I can obey the traffic rules; l can look to the left and then to the right when crossing a street in the United States and look in the op- posite directions in Canada. l can watch the traffic rolice, with their
 stop" or "go" signs, keep on the right of the road, observe speed rules. stop behind a street-car which has stopped or go uow near school houses, keep out of the safety zone anl obey all the other traffic rules as we'll. If I am driving a car, l can have tire-chaiIs, on wet days.
 If were driving a car l should not try to beat the train across the tracks.
 Speeding is the cause of many ac- clderts. Last year, as we were driving to Tacoma, We met a speed Ing auto which was wrecked in pass ing us. This accident was caused by too much speed.
 I can help old people across streets and l can distribute safety pam rhlets at the different homes.
 Skdding is one Cf the main caUs- es of accidents. Drivers should al ways use tire chaines on wet days
 All drunken men should be kept or highways There may be a driv- CT who is drunk and is driving a car, or trying to, and get wrecked.
 Dogs should be kept of roads, as they make some crivers nervous, and sometimes the result Is an ac- cident.
 All these conditions could be i'm proved If each person would make this his motto. "I Will Watch Out For Myself" Hereafter. I shall not go out in the street when autos are coming. I shall keep away from car tracks. l shall help old people cross the streets, and try to keep people out of the way of skidding autos. l shall obey the traffic rules, try to keep drunken men oN the streets. and keep dogs away from the streets. l shall not hang onto moving vehicles and shall try to keep other boys from doing the same
 If I. and everybody else will do all we can to improve these condi- tions. it is bound to improve the highways of today.

A country of constant surprise and wonder-you who have always thought of Alaska as bleak and ice clad and but the home of seals and the producer of gold under the cruelest hardships-lis;en!

 The Tang poets do not fool them selves with Illusion. but. Scelng things as they are. find beauty In them-and thereby bring the high the deep, the everlasting Into simple, easy touch with the immediate,
 They are masters Of momentous minutlae the small things that make the big. They know and record the immense patience uf beauty. There is sadness In that patience, but it is an honest, a hearty and even relishaole sadness
 One feels that they had sent their souls out through all the intucacies that are now consuming thIs Western generation. through all the ways Of experience and imagination, and had then recalled them to the pure ele- mental truths, had received them again. peacefully cleansed Of Illusion and restlessness, and content In the final simple beauty Of the.r own door wards.

FOREIGN VIEW OF SHIP SUBSIDY.

The testimony given by Edward P. Farley one
OF the vice presidents Of the Emergency tleet Cor
poration before the senate commerce and house
merchant marine committees, holding joint hear
ing on the ship subsidy BILL is interesting and i'm
portant Mr. Farley has just returned from Europe
where he investigated conditions in five maritime
countries
The European view, expounded by him, u.s. on
the one hand, that the United States will be unable
10 exnand its merchant marine without government
aid and on the other, that the American people
have made up their minds to have an efficient mer-
chant fleet and will use all the in their power
to see that it is given the necessary amount Of
couragement.
This 1t must be conceded, is an accurate dag
nosis of the situation 1t is quite true that not oh
the administration, but also the American people
AZ whole are determined to keep the flag on the
seas and cheerfully to submit to the nfiniteslmai
taxation essential to the securing of that end. III
the adoption of this will, as alleged, bring
about a diversion of business which will work TO
the disadvantage foreign ships it is evident that
the American ships will be correspondingly bene-
fitted. and that Of course is of the main objects
of the subsidy.
Az all events II is not for an American to OBJ
ect and the foreigner accustomed probably to sub
sdy his country, can scarcely do so with any
fair show of reason Besides the eventual disad-
vantage is really probematic, for II foreign uaoe
over the world were back a normal basis. there
would be cargoes and employment for every snip
tit to sail In any case, 1t is the obvious duty OF
the nation to see that its own merchant marine is
by subsidy or otherwise. established on solid basis

UNCONSTITUTIONAL WELFARE.

The decision of the supreme court or the Oniteo
States declaring the child labor law unconstitu-
fional with no dissenting opinion directs attention
anew to legislative penchant for doing things that
are likely to beget popular approval in plain DIS
regard of the organic authority governing the
making of statutes. The merits OF prohibition OF
regulation of child labor not in any manner
assaiIed by the courts decislon the question was
purely whether the law enacted in 1919 was In ac-
cord with the constitution. which reserves to the
states the powers not specifically granted to the
federal government.
In this particular 1t Is apparent that con-
uress was we'll aware when 1t legslating on the
subject that there were constitutional barriers in
I dhe way of national child labor laws. But as 30
frequently happens when there LIS insistent ana
widespread demand for action to meet given OBJ
ectye 1t became the function Of the constitutional
lawyers in congress to devise some way TO get
around the fundamental law. Instead of passing a
bill prohibiting the employment OF children under
certain ages, which would have been unconstitu-
tonal on its face, the same result was aimed al
through the imposition Of what might seem to be
an excise tax Applying simple common sense to
the matter, the supreme court said in effect that
the powers of the states could not be taken away
by the misuse of national powers.
1t is frequently charged-and by none more ve-
hemently than members Of congressional corpora
tons employ lawyers great ability to devise loop
holes for avoidance of the law and to enable the
corporations to do things actually prescribed and
still keep within the statutes Yet congress itself
acts in analogous manner by attempting to crawl
through the constitution. 1t is setting a poor ex-
ample to attempt even good acts when subterfuges
have to be adopted to disguise obvious constitutional
prescriptions.

MOONSHINE WHISKY.

Long before prohibition, romance surrounded
what was known moonshine liquor. 1t may have
been trifle to the palate accustomed TO this
bonded article, but at least the mountain dew
regarded as pure stuff. When prohibition
upon the land and the booeggers began the man
ufacture o. synthetic whisky with its wood aco
hol and other deleterous ingredients. and when the
stocks of legitimate bonded goods grew scarce-,
faith still chung to the corn whisky of the real
noonshiners.
But alas! they are putting the fear of death by
poison even into that remaining solace OF the days
Of volstead. A district judge In Texas, charging
grand jury says that moonshne stills are now set
up in most insanitary surroundings and that the
barrels and containers Of the liquid the rendez
vous of rats, mice and other vermin and reptiles
that formerly Pigments Of the whskyfired
Imagination. He told the world that out of 1909
samples of moonshine whisky tested. only Is were
other than the rankest poison.
There seems nothing except left congress to
make bootleg liquor subject to the provisions of the
pure food act.
