Prohibiting the Pistol.

The New York legislature has passed a
severe law against carrying pistols or trafick-
ing in them, and is now considering supple
mentary measure forbidding pawnbrokers to
lend money pistols handle them in any
other way. 1t is recognized that the pawnshop
has been both a bank and an arsenal for the
gunman. New York realizes, however that it
cannot do a thorough job alone Cooperation
is needed, as in the case of the dope traffic
Pistols are still bfought into New York, in
large quantities, from New Jersey and Con
necticut, and they come in the mails from mail
order houses.
New York authorities may bar advertise
ments for the prohibited weapons, but they
cannot control the mails That is the federal
governments job Neighboring states are
urged to stop flooding New York with guns, but
so far these efforts have failed The crime
problem is very largely a problem of gun
toting. 1t can never be solved until there is
national action The states may solve the
problem by adopting universal and standard
lied legislation on the subject but it would be
a far easier job for congress, if there is no
question of constitutional power.

The Age of the Featherbed.

An Omaha minister says it requires nerve
to marry these days. He confides that when
ever he unites couple in the bonds of matri-
mony he looks at the groom and thinks to
himself, Sir, you are sportsman, tried and
true" Each generation in the past has had
the same idea about their particular time. So
will all future generations AS a matter of
fact it takes less nerve to shoulder family re-
sponsibilities today than ever before Civiliza
ton is feather bed. Economic problems are
easier to meet now than in the past We only
imagine they are harder. Travel back, in i'm
agination, to your ancestors, the cave man. To
begin with he had to win his bride by fighting
his rival. The lover with the strongest mus
cles, sharpest teeth or the longest handled
war club emerged alive and claimed the bride.
After marriage father had TO protect his fam
lily against raiding, murderous outlaws and
monstrous beasts that modern man encoun-
tiers only in nightmares and delerium tremens.
Go over as short a period as so years ago
to the terrible panic that followed the civil
war. 1t took real nerve to marry in those
days with the country disorganized. infested
with outlaws, and the average person about
$40 from the bread line In fiction and in his
tory you can still read Of the hardships en-
dured by the pioneers who settled the noun
tain districts and crossed the plains in prairie
schooners. young couple in those days
thought nothing of venturing into the unchart-
ed wildness with only an axe bundle Of bed
ding, copper cooking utensils an iron kettle
and maybe a luxury like a clock horse or
COW. They got along all right too-conquered
the barren wilderness and handel it down to
their childen in the form of fertile fields and
wooded clearings. Real folks, these. Get the
old family album out of the attic and look at
the tintypes. Compared with the past genera
tons even the poorest of modern brides and
grooms have easy time The trouble is that
young people today want to start where the
old folks left off. When they set up house for
themselves they want a house filled with fur
niture and 1922 model car. Civilization, the
feather bed, has accustomed US to soft ways of
living.

Pope Turns Baseball Fan.

It's welcome news that the pope has ar
ranged for baseball to be played under his
windows in Rome. Unless religion be life as
well as thought and worship, it must fail of
its full influence. But, with all respect to the
baseball played by Americans in Rome it will
be admitted, we suppose, that even better
baseball is played by Americans in their own
country And We trust that nobody in Europe
however friendly to US and however venerable
and illustrious, will judge of our national pas
time without seeing it when it is carried to
greatest perfection.
In earlier days it customary for the
pope to travel. And there are signs that the
present pontiff hardly relishes the idea of re-
naming a prisoner in the vatican. If he de-
sires fuller knowledge OF the United States
We can assure him that in the United States
alone can this knowledge at first hand be &C
quired. 1t may seem impossible for pope to
cross the ocean But a president has done it
And so have emperors kings and prime minis
ters- The new world is now. 1t is not the old
world transplanted. And in terms of the old
world it is impossible for anybody to describe
what the new world really means. 1t must be
sean for itsslf.

ant For it demonstrates one of two things
either that your representative hunts jobs for
principles sake. which would be general
conclusion, or. 20 be particular, that Uncle
Joe, who was caught young, as far as length
of service in congress is concerned, got the
habit so firmly fixed that he can not shake
it off now when it is no good to him The
reader may take his choice between the two
possibilities
But, after all. who can blame Uncle Joe. or
any other member of congress? We talk
great deal every once in while about grave
national issues in a way to imply that the
legislators who wrestle with them in Wash
ington should, in our estimation. possess bulg-
ing brows But,~a a matter OF fact, most
members of congress are elected because they
have shown skill in getting jobs for their sup
porters, coaxed from the federal treasury
or cities of their districs, brought home a
ponderable slice OF the rivers and harbors ap-

ment The old guard dies; it never surren-

Responsibility of the Driver.

President Harding's endorsement of the
campaign begun by the American Railway as
ISOLATION for the elimination of accidents at
highway crossings should give added impetus
to a concerted movement to secure a greater
degree of public safety at point where it is
increasingly menaced. II is not new cam
paign. The railroads, for their own protec-
ton. have had for some time past to institute
additional safeguards at highway crossings
because of the increase OF motor traffic Its
aspect of novelty is the application OF inten-
sive methods TO acquaint the operating forces
of the roads and the motoring public with the
problems urgency.
II is a campaign in which automobile driv-
ers must cooperate, for they provide the oc-
casion for the casualty ard suffer most from
It Last year 1.o72 persons were killed and
4.S1s injured in accidents of this description
in the majority OF which motor cars were in
volved. The only entirely safe grade crossing
OF course is abolished grade crossing
Pending the realization OF that condition they
can be made relatively safe by care and eau
ton AS the president says, Among the
measures the most effective would seem To be
to arouse in the minds of drivers a sense of
their personal responsibility"

Passing of Famous Beauty.

calls one of the most picturesque personages
that ever graced the American stage The
daughter OF a printer, and born at Clinton,
Iowa. she sought employment on the stage in
her girlhood, her beauty and voice attracting
instant attention. For upwards of forty years
she was prominently before the public as
singer and actress, associated with the most
famous stars OF her time, and long at the head
Of her own companies. She accumulated a
fortune in her profession, and had her ro-
mances, but through it all she retained the re-
spect and admiration Of the public. At time

evidences of advancing years Lillian Resell

Washington, D. c., June 5.-Thir'
! ty thousand young men will &c
: camping this summer at govern
ment expense. They will come
from offices, factories, schools and
! farms. They will learn to handle
rifles, to wear United States army
uniforms, and to carry themselves
as soldiers. They will live for q
ercising, absorbing ideals of physi-
cal fitness and gaining broader out
look of life.
1t is safe to prophesy about these
citizen campers because 10000 OF
them were trained last year by the
war department with highly salts
factory results Twelve camps
were all that could be opened on
the 100000 appropriation of last
summer This year the war de-
partment expects to have $2,700,-
900 and it is enrolling men to at
tend 80 camps.
These camps will be open in July
and August Applications are now
pouring in to commanders of the
corps areas into which the army d.
vides the country for purposes of
administration. 1t is estimated
that about half of the 10000 quota
has already been filed.
The citizens military training
camps are regarded by the gov
eminent as an important invest
ment. 1t is said that every woman
should spend few months train
ing in hospital, not with the idea
of becoming a nurse, but so that
she may be familiar with princi-
pies of sanitation and nursing for
home emergencies. The war de-
partment says that every young
man should have at least a month
of military training not only as a
national defense precaution. but
also a personal health asset.
AS to the benefit of camping, it
is a recognized fact that as a ma
ton we need to pay more attention
to physical education. With all the
interest in athletics in colleges and
among working men, a compare
lively small percentage of people
q actually >engage in sports or exer-
else. A crowd of thousands gath
ers to see two little teams of men
play ball. All are enthusiastic pa
irons of athletics. but the onlook-
ers get only fresh air and a little
relaxation-none of the physical
benefit.
About one-third of the men who
apply for service in the navy and
marine corps fail to pass the physi-I
cal examination. Those who are
are not necessarily in per
feet condition. The government re-
pairs their teeth. corrects bad pos
ture and builds up underweight
conditions that lead to disease.
Not so much can be done with
the young men who come to the
citizens military training campo,
because there is only a month to
work in. Dentists and doctors are
n all the camps, however. to treat |
minor troubles.
One Month Brings Results.
The war department finds that a
month of regular routine Of eating, |
exercise, drilling and sleeping is !
enough to give most of the camp |
ers a new attitude toward health. !
The attempt is made to carry back J
% the campers home life the am
oition for physical fitness. Defects |
which cannot be corrected in the
80 days at camp are called to the |
attention of the boy and his fam
ly with suggestions as to steps that
will remedy the trouble.

fmuch health you have than deter
mine whether you have any or
ganic" trouble. Let US indulge in
an orgy of morbid imagination and
suppose your annual examination
forces upon your attention some
such facts as these: You have TAX
en- on some pounds of superflous
weight: your vital capacity is sew
eral cubic inches less than it was
a year ago: your heart, action is
excited for longer period by mod
crate exertion than it was a year
ago; your blood pressure is on the
borderiine or trifle, beyond what
a coldly practical insurance COM
pany would consider healthful; now
that you consent to think of it. your
general capacity is not so good as
it was, your endurance is appreci-
ably less, your memory is less de-
pendable, you find yourself littA
more short of breath when you en-
gage in any muscular exertion-
well. it is a sad story and l hate to
tell it, but it is high time to take
care of your cardio-vascular sys-
tenn.
Eyerybody's TB.
Some time ago in one of your
talks you intimated that nearly ev-
erybody has tuberculosis of the
lungs sooner or later. This doesn't
seem reasonable to me. Was that
a misprint? Or. o. 81
Answer-No, said that most of
us harbor somewhere in the body
focus of tuberculosis in a latent
state. It is too extensive to go in
to here l have a special letter on
tuberculosis which will interest
you and I'll gladly send this special
letter to any reader who asks for
it and encloses a stamped envelope
addressed to himself.
Toe Dancing.
1 should like to know whether
toe dancing spoils the feet. &c. To
Answer-On the contrary.
That Early Bird.
I notice that nearly every health
authority advises at least eight
hours of sleep each night. What
would be your advice to one who is
compelled to leave an open air bed
room at a. m, regularly because
he is awakened by the shrill crow
ing of a neighbours rooster? i
(E. k.)
Answer-One maxim silencer and
a pair of gum shoes.
How to Find Out
How can one find out positively
whether he has or has not syphil- !
lis? q. NJ
Answer-By consulting a physi- |
clan.
