CHILD DEATHS CAUSED BY IN
SANITARY SCHOOLS.

The health authorities in the nations
capital have sounded q warning to all
school authorities everywhere regard
ing insanitary conditions in schools.
Basing this warning upon mortality
statistics, the Washington health Of
flee quotes reliable figures to prove
the contention that the death rate in
school children is largely affected by
school conditions.
The mortality tables OF the United
States show that the death rate of
children decreases rapidly from the
age of year, in which it is very high,
to the age of 5 and 6, when it becomes
very low. The child at these ages en-
ters school, and the mortality rate
Immediately increases until the age of
IL is reached. At this age the death
rate almost equals that of the child
year old.
This waste of life, health experts
explain, could be reduced so per cent
which would increase the average
span of life of an American, which is
now SO years to possibly 48 or 90
years. The increase in the death rate
from the time the child enters school
is attributable to school life or group
association.
Some of the conditions which result
in children's diseases spreading
through the schools are named as
overcrowding lack of playground
space, poor plumbing, inefficient heat
ing, bad ventilation, insanitary drink
ing fountains, and insufficient care in
looking after children with contagious
diseases for a sufficient length of time.

FEARING "THE FOLKS BACK
HOME"

More than one editor has asked.
seriously, rs the national house of
representatives joker And more
than one national representative has
bitterly resented the query Admitting
that there are many good and able
men, clear thinkers. forcefu1 workers.
in the house, il is nevertheless inevi-
table that the house as a whole stands
up under very biting criticism when it
passes legislation up to the senate in
the comfortable assurance that the
senate will not make it into law
There is but one reason for such ac-
ton on the part of the house, and that
is fear of the folks back home"
But the folks back home" are by
no means the backwoods men and wo-
men of generation ago. The public
school, the movie, the trolley. the au-
tomobile, even the newspaper, afford
the man far from the city as good a
chance to know and think as his urban
brother.
Hence, when the house passed a bill
to deport all aliens violating the Vol
stead law or the narcotic law, it says
to the folks back home, This will
please you, because you believe in
anti-narcotic laws and prohibition
laws"
But will it? Comon sense Justice is
inherent in most Americans. We all
like to see fair play Is it fair play to
admit an alien and tell him I'VE have
one law for ourselves and another for
you; If you take a drink, we deport
you; if we take drink. we pay fine;
If you sell opium, back home you go;
If we sell opium, we pay finer"
How can we teach aliens American
justice If our house passes a bill evil
IDENTIFY unjust?
Let us pass all the antilaws we, as
a people, want But let us make the
penalty for their infraction the same
for rich and poor, American and for
eign, white and black

ARE YOU SUPPLYING YOUR FAIR
SHARE?

What one thing does the world need
most today-apart, that is, from that
all-inclusive thing we call righteous
ness?, Aren't you inclined to agree
with the poet that what this old world
needs is Just the art Of being kind?'
Every time visit a factory or any
other large business concern, l find
myself trying to diagnose whether the
atmosphere is one of kindness or the
reverse. And somehow if there Is pal
pably lacking that spirit of kindness,
cannot help feeling that the owners. or
the executives, have fallen short of
achieving twenty-four carat success
no matter how imposing the financial
balance sheet may be. Don't these lines
sum up, briefly yet COMPREHENSIVE
what the world needs today?
A little more kindness and little less
creed;
A little more giving and little less
greed;
A little more smile and little less
frown;
A little less kicking man when he's
down;
A little more I'VE" and little less al"
A little more laugh and a little less
cry;
A little more flowers on the pathway
of Life;
And a fewer on graves at the end of
the strife.

ONE REEL YARNS
COUSIN MARION

'Dick,'' said Mother. looking up
from a letter, you have a new cou-
sin. Your Uncle Henry has married
a lady with a child just your aga
named Marion. They are coming to
see US. Now you must entertain your
little cousin. l shall depend upon you
to see that Marion has a good time. .
Gee" sighed Dick, why couldn't
she have been boy! Now I spose
can't go swimming or anything"
During the next days Dick looked
out upon a word OF gloom. The Boy
Scouts were going camping. and you
couldn't take a girl to Boy Scout
Camp. And there was q circus COM
ing. Would cousin Marion be game"
to get up at dawn and watch them
unload the elephants?
Dick decided that the best way to
handle cousin Marion would be to
scare her to death tho first day.
So, on the day scheduled for her
arrival, Dick retired to his room,
donned his cowboy OUTFIT, grew himself
a fierce set Of burnt cork whiskers,
loaded both his cap pistols. coiled his
clothesl.ne lariat on his hip, and CALI
ing down to tell his mother that he
would meet her at the station,
snealIed down the back streets and
hid in the baggage room until he
heard the train pulling IN. He giggied
with glee as he pictured the lariat
descending over Cousin Marion's yel-
Low, curls--for she was, probably the
curly-headed kind
The minute Dick saw hts Uncle
Henry emerge from the train, he
grasped his lariat, and. dashins
across the platform with > blood cur
ding whoop. let fly his rope just as
Cousin Marion stepped on the plat
form. To his huge establishment
Cousin Marion let out an answering
whoop-for she was not q curly
headed girl but q red .headed boy.

ALDER ASKS FOR A
NEW FIRE STATION
Recommends Construc-
tion of Building at Bos-
ton and Seventh

In his annual report to the mayor
and commissioners, filed Friday,
Fire Chief Adler asks that the city
build n new central fire station at
Seventh and Boston, to cost approXi
mately 100000. Adler stated the
commission should not simply re-
ceive and file his report, but should
call meeting soon and make plans
or the elimination of fire hazards.
The chief recommended also that
larger water mains be placed I'm the
business district to replac9 the pres
ent inadequate six-inch mains; that
200 additional fire alarm boxes be
placed over the city; that ireplugs
be placed at least every 500 feet,
that 10 more men be added to the
fire department; that new and
modern fire truck be pure hased 10
replace the one now In use. and that
fire ordinances prohibiting oil stor-
age tanks. garages and cleaning
placed over the city, that fireplugs
be rigidly enforced.
For 1921 the total fire loss was
S1,613,271, which included $1,000
600 caused by the race riot, the re-
port shows. Exclusive OF the race
riot the loss was smaller than for

During the year there were GAG
