Autos and Children.

A taXicab company says in an ad
vertisement: "The next time you see
a little boy or girl crossing the street
just ahead of your car, don't try to
blow them out OF the way with your
horn. Use your brake. Suppose the
child were your own-what would
you dou? Proba bly, come to a quick
stop. Then, why not do the same tor
the other chaps child? Man to man,
now-do you want some little chap
to cry all his life because you made
him a cripple?"
There is d sermon to automobile
drivers in the doctrine of using the
brake instead of the horn. 1t is true
that children should not play in the
them to use as much judgment about
crossing streets as adults-though
even the grown-ups do not always
display judgment that is faultless.
However, the fact is that one Of the
qualities of childhood is impetuosity.
Children playing safely in a yard will
suddenly decide to cross the street,
and away they go. without looking to
see whether a car Is coming. A
driver may go ahead. Declaring ne
has the right to be in the street, yet
in such cases applying the brake,
usually will prevent an accident, and
blowing the horn only confuses the
child and makes accidents all the
more likely.
The exercise of due diligence can
not always be expected and the bur-
den of saving children from injury
or death rests on the person who sits
at the steering wheel. Sounding the
horn is the common practice. but ap-
plying the brake is Demonstration

Rush Orders.

A chef discussing American menus
said that the curse of American cook
ing was the injunction, Rush this
order. please" Neither good prep
aration of food nor good digestion of
food goes with such an order. Prob
ably half of the American rush is
meaningless. indicating nervous
disarrangement of life rather than a
highly involved scheme of it.
Probably half of it results from lack
of planning and lack of concentra-
tion. Much of it is a mere gesture,
with no purpose advanced by 1t.
There is superficial stimulation in the
noise and in the swift movements of
automobiles. but the rush does not
have for the most part valid pur-
pose. 1t is a vicious circle. The
hurry makes Americans nervous and
nerves make them hurry.
A citizen of Chicago will give him
self fifteen minutes to his lunch and
then surrender three-quarters OF an
hour to a street-car trip home, when
the right kind of transportation
would cut it in half, if mot better.

A Park in Every State.

President Harding has indorsed the
plan OF establishing stat" parks. As
the President states: THE desira-
bility from many points of view of
establishing state parks is so obvious
that there hardly need be argument
on the subject" The President would
have done well. however. to give
few of the arguments. for the very
fact that many states do not have
such parks indicates lack of popular
demand for them. The point that the
longer delay there is in securing park
sites the more difficult and expen-
sive the systems will be is well taken.
Each state has localities Of striking
natural beauty or of great historical
interest which may we'll be set aside
for the public use, instruction ana
enjoyment. Within these parks may
be gathered q full grouping Of all
the fauna and fora of the respective
states.
Some species Of trees and plants
are disappearing in each state. These
should be preserved for their histori-
cal and botanical value. The same Is
true of the native wild animals.
Parks are the best assurance Of thsir
preservation.-Mobil Register.

MANILA, P. l., April Ex-Governor
General Wood is meeting success in
his appeal to the public for aid In the
amount Of 100000 pesos in caring
adequately for some 5000 lepers in
the Philippines-five Americans. the
rest Filipinos, Spaniards. Japanese
and others from both Guam and the
Philippine archipelago. A large num-
ber are Moros. and about half of the
number~are children. How leprosy is

Housing is insufficient. also hospital

be one doctor and two nurses for each
twenty or twenty five lepers.
Jnpan's Outcasts Arrive in 1892.
Examination of old records of the
Spanish government. dating back to
1912, Indicates that 2leprosy was not
widespread in the early Philippines.
But in 1882. seven years before the
massacre of the Nagasaki Christians
and the closing of Japan to European
commerce, 1872 Christian Japanese
lepers were deported by the Japanese
emperor and sent to Manila. They
were received here because they were
Christians, and San Lazaro Hospital
was built to house them.
This hospital and big plantation
In the suburbs of Manila were under
the administration of friars of the
holy order of San Francisco. and
all proceeds from the estate. by royal
decree of 1884, were given in per-
petuity for the care of lepers in
the Philippines.
(Settlements made since the Ameri-
can occupation Iissipated this assured
income; half the estate was awarded
to the Roman Catholic Church and
half to the government. and all of
1t, worth several million dollars, is
being sold Off.
In those early years. covering more
than two centuries. there was no
hospital or to the limits Of the estate.
The buildings were temporary and
permanent ones lacked walled
grounds and guards and the lepers
went, about at will, according to
the report Of the investigating COM

Cruelty Is Charged.
A large Japanese community de-
velope1l around the nucleus of the
leper group and it is very probable e
that many of the later immigrants
were also lepers. as the friar records
relate how terrible was the treat
ment of lepers in Japan.
In the Philippines, while they re-
ceived scant medical treatment, they
did recefve Succor and their 10t was
considerably more endurable than 1t
was in Japan.
There seems to be little doubt that
the spread Of leprosy in the Philip
