problem is really up to the parents, to
check their children in the use of the
skates. This, however. Is not easy of
enforcement. The only sure way to
keep the children off skates In the
streets is to deprive them of skates
altogether. But roller skating is a
healthful exercise, and it will be a
serious hardship to deny the children
the pleasure and benefit Of it. The
suggestion has been advanced that
the young skaters should be compelled
to skate near the curbs and to skate
near their homes. 1t is easier to make
rules than to apply them. But surely
something must be done in view of the
numerous accidents that are occur
ring in Washington. Only last night
u boy of thirteen. skating on a COM
paratively unfrequented street. fell
and was run over by a motor car fol-
lowing the same direction. Fortunate
iy the boy was not seriously hurt.
Washington's streets are in Il rough
condition. SO rough that motoring is
more Of a discomfort than a pleasure.
Roller skaters are more seriously af-
fected by the inequalities Of the sur
face than others. They are easily
thrown by rough spots and holes.
They swerve quickly to avoid such OBJ
structions. and it is in these sudden
movements that they are endangered.
Thus one of the cures for the roller
skate evil is the improvement of the
pavementS.

The Roller Skating Problem.

Roplng off certain streets of the city
to make skating places for the chill
dren will not solve the problem of
safeguarding the youngsters. For at
best only very few of these spaces
could be provided, widely separated
and in the aggregate too small in area
10 afford room for but small fraction
of the skaters. Even such an arrange
ment would entail much inconven-
ience. People would be blockaded
from their homes. 1t would be i'm
possible to drive up to the houses
within the roped areas. deliveries of
goods could not be made directly and
traffic would be diverted. perhaps with
the effect of causing serious conges-
tion on other streets.
For these reasons the plan is not
favored by the District authorities.
particularly those who are directing
the city's traffic. Inspector Headiey
notes the objections to the plan in
terms that cannot be questioned.
The greatest danger does not arise
from the use of the streets by children
skating in play. They will naturally
seek the less frequented spaces. and
while their presence between curbs
makes trouble for drivers and imperils
the skaters to some extent. they are
more secure than the youngsters who
use their skates in running errands
and in going to and from school.
1t is urged, and with force, that the

An Educational Novelty.

St. Louis, Mo-. has inaugurated an
educational novelty Whether it will
become a permanent feature of the
school system there will depend upon
the reception given 1t by the ladies'.
The board of education has arranged
for night classes in automobile me-
chanics for women only, to be held
two evenings each week at the most
conveniently located city high school
St. Louis has been having a par
ticularly strenuous time with auto
,, mobile accidents. Severe traffic laws
did not appear to solve the problem
and now a new set of traffic rules is
being inaugurated eliminating. the
lefthand turn in all congested traffic
territory. Only rishthand turns win
be permitted.
1t appears to be the theory Of the
board Of education that a part at
least of the preventable accidents
are due to the unfamiliarity Of wom-
an drivers with the mechanical facts
Of the automobile. Many ladies are
excellent motorists. but it Is claimed
that the greater number even of
those who habitually "chauffe" their
own cars know little of the mechani-
cal construction and emergency pos
| sibilities of the auto. If those, and
also ladies who are planning to drive,
will be willing to accept the educa-
tion boards advice and instruction 1t
is believed that much good will be
accomplished.
Other cities doubtless will watch
the St. Louis experiment with a view
of doing likewise II the ladies decide
to accept the offer in the spirit it is
i5tended and do not boycott the
classes as being an, insult to feminine

The Ship-Liquor Decisions.

Attorney General Daugherty $ rul-

and that transportation and traffic on
American vessels are contrary TO law

Judgment respecting the liquor traffic

counsel of the Shipping Board. to Il
contrary effect. undoubtedly put the
United States government in a most
Illogical and Inconsistent position. Tn
der the eighteenth amendment and
the enforcement act the sale of liquor
is prohibited. Yet the government it
self was not only permitting. but ac-
tually conducting. liquor traffic on its
own ships.
In respect 20 the sale of liquor on
ships Of American registry there
can he no possible question in
The minds Of those who are not
prc JUDGED against the amendment
and the enforcement act. On the
score of the prohibition of tranSporta
ton on all ships there may still be
some doubt. The Attorney Generals
lulinS holds that the possession or
transportation of intoxicating liquors
ly foreign ships in American waters
is contrary to the law as defined by
the Supreme Court in Il recent de
ciSion. This is u sweeping prohibition,
which the owners of fOreign-regiStered
ships will undoubtedly proceed to
fight with perhaps test cases and ap-
pcalS.
Under the ruling Of the Attorney
General no ship carrying liquor. sealed
~ unsealed. Cased or open. can enter
an American port. 1t has been Sug
gested that this will result in foreign
ships seeking other ports. That is out
- the question. The great foreign
lines will continue TO ply in trade with
New York. Philadelphia, Boston. New
Orleans. San Francisco and other
American ports. even though they
may not bring liquor into them. and
therefore may not offer liquor to their
cipal object of these ships is to carry
carSoes. and cargoeS will continue to
be borne to the great ports regardless
oe restrictions.
There will be no boycott Of Ameri-
can ports if this ruling is finally Sus-
tanned. Neither will there be a boy
colt Of The United States on the part
Of European travellers. Goods and peo-
pie will continue to come to this coun-
try and continue to go from it. what
ever the menu cards may announce
and whatever the stewards may serve
on board.
II the Supreme Court should finally
sustain the Attorney Generals ruling
ganst possession and transportation
OF liquors on foreign ships i'll Ameri
can waters there will be no discrim-
ination against American-owned ships.
1t has been said that a full enforce
ment Of the amendment and the Vol
stead act in application TO ships of
American registry would drive them
from the seas. Certainly this govern
nent cannot for the sake of maintain
ing d merchant marine afford to have

IN SIX MONTHS I
FARMERS COOPERATIVE SALES
AGENCY SETS ASIDE BIG
SURPLUS
(Farm Bureau News Service)

Farm Bureau News Service)
Profits amounting to more than
$57, 900 have been set aside by the
Central Cooperative Commission asso-
citation in the first six months Of 1922,
to be returned to patrons IN the form
Of patronage dividends.
In the irst five months Of it's opera
tions, ending Dec. 81, 1921, the far
mers' terminal marketing agency ac-
cumulated profits amounting to more
than $4,000. This surplus was return
cd to the livestock producers early
this year. The total savings realized
by farmers through dividends and sur
plus laid aside by the Central amount
to $4,000, although the organization
has been in operation less than a year.
Lower commission rates charged by
the Central for handling livestock, it
is estimated, saved farmers $4,000 in
the last five months of 1921. In the
first half of 1922, these savings have
been increased by another $4,000.
Profits and savings in reduced COM
mission charges do not represent all
the direct cash benefits of co-opera-
tive action on the terminal livestock
market, according to J. S. Montgom-
cry, general manager. Livestock val
ued at several hundred thousand dol

SEPTEMBER 10 TO 90 AGAIN RE
CoMMENDED FOB SEED CORN
XII TIME: fj.a n $5$s :z9E

Seed corn time is fast approaching
As autumn is the time to prepare fol-
a profitable corn crop the following
season, the chief Of the agricultural ex-
tension division of the state university
recommends, in accordance with past
practices in Minnesota, that September
10 to 20 be again set aside for Seed
Corn Time. i ">-~ i
Stalks standing in the field afford
the best opportunity for intelligent
selection. Any farmer can usually GO
into his own cornfeld when the corn is
mature and select high-grade seed if he
has planted suitable types Of corn and
cultivated properly. This gives chance
to select for desirable plants as we'll as
good ears. Seed should be selected and
saved as soon as the ears are ripe and
before the first hard frost.
AS it costs no more to plant and
cultivate an acre of corn yielding 40 or
so bushels, than an acre producing on
ly half that quantity, the successful
corn grower plans for large supply
of properly selected seed which, when
thoroughly dried and laid away where
it will remain dry and where mice can
not destroy it, generally give increased
yields.
The first killing frost is usually due
in Minnesota about September 20. To
be on the safe side, the seed corn sup
ply for 1923 should be gathered by
that date.
