THE COUE SYSTEM

1t may seem silly to repeat the
formula of Monsieur Coue OF
Paris:
I'm getting better every day
I'm getting better every way
But it works. Those who be-
lieve the kindly little old psycholo-
gist. and do what he tells them, do
get better.
He takes an old woman, whose
knee is bent with rheumatism, and
has her pass her hand over her
knee, repeating to herself, 1T
passes, it passes After about
20 minutes OF that, it does pass,
and she stands up and walks away.
He makes a bunch OF cripples
start hobbling after him, around
a table, and tells them they cail
move Just as nimbly as he can;
and in a few minutes he has them
running around like children.
They stay nimble, too-as long
as they believe in their nimbleneSs.
And isn't that just about what
the world needs today, in every
way" Just plain optimism and
faith in its own recuperative pow
ers, to replace the deadly pesslm-
ism and cynicism that have been
Gripping mems minds and spirits
since the war.
Though optimism and faith may
not in themselves cure evils and
solve problems, they provide con-
ditionS that make cures and Solu-
tons possible.

Few persons Would 60 50 lar as
to claim that the country received

The tools are used when the au-

they are not used with murderous

to destroy evidence.

there is q clash between the tools

THOSE BONDS

Governor Trinkle has wisely
determined not to call an extra
session OF the legislature to enact
legislation for a bond issue, think
ING it best to allow the question
to be passed on by the people.
When the members of the legiSla-
ture are to be elected next year.
then the issue will be before them
and they in selecting their Repre-
sentatives can impress their wishes
upon them. We favor good
roads and believe they should be
built at the earliest possible mo-
ment and Ii necessary that bonds
should be issued for that purpose,
but before this is done the whole
plan should be laid before the peo-
pie. They should be told where
the money is coming from to pay
these bonds and how it is pro-
posed to raise it and they should
also be told how much of the pro-
ceedS OF these bonds will be used
to reimburse those who have al
ready constructed roads and To-
Gated them to suit themselves, and
having made bad investment,
now expect to reCoup at the pub
lies expense. These roads should
be named, the price to be paid
should be stated and the person
named who are to be the bench
Charles. When this is done the
people will know how to pass on
this important matter, until 1t IS
done, road building by a bond ISSUE
is as dead as Caesar.

Health of City
Ruined BY Noises
(By United Prcs.J

Chicago, Dec. illumination OF
noisy thoroughfares is recommended
by Dr.. Herman n. Bundesen, COM
missioner of health, as step towards
reducing metropolitan sick lists.
The din of traffic, with Its con-
glomeration of nOises-sirens, horns,
Whistles, and changing OF surface and and
elevated lines--is running the health
of city people, according to Or Bun
desen.
"A surprisingly large number Of
nervous wrecks are created annually
in Chicago and other big cities by
the incessant din and clamor to which
the population are subjected ne
declared. --
REST and quiet. are essential to
the maintenance of the health ana
efficiency of the great crowds, OF
workers who spend most OF their
time in downtown offices IN the midst
of the traffic din
Bundensen pointed to the beneficial!
effects derived by the thousands CT
city people who spend their vacations
in the country.
"They alwayse return with nerves
recovered from the shocks Of city din
and noise and in much better ply
steal condition generally" he said.
"The economic benefits OF noise
less traffic were also added TO the
health commissioners observations.
employers should know that IT IS
almost impossible to attain any hi!sh
degree of ihcinecy or concentration
in any KIM of mental work in the
midst of constant uproar and contu-
sion" he continued
"The efficiency of employees who
work in noisy LOCALITIES is reduced
from 10 to IS per Cent?"

BETTER OR WORSE

So far as their views are reflect
ed by the officials of their asSocia-
ton and by their printed organ,
the Railway, Post-Office, employees
OF the railway mail service appear
to have been little impressed by
Republican Improvements III
their field. In its editorial and
other columns. a recent issue OF
the Railway PoSt-Ofhce undertook
to show. in fact, that the admins
tration has definitely defaulted on
the Republican promises OF the
1920 campaign so far as better
ment OF the postal service is con-
cerned. The following excerpts
from this journals editorial COM
meut are characteristic OF its
views:
-. the people expected that
their railway mail service would be
restored to its former standards.
But, instead OF a restoration, it has
actually been lowered since the
change OF administration. -.
Without exaggeration, it may be
said that the present service and
