The tragic death of A. G. Batchelder,
executive chairman of the American

month marks tn ethird severe loss to
the good roads cause Of the country

the Lincoln Highway Forum. The
American Automobile Association has

Mr.. Batchelder, that organization
having also lost the valued services
OF its field executive and national

loss Of its vice president and field sec
retary, the late H. c. OStermann. who
met his death upon the highway in
June. 1920.
Batchelder, Westgard and Oster-
mann were nationally known figures,
hatchelder having organized the
american Automobile Association in
!Si3-the same year the Lincoln
Highway Association was incorpo-

Knock Heads at Wedding.

From the Vancouver Providence.
On the wedding day, in Borneo, the
bride and bridegroom are brought
from opposite ends Of the village to
the spot where the ceremony is to
be performed. They are made to sit
on two bars of iron. that blessings as
lasting and health as vigorous may
attend the pair. A cigar and beteI-
leaf. prepared with the areca-nut, are
next put into the hands of the bride
and bridegroom. One of the priests
then waves two fowls over the heads
of the couple. and in a long address
to the Supreme Being calls down
blessings upon the pair. and impIo.ss
that peace and happiness may az
tend the union.
After the heads of the affianced
have been knocked against each other
three or four times. the bridegroom
puts the prepared betel-leaf and cigar
into the mouth Of the bride, while
she does the same for him, whom
she thus acknowledges as her hus-
band.

SELF EXPRESSION IN FILMS

1.-THE exaggerated sex appeal as a
sin against the common decency of
the American people, must be laid at
the door of the producer. Taking
your own method of reasoning, it is
quite evident that the producers have
misjudged the tastes and demands of
the public, otherwise why would
there be this universal cutlery against
the low pitched appeal of the motion
picture and against the exaggeration
and degradation of sex?"
So declares Sidney Cohen, presi-
dent of the Motion Picture Theatre
Onwers of America replying to pro-
Queer Hampton, and the facts in
the main support him. He illustrates
his argument with plenty of data
showing the introduction of this. ex-
aggerated sex appeal into produce
tons which do not need it to make
them attractive or popular. The
inference left is that some of those
interested in production are them
selves sex 6cadents, giving express
sion to their own moral perversion
rather than exhibiting sense of
what the public wants.

INJUSTICE is NOT "RETRENcH.
MENT"

The action of the Maine Senate
yesterday in passing by decisive
vote the bill to increase the salary OF
our Supreme Court Justices will, we
think, meet with general approval.
While standing steadfastly for re-
trenchment by the legislature, and
while opposed to, any general increase
in salaries we have asserted that
there might be exceptional instances
where increase would be justified.
The salary of our supreme court
justices is case in point. 1t was
fixed at $4,000 in 1903, but in terms
of purchasing power it has shrunk
to $500.
The Budget Committee recon-
mended to the legislature an increase
TO $SO0O--which means less today
than $4,000 did in 1903. The Commit
tee on Salaries reported in favor OF
fixing it at $500 The Senate has

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid Of Uric Acid

Rheumatism ID no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. II not the most
dangerous Of human Affections 1t Is
one Of the mostspainful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and. above
all, drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism Is caused by uric
acid which is generated in the bowels
and absorbed into the blood. 1t is
the function of the kidneys to filter
this acid from the blood and cast IT
out in the urine. the pores of the
skin are also a means of freeing the
blood of this impufity. In damp and
chilly, cold weather the skin pores
are closed thus forcing the kidneys
to do double work, they become weak
ind sluggish and fail to eliminate this
uric acid which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the. joints and
muscles, causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.

none claim that he has failed to place
a strong man in each department,
with the exception of the position of
attorney general.
or the appointment of Daugherty
there has been criticism. chiefly,
however. from opponents of Mr..
Harding. That criticism appears to
have stiffened his resolve to appoint
Mr.. Daugherty, which is significant
1t cannot, of course be denied. that
this is the appointment of a long
time, loyal friend, but is this all? 1t
is but fair to the President-elect to
assume he thinks it is not. For one
thing he secures a tried and trusty
counselor, a shrewd judge of men and
presumably one, who If he himself
doesn't know all that's to be known
respecting the law, knows where he
may find responsible sources of in

The selection Of Hon. John w.
Weeks for the head of the war de-
partment may not be the one he

fords the assurance of having an
experienced and able statesman
and good business man in
Il position surely needing such a

IDLE FREIGHT CARS

The American Federation OF Labor
charges that '.the finapcial oligarchy
which controls railroads" is trying tc
crush labor under threat Of q COM
pIete breakdown Of transportation
and is jeopardizing the interests and
welfare of the people.
Poor people. It's mighty sure the
Federation isn't, trying to relieve the
people OF anything except their
money, and now, IL on top Of that the
railroad managers are trying to steal
what the Federation has left to the
people" the latter are indeed in a
bad way.
While the dear people" may well
be apprehensive about affording eth
er the Federation or the railroad
Arrangements free and unrestricted
opportunity to take whatever they
may choose to take, 1t is a strain on
the imagination to suppose that a
part of this alleged conspiracy on the
part of the railroad management in
cludes the increase of idle cars, for
the only known way to secure idle
railway cars is either to construct a
surplus of them, which the roads are
too poor to do if they wished, or to
have them left on hand because ship
pers DO not wish to use them.
Notsensible person doubts that
lack of demand is the only cause for
the increase Of about $3.50 of surplus
freight cars since the first week in
January. He is forced to realize that
this matter of idle cars is one of the
most accurate business barometers.
According to reports compiled in
the Boston News Bureau there were
February 81, 64,698 more idle freight
cars than in the first week in Janu-
airy. Last August, for three sue
cessive weeks, loadings ran about a
million cars per week, whereas in re-
cent weeks thay have been running
about 7OO,Oo0.s mot only were the
average loadings in January about
$4,000 smaller than the average for
corresponding weeks in 1920 but were
nearly. $4,000 smaller than the aver
age weekly loadings in January. 1919
during the post-armistice slump.
Better give the public credit for
enough of good sense to realize that
this condition of idle freight cars on
the railroads is brought about by
reason of the fact that at this time
shippers are not finding it to their
advantage to make use of them I'M
der the high rates of freight. 1t is
likewise presumable that the. public
doesn't expect the idle cars to be
moved by Federation wind.
