1t looks good to see the farm

large loads of grain of all kinds.
This is one of the years that the
farmers haul their grain to- town
instead of coming to town and
hauling it home. 1t will not be

compelled to erect large eieva-
tors to hold the ia mers grain.

LIVERY spectacular move of the German
IL army calls up a still more spectacular
possibility. AS soon as the Warsaw offensive
developed. a movement at the north OF the
line against Riga brought forth prophecies
that Germany would leave the western front
to its present deadlock and launch the drive
of another Napoleon on the capital of Russia.
Now comes a rumor of a great thrust to
the southwark as as the issue in Poland
Is settled. 1t is to be thrust from south
ernmost Hungary and Bosnia over the Ser
Wan line, down that typhus-swept land and
through into Turkey-to the relief of Con-
stantinople.
There are a good many difficulties in the
road besides the Balkan Mountains there
are a good many deterrent influences besides
the pressure of Russia the east and of
the other Allies on the west The Balkans
began the war The Balkans would be more
than likely to end 1t If Germany tried such
a move. Its success might mean the saving
OF Constantinople but it's mere inception
would surely mean the ranging Of Ruma-
mia, Greece and not improbably Bulgaria
against a force aiming to bind people and
races that would be free and renaissant.

A Now sort of Policeman

TTNHE policeman can go a good deal further
i than being a big brother to the boy"
Judge MacNeille's conception can be and
should be extended to society in general
Mayor Baker, of Cleveland, writes in the
Atlantic Monthly: I'VE must stop regarding
policemen as mere keepers of order, and we
must enlarge our view of their duties far be-
yond the arrest of criminals and the terror
ization of the neighborhood small boy"
He doesn't make the best sort of picture
when he calls this new officer "the social
policeman" But his conception is right.
The business of the police is to arrest law
breakers; but 1t Is also to prevent law
breaking. And hundred forms of law
breaking take their start far back in social
causes that n sanely managed police force
could do much to check
Mayor Baker would make the policemans
work a life career, with an apprenticeship
served in a field where duties should be
largely on the social slde-duties such as
sanitary inspection. traffic control juvenile
recreation and correction, the regulation OF
amusements and patrolling parks and public
places in which people congregate for recrea
ton; this work, under such conditions as
conduce to the development of the social
sense, would therefore, train into these flu
ture policemen in their impressionable years.
a sympathy with people, born of association
with them and of helpfulness extended to
men and women and children as part of
duty flowing from employment by society
itself"
The recipe may be wrong, but the inten-
tion Is admirable. Not until the policeman
takes other things besides law-breahing un-
der his care will he strike at the roots OF
crime. And not till then will he have that
public regard and public trust which will
make his work both a fine and an easy
compnshment

Private Charltles to the Rescue

PHILADELPHIA can't be too thankful
L right now for it's private charities. What
would the poor OF the city's overcrowded dis
tricts do without such benefactors as the late
John F. Smith, who founded the pleasure
park at Red Bank to which the Sanitarium
Association recently took 1000 blssfuly
happy children and their parents. And what
substitute could be provided for the scores of
boys clubs and similar organizations man
aged and financed to make life more endur-
able for those who cannot fly from the heat
Of the city?
And yet this is just the time when Councils
permits nine Of its Fairgrounds TO close,
while this body appropriates for political
junketing trip a sum twice as great as the
amount necessary 10 keep them open.
There may be, as the politicians say. some
overlapping in the work OF private charities,
but while the politicians do nothing the
charities work And just now the city should
give thanks that these organizations are
busy. They are sending children by the thou
sands TO the seashore the country and the
summer camps. They are keeping their
Fairgrounds and swimming pools open when
there is the greatest need for them. To these
organizations, not the political type, Phila-
delphia now owes a debt OF gratitude.

in East Aurora with the same eye to the main

contrary in the vaedlctory number notWith-

THE Board OF Education. II has been sug-
i gested, should consider q woman as sue
cessor to Doctor Jacobs-not any particular
teacher Just a woman in general, if there
can be such thing.
There is just about reason and half
for a woman Superintendent Of Schools
Half Of 1t is the fact that women teachers
predomlnate and are undoubtedly better
fitted by nature for imparting knowledge to
young children than are men. The rest OF
the reason will be simply the name OF the
particular woman who Is the superior OF any
man available for the job.
Charlotte Rudyard has summed up the
Philadelphia situation in some remarks on
a very different project: "The woman suf-
frage party has asked for a woman on the
Naval Board OF Invention and Development,
but that to me is entirely the wrong atti-
tude to take. We mustn't ask for represen-
tatlon just because we're women. We must
have some very definite contribution to
make"
A woman out I'm Chicago, Ella F'lagg
Young, had such contribution; so had Mrs.
Victor Berger in Milwaukee. If Philadelphia
holds a woman like them 1t is the Boards
business to find her.

How to Be Healthy, Though on a Vacation

NSTENsIBLY you so on a vacation to
" find or to improve your health, But
how many achieve It? To most of us va
cation is a respite from toll, with a license
TO overest, oYersleep and overdo nearly
everything that we take in normal doses dur
ing the period of hard labo-. Who is there
who hasn't returned from a vacation spoiled
by indigestion. excessive play or a lazy in
dulgence in doing nothing, with the convic-
tion that the pleasures and increased health
he expected to fnd were a deluslon?
The best vacation is not so much freedom
from the necessity of working as it is a
change, new scenes, new people, new ideas,
all taken In moderation. AS such they are
a tonic. When you start forth. just to avoid
the necessity of calling in a physician to
diagnose your ailment. take the advice Of
Jonathan Swift and consult 1.-The three best
doctors In the world-Doctor Diet. Doctor
Quiet and Doctor Merryman" They will tell
you TO eat moderately OF digestible foods. to
let alcoholic liquors alone and then to re-
member, as Solomon said. that "a merry
heart doeth good like a medicine"
While your sins must be atoned for in the
next world. you have to pay for your follies
also In this one,
