DIR. Sights Thinks Should BE Shown
In Schools.

DR.. Fl. P. Sights lectured 10 the
High school pupils this morning at
the opening exercises on Exercise,
Hygiene, and Sanitation" "By exer-
cise," stated DR.. Sights, is meant
physical development, which brings
more pleasure than accomplishment"
Continuing, he said. "Our body Is a
temple grander than any king or mil
llonaire can buy or build" Few OF
the Hish schools offer training along
this line. The doctor thinks 1t
would be better to drop some study
not so important in order that the
pupils may know themselves. "The
mind is overtaxed compared with the
physical development of the pupils OF
the schools" he stated. In conclu-
sion ne spoke on the division of Hy-
giene. Pupils know little of the ne
cessity Of II. Every person needs
proper exercise and by it one may
throw of the germs of all contagious
diseases.

Railroad Extension May Be
Postponed
Local Man Sees Financial Sources
Drying Up Until All Agitation
Ceases.
DEMAGoGUEs ARE AROUSED

"Paducah is likely to suffer some
what from the railroad agitation,
said a well known railroad man to-
day. sit is not the investigation be-
ing carried on by the national govern
ment, but the fear aroused on ac-
count of state meddling that has
dried up the sources of financial aid
for Improvements and extensions
For this reason, the extension of the
burlington and Big Four to Metropo-
lis and the crossing of the G. & z. I.
at Joppa may be indefinitely postpon-
ed, although l think they will all
eventually be completed.
Investigation is a fad. and the
demagogues see an opportunity to
strike a popular chord by doing
something to a railroad. The ma
tional officials are big enough to
know what they are doing. These lit
tie demagogues have no idea of the
vast interests they are tampering
with, while the legislative highway
men, of course, take advantage of
the opportunity to nold-up railroads.
l think the fever for this sort of
thing will exhaust itself ere long, and
there will be reaction. But until
that time comes, men who nave mon
ey are not going to invest 1t in rail-
road extensions and Improvements. -
