AT THE GENEVA REF oRMAToRY.

Disclosures made before the legislative inves-
tigating committee Of doings At the Geneva
School for Girls are such a. must shock people
of ordinary sensibilities. The state of affairs dis
covered at this institution, and which resulted in
the dismissal of Miss Mcmahon from the super
intendcncy, scarcely has been improved if what
is told of Superintendent McAuey be true.
Girls who are sent to this reformatory are
either abnormal or subnormal They are not
responsive to treatment accorded entirely nor
NAL individuals. This being true, it is also true
that to maintain discipline, secure order, and
bring about the results sought for, the govern
ment of the institution must be rigid in its
general aspects, and carried on in such fashion
as will impress the highly sensitive as we'll as
the duller of the inmates. Punishment may be
administered, and in such manner as will not
leave its victim under misapprehension.
Admitting all this which is elemental, we
submit that it hardly COMFORTS with the dignity
of the great state of Nebraska that the head
Of the girls reformatory should bring forth re-
fractory inmates and spank them in presence of
invited guests, as feature of the weekend
party. 1t may engage certain type Of mind
to watch the administration of spanking to a
girl clothed only in .nighte," but the specta-
Gle is hardly one to be looked for in an enlight-
ened community.
We must have reform schools, and homes
for unfortunate girls but in the name of all that
is reasonable, let us have them 50 conducted
that their management will not be source of
continual reproach to the public.

Some years ago promoters OF tfansoceanic
aerial navigation gave out an elaborate account
of how the upper currents Of the atmosphere
had been charted. 1t was then alleged the Ger
mans had the advantage of all the secret knowl-
edge of this essential information, and conse-
quently were in position to command the enter
prise. Now comes from London the startling
statement that "air rocks" have been discov-
cred off Newfoundland Of a character that may
preclude airplane flight from Ireland this way,
but will greatly facilitate passage the other.
This is distressing. If memory serves rightly,
"The Flight of the Midnight Mail" described
by Kipling, was from over there in this direc-
tion and was accomplished with little difficulty,
beyond rescuing the survivors of an air-ship
wrecked going the other way. Perhaps the
rocks" are better understood now than they
were then. 1t is comforting to think that aerial
navigators are already warned of their existence.
Just as soon as we think the way is smooth and
clear, up bobs something like this, but we will
yet be permitted to read Of transatlantic flights,
and maybe the school kids of the next genera
ton will have an opportunity of learning of the
air lanes as completely as have those of today
concerning sea lanes.

FAITH SERENE.

"Iittle man. why so ?"-Emerson.
You blaze when men assail your faith.
And toryism wakes your ire:
Can you not summon up the wrath
OF Bruno in his shroud OF fire2
You fume and fret at skeptic sneers,
And unbeliefs eternal clack:
Can you not cross the bridge OF years
To Calico on the rack?
These men OF old who spread the light
And died Of torture and neglect
Had much to hazard for the right
You merely stake your self-respect.
These men, who preached with holy zeal
The things that every schoolboy knows,
Were bent and broken on the wheel
BY ruthless and fanatic foes.
But clear the anger from your brow;
Men are no longer racked and whipped
The ruthless hand is palsied now,
And prosecutions claws are clipped.

Four women--a lawyer, a poet, an

The Quick Way to
Stop a Cough
This homemade syrup does the
work In n hurry. Easily pre-
pared, md saves about 81.

You might be surprised to know
that the best thing you can use for
a severe cough, is a remedy which is
easily prepared at home in just a few
moments. It's cheap. but for prompt
results it beats anything else you ever
tried. Usually stops the ordinary
cough or chest cold in "a hours.
Tastes pleasant, too-children like it
and it is pure and good.
Pour Il ounces of PineX in a pint
bottle; then fill it up with plain granu-
lated sugar syrup. Or use clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead
of sugar syrup, if desired. Thus you
make a full pint-a family supply
but costing no more than a small bot
tie of ready-made cough syrup.
And as a cough medicine, there Is
really nothing better to be had at any
price. 1t goes right to the spot and
gives quick, lasting relief. 1t promptly
heals the inflamed membranes that
line the throat and air passages, stops
phleEm, and soon your cough stops en-
tiroly. Splendid for bronchitis, Group,
hoarseness and bronchial asthma.
PineX is a highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway pine extract, famous
for its healing effect on the mem
branes
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "21z ounces of PineX"
with directions and don't accept any
thing else Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.
