Submarine Inactivity

A number of theories have been advanced re-
garding the decrease in the number of ships tor
pedoed by submarines.
One plausible explanation is that the Ger
mans are preparing for a submarine attack on
our Atlantic coast It is argued that the foe be-
lieves that few bombs dropped in New York or
Boston by hydro-plane launched from subma-
rne will create such terror in the coastwise cities
that part of our fleet would be recalled from its
patrol work in the North Sea.
Whatever may be the reason for the falling
off in the submarine toll, the American people
want to be prepared for eventualities in our own
waters and must not let a submarine attack on
our coast cities brighten them into hysteria
which will clamor for the recall of the ships that
are doing effective work abroad.
The scourge of the seas will not be eradicated
by foolish demand on our part. The naval and
military leaders of our country have not over
looked the possibility of submarine attacks and
are prepared for the visitation. Insistance on the
recall of part of our ships, owing to unnecessary
clamor at home, would be calamity.

most deaf people suffer from them
constantly. Sometimes these head
noises become so distracting and
nerve-racking, with their never ceas-

most frantic and complete nervous
breakdown may result.
Thanks to remarkable prescrip-
ton, it is now possible to lessen the
severity Of these head noises and Of
ten completely overcome them and
with the disappearing of the head
noises the hearing also greatly i'm

Praise for the Richmond Schools

It is with commendable pride that our citizens
read the flattering mention of the school work of
Richmond contained in the Rainbow Promises of
Progress in Education" issued after a nation
wide investigation by the Institute for Public
Service, New York.
The most abiding element of hope for the fu-
ture strength of any community is its school sys-
tenn This is the foundation not only of mu-
ncpal but also of state and national strength for
the children of today are the men and women of
tomorrow.
Educate the children thoroughly, give them
the cultural and vocational training necessary for
life, and you have laid foundation that will not
be destroyed by storm and stress. Nations be-
come great and remain so only if the youth is
educated Alright.
Our forefathers were strong because they
were educated. Their intellectual preparation
enabled them to understand what is involved in
free institutions, and they were willing to fight
to obtain and preserve them.
One of the most palpable weaknesses in the
Russian crisis today is the ignorance of the mass
