agreed with practical unanimity that the time has come when the attitude of the world's educational institutions toward sex hygiene should be revolutionited. They saw In the rlience of "the past on the subject a growing and real menace to the future of the race that mut te combated by a isteni of education wllho'it exaggeration or morbid Public opinion, they maintained, already has reached the point where this revolution la demanded. Ir. Charles VV. Eliot President of the congrers; Hev.

Klchard J. Ticrney. S. of Woodstock College. and other prominent delegates discussed the subject at a symposium attended by the entire congress this afternoon.

"A remarkable change In public opinion has taken place in regard to sex hygiene," Dr. Kllot said, using the term in its broadest senfe. "The policy of silence was almost universal. Medical discoveries have contributed to the shift In public opinion, which abro has been moved by the many signs of physical deterioration consequent on the rush to city life. The uiot Important question now is: What force now can be put in play against tie formidable evils which gravely threaten the very life of the race? No one force or agency can be completely relied upon.

"This aitark." he said, "must be made against the three principal causes of the present evil conditions: Klrst, lust In men; second, complete lack of moral principles In certain classes of women, and third, depravity of those who make commerce of these two. "Commercialised vice should be attacked in all Its forms by all the power of f.e law," be declared. "The ancient policies of toleration and licensed segregation and regulation must be uprooted. Segregation nowhere has been successful. Regulation I a confessed failure.

Tbe laws against undesirable marriages need to be revised." Rev. Richard J. Tlerney said his convictions were not favorable to the movement in all Its details: neither were they adverse. "Eliminate the details of sex hygiene; train eharacter; teach that purity is noble and possible; that vice is vile and carries It punishment: thai marriage Is Inviolate: that the family Is sacred. Knowledge is rot moral pomcr.

Christ, not hygiene, will cleanse the world." was his advice. other speaker before the congress were Philander P. Clayton. United States Com-mlnloner of Education; Clinton P. Mc-Cord.

SIXTEEN PAGES THURSDAY AUGUST ltl A Victory For Chiaa.

Nothing in hiBtory -with so little) ap parent preparation, or with there hay. ing been bo little reason to expect it, the change in the Chinese Government from an imperial autocracy to a republic has been recorded. It soon became evident, however, that there had been little besides the monarchy to maintain national unity; there are many provinces remote and distinct from each other, and with different dialects and very little means of communication, and they have, as a matter of fact, been long accustomed to a large degree of local government. Such be ing tbe case, it is little strange that when a new central authority was set up which had none of the traditions or inherited reverence of. the monarchy to back it, there should have been serious friction and threatening revolts.

It is all the more notable that, with such conditions prevailing, China should have at last come out victorious ia her fight against opium. It has been a long, painful struggle to save her people from the degrading drug-slavery' which has left a dark and ineffaceable 8 tain on the pages of British history. In order to win, the Chinese Government, hariassed as it has been and is, and with no recognition save from the United States, has dared to openly disregard and violate the treaties which Great Britain had imposed upon the country at the cannon's mouth. This put the British Government in a position where they had either to force opium on China by arms or give up the nefarious traffic and the immense revenue it has for years poured into the East Indian treasury. The weak nation won against the strong because the strong no longer dares to fly in the face of the world's awakened conscience and moral sense.

The movement began by the realization on the part of China after the Boxer troubles that if she was to take any place among the nations she must begin a series of reforms, chief among which was the abolition of the opium evil. Accordingly, in 1906, that able and remarkable woman, the Em tress Tsu Hsi, issued an edict ordering the entire discontinuance, by gradual diminution, of poppy cultivation after 1916. The British Government was duced to relax its treaty rights so that importation into China should come to i an endin 1918. This, however, was made dependent on tbe popty growing there being stopped, the Indian authorities insisting that if opium was to be used in China they should furnish it. The confusion which followed the deposition of the Manchus hindered the Chinese Government in carrying out its agreement, but, although smuggling and resumr.tion of the cultivation followed, the local governments had become so interested in the movement and so determined to be rid of the incubus that (jhey destroyed the product grown at home, and without any flourish of trumpets put every possible obstacle in the way of -continued importations.

At the end of last year the drug, to the value of over ISO, 000,000, had accumulated in the treaty ports. The owners and those who had loaned mopey on it used every influence to forca it on the market, and got the backing of a large section of tbe British aadJEast Indian press, but the Chinese quietly stood their ground, and as nothing short of a second opium war eduld have made thtm yield, the British were obliged to attend on their rights, or rather their wrongs, under the treaty, and bring the traffic to an end. Thus closes a shameful chapter in the dealing of a powerful civilized Christian nation with a so-called pagan one, weaker and less enlightened. Between 1778 and 190C Great Britain had forced upon China to the infinite harm and demoralization of her people over $2, 000,000,000 of opium. That China has had the strength and courage to bring this state of things to as end, and has, while still political ly weak, won a great moral victory, augurs well for her future.

Fortune Made in Iron Mines By Late Wm. H. Barnum. Natural Resources ia (lie South One of Great Developments. Holland Tells What Magnates Meant When They Said Product Practically Was Inexhaustible.

rsciAt. DisrTcii ro the enochies. New Tork. August Hi. A year or after the late William H.

Barnum retired from active politics, hs c-treer United States Senator having been ended and his service as Chairman of the National Committee having been finished, he occupied himself In a study of the iron ore resources of that part of the United States with which he was familiar. Senator 15r-num accumulated bis fortune as a manufacturer of Iron and steel products. He posscsi-cd great furnaces in the northwest comer of Connecticut. He was familiar with the inm ore resources of the upper Harlem. Valley and also of Xorthweattrn Connecticut rnd the adjacent country.

His investigation Senator Bar num In faying that lie believed that the Iron mines of upper New York and the upper Harlem Valley were Practically In-exhuustlulc. He meant by that word to convey the idea that at the rate of increase in American iron-ore production it would be many years before these mines would be exhausted. Apprehension Is Felt. The uppreheniion which George G. Wtck-ersham.

then Attorney -General, confessed that he felt when studying the question of the alleged monopoly of the production of Iron and steel products In the United States was due to the fear that either an existing or some future corporation might come into of practically all of the available Iron ores of tbe United States and thereby establish a monopoly. Thi statement haa been regarded by many persons as one of the most plausible arguments in justification of governmental action in sjp-port of the Sherman antitrust law. Tha tear has been sincere that some time in the future rapltal in abundance will he provided whereby the ownership of the great Iron mines of the United 8tat could pass into the control of a single corporation One of the expert autboiitles on iron ores and mines in the United State testified before a special tnasler. Henry Brown. In the proceedings which the Government is now prosecuting for the dissolution of tle United States Steel Corporation.

T1 expert testified that the Iron ores of the United States are practically Inexhaustible. He meant ry that precisely what Senator Barnum did when he slated that the Iron ores of the Adirondack and the upper Harlem Valley are Inexhaustible namely that production can conllnuc upon an increasing acole for many years before these mines are exhausted. Benefit Is Deri-red. The governmental agitation to prevent the formation, orcanleatlon and operation of any corporation whoe intent was to secure monopolistic control of the Iron ore of the United States has been of great educational benefit. Tt hsa irved to teach the people what the magniture of the iron ore deposit of the United States really Is.

A Government commission recently reported. that In New York State alone there probably lie beneath the surface iron mines of almost inconceivably great extent and richness. Some of them would require a great deal of surface excavation to reach. These arc in the central part of the state. The Adirondack ores, which can be con.

veniently bh'ppcd by means of Lake Cham-plalu, arc of such magnitude that It has sometimes been sals that notwithstanding the long-continued working of these mines nevertheless they have not begun to yield a tithe of their crude wealth. Among the other very great developments in the South of the natural resources that of the exploitation of a richness in Iron is among the greatest. The experts and the governmental authorities are Inclined to the opinion that even if there were exhaustion of the miner In the northern part of the United States within the next twenty-five or thirty years the iron ore resources of the South are capable of such utilization as will enable these mines to make good what ia lost in the North. It was nearly thirty years ago that the late Abram 8. Hewitt ventured to predict to a great group of iron and steel manufacturers of Great Britain that the United States was bound within a generation's time to leap ahead of Great Britain In Iron and steel production and would be enabled to do that because of the almost exhaustleas amount of Iron ore.

both of high-grade and of low quality, which lay beni-ath the soil of the United Stnts. Convenience of transportation, neighboring mines of limestone and other igredlents used in iron and steel production, together with the rapidly increasing domestic demand for iron" and steel products, would make it inevitable that the United States would achieve preeminent position among the nations of the world as a producer of iron and steel In quantities and a mtmr or iron ore. Recent statistics prove Mr. Hewitt to have been an accurate prophet Vast Waelth Is Seen. Perhaps two or three years from now the appropriate bureau at Washington will be able to make a.

report which will far surpass in magnitude of figures the story of the ipn mining Industry of the United States in 10CO a story which has recently been published. In that year nearly represented the cost of operation and development of American Iron mines, and about $40,000,000 represented payment of salaries and wages. The miners and wage earners in that year produced nearly 52,000,000 tons of crude iron ore. The statement standing by ltelf tends to prove the truth of another statement made a year or two before his death by the late Abram S. Hewitt to the -present writer.

Mr. Hewitt was of the opinion that there was a good dea! of loose talk when the tariff was under discussion about raw materials. He stated emphatically that there was really no raw materials excepting that which lay untouched beneath the surface of the soil. He spoke especially of iron ore, and he spoke as one having authority, for he was a manufacturer of iron and steel products, and also miner of iron ore almost all his active life, iron ore, he said, wag commonly used to tvpify raw material. But it-is.

That this invisible light can do a quick fading job has been shown in the case of smokeless powder. This powder deteriorates more or less and much effort Is expended to make a powder that will be as stable as poastble.

A French scientist has used the rays to force the decomposition of this powder in a few hours when ordinarily the action would take years.
