GO SLOW ON CHAUTAUQUA.

The Herald has no desire to throw
spokes in anybody's wheel or TO
knock the Mutual chautauqua, but we
advise going a little slow in signing
up for another year. The usual pro
cess is to rush the signatures before
the chautauqua leaves town. TINS Is
wrong, from a community standpoint
at least We believe that the Cham
Der of Commerce amusement COM
mittee should take its time i'll select
ing the best chautauqua we can get.
Perhaps this will be the Mutual.
Perhaps it will be something else.
Lancaster should have a Chautauqua
and we believe the town would sup
port the very best better than it
would a chautauqua adapted for
towns of 500 or so. Let's have the

KINDNESS AND CHARACTER.

(By A. E. Frederick, State Humane
Officer.N
mo mother need fear her boy be-
coming a criminal who has been
taught kindness to animals. ''-Bo-
hemian proverb.
Humane work means more than
providing relief for suffering animals
or human beings. 1t includes the
installation of the spirit of kindness
in the hearts of children, which in
the future will bear fruit in the
character building of the world
Nations which have been careful to
guard the rights of their dumb ami
these principles, have fewer GRIMM
ais than those nations which have
deemed humane work a non-essen-
tial. India, with its 800 million pop
ulation, has less crime than England
with 90 million. Japan has fewer
criminals than probably any country
of its size Both India and Japan
have laid much emphasis upon teach
ing children to respect the rights of
dumb animals. And the children.
having learned this lesson, have
practiced it in later life in relation
to their fellow men,
Development of high forms of
character is vital in the building of
nation. In seeking this accomplish
ment, we spend much money in vari-
Gus forms Of education. We also
spend millions to correct and punish
our criminals. No form of education,
however is more effective than the
actual practice of the spirit of kind
ness.
This is no experiment 1t is good
common sense. It has been tried
and has been found to pay. In this
day when crime appears to be on the
increase, why not commence teach
ing our children systematically and
effectually the principles of kindness
to animals? The lessons practiced
will react upon him who practices
them. And if it will help to reduce
crime here as it has in other coun-
tries, 1t will have been an invest
ment much worth while.

GASOLINE TRAGEDIES.

In spite of many warnings gasoline
continues to demand it's victims.
Five deaths and thirteen injuries is
the 1920 record of this state.
The man who uses a match to find
out whether there is plenty of gaso-
line in his auto tank, always finds
enough to explode. Looking into the
tank while smoking is also danger
Gus, filling the tank while the motor
is running is hazardous, as also is
filling the tank by the light of lantern,
lamp or candle.
The combination of gasoline in
open vessels to clean auto parts, of
fumes ever present in a garage and
the inveterate cigarette fiend annual
ly cause number of garage fires.
In these days of equality ladies will
not be outdone by mere man even in
careIessness. They will wash silk
waists, ties and fabrics in gasoline
in an open dish. The mere rubbing
often will generate enough electricity
to cause an explosion At other times
the stove fires or lamp flame will set
off the explosion.
Advertisements and magazine artic
les often advise mixing gasoline with
ing cloths, fabrics, rugs and other
things A recent article advises
spraying closets with benzine to get
rid of moths, and mixing crude oil
and benzine for a fine furniture pol
ish," all fool-killing advice. We are
hardly able to keep up with this sui
eide advice, and combating it.
To soften the water and make
washing easier the good housewife
will put gasoline into a boiler of hot
water, often to her sorrow Spray
ing bedroom furniture with gasoline,
fortunately is not done as much as
in former years, one lesson learned
at the price of many precious life.
To start or quicken fire kerosene
is used, and the coroner's conclusion
often is ''mistook gasoline for kero-
sene," not realizing that no such mis-
take is necessary, as kerosene is quite
as liable to explode if any fire or live
Goals are left in the fire pot Five
deaths and eight injuries were re-
ported in 1920 from this cause.
The use of benzine stove polish on
a hot stove caused one death last
year.
Benzine and naptha are in the same
class as gasoline.
Gasoline should be defined as a
petroleum product more powerful
than dynamite, as sure to explode as
nitro-glycerine, as deadly as cyanide
of potassium, as innocent looking as
water, never fool-proof or danger
free; to be stored underground and
used outdoors.
A word of warning may save life,
perhaps a whole family, a home, a
store or shop or a factory.
BEWARE!

THE HUMAN KNEE.
Detroit News.l


Tempus fugit Also O tempora, O
mores! Where a few years ago ank-
les were discussed either with blush
of modesty or an air Of midnight bra
vado, now it is knees. This, apparent
ly, is a result of the higher education.
1t is the brooding Hamlet who said
something about .crooking "the preg-
nant hinges of the knee and the
king alluded to his own as stubborn"
when meditating on the efficacy Of
prayer where his offense was so rank
''it smells to heaven" Neither Ham
let nor the king says a word about
having dimples, while John Lyly
about the close of the sixteenth CEN
fury, declared in sprightly verse that,
in Cupid, the proper and obvious
place for dimple is the chin.
The difference between Hamlet and
his associates and the kneeophytes
of the present day is that with the
former the knee was Incidental to
other things, prayer, for example,
while now everything is incidental to
the knee No one yet has penned a
sonnet to his lady's knees, or if he
has he has not published it, but evil
IDENTIFY that will happen shortly.
The study Of the human knee is not
a popular one, and hence it. is sur
prising that it should De receiving so
much attention, except on the cynical
theory that the world has grown
weary of other enticements and will
look at knees much as it will look
at ears, when they reach the point
of exposure, out Of sheer novelty.
Proverbially and physically, mans
weak point is his knee and as all
the world knows, the Scottish habit
of exposing the knees originated
simply in the malicious desire to ir-
ritate alien beholders in the hope of
a fight.
In a general policy of obscuring
knees, dispassionate bystanders will
concur, on the same theory that they
like hedge of lilac bushes in front
of zinc fence. Of course, if it is
to be primarily a question of dimples,
that requires another adjustment of
reflection, without rejecting, so to
speak, on the knee which, however,
seems to be after all the bone OF
contention.

An Iowa man is Dragging because
he shot an American eagle on his
farm. He laid for it with a shotgun
and in two charges the bird turned
up it's toes. 1t measured seven feet
across the wing tips and had claws
large enough to pick up small pig
or rabbit. But just why was the bird
shot? Birds of all kinds are rare
enough and the eagle is almost ex-
tinct. There seems to exist a want
on desire for destruction in hearts of
most boys and good many men.
One minute poised and winged beau
ty-the next minute carrion. The
average bird has no food value. Alive
the balance existing in nature makes
the bird positive agency to check
harmful insect life. And the bird is
loved by most adults as something
that makes nature fuller and more
beautiful Protect the birds.

TRAPPED IN A TAXI lanes Book-Chspter o1

Apparently the great god of chance had decided to play into our hands A taxi careened around the corner. Bob hailed it.
 Full house," He placed Katherine and Chrys on the rear seat. Daddy, you sit with the girls. Spence, get up with the driver. You here, Janei" He let down the folding seat behind Spence, slid into the one close behind the chauffeur, and gave his fathers name to the man at the wheel.
 1 relaxed, I smiled It amused me to be placed as a guard over the jewels of the ex-kaiser.
 But Bob did not smile. As soon as We had started, I perceived that he had grown alert and nervous.
 When we approached the ''Y'' whert the new boulevard departs from the old, Bob whispered some thing to the chauffeur. The man did not hear. I thought that he was deaf. Bob spoke again-the man re- monstrated. Then my husband took something from his pocket-his' hand approached the body of the chauf- feur. heard him say above the clat- ter of the old car:
 "No monkey business! An accident "a stalled car-and this gun goes off"
 Spence heard. too. Did I imagine that he adjusted more closely the folds of the big coat which covered the white casket- Protests arose when our car sped down the old instead of the new boulevard.
