A plea for the establishment by
medical colleges OF the degree of doc
tor OF public health in addition to
that of doctor of medicine is voiced
by Assistant Surgeon General W. T.
Sedgwick, of the United States public
health service. After referring to the
marvellous colleges of today, DR.. Sedg-
wick points out that even the best
still neglect the field Of the public
health. Yet today, he says. there are
4S state departments of public health,
which require at least $50 experts in
public health and sanitary science.

ice finds great difficulty in getting

Before we can hope to make the
schools satisfactory and provide for
our children the education demanded
for good citizenship, for democracy
and for industrial efficiency, says p
P. Claxton, United States commission
er OF education, we shall have to
spend an average of not less than ST.
zoo for the elementary and high
school education of each child; for
higher education, general, technical
and professional, and for extensionaI
education for those who cannot go to
college or any other school of higher
education, enough to make up an aver
age OF $500 for each Individual, max
ing a total average of $500 to be
paid for the education of each in
dividual unit of our population. The
amount now paid, estimated on the
1918 basis, he points out, is $44o, hence
many children get very little educa-
ton. The schools they attend are
short, teachers are poorly paid, and
therefore incompetent. Houses and
equipment are inadequate and schools
are unsatisfactory in many ways. The
conclusion to be drawn from these
figures is that education, like most
good things, costs money.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
characterizes tax-exempt securities as
an economic evil of the first magni-
tude." They amount in the aggregate
10 about S1O,OOO,OOO,OOO, and have
been resorted to by millionaires to
such an extent that the higher sur
taxes on large incomes now yield a
comparatively small amount. Mr..
Mellon would make future issues of
securities taxable. thus making the
community issuing them pay in higher
interest rates the amount which the
government fails to collect from the
milIionaires, while the latter would
contribute no more than before. The
true reason why the millionaire puts
his money into taX-exempt securities
is that if he invest it in business gov
eminent takes from him in the form
OF taxes the big end of his profits.

Harding's nominee for United States
district attorney for western North
Carolina, on the ground that he was
in part responsible for the switch of
some North Carolina delegates to the

Chicago away from johnson, after

skirts and ran, for she heard the
gurg1ing of the coffee as it dubbed
out of the mouth of the coffee pot
and sizzled and blew.

FLORIDA SHERIFF
THWARTs CROWD
Quick Thinking Probably Saves Pris.
on. Negro In Tampa Jail.

Tampa. Fla, April GA forco of
armed guards was placed within the
Hillsborough county Jail tonight as a
Drecaulon against the possibility OF
an effort being made By mob to
take Wilmer Collins, negro, brought
here today from Polk County, who Is
charged with attempted attack on six
white women at Barlow Monday
night.
The presence here Of considerable
number OF Polk county men, who ar
rived in automobiles during tho af-
ternoon and reports OF threats to "get"
Collins led Sheriff w. G. Spencer to
prepare for any eventuality.
Shoriff John Logan Of Polk county
prevented q lynching soon after Col
Inns was captured near Lakeland this
morning. The negro was taken first
TO Lakeland and the sheriff and three
deputies started with him from there
In an automobile for Barlow. About
100 men overlook the sheriffs party
IN the country. Hating his car, Sheriff
Logan faced the mob.
Gentlemen" he said, "thero will
be no trouble. l know every man
among you. swear each and every
one OF you in as deputy sheriff. It
Is your duty now to escort with mo
this prisoner to the jail at Partow F"
The mob was taken by surprise and
stood by. while the sheriff placed the
negro in a faster car than his own
and placing three deputies in the
car, told them to drive right through
Barlow and head for Tampa. They
soon outren the other cars and
brought the prisoner safely to this
city.
Collins was "trusty" in the coun-
ty jail at Barlow, serving sentence
for minor offensc. He was sent on
an errand Monday and entered a house
and attempted to attack a white girl.
Her screams frightened him away, and
while he was being sought, he went
to fve other houses with the same
intent. He was captured but ESCAPED

On Thursday, Oct. 18th, the New
Edison stood by Leola Lucey's side in
the Newport Armory. If you'were
there, you heard the living voice and the
RE-CREATED voice brought into
direct comparison. You know that
there was no difference between the two
voices.
By this wonderful performance, the
New Edison has placed itself apart
from all other monographs and talking
machines. It alone has sustained this
drastic test. It alone has proved, con-
cretely and conclusively, that it gives
you the living performances Of great
artists.
