Mebbe one of the reasosn for the
mounting cost of government is that
the people are more difficult to gov
ern than formerly.

Policemen who defend the use of
the third degree naturally stress the
fact that gangsters show no senti
mental forbearance when they get an
officer of the law cornered. The
third degree, ruthless as it seems, at
least gives its victim a chance to get
off with his life.

Nine men. under instruction of
W. Harold Lane, prohibition expert,
studied crime detection yesterday
"with booze as their textbook," ac
cording to the headline. And no
doubt the lessons they learned will
soon be causing certain gents here
abouts to turn over a new leaf.

Radio courtesy is a new invention
that is getting a good deal of moral
support, and. we doubt not, will
thrive until it, like road courtesy and
other kinds, fades away into mythol
ogy. Radio courtesy is so fine, so
beautiful, so benefieient from every
viewpoint that it's too good to be
true, and it consists merely of tun
ing your loud speaker down, along
about 10 o'clock at night, so your
neighbors can go to sleep.
How to train BABY'S
BOWELS
Babies, bottle-fed or breast-fed, with
any tendency to be constipated, would
thrive if they received daily, half a
teaspoonful of this old family doctor's
prescription for the bowels.
That is one sure way to train tiny
bowels to healthy regularity. To avoid
the fretfulness. vomiting, crying, failure
to gain, and other ills of constipated
babies.
Dr. Caldwells' Svrup Pepsin is cocx
for any baby. For this, you nave the word
of a famous doctor. Forty seven years of
practice taught him just what babies
need to keep their little bowels active,
regular; keep little bodies plump and
healthy. For Dr. Caldwell specialized
in the treatment of women and little
ones. He attended over ;." X births with
out loss of one mother or baby.

The Protestant denominations.
Congregational and Christian, have

A man who speaks 17 different
languages was married the other day
to a woman who speaks 12 languages.
It's a pretty safe bet that the 12
languages will get the better play.

Well, there's one thing about next

A Missouri manufacturer of men's
pant.- reports business better than

seems to apply mainly to the pants
business.

Qne feature of the airwavs that
jis preferable to the roadways is that
the air drivers find it unnecessary
to pass up hitch hikers who are over
working their thumbs in an effort to

They've raided a two-million-dollar
brewery in New York, which
proves, of course, that prohibition
doesn't prohibit. And if they hadn't
raided it, 'twould prove the same
thing, y'understand.
:o:
Another reason we yearn for the
end of the depression is that we're
becoming pretty well fed up on that
joke about the fellow who asked for
an increase in salary and was threat
ened with being taken in as a part
ner. :o:
A well-matured lady school teach
er down in Texas, fell in love with
ne of her pupils, a 19-year-old lad
won much renown as an athlete.
The- school board told the teacher
-he would have to give up the boy
or give up her job. She gave up
her job. Yeah, education is the hope
of the world.
:o:
Yale has dropped Latin, we un
derstand, in order to devote more at
tention to the advancement of Eng
lish. And not a moment too soon,
either. From Rudy Vallee's probably
immortal romance, we read: "We
were both dancing with someone
else." With tears, no doubt, in five
cut of our six eyes.

"There are several grievous errors
in your remarks (if last Monday," T.
H. hastens to point out. "Daniel
Webster did not say he would rath
er be right than President that was
Al Smith. And when Stephen Grid
ley said, 'You may fire when ready.'
the remark was addressed to Captain
Flagg not Bragg who countered
with a snappy 'Sez you!' But who
can tell what Calvin Coolidge said?"
:o:
It's going to be interesting to
watch Buddy Rogers's attempt to
scale the heights of night club popu
laryit in New York. Our hunc'i is,
however, that he's too smart to en
ter into direct competition with
Rudy Yallee. We believe he will de
velop his career along other lines.
Ruddy has given only slight evi
dence of that peculiar doughy ual
ity of mind that insures succc 1 as
a world-beating crooner, and it is
unthinkable that he should att mpt
to dislodge anyone so admitted! . his
superior in that attribute a Mr.
Yallee.
:c:
MAKING THE FARM PAY
That "co-operation pays." is evi
denced by The fact that the Dairy-
men's League Co-operative Associa-1
tion of New l ork State handled a
bigger percentage of its supply and
surplus products for its farmer mem
bers luring the past April than for
any April since 1923. While the
dairy outlook May first was not
zright. nevertheless dairy and poul
try farmers are in a better economic
position than other farm industries.
On April 15 dairy products were 27
j points below prices of a year ago,
. fruits and vegetables 67. cotton 42,
i meat animals 40 and grain 36 points.
It looks as if scientific eb-oper-jation
ddi pay in the dairy industry.
LONG TERM CREDIT
About a decade ago the automo
bile industry was in a bad way. The
market was dwindling. No one was
buying. Everyone who could afford
to buy an auto had one. and the mil
lions of people who wanted cars had
neither cash nor credit to buy them.
The auto makers, thereupon, went
out and turned these millions into
automobile buyers by adopting a
courageous new system o f long-term
credit. Depression left the industry,
to return only when boom times led
the manufacturers to oversell even
this new and enlarged market.
In the current issue of the Maga
zine of Wall Street. Charles Bene
dict proposes that American produc
ers of raw materials take a leaf from
the auto industry's book and create
n-v markets for themselves not at
home, this time, but overseas.
He makes a good case for his pro
posal. Poland, for example, needs raw
cotton badly but lacks the credit with
which to buy it; why, he asks, should
not an American cotton growers' co
operative group propose to deliver to
Polanu a year's supply of cotton at
the current market price, under
terms by which payment could be
made in one to 10 or even 20 years.
What is true of Poland is true of
China. Mr. Benedict predicts that
this action would boost cotton prices,
open new markets, and bring pros
perity back to the cotton growers.
The same thing, he adds, could be
done with other raw materials such
wheat, copper, and corn. In the
end he believes that the risks inher
ent in such a process would be over
come and the way back to world pros
perity would be found.
The whole program seems sound.
The most striking thing about the
present depression is that it is caus
ed, not by scarcity, but by surpluses.
There exist plenty of potential cus
tomers for the surplus goods of the
earth. The one great problem is to
make it possible for them to buy.

PROPHECY IN A PLAGUE?
When old Pharoah got stiff neck
ed and bull headed back in ancient
times, the Lord, according to the
Book ot Ejodus. visited a series of
plagues upon the people of Egypt.
First, or nearly first, there was
a plague or stagnant water. 1 nen
came frogs, lice and fleas, boils, hail
storms, hoof and mouth disease, hali
tosis and a few other things, but
the natives being sturdy folk, held
up bravely until the locusts, which
are sort of first cousins to the grass
hoppers, came along.
The biblical story is sadly lack
ing in detail, but one gets the im
pression that was when the people
quit voting the republican ticket and
elected a democrat. That was one of
the new instances in history where
the Lord was on the side of the
democrats.
Students of the Bible have always
felt a deep and abiding sympathy for
the Egyptians at that time, because
it had all the appearances of a
tough break for them. Still, the Lord
knows best at least that is what
the world has been taught and it
probably was worth all the suffer
ing they endured to get rid of old
1'haroah.
This year a plague of grasshop
pers has descended upon parts of
S"Uth Dakota. Nebraska and other
itr.tes. destroying the substance of
well meaning citizens whose only
offense ha3 been in raising too big
farm crops and voting the republi
can ticket.
On the face of things this does
not look much like the Lord's work,
but there is the precedent of Egypt.
"The Lord moves in mystrious ways
His wonders to perform." The hop
per plague may be a prophecy of
forthcoming political events. Sioux
City Tribune.
WHEN MACHINERY FAILS
The devices of a mechanical age
have checkmated some of nature's
tcrnest threats, but mankind occa-
s ion ally gets a reminder that the'th-it the slump in the price of silver
forces of nature are not to be trifled
with. even in an era of perfected
machinery.
The disaster that befell th. auto
mobile party in the Mexican lesei t
the other day is a case in point.
Here were seven people, starting
out to cross a barren desert in an
automobile. The crossing had been
made many times before without
trouble, and a trip that was an in
vitation to death a few years ago had
become commonplace.
But the auto broke down in the
middle of the desert. 250 miles from
the nearest habitation. Four of the
party died and two went mad.
Machinery had robbed the desert
of its terrors, but when the ma
chinery developed a flaw, the desert
proved just as hostile and dangerous
as ever.

FALLING FOR HUMBUGS
One thing that does not always
get the attention it deserves is the
average man's unquenshable desire
to believe in something that he
knows to be impossible.
A short time ago right in the
middle of a spell of extremely hot
weather, as it happened people who
live along the shore of Lake Erie
near Sandusky, O., got all excited
about a sea serpent which was sup
posed to be cavorting about in the
neighborhood.
First one man reported seeing it,
then another. From all accounts it
was a veritable monster long,
scaly, horrendous, doing everything
that traditional sea serpents do ex
cept breathe out fire and brimstone.
For about a week these tales kept
bobbing up. People laughed, Of
course but they enjoyed them, just
the same. For no matter how sen
sible we try to be, we always get a
secret kick out of letting a part of
cur minds believe in something we
know isn't so.
Then, finally came the climax.
Two men went out in a boat and
came back with a veritable serpent.
an lS-foot python, alive and authen
tic. They had captured it in the
water, they said, stunning it with
their oars before hauling it aboard.
Here was proof enough to satisfy
anyone. Unfortunately, the climax
was followed by an anti-climax. The
men turned out to be carnvial men.
the snake turned out to be a side
show snake, and the whole business
turned out to be a hoax. The two
men and the snake vanished, and
northern Ohio resumed its usual
calm.
But it was fun while it lasted. It
was fun. first of all. to pretend that
innocent Lake Erie really harbored
a sea serpent. Then it was fun to
pretend that an 18-foot python could
somehow find its way from India to
make a home in a North American
lake. Everybody knew, all along,
that it wasn't really true but that
didn't matter.
Why is it we get such a kick out
of peisuading ourselves to accept
facts which we know to be false?
:o:
HIGH SCHOOL STUDIES
Recognizing mat criticisms to
which the American educational sys
tem has been subjected ordinarily
are too vague to furnish a basis for
constructive action. Dean Briggs of
Columbia University has met an in
sistent demand for concrete proposals
by suggesting a national conference
of educators to recommend desirable
changes in the high school curricu
lum. High schols. Dean Briggs asserts,
serve but an insignificant fraction of
the pupils attending them. The cur
riculum, in his view, is antiquated
and unsuited to present-day needs.
Consequently the great majority of
the pupils waste time and at the end
of their course are poorly prepared
for their life work.
Illustrating his views. Dean Briggs
proposes that foreign languages and
algebra be eliminated from high
ichool courses. He would stress Eng
lish, civics, history and manual
training. He believes that most edu
cators agree with him in favoring
those changes. At any rate, he
thinks a committee of educators
should be appointed to study the
matter in a concrete way and make
known its conclusions.
Here, at last, is a definite proposal.
The colleges are undergoing reorgan
ization and are adopting new plans
designed to encourage the earnest
minority of students. Does the high
school articulate with the new col
lege? If not, what should be done
to modernize and improve it?
Educators shouiu seek the answers
to these questions.

Mr Pcrah emphasized that reduc
tion in the alue of silver was stead
ily reducing the purchasing power
of an overwhelming portion of the
world's population, lowering world
trade and more than doubling in
debtedness of the countries using
EllVer.
He outlined in detail the depend
ency of many countries on silver as
their basis of credit and said:
"The silver problem is one which
requires government action. It can
not be solved or settled by resolu
lutions or through the action of the
citizens. Governments must deal
with it. And it is somewhat difficult
to understand the delay."
ROAD TO AUTOMOBILE SAFETY
It is to be hoped that during 1931
more states will go in for "Save-a-'-ife"
motor ehicle Inspection cam
paigns such a those conducted in
ten states in 1930.
This movement is something more
than an appeal to automobile owners
tc see that their machines are in good
condition. Usually the campaign is
backed up by a law making inspec
tion of brakes, headlights, steering
mechanism and horns, obligatory.
During 1930, in the ten states. 3,
500.000 cars were examined and
over a million had defective brakes,
2.000.000 had unsafe headlights and
219,000 had defective steering.
The ill-conditioned car causes ac
cidents. The newspapers are filled
with stories of cars which suddenly
swerve from their courses to collide
with other cars or trees or to leave
the road; of drivers being blinded
by glaring headlights and running
into disaster, and so on. There is no
room on our highways for cars which
are not mechanically safe, or for
reckless and irresponsible drivers.
Last year the "Save-a-Life cam
paigns produced splendid results in
the ten states where they were con
ducted. Making the movement nation-wide
would be a fine way of be
ginning a real fight against highway
accidents.

NO TYPICAL AMERICAN
The American is a myth; he
doesn't exist. The typical American
town or countryside is likewise a fig
ment of the imagination: it has no
reality. There are many Americans
and many American towns, but none
representative of the whole.
An English commonwealth fund
fellow studying a Yale has been
touring the United States from coast
to coast. Some of his observations
are interesting. The Englishman or
the German may be discoverable in
his own country. But the search for
an American thoroughly typical of
his nation was in vain.
Between the Califcrnian and the
New Englander, or between the
Georgian and the Indianan there are
differences that might, to a casual
observer, indicate wholly different
nationalities. Between the dweller
in a congested district of an indus
trial community and the Kansas
farmer the diversities outnumber the
resemblances. Yet all are Americans
bound together by ties stronger than
mere personal appearance or men
tal slants.
The successful role played by the
United States in the late war proved
to the world that this country could
act unitedly and effectively in spite
of the vast differences due to geo
graphy, industry and the inherited
reactions from generations past. The
leadership in financial restoration
X. which Mr. Hoover now offers and to
which the country warmly responds
is timber indication that the nation
, .... ,,
can act as a unit, even taough the
! American doe.'-, not exist.
One is inclined to agree with H.
L. Puxley, the English student who
makes these observations touching
the diversities among us. It may be
impossible to isolate type, but its ab
sence seems not to hamper Amer
icans in anything worth while they
care to undertake. Cleveland Plain

LOW-COST. YEAR-ROUND
ROADS ARE NECESSARY
It may be the opinion of the aver
age city dweller that the United
States is pretty well provided with
good roads. But such is not the case.
Most of the good highways lead from
city to city and over trunk routes
from state to state.
Five million farmers, according to
an authoritative survey, are cut off
from their markets during a large
part of each year, by impassable
roads.
One very definite way to secure a
practical kind of farm relief would
be to set apart a specific portion of
all available road funds to be ap
plied to the building of low-cost,
waterproof-surfaced, farm-to-market
highways connecting up with thru
roads end enabling residents on out
lying farms to do their shopping and
marketing easily and conveniently
at all times of the year.
