THE FIVE CENT CIGAR
In its consideration of tariff revision, the House ways and means committees recently traced its attention to a plan for the return of a good five cent eigher. Manufacturers representatives asked for a reduction in the duty on Sunnita wrapper tobacco. It was said that it brings back the five cent eigher to its pre-our popularity, a lower duty was necessary on imported wrappers. No wrapper, it was further pointed out is produced in this country suitable for a good quality five cent eigher.
These manufacturers' agents will probably receive the endorsement of a large number of men who are interested in an appeal to be back a good nickel cigar. The "stagie" has its place in the lives of a great many American men. A good "five center" is the supreme joy of the smoker, just as the ice cream cone is the height of delicateness to the small boy. Shopping is a corner of pleasure to a woman; she rejoices in spending most of the afternoon and a considerable portion of her husband's pocketbook by adding a new hat. Well, just give a man a good chip cigar and let him, by his own carelessness, drop the mates on the rug, and he will be content.
Let prizes be sought to the five recent "ceegers." The old-flower, the new-coner, the laborer, the business man and the insurance agent know the extent of the popularity of the good nickel cigar. Congress should give this matter serious consideration. Even the congressmen themselves should be interested—a good campaign cigar is a big asset.
MARITIME LAW
The Washington Conference on Limitation of Armaments has been conceded to be the most successful conference of the kind in the history of the world, but the second naval conference, which was called by the United States in 1923, for the purpose of applying limitations to those classes of war vessels not covered by the Washington treaty, resulted in failure. The United States, since the beginning of her history, has attempted to uphold the principle of freedom of the seas; and has been at cross purposes with Great Britain most of the time. The "doctrine of continuous voyage" instigated by the United States during the Civil War was used by Great Britain during the World war. Britain, faced with the necessity of controlling the sea and blockading the Central Powers, saw fit to interpret maritime law to suit her own purposes. The attempt to agree about armaments on the basis of such an indefinite marine law which each nation interpreted differently, caused the failure of the 1927 conference.
Provision for the summoning b, the United States, of a new conference on naval limitation in 1931, was made in the Washington treaty of 1921. It is generally agreed that any further attempts at the reduction or limitation of naval armaments, must be preceded by an understanding on cruiser construction between the two great naval powers, Great Britain and the United States. Wibh this in mind Senator Borah, immediately after the 1927 failure, proposed the calling of a special conference before the 1931
meeting, to estate the law governing neutrals and belligerents at sea in time of war. This resolution attracted little attention at the time, but expert observers believe that no understanding on cruiser construction is likely to be reached in advance of an agreement upon the rights of neutrals and belligerents at sea.
INSURANCE FOR PROFESSORS
President Angell of Yale University recently announced that a $70,000 insurance program had been arranged for the faculty administrative heads and the ethical and service staff. Prevails for the faculty are based upon a classification of positions, the minimum being $5,000 and the maximum $10,000. The premium was paid by the university for one month, after which the policy will remain in force only for those who are willing to share the cost of the pension with the university.
academic interest, and a university like Yale is in education faculty members. Kansas, among other of the larger institutions, has had such a system in operation for a year. There are very few professions or occupations outside of those of teachers, farmers and ministers that are not protected in such a way that the organization carries insurance on its members. University teachers occupy an important place in the universe because the ability, training and education necessary to fit an individual for the position is not required without years of preparation. In view of this fact, it would be a wise move to require all universities and colleges to insure their faculty members, as when a teacher becomes incapacitated for further service through illness or old age, he might be as well protected financially as though he been working for a railroad or any other organization which carries insurance for their employees.
We don't realize how bad a slush fund was until this last spell of bad weather hit the campus.

POSSIBILITIES OF NICARAGUA
CANAL
Under the resolution of Senator Edge, a survey and estimate will be made for a Nebraska canal in order to determine whether to build it or to convert the Panama canal into a sea-level canal. The project for a third flight of boats on the canal has begun to give place to one for a sea-level canal on the ground in deciding what would be necessary and that the building would about equal that of cutting the canal to sea level, while removal of leeks would save time and money to
But it is contended that the Nicaragua canal would cost no more than a sea-level canal at Panama and a New York and San Francisco 434 miles. This is equal to at least one mile of the Panama canal for each ship. $890 for each ship. This economy would be effected by 79 per cent of the ships now using the Panama canal, which are likely to or from the west coast of South America. This economy would be $8.5 million less. The Panama route and would grow as traffic increases. This saving would have a downward effect on inter-town traffic. The distance from which ships could draw traffic and would increase the mileage on which this traffic would continue.
Not only Nicaragua, but Costa Rica, Honduras and Salvador have an interest in the Nicaragua route, and canal systems there, but the canal would be necessary. The canal would late the commerce of those republics as the Panama canal has that of Panama. It would also give the United States a stable government there. In fact the United States would have a partnership in all countries except Mexico and Guatemala as far south as the border between Panama and Colombia.

Radio Fans Soon May See and Hear Their Favorite Artists by Radiovision
Washington, Feb. 6. Radioisotope will soon be on the niir every night for a large share of the country. A broadcasting station for radioimmens and television with power of five kiliwatts will be in operation a few miles outside of Washington by the Jenkins Laboratories, of this city. As the station will operate on a short wave, it is expected that it will have a much greater range than an ordinary broadcasting station of equivalent power. Just what wave length will be used has not yet been determined, as our commission has not yet announced the wave bands that will be assigned, though it would be worth noting that 100 kilobytes for this purpose. With a 100-kilobyte hand radio authorities are agreed that satisfactory detail can be transmitted.

For conversation is a host art in America. We have a nation so full of self-expression that all able to converse like kings, is a paraphrase of Stevenson. But either our kings are boats, or we cannot produce the things we love; production is consumed in sweet things, returns courtesies, chatter and laughter. It really produces very little actual conversation intelligent, stimulating pleasant discussion directed on ideas.

Pending the completion of the new station and the granting of a license by the commission, the jenkins laboratories have been a week from their present station, W3XK. This is done on two hands, one of 187 men, primarily for the support of the network of meters, which is heard throughout the eastern part of the country. Through using only 250 watts of power, the station can operate vigorously in Ohio and Indiana.
Amateurs Control Advance
Present-day radiovision broadcasts only fairly portray the future polarities, thinks C. Frankie Jenkins.
"Perfect?", he says. "No, and the receiver looks no more like the outfit of a boating club or lumberyard horsecarriage of 20 years looked like the eight-cylinder time machine."
"But the tea thousand pioneering annotate we are mighty entertaining with our picture broadens, and the radio pictures engineers of tomorrow will be able to experience which will be of great value in the art later on.
"After the day's work is done those youngsters rush home, help a hirered dinner, and then race away to soo. You're in on our initiatives broadcasts.
"Exactly the same thrill, which came to them with their first crystal air and handphone, now comes again out of the air; they are pressed out of the air; pictures radiated into invisible space, from miles and miles away, and put together by their hands."
"Many of these amateurs have attained such quality of picture that they have moved their apparatus into the stage. They may join in the fun. The pictures they see are black and white, conducive to a better performance in the theater, and just as interesting."
See Pictures at Home Even Now
"incidentally, it is rather a surprise to those who see these situations and find them so entertaining; but the explanation is that in movies the court is told in the action, and halfway through the action an enjoyment of them. The public is not usually critical, of first offers, so in any new thing the movie alone chooses."
"From many letters we get, apparently the greatest anxiety of our audience, is that we will eventually get tired and stop broadcasting.
Building Station at Washington
"On the contrary we are putting an powerful station a few miles outside of Washington to make their picture reception easier, and the pictures better; and each broadcast from Washington at least one picture story.
"We are broadcasting in ideas and white only at present, in order that they be understood," he added. "The picture transmission may way within the legally permissible width of car-

As Others See It
The world is gradually coming to accept the American position on drug control . . . The only effective way to limit the illegal drug traffic is to train medical personnel to grow only enough to meet legitimate medical and scientific needs and then organize this stipulated supply by control of drug factories. This plan is now before the League committee on dangerous drugs.
TO CONTROL DRUG SUPPLIES
Triticum countries are represented in the Opium Committee now meeting in Germany. They are勉强 divided into two groups: drug-drug manufacturers are on one side and the drug importing and distributors are on the other. The United States admits officially
The United States admits officially that we have 100,000 drug adductions that purchasing power is inimical to our operations. The drug ring unearthed in connection with the Rothstein case and the seizure of $1,000,000 worth of drugs in a single shipment indicate the scale on which this illegal operation was conducted.
We control our own drug makers. Our exports of manufactured cocaine or morphine are negligible. But we want them to be grown in a dumbed ground for the extra production in foreign countries. That is why we lend our difference to the sports team, which represents the League. Selfish interest opposes that plan. Yet it is the only practical method of control. In time the moral opinion of the world will come out.

The legislature made a good start in desilining to include in the appropriation bill provision for an increase in the number of attachments. The senate made the increases, announcing the house bill so as to provide for them. The house bill approved the increase in the bills, the bill was, by the conference committee, restored to its original form. Both branches of the legislature so there will be no increase. The senate, of course may, if it shall so choose, by resolution raise the pay of its own staff.
