tfawl amendment forbidding the in terstate shipmen' of goods prodmu d !?r the labor of children. ... - ? . 4 Nevertheless, President Roosevelt has issued a strong appeal to the legis Insures of all of fhe states which have |*ut ratrffcd the child labor arm n-1 neut, urr?nt? them to act upon it stjieodily. Twenty forr ststes have already ratified the amendment but twelve i iore m ist do so before it becomes a part of the federal constitution. Form or Pr^sid^at Hoover has joined in the appeal, declaring that President Roosevelt is entirely right. Tbe amendment w as first submitted 'o Jhe statee in President Coolidge's administration after the Supremo t'r art had ruled lhat Congress hsd no power to prohib't the shipment of products if child-labor in inter-stats i ?ne of th.? first big-jobs whieh Con gress is trying to get out of the way is the continuation and extension of come of the emergency legislation wlijrh expires by a limitation in the emirae of the nevt few weeks.
