Washington, Dee. 24 A pleasant subject for discussion at this season of peace and good will la the remarkable work of Dwight Morrow In Mexico. In the space of a few weeks Mr. Morrow has changed the entire atmosphere enveloping the. relations between that country and the United States.

The visit of Colonel Lindbergh has been an Immeasurable help, but Morrow was In Mexico first and Morrow ill remain. There are many questions still to be settled between Mexico and the United States, but with Morrow on the Job there is an assurance of friendly settlement. Some bright person has referred to the new Ambassador's methods as "ham and egg diplomacy." The expression, however Inelegant, la Intended to be a compliment. It draws attention to the speed with which Morrow established close personal relations with President Calles. A taent and an Ambassador, over Breakfast eggs and coffee, may ac- compiisn more tnan a dozen conversations between the Foreign Offices.

Morrow Friend of Lindbergh. Morrow Is frank and direct. Ha left Washington with but one idea in Ms i i -rv to see what friendship and sympathy would do instead of suspicion and latent hostility. The Lindbergh flight was nothing short of a stroke of genius. Whether Morrow inspired It or not I do not know.

In any case, he had been on somewhat intimate terms with Lindbergh ever since the latter's exploit tn crossing the Atlantic. He had advised Lindbergh what to do and what not to do. Lindbergh had come to value Morrow's sage counsel. With "otow at Mexico City flitrht was a natural development. Whoever had the first Inspiration, It mav at least be said with safety that had Morrow not been in Mexico Mndbenh "tiiM --ve flown down.

So, whether Morrow actually inspired the flight or not. It can be credited as one of his achievements in the cause of Mexican-American relations. Not the Typical Diplomat. The appointment of Morrow ns Ambassador to Mexico was one of those strokes that exhibits President Coolidge at his best. It was a personal appointment, pure and simple, without any political motive or impulse.

The two men were classmates at Amherst and had maintained contact since their graduation in 1895. Morrow had found his membership in .1. P. Morgan Co. of decreasing interest.

It had, in a sense, ceased to stimulate him. So he was available for public service. On the personal side Morrow is anything but a diplomatist of tradition. He is a srr" 'l nipi, of in -ent appearance. But you do not talk tn him lone before you notice his quick, bright eyes, his swift, almost bi-pM'' movm-nts.

He is po'ssvl ot rm-" cafo'e now of concentration which at times so enprrss him that he becomes absent-minded. He is a quick thinker hi action, a scholar and student in repose, at all times reliant upon his well-tried capacities for speedy decision.

Once Sought as Yale President, Dwight Morrow is 54 years of age, about the same age as Mr. Coolidge. He was the son of a school principal in West Virginia, where he was born. After graduation from Amherst and Columbia Law School, he began his legal career in the very conservative firm of Simpson. Thacher Bart-lett.

in New York a firm of which Thomas B. Reed, the famous Speaker of the House of Representatives, was a member. Morrow in due time became a partner In the establishment. Coming into contact with Henry P. Davison and Thomas W.

Lamont. brth of J. P. Morgan Morrow attracted their favorable attention, and thus there came about his connection with this pre-eminent American banking house. The fact that Morrow's father was a teacher may be responsible for his great interest in education.

He is a trustee of Amherst College and is Interested In greater or less degree In many other colleges, universities and foundations. But this interest is not the typical, somewhat occasional and uninformed interest of the average man of business, who is on the board of such an Institution Morrow Is often pre occupied with the larger questions of theory tnat lie oemna wacmins. eldest daughter is a teacher. The tradition runs In the family. Morrow himself "was once offered the presidency of Yale University.

Calles Likes Him. Such Is the background of the man ho. In a few short weeks, has created an immense good will for the United Slates in Mexico. A man with a large streak of idealism that has survived years or intimate con tact with finance. A man anxious toj serve.

A man more concerned with dninir the rlrrht thing, the fair tning. In Mexico than in making a record for himself. There is something pathetic in tne Immediate response of the Mexicans to the friendliness of Morrow. What ever mav have been the cause, It is known that President Calles dis liked and distrusted Morrows prcae- -essor, James R. Sheffield of New York.

The President seems to hive nken to Morrow at once. In adni tion to breakfasting together, two have traveled about Mexico In each other's company. Morrow as the President guest, in a private train. And now. to cap all Ih's oro-rer.

But the shirt-sleeve diplomat. lesplscd as he often deserves to have been, had sometimes the priceless quality of directness. This quality is Morrow's. Directness, friendliness nd sincerity are the outstanding characteristic of the man. There are many Important ques-lons remalr'ng to be settled between the United S'ates and Merlco.

American Farmer to Benefit. According to Dr. Norton, formerly professor of chemistry at the University of Cincinnati.

He insists that "Dead Sea Dotash will cost him less than half of what he paid for the German product, partly because the sun will evaporate most oi tne salts, partly because the salts will be practically free of impurities on which freight is ordinarily paid. Cheapness of production and purity will enable the farmers of the Middle West to use fertilizers more liberally than ever before." There can be no doubt that as soon as the exploitation of the Dead Sea Degtns the position of Palestine in the economic and industrial world will undergoo a profound change. Palestinians have already suggest ed that the name of the Dead Sea be changed to the Sea of Life. holding public office, it was necessary to seek vindication throueh another person and his wife.

How far the gambling fever has gained In Great Britain and the equanimity with which It seems to be regarded In the highest quarters is illustrated by recent public offerings of roulette wheels, layouts and chips. The wheels and other paraphernalia are being ad-rtised as furnished "tree" to buyers of ten shillings mortti a certain bruid of cigarettes, the makers ot the brand taking half pages the London papers to tell all about ine oargaui. Tne advertisements contain a drawing of happy family, all in evening dress, spending a quiet but diverting evening at Dome playing roulette on the outfit obtained with the cigarettes. Gamble at Fireside. Thus folk who have not gone to the dog races can stay right by the fireside and gamble, but a stranger who dropped in might be a little chary about putting his money against the bank, If the bank was held by a person long familiar with the particular wheel.

Keeping roulette wheels strictly honest, as they are at Monte carlo, is a fine art. A wheel that Is In the least out of true will favor certain numbers in the long run. How easily a cheap wheel, carelessly placed, might get out of order can be Imagined. One of the biggest coups ever made Monte Carlo was the result of observing the wheels over a long period time, keeping a record of the winning numbers, and discovering that an unnoticeable defect in the mechanism told in favor of certain groups numbers Play Numbers to Limit The observers thus gained a slight but appreciable shade and thev played it to the ilmit, with the result that they took large sums from the rooms. Like all gamblers, they lost their sense of proportion.

They bet high so continuously on the same numbers that the "house" smelled a rat. investigated the wheels, found what was wrong and charged the entire system of regulating the wheels. The extent to which dog racing has taken hold is evidenced by the fact that 800 bookmakers have applied for "pitches" on the course at the Wembley Exposition grounds, which has been laid out for winter racing two or three times a week, and for summer racing every weekday.

FRENCH "HORIZON BLUE" WILL LAST UNTIL 1923 Paris, Dec. 21 Horizon blue Isn't going to be run out of the French army by the more practical khaki roor, as was thought. There are uniforms and cloth enough of clear light blue to last at least eight years more. Khaki recently was announced as the official French army uniform color and on ArmlsMce Day only khaki clad troops were used for the "urst time at such a ceremony.

However, a stock of blue worth 400.000.000 francs is on hand and will last the army until 1935. Blue is too visible In the field and soils too easily so eventually khoki will be worn by all troops. Former Pilot to Teach Sea Law at St. Johns Dr. Lester B.

Dec. 10 The Italian Parliament, which today is nothing mors than an assembly of the "gerarrhia Fascista." or the ruling classes of the Fascist party, mill meet next month to consider and act upon a new code of the civil and criminal law.

Including a blow at race suicide The new code has been prepared by a speciaC commission under the presidency the Minister ot Justice. Signor Rocco. In a preliminary address to the commission, which has almost finished with Its work. Signor Rocco declared that the new Fascist! cole was a marvel of modern Jurisprudence and freely predicted that iti provisions would soon be adopted by many other nations. He poirted to the section dealing with offenses artalnst life and remarked thit Italy "still suffered from a sad 1 re-eml-nence in regard to crimes of violence and that blood was shed ta easily and too frequently." Heavy Punishment for Murderers.

He thought that the light punishments now applicable for this kind of crime had a good deal to do with its prevalence. A substantial increase in the severity of penalties for crimes of violence is provided in the new code. Ways and means are also provided to check the tendency of Italian Juries toward foolish leniency and sentimentality.

ON SCOTCH TOLD BY THEMSELVES Mov to Deny Sir Harry Lauder Keys of Edinburgh Because of Jest Fails. I Special to The Caole.l Aberdeen. Dee.

17 One thing about the Scots Is thai they are not on! witty but hare a of humoi and the two are not always found In the same people. The Scots never whine about their race being mallgneU by jokes, and they r.erer make themselves ridiculous by hunting for occasions to be offended In the merry of the day. On the contrary, the most famous tellers of stories about Scotch thrifi are Scots, with Sir Harry Lauder the most famous of all. Recently some aniens of Edinburgh tried tn deprive Sir Harry of the honor of being presented with the keys of the city, on the ground that his Joke tended to make the Land o' Cakes and Its denizens absurd, but they were laughed down by the real Scots, who were not eager for free publicity. Here's a jest going the rounds: "Why did the horse stop?" "He was from Aberdeen, and had his foot on a shilling." That, said Sir Alexander Roger.

The Mahdist war in the Sudan, which led to the capture of Khartoum and the death of General "Chinese" Gordon and tens of thousands of other deaths, was the most famous of such disturbances, the Mahdists having as their leader a fanatical Impostor who claimed to be a messenger direct from Mahomet.

Movements Easily Started. That such movements are most easily slarted among discontented populations is well known, whether the discontent be due to political or economic causes or to both, and that Is why the propaganda starting in the Brooklyn organization left by "Pastor" Russell is stirring resentment among loyal supporters of the British Empire. Rutherford and five of his associates in the Russellite movement wrre sentence in 1018 by Federal Judee Hsrlar.d B.

High Commissioner of Palestine, who has the authority grant the Dead Sea concession, will also have to consider the bid A a Jewish syndicate directed by M. Novomeysky, a mining engineer, and of Major T.

O. Tulloch, who claims to have directed the attention of the British Government to the economic value of the Dead Sea. In addition, it Is rumored that an eleventh-hour bid has been made by the French branch of the Rothschild ramilv, which has contributed greatly the rebuilding of Palestine as a national Jewish homeland. Unquestionably the Palestine Administration will nd It very difficult escape granting the concession to he engineer, M. Novomeysky, who 'it.

said to be backed by Zionist True, the Palestinian officials rill consider only such bidders as ould give the maximum fiscal and economic advantages to the Palestine and Transjordanian administration. They will also seek to safeguard the Interests of Great Britain in time of war. But whatever the arguments advanced by British imperialist politicians, public opinion will deem it an injupstice if the Jewish people who have been led to expect Great Britain to assist them In the establishment of their national home are not given the first opportunity to take over the Dead Sea mineral concessions. Anti-Zionists Answered. The fact that Palestine possesses neither coal nor iron has for many years been cited by anti-Zionists as a challenge to the believers In the economic future of Palestine.

"A country that produces no raw material is doomed." was the cry. Despite these pessimistic views, however, the Zionist forces continued to pour vast sums of money into Palestine. And American Jewry, leadin? all the rest, never wavered in backing the pioneer work of Jewish immigrants to Palestine. Jewish capital and Jewish labor have already established large industries there. The cement factory of Ha' fa.

the Atlith Salt Factory and the Silicate Brick Factory of Tel-Aviv are second to none in their efficiency and in the excellence of their products. Now that so great an opportunity as the recovery of the chemicals of the Dead Sea has presented itself, it would be only fair that the element most Instrumental in the phenomenal rebuilding of this land, after centuries of neglect, be given the first chance. This Is the view of prominent Zionist leaders ond of all friends of the national Jewish homeland. Little Capital Required. Another feature of the great Interest in connection with the Dead Sea concession is that comparatively little Investment would be required for the extraction of its mineral products.

Mr. Kaempffert explains the process most clearly: Nature showed the way ago. Were It not for the Jordan the Dead Sea would have been dried up by the sun reduced to an empty howl shl'-merliig with iridescent crystals.

Russell as head of the International Bible Students Association and of the other Russellite activities which have cen tered so long in Brooklyn, have aroused British observers. It is charged that 1.250,000 pamphlets have been distributed in the British Isles by the Russellite organization within the past month and that another 500.000 are on the way.

These pamphlets predict the early ap proach of the end of the world.

17 Ever since the doctrine of the sacredness of human life began to take hold with the spread ot Christianity, a stirring ethical problem has been: "Has one human the right In ethics or In law. or In both, to accelerate the death of another who is undergoing Incurable pain?" Recently a physician in England calmly annourced that he had allowed a patient to die because life could not have been prolonged more than a few hours and would have meant only that much more horrible suffering. The rase aroused a great stir, but the doctor has been exonerated by a coroner's Jury. On the other hand, Mr. Justice Horridge, In addressing the grand Jury at the Kent Assizes, distinctly laid down the law that the expediting of death was murder.

He said: "You must take it from me on my respmslblllty that In the eyes of the lnw acceleration of death is mur rrsrd Juries or petit Juries verv. verv rarelv run counter to the instruction, of the Judge, especially -r-mr -i'jwiiw.
