Mnv Americans have wondered if the fed eral government had utterly failed to make pro vision for the disabled veterans, wholly neglect ing promises made the boys when they were going out to war. Perhaps a partial explanation will be found in this letter, which Senator Smoot read into the records one day last week: Price, Utah, June 22, 1921. Hon. Reed Smoot, United States Senate: The other day, while returning from Duchesne I occupied a seat in the stage with a young man who intends to avail himself of the vocational training offered disabled soldiers by our government, and in the course of our conversation he stated to me that he was on his way to Price to have his teeth examined, as required by the rules of the department under which he was prepar ing himself; that he had already been to Salt Lake twice, once to go through a physical examination, the other time to have his eyes tested; that upon his return from Salt Lake for his physical examination there was a notice waiting him to go to Salt Lake to have his eyes tested; that upon his return from Salt Lake there was a notice to go to Price to have his teeth examined; that each trip to Salt Lake costs the government $35, and that his trip to Price cost about $17. He himself could not understand why it was that he could not have had his teeth and eyes examined in Salt Lake at the time he took his physical examination, and thus save time to himself and money to the government. I was impressed with the thought that if such needless expenditures prevail in all the departments at Washington that the mothers who gave their sons' lives in the late war would go on forever paying a war tax on medicine necessary in time of sick ness. C S. PRICE. Following the reading of this letter, Senator Pomerene related this incident: One of the most intelligent women it has been my pleasure to hear in a long time was before our committee. She had been a teacher; she assisted in the McHenry hospital at Balti more. TVe were advised by her on yesterday that a J.-.rge number of these boys were asked to take a course in vulcanizing. Some of the boys t!!'l not want to do it. A representative " of the .vocational board said to some of these boys, "You will have to take that course or or none." The government is paying these alleged instructors $30 for each boy to get this kind of instruction that is thrust upon them by some people that have no interest save of the dirty dollars which they get out of it. This shows not only positive waste but actual wickedness in the administration of the relief promised and planned for the disabled soldiers. Senator Smoot has promised to expedite the Sweet bill through the senate, but even the pas sage of that will not do away with the reproach the nation is subject to because of the grafters and incompetents who have been handling the relief work. No part of our entrance or emer gence from the war is as discreditable as the treatment we have given the disabled men who wore the uniform. Revolvers Protection or Menace? What should be the attitude of the average law-abiding citizen toward the Shields bill pro hibiting interstate shipment of revolvers? Too many men who have no legitimate excuse for arming themselves are "packing a gun." The measure pending in congress originates in the belief that the ease with which small arms may be obtained does not make for the safety of the public, but rather endangers it. Manufacturers and dealers in firearms cannot be expected to ascertain the purposes for which deadly weapons are bought, and hence the proposal to limit the sale of them to those, obtaining special license. At a hearing before a 'senate committee the representative of the manufacturers, while ob jecting to national regulation, conceded that sties should be regulated by state laws. This already has been attempted in several states, and in New York' City, without any great effect, since citizens merely step across the state line and. buy whatever they desire to bring back. Federal prohibition of interstate shipment of revolvers will be compared to the prohibitory laws affecting alcohol by some who question either the wisdom or the possibility of restrict ing the carrying of arms. Other contentions rvil! have to do with the value of familiarizing citizens with the use of weapons useful in war and the fact that criminals will never lack for pistols though honest men may go unarmed in accordance with the law. . ' Here is indeed a question with many angles, which should have the full discussion and public attention before decision is made one way or the other. Absentee Warfare Next. The magic carpet whereon a hero of the Arabian Nights was able to transfer himself from one place to any other by a wish will be more than equalled if the Navy department is ablt to meet its expectation of steering airplanes by means of wireless. . Bomb carriers then could be sent up on their errand of destruction without any pilot, endan gering his life by accompanying them over the lines of the enemy. Nations could sit at home and. instead of mobilizing immense forces for the field, merely press a button in order to wreak vengeance on their foes, destroying fleets, armies or cities with explosives or poison The romance dropped out of war long ago, and each invention of new mechanical means of destruction makes it less of a physical conflict than enj purely mental, Already a device has been constructed by which it is possible to steef a warship by radio, without a single man aboard. The practical bearing of this single innovation is not easily discerned, unless it should be found possible to aim and fire the guns in similar ab sentee fashion. Combat between two rival fleets of manless warships, accompanied by squadrons of pilotlcss airplanes would be about as exciting as a game of checkers, and prove about as little. Before it comes down to this, with all oppor tunity for heroism and self-sacrifice and all ex cuse for enthusiasm or admiration eliminated, nations might save their trouble and expense by casting dice to settle their disputes. Battleship Yet Undisturbed. Tests made with the old battleship Iowa as a target for bombing airplanes show that the flyers still have considerable progress to make before they ire to become a real terror to the fighting ships. While no especial trouble was encountered in locating the target, which was restricted to a well defined area, when it came to landing on it with bombs dropped from airships, the record was rather disconcerting for the flyers. Only one and perhaps two of the bombs reached the target. When the report was made after the test it was not certain that any of the missiles had landed, but observers on a mine-sweeper felt sure that one had, and perhaps a second. The official report will determine this. The test was only under partial battle condi tions. The Iowa was in motion, radio con trolled from the Ohio, but its speed while under fire did not exceed four and one-half knots, affording almost a motionless target. Bombing planes were not permitted to descend below 4,000 feet altitude, but they were not under fire. In battle the target would not only be moving at a much faster rate of speed, thereby rendering it more difficult to hit, but the planes would be subject to such fire as would compel them, to keep far above 4,000 feet for safety. . The problem of the aviator is increased as he ascends, the difficulty of locating an object on the surface being well known to all who have had experience in the air. When that object is moving at a moderate rate of speed, and is vigorously defending itself, the likelihood of its being demolished by a bomb from above is diminished to the element of chance. Practical tests so far seem to justify the conclusion of the naval officer, who said he would let the airmen drop bombs at him all day long if only allowed to keep his ship moving. Opinion Down on the Farm. Straw votes are not usually awarded the credence that attends the referendum taken by the Nebraska farm bureau federation on 16 na tional questions. While only about 3,000 farmers are reported as replying to this ques tionnaire, there was in no case any closeness in the vote such as would leave a doubt of the general opinion of those engaged in agriculture on these matters. For the most part the request was for nothing more than an expression of opinion on plans to assist rural industry, without considering the ef fect of the proposed changes on other lines of business. Co-operative marketing received a favorable vote of 3,158 with only seven in opposi tion to legislation enabling the legal establish- ment of various short cuts between producer and consumer. Regulation of the packers and the grain trade received similar majorities. A proposal of another kind that was highly favored is that calling for the authorization of the federal reserve board so to classify redis counts as to give priority for loans for basic-production of all kinds. A good deal more is almost certain to be heard of this matter, and it indeed seems possible that the utility of the federal re serve system ought to and will be increased in some such manner, 'A point on which the far mers can speak more practically and without any theorizing concerns the question whether they would be able to ship greater quantities of farm products if freight rates were reduced. Only 34 formers out of almost 3,200 replied that they 'could not The testimony as to the prohibitive effect on transportation of the present rates is to be accepted as fact. The farmers are not the only business men suffering from this cause, but they now are organized so. as to be able to ex press a concerted opinion., The referendum, which is nation-wide, is an interesting thing, and worthy of study by all who wish to ascertain the needs and opinions of an industry more than one-third of the total population of the nation. - The reason it requires 25 Polish marks to equal one American dollar may be read in the statement that its budget shows expenditures almost double revenue, a deficiency that is being met by issuing more paper money. A little less war and more work might be prescribed. Tourist records to Europe are being, broken, it is said, but still those excursion parties con ducted by Uncle Sam a short time ago will not be easily equalled. Salvaging Civilization Through Children Two Short Feature Arti cles by Lyman Bryson The carpenters will now proceed to put Soma props under the supreme bench, in preparation of heavyweight decisions from Chief Justice Taft If they do arrest Jack Dempsey for criminal assault, he has a very good reason to plead self defense. Carpentier landed the first punch. Tales of wild carousals in France indicate that American tourists are observing the rule, when in Paris, do as the parasols. That South Dakotan who holds two marriage certificates but can't get either wife to talk to him is getting off lucky. We might have known Cliarles G.

Now that the Junior Red Cross has become great, there is considerable rivalry among Euro pean countries as to who Began, some action of sivinsr children a chance to encase in humani tarian work has doubtless been in the minds of many groups of people since the Red Cross it self began to take on tne character ot an organi zation for general helpfulness rather than mere lv an aid to the wounded on the battlefield. There certainly were beginnings in France more than M years ago: hpain developed an eia- borate plan in 1905; the province of Quebec be gan in 1915 when the war was new, but there seems to have been little exchange of ideas among these pioneers. The greatest spreading of the common faith came through the missions sent in Europe by the American Juniors who, when they became an organization numbering more than 11,000,000 boys and girls, half of the school children of the United States, had their representatives carrying on special proj ects in foreign countries as a part of the foreign work of the American National society. These missions brought help and courage to thousands suffering from the war and they came from the children to the children. The presence of grown-ups as intermediaries did not rob the work of this direct appeal. Quite naturally the response of children to this help was to express then- own recovering energies in organizing for labors of the same kind. In countries that have not needed such help the idea has taken on quite naturally and in certain places, Australia, for example, it has grown spontaneously. Recent reports from Australia give an enroll ment of more than 40,000. Canada, which has not fallen behind since its pioneering day, has branches in six of its provinces. In China, Hungary, Poland and Switzerland, there are "go ing organizations" of greater or less size, but all keen on getting numbers which will fairly represent them in the international group. In Czecho-Slovakia, a definite campaign was carried on in the schools during February, March and April of this year, and there are now more than 100,000 Juniors. In the United States the idea is firmly fixed as a part of the educational plans of the nation. Countries which are considering the way to open the same avenue of usefulness to their own children are: Great Britain, France, Italy, Bel gium, Bulgaria and Portugal, and probably many others. There is even a group of young Russian refugees in Paris working for their brothers in the camps of Lemnos and Viborg. If there are 40,000 of these Junior members in Australia. 20,000 or more in Canada, 14,000 in China, 100,000 in Hungary, 50,000 in Poland, 5,000 in Switzerland and millions in the United States, who can say that any special circum stances are necessary for such? Who would care to impute a character to the children of his own country that would make it impossible for such work to become a part ot their life and their pre paration for life? The hope that the idea of service can be made oart of the educational system of every nation and that the Junior Red Cross is a trustworthy machine for the practice of that service springs from a conviction that education differs more in systems than in the material the children with which it deals. And teachers have oeen capable of seeing that children do not so much inherit the prejudices and the formulae that cir cumscribe their world as get them by education. So with the devotion that is the tradition of their lives, the teachers have been willing to introduce practices, sometimes radically different from any ever tried before, that give children the chance to show what they can do. ' i In the Tunior Red Cross the ingenuity of mil lions of children has been called upon in the past three years to find ways of expressing, un der conditions that run the range of western civilization, the idea of practical benevolence, the idea of taking trouble to lighten the unhappiness of others or to' better the circumstances of all. Now their imaeination ranges in doing things under the stimulus of the opportunity to be of help to other children and their communities is evident from a mere list of things which are now included in the Tunior program of one group of American schools, all ot them on tne racinc coast, most of them in California. 1 heir methods of raising money by their own efforts include the cultivation of gardens, holding school bazaars and entertainments, gathering and marketing cast-off material such as clothing, shoes or waste paper, and a shop in which they make things with their own hands, things expressive ot their own ideas of beauty and usefulness. Thev snend their money on scholarsmps for sorm of their own number, choosen by competi tion to take certain industrial courses, and for scholarships given to disabled or sick children who need to get an education unue. sueuauy favored conditions. They establish and main tain preventoriums for children threatened with tuberculosis, cpen air recrcatior. camps, den til clinics and cyi-clinicu for their ova schools, day nurseries for the bab:es of mothers wh need to earn a living, ar J soup kithens for Jie poor. They buy milk for babies of the po;r. pay for operations when ntedt-d for poor playmates, are hiring a health nurse for one school district and a welfare worker for another. Besides these things, they maks substantial contribul-'ons to the National Children's Fund, supposing units which extend from Belgium to Turkey and range in activity from playgrounds to feeding slat ions, from special s:hv! in AI-. bania to scholarships for French orphans. They do not content themselves, however, merely with the fun of making money and de voting it to good purposes. They contribute of their own time and energy -in direct service. They make surveys of their school districts which are illuminating to them as young citizens and to their parents as taxpayers. They attend extra classes in nutrition, in home nursing, in first aid, and try to observe simple rules of health for their own sake and the sake of their friends and neighbors. They produce in their school shops substan tia quantities of toys and furniture for distri bution to the sick or the poor, and in their school kitchens and sewing rooms the girls make deli cacies for the hospitals or garments for tene ment babies. They have a messenger service and a. motor service in one school which can be call ed upon for any public use. All the schools in California are not doing all these things, but many are doing several of them and they are all doing their own share of them as expressions of the same idea. Those things are possible under American conditions. A sharp contrast to these circum stances is to be found in a town in Moravia. There, the girls have no sewing rooms, and very little chance of making money. They are jun ior members, however, of the Czecho-Slovak Red Cross and they wanted a way to be prac tically helpful. They found a poor family and a care-ridden mother was surprised one day by a visit from two small delegates who explained that they were representing the Juniors. They respectfully asked the privilege of doing part of her housework for her and after that they would be glad to help with her sewing. On an other day, two others came, and now regularly they visit that home by twos, to do the dish washing, the dusting, the sewing and to look after the babies.

A strenuous and uphill fight is now proceeding tn brighten life in the social clubs of London. It has been started by Colonel Manning, who, as a member of three clubs, has publicly com plained that he had never been spoken to by any member who did not know him personally. But, really, the colonel has nothing to grumble about. The English idea of a club is of a kind of place of sanctuary particularly a sanctuary from women and from one's fellow men. And sanctuary has always meant unsociability. Membership of a club implies relief from ordinary q social intercourse. Only after 10 or IS years, and after having at the out set been introduced by a mutuat. friend, does the member of an Eng lish club feel compelled to reply to the salutation of a fellow member. Can't Stand 'Em. To the old-fashioned clubman in discriminate conversation is an out rage. And if promiscuously ad dressed by a member junior to him self he would probably resign there and then. There is a story of a well-known and highly-respected member of White's club severing his membership because another mem ber had ?aid "good morning" to him without being formally introduced. "I can't stand these noisy, ill-mannered, ill-bred fellows," was his ex planation to the committee. At another old-fashioned club of Scotch origin the story goes that the inmates had attained to such a pitch of calm and serenity that w , . ,i t ; ii the surprise when one morning an old and respected member rang a bell and summoned a club servant. "Waiter," said he, "remove that member. To my knowledge he has been dead for two days." It Is Denied. But the rumor that at the Ath enaeum club a waiter was assigned each morning to sweep out the mem bers who had died during the night is denied on the best authority, clubs to be places of freedom and so In any event the younger genera tion is getting restive. They want ciability, not weighted down by an absurd conventionalism. And if they succeed the older clubs are likely to suffer sadly in membership. Whooping It Up.
