Bonus and Loan.

The proposal to pay big bonus to
every man who served in the army has
received much support in Congress.
Congressional enthusiasm for it, how
ever, has been somewhat chilled by the
statement of Secretary Of the Treas
ury Glass, that if this bonus proposal
goes through, it will necessitate anoth-
Her Liberty Loan.
It sounds, at first, like fine gem
erous and commendable thing to give
every ex-soldier 5000 or $500 or $400
in the name Of a grateful country. On
sober second thought it occurs that
that money must be raised somehow,
that it will take billion dollars or
more, and that, as Secretary Glass
says, the gift would be "made at the
expense Of the soldiers fathers, moth
ers and sisters and the children that
are to come after them, in order to
give them holiday
There are SO many veterans and they
are so widely scattered, that it is prob
ably correct to say that half of the
money, at least, would come from their
own families and close relatives in the
form Of income taxes and indirect taxes
thus giving another boost to the cost
of living.
It does not appear that the rank
and file of the soldiers have urged such
legislation. They trained and fought
unselfishly, as service to their coun-
try. Many Of them would probably
consider this proposal an affront to
their patriotism. How can any Of them
urge it if they clearly realize what it
means9 And how can congressman
have the nerve to make SO costly bid
for the soldier vote

the present time a number Of Martin
machines driven by two Liberty motors
form part Of the fleet These machines
can carry 1900 pounds of mail at high
speed, considerable more than the air
boats first used in the service.
"There are no difficulties or com
plications confronting him who would
avail himself Of this fast mail service
to New York. To have letter go by
air mail only two things are necessary.
No. is that the letter be mailed in
time or delivered to the flyer on the
lake front in time. The other is that
the envelope be marked "Air Mail y.
No special stamps and no extra post
age are required. The postal rate by
air and the rate by train are the same.
The provisions for special delivery ser
vice are identical and a special deliv-
cry letter sent by air mail from Chi
cage can be delivered in New York
the same day. !"

The veil.

Now it is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
who believes his spirit has pierced the
veil which divides the living from the
dead. This is his statement:
II was in darkened room with five
men, my wife, and an amateur medium.
The medium was bound in six places
with string. My wife gave cry.
Then / heard my son IS voice. He said
Father answered Yes, my son.
He said Forgive me-. I knew to what
he referred. We had only one differ
ence in all his lifetime--his nonbeliaf
in spiritualism. ] treasured him. He
said, am 50 happy Then his voice
faded
81 state definitely that spoke to
my son and heard his voice. would
be the most blasphemous liar if what
/ have told yon is not true"
The sincerity Of Sir Arthur cannot
be questioned But the facts are still
open. Sir Arthur firmly believes that
he heard his son S voice. But may he
not have heard his own memory of his
SON IS voice-his own desire? One s
sub-conscious mind is such vast treas
ure house of unexplored mysteries, its
guardians play such tricks upon the OBJ
jective mind sometimes!
There is no question among open
minded people Of the possibility of
communication between the living and
the dead. Records of such communi-
cations stand in the sacred books of all
religions. And many things are posi-
BILE which are as yet undreamed Of.
But this is sure-the veil is never
lifted for any hippant converse, for
any silly or unnecessary message. I'm
less the intimation from the other
world is of unquestionable dignity, of
unquestionable usefulness to the reci-
pient, unless it comes through chan
mel of unquestionable dignity and sim
certify, it can be safely branded as
false.
Tying the medium up with string is
not convincing. Palladino could pro-
duce phenomena " no matter what her
bonds. 1t seems hardly necessary that
there be a medium at all for real
message, The multiplication Of fakes
Of this sort at this time is serious
thing. Too many people have lost
brave young friends in the past few
years, The field is fertile.
Perhaps the Wise Knower Of All
Things sometimes lifts the veil for a
moment. Perhaps sometimes he
strengthens the sight so that it may
see through the veil for moment But
for those who rudely try to tear it,
She end is madness.

Health eowns.

"That the health of babie md
adults is actually an asset" has been
proved in three-year experiment. fl
nanced partly by the Metropolitan In
surance Company, which voted to give
the National tuberculosis Society
100000 to establish "health town -
and partly by the town itself which
helped in material way by raising the
per capita amount to be spent in the
interest Of the public health sixty-one
per cent" says the Literary Digest.
"The soundness of the investment is
thus pointed out in American Medi-
cine," New York;:
"When level-headed insurance direc-
tors spend such large sum of their
company's money, they naturally expect
it to bear interest, however indirectly
it may be. birmingham, Mass, was
chosen for the experiment The lead
ing spirits of the town, level-headed
business men, saw a good opportunity
for investing the towns money, and
raised the per capita expenditure for
public health from thirty-nine cents to
one dollar. The purpose sof this ex-
pertinent was to show that in many
cases sickness and death, particularly
tuberculosis, can be eliminated by med
ical treatment and careful nursing,
personal hygiene and adequate health
administration. The experiment. prov
ed an unqualified success. In 1916,
before the experiment was begun,
eighty-one babies per thousand died
during the first year of the experiment
this was promptly reduced to sixty-one
per thousand. Previous to the inaug-
uration of health conditions in this
town of 10000 souls, III persons died
in one year from tuberculosis. In the
first year of the test this was reduced
to ninety-nine deaths, in the second
year to seventy mine, in the third year
to seventy-six-a this reduction oc-
cured while the town increased in
population At the end of three years
the town leaders We're well satisfied
that their investment Of sixty.one
cents excess tax for health was an ex-
ceedingly profitable one. The directors
of the insurance company felt that
their 100000 experiment was begin
ming to pay them better than if it had
been sunk in first mortgages. Health
towns, it was discovered, paid. The
health of babies and adults was actu-
ally an asset +" which could be meas
ured in dollars and cents. We beg the
indulgence OF Legislators for our care

START WORK FOR
TAX COLLECTIONS
Clerks in Treasurer ONCE Begin Max
ing Out Receipts Now With View
of Hurrying Collections.

City Treasurer George Lauer began
work this morning to get his Office
ready for the annual stream of gold
from the collection of the taxes He
started a force of assistants at work,
making out the tax receipts and the
books are being borrowed + from the
clerk s Office in order to make possible
this advance work. The books will be
turned over to the treasurer a week
from next Monday. This is the time
set by the state law and while there
is monumental lot of work to be done
by the clerk and his assistants, he has
never failed to be ON time and he is
not going TO fail this time. The finance
committee of the council expects to
have some early payments Of taxes this
year. Many Of the large industries of
the city have given the assurance that
they will help the city out with early
payments of the assessments against
them. As the city is paying interest," on
a considerable amount of borrowed
money, the early payments will help
materially in reducing the city'a ex-
pense.

extravaganza, and by preeept and ex-
ample, to aid the schools ir the teach
ing of thrift, as patriotic dpty and as
means of meeting this great social
and economic crisis. As a practical
plan of proeedur', we advocate the
following steps:
"First The teaching Of the prinei-
pies of thrift as regular part of the
school program.
Second The setting up of suitable
administrative school machinery to en-
able and encourage children to invest
in thrift and war savings stamps.
Third-The checking of extravaganza
IN dress among school boys and girls
manifested in many ways, but especially
in the purchase of silk hosiery, silk
shirts, neckties and expensive footwear.
To this endswe recommend that school
boards and teachers insist upon reason
able economy and modesty in dress and
we appeal to parents and pupils to
cooperate in the efforts to check such
extravaganza
Fourth-That thrift education be
regarded as a continuous process in
volving habit formation that must be
directed and controlled outside of
school as well as during school attend
anee.

At the general meeting of the teach
-ers ON Monday night, the teachers read
and adopted the declaration of princi-
pies concerning thrift education which
was adopted by the state superinten-
dents of public instructions in several
western states at a recent congress.
The superintendent whose signatures
are attached to this declaration of
principles are; Josephine Corliss Pres
ton, superintendent public instruction
Of Washington; G. w. Child, Utah; W.
-. Hpting, Nevada; Ethel =. Redfeld
Idaho; Will G. Wood, California; j. w
Churchill, Oregon.
The declaration in full is:
I'VE are living in a period of excep-
tional extravaganza and high prices
Never in the history Of the nation has
there been such waste of time, labor,
money and materials. During the war,
the people Of America were told that
thrift would win the war-that we
should save food, clothing and money.
The people responded to the drives that
were made and saved, sometimes until
it hurt. 1t is evident, however, that
the practice of thrift has not carried
over. On the contrary, there has been
a reaction that has now reached the
point of danger We therefore feel
that a concerted effort should be made
to check extravaganza and promote
thrift as life habit.
Thrift is the saving of four things
time, talent, health and money. 1t
needs no argument to show that these
things are essential in the life of the
nation. The world will not be safe and
stable until there is a greater cOnserva-
ton of these things. Our nation is fac
ing winter of unpreparedness. Unless
the prices of shoes, hats, clothing, milk,
butter, eggs, potatoes, flour, fuel and
other necessaries are reduced the child
rem Of the nation will suffer. At such
a time it is alarming that people of
small means should make extravagant
and unnecessary purchases, and even
anticipate their income by making
such purchases on time. Children grow
ing up under such conditions are GER
tain to develop false ideals and form
extravagant habits.
'sIn the interest of the future citi-
zenry of America, the state superin
tendents of public instruction in the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District ap-
peal to our people to do everything in
their power TO discourage and check

Kenoshans, especially Kenosha bust

get their mail to the aviation field in
Chicago by 10 O'Clock Of morning
they can reach New York from there

In speaking Of this matter "Chica-

the Chicago Association of Commerce
says:
s'The business distance between Chi
cago and New York is five hours, sew
enteen minutes and two cents. This
punching up of the big seaport toward
the s'great central market is due to
the introduction of the airplane mail
service which now offers Chicago busi-
ness men a quick means of communica-
ton with their New York connections.
Much attention was attracted to
the air mail service when it was stat
ed but in recent months the organiza
ten has gone about its work Sc quiet
" that it has in large measure dropped
from tie public notice. Nevertheless,
the ser7rice has been steadily improved
until at the present time il offers bust
ess rms a speedy and reliable mail

The record for the flight from Chi
cago lake front to New York City is
five hours and seventeen minutes but
the trip is made day after day in well
under six hours and with no more in
terruption than a railway train ex-
periences. There is this difference
aud it works TO the disadvantage OF
the air mailservice at times-that no
attention is made to train delays while
