day, because they'll see some good
claim to deplore.
Those who become disheartened in
doing good, because of the constant
fault-finding, need a new estimate of
the importance of the work in which
they are engaged. Instead of being
sensitive of criticism, it would be
much more to their credit if they ac-
cepted fault-finding as something TO
be expected; then their efforts would
likely be more effective in accomplish
ing the amount of good they set out
to do.
On the whole, the influence of re-
ligious work, even though slow and
disappointing at times, is responsible
for the high moral code under which
virtually all the civilized world
operates. There may be evasions of
the true course which is generally ac-
cepted as the pathway everyone should
tread. But. nevertheless, as a rule
people don't side-step very often with
out experiencing a pang of regret and
without lowering their estimates of
themselves.
1t is always disappointing when
those who teach others stray from the
proper course themselves. But. ii Is
well to remember that no one is per-
feet.

The Friendly Path
By WALTER l. ROBINSON
NO ONE is PERFECT

<<TF Met are so wicked with re-
ligion, what would they be with
out it," Those who are so free
with criticism of what religious or
CARNATIONS are trying to do are
seldom found helping whole-heartedly
In making their work more effective.
1t always is much easier to find fault
than to offer helpful advice. In re-
ligious work or anything else of con-
sequence there are always certain to
be those who devote most of their
time to criticising. In consequence,
by fault-fnding. without commentator
or pointing the way to overcome the
things to which exceptions are taken,
the natural tendency Is to disrupt,
weaken and frequently destroy much
of the good that otherwise would
make the world better and its people
more happy. Let those who are so
free with their criticism of religious
activities keep the lesson Of the prov
erb that they'll get more Joy every

Too much attention has been paid
in the past to the "don'tS' of cookery
and the diet. This, thar, or the other
food has been considered unwhOle-
some. People were told that they ate
too much meat, or too many fried
foods or sweets, or that white bread
was necessarily unwhOlesOme, but
nowadays il is known that none Of
the common food materials properly
used is in itself harmful for the nor
mai person. The only exceptions are
the extremely small number of people
said by physicians to have "idiOsyn-
crasies," who must be particularly
careful about their food. What we
need is not so many 'dOn'tS" but a
few more dos" Here are some good
rules for the diet. say food specialists
in the office of home economics:
Sources of Vitamine A.
Use daily some milk. butter. and
greenleaf vegetables, either raw or

DANGEROUS TACTICS.
Reckless Pistol Firing to Stop

To the Editor of The Star:
The account published in your news
columns on Monday of the pursuit,
capture, escape, further pursuit and
final arrest Of woman for exceeding
the Maryland speed limit on the
show her drivers license when de-
manded by an officer, reads like a
novel.
In this instance the question Of fast
driving Is of minor importance as
compared to the cowboy method en-
ployed by the officers in their efforts
to stop the speeding car, driven by a
woman. 1t appears that the Maryland
officers had recourse to their re-
volvers, firing a number Of shots at
the tires of the fleeing car, a most
dangerous expedient Any one of the
ed from the metal work of the car
and have killed or fatally wounded
the driver, or the driver of a passing
car, resulting in a very distressing
tragedy.
The use of a revolver in such a case
is wholly unnecessary and unjustifi-
able. and the officer guilty of such
recklessness and inefficiency should
be very severely disciplined. Provi-
dentially no one was injured in the
attack upon the tires. but il might
have resulted disastrously to more
than one innocent mOtorist aside from
the demoralizing effect upon the wom
an behind the wheel. whose skill in
handling her car and keeping her bal
anee under fire doubtless averted a
catastrophe. l am by no means ex-
cusing the speeder. The whole ques
ton in my mind is that Of the reck
less use OF firearms on the public
thoroughfares, save in the most ex
treme emergency, which did not exist
in this instance. If the law permits
an officer to use his gun" under such
trivial circumstances as the case in
point, at SO great a risk to human
life, the law is clearly a blunder and
should be repealed forthwith.
