RIPPING RHYMES
By Walt Mason


4LII SSSEAL@AhDs
The sucker falls for every scheme,
believes in every hotpoint dream,
and nothing puts him wise; although
he's warned by voices shrill. the
sucker Is a sucker still, and will be
till he dies. A million plutes have
boarded beans. and ride around in
limousines. and suckers pay the
freight; plutes say, when sizing UP
their kale, The sucker crop can
never fail. and life is simply great"
The suckers toll at grievous tasks.
and save the coin in kegs and casks,
and should be wearing bells; but no,
they say, 'We'll get rich quick" and
go and buy the gilded bricks some
tinhorn faker sells. They have no use
for banks. they say. and hide their
money in the hay. or meath the cell
lar floor; then some one finds the
treasure hole, and bears away the
hard earned roll. and brings it back
no more. The suckers patronize the
seers who tell them of the future
years. and what shall them befall;
and when they're sick they take their
rocks and hand them to the taking
docs who travel on their gall. You
cannot change the suckers heart:
he thinks he is so blooming smart.
he scorns your good advice: he
thinks your counsel trite and stale,
and all the sharks get on his trail,
and touch him for the price.

TOBACCO IN UTAH.

Utah has new anti-tobaccO law. The
results observed so far are surely not
what it's author contemplated. 1t is a
punishable offense to give away cigar
cites or to smoke tobacco in any form in
public places, yet there is said to be more
smoking than ever. Says one observer,
The first effect has been to incite open
violation by orderly citizens. People who
never smoked a cigarette in their lives
are now smoking them" And arrests
are not being made.
Such a situation is bad for law and bad
for morals. Tobacco may be a filthy,
poisonous and generally Objectionable
drug, but it is better to have it smoked
openly and honestly, under a regime of
complete tolerence, than to have it
smoked either fauntingly or secretly in
violation of law.
The same reasoning applies, in some
ways, to the liquor traffic, but the sit
uation is really very different. Alcoholic
7~',,1fe have been outlawed because public
sentiment is against them. Evasion of
the liquor laws is the practice of small
minority. Local prohibition had been
voted in the greater part of the country
before the prohibition amendment was
adopted, and so well is the public atti-
tude known that there is hardly state

STAY IN SCHOOL.

No better advice could be given to the
army of boys and girls who are now fin
fishing their school year than the short,
simple plea, Stay in school" That
ought to be the motto of the entire school
population of the United States from the
kindergarten up to the senior year in
college.
1t is the way of material success. Sta
tistics show that the grammar school
graduate multiplies his chances by about
five if he goes on through the high school,
and that the high school graduate doubles
his chances if he goes on through the col
lege or technical school.
It is the way of spiritual success. Ed
ucation opens the mind to the acquisi-
ton of riches that cannot be taken away.
1t brings appreciation of the finest things
of life. It's discipline, if it is the right
kind of education, makes the mind q
keen-edged sword that can cut through
error and make it's own way in the realm
of thought. 1t provides equipment for
making the best and most serviceable
citizens.
Many young people, perhaps most,
leave school because that seems the cas-
lest way. They find school work hard
or monotonous. Mental work IS hard.
1t is harder than physical work, to
the average person, though the hand
worker seldom recognizes that fact. Ask
any high school student or college stu
dent who stands well in his studies. Ask
tany man who has forced his way to
scholastic or literary or scientific sue
cess. He knows the strain of the long
hours, day and night, year after year.
But he also knows that it pays. and that
when real values are considered, it is
the easiest way after ALL because it
gives more for the effort than other work.
Stay in school. Finish the grammar
school, at whatever cost. Go on to the
high school. however hard the effort, and
get the best it has to offer. Go to col
lege if possible: and once in, finish the
course, however hard the studies and
however difficult the financial problem.
Work for education, with brain and
soul and hands. Get more of it than
your parents and grandparents had.
You will need~it more than they did, for
the standard has risen. and there is go
ing to be keener competition than ever
before

JUVENILE ROAD STUDY.

Every man, woman and child in the
nation. whether riding or walking, has
his share in the responsibility for traffic
accidents. If these casualties are to be
reduced instead of increased. every per
son. old or young. must do his share to-
ward their prevention. To bring this
home to the people of the United States,
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce has instituted prize essay
competition to which every grammar
school pupil in the country will be elig-
ible. The subject of the composition is
How Can l Make Road Travel Safer
The essays are. to be handed in late in
the fall. National and state prizes await
the winners.
When school opens in September the
plans for the contest will be explained
fully everywhere, but summer. when mo-
toring is at its height, is the best posi-
BILE time for working out the problem.
The prizes are attractive. but the OBJ
servation and study of traffic conditions
which must precede them is far more i'm
portant. When fathers and mothers and
children unite in noting how accidents
occur and in devising ways to avoid
them. traffic education is on the upgrade
