LAW Am oRpER

Successful self-government in
the smallest political unit is the only
guaranty of successful self-govern-
ment in a great country such as
ours. There are many evidences that
this type of government is breaking
down in America. More and more
frequently the village, the town and
the city finds that il cannot main
tain order without outside help. This
is one of the gravest symptoms of
the times. Whenever a town per-
mits the due and orderly processes
OF government to be interrupted by
mob that town is no longer an as
set, but becomes a liability TO re-
public. For, multiply that town by
a sufficient number, and you have a
situation in which only an army can
rule. And no self-governing coun-
: try was ever yet ruled successfully
by force of arms. erin.
The primary duty of every polit-
ical division, no matter how small,
is TO keep its own house in order
Men are too prone in these days,
when disorder threatens, to call for
soldiers. Soldiers will always be
needed and must be used if they
are the only means to maintain the
law. For, at whatever cost, the
law must remain supreme. In ey-
cry nation there must be some one
or some thing supreme, to whom OF
to which all must yield obedience
In an empire it is the emperor. In
a kingdom 1t is the king. In a re.
public, the only majesty is the ma.
jes;y OF The law Whoever does VIC.
lenCe 10 the law is laying profane
hands upon the sovereignty Of the
people. Let it be remembered
however, that every time outside
force in any community, is employ,
ed, il is a confession of weakness
in the foundations. in fact, of our in
situations. The municipality must

instead of meeting to pass resolu-
tons calling for troops, should or

forces and offer themselves TO the
peace officers OF their city TO uphold
the law.

TRAINING TEACHERS.

One-half of the 100000 teachers
in the United States have had no
special training for their work. A
green hand, on obtaining a job in a
factory, has to begin by sweeping up
floors or doing other kinds of work
calling for the minimum of intelli-
gence.
But a great many people consider
that a green hand is all right to put
brains into the children. If that is
about the kind of professional skill
they are willing to. pay for, it is
about the grade of educational result
they will get. s.-
Teaching is not something you can
pick up the way you can moving a
lawn or washing dishes. 1t is a diff
ficu1t art, requiring knowledge of the
principles governing the child mind.
There will not be good schools until
the teachers have adequate profess
siona1 education for their responsible
and difficult task. That means pay
ing them enough so they cam afford
to acquire 1t.

ATTEMPTS MADE
TO ABOLISH
BUL-BOARDS

Reports from an optimistic Western
town show the populace undaunted
by that ever-present necessary evil
the billboard. Instead the billboard
Is being used as the chief adornment
of a garden or terrace, the center Of
a boulevard. At least gardens and
grass plots are being fashioned
around them in an effort to enhance
their beauty, or soften their ugliness,
however you look at it. Members of
the Y. w. G. A. High School clubs
conceived this ''village-improveme
idea and with the cooperation of adj
vertfsers who supplied grass and
fowcr-seed and of city Transfers who
hauled dirt and sod, they have sue
ceeded in lessening the necessary evil
to a considerable degree. They have
even put UP vine-covered trellises
against some biH4boards, an improve
ment, we are sure, upon the pseudo
Greek columns that frame some Of our
famous 1ife-siZed ads.

BRILLIANT
HUES USED FOR
FALL UMBRELLAS

Latest creations in new umbrella
silks for the fall are in taffeta and
include plaids in varied sized checks
and some nigh co1ors, as well as navy,
black and brown. A new color is
something like a peach, having a yell
low base with a touch of red that
gives it a warm glow. This seems to
be the most popular on their list now.
Demand for these silks has been
good, it is reported by merchants here.
Manufacturers say that demand for
umbrella silks has developed percepti-
bly, of late and is now larger than it
was a month ago The past week IL
has gone ahead rapidly, but has hard
~ become stabilized after the holiday.
In the past, a larger part of the
umbrella silks were of dark or rather
somber colors, but within a year or SO
increased demands for brighter colors
have come in and the demand for fall
seems to bear out this statement. The
Improvement is in the brighter shades,
though all are to some extent af-
fected.
Navy and brown are among the
largest sellers. though it is said that
the plaids have moved out fully as
well this past month as any other
The quality of the silk is better than
it used to be, with the weight suffi-
cient to insure good service.

DIR, WILKES TO
CONDUCT Child
WELFARE drive

DR.. Leroy Wilkes, recently made
chairman of the American Child lily
giene association, in Connecticut, Will
soon conduct as part of the ma
tional program, a membership drive
throughout the state to enroll 143
members in the association who are
interested in child welfare work ana
who are at present connected in some
way with the Child Hygiene program
of the various health departments in
the state.
During the baby welfare campaign
recently carried on by the Health
Department here from June 10, 519
calls were made by the Visiting
Nurses association with the follow
ing results: Out of the 519, II were
found dead, 80 had moved away, Al
had given the wrong addresses and
the remaining 419 were found in
good condition. The large percent
age of well babies were due largely to
the proper teachings of the public
nurses.
AS result of the campaign, it is
expected that the needs of-the moth
er and babe will he better taken

FESTIVAL OF THE MIRACLES

Among the religious festivals pecu-
liar to many Belgian cities, is the
Festival of the Miracles, which is
held in Brussels every July. This
celebration lasts for fifteen days. 1t
always commences on the first Sun
day following the thirteenth of July.
The principal feature of the feast is
the public procession of the Holy
Sacrament of the Miracles. This pro-
cession always takes place the
first day Of the festival. During the
late war the observance of the unique
religious rite dwindled to small
scale but now that Belgium is emery
ing from the chaos caused by the
great conflict the festival is again
assuming it's former Importance.
The origin of the Festival of the
Miracles is based upon an interesting
legend which dates back to the four
tenth century. This legend runs that
in the year 1900 a wealthy jew named
Jonathan dwelt in England. This
Hebrew was a bitter foe of Chris
tianity Jonathan coveted some sa-
cred waters for profane purposes. In
order to procure these waters Jona-
than obtained the aid Of one Joan de
Louvain. De Louvain lived in Brus-
sells and had renowned the religion
of his forebears. Upon being offered
a. rich bribe by Jonathan, this jew
agreed to make an attempt to gain
possession Of the consecrated waters.
Accordingly on a dark night he en-
tered the church of ST. Catherine in
Brussels, by means Of a window and
stole the pix containing the sacred
waters. These he, delivered to Jona-
than and received the reward. A few
DAYS later Jonathan was murdered on
the grounds Of his mansion. The
identity Of his assaflants was never
learned.

turned over the sacred waters to a
congregation of Hebrews in Brussels.
They decided to profane the waters
on Good Friday, 1870. On that day
the jews gathered in their synago-
que and spread the sixteen consecrat-
ed waters on the altar. They then
drew their daggers and. stabbed the
sacred objects. When the points OF
the daggers penetrated the waters
blood spouted forth.
The Hebrews, overcome with aston
ishment and horror by the miracle,
got into a panic and hired a Jewish
woman named Catherine to carry the
waters to Cologne. This she did but
upon her return to Brussels became
frightened at what she had done and
revealed all she knew of the matter
to the rector of the church of ST.
Catherine. Punishment was speed
lily visited upon the Jews who had
taken part in defiling the waters.
These men were arrested and thrown
into prison, and their property was
confiscated. They were tried and
convicted and sentenced to death by
being burned alive. The sentence
was carried out and the Jews Gre
mated.
A miracle is said to have restored
three of the sacred waters to the
clergy of st. Guduli. There they be-
came objects of devout reverence In

Brussels. After hundreds had died

waters for relief. Soon afterwards
the epidemic ceased. The people in

USE HONEY INSTEAD OF SUGAR.

Manhattan, Kan, July 17-Kansas
bee keepers are solving the high cost
Of preserving fruit this year by substi-
tuting honey for sugar, according to
state bee inspectors who met here for
a two-day conference with DR.. J. H.
Merrill, assistant entomologist Of the
Kansas Agricultural experiment sta
ton.
While it requires slightly more
honey for preserving fruits, bee keep
ers can save money by using the pro-
duct of bees since the cost of
manufacturing 1t is almost moth
ing, the inspectors pointed ou.
They said thousands of dollars
worth of honey from the clover and
alfalfa fields of the state goes to waste
annually because comparatively few
farmers keep bees.
