spirit that has entered our colleges

political problems. The second aim.
and much more important of the two.

Let the TRUTH PreVailg
Carranza a Failure

No matter how optimistic we may be, or with how
roseate brush would paint the situation in Mex
leo, the fact all along has stuck uncomfortably out
that Carranza has failed to restore order in the
southern republic. Today's developments make the
fact fairly painful.
1t looks as if the lawless guerilla warfare in that
country would continue indefinitely, until some
leader arises who is strong enough, personally,
politically and financially, to weld the guerilla bands
into a cohesive mass, which will mean another
bloody revolution.
Financial and trade conditions are unusually de-
pressed according to reliable reports, instead of
being on the upgrade, would be the case if the
Mexican people had confidence in the permanency
of Carranza' S reign.
1t is doubtful if the reported revolution to be
headed by Felix Diaz will amount to much Diaz is
looked upon with suspicion by all hands. But,
er or later the man of the hour will show up. Then
bang
Carranza is a weakling. weakling cannot be
made into warrior by Uncle Sam any one else.

The Difference

A level-headed western business man put this
question to Theodore H. Price:
eff Germany can't invade England with only the
English channel to cross, why should we worry un-
less the Atlantic dries up?''
Mr.. Price says it was "poser' and, further, that
it reflects the sentiment of the public generally.
The answer, Mr.. Price and gentlemen, is that
England has navy so much larger than that of
Germany that the English channel is several times
wider, patroed by that navy, than the Atlantic
would be be patrolled by our own
1t is not the English channel which protects Eng
land by any means manner.

BY contact with it people can derive form of en-

Children like to run barefoot in squashy mud be-
cause as they say ''it feels good The reason it
feels good is because their bare feet are absorbing
the earth's magnetism
In other words contact with Mother Earth brings
about an actual rechargng of physical batteries.
Thus of the simplest ways to keep well is to
get out into the garden as the weather per-
mits and begin to dig up health.
Combined with the contact with Mother Earth
there the physical benefits that come from the
exertion most folk call it ''fun, Of spading and cul-
