The American trade commissioner
at johannesburg writes that Uncle
Sam is big medicine among the ma
tive tribes of South Africa. They have
heard that the United States excels
In potent decoct1ons for correcting the
slips Of nature. In word, the Kaff1rs,
and the Zulus want something to take
the kinks out Of their hair. - It looks
as though the African f1apper was on
the map, says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
OF course, knee-length skirts would
hardly impress her. She has seen
white women wear them longer and
natives wear them shorter. Nor, alas.
would our best makeup boxes avail
much in Kaftir and Zulu climes. But
If the straight, glossy hair of the
Caucasian can be imitated-would not
that be worth while? Men benighted
are looking our way. They may not
care much about what we call the
triumphs of civilization in the way of
government, and we may not blame
them very much. Their minds are
plainly practical. Straight hair is an
achievement that cannot be denied.
So culture makes its conquests, and
we ought to be glad that they find
this much of our civilization to approve
and emulate. III:

Some people love horses, some peo-
pie love birds, some people even love
some other people, but where is there
man or woman who does not love
dog? Not a petted, pampered,
primped show dog, but just plain dog
nothing but dog from the tip Of his
nose to the tip of his tail. Give
youngster dog for a companion and
the kid will never go to the dogs. A
dog will be loyal and friendly, happy
and obedient, mischievous and love-
able doggone good friend for any
one. Just plain dog will do. A dog
without pedigree, without price, with
out anything to boast of except that
he is only dog with dogs Instincts,
dogs manners, a dogs sincerity,
dogs answering faith in and kindness
to anyone who will be loyal and kind
to him. Just plain dog. In other
words, a NUT, mongrel, yes, cur.
He will love his little master or his
little mistress. Every boy and girl at
some time in life is surely entitled to
one plain, everyday, ordinary dog.

Education should be sound as we'll
as pervasive, says the Review Of Re
views. Nothing is more to be desired
and encouraged than the tendency Of
men who work for wages to study po-
litical and economic science. We shall
be secure from radicalism and dan
gerous socialism only by virtue of the
trained mentality of our workers. Pri-
vate property is benefcent institu-
ton in a democratic republic, if con-
ditions are such that every intelligent
and Industrious man may reasonably
hope to becme a capitalist to some ex-
tent, while also earning wages or sal
airy.

The country furnishes the-most sue.
cesses, Says Gary, the steel king. He
advises every young man to get his
start in the country, which "gves
him a better chance" 1t is good ad-
vice, but it should be directed at par
ents: Until youth leaves home, it's
environment is selected for it. For.
getting this, in the mad. scramble for
wealth, is parents greatest sin. A
youth spent in the country is legacy.
In the city, it often is a curse and a
ball-and-chain that never can be
shaken off.

A.vAllANT GENERATION .


As a result Of the worldwide extern
sion and ever deepening interpenetra-
ton Of commercial interests, there IS
an ever present threat Of war, a threat
that can be met only by the steady and
systematic cooperation Of needom-lov-
ing nations to render Justice and re-
move the causes Of strife. If we are
to escape this inward and this outer
evil. the racial vigor and intelligence
OF civilized man must keep pace with
the powerful and complex material
fabric he has created, is creating,
writes John Corbin in Scribner's Maya
zine. Never was there such need as
today for full realization of the truth
of Ruskin's definition: The wealth of
nations consists not primarily in ma
ter1al things but in 'the possession Of
the valuable by the valiant" If civil
1zat1on falls once more, the basic
cause will not be economic oppression
in industry nor yet political laundering
In the matter Of a league Of nations.
It will be the lack Of a generation
Intelligent and strong enough to work
out of the present tangle of human re-
lationships in industry, capable of
working into more manly candor and
a steadier justice In administering the
affairs Of the world. That generation
can only be the achievement of very
valiant women

Much less than. two centuries ago
smallpox was more prevalent than is
measles today. In Europe those who
escaped it were a minority. George
Washington caught it when seventeen
years old, in Barbados, and bore the
marks of it through life Of all the
great epidemic diseases, smallpox was
the most terrible enemy Of mankind.
Conquest of it may be regarded as
one Of the most remarkable of human
achievements. Vaccination, supple
mented by the practice of isolating
sufferers, has wiped it out so thor.
oughly in this country that since 1904
s(according to a newly published state
ment of the public health service)
deaths from smallpox have been less
than one in 100000 of our population
per annum.

MORE COAL. FEwER MINES

!. A couple Of weeks ago, at the Hamp-
ton Normal and Agricultural institute,
l saw Plymouth Rock hen with 276
eggs to her credit as the measure of
a years work., writes George Otis
Smith, director, geological survey, in
the Nations Business. AS l am not
hen enthusiast, my mind wandered
from poultry records to subject near
er my heart; I found myself COM
pairing this hens year with the coal
mine workers year. Last year the
average soft coal mine of the country
was open for work only ITO days and
the average year in the soft-coal indus
try over long term Of years contains
only 2l5 working days-to that extent
is the output of the coal miner limited
by causes beyond his control. Yet
there Is the same kind Of public con-
Germ IN the length Of the coal-mining
year as in the length Of the egg,laying
year. Coal miners work by the year
just as hens work by the year, and
the cost of coal is related to the num-
Der of days on which the mine oper-
ates in the year just as the cost of eggs
is related to the number Of DAYS on
which the hen lays. In this respect
the coal business and the egg business
conform to the same economic law,
but are we making as much progress
with coal as with eggs?

The traditional reserve Of the Eng
lishlnan has nowhere been more notice
able than in his own railway coaches
An English court has just punished a
man who offended, in this of all places,
against his neighbours inalienable right
not to be spoken to if he did not wish
it. At Nottingham, near Robin Hoods
old haunts, an Englishman has been
fined the sum Of one pound sterling.
He bought third-class ticket and
wickedy climbed into a first-class
coach. There he found a fellow pas
senger. He not only addressed this
person not known to him, but per-
sstently tried to engage him in con-
versation. Unwarned by the others
silence, untaught of tradition, he kept
up the attempt with persistence
worthy Of better cause. At length
he became abusive, as conversational
people sometimes will. The court
fined him, but the dispatch fails to tell
how many shillings he had to pay for
merely calling his fellow traveller bad
names and how much for the trespass
on privacy. The right not, to be talked
60 has had at least some vlndication,
says the Rockford Register Gazette.
1t has not hitherto received quite as
much attention as the right Of free

BRoADcAsTlNG MOTOR THEFTs

A valuable automobile was stolen in
this city the other day, and within a
few hours radio broadcast report had
been sent forth from Washington CIV
ing full description of the car. This
is an innovation in police methods that
may make the game of motor stealing
less profitable and more dangerous.
Radio broadcasting may become a po-
lice ally in all lines Of rogue-catching,
says the Washington STAR The broad
cast voice reaches simultaneously
thousands of ears. Police stations
hooked up with radio systems will get
vivid reports Of thefts. 1t is possible
with this method, if the owners Of lost
cars make immediate reports to head
quarters in their own towns, to spread
the alarm over radius Of several
hundred miles within four or five hours
after the theft. In this particular case
the stolen car is described as easily
identified, having conspicuous stripe
around the body, initials on the doors
and other particular marks of indi-
viduaity. If it was stolen by pro-
fessional thief it will probably be
changed in appearance, but the makers
numbers will remain. The public little
appreciates the skill with which stolen
cars are being traced. The other day
In this city a car was found and iden-
titled that had been stolen at least two
years before in northern city, and
an arrest was made on a charge of the
theft. Motor stealing has become so
frequent that it has been called one of
the leading American industries
Broadcasting however, may cut the
profits Of this business. The courts
should give the highest possible penal
ties in all cases Of proven guilt, to
discourage crime that menaces
hundreds Of thousands of people.
