CRIME

Today, between TOO and 1000
Americans are being sent to prison.
That is the daily average.
It startles you. More startling is
this. from former Governor Martin
G. Brumbaugh Of Pennsylvania.
"Seventyine per cent Of all the
criminals now confined in institutions
throughout the United States are OF
juvenile ages"
Brumbaugh blames lack Of proper
physical training Of children while
they are attending school.
Physical training makes clean bod
les, which in turn make clean mind
and moral character. Gymnasium
and outdoors storts. outlets for ex
cess nervous energy, are the best ere

The situation has many angles, but
me of the most important probably
the dissatisfaction with the dispp-
'ition of Palestine at the Paris peace
conference. This little strip Of coun-
try, sacred to Christian and Mos
ems alike, was taken from Turkish
control and the Jews residing there

BACK TO THE COUNTRY

According to Roger w. Babson, one
of the best known political economists
in the country, revolution is to take
place in city development during the
next few years. The automobile is to
have as great effect on living condi-
tions as the sewing machine had on
wearing apparel. As the mill has taken
the place of the home spinning wheel
SO the suburb is to take the place of
the city for residential purposes. Ire
mendous movements from the cities
to the burbs maye be expected during
the next few years, according 10 this
expert.
| II is to be hoped he is correct. Liv
ing in cities is not wholesome. a.
a general thing. Out in the country
or in II city suburb not too thickl!
settled, people can be happier an,
live more cheaply and Sanely than il
crowded cities.
The back-to-t the-farm movement
predicted by Mr.. Babson is TO be cn
courag"d by all right thinking pea

THE sCoRNED PENNIES

Teaching children the honest val

economic adjustment which needs at

The other day a woman who is
fond Of skating went to a public
rink much frequented by school chill

waiting her turn at the checking
window four pennies were dropped by
children in taking their change. In
no instance did any Of the children
who dropped the coins or ony of
their mates do anything but cast .
bored glance at the floor. Not one
Of them stopped to pick up a coin.
The woman picked up the loot and

FAIR COLDS.

Now that the fairs are all over, let
us make some reckonings. Did you
attend the fair, any fair Well, how's
your cold by this time? OF course
you had one, or "a touch of the flue,"
or return of your hay fever or
asthma, or bad case Of sniffles of
some sort.
Think back; do you know of anyone
who took in the fair, made thorough
job of it, remained all day, saw all
there was to be seen, milled about in
the crowds, helped to kick up the
dust and then breathed it into his
nose, throat and lungs, who did not
develop cold within few days fol-
lowing,
Have you noticed that this epi'
demic of colds grows worse each
year? More people have them, and
they hurt worse. The reasons, al
least certain reasons. are clear. There
are more people to kick up a dust
and the dust grows fouler and heav
ier with bad germs.
Dust is the most persistent cause
of these colds. II carries germs
easiest and falthest. And our fair.
are the most successful means W,
have yet devised to "kick up a dust.
Now, fairs are the very life of al
agricultural country, the social lif,
and the economic life. We cannot ge
along without them. Nobody want
10 get along without them. But is i
not terrible that we conduct them il
manner to make them one Of tn
greatest Observation-Disclosures know
TO our sO-called civilization.
This is not necessary. We max
too cheap provision for our fairs. Fo
the most part they are housed Il
sheds, with dirt paths and aisles
There is no provision against dust
The crowds poison each other b.
swapping their germs wholesale an
retail.
What is your solution of this prob
