Curling Auto Bandits.

The newspapers every day carry stories of
the depredations OF auto bandits. These crimi-
mails rarely apprehended. The fast auto
and good roads supply the answer.
The other day two bandits drove up to
filling station in Lincoln, ILL.,, forced the man
ager to open the safe and escaped with 5000
Lincoln is a small city. There are scores of
cities much like it in Illinois. 1t does not pre-
tend to have large police force. 1t has
few constables, a few watchmen, and does not
pretend to get much help from deputy sheriffs
because deputies usually busy other
work than capturing criminals or preventing
crime. The townsmen in Lincoln, and in the
other cities like Lincoln over the state, know
that armed bandits would have the better OF
the argument with city policemen, watchmen,
constables deputy sheriffs. In fact the
small cities do not expect their law officers
to take many chances with bandits who flour
ish guns because the advantage is on the side
of the bandit. But the various Lincolns over
the state realize that by this time they
would receive much protection and help from
a well organized state police system were 1t
in operation in Illinois.

Keeping Close to Nature.

. the sweetest thrills. There died the other day

carried his practice too far. He owned q farm
and had accumulated enough of this worlds
goods to properly provide for himself. Al
ways a lover of birds and beasts in recent years
he made his home abode for an unusual
collection, with the result that his place at
tracted wide attention.

A Needed Spring housekeeping.

VIII H Hays promises genuine, whole
some spring house cleaning" Of the moving
picture business when he takes hold after he
retires from the portfolio of postmaster gen
eral, early in March.
Good, Hays will be equal to the task,
whatever it may be.
real moral cleaning and not a campaign
against extension of censorship of films is
the purpose for which Mr.. Hays is to be paid
s1SO,0O0 year when he retires postmaster
general Mr.. Hays said:
1--WE have two detectives. We will
attempt to attain and maintain the
highest standards in motion picture
production and seek to develop the
moral and educational values of mo-
ton pictures to their highest degree.
That is all we plan"
An uplift in the tone of motion picture pro-
duction is what is needed, and the way to be-
gin would be to Gust Fatty Arbuckle and the
entire gang present at the debauch which term
mated in tragedy, regardless of his own guilt
SO far as crime is concerned Whatever it was,
it was a disgrace, and those connected with it
be they small great-have no right to
show their faces to the public again for a
price.
There is much of the vulgar, if not nasty,
will sustain art and win approval. This does
not mean that the direction of productions need
run to prudishness or any other extreme. 1t
does not imply that the portrayal Of human
character and emotions that a part TO life's
romance need be omitted. 1t does not follow
that there need be too much censuring of reas-
enable situations that are developed in the
line of legitimate comedy-even to pie throw
ing and other ridiculous stunts.
But everything that afronts decency and the
finer senses should be cut out for all time
Moving pictures need not be sermons, nor
essentially lessons in morality, but all that Of
tends good thoughts, all that is Objectionable
to the average human mind, may well be
stricken.
1t is not necessary to spit before the cam
era in order to get Iaugh-and this for Fatty
Arbuckle among other things.
And then, too, there is no need of catering
to the fiery imaginations of youth-the old
dime novel rot brought to life-the Dare Devil
Dick stuff, and all that. There is nothing that
helps human kind in making hero out of a
low bred bandit after he has held up trains
and banks and looked dreadfully fierce with
a gun in each hand
Let's cut that too, Mr.. Hays.
The writer's of motion picture senarious
are sufficiently resourceful to provide real
exciting emotional drama and rich merry
making exciting comedy without heroizing the
desperate and outlaw STOPPING to vulgarity.

How Soon We Forget.

Ingraitude is the sin of the people.
1t applies to nations as we'll as individuals
How soon we forget! Regardless OF what a
man may accomplish in endeavor or achieve
ment, the profit thereof is not always to him
self. Ambition the part of others-too often
by those who have been the greatest benefit
ciares-to seize and appropriate to themselves
the others well won crown is ever present.
The world is full of illustrations of this
selfishness. There are present instances where
those who have led tormented nations through
the most momentous crises of all time, have
battIed and weathered the storm only to be
pushed aside when their usefulness seemed for
the moment to have passed.
Lloyd George, the English premier, who
steadied and led the empire through the crucial
years of the World war, and who since has ac-
complished more than any English statesman
before him, in the adjustment of the centuries
old Irish question, is in danger of losing his
office. Another has come forward claiming
the honor, and the people, either through in
gratitude fckleness, being severed, to
some extent at least, from the devotion that is
due George. He may be superseded in the
hour of his greatest triumph.
And that will be but history repeating it
self.
Clemenceau, the tiger of France" by his
supreme courage, his superb patriotism, his
dash and daring, saved his country in the
greatest trial in her history. He Frances
prime minister in the war when all that the
nation had was at stake. His power in those
dark days was more to France than its pres
ident or its marshals in the field-but he saw
her through. He represented her at the peace
conference, and came out with glory to his
country-and then he was shelved. Somebody
else wanted the job, and the people forgot.
History repeats itself.
Woodrow Wilson, Americas war president
led his country to the most tremendous victory
in the history of all time. He rescued the
world, in which he became acknowledged az
the spokesman of all that civilization and
christianity and democracy had been fighting
for. He was foremost in the treaty meeting at
the table where sat George and Clemenceau and
the best brains of all the allied nations. His
genius was stamped upon the entire record
and he came home to be repudated.
History repeats itself.
History. nevertheless, indicates as well,
and for George and CIemenceau and Wilson, no
matter what their fate be now, there will be
pages toread for future generations, who. read

The School Gymnasium.


81 would like your advice about
my 16 year old daughter. who is an
object of anxiety to me because of
a family history of tuberculosis.
She is 81 inches talk weighs 102
pounds, has good complexion, but is
troubled with chronic post nasal
sore throat Her tonsils and ade-
noids were removed several years
ago. She is very constipated, and
has sluggish function. She has sew
eral severe colds each winter, when
the chronic soreness becomes
acute and spreads through her
chest, apparently. She walks a mile
to school, but carries a heavy load
Of books. She stands next the head
of her class in the academy and is
too busy to spend much time out
side, other than the walks to school.
Music and reading are her recrea-
tons. Short of stopping school can
you suggest anything for her?
MRS. C. o. o."
The school system is wrong. 1t
deals with girls and boys as though
they were mere brain without any
bodies attached. 1t neglects physi-
cal education, and strives to turn
out topheayy, self sufficient young
men and women who are lily equip
ped to tackle the world.
The physical body demands a
show. You can't leave it out of
consideration and make a success
of education. If the schools are I'M
prepared to attend to the physical
training of girls and boys, and too
often they are unprepared, it be-
comes the duty of parents to look
after that vital part Of education
personally.
1t is rather a misfortune for a
high school student to be a contend
er for scholastic honors, because it
does just what the ystem doing to
the girl described in the letter-it
blinds the poor little girl to her
need Of physical training and it
turns her mothers head so that the
thing is rather encouraged.
If she were my daughter she
would rop about two subjects, or
rather leave school an hour a day
for regular gymnasium or other
carefully supervised physical train

sponsibility as a parent for the
