Physical Training and
Business Success.

College life is looked at by the
ordinary run of people as soft
snap, a sheltered, protected leisure
ly life. 1t is thought of as kind
of intellectual Pullman car, in which
professors and tutors pull their re-
Taxed passengers over all the heavy
grades of learning. Yet the college
student can be strenuous enough
for the causes that he holds dear.
He may not burn much midnight
electricity. But If he is playing on a
varsity team he will submit to a
code of rules that the ordinary boy
would call barbarous.
Looking over the regulations for
college team, it was noted the other
day that the boys must be in bed
at 10 p. m. Sweets, fried foods,
and many other commonplace of
the dinner table. were cut out. Not
many young men in business would
thus limit themselves for the prize
\ of business success.
Business failures are very apt to
be due to physical causes. People
can't stand the strain of worries and
rush times. Just on the point of
gripping that slippery and elusive
creature Success, the coy and trea-
cherous prize slips out of their weary
grasp. The sanitariums are filled
with business men taking baths and
massage and osteopathy because
their nerves went bad.
OF course people won't hold them
selves down to strict rules of living
And routine life with no breaks
is not wholesome in the long run
But most young men are far too care
less in these matters. They feed
themselves as If they had the stom-
achs of a camel. They sit up to all
hours of the night, taking pleasure
in late hours, as marking them out
for gay sports and gay bloods. But
that game can be played only about
so far. 1t has its sharp limits, as
they all find out. A little more OF
the spirit of the college training tab
le would do them lot of good.

box. and the coins prove too shiny
for some of them.
The former generation of boys
got the idea out of yellow novels
struggled into the house after dark
and read in the haymow or under
the desk at school. Today the
movies publicly offer their constant
story of crime. 1t looks easy as
seen in the films, also as the boy
sees the cash lying around the office.
If no one sees him take 1t, he
thinks he will be undiscovered. But
he is not old enough to understand
that thieves always leave tracks of
one kind or another.
The boy who steals Is fool. Once
he gets a court record. no business
| office will ever take him.
1t Is not SO much the fear of loss
OF what few coins he could pick up
around an office. It is that he has
yellow streak in his nature and
could never be depended on for 10y
al service. When his boyhood as
sociates acquire wealth and position
he will be hopping freight cars at
| remote flag stations, and serving
time periodically in country jails.
Keep straight, boys.

A Great Day
For Utah.

A wave of satisfaction and graft
tude will surge over the fair State
of Utah from one end to the other
upon receipt of the news that the
legislative representatives of the peo-
pie have passed a bill which. with
the promised signature of the gov
ernor, will make prohibition state
wide and effective on August 1, 1917.
This glorious contamination repre-
sents that which has been the pro-
found desire of the great majority
of the people for many years. In
the general gladness that attends
this realization of this hope. past dis
appointments will be swallowed up
and there will be no room for NUT
tered regrets or resentments. Suf-
ficient is the fact that the bright
day has at last dawned, and that,
resolute and unashamed. the Bee
hive State may now take her proud
place in the procession that march
es under the white banner.
The measure which now awaits
the signature of the governor Is be-
lieved by its friends to be thorough
and effective. We like these terms
! better than drastic" which seems
to imply radicalism and violence. A
prohibition law can prohibit without
being drastic, and It Is such a law
that, in the general belief, has now
been provided. If 1t is so carefully
drawn that there can be no chance
for evasion or misinterpretation Of
its terms, It is good enough. Upon
these points, and others that require
Che calm scrutiny of those learned
in the law, it is fitting that the eyes
of the proper officials be trained, SO
that corrections IL needed may be
made while there Is still time. After
that, the executive signature, and

The Dishonest Boy
Question.

Every few days one finds story
in the newspapers about the dishon-
est Office boy. The latest is the
thieving charged against Sc week
youngster in Newton, Mass, who Is
alleged to have robbed a trust COM
pany's cash drawer of nearly $4,000,
Not often does the young dare devil
get any such haul as that. But a
great many promising and bright
faced youngsters mysteriously dis
appear out OF business offices after a
brief career in which their crooked
natures were demonstrated.
The average business man gives
these boys too many chances. He
takes it for granted that everyone
is straight. 1t looks like such per
feet folly for him to steal, that he
can't imagine nature in which any
different idea exists. So 1t happens
that immature youth are sent OF
errands with big rolls OF money
They have easy access to the none!

Burlington road. Then he became 4

He is the originator Of the pneumatic

1t becomes Mr.. Hurlcy's task to build

The Way Our Fighters Are Fed

Uncle Sam has written generous
menus for his fighting men on land
and on sea. and if the regulations
which he has prescribed are followed
his soldiers and sailors need never so
hungry. He provides approximately rs
cents a day to buy food for each one
of his soldiers and a like allowance Is
made for his sailors. To the house,
keeper who has to contend with war
time prices of foodstuffs this sum
seems entirely inadequate, but it must
be remembered that Uncle Sam buys
his supplies in ton lots and not by the
pound.
There is no gucsswork in either the
army or the navy when 1t comes to
determining just how much food a
man shall be given. All this has been
figured out and the person charged
with the responsibility of supplying the
food merely follows certain tables.

food furnished a soldier or sailor each

THE BIGGEST LOCOMOTIVE.

The greatest steam locomotive in the
world has been put into service by
the Baldwin Locomotive works. 1t is
SO gigantic. says The Popular Science
Monthly" that it's boiler had to be
made flexible at three different joints
so that the locomotive could turn
around a curve. 1t is over 100 feet
long and weighs some 4e0 tons. Twen-
ty-four driving wheels. each standing
as high as an average size man, az
ford it's traction.
The driving wheels are distributed
along the length of the locomotive in
sets of four pairs. the wheels Of each
set being coupled together and driven
by two giant steam cylinders. Under
full steam the locomotive can exert an
S3-ton pull onsAhe cars behind it
which means that it can easily haul a
freight train two miles long and $4,000
tons in weight over an ordinarily good
roadbed at an average rate of about
II miles an hour. and possibly more.
