Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON

Kicks are made against the killers
by lot of grouchy cranks: being staid
old social pillars, they forget their boy
hood pranks- Everywhere hear them
saying, shuddering at every breath,
There's too much impr omptu Staying,
too much unexpected death. Any youth
can get rifie-guns are now his aims
and goals-and then, for the merest
trife, he will shoot us full of holes.
We are scared, like farmyard pullets
when hawk flies overhead, for we're
always lodging bullets, always burying
our dead" Thus the ancient men are
knocking, roosting in the parks and
courts; and they all consider shocking
every kind of modern sports. Age
makes people cold and narrow, they
can't sympathize with fun; they de-
fend the bow and arrow as against
the sawed off gun. And the kicks are
growing louder, from these shelfworn,
dotard folk; when they're shot with
Smokeless powder they can't take it
as a Joke. Every daily paper brings
them further news DER which to cuss;
when a charge OF buckshot wings
them they kick up beastly fuss. And
they call for drastic measures cutting
short the wave of crime. but the young
must have their pleasures in this
merry modern time.

Charles, and received thorough edu.

it, stating that he would adopt the old

the king entered the capital of his new
country, accompanied by his queen

enthusiasm drove through the illpmi-

Have You Clipped Your Coupons?

More than s1oO,oOO,oOO in interest on Liberty
and Victory loan bonds has not been collected by
owners of these securities, say reports from the
treasury department. Many purchasers of bonds
have forgotten that the interest can be collected
every six months
These securities probably are lying in bureau
drawers, safe deposit boxes, and other recep-
tacles. Treasury department officials say the
unpaid interest is due on bonds of $50 and 500
denominations, which indicates that their own
ers are unacquainted with the handling of bonds,
and probably do not realize that the coupons
should be clipped off the bond and the money
collected at a bank.
Some of the 500, 100000 in interest undoubt-
edly is due to holders of bonds in Richmond and
Wayne county. Holders of bonds would find it
to their interest to examine their bonds to see
if they have collected the interest. Perhaps
some persons have forgotten that they bought
bonds during the war, and will be agreeably sur
prised if they conduct an examination.

Europe Protects Her Manned Heroes

In sharp contrast with an apparent disregard
of the welfare of our manned war heroes is the
attention which European governments pay to
their war cripples Despite desperately high
taxes and impaired finances cases of disabled
veterans are not allowed to wait months for adj
justment, but are handled expeditiously.
Every disabled British soldier receives an
adequate pension based on the percentage of his
disability. War cripples in France besides re-
ceiving government support, also obtain reduced
rates on railways, street cars, omnibuses, and
bread tickets. Many of them belong to local
organizations and to one of the three national
declarations which maintain headquarters in
Paris and exert considerable political influence.
America might take lessons from the manner
in which the European countries care for the dis
abled soldiers. The plea of economy in connec-
ton with just remuneration for former soldiers
finds little response in the country at large, SO
long as congress permits the vast expenditures
of public funds for the shipping board enterprise
and other ventures of the government.

PROFESSOR sTEINRRueeE SAYS:

X -
In dramatic art much is made OF

a place of amusement and incidentally
a place of education. To amuse and
educate at the same time is genius.
That which is artistic is often the

an important part in dramatic produc-
lions that 1t is not advisable to be too
theoretical in producing play. The

Health of Women

How many perfectly well women do
you know? Isn't it true that in order
to keep up with the march of progress
the endurance of woman is often
strained to it's utmost and the tax
upon her physical system is in most
cases greater than she can stand.
Headaches develop. and nervous irri-
liability, backache. dragging down SEN

peculiar to women. The reliable rem

The Monday Morning Death List

Monday in Indiana has become day for the
listing of automobile and outing tragedies. The
number of persons killed on Sunday is so large
that it has become shocking even to the blase
reader OF accidental tragedies. Accidental deaths
in automobile smashes and by drownings are
running a. close race with the toll collected by
epidemics.
The loss of life among children from acct
dents was greater than from epidemic diseases
in 1917. The American Red Cross reports that
10000 children, IA years old and less, lose their
lives each year.
In Chicago and Cook county, Illinois, 499 chill
dren lost their lives in accidents last year. Auto
mobile accidents in Chicago in 1920 were respon-
sibe for $40 deaths out of total of 1900, and
for the first three months of this year the rate
of increase was 80 per cent compared with the
corresponding period of last year.
The irony of the situation should be obvious
to the casual observer. We spend thousands OF
dollars annually to protect children from con-
tagion. We provide medical examiners in the
schools; insist upon proper sanitary measures in
the city; employ visiting nurses; maintain state
departments of health, and pure food boards.
And then, we learn that more of our children are
killed and manned on the streets in accidents
than by disease.
Who is to blame? The drivers of automo-
biles? Not all of them, for the vast majority
are careful, especially when they see children
playing on the street. The minority of reckless
drivers, of course, are undesirable citizens and'
deserve the scathing denunciation of the pedes-
TRAN and the safe and sane motorists.
Parents are responsible in large degree.
They permit their children to play on the streets
instead of insisting that they use the sidewalks
and the vacant lots. Parents forget that streets
are set aside for vehicular traffic and not
recreation spots
Fathers and mothers are very careful to see
that their sons and daughters are not exposed
to measles, mumps, diphtheria, and other con-
tagious diseases that may appear near their
homes. Children cautioned to stay away
from quarantined houses, and yet the same par
ents, knowing that death turks in the streets,
will permit their boys and girls to expose them
selves to the hazard.
The parent has many. obligations to perform
in the rearing of his children but not the least Of
these is the incubation of the lessons of safety
first.
And while parents are doing this, drivers of
vehicles might make a solemn resolve to drive
very carefully when they children near the
curb, for no one knows how suddenly child will
dart across the streets into the path of an auto
mobile.
