CONVERTING ENGLAND

What has long been clung to by the Englishman almost as an inalienabie right seems to stand a fair chance of being changed through the influence of the automobile. This is the custom that has always prevailed in England of keeping to the left of the road, which was the opposite of the practice followed
 in most other countries.
 With horse-drawn vehicles, where the driver customarily sat on the right with his whip-hand free for use. there wps at feast show of reason for keep ing to the left since passing on that side was convenient for gauging dis tance to avoid collision. But in the au. tomobile it makes no difference on which side the drivers seat is placed. %The advantage of uniform custom however can be seen for touring and for interna. tional trade.
 England has been brought face to face with a dilemma on the rdles of the road since British automobile manufacturers have been working for a law to bal from the roads all cars with left hant
 drive. This would exclude most foreign
 cars, which is exactly what the manu. lecturers want to do as they have theil eye on the British lnarke Opponent ts of the measure argue that it would be a short-sighted policy for it would bs easy enough for other countries to re- taiiate and bar British cars from theil markets as we'll as put an end tc touring Europe in British made motor cars. . There is said to be developing g strong sentiment in favor Of adopting 1T England the prevailing international rule by which traffic keeps to the right The result would do away with the right ] hand drive to which British manufact urcrs cling and would at the same tirnt simplify matters for British motorists when they travel to other countries a: well as for foreign tourists who tou1 England. The left-hand drive is favored in cars Of American make and meets the conditions better when the rule is tc pass to the right. It remains to be seer
 whether the Engiishman can be induced to shake off the old habit to which hs has chung so long.

JAIL FOR A HoARDFE

The sentence by Judge Howe of a zG7 who had 2o0,o pounds of sugar iz storage to two years in the Atlanta pezttenuzry is intended as warning ss rrontesrs and hosrders. The Judge s2is: T hope this sentence will have szk1tary effect. Jail sentences will. Fam sure, go a long way toward halt ing both prehteering anu boarding"
 The Judge further explained that this vas the first case in which he had had n opportunity to impose a prison sem tenes fer this offence He has had cor porstions convicted before him. but he o11id only impose fines upon them.

FACTS REGARDING THE
 CARE OF THE BABY By .. s. Public Health Service.
Habits and Training. tcontinued., 7,


 Toys: Since baby wants to put every
 thing in his mouth. his toys must be
 those that can be used safely in this
 waS They should be washable and
 should have no sharp points or corners
 to hurt the eyes. Painted articles, or
 hairy and woody toys also toys having
 loose parts. such as balls or objects
 small enough to be swallowed are un- safe and should never be given a child
 baby should never have too many toys at one time. A handful of clothes pins. or silver teaspoon on tineup, will please just as much as an expensive dcll or other toy. It is 9 good plan tp have a box Or basket in which to keep empty spools and other household objects with which the baby may play.
 Moral Training: 4 little child does not know right from wrong until he is taught by older persons, He follows his own fancy and lets his little hands and feet do mischief, not knowing that he is dc- ing anything which will cause others or himself to come to grief For this req son, older persons must be ready to guide .. the baby and teach him the right method of behavior.
 But that does not mean that he should be forbidden continually to dc this or that or the other. A child should have. from his very early infancy. the oppor- tuIlitS u tl1OOSiilS u uO LhlitSS HlillSSlI If he is not allowed to do this, he won t know how to reason and choose for him. self when he grows older and is oblig- ed to do it.
 On the other hand. it is necessary for a child to learn obedience. and a wise mother will train her child to obey: not, however, to obey a command because I told you to do it." but because it is a pleasure to do so.
 Harsh treatment or punishment has no place in the proper upbringing of the 1 baby. If a baby's inclinations lead him 1 in the wrong direction, some one must be at hand to guide him into another and better one and to turn his eager interest and his energy toward some 1 thing that will amuse but not harm him 1 This is the golden rule for the train 1 ing of babies and one which applies to the training of children of all ages. 1 Usually there is some reason for the i naughtiness of babies. The babies who i are fussy, restless and fretful are usually l eitiler uncomfortable in someway be- | cause they have not been fed properly | and taken care of are sick or ailing, or 1 have been indulged too much. On the 1 other hand, babies who are fed proper ly. who are kept clean and have plenty 1 of sleep and from air. and who love been trained in regular habits of life l have no cause for being bad" and 1 therefore are good"

 try to take the Bible out of the houses.
 There was a time when they even burned

 cuts deep. Hebe. 4:12, and if it is put
 away with they think all things will be all right But they will have to go
 some to make it so I know there is an
 objection among some people to teaching
 children doctrines of any kind. because
 they are liable to be controverted. The
 Bible, when not read in schools is sell dom read in any subsequent period of
 life. The following words are from
 Dr. Martin Luther and to the point Above all things. let the Scriptures be the chief and most frequently used read ing book both in primary and in high schools Is it not proper and right that every human being by the time he has reached his tenth year, should be fa- miliar with the Holy Gospels, in which the very core and marrow of his life is bound?

Pres. Wilson And Governor Cox.

Mir Editor: The democratic enemies of President Wilson secured the nomin- atior af Governor Cox for the presi- dency of the United States at the San Francisco convention.
 But Governor Cox has now deserted these democrats by coming to agree with President Wilson as to the meaning Of the democratic platform and it's sufficien- cy for the fulfilling of the promise made in the league by Mir Wilson.
 After an interview, Governor Cox pub lished statement in which he said: "We are agreed as to the meaning and sui tieieney of the democratic platform and the duty of the party in the face of threatened bad faith to the world in the name of America What he promised, I shall, if elected, en- deavor with all my strength to give"
 And President Wilson made g. state ment in which he said: ''I find what I already knew, and what Governor Cox has let the world know in his speech es, that he and were absolutely as one with regard to the great issue of the League of Nations. Gov ernor Cox will have the vigorous SUD- port of an absolutely united party, and am confident also of an absolutely unit ed nation
 But can a sane man think that Gov ernor Cox will have the support of an absolutely united party. and of an ab- solutely united nation at this time Will the democratic enemies of Mir Wilson, who secured the nomination of Governor Cox at the San Francisco con- vention, vote for him now that he Is absolutely as one" with President Will son in regard to the League of Nations and has stated that if elected he will en- deavor with all his strength. ''to give'' what MT. Wilson promised? ?''
 Will the multitudes of men and women who differ with MT. Wilson as to what the moral obligations of America to the world are. and who want the League of Nations changed in such a way as to 1 leave the independence of the United States undiminished, vote for Governor Cox, now that he is absolutely as one" with President Wilson in regard to the League of Nations, and has stated that , if elected he will endeavor with all his
