THE ROYAL RUBBERS

Last week if you read closely. you saw that the
king of Spain and his wife. in accordance with one
of conditions under which they still hold their
crowns publicly washed the feet Of a dozen peasants
Can you imagine this sort of personal service
being rendered by the elected leader of any republic
or desired by any self-reepecting citizen of any
republic.
There was a reason true. Of cource, just there
was reason, centuries ago. for kings when the
entire social order depended upon force for its
cohesive qualities and when leadership and tyranny
were interchangeable terms.
Spain, OF all nations has written history in
tyranny It has been ruled at times b. mbeciles
It given history its most fragrant examples of
intolerance and oppression It has been ruled by
the sword and fell to the sword.
This particular custom dates back so it is said
about three centuries when after a particularly
lent uprising, it deemed wise to give 70 the
people some visible assurance that the rulers
really their servants.
it happened that a mental demonstration
was chosen the outward symbol of love for their
subjects-and the kings and queens have been fol-
lowing it since that time.
It IS Interesting only marking the progress
which mankind has made from the day when it
could be fooled IL the mass by simple subterfuges.
It would be hard to imagine the most primitive
congressional district in this country being swayed
by any promise on the part of candidate to come
back a year 10 help out at threshing time or
do the family washing or to shoe horse in order
10 demonstrate that his heart beat with sympathy
for the people.
It would be difficult TO find mayor Of any city
who could be elected the promise that ne would
sweep the streets in front OF the city hall

Real leaders of the people co not need TO make
such public exhibitions The people know their
friends. not by symbols but by their actions ss5

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2S.-An
effort is to be made at the forthcom-
ing session of congress to stimulate
trade between the United States and
the Far East. 1t will be based on the
theory that there must be a sort of va
cation of trade with Europe and that,
meanwhile, the United States must
find and develop new market for
her large surplus.
All the world knows that two strong
elements prevent much trade with the
great manufacturing powers of Eu-
rope. First, the foreign exchange sit
uation practically forbids extensive
purchases by European nations from
the United States This is because
the European currencies are SO badly
deprecated that disproportionate
amount of the foreign money is re-
quired to purchase a dollars worth of
goods in the United States. Second,
the American protective tariff is so
high that European manufacturers can
not ship much here, pay the tariff,
and still compete with the goods man.

fore, there is a check on both outgo-
ing and incoming goods-the two cur
rents which make up foreign trade.
The United States is so attuned in.
dustrially that to attain her greatest
prosperity she must sell the surplus
of her manufactures abroad If she
cannot sell to Europe she must find
another market. The present indica'
lions are that she will look toward
Asia.
The Asiatic countries do not manu-
facture goods in the SAME vast volume
that the Europeans do. Japan, it is
true, rapidly is forging ahead as a
manufacturingg state, but her popu-
lation, her facilities and her manu-
| featuring skill have not yet developed
to a point where they can supply the

Furnishing Automobile Speedsters

To break up reckless driving by motorists,
many judges are inflicting drastic penalties,
some of them evidently outside of the provisions
of the law. This may be an effective cure for
men and women who kin little children and
adults in nnaniacai desire for speed, but it is
la doubtful remedy.
Judge C. L. Bartlett of Detroit announced
that 25 or more traffic violators, most of whom
were guilty of drunken and reckless automobile
driving, would be personally conducted through
the morgue to view the bodies of three men killed
lin traffic accidents. The judge grouped them
around the victims while he preached a sermon
ION the evil of reckless driving.
Six convicted traffic law violators of Cleve-
land were ordered by Municipal Judge Sawicki
Ito attend the funeral of little seven-year-old
girl, killed by an automobile while crossing a
street. The minister referred to the reprehen-
sible practice of fast driving in his sermon.
In Philadelphia judges have devised equally
drastic procedure to bring sense of guilt and
shame to offenders. Elsewhere in the United
States magistrates are sentencing traffic law vio-
Flators to ordeals that are as trying as the ones
mentioned in the foregoing.
i None of these forms of punishment Is pre-

mens for the. retiring prime minister
to advise the king to summon the lead
er of the opposition to form a new
government and the recent election
has made Macdonald Header of his
majesty's opposition"
Macdonald is noted for his parlia-
mentary skill, his gifts as a speaker,
and his extensive knowledge of for
eign affairs. He is a strong socialist
as well as an anti-militarist. His
career has been a stormy one. He
was rejected by large majority at
Leicester in 1918 owing to his anti-war
attitude and again badly defeated when
he contested the Woolwich constitu-
ency in the election of 1921. The vot-
ing was exceeding close at the recent
election and Macdonald won over
Clynes although Lloyd George cam
paigned against him using his war
record in the attack.
The new labor leader was born at
Lossiemoth in 1886. He was educated
at a board school and later married
the daughter of the late DR.. Gladstone.
He has two sons and three daughters.
He names golf and walking as his
recreations. He is the author of var
ious papers and books on socialism and
labor questions and after the death OF
his wife he wrote Margaret Ethel
Macdonald: a Memoir"

scribed in the statutes. The offenders could
have escaped the punishment by an appeal, on
the ground that the judge was infhcting pun
ishment forbidden In law.
One questions the advisability of this kind of
punishment to break up fast and reckless driv-
ing. Not that one seeks an excuse for the driver
who has no regard for the safety of the pedes-
TRAN and is willing to inflict injury or to take
life, but because the punishment is not pre-
scribed in law.
If the punishment for reckless driving is too
lenient, the statutes should be changed so as to
make them drastic enough to make the penalty
fit the offense An examination of the statutes
may show that they are stringent enough, but
that there is laxity in their enforcement and in
the infliction of the maximum penalty.
The consciences of some automobile drivers
are so hardened that nothing will check their
speed mania but prison sentences If this is the
case with some of them, judge can quickly
give them time to ponder their iniquity by i'm
posing prison sentence.
The lives of pedestrians will not be safe until
the reckless drivers are taught by severe punish
ment the value of driving with sense and re-
gard for the rights of others. An appeal to
their better natures ought to be sufficient. If
it isn't, let the punishment approximate the in
jury and deaths which they inflict. But let that
punishment be within the law and not one de-
vised by a judge.
The severity with which some judges are
dealing with these cases indicates rising oppo-
sition to the reckless driver In some cities auto
mobile clubs are cooperating with the authori-
ties. In Los Angeles, for instance, hundreds of
drivers have been given authority to arrest vio-
lators of the traffic ordinances and to take them
to police headquarters.

Answers to Questions


Information Bureau. Frederick ]. Hask-
in, director, Washington, d. G. This Of
fer applies strictly to information; The
medical and financial matters. 1t does
not attempt to settle domestic troubles,
nor to undertake exhaustive research
plainly and briefly. Give full name and
address and enclose two cents in stamps
for return postage. All replies are sent
direct to the inquirer.
@. How much would it be possible
to add to the acreage of the farms in
the United States?
A. The department of agriculture
says 1t is possible to increase the area
of improved land about 300,000,000
acres, or so per cent. This would be
accomplished by irrigation, drainage,
clearing and dry farming. Prices to
the farmers for products are not high
enough to make such an outlay of
time and money profitable.
Q. When was the Muscle Shoals pro
ject begun "A. d. +.
A. The improvement Of the Tennes-
see River at Muscle Shoals was begun
May %, 1928, when congress gave the
state of Alabama land enough to bring
100000. A canal was begun in 1881
and completed in 1886, but was not
adequate nor serviceable In 1871, the
federal government took the project in
hand, surveyed and built canal which
was finished in 1890 which cost more
than $4,000, 900. This is the canal
which was closed to navigation when
the construction of Wilson Dam was
started in 1918.
O. How is candied lemon peel fixed?
ID. r. s.
A. Scrub lemons, cut into quarters,

water, boil 10 minutes. Pour water
off and repeat five times, or until all
the bitter flavor has been removed
from the peel. Dissolve one-hal:
pound of sugar in ounces of water,
and cook to thick syrup. Dry peel
in the folds of towel, place in syrup
and cook until syrup is all absorbed
by the peel While hot, roll in dry
sugar. Orange peel may be done in
the same fashion, except the water
need be changed only twice.
Q. What is Dutch?-H. V. II.
A. Dutch is the language of the
Netherlands. The name is derived
from Dietsch, which means the yer
nacular. 1t belongs to the low Frank
fish division of low German. The name

which is the language of the Germans
which is divided into high and low
German.
Q. How many judges are there in
the Kansas Industrial court and how
are they chosen?-S. d.
A. The Kansas Court of Industrial
Relations is composed of three judges
who are appointed by the governor Of
the states, subject to confirmation by
the state senate.
