Long Beach Press: General Perish
| ing, speaking at Marion, Ohio, and
Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, speak
ing at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, on
Independent day, decried the preva-
lence Of lawlessness and inveighed
against the menace of defiance of and
disrespect for law. Said Senator len.
root: "Disregard for the law is the
greatest problem that America now
faces, constituting menace which, IT
| unchecked, spells anarchy and ruin. y
General Pershing deplored the present
"dangerous tendency toward disobed-
ienee to law and asserted that "moral
standards have become materially
weakened and the criminal elements of
society are less cautious in their ac-
| tivities He urged that ''it is time
| for all citizens who cherish our herit-
age of free government to assert them
| selves and cry out against lawlessness
and immortality; we must stand for
prompt enforcement of the law or con-
J cede that free government is a fail
ure.'
Obedience to the law on the part of
all the people, and respect for the law
and the constituted authorities who
are charged with enforcement of the
law, are the only safeguards to the lib
srty of the individual. If one person
or one group, or many persons ana
many groups, presume to defy and
break the law with impunity, then in
deed is the liberty and safety OF all
endangered. For law is all that stands
| between this or any other country and
anarchy, confusion and chaos. Law, and
auickened public sentiment back, OF
law, are the great bulwarks which pro-
tect against disorder, violence, anarchy
and unbridled menace. ., o.,

BY HOWARD r. GARIS
Once upon a time there was baby
robin who lived in a nest in the tall
tree, with the mother and father
robins, and also a brother and sister
robin. For time the little birds did
nothing but cuddle under their mother S
warm wings, while the father robin
flew here, there and everywhere, for
worms and bugs for the baby birds to
eat
"When will I be big enough and
strong enough to fly out of the nest by
myself and get my own worms, and
bugsa" the baby robin asked his father
one day.
"Not for long while yet" CHR
ruped the father robin, in answer.
.."Stay here with your brothers and
sisters
But this one baby robin did not
want to do that. Each day he flutter-
ed his wings little harder, and open
ed his yellow beak a little wider,
"'I can fly!'' he said to his brothers
and sister one morning, when both the
father and mother robins were off pull
ing up worms. 81 am strong enough to
fly, so 1 am going to leave this old
nest! ] am tired of staying here!''
ooh, don IT you dare to go!" peeped
u sister robin.

One Minute Essay

Mosquitoes, it appears, have decided
preference and repulsions. Thus, 1t has
been shown that they have very little
liking for negroes and that the various
shades of yellow are particularly repug-
nant to them. These, facts are the re
suit of number of recent experiments
made in Brazil. 1t was developed that
white is only slightly less disagreeable
to the insect than yellow. On the other
hand, they show "a marked fondness for
blue. If strips of cloth of different
colors be hung where mosquitoes can be
observed, it will be seen that they VIII
settle almost exclusively on the biue
bands.
While these facts are doubtless of
considerable interest, it would be some
advantage to know how to protect one
self from the insect s sting without
wrapping the person from head to feet
in yellow. -.
