HAVE WE LOST RESPECT
FOR HUMAN LIFE?

FOR HUMAN LII III
Have we lost all regard for hui
man life? Recent events arouse
the thought that we have. AT
least the use Of the gun is becom-
ing so common that the life OF a
man or a woman seems to possess
but little value when passion and
the lust for blood are once awak-
aned.
The tragedy of the age is told in
a few headlines quoted from the
Commercial Appeal Of Saturday
and Monday. From Columbus,
Ohio, we have "a woman slain"
From another Ohio town we are
told that Arrest at Huntington
May Clear Up Murder" And still
another, Man and Maid Dead, !"
and yet another, young Woman
Victim Of Hotel Tragedy" and vet
another, Find a Young Planter
Murdered, "and still another, Tut
Gets Life Sentence"
There are others that might add
to the length OF the tragic recital,
but there is no use in quoting them
all. There seems to be an cpl
demic OF crime.
One of the most sensational
trials that has been held in the
state of Mississippi is being stag
ed at Cornith. The details are Of
such a character that it is not
worth while to publish them.
In nearly every state in the IN
ion the courts are crowed with
criminal cases.
1t cannot be that the world is
growing worse, but certainly the
regard for human life has cheap
ened.
Possibly the ruthless slaughter
in Europe has had an influence on
the moral fiber of men and women
in America.
The fact will remain upcontra-
dicted that not in many years has
such record Of sensational MUIR
ders been compiled.
Indianapolis is absorbed in the
murder mystery OF a store keeper
killed with a butchers cIeaver,
Boston and New York, as usual,
occupy a conspicuous place in the
limelight.
This growing disregard for hu-
man life is most deplorable There
seems to be a criminal wave sweep.
ing over the country. It is not
only our immediate section that is
sadly affected, but the quiet COM
munities have lately been distrub-
cd by mysterious killings. Last
week six women were tried for
murder and all but one were &C.
quilted. 1t is a difficult matter to
convict a woman, but the fact re-
mains that they killed and violated
one of the gravest laws in our GRIM
inal calendar.
The loss Of respect for human
life applies, it seems, to men and
women alike. Commercial Ap.

SUPREME COURT FIXES
LAW OF COMPENSATION

Two important principles with regard
to workman's compensation as applied to
railroad employees were laid down by the
Supreme Court yesterday in deciding the
suit Of James Winfield against the New
York Central Railway. Winfield. who
lost an eye by an accident not the fault
of the railroad company, won his case in
the lower courts but lost yesterday in the
Supreme Court
The first principle is that in interstate
commerce the Federal and not the State
acts must have Jurisdiction.
The second is that under the Federal
law. as 1t stands at present, negligence
on the part Of the carrier is the test of
whether damages have to be paid:
Justices Brandeis and Clarke dissented

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost OF a small jar OF ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautiher
by squeezing the juice OF two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white. Care should be
taken to strain the juice through a nne
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in. then this
lotion will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
sallowness. freckles and tan. and is the
ideal skin softener smoothener and beau
tifer.
Just try It, Get three ounces OF or
ohard white at any pharmacy and two
lemons from the grocer and make up a
quarter pint Of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck. arms and hands. Il natu-
rally should help to soften, freshen,
bleach and bring out the roses and beauty
Of any skin. It Is wonderful to smooth
on rough red ,hands-Adv.
