to the government for health recreation, entertainment,
 baths, and for many other things. The results are not good. We are rearing a gen.
 eration of dependents. It
 is not good for any govern
 ment to have a people en-
 tirely dependcntonit. And,
 as for the people, it reduces them to the status of adult babies. Much of the so- called "community" work is only institutionalizing the normal impulses of the peo- pie. We want individuality in America, independence and equality. Wecan never reach it by making the peo- pie the moral dependents of the Government or any Gov ernment agency Henry Ford.

 No man, no body of men, no association of interests working in collision or cor poration however gigantic, can maintain these unnat- ural and exhorbitant war prices. What Ford has done in his far reaching vision other men must do or they cannot survive.

initiative receives the seal of the order. which consists of three cuts with sharp flint down the length of his back and clear through the skln. The proces- sion to the cross starts early in the morning. and of this l have been a witness,
 Picture a little village of ado be huts in a mountain canyon. bleak and sterile. spotted with the melting snows of spring and swept by a keen March wind. Day light has just come and the village is just stirring; shiver- ing boy drives a flock of goats up the mountain, g black. shawl ed woman goes to the creek for water; blue smoke curIs from half a dozen chimneys. On a hilltop is gathered a little knot of watchers.
 From around a bend in the canyon comes a moDotonous, lu- gubrious chant and the crazy screeching music of sort of fife. Then the procession of the penitentes comes into sight. Perhaps there are forty of them. Each is naked save for pair of white cotton drawers and a black bandage around his eyes. The foremost impersonates Christ and drags a huge wooden cross perhaps ten feet high. The back of each penitente is covered with blood which has run down to his heels, making long parallel stripes on his bree- ches. Some of them beat them selves and other beat those who walk in front. of them. The whip is a huge, flat, two-handed affair made by plating strands of the amole weed or Spanish bayonet. The blows resound like the noise made by shaping a man with q wet towel. for each of the whips is wet with blood.
 The procession slowly takes it's way to a high and lonely hill top, where the honored one who has been elected to act the part of Christ is fastened upon the

ANOTHER WARNING

Therecent explosion which rocked New York's fnancia center, killing and injuring several hundred people, brings wildly to mind the San Francisco and Los An. geles bomb outrages and the leniency which has beer shown the perpetrators ir each case.
 In every one of the bomb explosions it has been labor ing men and women who were killed.
 And yet we find organized labor in Great Britain, incur country and Canada passing resolutions and demanding that radical political prison CTS be released and that the various governments recog- nize revolutionary leaders in different parts of the world, all of whom if given power would overthrow every vestige of law, order and rights-in the interest of or ganized lawlessness.
 We think we are safe in this country and that our industry and wealth is pro- tected, when all the time we are allowing yellow jour nals, yellow politicians, in- dividual destructionists and every breed of preachers of discontent to undermine our public consciousness with their appeals to class hatred and revolution.
 A sound public conscious ness is the rock of founda- tion upon which our govern ment is built. If we allow this to be undermined our whole governmental struc- ture may crumble when we least expect it.
 In this presidetial year, one of the most important in our history, we witness less interest in the election than has ever before been mani tested.
 The New York catastro- phe may help bring the peo- pie to their senses.

HENRY FORD POINTS THE WAY

Henry Ford is both a great merchant and a great man. ufacturer. He could never have become the preat pro- ducer he is if he had not been a great merchant. It is because Ford is the out standing genius of the auto mobile world as a merchant that he has become the out standing genius of the auto mobile world as a producer.
 The Ford automobile is primarily what it has come to be because Ford had greater genius than any of his competitors in the distri- button of bis car. With the price right and his selling organization right . the pro- duction of his car became a matter of ways and means of keeping up with the de- mand. And as the output increased the costof produc- tion decreased, and as this decrease in cost was deduct ed by the. great merchant from the selling price the de- mand automatically increas- ed.
 In his early days Henry Ford was a mechanic. at the bench. It was as a mechan- ic that he dreamed out the now world famous Ford car. He had never been a mer- chant, and never fancied that he was endowed with the qualities of a merchant. though it was as a merchant that he was and is nothing short of a genius of the first order.
 And now he has given us fresh evidence of his vision as a matchless distributor of the products of his man. moth workshops in the dras- tic slashing of prices to pre- war levels.
 In this stroke he has point ed the way for all other pro-

LIVING COSTS ON THE TOBOGCAN

Inflated fundamental com modities, wheat, corn, cot ton and other agricultural products, are in the lead o1 the slide which has started down the price toboggan, although meat at the pres ent is up. Behind them drops the inflated market valuations of textiles, metal goods and other manufac- lures. When inflated labor gets off it's perch then the inflated cost of living will hit the bottom.
 Never before in the his tory of the world were so many incompetent workmen forced on the employers.
 The further the costs of producing the necessaries of life descend from the abnor- nal clouds toward the nor mai level of solid footing, the lower the cost of living will go. The lower the cost of living goes, the more val ue goes into every dollar that anybody has in his in- vestment, in his bank or in his pocket.
 If the farmers wheat at $1 a bushel will exchange into more of the things he needs than his bushel of wheat would exchange into at $2.26 he is better off. If the wage earner's s wage will buy him more and bet ter food, more and better clothing, more and better housing than his inflated S4, $5 and $6 wage would buy him, his condition is corres- pondingly improved.
 If the country can do more, get more and save more out of normal wages, normal prices and normal living mo- body ought to obstruct the deflation which has now set in. Everybody farmer and manufacturer, capitalist and la laborer-ought to do his part to squeeze out still more of the unproftable but dangerous initiation.
 Let Ter slide!

cross. Formerly he was nailed, and often he died. Now he is generally fastened with ropes, which is bad enough, since he often turns purple from arrested circulation of the blood.
 Thus does the penitente, in the medieval simplicity of his faith, express his belief in the potency of Christ's sacrifice. If Jesus bled to atone for the sins of men, why should not the peni- tente bleed for his own sins?

HERMANOS PENITENTES
BY eREDERIcKJ. HAsNN

| her citizens are retlcent, The l Navajos and the Pueblos, the
 horned toads and the mountains,
 the. sunshine and the scenery are
 all brought to the attention of
 the visitor with craft and unc-
 ton. But little or nothing IS
 said about the Hermanos Peni-
 tentes. Picturesque they un-
 doubtedly are, and thrilling to
 look upon, but no sightseeing
 parties are organized to witness
 their rites.
 The penitent brothers, or Her
 manos Penitentes, are a religious
 fraternity, long since outlawed
 by the church, the members of
 which practice whipping, crucifiction and other physical tortures asa penance for their sins. The practice originated in
 the Middle Ages in Spain, when it was in good standing with the church. It was brought to this country by the Spanish conquer DTS. It appears, although no- thing definite can be learned of the matter. that some sort of flagellant society exists among the Indians here. From the mingling of these two sects, one Christian and one pagan, among the peons of mixed Indian and Spanish blood, sprang the pre- sent organization of the Herma- nos Penitentes.
 At one time nearly all the na- tiyes of peon blood were mem bers of it's chapters. Gradually it's membership has declined, dwindliDg to a few old-timers who lash their backs but feebly and deplore the changing times. On the other hand. in a certain mountain town far from a rail- road, where the life of the na- tives goes on much like It did a hundred years ago. we are told that five hundred penitentes were seen not long ago in a single procession. Itis probably a fair statement of the case to say that the penitentes sect is declining and doomed every where except in the remote mountain sections where modern influences have been little felt.
 The penitentes are a true sur vival of the Age of Faith. In them is the medieval soul. alive and unchanged, with it's unshak- able faith in redemption and inn mortality, it's high scorn of blood and death. They present step in the progress of man. They are brutal and bloody, if you will. but have dignity, high | courage and faith-thlngs that | the race is everywhere losing now. They deserve to be studi- ed sympathetically rather than ignored,
 Our feeling of superiority toward them is a little uncalled ! for, too. The ctNracteristics of their fraternity are. after all. the characteristics of fraternal organizations everywhere. All such organizations have mystical beliefs and pompous ceremonies. which seem a bit absurd to all | but the participants. In all of them the initiates are treated with more or less cruelty. Nearly every fall brings forth the record of freshman or two killed in limitations to college After all, the diff ference between a penitente chapter and a college fraternity is not so great. The penitentes are more sincere and take punish nent better.
 The penitente rites are truly things to witness. What goes on inside the morada ,r chapter house is supposed never to be seen by outsiders, put it is known that there the lC

480 Bodies of U-Boat
Victims To Be Exhumed
Relatives Ask Return of Kin
Who Perished on the Tus-

PARIS, June DISCRIMINATION Of the
bodies of 4S9 American soldiers which
were washed upon the rocky shores of
the Island of Islay, off the Scottish
coast, after the sinking of the trans
ports Tuscana and Otranto, in 1918,
will be started July /, it was announced
here to-day
The Scottish clan. which inhabits
the lonely spot, has taken the most
tender care of the graves, and the chief
had given a pledge that the clan would
look after the graves as if they were
its own until the end of time The
chief pleaded that the bodies be left
on the island, but the relatives in
many cases wished the return Of the
bodies, and it was decided by the
Graves Registration Service to remove
them all.
The coast of Islay is so steep and
rocky that the collins will have to be
carried down steep trails cut in the
rocks or lowered by ropes and tackles
to waiting barge, which will convey
them to transport standing off shore.
