TRIUMPHANT INSANITY
BY OR. FRANK CRANE (Copyright. 1921, by Frank Crane)

One of the worst effects of the System under which the nations of the earth have been operating is that it encourages the development of the arts of destruct9
 Suppose in the City of New York prizes were giSen in school for the best poison and the deadiest dirk and the city council paid nnetenths of the city n- come to supporting gang of murderers, what would you think of that?
 Because every nation, like our own, clings to the idea that the only safety lies in being prepared for war; the ingenuity of men is turned constantly to making inventions that shall enable us to conquer.
 Since first emerged from beasthood and began fighting each other the most acute minds have been devoted to the discovery of and more deadly weapons for killing.
 The man who first whittled out club whipped his opponent who had only his fists Then the tribe that invented bows and arrows with which long distance murder possible beat the tribe who had only clubs
 Then came gunpowder, and TINT, and poison gas and the like.
 And now somebody described as Thigh in the service announces the discovery of poison three drops of which mans skin will destroy his life Sprinkled from nozzle lowflying airplane, 1t could utterly annhilate all living creatures in Swath mile wide had 4,OOO tons of this material, and 400 planes equipped for it's distribution, the entire American army in the Argonne could have been wiped out Tn twelve hours"
 So there you are! What next?
 Just climb a tree, and regard the human race in bit of perspective and will you not find 1t amazing that mankind is employing it's most strenuous efforts and keenest inteects in hunting up new ways to Kill and destroy? God have mercy on mad and fatuouS world!
 Whats the good of all this preparation for whole sale murder? | Why not get together and stop it? II Why not plan to put our best brains to produclng goods and conserving life! l Can a bent on destroying itself be called any thing but insane, even as a man with the same mor- bid purpose?

The principle of national agreements may be sound MT. Lauck, the consulting economist of the railway unions declared before the railway labor board Tuesday. They may, he avert in dustral interruption. The establishment of uniform rates of pay and working conditions would doubt smooth rough places the transportation world
 One cannot be in sympathy with the railway owner who would abrogate these national agreements and leave multiplying disputes to be set tied as they in the past between the several roads and their employees
 But the unfairness of the present national agree ment, the conditions exacted by the unions under duress from the United States railway adminstra- tior or by the promise the holding out of political support should not be allowed to stand.
 It may Mr. Lauck says, that if greater efficiency were shown the management of the roads, and less efficiency could well be dislayed than which the brought into service, the roads might meet these costly conditions without loss But there the public. which pays for al be considered It is the public that this waste of time, labor and wages falls,

Close to Your Poeketbook

Your cost of living is determined, in the long by the prices of materials Those prices average only fifth more than in 1913. In other words fifhs of the rise that place during the has been cancelled
 This is revealed by the price index published by Bradstreet's which the prices of the prin cipal necessities of lifesuch metals, coal bread stuffs, hides, leather, textiles and oil.
 The Bradstreet index takes a given amount of each of these commodities and adds the price. How that price from prewar level its highest wartime point and what now is shown in these Bradstreet figures:
 December. 1913 >...--............$ 9.2l
 February, 1920 ........-.......... 20S6
 The steady drop during the last 10 months has been at a that if continued, will bring basic prices-of raw materials-down to the 1913 level by May 1, 1921
 On that date. according to calculations of expert observers including the National Bank of Commerce in New Lork, the first stage of defation will prob ably be competed-the first driven the coffin of depression
 It may It may be delayed But indications that the beginning of the end is in sight.

Wanted: Country Doctors

uent some doctors are refusing to make long trips in maternity cases or for anything except a serious emer- gency.
 Students Choose City Work
 All of the facts of town and coun- try practice are well known to the medical student long before he gets his degree. Unless he is strongly attracted by the possibilities for service in country practice, and un- less he is impressed by the vital need for doctors there, the student decides for City work.
 The result Is that the uneven com petition for doctors between the big city and the small town has been growing more uneven as medicine progresses to greater skill and spe- cialization. The small towns are trying to counteract this tendency by making life easier for the neighbor- hood doctor. This works in some | cases, but it seems probable that or ganized action will have to be taken eventually.
 The plan most generally proposed as remedy for the shortage of small | town doctors is to have the states develop some organization for the medical service. Dr. B. $. Warren of the public health service has stated 1 that flor one item-drugs-the Unit ed States spends s500.000. 900 year. This sum alone, if properly expended. would buy all necessary drugs and | add s2000 a year to the income of ! each of the 125,000 physicians in ac- | tive practice in the United States Dr. Warren says that the people of | the country are paying out money | sufficient for the maintenance of an adequate medical service, but fail to 1 receive it because the money is spent | in such haphazard manner. | With proper organization, distri- button and training of the medical and sanitary personnel of the coun- try, and with a proper expenditure of the funds now being spent for med ical purposes. there would be avail | able to every person adequate med | ical and hospital services and sup plies"
 Bills providing for various degrees | of state supervision of medical serv- ice have been suggested to state leg | islatures. It has been proposed that there might be a health officer for | each district in a state who could in case of emergency be called into homes as a physician. Another way of attacking the problem is found in a health insurance system under state management such as European countries have. An organization oi
 this kind, while not primarily for that purpose, might be able to mobilize
 part of the medical personnel and
 supply rural districts with medical attention.
 To what extent a state or the fed eral government could help matters would depend on the appropriation available and the authority given to
 officials. It might pay a state to
 educate some doctors on scholarships
 with the understanding that they
 would take rural posts for a certain
 length of time after graduation. The
 details could be arranged if the
 states took a hand. The question is:
 Will it be necessary for the govern
 ment to add this responsibility to its
 collection of duties or can the doctor
 less districts devise ways to make
 the country so attractive a field foI
 service that it can compete with the advantages of the city?

Ideas For Your
 April Fool Party

In an April Fool party the spirit of the occasion can be carried out from the time your guests arrive until they leave.
 For instance. when the doorbeI an nounces the arriVel of one of tbs guests, send someone unknown to him to the door with the word that there is no one home" This will for an instance, lead to the belief that the party itself was an April fool. But don't forget to invite the guest in.
 While waiting for luncheon offer prize for the best "fooT' story. When it is awarded. make it a box well wrapped, but containing nothing. The real prize can be found later-in the napkin at the table, for instance.
 Then announce that you have beautiful picture you would like ev eryone to look at Get your guests before a curtain, behind which is large mirror. Draw the curtain aside and they will gaze at themselves. On the mirror is written April Fool
 Another stunt is to pile pillows books and other things on the floor.

They predict aday when will burned at the mines running giant plants that will put the country electrical instead of steam-coa basis Those in the know say it's dream thatl true
 Eectrification may be the solution of the railroad problem.
 Out of every 100 tons of coal mined in the United States 26 tons operating railroads Haul ing this coal ties thousands of freight There goes into locomotives.

 But the producers have at least 400 10000 pounds of copper in storage They offering 1t abroad at 10 cents pound, less than third of the wartime highest
 Now might be excellent time to start general identification of the railroads. Roads that have changed to electric locomotives say they wouldn't go back
