Need of a Universal Sys- tenn of Physical
 Education By Dr. DUDLEY A. SARGENT, Harvard University

A MAN today has to give his "A health to his occupation and
 trust to other means to keep up his physical vigor. IS TT ANY WONDER THAT 75 PER CENT OF OUR YOUNG MEN ARE UN- FIT FOR MILITARY SERVICE?
 Civilization and athletics go hand in hand, and l see great danger in present conditions here.
 The Greeks political decline fol lowed when they ceased to train and hired others to fight for their amuse- mept. Self defense has become a "1ost art" today.
 The problem is how to maintain general interest and to prevent over- specialization and professionalism. We must give an incentive to activi- ty to offset the deleterious effects of modern life.
 What we need is a universal sys- tenn of physical education.
 In advocating universal physical service I am ready to go to the length of having 1t enforced, just as is military conscription. Unless we keep up our physical standard our civilization is bound to crumble.

trades, to maintain the highest possible standard of wages and the best conditions obtainable, working men have set up certain standards, certain limitations, certain regula- tions, that they insist upon being complied with.
 TO MEET OUR EMERGENCY NOW WILL REQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF A GREAT MANY OF THOSE STAND ARDS, LIMITATIONS AND REGU- LATIONs.
 They cannot be removed arbitra- rily. Our people still have that in- dividual spirit which would resent the attempt on your part, the at- tempt on the part of the govern ment to crush down their throats any of these changes.
 When the changes are made, as they must eventually be made, they must be made in consultation with not only those who are the man. agers of the industry, BUT THOSE WHO ARE THE REPRESENTA- TIVES OF THE WORKERS.

Japan Owes a Great Debt of Gratitude to
 the United States

By Count TERAUCHI, Premier of Japan THE conspicuous fact in history
 ! is that Japan owes the great
 est debt of gratitude to the United States in formulating her national policy of energetic progress and international intercourse, a fact which our countrymen are still cher ishing.
 The United States and Japan are not the same in their political con- stitution, but both nations are at one in their reverence of humanity, in their love of peace, in their heri- tage of chivalrous spirit. There fore, though some international questions have arisen between the two countries during the past fifty years, they have ever been AM ICABLY SOLVED THROUGH THEIR MUTUAL GOOD WILL AND CONCESSIONS.
 Today the wonderful progress made in the various means of con- munication has so narrowed the dis tance of the great Pacific ocean that we are like closest neighbors on either side of a little river. More over, by the participation of the United States in the present world war our ties have been strengthened by a community of interest, and WE ARE ON THE EVE OF JOIN ING OUR RESOURCES IN CHAS- TISING OUR COMMON OBDUR- ATE FOES IN THE CAUSE OF THE PEACE OF THE WORLD.

Zionism Makes No Ap- peal to the Amerii-
 can Jew teA
 E=.4
By HENRY MOSKOwITZ, Prcsiden Civil Service Commission, New <
 York City

ITO the Jews of America Zionism \ has no positive message. The
 American Jew is nationally an American only. He is thrilled by one flag, which symbolizes the ideals of democracy in which men and women of all races have joined together to make government of the people, for the people and by the people a success.
 The very first tenet of American democracy is the separation of church and state. It has demon strated that citizens can have one common political allegiance and as many religious allegiances as their consciences may dictate.
 THE AMERICAN JEW WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY OTHER NATIoN- AL POLITICAL LOYALTY. ANY MOVEMENT WHICH EMPHASIZES RACIAL GROUPS IN AMERICA IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE SPIRIT OF THIS DEMOCRACY.

GETTING READY.

It is gratifying, to say the least, to watch the progress being made by this country ill the preparation for wallop- ing the Germans. and while we know of much that is doing it is safe to say that without doubt one half of the people do not know to what extent the other half is preparing.
 This we do know: when Uncle Sam starts out to do thing and really gets his lander up, it's pretty safe guess that the thing will be done, whether it be the making of an army or raising the cash. When the government let it be known that it wanted two billions of dollars, the people, through the Liberty Loan, shelled out $3. 035, 226,- . $50, or more than fifty per cent. more than was needed. When our navy wanted to get into Mobile Bay it said Damn the torpedoes" and drove its wooden vessels into Mobile Bay. This same navy that walked past the forts of the Mississippi mouth, that was onto it's job at the Bay of Manila, and that did things in front of Santiago, is getting into shape to make it's mark in the present war, and it will be very unlike Uncle Sam's ways of doing things if we don't hear something drop when the psychological moment arrives.

Requirements of Medical Profession Raised
 From Within
By Dr. CHARLES H. MAYO, Pres ident of the American Med
 ical Association
THE requirements of our profes'

HE requirements or our protes- l sion have been raised from
 within and not forced from without. The American College of Surgeons deserves great credit for establishing it's high standards for the science of surgery and the hon. esty of the surgeon.
 Through immediate necessity hos pitals are rapidly being classified and standardized that they may be- come more efficient for the people and for the training of nurses and future physicians. AS a body no profession has more power if wisely used.
 I'VE HAVE Ar ONCE JUMPED PAST THE PERIOD OF DISCUSSION WITH FANATICS AND CULTS AS TO THE CAUSE AND PREVENTION OF DISEASE, A LONG PERIOD IN MEDICAL HISTORY, FOR TODAY DISEASE CAN BE CHECKED BY ORDER.
 Our country should secure a med ical cabinet officer in the near fu- ture. The great problems which now occupy mems minds make those of the preceding few years seem trivial and even hysterical.
 Medical men, your country needs you now and always. You must re- member that the state is permanent and does not exist for the good of the individual. BUT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL EXISTS FOR THE GOOD OF THE STATE.

Future Immigrants Must Have Here Only
 One Allegiance
By OWEN WiSTER, Noted Author

NTE cannot in our democracy be w so drastic as We might to our
 advantage very well be just now for awhile. Alien and sedition laws were necessary once. They would be wholesome today. What would be treason in any other coun- try has been perpetrated here re- peatedly under our easy going laws and customs. These hyphens would (and did) join with the pacifsts to keep the United States defenseless expressly to aid our possible ene- mics. THIS, IF NOT TREASON, IS TREACHERY.
 But I hope the lesson of this war taught us by the hyphens will wake us up to the new era; that, while we welcome the immigrant, we will not allow him our citizenship quite so soon or on such cheap terms; that he must come here with no foreign string to him, but to be in heart and soul and mind an American citi- zen.
 AND WE SHOULD EFFECTIVELY DISCOURAGE ALL PAPERS PRINT ED IN ANY FOREIGN TONGUE WHICH HAVE FOR THEIR PuR- POSE THE PERPETUATIoN OF THE STRING TIED TO THE MIMI l. GRANT.

MOTOR TRUCKS.

The part which motor trucks play in the business world has reached a stage where scarcely a day passes that some new adoption of the motor vehicle to country freight transportation does not come to light. It has become indispen- sible since the railroads are unable to handle the business and people ill all lines have been forced to become their own freight handlers or hire others

THURSDAY, JUNE 2s,19t7,
NEW AUTO LAWS.

Next Sunday, July ], is day of considerable interest to automobile owners and it behooveth all to sit up and take notice of the new laws and regulations which become effective on that date.
 The changing of the headlight lens, which affects practically every car owner in ,he state and will cause an immense amount of kicking, is, never. theless, a good law, as all who have faced the blinding and penetrating rays of dazzling auto headlights must agree, and will doubtless save many lives. The regulations governing the kinds of lens to be used are published on the first page of this issue of The News.
 Special license numbers must be dis played on all public service automobiles, including iitneys, taxicabs and all motor vehicles operating for hire, after July 1. The numbers and design re auired will be similar in color to the 1917 commercial motor vehicle markers but will be distinguished from these markers by the letters "P. O., mean. ing public carrier. These markers will be used only when the automobile is being operated as public conveyance.
 Each applicant for license to run public conveyance will be required to secure from the police authorities of the town, city, or borough in which he effect that the authorities do not know of any reason why license should not be issued sto him.
 This certificate will be filed with the application for the special license, and after the applicant has taken out regular registration, his special license will be granted. When carrying pas. sengers, he will be required to display the special slicense and when operating his machine as private car, he must show registration numbers
 When operating his car as passen. ger carrier, the driver must carry the ordinary registration numbers in the car. The automobile commissioner has prepared and distributed to the police department certificate blanks to carry out this new plan.
 Section 20 Chapter 305) of the Pub lie Acts of 1917 reads:
 Every vehicle so constructed that
 the driver or operator is prevented from having constantly free and
 unobstructed view of the highway
 immediately to the rear and at the sides of the same shall be equipped with mirror or reflector attached
 to and so located and adjusted on such vehicle as to give the operator thereof clear reflected view of the
 highway to the rear of such vehicle''.
 There are other laws of interest to sutoists and neat little booklet has been prepared by Commissioner Rob- bins B. Stoeckel containing the motor vehicle laws. This booklet may be ob- tained from the office of the Commis. sioner in the capitol at Hartford.

Public Must Aid Railways by Reducing Nonessential Travel By HOWARD ELLIOTT, Member
 Railroad War Board
THE war board feels that if the

THE war board feels that if the
 \ war goes on the total amount
 of transportation now availa- ble will not be enough. It will be absolutely necessary to use such transportation as there is for essen- tial things. The public should will ingly give up the nonessentials. It is going to be @ great deal more inn portant for this country to move food, fuel and iron and the like than to move luxuries.
 WE HOPE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THEM ALL, BUT THINK IT IS ONLY FAIR TO POINT OUT THE FACTS AND TO ASK THE PUBLIC's SUPPORT.
 One of the first and more impor- tant measures the railroads car board has under way is to help move a greater quantity of fuel to the northwest and at the same time to bring east the greatest quantity of iron ore possible from the upper lake ports. This will provide for in dustrial activity both east and west next winter and also insure sup ply of domestic coal.

Wheat Now Costs
S2.68 A Bushe|
Ten Farmers Estimate Cost of
Production of One Acre
Wheat $26.3O

The bureau of farm management
of the U. S. department of agricul-
ture sent out to each county agent in
the spring wheat belt on Wednesda Y !,
a set of ten blanks covering cost of
producing wheat under 1917 condi-
tions. These were to be filled out
by ten representative farmers of the
county and the results were to be
compiled and forwarded by wire to
Washington on Friday. This data
was collected on short notice and was
of the greatest Importance as it was
intended for the use Of the Price Fix
ing committee in setting standard
on this years crop.
1t may lie instructive to many and
will at least be surprising to even
those who lave grown up in the wheat
raising business to note the cost of
production as the farmers in this
county h0va figured it out on the ba-
sis Of the present prices which they
pay for everything.
The farmers filling in this estimate
as general rule figured that the la.
Dor of man and four horses was
about 50 yer cent higher than a few
years ago. The following is an item
lied sta:emet of cost per acre figured
in the basis Of the average of the ten
farmers reporting for this county.
