or corse, the people should be
warned to beware the hoodoo on
that date, but of course again. prob

and editors in various parts of the
country will s'eze upon the occa-

or else work off a bit Of humor.
From both these we refrain, for, to
close observers. obvious reasons
Everybody knows of the evil gnomes
that stalk the earth on any Fri
day, and the sinister influence Of

walking under ladders, looking over
your left shoulders, black cats, cross
eyed girls, and the like. Above all,
however, keep away from creditors.
They might take advantage Of your
perturbed and preoccupied mind
and ask you for money. and, in
your semi-conscious state, you nigh

about and planning that exhibit for
the local fair. The premium lists

SOME PUBLIC ENEMIES

With felicitous and concist
ingenuity, Health Commissioner
Powers Of San Francisco catalogues
what he terms the enemies OF
children" under thirteen heads:
/. Doctors who don't report thei
cases of contagious disease.
2. Dirty milkmen.
3. Flies.
4. Tubercular cows.
s. Persons who conceal contagi-
GUS diseases.
6. Hokey-pokey men.
z. Reckless automobile speeders.
8. Violators Of quarantine.
8. Manufacturers of adulterated
candles.
10. Manufacturers of adulterat-
ed foods.
IL. Child slave~
IL. Parsimonious taxpayers who
place the boarding of money above
measures for the protection of
child life.
10. Mothers who needlessly de-
prive their babies of mothers
milk.
To these might be added two
more:
IA. School boards that neglect
air, Light and sanitation.
Is. Vendors of soothing syrups
and other "doped" noStrums.
The list is worthy of being posted
in every household. Properly inter

PLAN TO INCREASE
ARMY ENLISTMENTS

Washington, April 29.-ihc aver
age American will not enlist i'm the
army and mortgage his future for
u long time. This Is evidenced by
the practical failure Of the new re-
cruiting law passed by the last Con-
gress. Four months operation Of the
law has resulted in an average en-
listment and re-enlistmcnt of 2.10O
men, which is a material loss as
compared with the operation CT the
cid law providing for enlistment for
three years. Secretary Garrison Is
expected to use this fact to reinforce
the recommendation for o further
amendment to the law to provide for
atwo year term Of enlistment and for
the creation of an independent re-
serve.
