The fact that both the Repub-
lican and Democratic National
Conventions were asked to in
corporate planks in their plat
forms endorsing physical train
ing schools, child hygiene, safe
guards in maternity, and Gov
eminent control of venereal dis
eases is an evidence of the awak-
ening of public opinion to the
value of the lessons taught by
war. 1t is true that polititions
were a little averse to these in
novations of advanced tn
ought, but they were not entire
ly ignored, and in future polite
al councils must be considered
as part in the concentrations of
our resources.
The development of a perfect
American manhood and woman
hood with an ideal home life, is
just as much a matter of gov
ermental policy as the develop
ment of water power or the
creation of an adequate mer-
chant marine, and any country
that neglects it will pay the
same penalty that has been paid
by other nations. Rome grew
morally strong and physically
invincible under Christian
Constantine but rapidly decay
ed under the Apostate Julian.
Morality promotes strength,
physical fitness and unclouded
judgement. Social evils under
mine manhood and prostitute
womanhood, and cast stigma on
the unborn future. 1t is well re-
conized fact, "Men and woman
of pleasure seldom give to the
world sons of genius or daught-
ers of virture.

Why does "A truck have four CYL
inders? Manufacturers of trucks
have never varied from the four
cylinder principle in truck construc-
ton. This is Il fact which the lay
man does not usually realize. but 1t
is well known to every business firm
operating fleets of trucks To be
sure. there is a good reason back OF

is exclusively a truck builder puts n
four-cylindcr motor into his truck.
but even the manufacturers of the
SIX, eight and twclvc-cyiinder motor
cars who also make trucks have
never transgrcssed this principle
The reason is plain. Muiti-cylindcr
engines lack the stamina. the sturdy.
persistent power required TO pull
heaT: loads. They cannot stand the
constant lax OF heavy duty as well AS
the tours. Hence. the supremacy Of
