SuperioritY of the Past.

We hear from the best authorities
that the classics are not studied as
they used to be. This does not sur
prise US, because it has been equally
true of every age. For instance. Bish-
op Berkeley, discoursing in 1744 ION
the virtues Of tar water" and other
things that came into his mind, said:
"In these free thinking times many an
empty head Is shook at Aristotle and
Plato as well as at the Holy Scriptures.
In these days that depth of
that old learning Is rarely fathomed."
This reminds US Of the political debate
In a corner grocery where one Of the
village sages remarked, "Jimson Is not
the man he used to be-" and another
responded, "No. and he never was

New York City Garbage Disposal.

New York City Garbage Disposal.
The method Of garbage disposal in
New York city is as follows:
Garbage, placed in separate cans by
householders, is collected in city vehi-
cles and transported to dumps along
the water fronts Of Manhattan, the
Bronx and Brooklyn, where it is plac-
ed upon contractors scows.
A filed scow is lowed to a reduction
plant on Barren island, In Jamaica
bay, where the material is cooked, the
grease extracted and the tankage or
soiled matter dried. Grease Is sold
for soap making, etc., and tankage is
used as fertilizer. The moisture only
is wasted.
The contractors work begins at the
dumps, and for the privilege of receiv-
ing the 100000 tons Of garbage per
annum the contractor is obliged by
agreement to pay the city an average
sum Of $4,000 per year for a term of
five years.-New York Times.

Three Places to Watch.

Political regeneration must start In a
quickening Of the civic conscience.
Men In larger numbers must begin to
take a deepened interest In political
policies and programs. The three
places which should be kept In the
minds eye evermore are the city hall,
the state capitol and Washington city.
What the representatives Of the people
are thinking and saying and doing
should be closely scrutinized and scru-
pulously judged. When our newspa-
pers pass out Of the emi-barbaric stage
Of newspaper development they will
devote less space to accident and Cos
sip and crime and lay before the pub
lie day by day in ampler fullness the
doings Of our aldermen, our assembly
men and our congressmen.-Woma

CoLoRED WOMAN POLICE OFF
GER MAKING GOOD.

Los Angeles, Cal, Special to The
Broad Ax.-Mrs. Morgan Robinson, the
first Colored woman in the entire Unit
ed States to be appointed outright as
police officer, has served in the Los
Angeles Police Department for the past
three months during which period she
has made good.
Mrs. Robinson is both steady and sa-
gacious; kindly in her attitude towards
the victims with which she has to deal,
and very hopeful for her own people.
From her early girlhood Mrs. Robin
SON has always identified herself with
racial issues and organizations that
had for their main object enterprise
and race uplift.
The fact that Mrs. Robinson was ap-
pointed perhaps as an experiment and
that she has made good in every way,
is a great victory not alone for her but
for the race.

How to Find Fault.

II is not difficult to find fault.
because there is so much OF 1t lying
around. That's where the difficulty
comes in. There is no honor or dis
ttnction In finding fault that anybody
else can find and everybody else has
found.
If you want to be SUCCESS at fault
finding you must branch out on fresh
lines, use new and ingenious methods
and find fault that has never been
found before. Where is the honor In
finding fault with your wife's biscuits.
or with the fact that dinner is late, or
other such daily occurrences? But
only let some budding scientist find
modicum Of fault with the inexactitude
of the isothermal lines as evidenced by
the cross currents Of the Marian
canals, and he is in a fair way to &C
cumulate unto himself both fame and
fortune.
In brief, then, it is with finding fault
as with everything else-be not COM

A space has been fenced off by brass

The entertainers are: Mrs. Lillian

The entertainers and orchestra al

its patrons have no trouble in having
their coats and wraps checked. Three

URGE MEDICAL EXAMINATION
FOR ALL.
National Observance December 6.
Reasons why overhauling is neces-
sary.

Plans for the observance of National
Medical Examination Day on Deem
Der 6, were announced today by The
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
The National Association, together
with other organizations, is advocating
an annual medical examination for
every person, sick or well, and Decem-
Der has been set aside as one of the
feature days of tuberculosis Week, De-
cember to 10. Anti-tuberculosis As
sociations, state and local boards of
health, women s clubs and other socie-
ties are cooperating to interest every
one possible in the subject of at least
one medical examination year, pre-
ferably on this special day. Physicians
will make special arrangements to de-
vote December to medical examina-
tions, and clinics and dispensaries will
prepare to receive those who cannot
afford to pay a physician.
Some of the reasons why the human
machine should be inspected at. least
annually, as given in a free pamphlet
on "Periodic Medical Examinations,
issued by the National Association are
these:
The physically perfect man is almost
impossible to find. Almost everyone
who has reached the age of 80 has some
impairment or defect of his body Out
of 1000 men and women examined, 20
per cent. were found to have impair
ments of more or less serious nature,
while all of the remaining 80 per cent.
had some defects of a minor character
Out of the thousands who have been
examined and found to be impaired,
only 10 per cent. imagined there was
anything wrong with them; the re-
naming 90 per cent. supposed them
selves "perfectly WELL" Many little
defects or impairments may be found
which, if allowed to continue without
treatment, may result in serious and
perhaps fatal illness, such as Bright's
Disease, tuberculosis, etc.
A thorough physical examination is
not expensive, and it is worth the cost
to know where ones health account
stands. If an inspection of your body
reveals a little break that can be re-
paired for a dollar or two, which is
cheaper: to let that little break con-
tinue until it becomes chronic tuber-
culosis. cancer, or Bright's Disease,
which will cost hundreds of dollars to
treat and which may never be cured
or to stop it at its very beginning'
The time to prevent disease from
sapping your vitality is before it gets
a foothold. The best way to discover
disease early is to have periodic over
hauling of your body, at least once a
year.
