Tennesseans native to the heath, as those now in other climes, Well as touch of personal loss in will feel a tragic death of Lieut. Nathan the late of the United States navy, Green, whose body was found along the of Spanish Bight at San dreary shores: Diego, Sunday. the only son of Lieut. Green was Green, chief justice of the Grafton supreme court. He made Tennessee mark at Annapolis, and, a splendid though young, he had already Won distinction in the navy.
death of Lieut. Green breaks The that for a hundred years has a chain and the fame of his linked the name with the history and the trafamily ditions of Tennessee. His great grandfather, Nathan Green, was lawyer in the days of distinguished and Overton and Grundy. In Jackson when the chancery courts in 1827, Tennessee were laid out, the Legischose Nathan Green to be chanfature of East Tennessee. That discellor included all the territory from trict Nashville to the mountains.
The learning and ability he brought to equity jurisprudence, put him 1 in for the supreme court, and in line 1831 he became a justice. He continued under the constitution of 1834 and for 20 years adorned the highest court of Tennessee. Scores of lawyers throughout the south recall with, delight and satisthe splendid attainments of faction the second Nathan Green. his son, After his service in the Confederate he became tutor In the law army, of Cumberland University and school 50 years taught and worked at for Cumberland. He died a few years ago, 90, full of years, full of honpast ors.
The distinguished talents of the elder Greens were inherited by the third of the line, the present chief justice. We do not know. whether Lieut. Green would ever have tired of the navy and sought honors in the profession of his father, his grandfather and his great grandfather, so splendidly graced. If so, no doubt, he, too, would have reaped the honors that the name seems to inherit.
The chain is broken. Tennessee could little: afford to spare one of the line. Not a Forum for Chronic Kickers. We had cherished the thought that the retirement of Rear Admiral Willam S. Sims would have been an end to his persistent mouthings and complainings over conditions in the American navy.
But the hearing in the courtmartial Col. William Mitchell was too attractive an opportunity for the admiral to resist. Once again he comes to the fore to tell the country how much he knows about naval matters and how little almost every one else in the Navy Department knows. He mentioned the names of 13 admirals comprising the navy general board and branded them as being uneducated because they had never attended the naval war college at Newport. He did grant something of naval literacy to a few in the Navy ment.
Of course none can approach to the omniscience in all naval matters of Admiral Sims himself. That was never to be even thought of. The admiral must always stand untouched in his own estimation. And it may be all right for Col. Mitchell to bring in all the supportling evidence he can procure.
He has the sympathy of the people in his fight for more adequate air defense of the nation regardless of what they might think of the methods he has adopted. But Col. Mitchell will not advance his cause by parading all the chronic malcontents and permitting them to exhibit their festering sore toes. He should not allow his defense to become forum for chronte kickers. Another Victory for Wireless.
A few hours out of New York the Clyde Line steamer Lenape, bound for Florida, caught fire. Efforts of the crew to stamp out the flames proving futile the passengers were awakened and instructed to put on their life belts. Then the wireless operator got busy. His messages were picked up by steamers within a wide radius who volunteered assistance. Those afar off were told that they need not trouble 35 their aid might be too late.
The master of the vessel headed her for the Delaware capes and his urgent need was for a pilot to steer the vessel through the dangerous shoals and land her on the beach. The wireless calls were received ashore and a pilot boat carrying a pilot well acquainted with the character of the surrounding coast sent out. He took charge of the boat and guided it to a point where it could be beached and the passengers and crew taken off. By the time the nearest point to the shore was reached the ill fated vessel was aflame almost from stem to stern. There were aboard some 350 persons including passengers and crew and all but one was rescued alive, One man in the excitement of the moment jumped overboard and was drowned.
Several others sustained minor injuries in being rescued, but none was seriously huri. The press accounts mention some stories of panic and such like, but the mere fact that only one life was lost out of 350 who were threatened either with drowning or cremation is the answer in itself to the conduct of crew and passengers. And once more must the wireless be credited with a great victory in the humanitarian work saving human life. Had it not been for the summoning of a pilot, the flaming vessel might have been run upon some shoal a considerable distance at sea and the entrapped passengers would have faced the terrible alternative of being burned to death or being drowned. We read of wireless waves being used to direct engines of destruction that are capable of slaughtering human beings by the and yet the same waves are involved every now and then to bring succor to humans and to save human life.
All things are intended for the good of humanity and it is only humans themselves who bring evil by the use to which they put both the bounties of nature and the creations of their own hands. War Chivalry Not Dead. Less than 10 years ago the greater part of the civilized world was denouncing the German invaders of Belgium and France as a horde of bloodthirsty Huns, The burning of Louvain, the execution of Edith Cavell, the use of poison gas, the Lusitania outrage and a lot of other things were held up to neutral nations as being the expression of the barbaric heart of the Teutonic people. By the manner in which the German military leaders and soldiers were presented to the gaze of humanity Attila and Genghis Khan must have appeared as angels of mercy. Propagandists presented the Teutons as being more cruel, heartless and barbaric than the cannibals in unexplored sections of.
the world. Naturally wars are fed on hatred. but the World War must have surfeited upon racial bitterness. The world now knows that Germany did do some things in the stress of anger and desperation that could not be sanctioned by humane considerations. But civilized men also know now that a great deal of what was said about atrocities was inspired by the bitIterness that war always arouses, The few years that have passed since the world conflict closed have allowed the German people to -establish the fact that they are the possessors of many admirable and rugged virtues.
It would have been considered almost treason 10 years ago for any citizen of any of the allied countries to assert that any soldier, sailor, aviator or marine of the German fighting force possessed the slightest element of humanity let alone chivalry. But now we find France turning over to Germany the body of a German nobleman, Baron von Richthofen, the aviator, and conferring honors upon the former enemy as great as that given to any French hero. We are informed by the recent enemies of Richthofen that he every mark of chivalry. He was a foe that was feared, but never despised. Despite the fact that he vanquished 80 allied adversaries it was never charged against him that he did a single thing not sanctioned by the highest demands of chivalry.
He never took an unfair advantage of an antagonist. More than that, he had the wings of his plane painted red so that he could be identified by any allied aviator who cared to engage him in mortal combat above the clouds. Eighty intrepid allied fliers ventured forth to down Richthofen and did not return. But he met his fate while chasing an enemy aviator over the latter's lines. He flew too low and was shot dead in his seat.
Full military honors were conferred upon him at his funeral. His grave was marked and carefully looked after. And now, on the request of Germany, his body is returned to his own people where more honors will be tendered his memory. No event since the armistice, not even the signing of the Locarno security pacts, indicates so clearly the passing of the passions and hatreds that the great struggle provoked. We are furnished with the proof that civilization did not divest itself of all its qualities despite the fight for its existence it was compelled to wage during the long and trying years of 1914 and 1918.
The clouds are rolling away and it will not be long before the whole story of the colossal conflict is told. Day By Day With Gov. Patterson thousts he has received and for the numerous deaths he has suffered. Some approve his banishment while others would like to recall him from exile. Old John remains the most talked of man in the world today.
the starting point for speech, the inspiration of writing men, the constant bother of government, the wonder of the ages. The only thing that will ever really kill old John. and cause his total oblivion is neglect. Neglect to talk about him, to think about him, and above all neglect to drink him. The latter.
is a soverign remedy in itself. Nothing else is really needed for a death in which there will be no resurrection. Nobody would ever think of making his image if there not idolators to worship it. Without personal attention old John's occupation would be gone forever. When we go out seeking him he can generally be found in one or another of his forms, It's a wise man and especially the wise boy who walks the other from where he may be lurking shadows.
The whole contest is one of desire and control. When people control themselves there is no longer any Old John was never known in his and bloody life to bother anybody, who he let is him sought alone. he can be found and when made a companion he may prove a friendly one or a devil without remorse rejoicing in evil. It's better not to seek him. This is safety.
We can all of us at other banquet boards that life spreads out before us have a good time without his presence, and without the mental and moral tortures that so often follow his fellow- I attended the lawyers banquet given at the Peabody Hotel Tuesday night. The attendance was large. The speeches were excellent-the occasion was a success. Everybody was pleased. The whole programme ran on water as the motive power with a little coffee at the end of the dinner.
If any lawyer or judge received encouragement or enthusiasm from any other sources he kept his secret carefully concealed. Old John who used to attend banquets of this sort a matter of course and in the exercise of an ancient privilege was asleep somewhere in the outer darkness and never even sought admittance. What the old sinner may have thought of it all: what flitting pictures of ancient glory and old associations may have passed through his brain none of us but it must have been a bitter reflec tion to realize that day of usefulness over, that his company was no longer desirable or necessary--that fun could be had. that bright things could be said, that general good time was possible without his assistance. Yet there was no hostility in evidence among the speakers--there was no bitterness or resentment expressed against old John for the wrongs he had done.
The fine Latin rule which requires us to speak nothing but good of the dead was rigidly respected. Indeed those who mentioned his name at the banquet dealt in only friendly reminiscences olde John genial always smiles only approached his devotees were remembered-the frowns, the storming and the frenzied features which were assumed as the association became more intimate were all forgotten. I don't think that any other criminal las ever had as many legal deaths and still survived as this same bv turn old agreeable and diabolical creature, who began his career by beguiling Noah and laid him low in his disgraceful nakedness before his own sons, until walking backward with a mantle to avoid the sight they covered him up and left him to sleep away the spell and awaken in reThe law; have killed John, the Conmorse. stitution of the United States has done the same thing, he has been consigned to innumerable graves, funeral sermons by the thousands have been preached over his remains but he still in some way persists. He In assume as many different forms as Prateus appearing when least expected and refusing to die though dead.
His memory, if it is all a memory, is more often recalled than even the name of Washington. Even those who never knew him when he had the right to live speak of him familiarly. All classes do this. Lawyers and doctors, editors and merchants, bricklayers and carpenters, saints and sinners, Jews and Gentiles -black and white. Why, I don't know.
I only know they do. Some speak in praise, some in condemnation. Some in sorrow. some in joy for all the hard licks and mortal thousts he has received and for the ship. INSPECTS MILITIA.

Southern Methodists Deny Responsibility for Ukase on Al Smith NEW YORK, Nov. James Cannon, chairman of the commission on temperate and social service of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, tonight issued a statement pointing out that his commission had no connection with board of temperance, prohibition public of the Methodist Episcopal OChurch, which recently attacked the proposed candidacy of Gov. Smith of New York for the presidency. "From editorial statements In the secular press and from letters and telegrams which have come to me," he said, "it is evident that there is a failure on the part of many persons to discriminate between the commission of the Southern Church and the board of the Northern branch." Bishop Cannon, however, criticized Gov. Smith for his stand against prohibition.
He declared it was unthinkable that a southern Democrat approving the national prohibition law could support Gov. Smith for president. "The breakdown in law enforcement in New York is directly attributable to the opposition of Gov. Smith to the prohibition law," he said. MAY FIDDLE FOR FORD.

The sweeping of class rooms and study halls while occupied should not be permitted. Ceanling during school hours of unused portions of the building should be in such a manner as to raise a minimum amount of dust. The principals might see that all teachers have a thorough understanding of the heating and ventilating devices in their rooms and see that they are properly operated.
They should see that their respective buildings are properly heated by 8:15 on Monday mornings and the mornings during extreme cold periods. Some of our buildings in the past have been too cold at such times. heating and dry air is probably a greater cause of colds. A temperature around 66 to 68 degrees with a relative humidity of 40 to 50 is a healthful and comfortable atmosphere. A humidity of 20 to 30 calls for a temperature of from 70 to 74 for comfort, but is harmful.
The common pencil and pen-holders are about as dangerous as the common drinking cup. which no one would now use, and they should not be permitted. Clean hands are a very desirable condition, and proper attention to this would save much sickness. Dr. Mitchell.
when making a survey for the child health organization, marveled at the washing facilities at the Gary schools, pronouncing them the best he had found. He thought they were extensively used. There would be still greater use made of them if some principals would see that an adequate supply of towels was provided. All children should be taught the necessity of a clean handkerchiefcloth or paper -and the proper use of it. If the nose and mouth were covered and the spray collected during such acts as sneezing, it would help us to remain well.
Little protection is afforded by placing the bare hand to the mouth, collectinEn thna spray from the nose then distributing it around on desks, books, door-knobs, banisters, and from person to person in games, etc. Wet shoes and stockings are causes that perplex us all-what to do with those coming from home in wet weather. Permitting pupils to play in the rain not properly clothed, or on wet playgrounds is another problem, SOME THINGS WE CAN DO. and those responsible for the care of the children at such times should be held to strict accountability. Getting the shoes, stockings and feet wet is not a danger if the shoes and stockings are removed, the feet dried and dry shoes and stockings put on.
Those in charge of the showers and pools should see that the bathers understand and practice thorough drying of the body and hair, and a brisk rub before dressing, and that the water in pools, the towels, dressings rooms. shrowers, are properly cared for. Patronize eating and refreshment places that are clean and that have thoroughly clean dishes, preferably sterilized. The above are the recommendations of Dr. colds.
O. B. The Nesbit people for the repression the advised are parents, the teachers and the school heads of Gary, Ind. Dr. Nesbit makes one other recommendation.
It is that schools continued in the summer and that all public exercises held in thos- seasons in which colds do not prevail. VACCINATION ON LEG. H. M. V.
writes: 1. Kindly let me know if a vaccination on the leg answers the same purpose as one on the arm, and it it is as good there as on the arm. 2. What does it mean when the vaccination "does not take" the first time, but does the second? Reply--1. There is no objection to vaccinating on the leg, except the slightly increased danger of infection.
It is not so easy to keep a leg vaccination clean. 2. The vaccine used in the first attempt had lost its strength. FOOD VALUE OF MILK. X.

Wreck of Jeanette Caused Amundsen's Polar Flights SEATTLE, Nov. navigators returning here from their summer incursions into the north by way of Bering Strait recall that the wreck of the Jeanette originated the inspiration for the latest attempt of Captain Roald Amundsen to float a vessel across, or near the North Pole. ington de Long, U. S. Jeanette Commanded by St.
WashGeorge, moved into the Arctic through Bering Strait in 1879, and after passing Wrangell Island was locked in ice. She crumpled and sank June 13,1881, after 22 months in the pack. Part of her crew perished in struggling over the ice to the mouth of the Lena River, in Siberia, and died in trying to find human habitation. One of the survivors was Chief Engineer George W. Melville, who later became an admiral.
Three years after the crumpling, casks from the Jeanette were found on the coast of Greenland, giving evidence they had passed across the Arctic Ocean, Amundsen's first drifting exploit was in the Gjoa to make the Westward passage of the Arctic above North America, He completed the voyage in 1906. Next, in the Fram, he went to the other end of the earth, discovering the south pole, December 16, 1911. The explorer again started for the north in 1922, this time in the Maud, propelled by crude oil and sails. While away, he made two attempts to reach the pole by air. In the summer of 1923, a plane, which he had carried with him wrecked its landing gear in trying to rise at Wainwright.
On May 21, 1925, Amundsen and five others hopped off in two planes from the Spitzbergen Islands to fly over the pole. The six returned June 18 in one of the planes, the other having been wrecked 150 miles from the pole. Amundsen, now 53, is preparing reach the north pole in a dirigible. BUSY MAN'S CORNER.
